This is Thom Holmes. This podcast is produced as a companion to my book, Electronic and Experimental Music, published by Routledge. Each of these episodes corresponds to a chapter in the text and an associated list of recommended works, also called Listen in the text.

Nonostante abbia avuto una madre severissima (che però lo picchiava sempre dal verso sbagliato, spingendo dentro di lui il male anziché cacciarlo fuori) Toby Dammit è cresciuto pieno di cattive abitudini, tra le quali la più sconveniente è quella di ripetere ad ogni minima occasione "Scommetto la mia testa col Diavolo". Un giorno, durante una passeggiata con un amico, Toby Dammit s'impunta a voler scavalcare con un balzo il cancello girevole posto all'uscita di un ponte coperto. Il suo compagno vorrebbe convincerlo a desistere da una simile bravata, ma l'apparizione di un vecchio zoppo vestito di nero sembra spingere inesorabilmente Toby Dammit a compiere il pericoloso salto.
The CBS Radio Workshop was a series that was truly "experimental" radio. Existing purely for the indulgence of creative radio people at CBS, the Workshop took risks delving into the odd, with stories that often did not comply with tried-and-true narrative structures. Keith Scott brings us such a story on the fringe, starring John Dehner as Edgar Alan Poe, and Daws Butler as Toby Dammit. The recording of Daws Butler is used with the kind permission of Brian Kistler.

Torna in puntata Fabio "Wolf" Gorini per parlare di Edgar Allan Poe, del suo stile, delle sue opere e dei film che il grande regista americano Roger Corman ha tradotto sul grande schermo. Classici del terrore divenuti immortali e interpretati dall'iconico Vincent Price: "I vivi e i morti" (House of Usher) 1960, "Il pozzo e il pendolo" (The Pit and the Pendulum) 1961 , "Sepolto Vivo" (The Premature Burial) 1962, "I racconti del terrore" (Tales of Terror) 1962, "I maghi del terrore" (The Raven) 1963, "La maschera della morte rossa" (The Masque of the Red Death) 1964, "La tomba di Ligeia" (The Tomb of Ligeia) 1965 e qualche extra: "Toby Dammit" di Federico Fellini (1967), "Due occhi diabolici" (Two Evil Eyes) di George A. Romero e Dario Argento (1990), "The Raven" di James McTeigue (2012)
Insieme a Massimiliano Bolcioni si parla del grande Fellini con una delle sue opere sperimentali più strane e affascinanti: "Toby Dammit" una sorta di mediometraggio a tinte horror della durata di 43 minuti contenuto all'interno di un film collettivo intitolato "Tre passi nel delirio" suddiviso in 3 episodi liberamente ispirati a racconti di Edgar Allan Poe e diretto da Louis Malle, Roger Vadim, Federico Fellini. "Toby Dammit" narra la storia di un attore alcolizzato, interpretato da un iconico Terence Stamp, che accetta di girare un western definito "cattolico" in cambio di una Ferrari, il suo sarà un viaggio verso gli inferi accompagnato dall'immagine di un'inquietante bambina vestita in bianco mutuata da un film di Mario Bava intitolato "Operazione Paura" del 1966.
Episode 109 notes This was supposed to be our pre-vacation podcast. A spoiler for future episodes (I was too sick to go, which is also why this one is so dated). In this one, Lou tells the “Toledo Story”, Fellini, “Crimes of the Future”, and Anne Hathaway The film I mention (Toby Dammit) was part of a horror anthology called “Spirits of the Dead”. Basic plot is a washed-up actor (as played by Terence Stamp) drives real fast in a car real fast. Possibly Toby sold his soul for one last chance at fame? I dunno. I saw this in a Philosophy and Film class many years ago, and it probably merits a rewatch. Roger Vadim and Louis Malle direct the other two segments. Songs featured in Episode 109: “I Think I Know You” -Weird Nightmare “Can You Feel It?” The 420 Four “Make Manager” – Broken Baby “Oh, To Be” - Claude “Hollywood Junkyard” – The Bobby Lees Regulate was discussed but not featured Find us at www.trashsouthstreet.com itunes (like and subscribe) And a few other places soon #TSSpod #trashsouthstreet
SOMETHING FISHY'S GOING ON: Join me and novelist, film enthusiast and podcaster, Heather Baxendale-Walsh, as we talk Lost in Translation/Toby Dammit, two fish out of water stories about actors in an existential crisis while visiting another country. What could go wrong? It's difficult to be a fish. It's even more difficult to be a fish out of water. It's even more difficult to be a fish out of water actor having a mid-life crisis on the verge of a breakdown suffering jet leg and not speaking the native language…Sounds like it's time for Episode 84 of Pop Art, where we find the pop culture in art and the art in pop culture. It's the podcast where my guest chooses a movie from popular culture, and I'll select a film from the more art/classic/indie side of cinema with a connection to it. This time, I am happy to welcome as my guest, novelist, film enthusiast and podcaster, Heather Baxendale-Walsh, who has chosen as her film Sofia Coppola's existential exploration of alienation, Lost in Translation, while I have chosen Federico Fellini's surrealist classic Toby Dammit, both films about actors in crisis in a foreign country. And in this episode, we answer such questions as: Who is the part Anna Faris played not, definitely not, most definitely not, based on? Who was originally cast in the Terence Stamp? What is it about portmanteau films? Where did the idea for the Suntory commercial come from? Is there a Mandela effect here? What do the two Germans say in the sauna? Where does Silent Hill fit in? What did the elderly man in the hospital say?

The Secret Movie Club team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, Craig Hammill) take stock of the exhausting yet exhilarating October slate of horror movies of all kinds. This leads to a discussion on how rich horror is as a genre since so many sub-genres: horror-comedy, horror-drama, horror-musical, horror-satire, horror-parody, horror-western have grown from the fertile soil of horror. Many movies get name-checked including The Hunger, Don't Look Now, Toby Dammit. . .

Jules: Many films depict deals with the Devil at the time the deal is done. Fewer - like Fellini's contribution to this anthology - depict the Devil arriving to collect. But does Fellini's contribution satisfy? David: Fellini, usually so generous, has rarely been so impenetrable. Is Toby Dammit’s flight to Rome hijacked and diverted to Hell? Or is he really in Rome and finds the experience sufficiently overpowering that he literally loses his head? What is the nature of his tryst with the Devil? Do we watch him getting more than he bargained for, or is this all a payment? And was the prize stardom? A Ferrari? Or just release?

This week on The Spectator Film Podcast… Toby Dammit (1968) 4.5.19 Featuring: Austin, Maxx Commentary begins at 24:20 — Notes — Toby Dammit is available on The Criterion Channel as Spirits of the Dead (1968). “No One Here Gets Out Alive: Federico Fellini’s Toby Dammit” by George Porcari on lightmonkey.net (also published in CineAction 2007) — This was one of the few open-access resources I could find discussing Toby Dammit, but that doesn’t make it any less thorough or engaging to read. This is a wonderful critical introduction to a very dense and quick-moving movie. The rest of George’s website (lightmonkey.net) looks fantastic as well. The Cinema of Federico Fellini by Peter Bondanella — This is an excellent introduction to the career of Federico Fellini, featuring a solid mixture of both historical information (and biographical information) about each production and critical insight and analysis into the resultant films. There’s a whole chapter dedicated to Toby Dammit and Fellini Satyricon (1969), discussing the films as a response to the collapse of Mastorna and a turning point in Fellini’s career. “Fellini, Federico” by Antonia Shanahan on Senses of Cinema — Great Director profile from Senses of Cinema The Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord — Not only incredibly relevant to Toby Dammit, but also one of the most important books in terms of studying mediated images and how they interact with one another in society. “An Illustrated Guide to Guy Debord’s ‘Society of the Spectacle'” by Tiernan Morgan & Lauren Purje — Here’s a fun primer on Debord’s thoughts. Simulacra and Simulation by Jean Baudrillard (Trans. Sheila Glaser) “Never Bet the Devil Your Head: A Tale with a Moral” by Edgar Allen Poe

Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre, as well as the genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career. Poe died in 1849, in Baltimore, under mysterious circumstances, but he left us with a legacy of tales of wonder and woe, the marvelous and the macarbe.The CBS Radio Workshop was an experimental dramatic radio anthology series that aired on CBS from January 27, 1956, until September 22, 1957. Subtitled “radio’s distinguished series to man’s imagination,” it was a revival of the earlier Columbia Experimental Laboratory (1931), Columbia Experimental Dramatic Laboratory (1932) and Columbia Workshop broadcasts by CBS from 1936 to 1943, and used some of the same writers and directors employed on the earlier series. The CBS Radio Workshop was one of American network radio's last attempts to hold on to, and perhaps recapture, some of the demographics they had lost to television in the post-World War Two era.Theme music: Liberator by Man In SpaceTo comment on this or any episode:Journey on over to the ForumsLeave us a voicemail at 77-JINTO-107 (775-4686-107)Send comments and/or recordings to journeyintopodcat@gmail.comTweet us us TwitterPost a comment on Facebook hereComment directly to this post down below
