That Show Hasn't Been Funny In Years: an SNL podcast on Radio Misfits
On April 19, 1980, legendary character actor Strother Martin hosted Saturday Night Live—and delivered a surprisingly strong performance. Best known for his unforgettable roles in films like Cool Hand Luke, True Grit, Slap Shot, The Wild Bunch, Up in Smoke, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Martin brought his unique presence and versatility to Studio 8H for one memorable night. Nick looks back at this fascinating episode, featuring a clever Cool Hand Luke parody and a mix of strange, sharp, and hilarious sketches. Along the way, he shares behind-the-scenes stories about how some of the show's most unusual comedy came together. You'll hear standout moments from cast members Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, Harry Shearer, Garrett Morris, Paul Shaffer, and more—plus material that feels just as politically relevant today as it did in 1980. It's a fun, deep dive into a night when one of Hollywood's most underrated talents—often mistaken for Tennessee Williams—stepped into the world of live sketch comedy and left his mark. [Ep 119]

Traditional grammar instruction takes an isolated approach. It describes the rules for conjugating verbs, un-dangling participles, and coordinating conjunctions. This is done in isolation, apart from real writing and speaking. This approach may be effective for completing grammar worksheets, but it does not address the process of communicating effectively. In other words, teaching grammar instruction apart from real writing does little to enhance the quality of students' writing. Also, there is very little transfer into authentic writing and speaking.Instead, the rules of grammar should be taught in the context of students' own writing. This is called an embedded approach. This is more impactful on students' ability to use grammar correctly than teaching them in isolation, and it doesn't get in the way of their real writing.
Lodged in between a game against the Commanders last week and a Patriots game that's not until Monday the guys do the obvious thing and talk about Strother Martin for a while on the Bears podcast. The look back at the mind-numbing loss to Washington and at how hard the Bears had to work to not accidentally win the game. They take opposite sides on how much the Bears GM and coach are really invested in making this situation work out for Justin Fields. They look at the troubling (though in at least one case highly enjoyable) struggles of all three teams currently trying to run the Packers version of the Kyle Shanahan offense and wonder if maybe the real problem is that none of them have Davante Adams on their team. They look ahead to Monday in Foxborough and give two reasons why George McCaskey is going to give a rip roaring pregame speech to fire up the troops. And, they try to figure out why Yu Darvish's leg is bleeding in a baseball game going on in the background. Oh, and you'll learn more about the actual follow up to A Christmas Story than you never wanted to know. It's Bears related. Really. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/desipio/message

Ahoy! and welcome to another episode of CISO Tradecraft -- the podcast that provides you with the information, knowledge, and wisdom to be a more effective cyber security leader. My name is G. Mark Hardy, and today we're going to -- talk like a pirate. ARRR As always, please follow us on LinkedIn, and make sure you subscribe so you can always get the latest updates. On today's episode we are going to talk about the 9 Cs of Cyber Security. Note these are not the 9 Seas that you might find today, the 19th of September, which happens to be the 20th annual International Talk like a Pirate Day. They are the nine words that begin with the letter C (but not the letter ARRR): Controls, Compliance, Continuity, Coverage, Complexity, Competency, Communication, Convenience, Consistency. Please note that this talk is inspired by an article by Mark Wojtasiak from Vectra, but we have modified the content to be more aligned with our thoughts at CISO Tradecraft. Now before we go into the 9 Cs, it's important to understand that the 9 Cs represent three equal groups of three. Be sure to look at the show notes which will link to our CISO Tradecraft website that shows a 9-box picture which should make this easier to understand. But if you're listening, imagine a three-by-three grid where each row corresponds to a different stakeholder. Each stakeholder is going to be concerned with different things, and by identifying three important priorities for each, we have our grid. Make sense? Okay, let's dig in. The first row in our grid is the focus of Executive Leaders. First, this group of executives such as the CEO, CIO, and CISO ensure that the IT controls and objectives are working as desired. Next, these executives want attestations and audits to ensure that compliance is being achieved and the organization is not just paying lip service to those requirements. Thirdly, they also want business continuity. IT systems must be constantly available despite attacks from ransomware, hardware failures, and power outages. The second row in our grid is the focus of Software Development shops. This group consists of Architects, Developers, Engineers, and Administrators. First, they need to ensure they understand the Coverage of their IT systems in asset inventories -- can we account for all hardware and software. Next, developers should be concerned with how Complexity in their environment can reduce security, as these tend to work at cross-purposes. Lastly, developers care about Competency of their teams to build software correctly; that competency is a key predictor of the end quality of what is ultimately produced. The third and final row in our grid is the focus of Security Operations Centers. This group consists of Incident Handlers and Responders, Threat Intelligence Teams, and Business Information System Officers commonly known as BISOs. They need to provide clear communication that informs others what they need to do, they need processes and tools that enable convenience so as to reduce friction. Finally, they need to be consistent. No one wants a fire department that only shows up 25% of the time. So now that we have a high-level overview of the 9 C's let's start going into detail on each one of them. We'll start with the focus of executive leaders. Again, that is controls, compliance, and continuity. Controls- According to James Hall's book on Accounting Information Systems[i], General Computer Controls are "specific activities performed by persons or systems designed to ensure that business objectives are met." Three common control frameworks that we see inside of organizations today are COBIT, COSO, and ITIL. COBIT®, which stands for The Control Objectives for Information Technology was built by the IT Governance Institute and the Information Systems Audit and Controls Organization, better known as ISACA®. COBIT® is primarily focused on IT compliance, audit issues, and IT service, which should not be a surprise given its roots from ISACA® which is an Audit and Controls organization. Overall, COBIT® 2019, the latest version, is based on the following six principles[ii] (note that the prior version, COBIT® 5[iii], had five): Provide stakeholder value Holistic approach Dynamic governance system Governance distinct from management Tailored to enterprise needs End-to-end governance system COSO stands for The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Their latest version is the 2017 Enterprise Risk Management - Integrated Framework, which is designed to address "enterprise risk management and the need for organizations to improve their approach to managing risk to meet the demands of an evolving business environment.[iv]" COSO states that internal controls are a PROCESS, effected by leadership, to provide reasonable assurance with respect to effectiveness, reliability, and compliance[v]. The framework consists of five interrelated principles[vi]: Governance and culture Strategy and objective-setting Performance Review and revision, and Information, communication, and reporting To support these principles, COSO defines internal controls as consisting of five interrelated components: Control environments, Risk Assessments, Control Activities, Information and Communication, and Monitoring Activities. The third framework is ITIL®, which stands for Information Technology Infrastructure Library. First published in 1989 (the latest update is 2019/2020), ITIL® is managed and maintained by AXELOS, a joint venture between the Government of the United Kingdom and PeopleCert, which acquired AXELOS in 2021. According to their website[vii], "ITIL 4 is an adaptable framework for managing services within the digital era. Through our best practice modules, ITIL 4 helps to optimize digital technologies to co-create value with consumers, drive business strategy, and embrace digital transformation." (Talk about buzzword compliance). ITIL® 4 focuses on process and service management through service strategy, service design, service transition, service operation, and continual service improvement. What is interesting is that there is no third-party assessment of ITIL® compliance in an organization, only individual certification. At the end of the day an organization needs to pick one of these popular control frameworks and show controls are being followed. This isn't just a best practice; it's also required by Sarbanes Oxley. SOX has two sections that require control attestations that impact cyber. Section 302 requires corporate management, executives, and financial officers to perform quarterly assessments which: Evaluate the effectiveness of disclosure controls, Evaluate changes in internal controls over financial reporting, Disclose all known control deficiencies and weaknesses, and Disclose acts of fraud. Since financial services run on IT applications, cybersecurity is generally in scope for showing weaknesses and deficiencies. SOX Section 404 requires an annual assessment by both management and independent auditors. This requires organizations to: Evaluate design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, Disclose all known controls and significant deficiencies, and disclose acts of fraud. Once we understand the requirements for controls, we need to be Compliant. Compliance is the second C we are discussing today. Remember the CFO and CEO need to produce annual and quarterly reports to regulators such as the SEC. So, if you as a CISO can help them obtain a clean bill of health or fix previous audit findings, you help the business. A useful tool to consult in terms of compliance is a concept from the Institute of Internal Auditors known as the three lines model or three lines of defense[viii]. This model has as a foundation six principles: Governance Governing body roles Management and first- and second-line roles Third line roles Third line independence, and Creating and protecting value The first line of defense is the business and process owners who maintain internal controls. You can think of a software developer who should write secure software because there is an IT Control that says so. That developer is expected to run application security scans and vulnerability scans to find bugs in their code. They are also expected to fix these issues before releasing to production. The second line of defense are elements of an organization that focus on risk management and compliance. Your cyber team is a perfect example of this. If the developer doesn't fix the application vulnerabilities before sending code to production, then the company is at risk. Cyber teams generally track and report vulnerability findings to the business units to ensure better compliance with IT controls. Finally, the third line of defense is internal audit. Internal audit might assess an IT control on secure software development and say we have an issue. The developers push out bad code with vulnerabilities. Cyber tells the developers to fix, yet we are observing trends that the total vulnerabilities are only increasing. This systemic risk is problematic, and we recommend management comply with the IT controls by making immediate fixes to this risky situation. Now, other than the observation that the ultimate line of defense (internal auditors) is defined by the Institute of Internal Auditors (no conflict of interest there), note that internal auditors can report directly to the board. Developers and CISOs typically cannot. One of the most powerful weapons in an auditor's toolbox is the "finding." The U.S. Code defines what represents a finding[ix] in the context of federal awards, to include: Significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control and significant instances of abuse Material noncompliance with the provisions of Federal statutes or regulations Known questioned costs, specifically identified by the auditor, greater than $25,000 for a type of compliance requirement Internal auditors have both a mandate from and access to the board to ensure that the organization meets compliance requirements. So, if you've been unsuccessful in getting funding for what you consider a critical security asset, maybe, just maybe, you casually point that out to the auditors so that it ends up in a finding. After all, findings get funded. Don't get caught, though, or you'll have some explaining to do to your boss who previously turned you down. Management cares a lot about Continuity. Remember, if the business is down, then it's not making money, and it's probably losing money by the hour. If the business isn't making money, then they can't pay for the cyber department. So, among your goals as a cyber executive is to ensure the continuity of revenue-generation services. To start, you must identify what those activities are and find ways to protect the services by reducing the likelihood of vulnerabilities found in those systems. You also need to ensure regular backup activities are occurring, disaster recovery exercises are performed, Business Continuity Plans are tested, and tabletops are executed. Each of these activities has the potential to identify gaps which cause harm to the continuity that executives care about. How do you identify revenue-generating elements of the business? Ask. But do your homework first. If you're a publicly traded company, the annual report will often break out lines of business showing profit and loss for each. Even if it's losing money today, it still may be vital to the organization. Think, ahem, about your department -- you're probably not making a profit for the company in the security suite, but your services are definitely important. Look at the IT systems that support each line of business and assess their criticality to the success of that business component. In today's digitized workplace, the answer will almost always be "yes," but since you don't have unlimited resources, you need to rack and stack what has to be protected first. A Business Impact Analysis, or BIA, involves meeting with key executives throughout the organization, assessing the importance and value of IT-supported business processes, ranking them in the order in which they need to be assured, and then acting on that knowledge. [I thought we had done an episode on BIA, but I checked back and couldn't find one. So, expect to learn more about that in a future episode.] Backups and disaster recovery exercises are a must in today's world of ransomware and surprise risks, but make sure that you're not just hand-waving and assuming that what you think is working really is working. Do what I call "core sampling" -- get with your team and dig way down until you reach some individual file from a particular date or can observe all logs collected for some arbitrary 5-minute period. It's not that that information is critical in and of itself, but your team's ability to get to that information quickly and accurately should increase your confidence that they could do the same thing when a true outage occurs. Lastly, tabletop exercises are a great way to ensure that your team (as well as others from around the organization, up to and including senior leadership) know what to do when certain circumstances occur. The advantage of tabletops is that they don't require much time and effort from the participants to go through emergency response procedures. The disadvantage of tabletops is that you risk groupthink when everyone thinks someone else took care of that "assumed" item. Companies have been caught flat-footed when the emergency diesel generator doesn't kick in because no one in the tabletop tests ever thought to check it for fuel, and the tank was empty. Things change, and there's nothing like a full-scale test where people have to physically go to or do the things they would in a true emergency. That's a reason why kids in school don't discuss what to do in a fire drill, they actually do what needs to be done -- get out of the building. Be careful here you don't have a paper tiger for a continuity plan -- it's too late when things start to come apart to realize you hadn't truly done your homework. Those are the three Cs for executives -- controls, compliance, and continuity. Now let's move on to developers. If you remember, the three Cs for developers are coverage, complexity, and competency. Developers need to care about Coverage. When we talk about coverage, we want to ensure that we know everything that is in our environment. That includes having a complete and up-to-date asset inventory, knowing our processes are free from security oversight, as well as ensuring that our security controls are deployed across all of our potential attack surfaces. "We've got your covered" is usually considered reassuring -- it's a statement that someone has thought of what needs to be protected. Specifically, our technical team members are the only ones who can generally tell if the IT asset inventory is correct. They are the ones who run the tools, update the agents (assuming we're not agentless), and push the reporting. If the scanning tools we use are missing hardware or software, then those gaps represent potential landing zones for enemy forces. The Center for Internet Security's Critical Controls start with these two imperatives. Essentially, if you don't know what you have, how can you secure it? Knowing our processes is key. For developers today, it's much more likely that they're using a DevOps continuous integration / continuous delivery, or CI/CD process, rather than the classic waterfall methodology. Agile is often an important part of what we do, and that continuous feedback loop between developer and customer helps to ensure that we cover requirements correctly (while being careful to avoid scope creep.) Throughout our development cycle, there are numerous places where security belongs -- the art we call DevSecOps. By putting all of our security processes into version control -- essentially automating the work and moving away from paper-based processes, we create a toolchain that automates our security functionality from pre-commit to commit to acceptance to production to operations. Doing this right ensures that security in our development environment is covered. Beyond just the development pipeline, we need to cover our production environment. Now that we've identified all hardware and software and secured our development pipeline, we need to ensure that our security tools are deployed effectively throughout the enterprise to provide protective coverage. We may know how many servers we have, but if we don't scan continuously to ensure that the defenses are running and up to date, we are effectively outsourcing that work to bad actors, who fundamentally charge higher billing rates than developers when they take down critical systems via ransomware. In his book Data and Goliath, Bruce Schnier wrote, "Complexity is the worst enemy of security, and our systems are getting more complex all the time.[x]" Complexity is inversely correlated to security. If there are two hundred settings that you need to configure properly to make containers secure, that's a big deal. It becomes a bigger deal when the team only understands how to apply 150 of those settings. Essentially, your company is left with fifty opportunities for misconfiguration to be abused by bad actors. Therefore, when possible, focus your understanding on how to minimize complexity. For example, instead of running your own containers on premises with Kubernetes, try using Amazon Elastic Container Services. There's a significant amount of configuration complexity decrease. In addition, using cloud-based services give us a lot of capabilities -- elastic scaling, load balancers, multiple regions and availability zones, and even resistance to DDoS attacks. That's a lot of overhead to ensure in a high-availability application running on servers in your data center. Consider using AWS lambda where all of that is already handled as a service for our company. Remember that complexity makes security more difficult and generally increases the costs of maintenance. So only increase complexity when the business benefit exceeds the costs. From a business connectivity perspective, consider the complexity of relationships. Many years ago, data centers were self-contained with 3270 green screens (or punched card readers if you go back far enough) as input and fan-fold line printer generated paper as output. Essentially, the only connection that mattered was reliable electrical power. Today, we have to be aware of what's going on in our industry, our customers, our suppliers, consumers, service providers, and if we have them, joint ventures or partners.[xi] This complex web of competing demands stretches our existing strategies, and sometimes rends holes in our coverage. I would add to that awareness, complexity in our workforce. How did COVID-19 affect your coverage of endpoints, for example? Most work-from-home arrangements lost the benefit of the protection of the enterprise security bubble, with firewalls, scanners, and closely-manage endpoints. Just issuing a VPN credential to a developer working from home doesn't do much when junior sits down at mom's computer to play some online game and downloads who-knows-what. Consider standardizing your endpoints for manageability -- remove the complexity. When I was in the Navy, we had exactly two endpoint configurations from which to choose, even though the Navy-Marine Corps Intranet, or NMCI, was the largest intranet in the world at the time. Although frustrating when you have to explain to the admiral why his staff can't get fancier computers, the offsetting benefit is that when an emergency patch has to get pushed, you know it's going to "take" everywhere. Number six is Competency -- another crucial skill for developers. If your organization doesn't have competent developers, then more vulnerabilities are going to emerge. So how do most other industries show competencies? They use a licensure and certification process. For example, teenagers in the United States must obtain a driver's license before they are legally approved to drive on their own. Nearly all of us have been through the process -- get a manual when you get a learner's permit, go to a driving school to learn the basics, practice with your terrified parents, and after you reach the minimum age, try not to terrify the DMV employee in the passenger seat. In the UK, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency recommends a minimum of 47 hours of lessons before taking the driving test, which still has only a 52% pass rate on the first attempt[xii]. Now ask yourself, is developing and deploying apps riskier than driving a car? If so, consider creating a Developer Driver's License exam that identifies when developers are competent before your company gives them the SSH keys to your servers. Before your new developer sits for the exam you also need to provide the training that identifies the Rules of the Road. For example, ask: When a new application is purchased, what processes should be followed? When are third party vendor assessments needed? How does one document applications into asset inventory systems and Configuration Management Databases? If you can build the Driver's Education Training equivalent for developer and measure competency via an exam, you can reduce the risk that comes from bad development and create a sense of accomplishment among your team. So, to summarize so far, for executives we have controls, compliance, and continuity, and for developers we have coverage, complexity, and competency. It's now time to move to the last three for our security operations center: clarity, context, and community. The seventh C is Communication. Let's learn from a couple quotes on effective communication. Peter Drucker said, “The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't said.” When you share an idea do you look at the person you are informing to see if they understand the idea? What body language are you seeing? Are they bored and not facing you, are they engaged and leaning in and paying close attention, or are they closed off with arms crossed? We've probably all heard the term "active listening." If you want to ensure the other party understands what you're saying (or if you're trying to show them you understand what they are saying), ask the listener to repeat back in their own words what the speaker has just said. You'd be amazed how few people are needed to play the game of "telegraph" and distort a message to the point it is no longer recognizable. George Bernard Shaw said, “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” When you present a technical topic on a new risk to executives, ask questions to ensure they understand what you just shared. If you don't do so, how do you know when you might be overwhelming them with information that goes right over their heads. There's always the danger that someone will not want to look stupid and will just nod along like a bobblehead pretending to understand something about which they have absolutely no clue. Richard Feynman had said, "If you can't explain it to a six-year-old, you don't understand it yourself." Well, let me offer G Mark's corollary to that quote: "If you can't explain it to a six-year-old, you can't explain it to your board." And sometimes the big boss. And sometimes your manager. And sometimes your co-worker. Ask for feedback; make sure the message is understood. Earl Wilson said, “Science may never come up with a better office communication system than the coffee break.” When you want to launch a really important initiative that needs group buy-in, did you first have one-on-ones to solicit feedback? Did you have an ear at the water cooler to understand when people say yes but really mean no? Do you know how to connect with people so you can ask for a favor when you really don't have the resources necessary to make something happen? Unless you are in the military, you can't issue lawful orders to your subordinates and demand that they carry them out. You have to structure your communication in such a way that expectations are made clear, but also have to allow for some push-back, depending on the maturity of the relationship you've developed with your team. [War story: Just this past week, Apple upgraded to iOS 16. We use iPhones exclusively as corporate-issued handsets, so I sent a single sentence message to my senior IT team member: "Please prepare and send an email to all who have an iPhone with steps on how to update the OS soonest. Thank you." To me, that seemed like clear communication. The next day I get a response, "People are slowly updating to 16.0 on their own and as the phone prompts them." After a second request where I point out "slowly" has not been our strategy for responding to exploitable security vulnerabilities, I get a long explanation of how Apple upgrades work, how he's never been questioned in his long career -- essentially the person spent five times as much time explaining why he will NOT do the task rather than just doing it. And today 80% of the devices are still not updated. At times like this I'm reminded of Strother Martin in Cool Hand Luke: "What we have here is failure to communicate." So, my lesson for everyone is even though you think your communications are crystal clear, they may not be perceived as such.] Our last quote is from Walt Disney who said, “Of all our inventions for mass communication, pictures still speak the most universally understood language.” If you believe that pictures are more effective than words, think about how you can create the best pictures in your emails and slide decks to communicate effectively. I remember a British officer who had visited the Pentagon years ago who commented, "PowerPoint is the language of the US military." I think he's right, at least in that context. Ask yourself, are pictures part of your language? Convenience is our eighth C that we are going to talk about. How do we make something convenient? We do it by automating the routine and removing the time wasters. In terms of a SOC, we see technology in this space emerging with the use of Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response, or SOAR technologies. Convenience can come in a lot of ways. Have we created helpful playbooks that identify a process to follow? If so, we can save time during a crisis when we don't have a minute to spare. Have we created simple processes that work via forms versus emails? It's a lot easier to track how many forms have been submitted and filter on field data versus aggregating unstructured emails. One thing you might consider as a way to improve convenience are Chatbots. What if someone could ask a Chatbot a Frequently Asked Question and get a quick, automated, and accurate response? That convenience helps people, and it saves the SOC time. If you go that route, as new questions get asked, do you have a way to rank them by frequency and add them as new logic to the chatbot? If you do, your chatbot gets more useful and provides even greater convenience to the workforce. How great would it be to hear your colleagues saying it was so convenient to report an incident and see that it was handled in such a timely manner. Find ways to build that experience and you will become the partner the business wants. Last, but not least, is the 9th C of Consistency. Want to know how to create an audit finding? Try not being consistent. Auditors hate that and love to point out inconsistencies in systems. I'm sure there are auditors right now listening to this podcast smiling with joy saying, "yup, that's me." Want to know how to pass every audit standard? Try passing the CARE Standard for cyber security. CARE is a Gartner acronym that means Consistent, Adequate, Reasonable and Effective. Auditors look at the Consistency of controls by performing tests to determine if the control is working the same way over time across the organization. Auditors also look for Adequacy to determine if you have satisfactory controls in line with business needs. Auditors ensure that your practices are Reasonable by identifying if there exist appropriate, fair, and moderate controls. Finally, auditors look at Effectiveness to ensure the controls are producing the desired or intended outcomes. So, in a nutshell, show Auditors that you CARE about cyber security. Okay, let's review. Our nine Cs are for executives, developers, and SOC teams. Executives should master controls, compliance, and continuity; developers should master coverage, complexity, and competency; and SOC teams should focus on clarity, communications, and consistency. If you paid careful attention, I think you would find lessons for security leaders in all nine boxes across the model. Essentially, don't conclude because boxes four through nine are not for executives that you don't need to master them -- all of this is important to being successful in your security leadership career.

We're near the end for both the original era of the show and, unbeknownst at the time, the life of our host but that's not going to stop anyone from delivering one of the most striking and original episodes the show has done. Only one viewing and you too will be a Strother Brother.
Dana and Tom discuss the preeminent hockey movie, Slap Shot (1977): directed by George Roy Hill, written by Nancy Dowd, starring Paul Newman and Strother Martin. Plot Summary: Reggie Dunlop (Paul Newman) is the player/coach of the Charlestown Chiefs, a minor league hockey team in rural Pennsylvania. When the local mill is announced to be closing, Dunlop desperately tries to rally his last place team enough to try and force a sale of the team, and has to resort to bullying and manipulative tactics to both win games and win back the hometown fans. When Dunlop relents to allowing the wildly aggressive and increasingly violent Hanson brothers into games, the Chiefs go on a winning streak by completely beating up their opponents. Nevertheless, can Dunlop save the Chiefs and his career? Please follow, rate, and review the show wherever you get your podcasts.

Lou Antonio is an actor and director perhaps best known for playing Koko in the 1967 classic Cool Hand Luke. But his part in that film was just one role in a long career dedicated to the stage, screen, and working behind the camera. Over the years, he met and worked with everyone from George C. Scott and Liz Taylor to Laurence Olivier, William Shatner, and Burt Reynolds. The son of a Greek immigrant father, Lou grew up in Oklahoma, where he played baseball and football. A bad shoulder injury, however, killed his dreams of being a ballplayer. In New York, Lou studied with Curt Conway and Lee Strasberg before landing roles on TV and in film. In the 1950s and 60s, he was working with acclaimed directors such as Elia Kazan and Otto Preminger. He also met and worked with an impressive array of actors on such films as Splendor in the Grass and Hawaii. Lou takes the title of his book from Cool Hand Luke, the Paul Newman film about Lucas Jackson, a prisoner on a chain gang who will not conform to the rules. In addition to Newman, Lou played scenes with the legendary Dennis Hopper, Harry Dean Stanton, Strother Martin, George Kennedy, and Joe Don Baker. In part one of this two-part conversation, Lou discusses how he got from Oklahoma to Hollywood and all the interesting people he met along the way.
Pressure. Worry. Anxiety. Fear. Dread. The human brain - 3 pounds and 15 centimeters of incredible processing power. About the size of two clenched fists, which may be a fitting comparative measurement for many of us. Lots of us go through life clenching our minds. That's the opposite of having or getting our minds right. I think about the Old Testament figure, King Saul. Early in his reign, with Samuel as his mentor, Saul was a great warrior for Israel. He conquered enemies and made progress in creating a nation out of the twelve tribes. Then David entered the picture. Saul began to show signs of emotional distress and anxiety. According to 1 Samuel 16:14, it was made worse because God's Spirit left him due to his own self-centeredness. Ironically, only David's harp playing drove the demon away (verse 23). Growing up it was my first encounter with the power of music in helping us get our minds right. I've wondered what influence that has on my lifelong love affair with music. I know this much...my life would be significantly less calm, less thoughtful, and less whatever else might describe good feelings without it. As I write this I'm listening to Jackson Browne's latest record, Downhill From Everywhere. No, I don't agree with his liberal politics, but that's just a perspective rather than some agenda 'cause I'm apolitical. Jackson is very political, but I love his voice and the music. I can overlook what I disagree with and enjoy the man's talent. When it comes to music, I'm able to keep my mind right. ;) I can't think of any phrase involving "getting your mind right" without thinking of Strother Martin's character in Cool Hand Luke starring Paul Newman. Paul Newman's character, Luke, is on a prison chain gang. He's popular with the other inmates. He's also constantly escaping, but he refused to break under the pressure of the warden, played by Strother Martin. But the guards and the warden are constantly exhorting Luke to "get his mind right." Translation, stop giving us trouble. Just do as you're told. Well, I don't mean it that way. So let's talk about what it really means to have your mind right by first talking about having your mind wrong. P.S. There is a place where I'm better able to get my mind right. It's why I started a new podcast about 60 days ago - HotSpringsVillageInsideOut.com.
Much like many western films, another great place to find killer moustaches are in 1970s sports films and it is possible that 1977's Slapshot may have the most. If this movie had a fu manchu it would be one holy grail of a moustachioed movie. We honor the great Strother Martin for this one and I welcome Sir Charles of Sacto and the homie Robby Robertson to the show once again.

The eighth episode of our season on the awesome movie year of 1967 features Jason's personal pick, Stuart Rosenberg's Cool Hand Luke. Directed by Stuart Rosenberg from a script by Donn Pearce and Frank R. Pierson (based on Pearce's novel) and starring Paul Newman, George Kennedy, Strother Martin, Morgan Woodward and Clifton James, Cool Hand Luke was nominated for four Oscars and won one. The post Cool Hand Luke (1967 Jason's Pick) appeared first on Awesome Movie Year.
"My God...They're All Mad." For the first time in a long time, the door of THE NIGHTMARE CLOSET is about to slowly swing open once again and unleash another movie that completely traumatized me when I saw it as a child. This time, the evil let loose upon the world is BROTHERHOOD OF SATAN (1971). The tiny town of Hillsboro finds itself under attack by mysterious unknown forces. Unable to leave, entire families are slaughtered while the children vanish without a trace. Little do they know that a coven of witches has taken root in Hillsboro with nefarious plans for their children. This movie has everything. Creepy kids! Creepy kids with creepy music boxes! Killer toys! Evil cake! Fidel Castro! Fake Jan! Literally, EVERYTHING!! But two things this movie does not have are two gentlemen who are experts in the field of cinematic sleaze and drive-in exploitation. Therefore, I am very fortunate to have two such gentlemen, https://www.facebook.com/GroovyDoom (BILL VAN RYN) and https://www.facebook.com/GroovyDoom (SAM PANICO) from https://www.facebook.com/GroovyDoom (GROOVY DOOM), as my guests this evening.

In the forty-sixth episode of Season 3 (Manifest Destiny) Kyle is joined by script supervisor Katy Baldwin and screenwriter David Gutierrez to discuss an oddly tender addition to the filmography of Sam Peckinpah, the often times bizarre and incredibly thoughtful ode to the end of the West in The Ballad of Cable Hogue.
Jim reflects on a Sci-Fi gem from 1953, "The Magnetic Monster," starring Richard Carlson, King Donovan, Jean Byron, John Zaremba, Byron Foulger and Strother Martin. A "lone-wolf" scientist creates a radioactive substance that threatens not only the country but the the entire world. Two scientists from the "Office of Scientific Investigation" must race against the clock to find a way to stop it. Find out more about this cult classic on this week's episode of "Monster Attack!"

The twelfth episode of our season on the awesome movie year of 1977 features our future cult classic pick, George Roy Hill’s Slap Shot. Directed by George Roy Hill from a script by Nancy Dowd and starring Paul Newman, Michael Ontkean, Lindsay Crouse, Strother Martin and Jennifer Warren, Slap Shot was a critical and commercial failure upon its release but has since built up a cult following. The post Slap Shot (1977 Future Cult Classic) appeared first on Awesome Movie Year.
Dana and Tom discuss the movie that Paul Newman might be most known for, Cool Hand Luke. We hope we didn't fail to communicate on this one. When petty criminal Luke Jackson (Paul Newman) is sentenced to two years in a Florida prison farm, he doesn't play by the rules of either the sadistic warden (Strother Martin) or the yard's resident heavy, Dragline (George Kennedy), who ends up admiring the new guy's unbreakable will. Luke's bravado, even in the face of repeated stints in the prison's dreaded solitary confinement cell, "the box," make him a rebel hero to his fellow convicts and a thorn in the side of the prison officers.

Yvon Barrette's iconic portrayal of Goalie Denis Lemieux in the legendary 1977 movie "Slap Shot" produced some of the most memorable moments of the movie, which starred Paul Newman, Michael Ontkean, Strother Martin and the Hanson Brothers, played by Steve and Jeff Carlson and Dave Hanson of the Johnstown Jets.

Every week on The Twilight Zone Zone,we go down Donald Liebenson’s list The 26 Episodes We Talk About When We Talk About The Twilight Zone from Vanity Fair, chronologically by release date and compare two episodes and choose which one to recommend. This week we watched "The Grave” and “It’s a Good Life” “The Grave” Months before Lee Marvin, Strother Martin, and Lee Van Cleef starred in John Ford’s classic Western The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, they co-starred in this episode, a Western ghost story (ghostern?) about a gunman who is dared to make a midnight visit to the grave of the freshly gunned-down killer he relentlessly pursued but failed to capture. It boasts a great script, eerie atmosphere, and Lee Marvin at his Lee Marvin-est (“I don’t get my nerve from this gun . . . I had it long before I could even pick one of them up”). And the ending is a real grabber. “It’s a Good Life” The twist is revealed right up top: the monster who has made the world go away, save for his rural Ohio village, is a six-year-old boy (Bill Mumy) who can read thoughts, control even the weather with his mind, and transform those who would wish him harm into “grotesque walking horror.” Demon kids are always creepy, but this episode plays like the ultimate nightmare of a society destroyed by the spoiled children of overindulgent parents. (Yes, The Simpsons did this one, too, with Bart as the monster.) There are many paths in life, but which one will you travel down in the Twilight Zone, Zone… Host: Nic Hoffmann Panel: Matthew and Daniel

Greetings Hitchhikers & welcome to our second entry for It Came from Late Night TV Month for EP. 40 where we are bringing to you Sssssss (1973)!!! First things first, we want to apologize for the poor audio quality we are regrettably exposing you to for this episode. Skype wasn’t our friend the night we recorded this show and our schedules didn’t allow us time to re-record segments that truly needed redone. This is the best chicken salad we could come up with. Anyways, we ask, “What exactly did Strother Martin inject Dirk Benedict with in one particular scene and was Harry, the drunken snake once human or a real snake?” Also, we discuss our favorite special FX/transformation movies from yesteryear. Our personal feelings toward the snake kingdom are revealed and we spitball ideas for the sequel that never happened.
Introduction Only correct speech is not violence. And only correct speech is acceptable. That is the subject of today’s 10-minute episode. Continuing In the movie, “Cool Hand Luke”, Paul Newman plays prisoner Luke Jackson. Strother Martin is the Captain in this Southern chain gang prison film. After trying to escape for the second time, the Captain says to Luke, “You run one time, you got yourself a set of chains. You run twice, you got yourself two sets. You ain't gonna need no third set 'cause you're gonna get your mind right. And I mean RIGHT. [To the other inmates] Take a good look at Luke. Cool Hand Luke?” Powerful forces are working, with increasing success, to get all of our minds “right”. And it is not just the media, powerful political groups and social media working on our minds--sometimes it is family and friends. Luke never beat the system, but he refused to let them get his “mind right.” And he left an important legacy for his fellow inmates. The First Amendment is not just about speech; it covers 5 important freedoms: religion, speech, the press, peaceful assembly and redress of grievances. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” The need to guarantee free speech arises because we all need to be free to say and write things that may deeply disturb some others, even things those others might find hateful. The First Amendment right to free speech is there to protect speech that some may find deeply objectionable. If people wish to be deeply offended, that’s on them, but the so-called offensive speech is--and must be--protected. And as silly as it may be to have to point this out, silence is also protected. Without offensive speech, without hate speech, there would be no need for the Constitutionally guaranteed free speech. In recent years, “Speech is Violence” became a slogan with certain crowds. Groups protesting speakers would claim that their violence in shutting down the speaker was justified because of what the speaker said--or was said to have said. “We will shut this talk down by any means necessary. His speech is violence and we must respond with violence.” The speaker did not need to even hint at violence to give rise to this claim. All he had to do was say the “wrong” things. This early cancel culture soon spread to the media, social media and politics. We will see that clearly now as we start a list of examples with the Tom Cotton op-ed piece in the New York Times. The Times published an op-ed by Republican senator Tom Cotton, arguing that the president should invoke the Insurrection Act, sending federal troops to help restore order across the country. In response, reporters and editors at the Times took to Twitter to insist that the paper must “retract” Cotton’s op-ed as it “puts Black New York Times staff in danger.” In a fight that developed between the older, liberal (in the original sense of the word) staff and the younger, progressive staff, the editor of the Times, James Bennett, 54, was forced to resign. Over an op-ed piece. In case you thought this was a one off, and could only happen at the Times, in nearby Philadelphia at the Inquirer, its editor, Stan Wischnowski, 58, was forced to resign over the assigned title to an article. The headline, “Buildings Matter, Too,” was not chosen by the author, Inga Saffron, the paper’s architecture critic. Saffron’s article worried that buildings damaged in violence over the past week could “leave a gaping hole in the heart of Philadelphia.” I would not have chosen that headline, and at the same time one would have to be wed to an agenda to make the case that the headline means that buildings matter more than or as much as Black Lives. No sane person would choose property over life,

43 years ago in the Paul Newman Hockey film "Slap Shot" the world fell in love with the game and The Hanson Brothers". A trio of goons who were brothers called up from the Iron Range league to hook up with Charlestown Chiefs of the Federal League. Dave Hanson, who was originally hired to play "Killer" Carlson, was later switched to portray one of the Hanson Brothers. Says the film was a blast to make, There was nothing but fun on the set and he remained good friends with Paul Newman after shooting. You'll never guess who was originally asked to play the role of Reg Dunlap before Newman. Dave also says a few of the scenes were taken from real life events. Strother Martin and Michael Ontkean also started in this 1977 classic hit. The first of many sports films to start rolling out of Hollywood.
"You see this quarter? It used to be a nickel."Slap Shot (1977) directed by George Roy Hill and starring Paul Newman, Strother Martin, Michael Ontkean, Jeff Carlson, Steve Carlson and David Hanson Next Time: The Long Hot Summer (1958)
Director Walter Hill had his hands full on the set of his 1975 directorial debut Hard Times. He had cast Charles Bronson in the lead role of Chaney, a boxer who says little but can knock a man out with one punch, only to find that the actor could be angry and reclusive on set. James Coburn took the part of Speed, Chaney's manager, but resented playing second fiddle to Bronson and showed it on set. And third starring Strother Martin also tested Hill's patience by playing the eccentric doctor Poe comically over the top. Dan and Vicky discuss what many consider to be one of the best fighting movies ever made with and the definitive Charles Bronson performance. They also talk about their recently seen including Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Midsommar, Hobbs and Shaw, 1939's The Women, After Hours, Crawl, HBO's Chernobyl, Amazon's The Boys and Netflix's Kim's Convenience. Episode 91: Hard Times will knock you out! Leave us some feedback and check out our website at hotdatepod.com.
Nathan and Eppy cover our second two-parter episode, a Season Three gem featuring notable character actor Strother Martin as the titular T.T. Flowers, an elderly farmer who refuses to sell his land to a predatory real estate developer. Through a scheme involving his shady son-in-law and an ethically bankrupt psychiatrist, T.T. is hauled off against his will to a mental institution; but Rocky knows that something isn't right. Once he get Jim on the case, it's just a matter of time until he starts to uncover the scheme, but he faces numerous attempts on his life as he tries to find some hard evidence to prove the wild conspiracy. With a genius framing device that unites both episodes as one story, great performances all around and some great action sequences, we really enjoyed this one. Recommended!

Summary Ralph Northam, Governor of Virginia, should resign. But not for the reasons that most people are citing--the outrageous photo on his medical school yearbook page showing youths, one in blackface and the other in full KKK garb. He originally admitted to having been one of the men, and later simply denied it. He is clearly backpedaling, and not telling the truth. Perhaps to soften the lie, he then admitted to having appeared in blackface at least once when impersonating Michael Jackson. Once again, it is not the original action that brings people down; it is the coverup. (See Watergate.) People who make mistakes, repent and learn from them can be valuable teachers and leaders. Northam has demonstrated neither repentance nor learning. He is simply stonewalling, hoping that the news cycle will forget about him, and that he will not have to resign. And he is the same man who accused his 2017 gubernatorial election opponent of racism multiple times during the campaign. That is why he should resign. For the next 10 minutes, we will unpack what it means to have made a mistake, repented and learned from it, as opposed to having make the same mistake with no repentance, no shame and no learning.

Today’s Key Point, part 1: Today’s PC culture, PCism, of self-righteous intimidation is doing major damage. PCism should not be dismissed humorously, or even bitterly, as merely a language nuisance. PSism is aimed at limiting and directing our thoughts and speech. Similar to Strother Martin’s role in Cool Hand Luke, a movie where Martin works constantly to get a prisoner, Paul Newman’s “mind right.” Martin is the Captain of the guards in this Southern chain gang prison. Newman, Luke, is a prisoner. Martin uses his power as the Captain on Luke throughout the movie through intimidation, beatings and worse, to change how Luke thinks. Captain, “You’re gonna get your mind right. And I mean right.” It is important to note here that Luke was not a problem prisoner--at least in the way that most of us would define the term problem prisoner. He was quietly irreverent; he did not suck up to barracks and chain gang guards in the obsequious way that most prisoners did. That’s enough for the power structure to need to come down hard on Luke. Very hard. And all for easily overlooked slights. The specific slights were not the issue; the prison authorities saw that Luke’s mind was running on a track different track than what they wanted. And they saw that thought difference as dangerous. Luke was different. All the lumps in the mashed potatoes had to be beaten out. That’s exactly what PCism is all about. Pronouns are not the issue. Complimenting a woman on her outfit, or a man on his haircut, are not the issue.
Paul Newman Month Continues!"Sometimes nothin' can be a real good hand." Cool Hand Luke (1967) directed by Stuart Rosenberg and starring Paul Newman, George Kennedy and Strother Martin. Next Time: Harper (1966)
Edición 177 de La Gran Evasión, 10/4/2018, esta noche de tormenta veremos que la voluntad del hombre es inconquistable, asistiremos a la forja de una leyenda, de un mito, de Luke el indomable, un excelso Paul Newman en la obra cumbre de Stuart Rosenberg, La Leyenda del Indomable, 1967. Magnifica parábola este Cool Hand Luke, todo un análisis de esos soldados que regresaron de la segunda guerra mundial y se trajeron la guerra con ellos, una premonición de la desconexión con el sistema, que llegaría en los años sesenta, pero la película es mucho más, de fondo, deja profundas reflexiones: Preferir la muerte a vivir entre grilletes, el Sacrificio que conlleva una autentica amistad, el Precio a pagar por tus Principios, la Dignidad del ser humano, el Cruel y Brutal sistema penitenciario, la Religión, la Forja de los mitos, esos Mártires que todos necesitamos, para no rendirnos, para no olvidar lo que somos, hombres, ni bestias, ni esclavos, simplemente, Hombres. La película de Rosenberg se mueve por el gran guión de Donn Pearce y Frank Pierson, basado en la novela, con trazos autobiográficos, de éste último, con emoción y cine, transita por la voluntad de Luke a través de escenas míticas, que ya forman parte de la historia del cine, la de los huevos, el alquitranado de la carretera, la llegada de la madre, el símbolo fascista y represor de ese guardián con gafas de espejo, el sadismo del Capitán, el sometimiento de la voluntad a partir de la rutina, de las reglas… Luke es un canto rodado, un insurrecto por genética, su obstinación es admirada por los reclusos y también rechazada, lo convierten en un ídolo, al que adoran primero y repudian después, otra alegoría cristiana. Para ser una leyenda, un mártir, debe haber un sacrificio, una entrega, unos “milagros”, que son sus hazañas… Pocos confían en ese espíritu, incluso los espectadores nos creemos su rendición, cuando lo atrapan por segunda vez, su sometimiento, tras la escena de la zanja, terrible, literalmente cava su tumba y se sepulta, su cuerpo se rinde pero su alma…NO. Se convierte en un mártir y tiene sus apóstoles, su acólito, Dragline, George Kennedy, su misión será mantener vivo el recuerdo de Luke, de un tipo indomable que realizó prodigios increíbles, y que sobre todo, era su amigo. Paul Newman está pletórico, nos brinda una gran interpretación, el Oscar se lo arrebató Rod Steiger por En el Calor de la noche (Jewison), pero Luke merecía la estatuilla, ese laconismo con el que se expresa, sólo habla para sentenciar, brillante. Consigue transmitir esa terquedad con su presencia, con su actitud ante el poder y la autoridad, fue ascendido y condecorado en la guerra, pero también degradado a soldado raso, ante alguna injusticia que no permitió, es un rebelde que no sabe que hacer ni como actuar en el mundo civil, siempre fuera de lugar, incapaz de acatar las reglas, los corsés sociales. Romper unos parquímetros le acarrean dos años de trabajos forzados… Los secundarios, vistos hoy en día son tremendos, Hopper, Dean Stanton, Strother Martin, George Kennedy, a destacar el breve, pero inolvidable papel, de la madre de Luke, Arletta, la gran Jo Van Fleet, una actriz de teatro inmensa, que en apenas unos minutos deja marca. La película realiza una clara denuncia de la crueldad penitenciaria, de los abusos de poder, de la vileza de los poderosos, el despotismo, la arbitrariedad y el sadismo de los jefes, acrecentado con ese “Jefe, ¿puedo...?” Todos deben pedir permiso, para secarse el sudor, para quitarse la camisa, para beber agua, hasta para mear, una humillación constante. La fotografía de Conrad L. Hall es muy importante, la narración se nutre de esa estética realista, notamos el calor, el sofocante calor, los sudores, los mosquitos, la atmósfera opresiva del barracón, los atardeceres llenos de simbolismo y libertad, con las siluetas de hombres engrilletados, esos crepúsculos desde una carretera interminable, geniales, ademas utiliza muchos ángulos ingeniosos, ver la fuga a través del reflejo de las gafas del jefe, las tomas desde arriba de Luke en la escena de los huevos, prácticamente un Cristo crucificado… El ritmo es pausado, pero cuando la historia lo requiere, salimos de la rutina y respiramos con los prodigios de Luke, ahí el montaje y el ritmo se aceleran, como en la primera fuga y su astucia para despistar a los sabuesos, otro golpe más a la conciencia, pues se siente más la muerte de un animal que la de un preso. Todo el conjunto está apoyado en una genial banda sonora de Lalo Schifrin, mezclando esos temas de guitarra y banjo, llenos de sentimiento y dolor, canciones populares del sur, de esos desposeídos, y las mezcla, con la emoción del uso de instrumentos de viento. Schifrin era un auténtico maestro en melodías. Bonus Track: Os dejamos como bonus un par de maravillas, otro tema de la banda sonora de Schifrin, el del concurso de comer huevos duros y una versión del Cotton Field, a cargo de la Creedence Clearwater Revival, que aparece en su memorable disco "Willy And The Poor Boys" (1969). Disfrutad de la libertad. -Egg Eating Contest -Cotton Fields Huimos del campo de trabajos forzados de Radiopolis, despistando a los sabuesos…..José Miguel Moreno, Gervi Navío y moviendo astutamente las ramas del cine con un cordelito, nuestro crítico, César Bardés Gervasio Navío Flores.

Dean Smith has taken falls from galloping horses, engaged in fistfights with Kirk Douglas and George C. Scott, donned red wig and white tights to double Maureen O’Hara, and taught Goldie Hawn how to talk like a Texan. He’s dangled from a helicopter over the skyscrapers of Manhattan while clutching a damsel in distress, hung upside down from a fake blimp 200 feet over the Orange Bowl, and replicated one of the most famous scenes in movie history by climbing on a thundering team of horses to stop a runaway stagecoach. Cowboy Stuntman chronicles the life and achievements of this colorful Texan and Olympic gold medal winner who spent a half century as a Hollywood stuntman and actor, appearing in ten John Wayne movies and doubling for a long list of actors as diverse as Robert Culp, Michael Landon, Steve Martin, Strother Martin, Robert Redford, and Roy Rogers.
