All The President's Minutes - Minute 43 with Niles Schwartz
All The President's Minutes is a podcast where conversations about movies, journalism, politics and history meet. Each show we use the seminal and increasingly prescient 1976 film All The President's Men as a portal, to engage with the themes and the warnings of the film resonating since its release. For minute 43, I join writer, author and incredible film mind Niles Schwartz. Niles and I digress into discussions about "Capone," being a disease investigator, President's being all a second act, the austerity of the storytelling and what happens next being for the history books. About Niles SchwartzCo-founder and writer, Minneapolis / St. Paul Cinephile Society (http://mspcinephiles.org ). Contributor to The Point (http://thepointmag.com ) & Slant Magazine.Twitter: @nilesfiles Buy Niles' excellent novel here.Synopsis: A motion picture chronicling the last adventures of bank robber John Dillinger (Johnny Depp), Public Enemies was met with much bafflement upon its 2009 release. Director Michael Mann's terse storytelling and unorthodox use of high-definition digital cameras challenged viewers' familiarity with Hollywood's historical gangland elegance while highlighting Public Enemies' own place in a medium—and culture—undergoing sweeping technological change. In Off the Map, Niles Schwartz immerses us in Mann's representation of Dillinger, a subject increasingly aware of his own role as a romanticized frontier folk hero, in flight from an enveloping bureaucratic system. The cultural issues of Dillinger's 1930s anticipate the 21st century watershed moment for the moving image, as our relationship with the pictures surrounding us increasingly affects our own sense of identity, historical truth, and means of relating to each other. Mann's follow-up, the hacker thriller Blackhat (2015), reflects a world where Public Enemies' abstract surveillance state has since colonized the firmament of our everyday lives. Yet in this virtual labyrinth of surplus images, cinema may inwardly illuminate a transformative path for us. Off the Map places Mann's late works in deep focus, exploring our present relationship to cinema on a backdrop that swings from the blockbuster spectacle of Avatar to the curious intimacy of Moonrise Kingdom, ultimately suggesting the mysterious space between the viewer and the screen may yet become a sanctuary of deep spiritual reflection.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

INCREMENT VICE - EPISODE #26: “...most of us happen to be dentists...” with Elric Kane and Brian Saur
For all of Thomas Pynchon’s tracing of the souring and the downfall of the American fate, from pre-revolution secret doom waiting to devour the 60s and 70s and how that leads to our current tainted now, forever, probably the one thing he didn’t predict coming to pass by this nightmare year of our dark lord 2020 was that, eventually, every single movie obsessive would have their own podcast, including one about his only film adaptation. That said, there is one film podcast out there that reigns supreme: the New Beverly-presented Pure Cinema Podcast, with hosts Brian Saur and Elric Kane, has become an absolutely ESSENTIAL ongoing conversation and cinephilic resource between the two men, their guests, and their friends, about not just the films of the New Bev, but films in general, various subgenres and performers and eras, and, in these odd pandemic times, is a real lifeline of listening.And today, they’ll explore with us the unique cinematic mayhem that is Dr.Rudy Blatnoyd, DDS.About the Guest - ELRIC KANE & BRIAN SAUR (PURE CINEMA PODCAST)A weekly film podcast hosted by Elric Kane (of the Shock Waves podcast) and Brian Saur (of the Rupert Pupkin Speaks film blog) and presented by the New Beverly Cinema, the Pure Cinema Podcast features discussions of new films, old films, double features, cult movies, filmmakers and movie lists among a smorgasbord of other Cinema-related things.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

INCREMENT VICE - EPISODE #25: “...that one day in the rain...” with Rian Johnson
The mystery of Shasta Fay Hepworth bookends Inherent Vice. Despite a few brief memories and cameos, she primarily anchors either end of the story, suffusing the long stretch of two hours and 30 minutes in between with the dusting of her starstuff, as if she is this universe’s Big Bang and Big Crunch—the story cannot begin, nor end, without her; but even further, the story is her, a strange supercosmos of Shasta Fay. Sprinkled throughout this long tale is the history of Doc and Shasta, the two once-young lovers who, in the words of their narrator, “each gradually located a different karmic thermal.”And at the exact moment of the film’s halfway point, Shasta reappears as a postcarded memory, in the film’s—and Paul Thomas Anderson’s—most heartrending moment, soaked in sweet melancholy like only PTA can orchestrate it, a memory that sends Doc hurtling towards the dark heart of Golden Fang, but how? Was the postcard a secret message from Shasta, coded in lovetalk, to help him locate the Fang? Was it simply a note of lovesick regret, and his flash to return to the scene simply a moment of coincidental luck? Is the appearance of the Fang’s headquarters here, where Doc and Shasta once kissed, some brutal metaphor for time sweeping away their love? Or was the postcard simply a hallucination sent forth from some blood-kinked, cell-deprived fold of Doc’s overtaxed cerebellum? What’s real, and what is simple hope? What is a true memory, and what is the fictional story we tell ourselves to survive it? That’s a question our host wrestles with today, while talking to someone who’s no stranger to tales of mystery and love and time and space…About the Guest - RIAN JOHNSONRian Johnson is the writer-director behind BRICK, THE BROTHERS BLOOM, LOOPER, STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI (the best STAR WARS, if you're keeping track of that kind of thing), and KNIVES OUT. He also directed your favorite episodes of BREAKING BAD. Beginning with episode 26, he will be the new host of INCREMENT VICE, and is looking forward to interviewing KNIVES OUT 2: KNIVES HARDER scribe Travis Woods.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
