On today's page, Chullin 12, the rabbis wrestle with a deceptively modern question: when can we trust that someone claiming expertise actually knows what they're doing? Is watching a person perform a task enough, or do credentials and reputation matter more than appearances alone? The daf becomes a meditation on trust, supervision, and the limits of what we can truly verify, themes that feel especially urgent in an age of AI, performance, and manufactured authority. In a world full of experts, how do we tell the real thing from the convincing fake? Listen and find out. Also mentioned in today's episode: A Tie in Tel Aviv

More To The Story: In 2002, journalist Vicky Ward—then a writer for Vanity Fair magazine—was assigned to investigate a mysterious New York City financier named Jeffrey Epstein. During her reporting, she stumbled upon sexual abuse allegations against Epstein by Maria and Annie Farmer whose account was ultimately cut from Ward's piece, titled “The Talented Mr. Epstein.” That decision sparked recriminations between Ward and then-Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter that have continued for more than a decade.On this week's episode, Ward looks back at the editorial decisions surrounding her 2003 Vanity Fair profile of Epstein, the role Ghislaine Maxwell played in Epstein's crimes, and shares what she thinks about the circumstances surrounding the convicted sex offender's death.Following our interview with Ward, we reached out to Maria and Annie Farmer for comment. Portions of their response appear in this week's episode, and their full comment can be read here. We also reached back out to Vicky Ward.

This book was a vivid portrayal of queer desire. It didn't have a happy ending, but it had a positive ending.Today we meet Lynette D'Amico and we're talking about the queer book that saved her life: Carol by Patricia Highsmith.Lynette D'Amico is an essayist and fiction writer whose work has appeared in The Gettysburg Review, The Ocean State Review and at Brevity, Slag Glass City, Short Reads, and Guernica. Her memoir in essays Men I Hate, won the Gournay Nonfiction Prize and was published by Mad Creek Books in 2026. She holds an MFA from the Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College. She makes her home in Rhode Island, but she has a prairie eye.Originally published as The Price of Salt, Carol is based on a true story plucked from Highsmith's own life. It tells the riveting drama of Therese Belivet, a stage designer trapped in a department-store day job, whose routine is forever shattered by a gorgeous epiphany--the appearance of Carol Aird, a customer who comes in to buy her daughter a Christmas toy. They fall in love and set out across the United States, ensnared by society's confines and the imminent disapproval of others, yet propelled by their infatuation.Patricia Highsmith was the author of more than twenty novels, including Strangers on a Train, The Price of Salt and The Talented Mr. Ripley, as well as numerous short stories.Connect with Lynettewebsite: lynettedamico.cominstagram: @sicilianblade2substack: substack.com/@lynettedamicoOur BookshopVisit our Bookshop for new releases, current bestsellers, banned books, critically acclaimed LGBTQ books, or peruse the books featured on our podcasts: bookshop.org/shop/thisqueerbookBuy your copy of Carol here: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9780393325997Buy your copy of Men I Hate: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9780814259696Become an Associate Producer!Become an Associate Producer of our podcast through a $20/month sponsorship on Patreon!

Le Talentueux Mr Ripley, The Talented Mr Ripley, est un film dʹAnthony Minghella, sorti en 1999. Anthony Minghella est un réalisateur fort sympathique qui vient de faire un carton avec son film précédent le Patient Anglais. En 1999, il revient sur le devant de la scène avec lʹadaptation du roman Monsieur Ripley de Patricia Highsmith publié en 1955. Déjà adapté en 1960 par René Clément, sous le titre Plein Soleil avec Alain Delon, lʹadaptation dʹAnthony Minghella est légèrement différente, moins noire et plus existentialiste peut-être. Mais son adaptation est remarquée autant que remarquable mettant en lumière à nouveau le roman indémodable de Patricia Highsmith. À lʹécran, des jeunes comédiennes et comédiens aussi talentueux que le titre du film : jʹai nommé Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cate Blanchett, Jude Law et Philip Seymour Hoffman. Lʹhistoire est celle de Tom Ripley qui par un concours de circonstance est envoyé en Italie pour aller rechercher un fils à papa noceur, cynique et millionnaire, Dickie, et le ramener sur le droit chemin, cʹest-à-dire en Amérique. Mais Dickie coule la belle vie en Italie, cette fameuse Dolce Vita que lʹon voit dans les films de Fellini et nʹentend pas rentrer au bercail. Et Ripley non plus dʹailleurs qui commence à beaucoup, beaucoup, beaucoup aimer la vie de Dickie au point de prendre sa place. Il y a lʹesprit de Scott Fitzgerald qui plane sur le film avec des jeunes gens trop beau, un peu trop riches, un peu ambivalent sexuellement. Minghella capture lʹItalie, la lumière, le jazz des années 50, mais également la noirceur dʹun homme prêt à tout pour être aimé, en quête de sa propre identité. Le talentueux Mr Ripley est un drame qui sʹinscrit dès le départ dans une gaité factice. Il nʹy a pas de rédemption, juste une noirceur qui engloutit tous les personnages.

In this solo episode of Decorating Pages, Kim Wannop shares 15 movies every production design student and new set decorator should watch — not just the obvious staples, but the films that teach real lessons in character, mood, atmosphere, restraint, clutter, glamour, symbolism, and storytelling through space. The episode is built around the idea that a room can tell you who a person is before the actor even opens their mouth, and Kim walks through what to look for in films from Our Dancing Daughters and Great Expectations to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Barry Lyndon, Rocky, All the President's Men, The Wiz, Pulp Fiction, Romeo + Juliet, Gattaca, and The Talented Mr. Ripley. It's a craft-forward episode for film students, art department assistants, decorators, and anyone who wants to train their eye and look at movies a little deeper.

J. R. Thornton was born in London and graduated from Harvard College in 2014, where he studied history, English, and Chinese.  He later competed for Harvard as an internationally ranked junior tennis player on the men's professional circuit.  Shortly after graduating from Harvard, J. R. published his first novel, Beautiful Country, loosely inspired by experiences he had living in Beijing as a teenager. The novel became a best-seller in China, and the film rights were subsequently purchased by WME/IMG. J. R. returned to China in 2016 as a member of the inaugural class of Schwarzman Scholars, earning an M.A. from Tsinghua University. He lives in Milan, where he works for AC Milan. Lucien is his second novel.  Lucien is described as an incendiary literary work about a gifted artist on financial aid at Harvard who falls victim to the manipulative control of his wealthy, enigmatic roommate. Drawing inspiration from the true crime stories of Christian Gerhartsreiter (a.k.a. "Clark Rockefeller") and Adam Wheeler, Lucien is an immensely entertaining novel that will appeal to fans of The Secret History, The Incendiaries, The Talented Mr. Ripley, and Saltburn. This is complicated, toxic friendship and dark academia at its best. We talk about how he got started writing, lessons learned playing professional tennis, how he got his first agent, his writing routine, becoming immersed in his novel while writing it, maintaining discipline, writing in alternate places, where the idea for Lucien came from, developing the main character, publuishing, books and authors we love, cultivating creativity and curiosity, writing a screenplay, advice for writers, time travel, and we discuss I highlights I took from the book.  links are on the podcast shownotes page support the show through Patreon

JD Vance has had an unorthodox rise to power. After a troubled childhood, he joined the Marines, graduated from Yale Law School, became a best-selling author, and then won a seat in the U.S. Senate. And now, at only 41, he is Vice President to Donald Trump, a man who Vance once described as "America's Hitler" and "cultural heroin."In this Best Of episode, we revisit our June 2025 conversation with The Atlantic's George Packer. His piece, “The Talented Mr. Vance,” explores Vance's political transformation and whether he genuinely evolved his political views or cynically abandoned his principles for ambition.We also look at the Democrats' path forward. Packer shares how they can respond to Trump's appeal to disengaged voters.Read Packer's writing in The Atlantic: https://www.theatlantic.com/author/george-packer/

Send a textIt's a bittersweet day at The Wall Street Skinny, where we are recapping the SEASON FINALE!! While this one is lighter on finance than most episodes this season, we still dig into the mechanics of closing out a massive short position without spooking the tape. We also break down how hedge fund fees actually work — the industry-standard "two and twenty" structure where managers earn a 2% management fee on assets under management plus 20% of profits — and use that framework to reverse-engineer what this three-person fund operating out of a hotel room should have actually earned versus what got paid out. The numbers don't quite add up, and we have thoughts.This finale also takes a hard pivot into politics, power brokering, and some very dark territory for one of our favorite characters. We trace every reference and detail — from Walt Whitman to the Talented Mr. Ripley, George Orwell to Henry VIII — and debate what the show is setting up for its next chapter. Character arcs that have been building all season reach their breaking points, alliances shatter in stunning ways, and the episode forces us to ask whether people are truly capable of change or destined to become the very thing they fought against.We share our honest reactions to what worked and what left us frustrated, revisit our season-long theories one final time, and give our last bullish and bearish calls of the season. Thank you to every single listener who joined us on this ride — your feedback, theories, and insights made this our favorite recording day of the week.

Bad Dads Film Review heads to the Italian Riviera this week for The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) — a sun-drenched, jazz-soaked psychological thriller where gorgeous people do terrible things, and the worst person in the room still somehow isn't the guy committing the murders.We follow Tom Ripley (Matt Damon), a small-time grifter with big social ambitions, who's handed a golden ticket: travel to Italy and convince trust-fund prince Dickie Greenleaf (prime Jude Law, unfairly beautiful) to come home. Tom doesn't just want Dickie's friendship — he wants Dickie's life. And once he's tasted that world of money, effortless charm, and endless leisure, he's willing to do whatever it takes to stay in it.What we talked about“Great Gatsby, but murderous”: Tom as the outsider who doesn't just observe the rich — he tries to become them (and wear their face if needed).The grift mechanics: the Princeton jacket con, the “research” phase, practicing mannerisms and music tastes, and how the film turns impersonation into a craft.The seduction of wealth: why you're weirdly happy to watch Tom infiltrate a circle of vapid, obscenely privileged characters.Obsession and desire: the homoerotic undertones, Tom's fixation on Dickie, and how the film frames identity as something you can steal… if you're ruthless enough.Set-piece escalation: the boat trip and the brutal turning point; the forged signatures, dual hotel check-ins, staged evidence, and the constant “one more lie to cover the last lie” tension.Freddy as the threat (Philip Seymour Hoffman): the first person with enough real-world instincts to sniff out “new money” fraud — and what happens when he pushes it.The ending sting: Tom “gets away with it”… but the price is isolation, paranoia, and the realization that the spoils aren't worth much when you can't live as yourself.Aging and attitudes: how the film plays in 2026 — including a chat about whether some of the sexuality/“homosexual as threat” framing feels dated.Plus: we somehow opened with a Top 5 Mats segment that should not work… and absolutely does.Standard Bad Dads warning: spoilers throughout, strong language, and the kind of moral compass that's been left outside on a bath mat since the Blair government.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us. We'll read out any texts we receive on the show. Click here to try it out!We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it.

Faith in Focus is in its last season! This bittersweet swan song of a year is immersed in the Best Year in Film™: 1999.Tracy and Jason begin their last category of films – Staying Power – with a look back at what feels like it could have been filmed just this last year: Anthony Minghella's adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's masterpiece: The Talented Mr. Ripley.

**THIS EPISODE CONTAINS FULL SPOILERS**Tom Ripley is BACK! And this time, it's colder, darker, and shot in gorgeous black and white. In today's episode of the Film is Lit podcast, we dissect "Ripley," the 2024 series that turns fraud into high art. From Andrew Scott's quietly terrifying performance to the show's deliberate pacing and razor-sharp visual style, could this be one of our favorite limited series of all time? Plus, how does it stack up against "The Talented Mr. Ripley?" All we know is that Patricia Highsmith would be proud of this adaptation.#AndrewScott #DakotaFanning #JohnnyFlynn #EliotSumner #StevenZaillian #RobertElswit #PatriciaHighsmith #FilmisLitpodcast #booktoscreen #Netflix

A deep dive into the psychological thriller, The Talented Mr. Ripley.

Send us a textToday's episode is my conversation about the 1930 film All Quiet on the Western Front. I'm joined by Kyle Wilson from the Oscar Chaser newsletter and we talk about the challenges of making a film about WWI from the German perspective in the United States, how many of the greatest war movies are about what war does to a person and how they deal with going back to normal life after what they've seen in war, and how this film doesn't shy away from so many of the grisly realities of warfare. You can watch All Quiet on the Western Front online at The Internet Archive, Tubi, or rent it from Amazon, or pick up a DVD copy for your collection. And be sure to check out Kyle's newsletter.Other films mentioned in this episode include:The Talented Mr. Ripley directed by Anthony MinghellaThe English Patient directed by Anthony MinghellaKing Kong (2005) directed by Peter JacksonThe Lord of the Rings (trilogy) directed by Peter JacksonPhiladelphia directed by Jonathan DemmeSilence of the Lambs directed by Jonathan DemmeSaving Private Ryan directed by Steven SpielbergThe Best Years of Our Lives directed by William WylerBand of Brothers (series)The Divorcee directed by Robert Z.

In this episode, we break down why 1999 is often called the best year for movies. From huge box office hits like The Phantom Menace, Toy Story 2, and The Sixth Sense to era-defining cult classics and critical darlings like Fight Club, Magnolia, Office Space, The Blair Witch Project, and The Talented Mr. Ripley. We look at what made the late-90s Hollywood pipeline so bold, how these films shaped modern filmmaking, and whether any year since has matched the sheer variety, risk-taking, and cultural impact of movies released in 1999.Chapters:00:00 Intro: why 1999 was an insane time00:46 Episode roadmap01:28 Biggest blockbusters list + what it says about the era04:23 Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace07:18 The Sixth Sense 09:01 Toy Story 210:50 Quick hits: Tarzan / The Mummy / Notting Hill / Austin Powers12:37 Oscars & award talk (American Beauty, Boys Don't Cry, The Green Mile)14:39 Magnolia18:05 The Blair Witch Project20:58 Office Space24:15 Fight Club25:41 The Talented Mr. Ripley27:46 Cruel Intentions + American Pie29:06 Election29:37 Editor note: Why Eyes Wide Shut isn't here30:00 Audition (Japan)31:33 Bollywood picks 36:51 Wrap-up + outroFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twopleasepodFollow us on X:https://x.com/TwoPleasePodFight Club:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOFvzFHQ9hI&t=705s&pp=ygUdZmlnaHQgY2x1YiB0d28gcGxlYXNlIHBvZGNhc3Q%3DThe Matrix:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK5jDv4G2eU&t=238s&pp=ygUddGhlIG1hdHJpeCB0d28gcGxlYXNlIHBvZGNhc3Q%3D

Americans were already losing touch with basic decency before Trump came along—and he exploited that indecency, distrust, and division to win power. In his new novel, George Packer spins a story of an imaginary country that just collapses, and how ordinary people have to learn to live together again. Fiction has a way of making the real world more clear. Plus, Charlie Kirk's influence on our political climate before his death, JD's phoniness and lust for power, Trump may be flailing but he's still amassed immense power, and how AI moving us away from the written word threatens our democracy. The Atlantic's George Packer joins Tim Miller for the holiday weekend pod. show notes George's new book, “The Emergency: A Novel” Tim's playlist George's piece on Arizona and Charlie Kirk from last year “The Talented Mr. Vance” piece by George Other books by George: “The Assassins' Gate” “The Unwinding: An Inner History of the New America” “Last Best Hope: America in Crisis and Renewal”

The deeper Sarah investigates, the more versions of Admiral Peter Cowell she uncovers. Online profiles, official-looking biographies, and a growing trail of uniforms and honours paint a picture that keeps shifting with every click. In this episode, Sarah traces how Cowell's public image evolved — from early job titles to later claims of international rank — and examines the psychology behind reinvention. How does a story take hold, and why do so many accomplished people accept it at face value? As new evidence emerges from emails, websites, and interviews, Sarah starts to see how credibility can be built one carefully placed detail at a time. Peter Cowell was contacted for comment during the production of this series. At the time of publication, no response has been received. All accounts and opinions in this series are those of the participants, based on their own experiences. Allegations are always attributed to their sources. The story is told in the public interest to explore how trust, belief, and ambition can intertwine.

Episode 308. We didn't intend this to be an episode where we make up movie pitches, but here we are. Kyle has an idea for the romantic comedy of the year starring heartthrob Wallace Shawn. Melissa has a Hollywood meta-thriller about an actor acting as his own dad. We talk about both Ripley's Believe It Or Not and the Talented Mr. Ripley, the biggest paintings we've ever seen, the end of Bugonia, the difference between miniseries and limited series, the difference between beach goth and coastal goth aesthetics, and asking strangers for their favorite Mark Ruffalo movie when you run out of normal small talk.Click here to watch a video of this episode.

Andrea and Jodie watched The Talented Mr. Ripley, the 1999 psychological thriller that features Jude Law at the height of his powers. We talk about what makes the casting work in a story that depends on believing Tom and Dickie's strange connection, the beauty of sun-drenched Italy on film, and Jude Law's perfect face (and terrible hat). There's also Cate Blanchett being effortlessly delightful, the realization that we maybe haven't given Matt Damon the credit he deserves, and Patricia Highsmith's stunning lifelong commitment to horrible opinions. Next week, we're talking Jennifer's Body, the horror-comedy revenge cult classic that deserved better the first time around.Recommended Reading:The Most Stylish Scammer: 20 Years of ‘The Talented Mr. Ripley'‘Visceral, sensual wonders': why The Talented Mr Ripley is my feelgood movieIf you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now.

**THIS EPISODE CONTAINS FULL SPOILERS**Fake it till you make it… or murder your way there. This week on Film Is Lit, we dive deep into "The Talented Mr. Ripley," a sun-drenched psychological thriller soaked in envy, identity, and deception. Written by Patricia Highsmith and adapted for the screen with elegance and dread by Anthony Minghella, the film features standout performances from a stacked cast. We also pay tribute to one of our all-time favorites, Philip Seymour Hoffman, who steals every scene he's in as the effortlessly snarky Freddie Miles.#filmislitpodcast #thetalentedmrripley #patriciahighsmith #mattdamon #judelaw #gwynethpaltrow #CateBlanchett #philipseymourhoffman #jackdavenport #filmnoirvibes #thrillerfilms #adaptationanalysis #booksvsmovies #filmpodcast #cinephiles #litlovers #criterioncollection #90scinema #filmcommunity #nowplaying #spoileralert #moviepodcast

"I didn't make you do anything that wasn't in you already. People are such hypocrites. They walk through their whole lives playing innocent to the day they die, but they're not innocent. I showed you that." We watched "Bad Influence" (1990) with our friend, film writer, and author, Quatoyiah Murray, and we are all vying for President of the James Spader fan club. This may be a lesser-known entry in Spader's film resume, but it is definitely worth the watch. We all came to the same conclusion - this movie is "Single White Female" coded. And by that, we mean - super queer. Rob Lowe is serving FACE as the possibly bisexual, definitely cuckoo Alex who takes an unhealthy interest in Spader's nebbish proto-finance bro, Michael. The two of them get into some "Talented Mr. Ripley”-esque shenanigans against a backdrop of early 90's Los Angeles. And we are talking, UBER LA here - Michael's apartment looks like the background of a Patrick Nagel print. It's tough to feel bad for either of these characters when they appear fairly well off, and they're both serving up face cards that would never get declined. If you love an erotic thriller with a slow jazz score with beautiful male protagonists that would definitely get into some romantic entanglements (at least in the fanfic), then this movie is for you.  Thank you for listening, and don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Bluesky: @MTMUGPod.bsky.social Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna

The Smallest Man With The Biggest Job in America Calls Out China in a Hegemonic Showdown | Trump and Musk's Refugees From an Imaginary White Genocide | Part 2 of George Packer's Atlantic Article on Our Next President, "The Talented Mr. Vance" backgroundbriefing.org/donate twitter.com/ianmastersmedia bsky.app/profile/ianmastersmedia.bsky.social facebook.com/ianmastersmedia

JD Vance has had an unorthodox rise to power. After a troubled childhood, he joined the Marines, graduated from Yale Law School, became a best-selling author, and then won a seat in the U.S. Senate. And now, at only 40, he is Vice President to Donald Trump, a man who Vance once described as "America's Hitler" and "cultural heroin." We're joined by The Atlantic's George Packer. His most recent piece, “The Talented Mr. Vance,” explores Vance's political transformation and whether or not he genuinely evolved his political views or cynically abandoned his principles for ambition. We also take a look at the Democrats' path forward. Packer shares how they can respond to Trump's appeal to disengaged voters.

Our VP used to think his path to power was through the ruling class at Yale Law School. But after 2016, he saw that his route was through Trump, so he swapped one set of elites for another. And now as a lord among the MAGA ruling class, he's embracing his true cruel, lying self—and railing against the globalists who nitpick about this silly due process thing. Meanwhile, even Elon doesn't like the bankruptcy-threatening reconciliation bill, even if it's larded with kickbacks just for him. Plus, America: stay and fight. And the biggest theft in the history of the presidency is happening every day right before our eyes.

Who's to blame for the making of The Room?This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes back Adam Lustick to discuss 2003 box office flop The Room. Written, produced, starring and directed by the one and only Tommy Wiseau, it's a masterclass in that ever so relatable phrase, “you're doing it wrong.” Did a lack of pushback lead to this epic cinematic failure? Could divine inspiration by Tennesse Williams and The Talented Mr. Ripley be to blame? Or perhaps this was due to a complete lack of self awareness across the board.

On the morning of October 25, 1943, the body of twenty-two-year-old Lion Brewery heiress, Patricia Lonergan, was discovered in a locked room in the New York apartment she shared with her infant son. Patrica was nude and had been bludgeoned with a candelabra. Suspicion quickly fell on her estranged husband, Wayne Lonergan, who had fled the country to Canada, where he was serving in the Royal Canadian Air Force.Wayne Lonergan was apprehended a few days later and returned to New York, where he was charged with the murder and two days later confessed to killing Patricia in a jealous rage. Despite his confession, Lonergan's case went to trial and quickly became one of the most sensational trials of the decade. While the murder itself was a terrible tragedy, the extensive press coverage and intense public interest was on Wayne's sexual identity and the supposedly scandalous lives of the two high society figures at the center of the case.Wayne was ultimately found guilty of the murder and served more than two decades in prison, after which he was deported back to Canada, where he resided until his death. Few people ever doubted that Wayne had indeed killed his wife; however, to this day many have questioned whether his sexuality and the couple's nontraditional marriage biased the jury against him and led to an unfair trial.Thank you to the incredible Dave White (of Bring Me the Axe and 99 Cent Rental Podcasts) for research!ReferencesAnderson-Minshall, Diane. 2021.
