Podcast appearances and mentions of Robert D Siegel

Based on the incredible true story, Pam & Tommy tackles a major landmark in the early days of the Internet: the leak of Pamela Anderson's (Lily James) and Tommy Lee's (Sebastian Stan) sex tape. Co-showrunner D.V. DeVincentis discusses what surprised him the most while researching the backstory of the case: "Something that continued to come up was... how well [Pamela] dealt with it, considering she's obviously very upset by it. I would have completely lost my mind, and she really kept it together. That was surprising to me - the inner strength of this person that is most often not given a lot of credit." Co-showrunner Robert D. Siegel goes on to share the amount of care that ultimately went into writing Pamela's character: "We were both very, very protective of the character; she's ultimately the hero of the show. There are times during the show when [Rand Gauthier and Tommy] are the protagonists, and then there are times they're also the bad guys.... but we're really with Pam the whole way. It's kind of a love letter to her in a sense." Pam & Tommy is now available to stream on Hulu. Don't forget to subscribe to the Write On Podcast on iTunes!   Now available on Google Podcasts!

Nueva entrega de La Gran Evasión, esta noche presenciamos un combate memorable, EL Luchador, de Darren Aronofsky. La deslumbrante expiación de Micky Rourke y, sobre todo, un extraordinario tratado sobre la soledad, un relato que te deja sin aliento. En The Wrestler, Aronofsky se ha entregado a la historia, ha depurado su estilo, muchas veces artificioso, y lo ha dejado en el hueso, en la esencia, su mejor película sin duda alguna. Un Relato extraordinario, no solo del fracaso o de la derrota, o del éxito perdido; nos enseña el dolor y la miseria que hay detrás de la fama y la gloria. El fracaso de un hombre como Padre, como Esposo, como Amigo…..y sobre todas las cosas The Wrestler es una profunda reflexión sobre la Soledad, la verdadera pandemia de nuestros días…Randy lo ha entregado todo por su única pasión, por su profesión, por ese instante en la cima, por los focos y el griterío ensordecedor de los fans….El Luchador es un documental de la derrota que en 2008 devolvió a Micky Rourke a lo mas alto. La película duele tanto por la verdad y la tristeza que desprenden la interpretación de Micky. El estudio quería a Nicolas Cage, pero Aronofsky tenía claro quién era Randy The Ram Robinson. No podía ser otro que Micky Rourke. Con este actor la historia se vuelve el epítome y la expiación de su propia vida, de su propia caída…..sus excesos y desequilibrios casi lo dejan en la cuneta. En los ochenta fue una estrella mundial, lo tenía todo y todo lo perdió, casi fuera de la industria, acabó mendigando papeles de tercera fila, El Luchador es su absoluta redención. La historia se apoya en otra gran interpretación, Marisa Tomei, ella es Cassidy, una striper en el declive de su carrera, el tiempo la acecha y su foco también empieza a apagarse, las escenas, compartiendo con Randy una cerveza y la nostalgia por los viejos tiempos, son un oasis en medio del desierto de sus vidas. Randy intentó olvidarse de su hija, de su pequeña, y ahora que su cuerpo grita, un cuerpo castigado y podrido, ahora, intenta ajustar cuentas con la vida, y el primer paso es visitar a esa niña que le sonríe desde la vieja foto de la nevera. Toca pedirle perdón, esa niña es ya una mujer, una mujer dolida, resentida, una mujer que no puede soportar otra decepción, genial Evan Rachel Wood, como Stephanie. El pulso narrativo de Aronofsky es soberbio, mezcla planos contemplativos, con momentos practicamente documentales, donde la cámara sigue inquiete la rutina diaria de este gigante torpe y ridículo, que no es capaz de sobrevivir fuera del ring. Mérito de un enorme guión de Robert D. Siegel y la exquisita fotografía de Maryse Alberti. Mientras la banda sonora escupe rock ochentero a toda potencia y la melodía de Clint Mansell destila soledad, la película se mueve por el sacrificio cristiano, la verdad insoportable de los Idolos caídos, el submundo del Wrestling americano, lleno de miseria y camaradería a partes iguales, el único mundo en el que Randy encaja. Con las mallas ajustadas y el sudor perlando nuestros cuerpos embotados de esteroides y cine, representamos nuestra embestida final…José Miguel Moreno, Gervi Navío y Raúl Gallego. Gervi Navío.

The Founder is screenwriter Robert D. Siegel’s scathing portrait of Roy Kroc, the eponymous creator of the McDonald’s Corporation, not to be confused with the McDonald brothers who created, well, McDonald’s. If that sounds as all suss it’s probably because it was. Kroc, as written by Siegel, and played by Michael Keaton, is a shameless anti-hero, an opportunistic businessman who listens more to his motivational tapes than he does to his own conscience, if indeed he has one. The film follows his great ascent (or descent, depending on how you look at it) from a not-so-humble milkshake-mixer merchant to the owner of a giant plagiarised franchise. He’s that kind of smarmy fourth-wall-breaking capitalist who is usually the smartest person in the room. However, Siegel, and director John Lee Hancock, both suggest he might simply be the most “persistent” person working in the food industry, since one of his favourite tapes tells him that neither genius nor talent can ever be a substitute for persistence. In his mind, persisting seems to mean sacrificing your integrity and your personal relationships for money. This is exactly why Dick and Mac McDonald (Nick Offerman and John Carroll Lynch), an honest pair of farmers, chose to abandon their first ill-fated attempt at franchising the business. When Kroc first suggests that they give it another go, they tell him they’d rather run one quality restaurant than fifty mediocre ones, especially since that first one in San Bernardino took them decades to build. While the brothers see their popular “Speedee Service System” as a wholesome masterwork of efficiency, Kroc sees it as a cash cow to be fattened, reproduced and milked for all its worth. Still, Mac thinks that Kroc can do a much better job of the expansion than they did, and Dick thinks that with the right contract he can safely keep Kroc on a leash. Even for those who don’t already know the story, there’s never any doubt how horribly this will end for the brothers. After all, Dick and Mac will always be looking out for each other and their legacy on top of the financial state of the business, while Kroc ticks all the boxes for a character who’s only looking out for himself and his bank account. The most obvious of these, for an ambitious middle-aged man, is the routine long-suffering wife, played here by Laura Dern. A memorable quote from her character in Wild (2014) pretty well sums up much of her recent career: “I've always been someone's daughter or mother or wife. I never got to be in the driver's seat of my own life.” Especially in films like 99 Homes (from the same year) Dern has often played women who’ve had the men in their life make choices for them. Despite her being an incredibly supportive partner, The Founder shows Roy going behind her back to cancel their club memberships, disown their friendship group, mortgage their house, and ensure that she gets no part of McDonald’s Incorporated when he finally divorces her. Her submissiveness throughout most of this makes her one of the least interesting of these characters that Dern has played in recent years, but she makes it work well enough. Still, she’s definitely not as engaging as Kroc’s second wife, Joan (Linda Cardellini), who Kroc courts when she’s still married to one of his new buyers. Once he’s stolen her away, and bought off the McDonald brothers as cheaply as he could, he quite literally has everything he’s ever wanted. By this point, every single character goal that Siegel sets up for him has been achieved (Given that this a true story, I don’t think this counts as a spoiler). For some reason, the last shot is of his big new bedroom mirror, which he looks into tearfully before going outside with Joan. I never took this character to be the crying type, but I hope they were tears of some twisted joy. If that was meant to be some sudden moment of feeling empty, remorseful or self-reflective, it was far too late to bring that in. The Founder might be a true story, but it’s hardly a human story. It’s actually quite cerebral and subversive in the way it questions the myth of the American dream. It’s essentially a cautionary tale against large scale enterprise, especially when Kroc starts comparing those big yellow McDonald’s arches to the Christian cross, and by extension suggesting that capitalism is America’s new religion, with franchise outlets as the new churches. This link is drawn even more strongly given that last year Keaton starred in Spotlight, the rather forgettable Best Picture winner about the corruption inside the Catholic Church. In its own way, The Founder is an even more chilling and timely reminder of what you can get away with once you have enough money and real estate to bury your crimes under.   Written by Christian Tsoutsouvas

Robert D. Siegel, Associate Professor of Microbiology and Immunology, addresses the basic question of "What is a virus?" and looks at the special properties that distinguish viruses from more conventional forms of life. (July 9, 2009)
