This week, John Michael Heath from EAP Society joins Justin to reflect on the music of pianist, producer, and songwriter David Briggs, who first joined Elvis in the recording studio in 1966 and continued working through the rest of Elvis's career periodically in and out of sessions and live shows. David passed away this past week at the age of 82. The guys select some of their favorite tracks featuring David's work, and also remember Wink Martindale and Will Hutchins who both passed away as well. For Song of the Week, call it a belated Easter segment, with Justin selecting Elvis's versions of the country standard "There Goes My Everything" and its gospel counterpart "He Is My Everything" from the early 1970s. John then gives us a quick primer on how to interpret Elvis's approach to the melding white and black gospel traditions for the How Great Thou Art sessions before spotlighting the more direct influence of Jimmy Jones & The Sensationals on "So High." Justin then takes the baton and together the duo explore the earlier (and Biblical) roots of the song and a couple neat secularized R&B versions of the same song.

“The reason, Mr. Gashade, for the hunt is the kill.”A Low-Budget Western from the Corman-Hellman-Nicholson TrioAfter impressing producer Roger Corman with their previous work, director Monte Hellman and actor Jack Nicholson presented him with a spec script, but Corman had a different idea. He proposed that they make two Westerns instead, giving them three weeks to shoot each film. Hellman and Nicholson agreed, and the result was a pair of existential Westerns – The Shooting and Ride in the Whirlwind – shot in 1965 in Utah. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our 12-episode, 14th season-long Roger Corman series with a conversation about The Shooting, our second installment and member bonus episode.Unraveling the Mysteries of The ShootingIn this episode, we delve into the enigmatic world of The Shooting, discussing the film's unique narrative structure and the questions it raises. We explore the mysterious characters, their motivations, and the shocking revelation at the end. The story follows a former bounty hunter turned miner who is hired by a woman to track down an unknown individual. As they embark on their journey, they are pursued by a menacing gunslinger clad in black. Throughout our conversation, we examine how the film's minimalistic approach and existential themes set it apart from traditional Westerns of the era.The Corman Connection and the Film's Place in Cinema HistoryWe discuss how The Shooting fits into the larger context of Roger Corman's productions and its significance in the careers of Monte Hellman and Jack Nicholson. The film's low-budget, experimental nature aligns with Corman's reputation for producing cost-effective, boundary-pushing cinema. We also explore how The Shooting, along with its companion piece, Ride in the Whirlwind, served as a precursor to the independent, counterculture-influenced films of the late 1960s and early 1970s.A Divisive Film: Contrasting OpinionsWhile Andy enjoyed The Shooting, finding its fatalistic and existential themes compelling, Pete struggled to connect with the film. He found the experimental editing choices and the overall pacing to be challenging, making it a difficult watch for him. Despite their differing opinions, both hosts agree that the film's ambiguity and unconventional approach make it a unique entry in the Western genre.Other Topics Covered in the EpisodeThe film's status as one of the first "acid Westerns"The symbolic and metaphorical elements woven throughout the narrativeThe effective use of the stark Utah landscape to convey isolation and despairStandout (?) performances from the cast, including Will Hutchins and Millie PerkinsA Thought-Provoking and Unconventional WesternWhile Andy appreciated The Shooting's ambiguity and haunting atmosphere, Pete ultimately deemed it a "Casablanca movie," alluding to the exchange between Rick and Ugarte in the classic film: "You despise me, don't you?" "If I gave you any thought, I probably would." Despite their contrasting views, both hosts agree that the film remains a testament to Corman's passion for cranking out low budget films and giving experimenting filmmakers like Monte Hellman and Jack Nicholson the chance to play. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

With the imminent release of Baz Luhrmann's big screen biopic, It Happened One Year checked the 1967 release schedule and found not one, not two, but three big movies starring the King of Rock 'n' Roll, and figured it was high time to give them a watch. They aren't Elvis's best films, they aren't his best known films, but they are all, in their own odd ways, fascinating hunk-a hunks of entertainment - Double Trouble, Easy Come Easy Go, and Clambake! With such luminary co-stars as Elsa Lanchester, Bill Bixby, Michael Murphy, Pat Harrington, Pat Priest, Will Hutchins, and Shelley Fabares, these films are long on talent, very long on musical numbers, and murky on plot! Listen as Sarah & Joe recount their Elvis connections, detail the highlights of visiting Graceland in Memphis, rate the films on a scale of one-to-five hip gyrations, and spotlight the most ludicrous tacked-on song in each production.
Will Hutchins highlights how faith and preparation can go hand in hand. We need to have a planned and intentional life in order to take take those leaps of faith and vice-versa, have faith to be able to live in that way.

Amy is left to wander the desert until she dies trying to find the lost scenes from this movie that would help make it entertaining. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Warren Oates is one the great screen actors of all time. He's easily as good as Brando, De Niro or Daniel Day Lewis. In this episode of Film Detour he leads a disparate party through the Utah Desert. Captured spectacularly by cinematographer Gregory Sandor, masterfully directed by Monte Hellman, co-starring the nastiest Jack Nicholson this side of the Pecos, an equally surly Millie Perkins (and we thought she was so nice) and the very quirky Will Hutchins. So join us for Part II of director Monte Hellman's revisionist Western double feature, The Shooting. Make sure you pack a canteen full of water and your six gun. You're gonna need 'em.

Bronco was a Western series on ABC from 1958 through 1962. The program starred Ty Hardin as Bronco Layne, a former Confederate officer who wandered the Old West, meeting such famous people as Wild Bill Hickok, Billy the Kid, Jesse James, Theodore Roosevelt, Belle Starr and Cole Younger. Bronco was born when Warner Bros. executives and actor Clint Walker clashed over Walker's contract on the series Cheyenne. Walker had walked out on his show over such stringent clauses as a requirement that he kick back half of all personal appearance fees to Warner Bros., and that he only record for Warner music labels. When the two sides came to an impasse, the network hired newcomer Ty Hardin to play the new character of Bronco Layne, but kept the title of Cheyenne. When Walker came back to his series, Bronco Layne was spun off into his own show. Bronco at first alternated with another Western series, Sugarfoot, featuring Will Hutchins. In 1960, the two began alternating with Cheyenne under the Cheyenne title. Sugarfoot was dropped in 1961, leaving only Bronco and Cheyenne to alternate. Other Warner Bros. westerns in production around this time included Maverick with James Garner, Jack Kelly, and Roger Moore, Colt .45 with Wayde Preston, and Lawman with John Russell; series characters occasionally crossed over into each others' shows.
The New Car (11-17-48) and Alexander The Actor (2-16-50) The radio version of Blondie took to the air on CBS in the summer of 1939, also starring Singleton and Lake. Like the movies, it was more specific about Dagwood's office job and had him working for the J.C. Dithers Construction Company. The final broadcast was in 1950 and by that time Ann Rutherford was Blondie. For the first television version on NBC in 1957 Lake was once again Dagwood, but Pamela Briton portrayed Blondie. The show survived for only eight months and a 1968 attempt on CBS with Will Hutchins and Patricia Harty lasted for just four. Despite occasional rumors about a musical, the Bumsteads have thus far failed to trod the boards on Broadway.
