Estrenamos nueva temporada de JAQUEa2 con un monográfico sobre 'Gambito de dama'. Y ponemos el foco documental en Walter Tevis, autor de la novela homónima que inspiró la serie de Netflix. Tevis escribió otras obras clásicas de la literatura: 'El buscavidas' (1959), 'El hombre que cayó a la Tierra' (1963) o 'El color del dinero' (1984), tres historias que también se adaptaron al cine. El 15 de febrero de 1983, Tevis concedió una entrevista al periodista Don Swain. Oímos algunos cortes sonoros de este fabuloso encuentro y nos adentramos en el mundo creativo de Tevis y su pasión por el ajedrez. En la sección 'Enroque corto', hablamos con Pablo Guirado y Hugo Pérez, dos jovencísimos ajedrecistas que han logrado el oro para España en el Campeonato de Europa (sub-10) por equipos, recién celebrado en Praga. Estrenamos sección: 'La biblioteca de Caissa', donde el maestro Luisón nos recomendará, cada semana, un libro clásico y otro contemporáneo. En 'La gran diagonal' recibimos el saludo y la pregunta del joven campeón Lorenzo Perea Fruet.

Die Ozempic Spritze, ursprünglich entwickelt als ein Diabetes Medikament, hat für einen extremen Hype gesorgt:Gefühlt die ganze Welt hat sich gefragt, was diese Spritze kann und ob sie nicht die lang ersehnte Lösung für das eigene Übergewicht ist. 52 Prozent der Menschen in Deutschland haben mittlerweile Übergewicht – in Großbritannien sind es 63 Prozent, in den USA sogar deutlich mehr als zwei Drittel der Frauen und Männer. Wie gefährlich das sein kann, welche Begleit- und Folgeerkrankungen damit verbunden sind, ist weithin bekannt.Kann also dieses Medikament helfen, um der globalen Volkskrankheit Übergewicht ein Ende zu bereiten? Und was sagt es über unsere Weltgesellschaft aus, wenn wir auf sie angewiesen sind, um Übergewicht zu regulieren? Darüber spricht Alev Doğan in diesem Achten Tag mit dem Diabetologen Dr. Baptist Gallwitz.Die Stilfrage blickt auf die Verwechslung zweier Philosophen; Alev Approved den Roman Der Mann, der vom Himmel fiel von Walter Tevis und die Zukunft gehört… der Meta-Moderne.

THE COLOR OF MONEY and SEA OF LOVEDirectors with a day job for season 10? What about the most important person behind the scenes NOT the director? The writer.RICHARD PRICE was a renowned author before trying his hand at screenwriting, which resulted in a "calling card" script that everyone loved but no one wanted to make into a movie. Classic Hollywood. As we discuss going over Price's career, he eventually ended up adapting the novel The Color of Money (1986), the sequel to The Hustler. Director Martin Scorsese (what ever happened to that guy?) and Price ended up chucking Walter Tevis' source novel and what we see onscreen is mostly Price, a pool hall road trip with Tom Cruise, Paul Newman and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio (no joke, what happened to her?). How the writing of this film informed Price as an author is almost as fascinating as the movie itself. We get into it. In 1989 Price's script for Sea of Love was an immensely important film for star Al Pacino, who'd been in actor jail since the disastrous Revolution (1985), which was preceded by a number of financial disappointments . Pacino has since cemented himself as one of the all time greats but in 1989 a lot of people thought he was washed - going through the motions and box office poison. Sea of Love reestablished Pacino for the big screen and still stands as one of his best roles and maybe sexiest? Has Pacino ever been sexy?  Price's script is so good it almost seems embarrassed to have a serial killer plot and we get into that dynamic.Screenwriter and frequent guest Erik and Ken geek out over both films and Price in general. We talk a lot about directors on this show (many would say too much) so it is fitting we give a little love to the lonely art of writing and the weird art of writing for film.

"Chỉ có chim nhại hót ở bìa rừng." Thế kỉ 24, trong các đô thị tự động hóa, robot hiện diện khắp nơi, điều hành xã hội theo luật lệ nghiêm ngặt. Bentley - một cá nhân khác biệt giữa thời đại ấy - lần theo dấu vết xã hội loài người đã bị xóa sổ. Anh bí mật xem phim xưa, học chữ để đọc sách, kích hoạt cảm xúc vốn dĩ chỉ hiện diện bên trong con người. Anh bắt đầu cảm nhận được tình yêu. Anh thiết tha gắn bó với một cô gái thông minh táo bạo. Nhưng những điều này lại khiến anh trở thành kẻ phạm luật cần phải giam cầm. Và, hành trình tìm kiếm tự do cùng nhân tính của Bentley - con chim nhại cô độc, khởi đi từ đây. Chim Nhại, tiểu thuyết khoa học viễn tưởng được nhà văn Walter Tevis viết vào đoạn cuối thế kỉ 20, như một hình dung về nhân loại sau ba trăm năm nữa. Thế nhưng không cần đợi lâu như thế, ngày nay, những vấn đề Walter Tevis đặt ra đã manh nha trở thành sự thật. Xét cho cùng, robot chỉ được phát minh từ tình yêu mù quáng đối với công nghệ cho phép tạo ra chúng. Chúng giải phóng con người khỏi lao động vất vả, nhưng với trí thông minh nhân tạo không ngừng hoàn thiện, chúng cũng mang theo nguy cơ hủy diệt nhân tính, hủy diệt loài người. Những quyển sách hay khiến người ta phải suy nghĩ sâu sắc về con người cũng như khả năng tồn tại của họ. Và Chim Nhại là một quyển sách như thế.

After a two-week hiatus...and a hilariously unexpected detour in our attempt to do "The Manchurian Candidate" on this episode, my guest Keir Graff and I pivoted to 'The Color of Money' and I'm so glad we did. This episode features a lot of great stories about the making of the film, and also includes plenty of necessary discussion about 'The Hustler', specifically Piper Laurie, Paul Newman, Jackie Gleason, and George C. Scott's performances in that original film, the shared origin of the novels by the prolific, alcoholic, (and ultimately recovered) novelist Walter Tevis, who ALSO wrote the books turned into the film 'The Man Who Fell To Earth' and the Netflix series 'The Queen's Gambit'.  We talk about the gentle arc of Newman's life and career, viewed a bit through the lens of recent materials (materials it seems he never intended to make public) that shed light on what he was thinking and feeling during various important moments throughout his life.  And we talk about the curious reception that 'The Color of Money' continues to have among cineastes...and we play the famous Siskel & Ebert two thumbs down review of the film upon its release in 1986.  Hey, nobody's perfect! But it's funny in retrospect how so many of us at the time missed the undercurrents of connection to the Fast Eddie character in 'The Hustler'...connections Newman made sure that Scorsese and screenwriter Richard Price (who also has a great and brief cameo in the film) laced throughout the script and that he also included in his performance. Newman won his first Academy Award for 'The Color of Money'. LINKS Keir Graff's author website. Fast Eddie Felson is back. A funny Marty Scorcese interview from 1986.

Did you know chess is one of the most popular and oldest games in the World? Lucas and Austin lead a discussion on how chess has made a huge comeback! “But as I recall, the chess boom kind of happened right after COVID started because everyone had to stay inside, and no one enjoyed life. And then they found that they could play chess for free online. And they're like, oh, I've been meaning to learn chess. And so they hop on, they'll start playing chess and it was, I remember Chess.com and lichess.org, that two of the bigger sites online for playing chess kind of heated up. And then The Queen's Gambit dropped and everyone and their dogs started playing chess. And so that's where you started seeing a lot of things like just random people playing chess. And then the chess streaming scene popped up quite a bit.”  -Austin Okray   But…we ask what is the Queens Gambit? The Queen's Gambit is a 2020 miniseries based on the 1983 novel of the same name by Walter Tevis. The title refers to the "Queen's Gambit", a chess opening. Beginning in the mid-1950s and proceeding into the 1960s, the story follows the life of Beth Harmon, a fictional chess prodigy on her rise to the top of the chess world while struggling with drug and alcohol dependency.   About Austin: Austin Okray is a data scientist in the Denver area who lived in Wyoming until recently. When not working or in the outdoors, he enjoys playing and studying the game of chess. His favorite openings are the English Opening and the Kan Sicilian.   About Lucas Fralick: Lucas is the Program Coordinator for Wyoming Humanities and lives in Gillette, WY. He is an avid reader, bird watcher, and enjoys a good game of chess. Lucas can often be seen playing chess in the wild at coffee shops and other public spaces, frequently using the London System.   About Brian Kuehl: Brian Kuehl lives in Sheridan, Wyoming with his wife, Michelle and their daughter Catie. Brian is Director of Government and Public Affairs for Pinion Global, an international agriculture business advisory firm. Brian serves as Vice Chairman of the Wyoming Chess Association (www.WyomingChess.com) and as Treasurer of the Sheridan Chess Association (www.SheridanChess.com) Fun Chess Facts: Chess is a required school subject in Armenia. The longest official game of chess took place in 1989 that went on for 20 hours and included 269 moves. In a single game of chess, there are 400 possible moves after each move played. It is possible to checkmate your opponent in just two moves. Chess is a proven way to improve memory function. About 70% of the adult population has played chess at some point in their lives, and about 605 million adults play chess regularly!   History of Chess: The game of chess is believed to have originated in India, where it was call Chaturange prior to the 6th century AD. The game became popular in India and then spread to Persia, and the Arabs. The Arabs coined the term “Shah Mat”, which translates to “the King is dead”. This is where the word “checkmate” came from. Archeologists have discovered ivory playing pieces and chess artifacts in Uzbekistan dating back to 760 AD – chess spread quickly and far! The game of chess reached Western Europe around the year 1000. Around 1475, changes were made to the game, and it evolved into its more current form. Also, around this time formal rules began to appear. https://premierchess.com/chess-culture/a-brief-history-of-chess https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/the_queens_gambit/s01 https://www.forbesindia.com/article/special/how-the-queens-gambit-sparked-a-chess-frenzy/65163/1 As always leave a review if you enjoyed these stories and follow us on Instagram or visit the webpage of the Wyoming Humanities!

The centrepiece of Pop Screen's Bowie month could only be one thing: David's first, extraordinary lead role, as the alien Thomas Jerome Newton in Nicolas Roeg's trippy science fiction masterpiece. For those unfamiliar with the film, Bowie plays an extraterrestrial sent to Earth to bring water back to his home planet, funding his return trip by patenting alien technology. But the world of high finance drags him off course, as do Earthly temptations like alcohol and weird sex. Lots of weird sex. In this week's episode of Pop Screen, Graham is joined once again by Rob from Directors Uncut to look at the many facets of this enigmatic film, and marvel at just how banjoed on cocaine Bowie was during this period of his life. There's also some talk about the recent TV series based on Walter Tevis's source novel, the unexpected actors - and one novelist - who might have taken Bowie's role, and Rip Torn's infamous appearance in Norman Mailer's Maidstone. If you don't want us to have to patent our alien technology in order to stay on the air, you can donate to our Patreon, where backers will receive exclusive episodes of Pop Screen, early access to Directors Uncut, Graham's twice-weekly Doctor Who reviews and much more.

This week, Shane Harris speaks to Jenny Lumet and Alex Kurtzman, who co-created the new Showtime series “The Man Who Fell to Earth.” It's about an alien, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, who comes to Earth in search of technology to help save his home planet, which has been ravaged by a changing climate. He seeks out a brilliant scientist, played by Naomie Harris, who has the knowledge to help build the planet-saving device. But she is struggling to care for a young daughter and an ill father on her own and can barely make ends meet. The show is based on the cult-classic film of the same name, which starred David Bowie, as well as a novel by Walter Tevis. The new telling is an allegory about climate change, and how humans have the potential to destroy worlds and to save them. It's also an exploration of the lives of refugees and immigrants. The alien is trying to assimilate and survive in a new world whose traditions he doesn't understand but whose fate is tied up with his own. And the scientist has been forced by circumstance to leave her old life behind and is struggling to understand where she fits in a different and hostile world. Jenny Lumet and Alex Kurtzman have been working together for years and have had long and distinguished careers of their own. Jenny wrote the screenplay for “Rachel Getting Married” and has executive produced several TV series. Alex has executive produced numerous science-fiction shows, including the Star Trek series “Discovery” and “Picard.” Shane talked to the filmmakers about their careers, the stories they are moved to tell, and their creative influences. Jenny also shared some great stories from her unusual childhood. She's the daughter of Sidney Lumet, one of the 20th century's most celebrated directors, and grew up in a house surrounded by talented and eccentric artists. Chatter is a production of Lawfare and Goat Rodeo. This episode was produced and edited by Cara Shillenn of Goat Rodeo, with engineering assistance from Isabelle Kerby-McGowan.

This week on The Treatment, Elvis welcomes back Alex Kurtzman, co-creator, along with Jenny Lumet, of the adaptation of “The Man Who Fell to Earth” on Showtime. Kurtzman directed the film “People Like Us” and is the co-writer of several films, including “Transformers” and “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.” “The Man Who Fell to Earth” is an adaptation of the 1976 film starring David Bowie, which was an adaptation of the Walter Tevis novel by the same name. Kurtzman tells the Treatment that while he had reservations about adapting the cult favorite, he believed he and Lumet could bring something new to the story. He says star Chiwetel Ejiofor was an ideal actor to collaborate with because of their similarly cerebral approaches to the text. And he says the pandemic afforded him the time to deepen the music choices in the series. 

We actually continue watching a non-JoJo anime this week: Devilman Crybaby! Episodes 4-6 are this ep's topics of discussion.

La poeta Ana Merino nos presenta su segunda incursión en la novela después de ganar el Premio Nadal. Se trata de Amigo (Ed. Destino), una historia que reivindica el poder de la amistad y la figura de Joaquín Amigo, miembro todavía bastante desconocido de la Generación del 27. Antes, leemos un fragmento de El museo de la rendición incondicional, de Dubravka Ugresic, novela sobre los exiliados de la Guerra de los Balcanes que la editorial Impedimenta recupera ahora y que nos parece alumbra el drama al que se siguen enfrentando los refugiados de nuestros días. En nuestro buzón de voz un oyente nos hace una doble recomendación: Un cadáver en el armario, de la reina del misterio Mary Higgins Clark y Cómo hablar para que los adolescentes le escuchen y cómo escuchar para que los adolescentes le hablen, (Ed. Omega) de Adele Faber y Elaine Mazlish Por su parte, Ignacio Elguero nos sugiere tres lecturas: La linterna de papel (Ed. Literatura Random House), disección que hace el británico Will Burns del comportamiento de la clase alta durante la pandemia; Guía de pasos perdidos (Ed. Páginas de Espuma), un conjunto de cuentos de Javier Vela protagonizado por personajes solitarios y excéntricos; y Sinsonte (Ed. Impedimenta), una distopía del estadounidense Walter Tevis. Javier Lostalé se adelanta a los estrenos de la cartelera hablándonos de Compartimento No 6 (Ed. Alianza), una historia de la finlandesa Rosa Liksom cuya adaptación al cine está a punto de estrenarse y que arroja luz sobre el carácter y la complicada historia de Rusia. Para terminar, Mariano Peyrou mira la historia reciente de nuestro país a través de Ritual del laberinto (Ed. Bartleby), poemario en el que Julio Mas Alcaraz da voz a dos mujeres, nieta y abuela, que reflexionan sobre el peso de la Guerra Civil, el olvido y la memoria. Escuchar audio

En la que probablemente sea la elección de casting más ajustada de la historia, David Bowie interpretó a un extraterrestre desesperado y paranoico que intenta salvar a su gente llevándolos a nuestro planeta, en una adaptación de la novela clásica de Walter Tevis dirigida por Nicolas Roeg en su habitual estilo surreal. Toda una experiencia.

Originally a novel by Walter Tevis published in 1983, The Queen's Gambit tells the story of Beth Harmon, orphan, drug addict, and chess prodigy as she climbs to the top of the world rankings to face off against the toughest opponents of the Cold War: the Russians. Vinnk and Sean wonder how a TV show could not only make chess exciting and suspenseful, while barely explaining the rules, but also marvel at the weird synergy of Sean's own chess journey over the last two years. Starring: * Anya Taylor-Joy - Beth Harmon * Bill Camp - William Shaibel * Moses Ingram - Jolene * Marielle Heller - Alma Wheatley * Harry Melling - Harry Beltik * Thomas Brodie-Sangster - Benny Watts * Marcin Dorocinski - Vasily Borgov Available on Netflix.

Book Vs Movie: “The Man Who Fell to Earth” Our first Walter Tevis novel & the cult David Bowie Film Author Walter Tevis created some of the most interesting and unique protagonists in fiction including Beth Harmon in The Queen's Gambit and Eddie Felson in The Hustler. His Jerome Newton of The Man Who Fell to Earth is a humanoid alien from The Altheans who appears to be human (with a drinking problem and large business ambitions) but has a hard time connecting to people on earth emotionally.  The 1963 SciFi novel by Tevis resembles closely his own life as he was a man who often felt alienated from his own life. He was born to immense wealth and later lived in poverty in Kentucky. He left his wife and children for another woman and had a drinking problem that lasts over two decades. All while achieving his goal to be a working writer who did not have to have a day job to support himself.  Newton leaves The Altheans to come to earth and make enough money to return home and save his family from death via lack of food & water. He makes a home in Kentucky uses his space technology to make millions in hopes of building a craft to escape this world.  In the meantime, a woman falls in love with him (he does not return her emotions) and he develops a friendship with a fellow drinker--Nathan Bryce.  What happens to him when the FBI investigates his background is sad and tragic. This book is a bummer but the writing is beautiful.  Nicolas Roeg directed the 1976 movie which had a terrible release at the time (multiple film studio issues) but is now considered a cult classic taught in colleges around the world. David Bowie (who was at the Zenith of his fame) plays Newton and gives the best performance of his acting career.  In this episode, we get the behind-the-scenes trivia from the set, the differences made in the film, and how musician John Phillips wound up creating the soundtrack.  So between the book and the film--which did we prefer? Have a listen and find out!  In this ep the Margos discuss: The life story of Walter Tevis and how he inserted his own foibles and history into his main characters  The casting of David Bowie and what his career was like in the 1970s The soundtrack and whether or not Bowie's estate will release his supposed version  The behind-the-scenes gossip and trivia The cast: David Bowie (Thomas Jerome Newton,) Rip Torn (Nathan Bryce,) Candy Clark (Mary-Lou,) Buck Henry (Oliver Farnsworth,) and Bernie Casey (Peters.)  Clips used: Nathan and Thomas meet The Man Who Fell to Earth trailer  John Phillips music Mary-Lou is angry at “Tommy” Outro Music by Louis Armstrong Blueberry Hill Join our Patreon page to help support the show! https://www.patreon.com/bookversusmovie  Book Vs.

Come for the chess, stay for the styles. We talk about the flawless grace that is Anya Taylor-Joy and marvel at how we were obsessed with a story about chess. Chess. It was unexpected, to say the least. We also pick apart the Drama that is Beth's life, ogle her gorgeous dresses, speculate if there is going to be a next season, and commend author Walter Tevis for having the common sense that many authors seem to lack with their leading ladies. But, did we mention Beth's clothes?   Episode Drink: The Gibson   2 ½ oz. London dry gin ½ oz. dry vermouth 1 cocktail onion   Instructions Pack a mixing glass with ice. Add gin and vermouth.

With so many books that we've read lately mentioning chess AND all the Netflix hype, we were both drawn to The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis. Neither of us knew ANYTHING about this book besides those 2 facts - chess and Netflix. We hadn't seen the show and...well, will we keep it that way? Hmmm.

In many situations, we might find ourselves with a level of healthy stress - practicing yoga, in the gym, in our professional lives and even in our hobbies. The stress is good for us; it will help us grow. But if we only have stress, the growth can be more difficult than it needs to be. The stress is the yang, the masculine energy. When we find a yin, or feminine energy, that can aid the growth. The yin can be the “spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine go down”, so to speak. In yoga, we do a stretch and focus our breath and blood-flow into the tendons, relaxing as we are tensing. Or some of our muscles might be very tight in the moment, and the surrounding muscles are completely still. In a pool hall, we might take the same shot over and over, hundreds of times, just like Minnesota Fats in Walter Tevis's The Hustler. Our relaxed, welcoming attitude to the outcome provides a soft cushion for our successes and failures. There, we find comfort in the uncomfortable.

Today we're going to talk about two excellent shows currently showing on Netflix, one everyone is talking about and the other not so much: The Queens Gambit and The Barrier.We hope by the time you listen to this, our great national nightmare is over, but for now, check our webpage for a sample of what went on here on Sunday, 11/01/2020.  Margot and Kenny had their first Halloween! Margot as a Unicorn! Kenny as Sweet Pea! See pix on our website!We have a new Facebook group! On a whim, Elaine decided to create a Facebook group for this podcast. Within an hour, we had 50 very active users and growing fast! Thank you to everyone who joined and supports our show! If you want to get in on the fun, here's a link:Travis and Elaine Chat GroupCan't wait to see you there. Lots of people in our group were talking about The Queen's Gambit on Netflix. We'd already watched the pilot on Friday night; we binged the rest on Saturday but saved the finale for Sunday. It took  27 years to finally get Walter Tevis' 1983 novel to the screen. Originally intended to be a feature film, Heath Ledger was attached to direct in 2008, and Ellen Page was courted to star. We get into the long strange trip to Netflix, plus the exceptional cast. Currently, The Queen's Gambit is the #1 series on Netflix. Maybe, it was worth the wait.If you're interested in the novel,  we have links on our website.The Outstanding CastLed by a star-making performance by Anya Taylor-Joy is a uniquely quiet tale of isolation, genius, and how one girl navigates the world. With the exception of the episodes where her character Beth Harmon is a kid, Taylor-Joy is essentially in every scene. We knew her from The Witch but didn't even recognize her as Casey Cooke from Split and Glass the two movies that followed one of Elaine's favorite movies. Unbreakable.  See pix on our webpageThe supporting cast is solid. Standouts were Bill Camp, Marielle Heller and Thomas Brodie-Sangster. More about them in the episode.For more about the fashion and music in the Queen's Gambit check our webpageThe Barrier  The Barrier - La valla (original title) is a Spanish series currently airing. one episode a week on Netflix. Luckily, if you haven't started watching yet, half the episodes are already up for binging.  Unbelievably, this series was created and filmed before the pandemic because the parallels are stunning. Yeah, it's another near-future dystopian drama, but it's better and more realistic than most. The cast, although mostly unknown to American viewers includes the remarkable real-life mother and daughter, Olivia Molina and Ángela Molina.Hang in there, everybody. Cya on Facebook! Travis and Elaine Chat Group

Anya Taylor-Joy's performance is the high point of Netflix's surprisingly engaging (but often overwrought) chess drama The Queen's Gambit, a limited series based on the Walter Tevis novel.
