Podcasts about Milicent Patrick

The Losers are back in The Stacks for another round for recommendations, digressions, and musings about the joys of the written word. Randall, Ashley, Sammie, and Julia begin by gabbing about some of May's new horror and genre releases and riffing on the latest news from the literary world, including Michael B. Jordan scooping up the rights to some BookTok favorites. Then we share our own recommendations, which span fiction and non, horror and sci-fi, and releases new and old. Two are about video games and one inspired 1987's Angel Heart. Pretty rad. Check out an abbreviated list of our recs below. Books: Dead Silence by S.A.

In the previous episode, I talked with author Mallory O'Meara about Milicent Patrick, but there wasn't room to include this bonus material about Mallory's new book, Daughter of Daring. It tells the amazing story of Helen Gibson, the first superstar professional stuntwoman in Hollywood. She was like a combination of Annie Oakley and Michelle Yeoh at a time when silent movie stars were trying to outdo each other in their death-defying stunts. Learn more about your ad choices.

In honor of Women's History Month, we're producing a two-part series about two visionary and trailblazing artists: Mary Blair and Milicent Patrick. They went to the same art school. They each began working at Disney during the Depression. They were both singled out for their talents but left in 1941. From there, they went on to have wildly different careers, but each had a lasting impact on pop culture. In part one, I talk with authors and historians Mindy Johnson and Mallory O'Meara about Milicent Patrick. She started as a special effects animator on Fantasia before designing the Gill-man from Creature from the Black Lagoon. Plus, I talk with makeup and effects artist Steve Wang about why the Gill-man is a horror icon. Mallory O'Meara's book is The Lady From The Black Lagoon, and Mindy Johnson's book is Ink & Paint: The Women of Walt Disney Animation. This episode is sponsored by Hims.

Milicent Patrick (c.1915-1998) was an actress and special effects artist who created the iconic “Gill-man” from the classic film Creature of the Black Lagoon. Though her credits on many movies were lost due to being blacklisted, her effect on Universal Studios' monster lineup is indelible.

October is the perfect time to delve into all things spooky. So this month, we're talking about the women who give us goosebumps. Some are real-life creators of spine-chilling works of fiction. Others are the subjects of frightening folklore. Either way, these Scream Queens are sure to give you a scare. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, Luci Jones, Abbey Delk, Hannah Bottum, Lauren Willams, Adrien Behn, Alyia Yates Grau, and Vanessa Handy.

Sergio Mora nos presenta su nueva obra, “La rocambolesca historia de la película LA CHICA DE SERIE-B” (Autsaider Comics, 2024), un libro difícil de definir. No es un cómic propiamente dicho, ni una novela, aunque tiene aspectos de ambos. Descubriremos la figura real de Milicent Patrick, creadora del monstruo de la película clásica “La criatura de la Laguna Negra”, cuya autoría se ocultó durante décadas, a través de los ojos del cineasta ficticio Simón Sagal, cuya vida personal dará un giro inesperado e insólito. Un libro sorprendente y estimulante a cuatro tintas.Escuchar audio

Happy Halloween from The B-Side! Here we talk about movie directors! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today we talk about Tim Burton! The man! The brand! The artist! The director! The lothario (complimentary)! The B-Sides today include Mars Attacks!, Sleepy Hollow, Planet of the Apes, and Frankenweenie. Our esteemed guest is Maria Lewis, “best-selling author, screenwriter, film curator and pop culture etymologist currently based in Australia.”  As Beetlejuice Beetlejuice still rakes in money in theaters, we discuss Burton's influence, whether or not he's actually a good director (something Burton himself has questioned in the past), his best films and his worst films, his inspirations, and the love-and-hate relationship with Disney from the very beginning of his career. There is also the observation that most of Tim Burton's films are some version of Alice in Wonderland. Including, ahem, Alice in Wonderland. Also discussed is Maria's very cool podcast “The Phantom Never Dies,” about the superhero serial character The Phantom. Another important mention is Milicent Patrick, the woman who designed the creature from the Creature from the Black Lagoon film. And finally, we take the time to appreciate the incredibly underrated Australian film director Simon Wincer.  Be sure to give us a follow on Twitter and Facebook at @TFSBSide.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! It's our Halloween special episode, with our amazing ethereal guest Amber guiding us through our spooky season watch of the 1992 and 2021 Candyman movies! This was a very fun watch, with our guest Amber being a horror film aficionado, Halloween being Devin's favorite season (yes it's a season in her house) and Andrea not being someone who really watches horror films and watched not one, but TWO to discuss! Amber is an artist, educator, writer and cosplayer. If you haven't seen her amazing cosplay work, then go find her right now on social media - seriously you're already on your phone! Her cosplay pieces are truly works of art and huge labors of love, follow her cosplay on instagram at @demonslay.her and on TikTok @ohcult. You can also see her artwork @ohcult.studio on instagram - it's stunning! Go support this amazing artist and highschool teacher! Our teachers need extra love guys. We talk about the movies our parents didn't notice us watching as children, the playing of summoning games (again as children, hey kids are weird), the feminist triumphs and failings of the first Candyman film and how it compares to the most recent 2021 film in the series. Our women in film history fun facts are themed appropriately, being Cassandra Peterson who played the horror host Elvira, and Milicent Patrick, a groundbreaking and sadly overlooked creature creator, animator, actress and makeup artist. We hope you enjoy this episode and have a frightfully delightful Halloween!

IT'S SPOOKY SEASON!!! We're so excited to kick off October with Stauney talking about Milicent Patrick, the only female movie monster maker, most known for her design of the Gill-man from the Universal classic horror flick, "The Creature of the Black Lagoon." From growing up on the major architectural site of Hearst Castle to being a part of the first round of female animators ever hired at Disney Animation studios and working on the Chernebog segment of Fantasia, to her work as a special effects makeup artist at Universal, this gorgeous woman, artist, actress, and creator had an incredible artistic legacy that was horrifically cut short by a jealous man with a giant ego... (a horror story all too familiar to us) that left her in obscurity for years!The book talked about in the episode is "The Lady from the Black Lagoon" by Mallory O'MearaEpisodes Like This One: The Science of Women in HorrorFollow us on Instagram @morethanamuse.podcast

How did the Cosmopolitan become an iconic cocktail on the TV show Sex and the City? Did you know an illegal shipment of Champagne revolutionized the entire industry? Which women are responsible for America's increase in scotch and bourbon consumption after Prohibition?   In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Mallory O'Meara, the author of the just-published Girly Drinks: A World History of Women and Alcohol.   You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks.   Highlights How did the Cosmopolitan become the signature drink of Sex and the City? Which next-level Cosmo should you try for your next cocktail? What's the connection between Carrie Bradshaw and the oversized wine glasses we now see everywhere on TV? What's the strong female history behind the drinks we now think of as categorically masculine? How did Bessie Williamson and Margie Samuels revolutionize the scotch, whiskey and bourbon markets in America after Prohibition? What role did Veuve Clicquot's kitchen play in transforming the way Champagne is made? How did Veuve Clicquot and Louise Pommery completely change the Champagne market? Which drink does Mallory prefer while writing? Why is a daiquiri Mallory's favourite cocktail? What are Mallory's least favourite drinks? How did Mallory first get into wine? What impact does Mallory hope Girly Drinks will have? How has book and author culture adapted to Covid? What's the last great book Mallory read? Whose interesting story got left on the cutting room floor?   My Tips for Navigating Wine During the Holiday Season How should you think about which wines to pair with Christmas dinner? Which wines will make great additions to your cocktail party? How can you pick the right wines for every gifting occasion?   Key Takeaways I loved the story behind how the Cosmopolitan became an iconic cocktail on the TV show Sex and the City, especially since I loved that show when it first came out and am now gobbling up every episode of the new reboot. There are so many parallels in other industries: you may not be able to afford the multi-thousand dollar Versace outfit on the runway, but maybe you can buy the perfume. The Cosmo was and is an aspirational drink for many women and some men and non-binaries too. Veuve Clicquot is a classic kick-ass woman's story, from getting through the Napoleonic blockades to selling her jewelry to fund the business. I loved hearing about swash-buckling women responsible for America's increase in scotch and bourbon consumption after Prohibition.   Join me on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube Live Video Join the live-stream video of this conversation on Wednesday at 7 pm eastern on Instagram Live Video, Facebook Live Video or YouTube Live Video.

Did you know that the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra has her own, private wine club and that it was used against her to bring down her empire? Are you curious about the first people to make beer? They were women called alewives, but the church didn't like that. Did you know that the first bars were created for women?   In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Mallory O'Meara, the author of the just-published Girly Drinks: A World History of Women and Alcohol.   You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks.   Highlights How did Mallory's thirst for knowledge take her from filmmaker to writer? What has been the best moment in Mallory's wine career so far? What was it like writing about world history during lockdowns and the pandemic? Why were libraries so important in Mallory's research for Girly Drinks? What can you expect from Girly Drinks? How did Mallory's curiosity lead her to write Girly Drinks? Why did Mallory decide to put so much research into the writing of Girly Drinks? What is a micro-history? How does Girly Drinks take you on a journey from the beginning of civilization to the present day? What was Cleopatra's connection to wine and what surprising role did it play in her downfall? How did the social stigma associated with women who drink begin? What important role did alewives play for a significant time in our history? What role did the nun Hildegard of Bingen early church play in the shifting attitudes toward women and alcohol? How did the nun Hildegard of Bingen revolutionize the beer industry? How did Catherine the Great harness the people's love of vodka in her rise to Empress? Why were bars originally a marker of feminized drinking? What made Gertrude "Cleo" Lythgoe the most successful bootlegger during Prohibition? What was Ada Coleman's impact on cocktails as the first female celebrity bartender?   Key Takeaways I was surprised to learn that the first known depiction of someone drinking was a woman, but not so surprised that men thought she was playing a horn from the wrong end. I love the story about Cleopatra's drinking club with Mark Antony called the inimitable livers and her intoxication ring. I need to get one of those. It's fascinating how the gendered perceptions of alcohol consumption was used against her to bring down her empire. It was also interesting to discover that women made most of the alcohol back in the day from beer to wine as it was considered a domestic art. Again, not surprised that the church cast alewives cauldrons and brooms as symbols for witches.   Join me on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube Live Video Join the live-stream video of this conversation on Wednesday at 7 pm eastern on Instagram Live Video, Facebook Live Video or YouTube Live Video.

“The Lady from the Black Lagoon!” Listen to hear the story of the biggest pioneer in film and SFX history, who is largely responsible for one of the most iconic monster looks of our time. Tune in if you dare.

First thing's first, we're talking to recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and bassist/writer Kathy Valentine of the Go-Go's! You might not know that The Go-Go's were the first female band to play all their own instruments and write their own songs to have an album go to number 1 on the Billboard Charts! Well, now you know! Their recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame win got us thinking about our own firsts, as cringe-worthy as many of them are. Discover our first pets (hint: very low on the food chain), first albums (our hearts will go on), first jobs (dear god) and first kisses (GROSS)! Seriously, why do dudes under 30 always smell like Funyuns? Plus, Danielle reveals her freaky pirate obsession, Hayley uncovers the nasty truth behind Burger King's so-called "flame broiled" lies, and we go deep into the zen of deer/squirrel spotting! PLUS, our dedicated mixologist Shane Bagnall mixes us not one but TWO drinks! (He had to do one with alcohol and one without, as today's guest is a sober rocker). Like we've said before, Shane is not a half asser. He is a WHOLE asser. And that's not all folks...there's way more weirdness to come! Now is the time for you to kick back, relax and allow us to be the FIRST podcast to introduce you to the concept of "soul cankles." Ugh...Sorry about that.

In this special bonus episode, Bechdel Steph talks to podcaster and author Mallory O'Meara about her book on the legacy of makeup artist Milicent Patrick, who designed the Creature from the 1954 horror classic, Creature From The Black Lagoon. Milicent was often uncredited for her work and not taken as seriously as her male colleagues, and Mallory's biography of her life and career is a fascinating exploration of how one woman navigated the male-dominated film industry in the mid-20th century. Mallory O'Meara's book, The Lady From The Black Lagoon, is available in UK book shops now. Who Is She? A Bechdel Test Fest Podcast is a Bechdel Test Fest production.

If you like black and white films, 1950's 3D, groundbreaking underwater effects, and harpoon-wielding dudes in short shorts, you’re going to like this one. Eric brings the history of the monster movie format from Universal Horror, 3D, Milicent Patrick, and a musical (???) while Jaime questions everything she knows about this subgenre. See what inspired Guillermo Del Toro to make Shape of Water, where a woman falls in love with a Gill Man! This deep sea Universal Monster horror movie is definitely worth a watch, it's one of the old school best horror movies around!Content Warnings: Ichthyophobia (fish content!), aquaphobia, brief eye trauma, drowning. This week, we're highlighting the Environmental Defense Fund. https://www.edf.org/oceansShow Notes: Honoring Chouinard Alum and Legendary Monster Designer Milicent Patrickhttps://blog.calarts.edu/2019/03/19/honoring-chouinard-alum-and-legendary-monster-designer-milicent-patrick/The Fantastic Mystery of Milicent Patrickhttps://www.tor.com/2011/10/27/the-fantastic-mystery-of-milicent-patrick/The Lady From the Black Lagoon - Mallory O'Mearahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_RIHSXgS8w&ab_channel=TheKansasCityPublicLibrary

This week we are joined by the amazing author and producer Mallory O’Meara. Some may know her as one of the hosts of the Maximum Fun podcast Reading Glasses. But she is here today to talk about 2020’s sea shanty bonanza, Blow the Man Down. She and April get into the nitty-gritty of the creative process and discuss why some projects take longer to correctly finish. Mallory also talks about what brought her to writing her book The Lady from the Black Lagoon about Milicent Patrick, “the only woman in history to create one of Hollywood’s classic movie monsters.” Mallory also hammers home that women are not just joining the cultural conversation after #MeToo, but have always been there, contributing to history.Listen to Reading Glasses and check out Mallory’s book The Lady from the Black LagoonPlease check out storyblocks.com/SWITCHBLADEAlso, please consider financially supporting our show by becoming a Maximum Fun member at Maximumfun.org/joinIf you haven’t seen Blow the Man Down – it’s great!With April Wolfe and Mallory O’Meara.

(Josh) While most of us imagine life in Hollywood’s golden age as glamorous and full of star-studded extravaganzas, for Milicent Patrick, it was anything but. Working behind the scenes and on the sides of the sound stage, Patrick designed perhaps the most famous monster in movie history: The Creature from the Black Lagoon. In this episode, we trace the incredible intersections Patrick’s life had in history as well as her should-be-celebrated film career.   Click here for tips for Teaching with Podcasts?

This week on Shock Waves, your hosts Ryan Turek, Rebekah McKendry, Elric Kane, and Rob Galluzzo are joined by special guest Malloy O'Meara, author of THE LADY FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, to talk monsters! But first, the latest horrors! The gang discusses Shudder's CURSED docu-series, WE SUMMON THE DARKNESS, GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS, SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE 2, Ryan revisited the entire SCREAM franchise, as well as SCREAM DREAM on Night Flight, and our Night Flight pick of the week was AMSTERDAMNED! Then Mallory joins us to tell us a bit about her book on Milicent Patrick, now available in paperback, and then we each pick our 3 favorite cinematic non-Universal monsters in horror! The picks are varied! Tune in now! 

Every so often, I like to read a book for pleasure. With no expectation of a review or author interview. With no pressure on my back. Just for the enjoyment of the book. Mallory O'Meara's The Lady from the Black Lagoon was supposed to be one of those books. Alas. I enjoyed it so much that I knew I had to have O'Meara on the show. And here we are. The Lady from the Black Lagoon tells the story of Milicent Patrick, lead designer on the Creature from Universal's original Creature from the Black Lagoon. But Patrick's story is one that was essentially lost to history. O'Meara's book puts the pieces back together, from Patrick's childhood at Hearst Castle (her father was an architect there) to her days at Disney's Ink and Paint department to her time creating monsters and beyond. It's part biography of Patrick, part detective story, part memoir of O'Meara. But it's all awesome. And it's one hell of a fascinating and entertaining read.

Welcome to 2020! We're excited about the new year and all the amazing films to come. This week, we conclude #OperationUniversalHorror with Creature From The Black Lagoon. We're sad to see this chapter go, but we had a blast going through these movies. Plus, we're ending on a high note because this movie is gorgeous and awesome. Shout out to Mallory O'Meara and her amazing book "The Lady From The Black Lagoon" about Milicent Patrick, the actual designer of Gill-Man. Our ITMODCast ChatCast episode from the Chattanooga Film Festival is what inspired this deep dive. Claire saw her book and insisted I get her a copy of her own. You should buy the book! Follow the podcast @BaCEAPodcast on Twitter. Don’t forget to leave a review or comment.

Our guest this week, Kara Evans, is a transplant to Louisville by way of New Jersey and Atlanta and was looking for a fun way to meet new people. She is a healthcare consultant specializing in technology but her hobbies have always included reading and movies. So she decided to create a book and movie club called Books Going to the Big Screen which can be found on the platform Meetup.com, a site with a plethora of different kinds of groups you can join in any geographical area. Kara tells us the benefits and the frustrations of having Hollywood pick the book selections, why she needs crazy good research skills to keep up with the ongoing movie schedule, how their discussions in this club feel completely different than a regular bookclub when you are comparing and contrasting two different mediums, and how reading has always been her escape.

Creature from the Black Lagoon is a science fiction classic and its iconic Gill-Man one of the most recognizable and famous monsters ever created. It should have marked the beginning of a long film career for creator Milicent Patrick. But thanks to an egomaniacal boss, it would be her last film before fading to obscurity.

This episode of the Creepy Kingdom Cinema Crypt was recorded live at Midsummer Scream on 8/4/19 in Long Beach, CA.  We are joined by our special guest Mallory O’Meara, author of the book “The Lady From the Black Lagoon”, the biography of Milicent Patrick.  She was the uncredited designer of the Gil-Man costume from the classic film “The Creature From The Black Lagoon” and she was one of the first female animators at Disney Studios.

In this episode we talk to Mallory O’Meara – horror screenwriter, producer and the author of The Lady from the Black Lagoon. Join us as we discuss the book which features the story of Milicent Patrick, the creator of Gill-man from the film Creature from Read More

The story of Milicent Patrick, an artist who worked as an animator on "Fantasia" and designed "The Creature from the Black Lagoon."

Rounding out the interviews that Eric and I did at the Chattanooga Film Festival is our interview with Mallory O'Meara, author of The Lady From the Black Lagoon: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick. And just like our interviews with Brian Salisbury (of Junkfood Cinema) and Rebekah McKendry, Rob Galluzzo, and Elric Kane (of Shock Waves), talking with Mallory was one of the things that we were most excited about for CFF 2019 (and all of which were part of the teaser announcement before any of the films were even announced)!! Anyone who has ever met me and talked about movies with me for more than about five minutes knows that The Creature from the Black Lagoon is one of my favorite movies and probably my favorite Universal Monster (I mean, all of the monsters are pretty great...but there is something just so unique about the creature). And if you've listened to any of our pre-coverage episodes leading up to CFF 2019, you know that both Eric and I absolutely LOVED Mallory's book!! So, it was an incredible honor to be able to talk horror, the creature, Milicent, and social justice with Mallory O'Meara!! If you haven't yet, I strongly recommend picking up a copy of The Lady from the Black Lagoon - or, support your local library and check out a copy (if they don't have it, request that they get it!)!

Today on FilmWeek Larry Mantle and KPCC film critics Lael Loewenstein and Peter Rainer review this weekend’s new movie releases. We also discuss the lost legacy of movie monster maker Milicent Patrick with author Mallory O'Meara.

Creature from the Black Lagoon is a science fiction classic and its iconic Gill-Man one of the most recognizable and famous monsters ever created. It should have marked the beginning of a long film career for creator Milicent Patrick. But thanks to an egomaniacal boss, it would be her last film before fading to obscurity.

Milicent Patrick should be a recognizable name and a role model for several generations of young girls with filmmaking dreams. As the only woman ever to design a classic movie monster, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and one of the first female animators at Disney, she blazed a trail that up-and-comers should have been able to follow. But instead, her story was lost. She was denied credit for her work. And for over sixty years, her legacy was buried. When author Mallory O’Meara first watched The Creature from the Black Lagoon as a teen, her monster-loving heart fell hard. As she began to investigate the film, she made a game- changing discovery: the identity of the Creature’s creator. Milicent instantly became her idol and Mallory needed to find out more about this visionary. But her inquiries were frustratingly inconclusive. Why, Mallory wondered, isn’t Milicent Patrick celebrated for her transcendent achievements? How is it that women especially are in the dark about her significance? What happened to her? And why has she been erased so completely from cinema history? Eventually the writer and filmmaker realized that if she wanted answers to these questions, then she needed to unearth them herself. A standout debut that doubles as a call to action, THE LADY FROM THE BLACK LAGOON: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick chronicles Mallory’s journey to find the enigmatic Milicent Patrick and her own, similar trials in the male-centric world of film and horror. Extensively researched and vividly rendered, this true-life detective story uncovers a fascinating woman blessed with talent, looks, charisma and resilience whose pursuit of an unconventional path yielded movie magic. Piecing together the evidence, Mallory tracks Milicent from her early years spent on the periphery of Hearst Castle and her training at a prestigious art institute to her flourishing career, which was snuffed out by a jealous male colleague at Universal Studios, and her reinvention in the wake of that devastating blow. Along the way, Mallory explores Milicent’s thorny family dynamics, examines her personal and professional relationships, traces her artistic evolution, delves into the gender bias she contended with on the job and so much more. A strikingly original blend of history, biography, and memoir, THE LADY FROM THE BLACK LAGOON unfolds an eye-opening read from a unique perspective. Reporting from the inside, Mallory gets candid about her experiences in Hollywood, which illustrate the importance of Milicent Patrick as a pioneer and the resounding impact of her work to this day, including how her creations have inspired countless films and spinoffs, most notably The Shape of Water, Guillermo del Toro’s 2017 triumph. At once a passion project and an incisive take on movie industry sexism then and now, THE LADY FROM THE BLACK LAGOON offers an essential appreciation of an influential innovator as it foregrounds a behind-the-scenes cinematic culture that would seem all too familiar to Milicent Patrick. Mallory O’Meara is an author, screenwriter and genre film producer. Every week, she co-hosts the literary podcast Reading Glasses. Whether it's for the screen or the page, Mallory seeks creative projects imbued with the weird; horror and monsters are her passion. She lives in Los Angeles with her partner and their collection of books and cats. THE LADY FROM THE BLACK LAGOON is her first book.

Our monsters, ourselves: Why creatures repel us, yet attract us. Our latest American Icons segment is about “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” and producer June Thomas reports on how the movie became an audience-participation phenomenon — and gave a sense of belonging to some of those moviegoers who were made to feel like outcasts elsewhere. Kurt Andersen talks with author and filmmaker Mallory O’Meara about her new book “The Lady From the Black Lagoon,” the story of Milicent Patrick, who designed one of Hollywood’s most famous monsters but didn’t get credit for it. And how author Helen Phillips’ life was changed when she read Franz Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As the Chattanooga Film Festival draws ever nearer, Eric and I continue on with our pre-coverage of this year's CFF by recounting previous years of CFF. On tonight's episode, we discuss films from the 2017 Chattanooga Film Festival. As I mentioned on the previous episode, the Chattanooga Film Festival is so much more than just the movies...it is a cinematic experience and an opportunity to talk with other people who love cinema just as much as you do (including many of the people involved in making the films screened at CFF)...but, obviously the movies are a pretty major part. And while I wish that each episode leading up to CFF could be a deep-dive into every single movie screened each year, that just isn't possible. So, instead, each week we will be focusing on a few movies that really highlight the Chattanooga Film Festival experience from each of the previous years that I have attended (this will be the fourth year that I have attended CFF and the first year that Eric has attended) as a way to give Eric (and our listeners) a glimpse of what CFF is like. The criteria for the movies picked from each year are: 1) they are movies that I saw during the film festival that year, 2) they are movies that are available online (Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.), 3) they are movies that represented the experience of the film fest, rather than just being a good movie (there are some movies that are great movies, but you could get roughly the same experience seeing them in any movie theater...and there are other movies that might not necessarily be as "good," but it will be an experience that you are not likely to have outside of a film festival). With those criteria in mind, the films from 2017 that are covered in tonight's episode are: Dave Made A Maze, Feeding Time, Sequence Break, The Dragon Lives Again and The Zodiac Killer(both presented by the American Genre Film Archive), David Lynch: The Art Life, Dayveon, and The Devil's Candy, along with some brief highlights about The Monster Squad and The Void. We end the episode talking about The Lady from the Black Lagoon: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick - by Mallory O'Meara. The Chattanooga Film Festival will be screening The Creature from the Black Lagoon, pairing it with a talk by Mallory O'Meara. So, in preparation, Eric and I have both been reading her book (and we both very highly recommend it!) For tickets or more information (including complete lists of films screened each year) go to chattfilmfest.org - and be sure to follow them on Facebook, Instagram, and/or Twitter to stay up to date on announcements for CFF 2019. And be sure to come back soon for more cinematic discussions on The Gargyle Podcast!! Up next will be a break from our CFF coverage as we interview Bill Fulkerson and Kyle Kuchta on their documentary, Survival of the Film Freaks (which won a Gargyle Award during our Knoxville Horror Film Fest coverage for "movie that I am most excited to share with someone else"). After that, we will return to our CFF pre-coverage by discussing some of the films from CFF 2018. gargylereviews.wixsite.com/thegargyle music from besound.com

This episode we have an amazing guest re-joining us, the fantastic Shaun from Comics2Movies and XCT. So you know straight up it is going to be a great show! Also the DJ is on fire this week and makes us laugh till we cry. We begin with a look at an upcoming book release that is the biography of Milicent Patrick, the lady who designed the creature from the Black Lagoon. She has an amazing story that is sure to inspire many of us. It also looks at the harassment she faced and the ongoing issues in Hollywood today. Also discussed is the reaction of various law enforcement agencies in response to undesirable behaviours such as cyber-bullying. The topic is the 40th anniversary of Mad Max! That’s right the original movie that created a legend is 40 years old. There was a party in Victoria to celebrate with fans even coming from America. Of course this means we have to discuss the amazing films in the Mad Max franchise (even the recent Fury Road – which is suggested is not Mad Max, but you decide and let us know). Also this is when the DJ makes us laugh till we cry, listen out for it, believe me, it is amazingly funny. Next up is the Professor with some information about the PS5 and VR. Things are getting better with improved technology on the VR/AR front with arcades opening up around the place, but what is happening in the home? We then have the regular shoutouts, birthdays, and remembrances. Concluding with a chat about what Shaun is up to in terms of new projects to look forward to, so if you are planning on going to any of the comic conventions you will have to stop by and say G’Day, and check out what he has on offer. Particularly with his new graphic novels, so go along and check out his website and be amazed by the wondrous collection of artwork in the various comic books and graphic novels available for purchase alongside the extensive offering of various memorabilia there.

In episode 2, Gracie and Abbey talk about the various actors who played the creature, meeting Julie Adams in California, Milicent Patrick being over-shadowed by a man, and the mind blowing realization that this movie mixes religion and science!

When it comes to the monster movies of classic Hollywood, we might picture Frankenstein's creature, The Wolfman or Dracula…but alongside them we often see another monster that had a huge impact on the pop culture of that era: The Creature from the Black Lagoon, with a stunning design by Universal Studios make-up artist Bud Westmore…but as the decades rolled by, a scandalous ommission became evident. That Westmore did not design this creature, but a woman did…and she led a remarkable life of talent, tragedy and stolen opportunities because of her gender. Tonight on Our Curious Past we give credit where credit is due, to the hugely talented, but largely unknown Lady from The Black Lagoon: Milicent Patrick. This episode also explores the sexist working systems of the Walt Disney Studio in it's early years. Sources: This episode is based on various articles but mainly on the book ‘The Lady from the Black Lagoon' by Mallory O'Meara.Episode Sponsor:Get $1.49 per meal by going to EveryPlate.com/podcast and enter code curious149 Help support our show through Patreon.
