Hey, True Drews!On today's episode, we discuss book #59 The Secret in the Old Lace!Nancy heads off to Belgium (Where *hasn't* that girl traveled to?!) to investigate the disappearance of a man centuries ago named Francois Lefavre and find some mysterious lace cuffs he used to wear.There's a ghostly figure, secret passages, messages in lace and so much more!

Today on another encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Gary Hall, son of comedian Huntz Hall. If you are a fan of The Bowery Boys or The Dead End Kids, you absolutely know Huntz by his trademark hat and his verbal and physical comedy. Along with his pal Leo Gorcey, Hall made countless films together – there were 48 alone for The Bowery Boys – and even appeared together on Broadway which kicked things off in 1935. They were so indelibly linked together that The Beatles wanted to put them both on the cover of their Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band but only one of them is on there. Hear why on this episode! We also talk to Gary about his often strained if loving relationship with his father who was often at work and play so much there wasn't much of a bond between father and son. We discuss much of his film career including later films like The Phynx, Won Ton Ton: The Dog Who Saved Hollywood andValentino. We also discuss how Huntz and host Josh Mills' mother, actress Edie Adams starred in a production in the late 80s of the classic Arsenic and Old Lace along with Dody Goodman, Jonathan Frid and James Mac Arthur. Whoa, that a trip that would have been! Moreover, we get a dose of classic Hollywood upbringing when we discuss Gary's involvement with the school administration of The Oakwood School, which Josh attended and many of our podcast guests have come from. This is the Rarified Podcast. Everyone has a story.

The complete audiobook is available for purchase at Audible.com: https://www.audible.com/pd/Lavender-and-Old-Lace-Audiobook/B0DM9P2TC6 Lavender and Old Lace By Myrtle Reed Narrated by Martha H. Weller In Lavender and Old Lace, we are presented with a poignant and humorous tale of four romances along with dashes of mystery and even a touch of the supernatural. Ruth Thorne, a newspaper reporter in the city, comes to stay in the home of Jane Hathaway, an aunt whom she has never met. Aunt Jane is on a trip abroad but instructs Ruth via a letter to place a lantern in the attic window each night. No one knows why. A fellow reporter, Carl Winfield, is suffering from eye problems and has been sent to the same small town. Ruth and Carl are thrown together through a recommendation from Ruth's boss and a gentle then passionate courtship ensues. In comic parallel, the maid Hepsey and the town carriage driver Joe pursue their own romance. Meanwhile, Aunt Jane is briefly missing from the organized trip abroad and when she abruptly returns to her home—well, that's a revelation and another romance! Hepsey provides a clue to the mysteries by mentioning Aunt Jane's friendship with Miss Ainslie, a woman much beloved by the villagers and yet considered somewhat crazy. Her story and lost love holds the key to understanding everything!

As #crimechatwithnatandkat continues their Female Serial Killer Series this season, here is your #teaser for this week covering two new femme fatales, in BONUS Episode 106: Female Serial Killers -- Irina Gaidamachuk “Satan in a Skirt” & Amy Archer-Gilligan “Arsenic and the Old Lace”!First, Nat takes us to Oblast, Russia, to reveal a monster lurking behind the eyes of one of its own, Irina Gaidamachuk. From 2002 to 2010, Gaidamachuk unleashed a wave of terror, brutally murdering 17 elderly women in their own homes while evading the law. This is the unsettling tale of how an ordinary facade hid a monstrous darkness, leaving a trail of fear and death in its wake. Then, Kat covers the true crime story that inspired the 1944 Cary Grant movie "Arsenic an the Old Lace." Amy Archer-Gilligan, a convicted murderer who had run a boarding house for the elderly. Sixty-six people died at that house between 1907 and 1916. When investigators exhumed five of the bodies—including her second husband's—autopsies revealed they had been poisoned with arsenic or strychnine.A #sneakpeek on these two cases airs #Saturday August 31, 2024, anywhere you get your favorite #podcasts! #googlepodcasts #amazonpodcasts #applepodcasts #youtubepodcasts #patreon #rss #spotifypodcastsBONUS episodes are ONLY available in FULL to our #VIPChatters who are subscribed #patreon.

The 1944 Cary Grant classic Arsenic and Old Lace is portrayed as a comedy involving two elderly women who poison inhabitants of their New York home. In fact, the story is based on the real-life drama that unfolded in the early 1900s in one of CT's first nursing homes, located in Windsor. We'll hear the extraordinary story of one of the state's first serial killings from two representatives of the Windsor Historical Society” Michelle Tom (Library Archivist and Assistant Director) and Steph MacGillivary (Museum Educator).

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues   Edna O'Brien (1930-2024) ​​​​​The great Irish novelist and playwright Edna O'Brien died at the age of 93 on July 27, 2024 after a long illness. A controversial figure from the start, her first novel from 1960, The Country Girls, which dealt with sexual and social issues in Ireland following World War II, was banned in Ireland and denounced on the pulpit, and while she moved to London with her husband before publication, she never moved back to her native land. This interview was conducted in the KPFA studios on April 28, 2000 while she was on tour for her novel, “Wild Decembers,” third in a thematic trilogy of novels set in the recent past in Ireland. It was later adapted for television in 2008.. Of Edna O'Brien, from Wikipedia, the novelist Andrew O'Hagan wrote, “She changed the nature of Irish fiction, she brought the woman's experience and sex and internal lives of those people on to the page, and she did it with style, and she made those concerns international.” In her lifetime, Edna O'Brien wrote seventeen novels, several plays, eight short story collections, eight works of non-fiction, four children's books and a collection of poems. Edna O'Brien continued to write novels and plays well into her nineties. Her final novel, Girl, was published in 2019. This interview was digitized, remastered and edited in August 2024 and is heard for the first time in its entirety. A second interview, recorded in 2003 while in San Francisco working on her play “Triptych” at the Magic Theatre will be posted on a later date.     John Sayles discusses his latest novel, “Jamie MacGillivray, The Renegade's Journey,” along with his work as a writer and film-maker, with host Richard Wolinsky. Second of two parts. John Sayles is best known for his work as a director, screenwriter and actor, though this is his sixth novel. Among the films he directed are Lone Star, Sunshine State, Eight Men Out, Matewan, The Brother from Another Planet, Baby It's You and Passion Fish. His acting credits include small roles in several films, and he wrote the screenplay for the films he directed.

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues   John Barth (1930-2024), who died on April 2, 2024 at the age of 93, was America's leading writer of metafictional and post-modern fiction. This interview was conducted by Richard Wolinsky and Richard A. Lupoff on November 12, 2001 in the KPFA studios, while on the book tour for the novel Coming Soon. John Barth began to receive notice for his two earliest novels, The Floating Opera and End of the Road in the late 1950s, but burst on the scene with his epic comic novel about colonial life in Maryland, The Sot-Weed Factor, and his allegory of the Cold War, set on a university campus, Giles Goat-Boy. His short story collection, Lost in the Funhouse and novella collection Chimera cemented his reputation as a writer of meta-fiction, as the stories zoom back on themselves and on the writing of those stories. From Wikipedia: “In his epistolary novel LETTERS (1979), Barth corresponds with characters from his other books. Later novels such as The Tidewater Tales (1987) and The Last Voyage of Somebody the Sailor (1991) continue in the metafictional vein, using writers as protagonists who interact with their own and other stories in elaborate ways. His 1994 Once Upon a Time: A Floating Opera casts Barth himself as the protagonist who on a sailing trip encounters characters and situations from previous works.” After the 2001 interview, he continued to work in the same vein with a triptych of novellas, Where Three Roads Meet in 2005, interrelated short stories set in a retirement community, The Development: Nine Stories in 2008, and Every Third Thought: A Novel in Five Seasons in 2011. A, book of collected stories was released in 2015 and Postscripts (or Just Desserts): Some Final Scribbling came out in 2022. This interview was both the last interview conducted with Richard Lupoff as co-host, and the final interview recorded and edited on analog tape. This program was digitized and edited in July 2024 by Richard Wolinsky, and is heard in full for the first time.   Lorrie Moore is a celebrated short story writer and novelist.

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues   Lisa See, whose latest novel is “Lady Tan's Circle of Women,” now out in trade paperback, is interviewed by host Richard Wolinsky. Recorded  on July 14, 2023. Lisa See's best-selling books include Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, Peony in Love, China Dolls, and most recently, The Island of Sea Women. Each novel, thus far, focuses on the role and lives of women of East Asian descent in various countries, including Korea, Japan, China and the United States. Some of the novels focus on a mystery, others take place within the context of historical events. Her latest novel, “Lady Tan's Circle of Women” looks at the life of an historical figure, a female doctor of upper class birth living in China in the 15th Century. As Lisa notes in the interview, the circumscribed life of Tan Yuxian bears a startling resemblance to the isolation we all felt during the Covid lockdown.

​Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues    Nancy MacLean, author of “Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right's Stealth Plan for America” in conversation with Richard Wolinsky, recorded in the KPFA studios, October 20, 2017.. Nancy MacLean's 2017 book, “Democracy in Chains,” deals with the long game of the Koch brothers and their ilk, which may now have finally come to fruition with the Supreme Court legalizing bribery as “gratuities,” the overthrow of administrative protections in the areas of safety and the environment, and legalizing crimes by the President. The idea was to create a constitutional convention, which would codify laws in such a way that progressive regimes would be unable to move their programs forward, thanks to the courts, and based on how the Pinochet regime was able to control Chile after giving up power. That convention idea didn't work in this country, but thanks to Mitch McConnell and his refusal to bring Obama nominees to a vote, followed by the Trump Administration's packing of all the courts, the Koch plan wound up working anyway. In this interview, Nancy MacLean goes back to the origins of the plan, and brings us forward. Duke University Professor Nancy MacLean, in researching the life of libertarian professor James Buchanan, discovered the philosophical underpinnings of what Hillary Clinton (almost unknowingly) called the “vast right-wing conspiracy.” Funded by Charles Koch and other donors, they've taken over the GOP and have an agenda, she says, that ultimately will allow minority rule in the United States for the forseeable future. In this interview, she discusses the role of Buchanan and the Mont Pelerin Society in the underpinnings of this gradual take-over of the state and federal government, and what the goals are, according to her research.

Book Vs. Movie: Arsenic and Old LaceThe 1941 Play vs. The 1944 Movie "Arsenic and Old Lace" is a classic American play by Joseph Kesselring. It's a dark comedy about the Brewster family, particularly two elderly sisters, Abby and Martha Brewster, who have a penchant for charity and kindness. However, their generosity takes a macabre turn when it's revealed that they've been poisoning lonely old men with arsenic-laced elderberry wine as an act of "charity."The play is filled with absurd situations, mistaken identities, and dark humor as other members of the Brewster family become entangled in the sisters' activities.Mortimer Brewster, a theater critic, and the sisters' nephew, discovers their secret and tries to cover it up while dealing with his crises."Arsenic and Old Lace" has been adapted into various forms over the years, including a popular film adaptation directed by Frank Capra in 1944, starring Cary Grant as Mortimer Brewster. It remains a beloved classic of American theater known for its witty dialogue and darkly humorous storyline.Which did we (the Margos) prefer? Have a listen to find out. In this ep, the Margos discuss:The popularity of the play The biggest differences between the play and the movie.The 1944 film's cast includes Cary Grant (Mortimer Brewster), Priscilla Lane (Elaine Brewster), Josephine Hull (Aunt Abby Brewster), Jean Adair (Aunt Martha Brewster), Raymond Massey (Jonathan Brewster), Peter Lorre (Dr. Herman Einstein), John Alexander (“Teddy Roosevelt”), Jack Carson (Officer O'Hara), and John Ridgley as Officer Sanders. Clips used:“Gentleman in the Window”Arsenic and Old Lace (1944 trailer)“Elderberry Wine”“He looks like Boris Karloff!”“Elderberry Wine”Music by Max Steiner Book Vs.

Stuck in a Suit of Armour followed by Arsenic and Old Lace.

For this discussion, I bring in Darin and Jonny from NostalgiaCast to discuss some classic films they were introduced to as kids, and which gives them that hit of nostalgia, as a result. We begin with Jonny's choice of "The Sting", and continue with Darin's selection of "The Sound of Music" before concluding with my choice of "Arsenic and Old Lace". I hope you enjoy!

Hey, guess what. The Runaways are back! And it is Super Bowl Sunday! Let's see what happens when I try to explain this comic book and what we talk about with just references to Super Bowls Greatest moments. First, let's talk about the Apple in the room. That's right, the giant sentinel helping to guard the Avengers compound from riff-raff like that Runaways. Not unlike a sledgehammer wielding woman, breaking down the barriers....or wait...Are the Runaways the ones with the hammer? Not unlike Harry Carson drenching Bill Parcells with a bucket of Gatorade has there been another time when a Giant has poured cold water on a fellow Giant. Yet, Hank stops the Sentinel from killing kids....what is this world coming to. How about the kitten bowl. No not the halftime entertainment to elicit adorations from your children, I am talking about a kitten in a bowl...like Tigra's son. She uses this child to distract the defense. Flag on the play. The hate that Hazmat and Nico have upon their first meeting is not unlike that of the Cowboys and Steelers from Super Bowl X. Sure there is respect, but there is hate....a lot of hate. Super Bowl 56 was the Bengals vs the Rams....and they hyped this by playing Welcome to the Jungle. And during this comic, the kids went to a jungle. What do you want from me. It is the best I could do.  Never has a tackle like the one Old Lace gave Chase been so powerful. Well maybe when Kevin Dyson was Tackled by Mike Jones on a yard away from the goal line to cause the Titans to lose. That one hurt more. And speaking of dinosaurs, do you remember that time when a big red dinosaur crashed the Super Bowl. Neither did I, because it did not happen yet. But it will. I just need to get this magic amulet to open, and then you will all rue the day. Boy that was sure fun, and not at all a last minute scramble as I tried to get this done. GO SPORTS!

EPISODE 18 - “Character Actors (male)” - 01/015/2024 Films of Hollywood's Golden Era are often brightened and made all-the-better by the fantastic character actors who show up playing fathers, grandfathers, bankers, farmers, chefs, clerks, bosses, and neighbors. The moment you hear the distinctive voice of WALTER BRENNAN, not only do you know it's him, you know the film will have at least one interesting element. Last week we paid tribute to the ladies, this week we are giving the wonderful male character actors their due. Join us as we discuss their distinctive lives and careers.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: The “It's A Wonderful Life” Book (1986), by Jeanine Basinger and Leonard Maltin Disney Voice Actors: A Biographical Dictionary (2011), by Thomas S.

This is film club: discussing October's pick, Arsenic and Old Lace.

Welp, that's a wrap on Titan Up the Defense! For our final episode, we take a look at Teen Titan Spotlight #21, featuring the original Teen Titan lineup. We talk about Woodstock, the 60's vs the 80's, Arsenic and Old Lace, and probably a bunch of other stuff that I don't remember. Thanks so much for listening, everybody! We love you. Enjoy! Enjoy!

James, Maddy, and Eric give Arsenic and Old Lace the Cinemagogue method. They cover murder as a "charity", the sanctifying influence of marriage, and how your earthly parentage is overcome by Christ's supernatural parentage. Join them as they host an episode that has been 2 years in the making. — We've got new merchandise! Check it out at the merch store.

Marlon and Jake are back! And they're catching up on the dead authors they've read since they last spoke—some of which they praise, others they don't. From comparing Nella Larson's Passing to the Netflix film, to discussing unsettling stories that linger with you, they cover a lot of literary ground. They also weigh in on longstanding debates like whether they read the book or watch the movie adaption first and the difference between horror and terror. Tune in for the witty book banter you know and love. Subscribe to our River-herd newsletter for  sneak peeks of our upcoming books, free giveaways, and exclusive content. https://sites.prh.com/riverhead-reader-newsletterThe Letters of Thom Gunn by Thom GunnPassing by Nella Larsen A View From a Hill by Montague Roads JamesThe Turn of The Screw by Henry JamesFrankenstein by Mary Shelly The Birds by Daphne Du MaurierRebecca by Daphne Du MaurierThe Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris The Exorcist by William Peter BlattyJesus's Son by Denis JohnsonAirships by Barry Hannah Lost Illusions by Honore de BalzacMadam Bovary by Gustave Flaubert The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas Savage Detectives by Roberto BolanoHell House by Richard MathesonThe Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson Arsenic and Old Lace by Joseph Kesselring
