Podcast appearances and mentions of Tony Manero

Nick Jeffery and John Granger continue their Q&A conversations about Rowling-Galbraith's Hallmarked Man (if you missed the first discussion, click here to catch up). As usual, the pair promised to send links and notes along with their recorded back and forth for anyone wanting to read more about the subjects they discussed. Scroll down for their seven plus one questions and a bevy of bonus material they trust will add to your appreciation of Rowling's Strike 8 artistry and meaning. Cheers!Q1: What is the meaning of or artistry involved with Pat Chauncey's three fish in the Agency's fish tank, ‘Robin,' ‘Cormoran,' and ‘Travolta/Elton'?Mise en Abyme (Wikipedia)In Western art history, mise en abyme (French pronunciation: [miz ɑ̃n‿abim]; also mise en abîme) is the technique of placing a copy of an image within itself, often in a way that suggests an infinitely recurring sequence. In film theory and literary theory, it refers to the story within a story technique.The term is derived from heraldry, and means placed into abyss (exact middle of a shield). It was first appropriated for modern criticism by the French author André Gide. A common sense of the phrase is the visual experience of standing between two mirrors and seeing an infinite reproduction of one's image. Another is the Droste effect, in which a picture appears within itself, in a place where a similar picture would realistically be expected to appearSnargaloff pods (Harry Potter Wiki)“It sprang to life at once; long, prickly, bramble-like vines flew out of the top and whipped through the air... Harry succeeded in trapping a couple of vines and knotting them together; a hole opened in the middle of all the tentacle-like branches... Hermione snatched her arm free, clutching in her fingers a pod... At once, the prickly vines shot back inside and the gnarled stump sat there looking like an innocently dead lump of wood“— The trio dealing with the Snargaluff plant in sixth year Herbology classSnargaluff was a magical plant with the appearance of a gnarled stump, but had dangerous hidden thorn-covered vines that attacked when provoked, and was usually best handled by more than one person.Juliana's Question about the Oranda Goldfish:did anyone else notice - I confess to only noticing this on my second re-read of THM- that Travolta, Pat's third fish, dies?What do we think about this? Could this mean Mr. Ryan F. Murphy dies…? Or could it just be foreshadowing of the fact that him and Robin don't end up together? I think the fish symbolism was quite humorous and delightful paralleling such a deep and intricate plot. Just wanted to know if anyone noticed this tinge of humor towards the end of the book… As for the fish theory, Pat's three fish in the tank: Strike, Robin and the third, she calls, Travolta — ironically, named after a “handsome” man. I'm thinking JKR meant Travolta, the fish to symbolize Murphy…What I was referring to in my original comment: the three fish = the love triangle between Ellacott/Murphy/Strike. I was asking: since Travolta died in Chapter 113, do we think this foreshadows Murphy either dying physically, or just that Robin and Murphy do not end up together?John's ‘Fish and Peas' Response:It's a relief to learn that Travolta's most famous role wasn't a character named Ryan Murphy that everyone in the world except myself knows very well. Thank you for this explanation!There's more to your idea, though, I think, then you have shared. Forgive me if you were already aware of this textual argument that suggests very strongly that these Oranda goldfish have been an important part of Rowling's plan from the series from the start. In brief, it's about the peas.In Part 2, Chapter 3, of ‘Cuckoo's Calling,' Robin and Matt are having their first fight about Strike and the Agency. The chapter ends with an odd note that this disagreement has blemished the Cunliffe couple's engagement.“She waited until he had walked away into the sitting room before turning off the tap. There was, she noticed, a fragment of frozen pea caught in the setting of her engagement ring.” (73)Your theory that the fish bowl is an embedded picture of the state of Robin's feelings for Murphy and Strike, a Mise en abyme of sorts, is given credibility in the eyes of this reader by the appearance of frozen peas as the cure for the dying Cormoran goldfish. It is hard for a Rowling Reader to believe that these two mentions of frozen pea fragments were coincidental or unrelated, which means that (a) Rowling had the office Oranda goldfish scene-within-the-scene in Strike 8 foreshadowed by the Strike 1 tiff, and (b) therefore of real significance.There is another pea bit, of course, in ‘Troubled Blood' at Skegness, a passage that links Robin's heart or essence with peas.Strike was still watching the starlings when Robin set down two polystyrene trays, two small wooden forks and two cans of Coke on the table.“Mushy peas,” said Strike, looking at Robin's tray, where a hefty dollop of what looked like green porridge sat alongside her fish and chips.“Yorkshire caviar,” said Robin, sitting down. “I didn't think you'd want any.”“You were right,” said Strike, picking up a sachet of tomato sauce while watching with something like revulsion as Robin dipped a chip into the green sludge and ate it.“Soft Southerner, you are,” she said, and Strike laughed. (807-808)If you tie this in with the fish symbolism embedded in Rowling's favorite paintings and the meaning of ‘Oranda,' this is quite a bit of depth in that fish bowl -- and in your argument that the death of Travolta signifies Murphy is out of consideration.You're probably to young to remember this but Travolta's most famous role will always be Tony Manero in ‘Saturday Night Fever,' the breakout event of his acting career. Manero longs for a woman way out of his league, attempts to rape her after they win a dance contest, she naturally rejects him, but they wind up as friends.Or in a book so heavy in the cultish beliefs and practices of Freemasonry, especially with respect to policemen that are also “on the square,” maybe the Travolta-Murphy link is just that the actor is, with Tom Cruise, as famous (well...) for his beliefs in Scientology as for his acting ability.So, yes, it's fun, your ‘Peas and Fish' theory, but there's something to it.Check out this note on ‘Peas' in the Strike novels from Renee over at the weblog: https://www.hogwartsprofessor.com/hallmarked-man-placeholder-post-index/comment-page-1/#comment-1699017 The fish symbolism embedded in Rowling's favorite painting: https://hogwartsprofessor.substack.com/p/rowlings-favorite-painting-and-what And the meaning of ‘Oranda:' https://www.hogwartsprofessor.com/rowling-twixter-fish-and-strike-update/Follow-Up by Julianna:I'm not sure what exact chapter this is in, but let's also not forget that on Sark, Strike procures a bag of frozen peas to soothe the spade to his face injury. I also want to add that he has used frozen peas before, to soothe his aching leg too, but I could be wrong about that…I cant remember where I've read that, so it might not be true….Lastly, after reading Renee's comment, I have to say, that now I do believe that the peas might have been an ongoing symbol for Strike (a la…the pea in the engagement ring) and…stay with me here….peas are potentially, what save Cormoran, the goldfish, from dying.“The black fish called Cormoran was again flailing helplessly at the top of the tank. ‘Stupid a*****e, you've done it to your f*cking self'.” And the very last line of the book being: “Then pushed himself into a standing position ear and knee both throbbing. In the absence of anything else he could do to improve his present situation, he set off for the attic to fetch the empty margerine tub…and some peas.” (Chapter 127).My point being: this could be a way of Rowling saying, that Strike saves himself from himself…another psychological undertone in her stories. (Lake reference: Rowling has pulled herself up out of poverty ‘by her own bootstraps' we say.) Thoughts? Thanks for induldging me here, John! I am enjoying this conversation. Apologies for the grammar and potentially confusing train of thoughts.And from Vicky:Loving the theories and symbolism around the peas and fish! Just had a thought too re John quoting the Troubled blood scene. Robin calls mushy peas by a familiar term “Yorkshire caviar”. Caviar is of course fish eggs, and poor Robin, Yorkshire born, spends much of THM agonising over the thought and pressure of freezing her eggs. Giuliana mentioned the frozen peas Strike puts on his swollen face after the spade hit...maybe this is foreshadowing to their intimate and honest dinner conversation later with Robin baring her heart to Strike about her ectopic pregnancy griefQ2: Why didn't the Strike-Ellacott Agency or the Metropolitan Police figure out how the murderer entered the Ramsay Silver vault to kill William Wright the first time they saw the grainy surveillance film of the auction house crate deliveries?Tweet UrlFrom ‘The Locked Room Lecture' (John Dickson Carr) It's silly to be disappointed in a border-line absurd Locked Room Mystery such as Hallmarked Man because improbability is close to a requirement in such stories:“But this point must be made, because a few people who do not like the slightly lurid insist on treating their preferences as rules. They use, as a stamp of condemnation, the word ‘improbable.' And thereby they gull the unwary into their own belief that ‘improbable' simply means ‘bad.'“Now, it seems reasonable to point out that the word improbable is the very last which should ever be used to curse detective fiction in any case. A great part of our liking fofr detective fiction is based on a liking for improbability. When A is murdered, and B and C are under strong suspicion, it is improbably that the innocent-looking D can be guilty. But he is. If G has a perfect alibi, sworn to at every point by every other letter in the alphabet, it is improbable that G can have committed the crime. But he has. When the detective picks up a fleck of coal dust at the seashore, it is improbable that such an insignificant thing can have any importance. But it will. In short, you come to a point where the word improbable grows meaningless as a jeer. There can be no such thing as any probability until the end of the story. And then, if you wish the murder to be fastened on an unlikely person (as some of us old fogies do), you can hardly complain because he acted from motives less likely or necessarily less apparent than those of the person first suspected.“When the cry of ‘This-sort-of-thing-wouldn't-happen!' goes up, when you complain about half-faced fiends and hooded phantoms and blond hypnotic sirens, you are merely saying, ‘I don't like this sort of story.' That's fair enough. If you do not like it, you are howlingly right to say so. But when you twist this matter of taste into a rule for judging the merit or even the probability of the story, you are merely saying, ‘This series of events couldn't happen, because I shouldn't enjoy it if it did.'“What would seem to be the truth of the matter? We might test it out by taking the hermetically sealed chamber as an example, because this situation has been under a hotter fire than any other on the grounds of being unconvincing.“Most people, I am delighted to say, are fond of the locked room. But – here's the damned rub – even its friends are often dubious. I cheerfully admit that I frequently am. So, for the moment, we'll all side together on this score and see what we can discover. Why are we dubious when we hear the explanation of the locked room? Not in the least because we are incredulous, but simply because in some vague way we are disappointed. And from that feeling it is only natural to take an unfair step farther, and call the whole business incredible or impossible or flatly ridiculous.” (reprinted in The Art of the Mystery Story [Howard Haycraft] 273-286)Q3: Hallmarked Man is all about silver and Freemasonry. What is the historical connection between South American silver (‘Argentina' means ‘Land of Silver'), the end of European feudalism, and the secret brotherhood of the Masons?How Silver Flooded the World: And how that Replaced Feudalism and the Church with Capitalism and Nation-States (‘Uncharted Territories,' Tomas Pueyo) In Europe, silver also triggered the discovery of America, a technological explosion, and a runaway chain of events that replaced feudalism with capitalism and nation-states. If you understand this, you'll be able to understand why nation-states are threatened by cryptocurrencies today, and how their inevitable success will weaken nation-states. In this premium article, we're going to explore how Europe starved for silver, and how the reaction to this flooded the world with silver. ,See also Never Bet Against America and Argentina Could be a Superpower, both by Pueyo.‘Conspiracy Theories associated with Freemasonry' (Wikipedia)* That Freemasonry is a Jewish front for world domination or is at least controlled by Jews for this goal. An example of this is the anti-Semitic literary forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Adolf Hitler believed that Freemasonry was a tool of Jewish influence,[12] and outlawed Freemasonry and persecuted Freemasons partially for this reason.[13] The covenant of the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas claims that Freemasonry is a “secret society” founded as part of a Zionist plot to control the world.[14] Hilaire Belloc thought Jews had “inaugurated” freemasonry “as a bridge between themselves and their hosts”[15]* That Freemasonry is tied to or behind Communism. The Spanish dictator Francisco Franco had often associated his opposition with both Freemasonry and Communism, and saw the latter as a conspiracy of the former; as he put it, “The whole secret of the campaigns unleashed against Spain can be explained in two words: masonry and communism”.[16] In 1950, Irish Roman Catholic priest Denis Fahey republished a work by George F. Dillon under the title Grand Orient Freemasonry Unmasked as the Secret Power Behind Communism. Modern conspiracy theorists such as Henry Makow have also claimed that Freemasonry intends the triumph of Communism[17]* That Freemasons are behind income taxes in the US. One convicted tax protester has charged that law enforcement officials who surrounded his property in a standoff over his refusal to surrender after his conviction were part of a “Zionist, Illuminati, Free Mason [sic] movement”.[18] The New Hampshire Union Leader also reported that “the Browns believe the IRS and the federal income tax are part of a deliberate plot perpetrated by Freemasons to control the American people and eventually the world”[19]Umberto Eco's The Prague Cemetery, a Freemasonry Novel (Wikipedia)So much for the link between Freemasonry and Baphomet worship!‘The Desacralization of Work' (Roger Sworder, Mining, Metallurgy, and the Meaning of Life)Q4: Ian Griffiths is the Bad Guy of Hallmarked Man. His name has definite Christian overtones (a ‘Griffin,' being half-eagle, half-lion, King of Heaven and Earth, is a symbol of Christ); could it also be another pointer to Rowling's mysterious ‘Back Door Man,' Harry Bingham, author of the Fiona Griffiths series?Troubled Blood: The Acknowledgments (Nick Jeffery, November 2020)In both Silkworm and Career Rowling/Galbraith's military advisors are thanked as SOBE (Sean Harris OBE?) Deeby (Di Brookes?) and the Back Door Man. Professor Granger has identified the Back Door Man as a southern US slang term for a man having an illicit relationship, but beyond this is so far unidentified.Any thoughts on her dedications or acknowledgements? Any new leads for the elusive Back Door Man? Please comment down below.Harry Bingham's website, June 2012“My path into TALKING TO THE DEAD was a curious one. I was approached by a well-known figure who was contemplating working with a ghostwriter on a crime thriller. I hadn't read any crime for a long time, but was intrigued by the project. So I went out and bought about two dozen crime novels, then read them back-to-back over about two weeks.”Could Rowling have hired a (gasp) “ghost writer”? Or was it just “expert editorial assistance” she was looking for, what Bingham offers today?Author's Notes in The Strange Death of Fiona Grifiths (Publication date 29th January 2015, before Career of Evil):“If you want to buy a voice activated bugging device that looks like (and is) an ordinary power socket, it'll set you back about fifty pounds (about eighty bucks).”This is the same surveillance device used in Lethal White, but interestingly is not used in Bingham's book. (Nick Jeffery)Moderators Backchannel List of Correspondences between Cormoran Strike series and Bingham's Fiona Griffiths mystery-thrillers (John Granger):(1) A series that has an overarching mystery about which we get clues in every story, one linked to a secret involving a parent who is well known but whose real life is a mystery even to their families;(2) A series that is preoccupied with psychological issues, especially those of the brilliant woman protagonist who suffers from a mental illness and who is a student of psychology;(3) A series that is absorbed with death and populated by the dead who have not yet passed on and who influence the direction of the investigation more or less covertly (”I think we have just one world, a continuum, one populated by living and dead alike,” 92, This Thing of Darkness), a psychic and spiritual realm book that rarely touches on formal religion (Dead House and Deepest Grave excepted, sort of);(4) A series that, while being a police procedural because the detective is a police officer, is largely about how said sergeant works around, even against the hierarchy of department authority and decision makers, “with police help but largely as an independent agent;”(5) A series that makes glancing references to texts that will jar Rowling Readers: “All shall be well” (284, Love Story with Murders), she drives a high heel into a creepy guy's foot when he comes up to her from behind (75, This Thing of Darkness), Clerkenwell! (103, The Dead House), a cave opening cathedral-like onto a lake, the heroine enters with a mentor, blood spilled at the entrance, and featuring a remarkable escape (chapter 34, The Dead House), etc, especially the Robin-Fiona parallels....(6) A series starring a female protagonist who works brilliantly undercover, whose story is about recovery from a trauma experienced when she was a college student, who struggles mostly with her romantic relationships with men, a struggle that is a combination of her mental health-recovery progress (or lack of same) and her vocation as a detective, who is skilled in the martial art of self-defense, and who is from a world outside London, an ethnicity and home fostering, of all things, a love of sheep;(7) A series with a love of the mythological or at least the non-modern (King Arthur! Anchorites!)Q5: Can you help us out with some UK inside jokes or cultural references of which we colonists can only guess the meaning? Start with Gateshead, Pit Ponies, and Council Flats and Bed-Sits!* Gateshead (Wikipedia)J. B. Priestley, writing of Gateshead in his 1934 travelogue English Journey, said that “no true civilisation could have produced such a town”, adding that it appeared to have been designed “by an enemy of the human race”.* Pit Ponies (Wikipedia)Larger horses, such as varieties of Cleveland Bay, could be used on higher underground roadways, but on many duties small ponies no more than 12 hands (48 inches, 122 cm) high were needed. Shetlands were a breed commonly used because of their small size, but Welsh, Russian, Devonshire (Dartmoor) and Cornish ponies also saw extensive use in England.[2] In the interwar period, ponies were imported into Britain from the Faroe Islands, Iceland and the United States. Geldings and stallions only were used. Donkeys were also used in the late 19th century, and in the United States, large numbers of mules were used.[6] Regardless of breed, typical mining ponies were low set, heavy bodied and heavy limbed with plenty of bone and substance, low-headed and sure-footed. Under the British Coal Mines Act 1911 (1 & 2 Geo. 5. c. 50), ponies had to be four years old and work ready (shod and vet checked) before going underground.[15] They could work until their twenties.At the peak of this practice in 1913, there were 70,000 ponies underground in Britain.In shaft mines, ponies were normally stabled underground[16] and fed on a diet with a high proportion of chopped hay and maize, coming to the surface only during the colliery's annual holiday.* Council Flats (Wikipedia)Q6: What are Rowling Readers to think of Robin's dream in chapter 22 (174 )when she's sleeping next to Murphy but dreaming of being at Ramsay's Silver with Strike and the showroom is filled with “cuddly toys instead of masonic swords and aprons”?* ‘Harry's Dreams:' Steve Vander Ark, Harry Potter LexiconQ7: The first bad news phone call that Robin takes from her mother Linda in Hallmarked Man is about the death of Rowntree. What is the connection between Robin's beloved Chocolate Labrador, Quakers, and Rowling's Golden Thread about ‘What is Real'?‘Troubled Blood: Poisoned Chocolates' (John Granger, 2021)‘Troubled Blood: The Secret of Rowntree' (John Granger, 2021)I explained in ‘Deathly Hallows and Penn's Fruits of Solitude‘ why Penn's quotation is a key to the Hogwarts Saga finale, how, in brief, the “inner light” doctrines of the Quakers and of non-conformist esoteric Christianity in general inform the story of Harry's ultimate victory in Dobby's grave over doubt and his subsequent ‘win' in his battle against death and the Dark Lord. I urge you to read that long post, one of the most important, I think, ever posted at HogwartsProfessor, for an idea of how central to Rowling's Christian faith the tenets of Quakerism really are as well as how this shows itself in Deathly Hallows.What makes the historical chocolate connection with the Quakers, one strongly affirmed in naming the Ellacott dog ‘Rowntree,' that much more interesting then is the easy segue from the “inner light” beliefs of the Christian non-conformists to the effect of chocolate on characters in Rowling and Galbraith novels. The conscience of man per the Quakers are our logos within that is continuous with the Logos fabric of reality, the Word that brings all things into existence and the light that is in every man (cf., the Prologue to St John's Gospel). Our inner peace and fellowship, in this view, depend on our identification with this transpersonal “inner light” rather than our ephemeral ego concerns.What is the sure way to recover from a Dementor attack, in which your worst nightmares are revisited? How does Robin deal with stress and the blues? Eat some chocolate, preferably a huge bar from Honeydukes or a chocolate brownie if you cannot get to Hogsmead.Access, in other words, the Quaker spiritual magic, the “inner light” peace of communion with what is Absolute and transcendent, a psychological effect exteriorized in story form by Rowling as the good feeling we have in eating chocolate. Or in the companionship and unconditional love of a beloved Labrador, preferably a chocolate Lab.Christmas Pig: The Blue Bunny' (John Granger, 2021)“Do you just want to live in nice houses?” asked Blue Bunny. “Or is there another reason you want to get in?”“Yes,” said Jack, before the Christmas Pig could stop him. “Somebody I need's in there. He's called DP and he's my favorite cuddly toy.”For a long moment, Jack and Blue Bunny stared into each other's eyes and then Blue Bunny let out a long sigh of amazement.“You're a boy,” he whispered. “You're real.”“He isn't,” said the panic-stricken Christmas Pig. “He's an action figure called—”“It's all right, Pig,” said Blue Bunny, “I won't tell anybody, I promise. You really came all the way into the Land of the Lost to find your favorite toy?” he asked Jack, who nodded.“Then I'll be your decoy,” said Blue Bunny. “It would be an honor” (169).The Bunny's recognition here of Jack as a messiah, sacrificial love incarnate, having descended into existence as a Thing himself from Up There where he was a source of the love that “alivens” objects, is one of, if not the most moving event in Christmas Pig. Note the words he uses: “You're real.”Rowling has used the word “real” twice before as a marker of reality transcending what we experience in conventional time and space, the sensible world. The first was in what she described as the “key” to the Harry Potter series, “lines I waited seventeen years to write” (Cruz), the end of the Potter-Dumbledore dialogue at King's Cross….In a Troubled Blood passage meant to echo that dialogue, with “head” and “backside” reflecting the characters inverted grasp of “reality,” Robin and Strike talk astrology:“You're being affected!” she said. “Everyone knows their star sign. Don't pretend to be above it.”Strike grinned reluctantly, took a large drag on his cigarette, exhaled, then said, “Sagittarius, Scorpio rising, with the sun in the first house.”“You're –” Robin began to laugh. “Did you just pull that out of your backside, or is it real?”“Of course, it's not f*****g real,” said Strike. “None of it's real, is it?” (Blood 242, highlighting in original).The Bunny's simple declaration, “You're real,” i.e., “from Up There,” the greater reality of the Land of the Living in which Things have their awakening in the love of their owners, clarifies these other usages. Dumbledore shares his wisdom with Harry that the maternal love which saved him, first at Godric's Hollow and then in the Forest, is the metaphysical sub-stance beneath, behind, and within all other reality. Strike gives Robin a dose of his skeptical ignorance and nominalist first principle that nothing is real but surface appearance subject to measurement and physical sensation, mental grasp of all things being consequent to that.Christmas Pig‘s “real” moment acts as a key to these others, one evident in the Bunny's response to the revelation of Jack's greater ontological status. He does a Dobby, offering to die for Jack as Jack has done in his descent into the Land of the Lost for DP, a surrender of self to near certain death in being given to the Loser he considers an “honor.” He acts spontaneously and selflessly as a “decoy,” a saving replacement in other words, for the “living boy” as Dobby did for the “Boy Who Lived.” The pathetic distraction that saved the DP rescue mission in Mislaid despite himself, crying out in desperation for his own existence, has metamorphized consequent to his experience with Broken Angel and in Jack's example, into a heroic decoy that allows Jack and CP to enter the City of the Missed.The Blue Bunny makes out better than the House-elf, too, and this is the key event of the book and the best evidence since the death of Lily Potter, Harry's defeat of Quirrell, and the demise of the Dark Lord that mother's love is Rowling's default symbolism for Christian love in her writing. The Bunny's choice to act as decoy, his decision to die to his ego-self, generates the life saving appearance of maternal love and its equivalent in the transference attachment a child feels for a beloved toy. The Johannine quality of the light that shines down on him from the Finding Hole and his Elijah-esque elevation nails down the Logos­-love correspondence.EC: All through Hallmarked Man Robin is saying to herself, “I think I love Ryan, no, really, I know I love him…,” which of course is Rowling's way of signaling the conflict this character has in her feelings for Strike and for Murphy. What is that about?* See ‘The Hallmarked Man's Mythological Template' for discussion of the Anteros/Eros distinction in the myth of Cupid and Psyche as well as the Strike-Ellacott novels Get full access to Hogwarts Professor at hogwartsprofessor.substack.com/subscribe

John Travolta returns as sweaty strutting disco stud Tony Manero in this misguided sequel to Saturday Night Fever co-written and directed by… Sylvester Stallone? Tony makes a brazen leap from Brooklyn to Bizarro World Broadway (and from the '70s to the '80s) but soon finds himself not in a love triangle, but a love pentagon as he vies for the lead role in a dizzyingly demented Dante-meets-disco dance revue provocatively titled Satan's Alley (not to be confused with Tropic Thunder's monks-in-forbidden-love fake film). Javi, Paul and - divinely - Producer Brad embark on their most chaotic episode yet as they are relentlessly pummeled with headbands, leotards, lens flares, slow-mo, possible vampires, and the very apotheosis of The Frank Factor as director Stallone tries to turn this film into a career catapult for his brother to outshine the Bee Gees (who apparently didn't appreciate this). In the immortal words of the film, “It's a journey through hell that ends in an ascent to heaven. You might think it's simple, but if it's gonna work you gotta bust your asses!” And we did, so you don't have to. Let's strut!Show Notes:As Paul mentioned, Dennon and Sayhber, the choreographers for Staying Alive, offer classes. Here's the link to their site where you can sign up for dance classes.

In this episode, Tim and Jeremy complete our mini-series on Saturday Night Fever by looking at the film in its cinematographic context alongside two other huge movies of the late1970s. With reference to Rocky and Taxi Driver, the guys unearth the shared visions of class and race politics in the USA of the period. They discuss the particular place of Italian Americans in the culture more broadly, discuss particular forms of American-ness, and spend some time on the real life events that inspired the character of Rocky Balboa. After that, attention returns to Travlota to wrap up SNF with a look at how the film was received at the time and since, and reflect on how their own attitudes to the movie have changed down the years. Plus the Trammps, Jem's Grandma, and the answer to the question of whether David Mancuso ever saw Tony Manero up on the big screen…Produced by Matt Huxley.We are now on Youtube!

Sembra quasi inutile una descrizione di questa pellicola, divenuta ben più di un cult. Non che, almeno personalmente, si possa parlare di vero e proprio capolavoro, ma è indubbio che La febbre del sabato sera abbia portato il mondo della discomusic anni 70 al cinema ed abbia contribuito, non solo a far scoprire John Travolta attore, ma anche John Travolta ballerino. Il suo Tony Manero è diventato leggenda: ragazzo di Brooklyn dalla vita normale, quasi banale, che lavora come commesso in una ferramenta, ma che sogna un'esistenza diversa. Il sabato sera diventa il re della discomusic e vorrebbe trovare la partner ideale, con la quale vincere un'importante concorso di ballo. Conoscerà Stephanie e forse nascerà anche l'amore. Splendide coreografie, drammi esistenziali, un'America affascinante che non esiste più, una colonna sonora che ha fatto storia, grazie anche ai Bee Gees ed al loro falsetto...La febbre del sabato sera o lo si ama o lo si odia, ma solo voi dovete decidere da quale parte essere.

Jeremy's Best Decision.by senorlongo. Listen to the ► Podcast at Connected.Chapter 15.MP put the locket back over her head, swearing once again to never remove it. She took my hand and led me upstairs. Had anyone ever questioned my mother's magical powers, they would have been silenced by seeing my room. We had a big house; a colonial with five bedrooms and five and a half baths. I had the biggest after the master suite; 12 by 12 with a small walk-in closet and private bath. Now the room was 12 by 20. Mom had removed the wall, merged the two carpets and changed the color, fixed the walls and ceiling, and painted the room. Gone were my boyish decorations, replaced by accents more suitable for a young couple, which, of course, we were. The walls were a light creamy color, the carpet a light mauve. In the middle of the long wall was a queen sized bed flanked by a dresser for MP and an armoire for me. On the opposite wall between windows that had been moved apart since I was last there were identical desks, each with its own computer and monitor networked to a color laser printer and a large flat screen TV. Most important was the second closet because I knew MP had a ton of clothes. Also, my bathroom had a stall shower; the other had a tub which I was sure we'd use together sometime in the future.The next day, after her father had gone to work; MP and I walked to her house to pick up whatever clothing we could carry. Her mother came to the door, tears in her eyes.“I'm sorry, Mary Patricia, your father took all your clothes to Goodwill the day you left. There's nothing here. I'm so sorry. I don't know what I'm going to do without you here.” MP hugged her mother, telling her not to worry. We'd keep in touch with her and, after all, we were only two doors away. When she was done, I also hugged and kissed her. “That's for raising the finest person I've ever known; the most loving, caring, most unselfish person in the world. I promise I will love her forever.”When we arrived home, MP told my mother, “It's not a big deal. I can get underwear and almost everything else I need at Wal-Mart.”Scowling, Mom replied, “No daughter of mine is going to buy her underwear or anything else at Wal-Mart! Wait here, Jeremy.” She left, walking up the stairs in a hurry. She returned a moment later handing me more than $3,000. “You don't have a credit card so take the cash. Take MP to Victoria's Secret first, then to some of the other boutiques in town. If you run out of money I'll get you more. MP, buy what you want, don't skimp on account of the cost.” She shooed us out the door.I absolutely hate shopping and sitting in Victoria's Secret among all the bras and panties was embarrassing, but MP made it all worthwhile when she told me she'd give me a special show when we got home. All told we spent five agonizing hours buying her new clothes and shoes. Why girls need so many shoes was a mystery to me. We put all of it into her closet except for one box which she refused to show me. “Later,” she said kissing me gently on the cheek.After dinner we retired to our room. I was still pretty well wiped out from my ordeal of the past few weeks. I may be a wizard, but I'm also human; I need sleep like anyone else. I led MP to the bathroom, planning on showering together, but she shook her head “no.” “Not tonight, I have something special for you and I want it to be a surprise.” She kissed me; just a little peck; and left. I showered and climbed into bed naked, turning the lights out. A few minutes later MP emerged from the other bath. She was wearing the sheerest baby doll lingerie I'd ever seen. It was a burnt-orange color that exactly matched her flaming angelic blonde hair. With the light behind her I could see the silhouette of her perfect body; her slender legs, her curvy hips, the swell of her breasts, and the alluring spread between her legs. It was an incredibly erotic sight. If this was her surprise it was sensational. I forgot immediately how tired I was. I became erect in a millisecond. I started drooling in anticipation of making love with this delightful creature.“You like?” MP whispered, climbing onto the bed next to me.I could barely respond, but somehow I managed to groan, “Oh, yes, I love it; and I love you.”MP pushed me down. “You're going to love this even more,” as she took me into her hot mouth. “Mmm, I love how you taste. You lie back and let me do all the work.” She went back to work on my cock and, if she wasn't careful, I was going to cum in about twenty seconds. MP must have sensed my excitement because she pulled back after licking all around my helmet. She kissed and licked my ball sack then moved up to lay one hell of a kiss on my lips. “I hope you like this because we're going to do it several times every day. I told you I was going to wear you out.”“Yeah? Well, maybe I'll wear you out, so there!” I declared in a weak tone which revealed my own tepid uncertainty.“Ha! That'll never happen. I'll never tire of you. Now that I have you back, I'm never letting you go. I'm going to show you how much I love you every single day.” She kissed me again, her tongue teasing mine, and sucking my lip between her teeth.Again, she gave me a peck on the cheek and lowered herself down my body. Kneeling next to me she licked all around my granite cock before rising up to straddle me. I thought she was lowering her pussy to me but; no! Was I surprised when I felt the tightness of her ass.“That's why we didn't shower together, Jeremy. I wanted to get myself ready for you. We've only done this a couple of times and I still remember how wonderful it was. Now we're going to do it all the time.” Pausing a second, she continued, “We are going to do it all the time, aren't we?”“Oh, yes, MP; we;  certainly;  are,” I grunted, reveling in what her ass was doing to me.The pressure was incredible and when MP began moving up and down the sensations spread throughout my body. I was tingling from head to toe. MP increased her pace, leaning forward and placing my hands on her breasts. I pinched those delicious nipples and rolled them over my fingers. “Do my clit, Jeremy. I just need a little help.” Mary pleaded. I moved my right hand down between our bodies. Her button was hard and hot and her cunt was running like a river. A few gentle rubs threw her over the top. She shook over and over for almost a minute in her ecstasy. I was ready, too. I rammed deep into her bowel as I lifted her more than a foot off the bed. I held her there as I came; jetting into her repeatedly until I was too exhausted to even move.MP fell on top of me. I caressed her head, running my fingers through her silky hair.“If you do that every day you'll probably kill me in a month,” I told her. “Then you'll be a wealthy widow.”“I guess that means we're getting married. Is that a proposal?” She pressed the issue.Holding her head and looking straight into her eyes, I told her, “No, MP; this is a proposal; will you marry me?”“Was there ever a question?” She beamed.“I'll take that as a ‘yes.'” I sealed the contract.“Just so there's no doubt,” she whispered, “Yes; yes; yes!”She rose and I tried to pull her back. She pushed away saying, “I need to clean you up for the morning. You do want me tomorrow morning, don't you?”All I had to do was smile. She was back in a moment with a washcloth and soap. She cleaned me carefully then tested with her tongue. She flashed the Okay sign before climbing in with me. When she draped her leg over mine, I could feel the wetness of her pussy. It was sublimely comforting as we drifted to sleep. I knew we'd be stuck together by morning.Before falling asleep there was something I had to ask her. “MP, are you sure you want to move in? Aren't you going to miss your mom and dad?”“Jeremy, you know how much I love my mother. She's the best, but my dad treats me like I'm eight instead of eighteen. You should have seen the fit he threw when I was over here after Mandy died. I won't miss that one bit.”“Okay,” I replied, “I just wanted to be sure. I wouldn't want to come between you and your family.“Don't worry about that; you are my family now.” She hugged me, laid her head on my chest, and fell asleep. I followed soon after.Chapter 16.I woke in the early morning; my clock said 4:30. MP was tracing circles on my chest. “Jeremy,” she said in the faintest whisper, “are you awake?”“Yes, MP, I guess I'm not used to sleeping like this, but I'm looking forward to getting used to it. What's the matter? Why are you awake?”“I was just thinking; Jeremy; why did you make my boobs grow?”Patiently, I explained, “Mostly because I hated the way those girls were teasing you. You were my best friend other than Ted and Josh. I loved you even then.”“Well, I'm glad you made them grow. If you hadn't, you wouldn't have come over to my house to feel and suck them, and I wouldn't have jerked you off, or given you a blowjob; and then you wouldn't have made me cum, and we wouldn't have fucked or become a couple. So, I guess making them grow was a good decision.”“Huh? MP, how long have you been thinking about this?”“A long time, Jeremy; a very long time.” She stopped tracing circles and moved her hand down to my cock. I was already hard. “Oh, Jeremy,” she cooed, “I think you're ready for me again.”I grabbed her suddenly and rolled her over. She was pinned beneath me, my legs between hers. “You think I'm ready for you? I know I am!” I kissed her hard as I pinched her nipple. She groaned into my mouth. She reached between us to rub my cock into her opening. She was already wet and oozing pussy juice. She pulled me into her as she wrapped her legs around my waist. I pushed hard, forcing myself against her cervix. “Oh, yes, JEREMY, Fuck me! Fuck me harder!” We moved into each other faster and harder. We were working hard for each other; sweat pooled between MP's tits. Our moans and grunts were coming faster and faster. “Oh, Yes! Yes! Yes!” MP was screaming as her orgasm took over her body, shaking and shuddering beneath me. I was pumping her madly until, “Ugh!” My cum poured into MP until, at last, I fell in a heap onto her. I moved her leg, rolled over, kissed her, and held her tight as we, once again, fell asleep.We woke around eight, showered together, and walked into the kitchen in our robes. Mom was there, bags under her eyes. “Don't you two ever sleep?” she asked.“Sorry, Mom,” I replied. “I guess we got a little carried away.”“Oh, don't apologize, Jeremy. When your father heard you he got so hot he gave me the best fucking I've had in months.” MP and I laughed.“Mom, I asked MP to marry me. She said 'yes.' That's why we were celebrating.”“I assumed that was a fait accompli. But it nice to know it's official. What will your parents say, MP?”“My mom will be thrilled. I don't care what my dad thinks.” We ate breakfast as Mom and MP talked about their plans for the future. They got along much better than I could have dreamed. Mom taught MP some of the simpler spells, mostly things to do with housework, cooking, and the like. She also taught her some defense spells; just in case. They made great companions for each other, too.We were home about a week when MP told me there was something we had to do. I took her to a florist where she bought a dozen white roses and a heavy ceramic vase. Then we went to the one place I dreaded; the cemetery. MP placed the flowers on Mandy's grave. I couldn't help myself; I started crying again. When MP took my hand I noticed she was crying as hard as I was. We went to visit Mandy every week and we cried every time. When her headstone was laid we planted flowers and marveled at how they bloomed even in the cold of winter.We decided to marry as soon as we could for two reasons. The first was to allow MP to share in my magical powers. As my wife she could tap into my abilities to supplement hers. The second was because her father was acting like an ass. First, he tried to snatch MP as we were coming out of the supermarket. You already know how far that got. I was just about to freeze him when MP held her hand up telling me to stop. I could see her reciting a spell she got from Mom. She held her thumb and forefinger apart and slowly moved them together. “Don't let them touch, MP, unless you want to kill him.” This spell was squeezing his balls and it wasn't long before he was on the pavement rolling around in agony.“Daddy,” MP began, “I don't want anything to do with you anymore. You're the one who threw me out, remember? You're the one who threw away all my clothes. If you ever try anything like this again I'll really hurt you.” This was the only time I had ever seen MP angry; she was magnificent! She joined me in the car. When we drove away her father was still lying on the pavement.About a week later he called the police in the middle of the night accusing me of kidnapping MP. It took us an hour to explain to the cops, with MP telling them repeatedly that there was no way she was ever going home and that as an eighteen year-old, she could live wherever she chose. The next day my dad's attorney obtained a restraining order, keeping him at least 100 feet away from his daughter.In mid-August we visited my grandfather. Mom teleported us and Grandpa would send us back. I wouldn't be able to do this until I became a warlock at twenty-one. Grandpa greeted us warmly in his home just outside St. Augustine, Florida. After hugging me he turned to MP. “And you are obviously Mary Patricia. I'd recognize you anywhere.” Seeing our confusion he had us follow him into his study. He pulled a thick leather-bound volume from a shelf. It was old, the leather cracked in several places. He had a page bookmarked. When he opened it he showed us a photo. Other than the clothes I would have sworn it was MP's twin. It was her great, great, great grandmother; Mary Patricia O'Brien. He told us what he knew about her: “She lived in a poor village owned by an English lord near Galway. He was a hard man who loved the ladies, especially young pretty ones like Mary Patricia O'Brien; yes, the same name as you. He forced her to sleep with him when she was only fourteen by threatening her family, so her powers were doomed on her eighteenth birthday. Of course, she became pregnant and, unfortunately, died in childbirth. That's why none of her descendants knew she was a witch.Remember, too, that in those days witches were burned so she couldn't do much in her defense without exposing herself. It was a bad situation all around. Now, Mary Patricia, I know you made a promise to my grandson. Feel free to honor your promise while you are here; it's important that you do. And, you'll make me feel young again, too.”That night MP climbed into bed spooning behind me. “Jeremy,” she whispered alluringly as she rubbed her hard nipples up and down my back. “Jeremy,” she continued, “I don't want to disappoint Grandpa. I know he wants us to fuck and enjoy each other. Besides; I'm really horny tonight.”“MP,” I said as I rolled over, “you're horny every night.”“Yeah, and every morning and every afternoon, too; I can't help myself; I love you.” She leaned up and planted a big wet kiss on my lips. Her tongue teased my lips; her finger teased my nipple. “Damn, MP, you know all my buttons, don't you?”“Of course, Jeremy, that's my job. Now, are we going to talk all night or make love?”“Hmm,” I whispered back, “tough choice.” MP gave me a playful elbow to the ribs as I pulled her on top of me. She rubbed her hot slit up and down my sceptre, riding me to hardness. She rose up and, looking me in the eyes, pulled me into her. I slid into her heavenly cunt slowly, enjoying how her muscles were rippling up and down my cock. “Damn, MP, how do you come up with all these things to do to me?“Didn't I just tell you? It's my job to take care of you.” She began a slow rocking motion, bending me within her muscular canal; creating friction that would ultimately help us both. I reached up to massage her fantastic firm breasts and leaned forward for a long kiss. When we broke it MP was really hot, “GIVE It To Me Jeremy! You Know I Love It Rough. Ram It Into Me!” I responded by forcing my big cock deep into her, bottoming out on every thrust. I knew I was getting close so I found her clit, teasing it with the edge of my fingernail. MP gave a tremendous shudder, shouting at the top of her lungs, “Oh, Jeremy!” She collapsed onto my chest just as I shot river after river of hot cum into her womb. I kissed her gently, rubbed her back, and put my arms around her. “Good night, darling. You are the best thing that's ever happened to me.” One more kiss and we were ready for sleep.We had a great visit with Grandpa and just before we were to leave he asked MP to stand before him. He put his hand on her forehead. “Mary Patricia, I'm imbuing you with some of my powers. I have more than I can possibly use and I can see you'll use them wisely. My grandson has made an excellent choice.”Turning to me he continued, ”You forgot something, didn't you, Jeremy? Mary Patricia is four generations removed from her full-witch ancestor so she didn't have any powers other than being able to intercept partial telepathic messages. But you have been depositing your seed in her several times a day for some time and every time you do she is picking up a tiny amount of your power. However, that won't last and, if I hadn't given her some of mine, she would not be able to share yours when you marry. She would have nothing to build upon. Tsk, tsk, Jeremy, you should have known better.” I felt stupid, but Grandpa smiled, hugged us both and said “good-bye.” In a twinkling we were back home.Chapter 17.Life calmed down considerably and after all the tumultuous times we'd had the peace was welcome. We decided to take the fall semester off after everything that had occurred to us. Mom and Dad thought it a smart move, too. We wed the week following Christmas shortly after MP and I had turned twenty. MP was raised in an Irish Catholic family so a church wedding was important to her. It was a small ceremony; Ted and Josh were ushers; Dad walked MP down the aisle. Her mother was an honored guest as was Grandpa. Her father wasn't invited and we were relieved when he didn't show up. Had he come he was going to have to deal with my mother's wrath; not something I'd like to describe here. We lived near Greenwich, Connecticut so after the ceremony Mom and Dad treated all of us to dinner at Manero's, a fabulous and famous steak house originally owned by pro golfer Tony Manero who had won the 1936 US Open. In addition to wonderful steaks Manero's is reputed to have the best garlic bread ever. They claim that the best defense against their garlic bread is to have some yourself. Grandpa passed the basket to me. “Thanks, Grandpa, but I think I'll pass.”The entire group laughed wildly when MP said, “Um; me, too.” That was one of the few times I ever saw MP turn red with embarrassment. Everyone there knew we had been making love for years so I never did figure out what the big deal was. We flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico for a honeymoon courtesy of Grandpa. A warlock buddy of his was the manager of a beautiful oceanfront hotel. He took great care of us. We swam and sunned, ate wonderful food, and made beautiful love over and over and over. Our wedding night MP came out of the bathroom wearing a sexy white teddy. She slinked rather than walked until she was halfway across the room. Then she dropped to the floor and slowly crawled. I

Welcome to Dem Vinyl Boyz, where we're about to step onto the glittering dance floors of the '70s with the iconic "Saturday Night Fever" movie soundtrack. Released in 1977, this isn't just a soundtrack; it's a cultural phenomenon that defined an era. "Saturday Night Fever" is a disco inferno of pulsating beats, soulful melodies, and unforgettable dancefloor anthems that became the quintessential sound of the late '70s. From the electrifying energy of "Stayin' Alive" to the soulful vibes of "How Deep Is Your Love," the Bee Gees dominated this soundtrack, contributing to its unforgettable disco flair. The album also features hits from other artists like Yvonne Elliman, Tavares, and KC and the Sunshine Band, creating a sonic landscape that mirrors the glamorous yet gritty world of disco nightlife. Beyond the music, "Saturday Night Fever" captured the spirit of a generation. The film, starring John Travolta as Tony Manero, brought disco culture to the forefront and turned the soundtrack into a global phenomenon. The Bee Gees' falsetto harmonies and the soundtrack's infectious beats became synonymous with the disco craze. As we gently place the needle on the vinyl, we invite you to join us in rediscovering the disco magic of "Saturday Night Fever." We'll delve into the album's impact on popular culture, its influence on the disco movement, and the enduring legacy of a soundtrack that continues to make us want to dance. So, put on your dancing shoes, and let's groove to the iconic sounds of "Saturday Night Fever" on this episode of "Dem Vinyl Boyz."

Sometimes, you have to turn on your friends. After years of friendship and partnership and other kinds of ships, you just have to tell your friend, enough is enough. Sometimes you may be paid to do it, sometimes you have just grown tired of them, and sometimes it is because you have a new knife and you want to see how well it fits in that guys back. With that said....let me tell you about Jeff. We need to talk about his breath first. You may not know this, but today's high-tech microphones are all include multi-layered, immersive technology. A lot of the changes are due to more people working in the office. There is a call for additional ways to promote in person interactions, and so we now can smell people in online meetings. This is a problem. I have even bought the guy breath mints. The dude is a show off. Like every time we go somewhere he is all like, "Look at me and my wonderful beard" and " Have you ever seen such an amazing toupee", and also "You all need to eat my broccoli and hot dog casserole!" He is so annoying. You win one county fair casserole bake-off, you think you are a god. Give me a break. Then there is his wardrobe and fashion. It must be nice to get to wear all those fantastic clothes and costumes. Sometime I would like to be sent the finest t-shirts made. Not everyone has a secret benefactor who keeps you afloat in the latest middle-aged, stay-at-home dad fashion. I do not care that he has a new generic shirt for each hour of the day. UGH. Here is another thing that annoys me about Jeff...his stupid athletic skill. Just because he mastered lacrosse, water polo, and fencing in high school, does not make him interesting. Do you know how annoying it is to arrive a party with someone who likes to do somersaults across the lawn. You will always pale next to that, trust me. Being around someone like Jeff is just annoying. He sucks the light from the room and absorbs it onto himself. And then...he struts. He knows what he is doing and he STRUTS. The man cannot even walk like a human. He has to "Tony Manero" his way into every room. Needless to say, I am done being a little puppet for Jeff to play with. I will not dance on his string any longer. He will not control me, or make me his ....puppet. It is time for me to stand on my own, and to tell him exactly what I think of him. This is Jeff writing now. I would like to apologize for the mean spirited remarks made by my friend and partner. He has been under a lot of stress from work and running my podcast. Sometime, he just lets himself do too much. Trust me, we are still friends. Our relationship has never been better.   If you want to see the art from this book, check out our website at: https://jeffandrickpresent.wordpress.com/2023/12/17/avengers-academy-24-family/   We also have some merchandise over at Redbubble.

El Festival de cine latinoamericano de Biarritz proyectó la nueva producción del director Pablo Larraín, "El Conde", con la que el cineasta chileno enfrenta la figura del dictador Augusto Pinochet cuando se cumple medio siglo del golpe de Estado que lo llevó al poder. ¡Yo no quiero vivir 250 años más! El chileno Pablo Larraín es un director de cine que ha explorado la historia de su país con una narrativa peculiar y a veces incómoda. Su trilogía de Chile, compuesta por "Tony Manero", "Post Mortem" y "No", muestra la violencia de la dictadura y la transición hacia la democracia a través de personajes periféricos. Pero su última película, "El Conde", aborda de frente la figura del dictador: un Augusto Pinochet convertido en un vampiro impune e inmortal.Larraín explicó a RFI en español que “ya era tiempo de poder intentar hacer una película sobre Pinochet. Nos pareció interesante poder enfrentarlo y la manera de hacerlo fue generar un contenido que tenga cierta distancia con él. Entonces hicimos una película que es una forma de farsa o sátira, una comedia en blanco y negro que intenta hacer una reflexión desde lo absurdo, desde el delirio que representa ese tipo de personas."Leer también'Tenemos síndrome de Estocolmo': crecen la nostalgia y el revisionismo a 50 años del golpe en ChileImpunidad y eternidadDesde Biarritz, donde se sumó a la programación del Festival de cine latinoamericano dedicada a los 50 años del golpe de Estado en Chile, el director agregó que para armar "El Conde" hicieron "un ejercicio bastante básico que fue decirnos que la impunidad que gozó Pinochet lo transformó en un figura más bien eterna. Y probablemente en el cine la mejor manera de articular esa eternidad, ese mal que se eterniza, es pues desde la figura del vampiro." Leer también'Fui a buscar mi pasaporte y me torturaron': recuerdos de exiliados chilenos en Francia"El Conde" fue producida por la plataforma Netflix, pero el público de Biarritz puedo verla en pantalla gigante.

"El Conde" é o 11o filme dirigido pelo cineasta chileno Pablo Larrain. Pra quem não ligou o nome às obras, ele foi o responsável por excelentes produções nos últimos 15 anos, como os divertidos “Tony Manero” e “No”, o sombrio “O Clube” e os biográficos “Neruda”, “Jackie” e “Spencer”.::Passando pela sinopse, temos uma mistura curiosa de História, sártira e terror: numa realidade alternativa, Augusto Pinochet é um vampiro envelhecido e isolado em uma mansão abandonada. Após 250 anos se alimentando de sangue para sobreviver, frustrado com a forma como é visto e cercado por uma família oportunista, ele já não vê nenhuma razão para continuar sua trajetória pela vida eterna. Porém, quando tudo parece perdido, El Conde acaba descobrindo uma inspiração que faz querer abandonar seus planos.::Coloque seu fone, aumente o volume e Senta que lá vem Spoiler!

COULD this be the greatest sequel EVER?  Well considering that it was the long-awaited follow-up to one of the most influential smashes (Saturday Night Fever) of the 1970's and has very little in common with that disco drama outside of bringing back its star (John Travolta) along with some new songs from The Bee-Gee's, then the most likely answer would be NO.  Upon release forty years ago, this film was universally panned as a shameless cash grab on the part of both Travolta and its director, Sylvester Stallone....yup that's right, Stallone is a director TOO and this remains the only film he has ever directed which does not feature a prominent role for him.  The story brings our hero Tony Manero to slick early '80's Manhattan across the river from his home town of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn - he's now a struggling actor/dancer looking for a breakout opportunity.....and he might have now found it landing a role in the hot new Broadway musical, "Satan's Alley."  And we'll leave it that.....the film also co-stars Cynthia Rhodes and Finola Hughes and ALSO features several new songs from Frank Stallone. :o (Yes they are related....he's Sylvester's brother)See below for a link to the Cinema Snob review of this same movie which is referenced in this review:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFT_0JxQ93E&t=1sHost: Geoff Gershon  Editors: Geoff and Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershonhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Tom and Bert discuss the 1970's Music and Movies and with the slang back in the day. The Music of the '70's may have been the BEST decade ever in our opinion. This pod has a heavy dose covering the Movies and story telling from some of the shows that they saw and the impact that it had on their family and friends as well. From "Mash" the movie to the horror classic "The Exorcist" as well as "Jaws" and "The Godfather" we discuss how these blockbusters have a lasting legacy among the best pictures we saw and how timeless they were some 50 years later.We then talk about a movie that was the springboard for a new music craze,  "Saturday Night Fever", and how John Travolta turned in a performance of a lifetime as Tony Manero , a young Brooklyn man whose life is a daily grind until the weekends arrive and he hits the Disco with his buddies and dances and parties away. Lots of life lessons are learned and the Bee Gee's musical soundtrack serves as the centerpiece of what life was like at the Clubs and ushered in the Disco Era!Lastly we go over the Music Artists that we recommend from the wild decade of the 1970's.Please Follow and rate the show and leave comments as well. We would love to hear from you all.

Compassion moves guilt and EVERYTHING is an opportunity for compassion, says @drkimderamo. Your body is your teacher AND your healer. Your internal guidance system. Your mind can live in the past and future but your body only lives in now, and now is truth so therefore.... Your surrendering truth to not be abandoned. Your surrendering health along with that truth. You only learn from lessons you pay for. The art of playing through. The self improvement hamster wheel. The 'Fight' against diseases does not heal. Switch guilt/shame for hope/optimism. Ground the body in nature to restore body function, says @clintober. Play by play of @undergaro's recent colonic.  RGF Bonus: RGF Retro Matchmaking continues. This week @poojanayyar and @thekelseymeyer weigh in on Tony Manero from #SaturdaynNightFever while their moms weigh in on #JimMorrison. Bye Betches.
