In this offbeat edition of Word ,Balloon's SCENE MISSING  Gabriel Hardman and I peel back the curtain on the gloriously chaotic making of Beat the Devil (1953), the cult classic that blended noir, comedy, and adventure long before it was fashionable.With a script co-written on the fly by Truman Capote, a sardonic performance from Humphrey Bogart, and the directing flair of John Huston, Beat the Devil was a film where nearly nothing went according to plan—and that's exactly what makes it legendary. We dig into the behind-the-scenes madness: from Bogart breaking his teeth in a car crash and dubbing lines with a lisp, to Capote allegedly writing pages each morning just before they were filmed.Shot on location in Italy with a freewheeling cast of characters—including Gina Lollobrigida, Robert Morley, and Peter Lorre—this film defied studio expectations and genre conventions. Whether you see it as a brilliant satire or an accidental masterpiece, Beat the Devil remains a time capsule of mid-century moviemaking gone delightfully rogue. Join us as we celebrate the charming chaos and unlikely alchemy that brought it to life.

In this chilling episode of Stuttering in Silence, Matt and Gavin unravel one of America's most haunting true crime cases—the brutal 1959 slaying of the Clutter family in Holcomb, Kansas. What started as a supposed robbery turned into a senseless and calculated murder that shook the nation. We explore the twisted minds of Perry Smith and Richard Hickock, the flawed plan that led to tragedy, and how Truman Capote's In Cold Blood forever changed the way we tell true crime stories. This isn't just a murder story—it's the tale of how innocence was stolen from a small town overnight.

In this episode of The Guilty Files: True Crime Uncovered, Brian takes us back to the heartland of America—Holcomb, Kansas—where one of the most chilling and senseless mass murders in U.S. history occurred. On the night of November 15, 1959, four members of the Clutter family were brutally murdered in their own home, sending shockwaves through a tight-knit farming community and eventually capturing the nation's attention.Brian lays out the cold, hard facts of the case—from the meticulous planning by ex-convicts Perry Smith and Richard Hickock, to the terrifying final hours of Herbert, Bonnie, Nancy, and Kenyon Clutter. We follow the timeline of events that led up to the murders, the aftermath that devastated the town, and the cross-country manhunt that brought the killers to justice.You'll hear about the calculated cruelty behind the crime, the seemingly motiveless brutality, and the forensic and investigative work that cracked the case wide open.Brian also touches on how this horrific story caught the eye of author Truman Capote, who would later immortalize it in his genre-defining nonfiction novel In Cold Blood.This episode is a sobering look at the violence that can lurk behind a calm exterior—and a stark reminder that no place, no matter how peaceful, is ever truly safe from evil.Content Warning: This episode contains detailed descriptions of a home invasion and the murder of multiple family members, including a minor.

In this haunting episode of The Guilty Files: Rewired, Dani pulls back the layers of the infamous Clutter family murders—not just to revisit the crime, but to reimagine the emotional and psychological shockwave it left behind.This isn't a retelling of the facts—that's already been done.Instead, Dani dives deep into the psyche of Perry Smith and Richard Hickock, the two drifters whose fractured paths led them to one brutal night in Holcomb, Kansas. What made them tick? How did childhood trauma, cycles of poverty, and a hunger for significance culminate in the cold-blooded execution of a family they'd never met?But the story doesn't end there. Dani also explores the impact of Truman Capote's In Cold Blood—how it blurred the lines between journalism and narrative, empathy and exploitation. Was Capote shining a light on the forgotten corners of the justice system, or was he romanticizing killers for the sake of literary fame?Through speculative storytelling, psychological analysis, and a few chilling “what ifs,” Dani rewires this case with fresh questions:What if someone had intervened in Perry's youth?What if the Clutters had never opened their door that night?What if In Cold Blood had never been written?This episode reimagines the Clutter murders not just as a crime—but as a mirror reflecting the fragility of safety, the failings of society, and the cost of trying to humanize the inhumane.Content Warning: Contains discussion of murder, trauma, and speculative depictions of violence.

You know the book. You know the movie. But do you know the Broadway musical that lasted just three days? In the mid-1960s, producer David Merrick (the notorious "Abominable Showman") had a glittering vision: transform Truman Capote's beloved Breakfast at Tiffany's into a Broadway musical. He assembled a dream team: beloved TV star Mary Tyler Moore as Holly Golightly, heartthrob Richard Chamberlain, and legendary director Abe Burrows. What could go wrong? Almost everything. In this episode, we unravel the chaotic, star-studded saga of Breakfast at Tiffany's. From disastrous out-of-town tryouts and frantic rewrites to a rough stint on the road before trying to make it to Broadway, this is the story of a glamorous failure that became one of the most infamous flops in theater history.

She is immediately taken with her young charge, Flora, and strikes an instant friendship with Mrs. Grose, the housekeeper. Despite the encouraging start, small moments of discomfort begin to poke at Miss Giddens new normal. When Miles is expelled from his boarding school, Miss Giddens finds herself caught up in the effects from the not too distant past. Based on one of the most influential horror tales ever written with a screenplay co-written by Truman Capote, taking a three week break from his magnum opus to work on it, and casting its own shadow nearly as long for itself- The Innocents.     Lillian founds a ballet company in the name of her late husband. Her ambulance-chasing attorney, Roland T. Flakfizer- assisted by associated   Rocco and Jacques, face off against the late husband's equally conniving lawyer, Edmundo Lazlo. The legal eagles compete to sign the world's greatest ballet dancer, "The Great" Volare, and to deliver an awe-inspiring Broadway debut for the new company. Inspired by the Marx Brothers, even being filmed at the same locations as several of their most beloved films, produced by David and Jerry Zucker, and fully embracing the "they don't make them like they used to" lifestyle- Brain Donors.     All that and Kevin enthuses, Dave forgot, and Tyler weeps in his Happy Place.

Marco Rossari"Piccolo dizionario delle malattie letterarie"Einaudi Editorewww.einaudi.itI libri sono una febbre bellissima, e tutti noi ne siamo malati. Ma che succede quando vi viene la sindrome di Salinger? E che cos'è l'intellettualite? Avete mai avuto il complesso di Henry Miller o la paranoia di Pessoa? E il flaubertismo, o il singhiozzo di Dickinson? Compilando questo breve, fulminante dizionario, Marco Rossari ci racconta cosa significhi esser contagiati dal virus delle parole. Perché è vero che la letteratura è spesso un portentoso medicinale, ma nessuno ci aveva mai detto che le controindicazioni possono essere pericolose e divertentissime.Con intelligenza e sarcasmo, Marco Rossari stila un elenco curioso ed esilarante di tic, compulsioni, vizi, vezzi e malattie immaginarie contratte da chi, nella vita, ha scelto di dedicarsi anima e corpo ai libri. Troverete l'antidepressivo Sedaris, il morbo di Bernhard, i medicamenti fasulli dell'autopubblicazione, la plaquette come forma di infezione batterica contratta tramite enjambement e la bukowskite, che sappiamo di avere quando ci svegliamo dopo una sbronza e improvvisamente ci sentiamo scrittori. E poi la temutissima sindrome di Franzen e quella adolescenziale di Siddharta, il borgesismo come forma acuta di labirintite. Chi contrae l'intellettualite legge Bachtin mentre tutta l'Italia guarda Sanremo, invece chi romanza troppo la propria vita potrebbe aver preso il morbo di Zeno… Pubblicato per la prima volta da Italo Svevo Edizioni nel 2016, torna in una nuova versione rivista e ampliata questo divertissement acuminato, perfetto per chi è capace di non prendersi troppo sul serio. Da sfogliare e leggere ad alta voce, da conservare come un talismano e consultare come un oracolo – anzi, un bugiardino.Marco Rossari ha pubblicato per Einaudi i romanzi Nel cuore della notte (2018) e L'ombra del vulcano (2023) e Piccolo dizionario delle malattie letterarie (2025). Nel 2019 ha pubblicato il volume di poesie Le bambinacce (Feltrinelli) a quattro mani con Veronica Raimo. Ha tradotto e curato opere di Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Truman Capote, Anthony Burgess, Charles Dickens, Joseph Conrad, George Orwell e tanti altri.

¿Debe tener límites la literatura cuando se adentra en territorios de profundo dolor real? ¿Hasta qué punto pueden ir los autores si escriben sobre historias verdaderas? El disparador de estas preguntas es la decisión que tomó hace pocas semanas la editorial Anagrama de no publicar la novela "El Odio" del escritor español Luisgé Martín. La obra, que retrata al asesino José Bretón, un andaluz que en 2011 mató a sus dos hijos pequeños en un acto de venganza contra su expareja, había generado una fuerte expectativa en España, entre otras razones por los recursos legales que interpuso la madre de los niños, Ruth Ortiz, para bloquear el libro. La Justicia no dio lugar a esos reclamos pero, de todos modos, la editorial optó por rescindir el contrato con el autor y retirar el libro antes de su publicación. Entrevistado por RTVE de España, el autor del texto aseguró que nadie en su entorno le planteó que la madre de las víctimas fuera a parar el libro, dado que en su mirada es una obra en la que “la empatía está con las víctimas”. "Me sorprende y me escandaliza también más que un libro como este se prohíba y se censure. Creo que puede aportar al diálogo". No es, por supuesto, el primer libro que se acercó a “villanos” de la vida real. Podríamos recordar aquella obra maestra de la novela periodística, "A sangre fría", de Truman Capote, con su crónica sobre dos hombres que mataron a una familia entera. O, más cerca en el tiempo, "El adversario", del francés Emmanuel Carrère. Los dos libros fueron publicados en español, justamente, por la editorial Anagrama. ¿Es la literatura un espacio sin límites? ¿Todo debe ser publicable en nombre de la libertad de expresión?

por Yaiza Santos Tiene algunas objeciones a la manera en que el periódico trata la última información sobre el fiscal general del Estado. Veremos qué tan exitosa resulta la cuestión, para quién y qué significa el adjetivo que con tanta ligereza ha lanzado el juez Hurtado. Es posible, incluso probable, que en el paquete entregado por Google no solamente estén correos electrónicos sino todo tipo de documentos. ¡Impensable algo así hace treinta años! De algo está seguro: nadie, y mucho menos una autoridad pública, resiste a la exhibición pública de una semana de comunicaciones. A cuento de los muertos de los pasados días –Vargas Llosa, Francisco, Prenafeta–, Santos leyó el imprescindible decálogo sobre el género, que, dijo él, no estaría mal que se aplicara también a los vivos. El documental sobre Carrère en Filmin y lo ocurrido con Luisgé Martín le empujan a despotricar sobre el pensamiento literario, y a recordar lo que le contaba Sánchez Ferlosio. Vuelve a detectarlo en el discurso de Pombo al recibir el Cervantes, cargado del narcisismo de aquello que decía Michel Leiris, el choque de dos palabras. Este Pombo crepuscular, por otra parte, tan parecido a Léautaud, le lleva a hacerse una pregunta que le parece obligatoria para toda persona con vida pública: ¿cuándo retirarse? No es el momento, desde luego, para Pascal Bruckner, que se demuestra entero y lúcido. Elogió del francés la metáfora que usa para Occidente sobre la princesa y el guisante, la verdadera naturaleza victimista que detecta en Trump y, sobre todo, lo que observa sobre la víctima, nuevo héroe. No, sentenció, recordando los peores años del terrorismo: la víctima puede no tener razón. Y fue así que Espada yiró.
