Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 90 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by film critic Tom O'Brien to discuss the final film in their Mike Nichols series, Charlie Wilson's War (2007). For the last film in Mike Nichols' filmography, he attempts again to try and make a political commentary that will stand out as one of best to ever get made. As someone who has tackled the human condition so well throughout his films, Nichols has also chased the idea of making a political film from his films of the 70s, to even a film on this series in Primary Colors. This time working with a script from Aaron Sorkin, Nichols does his best to tell the story of a Texas congressman and the CIA who worked together on a covert operation to support the Afghan mujahideen during the Soviet–Afghan War. Led by Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, and Philip Seymour Hoffman's stellar performances, Charlie Wilson's War is mostly the best political film Nichols made; you just wonder if he ever needed to chase this whale in the first place considering this film is still a lesser script from the acclaimed screenwriter behind it. Ryan, Jay, and Tom break down their thoughts on the film, Sorkin as a figure in Hollywood, how uneventful the film feels, Hanks wanting Nichols for this film, the greatness of Hoffman, as well as the guys final rankings of Nichols' filmography, and a reminder of the next film series the guys will be covering after their upcoming bonus episode for Nichols' Angels in America. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 2h.

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs.

Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 88 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by film critic Ben Miller to discuss the next film in their Mike Nichols series, Primary Colors (1998). Released shortly before one of the biggest political scandals in American history, director Mike Nichols reteamed with writer Elaine May to release their latest film, Primary Colors, based on the best-selling novel about of the same name about a southern governor's rise to becoming President of the United States. Though the book was deemed a work of fiction, it was based around Bill Clinton and his run to the White House, which made for a topical, fascinating subject to dissect, so much so Nichols paid a million dollars for the rights of the book to make it into a film. But as we all know, while Nichols was a hardcore member of the Democratic party and engrossed himself into politics, he struggled in his filmography to land a film that landed a punch when talking about the issues facing our country, and Primary Colors is another mixed bag. Ryan, Jay, and Ben break down their thoughts on the film, the behind the scenes of making the film, if Henry (Adrian Lester) is written poorly, John Travolta's over the top performance, the greatness of Kathy Bates and Billy Bob Thornton, if the film was made too soon during the Clinton administration's time in the White House, if the scandal's in the film are a walk in the park compared to today, and how each of the guys navigate talking politics and making the turkey at Thanksgiving.

DISCLAIMER: Please note that I use collector's nicknames for some of the dishes and not the official names they were produced with.— Bex Scott brings back a fan-favorite guest from Season One. In Season One he was called Rex but his actual name is Rob, Bex's husband. Rob returns to test his Pyrex knowledge (and how well he listens to his wife talk about her Pyrex collecting) by naming Pyrex patterns shown to him. How well does Rob do? Is he a Pyrex savant? Or is he just winging it here? See how you do against Rob by following along with the photo links in the Resources section. Rob's final score is one. One point. Which one did he get right? No spoilers here. Lessons were learned in this episode. Rob definitely believes he's better at naming Pyrex patterns than Pyrex was. The 60s and 70s were a wild time for Pyrex colors. Bex throws out some 14-year-old slang terms. Rob learns what a hugger is. And we all learn what the Pyrex names really are for some very interesting and classic patterns. Test your own knowledge along with Rob. And contact Bex to let her know what you think of Rob's names. Resources discussed in this episode:Pyrex One Rob's name: Primary Colors Plus an AttaboyPyrex Two Rob's name: Alternating White Wine Red Wine Vine SetPyrex Three Rob's name: 70s Throw Up FadePyrex Four Rob's name: Grenaded GardenPyrex Five Rob's name: Viney Vinny's Knobby Dish DelightPyrex Six Rob's name: Viking's BreadbasketPyrex Seven Rob's name: MagnaDoodle Acid TripPyrex Eight Rob's name: Hypnotic Salad BowlPyrex Nine Rob's name: 70s Jello Fruit Salad Thingamabobber Calls To YouPyrex Ten Rob's name: Gandalf's GardenPyrex Eleven Rob's name: Blood Red Christmas Doves Sharing a PomegranatePyrex Twelve Rob's name: Cretaceous Era Battle for Middle Earth—Contact Rebecca Scott | Pyrex With Bex: Website: PyrexWithBex.comInstagram: @pyrexwithbex—TranscriptBex Scott: [00:00:02] Hey everybody, it's Bex Scott and welcome to the Pyrex with Bex podcast where, you guessed it, I talk about vintage Pyrex, but also all things vintage housewares. I'll take you on my latest thrifting adventures, talk about reselling, chat with other enthusiasts about their collections, and learn about a bunch of really awesome items from the past. Subscribe now on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you love listening to podcasts so you don't miss a beat. Hey everybody, this is Bex Scott and you are listening to the Pyrex with Bex podcast. And on today's episode, I am bringing back one of your most favorite guests, formerly known as Rex in season one of the podcast. It is my husband, Rob. Welcome, Rob. Rob: [00:00:48] Thanks for having me back. I'm really excited. Bex Scott: [00:00:50] It feels like a very long, hard road getting to this recording, because we just spent the last half hour trying to fix my mic, and thank goodness that your mic wasn't working because you were playing jeopardy music in the background, trying to provoke me. Rob: [00:01:05] It was much needed. There was so much suspense. Bex Scott: [00:01:09] There was suspense if we were going to get this done. If, yeah, just all the suspense. So suspenseful that I'm lost for words. Rob: [00:01:18] I can see that. Bex Scott: [00:01:19] That made no sense. Anyway, back to the episode. Today, I thought it would be fun to play a little game with Rob to see just how well he knows his Pyrex patterns, and I've gone in and selected 12 different Pyrex patterns. I'm going to show him the picture. And because all of you wonderful people can't see what I'm showing Rob, I'm going to describe it first, and he'll give his best guess as to what the pattern is. So it's going to be a lot of learning together to see just how much Rob pays attention to me and to my love of Pyrex. Here we go. So I invite all of you to join along and make your best guess and see just how good you are with your patterns as well. I know that going through this, it was very enlightening because Pyrex didn't come up with a lot of unique, exciting names for some of their patterns and their dishes. So you'll realize that as we go through some of these. So I figured it would be nice to start off easy, give Rob a little bit of a break on his first go. Rob: [00:02:34] And you'll understand that by asking me these questions that I should have been chosen by Pyrex to name these patterns. Bex Scott: [00:02:43] I hope so, maybe the names you give will be so amazing that collectors around the world will just adopt them. Rob: [00:02:50] There'll be a fee for that, but no problem. Bex Scott: [00:02:53] Okay, we'll see how great they are, how creative you're feeling. Okay, here's the first set. So for those of you listening right now, it is a four piece mixing bowl set starting with blue, going to red, then green, then yellow. Rob, what is the name of this bowl set or pattern? Rob: [00:03:17] I would call it Primary Colors, plus an Attaboy. Because the green is not a primary color. So you have the primary colors plus the attaboy. Bex Scott: [00:03:31] You would be correct. Rob: [00:03:33] Oh, it's called with the attaboy. Nice. Bex Scott: [00:03:35] Well. No, but I like that rendition better than just the plain old Primary. So. Good job. 1 out of 12. Rob: [00:03:44] Oh, it's called Primary. Okay. Bex Scott: [00:03:45] Yeah. You're winning so far. Next up, we have a lot of this in our house, I'm looking at it right now. Okay. For everybody out there. It is a Cinderella Bowl set, and it goes from white to pink to white to pink, and it has some nice little without giving anything away foliage vine situations on it. Rob, what do you think this set pattern is called? Rob: [00:04:16] I have to call it the Alternating White Wine Red Wine Vine set. Bex Scott: [00:04:29] That's quite the name. Rob: [00:04:31] Well, yeah. Like I said, I should have been hired for this job. Bex Scott: [00:04:35] At first, I thought you were going to say wine spritzer. Rob: [00:04:38] Well, yeah. Well, if you smash them, you could make a spritzer. It'd be kind of pink. Bex Scott: [00:04:44] It's a spritzer. Okay, this is Gooseberry. Rob: [00:04:47] Oh I was close. Bex Scott: [00:04:48] You couldn't have been further away, but that's okay. It has a little, it's hard to see, but there's little gooseberries on there. They kind of look like onions, to be honest. That's okay. Rob: [00:05:02] I couldn't see it in the picture very clearly. Bex Scott: [00:05:05] I'm sorry. That was my fault. Rob: [00:05:07] Absolutely. Anyway. Carry on. Bex Scott: [00:05:10] Okay, next up, we have another mixing bowl set. It's an ombre. An ombre moment, as the kids would say. And it's kind of an orangey yellowy going into a more orangey. Wow. That's a terrible description. Rob: [00:05:30] See why I should have been hired? Bex Scott: [00:05:34] It's an orange ombre. There we go. Rob: [00:05:37] Well, it brings back some traumatic memories of the colors that my parents made me wear. So I would call that the 70s Throw Up Fade pattern. Bex Scott: [00:05:50] Oh, the PTSD is strong in this one. Rob: [00:05:54] Yeah, it goes from like a horrific orange that I remember I had to wear down to like a nasty pastel yellow that I also had to wear. Bex Scott: [00:06:04] The jumper? Rob: [00:06:05] Yeah. Where's me jumper? Bex Scott: [00:06:10] Okay. Rob: [00:06:11] I'm sure that's probably not quite what Pyrex might have used, but it probably should have been. Bex Scott: [00:06:16] So is that your your real guess? Rob: [00:06:19] Okay, fine. Um. Let's see. I would call that. Oh, let's get all fluffy. A fading sunset. Bex Scott: [00:06:29] Oh that's deep. That's a romantic set of bowls. Rob: [00:06:34] Don't worry. I've got that in me. Bex Scott: [00:06:35] Off into the fading sunset. It's called Flame Glo. Rob: [00:06:40] Same thing. Bex Scott: [00:06:43] Glow with no w. Yeah. Throw that wrench in there. Rob: [00:06:47] Is there two dots over the o? Bex Scott: [00:06:48] No. Flame Glo. Rob: [00:06:53] Yeah, it's the the German division of Pyrex. Yeah. Bex Scott: [00:06:58] Okay, this next one is good. Okay, I have to blow it up really big so you can see the extreme importance of the detail. So this is a Cinderella Bowl. It is green. It has a salad theme to it. Rob: [00:07:17] I thought that's what I saw. So I would call that the Grenaded Garden pattern. Looks like somebody threw a bomb into a garden. And there's just lettuce and radishes and stuff exploded all over the place. Bex Scott: [00:07:30] I actually like that. That's good. Rob: [00:07:32] And it's got alliteration, right? Grenaded Garden. Final answer. Bex Scott: [00:07:38] Ding! You are not correct. This one is interesting. This is called the Fetus Bowl. Rob: [00:07:46] Well. I don't understand that. Bex Scott: [00:07:48] I'm pretty sure it wasn't made and called the fetus. I think that's probably what people have called it over the years. But if you can see there's a little fetus outline right there, can you see it? Rob: [00:08:02] Yeah. To me it looks like a kid sitting on like a Hot Wheels. You know, those green machines? Like, from when I was a kid. The three wheeled machines. It looks like a little kid sitting on one of those just ripping it up, obviously tearing up a garden patch. Bex Scott: [00:08:18] Oh, it looks like a little kid cuddling with a leaf. But fun thing is, I was researching this while preparing for our discussion, and I learned that it comes with a pair of sparkly salad tongs back in the day. Rob: [00:08:38] Well, everybody needs a set of bedazzler salad tongs. Bex Scott: [00:08:41] You absolutely do. Bedazzler scooping it from your Fetus bowl. Rob: [00:08:46] Nothing improves your appetite more than hearing that. Bex Scott: [00:08:51] I'd like some salad right now. Rob: [00:08:52] How would you like to have some salad out of my Fetus bowl? Yes, please. Bex Scott: [00:09:02] Okay. Next one. And you can't really tell, Rob, but that's pink. Oh, this is a hard one to show. Okay, here we go. One second. I'll explain it to you. So it is pink. It has the knob lid. It's an 024, a nice light pink color with more vines. They really like their vines, but they're tiny little flowers. Tiny little flowered vine. Kind of like a bad tattoo. Rob: [00:09:33] I would call this Viney Vinny's Knobby Dish Delight. I don't know. You know, Vinny cooks up a meal. Bex Scott: [00:09:46] Viney Vinny. Viney Vinny. Oh, no. Images. This is called Duchess. Rob: [00:09:55] Vinny the Duchess. Bex Scott: [00:09:58] Uh, it's my unicorn piece. My most coveted piece of Pyrex is the Duchess. The next piece is a lovely dish in a wicker basket. It is blue. It has the opal lid with a very intricate blue design of tiny flowers. And what else is on here? It's an artistic line art design. This is harder than I thought it would be to explain what's on the lid. So blue base, opal lid, intricate little blue design on the top. Rob: [00:10:45] Hmm. Bex Scott: [00:10:47] Reminds me of something I would doodle on my arm when I was in high school. Rob: [00:10:50] Right. I would say... Bex Scott: [00:10:52] Right. Rob: [00:10:54] That is the, it almost looks like old Viking type print. So I'm going to call that the Vikings Breadbasket. Rob: [00:11:07] Because of the wicker. Bex Scott: [00:11:09] Blue Doily. Rob: [00:11:11] Pretty close. Bex Scott: [00:11:11] Yeah. The Vikings Doily. Rob: [00:11:14] Has something to do with Vikings, doesn't it? Bex Scott: [00:11:16] Oh, a better name is the Viking Doily. There we go. Rob: [00:11:20] There you go. Bex Scott: [00:11:21] Viking Doily. Rob: [00:11:23] RagnarDoily. There we go. The RagnarDoily. Bex Scott: [00:11:30] Oh, this is a fun one. Okay, here we go. Here we go. Rob: [00:11:33] I thought the last one was a fun one. Bex Scott: [00:11:35] This is even more fun. Rob: [00:11:36] Oh my gosh. Bex Scott: [00:11:37] Okay, so this is a nice bright blue bottom, a clear top. It's a round casserole and it has, how do you explain this? Like a line art green and blue... Rob: [00:11:54] Flower. Bex Scott: [00:11:55] Repetitive flower looking. Yeah. Flower looking design on the top. But it's not a flower. Rob: [00:12:00] I just remembered what it's called from my childhood. It's called the Magna Doodle Acid Trip. That's what that's called. Bex Scott: [00:12:09] For a second, I thought you were actually going to get the name. Rob: [00:12:13] Oh, God. No. Never. There is this cool coloring thing when I was a kid, and anybody who's of my vintage, which is like, you know, 29, that there was this coloring set called the Magna Doodle and it had like these round disks that you could put a pen in, and they had different pieces you could put in, and you just kept drawing your pen around, around the circle. And it made a pattern. Bex Scott: [00:12:38] But what's another name for that? Rob: [00:12:41] The Magna Doodle Acid Trip. Bex Scott: [00:12:44] What's another name for the Magna Doodle? Rob: [00:12:46] Oh, um, the.. Superman Acid Hit. Bex Scott: [00:12:52] The Spirograph. Rob: [00:12:55] Well, okay, if you want to get technical, sure. Bex Scott: [00:12:57] That's what this is called. Spirograph. Rob: [00:13:01] I like my name better. Let's see what your listeners have to say. Bex Scott: [00:13:07] We should get them to vote on all of your names after this. Rob: [00:13:10] 100%. Bex Scott: [00:13:13] I feel like I need to get better at describing them, though. This is really not setting you up for success. Okay, next is another round casserole. This one has a hugger. A nice brown plastic hugger. Rob: [00:13:27] What is a hugger? Bex Scott: [00:13:29] It's so that you don't burn your table or your hands. It hugs the dish and keeps the table safe. Rob: [00:13:37] Is it like a rubber thing or something? Bex Scott: [00:13:39] It's just like a plastic. A hard plastic. Rob: [00:13:43] Okay. Bex Scott: [00:13:44] Okay. And this one is, it's hard to tell, but it's like, the only way I can explain the color is like a granny panty color. It's a nice beige on the bottom. And then it has some... Rob: [00:14:03] Powder blue? Bex Scott: [00:14:04] No, that's opal. That's white on the top. So it has... Rob: [00:14:08] The darker color. Bex Scott: [00:14:11] On the top of the lid? Bex Scott: [00:14:13] Yeah, it's just brown. It's just a bad picture. Rob: [00:14:16] Oh, sorry. The picture makes it look... Bex Scott: [00:14:18] So it's a white lid with circles on top. There's three sets of circles, like line drawn circles, line drawn. Obviously it's a line drawn circle, anyway. Oh, no. Moving on. And then there's. Rob: [00:14:41] See, maybe you should have named them. Bex Scott: [00:14:44] And then it looks like leaves with more line drawn circles. Kind of like a bulb or something on the front. Okay. Rob: [00:14:54] I will call this the Hypnotic Salad Bowl because it looks like a hypnotic situation going on with the lid. Like they're trying to will children into eating salad and green foods. That's definitely what that was used for. It's like an evil adult-- Bex Scott: [00:15:18] Evil eye. Rob: [00:15:19] -- tool. Bex Scott: [00:15:20] Sucking you into the vegetables. Rob: [00:15:23] Eat your veggies. Yep. That's you will love your green beans. Bex Scott: [00:15:28] This casserole, I have to say, is very ugly. Rob: [00:15:33] Yeah, it's not going to be on our table. Bex Scott: [00:15:35] No. Okay, wait, did you already give me a name? Oh, yeah. You did. It was so great, I forgot. Okay. It's called Brown Onion. Rob: [00:15:48] It's called the Hypnotic Salad Bowl. I looked it up. Bex Scott: [00:15:55] Just Brown Onion. Rob: [00:15:57] The Brown Onion Hypnotic Salad Bowl. Bex Scott: [00:15:59] Here's another one. It's another one with a hugger. It's a brown casserole with a clear green hugger. The bottom is a nice green color. The lid is opal, and there is a nice fruit. A purple and green fruit. What's the word I'm saying? I don't know. It's gone. Gone from my mind. It's a fruit. I'm trying not to use words that will give away the the name of it. Rob: [00:16:32] Looks like grapes or something. Bex Scott: [00:16:34] Yeah, and the box, I actually really like the box. Okay. What would you say this one's called? Rob: [00:16:41] The 70s Jello Fruit Salad Thingamabobber Calls To You. Or is calling? Yes. It's very, very, very 70s colors. Bex Scott: [00:16:57] It is. I don't mind this one. Rob: [00:17:00] Or 60s. Bex Scott: [00:17:02] It's just called Grapes. That's another-- Rob: [00:17:06] Way to dumb it down. Bex Scott: [00:17:07] I know. That's why I was saying at the beginning they didn't come up with the most exciting names. Okay, here we go. Rob: [00:17:14] That's why they should have hired me. Okay. Bex Scott: [00:17:17] Next up, mixing bowl set. There's three of them. There are some cute little mushrooms on there. And some grass. And some flowers. No. No flowers. Just grass. Grass and mushrooms. And it's a beigey speckly color. Rob: [00:17:37] Well, this is pretty obvious what this should be called. It's the Hobbit. Hobbit Town. And Gandalf's Garden was what the three different bowls are called. Bex Scott: [00:17:59] Oh, I actually like that. I could see that in a little, what are the hobbit huts called in the Shire? Rob: [00:18:08] I don't know. Bex Scott: [00:18:09] They're little houses. Rob: [00:18:11] Like burrows or something. Yeah, something like that. Anyway, yeah. Bex Scott: [00:18:17] I digress. Forest Fancies. Rob: [00:18:21] I wasn't too far off. Bex Scott: [00:18:22] I actually like yours better. I think they'd sell. Rob: [00:18:27] You. You'd reign in the LOTR folks, that's for sure. Bex Scott: [00:18:32] Okay. Next up. I like this pattern. We don't have any of it because it's a slippery slope. There's lots of it and I just can't start another collection, as you know. Okay, so this is alternating opal with a pattern, red opal with a pattern and then a nice orangey color. It's a mixing bowl set. Some cute little birds on it and some flowers and leaves in nice orange red. Oh no. Yeah. Orange red and nope, just orange and red. I'm having trouble seeing. Rob: [00:19:19] It must be called the Blood Red Christmas Doves Sharing a Pomegranate. Bex Scott: [00:19:30] That's a very good description. So that people will know out there that are listening what it is. Rob: [00:19:38] I can't tell what's on the, behind the birds. Is that like a teddy bear? What is that? Bex Scott: [00:19:45] No, that's a a floral decoration of sorts. Like a tulip. It's a tulip. Rob: [00:19:55] Oh. It looks like a bear. Bex Scott: [00:19:58] It's a tulip adjacent. This is called Friendship. Rob: [00:20:04] Oh, well, I mean, two Blood Red Doves Sharing a Pomegranate is friendship. So that, it's just the simplified version of my name. Bex Scott: [00:20:18] I was going to say something. No. In the teenage speak of a 14 year old. But I couldn't think of anything. Like bro-ing up or something. Or bro-ing down. Or they're just bro-ing. Rob: [00:20:33] No, they're just skibidiing on a pomegranate together. Bex Scott: [00:20:37] It's a skibidi Pyrex. Oh I've just lost all of my listeners. Okay. Rob: [00:20:43] I think so. Here we go. Bex Scott: [00:20:44] I'm ashamed. I'm ashamed. Okay. Next up. Rob: [00:20:48] Oh, that looks familiar. Bex Scott: [00:20:49] You've spent a lot of time with this pattern with all your cooking and baking. It is a mixing bowl set. It is a speckly beigey brown with a really nice blue floral pattern on it. Rob: [00:21:06] Well, the side pieces almost look like little armored, well armored shrimps. So I'm going to call this the Cretaceous Era Battle for Middle Earth. Bex Scott: [00:21:26] Now all I'm seeing is shrimp in a squid. Rob: [00:21:30] But the shrimp are wearing armor, like. Bex Scott: [00:21:32] They're ready to get in there. Rob: [00:21:33] They're front line. Ready to go. Bex Scott: [00:21:35] Yeah. Yeah. This is called Homestead. Rob: [00:21:42] Well, maybe they were fighting in their homeland, so it's called homestead. The homestead shrimp. Bex Scott: [00:21:48] Shrimp on the range. Home on the range. Rob: [00:21:51] Yeah. Bex Scott: [00:21:53] I like it. Rob: [00:21:54] The range being the beach, I guess. Bex Scott: [00:21:58] Okay, that was it. Those are all the ones that I chose for us. So. Lessons learned-- Rob: [00:22:07] Interesting patterns. Bex Scott: [00:22:09] -- is that Rob can go very deep when naming things. Another lesson learned is that I am ashamed that I didn't know what color was on the Duchess, having spoken about it in many episodes. And what else? I need some sparkly salad tongs. And yeah, those are those the main takeaways. Rob: [00:22:36] Go to Value Village and find one of those old bedazzler sets and really do up a set for you. Bex Scott: [00:22:42] I think we might have to. Rob: [00:22:45] And one-up those. Bex Scott: [00:22:48] Well, I think we might have to do a second round of this down the road. Maybe you can do some studying and thrifting and Pyrex research to expand your vocabulary of names and in the meantime, I'll keep saving to buy my Duchess to secretly bring it into the house and hide it from you. Rob: [00:23:14] No, that is the wrong answer. Bex Scott: [00:23:20] But anyway, I'd love to know what everybody listening guessed for the Pyrex names. If you aren't a collector, if you don't know your Pyrex patterns, let me know! Find me on Instagram or Facebook at Pyrex with Bex and we will hopefully hear from Rob again down the road with more Pyrex naming and knowledge. So thank you everybody for listening. And thank you, Rob, for being here again. Rob: [00:23:48] My pleasure. And please people comment on whether you think that my names are superior to that of Pyrex's boring shortened names. Bex Scott: [00:24:03] I'll be sure to let you know what they say in the comments. Rob: [00:24:06] Yes, please. That'd be great.
Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 87 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by our Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson to discuss the next film in their Mike Nichols series, The Birdcage (1996). For the better part of two decades, Mike Nichols was chasing the idea of directing some version of the iconic play, La Cage aux Folles. Nichols called the play “one of the greatest comedy structures” of all time, and knew he to be involved with it somehow. So in the mid-1990s, he was able to convince the studios and producers to let him make an American remake of the play and have his longtime, iconic stage collaborator, Elaine May, to write the script; and thus The Birdcage was born. Centering around a gay Miami couple whose son is set to marry the daughter of a conservative U.S. senator, The Birdcage is a groundbreaking, iconic comedy that remains hilarious and timely to this day thanks to the incredible ensemble cast, May's sharp script, and Nichols steady direction bringing it all together. Ryan, Jay, and Erik discuss their thoughts on the film, what their favorite performance is in the movie, how Nichols was able to wrangle Robin Williams' persona in, the dozens of iconic lines, the entire third act of the film, and tangents, tangents, tangents. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 1h55m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Mike Nichols with a review of his next film, Primary Colors. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it.

Cooder said goodbye to Hollywood in 1998 with his score for Primary Colors. Based on Joe Klein's originally anonymous book, the film tells the story of Bill Clinton's rise to the White House.

The Reading with Your Kids podcast recently welcomed two talented children's authors to discuss their latest works - Brad Mason, author of the "Charlie Chaloosy" series, and Morenike Oyenusi, whose new book is titled "The Primary Colors."

Brad shared that his focus is on tapping into universal childhood experiences that kids can easily relate to.

He includes interactive prompts that inspire kids to write and illustrate their own stories, helping to foster a love of storytelling. The discussion also explored the importance of instilling solid values, building a sense of community, and making quality time for family bonding - with Brad offering wonderful suggestions for fun activities parents can do with their kids. Morenike Oyenusi then joined the conversation to discuss her new picture book, "The Primary Colors." Her story introduces a community of primary colors and what happens when a new, pastel-hued family moves in. Morenike shared how her book explores themes of diversity, acceptance, and the power of storytelling to bring families together. Like Brad, Morenike emphasized her dream of having families around the world snuggle up and read her books together, creating cherished memories.

This site hosts audio only. To see the video of this special episode, please go to, https://youtu.be/8NdUlrhpjHkMarie is an internationally exhibited painter. Her oil paintings address the tension of urban landscape and the natural world. Inspired by frequent walks through various trails and open spaces in California, her work reveals her observations of the changes and dynamics of nature in the face of the ongoing climate crisis. Engaging notions of abstraction, her work references the surrounding landscape using atmospheric color shifts, fragmented imagery and multiple viewpoints to suggest the ideas of flux, change and instability in the environment. Marie taught painting and color theory at CSULB for 30 years, where she developed an Advanced Studies in Color class.June is a recipient of the COLA Fellowship, the Guggenheim and the California Community Foundation, Fellowship for Visual Artists. June uses abstract painting to explore how color, repetition, movement, and balance can serve as conduits to spiritual contemplation and interpersonal connection to her African-American roots. Exploring the psychological construct of skin color or tone through pattern and abstract painting has proven to be a revealing gesture and these ideas are explored in her two ongoing series: the Energy Wheel Paintings inspired by her meditation practice and her Flag Paintings, which explore the alignment of multiple identities such as race, nationality, gender, or political leanings. June's public art works include a Venetian glass mosaic at the Metro Pacific Station in Long Beach Influences: Marie has two main influences: first, the New York abstract school where her formalist abstract artist teachers were students of the pivotal figure in Abstract Expressionism, Hans Hoffman. That experience that has always remained with her. Second, were her teachers Elmer Bishoff and Joan Brown at Berkeley, members of the "second generation" of the Bay Area Figurative Movement. Marie always loved the California painting of Richard Diebenkorn and Wayne Thiebaud and the landscape expanse.June's influences include Varnette Honeywood, Romare Beardon, Jacob Lawrence, Charles White, David Hockney and Alma Thomas. Another influence was the 1976 LACMA show ‘Two Centuries of Black American Art.' These works had a profound, formative impact upon June. Other inspiration/explorations have drawn from cultural and African American historical references, sacred geometry and very recently, the Benin emblem of the river leaf.Find more information at: www.mariethibeault.com and www.luisdejesus.com/artists/june-edm
Netflix's live-action adaptation of Neil Gaiman's groundbreaking comic book series, "The Sandman," continues to captivate audiences with its rich storytelling and stellar cast. The series premiered on August 5, 2022, and quickly garnered critical acclaim, including a 9/10 review from IGN, which praised it as an adaptation fans "could only conjure up in their deepest of sleeps." Production for Season 2 resumed in November, and Netflix has now announced the actors who will portray Dream's previously unseen siblings. Esme Creed-Miles, known for her role in "The Doll Factory," will play Delirium. Adrian Lester, star of "Primary Colors," will take on the role of Destiny. Barry Sloane, familiar to many from "Revenge" and the first-person shooter franchise "Call of Duty," will embody The Prodigal, also known as Destruction. These new cast members join returning stars Tom Sturridge as Dream, Kirby as Death, Mason Alexander Park as Desire, and Donna Preston as Despair. Other familiar faces returning for Season 2 include Patton Oswalt as Matthew the Raven, Vivienne Acheampong as Lucienne, Gwendoline Christie as Lucifer Morningstar, Jenna Coleman as Johanna Constantine, and many more. Barry Sloane's casting is particularly notable for fans of "Call of Duty," where he voices the beloved character Captain Price. His transition from video games to a major role in "The Sandman" highlights the diverse talent of the cast. While Season 2 does not yet have a release date, Netflix's recent announcements and teasers suggest that fans might not have to wait too long for the new season. With the cast complete, the anticipation for the next chapter in "The Sandman" saga is higher than ever.

Billy Bob Thornton is an unlikely but enduring movie star. He blasted onto the scene as a character actor in movies like One False Move and Tombstone before his 1996 passion project, Sling Blade, earned him a best screenplay Academy Award while also netting him a Best Actor nomination. Made for just over $1 million, it was a solid box office hit, grossing 30 times its budget, and from there, Thornton's career went into high gear. While his directorial career went on the back-burner after Harvey Weinstein cut his Cormac McCarthy adaptation, All the Pretty Horses, to shreds, his acting career was white-hot, earning a best-supporting actor nomination for Sam Raimi's A Simple Plan and leading movies such as Monster's Ball, Friday Night Lights, The Man Who Wasn't There, and netting high profile supporting roles in Armageddon, Primary Colors, Bandits, Love Actually and so many more.His career really gained momentum when he signed on to play the lead in perhaps his most iconic film, Bad Santa, which became an R-rated Christmas classic. At the same time, the public became fascinated by Thornton's eccentricities, including the fact that he and his then-wife Angelina Jolie wore pendants of each other's blood and his well-known aversion to antique furniture. There's also his viral CBC interview in which he sparred with the now-cancelled Jian Ghomeshi, but through it all Thornton has stayed firmly on the Hollywood A-list, with him especially prominent on TV thanks to roles on Fargo and Goliath. We dig into his career in this episode of WTF Happened to this Celebrity, which is written (with Brad Hamerly), narrated and produced by Taylor James Johnson, and edited by Adam Walton.

In Amerika de primaries voor de komende presidentsverkiezingen zijn losgebarsten. Daarom hadden radio-icoon Bernard Hammelburg en correspondent Jan Postma het in hun Amerika Podcast over de campagne van Bill Clinton in 1992. En over het boek dat daarover werd geschreven. Ik moest denken aan de film die erop werd gebaseerd. En waar ik een mini-aflevering van mijn podcast over had gemaakt. Die mini-aflevering was tot nu toe alleen beschikbaar voor een select groepje luisteraars. Maar vanwege de Amerika Podcast heb ik hem nu opengezet. Welkom bij Fantastische Filmlocaties, Nederlands enige podcast over beroemde films en de plaatsen waar ze werden opgenomen.

Additional fun tidbits include: the strange career of A Home of Our Own director Tony Bill, the underrated Bates-led TV show Harry's Law, the exciting acting Oscar wins that happened in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, and some of Bates' other B-Sides (Angus, Primary Colors, Bonneville).

A Way with Words — language, linguistics, and callers from all over
Centuries ago, monks who took a vow of silence developed their own hand signs, with hundreds of gestures, that are still in use today. Plus, how do speakers of different languages distinguish similar shades and tints of colors such as red, yellow, and blue? It's complicated! And: you don't really need those little rivets on your blue jeans, do you? There's a word for decorative elements that no longer serve a practical purpose: skeuomorphs. All that, along with butter of antimony, vein vs. vain, sugar of lead, euchred figs, two bits, mess and gaum, an apt nickname for a garbage disposal, a quiz about family secrets, and lots more.

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Diane Ladd, Legendary Actress, Starring in “Isle of Hope” About Harvey's guest: Today's special guest, Diane Ladd, is a legendary actress whose monumental body of work includes some of the most critically acclaimed and beloved movies and TV shows ever made. She's been nominated for 3 Academy Awards for her performances in “Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore”, “Wild at Heart” and “Rambling Rose”, in which she and her daughter, Laura Dern, made show business history as the first mother/daughter duo to earn Oscar nominations for the same film. She's won dozens of international awards including The British Academy Award, the Golden Globe Award, the Independent Spirit Film Award, the Susan B. Anthony Award, and the Palme d'or Award at the Cannes Film Festival. She's been nominated for 3 Emmy Awards for her performances in “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman”, “Grace Under Fire” and “Touched by an Angel”. In addition to her Oscar-nominated roles, some of her most iconic movie performances can be seen in “Chinatown”, “A Kiss Before Dying”, “Christmas Vacation”, “The Cemetery Club”, “Mrs. Munck, which she also wrote and directed, “Ghosts of Mississippi”, “Primary Colors”, “Joy”, and one of my all-time favourites, “The Last Full Measure”, directed by Todd Robinson who appeared on our show last year. And, in addition to the 3 TV shows I already mentioned, for which she earned Emmy nominations, she's delivered some of her most memorable television performances in dozens of shows including “Chesapeake Shores”, “Kingdom Hospital”, and “Enlightened”, once again co-starring the wonderful Laura Dern. She's written 2 bestselling books entitled, “Spiraling Through the School of Life: A Mental, Physical and Spiritual Discovery”, and “A Bad Afternoon for a Piece of Cake”, which won the 2014 Tennessee Williams Literary Award. And I'm very excited that she's here to talk about her newest film, entitled, “Isle of Hope”, an unforgettably poignant and moving film about a mother-daughter relationship that takes a dramatic twist when the mother has a life threatening stroke and wakes up thinking she's living 15 years in the past. Our guest's performance as Carmen Crawford, the mother in this film, is generating enormous Oscar buzz throughout the industry. And that's no surprise to anyone. After all, the renowned film critic Richard Corless of Time Magazine said it best, when he wrote that this woman is one of the top ten actresses not only in America, but the whole world.

Part 2 of 3. In this episode, I read the middle portion of an essay I have written, which could become a chapter in a future publication. (Read in three parts.)Abstract:This essay charts how the term harmony came to be used by European and North American artists, designers, and educators as a qualitative descriptor of color usage and design. Originating in metaphysics and philosophy in BCE Greece as a method to link the functioning of the five senses, including color vision, the concept entered into the vernacular of design via architecture during the Italian Renaissance. Throughout the 19th and early 20th Centuries, theorists and educators claimed the authority to define objective harmonies in color usage and design; forming methodologies that have been ubiquitous in practice over the past 100 years. The final section of the essay, A New Canon, places the work of color theorists, Mary Gartside and Emily Noyes Vanderpoel in historical context so as to examine how their inclusion (and by extension, additional underrepresented color theorists and practitioners) may help us to understand how we may expand our contemporary approaches to color usage in all creative visual fields.

A Way with Words — language, linguistics, and callers from all over
Centuries ago, monks who took a vow of silence still had to communicate about routine matters, from gardening to equipment repair. So they developed their own sign language, with hundreds of gestures for various words and ideas. Plus, how do speakers of different languages identify similar colors such as red, yellow, and blue in various languages? It's complicated! And: you don't really need those little rivets on your blue jeans, do you? Those flat metal disks are leftovers from an earlier time, when jeans were worn by mine workers and cowboys. There's a word for decorative elements that no longer serve a practical purpose: skeuomorphs. All that, along with butter of antimony, vein vs. vain, sugar of lead, euchred figs, two bits, mess and gaum, an apt nickname for a garbage disposal, and a quiz about family secrets!
