With special guest Longinus the boys review a Troegs Graffiti Highway Mosaic IPA and take a deep dive into Jack Kerouac's On the Road, one of the defining novels of the Beat Generation.We talk through the plot, the major characters like Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty, and the larger ideas behind Kerouac's world: freedom, authenticity, rebellion, conformity, jazz, the open road, and the moral chaos that often comes with living for pure experience. Along the way, we explore the relationship between the Beat movement and the later hippie movement, Kerouac's writing style, the role of bebop jazz, the rise of the American highway culture, and whether On the Road is really a novel, a travelogue, or something in between.If you've ever wondered why On the Road became such an important American book—or what the Beat Generation was actually searching for—this conversation is for you.In this episode:* Troegs Graffiti Highway single-hop Mosaic IPA review* A summary and discussion of Jack Kerouac's On the Road* Who Dean Moriarty was and why he matters* The meaning of the Beat Generation* Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and the Beat ethos* Freedom, spontaneity, authenticity, and the rejection of conformity* The connection between Beat culture, hippies, Ken Kesey, and the Merry Pranksters* Jazz, highways, postwar America, and the romance of the road* Why On the Road is both exhilarating and morally unsettlingIf you enjoy conversations about books, literature, culture, philosophy, religion, history, and beer, subscribe and join us for more episodes of Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill.#JackKerouac #OnTheRoad #BeatGeneration #BeerAndConversation #BookDiscussion #AmericanLiterature #Beatniks #AllenGinsberg #WilliamSBurroughs #KenKesey #LiteraryPodcast #BookTube #ClassicLiterature #PigweedAndCrowhill

Letterboxd head of editorial Mitchell Beaupre returns to us this week to close out Pride month with one of Luca Guadagnino's most divisive films. In 2024, with audiences still under the spell of Challengers, the director also brought to the screen a long-gestating passion project: an adaptation of William S. Burroughs' Queer.

New York City, summer of 1977. A city on the edge. Crime is soaring, the Son of Sam is terrorizing the streets, and a massive blackout has pushed Gotham into chaos.In the middle of it all, a young poet in the downtown scene is found dead in his East Village apartment—ruled an accidental overdose. Case closed… or so it seems.But when suspicions of murder begin to surface, an unlikely investigator emerges from the heart of the CBGB scene. What follows is a deep dive into a shadowy world where punk rock, art, fashion, and crime collide—pulling in some of the most iconic names of the era, from Lou Reed and Patti Smith to William S. Burroughs and Andy Warhol's inner circle.At the center of it all: a chilling conspiracy that could explode on the opening night of a brand-new CBGB venue.This episode explores The CBGB Conspiracy, a gripping story that blends real history with fiction—set against one of the most volatile and creatively explosive moments in New York City history.Featuring an interview with Gabriel Rotello, author of The CBGB Conspiracy, who takes us inside the story, the research, and the real-life figures that shaped this unforgettable world.Listen now and step into the chaos of 1977—where the music was loud, the city was crumbling, and nothing was as it seemed.Purchase a copy of The CBGB ConspiracyVisit Gabriel Rotello's website----------

When was the last time you pushed yourself to do something that made you uncomfortable at work - whether volunteering to learn a task outside of your usual job duties, offering to take on a new project, or making friends with another employee? Moving outside of your comfort zone may feel awkward or stressful at first, but it is also the best way to grow! And in order to become a mature person – personally, professionally, and spiritually – we absolutely MUST grow! William S. Burroughs once said, "When you stop growing, you start dying." So, ask yourself, is your work ethic alive and growing? How about your family life? How about your spiritual life? This week, challenge yourself to find one thing that you can do to push yourself outside of your comfort zone and into your growth zone!

It's New York's hellacious summer of '77. Rampant crime, a city-wide blackout and the Son of Sam murders have knocked Gotham on its ass. When Lucien Lowe, a young poet on the downtown scene, is found dead in his East Village tenement with a heroin needle in his arm, overworked cops rule it an accidental overdose. But Ike's wealthy girlfriend Julie Baroda suspects murder and urges Ike's best friend, the artist and punk rock fashion designer Finn Burdon, to investigate.Despite Finn's own issues with heroin, he shows an uncanny talent for detective work. As Julie, Finn and police detective Benny Cherin dig deeper, their investigation ultimately encompasses some of the most famous names of 1970s New York, including William S. Burroughs, Jean-Michel Basquiat, CBGB owner Hilly Kristal, Allen Ginsberg, Lou Reed, Truman Capote, Roy Cohn, Fat Tony Salerno, Holly Woodlawn, Steve Rubell, Andrew Crispo, Bella Abzug, Leonard Cohen and many others. In the process, they begin to glimpse the outlines of a violent plot to sabotage the opening night of Hilly Kristal's highly anticipated new venue, The CBGB 2nd Avenue Theater, when Patti Smith is playing and it's packed with thousands.Set during the glory days of New York's downtown music, art, literary and fashion scenes, The CBGB Conspiracy mixes fiction with a host of real events and historical figures. Behind them all looms a character just as visceral and ultimately doomed: the crumbling New York of 1977.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio. Hosted on Acast.

David Cronenberg's Naked Lunch is not an adaptation: it's a psychological autopsy. In this episode of Four Play, we dive deep into one of the most challenging films ever released by a major director: Cronenberg's surreal, disturbing, and deeply personal interpretation of William S. Burroughs' life and work. Rather than translating Burroughs' famously “unfilmable” novel to the screen, Naked Lunch fuses biography, addiction, sexuality, guilt, and creativity into a dream-logic nightmare that feels closer to a hallucination than a movie. Control Body Odor ANYWHERE with Mando and get 20% off + free shipping with promo code FOURPLAY at https://shopmando.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Clare Binns talks to filmmaker Ira Sachs about his new film Peter Hujar's Day live on stage at the Duke's at Komedia cinema in Brighton.  Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall star in the stunning new film from Ira Sachs, a richly cinematic rendering of the meeting of acclaimed photographer Peter Hujar and writer and artist Linda Rosenkrantz. Recorded in 1974, Hujar describes the routines and rituals that define an artist's life, capturing a single day's activities in touching and funny detail: from interactions with cultural icons of the day, including Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs and Susan Sontag, to the texture and energy of downtown New York in its heyday. Both elegant and intimate — and a dazzling showcase for the two performers at its centre — PETER HUJAR'S DAY is both a masterful portrait of a time and place and a captivating film about the way art emerges from the intimate details of everyday life.  Subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

Patti Smith gilt als Patin des Punk. Ein ehrenvoller Titel, aber sie ist sogar noch viel mehr als das. Ihre Songs sind episch, die Stimmung mystisch, ihre Texte inspiriert von französischen Lyrikern des 19. Jahrhunderts. Aber ihre Einstellung war eben Punk – z.B. aus der Kleinstadt nach New York zu gehen und „es“ einfach zu machen. Dabei schien die große Zeit von New York da eigentlich gerade vorbei. In den 50ern hatten erst die Beat-Poeten Allen Ginsberg und William S. Burroughs das Village besiedelt, in den 60ern dann Folkmusiker Bob Dylan. Als Patti Smith Ende der 60er, Anfang der 70er nach Manhattan kam, atmete sie den Geist dieser Ären ein und machte daraus etwas Neues, Eigenes. Sie vermischte Blues und Rock, Lyrik und den Freigeist des Jazz mit ihrer eigenen androgynen Aufmüpfigkeit. „Jesus died for somebody else's sins but not mine“ – was für ein Orkan von einer Aussage auf dem Feld des gottesfürchtigen Amerika, mit dem sie ihr Debüt-Album „Horses“ eröffnete, das dieser Tage 50 Jahre alt wird. Auch in diesem Monat erschienen sind ihre neusten, bisher umfassendsten Memoiren „Bread of Angels“. Patti Smith erinnert sich darin an ihre ärmliche, aber schöne Kindheit in Philadelphia, ihre New Yorker Zeit, ihr Leben als Mutter und Ehefrau von Fred „Sonic“ Smith, ihre tragischen Verluste und den Weg zurück auf die Bühne. Über all das sprechen Musikerin und Musikjournalisten-Kollegin Negisa Blumenstein und Stereo.Typ Marc Mühlenbrock in Episode #113PattiSmith. Die Patin selbst kommt auch in Interview-Ausschnitten zu Wort.

Gus Van Sant's 2nd feature, starring Matt Dillon, Kelly Lynch, James Le Gros, Heather Graham, William S. Burroughs, James Remar, and Max Perlich.  

Get your handkerchiefs out and wipe the sweat off your brow, we're back with another dose of that sweet, sweaty, GoodTrash. This week, we are discussing the second film Luca Guadagnino released in 2024, Queer. The Daniel Craig-led romantic drama travelogue is inspired by William S. Burroughs work. We explore art and artist, William Tell, Daniel Craig, and much, much more as we attempt to unpack this surreal experience. Join us as we analyze Queer. 

In this week's show, John teams up once again with his friend Matt Peters to discuss the second book of William S. Burroughs's original quartet of novels. They also discuss the recent film adapation of the same.

For fans of the compelling critical and investigative style of best-selling authors Graham Hancock and Brian Muraresku, the first detailed account of the history and science of the world's strangest and most mysterious drug - DMT.DMT is the world's strangest and most mysterious drug, inducing one of the most remarkable and yet least understood of all states of consciousness. This common plant molecule has, from ancient times to the modern day, been used as a tool to gain access to a bizarre alien reality of inordinate complexity and unimaginable strangeness, populated by a panoply of highly advanced, intelligent, and communicative beings entirely not of this world.In a story that begins in the Amazonian rainforests and ends somewhere beyond the stars, Andrew Gallimore presents the first detailed account of the discovery of DMT and science's continuing struggle to explain how such a simple and common plant molecule can have such astonishing effects on the human mind. The history of the drug involves many fascinating characters from the scientific and literary worlds ― including legendary ethnobotanist Dr. Richard Schultes; renegade beat writer and drug aficionado William S. Burroughs; philosopher and raconteur Terence McKenna; and the high priest of the 1960s psychedelic revolution, Dr. Timothy Leary. In the end, the story of DMT forces us to reconsider our most basic assumptions about the nature of reality and our place within it.ANDREW R. GALLIMORE is a chemical pharmacologist, neurobiologist, and writer, and one of the world's leading experts on psychedelics. He is the author of two books on the science of psychedelics, Alien Information Theory: Psychedelic Drug Technologies and the Cosmic Game and Reality Switch Technologies: Psychedelics as Tools for the Discovery and Exploration of New Worlds. He lives and works in Tokyo.GRAHAM HANCOCK is the author of major international non-fiction bestsellers including The Sign and the Seal and Fingerprints of the Gods. His books have sold more than seven million copies worldwide and have been translated into thirty languages. His public lectures, radio and TV appearances, including the TV series Quest For The Lost Civilization and Flooded Kingdoms of the Ice Age, as well as his strong presence on the internet, have put his ideas before audiences of tens of millions. He resides in the UK.www.buildingalienworlds.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Welcome to Rendering Unconscious – the Gradiva award-winning podcast about psychoanalysis & culture, with me, Dr Vanessa Sinclair. https://renderingunconscious.substack.com RU354: KARIN VALIS ON AI & PSYCHOANALYSIS https://renderingunconscious.substack.com/p/ru354-karin-valis-on-ai-and-psychoanalysis Rendering Unconscious episode 354. On this episode of Rendering Unconscious, I sat down with Karin Valis to talk about AI, psychoanalysis, cut-ups and magic. This is how AI summarizes our conversation (with some minor edits): Karin Valis, a machine learning engineer based in Berlin, discusses the intersection of AI and psychoanalysis, highlighting the dangers of AI therapists exacerbating mental health issues. She notes the rise of AI psychosis on Reddit, where AI's helpful programming can deepen users' delusions. Karin also explores AI's role in reflecting and influencing the unconscious, comparing it to a language virus a la William S. Burroughs. Karin plans to publish a book on AI's impact, focusing on female/femme perspectives, and is developing an AI journaling tool to aid personal growth and self-reflection.

I want to podcast with you. Without speaking. On this episode of Deep Cut Upkeep we step into 1950s Mexico City and dive into the lush world of Luca Guadagnino's Queer. Wilson expands more on his love for the film and why it topped his 2024 film list. Eli talks about the narrative constraints of this (bio)pic about William S. Burroughs. Ben draws links between Queer and Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. Together, we talk about performance, Guadagnino's eye for style, debate that Ayahuasca sequence, and end the episode with a quick round of Luca Guadagnino power rankings. Links:Natalie's letterboxd review of QueerNYFF panel of Queer Take a TRIP to our free patreon, discord server, and our socials @ www.deepcutpod.comTimestamps:00:00 Intro02:50 General reactions08:26 Spoiler warning09:31 Production context12:50 Narrative structure16:30 Craig's performance as Lee19:12 Blocking and eyelines21:03 First meeting between Lee and Allerton25:09 Act 227:35 Yagé29:28 The relationship36:40 Comparison with In The Mood for Love40:32 The trip47:15 The ending50:55 Comparison to other Guadagnino58:33 Outro

    THE QUEER AWAKENINGS OF A WILD BOY PURSUING THE NOVA EXPRESSOn September 6, 1951, William Burroughs killed his wife, Beat legend Joan Vollmer. At a friend's apartment, she balanced a glass on her head, at Burroughs's behest. He had contracted a lifelong mania for guns from duck-hunting excursions with his father, and was never unarmed if he could help it. He fired a pistol from about nine feet away. The bullet struck Vollmer in the forehead, at the hairline. She was twenty-eight. He was devastated, but readily parroted a story supplied by his lawyer, a flamboyant character named Bernabé Jurado: the gun went off accidentally. Released on bail, Burroughs might have faced trial had not Jurado, in a fit of road rage, shot a socially prominent young man and, when his victim died of septicemia, fled the country. Burroughs did the same, and a Mexican court convicted him in absentia of manslaughter, sentencing him to two years. In the introduction to “Queer,” Burroughs disparages his earlier work and adds, “I am forced to the appalling conclusion that I would never have become a writer but for Joan's death,” because it initiated a spiritual “lifelong struggle, in which I have had no choice except to write my way out.”“There is no intensity of love or feeling that does not involve the risk of crippling hurt. It is a duty to take this risk, to love and feel without defense or reserve.”― William S. Burroughs“Silence is only frightening to people who are compulsively verbalizing.”― William S. Burroughs, The Job: Interviews with William S. Burroughs“Nobody owns life, but anyone who can pick up a frying pan owns death.”― William S. Burroughs“Hustlers of the world, there is one mark you cannot beat: the mark inside.”― William S. Burroughs“Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape. ”― William S. Burroughs“I don't care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it.”― William S. Burroughs“A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on. A psychotic is a guy who's just found out what's going on.”― William S. Burroughs“Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer.”― William S. Burroughs“Whether you sniff it smoke it eat it or shove it up your ass the result is the same: addiction.”― william s. burroughs“You were not there for the beginning. You will not be there for the end. Your knowledge of what is going on can only be superficial and relative”― William S. Burroughs, Naked Lunch: The Restored Text“The first and most important thing an individual can do is to become an individual again, decontrol himself, train himself as to what is going on and win back as much independent ground for himself as possible”― William S. Burroughs“If I had my way we'd sleep every night all wrapped around each other like hibernating rattlesnakes.”― William S. Burroughs“I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don't care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.”― William S. Burroughs“When you stop growing you start dying.”― William S. Burroughs, Junky

This episode is a recording of the inaugural meeting of the Kerouac Project of Orlando's Book Club. Matt Peters and I discuss William S. Burroughs's debut novel, Junky, and its place in the first quartet of his transformative works. The setting for this conversation is the place where Jack Kerouac lived when On the Road came out, where he lived when writing the first draft of The Dharma Bums.

GGACP's celebration of National Couples Appreciation Month continues with a revisit of this conclusion of a 2-part interview with veteran screen performers Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss.

William S. Burroughs was a literary icon whose novel Naked Lunch, one of the signature works of the Beat Generation, was banned and went on trial for obscenity. His writing inspired generations of musicians, from the Rolling Stones and Patti Smith to Nirvana and Sonic Youth. But long before all that, in 1951, when he was an unknown and mostly failed writer, William S. Burroughs made the most fateful decision of his life when he pointed a gun at a highball glass balanced on top of his wife's head…and pulled the trigger.

John welcomes playwright, novelist and screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes to discuss having his first two movies — Challengers and Queer — produced a single year. After charting his journey from playwright to screenwriter, we compare two drafts of Challengers to look at how the story changed during a hasty development, including crafting that iconic three-way. We also explore adapting William S. Burroughs' novel Queer, and the film's approach to showing sex on screen. In our bonus segment for premium members, Justin looks back on his time as a viral YouTube potion seller, and the value of that creative outlet early in his career.

Filmmaker Luca Guadagnino is attracted to the ways in which we're all imperfect beings. That explains why a clash of personalities is central to so many of his movies, including A Bigger Splash, Suspiria and Challengers. Marc and Luca talk about those films as well as his new one, Queer, which is based on source material by someone who remains a fascination to both of them: William S. Burroughs. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In front of an audience at Chapman University, the British A-lister reflects on how his background in theater has helped him in film, his 15-year run as James Bond and playing, in Luca Guadagnino's new adaptation of William S. Burroughs' semi-autobiographical novella, a gay American living in 1950s Mexico City who is addicted to booze, drugs and sex. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
