Podcast appearances and mentions of Rodney Ascher

With the latest series of the much-discussed drama The White Lotus recently wrapped up, Screenshot asks why cinema and TV make so many return visits to hotels as a setting.Whether sinister and scary like in The Shining or Psycho, fabulous but faded like The Grand Budapest Hotel, or comically chaotic like in Fawlty Towers, hotels offer a myriad of possible opportunities for drama. Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode check in to check out their rich history on screen. Ellen talks to film critic Hannah Strong about the timeless appeal of screen stays from the 1932 classic Grand Hotel to The White Lotus - and about how directors Wes Anderson and Sofia Coppola have made hotels the focus of some of their most famous films. Ellen also speaks to Sean MacPherson, hotelier, cinephile and co-owner of the storied Hotel Chelsea in New York City, about the glamorous allure of historic hotels - and the impact of the movies on hotel design. Mark speaks to writer and critic Anne Billson about the seedier - and scarier - side of hotels on screen, from the Coen Brothers' 1991 cult classic Barton Fink, to the 1990 Roald Dahl fantasy The Witches. And Mark also talks to director Rodney Ascher, whose 2012 documentary Room 237 explored Stanley Kubrick's The Shining from the unusual points of view of a number of theorists - all of whom seem to have checked into the film's Overlook hotel and never been able to leave.Producer: Jane Long A Prospect Street production for BBC Radio 4

Rodney Ascher is an American film director, best known for Room 237 (2012), A Glitch in the Matrix (2021) and The Nightmare (2015).

Although best known for being a wildly popular author, the late Michael Crichton had a rather intriguing career as a screenwriter and movie director. Riding high after successes like Coma and The Great Train Robbery, Crichton set his sights on a satirical noir-ish chase thriller known as Looker. And every member of Generation X saw it at least once on HBO.

Happy Halloween from I Like to Movie Movie! This year's seasonal treat marks the first time in Movie Movie history that we're revisiting a movie that we've already covered. Longtime fans will remember that our very first episode was a discussion of Stanley Kubrick's terrifying masterwork, THE SHINING! Things are a bit different in the House of Movie Movie these days, but one thing remains the same: One of our hosts is a horror nut, and the other…not so much. Can Dan repeat the magic of converting someone into a horror junkie? Will Stephen find a way to enjoy being scared? Tune in to find out! We discuss the craft, thematic structure, and effectiveness of one of the loosest-but-most-successful Stephen King adaptations while also integrating the ideas put forth in Rodney Ascher's atypical documentary, ROOM 237. Come back in two weeks for coverage from the upcoming Philadelphia Film Festival (filmadelphia.org) and then again two weeks later for our conclusion of this series, in which we'll be discussing Mike Flanagan's impossible sequel, DOCTOR SLEEP. As always, please leave us a review wherever you listen, and follow us on Instagram and Twitter @moviemoviecast.

In our brand new, patron-voted mini-series for the FoG, we are covering a handful of horror documentaries, starting with a film that is arguably more frightening than any fictional film we've ever discussed. Rodney Ascher's terrifying film THE NIGHTMARE explores the mysterious and haunting reality of sleep paralysis through the stories of 8 individuals who have suffered from it. In addition to being an utterly horrifying prospect, the questions remain about why so many stories have such strong similarities and whether or not there are supernatural drivers behind the horror. After bracing ourselves for discussing the film's particulars, we then navigate into a vulnerable dialogue about the ways our restful and comforting sensibilities can be stolen from us and how we might find the courage and the power to reclaim them.Also featuring a miniature discussion of the episode of the CURSED FILMS series about the Poltergeist films for our Patron section, this is a heartfelt discussion we believe you won't want to miss, even if you ultimately decide the film is just a bit too scary...4:43 - Business TimePatron Only Segment: CURSED FILMS: Poltergeist #tvguideposts7:31 - THE NIGHTMARESee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

David and Tamler explore the many variations of simulation theory, the view that our universe is just a computer generated model created by an advanced civilization that has reached “technological maturity.” What does the growing popularity of simulation theories reveal about contemporary life? Are any of the arguments for simulation theory compelling or are they just post-hoc ways of justifying what you already believe on faith? If we are living in a simulation, does that mean we can go around killing people? Would it change anything about how we should live? Rodney Ascher's (Room 237, The Nightmare) excellent documentary "A Glitch in the Matrix" gets the discussion going. Plus the return of the VBW does conceptual analysis segment - a careful, rigorous, systematic inquiry into the concept “cringe.”* *Note: if you think the opening segment is itself cringe, that's because we're doing seventh dimensional Zoomer meta shit and you just didn't get it.

A Glitch in the Matrix is a 2021 American documentary film directed by Rodney Ascher on the topic of simulation theory/hypothesis. While I'm at it, I also rank the four feature-length docs he's made thus far. Check out the ranking here.

The Nightmare is a 2015 American documentary film directed by Rodney Ascher on the topic of sleep paralysis, which your humble podcast host has also experienced.

Room 237 is a 2012 American documentary film directed by Rodney Ascher about interpretations of Stanley Kubrick's film The Shining (1980) which was adapted from the 1977 novel of the same name by Stephen King. I am very sorry about the stupid intro to this one

Documentary filmmaker Rodney Ascher tackles this question "are we living in a simulation?" with testimony, philosophical evidence and scientific explanation in his for the answer.

¿Vivimos en una simulación? Hoy os hablo de "A Glitch in the Matrix", un documental sobre la Teoría de la Simulación dirigido por Rodney Ascher, que fue presentado en la última edición del Festival de Sitges. Y sobre Nick Bostrom, el efecto Mandela y los recuerdos de historias alternativas de Philip K. Dick, las fake news y la promoción del nihilismo por los medios de comunicación de masas.

In the first of a three-part 'Smart Dust Investigates' series, we will take you on an adventure through the possible truths behind one of techs biggest (and possibly craziest) theories - “Is it possible that we live in a simulation”? Elon Musk believes we are living in a sim – he says “There is a billion to one chance we are living in a true base reality.” While popular physicist Neil deGrasse Tyson says it is “very likely” that our universe is a simulation. Tune into part 1 - Introduction to the SIM Theory debate: Interview with Rodney Ascher, Director of Sundance hit doco 'A Glitch in the Matrix'. Be prepared to have your mind stretched.

Director Rodney Ascher's debut 'Room 237' offered up some wild theories about interpretations of Stanley Kubrick's visionary masterpiece 'The Shining.' His latest documentary, 'A Glitch in the Matrix' is equally fascinating.

Nightmares. Sleep paralysis. Stuff that freaks us out. Good and evil. Rodney Ascher. Is this a documentary or a glorified TV movie?

Recorded 03/16/21 This week we discuss the new documentary A Glitch in the Matrix by Rodney Ascher, simulation theory, jerking off (for MAGIC, not sin), and bunch of other branching topics. ___________________________ BIO: An anti-capitalist cultural commentary broadcast emanating from the vocal fried ruins of a bygone era. Each week Holland and Erik navigate the digital cesspool, diving head first into the abyss, hoping they will one day reach true enlightenment.

Rodney Ascher is an American documentary filmmaker, perhaps best known among us horror fans for ROOM 237 - a documentary that focuses on the exhaustively diverse amount of theories surrounding The Shining. Rodney's other projects include The Nightmare, a terrifying deep dive into sleep paralysis, and Primal Screen, about childhood fears of characters that fall in the uncanny valley. Rodney's latest movie, A Glitch in the Matrix, explores the widely reported phenomena of Simulation Theory, the terrifying idea that human life is a big simulation as portrayed in The Matrix. Guys, this movie was fantastic; all of Rodney's movies are amazing - he's one of the most fascinating documentarians out there, so definitely check out his other movies like Room 237 and Nightmare, but run don't walk to see A Glitch in the Matrix. It's extremely unique, fascinating, and as always, Rodney's directorial style is downright hypnotic. Also, if you're even remotely interested in this notion of simulation theory, I suggest checking out the Reddit thread, also titled, A Glitch in the Matrix, if you really want to get freaked out by some first-hand accounts of this alleged phenomenon. This is my second interview with Rodney, and in my first, we get into his director origin story and more of his techniques and processes as a filmmaker, so if you're interested in that, go check out episode 36. In this interview, Rodney and I focused almost exclusively on A Glitch in the Matrix - I always enjoy speaking to him; here, without further ado, is master documentarian Rodney Ascher.    Thank you for listening!

Rodney Ascher is a filmmaker and one of the most unique and interesting documentarians working today.  His career was kickstarted by an 8 minute docs-short called THE S FROM HELL. Sidenote: this film is awesome. It focuses on this bizarre phenomenon where an entire generation of children were terrified of a seemingly innocuous corporate logo. The 1964 screen gems logo that is considered as the scariest corporate logo in history.  In it we hear first hand accounts of people who were terrified by the logo and its accompanying music which was considered by many to be demonic. It's a great watch, and you can find it easily if you Google The S from Hell.  Anyway, next, Rodney directed perhaps his best known doc, ROOM 237, which focuses on the exhaustively diverse amount of theories surrounding THE SHINING. This is another fascinating watch. Rodney's other projects include: THE NIGHTMARE, a terrifying doc about Sleep Paralysis, and THE EL DUCE TAPES, about the shocking frontman of the band the mentors. His next documentary A GLITCH IN THE MATRIX will focus on the idea of simulation theory - the belief that all of reality is a digital simulation similar to THE MATRIX.  All of his work is extremely unique and transcends traditional documentary formats. By relying mostly on archival footage to spin the narratives, hypnotic music and sound design, and palpably cerebral sensibility, Rodney's documentaries have a very cinematic and Kubrick-esque feel to them and are great watches.  The common theme amongst his films is the subjective human experience, as his documentaries are less interested in being journalistic and more focused on gaining insights into the human condition through individual perspectives.  He is a fascinating filmmaker who I'm a huge fan of and I really enjoyed speaking with him.    Directors & Films Mentioned:    Craig Baldwin Bruce Conner - Tribulation 99     Books  In the Blink of an Eye by Walter Mirch On Directing Film by David Mamet Shock value by John Waters    Misc    Red Letter Media Review of Star Wars  Jungian Philosophy   ----- Produced by Simpler Media

In this episode, Will and I watched The Shining (1980) - but not the way you traditionally watch it. We watched the film Front to back and Back to Front. . . at the same time! We took inspiration from the wonderful visual essay ROOM 237 by Rodney Ascher by making our own installation piece from the instructions set from a particularly interesting chap. He managed to superimpose the film in reverse and it played through in real time. We copied that process and, in this episode, we review what we saw. ENJOY!

Adapted from a novel by Stephen King, Stanley Kubrick The Shining (1980) tells the tale of Jack (Jack Nicholson), Wendy, (Shelley Duvall) and Danny (Danny Lloyd) Torrance, a family who spend a winter at the Overlook Hotel in Colorado. Jack plans on writing a book but, instead, battles the inner demons of alcoholism and anger, slowly going mad perhaps with the help of the ghosts of the Overlook...Directors Keith Gordon and Vincenzo Natali join Mike to discuss Stanley Kubrick and The Shining as well as the many interpretations of the films (as presented in works like Rodney Ascher's Room 237 and Rob Ager's Collative Learning series).Along with Ascher and Ager, cameraman Douglas Milsome and Steadicam operator (and inventor) Garrett Brown reminisce about working with Stanley Kubrick.Learn more about your ad choices.

With Halloween coming next week, we’ve put together the most terrifying, blood-curdling episode of The Dissolve podcast to date—relatively speaking, anyway. We start by talking about the trend-hopping of the horror genre: Why do certain types of horror movies come in waves—from “torture porn” to found-footage to haunted houses—and where do we hope the genre goes from here? With The Shining coming up as our next Movie Of The Week, we interview Rodney Ascher, the director of Room 237, a terrific documentary that compares and contrasts the many far-out theories advanced by the film’s most obsessive fans. What is it about this particular film, more perhaps than any other in Stanley Kubrick’s career, that inspires such a range of interpretations? The game this week is “Reel Estate,” in which panelists are given descriptions of memorable houses and buildings and asked to name the movie in which they appeared. Then Noel Murray and Nathan Rabin are asked for their scariest recommendations for 30 Seconds To Sell. (They’re not that scary, frankly.)

Heeeeeere's Julie! It's ROOM 237 week on How Was Your Week, as this episode is all about THE SHINING and the kooky theorists that form the backbone of the aforementioned documentary. Julie spends the hour or so talking to ROOM 237 director Rodney Ascher and producer Tim Kirk about why THE SHINING might be about, among other things: the faking of the moon landing, the Holocaust, the massacre of Native American people, and how phalluses can lurk anywhere and everywhere, including in letterboxes. Plus, how Whole Foods is an enemy to Passover, the challenges of dressing and feeding oneself, a dumb thing to say to cat-chatting Construction Workers, Tilda Swinton's box-napping, Optitex memories, and a salute to Richard Jeni.
