Podcasts about straight story

I can tell you the exact date and place: October 16, 1986, at the Fine Arts Theater in downtown Chicago. I got to come of age as a moviegoer in the corporate dominated, era of the late 70's and early 80's. I was a child of "Jaws", "Star Wars", Indy and "Back to the Future". With occasional exceptions like "Stranger than Paradise" and "Blade Runner", American film in the early and mid 80's felt corporate and soulless. And then I saw "Blue Velvet", and my moviegoing life was saved. Skip now to nearly four years later, to those glorious two months in the spring of 1990 when "Twin Peaks" changed everything that television was and could be. For these moments, and so many more, we use Episode 60 to pay a last tribute to Hollywood's favorite Eagle Scout, the irreplaceable David Lynch. What separates Lynch from almost every other filmmaker, was that whereas most great directors were filmmakers who evolved into artists, Lynch was an artist (a celebrated painter, composer) who happened to choose filmmaking as his major means of expression. And when the filmmaking money dried up after "Inland Empire"'s failure, he simply turned to other art forms to express what he wanted to say. Lynch was most certainly a surrealist, every bit as much as Dali, Magritte or De Chirico were, but he was, as one critic termed him, a “populist surrealist”. In his films, the line between dream and reality (or between reality and film in his later works) is blurred. This makes sense, since surrealism is founded on dreams and dreamlike juxtapositions. Lynch, like those great painters he so admired and emulated, was an artist of the unconscious and the uncanny. But for all the serious artistic ambition, everything he created was leavened with that art-school sense of humor, off-center and dry as a bone. For all of his unsettling imagery and the deep questions his work raised about the nature of identity, he seemed, at least from the outside, to have led the happiest of lives. Raised mainly in Missoula, Montana, Lynch often paid tribute to the simple quotidian beauties of life in small-town America (think Twin Peaks, Lumberton, the Iowa and Wisconsin towns we see in "The Straight Story") while also, as in the opening of "Blue Velvet", reminding us of the darkness that often lies just beneath those finely-manicured lawns. For all of his artistic sophistication, he never even came close to an artsy sense of condescending irony; it's perfect that he spent the last years of his life sending in daily weather reports to the LA public radio station for broadcast. No winks, no air quotes—just the desire to share a genuine excitement about the miracles of nature. And for an artist who was such a unique stylist that he was one of the last to become an adjective (we all know “Lynchian” filmmaking when we see it), he was at the same time constantly paying tribute to film history; consider the endless "Wizard of Oz" references in "Wild at Heart", or casting just about all of the hot new movie stars of 1961 in the original "Twin Peaks" series. How perfectly fitting it was, then, to watch him, in his final and uncredited big screen appearance, playing a cranky John Ford in Spielberg's "The Fablemans". For our tribute to Lynch (which is more than they did for him at this year's Oscars), we eschewed our usual formula and chose not to do a chronological reckoning of Lynch's work and its impact from "Eraserhead" to "Inland Empire". This episode, like the director's work itself, is more associative and non-linear. In the end, we conclude that David Lynch, that Man from Another Place, is someone whose absence makes the world that much poorer a spot to live in. To quote the repeated incantation from "Blue Velvet", now it's dark.

We continue with the filmography of David Lynch by exploring a lesser known classic; The Straight Story is a movie that has none of the typical hallmarks of a Lynch film, but nonetheless has the essential DNA of what is at the center of many of his movies. The Straight Story is (as its name implies) a very straightforward story about an elderly man longing to see his brother before it's too late. Starring Richard Farnsworth as the sweet and humble Alvin Straight on his journey to reconcile with his brother.   Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast founded by Isaac Ransom and Cameron Tuttle, co-hosted by film expert Juzo Greenwood.

David Lynch created many films that shocked us, but he also knew how to give us...The Straight Story. Join us as we review this lesser viewed gem. The Straight story from 1999 follows the real life events of an elderly man named Alvin Straight who has had a falling out with his brother many years prior. He finds out his brother has had a stroke and decides he needs to make amends. Due to Alvins own short comings, and inability to drive he has no way to reconnect with him in his remote house half way across the country from Iowa. In a daring plan Alvin Straight decides to fix up his old riding mower, attach a homemade trailer to it and make the trek alone. He encounters many interesting people in his journey. Starring Richard Farnsworth as Alvin, and Sissy Spacek as Rose.

Wie lässt sich nochmal neu vom langsamen Horror der Assimilation, vom Aberkennen der Geschichte, vom Ausblenden des Leids erzählen? Und vom American Dream als ewiger Ausbeutungsgeschichte? Vielleicht so: Brady Corbet bringt einen Film ins Kino, der einerseits absurd wenig gekostet hat, aber andererseits gigantisch wirkt. Der einerseits als Rückkehr des Kinos gefeiert wird und andererseits als albern aufgeblasen bezeichnet. Den manche tiefgründig und andere wahnsinnig oberflächlich finden. Gleicht er damit irgendwie den gigantischen Betonklötzen, von denen er erzählt? Christian spricht mit Janick Nolting und Judith Niehaus über "The Brutalist". Shoutouts: Conclava, Maria, Squid Game Season 2, Strangers on a Train, The Straight Story, Habemus Papam Korrektur: Brady Corbet wird doch französisch ausgesprochen, die 3(!)

As soon as we heard the tragic news about David Lynch's death, we knew we had to do one of his films on Pop Screen. But which one? Most of Lynch's films feature some sort of musician cameo - and, to answer your next question, we've already done his version of Dune. But there's only one that caught the industrial, trip-hopping, nihilistic zeitgeist of the late '90s, and that's Lost Highway. Join Graham and Rob as they discuss Lost Highway's iconic soundtrack, featuring Trent Reznor, Rammstein, David Bowie and Barry Adamson. We also talk about its on-screen cameos from Henry Rollins, Marilyn Manson - come back! - as well as the cut one from Scott Ian, and the movie's other cut scenes and multiple enigmas. Plus chat about Jack Nance, The Straight Story, and everything we'll miss about the unique Eagle Scout from Missoula, Montana. Like the Man From Another Place says, let's rock! We recently failed to steal five hundred dollars from a sleazeball we accidentally killed with a glass coffee table, so we'd appreciate your support over on our Patreon. We're about to release an exclusive bonus episode on Masked and Anonymous, and we also post regular written reviews of The Twilight Zone, Red Dwarf, classic Asian genre cinema and The X-Files.

Episode 66 - This week we pay homage to the late great maker of dreams and nightmares on film, David Lynch. This was recorded on what would have been his 79th birthday on January 20th. We begin the discussion by sharing our favorite Lynch moments from this month, and then break down two of his films that couldn't be more different. Although the majority of the discussion is focused on sharing our thoughts and theories on Lost Highway (1997), we also spend some time discussing The Straight Story (1999). Will we be divided once again, or will Lost Highway be the film that brings us all together? Tune in the find out. And tune in next week as we conclude our Lynch Filmography with Mulholland Drive (2001) and Inland Empire (2006). And you can always email praise and/or complaints to mracfilmclub@gmail.com

Episode 65 - It is with a heavy heart that we release this episode, week 3 of David Lynch Month. The news broke yesterday that David Lynch has passed at the age of 79. Since we recorded this prior to the news breaking, we do not discuss his passing. In fact, there is some more criticism of Lynch as an artist by one of us, since we are still divided on his films (for the most part). But luckily we have the man behind the curtain, Matt, to give more of a perspective from someone who actually studied film. This week it's Wild at Heart (1990), and Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me (1992) Join us next week as we share our favorite Lynch moments so far, and discuss Lost Highway (1997) and The Straight Story (1999) and email us at mracfilmclub@gmail.com

Throwback from 2018. Mary Sweeney needs some air. “There has to be a flow of fast and slow, and a pause to allow the listener or the spectator to digest and to project their own thoughts.” She thinks I should leave more space in my podcasts, to let it breathe. She tells me this as we sit in the screened in porch behind her summer house in Madison, Wisconsin. As she tells me this, cicadas chirp loudly, as if to underscore her point: “Today's episode will not be edited! You will not remove us from this moment!”  Mary Sweeney should know. She spent much of her career as a film editor, producer and writer collaborating with David Lynch. Beginning in 1985 with Blue Velvet, and continuing through the 2006 film Inland Empire, her editing credits include Blue Velvet (1986), Wild at Heart (1990), Twin Peaks (1991), Industrial Symphony (1991), Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992), On the Air (1992), Hotel Room(1993), Lost Highway (1996), The Straight Story (2000), Mulholland Drive (2001) and Baraboo (2009). The relationship with Lynch was productive, fruitful, and nuanced (the two were partners in work and in life for much of that time) and they have a son together.  At the time of this interview, Mary was working as a consulting producer and writer on Matthew Weiner's series for Amazon, The Romanoffs. She is the Dino and Martha De Laurentiis Endowed Professor of film at USC, where she teaches Graduate Screenwriting Thesis and “Dreams, The Brain and Storytelling.” Before we had this conversation, Mary cheekily emailed me a list of topics that she would be happy to discuss. They included editing, producing, screenwriting, parenting, Paris, Cairo, pie baking, and the Catholic Church. Guess what we talked about? All of it.  And we also talked at length about living and working in an intensely creative partnership with David Lynch for all those years (both personally and professionally), collaborating with one of the most innovative voices in film, and what's so great about coming from a big family. Visit the Patreon Page for an extra 20 minutes of juicy conversation that didn't make it into this edit.

Nice and uplifting movies like The Straight Story are a welcome sight in a world that's evermore cynical and meanspirited. David Lynch, a man known for sex and violence, was an usual choice to direct a real-life story about an elderly man riding his lawnmower across state lines just so he could visit his ailing brother. Still, despite some wonky acting from some of the non-professional actors, this is one of the director's finest film. Sissy Spacek is pretty great in her limited screen time as Richard Farnsworth's daughter, while Farnsworth's last performance is probably his BEST performance. He's just remarkable, playing a thoughtful man who's near the end of his life. His often-watery eyes have often inspired one of us to have watery eyes watching this film. So spend some quiet time looking up at the stars as you slowly motor across the heartland while our 623rd podcast glides through the G-rated loveliness of The Straight Story. Well, Actually: to clarify what the Salon reviewer Charles Taylor wrote about this movie, he said "it's as wonderfully strange as anything Lynch has done".

With Halloween only 21 days away, folk horror blogger Rowan Lee joins us to discuss a pair of offbeat Brit horror movies with totally loaded casts. First, Peter Cushing discovers that the humanoid fossil he discovered in New Guinea transforms into the slimy embodiment of pure evil when you just add water in THE CREEPING FLESH (1973). In a film with f--d-up family dynamics, Cushing almost immediately injects cells from his creepy skeleton's newly formed flesh into his young daughter (Lorna Heilbron) in a hair-brained attempt to inoculate her against evil. Christopher Lee is Cushing's hyper-competitive half-brother who mismanages a mental hospital and decides that stealing the fossil during a rainstorm is a great idea. What could go wrong? Directed by Hammer veteran Freddie Francis (DRACULA HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE), who went on to late-career success as the director of photography of three David Lynch movies (ELEPHANT MAN, DUNE, THE STRAIGHT STORY) and Scorsese's remake of CAPE FEAR. Next, Christopher Lee teams up with the great Boris Karloff and 60s scream queen Barbara Steele in THE CRIMSON CULT aka CURSE OF THE CRIMSON ALTAR (1968). This one starts off with a bang with psychedelic sex parties and pagan sacrifices, so as Greg suggests, get high quick because the movie soon gives way too much screen time to Mark Eden as a dense antiques dealer looking for his brother where everyone is losing their minds (and articles of clothing) over anniversary of the burning of the witch Lavinia (Steele). I mean, um, Christopher Lee is right there! Also starring Michael Gough who played Alfred in the Tim Burton BATMAN movies. Both of our films today are from Tigon British Film Releasing Productions, the studio that released two folk horror classics: THE WITCHFINDER GENERAL (1968) and THE BLOOD ON SATAN'S CLAW (1971) along with some sex comedies.
