Tim Burton's debut feature feels a little bit like a filmmaker finding his footing. At the same time, it's a trial by fire for Paul Reubens and Phil Hartman as they brought their creation, the capricious Pee-Wee Herman, to the big screen. It paid off, of course, cementing Pee-Wee as an icon of character comedy and a mainstay of American children's programming. Depending on your history with the character, you could find in PEE-WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE a constant, dull, childish annoyance or a charming work of self-aware bliss. “Things You Shouldn't Understand, Things You Couldn't Understand: A Love Letter to the Cast of Pee-wee's Big Adventure” by Sohpie Durbin for Perisphere, the Trylon blog: https://www.perisphere.org/2024/01/07/things-you-shouldnt-understand-things-you-couldnt-understand-a-love-letter-to-the-cast-of-pee-wees-big-adventure/ “I Lived It: The Joy of Pee-wee's Big Adventure” by Alex Kies for Perisphere, the Trylon blog: https://www.perisphere.org/2024/01/07/i-lived-it-the-joy-of-pee-wees-big-adventure/ “Pee-wee Herman- Unedited Interview (Big Adventure) 1985 [Reelin' In The Years Archives]”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4X4KbsLuzY #OtherProgramming #35mm This film was presented at the Trylon by the Cult Film Collective: https://cultfilmcollective.com/ Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/trylovepodcast and email us at trylovepodcast@gmail.com to get in touch!

We're kicking off 2024 (THE YEAR OF THE #BIG #BALLER - "Let your nuts hang!") with William Richert's gonzo political paranoia thriller WINTER KILLS! It's kind of funny, but not funny enough to be a laugh-out-loud comedy. It's kind of serious, but not serious enough to demand attention. Riding behind the unluckiest motorcade in American history, WINTER KILLS pitches Jeff Bridges as Nick Kegan, the half-brother of the late president, who's suddenly clued into a vast conspiracy – and then promptly given the run-around from literally everyone. Along his circuitous route to the truth, he meets the archetypal figures: The lusty femme fatale, the omniscient information broker, the trenchcoat Italians, the horny capitalist dad who couldn't POSSIBLY be pulling the strings. Depending on your point of view, it's either a unique parody or kind of boring – but nobody can say it doesn't try.

With returning guest and Perisphere senior editor Finn Odum! Alejandro Jodorowsky's best-known film, THE HOLY MOUNTAIN, is a psychedelic hero's journey from rags to riches, from shit to gold, and from iniquity to enlightenment. It follows “The Thief” as he gives up his search for material wealth to join a cast of sinful sages on their way up the titular mountain and, hopefully, beyond the boundaries of human mortality. Its provocative antics and theatrics have made it a staple of arthouse cinema, and its never-ending jabs at every corner of taboo give it a provenance few other movies have shared. Joined by returning guest Finn Odum, we dive right in with a discussion of what “works,” what “doesn't,” what “matters,” and what might be quietly brooding under Jodorowsky's loud, panicked, off-the-rails storytelling style. “iPhones Will Also Be Sex Vibrators: An Ode to Little Freaks” by Finn Odum for Perisphere, the Trylon blog: https://www.perisphere.org/2023/12/01/iphones-will-also-be-sex-vibrators/ Find Finn… - On Twitter at https://twitter.com/Finnematic - On Letterboxd at https://letterboxd.com/finnofthedead/ - On Trylove episodes about THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD (1951), DIABOLIQUE (1955), and CON AIR (1997) Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/trylovepodcast and email us at trylovepodcast@gmail.com to get in touch!

Takahide Hori's one-man masterpiece-in-the-making is fun, sweet, and terrifying. In the distant future, after losing a war to the synthetic life forms they created, humans who've lost the ability to reproduce in a viral pandemic launch a last-ditch effort to correct the course of their species. Parton – a lonely prole who lives a vicarious, virtual existence – enlists in the effort to find a cure from the denizens of the depths… before catching a missile on the way down, losing his body and memory in the process. Adrift with a mission to secure humanity's future, Parton finds himself instead audience to the weird, rich lives of the creatures below the surface.

TWILIGHT (nope!) can be considered in the same conversation as other works of slow cinema, but György Fehér's detective story has a bit more of a direct, even darkly comic, edge to it. A girl is found violently murdered in the woods, kicking off a slow-but-frenzied search for the perpetrator. In this discussion, we talk about how TWILIGHT leverages the slow cinema toolkit (slow pans, long takes, minimal action) to what Fehér called the “ridiculous contrast” between the search for justice and the eternity of nature. “Waiting for Something to Happen: György Fehér's Twilight” by Luke Mosher for Perisphere, the Trylon blog: https://www.perisphere.org/2023/11/10/waiting-for-something-to-happen-gyorgy-fehers-twilight/ Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/trylovepodcast and email us at trylovepodcast@gmail.com to get in touch!

One of Brian De Palma and Robert De Niro's earliest features (a big movie for famous guys with “De” in their last names) is a De Mented, De Praved, De Tached experimental film that De Tails (I'm done) voyeurism, vicarity, and white liberal apologia in the Civil Rights era. When Vietnam vet Jon Rubin (De Niro) fails to convey his desire for authenticity through both filming porn and marrying one of his subjects, he trades in his 8mm camera for a TV set (see, he's no longer just the one who SEES, but the one who is SEEN in return!). That puts him on the trail of a black theater troupe engaged in the interactive piece “Be Black, Baby!”, which, through De Palma's shaky, uncut, hurried lens, reaches an extreme fever pitch that seems to accept the limits of white American storytelling without settling for ‘not saying anything.' “Hi Mom!: Smile for the Camera” by Nick Kouhi for Perisphere, the Trylon blog: https://www.perisphere.org/2023/10/27/hi-mom-smile-for-the-camera/ “Turn Your Gaze Upon This Wretched Thing: The Schismatic Spectacle of Brian DePalma's Hi, Mom!” by Courtney Kowalke for Perisphere, the Trylon blog: https://www.perisphere.org/2023/10/27/turn-your-gaze-upon-this-wretched-thing-the-schismatic-spectacle-of-brian-depalmas-hi-mom/ “Coercive Theater” by Philippa Snow for Artforum: https://www.artforum.com/columns/philippa-snow-on-brian-de-palmas-_hi-mom_-1970-242133/ Check out more Cult Film Collective screenings at the Trylon: https://www.trylon.org/films/category/cult-film-collective/ Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/trylovepodcast and email us at trylovepodcast@gmail.com to get in touch!

Content warning: Depictions of abuse and violence toward women and transgender people. The atrocities committed by Buffalo Bill, a serial killer known for skinning his victims, make up only some of the injustices outlined in THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, director Jonathan Demme's adaptation of Thomas Harris's novel. Among the others: Stunted actualization, systemic removal of agency, and a culture-wide lack of empathy. In this episode, we discuss the motivations of Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins in his most iconic role) as he shepherds Clarice Starling (a thoroughly empathetic Jodie Foster) along the path to Buffalo Bill (Ted Levine in plurality). In achieving full actualization – a comprehensive marriage of form and theme – THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS casts a stylized and sensational, pointed and restrained (but not always fair or friendly) eye toward the people who are ‘allowed' to capital-B Become and those who must do it the hard way. “A Farewell to Horses” by Natalie Marlin for Perisphere, the Trylon blog: https://www.perisphere.org/2023/10/22/a-farewell-to-horses/ Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/trylovepodcast and email us at trylovepodcast@gmail.com to get in touch!

With Maddy Sheehy, Emma Youndtsmith, Abbie Phelps, and Natalie Marlin! How did YOU come across THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT? Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez's found footage horror film kicked off a genre before the turn of the millennium, and it still holds a freaky deaky power over audiences today.

Who would you be if not for destiny? What kind of person are you holding yourself back from becoming? George Sluizer's psychological thriller is best known for its morbidity and shock ending, but on this episode of Trylove, we focus on the stuff in the middle. At its heart, THE VANISHING is two parallel tales of men driven to pursue a new version of themselves: An aggrieved ex-husband and a sociopath who takes a leap into the unthinkable.

But how the citizens of Victoria react sometimes belies their true feelings: The girls who were spared their classmates' fate are giddy with drama; the police fear what their inability to solve the incident means for their authority; and headmistress Ms. Appleyard may harbor more jealousy than guilt over the girls' freak disappearance. This episode delves into the colonial, historical, sexual, and gender-centric throughlines of Peter Weir's PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK, focusing on Ms. Appleyard as a vector for the girls' frivolous nature, their austere environment, and the imposition of British rule over the First Nations of Australia.

Part FITZCARRALDO (1982), part APOCALYPSE NOW (1979), part Lord of the Flies, THE MOSQUITO COAST was Harrison Ford's wily villainous turn and one of Peter Weir's most cynical movies to that point in his career. Allie Fox's Nicaraguan sojourn – an ill-conceived plot to bring ice to the jungle – is cut short by his hubris, his family's increasing skepticism, and the harsh realities of jungle living that put a cap on his seemingly limitless madman optimism. On this episode, we talk about America's self-sabotaging right-wing movement, whether or not the movie begs our empathy for Allie's detachment from reality, and the unflappable resolve of those who would see the world built in their image. “Mosquito Coast: Or, Man Absolutely Loses it in a Hardware Store” by Michael Wellvang for Perisphere, the Trylon blog: https://www.perisphere.org/2023/09/15/mosquito-coast-or-man-absolutely-loses-it-in-a-hardware-store/ “Ice is Back With My Brand New Invention” by Lucas Hardwick for Perisphere, the Trylon blog: https://www.perisphere.org/2023/09/15/ice-is-back-with-my-brand-new-invention/ “A Harrison Ford filmography: The actor looks back at some pivotal roles” in Entertainment Weekly: https://ew.com/article/1992/06/12/harrison-ford-filmography/ Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/trylovepodcast and email us at trylovepodcast@gmail.com to get in touch!

With returning guest Seth Zarate! Listening note: This episode sounds different from our usual productions. Cody, Seth, and Jason were all in a room together, while Aaron joined remotely. Jason had precious little editing time. Our apologies for any disruptions. One of Peter Weir's earliest feature length films, THE CARS THAT ATE PARIS bears some of his hallmarks (genre-mixing, dualities, subcultures, cars cresting hills menacingly) and also some surreal, batshit filmmaking in the same conversation as MAD MAX (1979) (obviously) and DEATH RACE 2000 (1975) and PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE (1974) – and also the movies of the Coen Brothers?

Inside its genre ‘guardrails,' WITNESS tells the story of worlds brought together by tragedy – but whose intersection point (a haggard Harrison Ford and a repressed Kelly McGillis) exemplifies the deep, dignified richness of human love and connection.

Featuring Natalie Marlin (https://twitter.com/NataliesNotInIt)! Even though MILLENNIUM MAMBO shows us a vivid portrait of Vicky, a woman struggling with personal change at the dawn of the millennium, it's arguably not REALLY about that. It's almost more about her relationship to herself – rather, to the version of herself who makes those choices – as narrated by Vicky 10 years in the future. Vicky's hushed voiceover and swallowed admissions build a narrative of her recursive patterns in 2001: Her tumultuous relationship with the manipulative Hao Hao, her would-be partnership with kindhearted criminal Jack, her run-ins with the Taipei nightclub scene, and her frequent returns to snowy Hokkaido. At the same time, they're calling attention to the wants and desires of 2011 Vicky, calling into question how inescapable some loops really are. “Millennium Fades” by Natalie Marlin for Perisphere, the Trylon blog: https://www.perisphere.org/2023/08/04/millennium-fades/ Find Natalie… - On Twitter at https://twitter.com/NataliesNotInIt - On Letterboxd at https://letterboxd.com/framingthepic/ - On Trylove Episode 162: THE THIRD MAN (1949), Episode 182: CHESS OF THE WIND (1979), Episode 197: RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD (1985), and Episode 210: MAD MAX: FURY ROAD (2015) The tweet about the Helsinki pallas cat Jason mentions at the top of the episode: https://twitter.com/NoNameGirl8686/status/1689794141033463808 Watch MILLENNIUM MAMBO on the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/qian-xi-man-po-aka-millennium-mambo-2001 Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/trylovepodcast and email us at trylovepodcast@gmail.com to get in touch!

A self-sentenced prisoner in Plato's cave, Marcello Clerici thinks he chooses the shadows. Marcello doesn't want to be a fascist. He doesn't want to be an anti-fascist, either. He doesn't want to be an academic, an assassin, a husband, son, straight, or gay. He wants to be normal. He wants to be nothing. THE CONFORMIST is a dizzying psycho-political thriller that digs into the motivations that lead worms like Marcello to follow fascist ideology (or any ideology).

The reasons why some critics decried SUPER FLY on its release aren't ours to criticize (but we make that mistake on this episode a couple times anyway), but they're important to understanding its long-term impact. The bone it picks with the aftermath of the Civil Rights movement – that many of its victories were pyrrhic, and that America still has far to go before it can claim racial equity – makes it feel ahead of its time and very much of its time. Its actual function as a movie may have aged less than beautifully (it's not actually that much fun to watch or follow along with), but its combination of style (hello The Curtis Mayfield Experience) and cynicism give SUPER FLY an outsized cultural influence that precedes itself. Listen to an episode of Jason's other podcast, CrossFade, where he and Matt Helgeson discussed the music of SUPER FLY (and Rush's 2112) with video game composer Jason Graves: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/curtis-mayfield-vs-rush-feat-jason-graves/id1501267072?i=1000524248893 “I'll Let You Trip for Awhile: Curtis Mayfield's Super Fly” by Jay Ditzer for Perisphere, the Trylon blog: https://www.perisphere.org/2023/07/07/ill-let-you-trip-for-awhile-curtis-mayfields-super-fly/ Five Super Fly Hip-Hop Samples” by Matthew Tchepikova-Treon for Perisphere, the Trylon blog: “https://www.perisphere.org/2023/07/07/five-super-fly-hip-hop-samples/ Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/trylovepodcast and email us at trylovepodcast@gmail.com to get in touch!

With returning guest and Perisphere senior editor Finn Odum! THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD might be the precursor to John Carpenter's THE THING (1982), but the creature feature uses its tale of a plant-based alien invader to a vastly different end. Instead of honing in on the slow creep of bellicose masculinity, THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD instead takes the opportunity to pound its chest at the Communist threat Capitalist America had come to fear during the Red Scare and continue to fight during the Cold War. With Finn, we talk about the movie's tendency to Other, its reliance on military might and imperialist common sense, and the mid-century shift in science fiction from fantastical, barely imaginable tales to a conservative, Earth-vs-outsiders worldview.

During the Meiji period, Japanese society was seemingly split between those who desired the modernization that came with Western influence and those who insisted on upholding a “pure” Japan marked by tradition and classical thought – all in the borders of one country. LADY SNOWBLOOD is two things, too: It's a stylish manga adaptation about a demonic daughter exacting revenge for her family's suffering AND it's a finger in the eye of both ideals against which Japanese society was measured at the turn of the century.

Content warning: Discussions of attempted sexual assault. Reprehensible and unrepentant, BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA trades in the same extensive violence and fragility-masked-by-corruption that became a trademark of director Sam Peckinpah. Running a seedy bar in Mexico City, small-time lowlife Bennie sees a chance to elevate himself above his station when the titular job lands in his lap. His white-collar employers give him just enough rope to hang himself – and his partner, Elita – as they travel the Mexican countryside to deliver the head of a dead man to the crime boss he crossed. In this episode, we discuss seeing ALFREDO GARCIA at the Trylon after so long; Bennie's tenuous, poisonous drive to assert himself over the people and land around him; and the movie's bizarre, humorous, rage-addled final act.

Another entry in the “what do you even say about that movie” category, THE PRINCESS BRIDE is a seminal fantasy comedy that came smack in the middle of director Rob Reiner's insane 1980s run. Anyway, a couple of us have incredibly strong nostalgia for it and a couple of us are more measured in our enthusiasm-cum-respect for the quirky comedy.

It turns out there's no fence-sitting at the end of the Wild West. You wouldn't call THE WILD BUNCH particularly swashbuckling, but there's a sort of uncomfortable excitement to its bandolier antics. A band of outlaws eyes one last prize near the US/Mexico border in 1913. The sociopolitical tumult of the place, and the rapid advance of the punitive system of capital at the time, threaten to derail their plans until a Mexican general hires them to steal guns from a moving train. No matter which side of the border they're on, the Wild Bunch feel their God-given right to subvert systems of power slipping with each gold piece snatched and each bullet dodged. Listen in for our thoughts on the movie that made Sam Peckinpah's career and changed how people thought of violence in movies!

Special guest Emma Youndtsmith joins Trylove for the first time to discuss a classic of ‘70s animated adaptations! WATERSHIP DOWN has a reputation for ruining childhoods, with gruesome imagery and dark implications about the systems of power in the natural world. You could read it as a post-WWII allegory, as a broader indictment of fascist hegemony, or just as a journey of self-discovery. But with Emma, we tried to go further than the striking violence for which it's remembered to pull out some new insights: Why the book might be sadder than the movie, what it's saying about the nature of nature, and what makes Kehaar an all-time G.

A kidnapping, a political murder, a prison break – it was supposed to be simple. Prison warden Vito barters with the mob to exchange his stolen wife for Milo, a low-level thug locked up in Vito's prison. Vito's decision to keep Milo until the handoff proves wise: Not only is the mob in no hurry to let loose ends stay loose, but Vito begins to develop a certain consideration for Milo during their time on the lam.

While lacking some of the exploitation panache in which the poliziotteschi revels, CONFESSIONS OF A POLICE CAPTAIN is an appropriately pulpy dive into the seedy, blood-soaked streets of ‘70s Italy amid a rash of violent crime in the years following an economic boom. A storied police captain and his naive district attorney butt heads when the attorney starts to pull the threads connecting the captain to a local crime boss-slash-construction magnate. The truth comes to light faster than you'd think in this plotty tale, leaving a back half dedicated to exploring the depths of corruption, the relative limits of justice, and the line where morals and action meet. - Get tickets to POLIZIOTTESCHI: ITALIAN CRIME FILMS IN THE YEARS OF LEAD (Feb. 2023 at the Trylon): https://www.trylon.org/films/category/poliziotteschi-italian-crime-films-in-the-years-of-lead/ - “Some disorganized thoughts about poliziotteschi films” by John Moret for Perisphere, the Trylon blog: https://www.perisphere.org/2023/02/06/some-disorganized-thoughts-about-poliziotteschi-films-from-the-trylon-programmer/ - “The Best Cop Movies You've Never Heard Of: ‘Poliziotteschi' Films Get Their Due” at IndieWire: https://www.indiewire.com/2014/06/the-best-cop-movies-youve-never-heard-of-poliziotteschi-films-get-their-due-25140/ Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/trylovepodcast and email us at trylovepodcast@gmail.com to get in touch!

Flushing-Meadows Corona Park in the borough of Queens is the home of the New York Mets, the U.S. Open, the Queens Zoo, the New York Hall of Science and many other recreational delights. But it will always be forever known as the launching pad for the future as represented in two extraordinary 20th century world's fairs.There is so much nostalgia today for the 1939-1940 World's Fair and its stranger, more visually chaotic 1964-65 World's Fair. And that nostalgia has fueled a thriving market for collectables from these fairs -- the souvenirs and other common household items branded with the two fairs' striking visual symbols.The Trylon and Perisphere represented the dreams of 1930s America after the Great Depression, the strange symbols of "the World of Tomorrow." A quarter century later the Unisphere depicted its theme -- "Peace Through Understanding" -- as a space-age fantasy.Millions of souvenirs were manufactured and sold at these two fairs. And those very treasured items which survive -- in the hands of collectors, at flea markets and antique shops -- are nearly all that remain of these special, ephemeral events.In this show, Greg is joined by design and cultural historian Kyle Supley, recorded at Brooklyn's City Reliquary where Supley's own collection of World's Fair has found a permanent home.How do such souvenirs allow us to visit the past?

Featuring guest Nick Kouhi (​​https://twitter.com/kouhi_nick)! The debut of Argentinian filmmaker Lucrecia Martel is hot – but in an uncomfortable, sweaty, drenched kind of way. The matriarch of a rural summer home is bedridden after a drunken poolside injury; her cousin brings her family to tend house; her children play with guns in the woods and fish with machetes; there might be a monster lurking next door; it's humid and it almost never seems to rain. Underneath the comings and goings of this middle-class morass, Martel's portrait of life in post-dictatorship Argentina is laced with a certain sense of dread – the feeling that even the ones who want to get out of the swamp are destined to twist in the mud.

Kelly Krantz (https://twitter.com/kransekage_) is back to discuss a doozy of a movie: Iván Zulueta's enigmatic, career-ending, post-Franco, quasi-horror film ARREBATO (also known as RAPTURE)! ARREBATO focuses on Pedro and José, two filmmakers seduced by art, heroin, history, and each other. As the mystery behind Pedro's enigmatic naivete unravels – recurring “raptures” that maybe take Pedro out of his body when he watches film – José and his girlfriend Ana find themselves pulled closer and closer to the dark heart of his obsession. It's about the fulfilling, soul-sucking enterprise of doing… well, anything worth doing! It's also a movie about preserving and reliving moments forever and, in a world already full of moments to be experienced, the inherent pull of the pause.

Featuring special guest Finn Odum (https://twitter.com/Finnematic)! DIABOLIQUE's gothic vibes, feminist undertones, iconic imagery, and twist ending are all great ways to remember this psycho-sexual-horror-noir classic. A husband's murder by his wife and mistress goes off the rails, sending the killers spinning looking for an explanation when the body goes missing after the deed's been done. The twisting tale that follows calls into question nearly everyone's motives, leading to one of the best-remembered twist endings Hitchcock never directed. With Minneapolis writer and Trylon-teer Finn Odum, we remember it through its characters (both on-screen and off) and all the ways we wish this story would've ended.

“Theft is good, actually.” – Cody FILIBUS is a 1915 Italian silent film directed by Mario Roncoroni and written by Giovanni Bertinetti. It features Valeria Creti as Baroness Troixmonde and the titular Filibus, an Italian sky pirate and infamous burglar. In an attempt to cast off suspicion after her recent heist of the International Bank, the baroness enters a competition to find the culprit and frame investigating detective Kutt-Hendy (played by Giovanni Spano) himself as Filibus. The film follows the pirate's exploits staging new crimes to pin on the detective while disguised as a young nobleman, using her wits and various gadgets to maintain stay just one step ahead of the investigator – all while courting his sister Leonora (played by Cristina Ruspoli) in disguise. FILIBUS is often cited as an early pioneer of feminist fiction as well as queer representation, cross-dressing, genderfluidity, and science fiction. It played at the Trylon and was accompanied by a live score by pianist Katie Condon and was shown with the assistance of the University of Minnesota's Imagine Fund as part of the Twin Cities Silent Film Project.

“If it was necessary to climb down into hell and wrestle a film out of the claws of the devil,” Werner Herzog once said, “I would do so.” If it was necessary. In FITZCARRALDO, a man whose dream to host opera in the jungle leads him to risk and lose indigenous lives on a harebrained scheme to drag a boat over a mountain – all so he can steal natural resources to fund his manic vision. Its production, including the real-life towing of a real-life boat over a real-life mountain in Peru, was similarly plagued by injury, death, and exploitation. Herzog's biggest movie makes you feel like you're falling into a trap. Can the value of a dream realized outweigh the cost of realizing it? No. The answer's no. That's why FITZCARRALDO can be hard to swallow: It's a monumental Movie-movie about the persistence of the human spirit that is itself an example of how the products of pointless dreams – fame, riches, opera in the jungle, a movie about fame and riches and opera in the jungle – crumble in comparison to the sacrifices made to realize them. In this episode, we discuss how we feel FITZCARRALDO's hubris, imperialist undercurrents, and literal loss of life (both on-screen and behind the camera) all but rob the movie of its essential point and reason for being.

Sure, SHERLOCK, JR. is a century-old masterwork of performance, direction, and editing that still rouses today – but it also demonstrates an awareness of its audience that's been rarely seen since. In many ways, it democratized physical comedy and stunt craft in general, which is part of what makes it the case study for the value of human labor in practical effects that it is today. In others, it's also an important entry in the canon of movies about movies and their power to guide and influence behaviors and attitudes.

The Gaming Hut kicks off a series looking at the axes of RPG design, so appropriately enough we start with elegance. In the Architecture Hut beloved Patreon backer Nicola Wilson seeks the truth scoop on the Trylon and Perisphere, noted features of the 1939 New York World's Fair. Fun With Science fields a question from […]

When the 1939 World’s Fair opened in Flushing Meadows, David Sarnoff was there to share the spotlight with President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Fiorello LaGuardia, Mayor of New York City. Sarnoff announced, via a single mobile NBC television camera unit connected from a coaxial cable to a transmitting van, which was placed fifty feet from the speakers’ platform, that NBC TV was ready to go on the air. In the background, it showed the Fair’s symbols—The Trylon and the Perisphere, swept across the Court of Peace, panned the gathering throng, and captured the arrival of the president’s motorcade. This same camera captured the first television close-up: Mayor La Guardia. Never the bashful sort, he casually strode up and ogled it.

Managing Editor Kathryn Yu goes on the road to Baltimore for a conversation with four of the folks at Submersive Productions: co-artistic directors Glenn Ricci and Ursula Marcum, as well as artistic associates Susan Stroupe and Lisi Stoessel.    Join us as we dig into topics like their devising process, making open world shows, the care and feeding of the audience, telling history “at a slant,” getting the audience to feel complicit during a piece, focusing on diversity and inclusion while making immersive work, and making their productions more accessible.    We discuss their past shows such as The Mesmeric Revelations of Edgar Allan Poe; H.T. Darling's Incredible Musaeum Presents: The Treasures of New Galapagos, Astonishing Acquisitions from the Perisphere; their episodic series The Institute of Visionary History which included an eight-hour durational performance called A Horse By the Tail in the Night; plus their upcoming movement-based large-scale participatory piece MASS/RABBLE which is coming April 3—14 to the Baltimore War Memorial. 

In dieser Podcast-Folge rekapituliere ich einfach meine Gedanken. Gedanken, die insbesondere durch das Gespräch mit Florian Kuhlmann aufgekommen sind. Deshalb werde ich auf einige Punkte aus dem Gespräch nochmal eingehen. Ein Tipp: Wer Lust auf ein Spiel hat, der trinkt immer einen Schnaps, wenn ich das Wort „Gefühl“ sage. Ich hab das Gefühl, dass dann jede Menge Spaß garantiert ist und ihr vielleicht auch auf die ein oder andere Schnapsidee kommt... Zusätzliche Infos Meinen Blogbeitrag über Johanna Reich in der Perisphere von Florian Kuhlmann könnt ihr hier lesen: http://www.perisphere.de/vor-ort/simulacrum-ein-gutes-gefuehl Die Finissage der Ausstellung "Simulacrum" ist am 07. April in der Galerie Priska Pasquer in Köln. Um 18 Uhr findet ein Künstlergespräch mit Johanna Reich statt: https://priskapasquer.art/ Infos zu den "Floating Piers" von findet ihr hier: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Floating_Piers Wer das Netz von Saraceno besuchen will, muss ins K21 in Düsseldorf gehen: http://www.kunstsammlung.de/in-orbit.html Florian Kuhlmann hat in seiner Perisphere ebenfalls über Gefühle geschrieben: Feelings matter: http://www.perisphere.de/metamoderne/feelings-matter Die Vorlesung von Vera Birkenbihl "Pragmatische Esoterik. Der kleine Weg zum großen Selbst" gibt es bei YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_1-nbfRzO0

Wer schon immer einmal Mäuschen spielen wollte, wenn sich zwei Künstler unterhalten, der ist bei dieser Folge richtig. Es gibt dieses Mal kein Konzept und keinen Plan. Ich hab mich mit Florian Kuhlmann auf ein Getränk getroffen und wir haben zum ersten Mal miteinander über die Kunst, die Szene, Digitalität, Realität, Augmented Reality, Künstliche Intelligenz, warum man Kinder kriegen sollte, das Ende, die Evolution und die Metamoderne gesprochen. Dabei rausgekommen ist meine erste Laber-Rhabarber-Podcast-Folge. Warum man bis zum Ende dran bleiben sollte: nur dann erfährt man, wie man Teil der Metamoderne wird! Zusätzliche Infos gibt es dieses Mal nicht. Wenn euch etwas interessiert, dann einfach selbst kurz googlen. Besucht auf jeden Fall die Perisphere von Florian und folgt ihm bei Facebook, Twitter oder Instagram: http://www.floriankuhlmann.com/ http://www.perisphere.de/ https://www.facebook.com/Perisphere/ https://twitter.com/fkuhlmann https://www.instagram.com/fjc_kuhlmann_2k/ Sagt mir gerne, ob ihr auch in Zukunft längere Laber-Rhabarber-Podcast-Folgen hören wollt, ob lieber kürzere, konzeptionellere Podcast-Folgen oder eine Mischung?
