John Jennings—Hugo Award winner, New York Times bestselling author, curator, scholar, and Artist—is keenly aware that in adapting novels for the graphic format, his decisions turn what has only been imagined into facts drawn on the page. In this conversation with critic, translator, and teacher of a creative course on the art of making comics, Jean-Christophe Cloutier, Jennings explores how he makes those decisions that range from the design of endpapers to selecting a character's skin tone with the ultimate aim of championing Black culture and Black comics. Given that Jennings has just entered the Marvel Universe with the debut of Silver Surfer: Ghost Light, the timing is right to reflect on the pressures and pleasures of adapting beloved stories for a contemporary audience. Jennings is both teacher and student of comics' powerful lessons, and lucky for listeners, his course comes with an illustrated syllabus, aka illabus. In the podcast's first ever episode about graphic novels, Jennings and Cloutier talk comic book history, the power of collaboration, and the importance of long showers.

Lina Wertmüller's 1975 film Seven Beauties stars Giancarlo Gianini as Pasqualino Settebellezze of Pasqualino of the Seven Beauties.

It's no secret that dudes rock. But lesser known is the fact that the ladies? They rock sometimes two. My first female guest, Brianna Snyder, joins me to talk about Éric Rohmer's The Green Ray and Lina Vertmüller's Seven Beauties. As we discuss, I started doing a Letterboxd. You can keep abreast of my dumb opinions on movies here (https://letterboxd.com/adambulger/).

The boys discuss Lina Wertmuller's weirdo film, Seven Beauties (1975).

The “Cinephile Cuties” are ready to live their entire lives without honor! That’s because we’re chatting about Lina Wertmüller’s Seven Beauties. A warning to all: 1). We talk a great deal about the new season of The Bachelorette in this episode. 2). This episode was recorded before the results of the election, so if we sound particularly clueless, that’s why. Plus, Patrick gets mad at Casey for comparing Patrick to the lascivious main character of the film. We put Seven Beauties through our proprietary “Fartsy Test.” Patrick recommends a drink pairing. And we give each other notes to improve the show. Listen in to see if it’s working!  If you like this show, tell a friend! Follow Farthouse on Twitter and InstagramFollow Patrick and Casey on TwitterAnd follow Patrick and Casey on Letterboxd.

Is there such a thing as too much Bill Murray?

Meet Scott Selisker, Associate Professor at the University of Arizona and resident expert on science fiction and *teaching* science fiction. His book, "Human Programming: Brainwashing, Automatons, and American Unfreedom" (2016) is worth checking out on its own merits. He is also the unlucky human responsible for introducing US to Istvan Csicsery-Ronay, Jr.'s "The Seven Beauties of Science Fiction," which has spawned not just a seven-episode series on this podcast, but also reshaped our conversations about science fiction (and fantasy) on a macro level. We invited him to come and join us for a conversation about the very macro question of "What makes science fiction beautiful?" Excited words follow. Side note: Selisker's voice is a sonorous ear-worm you NEED in your life. Our conversation includes references to a number of formative works of science fiction criticism and fiction, including David Wittenberg's "Time Travel: The Popular Philosophy of Narrative" (2012), Jennifer Egan's "A Visit from the Goon Squad" (2010), Kazuo Ishiguro's "Never Let Me Go" (2005), Max Barry's "Lexicon" (2013), as well as Marina and Sergey Dyachenko's "Vita Nostra" (2008). We also discussed the "Alien" and "Star Trek" franchises (of COURSE), Ursula K. Le Guin, Nnedi Okorafor's "Binti" series, and Nalo Hopkinson's body of work. Selisker also references Dan Sinykin's article "The Conglomerate Era: Publishing, Authorship, and Literary Form, 1965–2007" in the journal Contemporary Literature and Joseph Campbell and Darko Suvin's competing definitions of science fiction; to read more about these, just look for the Wikipedia page on "Definitions of Science Fiction." Want to find out more about Scott Selisker? You can find his book "Human Programming" on Amazon, his faculty webpage at https://english.arizona.edu/users/scott-selisker, and his Twitter handle is @sselisker. We do also want to give shout-outs here in the show-notes to our previous episodes on Istvan Csicsery-Ronay, Jr.'s "The Seven Beauties of Science Fiction": Beauty #1: Fictive Neology (Episode 5) Beauty #2: Novums (Episode 12) Beauty #3: Future History (MIA, hard drive failure) Beauty #4: Imaginary Science (Episode 34) Beauty #5: The Sublime (Episode 55) Beauty #6: The Grotesque (Episode 71) Beauty #7: The Techno-Gatorade (Episode 79) You can find all of our back episodes on YouTube once they have shuffled off these earthly coils of their SoundCloud first life.

The day has finally arrived, dear friends, when we get to finish our longest-running series of episodes. Istvan Csicsery-Ronay's "The Seven Beauties of Science Fiction" may have taken two-and-a-bit years to journey through, but every step of that journey has been rich (or dare we say, RIFE) with conversation. About what, prey? About what makes science fiction ... well, science fiction! We are so grateful for this book and the many new ways it has given us to frame this evergreen debate, and to move forward in critically and creatively engaging with this thing (genre/mode/cat) that we love. So, thank you, Csicsery-Ronay! What is the seventh beauty of science fiction? Well, Tony really struggled to pronounce the 'Technologiade,' so we're going to call it the Techno-Gatorade. We hope you don't mind. We do also want to give shout-outs here in the show-notes to our previous episodes on the subject: Beauty #1: Fictive Neology (Episode 5) Beauty #2: Novums (Episode 12) Beauty #3: Future History (MIA, hard drive failure) Beauty #4: Imaginary Science (Episode 34) Beauty #5: The Sublime (Episode 55) Beauty #6: The Grotesque (Episode 71) You can find all of our back episodes on YouTube once they have shuffled off these earthly coils of their SoundCloud first life.

Interrupting our series on music (thanks, TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES!), we return to our ongoing journey through Istvan Csicsery-Ronay's wonder of a work, "The Seven Beauties of Science Fiction." This week, we tackle Beauty #6 (the Grotesque). What exactly *IS* the Grotesque, and how does it relate both to science fiction at large as well as to Beauty #5 (the Sublime), which we discussed way back in Episode 55? We set out to answer this question, with deliberate pushback against the urge to get all academic up in here. Which is to say, if you *haven't* read "The Seven Beauties of Science Fiction," that's alright! You don't actually need to have done so in order to listen to this episode, or to enjoy our general bonkers-ness. And yes, if you're wondering, we *do* talk a lot about "Alien" in this episode. And the intersection of queer and science fiction and the Grotesque. You can find our back episodes on Youtube.

Once upon a time two years ago, we started a podcast series tackling Istvan Csicsery-Ronay, Jr's "The Seven Beauties of Science Fiction," a work of actually readable literary theory which attempts to find new ways at describing and understanding what even this science fiction thing IS, anyway. The fifth beauty has everything to do with the science fictional sublime. What IS the sublime? Can it be ... playful? Or is it always grotesque? What is the DEAL with inverted expectations? CAN WE EVEN SURVIVE THIS EPISODE OH MY GOD. Ahem. It got a little rough in there for a while. More ramshackle gallivanting to follow! You can find our back episodes on YouTube. Our Twitter handle is @imaginary_pod, our website www.imaginaries.net, and our email imaginarypod@gmail.com. If you would like to help support our work, you can do so at www.ko-fi.com/imaginaries.

Welcome! It's the first episode of the Late Cinema Podcast! Meet your host Charlie Tarabour. And enjoy his conversation with KJ Relth, Programmer at the UCLA Film & Television Archive, about outspoken (and maybe misunderstood) Italian director Lina Wertmuller. They go deep into five of her key films (THE SEDUCTION OF MIMI, LOVE & ANARCHY, ALL SCREWED UP, SWEPT AWAY, and SEVEN BEAUTIES), an iconic 1970's run that deserves a closer look. This episode is brought to you by Bob Baker's Sideshow Spectaculars.
