Look, I am not saying an MBA might be a waste of your time and an egregious waste of your money... well.. MAYBE - BUT I know it is the best choice for many people. BUT on the other side, it is NOT the best choice for a great many other people who want to grow in business, especially as a Product Manager. This episode explores the depths of why this is true, and why a degree may also be valuable - it depends on what it is you want. Join Courtney as she chats with Richard Dyer, a law student turned Product Manager. He taught himself SQL, and pivoted that into analytics, and that into product. You can learn and work hard and get where you want to go. Promise. And if you don't believe me, believe Richard. No hard feelings. Psst.. don't believe everything you think.

https://notesonfilm1.com/2022/06/21/in-conversation-with-richard-dyer-on-judy-garland/ I wanted to talk to someone about Judy Garland as soon as I saw the BFI program celebrating the 100th anniversary of her birth, 'Judy Garland Reborn'. And who better to talk about Judy to than Richard Dyer? The conversation is an informal one, a recorded zoom call between friends, that then cuts off at the end as soon as the 45 minute zoom time-limit ends. But it does cover a lot of ground: her artistry, her persona, her significance to gay men, her performances in various films, her duet with Barbra Streisand...and much more.

In this episode, each of your hosts bullies the other into watching a movie he would normally not touch with a bargepole. Phil has been (unsuccessfully) trying to get JF to watch Vincente Minnelli's 1953 musical comedy The Band Wagon and JF has been (also unsuccessfully) trying to get Phil to watch Panos Cosmatos's 2018 psychedelic horror film Mandy. For this episode, they decided they would compromise and watch both. What started as a goof ended up a fascinating Glass Bead Game from which emerge occulted correspondences between films that, on the surface, could not be more dissimilar. One film is a dream of song and dance, the other a dream of blood and violence. Either way, though, watch out: as Deleuze says, "beware of the dreams of others, because if you are caught in their dream, you are done for."

A fresh look at the ancient world. Natalie Haynes, critic, writer and reformed stand-up comedian, brings the ancient world entertainingly up to date. In each of the four programmes she profiles a figure from ancient Greece or Rome and creates a stand-up routine around them. She then goes in search of the links which make the ancient world still very relevant in the 21st century. Episode 1: The worst dinner party in history. Natalie investigates the work of the writer Petronius, creator of the infamous Satyricon, later made into a film by Fellini. It's all about excess; as a vegetarian, Natalie's particularly revolted by the way in which the Romans insisted on making edible food look disgusting. With satirical cartoonist Martin Rowson, Fellini fan Richard Dyer and historian Victoria Rimell. First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2014.

This week on The Spectator Film Podcast… The Band Wagon (1953) 12.19.19 Featuring: Austin, Maxx Commentary track begins at 9:30 — Notes — “The Band Wagon” by Joe McElhaney from Senses of Cinema — Review of The Band Wagon from Senses of Cinema. “Minnelli, Vincente” by Joe McElhaney from Senses of Cinema — Great director profile from Senses of Cinema. “Two-Faced Woman” outtake from The Band Wagon — An excised song from the film. This number further emphasizes Cyd Charisse’s liminal position between Art and Entertainment, and the sets utilize the same art style found in the Isle of the Dead sketch transition. “Ghost singer India Adams appears” by Susan King from Los Angeles Times — This article’s surprisingly brief given its fascinating subject matter, but it still manages to shed some light on India Adams and the practice of ghost singing in Hollywood musicals. “The self-reflexive musical and the myth of entertainment” by Jane Feuer — This links to a PDF of a tremendously insightful essay discussing the concept of spontaneity within the musical genre. Feuer’s discussion of the musical’s valorization of spontaneity and improvisation is incredibly helpful for any examination of The Band Wagon. Genre: The Musical edited by Rick Altman — This is a truly fantastic anthology of essays on the (mostly American) musical. I’m not quite sure if it remains in print, but if you can get your hands on it we highly recommend picking it up. “Vincente Minnelli” by Thomas Elsaesser and “Art and Ideology: Notes on Silk Stockings” by Robin Wood were both helpful in guiding our discussion for this week, but The Band Wagon is mentioned by several more essays as well. We’ll include some relevant passages below: “Vincente Minnelli” by Thomas Elsaesser “For what seems to me essential to all of Minnelli's films is the fact that his characters are only superficially concerned with a quest, a desire to get somewhere in life, i.e. with any of the forms by which this dynamism rationalizes or sublimates itself. What we have instead, just beneath the surface of the plots, is the working of energy itself, as the ever-changing, fascinating movement of a basic impulse in its encounter with, or victory over, a given reality. The characters' existence is justified by the incessant struggle in which they engage for total fulfillment, for total gratification of their aesthetic needs, their desire for beauty and harmony, they demand for an identity of their lives with the reality of their dreams. Minnelli's films are structured so as to give the greatest possible scope to the expansive nature of a certain vitality (call it ‘will', or libido) – in short, to the confrontation of an inner, dynamic, reality and an outward, static one” (15). “Minnelli's typical protagonists are all, in a manner of speaking, highly sophisticated and cunning day-dreamers, and the mise en scene follows them, as they go through life, confusing – for good or ill – what is part of their imagination and what is real, and trying to obliterate the difference between what is freedom and what is necessity… What, in this context, characterizes the Minnelli musical is the total and magic victory of the impulse, the vision, over any reality whatsoever. The characters in his musicals transform the world into a reflection of their selves, into a pure expression of their joys and sorrows, of their inner harmony or conflicting states of mind” (15). “Thus defined, the world of the musical becomes a kind of ideal image of the medium itself, the infinitely variable material substance on which the very structure of desire and the imagination can imprint itself, freed from all physical necessity. The quickly changing décor, the transitions in the lighting and the colours of a scene, the freedom of composition, the shift from psychological realism to pure fantasy, from drama to surreal farce, the culmination of an action in a song, the change of movement into rhythmic dance – all this constitutes the very essence of the musical. In other words, it is the exaltation of the artifice as the vehicle of an authentic psychic and emotional reality. Minnelli's musicals introduce us to a liberated universe, where the total freedom of expression (of the character's creative impulse) serves to give body and meaning to the artistic vitality of the director, both being united by their roles as metteurs en scene of the self” (16). “The paradox of the musical, namely that a highly artificial, technically and artistically controlled décor and machinery can be the manifestation of wholly spontaneous, intimate movements, or the visualization of submerged, hardly conscious aspirations, becomes not only Minnelli's metaphor for the cinema as a whole, but more specifically, it makes up his central moral concern: how does the individual come to realize himself, reach his identity, create his personal universe, fulfill his life in a world of chaos and confusion, riddled with social conventions” (16-17). “Art and Ideology: Notes on Silk Stockings” by Robin Wood “The validation of ‘entertainment as against ‘art.’ ‘Entertainment’ – as something to be passively absorbed rather than actively participated in, dedicated to the discouragement of awareness – is a central ‘bourgeois-Capitalist’ concept and one inherent in the Hollywood musical as a genre, surfacing in the case of individual films as an explicit concern. The overt, if often only superficial, anti-intellectualism of a number of Hollywood musicals… is obvious… Art, both classical and avant-garde… is belittled and ridiculed because it is potentially disturbing and subversive and because it demands active concentration. Entertainment gives people what they ‘really want’ – the kind of temporary escape and distraction that prevents their dissatisfactions from reaching articulation” (63). “This particular ideological project is neatly epitomized in the ‘That’s Entertainment’ number in The Band Wagon, which explicitly reduces all cultural achievements indiscriminately to the same level of innocuousness. (Cyd Charisse’s ballet-dancing in the same film can be presented straight, partly because she is a woman and ballet is regarded as a feminine art, partly because ballet here is decorative rather than disturbing, hence poses poses no challenge to the entertainment concept.) The blatancy of this is concealed beneath an appeal to debased democratic principle: Entertainment is anti-elistist because it is what anyone can appreciate without much effort” (63-64). The Routledge Dance Studies Reader [2nd Ed.] edited by Alexandra Carter — We didn’t feature this book during our conversation, but it’s still worth mentioning for the two insightful pieces by Richard Dyer and John Meuller analyzing the ‘Dancing in the Dark’ sequence. If those pieces are any indication, this is a useful volume for anyone looking to learn more about dance.

Episode 20 welcomes Professor Richard Dyer (Emeritus Professor of Film Studies, King's College London and Professorial Fellow in Film Studies, University of St Andrews) to the podcast, joining Chris and Alex to discuss the popular British animated television series Peppa Pig (Neville Astley and Mark Baker, 2014-). Comparing the programme to the work of modernist painter Henri Matisse and filmmaker Béla Tarr, they examine questions of episodic seriality, simplicity and realism in character design, and the politics of niceness, as well as the idea of children as a social construct via the inscription of ‘the child’ into the animated media text. We also talk about Daddy Pig’s big tummy and the joy of jumping in muddy puddles.

本期嘉宾重轻（知乎@重轻）吐槽了「中国有XX」式综艺节目的隔靴搔痒本质，以及其对身体-艺术作品直接感受力的阻挠。 邮箱：bukelilun@outlook.com 重轻的播客：联客 宝婷开头提到的学术观点来源： Daniel Boorstin 在写广告影响下的美国文化著作 The Image: A Guide to Pseudo (1961)中提到，人们出名只是因为他们出名，而非因为他们伟大。 Richard Dyer 在其写「造星」的著作 Stars (1998) 中提到，造星过程中的成功神话（success myth）试图调和四个矛盾成分：明星的特点是平凡 、节目会对真正的才华和特别之处有奖赏机制 、有很大运气成分的走红可能发生在任何人身上、成为明星需要努力和专业性。 Richard Dyer 提出 “rhetoric of authenticity” 概念，在电影中，观众试图寻找演员展露不受控反应的「真实的瞬间」，而这种瞬间恰恰经常是通过特写镜头实现的。 电视节目制作人、研究者 Jon Dovey (2000) 提到，真人秀是高度建构的（constructed, mediated）。后现代主张认为，电视展示的「真实」是一种文化危机，它要不断循环地表达自己存在。现实主义有强大的吸引力，节目让「真实的瞬间」发生在高度建构和受控的环境中。 Christoper Dunkley (2002) 提过类似观点：The phrase “reality TV” is ultimately silly. John Ellis 在 Visible Fictions: Cinema, Television, Video (1992) 中提出 「TV」的概念和修辞学：电视在日常生活中出现的形象，代表着熟悉感、亲近感，它使「造星」能够在家庭氛围中进行，高度建构的「造星」成为了自然的人格传达。 重轻老师提到的概念： 综艺对应的英文：Variety Fixation：弗洛伊德提出「固着」概念，指一个人幼年未解决的问题固着心中，挥之不去，日后的经历无一不会将他带回此未解的心结 Rave music / Rave culture 苏珊·桑塔格《反对阐释》：桑塔格批评了极度简单化的权威阐释，当代的阐释方式分离了内容和形式，导致伤害了艺术作品本身和人们对其的感官体验。提倡用感受力，用一种更加直接的、不加伪装的看待事物的方式，主张在欣赏艺术作品的时候，不是去理解和分析，而是去感觉，“reveal the sensuous surface of art without mucking about in it.” 提到的综艺节目、作品： 嵐 & 柚子 - 夏疾風 (18.12.05 FNS 歌謠祭 第1夜) Saturday Night Live 汽车主题节目：Top Gear、The Grand Tour 美国亚文化主题类垂直节目：Bands of America、 So You Think You Can Dance 天下足球 即刻电音 （节目中插入的片段为第一期 Panta Q 郭曲表演片段） 电音节目 Boiler Room 北京的电音Club：DADA Bar、Lantern、招待所 独立游戏 Celeste （蔚蓝） BGM： 東京スカパラダイスオーケストラ - Paradise Has No Border feat.さかなクン Lena Raine - Golden Lena Raine - Resurrections Lena Raine - Reach for the SummitSpecial Guest: 重轻.

Abstract Spatially and temporal marginal characters in a narrative may not be marginal in terms of meaning and affect. While a marginal character may be incidental, providing an interlude or local colour, he or she may also either, in their marginality deliberately and unintendedly indicate the social parameters of the world of the narrative, or may even constitute a concern that is both central and inadmissible to it. These dynamics of marginality will be discussed through the role of black and gay characters in La dolce vita (Italy 1960 Federico Fellini). Biographical Note Richard Dyer has an MA from the University of St Andrews and a PhD in Cultural Studies from the University of Birmingham. He was Professor of Film Studies at the University of Warwick and King’s College London and Professorial Fellow at St Andrews.

His work has focused on issues of entertainment and representation and the relationship between them and he has pioneered work on the musical, stars, lesbian and gay cinema and culture, whiteness and popular European cinema, as well as writing books on pastiche, music and film, serial killing and the films Brief Encounter, Seven and La dolce vita. His books include Stars, Only Entertainment, The Matter of Images, White, The Culture of Queers, Pastiche, Nino Rota, In the Space of a Song and Lethal Repetition: The Serial Killer in European Cinema.

Science has proven that Julia Roberts’s smile shows more teeth than any other human’s (except possibly Brian’s). Is this the key to her movie star longevity? Quite possibly they got her her start. But something more must have kept this woman in our hearts for so many years. NOTTING HILL attempts to answer this question and many more. An awkward Brit bookshop-owner (Hugh Grant) is unexpectedly snogged by a movie star who seems very much like Julia Roberts (Julia Roberts). What follows is the most self-consciously meta romantic comedy of all time in which one movie star plays herself and the other pretends not to be.a movie star. Julia/Anna may be just a girl standing in front of a boy, and this may be just another formulaic Richard Curtis joint, but there’s enough commentary on stardom here to fuel a dozen monographs by Richard Dyer.

When the English concert pianist Joyce Hatto died in 2006, she was remembered as a national treasure for the brilliant playing on her later recordings. But then doubts arose as to whether the performances were really hers. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll review a surprising case of musical plagiarism, which touched off a scandal in the polite world of classical music. We'll also spot foxes in London and puzzle over a welcome illness. Intro: In 1964 a British meteorologist found an abandoned whaleboat on the most remote island in the world. Scores of dogs have jumped to their deaths from the bridge approaching Scotland's Overtoun House.

Richard Dyer on the most important personal lesson he learned from his time away from Our Town~ ". . .how special it was growing up here in Washington DC. At a time where the country was going through tremendous amount of change with the Civil Rights Movement and my parents were able to get a little bit more opportunity as a result of that, which allowed us to have a slightly better opportunity because we had a better education. That . . .expanded my vision of what my life could be. . .I was gifted with as a result of growing up here in Washington, a diverse international city where people have contributed from all walks of life, all cultures, all races for decades, was confidence." Richard Dyer, President and General Manager WUSA-TV, and Andy Ockershausen in studio Andy Ockershausen: This is Andy Ockershausen and this Our Town, and we have a re-visitor to Our Town, a man who was born here, who appeared and left for a while. But he came back, and we're so happy that Richer Dyer who is the President and General Manager of WUSA TV. Unfortunately, Richard, I sometimes call it WTOP, but CBS and Channel 9, there's a reason they call it the Tiffany Network because it's such a class organization. And WUSA is a model ... what I grew up with, is the Washington Post, a class organization. Thank God you came back. Back to Our Town from WLWT, NBC affiliate, in Cincinnati, OH Richard Dyer Well, I'm really happy. I'm blessed because when I left 15 and a half years ago, I wasn't sure this would happen. The circle completing itself for me has been an amazing gift. I'm so happy about it. I went off and left and joined the Hearst Television Company for 15 and a half years as a General Manager, and I'm able to take that great experience and come back to my home town, where my parents are. My dad just turned 82 on Saturday. So we celebrated with family and friends and that something that we weren't able to do when we lived in Cincinnati. Andy Ockershausen: He's got to be extremely fond of you, I mean. Richard Dyer Extremely, yeah I really- Andy Ockershausen: It's a fact. He wasted all that money sending you to college, I know that. And Richard, but you learned while you were away, and now I want to talk about that. What did you learn while you were away that you brought back with you, that you think is the most important lesson. Lessons Learned While Away from Our Town Richard Dyer I think there are a couple of things. There's a lot of professional lessons. But the most important personal lesson for me is how special it was growing up here in Washington DC. At a time where the country was going through tremendous amount of change with the Civil Rights Movement and my parents were able to get a little bit more opportunity as a result of that, which allowed us to have a slightly better opportunity because we had a better education. That better education expanded my vision of what my life could be. So the one thing I really understand that I was gifted with as a result of growing up here in Washington, a diverse international city where people have contributed from all walks of life, all cultures, all races for decades, was confidence. That's the one thing that I saw models of people, for example, Walter Washington as a mayor in the seventies. Andy Ockershausen: Our Town. Walter. Absolutely. Richard Dyer We saw- Andy Ockershausen: Bennetta. I mean, they were Washingtonians. Richard Dyer Entertainment coming through in the 70's with WHUR as a new voice in the 70's. Andy Ockershausen: Absolutely. Radio, I know it well. Richard Dyer My parents are native Washingtonians, they grew up- Andy Ockershausen: Riggs Park you said? Richard Dyer No. My dad grew up at 12th and U. Andy Ockershausen: Oh, wow! Richard Dyer And my mom grew up at 4th and W. Andy Ockershausen: I know those neighborhoods.

With Antonia Quirke. Lambert Wilson, the star of a new bio-pic of Jacques Cousteau, The Odyssey, reveals why he could not lose enough weight to play the scrawny explorer, and why he ended up dreaming of bread. Diving expert and author Tim Ecott explains how, as well as inventing the aqua-lung that allowed divers to plumb the depths, Cousteau developed camera technology to show the world the underwater wonders he was witnessing. As part of the BBC's Gay Britannia season, Radio 4 is running a series on Queer Icons. What's surprising is that so many queer icons were household names and national treasures before male homosexuality was partially decriminalised 50 years ago. The Film Programme takes a peek inside British cinema's own celluloid closet with the help of Briony Hanson, Matthew Sweet, Richard Dyer and Gavia Baker-Whitelaw.

In the second of a long-form interview double bill, Dario talks to Professor Richard Dyer about is career and work. Professor Dyer's writing and scholarship has been extremely influential across Cultural Studies and Film Studies with recurring foci on the politics of representation, ideology and class, gender and sexuality, race, stardom to name just a few. His intellectual curiosity is infused with a identity politics that often centres around the difficult, contradictory relationship between cultural production and social reality. His work is hugely relevant to today's issues and in this interview Professor Dyer is generously self-reflexive in looking back, with a critical eye, over his long and distinguised career. 

www.JaysFromtheCouch.com @JaysFromCouch presents Episode 95 of the Jays Nest Podcast, which brings you a much more pleasant episode than we had feared since the Toronto Blue Jays avoided being swept by Cleveland in the ALCS. But, the series has been a disappointment thus far, seeing the good guys down 3-1. We dissect all of the fallout from an odd little series, including what has been going wrong. From there, we talk San Francisco Giants with Richard Dyer of The Giants Cove. Richard is a great guest and we talk lots of baseball. We wrap up our episode by welcoming Hunter Mize of Prinstant Replays, whose company offers some very interesting memorabilia. If you're looking for something for that special Blue Jays fan, Hunter has some cool things for you.--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jays-from-the-couch-radio/support
