Americans tend to see the Declaration of Independence and the Revolutionary War as milestones in world history that inaugurated the era of modern democracy. But the British, unsurprisingly, see these events quite differently. David Remnick talks with the historians who host the popular podcast “The Rest Is History,” Dominic Sandbrook and Tom Holland. Growing up in Britain, Sandbrook explains, the Revolution seemed like “a parade of quite boring men talking very earnestly about liberty, [with] battles that involved twenty people in a field somewhere. . . . It’s not Waterloo!” The King was “annoyed” to lose the thirteen colonies to the new nation, but, for his government, “it could have been a lot worse.” Sandbrook and Holland discuss historical events that overshadow the American Revolution in the British mind; the 1619 Project and the subject of slavery; the “colossally consequential” Presidency of Donald Trump; and the fate of the British monarchy.

Yes, SLoB finally turns its Sauron-like eye on what is thought to be the second best-selling novel of all time (after Dickens’ Tale of Two Cities): Lord of the Rings. And who better to share this experience than Dominic Sandbrook, historian of the 20th Century, co-host of the Rest is History podcast, and Tolkien devotee. 

In this Fellowship of Literary Analysis, Dominic, Sophie and Jonty are united in believing that Lord of the Rings - a novel which, superficially, appears to be about orcs and wizards in a fantasy realm - is in fact one of the greatest novels about the 20th Century. Together, they plunder Tolkien’s work and life to show how seismic events - two world wars, the rise of fascism, industrialisation, environmental disaster - found expression in his sprawling masterpiece.

Jonty and Dominic clash, like marauding armies on the plains of Mordor, over whether the many poems and songs in Lord of the Rings are of a quality that the reader deserves. While Sophie embarks on the inevitable digression into the Dead Marshes of the Protestant Reformation. 

Dominic gives the shock announcement that Tolkien almost called Frodo ‘Bingo’, which would have made for a great episode of Bluey but not for a terrifying novel about good versus evil. Even less so if Tolkien had also followed his original intention to call Aragorn ‘Trotter’ and the Elves ‘Gnomes’. After all, it’s hard to imagine Cate Blanchett signing up for the role of Galadriel, the ethereal gnome

Welcome Back Radical Ones! ⚡️

This week, come and knock on our door, Radical Ones Ryan, Rob, and David are celebrating Robebration and kicking off John Ritter Month with the legendary sitcom "Three’s Company!"

We’re diving into Season 1, Episode 1: “A Man About the House", the pilot that started it all — but did you know it was based on a British series? That’s right! "Man About the House" originally aired in the UK from 1973, and Three’s Company was its American adaptation, running from 1977 to 1984!

We talk:

🎭 The casting changes and behind-the-scenes drama!

👩‍🦱 Chrissy, Cindy, or Terri — who’s your favorite roommate?

🏘️ The Ropers or Mr. Furley — who’s your landlord MVP?

It’s a groovy trip back to the golden age of sitcoms and a tribute to the comedic genius of John Ritter. So grab your shag carpet and tube socks — it's time to get RADICAL!

"The show is about an aspiring cook Jack Tripper who is able to move into an apartment with two young women, Janet Wood (Joyce DeWitt), Chrissy Snow (Suzanne Somers), who live in the Santa Monica area after convincing the gruff landlord, Mr. Roper (Norman Fell), with the help of his long-suffering, sex starved wife Helen that he is homosexual. Later on, The Ropers sell the apartment, and the brother of the owner of the property, Ralph Furley (played by Don Knotts of The Andy Griffith Show fame), a self-professed ladies man, becomes the new manager."

Stars: John Ritter, Joyce Dewitt, Suzanne Somers, Richard Kline, Don Knotts.

With James Naughtie.

Donna Tartt discusses her cult debut novel The Secret History, first published in 1992.

"I suppose at one time in my life I might have had any number of stories, but now there is no other. This is the only story I will ever be able to tell."

In a rare visit to the UK, Donna Tartt discusses The Secret History, which she has described as a 'why dunnit'. It's a murder mystery about a group of classic students at a privileged New England college; but from page one she discloses that the friends have murdered one of their number, Bunny. A literary thriller with allusions to Euripides and Dostoevsky, The Secret History was an overnight sensation and has gripped readers for decades.

As always in Bookclub, a group of invited readers join in the discussion too.

We are finally discussing the mother of all dark-academia books! The Secret History by Donna Tartt is undoubtedly a Modern American Classic and we are here to dissect the dynamics between characters, how horrible everyone is and how we wish we were as eloquent as Mother Tartt. What are your thoughts on this Secret History?

Follow us @throughthepagespod on Instagram and TikTok to get in touch and to let us know your thoughts!

In this episode, Liz and Lily discuss Donna Tartt’s iconic novel “The Secret History”. In it, they talk aesthetics, immorality and elitism as they debate the book that launched a thousand dark academia books. 

Why has this novel been such a popular success? What should we make of Donna Tartt’s portrayal of women? What makes dark academia so alluring – and why does it always seem to involve the humanities? These are just some of the questions they explore in the podcast. 

Described as a “literary giant” and “one of the most revered” writers of her generation, Donna Tartt burst onto the literary scene as something of a sensation. The Secret History is already considered to be a cult classic and in the podcast, Liz and Lily will be discussing whether it will be given a place in the literary canon.   

“The Secret History” is a novel about a group of Classics students who attempt to go beyond the boundaries of cognitive existence. Inspired by a love of the ancient Greeks and encouraged by their charismatic professor, the students partake in a Dionysian ritual: a frenzied and mysterious activity with deadly consequences.

There are works of weird fiction that dispense their strangeness so subtly that many readers never pick up on it, books that allow themselves to be pass for mundane, the better to haunt us after we put them down. Donna Tartt's debut novel The Secret History, published in 1992, is such a work. On the surface, it is a brilliant, yet completely naturalistic, telling of the lead-up and aftermath of a murder. But The Secret History is also a work of the depths, and readers who go in seeking the Weird will find it lurking on every page. More than a masterpiece of psychological exploration, it is a story about the resurgence of the old god Dionysus, and a chronicle of fate; fate conceived, in the manner of the Ancient Greeks, as a cosmic force.

No, your eyes do not deceive you—this is a new episode of Rite Gud in your podcast feed. But it’s also NOT a new episode. We’re finally taking the best of our Book Club episodes from behind the paywall. This was originally released July 25, 2022. 

For this month’s edition of the Book Club, we are joined once again by Canadian correspondent JR to talk about Donna Tartt’s massive novel The Secret History. Let’s dive into some dark academia. Ω ιτε Βακχαι

The post The Secret History by Matt Keeley appeared first on Kittysneezes.

Donna Tartt’s ‘The Secret History’ is synonymous with the term ‘Dark Academia’. It was the beginning. And if you did not realise that before reading the book, you could be forgiven for thinking that the author had just taken the Dark Academia checklist and inserted it all into one narrative. But what makes ‘The Secret History’ a Dark Academia title? We discuss.

It’s finally happening! We’re going back to the beginning and re-examining ‘The Secret History’ with 8 seasons of the podcast behind us and this season of reading Tartt’s influences - how has our list of tropes held up? Do we still love the novel whole-heartedly?

'Everything, somehow, fit together; some sly and benevolent Providence was revealing itself by degrees and I felt myself trembling on the brink of a fabulous discovery, as though any morning it was all going to come together---my future, my past, the whole of my life---and I was going to sit up in bed like a thunderbolt and say oh! oh! oh!'

Under the influence of a charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at a New England college discover a way of thought and life a world away from their banal contemporaries. But their search for the transcendent leads them down a dangerous path, beyond human constructs of morality.

We’re so excited to revisit this novel and re-examine it with our updated knowledge and experience of dark academia.

This is the first of three episodes on J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings to be released in the course of the next several months. Focusing here on The Fellowship of the Ring, our hosts discuss the first leg of Frodo's journey into darkness, paying special attention to Tolkien's prose style, his modernism, his commitment to a truly magical realism, and his penchant for the weird and the tragic.

Donna Tartt: we love to love her. Welcome to Espresso Epilogues, a podcast where two book-loving besties, Aspa and Erifili, talk about books over coffee.

In this episode, we're diving into Donna Tartt's work and discussing The Secret History, one of our all-time favorite books!

In future episodes, we'll discuss authors like Dostoyevsky, cover our favorite classics, talk about philosophical literature covering existentialism and absurdism, and so much more. Stay tuned ;)

Donna Tartt's novel The Secret History is a loveletter to Greek tragedy, that begins with a dedication from Nietzsche and Plato. Central to the story is the concept of the Dionysian, and the attempt of the main characters to experience the Dionysian. Richard Papen's fatal flaw is his "morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs". His undying quest for a beautiful aesthetic life leads him to become part of an elite clique of students at Hampden College in Vermont. All six of them are under the sway of a charismatic and mysterious professor named Julian Morrow. After his friends accidentally kill someone while attempting a modern-day bacchanalia, Richard finds himself drawn into their crime, as he does everything he can to help them cover it up. This year becomes the defining event of Richard's life, and the story is his retelling of this 'secret history' of how he became what he is. We will examine the novel's use of truth and appearance, and how the Dionysian in this story serves as a "pure fire of being" which burns away the false appearances of the characters in order to unify their appearance and essence, and force each person's nature to draw its final consequences.

Jeff and Rebecca revisit Donna Tartt's cult classic, the OG of dark academia, The Secret History.

Movie Meltdown - Episode 229

Always going that extra step to find our audience, this week we set up shop at the Flea Off Market to spread the word about the show. But then as usual, we just hang out and primarily talk amongst ourselves about movies. So as we are seated there between carved statues of bears, various clothing articles and the multitude of record vendors... we proceed to discuss important subjects like Iron Man 3, Pain and Gain, The Call, Kiss of the Damned and - The Notebook? Plus the gloves come off... as we discuss what child of a celebrity is a complete sociopath. But what we didn't expect was the "interesting" people we would meet while we were there, including a guy in a killer whale shirt, a woman who claims she delivered a pizza to Harry Dean Stanton and a vendor who tells us he likes to run marathons dressed in his Captain Jean Luc Picard uniform. You gotta love the flea market!

Plus as we attempt to suplex a small child, we also mention... sea shells crafted into Ninja Turtles, the death tunnel, justice vs. wasted tax-payer dollars, going to the drive-in, Session 9, self absorbed machismo, Tony Stark, a Hollywood surreal art house film, Jennifer Garner, Marvel vs. DC, The State Lunatic Hospital at Danvers, Rogue vs. Storm, spawned something, Donatello... the survivor, John Cassavete's films, Vincent D'onofrio, Silence of the Lambs Lite, Star Trek, Xan Cassavetes, John Carter, Happy Accidents, Milo Ventimiglia, Faces, Brad Anderson, Gothika, having an underground lair, the M. Night school of script picking, a fake, Michael Bay, going to Cheeks, High Fidelity, Waverly Hills Sanatorium, The Island, Thor in Santa Fe, Next Stop Wonderland, smelling hair, the Iron Man paradox, post-traumatic lock down, The Machinist, Reverend Horton Heat's phone number, being dressed like the Universal Monsters, Halle Berry, Dances with Wolves, the natal pod that birthed you, a collection of wiffle bats and a shark mouth that you could walk through.

Spoiler Alert: Spoilers for "The Call" are contained in this episode. Also... for those who are wrestling-ignorant as we are, David Otunga aka Officer Jake Devans, is a WWE wrestler.

A real chef weighs in. Should Andy continue the Lord of the Rings extended editions? All this and more before we even hit the last four!

Finally, the gang put on their dog heads and explore NYC through the eyes of Greg Mottola in his 1997 film The Daytrippers. They talk lovable Liev and the Stiller connection in this film, before visiting a new classic segment, Ian Reads Reviews to finish things off.

Pack your bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils and meet us on the top of the Empire State Building because it's Nora Ephron week in the elevator. That's right. For Valentine's Day we're pitching to the great writer, director, novelist, and kitchen map enthusiast. But first, a quick chat about a new trailer that piqued our interest. Then a discussion on Ephron's legacy and background as a filmmaker. Finally, we pitch to Nora hot off You've Got Mail in the year 2000 (44:11) - just before the genre she helped pioneer takes a turn for the...worse?

Emmy-Award winning comedy writer for Last Week Tonight: Chrissy Shackelford talks Nora Ephron's "You've Got Mail" (1998).

"What will NY152 and Emily & Barney say today?", I wonder. Probably something about seeing a butterfly on the subway wearing a hat. In this episode, they review the best film ever - ‘You’ve Got Mail’ featuring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. This episode is for people who think The Godfather is the I’Ching and Nora Ephron is the greatest writer/director to ever exist. If you love cute book stores, and the occasional cyber sex, this is for you. 

Pro tip: best listened to with some Tic Tacs or a Starbucks Tall Decaf Cappuccino.

On episode #58 of Floating Through Film, we continue our series that was picked by Dany, Yasujirō Ozu! On this week's episode Dany starts the episode again with another general discussion of Ozu (1:20), before talking about the films for this week, the two most popular Ozu films in most circles, 1949's Late Spring (25:07), and 1953's Tokyo Story (1:22:17). We hope you enjoy!.

Episode Next Week: Ozu Week 3 (Early Summer + Tokyo Twilight)

Dave and Jeremy dive deep into Dave’s pick, a domestic drama from director Yasujiro Ozu. In post-war Tokyo, 27 year old Noriko resists mounting pressure to marry and leave her widowed father’s home. Filled with moments of everyday tranquility, LATE SPRING evokes powerful emotions with unusual camera placement and subdued performances that gently advance the painful conflict faced by Noriko and her father.

Join Dave and Jeremy as they admire the effectiveness of Ozu’s style and puzzle over the tantalizing ambiguities that bring his characters and their fates to life. This episode's conversation touches on the critical responses to Ozu’s oeuvre, his recurring cast members, and the vision and craft with which this innovative director renders the turning points in this subtly devastating study of self and family. Cue up, hang out, and rewind as much as you like as Dave and Jeremy relish the warmth of LATE SPRING.

Thank you for listening! Please subscribe, leave a rating or review, and share this show with your friends.

We’ll be back next month with Jeremy’s reply.

LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With! THE RESURRECTION!

Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with very funny comic SEAN McLOUGHLIN!

Be alert and forewarned, for this is the second coming of Sean as Brett had some unfinished business to settle with the rapscallion… A wonderful return where scores get settled and said unfinished business gets marginally less unfinished. Super fun from the beginning, kicking off with some hilarious holiday mishaps and adventures, and including the fun of falling in love, action and stunts, feeling too much in films, and altogether so much more. Between you and me - and I don’t care who knows - this one’s a true treasure. Quick side note - Sean last appeared 150 episodes ago! Imagine that.

* Audio note - there is a slight difference in quality in this episode, but if you let your ears relax into it the content will shine through. The circumstances were unforeseen but thanks for bearing with it. It might be the case in the following episode too, but we should be golden thereafter. Big love. X

The boys discuss the vaccine, the New Yorkers who lost it all and watch the 1984 Woody Allen classic, Broadway Danny Rose. Was he innocent?

Workshopping Humanity is a podcast where we discuss the cultural and philosophical elements of a piece of popular culture that has also influenced our life in a profound way. Brett Schutt talks to Alex Helmer, the host and creator of the League of Cinephiles. They discuss Hannah and Her Sisters and why it is such a profound work and how they can relate to the characters search for meaning. They also discuss The League of Cinephiles and why it was made in the first place and how connecting emotionally to movies and debating about them tie together in a meaningful way.

On this edition of the Supporting Actress Smackdown we're talking the 1986 Oscars and specifically the actresses Tess Harper, Piper Laurie, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Maggie Smith, and Dianne Wiest. We discuss Woody Allen's Hannah and Her Sisters and the play adaptation Crimes of the Heart, diametrically opposed in quality but both about neurotic sisters. We also gather round the pool table for Martin Scorsese's underdiscussed The Color of Money and consider the groundbreaking (at the time) deaf drama Children of a Lesser God.  Nathaniel Rogers, Cláudio Alves, and Lynn Lee from the Film Experience welcome special guests Jonathan Diaz and Rob Kirby.  

Keith and Jason have never been afraid of plunging into the question of separating the art from the artist. So why not jump into that rhetorical pool again by looking at two films by cinematic master Woody Allen. Annie Hall almost seems like a rough draft of Hannah and Her Sisters, or maybe an earlier version of themes Allen would explore more fully in Hannah, as both films mine similar territory but with a different level of maturity, empathy and depth.

The guys spend 83 minutes talking about these and more films (watch Broadway Danny Rose!), and try to give some context on why they can justify watching films by a man who is so problematic. 

Please do let us know how we did.

Episode #33

It was, in retrospect (and despite the above image), a very good decade for film.

Episode #43 – Part I

This is Part I of our discussion. Part II to follow shortly. 

We hope you enjoy our COEN BROTHERS / HAIL CAESAR episode wherein we dicuss Joel and Ethan’s latest effort and cast retrospection on their canon.  Part of what makes these auteurs so fascinating is their cultivation of an aesthetic work ethic that spreads across a broad and diverse body of thematic/narrative/genre landscapes. Bold filmmakers unafraid to work within the template of genre; they subvert and mold them into Coen Brothers films. We discuss their highs, lows and middles. Join us!

Note: After pickups, we talk about Hail Caesar for about 40 minutes. If you’d rather hear us talk about the Coens in general, we start that discussion at the 51 minutes mark, and finish it in Part II of the episode.

Episode #43 – Part II

Here’s Part II of our discussion of the Coen Brothers. We had some lost audio in the first part, and this is that audio.

In Part I, we do pickups, talk about Hail Caesar for almost an hour, and get into about 17 minutes of a discussion of the Coen Brothers in general.

In Part II, we continue the discussion. If you missed the beginning of the discussion, go back and listen to Part I. (If you don’t care about or don’t want to listen to a discussion of Hail Caesar, skip ahead to 51 minutes.)

We also talk a lot about Woody Allen, and Erik tries to compare the Coens to Jean-Luc Godard as a contrast to Francois Truffaut.

Near the end, we also discuss teaching the Coen Brothers.

Fresh Air with Coen Bros – Nick was pissed off about this interview because he feels the Coens unfairly maligned the original True Grit. What do you think?

SMALL TALK & BIG KITCHENS, our mini-series on the romcoms of Nora Ephron and Nancy Meyers, continues with the movie that brought the romantic comedy into the age of the internet.

With the creative freedom rewarded to her by the studios after the success of Sleep in Seattle, Nora made two films: the critical and commercial holiday flop Mixed Nuts, and the moderately successful critical flop Michael; but Nora wanted another hit. So, when producer Laura Shuler-Donner offered Ephron the chance to write and direct a remake of 1940’s The Shop Around the Corner, Nora jumped at the opportunity and knew the romantic comedy was the perfect vehicle to reteam with her Sleepless co-stars Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.

But 1998’s YOU’VE GOT MAIL wouldn’t just be a remake of Shop that replaced anonymous letters with anonymous emails, it would be about David and Goliath, how business can be personal, and a love letter to the Upper West Side.

Join Nick & Scott as they discuss their deep-seeded nostalgia for “clutter-core” and the New York City of the late 90s. Plus, is this movie the Rosetta Stone to Scott’s brain?

Woody Allen’s breakthrough as a ‘serious’ filmmaker is a sublimely funny romantic comedy about an anxious comedian’s relationship with Diane Keaton’s ditzy eccentric. Yes, indeed, this is a Woody Allen movie........ (awkward) but no matter what you think of him, this is just a great movie. Period. And I swear it's more appropriate than his other films. And DIANEEEEEEEEEEEE. :) :) :)

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What Charlie Chaplin did to Adolf Hitler in “The Great Dictator” Woody Allen does to himself in “Deconstructing Harry”.

Written & Directed by Woody Allen. Starring Woody Allen, Hazelle Goodman, Judy Davis, Elisabeth Shue, Kirstie Alley, Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, Julie Kavner, Demi Moore, Amy Irving, Caroline Aaron, Mariel Hemingway, Tobey Maguire, Robin Williams, Stanley Tucci, Bob Balaban, Eric Bogosian, Billy Crystal

How is the world wrong about Deconstructing Harry?

From Andras: Woody Allen’s films are often used, misleadingly, as evidence to justify the accusations against him. A film like “Deconstructing Harry” does the opposite. In Allen’s most direct cinematic response to the end of his relationship with Mia Farrow he portrays himself as a pill popping, booze swilling, womanizer who brings misery upon those around him by using their lives for his art. A guilty man might be expected to portray himself as innocent but Allen seems to be saying, “It’s true. I am horrible. Just not the way you think”. This is not only the response of an innocent man. It’s the response of a great artist.

This sort of film isn't really made anymore, so as Dan and Simon take a look at 100 films from 1987, they grapple with their own nostalgia while wondering who even listens to radio anymore.

Hannah supports her sisters. She’s a source of money, encouragement, and advice, and seems to ask for nothing in return. In fact, she’s so giving and self-reliant that her husband Eliott begins to believe that she has no needs. This seems to be the spark that ignites his infatuation with Hannah’s sister Lee. It also leads her sister Holly to rebel against what might be called Hannah’s regime of care, only to marry another of her dissidents, her ex-husband Mickey. Wes & Erin discuss Woody Allen’s 1986 classic, and try to figure out why those closest to Hannah need to escape her goodness to find themselves, and whether a loved one can be too perfect for our own good.
