Podcast appearances and mentions of Terry Zwigoff

Author and curator Dan Nadel joins the show to celebrate the publication of his amazing new biography, CRUMB: A Cartoonist's Life (Scribner). We get into Robert Crumb's significance in American art, comics, and culture, Dan's first experience with a Crumb comic (it was an ish of American Splendor), the challenge of capturing the underground comics scene of the '60s & '70s, and what it took for him to get over the "R. Crumb" persona and realize how integrated Robert's personality is. We talk about Crumb's role as nexus in the history of comics, the book's focus on Crumb's drawing and how different tools opened him up artistically, what it means to see Crumb as part of tradition and not just a conceptual outlier, how his Crumb differs from the Crumb of Terry Zwigoff's documentary, and the one detail he's still dying to find out about Zap Comix. We also discuss Dan's comics and art upbringing, how he found his place as a publisher then gallery & museum curator, how he was affected by the death of Crumb's wife Aline in 2022, how his museum experience prepared him for writing about the racist and sexist aspects of Crumb's comics, the only cartoonist biography he could tackle after Crumb, whether Crumb's Book of Genesis succeeds as comics, and a lot more.

Perv with a Pen - Terry Zwigoff's Crumb This week we race back to 1994 with one of the great documentaries of the modern era, Terry Zwigoff's portrait of underground comic artist, Robert Crumb. A simple profile of the artist and the polarizing reaction to his work alone would have made for an interesting and enjoyable film; Zwigoff's decision to focus on Crumb's extended family (two brothers and mother) forms a more powerful and disturbing work. With an abusive childhood to expand on and two examples of talent overpowered by mental difficulties, Zwigoff highlights how powerful art is in giving voice to the pain and desperation that exists within all of us, but is tempered by an artist who can find the levels of supportive expression that can save him from the insanity of an imbalanced brain. Crumb is truly a powerful and englightening film. However disturbing it may be is worth the rewards the film has to offer. Take a listen as we discuss this beautifully realized and deeply troubling film. As always, we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com.

Nostalgia is a tricky thing, and there's perhaps no better example than Ian and Pat's review of Crumb! Chronicling the lineage and linework of Underground Comix legend R. Crumb, Terry Zwigoff's 1994 documentary was once one of the guys' favorite films--and it may still be, even if the passage of time and evolving sensibilities make it far more difficult to recommend now than when it was released. Troubled by an oppressive, abusive early childhood peopled by mentally disturbed siblings and parents, Crumb channeled his social awkwardness and innate misanthropy into highly influential counter-culture comics. Having shunned commercial success and any illusions of fitting in with polite society, we meet Crumb as he and his wife, Aline, are finishing up a move from California to the South of France (where they'll move into a countryside home purchased with a suitcase full of Crumb's old sketchbooks). Zwigoff captures their informal farewells with family, colleagues, and critics--in the process asking audiences to wonder if being a well-regarded artistic genius is worth a life of numbness, doubt, and alienation.In this spoilerific review, Ian and Pat talk about what's changed in their perception of R. Crumb as an artist; how his work influenced Ian's own creative endeavors; and the eeriness of watching seemingly contemporary sociopolitical themes echoing back through the decades.Subscribe, like, and comment to the Kicking the Seat YouTube channel, and check out kickseat.com for multiple movie podcasts each week!Show LinksWatch the Crumb trailer.As mentioned in the show, check out the trailers for:Comic Book ConfidentialAmerican SplendorAs mentioned in the show, you can pick up Crumb on Blu-ray from The Criterion Collection.Keep up with Pat at HollywoodChicago.com.Listen to Pat's movie reviews on the radio at STAR 96.7.

We're blowing off the dust on one of our favorite episodes, and revisting Terry Zwigoff's Ghost World.  Originally posted as Movies That Made Us Gay Episode 66 on Sep 25, 2020 - we had to dig WAY back in the archives for this one.  We were still baby podcasters back then but this episode is still just as fresh after all these years. We'll be back with a new episode next friday, but until then let's take a trip back to Season 2 of Movies That Made Us Gay! "If you like authentic blues you really gotta check out Blues Hammer." We watched Ghost World (2001) and no we don't want a biscotti with that.  If you ever want a peek behind the veil of Scott and Pete's inner (and outer) monologue - look no further than this movie.  We too can't relate to 99% of humanity and mostly want to poison rude customers.  Since poisoning is out of the question, we simply troll them under our breath like our heroes Enid (Thora Birch) and Rebecca (Scarlett Johansson).  While we're nowhere near as upfront as Enid or dry as Rebecca, we feel we've modeled a decent part of our wit off of these two fringe dwelling icons.  Much like Enid, we too "just like Don Knotts."

Comics editor Jasmine Amiri joins the show to compare Terry Zwigoff's adaptation to the original comic by Daniel Clowes. In episode 318 Luke, James, and Jasmine discuss the value of supposedly “empty” entertainment vs what's deemed as “important," find out what studio meddling would have ruined the movie, celebrate Steve Buscemi's selfless actions during the aftermath of 9/11, and debate the implications of the film's final scene.

Art School Confidential is a 2006 parody film of college life as a student. The film is filled with plenty of nonsense, pretentious behaviour, backstabbing and a side of murder mystery. Based on the partially true events of a graphic novelists journey through art school and also part fiction. Trashed by critics, will this film be revived or is it simply destined for the waste bin.  Directed by the same director of ghost world (Terry Zwigoff) and Screenplay by Daniel Clowes. Starring Max Minghella, Sophia Myles and John Malkovich. Special appearances from Anjelica Huston and Steve Buscemi.

In our April Special Subject, Part 1 of our look at the films of Samuel Goldwyn, we discuss Dark Angel (1935), These Three (1936), Dodsworth (1936), and Wuthering Heights (1939), a selection heavy on Dave favourites Merle Oberon, William Wyler, and Gregg Toland. We ask in what sense these are "quality" films, and in what ways they escape our expectations of that category, calling attention to the theme of psychological violence in These Three and Wuthering Heights and the role played by gender double standards in the tragedies of Dark Angel and Dodsworth. And in Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto we discuss Terry Zwigoff's Ghost World (2001) and draw a surprising conclusion about it.  Time Codes: 0h 00m 35s:      Brief Introduction to Samual Goldwyn 0h 12m 18s:      THE DARK ANGEL (1935) [dir.

Devin & James are back with something new for 2024! In our FIRST of FOUR episodes covering the year in cinema that was 1994, we are taking on a handful of the indie films that changed the cinematic world forever: Kevin Smith's CLERKS, Terry Zwigoff's CRUMB, and Quentin Tarantino's PULP FICTION! It's a great way to ring in the new year with some movie gods before they were movie gods.

This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas start knocking off local shopping malls, using Fil's Santa outfit from the cinema. The pair pose as a surly Santa and his oversized Elf, who by day try to stay sober enough to ask the kids what they want for Christmas, and by night rob the stores blind.It's the final week of NAUGHTY or NICE, and our Patreon backers were given the choice between two films from 2003 – BAD SANTA (Naughty) or ELF (Nice). Our listeners went 3-for-3 in the naughty camp, and decided to go for the drunken Santa Heist Movie! What could go wrong?Fresh off the success of Ghost World, Terry Zwigoff was tapped by Executive Producers Joel and Ethan Coen to turn their loose idea, that was adapted by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, into a big screen Christmas classic, starring Billy Bob Thornton. The only problem was, Bob Weinstein was the real boss, and he made things annoying for everyone. Join us, as we talk how this film was made, who the Coen's original envisioned starring in the film, and how there came to be three different versions of the film. And there is plenty of love to the scene stealing duo of two late-great actors, John Ritter and Bernie Mac. "I'm on my f***ing lunch break, OK?"If you enjoy the podcast, leave a Rating and Review!

It's THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR and we're putting some extra movies in your stocking this week leading up to Christmas and we're discussing a modern Christmas comedy hit that's a pretty good movie to watch if you're not really a big fan of Christmas. There's, maybe, only one truly good person in this movie and his name is Thurman Merman. Everybody else from the derelict Santa and the homicidal dwarf to the everyday people we briefly interact with, most everyone in this movie is pretty insufferable. Crude but relatable, we sit down and discuss Terry Zwigoff's (Crumb, Ghost World, Art School Confidential) most successful movie to date, “BAD SANTA” from 2003 starring Billy Bob Thornton, Tony Cox, John Ritter in his last performance, the late Bernie Mac and prime Lauren Graham. A couple of cons plot to play Santa and rob a store like they do every year, but the one playing Santa is a complete mess. He's a Bad Santa who cons himself into the heart of a young, awkward boy, who gives him a purpose that involves attacking teenagers. It's better than pissing yourself or running your car in the garage with a hose going from your exhaust to the driver's seat. A crude embellishment with a pinch of heartfelt sincerity. Kind of like me.

Today, Secret Movie Club Team Members Edwin Gomez and Craig Hammill discuss Terry Zwigoff's breakout 1990's documentary CRUMB about underground comic book artist R. Crumb and his dysfunctional brothers. Both Edwin and Craig talk about how a second viewing really emphasizes how heavy Crumb's home life was. We nominate some other powerful "dark" documentaries. Edwin name checks the Maysles' 1960's key work SALESMAN and Errol Morris's 1980's THE THIN BLUE LINE. Craig talks about Claude Lanzmann's 1980's masterwork SHOAH and Joshua Oppenheimer's 2012 THE ACT OF KILLING. Edwin talks the re-opening of the Vista and Craig mentions how much he likes David Fincher's new movie THE KILLER. (This Pod acts as a kind of Part II to SMC Pod #94 which looked at AMERICAN MOVIE and the documentary genre). 

In this chat, we get to meet actor and writer Illeana Douglas. Illeana is best known for her film work, costarring in films as wide-ranging as Scorsese's Cape Fear, Gus Van Sant's To Die For, or (one of my personal favorites) Terry Zwigoff's Ghost World. In addition to her film and television, Illeana is also an accomplished writer and film historian, and she has just published her second book, entitled Connecticut in the Movies. In this chat, Illeana and I discuss a LOT about her new book, which was especially exciting given that I grew up in Connecticut just like she did. We talk about the many different versions of CT that have been seen in the movies, the cliches and stereotypes, and the varied styles of films made or set here - from dark suburban dramas to sex comedies. We talk about how surprisingly integral CT has been to filmmaking, and how the state's perception has shifted and ping-ponged from accurate to, well, less-so. We touch on Mystic Pizza's place as our emblematic film, the idea that characters from CT have something odious to hide, and much more. Now, we recorded this while the SAG strike was still ongoing, so we couldn't talk much of her acting work. But fear not - there was plenty to talk about. Thank you for listening.

It's a funky poodle this week!Directed by Terry Zwigoff based on Dan Clowes' beloved, cult graphic novel and co–written by Zwigoff and Clowes, GHOST WORLD is a window into the friendship between two teen girls Enid (Thora Birch) and Rebecca (Scarlett Johansson) – true outsiders – over the summer following their high school graduation as their allegiance first and foremost to each other starts to wain. These are the caustic, counterculture obsessed girls you either identify with, or you fear. They're working out what to do next – Rebecca's got a clearer path than Enid, who's got to get through an excruciating remedial art class (taught by Illeana Douglas) in order to get her high school diploma. One day Enid and Rebecca prank a lonely guy behind a personal ad. Soon, hermetic record collector Seymour (Steve Buscemi), enters their cool, misanthropic world and unsettles their folie à deux friendship for good.See AlsosThe Women of Ghost World on Working with Terry ZwigoffThe Dan Clowes Reader edited by Ken ParilleThe work of Aline Kominsky-CrumbTavi Gevinson's interview with Dan ClowesThe work of Julie Doucet (Drawn & Quarterly)Ione Skye's short David Goldberg based on "Ice Haven' from 2011Seance in Wowsville, Criterion essay by Howard HamptonGhost World at 20Tillie Waldren, author of On a Sunbeam, I Love This PartBrodie's post about Scarlett's ironing boardsWatch AlsoCrumbFunny PagesAmerican SplendourDiary of a Teenage GirlDaria season 3, episode 5: “The Lost Girls” (here's the episode of Doree Shafrir's podcast Rerun where Aminatou Sow discusses it)Find us on Instagram @seealsopodcast Hosted on Acast.

Our second of the pair of Terry Zwigoff documentaries is one that initially no one wanted to touch, despite the success of Louie Bluie. Was it just that all that good will had evaporated over the course of a decade? Or was it that this time around Zwigoff turned his camera on his friends: gonzo cartoonist R. Crumb and Crumb's even more eccentric brothers. Eccentric is a good word here.

We kick off a pair of documentaries by Terry Zwigoff, starting this week with Louie Bluie, his 1985 look at musician and artist Howard Armstrong. Start to finish just an absolute delight of a documentary.

This is the deepest dive into Bad Santa that you'll find anywhere. The “Santa” that made it into theatres – and conned its way onto DVD and streaming services – is an imposter, with the cut approved by director Terry Zwigoff hidden away (at the North Pole), only to be quietly released years later. Brad … Continue reading IX – ‘Bad Santa’

GGACP ushers in Christmas week with this ENCORE of a VERY candid interview with the director of the holiday classic "Bad Santa," Terry Zwigoff ("Crumb," Ghost World"). In this episode, Terry shares his thoughts on misbehaving movie stars, tacked-on happy endings, the twisted genius of Drew Friedman and the comedy stylings of Margaret Dumont. Also, Cloris Leachman requests a nude scene, Mickey Rooney auditions to play an elf, Woody Allen mistakes Gilbert for a Native American (!) and Terry professes his love for the Amazing Colossal Podcast. PLUS: Joe Cobb! Paulie Walnuts! The art of Basil Wolverton! In praise of John Ritter! And Gilbert reads the greatest film review of all time! Learn more about your ad choices.

The world's most beloved Steve Buscemi-themed podcast returns with an episode all about Terry Zwigoff's adaptation of Daniel Clowes' GHOST WORLD, starring Thora Birch, Scarlett Johansson and - of course - Steve Buscemi! We talk about the difficulties of adapting (non-superhero) comics, how the film compares to the source, how our opinions on the film have changed since we first saw it and SO MUCH MORE. All that and the latest Steve Buscemi news. CHECK IT OUT.

Allan picks another "December Essential" film that takes place in a mall! BAD SANTA (2003) Directed by Terry Zwigoff

Devin & James are sliding down the chimney of the DEN OF CIN to deliver their thoughts on a couple of Holiday perennials! This time we're taking on a couple of cynical satires, SCROOGED with Bill Murray and BAD SANTA with Billy Bob Thornton. These films are at once so rude and raunchy, yet filled to the brim with the Christmas Spirit. A delicate balance that has never quite been perfected as well as it is in these two yule classics by master directors Richard Donner & Terry Zwigoff. So trim your tree, grab your smokes, and pour the eggnog heavy for a couple of flicks to watch after the kiddies go to bed! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

A rare foray into comic book adaptation, Charlene and Chelsea discuss Terry Zwigoff's cult favourite GHOST WORLD, adapted from Daniel Clowes' comic of the same name - a peek into the weird and wonderful world of Enid Coleslaw as she and her best friend Rebecca navigate the tricky transition from high school to the world that awaits them.

None spoiler reviews for Doctor Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore are here too, as well as the boys recounting their latest boat tales, a fondness for Mission: Impossible 2 locations and who the hell is Toyah Battersby?!?

Cool Movie Darth has finally attended Ebertfest when he saw the Terry Zwigoff and Thora Birch hosted screening of "Ghost World". It may have only been to one of the 13 shows, but this is a movie that has an important place in his life, regardless of the extra 20 minutes. He does his best to describe the experience to his big sister, ThePoeticCritic, perhaps to distract her from the remaining month of cinema lacking Jeff Goldblum.

After a three year hiatus, the Roger Ebert Film Festival (aka Ebertfest) is back! Matt & Ashley look ahead to this year's installment with festival director Nate Kohn. Highlights include the movie Ghost World (with director Terry Zwigoff and co-star Thora Birch in attendance), and Nightmare Alley (with director Guillermo Del Toro and screenwriter Kim Morgan also attending). Lots of other great films and guests at this year's festival, as well! This year's Ebertfest is from April 20-23, in beautiful Champaign, IL.

In this episode, Michael and Sam discuss the new Japanese drama/road movie 'Drive my Car' from Ryusuke Hamaguchi. The film was the recipient of three awards at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival and the winner of the Best International Feature Film award at this year's Oscars. As well as discussing all the fall-out from the Oscars, we discuss Kathryn Bigelow's 1991 surfing action/crime classic 'Point Break' starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze, the 2019 Scott Z. Burns true-life political drama 'The Report' starring Adam Driver, Kelly Reichardt's 2006 minimalist friendship drama 'Old Joy', and the 2001 cult classic teen comedy 'Ghost World' from Terry Zwigoff starring Thora Birch, Scarlett Johannson and Steve Buscemi.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Krampus. Krampus may well predate the year zero yet Krampus has become the somewhat twisted counterpart to Saint Nicholas. How did they become pals? What's the difference between Saint Nicholas, Santa Claus and Father Christmas? Who were the parents of Krampus? Can you fight Krampus with the gifts Krampus brings? How many Krampus, or Krampi, even are there? What does Santa like to eat whilst doing the rounds? These are just some of the questions we ponder today. But not only do we ponder, we also have some legitimate video evidence to analyse today to which you will find the links below. Warning: the second piece of footage, is vicious. Along the way we also explore some of Greybeard's employment history (you can't prove it). What is the best slang word for penis? All that and more on this week's file. Christmas hog for one and all.   YouTube link to Krampusnacht aka Krampus Run via Amy's Crypt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2lldMAS4AM    Vicious Krampus attack video: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/italy/video-2065582/Video-People-wearing-Krampus-devil-costumes-attack-bystanders-Italy.html      Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliens   Store: https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/     Probe us: Email: butitwasaliens@gmail.com Instagram @ ButItWasAliensPodcast Twitter @ ButItWasAliens Facebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial Towers     Music:  Music created via Garageband. Additional music via: https://freepd.com - thank you most kindly good people. You may also have noticed amongst the standard Christmas folly, a rendition of Frederic Chopin's Nocturne No.2 in E-flat Major. Chopin passed away in 1849 and so this music is now in the public domain. This song brings back happy memories for Greybeard as it is in the opening of Kev's favourite Christmas movie, Bad Santa starring Billy Bob Thornton and Tony Cox and directed by Terry Zwigoff. What. A. Movie. We also snipped in an extremely swift clip from the themes to the original animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, composed by Chuck Lorre and Dennis Challen Brown and from the theme to He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, composed by Shuki Levy, Haim Saban and Erika Lane courtesy of Mattel. Right after those, there was a clip from the theme tune to the animated television series Thundercats, composed by Bernard Hoffer and owned by Warner Bros since 1989. They don't make animated series like they used to! Finally, we included two songs from one of our well-documented favourite ever video games - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The Title Theme and the Legend of Hyrule theme. These themes were composed by Kōji Kondō. Thank you to all the folks behind Zelda from Nintendo once again.   Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.

Violet Lucca, web editor for Harper's Magazine and the host of the publication's podcast, is the special guest for an in-depth discussion of Terry Zwigoff's 2001 comedy Ghost World, based on a running segment within Daniel Clowes' comic book series Eightball. The screenplay by Clowes and Zwigoff was the first comic book adaptation to be nominated for an Academy Award. Violet and I discuss the experience of feeling Extremely Seen watching a movie (in both positive and critical ways), how the film depicts the decline of a close friendship between two young girls as they transition into adulthood, the film's critique of what Zwigoff termed “contrived consumerism”, and how the story arcs of Enid and Rebecca parallel the subsequent careers of Thora Birch and Scarlett Johansson. Plus: speaking of 20th anniversaries... the Taliban is running Afghanistan again.
