Hang onto your slipcases because Blake Howard (One Heat Minute Productions) and special guest Sean Burns (film critic) will discuss the greatness of the departed Gene Hackman in the special CRITERION COLLECTION 4K release of NIGHT MOVES.Night MovesArthur Penn's haunting neonoir reimagines the hard-boiled detective film for the disillusioned, paranoid 1970s. In one of his greatest performances, Gene Hackman oozes world-weary cynicism as a private investigator whose search for an actress's missing daughter (Melanie Griffith) leads him from the Hollywood Hills to the Florida Keys, where he is pulled into a sordid family drama and a sinister conspiracy he can hardly grasp. Bolstered by Alan Sharp's genre-scrambling script and Dede Allen's elliptical editing, the daringly labyrinthine Night Moves is a defining work of post-Watergate cinema—a silent scream of existential dread and moral decay whose legend has only grown with time.4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrackOne 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special featuresNew audio commentary by Matthew Asprey Gear, author of Moseby ConfidentialNew audio interview with actor Jennifer WarrenInterview with director Arthur Penn from a 1975 episode of Cinema ShowcaseInterview with Penn from the 1995 documentary Arthur Penn: A Love Affair with FilmThe Day of the Director, a behind-the-scenes featuretteTrailerEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingPLUS: An essay by critic Mark HarrisNew cover by Greg ManchessSean BurnsSean Burns is a film critic for WBUR's Arts & Culture and a contributing writer at North Shore Movies and Crooked Marquee.

The only thing better than talking to one Sean is when you add a second Shawn to the mix. Returning to the podcast this week, I'm thrilled to share this recent wonderfully rollicking, quick-witted, story, & insight-filled conversation I had with two of my dearest friends: the veteran Boston-based WBUR film critic Sean Burns & the award-winning internationally bestselling novelist S.A. Cosby. Zooming in to cover some of their (sometimes divisive) crime movie favorites not called THE GODFATHER, for this episode, we agreed to take a closer look at MENACE II SOCIETY, THE FUNERAL, BLOW, & WE OWN THE NIGHT, but then wound up celebrating, critiquing, & shouting out several other under-discussed crime movie faves as well. The perfect accompaniment to your summer travels or long commute to work, listen with a notebook handy to write down some of these great movies. Sean Burns' Bio: A film critic for WBUR's Arts & Culture and a contributing writer at North Shore Movies and Crooked Marquee, he was Philadelphia Weekly's lead film critic from 1999-2013 and worked as contributing editor at the Improper Bostonian from 2006-2014. His reviews, interviews, and essays have also appeared in Metro, The Village Voice, Rolling Stone, The Boston Herald, Nashville Scene, Time Out New York, Philadelphia City Paper, and RogerEbert.com. A graduate of New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, Burns was a recurring guest on the late David Brudnoy's WBZ 1030 AM radio show, and in 2002, received an award for Excellence in Criticism from the Greater Philadephia Society of Professional Journalists. His writing has been called "jocular but serious, more like a 1940s daily reporter pounding out columns on a manual typewriter than a typical twenty-first-century navel-gazing film critic." Meanwhile, his sisters still tell him that he "swears too much and drives like an old lady." S.A. Cosby's Bio: S. A. Cosby is an Anthony Award-winning writer from Southeastern Virginia. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller Razorblade Tears and Blacktop Wasteland, which won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, was a New York Times Notable Book, and was named a best book of the year by NPR, The Guardian, and Library Journal, among others. His latest award-winning bestselling novel is All the Sinner's Bleed. When not writing, S.A. Cosby is an avid hiker, cinephile, and chess player.

Out of the Nowhere. Into the Here is the sublime second album by singer, songwriter, and performer Stephen Bluhm. It'll be available as both a vocal version and a companion all- instrumental set. Recorded, mixed, and produced by Bluhm and featuring a host of gifted guest musicians, the orchestral opus is an elaborate aural feast of strings, horns, flutes, piano, reed instruments, and other timelessly evocative musical sounds — ambitious, but intimate and confiding as well. Out of the Nowhere. Into the Here is being released on 12” LP vinyl, CD, digital download, streaming platforms and 2xCD set including both vocal and instrumental versions on April 19. The instrumental version is being released separately on the same date on digital download and streaming platforms. While Bluhm has been “making songs ever since I can remember,” in his teenage years it was his older siblings' Lou Reed and David Bowie records that ignited his adolescent musical obsession. While attending Temple University, he took the plunge into live music via campus open-mic nights and from there burst upon the bustling Philadelphia scene, prompting the Philadelphia City Paper to dub him “an old soul, writing Tin Pan Alley-ish fare and singing croon-y folk jazz in a voice that'd make Morrisey swoon.” Relocating to New York's Hudson Valley, he further honed his expressive performing style: Belying the serious slants of some of his songs, Bluhm's shows often find him dancing madly among delighted audience members. “The music (and Stephen) is utterly charming,” raves famed musical theater actor and composer Tom Judson, one of Bluhm's avowed fans, about Out of the Nowhere. Into the Here. “The halting, clipped vocals, with a sudden appearance of sumptuous string writing, are unexpected and elegant. The music, at first blush, appears naïve. But on a close listen, it's very assured, and complex writing. And the arrangements are really just wonderful. Sufjan Stevens meets Kurt Weill meets Stephen Foster.” “As I put these songs and arrangements together for the album, I became more and more confident in them,” says Bluhm. “I just hope people sense the beauty in them, the genuineness that I put into them.” With one listen to Out of the Nowhere. Into the Here, no doubt people will sense exactly that.

Mary Patel-Gallagher, a Philadelphia native, has transitioned from being a political journalist to an independent filmmaker based in Las Vegas. In a recent podcast interview with Floyd Marshall Junior, she discussed her journey and the challenges she faced in the film industry. Patel-Gallagher shared insights into her career change, her documentary "Electile Dysfunction," and her first feature film "Holistay," which is now streaming on various platforms. From Political Reporter to Filmmaker Patel-Gallagher started her career as a political journalist, working as a columnist for the Philadelphia City Paper for 13 years. Her column, "Political Notebook," covered local, statewide, and national political issues. She also served as a correspondent for the Democratic and Republican presidential conventions and appeared on the ABC affiliate political talk show, "Inside Story." Her experience in politics led her to produce and direct the documentary "Electile Dysfunction," which examined the voting culture in the US. Transitioning to Filmmaking After the newspaper industry faced significant changes, Patel-Gallagher decided to pursue a career change and delve into feature filmmaking. She moved to Los Angeles in 2010 to immerse herself in the film industry. While in LA, she worked on various projects and developed a strong network of contacts. Patel-Gallagher gained experience in producing debates for Comcast and served on the board of the Philadelphia Film Festival. Creating "Electile Dysfunction" Patel-Gallagher's documentary, "Electile Dysfunction," focused on the American voter's apathy and lack of awareness about political candidates. The film used the backdrop of a major Senate race between Rick Santorum and Bob Casey as a template. Patel-Gallagher interviewed voters from different backgrounds, including a celebrity section that explored the impact of celebrities on political campaigns. The documentary premiered at the Philadelphia Film Festival in 2008 and later secured distribution with Cinema Libre. The Journey to "Holistay" After her success with "Electile Dysfunction," Patel-Gallagher shifted her focus to creating her own feature film. She spent several years working on her first feature, "Holistay," a thriller psychological horror film. The movie was shot in Las Vegas, where Patel-Gallagher currently resides. Overcoming the challenges of being an independent filmmaker, she managed to complete the film, which was eventually distributed by Breaking Glass Pictures. "Holistay" is now available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video, VOD, and Google Play. The Move to Las Vegas Patel-Gallagher's decision to move to Las Vegas was driven by lifestyle changes and a desire to escape the high costs associated with living in California. She found Las Vegas to be an affordable location for shooting her films. While the city may not be as established in the film industry as Los Angeles, Patel-Gallagher was able to assemble a crew and shoot her film, even utilizing her own house as a location. Las Vegas provided a new creative environment for Patel-Gallagher's filmmaking endeavors. The Future of Independent Filmmaking As an independent filmmaker, Patel-Gallagher acknowledged the challenges of navigating the industry dominated by corporate entities. While there are more platforms available for showcasing independent films, the competition remains fierce. Patel-Gallagher has plans for future projects, including sequels to "Holistay" and a film centered around the Jimmy Chagra Trial featuring former Las Vegas Mayor and Philadelphia Mob lawyer Oscar Goodman.

It's always the greatest joy to spend the last few episodes of a phenomenally busy season just chatting about movies hangout-style with some of my closest friends & this year was no exception. I'm so lucky that in the middle of award-season deadlines, one of my funniest cinephile pals, the great Sean Burns joined me for two evenings after Thanksgiving, first to discuss CARLITO'S WAY alongside S.A. Cosby & William Boyle, & then logging back onto Zoom the next night for his latest solo episode on four of director Robert Altman's many terrific under-discussed films: BREWSTER MCCLOUD, THE CAINE MUTINY COURT MARTIAL, COOKIE'S FORTUNE, & THE COMPANY.This is the final installment of Watch With Jen for 2023.

In his last appearance, film writer Sean Burns joined me to take a look at Michael Douglas in lothario mode in one of the pod's most hilarious and popular adults-only episodes. And this week, he's back to dissect five films starring one of the podcast's most beloved and covered character actors in the form of Jack Nicholson's turns in Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces, The Shining, Terms of Endearment, and The Crossing Guard. In addition to astute insights and Nicholson storytelling, you'll hear the hilarious Burns bring out my feistier side the deeper we get into the episode. So sit back as we curse like sailors, critique strip club numbers, lovingly poke fun at filmmaking pretensions, and compare the pretty, dull young actors of today to salad dressing. It's another fun conversation indeed!A film critic for WBUR's Arts & Culture and a contributing writer at North Shore Movies and Crooked Marquee, he was Philadelphia Weekly's lead film critic from 1999-2013 and worked as contributing editor at the Improper Bostonian from 2006-2014.

In this episode Sam Adams, longtime Philadelphia City Paper writer and now Senior Editor at Slate.com joins me in the studio to discuss the changing role of the film/media critic, the 2017 Emmy Awards, and his recent trips to the Toronto International Film Festival and the Camden International Film Festival in Maine. Featured are some great soundtracks from the current “Golden Age” of television shows Master of None, I Love Dick, Fargo, Empire, This is Us and Broad City plus such classic opening TV themes from Rockford Files, Miami Vice and Peter Gunn.
This week, I was so pleased to welcome back one of the funniest guests I've ever had, the quick-witted, fresh, and very clever Sean Burns. A staff writer at WBUR's The ARTery and contributing writer at North Shore Movies, Sean Burns was Philadelphia Weekly's lead film critic from 1999-2013 and worked as the movie section contributing editor at the Improper Bostonian from 2006-2014. Additionally, a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and the recipient of an award for excellence in criticism from The Greater Philadelphia Society of Professional Journalists in 2002, Sean's reviews, interviews, and essays have also appeared in Metro, The Village Voice, The Boston Herald, Nashville Scene, Time Out New York, Philadelphia City Paper, The House Next Door, Movie Mezzanine, RogerEbert.com, and more. Additionally, he's also a projectionist who can tell you exactly what's wrong if you're messing up the presentation of a movie at an AMC Theater.Following up on an impromptu pact we made the last time Sean was a guest where we impossibly discovered that although we were both movie-obsessive teens at the time, neither one of us had ever bothered to see Disclosure, we turned that promise into today's theme. Investigating the sexy, sleazy side of Michael Douglas, in this very funny, adults-only episode, we take a closer look at Fatal Attraction, Basic Instinct, Disclosure, and Solitary Man in order to evaluate the man, the myth, the Michael in Lothario Mode. The ideal soundtrack for your household chores or whatever you decide to do in the kitchen (just please, take the dishes out of the sink first) and the ultimate conversation to hear on your way to dance awkwardly in a deep v-neck sweater in a nightclub on a Saturday night, I know you'll dig this one.Note: Due to content & language - perfectly fitting our subject, of course - this episode is rated E for Explicit.Theme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music ArchiveOriginally Posted on Patreon (9/18/21) here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/56321819

*All The President's Minutes* is a podcast where conversations about movies, journalism, politics and history meet. Each show we use the seminal and increasingly prescient 1976 film *All The President's Men* as a portal, to engage with the themes and the warnings of the film resonating since its release. In a special bonus episode, I join staff writer at WBUR's The ARTery and a contributing writer at North Shore Movies - my favourite Bostonian - Sean Burns. Blake and Sean discuss the breaking news of stand-over tapes to find votes from President Trump and unfathomable stupidity that continues to dribble through the death rattle of the Trump Presidency. *About Sean Burns* Sean Burns is a Staff Writer at WBUR's The ARTery ( http://www.wbur.org/inside/staff/sean-burns ) and a Contributing Writer at North Shore Movies ( https://northshoremovies.wordpress.com/author/splicedpersonality/ ). He was Philadelphia Weekly's ( http://www.philadelphiaweekly.com/search/?app=editorial&f=html&l=25&nsa=eedition&q=%26%2334%3BSean+Burns%26%2334%3B&s=start_time&sd=desc&t=article%2Cvideo%2Cyoutube%2Ccollection ) Lead Film Critic from 1999 through 2013 and worked as the Movies Section Contributing Editor at The Improper Bostonian from 2006 until 2014. His reviews, interviews and essays have also appeared in Metro ( http://www.metro.us/profile/sean-burns ) , The Village Voice, The Boston Herald, Nashville Scene, Time Out New York, Philadelphia City Paper, Movie Mezzanine ( http://moviemezzanine.com/author/sean-burns/ ) , The House Next Door and RogerEbert.com. A 2013 nominee for the National Society of Film Critics, Burns was a recurring guest on the late David Brudnoy's WBZ 1030 AM radio show, and in 2002 received an award for Excellence in Criticism from the Greater Philadelphia Society of Professional Journalists. His writing has been called "jocular but serious, more like a 1940′s daily reporter pounding out columns on a manual typewriter than a typical 21st-century navel-gazing film critic." Meanwhile, his sisters still tell him that he "swears too much and drives like an old lady." *Twitter:* *@SeanMBurns* ( https://twitter.com/SeanMBurns ) Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/one-heat-minute-productions/exclusive-content Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
42 episodes down, four more to go…we’re at the end now, friends. Staring at the sea of time, the sea of memory and forgetfulness, waiting for what happens to everything to happen to us too: An ending. And so it’s endings we’re thinking about today, for the show, for the movie, for the American fate we’re all held hostage too... Jeez, remember when we used to have fun on this thing? *About the Guest - SEAN BURNS* Sean Burns is a Staff Writer at WBUR’s The ARTery and a Contributing Writer at North Shore Movies. He was Philadelphia Weekly’s Lead Film Critic from 1999 through 2013, and worked as the Movies Section Contributing Editor at The Improper Bostonian from 2006 until 2014.

Sean's writing has been called "jocular but serious, more like a 1940's daily reporter pounding out columns on a manual typewriter than a typical 21st-century novel gazing critic," but if you ask Sean's sisters, they'll just tell you that he swears too much and drives like an old lady.Very funny and imaginative, Jen once had the misfortune of sharing a podcast episode of Blake Howard's THE LAST (12 Minutes) OF THE MOHICANS with Sean and it's safe to say that everyone that had been laughing and marveling along with Sean was undoubtedly disappointed by the time they reached her half of the conversation.Today's episode starts out pretty traditionally as she asked Sean questions about his life and career but after about fifteen minutes or so, they loosened up, latched onto some tangents, and just went with it. Riffing on the most random of topics (apologies to Michael Douglas!), the last thirty minutes flew by in a fit of laughter.Originally Posted on Patreon (9/28/20) here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/42116374Theme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive

Tweet LIVE this Sunday, January 7th at 635pm Small Bites with Glenn Gross and Derek Timm of Bluejeanfood.com on Wildfire Radio is back and is ready for a great 2018. We start things off by welcoming author Karen Page. Karen is a two-time James Beard Foundation Award winner, previous cookbooks “Culinary Artistry” was called one of the best cookbooks of all time by Food & Wine and “The Flavor Bible” was called one of the 10 best cookbooks in the world of the past century by Forbes. Well her latest endeavor with photographer Andrew Dornenburg “Kitchen Creativity: Unlocking Culinary Genius with Wisdom, Inspiration, and Ideas from the World's Most Creative Chefs” (Little, Brown and Company) shows great cooking is as much about intuition and imagination as it is about flavor and technique. Kitchen Creativity distills brilliant insights into these creative processes from more than 100 top restaurant kitchens, including the Bazaar, Blue Hill, Daniel, Dirt Candy, Eleven Madison Park and the NoMad, Gramercy Tavern, the Inn at Little Washington, Le Bernardin, Oleana, Rustic Canyon, Saison, Single Thread, and Topolobampo. Based on four years of extensive research and dozens of in-depth interviews, Kitchen Creativity illuminates the method (and occasional madness) of culinary invention. Part I reveals how to learn foundational skills, including how to appreciate, taste, and season classic dishes (Stage 1: Mastery), before reinventing the classics from a new perspective (Stage 2: Alchemy). Einstein's secret of genius-combinatory play-pushes chefs to develop unique creations and heighten their outer and inner senses (Stage 3: Creativity). Part II's A-to-Z entries are an invaluable culinary idea generator, with exercises to prompt new imaginings. The ultimate reference for culinary brainstorming, Kitchen Creativity will spur your creativity to new heights, both in the kitchen and beyond. Then we are thrilled to welcome Amy Strauss the author of “Pennsylvania Scrapple: A Delectable History” (The History Press). Amy is a food and drink writer and editor in the Philadelphia area. With a knack for uncovering the beauty in all things delicious, she takes to the streets of the City of Brotherly Love and beyond to discover its stories and relay them to you on a silver platter. With a decade of publishing experience in print and online publications for outlets like Philly Beer Scene, Edible Philly, The Spirit Newspaper, The Town Dish, Main Line Today magazine, Southwest Airlines, OpenTable, BlackBook Media, Philadelphia City Paper and Drink Philly, among others, she's hungry, she's eager and she loves to have her cake (and eat it, too). Beyond food and drink journalism, Amy is experienced with building creative content for brands like Campbell's Soup Company, Victory Beer Company, Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant , Garces Group, Airgas and more. She's obsessed with her Pennsylvania Dutch heritage, slices of funfetti cake and not giving up hope for the Philadelphia 76erss. There may not be hope for the 76ers, but scrapple is as great as ever and everything you want to know about it is in “Pennsylvania Scrapple: A Delectable History”. An essential food in Mid-Atlantic kitchens for hundreds of years, scrapple is the often-overlooked king of breakfast meats. Developed by German settlers of Pennsylvania, the slow food byproduct was created to avoid waste in the day's butchering. Pork trimmings were stewed until tender, ground like sausage and blended with the originating broth, cornmeal and buckwheat flour. Crispy slabs of scrapple sustained regional ancestors through frigid winter months and hard-worked harvests. Today, companies such as Habbersett and Rapa still produce scrapple as new generations of chefs create exciting ways to eat the staple. Join author Amy Strauss as she traces the sizzling history and culture of a beloved Pennsylvania Dutch icon. Follow her ongoing culinary pursuits on Instagram at @amystrauss or online at www.amystrauss.com. In 2018 on the Chinese New Year it will be the Year of the Dog, and the original White Dog Cafe located in a brownstone in University City will celebrates 35 years since their opening and has expanded by 85 seats having recently taken over the property adjacent to the restaurant. This is going to be a WOOFderful year! To talk about this and much more we will have on Chef Clark Gilbert Culinary Director of White Dog Café. It all started with Judy Wicks, social activist and original Founder, opened White Dog Cafe in January of 1983. Located in three connecting Victorian brownstones in University City, White Dog quickly became a local favorite known for its environmental sustainability and community engagement.

Their seasonal menus feature only the best ingredients from farms they trust; including pasture fed animals, humanely treated livestock, and fish and seafood that is harvested through sustainable suppliers. They incorporate organic items as much as they can when available from farms using sustainable farming practices. Their wines are grown and produced from American vineyards and serve local craft beer and use artisan distilled spirits in their beverages. All of their tea, coffee, and chocolate are Certified Organic and Fair Trade. The restaurants use renewable energy, LED lighting and practice sustainable initiatives that are environmentally friendly. It's always great when a restaurant is environmentally friendly, but it really adds a special flair when they are kid friendly as well.

In 2002, Iraqi-American jazz and classical trumpeter Amir ElSaffar put his New York career on hold to study the music of his father's ancestral past. He traveled to Iraq, throughout the Middle East, and to Europe to learn from master artists who could teach him the centuries-old tradition of the Iraqi maqam, the classical Arab system of melodic modes and compositions that is one of Iraq's great artistic legacies. He became versed in Iraqi maqam, learned to sing its modes and melodies, and studied the santur (hammered dulcimer). Now he leads Safaafir, the only ensemble in the United States performing Iraqi maqam. At the same time, he developed new techniques for the trumpet in order to produce the kinds of microtones and ornaments characteristic of Arab music. In 2006, ElSaffar applied his knowledge of Iraqi-Arabic music to jazz. His Two Rivers Suite invokes ancient Iraqi musical traditions and frames them in a modern jazz setting. The compositions are based on Iraqi maqam melodies, each of which is believed to have a unique spiritual essence, or ruhiyya, and to embody an aspect of Iraq's history and culture. Each ruhiyya can be understood as a loose melody: malleable, free, and open to interpretation and variation but, at the same time, distinct and recognizable. Singers improvise and composers write songs, creating endless possibilities but always maintaining the original feeling of the ruhiyya. The movements of Two Rivers Suite are based on various ruhiyya from the Iraqi maqam repertoire, providing a point of departure for composition and improvisation. Each section explores a different mode of interaction between Arab music and jazz, blurring the lines that typically distinguish conventional "jazz," "Arab," or "Iraqi" sensibilities. These maqam melodies often contain non-Western tunings and are set to heavy grooves, free jazz-like ensemble playing, and multi-layered sound textures. ElSaffar and his Two Rivers ensemble meld styles and cross-pollinate the languages of ancient and modern, East and West. ElSaffar's compositions are some of the first in jazz to make use of Arab modality and its non-Western tunings. Two Rivers is a journey through Iraq's glorious and tragic past and present. It expresses ElSaffar's personal struggle as an Iraqi American watching his father's homeland in turmoil and destruction. The CD of Two Rivers (Pi Recordings, 2007) was named to top-ten lists for jazz recordings by the Boston Globe and Philadelphia City Paper and was runner-up for top debut jazz release in the Village Voice.
First up, in this two-part episode, I join Staff Writer at WBUR's The ARTery and a Contributing Writer at North Shore Movies - my favourite Bostonian - Sean Burns. Sean recounts hilarious observations of Boston labourers working with Daniel Day-Lewis on the set of The Crucible, before gushing about the beauty of 90s Madeleine Stowe.To close the episode, I join Jen Johans film critic and screenwriter to discuss symphonies of trios echoing throughout the film and the double devastation of Uncas and Alice's death.ABOUT SEAN BURNSSean Burns is a Staff Writer at WBUR's The ARTery and a Contributing Writer at North Shore Movies. He was Philadelphia Weekly's Lead Film Critic from 1999 through 2013 and worked as the Movies Section Contributing Editor at The Improper Bostonian from 2006 until 2014. His reviews, interviews and essays have also appeared in Metro, The Village Voice, The Boston Herald, Nashville Scene, Time Out New York, Philadelphia City Paper, Movie Mezzanine, The House Next Door and RogerEbert.com.A 2013 nominee for the National Society of Film Critics, Burns was a recurring guest on the late David Brudnoy's WBZ 1030 AM radio show, and in 2002 received an award for Excellence in Criticism from the Greater Philadelphia Society of Professional Journalists.His writing has been called "jocular but serious, more like a 1940′s daily reporter pounding out columns on a manual typewriter than a typical 21st-century navel-gazing film critic." Meanwhile, his sisters still tell him that he "swears too much and drives like an old lady."TWITTER: @SEANMBURNSABOUT JEN JOHANSAn avid film buff and three-time national award-winning writer, the only time Jen Johans ever got into trouble in school, was for talking about movies during quiet time. Jen Johans received a BA in Film Studies and was dubbed a walking movie encyclopaedia. Dedicated to sharing her love of film with others, Johans went from working on local festivals to curating and hosting a film discussion series before she launched the first version of her site Film Intuition in her final semester back in 2006.Originally devoted solely to the work of female filmmakers (hence its name), although she branched out as readership grew to cover everything from classic to modern mainstream fare, after twelve years and 2,400 pieces, Jen Johans remains just as committed as ever to reviewing films made by women. Likewise eager to showcase foreign, arthouse, and indie titles often overlooked on other sites, when she isn't writing about or watching movies, chances are she can be found talking about them on Twitter (@FilmIntuition) where there's no such thing as quiet time.TWITTER: @FILMINTUITIONAbout the show: THE LAST (12 minutes) OF THE MOHICANS is a twelve-episode limited podcast series focusing on the climax of the Michael Mann's 1992 epic The Last of the Mohicans. The format of the podcast, which slightly differs from ONE HEAT MINUTE, utilises the entire final twelve-minute climax of Mohicans as a portal to explore the themes of the movie. The show examines the cross-section of political apparatuses, colonial superpower wrangling, and Mr Mann's riff on the "great American hero." The final episode - once again will feature Mr Mann to unpack his intentions with the film in the conception and orchestration of its grand ending.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/one-heat-minute-productions/donations
All The President's Minutes is a podcast where conversations about movies, journalism, politics and history meet. Each show we use the seminal and increasingly prescient 1976 film All The President's Men as a portal, to engage with the themes and the warnings of the film resonating since its release. For minute sixteen host, Blake Howard joins staff writer at WBUR's The ARTery and a contributing writer at North Shore Movies - my favourite Bostonian - Sean Burns. Blake and Sean discuss that other Bill Camp, they don't make them like Jack Warden anymore, Nixon's impeachment falling on Sean's Dad's birthday, and Sean describes an encounter with the great Robert Redford.About Sean Burns Sean Burns is a Staff Writer at WBUR's The ARTery and a Contributing Writer at North Shore Movies.
