THIS IS A PREVIEW. FOR THE FULL EPISODE, GO TO Patreon.com/worstofall When Bill Clinton won the US presidential election in 1992, two people were key to his success: James Carville and George Stephanopolous. This week, Brian and Josh step into The War Room, D.A. Pennebaker's 1993 documentary about how these two men and their team of future top Democratic all-stars cajoled and bullshitted America's electorate into sending Slick Willie to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Join Matt and me as we continue our Movie Musicals era, diving into the world of Stephen Sondheim on film. This week, we're watching another documentary: “Original Cast Album: Company”. This famously was supposed to be the pilot to a tv show, but the guy directing it got another gig, so it turned into a one off. I've never seen so many cigarettes being smoked at the same time. Times sure were different then. Don't miss out, and be sure to watch before we discuss!Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ConnerandSmith

Comedy person Adam Burke ("Wait Wait Don't Tell Me") joins Andy & Steph to talk about one of the more unconventional choices for the podcast: D.A. Pennebaker's 1970 documentary, "Original Cast Album: Company." As a bonus, the gang ends up talking a LOT about the the "Documentary Now" episode "Original Cast Album: Co-Op." Adam talks about how "Co-Op" led him to "Company." Andy is mostly mad that we're covering this movie. And Steph talks about how "Company" made her ready to risk it all.Check out our No Skips playlist on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6NWZ1ETlRqC9s7gcVIoTFW?si=81f3c5a2862645b5check out our patreon! patreon.com/dumbfun Hosted on Acast.

In its attempt to capture the chaotic comedic alchemy leading up to the first-ever SNL broadcast, Jason Reitman's SATURDAY NIGHT is carrying the weight of the show's nearly 50-year legacy and its personification in protagonist Lorne Michaels. Whether it manages to get off the ground despite that is up for debate in the first half of this week's discussion, before we bring in another tense evening in '70s New York to see how ORIGINAL CAST ALBUM: COMPANY compares in its depiction of a late-night highwire act and the pressure to pull off a performance with many moving parts on a deadline, and what each depiction reveals about the nature of creative collaboration. And in Your Next Picture Show we offer a brief glimpse at an alternate-universe episode in which we paired SATURDAY NIGHT with Robert Altman's final film, A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION.  Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about ORIGINAL CAST ALBUM: COMPANY, SATURDAY NIGHT, and anything else in the world of film by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Capturing the tense hours leading to a pivotal moment in live TV history, the new SATURDAY NIGHT is defined by a looming deadline that reminded us of another New York-based all-nighter captured on film: D.A. Pennebaker's 1970 TV pilot turned documentary film ORIGINAL CAST ALBUM: COMPANY. Despite being less than an hour long, the fly-on-the-wall document of Stephen Sondheim and company recording the definitive version of their Broadway hit in a single night provides no shortage of nuance to dig into like we're Sondheim parsing an F sharp that's drifted to A. And in Feedback we bring a comment from a recent bonus episode on BLINK TWICE over to the main show in order to discuss the relative value of movie twists.

In the twenty-fifth episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by editor Kristi Shimek and fellow cinephile Anna Cullado to discuss the raw and unfiltered capturing of the grueling 19-hour album recording for Stephen Sondheim's groundbreaking musical Company in D.A. Pennebaker's casual yet immersive documentary Original Cast Album: Company (1970).

The late D.A. Pennebaker made documentaries about rock and roll, politics and (often) the intersection of the two through the late 20th century. Many of them are roundly considered some of the most influential cinéma vérité movies of all time. Nico and Adam discuss five of them: Bob Dylan: Dont Look Back (4:10), Monterey Pop (21:06), Original Cast Album: Company (32:29), Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (47:11) and The War Room (58:18).

This week we're highlighting an interview Bruce Miller did with Ryan White, the director of Good Night Oppy. The film, which documents NASA's Mars rover Opportunity, is in theaters now and will land on Amazon Prime on November 23rd. It's an unexpectedly moving movie that Bruce has short-listed for his Oscar pool, and we thought we'd take the opportunity to hash out some of the other great documentaries this year, what it is that makes a great non-fiction film or series, and since Bruce also recently had a chat with the 'Documentary Now!' creators we give some shine to that consistently brilliant satirical deconstruction of the genre.

Today, I am so happy to announce my episode with my  second guest this week to have starred in the original cast of Company: its original Sarah, Barbara Barrie, whose other credits include The Prisoner of Second Avenue, Torch Song Trilogy, and Signficant Other. Tune in to hear some of the fascinating stories of her long career, including the battle she had with Hal Prince and Equity over Original Cast Album: Company, the part she turned down but later got to replace as, the Neil Simon show in which she felt her part was undeveloped, the challenges of balancing motherhood and acting, the difference between Art Carney and Hector Elizondo as co-stars, how she landed her Broadway debut, the differences between starring on stage and screen, the “total disaster” that was The Selling of the President, how she almost got held in a mental asylum while researching a part, acting with Tony Randall on The Odd Couple: Together Again, working with Barbara Baxley on A Little Night Music, what would make her come back to Broadway now, and so much more. You won't want to miss this fascinating look into the Golden Age of Broadway with one of its most skilled actresses.

COMPANY COMPOSER: Stephen Sondheim LYRICIST: Stephen Sondheim BOOK: George Furth DIRECTOR: Hal Prince CHOREOGRAPHER: Michael Bennett PRINCIPLE CAST: Beth Howland (Amy), Dean Jones (Bobby), Elaine Stritch (Joanne) OPENING DATE: Apr 26, 1970 CLOSING DATE: Jan 01, 1972 PERFORMANCES: 705 SYNOPSIS: On his 35th birthday, bachelor Robert is confronted by his happily, and unhappily, married friends, as well as his three girlfriends, who all push him towards committing to another human being.  Stephen Sondheim had tremendous early success as a Broadway lyricist, but until the success of Company, his work as a composer could not be regarded as commercially successful. Based on a series of sketches about married couples by actor George Furth, Sondheim and director Hal Prince developed a musical which navigated a bachelor's relationships with his lovers and married friends. Rick Pender promotes Company's significance as an early book musical which, through Boris Aronson's design, Prince and Michael Bennett's staging, Jonathan Tunick's orchestrations, subject matter, and rough narrative, epitomized contemporary storytelling and broke away from the conventions of traditional musical theatre. Later revivals of the show staged by John Doyle and Marianne Elliott employed tactics which kept Company at the cutting edge of the art form and in dialogue with timely societal critique. Rick Pender- From 2004 to 2016 Rick Pender edited The Sondheim Review; in 2017 he launched EverythingSondheim.org. His book The Stephen Sondheim Encyclopedia was published in 2021. He has written about theater for Cincinnati CityBeat since it began publishing in 1994, and he was the paper's arts and entertainment editor from 1998 until 2006. Ohio's Society of Professional Journalists recognized him the state's best arts critic in 2002 and 2017. He contributed theater interviews to public radio station WVXU's weekly arts magazine for 15 years. Rick is a past chair of the American Theatre Critics Association.

This long-lost documentary about the original cast album recording of "Company" is finally available, and not only features a smoldering Stephen Sondheim (that smile!), the oddly alluring Donna McKechnie, Pamela Myers struggling to find the "bubi," Beth Howland perfecting the patter, and Barbara Barrie's sunglasses, but the indomitable Elaine Stritch. Proving that some women do still wear hats with that white "dump hat," she conducts from the chorus, drinks with the men, smiles in the ensemble, and fights to nail "Ladies Who Lunch" all the way till breakfast. We also discuss our own spotty histories with Sondheim, which number we'd like to see performed by drag queens, our feelings on Patti LuPone as Joanne, and the strange batch of Tony nominations this show got. In the words of Susan Browning, it could drive a person crazy....

Welcome back to Intermission, a spin-off podcast from The Film Stage Show. In a time when arthouse theaters are hurting more than ever and there are a plethora of streaming options at your fingertips, we wanted to introduce new conversations that put a specific focus on the films that are foundational or perhaps overlooked in cinephile culture. Led by yours truly, Michael Snydel, Intermission is a 1-on-1 supplementary discussion podcast that focuses on one arthouse, foreign, or experimental film per episode as picked by the guest. For our eighth episode, I talked to film critic Kyle Turner, about D.A. Pennebaker's 1970 documentary, Original Cast Album: Company, which is exclusively available on The Criterion Channel. Originally conceived as a pilot, the film recounts parts of the laborious 16-hour recording process of the cast album for Sondheim's musical Company. Of a piece with Pennebaker's other cinematic explorations of larger-than-life personas like Dont Look Back and Monterey Pop, it's a film that's equally concerned with the analog processes of studio mixing and the impossibility of capturing perfection. The best exhibition of that struggle comes in the film's climax when Elaine Stritch (as Joanne) is physically unable to perform one of the musical's showstoppers, “The Ladies Who Lunch,” as a visibly sulking Sondheim watches in the studio. It's a sequence that's been affectionately spoofed as recently as a popular episode of the Documentary Now! series and has been picked apart as meme material. As Kyle playfully muses, “It's a moment that nearly every gay man knows” while speaking to its lingering cultural legacy. On a purely cinematic and musical level, it's a magnificent scene––but it's also a compact metaphor for the paradox of perfection. Appropriately, our Intermission conversation focused on the mutability of the text and how its many ambiguities harmonize with its fixed elements. Parts of the conversation covered common Sondheim- and Company-related questions like Bobby's perceived––or at least intuitable––queerness or the linguistic gymnastics of the lyrics. But we also found time to discuss commitment as it relates to living in New York, how being a film critic informs Kyle's reading of Company, and the shifting but still relevant political questions of Sondheim's text.

Original Cast Album: Company is a 53-minute documentary by the late great legend, D.A. Pennebaker. It documents the original cast recording of the theatrical 1970 musical, Company, by Stephen Sondheim. Jim's obsession with seeing this documentary began last year when he saw the IFC Documentary Now! Spoof on this film, Co-op. Now, thanks to The Criterion Channel, Jim got his wish--and he's obsessed. On this week's episode of Stuff We've Seen, Jim and Teal discuss Company, the Documentary Now! spoof, and the genius of D.A. Pennebaker's fly-on-the-wall camerawork, and tension-building editing. Also on the program, Jim takes a dive into some additional Criterion Channel offerings from filmmaker Cheryl Dunye. Dunye's 1992 Watermelon Woman is an interesting, self-reflexive part narrative, part documentary, part mocumentary look at black lesbian issues, and the history of black female representation in film. It serves as a reminder for Jim that not all film offerings need to be feature commercial narratives.  Also on this week's agenda is Jim re-examining Gus Van Sant's 1991 follow-up to Drugstore Cowboy, My Own Private Idaho. Idaho is currently playing on Criterion Channel as part of Criterion's Queersighted: Turn the Gaze Around series. And if that is not enough for you, dear listener, Jim watched a truly bizarre 1971 offering, Daughters of Darkness, courtesy of Amazon Prime, and Teal watched Trolls: World Tour. Oh, and we find out that Teal hates Harry Potter. So there is a ton to unpack. Get at it!
