In a wide-ranging interview, Sofia Coppola tells host Rico Gagliano all about the making of her new Priscilla Presley biopic—from the Kubrick flick that inspired her opening sequence...to picking the soundtrack full of pop tunes by just about everyone except Elvis.

It's a follow-up to last week's career-spanning look at the themes threaded through Coppola's films and fashions—and a fitting end to our season.

Season 5, titled Tailor Made, dives deep into the worlds of film and fashion. Each episode tackles a landmark movie that captured a major fashion look of an era, and then decodes what that look meant—to the culture that spawned it, the people who wore it, and the audiences who watched it on screen.

Sofia Coppola's PRISCILLA will stream exclusively on MUBI in the UK, Germany, Turkey, India  and Latin America starting March 1. It is also currently in cinemas in many countries. For tickets and showtimes, visit mubi.com/priscilla

Since May 2020, the instance of orcas ramming boats, biting off bits of vessels, sinking yachts, has off the coast of Portugal and Spain in the Gibraltar Strait has gone from a handful of encounters to 100s. In this episode, Sarah DeWeerdt explains what might be happening and reflects on the tragic death of the captive orca known many as Lolita. 

Sarah DeWeerdt is a freelance science journalist in Seattle covering biology, medicine and the environment. She is working on a book of essays about the family history of the southern resident orcas of the Salish Sea.

The conversation: 

• Overview.
  • The number of orcas in the gibraltar strait in Portugal and Spain has gone from a handful of incidents to getting into the hundreds.
  • About 20% of these orca boat interactions have resulted in enough damage to the boats that they couldn't get back to port on their own.
  • A total of five boats have sunk as the results of these interactions, but there have been no human fatalities.
• The media’s perception of orcas as rebels.
  • There has been an increase in interactions between orcas and boats over the years. The media attention is making people aware of the phenomenon.
  • The role that orcas play in society.
  • Scientists are calling orcas gladiators. The idea that orcas are doing this to punish and target the rich is often tongue in cheek.
  • The southern resident killer whale population of orcas in the waters around Seattle and British Columbia is the most talked about.
  • Scientists have identified three threats to the iberian orcas at the moment, lack of food, toxins and vessel noise.
  • Females are thought to be able to live for potentially as long as 100 years, while males tend to live shorter than 50 to 60 years.
• How did the orcas react to the quieter ocean?
  • It is feasible that there are workers who remember when the ocean was quieter and there was less human activity.
  • In the north sea, there hasn't been a healthy calf in over a decade.
  • Is there any evidence to back up the idea that the COVID-19 lockdown was a good thing for the orcas?
  • There was an increase in boats around the southern residents during lockdown.
• Are the orcas playing with the boats?
  • There is no evidence that their interactions could just be them playing with the boats, but scientists suspect that it might be play.
  • One of the orcas, gladys nigra, has been injured.
  • There has been a lot of whale news this summer and throughout the year. Here are a few examples of whale stories that have been in the media.
  • There has also been a sea otter in Santa Cruz who was labelled as a menace.
• How do we frame the orca uprising?
  • The idea of an orca uprising is often couched in positive terms. It is a different culture, especially as a positive thing, is a really different narrative for western culture.
  • Orca scientists are becoming increasingly concerned about the media framing of the narrative and the way that it has been presented.
  • The boat was recorded to have been shooting something at the orcas, which is evidence that they are sentient.
  • Orcas are highly social creatures. They are also very tactile, constantly in touch with members of their families, and they have very sensitive skin.
• The story of the orca known as Lolita
  • Toki, the southern resident killer whale, passed away recently in her tank in Miami, after 53 years in captivity.
  • Toki was captured in 1970 in penn cove, seattle.
  • Toki was named after the nabokov novel. She performed with hugo for 10 years and never had a calf.
  • Toki is the oldest southern resident killer whale at the moment, 95 years old.
• Retirement and release to a sea pen.
  • Toki was finally retired from doing shows in 2022, and then the Sea Aquarium announced an agreement with a nonprofit called friends of toki.
  • A strange phenomenon happened in the time leading up to her death.
  • These gatherings would have been more common in the past as the salmon populations chinook salmon population that the southern residents rely on has declined.
  • Very few of the southern resident killer whale population were alive at the time of the capture of her mother.
  • Sarah wants to hold open a space for the unexplainable. She wants to take her rage and grief and use it to end cetacean captivity and ensure the continued survival of the southern resident killer whale population.
  • Sarah shares her thoughts on the death of her mother.

In this episode, we hear Nabokov read from a variety of his works, including Lolita, Pale Fire, The Ballad of Longwood Glen, and other poems and translations. Nabokov holds forth on a variety of subjects including his own personal beliefs and habits. One small thing we learn is that Nabokov had a unique way of saying “tiaras” in English. The man faces many questions about Lolita, starting with “Why?”

Deniz Yüce Başarır, Ben Okurum’un yeni bölümünde yazar Şebnem İşigüzel’i konuk ediyor. Dünya edebiyatının en önemli ve en tartışmalı romanlarından biri olan Lolita hakkındaki sohbette elbette eseri yaratan Rus asıllı Amerikalı yazar Vladimir Nabokov’un hayatı, edebiyat anlayışı ve diğer eserleri de yer buluyor. Romanın sınırlarını aşan, bir popüler kültür ikonu haline gelen Lolita karakteri kadar hatta belki de daha çok, sapkın tutkusuyla hatırlanan anlatıcımız Humbert Humbert’ın da irdelendiği bu sohbeti ve Başarır’ın sesinden Nabokov’un edebi lezzeti çok yüksek cümlelerini kaçırmayın deriz. 

Right now, in Jamie Loftus’s childhood home in Brockton, Mass., there are dozens, maybe hundreds of notebooks in storage boxes. They’re from second grade up through middle school and each of the notebooks is filled, cover to cover, with detailed descriptions of where she was and what was happening: who was there, what were they wearing, what was on the walls. The descriptions are all written in a shorthand Jamie developed and that no one else could read. At the time, the adults in her life thought this indicated that she was a budding reporter. But no, it was obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Over time, her OCD would evolve into self-harm and put her in the emergency room. That’s where she found a doctor who understood her and could help.

Today, Jamie stays aware of her OCD tendency as she experiences a booming career in comedy and, yes, journalism, through her stage performances and podcasts. She says that she’s able to better control the same world that used to be so much more chaotic.

American director Sean Baker on his sex comedy about a has-been porn star Red Rocket. Plus, German acting legend Udo Kier talks about his latest role as a retired hairdresser who has one last cut and blow dry to perform….for a society funeral.  

En esta entrevista Lolita cortés nos platica cómo vivió su infancia entre músicos, su experiencia en la academia, cómo sufrió de ataques de ansiedad y por qué se le pasó por la cabeza uno de los pensamientos más oscuros en la vida de una persona.

The 1955 novel Lolita was written by the Russian American writer Vladimir Nabokov. The story’s about a European middle aged professor, Humbert, who’s obsessed with a 12 year old American girl, Dolores, whom he nicknames Lolita. In this episode we explore themes like beauty, desire and youth. 

Get ready for a Kubrickian episode, as me and guest Nathan Abrams explore the rooms of the Overlook Hotel, the jungles of Vietnam, and the infinites of space while we talk about my favorite director, Stanley Kubrick.

Aya says hello WITH her little friend Kevin to Brian De Palma's SCARFACE, arguably the "genome" of the bro-cannon from way back in 1983.

SCARFACE exists more as a meme than a film in 2020, but does that excuse its dated cultural depictions? Can you ever get over Al Pacino's Cuban accent? Is SCARFACE the #2 Dad movie? Listen in as Aya takes on Tony Montana and his bros in this quintessential crime epic. 

Oliver Stone was kicking a cocaine habit while writing it, how could it not be fun?!!
