From wiki: “The Curse of the Cat People is a 1944 American psychological supernatural thriller film[1][2][3] directed by Gunther von Fritsch and Robert Wise, produced by Val Lewton, and starring Simone Simon, Kent Smith, Jane Randolph, and Ann Carter.

The film, which marks Wise's first directing credit, is a sequel to Cat People (1942) and has many of the same central characters, but the plot is only tangentially related to its predecessor.

Michael and Rob welcome back Jacob Bean-Watson to discuss what's either a tangential Christmas movie or a Christmas ghost story, depending on your point of view. It's The Curse of the Cat People, Val Lewton's controversial follow-up to his noir horror film Cat People from a couple of years earlier. Simone Simon, Kent Smith, Jane Randolph, and Elizabeth Russell return from the earlier movie, joined this time by child actor Ann Carter, Lewton-favorite Sir Lancelot, and Julia Dean.
EPISODE 44 - "THERESA HARRIS: HOW OLD HOLLYWOOD STOPPED HER STAR FROM RISING" - 07/15/2024 ** This episode is sponsored brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/BENEATH and get on your way to being your best self.” ** When THERESA HARRIS appears on screen, you cannot take your eyes off of her. Beautiful, talented, and a skilled singer and dancer, she lights up any scene she's in. Despite appearing in over 100 films, she rarely received screen credit and most often played a maid, waitress, or other types of domestic servant. Her parts were small, but her charisma and presence on screen were enormous! As a black woman in the early days of Hollywood, she was limited in the roles she could perform by the restrictive Hayes Code of 1934 and the horrible Jim Crow laws of the South. Still, she is a welcome presence in so many classic films. This week, we look at the extraordinary life and career of the talented THERESA HARRIS.

I tre ladri è un film del 1954 diretto da Lionello De Felice e interpretato da Totò, Jean Claude Pascal, Gino Bramieri e Simone Simon. La trama segue le vicende di Tapioca, un ladro di appartamenti che per errore finisce nella casa di un ricco uomo d'affari insieme a un borsaiolo. Il film presenta un cast di tutto rispetto, ma la trama sembra non sfruttare a pieno il potenziale comico di Totò. Tuttavia, il film offre divertimento grazie alla performance di Totò, icona della comicità all'italiana, che interpreta il ruolo del ladro di galline rassegnato a una vita grama. La regia di Lionello De Felice riesce a rappresentare in modo efficace tre diverse categorie di ladri, ognuna con le proprie motivazioni. Nonostante qualche critica sulla trama, I tre ladri è un buon film che intrattiene con momenti comici ben calibrati e una performance solida da parte del cast. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/corgiov/message
Happy Spooky Season, y'all! On our previous episode with Josh Larsen we teased that we'd likely be covering one of the films we mentioned in our discussion of the theology of horror movies, and it's that time! We're excited to kick things off this October by covering the underseen horror classic Cat People from 1942 (congrats to the folks who guessed it correctly!). The description on The Criterion Collection's website for the film, in part, reads: "The first of the horror films producer Val Lewton made for RKO Pictures redefined the genre by leaving its most frightening terrors to its audience's imagination. Simone Simon stars as a Serbian émigré in Manhattan who believes that, because of an ancient curse, any physical intimacy with the man she loves (Kent Smith) will turn her into a feline predator." In its brisk 73-minute runtime, the film is in turn scary, thought-provoking, and incredibly impressive as a artistic work made with such little money and under significant time constraints. We are also excited to have the perfect guest for this tale of sexual repression & religious fundamentalism, artist and author Stephanie Stalvey. Stephanie writes and draws comics and is most widely known for her graphic memoir "Pure," currently being released on her website with a published collection on its way when it's finished. She writes about her own experiences with fundamentalism and purity culture and a few of her short stories were so thematically similar to the story portrayed in the film (links below), that we had to reach out. The result was a fantastic conversation that we hope encourages and edifies you as much as it did us. And who know, we just may have her back for a Curse of the Cat People bonus for Patreon supporters sometime!

The Rock and Metal Profs: The History and Philosophy of Rock and Metal
Another round for the ladies! On this episode the Rock and Metal Profs discuss some of the most talented and influential female musicians of the nineties and two-thousands. From Jennifer Batten to Nita Strauss, from Kim Deal to Amy Lee, from Floor Jansen to Simone Simon, Court and Matt do their best to give these incredibly gifted, hard-working and committed artists their due. Rock and metal music tends to be a sausage-fest, but as the profs point out, there is a veritable plethora of female performers who have breathed new life into the genre at a time when metal is anything but mainstream. Matt points out that Americans have a blind spot when it comes to symphonic metal born in western Europe, while Court emphasizes that we should not overlook the talented rock guitarists who found their niche in pop and country. It's a rich tapestry of musical ability as we celebrate the ladies on this 49th episode of RAMP! If we missed any of your favorite female performers, please hit us up on the RAMP Facebook page and let us know so we can promote and share the artists you love!

How does an architect become a fashion designer and create a fashion brand business? Our guest, Cecile Thieulin, shares her deep insights for launching a fashion brand, even when you've never stepped foot into the fashion industry.From fundraising to design decisions to manufacturing options - Cecile brings strategies and tactics for building a fashion brand. Her startup stories and advice will also resonate with business owners across all industries and with those who are dreaming of launching their own business.Cecile Thieulin was born in France, grew-up in Paris, studied in Barcelona and worked in New-Delhi, London and New-York before she settled in between Paris and Boston… where she works today.Because Cecile has always had a fascination for geometry, light and shadows, shape and spaces, cities and history, she chose to study architecture. In 2006, she started her own architectural business and, along the way … when she was looking for specific clothes she couldn’t find, she did what many women do. She decided to learn sewing and created her first pieces. When Cecile moved to Boston in 2016 she was inspired by the incredible energy of the city, and decided to launch a creative new space for fashion. Cecile’s fashion brand is called Simone Simon, based upon having seeing a movie with the actress Simone Simon wearing a spectacular striped shirt. Cecile was so inspired, she decided to play with stripes and lines (geometry) on the woman’s body to enhance body curves.Today Cecile approaches fashion like she would construction of a home or building, and uses her technical background to optimize the apparel fabrication process from creation, to prototyping, to manufacturing.

The real James Bond is finally revealed: A few years ago Larry Loftis decided to stop publishing legal articles and work full-time on researching and writing the story of Dusko Popov, the daring World War II double agent who worked tirelessly to keep the Nazis off guard about the upcoming D-Day invasions. That work became his book Into the Lion's Mouth: The True Story of Dusko Popov: World War II Spy, Patriot, and the Real-Life Inspiration for James Bond. Loftis received his undergraduate degree and his Law degrees from the University of Florida. His background in writing stems from his time on the university's Law Review as the Senior Executive Editor and Senior Articles Editor. He is the author of a number of scholarly legal articles. But you'd never know about Larry's background in dry academic writing by reading his book. Into the Lion's Mouth is a riveting narrative that is as unbelievable as it is addictive. Even former CIA director Michael Morrell called it "impossible to put down. The most shocking aspect of this book is that every word in it is absolutely true. With the attention to detail that only a lawyer could bring to researching a book of this magnitude, Loftis poured through thousands of historical documents (including MI5 archives) related to Popov and his missions, even revealing that it was actually Popov's adventures which inspired the many tales of Britain's 007, James Bond. 1. Popov was captured by the Nazis before he became a spy. Dusko Popov was a student in Germany as the Nazis took power and began to persecute the German Jews. No fan of the Nazis, Popov thumbed his nose at the thugs who came to intimidate patrons of Jewish businesses. He was quickly visited by the Gestapo, who imprisoned him and tortured him for information. He was able to escape Germany because of his family's connections. Hermann Göering ordered his release to Yugoslavia. 2. He was recruited by his best friend. Johann-Nielsen Jebsen – known as "Johnny" – went to school with Popov. But Jebsen is from a very wealthy European family with German roots. They met each other at the university of Freiburg but where Popov was expelled from Germany, Jebsen, as a German citizen, was forced to join the Nazi war effort. He joins the Abwehr (German military intelligence) as a spy recruiter. His first recruit is Dusko Popov and the two both became double agents for the British. 3. He warned the U.S. about the attack on Pearl Harbor Popov warned the FBI on Aug. 18, 1941, that the Japanese were about to attack Pearl Harbor. Popov and his MI6 supervisor met FBI officials at the Commodore Hotel and for three hours laid out the entire plan. Popov was in the country to set up a spy ring in New York and recon the defenses at Pearl Harbor. The attack was supposed to be a repeat of the British attack on the Italian fleet at the defended port of Taranto in 1940. The Japanese wanted to know how they could be as successful as they enter the war against the Americans. The reason President Roosevelt never saw the information will enrage you. Check out the book (or finish this podcast) to find out! 4. He was critical to the success of D-Day. The British determined that the best way to keep the Germans off guard on D-Day was to convince them that the invasion would come at Pas-de-Calais, not Normandy. At the risk of his life, with interrogators who were convinced that Popov was compromised by the British, Popov returned to Germany. He gave the Nazis the false information the British wanted them to believe during multiple, marathon interrogation sessions that lasted for hours at a time over a series of days. Popov was the only spy who was interrogated by the Nazis about D-Day. 5. His real-world girlfriend was a movie star. Just like his silver screen counterpart, James Bond, Popov had a slew of women he used for various reasons as a undercover agent for two opposing countries. But his heart belonged to just one – and she was as glamorous as the rest of his World War II life: Hollywood movie star Simone Simon.
