Movie of the Year: 1971The Finale, Part IIThe 1971 Film Finale Podcast: One Champion RemainsThe 1971 film finale podcast brings the Taste Buds' most ambitious bracket season to its definitive conclusion. Ryan, Mike, and Greg have debated, dismissed, and championed their way through a remarkable field — and now eight films remain. In this episode, four Elite Eight matchups collapse into a single champion, and five major awards close out the season before the final verdict arrives.Furthermore, this finale caps a season that has included some of the most provocative, challenging, and enduring films ever made. From Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange to William Friedkin's The French Connection, the 1971 bracket has consistently rewarded listeners willing to sit with difficult, boundary-pushing work. The season also covered Straw Dogs, Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song, and Dirty Harry — each one generating strong arguments before falling short of the Elite Eight.Additionally, five competitive award categories — Best Sex, Best Violence, Musical Moment, Best Actor, and Best Actress — draw nominees from across the full season. Consequently, this episode stands as the richest and most content-dense installment of the year.ContentsThe Elite Eight MatchupsThe 1971 AwardsWhy the 1971 Film Finale Podcast Still MattersRelated EpisodesFAQThe Elite Eight MatchupsEight films enter. One leaves as the 1971 champion. The Taste Buds structured the Elite Eight around four head-to-head matchups, and each one forces a different kind of critical argument.A Clockwork Orange vs. The DevilsTwo of the year's most transgressive films meet in the first matchup. A Clockwork Orange arrived as a season-long frontrunner — a Kubrick film operating at the height of his formal powers, one that the Taste Buds covered in depth on their dedicated episode. Ken Russell's The Devils, meanwhile, delivers a fever dream of religious hysteria and state violence that stands as one of the most divisive films the Taste Buds have discussed all season. Moreover, this matchup poses a pointed question: which film earns its provocation more honestly? Both demand something from the viewer. However, only one advances.Harold and Maude vs. McCabe and Mrs. MillerHarold and Maude represents the season's most warmly beloved film — a dark comedy about love, death, and radical living that generated some of the most enthusiastic podcast discussion of the year. By contrast, Robert Altman's McCabe and Mrs. Miller offers a revisionist Western suffused with melancholy and moral exhaustion, its beauty inseparable from its grief. Both films carry passionate advocates among the Taste Buds. Consequently, this matchup ranks among the tightest and most personal bracket debates of the entire season. Above all, it asks whether warmth or ache makes the stronger lasting impression.Wanda vs. The ConformistBarbara Loden's Wanda — a micro-budget American independent masterwork — faces Bernardo Bertolucci's The Conformist, a visually ravishing Italian political drama. Notably, both films center on characters adrift in systems designed to diminish them. Nevertheless, they arrive at very different emotional endpoints: Wanda drifts, the Conformist spirals. The Taste Buds' arguments in this matchup reveal as much about their own critical values as about the films themselves. In practice, this is the bracket's most purely cinephile debate.The French Connection vs. The Last Picture ShowThe bracket's most commercially dominant film — The French Connection, winner of five Academy Awards including Best Picture — faces Peter Bogdanovich's elegiac The Last Picture Show. In practice, this matchup pits Hollywood's muscular genre filmmaking against its more introspective New Wave ambitions. As a result, the debate cuts to the heart of what 1971 cinema actually achieved. Gene Hackman's Popeye Doyle and the dusty streets of Anarene, Texas, represent two entirely different ideas of what a great film should do — and the Taste Buds have strong opinions on which idea wins.The 1971 AwardsBefore the bracket champion is named, the Taste Buds present five awards covering the full sweep of the season. This Movie of the Year 1971 podcast segment features each host nominating the moments they found most memorable, daring, or essential — and the resulting field spans an extraordinary range of films and tones.Best SexThe nominees range from the tender to the violent to the surreal, drawing from three different films and three distinct registers of human sexuality.Jacy and Abilene — The Last Picture ShowThe Pool Party — The Last Picture ShowThe Rape of Christ — The DevilsThe Sex Duel with the Biker Gang — Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss SongYoung Sweetback and the Sex Worker — Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss SongBest ViolenceThe nominees span the full tonal range of 1971 action filmmaking — from Dirty Harry's iconic bank robbery standoff to the slow, aching finality of McCabe dying alone in the snow.The Car Chase — The French ConnectionHarry Foils a Bank Robbery — Dirty HarryThe Kid Kills the Cowboy — McCabe and Mrs. MillerThe Ludovico Technique — A Clockwork OrangeMcCabe Dies Alone in the Snow — McCabe and Mrs. MillerMusical MomentThe nominees here demonstrate just how varied 1971's soundtrack was — Cat Stevens, Beethoven, and Gene Wilder all make the shortlist.Maude Sings "If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out" — Harold and MaudeOpening Funeral March — A Clockwork Orange"Pure Imagination" — Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"Singin' in the Rain" — A Clockwork OrangeThe Tango — The ConformistBest Actor The five nominees represent the full range of 1971 male performance — from Hackman's coiled rage to Wilder's heartbreaking wonder. Additionally, this category generated some of the most contested debates in the entire 1971 film podcast season.Warren Beatty — McCabe and Mrs. MillerGene Hackman — The French ConnectionOliver Reed — The DevilsJean-Louis Trintignant — The ConformistGene Wilder —

Since January 2024, few days have gone by without carving out some time to indulge in Sam Haft's work. Every aspect of Hazbin Hotel on Prime Video is wow-worthy, but Haft and Andrew Underberg have a magnificent knack for crafting one earworm after the next. Oftentimes, one of their songs is the last thing I hear in my head before drifting off to sleep, and it's the very first thing that comes to mind when I wake up the next day. I'm willing to bet many can relate because the Hazbin Hotel Season 1 soundtrack reached #13 on the Billboard 200, and now it's happening all over again. The Hazbin Hotel Season 2 soundtrack managed to hit a high of #8 on the Billboard 200.The success of the soundtracks beyond the main series is a remarkable achievement, but one of the most staggeringly impressive aspects of Haft and Underberg's work is how heavily, and successfully, their songs contribute to the Hazbin Hotel storyline. Yes, the songs can simply be a blast to listen to, but they're also brimming with brilliant narrative subtext.With Hazbin Hotel Season 2 out in full, Haft took the time to swing by the Collider Forces studio to break down his journey to the hit Prime Video series, and also to dig into the creation of many of the Season 2 songs. He offered up a peek behind the curtain of much-talked-about tracks like “Gravity,” “Piss (A Love Song), and “Love in a Bottle,” but he also made a point to zero in on one particular aspect of “Live to Live" because he thinks it's actually “the most important musical moment of the entire show.” Hosted on Acast.

From Flying Cars to Discipleship: Navigating Faith in the Modern World In this episode of the Divinely Uninspired podcast, the hosts discuss various topics, starting with casual banter about musical favorites and a humorous take on Penny's silent sneeze. They delve into the plans of franchising a famous chicken restaurant, Pollo Campero, and the coming of flying cars and humanoid robots in China, expressing skepticism about their practical implications. The conversation shifts to a serious note, exploring discipleship and evangelism in the 21st century, especially for those outside the church environment. The hosts ponder the challenges of applying ancient discipleship models in today's context and the difference between evangelism and discipleship. They emphasize the importance of living a life that exemplifies Christ's teachings over mere ritualistic practices. The episode wraps up with announcements about upcoming Easter services, including four different options to cater to the congregation's diverse needs. 00:00 Penny's Musical Moment  00:27 Welcome to the Divinely Uninspired Podcast 00:46 Chicken Restaurant Chat 01:12 Sneeze Talk and Funny Songs 02:22 Zoo Adventures and Daylight Savings 03:42 Jeremy's Travel Plans 04:17 Airline Preferences and Experiences 19:02 Generative AI and Future Tech 24:00 Underwater Adventures and Sunfish Fascination 25:26 Doppelgangers: Do They Really Exist? 29:58 Celebrity Lookalikes: Fun with AI Apps 33:01 Teeth in Eyes: A Bizarre Medical Innovation 37:30 Discipleship in the 21st Century 56:33 Easter Service Announcements

The DLP Show - Minnie's Musical Moment | 27/10/2024

Welcome to Why Music Matters, a podcast where we examine the power and influence that music can wield in our lives. I'm your host, Jeff Miers. Today's episode is a special one for me. Way back in 2002, I watched the renowned drummer, composer and Western New York native Bobby Previte lead a hand-picked band of musicians through the tumultuous and strangely beautiful terrain of Miles Davis' game-changing 1970 album Bitches Brew, at the former Tralf, in Buffalo. That performance changed my life, and taught me in a deep and lasting way what the concept off freedom in music truly means. In the time since that fateful evening, I've followed Bobby's richly diverse career, and gotten to know the man a bit. As a drummer and composer, he has been guided by a singular musical wanderlust, one that seeks to live in that dangerous space where form and chaos meet and commingle. “If it's not balancing on the edge of chaos, then it's no good, and I'm not interested,” Bobby once told me. I'm honored that Bobby is joining me here today on Why Music Matters, and it's fitting that we centered our conversation on Miles Davis and his enduringly influential Bitches Brew album - which, by the way, Bobby will perform with a curated band of top-tier Buffalo musicians at the Sportsmen's Tavern on Monday, October 7 at 7 pm, as part of the Classic Vinyl Live with Jeff Miers concert series. Welcome to Why Music Matters, Bobby Previte!

This episode of the Chevrolet Musical Moment program August 25, 1938. Kay Thompson performs. Chevrolet used music to attract car buyers. In the 1930's Chevrolet dealers could by syndicated episodes of Musical Moments to broadcast in their local market area. This underscores one of the biggest differences between Chevy and their rival, Ford -- marketing. Musical Moments was produced by the World Transcription Service in 1935 and 1936, and local Chevrolet dealers could pay (or, possibly were required to pay) for them to be played over their local stations. Music was provided by David Rubinoff and his Orchestra, who were veterans of The Chase and Sanborn Hour and Rubinoff had his own program on NBC during the same period as the Musical Moments broadcasts (Rubinoff's $100,000 Stradivarius violin was nearly as famous as he was). Announcing duties and the description of the latest Chevy models were handled by Hugh Conrad or Graham McNamee. Fifteen minutes of music might not have been enough to get you to by a 1936 Chevy for Christmas, but it certainly could have put the notion in your brain! (These notes were from OTRcat.com) Kay Thompson (born Catherine Louise Fink; November 9, 1909 – July 2, 1998) was an American author, singer, vocal arranger, vocal coach, composer, musician, dancer, actress, and choreographer. She is best known as the creator of the Eloise children's books and for her role in the movie Funny Face.

Hello Friends,This will be a short one, mostly just a song and a wish for a meaningful Good Friday. I encourage you not to rush through the pain of this weekend. Don't rush past the torture of the cross and the agony that Jesus bore. Don't be in too much of a hurry to take your eyes off of Mary, the mother of Jesus, at the foot of the cross, and what it means to lose a child. Don't be in too much of a rush to wrestle with the guilt of betraying your best friend. Easter is coming, but we aren't there yet. The struggle of Good Friday and Holy Saturday are a significant part of the story, so find the courage to sit in the tension this weekend. Blessings,Rick Lee Jameswww.RickLeeJames.com“I know a better man than meWalked the hill to Calvary.Sometimes it takes a cross to set us free.”(If You're Not Gonna) Move This Mountainfrom the album A Little Lower Than The Angels by Rick Lee JamesVerse 1How in the world did I get hereHow in the world do I leaveThe promised land is straight aheadBut just beyond my graspI'm trapped between the mountain and the seaI'm trapped between the mountain and the seaChorus 1If You're not gonna move this mountainIf You're not gonna part the raging tidesIf You're not gonna move this mountainWill You help me across to the other sideVerse 2Why in the world do I deserve thisWhy is it too dark for me to seeYou said you'd never give us anymoreThan we can bearBut it feels like You have given more to meBut it feels like You have given more to me(BRIDGE)Lord I know You never promised rosesAnd I know the rain will fall in this lifeAnd I know a better man than meWalked the hill to CalvarySometimes it takes a cross to set us freeChorus 2If You're not gonna move this mountainIf You're not gonna part the raging tidesIf You're not gonna move this mountainWill You help me across to the other side(Will You help me bear my cross to the other side)CCLI Song No. 4938431© 2006 Rick Lee JamesRick Lee James This is a public episode.

I've always loved hymns that tell the story of the life of Christ, starting with his birth and then moving out to the broader story.I found the lyrics to this hymn in a pile of books at a large book sale. I had never heard it before so I wrote music to accompany it. The lyrics are simple, but deeply moving to me. They identify with the earthiness of Jesus and his identification with the poor. What an amazing thought to think that Kings would come from afar to bow before an infant from a poor Jewish family.I hope you will find that the music accentuates the lyrics. The video below is a live version I recorded in our church sanctuary. The audio version at the top is from my album, THUNDER.I hope it will give you a few Sabbath moments to ponder.Blessings,RickRick Lee James Web Site This is a public episode.

Advent Week 1 - Sabbath Reflection“Into this world, this demented inn, in which there is absolutely no room for him at all, Christ comes uninvited. But because he cannot be at home in it, because he is out of place in it, and yet he must be in it, his place is with those others for whom there is no room. His place is with those who do not belong, who are rejected by power because they are regarded as weak, those who are discredited, who are denied the status of persons, tortured, exterminated. With those for whom there is no room, Christ is present in this world. He is mysteriously present in those for whom there seems to be nothing but the world at its worst.”Thomas Merton, “The Time of the End Is the Time of No Room” in Raids on the Unspeakable, pages 51-52“Advent Hymn (Watching, Waiting, Longing)” is a song of expectation that looks to the second coming of Christ through the lens of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection.  It is a joyful song of celebration and a way to retell of the story of Jesus. I'm so pleased that Lifeway Worship has made this song available for churches to use during this Advent season. What a story of hope we have to share.

I had a late night of podcasting last night with my new friend Daniel Deitrich, writer of the song, Hymn For The 81%. It was a good conversation and I am still pondering some things this morning that we discussed last night. (You can hear our conversation in about week and a half)Today I woke up for a 5am prayer time, did a 6 mile run , showered and then did my morning devotions from today's lectionary readings. After that I squeezed in a new episode of Animaniacs with my song while we had breakfast. Now it's time for a long day of online school with my son and putting the finishing touches on the liturgy for my brother-in-law's wedding this Saturday. This is just one day. For me it has already been a week full with work for church, 3 days of suffering with migraines, and a busy weekend ahead. I'm already feeling a need for some rest…but there is none in sight.It's clear to me that I need a Sabbath, and I wonder if maybe those of you who are reading this might need one too. The problem is that in the moment when we need it, we don't always have it. This post is the first of what I plan on being a series of musical Sabbath moments.This song, Morning Hymn ( The Long Night Has Passed), is a song I wrote for just this kind of moment, when we are desperately weary and we need a fresh start. In Christ we can trust that even if it hasn't happened yet, the long night will pass and the dawn will arise. I hope you can take a few minutes to listen this song, but when you listen, strive to hear from the Holy Spirit. May some word that is heard not be words from Rick, but words from God's heart to yours. For four minutes and thirty-seven seconds, I hope you can allow the light of Christ to dawn upon you this day. There is truly no greater rest than to rest in the Lord.Blessings,Rick Lee JamesSong: Morning Hymn ( The Long Night Has Passed)Album: Hymns, Prayers, and InvitationsPublisher: Lifeway Worship This is a public episode.
