Weapons: Episode 357 - Last night at 2:17 our listeners got out of their beds, subscribed to this podcast, and then we never heard from them again. A lot of people die in really weird ways in this Podcast, because we're talking about the newly released horror film WEAPONS - Only on Normies Like Us! What the fuck!?

What’s this? An actual good movie that people have heard of! What are we thinking?! Well, we attempt to jump out of our comfort zone of watching obscure or weird toned movies and see if we have anything to say about Akira Kurosawa’s masterpiece Rashamon. And it turns out, like always, we have a lot … Continue reading "352: Rashomon [1950] Movie Discussion"

In this episode Paul, Kieran and I have a conversation about the Akira Kurosawa film, 'Rashomon', having watched this Japanese classic for the first time.
Hirokazu Kore-eda's film 'The Truth' appeared this week, it stars Catherine Deneuve, Juliet Binoche and Ethan Hawke with a new score by Alexi Aigui. That much is fact. Matthew Sweet features music for films that explore the notion that sometimes the stories we are presented with are very far from the truth. Music in the programme is taken from the films ‘The Innocents’, ‘The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari’, ‘Gone Girl’, ‘The Girl On The Train’, ‘Rashamon’, ‘The Lone Ranger’, ‘Amarcord’, ‘Detour’, ‘Possessed’, ‘Stage Fright’, ‘Memento’, ‘Notes On A Scandal’ and ‘American Psycho’. Plus, of course, music from the new film.
Allison Kaplan Sommer, Noah Efron and Wunderkind critic Ohad Zeltzer-Zubida discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. Looking to support the podcast and hear the extra segment? --Déjà Vu All Over Again?-- What are Israel’s third-time-this-year Knesset elections about, anyway? Did we learn anything from our failed first two elections? --Rashamon of Rashomons-- Is the love-him-or-hate-him acrimony over Prime Minister Netanyahu really a struggle between “First Israel” (well-heeled, secular Ashkenazim) and “Second Israel” (pretty much everyone else)? --Fearless-- Do native born Israelis just not “get” anti-semitism? --Donald Trump's Very Strange Jewish Week-- For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra segment, we discuss Donald Trump's very strange Jewish week, during which he gave a speech to a Jewish group saying that, caring about money as Jews do, they could never vote for a candidate who will raise their taxes, and during which he issued a decree seeking to redefine Judaism as a protected class, which led many Jews to argue, with confused consternation, that only Jews get to define Jews, buster! All this and the big band funk of Rosh Groove! --Music-- Rosh Groove Ham (חם) Ani Zokher (אני זוכר) Yom Yafeh (יום יפה) Zeh ha-Rega (זה הרגע)
Allison Kaplan Sommer, Don Futterman and Noah Efron discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. --Smile!-- Some Israelis think that PM Netanyahu’s plan to have cameras in polling places will destroy democracy, while others think it will save it. Why the Rashamon? --What, Me Vote?-- Seven in ten Israelis vote. What’s with the other three? --Politics of Pieties and Pieties of Politics-- Angry ultra-Orthodox feminists say that progressive, secular do-gooders fighting for their rights are messing up their game and setting back their cause. Do they have a point? --Is Trauma a Key to Understanding Israeli Politics?-- For our most extremely generous Patreon supporters, we discuss journalist Matti Friedman’s socko, controversial pre-election column in the Times, The One Thing No Israeli Wants to Discuss. Is trauma a key to understanding Israeli politics? All this and the happy hipness of Beatnik! --Music-- Beatnik (ביטניק), in celebration of their new record, Seret Ahavah Mitz (מיץ) Ahuvati (אהובתי) LeSapper Lach Emet (לספר לך אמת) Seret Ahavah (סרט אהבה)
Joseph Suss Oppenheimer became the “court Jew” of Carl Alexander, Duke of Wurttemberg in 1733. When Carl Alexander died, Oppenheimer was put on trial and condemned to death for his “misdeeds,” and on February 4, 1738, was hanged in front of a large crowd just outside Stuttgart. He was not allowed to give testimony at his own trial and left no written record of the case; we know little of his biography. Yet he remains an iconic figure to this day, not only as emblematic of the relationship between Jew and the early modern state, but together with Alfred Dreyfus and Shakespeare's Shylock, in the long history of anti-semitism as well. While previous authors have chosen to limit themselves to barebones-facts or resorted to fictional accounts of Oppenheimer's biography and trial, in The Many Deaths of Jew Suss: The Notorious Trial and Execution of an Eighteenth-Century Court Jew (Princeton University Press, 2017), Yair Mintzker reinvestigates the case of the “Jew Suss” in light of new sources, as well as by incorporating the lives of four contemporary voices, eyewitness accounts that act as mirrors in which we can grow to see more of Oppenheimer himself. Fascinatingly, rather than presenting a unified narrative, these four voices often come into conflict with one another. The judge-inquisitor Philip Friedrich Jager; university professor and convert from Judaism, Christoph David Bernard; Mordechai Schloss, who wrote the only contemporary Jewish account of the case; and, finally, David Fassman, Oppenheimer's first biographer. While Oppenheimer's case stands as the narrative thread that brings these four voices together, the thick description of each life exposes overlapping worlds tied together by politics, culture, and theology. And here, the “Jew Suss” acts as a prism to better see the context of 18th-century Germany. Professor Yair Mintzker is professor of history at Princeton University and winner of the National Jewish Book Award in 2017 . Moses Lapin is a graduate student in the departments of History and Philosophy at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, his life can be accurately described as a Rashamon.
