On today's episode: three films that ask the question: yes, but at what cost? Albeit in very different ways. We're talking "Him," Spike Lee's Kurosawa re-imagining, "Highest 2 Lowest," and our first trip to the early Alts with Robert Altman's "Mash." At least one of these films was fun to watch.

This is an episode near and dear to Jason's heart, as Eric and he connect again to discuss three movies by Jason's favorite director, Robert Altman. Eric loves Altman's work too, and the guys love to tackle the complicated movies from the great directors, so this week the guys are talking Altman's great mysterious trio of complex female centered dramas: 3 Women, Images and That Cold Day in the Park. No matter how much thought you've given these films, we think you'll come to some new revelations about them (at least Jason and Eric did during the show), plus have a good time while digging deeper.

A NEW RECIPE FOR FOOD MAGAZINES—You may think a magazine called Famous for My Dinner Parties would be about food or entertaining—and I wouldn't blame you if you did. You wouldn't be wrong, but you also wouldn't be right.Taking its name from Robert Altman's film, 3 Women, Famous for My Dinner Parties started as a pandemic-inspired digital project among three friends (Junshen Wu, Sandra von Mayer-Myrtenheim and Yannic Moeken) in Berlin and has evolved into a proper magazine and media brand, and along the way has won an engaged and broad audience far beyond Berlin. Something that continues to surprise the founders.The magazine is slightly odd, if I'm being honest, idiosyncratic, thoroughly compelling, and undeniably beautiful. It's also almost entirely done in house, including all the design, photography and writing. And despite this, or maybe because of it, the thing works. Whether or not this method—or lack of one—is sustainable is another question.And just to be clear, there is not a single recipe in the magazine. Just a whole lot of ideas. This is a magazine then, editorially and conceptually, built around vibes. Fuel for a discussion, perhaps, at your next really great dinner party. Whether or not you aspire to any sort of fame.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Nikki Nash, daughter of musician, trombonist Dick Nash. Now, you may not know the face or the name, Dick Nash but you certainly know his work with Henry Mancini, or should we say Hank Mancini with some of his best known work. Before the Wrecking Crew, Dick and a small group of side-men WERE the Wrecking Crew, playing on hundreds of studio dates for film, TV and major label albums in the 50s and 60s. But as we learn, Dick Nash didn't take every date offered for a very specific reason. Our conversation with Nikki centered around her new book, Collateral Stardust: Chasing Warren Beatty and Other Foolish Things, an autobiography about her life in and around show business that is one hell of a read. Some of the things we talk about in our conversation with Nikki include notable run-ins with everyone from the aforementioned Warren Beatty, as well as Dennis Miller, Louise Lasser, Don Cornelius, Robert Hays, the Black Panthers, Robert Altman and many others. We also discuss long-lost LA restaurants like The Old World and The Luau, the best toast, the job of an A.D. behind the camera, addiction, painting, depression, growing up in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles and much more. Nikki was open, honest, funny, matter-of-fact, attentive and gave us all we could handle in discussing her life and her book. And like her book, our interview was breezy and also had a lot of depth below the surface. But don't take my word for it, take a listen to this episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast and see for yourself. Everyone has a story.

Per completare la nostra monografia chiacchierata di Paul Thomas Anderson mancava solamente il lisergico Inherent Vice, uno dei film preferiti di Simone che si presta molto bene a essere accoppiato a The Long Goodbye di Robert Altman. Entrambi Detective Story sui generis, la combinazione permette anche di evidenziare cambiamenti nell'autorialità hollywoodiana, i collegamenti fra i due registi e ci permette di esaminare un altro legame estremamente importante nella seconda parte della filmografia di PTA, quello con lo scrittore americano Thomas Pynchon, dal cui libro Inherent Vice è tratto il film e che ha ispirato con il suo Vineland l'ultima opera del regista, One Battle After Another. Con Federico Allocca e Simone CortiRiprese Gianlorenzo Bernabò Di NegroMusica e sound design DEMONA alias Andrea Evangelista e Delio GallmannAnimazione sigla Ida CortiLogo design Chiara QuagliarellaPost-produzione audio Matteo FusiCon il sostegno di Associazione La Terza Via e SidereusUn grazie a Raffaele Allocca, Elisabetta Marrocco, Riccardo Romano, Andrea Sestu

100 years ago this year, celebrated director Robert Altman was born. To celebrate his legacy and influence on film, the Criterion Channel has launched a new September series, Directed by Robert Altman. The series includes films like "The Player," "The Long Goodbye," and "MASH." Sean Fennessey, co-host of "The Big Picture" and curator of the Criterion series, joins to discuss. Plus, callers share their favorite Robert Altman movies.

We're plowing ahead five years from last month's pod subject but staying in the low – rent, “B” picture roots of film noir, with just a bit more polish, a little more class (because of a slightly larger budget). While last month's Detour sticks with you, it's because of its rough edges and the kick-in-the-gut noirness of the fated fall of the protagonist (as well as the hyper – meanness of the femme fatale --- Ann Savage indeed!). This month, we look at a film that has an incredible behind-the-camera crew, a great cast with many nice surprises, but also some tendrils that tie it to Detour --- it's 1950's Gun Crazy. The film also ushers in (or joins, depending on your view) the sub – genre of “youngstas on the run” noir, as also exemplified by Nicholas Ray's 1948 work They Live By Night, 1949's Knock On Any Door, Tomorrow Is Another Day in 1951, and continuing the sub-genre into neonoir with Badlands and the remake of They Live By Night, Robert Altman's Thieves Like Us. We're privileged to see sharp writing, wonderful direction, a fabulous ten – minute bit of direct cinema, fine acting, but an inevitable, aching drive down the tracks to a waiting and remorseless fate.Detour came out of Poverty Row Hollywood --- Gun Crazy was hard on its run – down heels. PRC barely fronted the money for Detour, and the King Brothers, Frank and Maurice, were only slightly more generous in working up Gun Crazy's budget (courtesy of the aptly named King Brothers Productions --- which we'll shorten to KBP). This was another Hollywood “B” picture with no delusions of grandeur --- it was going to play on the bottom of the bill or in the sticks. But for the money, KBP floated a film that was packed with talent --- talent admittedly somewhat over a monetary barrel, but talent, nonetheless. What did KBP get for their $400K and thirty days of shooting? Website and blog: www.thosewonderfulpeople.comIG: @thosewonderfulpeopleTwitter: @FilmsInTheDark

We all are familiar, of course, with Robert Altman's classic 1971 movie about the settling of the west, McCabe and Mrs Miller. But most of us, I'm guessing, don't know about another McCabe, this one African-American, the black Moses in fact, who almost created an African -American land in Oklahoma. McCabe's all-too-American story is told in Caleb Gayle's new book, appropriately entitled Black Moses, the saga of Edward McCabe's transformation from a Wall Street clerk to one of the first prominent American proponents of Black sepatism and self-government. What makes McCabe's story so compelling is how close he actually came to success. By the 1890s, tens of thousands of African Americans had followed him to Oklahoma Territory, establishing over fifty all-Black towns. McCabe had learned the art of selling dreams from hotel magnate Potter Palmer in Chicago, and he deployed those skills to convince Black families fleeing post-Reconstruction violence that they could build their own promised land in the American West. It's quite a story. If only Altman was around to transform this quintessentially American tale of a fresh beginning into American cinema. 1. The Power of Using America's Own Language Against ItselfMcCabe brilliantly deployed quintessentially American arguments - westward expansion, self-governance, constitutional principles - to advocate for Black separatism. Like Frederick Douglass before him, he insisted this was "a very American project" and even pitched directly to President Benjamin Harrison, using precedents like the American Colonization Society to make his case.2. How Close America Actually Came to Having a Black StateThis wasn't just a pipe dream - by the 1890s, tens of thousands of African Americans had moved to Oklahoma Territory, establishing over 50 all-Black towns. McCabe's vision of a Black-governed state with Black senators and congressmen was within reach until Oklahoma chose to "become the South" by making Jim Crow segregation its very first law.3. The Entrepreneurial Roots of Black NationalismMcCabe's transformation from Wall Street clerk to separatist leader reveals how business skills could serve radical political ends. Learning to "sell dreams" from hotel magnate Potter Palmer, he became a master at convincing Black families fleeing post-Reconstruction violence that they could build their own promised land.4. The Tragic Pattern of Zero-Sum American PoliticsThe ultimate failure of McCabe's vision - culminating in tragedies like the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre - illustrates how Black success was seen as a threat rather than an achievement. As Gayle notes, this reflects enduring "zero-sum politics" where one group's prosperity is viewed as another's loss.5. Why These "Lost" Stories Matter TodayIn an era when institutions like the Smithsonian face political pressure over African American history, Gayle argues for the importance of telling these stories "beautifully" for popular audiences, not just academics. McCabe's tale of ambition, near-success, and ultimate defeat offers both inspiration and sobering lessons about the ongoing struggle for Black belonging in America.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

A la edad de 75 años ha fallecido la actriz Shelley Duvall que alcanzó la inmortalidad gracias a su interpretación de Wendy Torrance en “El resplandor” (1980) de Stanley Kubrick y que fue capaz de exponer el lado más amargo del mundo del espectáculo cuando pasó a ser un vago recuerdo. Destacó en el Hollywood de la década de los 70 gracias a su presencia anodina, pero a su vez tan extraña como magnética, y fue llevada a la cúspide interpretativa por Robert Altman, su descubridor y mentor, pero se convirtió en un símbolo cultural gracias a su colaboración con Kubrick, quien la llevó al límite personal. Duvall, que brilló también como productora televisiva, luchó durante varias décadas contra su salud mental que llegó a mantenerla apartada de la vida pública. Este reportaje pertenece al programa "El Cine de LoQueYoTeDiga" nº 441 (15x26) y fue emitido el 27 de julio de 2024.

Jason Fraley interviews four-time Grammy winner Lyle Lovett, who performs live tonight at Wolf Trap in Vienna, Virginia. He called in to preview the show and reflect on the best songs of his career from “Cowboy Man” to “If I Had a Boat," as well as working with filmmakers like Robert Redford, Robert Altman and Terry Gilliam. (Theme Music: Scott Buckley's "Clarion")

Lukester: The eternal Familiar Stranger. No one drinks at 8pm here. Liam Neeson and Pameler Anderson are apparently an item, and I have thoughts about it. Fantastic Four had a massive audience drop off in its second week, and I'd be lying if I didn't say it made me “low key” happy. (As the kids say) I saw the Robert Altman movie “Nashville,” and really wished I hadn't.

1920's German expressionist The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari did more than inspire a whole kind of cinema-it also became the great-grandparent of a genre. The mind-bending dive into the psyche genre that saw three of its greatest examples all influence each other: Ingmar Bergman's 1966 Persona which begat in many ways Robert Altman's 1977 3 Women. And all those movies consciously or unconsciously begat David Lynch's 2001 masterpiece Mulholland Drive. Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill takes a look at the journey of inspiration of all these movies as well as side trips to other great examples of the genre like David Fincher's Fight Club, Roman Polanski's Repulsion, and Darren Aronovsky's Black Swan. 

Masculinity on screen, immortality hobbies, and a vigorous debate between homo and hetero ideology are inspired as Matthew Wilder and I wrap our heads around Robert Altman's dreamy 1977 masterpiece 3 WOMEN at Cafe Les Ogres in Paris, France.   For the full 2 hour episode + double the feature adventures + plus exclusive "smoke break" mini eps on topics of the day subscribe to the show at patreon.com/filthyarmenian   Follow on X/insta @filthyarmenian

Pastor Robert Altman visited and preached on Malachi.

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie stars and movie directors! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Sometimes we are lucky enough to even speak with them about their work. And sometimes, they are both a movie star and a movie director. Today that's Embeth Davidtz, director of Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight, now in theaters and expanding this weekend. Our B-Sides include Feast of July, The Gingerbread Man, Mansfield Park, and Bicentennial Man. We speak with Davidtz about her directorial debut, her incredibly diverse acting career, and adapting from the memoir by Alexandra Fuller. There's extended discussion of Robert Altman's direction of actors, the underrated qualities of Feast of July (a Merchant Ivory production!), and the ambitions of Bicentennial Man. Not to mention the incredible high-wire act by Davidtz's in her dual performance in that Chris Columbus sci-fi epic. There are reflections on working with B-Side friend and frequent guest Alessandro Nivola, the legacy of the Miss Honey character from Matilda, and the “trickery” involved in directing a child like Lexi Venter to an incredibly natural performance.

Pastor Derek brings in a friend to talk about biblical giving. Gospel-rooted giving is about approaching generosity with joy rather than obligation. In 2 Corinthians 9, Paul teaches that our resources are like seeds to be sown generously, resulting in a harvest of righteousness. True biblical generosity is voluntary, planned, and faith-based—not pressured, impulsive, or fear-driven. When we give cheerfully, we reflect God's character and experience a unique joy that material possessions cannot provide. Even in seasons of need, generosity remains essential to Christian life, demonstrating our trust in God's provision and our commitment to His kingdom.

In this podcast we are tying into our June conversations on Robert Altman with a debate about his biggest commercial success, the 1970 anti-war satire M*A*S*H. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the many ways in which Altman attempted to redefine and deconstruct the perennial genre of a war movie, how the audiences chose to respond to this over Catch-22 and how this movie spoke to a generation sick and tired of the Vietnam War... despite the fact the movie is set in Korea. We also talk about the busy nature of an Altman set, the conflicting reports on what it must have been like to work for him as an actor and a distinct possibility that a lot of the humour the movie is packed with would go on to enable movies like Animal House and Revenge of the Nerds.Tune in and enjoy!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our patreon at patreon.com/uncutgemspod (3$/month)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and support us by gaining access to this show in full in addition to ALL of our exclusive podcasts, such as bonus tie-ins, themed retrospectives and director marathons!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy Burrows⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Head over to our website to find out more!

We stayed up for three consecutive days without sleep and kept at least one hand on a microphone at all times in order to test our mettle and discuss S.R. Bindler's 1997 "gawkumentary" Hands on a Hardbody, a story of 23 contenstants in Longview, Texas squaring off in a competition of stamina to win a Nissan hardbody truck. Over the course of three days, Bindler and his crew record the ecstasy of victory, the agony of defeat, and the enormity of - as one particularly philosophical contestant puts it - "the human drama thing."We begin with a discussion of commodity fetishism (in the Marxian sense) and how the film explores the mystification of value surrounding the titular hardbody truck and what it means within the lives of all the contestants. Then, we dig into the film's many "characters", how they fulfill or transcend archetype, and how they beguile us with the profundity of their small-town wisdom. Finally, we discuss the feat of Bindler and Co's filmmaking as well as its limits, and how the strain the competition's longevity begins to bleed into the acuity and perceptiveness of the movie itself.Watch Hands on a Hardbody on YouTube.Rent or Purchase Hands on a HardbodyRead Ethan Warren on Hands on a Hardbody at Bright Wall/Dark Room.The Roxie theater in San Francisco is still seeking funds to help buy their building!

In this installment of our Female Psychopath Series, we dive into Robert Altman's 1972 psychological thriller Images, exploring the unraveling psyche of protagonist Cathryn. Is she experiencing a full psychotic break or something more nuanced? We offer a clinical lens on her symptoms and propose a specific psychological diagnosis, while also reacting to the film's surreal tone, eerie visuals, and narrative ambiguity.Blending psychological insight with our usual conversational flair, we untangle Altman's portrayal of dissociation, identity confusion, and trauma-induced hallucinations. We also offer up our personal reactions, theories, and questions about what's real vs. imagined, and why Images deserves a spot in any horror-psychology lover's watchlist.Listen now to explore the disturbing beauty of Images through a psychological lens!Follow Us:
