Podcast appearances and mentions of Whit Stillman

The Pudcast returns with co-hosts  Korey Maas (Lutheran), Miles Smith (Anglican), and D. G. Hart (Presbyterian) in the after glow of a very long holiday season -- that seems to get longer the older the observer becomes.  The recording starts with question of whether the five to six weeks between Thanksgiving and New Years -- when everyone seems to return to pandemic levels of output in the workplace -- is too long.  Included is attention to the particular aspects of holiday observance among Lutherans and Anglicans (with Lutherans getting lots of credit for using the phrase, "The Divine Service" most often).  Material that stimulated the discussion was Ross Douthat's speculation that secular liberalism has run out of steam and Eli Lake's report on the Jewish-Americans who wrote so many of the secular Christmas songs.  Listeners who have not seen Whit Stillman's movie, "Metropolitan" should do so asap even if it is no longer Christmas or Advent or Debutante Ball season.    Owing to the recent death of former POTUS, Jimmy Carter and Donald Trump's election victory, the co-hosts also speculated about the effects of past and future presidents on the religious vibe in the United States and elsewhere.  Bonus content: here is an introduction to Washington Irving's Old Christmas, a story that shaped American customs surrounding the holiday.

[Due to our last-minute addition of two episodes, the podcast feed mistakenly had S5E09a queued here for a few hours this morning - it should now be fixed!] How Would Lubitsch Do It comes to a close with a grand finale. Tim Brayton returns to discuss Cluny Brown and look back on both Ernst Lubitsch's career and the past five seasons of this show. First, we discuss everything Cluny Brown: the film's generosity and humanism, its commentary on British class society, its relationship with the second world war, its full-throated embrace of absurdism, the title character's magnetism, Adam Belinski's status as a revision on a stock villain, and the film's somewhat autobiographical and wonderfully optimistic ending. Second, we close out the show with a look back: we debate our respective rankings (Tim, Devan) of Lubitsch's filmography, highlight our favourite cast members, crew members and collaborators, discuss subsequent filmmakers who bear distinct marks of Lubitsch's influence, discuss whether or not the show's structure accurately reflects the ebbs and flows and our subject's career, and answer the key questions: why Lubitsch? Why a podcast? Edited by Griffin Sheel. A Thanks I started this quixotic project two years ago with the hope of making something that spoke to me and, if anyone else was interested, so be it.

Ten years ago, we did our first 20-years-ago flashback podcast about summer movies. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of these 20th anniversaries, we decided to circle back to 1994 and talk about ten movies that were very much not the ten highest grossers of that summer, including nascent superheroes, mad bombers, beloved and obscure indies, and a couple of natural born killers. Join us for another and even more eclectic trip down memory lane!

This week we are covering our second Whit Stillman movie, his first, Metropolitan. This movie is listed as a modern adaptation of Mansfield Park even though it really isn't. It does however talk about the novel and works with some of its themes, which leads to us having a lot to talk about. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mannersandmadness/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mannersandmadness/support

It's a Marshmallow Deucecast indeed as the Cheetah Girls finally make their annual appearance on the show!    It's the last stop before Christmas Day, with the 9th Annual Christmas Gift episode -- and the fourth Gifts ep in a row with Garrison "The Pride of Villa Rica" Ryfun joining up!  In this episode, the final 2023 Birthday Movies kicks the show off, with Aquaman turning 5, LOTR3 turning 20, Tombstone turning 30, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang turning a lot older than you'd think. After catching up with Mikey's and Garrison's 2023 movie numbers, it's another edition of Everything Everywhere All At Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, following the first ever round last summer.   Then the gifts -- Gal Gadot needs a break... WWE gets a multiverse... some films and filmmakers get better coverage... and the world gets more Whit Stillman... and much more. Finally, Mikey hands out tangible gift bags, while d$ and G-Ryfun hand out their own gifts, with a stop in the pretentious corner (sort of) and returning to the well for a few films. Stick around to the very end... it's a delight. 

This week I'm thrilled to be joined by Whit Stillman, the director of, among other features, The Last Days of Disco, Barcelona, and Love and Friendship. He's on the show today to discuss Metropolitan and the way it has been embraced as a classic Christmas movie, as well as the evolution of the indie film business over the last 40 years or so.  If you're in Rochester or the surrounding environs, make sure to pop over to the Dryden Theatre at the George Eastman Museum tonight for a special showing of Metropolitan with Mr. Stillman in attendance for a Q&A. If you enjoyed this chat, I strongly recommend picking up a copy of Fireflies Press's book, Whit Stillman: Not So Long Ago, as they are nearly sold out and will not be reprinted. (Yes, you can order it directly from the European publisher; I did and it arrived unharmed.) And if you've never seen Metropolitan, you really should! It's available via streaming on the Criterion Channel and Max (aka HBO Max), and it's also on sale for 30% off now (either individually or as part of the collection of his first three films). If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend!

Thank you to East Lansing, Michigan's own Taylor Nichols for coming on my show for an interview!

He talked about getting his start in acting in high school, moving to Los Angeles in 1992 to work with James Garner, and his first big role as Charlie Black in Whit Stillman's film Metropolitan. He got into reflecting on his career during the strike, wanting to film his own feature film, and working with Bruce Campbell. He also spoke about meeting Giannis Antetokounmpo while filming Rise, playing basketball with Magic Johnson, and his upcoming plans once the strike ends. Stay tuned!

We don't know whether to dance or weep on this edition of Overlapping Dialogue, which once again continues our journey through the 90s with a pairing that would leave even the hardiest party animal crying in the club: The Last Days of Disco and American History X. But before we put on our dancing shoes, we dig into a Blue Plate Special slate celebrating the lives of Terry Funk, Bray Wyatt, and Bob Barker; mull over the status of the ongoing Hollywood strikes; and offer up some thoughts on the latest chiller from Universal Studios, The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Upon surviving the Count's subpar attempts to subdue us, we tackle two striking portraits of American whiteness while considering their traditions within the yuppie coming-of-age story and the trial-by-fire political drama respectively.

In this episode, we herald the arrival of a new Lost Generation: shaggy-haired, slouchy-clothed, plagued by malaise and anachronistic sensitivity, and soundtracked by 80s British synth-pop. Armed with an impressive library of cultural references—the films of Whit Stillman and John Hughes, the novels of Donna Tartt and Bret Easton Ellis, the music of the Second British Invasion— we discuss the legacy of the Global North Bildungsroman and its adjacent timeless aesthetic. ‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❉・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵‿Links:Image board: https://pin.it/5mj7m0wAmerican Ivy by Articles of Interest: https://articlesofinterest.substack.com/p/american-ivy-chapter-1 Justin Murphy's "Caviar Cope": https://www.otherlife.co/signs91/NPR's Dark Academia and The Secret History special: https://www.npr.org/transcripts/1142788023"A New Wavelet of British Drab" in the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/style/1984/04/15/the-smiths-icicle-works-and-the-the-a-new-wavelet-of-british-drab/aa1dd244-2b4f-4967-8e4c-b87dddaf421d/Scarlet Foxes on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@scarlet.foxes?lang=enMusic in John Hughes Films in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/nov/10/the-power-of-music-in-john-hughes-films-when-you-hear-those-songs-you-see-those-moments

Andrew Hafitz is a veteran editor who has worked on some of the most unique films of all time. After graduating from Yale, and parleying a foray into copywriting, the New Jersey native gained experience in apprentice and assistant editor roles on several films, including Ang Lee's Sense and Sensibility. He edited multiple feature films prior to working on Whit Stillman's 1998 film Last Days of Disco (Chloe Sevigny; Kate Beckinsale; Matt Ross; Robert Sean Leonard), with whom he later collaborated with on Damsels in Distress in 2011 (Adam Brody; Greta Gerwig).

In our unsettled moment, there's a burst of interest in one of the United States' most consequential presidents: Franklin Roosevelt. In this episode of the Serve to Lead podcast, acclaimed presidential historian David Pietrusza discusses his highly readable and extensively researched new book, Roosevelt Sweeps Nation: FDR's 1936 Landslide and the Triumph of the Liberal Ideal. The Next Nationalism is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Critical Acclaim“A robust chronicle of Franklin Roosevelt's quest to stay in the White House. . . a brisk, spirited narrative, abundantly populated and bursting with anecdotes . . . A prodigiously researched and exuberantly told political biography/history.”—Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review )“Pietrusza . . . makes the most of his engrossing tale. . . .  a lively story that is rife with strong personalities and blood stirring incidents. . . . appealing.”– Library Journal“a sweeping yet minutely detailed chronicle of FDR's 1936 reelection campaign . . .an exhaustive and expert chronicle of a critical American election.”—Publishers Weekly“David Pietrusza's Roosevelt Sweeps Nation combines penetrating research with good illustrative anecdotes to bring the 1936 presidential election between FDR and Alf Landon into sharp focus. A marvelous and important history. Highly recommended!”—Douglas Brinkley, professor of history at Rice University, author of Rightful Heritage: Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Land of America.“David Pietrusza has done it again—another fascinating, easy-to-read book on a key moment in history. Franklin Roosevelt won a massive victory in 1936, cementing his New Deal permanently. Pietrusza brings FDR's era to life and shows us how it happened.”—Larry J. Sabato, Director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics“The 1936 election was not just another FDR victory, but an important turning point in the nation's history. The story David Pietrusza tells is riveting and the cast of characters is fascinating. Franklin Roosevelt was the most skillful American politician of the 20th century and this election was a decisive affirmation of his power and appeal.”—Ron Faucheux, political analyst “In the style and with the depth of research of David McCullough, David Pietrusza makes history come alive in his latest book ‘Roosevelt Sweeps Nation.' From religious characters like Father Divine and radio preacher Charles Coughlin, to political ones like Huey Long and Roosevelt himself, the book is a delightful and compelling read.”—Cal Thomas, Syndicated Columnist“Another great election year chronicle from [David Pietrusza] — such a colorful story & writing. Couldn't be juicier.”—Whit Stillman, Director and Academy Award Nominated Screenwriter “David Pietrusza is my favorite historian, and Roosevelt Sweeps Nation is Pietrusza at his best. Nobody can tell a better story than Pietrusza, who always shows you there's more to the story than you thought—that there is juicy stuff hidden in our history that nobody has bothered to suss out or that has long been forgotten. This is another page-turner you won't want to put down. At a time when Americans can use a reprieve from today's news, Roosevelt Sweeps Nation is just what the doctor ordered. And David Pietrusza is a national treasure.”—Matt Lewis, Senior Columnist, The Daily Beast “Roosevelt crafted an election strategy so strong that it has defined national campaigns of both parties ever since. Now historian David Pietrusza brings the stunning 1936 Roosevelt Sweep to life, with timely lessons for our current  challenges.”—Amity Shlaes, Author, Great Society.“all of [Pietrusza's] books are brilliant, but this is just phenomenal.”—John Rothmann, KGO Radio (San Francisco)About the AuthorAward-winning historian David Pietrusza has been called “a national treasure” and “the undisputed champion of chronicling American Presidential campaigns.” His books include studies of the 1920, 1932, 1936, 1948, and 1960 presidential elections and biographies of Theodore Roosevelt (Independent Publisher Book Awards Silver Medal, US History), gambler Arnold Rothstein (Edgar Award finalist) and Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis (Casey Award winner). Pietrusza has appeared on NPR, C-SPAN, MSNBC, The Voice of America, The History Channel, AMC, and ESPN.

These drawing techniques and experiments were done while I worked as artist-in-residence and most notably, when I taught at the progressive independent Paideia School in Atlanta, GA. At that time I worked with my first New York City based art/literary agent, Whit Stillman, who was writing and shooting his first Academy Award nominated film Metropolitan (Last Days of Disco, Barcelona, Damsels in Distress and recently, Love and Friendship).“After many years of writing and illustrating children's books, and illustrating for other authors such as Pulitzer Prize winning author Jane Smiley and author of WICKED, Gregory Maguire, April Halprin Wayland and others, I began a new focus. I started creating spiritually themed books on intuitive intelligence, empathic and creative self expression.I developed a non-threatening and relaxing meditation style of drawing based on all those years of conducting workshops with children, a drawing technique I call stream drawing or intuitive stream drawing (see MAKING MARKS book). I have practiced intuitive stream drawing sessions for clients seeking guidance at my studio in Westport, CT and in NYC at Fitness Results (formerly at 137 5th Avenue in NYC directly behind the iconic Flat Iron Building) for many years, also conducting workshops on this method in person, small and large groups and via internet.”My name is Elaine Clayton. I am an artist, author and illustrator of books for children and adults, parent, and former teacher and certified Reiki Master and intuitive reader. For years I've done Intuitive/Psychic Readings for family, friends, and others who wanted a reading. Over those years, the more art and books and teaching and readings I did, the more I understood that I am entirely devoted to the healing arts. All my art is about reaching points of illumination, and as I've evolved, I've found that at my core, healing myself and others is my passion.This website is dedicated to the healing arts, by way of Sketchbook Dream Journal/blog, Reiki, and Intuitive sessions. I invite you to playfully explore and enjoy along with me the signs and messages, the images and mysteries of life that are unveiled to us daily. Through art and dream journaling, we'll explore inspiration, imagination and spirituality, intuition and mysticism.I am dedicated to supporting clients in visualizing and creating what you dream of having and learning in this life—we'll orient ourselves by going inward where our inner knowing and miraculous creative powers are waiting to be discovered and celebrated.I

In this episode Luke and Logan discuss Metropolitan, Barcelona and The Last Days of Disco. There are spoilers but these are not really spoilery movies.

Honestly, it's hard to remember that Whit Stillman's ode to the yuppies who killed disco is a period piece. One because there's very little in the main characters that feel of the time period the movie is set in, but also because the moneyed class gentrifying neighborhoods and cultural movements out of existence is a perennial problem.

We're really back, for real this time! Allen Strickland Williams (CONAN) joins us to talk Whit Stillman, the purity of the club, and Chloe Chloe Chloe. Please get a crush on Chloe Sevigny right before the indie sleaze revival comes in full force. It'll treat you right. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This podcast was originally posted on June 14, 2016 A conversation with director, screenwriter and author Whit Stillman, whose latest work, Love & Friendship, is both a film and book. Hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Early in his career, after directing such films as Metropolitan, Barcelona and The Last Days of Disco, Whit Stillman was called “the WASP Woody Allen.”  Then he hit what he calls “director's prison,” and it took him well over a decade before he returned to directing with Damsels in Distress. His latest film, Love & Friendship, is based on an early Jane Austen novella, and not only has been getting the best reviews of his career, but has become an arthouse hit. At the same time as the film was released, his novelization was also published. The book contains not only his work, but the original Jane Austen story. Love and Friendship is based on the Jane Austen story, Lady Susan, and features a heroine who seems far more contemporary than most characters of the same era. It's why Whit Stillman was drawn to the story. That it was in the public domain obviously helped, as Stillman points out. The result is a witty film that forces the audience to think. The book takes the screenplay and reimagines it as a defense of Lady Susan written by her nephew several years after the events take place. In this wide-ranging interview recorded on June 9, 2016, Whit Stillman discusses the book, the film, Jane Austen, and his career as a director. Love and Friendship is streaming with an Amazon Prime subscription. IMDb lists no new Whit Stillman film to date.     The post Whit Stilllman: “Love and Friendship,” 2016 appeared first on KPFA.

Post-college graduation quarter-life crisis intellectual chatty comedies were at their height in the mid-1990s with directors like Noah Baumbach and Whit Stillman pioneering the genre. Another genre was simultaneously emerging– the “angst generation” life-after-punk rock films that chronicled 20-somethings disillusioned with their futures. Glory Daze is a 1996 film that attempts to combine both movements, and fails horrendously. A talented cast (along with some stragglers) led Ben Affleck, the film follows a group of graduating party boys in their adventures in sex, booze, and becoming slackers. Featuring a great soundtrack (with a few terrible songs about poop), the film succeeds in bringing up serious issues but the writing lacks the depth to bring any of those issues into focus. The hosts discuss toxic masculinity, Sam Rockwell, and the angst generation.    If you can't find the film at your local video store (support physical media!), its available to stream through Hoopla with your library card.    Follow The Shiterion Collection!    Instagram: @ShiterionCollection    Twitter: @Shiterion_Pod    Facebook: facebook.com/theshiterioncollection    Email us theshiterioncollection@gmail.com.    You can find Kate Santos online @ocleoo on Insta and @funny_cat_gifs on Twitter.   Stevie Anderson is rolling as @spaghetti_witch on IG and @spaghetti_witch on Twitter.
