Tenemos que hablar de “Adolescencia”, serie de Netflix que es el acontecimiento audiovisual del momento como un pertinente, acertado y desolador retrato de nuestro tiempo y de los elementos que forjan la personalidad de las nuevas generaciones. En La Música Clásica De Nuestro Tiempo con Iker González Urresti escuchamos la banda sonora de Jung Jae-il para “Mickey 17”, quizá lo mejor de la película de Bong Joon-ho, y en Leer cine, la biblioteca sonora de Carlos López-Tapia, “En el país de los espías” de Mick Herron. Y como siempre las recomendaciones de Colgados de la plataforma con Mary Carmen Rodríguez (también editora del podcast) y la crítica de las favoritas “Por todo lo alto”, “Ghostlight”, “Misericordia”, “Secretos de un crimen”, “Morlaix” y “¡Lumière! La aventura continua”. ¡Muchas gracias por escucharnos!

Described by Mick Herron as ‘seductive, entrancing, and quite off the wall', Rachel Kushner's fourth novel Creation Lake (Cape) reaffirms her position as one of America's most exciting and accomplished writers of fiction. In a reimagining of the spy novel for an age of ecological crisis, Kushner leads us to a remote Neanderthal cave in rural France where the enigmatic Bruno Lacombe leads his followers in a radical project to reject and undermine the modern world. ‘I've never read anything like it', writes Brett Easton Ellis. Rachel Kushner was joined in conversation by the novelist and critic Adam Thirlwell.Find more events at the Bookshop: https://lrb.me/eventspodGet Creation Lake: https://lrb.me/creationlakepod Hosted on Acast.

New York City: Legendary interrogator Malcolm Chaucer is known as The Oracle. There is no subject he cannot break, no secret he cannot unlock. The key to his uncanny ability: eight years as the victim of experimental torture at the hands of a North Korean madman. Chaucer is a broken man, with a unique psychology that makes him both incapable of lying, and a near perfect lie detector.A routine interrogation of a witness to the murder of a Korean national leads to an explosive revelation: the assassin was none other than Tempest MacLaren, Chaucer's ex-wife. A frantic, last minute warning is all he can give her before a North Korean assassin shows up on her doorstep.And later that night, two more assassins target Chaucer for death. Chaucer discovers his drops compromised, his handler dead, and a million-dollar bounty on his head. Can he survive long enough to find his ex-wife and use his unique abilities to tell friend from foe, and truth from lies. And will he uncover the secret that is the Year of the Rabbit?Year of the Rabbit combines the man-on-the-run paranoia of Six Days of the Condor, the colorful characters of Mick Herron's Slough House series, and the raw fun of Lee Child's Jack Reacher series.

Obiora, Ayisha and Chris return for Episodes 5&6 of 'Slow Horses' Season 4. They begin their discussion with Frank Harkness and his background (10:37), before touching on the role of River's mum in Les Arbres, David Cartwright's possible other grandson (38:30), Jackson Lamb (56:06) AND MUCH MOREYou can support us here - https://buymeacoffee.com/popcornfordinnerSubscribe to our Newsletter via - https://popcornfordinnerpod.com/#newsletterAlso available on Youtube - https://youtu.be/9-NqT2xGv7c Hosts: Obiora Ifeacho and Ayisha BelgoreGuest: Chris ConnorProducer: Chinedu Iheji
Actors and comedians have usually played Donald Trump as larger than life, almost as a cartoon. In the new film “The Apprentice,” Sebastian Stan doesn't play for laughs. He stars as a very young Trump falling under the sway of Roy Cohn (played by Jeremy Strong)— the notorious, amoral lawyer and fixer. “Cohn took Donald Trump under his wing when Donald was a nobody from the outer boroughs,” the film's writer and executive producer Gabriel Sherman tells David Remnick. He “taught him the dark arts of power brokering … [and] introduced him to New York society.” Sherman, a contributing editor to New York magazine, also chronicled Roger Ailes's rise to power at Fox News in “The Loudest Voice in the Room.” Sherman insists, though, that the film is not anti-Trump—or not exactly. “The movie got cast into this political left-right schema, and it's not that. It's a humanist work of drama,” in which the protégé eventually betrays his mentor. It almost goes without saying that Donald Trump has threatened to sue the producers of the film, and the major Hollywood studios wouldn't touch it. Sherman talks with Remnick about how the film, which opens October 11th, came to be. Plus, Jill Lepore is a New Yorker staff writer, a professor of history at Harvard University, and the author of the best-seller “These Truths” as well as many other works of history. While her professional life is absorbed in the uniqueness of the American experience, she finds her relaxation across the pond, watching police procedurals from Britain. “There's not a lot of gun action,” she notes, “not the same kind of swagger.” She talks with David Remnick about three favorites: “Annika” and “The Magpie Murders,” on PBS Masterpiece; and “Karen Pirie,” on BritBox. And Remnick can't resist a digression to bring up their shared reverence for “Slow Horses,” a spy series on Apple TV+ that's based on books by Mick Herron, whom Lepore profiled for The New Yorker.
Obiora and Chris are shuffling between London and Lavande as they cover Episodes 3&4 of 'Slow Horses' Season 4.

The Apple TV+ show Slow Horses is a critical darling; it has received rave reviews since it first came out in 2022, and with season four in full swing, some critics are begging you to watch. But does this season deserve the hype? Or has the show's premise run its course? The series, an anti-James Bond drama starring an unkempt Gary Oldman as the head of MI5's flunky spy department, is based on the Mick Herron spy novel series, Slough House. Lilah is joined by a diehard fan of the novels, FT columnist and executive editor Robert Shrimsley, and the FT's chief features writer Henry Mance.-------Want to stay in touch?

A new season of “Slow Horses” began this week on Apple+. “The Secret Hours” is located in the same world as the series, but serves as a stand-alone novel about an inquiry into MI5's past, set up by a conservative government out to rein in the Secret Service. In the interview, Mick Herron discusses the origins of the book and of the Slough House series, as well as his career as a writer, and his writing process.

Ben and Nemone put Jackson Lamb from Slow Horses on the couch. Gary Oldman's version of Mick Herron's character has become household name, and you can see why. A man with many layers, a million secrets, and a lightning rod for other's emotions – perhaps he is the perfect Freudian analyst. Nemone gives us a crash course in transference and counter-transference, looks at why people mask and create false selves, and what drives people into a career where they hide their true selves from everyone, including themselves. This is the PERFECT watching companion to Season 4 of Slow Horses, coming 4th September on AppleTV+! And if you want to look at false selves, then listen back to our episode on The Morning Show's Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon.

DS Cupidi starts to suspect this is more than just an accidental drowning.Meanwhile, her friend and colleague Jill Ferriter receives a mysterious letter from a man who claims to be her father. Stephen Dowles has been in prison for the last twenty years, convicted of two brutal and senseless murders.With Cupidi obsessed by the death of Mimi Greene, Ferriter must lean on Bill South to uncover the facts around Dowles' conviction, revisiting old colleagues and criminals.William Shaw has been shortlisted for the CWA Historical Dagger, longlisted for the Theakstons Crime Novel of the Year and nominated for a Barry Award.

This week on Sinica, I speak with veteran China analysts Thomas Fingar and David M. Lampton — Mike Lampton — about a paper they published in the Winter 2024 edition of the Washington Quarterly. It's an excellent overview of how and why the bilateral relationship took such a bad turn roughly 15 years ago, citing mistakes both sides made and the reasons why China shifted around that time from one of its two basic behavioral modes — more open, tolerant, and simpatico in its foreign policy — to the other mode, which is both more internally repressive and externally assertive.Thomas Fingar is Shorenstein APARC Fellow in the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University. He was Assistant Secretary of State for Intelligence and Research. He served as the first deputy director of national intelligence for analysis and as chairman of the National Intelligence Council — and he's the author of many books, including most recently From Mandate to Blueprint: Lessons from Intelligence Reform.Mike Lampton is Professor Emeritus and former Hyman Professor and Director of SAIS-China and China Studies at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, and Senior Research Fellow at the Foreign Policy Institute. Mike was also formerly President of the National Committee on United States-China Relations.05:04 – The problem with the use of the term "autocracy" to describe China's system09:18 – Analysis of the motivation behind China's actions, questioning the assumption that all decisions are solely for perpetuating the Communist Party's power.10:25 – Rethinking Xi Jinping's personal influence over China's policy decisions: the checks on his power within the Chinese political system.15:58 – Critique of deterministic theories in political science regarding state behavior, particularly concerning China's foreign policy and domestic policy actions.19:13 – The importance of avoiding oversimplified and deterministic explanations for Chinese behavior on the global stage.23:43 – Discussion on the perception of China as an unstoppable juggernaut and the consequences of such a view for international relations and domestic policies in the U.S.24:41 – Analysis of the notion that China seeks to recreate an imperial tribute system in its foreign relations and regional strategy.28:09 – Introduction of the concept of two strategic constellations that have historically guided China's policy focus: national/regime security and economic/social development.33:11 – Exploration of factors leading to China's shift from prioritizing economic and social development to focusing more on national and regime security.37:38 – Examination of the internal and external dynamics contributing to China's policy shifts and the impact of globalization on societal and political tensions.48:47 – Reflection on the post-9/11 period as a time of relatively smooth U.S.-China relations and speculation on the role of international crises in shaping bilateral dynamics.52:59 – Discussion on the challenges and opportunities for the U.S. and China to adjust their policies and rhetoric to manage tensions and avoid further exacerbating the bilateral relationship.Recommendations: Tom: The novels of Mick Herron (author of Slow Horses); the novels of Alan Furst, including Night Soldiers and The Polish Officer.Mike: Philip Taubman, In the Nation's Service (a biography of George Schultz); and Liz Cheney, Oath and HonorKaiser: The Magician, by Colm Tóibín — an unconventional novelized biography of Thomas MannSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Everyone knows about the Cambridge Spies from the Fifties, identified and broken up after passing national secrets to the Soviets for years. But no spy ring was ever unearthed at Oxford. Because one never existed? Or because it was never found…?2022: Former spy Simon Sharman is eking out a living in the private sector. When a commission to delve into the financial dealings of a mysterious Russian oligarch comes across his desk, he jumps at the chance.But as Simon investigates, worrying patterns begin to emerge. His subject made regular trips to Oxford, but for no apparent reason. There are payments from offshore accounts that suddenly just… stop.Has he found what none of his former colleagues believed possible, a Russian spy ring now nestled at the heart of the British Establishment? Or is he just another paranoid ex-spook left out in the cold, obsessed with redemption?From Oxford's hallowed quadrangles to brush contacts on Hampstead Heath, agent-running in Vienna and mysterious meetings in Prague, A Spy Alone is a gripping international thriller and a searing portrait of modern Britain in the age of cynical populism. Perfect for readers of Charles Cumming, Mick Herron and John le Carré.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

This week we talk to the father-daughter team of Marty Ohlhaut and Grace Ly. They have written a travel memoir called Tent for Seven: A Camping Adventure Gone South Out West. This book is based on the true story of their family camping trip to the Canadian Rockies which went horribly wrong in the 1990s. Marty, his wife Jolene, and their 5 children flew from Charlotte NC to the Pacific Northwest and then drove a van to several spots in the majestic Canadian mountains. They camped in their family tent, lovingly referred to as Big Blue. While there, so many things went awry but most importantly, Jolene was severely injured and had to be taken to a hospital where she spent many days. The Ohlhaut family was in disarray but Good Samaritans named the Walshes came to the rescue. This family is genetically predisposed to adventure. You will hear Marty talk about some wild things he has seen and done, and even though Grace doesn't doesn't mention it, she also is an adventure seeker. She dog sleds in Finland and rock climbs in Colorado. Carrie and I are so boring in comparison.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universes. Fans of George R.R. Martin's epic world of Westeros and beyond got a New Year's treat when the author announced on his personal blog that the spin-off series Nine Voyages will now be animated rather than live action. Citing budgetary constraints that would have kept the live action show from reaching its full potential, Martin voiced his support for the media move while including that three animated projects are currently on the table though not all are greenlit. Martin also hinted at the possibility of graphic novels. In a move that absolutely looks to compete with streaming giants Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+, Warner Brothers Discovery and Paramount Gylobal CEOs officially entered talks to merge the two media companies. Both left 2023 with long-term debt loads, but with Warner Bros. market capitalization valued at $28.4 billion, perhaps there's room for both to turn around and become a real competitor in the wild world of streaming. Burnished into action by the controlling interest in Paramount having already been in talks to sell to Skydance, Warner Brothers Discovery has the opportunity to acquire such film franchises as Terminator, Transformers, Mission: Impossible, Star Trek, and more, as well as Paramount's television rights including CBS, BET, and MTV to name a few. This feels like an interesting move by Warner Brothers who made a similar acquisition with Discovery back in 2022. It seemed like it would be the year the box office failed due to the combined writer's and actor's strikes, a huge change in streaming trends, as well as audience taste changing. However, this was simply not the case. Among stand-out films like Barbie, Oppenheimer, and Five Nights at Freddy's as well as franchise films and both Taylor Swift and Beyonce's concert films, 2023 rang in an impressive $9 billion box office total. The studios that held up best in order of money brought in were Universal ($1.93 billion), Disney ($1.89 billion), and Warner Bros. ($1.4 billion). Netflix has released the first trailer for Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon Part Two: The Scargiver following the debut of Part One: A Child of Fire. The film will debut on Netflix on April 19, 2024. Part One, A Child of Fire saw a solid debut for Netflix, racking up nearly 24 million views in its first three days of release. Following the conclusion of What If? Season 2, Marvel released a first look of What If? Season 3 featuring Bucky Barnes and the Red Guardian. As for when Season 3 will drop, the first look simply says, soooon. Christopher Landon is no longer directing Scream VII. The director dropped out of the feature, capping a tumultuous few months for the embattled project that has included the exits of its two lead actors. The first episode of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” brought in 13.3 million viewers in its first six days on Disney+ and Hulu. “Slow Horses,” the hit Apple TV+ series based on Mick Herron's spy series of the same name, has been renewed for a fifth season. As of January 1, 2024, the first iteration of the character of Mickey Mouse dubbed Steamboat Willie officially entered the public domain and is no longer a protected character under copyright laws.

For Academy Award-winning actor Gary Oldman, now is the perfect time for his first TV series. Calling today a “whole new era of TV” after years of “snobbery” from film actors, he says, “You will see some of the best writing and acting and cinematography and set design in your home, on your TV,” Oldman told Newsweek's H. Alan Scott. And that's exactly what you'll find in his Apple TV+ series ‘Slow Horses,' now in its third season with the fourth already filmed and waiting in the wings. Based on Mick Herron's Slough House book series, Oldman plays Jackson Lamb, the disheveled (and likely intoxicated) head of a U.K. MI5 division for security agents who have screwed up but not been fired. “He's in, but he's out. It's that thing of being really very good at something in a world that you absolutely despise.” Lamb is more in line with Oldman's usual roles, more adult-driven, with the exception of one of his most famous characters: Sirius Black in the ‘Harry Potter' franchise. “My fan base went from [age] 36 to 6 overnight,” he said, adding he's so “privileged” to have been a part of it.

Apple TV Plus recently launched Season 3 of Slow Horses starring Gary Oldman as the disheveled, flatulent, and often drunk Jackson Lamb. It is also midway through its Monarch Legacy of Monsters show that expands Legendary's Monsterverse. I had an opportunity to speak with some of the creative folks behind both shows. First, I'll be speaking to Oldman and co-star Jack Lowden about where their characters are in this latest season of Mick Herron's espionage tale. Then I will talk to the people behind the camera who are bringing Godzilla to the small screen.
