On this week's Queer Cinema Catchup, Joe and Allison are once again joined by the excellent Nick and Joseph of Fish Jelly to delve into another Tennessee Williams' adaptation. This time it's the 1964 film 'The Night of the Iguana' directed by John Huston and starring Richard Burton, Ava Gardner, Deborah Kerr, and Sue Lyon. Together explore the complex themes of desire, spirituality, and salvation and share their thoughts on the performances, particularly praising Ava Gardner and Deborah Kerr, while critiquing some of the casting choices. They also touch on the queer subtext, Tennessee Williams' broader oeuvre, and how the film compares to other adaptations of his works. Closing thoughts include reflections on what could be improved and the lasting impact of the film.00:14 Introducing the Movie: The Night of the Iguana00:45 Plot Summary and Key Characters02:13 Initial Reactions and Movie Context04:38 In-depth Analysis and Comparisons07:03 Character Dynamics and Performances11:26 Symbolism and Themes17:03 Production Insights and Behind the Scenes36:39 Maxine's Jealousy and Misunderstandings37:22 Hannah's True Motives38:05 Shannon's Realism and Hustling38:33 Philosophical Reflections40:16 Maxine's Confrontation with Miss Judith40:47 Miss Judith's Obsession with Charlotte46:19 Hannah's Love Experiences48:44 The Iguana and Symbolism52:00 Differences Between the Play and the Movie54:38 Queer Themes and Interpretations57:26 Tennessee Williams' Legacy01:11:49 Behind the Scenes Drama01:12:39 Dysentery and Filming Anecdotes01:13:49 Emily Dickinson's Poem and Its Interpretation01:15:13 Themes of Death and Connection01:16:33 Reception and Oscar Nominations01:21:41 Potential for Remakes and Character Analysis01:29:39 Final Thoughts and Ratings01:32:08 Upcoming Reviews and Recommendations Hosted on Acast.

Cabaret star Meow Meow interprets Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales in inimitable style. Returning with her brilliant show The Red Shoes, about a girl possessed by a pair of vivid red shoes that won't stop dancing. Meow Meow explains why the story resonated with Andersen and discusses some of her favourite female performers from the era of the Weimar republic.The Glass Menagerie is perhaps one of the most visceral and intimate plays from Tennessee Williams and is about to open in Adelaide at State Theatre Company of South Australia. Prepare for the full intense pantheon of emotions; failed aspirations, family dysfunction and unreliable memories all set in a claustrophobic, dingy St Louis apartment during the 1930's depression. Ksenja Logos and Laurence Boxhall join us.West End star Alfie Boe is the voice that for many years has been synonymous --for international audiences-- with the character Jean Valjean in Les Miserables. An operatic tenor who is a true crossover artist, finding massive popularity for his interpretations of musical theatre standards and pop music. He is touring Australia next year.

Lesser known film adaptations such as The Fugitive Kind, The Rose Tattoo, Night of the Iguana
"The Venus flytrap, a devouring organism, aptly named for the goddess of love." ― Tennessee Williams, Suddenly Last Summer "The first screenplay Griffith wrote was Cardula, a Dracula-themed story involving a vampire music critic. After Corman rejected the idea, Griffith says he wrote a screenplay titled Gluttony, in which the protagonist was "a salad chef in a restaurant who would wind up cooking customers and stuff like that, you know? We couldn't do that though because of the code at the time. So I said, 'How about a man-eating plant?', and Roger said, 'Okay.' By that time, we were both drunk." - wikipedia
Tennessee Williams psychologisches Drama »Endstation Sehnsucht« entführt uns nach New Orleans, wo die ehemals wohlhabende Blanche DuBois (Juliane Schwabe) bei ihrer Schwester Stella (Sophie Maria Scherrieble) und ihrem Schwager Stanley Kowalski (Sven-Marcel Voss) Unterschlupf findet. Doch das Zusammenleben in der winzigen Zweizimmerwohnung des Ehepaares gestaltet sich schwierig. Blanche und Stanley geraten immer wieder aneinander, aus unterschwelliger Missgunst wird offene Feindseligkeit, bis eine Entschärfung der Situation nicht mehr möglich ist. Unsere Podcasterin Katja Schlonski hat Probeneindrücke für Sie im Gepäck, aber auch bemerkenswerte Einblicke von Regisseur Elias Perrig zur Inszenierung und ihren Hintergründen und auch von den Darstellern Juliane Schwabe, Sven-Marcel Voss und Sophie Maria Scherrieble zur Erarbeitung und Psychologie ihrer Figuren. Diese Folge bietet auf jeden Fall eine Chance, diesen absoluten Klassiker nochmal gänzlich anders kennenzulernen!
For the James Beard Award–winning writer and culinary historian Michael W. Twitty, kitchens provide a multitude of significant purposes that stretch far into the past and carry through to the present. Beyond being places where people cook, share, and eat food, they also serve as vital spaces in which to gather in community, to grieve and process trauma, to teach and learn, to dance, to heal, and to experience Black love and joy. Twitty's multilayered cooking draws on his family roots, his personal history, and his deep culinary knowledge of the American South. His latest title, the cookbook Recipes From the American South (Phaidon), brings his skill as a home cook and historically informed recipe-maker to the fore, allowing ingredients and dishes to transform into cultural and temporal touchpoints. On this episode of Time Sensitive, Twitty reflects on what researching and uncovering his ancestry has taught him about Southern cooking and himself, and shares why, for him, food functions as a tangible form of cultural reclamation and emotional healing.Special thanks to our Season 12 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes:Michael W.

Truth That Burns, Love That Heals (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof)What if the most loving thing you can do is tell the ugliest truth? We gather the crew: Jeremy Jeremiah, Bri, James St. Simon, and Mario Andrew, to sit with Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and pull apart the mendacity that keeps a family polished on the outside and starved on the inside. With literature professor James St. Simon and the team, we unpack Maggie's raw persistence, Brick's calculated indifference, and Big Daddy's denial, tracing how confrontation becomes care when someone finally says what everyone already knows.A family built on mendacity tries to hold shape while money, memory, and desire pull it apart. We trace how hard truth cuts open the wound, why Maggie stays on the roof, and how Brick's numbness begins to thaw when lies finally fail.• Maggie's persistence as a test of love• Brick's addiction as avoidance of grief and desire• Big Daddy's denial and the cost of false reassurance• The hot tin roof as a metaphor for truth and marriage• Succession, status, and how families buy distraction• Confession as an act of care, not cruelty• Surgical model of reconciliation and slow healing• Rain, sobriety, and the fragile hope of renewalWe start in that charged bedroom where Maggie claws for connection and Brick drowns in bourbon, then widen to the loud halls where inheritance schemes and polite lies pass for affection. Along the way, we explore the hot tin roof as a living metaphor: love that burns but purifies, truth that hurts but heals. We talk addiction beyond the bottle—shopping, status, busyness—and why families so often choose props over presence. The turning point comes as Brick forces Big Daddy to face mortality and Big Daddy forces Brick to face desire, betrayal, and grief. No flashbacks, no easy answers—just voices, pressure, and the slow relief that only honesty can bring.From there, we map a practical path through reconciliation. Think surgery: you cut, remove the rot, and accept the scar. The rain-soaked confrontation reads like a baptism; Brick's first dry minute hints that sober love is possible when denial finally breaks. The film's ending resists fantasy, leaving stitches instead of smooth skin, and that's the point. Healing is real, but it's slow. If you've ever chosen distraction over intimacy or kept peace by keeping quiet, this conversation offers language, courage, and a way back to the table.If this resonated, subscribe, share it with a friend who loves classic cinema and honest talk, and leave a review with the truth you're choosing to face next.Questions about Orthodoxy?

Tennessee Williams: he's just like us! Before he was a famous playwright, he was just Tom—a young man escaping a shoe factory job, discovering his voice, and falling in love with theater and life in Memphis. Young Williams visited Southwestern in 1935 looking for purpose in his life. Here, he found friends, inspiration. and a new passion for playwriting. Flash forward 90 years later, and Tennessee Williams is here with us again in the form of paintings (generously gifted by Kenneth Holditch). It's like he never left. In this episode, Kahlila talks everything Tennessee with special guests Rosie Meindl and Echo O'Connor. For more information on Williams, visit the website below (created by Echo O'Connor for the exhibition "Tennessee Williams: Paintings of Love and Loss"): https://sites.rhodes.edu/tennessee-williams

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Graeme Messer (@GraemeMesser) Graeme Messer is a London-based multidisciplinary artist whose work spans assemblage, photography, text, and performance. Originally from South Africa, he moved to the UK in the 1980s and built a successful early career in theatre, directing works by Shakespeare and Tennessee Williams, and founding the award-winning company Out of Bounds.Since 2010, Messer has focused solely on visual art, bringing his theatrical flair into the gallery space. Messer's work is often autobiographical, exploring themes such as identity, shame, self-worth, and the complex interplay between vulnerability and resilience. He is known for his distinctive mirror pieces—vintage mirrors etched with bold, confrontational or affirming text, illuminated with LED lighting. These works prompt viewers to reflect—both literally and metaphorically—on themselves and the world around them. Messer continues to push boundaries, using art as a means to question, provoke, and connect.

Tennessee Williams's legacy continues to flourish in St. Louis, thanks to the vibrant Tennessee Williams Festival St. Louis, now celebrating its 10th anniversary. In this episode, we have a delightful chat with Carrie Houk, the mastermind behind the festival. She opens up about her journey from a small festival idea to creating one of the most prominent Tennessee Williams festivals in the United States. From panel discussions to performances, the festival offers a multifaceted approach to celebrating Williams's work, all while engaging the community in a fun and interactive way. Carrie gives us a sneak peek into this year's exciting lineup, including a collaboration with the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, which will be staging a unique version of A Streetcar Named Desire in 2026. This partnership not only enhances the festival's offerings but also highlights the importance of collaboration in the arts. We also reveal one of the quirky events planned for the festival, like the Stella Shouting Contest, where participants can showcase their vocal prowess while paying homage to one of Williams's most famous characters. Carrie's journey is a reminder of the power of creativity and collaboration in the arts, and how festivals like this can breathe life into cultural legacies.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 147: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: We have been burying the lede here. Trump. Is. Suing. Murdoch. Trump and Murdoch are at war. Over Jeffrey Epstein. The two worst people in the country, probably the world, at each other's throats, until further notice. Weeks, months, years. Amid rumors Murdoch's people at the Wall Street Journal are upworking ANOTHER Trump-Epstein/Epstein-Trump/Trumpstein story. And that Murdoch is preparing a Defcon scenario in which he turns Fox News against Trump. Because if Trump is stupid enough to try to put Murdoch out of business, Murdoch will have no choice but to try to put Trump out of business. Trump also seems to be doing everything else he can think of to make sure the Trumpstein story never leads the headlines again. Attacks his own people again. Left a paper trail inside the DOJ and FBI of Pam Bondi searching for thousands of Trump references inside an evidence pit the size of The New York Public Library. Changing the story of the latest plot against him for the sixth time in a week. And watching the polls - 17% approve of his handling of the Epstein issue - actually get worse since just last Thursday (89% want everything, not just the almost-meaningless Grand Jury testimony, released). Oh by the way there IS a Trump Client List inside DOJ/FBI. The only part of Trump's claim that there isn't that's true, is that it may not bear that title. There's literally 40 computers, 70 CDs of video, and 300 gigabytes of data. The Trumpstein story will swamp his presidency. For sheer volume it exceeds almost everything else Trump has ever done. It makes Watergate look like the editing out of four words in a 5,000 word document. IT'S WONDERFUL. Trumpstein, Trumpstein, Trumpstein. ALSO: Trump's unpopularity has now reached 1st Term proportions. Tulsi Gabbard is conflating two Russian stories and claiming the one nobody believed (Russia tampered with voting machines) disproves the one Robert Mueller proved (Russia hacked emails and got them to Trump's campaign). How does that work? I'll explain the psychology of morons who want to please their bosses, with the story of Tennessee Ernie Williams. And if you think Trump isn't brain dead he wrote something that must've come directly from a dream about how the Cleveland Guardians (formed 1901, not named "Indians" until 1915) are one of baseball's "six original teams" (Major League Baseball started 30 years earlier; it's HOCKEY with "the original six" and that's wrong too). B-Block (39:15) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: I understand this busts the narrative and reduces our ability to suffer as martyrs, but there is one inarguable and unanswerable fact that disproves the almost-universally accepted premise that CBS cancelled Stephen Colbert solely to appease Trump. It's this: If they are silencing him, why have they decided to keep him on TV for THE NEXT TEN MONTHS? This is the Phil Donahue cancellation all over again. It works to CBS's corporate advantage to make it look like they are sucking up to the psycho. Sorry. This is the least of the reasons. C-Block (1:09:10) MONDAYS WITH THURBER: Haven't done any of his priceless stories lately, and with Trump's new permanent Trumpstein Crisis, it's fitting to do James Thurber's stunningly prophetic saga "The Greatest Man In The World."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode of Chronicles, Luca discusses The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams. He explores Williams's harsh upbringing and how it informs the play's themes of family, responsibility, and escape.

The Moroccan writer Mohamed Choukri grew up poor and illiterate on the streets of Tangier in the waning years of colonialism. He told the story of his childhood in his autobiographical novel For Bread Alone – El Khubz El Hafi in Arabic, Le Pain Nu in French. Choukri went on to write much more, chronicling life in post-independence Morocco during the “years of lead,” and the marginalized underclass of Tangier: its barflies, prostitutes, petty criminals, day-to-day survivors. We spoke to scholar and translator Jonas El Busty about the unique subversiveness of Choukri's work, and why it still resonates so strongly today. We also talked about the reception of Choukri's work, and the power dynamics embedded in its translation. SHOW NOTESJonas El Busty is a professor of Arabic at Yale University. He has translated Choukri's short story collection Tales of Tangier, as well as the third installment of Choukri's autobiography, Faces, and is the editor, alongside Roger Allen, of the scholarly anthology Reading Mohamed Choukri's Narratives: Hunger in Eden. For Bread Alone was translated by Paul Bowles, in a process that remains contentious to this day. Choukri's writing about some of the famous Western writers – Jean Genet, Tennessee Williams, Paul Bowles – who visited or lived in Tangiers is collected in In Tangier Ursula recently wrote an article in the New York Review of Books on Choukri, Tangier, colonialism and nostalgia.

En verano, a pesar del calor, las ciudades y las pequeñas poblaciones se llenan de encuentros. Hay grandes festivales y propuestas más íntimas. Por ejemplo, el Azkena de Vitoria, el FIB de Benicàssim, el Grec de Barcelona o la Feria de Palma. También otros más modestos como Viñetas del Atlántico en A Coruña o el festival SIBERIANA, que comienza mañana en Tamurejo (Badajoz), un pueblo de tan solo 199 habitantes en la Siberia extremeña.Seguimos por 'Un tranvía llamado deseo', la adaptación de una de las obras más emblemáticas del siglo XX. Con todos los ingredientes del universo de Tennessee Williams: neurosis, simbolismo y fingimiento. La obra gira en torno a Blanche DuBois (interpretada por Nathalie Poza) y la decadencia del sur estadounidense, el delirio como vía de escape y una constante huida hacia ninguna parte. Estará en el Teatro Español de Madrid hasta el 27 de julio con dirección de David Serrano. Completan el reparto Pablo Derqui, María Vázquez, Jorge Usón (quienes nos visitan); Carmen Barrantes, Rómulo Assereto, Mario Alonso y Carlos Carracedo.Raúl Losánez nos trae la historia menos conocida de G.K. Chesterton: la de dramaturgo. Con motivo del 150 aniversario de su nacimiento se ha estrenado por primera vez en España una de sus comedias, 'Magia'. Además, la editorial Renacimiento ha publicado el volumen 'Teatro completo', que reúne sus cuatro obras para la escena.Terminamos con el Campus de Verano de la Academia de Cine, que celebra su cuarta edición con el objetivo de visibilizar la diversidad e inclusión en la industria audiovisual. Este año se han presentado ocho piezas documentales bajo el título 'Las capas de la memoria', que recuperan álbumes fotográficos familiares dañados por la DANA.

Text me your feedback.While the world may feel increasingly more fraught, we can't sustain ourselves on anger and fear alone. We must remember what we're fighting for and, as Tennessee Williams asks of us, save the love.This latest episode kicks off a series of episodes on Awakening the Heart - theories, teachings, and practices that will better sustain us in the months and years to come. This month, we take a look at why shouldn't feel guilty for taking time out of resisting to foreground what brings us joy and happiness. In fact, making sure we build in positive moments in our lives is going to set up our brains to be more creative and energetic warriors. Some highlights include: - Dr. Barbara Fredrickson's theories on "micro-moments of connection" and Broaden & Build- The Mahayana Buddhist concept of bodhicitta (open-heartedness)- Dr. Rick Hanson's "Taking in the Good" practice.Resources Mentioned on the ShowLove 2.0 ~ Dr. Barbara FredericksonBodhicitta ~ Tricycle MagazineTaking in the Good - Dr. Rick Hanson*** Jen's got space on her coaching roster.

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]
