In this episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts U-Arkansas Prof. Albert Cheng and Dr. Helen Baxendale interview noted literary biographer, Dr. Jeffrey Meyers. Dr. Meyers discusses The Great Gatsby on its 100th anniversary. He explores F. Scott Fitzgerald's tragic life, his marriage to Zelda, and how their tumultuous relationship shaped his iconic novel. Dr. Meyers delves into the timeless themes of Gatsby's yearning, the elusive American Dream, and 1920s decadence while analyzing major characters and symbols like Daisy, the green light, and Gatsby's reinvention of himself. He also reflects on Fitzgerald's later struggles and enduring literary legacy. In closing, Dr. Meyers reads a passage from his biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Sean Comer and Mark Radulich present our The Great Gatsby 2013 Movie Review!The Great Gatsby is a 2013 American historical romantic drama film based on the 1925 novel of the same name by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The film was co-written and directed by Baz Luhrmann and stars an ensemble cast consisting of Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton, Isla Fisher, Jason Clarke, Amitabh Bachchan, and Elizabeth Debicki. Filming took place from September to December 2011 in Australia, with a $105 million net production budget. The film follows the life and times of millionaire Jay Gatsby (DiCaprio) and his neighbor Nick Carraway (Maguire) who recounts his interactions with Gatsby amid the riotous parties of the Jazz Age on Long Island in New York.A polarizing film among critics, The Great Gatsby received both praise and criticism for its visual style, direction, screenplay, performances, soundtrack, and its interpretation of the source material. Audiences responded more positively, and Fitzgerald's granddaughter praised the film, stating "Scott would have been proud." As of 2023, it is Luhrmann's highest-grossing film, grossing over $353 million worldwide. At the 86th Academy Awards, the film won in both of its nominated categories: Best Production Design and Best Costume Design.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsoFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76
Welcome back!! This week the ladies are joined by the lovely Ebony Chappel as they reviewed"Jay Gatsby A Black Man in Whiteface" by author Janet Savage, Esq. In this thought-provoking episode, the ladies reimagine F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic, "The Great Gatsby," through the lens of a white passing black man. They also explore the enduring relevance of its themes in our modern world. Join the ladies as they unravel the intricacies of Jay Gatsby's journey, examining how the pursuit of the American Dream and the desire for reinvention continue to resonate universally. Drawing inspiration from Janet Savage's intriguing thesis, which posits Gatsby as white-passing, they delve into the idea of leaving behind one's roots in pursuit of an elusive dream. Tune in to join the discourse on whether leaving one's past behind in search of the unattainable is an inherently futile endeavor, and if those same forces are still at play today. *Please be advised this episode is intended for adult audiences and contains adult language and content.Dedication: To our wonderful patrons!!! Cheers!! Shout out to KeKe Palmer for reviewing this on her podcast and putting the book on our radar.Moni: To build a legacy to leave behind as our greatest work of art.Kat: To all the white passing folks who exerted their privilege to liberate others.Ebony: To all the troublesome women making it hard for those trying to keep the BS going. They are the backbone of our society.About our guest: Ebony Chappel https://linktr.ee/ebonythewriterAbout the book: "WHAT IF JAY GATSBY IS A BLACK MAN PASSING AS A WHITE ONE?

Through a close examination of the text, a review of F. Scott Fitzgerald's life and letters, the book explains how America's troubled conscience about race laces through the novel."-Good Reads https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/35361132About the Author: Janet Savage was born in Chicago and is a graduate of Stanford University and Harvard Law School.

Pigweed and Crowhill drink and review Vulpulin Tropical Pale Ale from Sly Fox Brewing, then review The Great Gatsby. With special guest Longinus, P&C continue their "shortcut to the classics" series, picking a short work by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Following a quick biography of the man, the boys review the plot and discuss the meaning of the text. The book is often considered a classic treatment of the roaring 20s. The writing is top-notch, and the story is interesting, but the characters are less than admirable. Themes in the book include issues of class, old money vs. new money, the east vs. the midwest, family, faithfulness, and the American Dream.
This week we discuss some of the most controversial books in our history! What's the big deal and why do we want to ban these novels? Come along and find out.
On this day in 1925 “The Great Gatsby” was first published to a mixed reception. Now viewed as a classic, in 2020 it entered the public domain.

Eric reads the second-to-last page of The Great Gatsby.
We don't know what the word Pog means, on the other hand, we DO know a lot about Jim Henson and Mr. Roberts Rogers. Also, we just wanna see The Muppets make more adaptations of popular works, and we'd REALLY love to see a revival of good children's entertainment. Make sure to check out this week's sponsor Audible for a copy of The Great Gatsby (read by America's dude sweetheart), now in the public domain.
Literary Loitering | Cultural Anarchy with Books and The Arts
These are strange times we're living in, which is why it's good to carry a stick as part of your EDC. A good stick is a very useful object as it can be used as a walking aid, for fishing, thrashing, emergency kindling, and in the case of our resident cultural anarchists, poking fun at the world (while avoiding surprise bears). This week we discover that Ready Player One is somehow getting a sequel (we're not sure how that's going to work either). In other more important news, there's a new collection of Terry Pratchett short stories due for publication, The Great Gatsby is now in the public domain (which means all of that fanfiction can now be published), Donald Trump Jr. has apparently written another book (we still haven't discovered why he was fired the first time), someone is going around collecting mountweazels, and all sorts of other stuff. We also have another of our semi-regular quizzes, and this time it's all about mondegreens (misheard lyrics).

This week on the MashReads Podcast, we read and discuss F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic The Great Gatsby. Then, inspired by Gatsby's place in the canon of books we all read in high school, we chat about our favorite high school books including Lord Of The Flies by William Golding, Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, and Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger. Then, as always, we close the show with recommendations: Aliza recommends Pod Save America, Lovett or Leave It, and the other podcasts from Crooked Media. Peter recommmends the new Mystery Science Theater 3000 reboot on Netflix. He also recommends Slate's Political Gabfest (as a counter to Aliza's recommnendation of Pod Save America.) MJ recommends "Touring the Galleries of Vin Diesel’s Facebook Page With Art Critic Jerry Saltz," a New York Magazine article where art critic Jerry Saltz deconstructs the (very weird) art Vin Diesel posts on Facebook.
