Jeremy Zakis: Jeremy Zakis details the melodrama and unexpected struggles of the Australian cricket team during their series against Bangladesh in Darwin. Despite playing on home soil, the Australians fell significantly behind, leading to visible frustration and on-field tantrums. Zakis highlights an incident in which Mitchell Starc yelled at a Bangladeshi batter, as well as other players protesting rudely to umpires. He attributes the team's poor performance to Bangladesh's exceptional batting strength and their superior conditioning for Darwin's extreme humidity. Unlike the Australians, who are accustomed to dry heat, the Bangladeshi players thrived in these tropical conditions. Zakis characterizes this Bangladeshi squad as a black sheep whose performance has surprised everyone. He concludes that these bad days are a stark departure from the team's usual professionalism and raise concerns as they look ahead to the upcoming Ashes series. (2)
The centerpiece of Melodrama as Provocateur (Duke UP, 2026) is an essay by Linda Williams (1946–2025). Williams was Professor of Film Studies and Rhetoric at the University of California, Berkeley. Her highly influential work reframed some of cinema's most neglected or denigrated genres from a feminist perspective, including documentary, pornography, horror, and melodrama. Melodrama is the focus of what would become Williams's final project. In the last few years of her life, she was working on a project that traced melodrama's divergent fortunes in France and the US—and argued for its enduring relevance in contemporary life and culture. Williams's work on this project was curtailed when she suffered a stroke, the complications of which led to her death in 2025. In the wake of her passing, some of her friends, collaborators, and admirers joined together to make a book that honors and memorializes her. Not only sharing Williams's unfinished work with the world, Melodrama as Provocateur also expands on that work through a series of essays by scholars working in melodrama studies across time, place, and media. For New Books in Film, Alix Beeston sits down with the three editors of Melodrama as Provocateur: Christine Gledhill, an esteemed scholar of film and feminism who is presently a Visiting Professor of Cinema Studies at the University of Leeds; Laura Horak, Professor of Film Studies at Carleton University; and Elisabeth R. Anker, Professor of American Studies and Political Science and Director of Film Studies at the George Washington University. Celebrating the model of incisive and generous research, teaching, mentorship, and collaboration Williams provided, the editors of Melodrama as Provocateur discuss the unique shape of a scholarly book generated in response to a colleague's unfinished labor. They also take up some of Williams's provocations, including the political possibilities of melodrama in contemporary culture—from Trumpian discourse to trans cinema and beyond—and explore the kinds of labor, thought, and feeling necessary for studying melodrama as a form that moves or provokes us. Like their book, a work forged in grief and loss, Gledhill, Horak, and Anker's conversation casts film and media scholarship as an act of collectivity and love: a bid for a better kind of world.

Michelle is back and we're starting to move into the prime period of Douglas Sirk's filmmaking. Sirk was famous for his melodramas that played with identity, a place in a fixed society, and the balance of responsibilities and dreams. His films Taza, Son of Cochise, Magnificent Obsession and All I Desire each explore those ideas in dfferent ways. Not all are completely successful, but all are worth a deeper dive and closer exploration.

This week, Asim, Amrita, Sujoy, and special guest Parth from TooManyTats revisit Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna — the glossy, messy, deeply divisive relationship drama that pushed Bollywood into uncomfortable territory. Twenty years later, does Karan Johar's infidelity epic still work? The gang unpack Shah Rukh's aggressively miserable “Dev,” Rani Mukerji's quietly heartbreaking performance, Sexy Sam's outrageous energy, and why this film feels both ahead of its time and completely stuck in the 2000s. There's also a detour into today's Bollywood stars, OTT-era morality, Cannes discourse, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, and whether Maya and Dev would actually survive modern Toronto rent prices. Expect classic Khandaan chaos, emotional damage, soundtrack worship, and a surprising amount of analysis about chewing gum etiquette.

This week, Emilio, Madeline, and Julian welcome in fellow podcaster Christian Garcia for a bonus episode to discuss 'Written on the Wind', Douglas Sirk's seminal romantic melodrama from 1956 starring Rock Hudson, Lauren Bacall, Robert Stack, and Dorothy Malone in an Oscar-winning performance. This was a first watch for everyone involved, but a welcome initiation to the aesthetic and thematic paths on which Sirk often tread. The group digs into the reach and influence that this film had on modern filmmakers, how the film chooses to portray masculinity, the captivating performances, the blend of genres it manages to balance, and the many subversive touches Sirk sneaks into the film that give it so much staying power. Christian Garcia is a co-host of the podcast That Ol' Gay Classic Cinema. Along with co-host Luke Delmar, the podcast takes a loving look back at classic films from Hollywood's Golden Age through a queer lens.

DOMESTIC MELODRAMA AND THE FOG OF RHETORIC Colleagues Gaius and Germanicus, Friends of History Debating Society, Londinium, 92 AD. Turning to domestic matters, the speakers discuss a controversy in Minnesota involving an ICE-related death, describing the situation as a "melodrama" obscured by a "fog of rhetoric." Germanicus contrasts this "theater" with the genuine violence of 19th-century labor strikes and the Spanish Civil War, warning that while current events are performative, the specialized training of opposing factions is dangerous. They conclude that these domestic battles follow a script of performative chaos similar to foreign policy, risking a slide into real insurrection if the "talk" ever crosses the threshold into actual violence.

Y'a d'la joie, ce n'est pas seulement le titre d'une chanson de Charles Trenet ! C'est aussi le titre du nouveau spectacle de Michael Hirsch. Et si on commençait l'année 2026 sous le signe de la JOIE ? C'est le vœu de Michael Hirsch pour cette année 2026 ! La «joie de vivre», c'était pas son truc, lui a-t-on dit... Alors un jour, il décide de s'y mettre. D'être joyeux. Il se demandait quel était le secret de ces personnes toujours joyeuses naturellement ! Il se donne alors un an pour apprendre la joie de vivre ! Mais, est-ce si simple ? La Joie de vivre apparait quelque part au milieu du XIXe siècle. La langue française invente « la joie de vivre » dans une période paradoxalement plutôt sombre… C'est d'ailleurs Flaubert qui a utilisé l'expression pour la première fois dans l'un de ses romans. Puis, l'auteur Émile Zola a titré un de ses romans La joie de vivre en 1884. Et cette expression est reprise dans les autres langues... en français dans le texte. La joie : un acte politique et moral français... C'est à partir de ses lectures de neurospychologie, d'anthropologie et de philosophie que Michael Hirsch donne naissance à ce spectacle aussi drôle qu'émouvant. Le bonheur aujourd'hui c'est devenu quelque chose de très individuel, une sorte de norme que nous impose le développement personnel, alors que la joie, ça se partage. Pour l'auteur, c'est un travail quotidien que d'être heureux : « On a tous un état moyen de bonheur, on peut tous le faire varier à la hausse, à la baisse », affirme-t-il. Un spectacle drôlement savant bourré de références culturelles et très instructif. Son spectacle le plus « intime » selon lui. Invité : Michael Hirsch, auteur, acteur et humoriste. Il est diplômé en école de commerce. De 2011 à 2013, il est élève de Jean-Laurent Cochet. En 2014, il crée pourquoi ?, son premier spectacle seul-en-scène, puis je pionce donc je suis en 2019. Y'a d'la joie, son troisième seul-en-scène est à voir à partir du 20 janvier au 31 mars 2026 au Théâtre de l'Œuvre, puis en tournée.

Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode explore a once-popular genre of cinema which flourished in the mid-20th Century with films like Now Voyager, Mildred Pierce and All That Heaven Allows, and is still alive and kicking today - albeit often in unexpected ways.Ellen speaks to film critic Pamela Hutchinson about the melodramatic women's pictures of the 1930s, 40s and 50s, and about why the melodrama genre may be thriving in the current day, in the form of the male melodrama. Meanwhile, Mark talks to two directors from either side of the Atlantic, both well acquainted with the 21st century melodrama.British-Moroccan director Fyzal Boulifa talks about the influence of a 1950s Joan Crawford melodrama noir on his 2022 indie film The Damned Don't Cry, and about the post-revolutionary roots of the melodrama form. And American indie darling Todd Haynes discusses how melodrama runs through his filmography, from 2002's Far From Heaven, which reimagined the world of director Douglas Sirk for a 21st Century audience, to the ‘queer-melodrama' classic Carol.Producer: Jane Long A Prospect Street production for BBC Radio 4
