Oliver Stone's Film-Flam: The Demagogue of Dealey Plaza is Fred Litwin's fourth book. In 2020, he published On the Trail of Delusion—Jim Garrison: The Great Accuser, which chronicled Garrison's persecution of Clay Shaw. In 2018, he published I Was a Teenage JFK Conspiracy Freak, detailing his journey from believing in a JFK conspiracy at eighteen to slowly moving to believe that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin. In 2015, he released Conservative Confidential about his move from left-wing anti- nuclear activist to Conservative Party campaigner. Fred joins TCT today to talk about why The JFK Conspiracy shouldn't be taken seriously, based on the evidence alone. Why Oliver Stone is reaching and has made a SECOND attempt to drum up theories about the death of JFK for personal gain and profit. How Oliver Stone's theories have damaged and destroyed lives and how he uses unreliable sources. and, how if you study the documentation from the Warren Commission and it's players. it will unfold all the truths behind the assassination...

This is the third installment in a short series about conspiracy theories and the role they play in revisionist history. Today's episode examines the film "JFK" by Oliver Stone, perhaps the worst case of revisionist history ever seen on film. And if all you know about the Kennedy assassination comes from this movie, prepare to be surprised. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/revisionisthistory/support
Stanley Lloyd Kaufman never really wanted to make movies, but wanted to work in Broadway musicals. During his years in Yale, though, he got introduced to "B" pictures and the works of Roger Corman. Lloyd later got the opportunity to executive-produce a short movie made by a fellow student. The film, called "Rappacini", got him even more interested in movies. He bought his own camera and took it with him to Chad, Africa, were he spent his summer. There, he shot a 15-minute film of a pig being slaughtered. That was his first movie, and was the birth of what was later to become known as Troma Films. He showed the footage of the squealing pig being killed to his family, and their shocked reaction to it made him wonder if making movies that shocked audiences would keep them in their seats to see what would happen next.He wanted to be a director right then and there, so he got a couple of friends at Yale and made his second movie, The Girl Who Returned (1969). People loved it, and he went straight to work on other films, helping out on projects like Joe (1970), Rocky (1976) and Saturday Night Fever (1977).Lloyd put in a lot of long, hard hours in the film business, just to be in the credits and to get money for his next project, a full-length feature. It was a tribute to Charles Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and the classic era of silent-film comedy. Even though Lloyd hated the movie when it was finally completed, people seemed to love it. He formed a studio called 15th Street Films with friends and producers Frank Vitale and Oliver Stone. Together, they made Sugar Cookies (1973) and Cry Uncle (1971), directed by John G. Avildsen. A friend from Yale, Michael Herz, saw Lloyd in a small scene in "Cry Uncle" and contacted him to try to get into the film business, too. Kaufman took Herz in, as the company needed some help after Oliver Stone quit to make his own movies. Michael invested in a film they thought would be their biggest hit yet, Schwartz: The Brave Detective (1973) (aka "Big Gus, What's the Fuss?"). It turned out to be a huge flop and 15th Street Films was ruined. Lloyd and Michael owed thousands of dollars to producers and friends and family members who had invested in the picture.Lloyd, trying to find a quick way to pay off the bills, made The Divine Obsession (1976), and with Michael formed Troma Studios, hoping to make some decent movies, since they only owned the rights to films they thought were poor. They were introduced to Joel M. Reed, who had an unfinished movie called "Master Sardu and the Horror Trio". The film was re-edited and completed at Troma Studios (which actually consisted of just one room) during 1975, re-titled and released in 1976 as Blood Sucking Freaks (1976) (aka "Bloodsucking Freaks"). It was enough of a success to enable them to pay the rent so they wouldn't lose the company.[presto_player id=154943]Lloyd later got a call from a theater that wanted a "sexy movie" like The Divine Obsession (1976), but about softball (!). The resulting film, Squeeze Play (1979), used up all the money Troma had earned from "Bloodsucking Freaks" and, as it turned out, no one wanted to see it--not even the theater owner who wanted it made in the first place (he actually wanted a porno movie). Just when things looked their darkest, they got a call from another theater which was scheduled to show a film, but the distributor pulled it at the last minute.Troma rushed "Squeeze Play" right over, and it turned out to be a huge hit. Lloyd, Michael and Troma eventually made millions from it, and had enough money to buy their own building (which still remains as Troma Headquarters). Troma then turned out a stream of "sexy" comedies--i.e., Waitress! (1982), The First Turn-On!! (1983), Stuck on You! (1983)--but there was a glut of "T&A" films on the market. Troma noticed that a lot of comedies were being made, and decided to make one, too, but much different than the rest. After reading an article that claimed horror movies were dead, Lloyd got the idea to combine both horror and comedy, and Troma came up with "Health Club Horror"--later retitled and released as The Toxic Avenger (1984), a monster hit that finally put Troma on the map.Lloyd Kaufman and Troma have become icons in the cult-movie world, and Troma has distributed over 1000 films. Lloyd has continued his career as a director in addition to producing, and Troma has turned out such films as Monster in the Closet (1986), Class of Nuke 'Em High (1986), Combat Shock (1984), Troma's War (1988), and Fortress of Amerikkka (1989), and Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead (2006), which follows an army of undead chickens as they seek revenge on a fast food palace.

Director and co-writer Oliver Stone (“Wall Street,” “JFK,” “W”) and co-writer Joshua S. Goldstein (Professor Emeritus of International Relations, American University) join Chris to discuss “Nuclear Now,” their film investigating whether nuclear power is a crucial tool in fighting climate change and the world's energy needs. In a wide-ranging conversation, the three explore how and why nuclear energy fell out of favor in the United States, the pervasiveness of anti-nuclear propaganda campaigns, why people who understand nuclear power the most are the least afraid of the technology, nuclear misconceptions surrounding disasters, waste storage, and water consumption, how the international community continues to embrace nuclear power, and much more.

Today, The Two Mikes hosted James DiEugenio who, for the past 30 years, has been researching the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King. On his first visit with us we discussed the assassination of JFK. Mr. Di Eugenio explained that there is still a good deal to question about who in the U.S. government is in control of declassifying documents. It is always reported that the president has the ultimate right to declassify whatever he decides ought to be made public. During President Trump's administration, after promising to release all of the remaining classified JFK documents, however, Trump stepped back from a complete release at the last minute. Why? Mr. Di Eugenio says that, based on his research of assassinations, the FBI and the CIA probably suddenly arrived at his office and claimed that to release the documents would be to knowingly endanger national security, the lives of Americans, or both. Being ultimately responsible for protecting the country and its people it is not surprising that Trump stood down. This is a scenario that would be familiar to most presidents since 1945. In terms of the JFK assassinations, Mr. Di Eugenio said his research had produced a number of intriguing facts: --1.) The authorities gave the name of the man who took the photographs at JFK's autopsy in Dallas as John Stringer. When Mr. Stringer was latter shown the pictures and asked if he had taken them, he said no. The photographs were not taken by Mr. Stringer, and, as well, were taken from a camera model that he did not own. --2.) In the summer of 1963 the CIA was running a group of Cuban exiles called "Fairplay for Cuba." At that point in time the CIA's chapter in New Orleans had only one member -- Lee Harvey Oswald. --3.) CIA says that Oswald went to Mexico in late September/early October 1963 to visit the Cuban embassy. Mr. Di Eugenio said that his research shows that the CIA had two plants working inside the embassy and both later told their handlers that Oswald had never entered the embassy. The foregoing is just a snippet of the interesting information that was related by Mr. Di Eugenio, whom we hope pays us another visit and tells us more. --Mr. Di Eugenio's book, written with Oliver Stone, is called JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass (Skyhorse, 2022). The book is available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and many other booksellers.

Ian and Cole are a little late with the latest "Late Screening", but they come roaring back with a 40th anniversary review of Brian De Palma's Scarface!This 1983 (loose) remake of Howard Hawks and Richard Rosson's 1932 gangster film centers on Tony Montana (Al Pacino), an ambitious Cuban criminal who connives, claws, and kills his way from the Miami refugee ghetto to the very heights of the American Dream (as seen through the cracked and critical lens of screenwriter Oliver Stone).In this spoilerific deep dive, the guys look past the quotes and body count to figure out how a movie that so heavily influenced pop culture and informed subsequent crime pictures could also be boring to a first-time viewer in 2023--and whether or not Ian might help change the mind of said first-time viewer, who is entirely hypothetical and does not at all appear on camera as his guest!And, yes, they address some of the controversies surrounding the film, including its early criticisms for over-the-top violence and profanity, and concerns over the portrayal of cultural stereotypes.Show LinksWatch the Scarface trailer.Read Cole's article on animation, "Why Do People Still Balk at Animation and How Can We Change Their Minds?" at Tor.com (referenced in the show).Keep up with all of Cole's literary goings-on at his website.Subscribe to, like, and comment on the Kicking the Seat YouTube channel!

We opened the show by asking listeners their take on Boston's expanded Open Streets program. We spoke with Oliver Stone and Joshua Goldstein to discuss “Nuclear Now”, a new film based on Goldstein's book “A Bright Future”. It makes the case for nuclear energy as a solution to climate change. Then, we asked listeners to call in with their thoughts on nuclear power. We aired last night's After Hours event: a wide-ranging conversation with Rep. Ayanna Pressley, a chat with Boston Arts Academy Spirituals Ensemble director Michael Bradley, and performances from the ensemble.

In this episode of the podcast we sip on a delightfully tangy gin and champagne treat called the French 75. This cocktail, named in honor of the French 75-millimeter light field gun (a fast and deadly weapon used during WWI), was quite the hit in France in the late 40s and early 50s the time when STEPHANIE's scandal would start in Italy and be pushed out to the rest of Europe.

The EPA is trying again with power plant rules to fight climate change, but this time, the agency is backed up by statutes in the Inflation Reduction Act. It's using these to carefully craft new rules designed to survive legal challenges. Also, the Africa recipient of this year's Goldman Environmental Prize joins us to share how he organized a community and brought a UK based mining company to justice for polluting a river in Zambia with waste from an open pit copper mine that sickened locals and killed fish.

Episode 161 is the eleventh in a new series of episodes that chronicle the story of the Garrison investigation in New Orleans and the related trial of Clay Shaw. Episode eleven is the second in a mini-series that addresses the star witness of the Clay Shaw trial, Perry Russo. In this second episode covering Russo, we tell the story from the perspective of Jim Phelan from the Saturday Evening Post and the issues with Perry Russo's testimony. Phelan became privy to certain memos prepared by Andrew Sciambra, Assistant District Attorney, which highlighted these discrepancies in various versions of Perry Russo's story. A story that had rapidly become the sole basis for charging Clay Shaw with conspiracy to murder the President of the United States. Unbeknownst to Garrison, Phelan had already become an FBI (and possibly a CIA) informant. He would use his influence with Garrison to secure two memos prepared by Sciambra. The discrepancies between these memos and other statements by Russo would serve as the basis of a confrontation with Garrison and his team. Phelan began as a friendly member of the press, but a few days after charging Clay Shaw, Garrison would spend a weekend in Las Vegas and Phelan would meet him there. Breaching his confidence, Phelan would secure copies of the memos and then deliver them to the FBI. This occurred before the initial testimony at Shaw's preliminary hearing. Perry Russo had previously gone public on his own before he was discovered by anyone, including Garrison...but Garrison soon took control and the ensuing story related to Russo's ongoing interactions with the New Orleans D.A.'s office would prove to be more than controversial. Phelan and others would contend that Garrison and his staff engaged in a progressive series of actions that included the use of sodium pentothal (truth serum) and a series of hypnosis sessions all of which pointed to witness manipulation. That he and his office had engaged in steps to suggest the proper answers to Russo, was the issue in question and whether those actions materially enhanced the original testimony of Perry Russo and were, essentially, untruths... Critics contend that the changes were so radical that Russo's testimony evolved from being initially irrelevant, to so significant that it singlehandedly resulted in the arrest of Clay Shaw, for conspiracy to murder the President. Join us in in this exciting series of episodes about one of the most fascinating witnesses....in fact the star witness...of the Clay Shaw trial. Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it, were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This real-life story is more fascinating than fiction. No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.

We are thrilled to be sharing this Special Edition COBT with you. The new film "Nuclear Now" is just a week away from hitting theaters and we had the opportunity to not only see it early but also to visit with the film's acclaimed director, Oliver Stone, as well as Professor Joshua Goldstein, the co-writer of the book that inspired the film ("A Bright Future: How Some Countries Have Solved Climate Change and the Rest Can Follow"). Oliver is an Academy Award-winning director, screenwriter, producer, and author of "Chasing the Light." As you may know, some of his renowned work includes "Scarface," "Platoon," "Born on the 4th of July," "Wall Street," and "Midnight Express." Professor Goldstein is an award-winning scholar of international relations and an expert on war and society. Mike Bradley, Brett Rampal and I had the pleasure of hosting Oliver and Josh, talking about the key aspects of the movie, and delving where we could into the broader issues the movie raises. In our discussion, Oliver describes how a review of "A Bright Future" in the New York Times sparked his interest in nuclear as part of the solution to address climate change. It took two and a half years to create the film, which covers not only the history of how the technology was developed but also its high and low moments in popular perception. We touch on Oliver's takeaways from studying different aspects of American society and the overall misrepresentation of nuclear power that the film aims to correct. Josh provides background on how nuclear power and nuclear war became conflated, much to nuclear power's detriment. We also discuss Admiral Hyman Rickover and his development of naval nuclear-powered submarines, the Hollywood community's unfortunate portrayal of nuclear that's added to the narrative over the years, and the team's experience finding experts to interview as part of the film. Oliver also shares his perspective on international cooperation around nuclear and both he and Josh comment on the significant amount of fact checking that took place to create the film. “Nuclear Now" is technical in its approach and goes into significant detail around historical, existing, newer and future potential nuclear technology. Nuclear Now opens to the public on May 1st in select theaters across the US and Canada. The film will also be available via streaming at a later date – you can sign up for updates on that release. If you are interested in more nuclear content, last month Veriten debuted a podcast dedicated entirely to the world of nuclear, power, and industrial heat called Gener8. We hope you can take time to dig in and learn more. We want to thank Oliver, Josh, and the team behind Nuclear Now for improving the conversation around nuclear energy, for injecting more optimism into the energy/environment/climate discussion, and for spending an hour with us engaging on the film. We hope you all enjoy the film as much as we did!

Episode 160 is the tenth in a new series of episodes that chronicle the story of the Garrison investigation in New Orleans and the related trial of Clay Shaw. Episode ten is the first in a mini-series that addresses the star witness of the Clay Shaw trial. Perry Russo. In this first episode covering Russo, we pick up the action on February 22nd, the date of David Ferrie's death, when by all accounts the investigation should probably have been closed down. But Garrison pushed on and he was given a gift almost immediately as this young twenty five year old insurance salesman living in Baton Rouge saw the news of Ferrie's death and would step forward immediately and begin to tell the story of a David Ferrie obsessed with the idea of killing the President. Russo went public on his own before he was discovered by anyone including Garrison...But Garrison soon took control and the ensuing story related to Russo's ongoing interactions with the New Orleans D.A.'s office would prove to be more than controversial as Garrison's staff engaged in a progressive series of actions that included the use of sodium pentothal truth serum and a series of hypnosis sessions all of which ensured a lifetime of criticism mounted at Garrison. That he and his office had engaged in steps to suggest the proper answers to Russo and that those actions enhanced the original testimony of Perry Russo, so much so, from something initially that may or may not have been initially relevant, to finally being significant and comprehensive enough... all by itself..to justify arresting Shaw and charging him with conspiracy to murder the President of the United States. Join us in the first and subsequent episode about one of the most fascinating witnesses....in fact the star witness...of the Clay Shaw trial. Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it, were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This real-life story is more fascinating than fiction. No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.

The EPA is proposing to cut the amount of toxic air pollutants industrial sources are allowed to emit. The targeted chemicals include known carcinogens that have long contaminated communities in Appalachia and Louisiana's “Cancer Alley.” Also, there are many sources of hidden plastic in the waste that wealthy countries send to the developing world, in clothing, tires, and electronics. How all that extra plastic waste is affecting the environment and health of people in the Global South. And the government offers a $7,500 tax credit to new car buyers to help meet a goal that 50% of all new vehicles sold in the U.S. should be electric by 2030. But to qualify, cars must now meet a new set of requirements. -- Join us for our next free Living on Earth Book Club event! “Soil: The Story of a Black Mother's Garden” with Camille T.
