    Geri Allen's Tribute To Mary Lou Williams On The Kansas City Film Set

    Geri Allen's Tribute To Mary Lou Williams On The Kansas City Film Set

    Geri Allen recorded this interview with me on the movie set of Robert Altman's Kansas City.  Where she played  Mary Lou Williams and paid tribute to her words and music. 
    Digging thru old interviews .... On the film set for the Altman movie Kansas City I watched an amazing band  playing the role of legendary jazz musicians who frequented the jazz scene there: Among them Mary Lou Williams (Geri Allen),  Lester Young (played by Joshua Redman), Coleman Hawkins (Craig Handy), Ben Webster (James Carter), Count Basie (Cyrus Chestnut), Hershel Evans (David Murray), Freddie Green (Mark Whitfield), Walter Page (Ron Carter), and Jimmy Rushing (Kevin Mahogany), Christian McBride, Olu Dara, Russell Malone, Don Byron.
    It wasn't so much who they were playing but what and how well they played.  Some of my favorite moments were never released....just jams as the musicians started improvising between takes...Like Russell Malone starting a tune with Christian McBride and then Ron Carter joins in.

    The Big Lebowski feat. Jake Tropila

    The Big Lebowski feat. Jake Tropila

    Film writer, editor, and podcaster Jake Tropila joins from Los Angeles to discuss the Coen Brothers' 1998 comedy 'The Big Lebowski', starring Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Julianne Moore, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Though middlingly received both critically and commercially upon release, the film has gone on to become a genuine cult classic, launching a cottage industry of fan screenings, conventions, and even a religion.

    We discuss the film's patchwork of influences, including larger-than-life characters withing the Coens' orbit and the works of author Raymond Chandler, especially as adapted by Robert Altman for his 1973 film 'The Long Goodbye'. Then we discuss the film's unrivaled cast, including a superb John Goodman, who turns in an awards-caliber performance as the gun-toting, militant bowling enthusiast Walter Sobchak. Finally, we discuss the film's windy, inarticulable plot, and the way that its mechanics might conceal a deeper level of criticism about the sociopolitical landscape of America on the eve of The End of History.

    Popeye is artful chaos, plus the Robin Williams Mt. Rushmore

    Popeye is artful chaos, plus the Robin Williams Mt. Rushmore

    The first Disney film to feature a cuss word, and the first film to feature Robin Williams (and Linda Hunt if we're keeping score).

    It's Popeye, the 1980 musical comedy by Robert Altman.  In this episode we visit the island of Malta to delve into what movie Altman was trying to make, where Swee'Pea's psychic powers came from, and whether or not you should ship Popeye and Olive Oyl.  Plus, we build a monument to Robin Williams!  So open up a can of spinach and join us for a movie conversation that's odd, informative, and somehow involves legos and tattoos.

    123: The Long Goodbye (1973) and Brick (2005)

    123: The Long Goodbye (1973) and Brick (2005)

    Neo-Noir is the theme. Robert Altman's "The Long Goodbye" (1973) is one of many Phillip Marlowe films made  and it's one of the best. Elliot Gould is terrific as the mumbling, smart-ass gumshoe. We liked the film, but thought the ending was way out of character. "Brick" (2005) is modern day high school murder mystery that uses dialogue that came straight out of 40's film noir. It worked okay, but the plot was too confusing to make much sense and Joesph Gordon-Levitt (a show favorite) wasn't up to playing the lead.

    We received an email from a listener named Jen and she gave us a few suggestions and one of those is "Harvey" (1950). So, the next theme is invisible rabbits and "Harvey" is paired with "Donnie Darko" (2001)

    Thanks for listening!

    Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia

    Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia
    Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico...it very well may be your last! Our latest look at crime cinema has us trudging through the muck of Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia, director Sam Peckinpah's unforgiving neo-western from 1974. But before we descend into oblivion, we load up a Blue Plate Special where we discuss Kathryn Bigelow's appropriately titled Strange Days, parse the latest David Cronenberg release Crimes of the future, and celebrate the dearly departed character acting legend Phillip Baker Hall. Upon eventually taking the off-ramp to Hell, we consider the game changing filmography of Peckinpah, the beauty of Warren Oates, and weigh what exactly today's film in question adds to the genre complexion of New Hollywood's cynicism.

Og eru Íslendingar líklegir til þess að fara að vinna meira sjálfir úr þessum sagnaarfi eða er það mögulega alltof dýrt?

    Við fengum þrjá leikstjóra til að ræða allt þetta og meira til, þá Ragnar Bragason, Ásgrím Sverrisson og Hauk Valdimar Pálsson, en sá síðastnefndi kom lítillega að leikmyndahönnun myndarinnar, hannaði meðal annars leikmynd eftir málverki Da Vinci.

    Rise of the Planet of the Apes

    Rise of the Planet of the Apes
    For our seventh episode studying the film series which once asked us to go ape, we find ourselves in a state-of-the-art- circa 2011 anyways- digital playground with Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the first of the most recent trilogy of reimagined primate action. Listen as we first discuss some recent films we've seen, including Robert Altman's 1979 uncharacteristic bore Quintet and the newly released Don't Breathe 2, which of course sparked a brief conversational revisit of the canny 2016 original. Upon finally getting around to the 2011 simian film, we weigh the various means through which this seventh entry retooled the franchise for yet another new generation, attempt to traverse across the tricky minefield that is James Franco as unscathed as we can, and do our best to come to terms with the likely permanent arrival of computer-generated apes.

    The Long Goodbye (1973)

Adam Roth and Jason Furie review Robert Altman's neo noir classic "The Long Goodbye" (1973) starring Elliott Gould as iconic private investigator Phillip Marlowe. Go watch this movie and then give this episode a listen. Instead of popcorn, get a bowl of dried apricots. Trust us.

    Brewster McCloud

    Brewster McCloud
    Inspired in part by a precocious youth of the early 1970s who quite possibly may have been avian-themed serial killer, we take our own bold leap of faith in discussing Brewster McCloud, New Hollywood icon Robert Altman's 1970 follow-up to M*A*S*H! We do our best to string together some thoughts on one of the era's most fruitful auteurs while exploring the particulars of what made the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1970s among America's most maddening socio-cultural moments.

    In the eighteenth episode of Season 3 (Manifest Destiny) Kyle is joined by script supervisor Katy Baldwin and fellow podcaster Ben Thelen (of the Dead Reckoner podcast) to discuss the autumnal, wintery anti-western that utilized the genre's tropes of the self-made man and the American idea of self-determination as a cosmic joke in Robert Altmans McCabe & Mrs. Miller.
