Podcasts about Revolutionary Road

Reuniting the Titanic team of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet (not to mention Kathy Bates) was something audiences had wanted for more than a decade. Maybe they didn't expect another doomed romance that was also bleak and sad. Revolutionary Road is about middle-class ennui, quiet desperation and the cruelty of hope. And the stars are terrific playing unextraordinary people yearning for something else, even if everybody keeps poo-pooing their plan to move to Paris. Director Sam Mendes' movie was a disappointment at the box office and it didn't get a wealth of Oscar nominations either. The film ages well though...maybe more if you're a certain age. Ryan's solo show talks about how a 50+-year-old can relate better to the themes than his 34-year-old self could. The flick isn't fun, but it's very well done...and Winslet has rarely been better. So before your wife screams at you to leave her alone during a vicious argument, pour yet another glass of alcohol as you drink in the 681st episode here on Have You Ever Seen.

【主播的话】作家宁远有着多重身份。她写小说——《莲花白》《米莲分》初入文坛便摘得多项大奖；她做品牌——创办生活方式品牌“远家”，从服装到书店，十余年如一日，如今已成为成都的一处文化地标。她曾是高校教师、电视台主持人、话剧演员；如今，她还是三个孩子的母亲。在上个月出版的小说《写父亲》中，宁远又呈现出另一重身份：女儿。从父亲的离世写起，这本书描绘了一位女儿对父亲和故乡的深情回望——一位沉默勤恳的乡村老人，穷尽一生托举女儿，让她走出村庄、踏上求学之路，进入更辽阔的世界。然而，离开故乡是否就意味着生活更有意义？答案并不确定。书中，父亲被塑造成一种语言、一个来处、一方土壤，以及一份生命的参照。女儿的书写既是告别，也是新的开始。这本书很难简单定义——它既像小说，也像自传。宁远似乎有意模糊虚构与真实的界限。《写父亲》的扉页写着：“亲爱的曼拉，我准备写下全部，然后告诉别人，这是小说。”几个月前的纽约寒冬，我与宁远第一次聊起这本书的出版计划。等我真正读到它时，已是盛夏酷暑。在将近40度的成都，我们在水街的“远家”相聚，完成了这次对谈。宁远说：“写小说的人不提供答案，不为到达，只是一直走在路上。”【本期主播】王磬：微博@王磬【本期嘉宾】宁远：也叫宁不远。创作小说《米莲分》、《莲花白》，散文集《爱与平常》、《素与练》等。曾任高校教师、电视台主持人、话剧演员。2010年创办女装品牌「远家 YUANJIA」。微博@宁远宁不远【本期剧透】06:50 在某种意义上，虚构能比非虚构抵达更多真实11:17 人类为什么热衷于给死亡赋予意义？19:37 即便写下来痛苦也不会过去，痛苦即是你的一部分22:06 撕裂的返乡：知识分子身份优越感的虚妄30:24 母亲身份的轮回，「刺猬式生存」是底层母亲的智慧35:26 写作是一种劳作，作家是怀着作家的心进入生活的人39:12 在 31 岁生育后辞职：「不愿女儿成为当时的我」43:28 用肉身体验这个世界，并将经历材料化，小说和我的生命无法分开48:48 成都是个有「角落」的地方，公共文化空间永远流动生长【相关阅读】《写父亲》（2025）作者：宁不远该书以女儿视角回溯父亲沉默勤恳的一生，通过父亲作为猎人、电力先行者、创业者的多重角色，展现特定历史时期的社会变迁。作品从父亲心肌梗死住院切入，记述其经营酒厂等经历，穿插暴雨夜维修变压器等家庭互动细节。书中将父亲塑造为“语言、来处、土壤、参照”的多重象征，通过书写行为实现代际记忆的对话与自我身份的重构。《莲花白》（2023）作者：宁不远作品书写一段上世纪九十年代发生在三个女生之间的微妙情谊。故事发生在一座因为修建水电站而即将被淹没的县城。“我”和县城中学的明星学生李美成为最好的朋友，但这并不是一个“天才女友”的故事。我因为偶然撞破李美的一次盗窃行为，引来了全校无声的霸凌，几近崩溃。这一切因为李美的死亡和我的转学而中止，但它对我的影响持续了半生并导致了我的抑郁症状。多年以后，我决定回乡，向中学时代的阴影告别，但，真的能告别吗？《米莲分》（2022）作者：宁不远我妈米莲分，黑山村唯一的裁缝，也是第一个骑摩托的女人。她走路快，做衣服手艺好，喜欢种花。我不知道我爸是谁，也不知道她去过的省城是什么样。我的邻居阿西婆婆，从老高山上嫁来黑山村的彝族女人，麻风病把她的丈夫和孩子带走了。她总吃头痛粉，每晚都睡在一口棺材边，还给自己挖了座坟。我的朋友秀宝，左手有一块砍猪草时留下的疤。为了帮家里交“超生费”，她卖了自己的辫子。月经初潮后，她跑了，我不知道她过得怎么样。三代女人的春秋冬夏，“我”只能打捞出一点点。《回归故里》（2020）作者：迪迪埃·埃里蓬父亲死后，作者回到阔别三十年的家乡兰斯（Reims），并重新反思了自身过往经历、家乡及其周边地区的境况。从家人、家乡工人阶级民众的生活，女性长辈被剥夺的权利，到兰斯这一区域的被边缘化，相对主流文化而存在的“亚文化”……迪迪埃·埃里蓬关注的是阶级壁垒中下平民阶层的生活，是“被侮辱和损害的人”，是使他们获得“启蒙”的可能。《比利林恩的中场战事》(2016)Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk导演：李安伊拉克战争时期，来自美国德州的19岁技术兵比利·林恩（乔·阿尔文 Joe Alwyn 饰）因为一段偶然拍摄的视频而家喻户晓。那是一次规模不大却激烈非常的遭遇战，战斗中林恩所在的B班班长（范·迪塞尔 Vin Diesel 饰）遭到当地武装分子的伏击和劫持，而林恩为了营救班长不惜铤而走险冲锋陷阵。视频公布于世让他成为全美民众所崇拜的英雄，然而却鲜有人理解他和战友们所经历的一切…… 本片根据作家本·方丹（Ben Fountain）的同名小说改编。《婚姻故事》（2019）Marriage Story导演：诺亚·鲍姆巴赫讲述了结婚多年并育有一子的戏剧导演查理和女演员妮可因工作分居而不得不走向离婚，在这场为了争夺抚养权的离婚拉锯战中，关于爱情、婚姻和家庭真实感人的细枝末节牵动人心。两人的关系又将何去何从？《坠落的审判》 (2023)Anatomie d'une chute导演：茹斯汀·特里耶桑德拉（桑德拉·惠勒 Sandra Hüller 饰）、萨穆埃尔（塞缪尔·泰斯 Samuel Theis 饰）以及他们视力有障碍的儿子丹尼尔（米洛·马查多·格拉纳 Milo Machado Graner 饰）在偏远山区生活了一年。一天，萨穆埃尔在房子外面被发现死亡，警方立即展开了涉嫌命案的调查。在不确定的情况下，桑德拉被控：这是自杀还是谋杀？一年后，丹尼尔参加了母亲的审判，这也是对他父母关系的真正剖析。

Town Board also approves Glassbury sales price The Philipstown Town Board on Thursday (Aug. 7) agreed to poll residents about implementing a tax on property sales in which the proceeds would be used to protect open spaces, wildlife habitats and other natural resources through land purchases and conservation easements. Ted Warren, the public policy manager for the Hudson Highlands Land Trust, informed the board that revenue for the Community Preservation Fund would be generated through a transfer tax of up to 2 percent, paid by buyers on the portion of a property purchase exceeding the median price for home sales in Putnam County. That is, if the median price is $500,000, a house that sold for $700,000 house would be taxed on $200,000. People buying homes for less than the median price would be exempt. Philipstown took the initial step toward the fund by in August 2023 by adopting a Community Conservation Plan. But Supervisor John Van Tassel said then that the idea of a new tax during the pandemic "did not settle well" with the board. In addition, said Warren, a survey of Philipstown residents conducted by the Trust for Public Land showed "a lot of ambivalence" about a fund. On Thursday, Van Tassel said the "time is right" to revisit the idea, with the goal of having a referendum ready for the 2026 general election. "There have been several parcels that this fund could have really secured for conservation protection," he said. Under the Hudson Valley Community Preservation Act, a state law that gives municipalities in Putnam and Westchester counties the authority to create conservation funds, the money would be administered by a five- or seven-member advisory board of volunteer residents. Proposals to create funds in other towns have faced opposition, usually from the New York State Association of Realtors, said Warren. He said the tax could be considered an "investment" for people buying property in Philipstown. "It's a very small amount, compared to what they're probably paying for that home," said Warren. "It is a way of saying, 'You know, we're moving to this community and this is our little investment in allowing the town to have this flexibility.' " Glassbury Court At its Aug. 7 meeting, the Town Board approved a maximum sales price of $547,558 for one of the 10 Glassbury Court units set aside as affordable housing. It also agreed to waive a requirement that the buyer be approved by an "affordability consultant." Under Philipstown's approval of the Quarry Pond Planned Development District for the construction of Glassbury Court, the maximum price at which the affordable units can only be sold is capped by a formula, and buyers must be approved by the consultant. Because the town does not have an affordability consultant, it agreed to allow the owners of 11 Revolutionary Road to sell to any buyer. State parks letter A letter approved by the board will be sent to state parks and the Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail raising concerns about the safety of hikers who use Fair Street and Route 9D to walk from the Cold Spring Metro-North station to the trails in the Hudson Highlands State Park Preserve. A draft written by Van Tassel originally accused HHFT of "directing the general public to walk along the shoulder of Route 9D." He agreed to change the wording after a board member, Jason Angell, noted that advisories to visitors about construction-related closures do not use those words, and that there are alternative routes. According to the letter, titled "Dangerous Condition on Route 9D Caused by HHFT," the closure of the Breakneck train station and parking north of the tunnel, and limited parking at the Washburn trailhead lot, means more visitors catch Metro-North to Cold Spring and walk through the village to the trails. Van Tassel reiterated his proposal that the state and HHFT install sidewalks on Route 9D. Nat Prentice, one of two candidates running unopposed for seats on the Town Board, said he and other volunteers at the ...

On the forty- fifth episode of All the Film Things, my friend Emmy- award winning photojournalist Cole Echevarria is back for the third “wide- released” edition of our segment, Film Finds! The “Film Finds” segment is ATFT in its most casual, spontaneous form as we talk about the films we've recently watched with nearly nothing prepared. The last time we did a “Film Finds” episode was exactly a year ago (give Episode 23 a listen) and the first “wide- released” Film Finds episode was Episode 3 (so check that one too while you're at it)! Like previous Film Finds episodes, I mostly talked about older films I discovered and Cole, the frequent theater- goer, mostly focuses on newly released films he has seen so far this year.This is Cole's record- breaking 19th appearance on ATFT! He is far and away the most frequent guest on the show and has proven to be a fan- favorite. Not only is Cole one of the biggest champions of ATFT, he makes this podcast fun and brings out a less- serious version of myself. He won an Emmy last year for his work on the news package “Waiting for Rebuild” for First Coast News. As always, we do banter a bit but it is a little more sporadic this time around. This episode was recorded on June 10, 2025. In this episode, Cole and I discuss the films we have recently discovered as well as films we've recently rewatched. Cole talks about important characters in Wes Anderson films as well as his new film The Phoenician Scheme (2025). This discussion leads us to debate whether or not Wes Anderson is an auteur and then to me once again raving about Pedro Almodóvar who was helmed as cinema's “greatest auteur”. I talked about my recent viewing of Mr. Klein (1976) which left me rattled as well as recent rewatches of Tokyo Story (1953) and Revolutionary Road (2008). Cole later reveals his surprising new hobby and how that ties into the comfort film he dreams to remake one day. All this and more on the new episode of ATFT!Background music created and used with permission by the Copyright Free Music - Background Music for Videos channel on YouTube.

Crecer leyendo a cuentistas convierte a Tamara Silva Bernaschina en creadora de mundos de 15 páginas, en constructora de hondos personajes en muy poco espacio. Ella es una de esas escritoras capaces de relatar grandes historias en relatos breves. Tamara tiene 25 años. En 2023, con 'Desastres naturales', empezó a cobrar notoriedad y ganó dos importantes premios de narrativa uruguaya. Al año siguiente, el Nacional de Literatura en la categoría de ópera prima. Escribió una novela, 'Temporada de ballenas', y recibió mención de honor en el concurso literario Juan Carlos Onetti. Esta tarde ha venido a presentarnos 'Larvas', editado en España por Páginas de espuma, un libro de relatos inquietantes en los que mezcla realidad y psicomagia, lo que podríamos considerar una forma contemporánea del realismo mágico.Con Laura Fernández viajamos a Iowa City, una pequeña ciudad universitaria del Medio Oeste estadounidense, donde se formó el escritor Andre Dubus. Alumno de Richard Yates —autor de 'Revolutionary Road', novela que inspiró la película en la que se reencontraron Leonardo DiCaprio y Kate Winslet—, Dubus se convirtió en experto en retratar relaciones fracturadas y matrimonios en caída libre.La primera vez que Keith LaMar habló con RNE desde el corredor de la muerte fue en mayo de 2021. Su ejecución estaba prevista para el 16 de noviembre de 2023. Sin embargo, en mayo de 2025, Keith LaMar puede responder de nuevo porque el estado de Ohio ha aplazado su ejecución hasta el 13 de enero de 2027. Ha ganado tiempo para defender su inocencia, para oponerse a la pena de muerte y para publicar un segundo disco de jazz desde la celda, junto al pianista español Albert Marquès. Íñigo Picabea ha conversado con ambos.Y cerramos con cine.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 142 - Michael Shannon - Actor Actor Michael Shannon (THE BIKERIDERS, GEORGE & TAMMY, MAN OF STEEL) joins us in this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast. We worked with Michael on REVOLUTIONARY ROAD, and we had a wonderful time catching up with him. Michael shares how he first stumbled into acting, which early-career play of his took him from a tiny theatre in Chicago to the West End and Off-Broadway, and why the experience of actors coming up today is so unlike his own. We also discuss his longtime collaborative relationship with director Jeff Nichols (Season 1, Episode 28), and we reflect on his penchant for projects concerning the end of the world. We also discuss his work in TAKE SHELTER, and we learn how Michael coped with sleeping in an abandoned building during the shoot. Throughout the conversation, Michael shares his opinions on rehearsing, remaining in character after a long day, and repetitive takes, and after learning Michael just directed his first film, we ask if his perspective as an actor has changed at all. - Recommended Viewing: TAKE SHELTER - This episode is sponsored by Profoto & Aputure

Episode #300: Three panelists explore the complexities of Myanmar's revolution against military oppression, diving into its tactical, logistical, and humanitarian challenges. Our guests include Anthony Davis, a security analyst with extensive experience in conflict zones such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Philippines; Azad, an internationalist from the United States who spent nearly a year working with resistance groups in Chin State and has prior experience in northeastern Syria; and Marc LeQuieu, a field strategist with broad expertise across Africa and Asia, who has provided tactical and logistical guidance to Myanmar's resistance since the early days of the conflict.They discuss the grassroots origins of the resistance, born from peaceful protests and evolving into armed defiance against the junta. This transformation brought early struggles with mistrust between ethnic armed organizations and newly formed People's Defense Forces, stemming from decades of ethnic tension. Despite these divisions, the resistance grows stronger through strategic adaptation and grassroots unity.The panelists then highlights the significant obstacles Myanmar's revolution faces, including a lack of external support from neighboring countries and global powers, forcing the movement to rely on domestic efforts. They examine the logistical challenges of sustaining the fight, from resource shortages to the high cost of essential equipment like ammunition. Yet, technological advancements, such as encrypted communication and drones, have bolstered resistance capabilities, showcasing innovation in the face of adversity. Ethnic divides remain a critical issue, complicating unity among resistance groups. Some progress has been made through alliances in regions like Chin State, yet mistrust and competing interests still hinder broader cohesion.Beyond strategy, the panel delves into the profound humanitarian crisis. Millions of civilians endure displacement and deprivation, placing immense strain on the resistance. Yet despite these challenges, Myanmar's revolutionary spirit remains unbroken. The panelists stress the need for trust-building, improved coordination, and a vision for federalism to sustain the movement and shape a post-conflict Myanmar. Ultimately, the revolution is fueled by resilience, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to liberation in the face of overwhelming odds.

We return this week to one of the Oscar years we bemoan the most, 2011, to talk about Jeff Nichols' Take Shelter. After Michael Shannon landed a surprise acting nomination for Revolutionary Road, it seemed he'd somewhat cornered the market on onscreen psychosis.

Actress and writer Meghann Murphy (host of The Oscar Should Have Gone To) joins for a look back at James Cameron's Oscar-winning romance TITANIC starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet and Billy Zane. Set aboard the ill-fated vessel, the story finds a newly-engaged first class passenger Rose (Winslet) falling for a free-spirited artist (DiCaprio) in third class. Cameron's ambitious epic, (pitched as "Romeo and Juliet on the Titanic"), was a fraught production, racking up a then all-time record budget of $200 million dollars and sparking speculation that it would be a box office disaster. Upon release in December of 1997, TITANIC remained number one at the box office for 15 consecutive weeks, racked up 14 Academy Award nominations, won 11, and launched DiCaprio and Winslet into the ranks of superstardom. Congrats, you've won a ticket aboard the our detailed reassessment of this Valentine's Day staple, along with diversions into Amadeus, May December, Revolutionary Road, Bradley Cooper, Saltburn, Lars von Trier and much, much more!  TITANIC is currently available to stream with subscription to Paramount+

fWotD Episode 2381: Leonardo DiCaprio.Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Saturday, 11 November 2023 is Leonardo DiCaprio.Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio (, ; Italian: [diˈkaːprjo]; born November 11, 1974) is an American actor and film producer. Known for his work in biographical and period films, he is the recipient of numerous accolades, including an Academy Award, a British Academy Film Award and three Golden Globe Awards. As of 2019, his films have grossed over $7.2 billion worldwide, and he has been placed eight times in annual rankings of the world's highest-paid actors.Born in Los Angeles, DiCaprio began his career in the late 1980s by appearing in television commercials. In the early 1990s, he had recurring roles in various television shows, such as the sitcom Parenthood, and had his first major film part as author Tobias Wolff in This Boy's Life (1993). He received critical acclaim and his first Academy Award and Golden Globe Award nominations for his performance as a developmentally disabled boy in What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993). DiCaprio achieved international stardom with the star-crossed romances Romeo + Juliet (1996) and Titanic (1997). After the latter became the highest-grossing film at the time, he reduced his workload for a few years. In an attempt to shed his image of a romantic hero, DiCaprio sought roles in other genres, including the 2002 crime dramas Catch Me If You Can and Gangs of New York; the latter marked the first of his many successful collaborations with director Martin Scorsese.DiCaprio continued to gain acclaim for his performances in the biopic The Aviator (2004), the political thriller Blood Diamond (2006), the crime drama The Departed (2006) and the romantic drama Revolutionary Road (2008). He later made environmental documentaries and starred in several high-profile directors' successful projects, including the action thriller Inception (2010), the western Django Unchained (2012), the biopic The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), the survival drama The Revenant (2015)—for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor— the comedy-dramas Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) and Don't Look Up (2021), and the western crime drama Killers of the Flower Moon (2023).DiCaprio is the founder of Appian Way Productions—a production company that has made some of his films and the documentary series Greensburg (2008–2010)—and the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, a nonprofit organization devoted to promoting environmental awareness. A United Nations Messenger of Peace, he regularly supports charitable causes. In 2005, he was named a Commander of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres for his contributions to the arts, and in 2016, he appeared in Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world. DiCaprio was voted one of the 50 greatest actors of all time in a 2022 readers' poll by Empire.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:39 UTC on Saturday, 11 November 2023.For the full current version of the article, see Leonardo DiCaprio on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Kimberly Neural.

In Great American Novel Podcast Episode 22, we wrestle with the old Thoreau quote "The majority of men lead lives of quiet desperation" as we delve into the soul-sapping mid-century suburbs in Richard Yates' 1961 novel Revolutionary Road.  Join the hosts for a  conversation that considers other suburban chroniclers such as Updike and Cheever and other  treatments from the film adaptation to Mad Men to Seinfeld.  Ultimately the hosts have to confront this essential question: not whether they should move to France, but whether we can call Revolutionary Road a Great American Novel?  Listeners are warned: there be spoilers here. The Great American Novel podcast is an ongoing discussion about the novels we hold up as significant achievements in our American literary culture.  Additionally, we sometimes suggest novels who should break into the sometimes problematical canon and at other times we'll suggest books which can be dropped from such lofty consideration.  Your hosts are Kirk Curnutt and Scott Yarbrough, professors with little time and less sense who nonetheless enjoy a good book banter.  All opinions are their own and do not reflect the points of view of their employers, publishers, relatives, pets, or accountants. All show music is by Lobo Loco.  The intro song is “Old Ralley,” and the outro is “Inspector Invisible.”  For more information visit: https://locolobomusic.com/.  Revolutionary Road film dir. Sam Mendes, 2008.We may be contacted at greatamericannovelpodcast (@) gmail.com.

Released in 2008, Sam Mendes directs this adaptation of the Richard Yates novel.

Donald slides into the third episode of Seinfeld's second season, “The Jacket.”He talks about his love for art within the “Age of Anxiety.” He also rants about toxic masculinity, taking care of suede, and why he'll never give up hope on Kate Winslet & Leonardo DiCaprio coupling. Here are the books and authors discussed in this episode: Les Misérables by Victor Hugo (1862) Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates (1961) Catch-22 by Joseph Heller (1962) The Age of Anxiety by W.H.Auden (1947) Symphony No. 2 : The Age of Anxiety by Leonard Bernstein “Nighthawks” by Edward Hopper (1942) Stephen King Celeste Ng Kali White VanBaale

Theatre and film director Sam Mendes first made his mark when he launched London's Donmar Warehouse theatre in the early 90s. He has won Olivier and Tony Awards for numerous productions including Cabaret, The Ferryman and most recently, The Lehman Trilogy. He made his cinematic debut directing American Beauty in 1999, and won the first of two Oscars - the second was for the war film 1917. He also directed the two James Bond movies Skyfall and Spectre, and was knighted in 2020. Sam tells John Wilson about his earliest memories of feeling the thrill of live performance, at the London production of Godspell in 1971. Later, how the work of Shakespeare came alive for him while watching productions at the RSC, and in particular, a memorable performance of Antony and Cleopatra starring Michael Gambon and Helen Mirren. He reveals how his directorship of the Donmar Warehouse, which established his reputation as a ground-breaking theatre director, all began with a chance late night stroll around Covent Garden. Seeing Wim Wenders' 1984 film Paris, Texas was to be a formative influence on Sam when he eventually came to direct his debut feature American Beauty and later films including Jarhead and Revolutionary Road. Casting the actor Daniel Craig in his second film Road to Perdition, despite a poor audition was to have a significant impact on both their careers. Sam also talks about moving into writing and making more personal films including 1917 based on the war stories of his grandfather, and Empire of Light, partly inspired by his childhood experiences of witnessing his own mother's struggles with her mental health.

Kate Winslet starred in two Oscar contenders in 2008 (the other opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in Sam Mendes's "Revolutionary Road"), but she won Best Actress for her portrayal of an illiterate Nazi in the Best Picture-nominated "The Reader," which grapples with guilt, our relationship to the past and the nature of evil. Yes, it is, as critic Amy Nicholson called it, a "Serious Film" (capital S, capital F).

“WE'RE NEVER GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS, OKAY?” On this week's episode of Retro Grade Podcast, we talk about 2007's 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, from Romanian filmmaker Cristian Mungiu starring Anamaria Marinca and Laura Vasiliu. Over the past few weeks, the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, giving states the ability to make abortions illegal to millions of people. We wanted to watch a film that covered that same scenario, and try to see the challenges that those characters went through to try and get an abortion. We go over the story, which see's Gabita trying to get an abortion during the1980s in Romania where they are illegal, and what her friend and roommate Otilia does to help her. We cover the setting, the structure, pace, tone and see how they all add to create a thriller that resembles a few other films that we have talked about on this podcast. We cover how the film was shot, with many long takes to add to the realism of the film and how the cinematography was used to put the viewer directly in the head of Otilia as she is constantly running into obstacles. We talk about the themes of the film, not only about what it says about abortions, but about oppression towards woman, the tactics some men will use to establish dominance over women, but also the camaraderie and friendship that will arise between women when facing oppression. Towards the second half of the episode, we begin to go over the real life setting that the film is based on, how Romania fell into economic turmoil, and how this lead to Decree 770, the decree by communist Romanian government of Nicolae Ceausescu. It restricted abortion and contraception, which did double the birth rate in the first few years, but would also increase the death toll of women from having illegal abortions, and increased the number of orphans in the country. We also try and see why so many films about unplanned pregnancies were released in such quick succession during 2007 (Knocked Up, Juno, Waitress, 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, and lastly Revolutionary Road). This is the most difficult film we have covered on the podcast, but thankfully we have a special guest that will help shed even more light on this topic, Victoria, co-host of the Impure, Rethought podcast which covers how purity, patriarchy, and profit have shaped Western culture, be sure to give them a listen!Music is from Triune Digital and audio clips pulled from movies we will be reviewing in other episodes.Artwork by @jannelle_o

t's all about Kate Winslet in this next installment of ‘They Won For That?'. Sophia and Nick break down her illustrious career, from her rich domestic dramas such as ‘Revolutionary Road' or ‘Little Children' and blissfully romantic fare in an Oscar Wild favorite, ‘The Holiday,' to pinpoint exactly why they love Kate as an actress. Then, they talk about her Oscar win for ‘The Reader' (14:54) before they each give their own picks for what they think should have won her an Oscar, either instead of or in addition to her deserved statuette (30:18).Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @oscarwildpodFollow Sophia @sophia_cimFollow Nick @sauerkraut27Music: “The Greatest Adventure” by Jonathan Adamich

The year is 2009 and the nominees are: 1. Melissa Leo - Frozen River 2. Anne Hathaway - Rachel Getting Married 3. Angelina Jolie - Changeling 4. Meryl Streep - Doubt 5. Kate Winslet - The Reader - In 2009 Kate Winslet FINALLY won her Oscar for The Reader (I say FINALLY because by the time she won she should have already had at least 1 Oscar (probably for Sense & Sensibility or The Tanic')). Originally Winslet wanted to go supporting for The Reader and lead for Revolutionary Road but the Academy insisted on doubling down (no nomination for Revolutionary Road) on The Reader in a lead category. This was one of my favourite years to discuss for this podcast, each performance was incredible in its own way. Anne Hathaway became a first time nominee in Rachel Getting Married playing a manic narcissist who insists on always being the centre of attention. Melissa Leo in Frozen River delivers a gritty performance of a woman who smuggles people across the Canadian border in order to make ends meat. Meryl Streep gives another knockout performance in Doubt as the head nun/principal of a catholic school who suspects the priest (Philip Seymour Hoffman) of molesting a student. Angelina Jolie received her first lead nomination in Changeling playing the real life Christine Collins whose child went missing and is replaced by an imposter child by the LAPD. Join host Kyle Brownrigg with guest host Fiona O'Brien (Saint*) as they discuss.

We are releasing some of our classic older episodes for the next few weeks. This episode was originally released in September 2019. David Harbour is an American actor from New York who has performed in film, television, and the theatre. He is best known for his role as Chief Jim Hopper on the Netflix original series, Stranger Things and the lead in the new adaptation of HELLBOY He is also known for his role as CIA agent Gregg Beam in Quantum of Solace, Shep Campbell in Revolutionary Road alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, Van Hauser in End of Watch and Dexter Tolliver in Suicide Squad Trying to arrange interviews for the podcast is often challenging, all our guests have extremely busy schedules and finding a time and place to record can be tricky. We tried really hard to meet up with David while he was fleetingly in the UK at the tail end of 2018, but we just couldn't make it work. However, David is a wonderful man and promised to work out some time for us in January whatever his schedule. So, we finally sat down at Acast studios a few weeks back and recorded our first episode live from New York via Skype, which we've tried to keep as natural and authentic to our own experience in the room listening through the headphones. We discussed David's exploits living in Bristol, England when he was just 16, having been back there recently to shoot HELLBOY. We talk about working in theatre and the impact on David's life now being in a huge show like Stranger Things. David speaks openly about his mental health and the new book he is writing he hopes will open up more discussion around the subject.
