Podcasts about Mystic River

This episode is a first for Decoder Ring: a live show, recorded at the WBUR Festival in Boston, Massachusetts. Given the setting, we decided to take on a Boston-based cultural mystery: namely, the “Boston movie.” Beginning in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Hollywood has churned out a whole cycle of films drenched in Beantown's particularities, crimes, crops, class conflicts, and accents, from The Departed to The Town. Why does a city smaller than El Paso or Jacksonville loom so large in the cinematic imagination? Why does Boston have a movie subgenre all its own? What makes a Boston movie a Boston movie? With the help of three guests—film critic Ty Burr; Lisa Simmons, founder of the Roxbury International Film Festival; and Boston University linguist Danny Erker—we look closely at the history and heyday of the Boston movie: how The Friends of Eddie Coyle set the template, Good Will Hunting shoved the door wide open, and Mystic River ushered in an imperial phase. We discuss the importance of race and class to the Boston movie and the city itself, the role of homegrown movie stars like Ben Affleck and Mark Wahlberg, and, of course, the best and worst of Boston accents on film. This episode of Decoder Ring was produced by Willa Paskin and Max Freedman. Our team also includes Katie Shepherd and supervising producer Evan Chung. Merritt Jacob is Slate's Technical Director.  If you have any cultural mysteries you want us to decode, please email us at DecoderRing@slate.com, or leave a message on our hotline at 347-460-7281.

Season 7 rages on with this week's entry Mystic River, starring Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, and Kevin Bacon. Three friends growing up in Boston are scarred by an event that changed the course of their lives forever. Anger, resentment, and criminal mischief all weave a way through their lives, until one fateful night where a daughter is murdered and all signs point to one of the three friends.Support the showCatch new episodes of the Where to Stick It Podcast every Tuesday and Thursday.

On l'a souvent comparé à James Dean, mais plus on cherche à mettre Sean Penn dans une case, plus on se dit qu'il est inclassable. Ce n'est pas un Brad Pitt, pas un Tom Cruise, pas un Robert Redford, pas un Robert De Niro… Il n'est ni beau ni moche, Il a un historique amoureux compliqué, voire très compliqué. Il fait partie de ces acteurs qui ont une filmographie impeccable, mais aussi de ceux, plus rares, qui n'ont pas que le cinéma dans leur vie. Tout ça m'a évidemment donné envie de percer le mystère qui entoure Sean Penn. D'où il vient, comment il est devenu l'acteur talentueux qu'on a tous vu dans Mystic River et Harvey Milk, à quel moment il tombe dans les bras de Madonna et pourquoi on les a sulfureusement surnommés les “Poison Penns”. Mais aussi, au-delà de tout ça : pourquoi Sean Penn fait-il si peur aux journalistes ? Et pour quelles raisons donne-t-il maintenant l'impression de vouloir sauver le monde ? Dans le cadre de cet épisode, se succèdent au micro de Scandales :James Wolcott, journaliste américain qui a rencontré Sean PennMatt Hays, critique cinéma canadien qui a travaillé sur la représentation de l'homosexualité à HollywoodMartine Delvaux, professeure de littérature à l'Université de Québec, spécialiste de la déconstruction des clichés et des stéréotypesMarie-Pierre Houillet, docteure en sciences de l'information et de la communication, spécialiste des questions de genre dans les médias. Scandales est un podcast de Madame Figaro, écrit et présenté par Marion Galy-Ramounot, et produit par Lucile Rousseau-Garcia.

The Mystic River Chorale is the subject of this week's program with Frank Zilinyi, Artistic Director, and Sandra Streeter, Board Member. We talk about what the Chorale has done in the last season and their concert coming up on Sunday, May 18th at 4 PM at Mystic Congregational Church in Mystic. For more information, you can go to www.mysticriverchorale.org

We begin the podcast with Meaghan and Arthur playfully addressing the confusion brought on by a long weekend and busy schedules, setting a casual and conversational tone for the episode. They remind listeners that this is the last week of their series focused on unreliable narrators, tricksters, and deceptive perspectives in storytelling.They recap their previous episode, where they explored the various kinds of unreliable narrators, ranging from innocent children to substance abusers, pathological liars, and mentally unstable individuals. The hosts stress that the term “unreliable narrator” is often used as a catch-all, but it actually encompasses a broad range of narrative techniques and psychological complexities.Introducing Shutter Island and Its OriginsTo build on the theme, they examine a well-known adaptation - Shutter Island, a 2010 book adaptation directed by Martin Scorsese and based on Dennis Lehane's 2003 novel of the same name. They provide background on Lehane's literary career, his recurring themes, and his reputation for gritty, Boston-based crime thrillers. His stories often feature morally complex characters and psychological twists. Other adaptations of his work include Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone, and Live by Night.We learn that Lehane got the idea for Shutter Island after reading about psychological experiments in the 1950s, specifically post-World War II. The novel was intended as a tribute to Alfred Hitchcock, which helps explain its psychological tone and noir-style mystery. Meaghan and Arthur point out that while the film is visually distinct from Hitchcock's style, the story shares similar thematic undercurrents, such as paranoia, identity, and trauma.Dissecting the Plot and Narrative MechanicsThe hosts go on to recount the storyline of Shutter Island, set in 1954 and centered on U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his partner Chuck (Mark Ruffalo), who travel to a remote island to investigate the disappearance of Rachel Solando, a patient at a hospital for the criminally insane. Although the facility is heavily guarded and geographically isolated, Rachel appears to have vanished.From the beginning, Meaghan and Arthur highlight how the film uses subtle cues to raise suspicion. The guards are overarmed, the staff is evasive, and files are withheld. Everything contributes to the sense that something is deeply wrong. DiCaprio's character experiences disturbing dreams, hallucinations, and flashbacks to his military service during World War II, especially his role in liberating a concentration camp. These visions hint at trauma and establish Teddy as someone whose perception may not be entirely reliable.As the narrative progresses, Teddy becomes increasingly convinced that the hospital is performing secret psychological experiments on patients and that the missing Rachel may be part of a larger conspiracy. Meaghan and Arthur note that these beliefs are intensified when Teddy finds a woman in a cave who claims to be the real Rachel Solando - a former psychiatrist who was institutionalized after uncovering illegal experiments.The hosts express mixed feelings about this particular scene. Meaghan feels it is unnecessary and muddles the story, while Arthur argues that it reinforces the central theme: in an institution where authorities can label someone insane, any truth-teller can easily be discredited.The Big Reveal and Thematic WeightEventually, the story builds to its climactic reveal: Teddy Daniels is actually Andrew Laeddis, a patient at the asylum. He was once a U.S. Marshal but suffered a complete psychological break after his wife, Dolores, killed their three children. In response, Andrew killed her and was institutionalized.The entire investigation, including the missing patient and the conspiracy theories, was a therapeutic roleplay orchestrated by the facility's staff in a desperate attempt to cure Andrew without resorting to a lobotomy. Mark Ruffalo's character is revealed to be Dr. Lester Sheehan, Andrew's primary psychiatrist. Ben Kingsley's Dr. Cawley was overseeing the operation, hoping that by reenacting the narrative Andrew constructed, he might be able to confront reality and accept the truth.Meaghan and Arthur analyze the storytelling methods used to reflect Andrew's delusions. The use of water and fire imagery, disjointed conversations, and dream-like sequences all reinforce his fragile mental state. Arthur appreciates how the film mirrors the unreliable narration used in the book, where language and perspective conceal the truth until the very end.They also discuss how Andrew briefly regains lucidity, acknowledging what happened to his wife and children. However, in the final scene, he appears to relapse, again referring to Chuck as his partner and insisting they need to "get off the island."Meaghan suggests that this might be a conscious choice - Andrew possibly pretends to have relapsed to avoid living with the overwhelming pain of his past. His final line supports this interpretation.Which would be worse: to live as a monster, or to die as a good man?This final twist was not part of the book but was added during filming. Both hosts agree it deepens the emotional impact of the story and elevates the film's ending.Reflections on the Film and Comparisons to Other WorksThe hosts have a nuanced discussion on their personal responses to the film. Arthur enjoys Shutter Island for its suspense and atmosphere, while Meaghan admits she found it predictable, having guessed the twist early on during her first viewing. She expresses frustration that knowing the reveal made the film drag for her, given its lengthy runtime and misleading scenes that felt unnecessary.Still, both agree that Shutter Island benefits from rewatching. Knowing the ending allows viewers to pick up on subtle cues and better appreciate the layered performances, particularly DiCaprio's emotionally intense portrayal of Andrew.They also compare Shutter Island to other media that use unreliable narrators, such as American Psycho, Mystic River, and Gone Baby Gone. They find American Psycho especially effective, as it leaves viewers permanently unsure of what is real.Meaghan shares that Leonardo DiCaprio reportedly experienced nightmares while filming due to the emotional toll of the role, and they admire his dedication to playing such a psychologically demanding character.Reading Recommendations and Final ThoughtsTo wrap up the episode, the hosts offer several book recommendations for those interested in similarly themed stories:The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides: A psychological thriller involving a psychiatrist trying to understand a patient who has refused to speak since allegedly killing her husband.We Were Liars by E. Lockhart: A young adult novel about a privileged teen with amnesia after an accident. Meaghan admits she didn't enjoy it, mainly because she predicted the twist and disliked the poetic prose style.Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough: A domestic thriller that morphs into psychological horror, famous for its divisive and unexpected ending.The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides: A psychological thriller involving a psychiatrist trying to understand a patient who has refused to speak since allegedly killing her husband.They encourage listeners to revisit Shutter Island with fresh eyes, particularly to appreciate its themes, symbolism, and how its structure embodies the unreliable narrator technique. The episode ends with a teaser for next week's content and hints at surprises coming in May.

In this episode, recorded live at the 2024 Writers Conference, I sit down with bestselling crime novelist and TV writer/producer DENNIS LEHANE for a lively, wide-ranging conversation about how he approaches writing books vs. television scripts, his advice for writing true crime stories, as well as his journey developing his two latest AppleTV limited series, Black Bird and the upcoming Firebug, both starring Taron Egerton. Lehane is that rare novelist who has found acclaim and a large audience both in fiction and on the screen. A handful of his novels have been made into excellent films – Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone, and Shutter Island, to name a few – and in recent years he has become a much in-demand television creator and showrunner, a role that first began for him two decades ago, when he joined the now-famous Season 4 writers room on David Simon's iconic show The Wire.

En Cine de barra nos encanta el cine, pero también nos gusta desmontar mitos, y ese es el motivo de hablar sobre pelis sobrevaloradas. En este episodio, Plissken y Benalmadelman se han atrevido a poner en la diana algunas películas que, en nuestra humilde y cervecera opinión, están más infladas que el ego de Vin Diesel. Hemos hablado de La vida es bella, porque sí, es emotiva, pero si quieres llorar mejor córtate una cebolla. Belle Époque ganó un Oscar, pero… ¿alguien la recuerda realmente? El proyecto de la bruja de Blair nos enseñó que con una cámara temblorosa y mucho marketing se puede hacer historia. Luego está No es país para viejos, que más que un thriller parece una meditación sobre los malos cortes de pelo. Black Panther, no nos gustó… A ver, que sí, que representatividad y todo eso, pero la historia es una sucesión de tópicos reciclados, giros previsibles y momentos que parecen sacados de un manual de guion estándar de Hollywood. Un protagonista sin carisma, una trama política que no se sostiene y un conflicto resuelto de la forma más aburrida posible. Si esto es la revolución del cine de superhéroes, apaga y vámonos. Hable con ella y Todo sobre mi madre son el sello Almodóvar, pero con más premios que sustancia (que no falte el melodrama, claro). ¿Y qué me dices de En tierra hostil? ¿O Titanic, que nos vendió un romance imposible cuando claramente cabían los dos en la tabla? Avatar es azul y digital, sí, pero más vacía que una charla en Tinder. Mystic River y El gran Lebowski… bueno, Jeff Bridges mola, pero la peli no tanto. American Beauty nos intentó vender la bolsa de plástico como arte y Los otros… bueno, ya sabíamos todos que algo raro pasaba. Si quieres escuchar cómo desmontamos estos mitos con más humor que criterio, dale al play. Y recuerda: decir que una peli está sobrevalorada no es odio, es solo sentido común con una pizca de envidia cinematográfica.

This week, we're saddling up and getting back to our old ways, shootin' some fellas who may or may not deserve it, but deserves ain't got nothin' to do with it either way. It's 1992's Unforgiven, directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, Richard Harris, Jaimz Woolvett, Saul Rubinek, Frances Fisher, Anna Thomson and a blink-and-you'll-miss-him Lachlyn Munro. A revisionist western primarily concerned with upending the myth of the great American frontier that its director and star built his career off of, it is a dark, bleak and dreadful film that took home Oscar gold for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor (Hackman) -- just the third time in the Awards' history that a Western had taken the top prize. Plus: we're both deep in our respective music bags this week, hyperfixating on tunes from Willow Avalon and Bruce Cockburn. If you'd like to watch the film before listening along to our conversation, Unforgiven is currently streaming in Canada on and in the United States on Max at the time of publication. You can also find the show now on both BlueSky and Instagram, @adhddvdpod. Other works discussed on this week's episode include The X-Files, The Idea of You, Tenet, Canadian Bacon, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, Superbad, Oppenheimer, Mission: Impossible 2, GoldenEye, Mission: Impossible 3, Alias, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, The Incredibles, Tomorrowland, Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, Rye Lane, Baby Driver, Jaws, The Fabelmans, No Country For Old Men, Million Dollar Baby, Mystic River, Juror #2, Heat, Tombstone and High Plains Drifter. We'll be back next week to wrap up the month by roping a few of our January features' top stars as George Clooney and Bernie Mac unite next week for 2001's Ocean's Eleven, directed by Steven Soderbergh -- one of the most rewatchable films ever made, as we can't wait to revisit it yet again as it gets welcomed into the ADHD-DVD podcast canon. Ocean's 11 is now streaming on Starz at the time this episode was released. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!

Stephen King and Entertainment Weekly go back a long ways. The pair's relationship began with a handful of grouchy letters to the editor in which King excoriated the magazine's film critics. Kin's barbed words, however, only motivated the outlet to recruit the author — after he reviewed a Harry Potter book for them, the editors asked him if he'd want to like his own monthly column. In July of 2003, the Pop of King, a full page of King's pop cultural musings, debuted. In June 2023, The Losers' Club was initially going to discuss the column in one fell swoop in their Patreon-exclusive Archives series. However, after reading through the first year and change, they discovered there's too much brilliance, too many bad takes, and too much pure bile to not spread this out a bit.  In this episode, Randall Colburn, Jenn Adams, and Dan Caffrey travel back to 2003 and 2004, using King's comically acerbic reviews, recommendations, and takedowns to discuss how that era of culture resonates two decades on.  Topics include horror (obviously), poptimism, The Passion of the Christ, baby boomers, gradeflation, movie quotes, death, pet peeves, and Mystic River (the man would not stop with Mystic fuckin' River). And this is just the beginning. Want more?

Matty Dalrymple talks with Rene Gutteridge about WHAT AUTHORS SHOULD NOT LEARN FROM MOVIES, including how crucial point of view and inner monologue are in novel writing compared to the visual storytelling required in movies; how writers can mistakenly adopt a “director's” approach, leading to overly descriptive and less engaging prose; and delve the science behind the different brain functions of hobbyist writers versus professional authors. We touch on how conciseness in movies contrasts with the depth needed in novels, using examples like Dennis Lehane's MYSTIC RIVER, and discuss practical strategies for maintaining engaging pacing in fiction without losing substance.

Sean Penn is a powerhouse film performer capable of intensely moving work, who has gone from strength to strength during a colorful film career, and who has drawn much media attention for his stormy private life and political viewpoints. Sean Justin Penn was born in Los Angeles, California, the second son of actress Eileen Ryan (née Annucci) and director, actor, and writer Leo Penn. His brother was actor Chris Penn. His father was from a Lithuanian Jewish/Russian Jewish family, and his mother is of half-Italian and half Irish descent. Penn first appeared in roles as strong-headed or unruly youths such as the military cadet defending his academy against closure in Taps (1981), then as fast-talking surfer stoner Jeff Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982). Fans and critics were enthused about his obvious talent and he next contributed a stellar performance alongside Timothy Hutton in the Cold War spy thriller The Falcon and the Snowman (1985), followed by a teaming with icy Christopher Walken in the chilling At Close Range (1986). The youthful Sean then paired up with his then wife, pop diva Madonna in the woeful, and painful, Shanghai Surprise (1986), which was savaged by the critics, but Sean bounced back with a great job as a hot-headed young cop in Colors (1988), gave another searing performance as a US soldier in Vietnam committing atrocities in Casualties of War (1989) and appeared alongside Robert De Niro in the uneven comedy We're No Angels (1989). However, the 1990s was the decade in which Sean really got noticed by critics as a mature, versatile and accomplished actor, with a string of dynamic performances in first-class films. Almost unrecognisable with frizzy hair and thin rimmed glasses, Penn was simply brilliant as corrupt lawyer David Kleinfeld in the Brian De Palma gangster movie Carlito's Way (1993) and he was still in trouble with authority as a Death Row inmate pleading with a caring nun to save his life in Dead Man Walking (1995), for which he received his first Oscar nomination. Sean then played the brother of wealthy Michael Douglas, involving him in a mind-snapping scheme in The Game (1997) and also landed the lead role of Sgt. Eddie Walsh in the star-studded anti-war film The Thin Red Line (1998), before finishing the 1990s playing an offbeat jazz musician (and scoring another Oscar nomination) in Sweet and Lowdown (1999). The gifted and versatile Sean had also moved into directing, with the quirky but interesting The Indian Runner (1991), about two brothers with vastly opposing views on life, and in 1995 he directed Jack Nicholson in The Crossing Guard (1995). Both films received overall positive reviews from critics. Moving into the new century, Sean remained busy in front of the cameras with even more outstanding work: a mentally disabled father fighting for custody of his seven-year-old daughter (and receiving a third Oscar nomination) for I Am Sam (2001); an anguished father seeking revenge for his daughter's murder in the gut-wrenching Clint Eastwood-directed Mystic River (2003) (for which he won the Oscar as Best Actor); a mortally ill college professor in 21 Grams (2003) and a possessed businessman in The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004).

NOTE: This is an updated replay of my amazing chat with #1 New York Times bestselling author and screenwriter-producer Dennis Lehane. His latest novel, Small Mercies, was an instant NY Times Bestseller named an Amazon Editors' pick for Best Books 2023. Stephen King said of the book “Small Mercies is thought-provoking, engaging, enraging, and can't-put-it-down entertainment.” Enjoy! New York Times bestselling author and screenwriter-producer, Dennis Lehane, spoke to me about what he learned from Clint Eastwood, working on "Mr. Mercedes" with David E. Kelley, and his new Apple TV+ show "Black Bird." Dennis Lehane is the bestselling author of 13 novels including four adapted into films of the same name: 2003's Academy Award-winning film Mystic River, directed by Clint Eastwood; 2007's Gone Baby Gone; 2010's Shutter Island directed by Martin Scorsese, and 2016's Live by Night directed by Ben Affleck. His latest is the limited Apple TV+ series, Black Bird, described as a "...fascinating, ripped-from-the headlines story [and] true-crime drama..." based on the 2010 memoir by James Keene and Hillel Levin, “In With The Devil: A Fallen Hero, A Serial Killer, and A Dangerous Bargain for Redemption." "Jimmy Keene (Taron Egerton), cuts a deal with the FBI to enter maximum-security prison for the criminally insane and befriend a suspected serial killer, Larry Hall (Paul Walter Hauser)." Black Bird premieres globally with the first two episodes on Friday, July 8, followed by one new episode weekly every Friday. Lehane was a staff writer on the acclaimed HBO series "The Wire" and also worked as a writer-producer on HBO's "Boardwalk Empire" the Netflix series, "Bloodline," and a writer and producer on the television adaptation of Stephen King's "Mr. Mercedes."

As bodies were burning from this massacre at the Mystic River in Massachusetts in 1637, pious settlers gave thanks to God for the victory- and even identified that the bodies burning were a “sweet-smelling savor in the nostrils of God.” Is this really the Land of the Free? Does freedom for some depend on violence against others? Rev Dr. Lee Butler, President of Iliff School of Theology, shares his perspective on the violent history at the founding of the U.S. that continues to influence how we relate to one another today. Amanda and Rev. Dr. Lee Butler discuss the contradictions between the U.S. ideals of freedom and the country's violent history of slavery, lynching, and cruel massacres. In this episode, this duo argues that acknowledging this history is crucial for understanding the ongoing legacies of colonization and systemic inequality, and the importance of redefining this idea of freedom for future generations to come. https://religionnews.com/complexified GUEST: Born in Central Pennsylvania, the Rev. Dr. Lee H. Butler, Jr. is a lifelong Baptist and a first-generation beneficiary of the Post-Civil and Human Rights struggle in the United States. Dr. Butler comes to Iliff School of Theology from Phillips Theological Seminary where he served as the Vice-President of Academic Affairs and Academic Dean, and the William Tabbernee Professor of the History of Religions and Africana Pastoral Theology since July 1, 2020. He is the first African American tenured full professor and the first person of color to hold the office of VPAA and Academic Dean and serve as Acting President at Phillips. As VPAA, his responsibilities included oversight and supervision of the Associate Dean, Registrar, Recruitment, Admissions and Financial Aid, Director of Theological Field Education, Director of the Doctor of Ministry Program, Director of Black Church Traditions Program, Dean of the Chapel, Faculty, and Dean of the Library.

We're shipping up to Boston this week for 2003's modern day Greek tragedy, “Mystic River”! Sean Penn and Tim Robbins both took home Oscars for their rag-wrung performances, and Marcia Gay Harden was well and truly robbed of her second Oscar as the tortured Celeste. We're of differing opinions on Laura Linney's low-key Lady Macbeth, but eye to eye on the welcomed presence of Kevin Bacon and Laurence Fishburne, Smalls from The Sandlot, queen Jenny O'Hara, queen Eli Wallach, Clint Eastwood's beautiful score and who is truly the Hottest Scott.

Hey, listener! Ready to uncover why Jordan, the Scream Queen, delivers scathing movie reviews without needing to see the flicks? It's comedy Johnny here, and together we're peeling back the curtain on the enigma of film expectations and generational viewing habits. Picture this: 'The Crow' through a Gen X lens, 'Constantine 2' shrouded in mystery, and the potential resurrection of Captain Jack Sparrow. Our musings don't stop there, as we tackle the implications of AI's grip on our creative processes and society at large, drawing unnerving parallels to "Terminator 3."Ever laughed at the thought of Kevin Bacon being synonymous with river-themed films? Our staff picks section tosses you into the river with 'Mystic River' and 'The River Wild,' before catapulting you into the cosmos with Adam Sandler's 'Spaceman.' And for a spine-tingling treat, we dissect the quirky creature feature 'Splinter,' where we're both terrorized and entertained by its spiky antagonist. Oh, and let's not bypass our lively chat with Dollface about dragons and the Wishmaster series – because who doesn't want to spice up their day with a bit of dragon lore?But it's not all monsters and mayhem; we're also unboxing the emotional treasure chest that cinema provides. Films can be a cathartic release or a welcome distraction, and we're pondering over this personal impact on our listeners. And because we're all about the intrigue, we're tossing you the challenge of watching "the movie with the hand." So, come join the conversation, unravel the mysteries, and share more than a few belly laughs with us in an episode that's as much a jolt to the funny bone as it is an exploration of pop culture's wild world.Love movies?
