In this podcast we are tying into our Elaine May May conversations with a chat about a movie she co-wrote and for which she got an Oscar nomination too, namely Heaven Can Wait. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us try to figure out how and why this movie ended up as successful as it did, if it was a bellwether of the changing times suggesting that the world had had enough of the New Hollywood grime and whether it was a flash in the pan that couldn't have worked at any other point in time. We also try to find traces of Elaine May's DNA in the script, identify the influence of one Buck Henry and wonder if there were simple ways to make this body swap underdog sports rom-com Hitchcock murder plot movie a bit simpler and funnier.

Roger Corman (April 5, 1926 -May 9, 2024)—an iconic figure whose influence on Hollywood is nothing short of legendary—traversed the cinematic landscape from the late 1950's to the 1990's. Celebrated as the "Pope of Pop Cinema," the "Spiritual Godfather of the New Hollywood," and the "King of Cult," Corman was a pioneering force in independent filmmaking, forever reshaping the industry with his innovative spirit. Throughout his illustrious career, Corman collaborated with an impressive roster of emerging filmmakers, many of whom would go on to dominate the industry. Names such as Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, James Cameron, and Jonathan Demme began their journeys under his mentorship. It has often been remarked that Corman's guidance served as a vital training ground—what James Cameron famously referred to as the "Roger Corman Film School." His influence extended beyond mentorship; he was a catalyst for creativity and innovation. Nicolas Roeg served as the cinematographer for The Masque of the Red Death, while many of his protégés achieved Oscar success. Corman's reputation for fostering talent with a blend of encouragement and challenge left an indelible mark on cinema. As he famously advised, “If you do a good job on this film, you'll never have to work for me again,” exemplifying his role as both mentor and pioneer in the cinematic world. Join Azed and Tom as they explore the life and work of Roger Corman, a true maverick and inspiration for all aspiring filmmakers.
In this episode of the show we are beginning a whole new month with a brand new director. In May we will be talking about the entire filmography of Elaine May and are beginning with A New Leaf. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the many ways in which this movie is in conversation with the legacy of Hollywood, how it stands as an oddball against the backdrop of New Hollywood and how it subverts the canonical screwball comedy. We also talk about Elaine May's subtle yet incisive comedy, Walter Matthau in an oddly subverted role and how there might be a tinge of scathing commentary about the studio system embedded somewhere in this movie.Tune in and enjoy!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy BurrowsFeaturing: Hillary WhiteIntro: Infraction - CassetteOutro: Infraction - DaydreamHead over to uncutgemspodcast.com to find all of our archival episodes and more!Follow us on Twitter (@UncutGemsPod), IG (@UncutGemsPod) and Facebook (@UncutGemsPod)Buy us a coffee over at Ko-Fi.com (ko-fi.com/uncutgemspod)Subscribe to our Patreon!

PRESS REVIEW – Thursday, May 1: The Spanish papers continue to wonder what – or who – was responsible for the Great Blackout that plunged Spain and Portugal into darkness this week. Is renewable energy to blame? Also: US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr alarms medical experts over his plans to impose placebo testing of vaccines. Plus: Steven Spielberg reveals what he thinks is the greatest film of all time. There is lots of scrutiny around renewable energies after the shock nationwide power outage that hit Spain and Portugal earlier this week. Spanish daily La Vanguardia asks that very question on the front page of its website: Who is to Blame for the Great Blackout? Was it a photovoltaic plant that shut down, a French disconnection, a poorly designed IT system or overconfidence in the system's infallibility? We still don't know what caused the blackout, but many have been quick to blame renewable energy for the system's failure. But in the same edition, La Vanguardia interviews the head of an energy research group, Jose Luis Dominguez, who says that Spain needs to continue investing in renewable energy. He concedes, though, that the blackout highlights the need for adjustments in regulation and oversight of companies. And that the low inertia of solar and wind energy requires more investment and innovation in reacting to unforeseen circumstances. That's the message echoed in an article from Reuters entitled "Don't blame renewables for Spain's power outage". Instead, the news agency says, Monday's blackout should be a warning to governments that investment in power storage and grid upgrades are just as important as expanding renewable energy projects.The US department of health is planning to change the way vaccines are tested and critics say the move could undermine public trust in immunisation. The Washington Post reports that Robert F. Kennedy Jnr wants to impose placebo testing in all new vaccines, in which people receive either the vaccine or an inert substance like a saline shot. Placebo testing is commonplace for new pathogens but not for well-researched diseases like measles and polio. Medical experts say this could be unethical because the placebo group would not receive a known effective intervention to a potentially deadly disease. The Post says the health department wants to increase transparency. Since Kennedy Jnr's appointment as head of health, the US top vaccine regulator Peter Marks has resigned under pressure, while Kennedy Jnr has continued to express his scepticism around vaccines amid an ongoing deadly measles outbreak in the US.The investigative journalism nonprofit collective Forbidden Stories has released a new report detailing the shocking treatment of Ukrainians in a Russian prison. Forbidden Stories is a collective which aims to continue the investigative reporting of journalists who have been silenced. Their Victoriia Project is named for Ukrainian journalist Victoriia Roshchyna's efforts to document the war in Ukraine. On her fourth trip in 2023, however, she never came back. Earlier this year, what has been identified as her body was delivered to Ukraine. Forbidden Stories details the treatment of Ukrainian prisoners of wars and in some cases, civilians at the notorious Taganrog prison. This is where Victoriia ended up. The articles describes the prison as "synonymous with the most violent types of treatment imaginable, reminiscent of the worst Soviet gulags". According to former inmates, beatings, unimaginable torture and food deprivation were routine occurrences at the prison. They also faced punishment for speaking Ukrainian and some inmates ended up committing suicide as a result of the torture. In cinema news, Steven Spielberg has revealed what he thinks is the greatest film of all time. Screen Rant reports that the legendary director sys Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 film "The Godfather" was the greatest movie of all time. In fact, it was so good that it shook his confidence as a director and almost made him not want to become one, according to Spielberg. A few years later though, "Jaws" came out and Spielberg's career took off. He, like Coppola, is part of the New Hollywood group of directors who brought filmmaking into the modern era.Finally, a pair of tennis fans have got engaged in the stands before Alex de Minaur and Lorenzo Musetti's Round of 16 match in the Madrid Open. It brings a whole new meaning to "love game"!You can catch our press review every morning on France 24 at 7:20am and 9:20am (Paris time), from Monday to Friday.
Welcome to the first official episode of the What Are You Watching New Hollywood Film Project, where we examine films of the New Hollywood era, with a primary focus on 1970s classics. In this episode, Alex and Nick break down Bob Rafelson's “Five Easy Pieces.” The guys discuss Rafelson's career, BBS Productions, a struggling B-movie actor/writer/director named Jack Nicholson, Karen Black, The Monkees, chicken salad sandwiches, and one of the best endings in all of cinema.Follow @WAYW_Podcast on Twitter and Instagram and Letterboxd.Send mailbag questions to whatareyouwatchingpodcast@gmail.com
This series began with the story of a director who wrote his autobiography to secure his place in history after his career had gone down the drain. It ends with the story of a man who wrote his autobiography as a “dead man walking”...and then continued to make movies for another half a decade, until the literal last breath left his body. Hollywood's original “nepo baby” director, John Huston was never a conventional studio system stalwart, and in some respects he was able to go with the flow of changing times a lot better than some of his contemporaries. In part one of our two-part season finale we'll talk about his flight from Hollywood to Ireland, literally playing God, Huston's long fallow period in the late 60s, Anjelica Huston's misbegotten film debut, Huston's reinvention in the New Hollywood era and the health crisis that almost ended it all.

Sharon Tate's entanglement with Charles Manson and her husband, filmmaker Roman Polanski, as well as her involvement in some of the long-rumored hedonistic events at her home on Cielo Drive put her at the center of a counter-narrative that explosively disrupts the supposed motive for the Manson family murders. Was Sharon Tate blissfully ignorant of the darkness that had been bubbling beneath Hollywood's shiny veneer for years? Or is there more to this story than we've been told in the past? This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including sexual assault.

Pop open a can of spinach and set sail for the far-off year of 1980, when noted auteur Robert Altman had his crew build an entire functioning town so they could shoot a Popeye movie. This unassuming comic strip adaptation represents the collision of the New Hollywood movement and the old studio system, both in their waning days; neither would survive “Stalag Altman,” as star Robin Williams coined it. Paul and Arlo are delighted by the end result, an improvisational-seeming ensemble picture in the Altman vein that also features cartoon gags, characters bursting into songs penned by Harry Nilsson, and a giant octopus. The boys discuss why the movie is so much better than its reputation suggests, Robin Williams' and Shelly Duvall's underappreciated performances, the surprisingly moving throughline of fatherhood, and so much more. Plus, a whole bunch of trailers for Marvel's Thunderbolts*, the new season of animated sci-fi anthology Love Death + Robots, the animated Predator movie Killer of Killers, and Wes Anderson's The Phoenician Scheme; Paul stuns Arlo by singing the praises of the new Amazing Spider-Man #1; and Arlo is still reading old school Fantastic Four. NEXT: just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, it's another That Was Then, as Paul, Arlo, and Eric Sipple take a bite out of Steven Spielberg's Jaws on the eve of its 50th anniversary.

In der aktuellen Folge vom Filmmagazin widmen wir uns dem Paranoia-Thriller „Marathon Man“ von John Schlesinger aus dem Jahr 1976. Der Film mit Dustin Hoffman, Laurence Olivier und Roy Scheider gilt als Klassiker des New Hollywood und verbindet politische Verschwörung, NS-Vergangenheit und persönliche Traumata zu einem düsteren Katz-und-Maus-Spiel. Doch kann der Film auch heute noch begeistern? Wir diskutieren, warum die Story erst spät an Fahrt aufnimmt, wieso der Thriller trotz einiger Längen seine Wirkung entfaltet – und was die ikonische Zahnarzt-Folterszene mit dem Kinopublikum der 70er gemacht hat. Außerdem geht es um Misstrauen gegenüber staatlichen Institutionen, reale Bezüge zur McCarthy-Ära und die Frage, ob der Film seiner Zeit systemkritischer war, als es auf den ersten Blick scheint.
In this updated and revised edition, James DiEugenio dissects the new Oscar-nominated film, The Post, and how it disingenuously represents the Pentagon Papers saga, to the detriment of the true heroes of the operation. The story of the film stems from the failed attempt of Academy Award–winning actor Tom Hanks and producer Gary Goetzman to make Vincent Bugliosi's mammoth book about the Kennedy assassination, Reclaiming History, into a miniseries. He exposes the questionable origins of Reclaiming History in a dubious mock trial for cable television, in which Bugliosi played the role of an attorney prosecuting Lee Harvey Oswald for murder, and how this formed the basis for the epic tome.JFK: The Evidence Today lists the myriad problems with Bugliosi's book and explores the cooperation of the mainstream press in concealing many facts during the publicity campaign for the book and how this lack of scrutiny led Hanks and Goetzman—cofounders of the production company Playtone—to purchase the film rights. DiEugenio then shows how the failed film adapted from that book, entitled Parkland, does not resemble Bugliosi's book and examines why.This book reveals the connections between Washington and Hollywood, as well as the CIA influence in the film community today. It includes an extended look at the little-known aspects of the lives and careers of Bugliosi, Hanks, and Goetzman. JFK: The Evidence Today sheds light on the Kennedy assassination, New Hollywood, and political influence on media in America.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
Tis a sad fact that we all must face at some point - our Hollywood legends have begun to fall. It was easy to take the deaths of Cary Grant or Bing Crosby or Natalie Wood as we barely knew them as celebrities, only the movies they gave us to entertain us. But it is a sad fact that time is undefeated, and names like Hoffman, Eastwood, Pacino, Streep, Hanks, DeNiro, those celebrities we've watched in their primes and beyond, will become names of the past... thus, Gene Hackman has moved to that hallowed ground. With reverence and love, Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl take a look at the entire filmography of one Mr Hackman, and listing off their own personal favorite roles - all to come up with a definitive Top 10 of Gene's movies. Along the way, they try to define the generation of movie stars in the 70s and 80s (New Hollywood?), plus give quick reviews of new films "Novocaine" and "Black Bag".
For over 40 years, William Wyler was one of Hollywood's most dependable classicists, culminating in 1968 with the ultimate New Hollywood-era throwback to Old Hollywood, Funny Girl. Then, for his final film in 1970, Wyler uncharacteristically directed a searing indictment of contemporary race relations, called The Liberation of LB Jones.

Gabriele Pedullà"Il trascendente nel cinema"Paul SchraderMarietti1820www.mariettieditore.itLa domanda che sta all'origine di questo libro è molto semplice: in che modo è possibile (ammesso che lo sia) portare sullo schermo il completamente altro, il divino? A distanza di oltre mezzo secolo dalla sua prima pubblicazione, l'acclamato regista e sceneggiatore Paul Schrader rivisita e aggiorna la sua riflessione sul cinema lento degli ultimi cinquant'anni. L'analisi dello stile cinematografico di tre grandi registi – Yasujirō Ozu, Robert Bresson e Carl Dreyer – si arricchisce di un nuovo quadro teorico, offerto dal pensiero di Gilles Deleuze sul cinema e sulla fenomenologia della percezione attraverso il tempo, espandendo la teoria alle opere, tra gli altri, di Andrej Tarkovskij e Béla Tarr. Con una prosa chiara, l'autore insegna a lettori e spettatori a guardare con occhi nuovi alla cinematografia d'autore, in un'opera che - come sostiene Gabriele Pedullà - non è soltanto «un acuto studio critico» dei capolavori del passato, ma un vero e proprio «manifesto per un cinema diverso»: «un grande classico che continua a tracciare strade, aprire porte, scavare gallerie, costruire ponti che aiutano tutti a pensare più liberamente».Prefazione "Il trascendente nel cinema" a cura di Gabriele Pedullà.Paul Schrader (Grand Rapids - Michigan 1946), critico cinematografico, sceneggiatore di capolavori come Taxi Driver, Toro scatenato e L'ultima tentazione di Cristo, ha diretto film indimenticabili come American Gigolò e First Reformed. Ritenuto uno dei protagonisti della New Hollywood, nel 2022 ha ricevuto il Leone d'oro alla carriera. Il 16 gennaio 2025 è uscito nei cinema italiani il film da lui scritto e diretto Oh Canada - I tradimenti, con Uma Thurman e Richard Gere.Gabriele Pedullà (Roma 1972) insegna Letteratura italiana presso l'università di Roma Tre e scrive per «Il Sole 24 Ore». Autore di diversi libri di saggistica, tra cui il recente On Niccolò Machiavelli: The Bonds of Politics (Columbia University Press, 2023, in corso di traduzione per Einaudi), con Sergio Luzzatto ha curato l'Atlante della letteratura italiana (Einaudi 2010-12). Presso Einaudi ha inoltre pubblicato le raccolte di racconti Lo spagnolo senza sforzo (2009, Premio Mondello Opera Prima; Premio Verga; Premio Frontino), Biscotti della fortuna (2020, Premio Super Flaiano) e Certe sere Pablo (2024), e il romanzo Lame (2017, Premio Carlo Levi; Premio Martoglio).

CW: This episode contains spoilers and discussions of cinematic sexual violence. The film writer Jessica Ritchey returns to the show for a two-part series about two controversial films about a woman's complex sexuality, films that took a couple of decades to be rediscovered and better understood.In part one we discuss Richard Brooks' 1977 drama Looking for Mr. Goodbar starring Diane Keaton, based on the popular seventies bestseller by Judith Rossner, based on the true story of a New York City schoolteacher who was murdered by a man she picked up at a singles bar. Mr. Goodbar was a major hit for Paramount upon release, but a few weeks later it was overshadowed by another Paramount release with an even bigger cultural impact and hit soundtrack, Saturday Night Fever. Mr. Goodbar has been hard to see properly for decades due to its reputation as a misogynist, depressing film and the extremely expensive licensing costs for its disco soundtrack, until the end of 2024 when Vinegar Syndrome unexpectedly released a limited-edition restoration. Jessica and I dig into the thorny and complex issues this film presents about a woman's sexuality, partly due to Richard Brooks' determination to tell a more empathetic story than the more punishing tone of Rossner's novel (she was angered by the adaptation). Brooks may not have been the ideal person to make this film being two generations removed from the subject but nevertheless his film contains an interesting and useful critique of the patriarchy, using his understanding of New Hollywood techniques. Jessica and I also discuss the film's use of music, Diane Keaton's tremendous performance as Theresa Dunn, the depiction of all the terrible men in her life, and our responses to the shocking conclusion of the film. Part two of this discussion is exclusive to the Patreon feed: more about Mr. Goodbar, contrasted against a controversial 2003 film that could be seen as a feminist response to it, Jane Campion's In the Cut, and a 1982 TV movie about a woman in danger that echoes some of these themes, Hotline starring Lynda Carter.

In this episode we delve into one of the signature commercial and critical flops of New Hollywood: Dennis Hopper's The Last Movie. This gorgeous yet impenetrable film was a crucial turning point bridging the early hippie-influenced films of the late 60s with the more cynical and popular mainstream cinema that came to define the 1970s. We are joined by Stephen Lee Naish, author of two different books discussing this week's subject - Create or Die: Essays on the Films of Dennis Hopper, and Music and Sound in the Films of Dennis Hopper. So enjoy listening to someone actually qualified to talk about this stuff for a change! Topics include: American New Wave vs. New Hollywood, Jorge Luis Borges, and Charles Manson.

The New Hollywood era (also known as Hollywood Renaissance, American New Wave, or New American Cinema) was a period in film history from the mid 1960s to the early 1980s . Famous directors like Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg, and George Lucas were founding fathers of the movement, changing the face of cinema forever. Star Wars came out in 1977, and in this episode we discuss how the epic space opera full of lightsabers and magic (aka the Force) did and didn't fit into this gritty era in cinema history.

In the 1960s, many American directors saw their fortunes turn after they notched massive hits. In the case of Howard Hawks – a director who had thrived in virtually every Hollywood genre since the late silent era– the undisputed masterpiece of Rio Bravo gave way to four poorly-received efforts, each of which bared the marks of a dying studio system, if they weren't compromised by the literal dying off of the previous generation of stars. In the middle of this run, Hawks made Red Line 7000, a car racing drama which was at once familiar and personal to Hawks, and also totally foreign in that it was a movie set in the 1960s, infused with ‘60s sexual politics, and built around future New Hollywood star James Caan.

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision-making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 82 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by AwardsWatch contributor Cody Dericks to discuss the final film in their Mike Nichols series, The Graduate (1967). Just a year after his impressive, celebrated debut film, Mike Nichols returned with one of the most important American films of all time; an era defining feature film that is still as vital, thorny, and thematically rich as it was in the late 1960s. The Graduate was a signature film that ushered in what would become the “New Hollywood,” and showcased a generational anxiety of growing up and growing beyond the ease of one's college life, and the refusal to want to accept your place in the world. It also is a hilarious comedy featuring sexy, memorable performances anchored by the most confident, boundary-pushing directorial work from Nichols in his career. Simply put, it is a masterpiece. Ryan, Jay, and Cody break down their thoughts on the film, Nichol's camera work, their favorite moments of hilarity, the iconic soundtrack, the film's remarkable ending, the films of 1967, the relationship dynamics found in the film and share where they were at in their life post their time in school. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 1h52m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Mike Nichols with a review of his next film, Carnal Knowledge. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it. Music: MUSICALIFE, from Pond5 (intro) and “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

Merry Christmas! Here's your gift! Sorry it's a bit late but we never officially said we would be exchanging gifts in the first place so... anyway here it is! This episode is a break from our usual format. Absolutely zero New Hollywood or 70s film content to be found under this tree. Instead, Alana wanted to take some time out to do a treatise on Hallmark and streaming-era Christmas rom-com films. Luckily we had the perfect guest available: Ameerah Holliday, whose breadth of knowledge and level of thought given to the subject of Christmas movies far exceeds the usual drivel we spew on this show. Enjoy! Topics include: the role of magic in Christmas, nostalgia as it relates to casting, and taking your family to see Terrifier 3
In this inaugural show of our brand new 50-30 series where we will be talking about great movies turning 50 and 30 this year we are getting together for a chat about Hal Ashby's Shampoo. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how we thought this movie fits in the 1975 landscape, what it was that elevated it to the status of the third-biggest box office success of its year and whether it may have been a little bit too late to the New Hollywood party. We also spend some time looking for a meaning in this film, try to connect its themes to the conversation about the generational clash at the time of its release and also wonder if there is a plane of symmetry with the current era. On top of that, we do scratch our heads quite a bit wondering if we find Shampoo funny at all too.

John Schlesinger's Sunday Bloody Sunday (1971) is a deeply personal work, presaging New Hollywood while making something neither New Hollywood or the British New Wave would dare. We meet a middle-aged doctor, Daniel, and a 30 something divorced woman, Alex, who are both dating Bob, a young artist who makes them both feel alive even if he's a self-centered jerk most of the time. Like the average non-Lubitsch film about polyamory, this relationship is obviously doomed, but the exploration of Daniel and Alex's emotional journey in their final week with Bob is exquisite. Plus, we get to meet some of the most wonderfully precocious we've ever seen in a Criterion picture.

In our new series we invite a different guest for each episode to choose a 1974 movie to talk about, ranging from giant blockbusters to minor cult curios and everything else in between. The early 70's was a particularly transitional period for Japanese cinema in which major stars and directors found themselves shut out by the studios while the "Pinku eiga" era, in which celluloid sex and violence ran rampant, was on the rise. Surviving this shift in the landscape, director Yoshitaro Nomura, leading man Tetsuro Tamba and legendary screenwriter Shinobu Hashimoto collaborated on the police procedural The Castle of Sand. On the other end of the spectrum was audacious auteur Masaru Konuma and his muse Naomi Tani who in 1974 teamed up for two movies including the BDSM melodrama Wife to Be Sacrificed, featuring "perhaps the most beautifully photographed flogging scene ever." Join us for this bizarre double feature programmed by Daniel Castro, writer and co-founder of the Colombian online film criticism portal Filmigrana, in which we discuss the state of Japanese cinema in the 70's, the pushing of boundaries versus the tugging of the heart, and the thin line between art and pornography.

Yes, The Animation Guild has a new contract. But not everyone is happy. Why not? The protections against AI and outsourcing are all but non-existent. Most of the discussion around the contract isn't really showering the union with glowing praise. The Animation Guild (TAG), IATSE Local 839, has ratified a new three-year contract covering film and TV animation studios, with 76.1% of members voting in favor. The agreement includes wage increases, enhanced health and pension contributions, improved working conditions, and specific gains for writers and storyboard artists. However, not everyone is pleased, as some members expressed concerns over the contract's limited protections against generative AI, which currently only require written notifications and consultations for alternative tools. While TAG leaders have called the deal a step forward, the lack of robust AI safeguards remains a sticking point for many in an industry increasingly grappling with technological change. The animation union contract, despite 76% ratification, fails to address AI outsourcing and staffing minimums for freelance artists, leaving them vulnerable to replacement. Netflix is already co-producing shows with studios in Japan and Korea, signaling a shift away from California-based animation production. The new contract allows studios to hand AI-generated scripts to board artists without additional compensation, potentially replacing human writers. The industry is experiencing a "double-edged sword" effect, with employed animators receiving better pay and conditions while many others face layoffs or outsourcing. The animation union's AI committee is attempting to enforce existing protections and organize studios across the US and beyond, but critics argue it's insufficient. A large percentage of animation workers feel "desperate and resentful" towards the union due to perceived lack of protection against AI outsourcing. California animators are dissatisfied with their new union contract for not adequately addressing concerns about AI exploitation, job security, and support for lower-tier workers. 00:00 California animators are unhappy with their new union contract for failing to provide sufficient protections against AI exploitation. 02:48 California animators fear job losses from AI advancements and reduced demand from major platforms, creating a tough industry environment. 05:13 California animators are unhappy with the new Hollywood union contract due to inadequate AI protections and a disconnect between the negotiating committee and the membership. 08:41 California animators are unhappy with the new Hollywood union contract for failing to adequately address AI's impact on their work and compensation. 10:44 California animators are unhappy with the new Hollywood union contract, citing job insecurity, outdated models, and insufficient support for original content amid rising concerns over AI and declining traditional studio jobs. 14:23 California animators are unhappy with the new Hollywood union contract, feeling it neglects their concerns despite a 76% ratification vote. 16:15 California animators are frustrated with the new union contract for failing to address AI, outsourcing, and job security, fueling fears for the industry's future. 18:56 California animators are unhappy with the new Hollywood union contract, as it mainly favors higher-level artists while neglecting job security and protections for lower-tier workers.

Merry Clambake! The entire TCBCast gang is joined by Rabia and Felix from Suddenly: A Frank Sinatra Podcast, Jamie and John from EAP Society, Kristen, Benita and Margarita from Those Elvis Girls, David "Ghosty" Wills from We Say Yeah: A Cliff Richard Podcast, Garrett Cash from "The Beat! With Garrett Cash", and Darin Evans, all in a manner never quite heard before - a non-linear episode intercut across four different discussions! The TCBCast Gang tackles the movie head on, giving Gurdip, Ryan and Bec (who missed most of the last two Christmases) the chance to voice all their questions about what makes this low-rated Elvis movie so eminently watchable... and also confusing. Meanwhile, Olivia brings her own deep dives. Oh, and most of them are drinking. The Suddenly Crew took an experimental approach this year, watching the film "Bake to Front," starting their viewing at the halfway point of the film and working their way back around to the infamous "Clambake" musical sequence as an unintended finale. Those Elvis Girls discuss what makes Elvis' films fun to watch, what it's like to view his film career while being relatively new to the fandom, and call for #JusticeForClambake! And a gathering of film buffs get together to explore the year 1967 in film: what the big hits and notable releases were, and how Elvis' film career slots into the overall picture between the fading old Hollywood studio system and the more experimental and independent New Hollywood. Most fun of all, there's an exploration of some of the movies that Elvis Presley himself is known to have watched in 1967. There's a few surprises in store throughout as well! As of this episode's release date, "Clambake" can be watched freely (with ads) on TubiTV and Pluto TV in the United States and may be available on a streaming platform in your region as well. The "Clambake" soundtrack is on all major music platforms.

In our new series we invite a different guest for each episode to choose a 1974 movie to talk about, ranging from giant blockbusters to minor cult curios and everything else in between. We start winding down the series with a great companion piece to our past episodes on "wilderness adventure" classics Dersu Uzala and Quest for Fire. Filmmaker Jeremy Workman returns to discuss Philip Kaufman's The White Dawn, the story of three whalers who become stranded in the Northern Arctic and end up integrating with an Inuit tribe. There's a lot to talk about, from Kaufman's status as possibly the most underrated of 70's directors to Michael Chapman's naturalistic photography, the film's inspired use of diegetic music, authentic regional language and frozen landscapes, and how this movie is definitely not Louis Malle's Black Moon.

Richard Walter is making his second appearance on StoryBeat. Richard is an author of best-selling fiction and nonfiction, a celebrated storytelling educator, screenwriter, script consultant, lecturer and retired professor who led the legendary screenwriting program in UCLA's highly regarded film school for several decades. He's written scripts for the major studios and TV networks; lectured on screenwriting and storytelling, and conducted master classes throughout North America, as well as in London, Paris, Jerusalem, Madrid, Rio, Mexico City, Beijing, Shanghai, Sydney and Hong Kong. His latest novel,Deadpan, follows the misadventures of a vaguely antisemitic West Virginia Buick dealer who wakes up one day transformed into the world's most popular Jewish comedian. I've read Deadpan and can tell you it is an exceptionally funny ride with very serious overtones. This is one of the most imaginative time and character-slipping stories I've read since Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five.Richard's other books include the novels Escape From Film School and Barry and the Persuasions. His non-fiction titles include: The Whole Picture: Strategies for Screenwriting Success in the New Hollywood; Screenwriting--The Art, Craft and Business of Film and Television Writing; and Essentials of Screenwriting. His books have been translated into eight languages.In the interest of full disclosure, I'm proud to say that I was fortunate to have been one of Richard's students while I was attending UCLA's Graduate Screenwriting program.

EPISODE 61 - “FAVORITE CLASSIC FILMS OF THE 1960s” - 11/11/2024 The decade of the 1960s was an exciting time in filmmaking. The stodgy studio contract system was starting to give way to a new crop of independent cinematic auteurs, often associated with the "New Hollywood" era, include: Stanley Kubrick, Robert Altman, Sam Peckinpah, Arthur Penn, John Cassavetes, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, and Peter Bogdanovich.
