"If she promised you we have come to the part of the episode for the 46 questions we got about karma. Oh my God. A lot of questions about Carmen. A lot of questions. I want to start off with an easy one, and this is very specific. And it was not something that I had thought of, but three or four people emailed about. Does karma reference a line from CSS, which is that Brazilian group from the early 2000s. Their song music is my hot hot sex. And in that song, there's a line that goes music is my boyfriend, music is my dot, dot, dot, dot, it's roughly the same cadence as karma as my boyfriend, garment is my do we think that Taylor was aware of that or at minimum, do we think that Jack Antonoff was aware of that? I was resistant to writing about karma because it is a song that initially repulsed me, I guess I've grown to be able to stand it now that it has been forced in my face on TikTok. The first time that the pitchfork stuff listened to the album, everyone was bringing up that song, the music is made hot sex. Lawsuit TK is what you're saying. Yeah, frankly, I mean, I forgot to mention it in my review because it's pitchfork seems like a place where that would be noted. That would be the lead. That should be the lead, frankly. Yeah, but I don't know. Maybe Taylor Swift had that on her iPod back in the day, but Jack Antonoff definitely knows that song. Guys, she didn't watch TRL. There's no way she could have known. Oh, stop. That's like when Miley said she never listened to Jay-Z. Come on. Billy, building on that idea. Will schimmel's has a question, which is, was karma written with TikTok in mind. And obviously there's been a lot of energy on TikTok in the last couple of months. I somehow blessedly have been spared most of the Taylor talk or swift talk. I've somehow my algorithm said no, not for you, like we are protecting you from this. I won't thank the algorithm for that. But does it specifically feel from a songwriting perspective to be memed on TikTok? That's really interesting to me because for me, the obvious pick for the song we hope will be a TikTok moment is anti hero. And that has been it's me on the problem. It's me, has been. But karma was more so. I think before that even. Was it big on TikTok? I'm embarrassed to say I just very simply don't know. I've seen lots of people doing their little hot dances to karma. So it's a dance. It's a dance thing, or is it sketch based? Does a comedy based at all? Is it storytelling based? What is the mean for? Vibing, truly. The storytelling based is anti hero and I have either of you seen the mastermind tiktoks or having a little bit of a moment? No. Yeah, with the how I convinced the guy to date me once. Yeah, exactly. How I laid a ten year trap to convince my favorite DJ because now my husband, to marry me. Unreal. It's funny because when I was listening to midnight, one of the first times my boyfriend walked in our apartment, I don't remember what song was playing, but that was like legitimately the exact question he asked was is this for TikTok? I don't know. I don't want to say that Taylor Swift is making music for TikTok. But why? Is that any worse than making music for the radio? That's a genuine question. Not anymore. Certainly not TikTok in the radio. Same thing? Yeah, basically. I got a DM that simply read. Karma is camp. Yes. Okay, wait. We're going to do the whole deal. We're doing the whole discourse. This is from Liana adnam Lyanna forgive me if I'm mispronouncing your last name. And I said, LOL, tell me more. I'm listening. I don't know if I agree, but I'm listening. So I got a long read email, which I'll read some of. First off, if you'll indulge me, read the first three seconds. This is about nothing to do with karma. Hi, this is Lyanna and her sister Samra. After listening to midnight, our immediate reaction was, we need to talk to John Carolina. LOL? We love the podcast, even though you have horrible hot takes sometimes, supporting reputation, derogatory, and comparing our king Harry to the devil himself, John Mayer. Okay. Both contentious moments in my background, but I stand on them. At my funeral, go up to the microphone and say, he loved reputation. He loved reputation. Well, you peer out from the casket. Absolutely. Literally bump it. Have like a little like iPod touch just playing it on repeat for all eternity. Anyhow. So there's that. Here's the karma section. Not only is karma camp, but it has layers. Taylor acknowledging the lost album, you have to look at karma the way you look at blank space. It's Taylor playing up the public perception of herself. Karma is the fun pop older sister of my tears ricochet. She is karma is who reputation thinks she is. That's great. Taylor just didn't have it in herself to go with grace. It's her reminding those who wronged her that because she kept her side of the street clean, karma is a relaxing thought. I can't top that, but have at it. Karma's camp. Yes or no? Your DMs are so much better than mine. Yeah. I feel blessed. This is a gift to receive message. Scholars of your writing. That is incredible. It's truly could not be more blessed. Totally sincerely, 1000% sincere. My heart overflows when I receive messages like this. I suppose the question that I'm curious about is does Taylor Swift think karma is camp? Does Taylor Swift know what camp is? Exactly. Was she at that book in camp right in the eye? No, but you know who was? Yes. Jack antle? No. Harry Styles? No. Just say it. You're killing me. Karlie kloss. Who was looking camp right in the eye incredible? Also shout out karlie Klaus, who was IG yesterday from the crystal bridges art museum in Bentonville Arkansas. Also where Jeremy O Harris was proposed. I was like, did she witness Jeremy a Harris getting engaged? Yeah, Jeremy, I was getting proposed to you. Congratulations to Jeremy on I'm getting engaged. Shout out. Yeah, yeah. We salute an artistic proposal. Okay. In the middle of karma, incredible. Was karma playing? Was karma playing what is happening? Okay, tell me though. Does Taylor know understand camp and if so, is this an example of that? See, one of the things that I like that's not a yes or no quiz. Well, I just want to say before I give an answer. I really want her to do an interview around this album because I really want to know where her mind was at. I just would love any tidbit of explanation other than the fact that she was in that weird wood paneled room that she then c-g-i'd. Taylor Swift come on podcast. Yeah, great, great pitch, Gwen. I think karma is him. But I think I don't think Taylor Swift knows what camp is. I think it's a camp, but she doesn't know what campus. I think it is unintentionally hilarious, but maybe it was intentional, could this song have been written around reputation, which is like what all the theories about the album, like the video in which karma is written up on the wall, and all the other album titles, yeah, the song sounds. Madison what do you think? I think it's about as campus, everything everyone wore to that 2019 Met Gala. I'm curious if the sisters in your yes. Which is to say I'm curious if this email contains any sontag contextualization because I would love someone smarter than me to explain to me why this is camp, but based on my pause for admittedly limited disclosure. I don't think it is. Same. No, there's no additional sontag Ian reads here. And to be fair, I get lost in the vortex of various means of camp. I don't think it's camp. It goes back to what I was saying earlier about Taylor is kind of like a sincere songwriter, even if she is a coded songwriter sometimes. I do find her to be fundamentally feels like a sincere songwriter. Like in my review, I talked about Taylor Swift versus like Taylor Swift and quote marks. To me, if she's going to be camp, it's in one of these like Taylor Swift and quote marks moments, but to me, even those don't feel like they have that additional layer on them. They just, they don't.

"All right, let's get to massacre theater, the part of the show where we perform a scene and you get a chance to win a film spotting T-shirt a couple of weeks ago, we massacred this scene. You killed my father, you killed my painful. You took my father's sword. You must have been when I was a young man. There was a time boy when I searched the steel, not more than even gold of jewels. That was James Earl Jones and Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1980 twos Conan the barbarian, written by John milius, Oliver Stone, and Edward summer, milius directed it as well. That massacre was part of a show that included our review of Robert eggers the northmen, along with our Buster Keaton marathon review of Sherlock junior, so why that scene from Conan the barbarian. Here's Jeremy Webb no Berman. He's in Philly. He says, I think this was the fastest I've got in the mascara theater ever. Josh's Arnie was spot on and Adam's vampiric take on James Earl Jones falsa doom works surprisingly well. Snake bat, it's all the same. There were a number of clues late in the show as well. Conan in the northmen, both contain big shirtless killing machines of men, though I doubt Alexander Skarsgård punches in his camels. And of course, James Earl Jones was in a Shakespeare in the park production of Hamlet in 1972, which the northman is an alternate version of. And Ethan Hawke played Hamlet in the 2000 film. Look at that. I'm Jeremy. Kevin Harris also waited here. He's from bloomfield township, Michigan. I've never seen it, but given Josh's uncanny imitation of Arnold, what else could it possibly be? All right. Point counterpoint, Matt white in Indy, again, says not to be gross, but it sounded like Josh's character was struggling on the toilet. You killed my mother. You killed my father. You killed my people. Wow. Someone else may be a little more sophisticated, Josh. Sorry. Said that it sounded like you maybe were from the fictional country of zubrowka. In ode to Wes Anderson. Yes. I like that. Yeah. All right, Michael from San Antonio shared this. I would shower Josh with praise for his rendition of Arnold. But for the fact that he was totally upstaged by Holden's performance at the episode's outset. I can't remember the last time a film spotting episode had me laughing so hard. I had to listen to that bit three times. Henceforth, I will always in the back of my mind, think of Adam as king Adam movie talker as well you should. I hope they're going around calling you that. Regularly. Adam, movie talker. Yeah, Holden did win the kempen our kid conversation to be featured at the front of the show, but if you listen to the podcast and you did stay all the way until the very end, the outtake was a Sam mixed Montage of my three other kids delivering the same line. And in case you didn't know that Sophie was a clone of me, was definitely my daughter. She did it first. Then after she heard how well Holden did, how he really went all in on it. So he's like, okay, I gotta do it again. Then she gave more. I like to think that you really set this up as some sort of battle to the end. Initiation ceremony and whoever did the best got to survive and the rest had to find a new home. Yeah, they got deet did her that night. Okay. So only only Holden got food. That's how it works at our House. Josh reach into the hat and pick out this week's winner. Our winner is David JB Krish from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Congratulations, David. Email feedback at film spotting .NET, and we will set you up with your very.

"Finally, let's have a roundup of the best theater must seize with Matt wolf theater critic in The New York Times who joined me in the studio. Good morning. Good morning, Emma. Hello, hello. How's this land? PC, my God. It's just hurtles along. I think this month there's hardly been a free night, even on Sundays, which would normally be free. There are lots of awards for theater. Ladies and gentlemen, wolff's card dance card is full. So the highlights from this from this busy world. Well, I think we should talk about Ralph Fiennes at the bridge theater in a David hare play called straight line crazy. First of all, let's talk about ray fonts and his commitment to the theater. This is the third play he's done in London as we've been coming out of the pandemic. The second one by David hare, in the previous one at the bridge theater, he actually played David herr, it was a play called beat the devil about David hare we're covering from coronavirus. In this play, he plays a sort of fascinating American urban landscape power broker who was called Robert Moses who died about 40 years ago in his 90s, but anyone who has spent any time in New York has experienced the legacy of Robert Moses because of his parks and his highways or whatever. And it's really a parable of transformation, but also overweening ambition and what happens when you overreach yourself. It's a very small subject, isn't it one man who arguably big subject to Derek take that back. It's a big subject because it's about one man who changed the shape of New York, but how do you make that universally relevant? Yeah, that's the interesting thing. I think they had worked before in a production of ibsen's the master builder. And I think that David herron ray fans see this as a kind of contemporary parable about just letting hubris get in the way of your grand projects. And of course, that can affect any of us anywhere in the world. And obviously any city has had to be landscaped. So it actually makes you think about why a city is what it is and how it got that way. I'm a New Yorker. I have to say, so I found a particularly fascinating what your average English audience member would make of it. I have no idea. I should find out next week when I go and see it, but this character was incredible, wasn't it? I mean, there's a story about him lowering lowering bridge heights to stop buses going past his house. Well, yeah, and he had a very kind of vexed relationship with the populace whom he claimed to serve. So he wanted access to beaches and very good if you could get there on highways and motorways. Interesting. He didn't have a driver's license himself, which is kind of odd. But he didn't really want the hoi polloi go into the beaches. So he wasn't in favor of mass transit. He thought everyone should have a car even if he didn't drive. And yeah, he didn't want bridges to be possible. Brilliant. Let's move on to a play called daddy at the almeida. Yes, this is, I was just reading about two minutes ago that this has been momentarily shut down because of the coronavirus, but it will start up again. This is one of the things that's happening all over the place these days. Momentary closures and then reopenings. I was absolutely fascinated by this plan. It's a brilliant production by the American director danya taymor. It's a play that was seen off Broadway by a black American writer called Jeremy O Harris, and this is his UK debut. He's a very interesting bold maverick writer. If I tell you that the production puts a working swimming pool on stage, which people do actually swim in, that will that will give you an idea of the kind of the ambition of it. So tell us a little bit about whether that actually works, because yes, of course we'll all go and see it for the swimming pool now. But what should we see it for other reasons? Well, it does work because it's set in the home of a wealthy Bel Air California magnet played beautifully by the Danish doctor Claus bang, who's now on screen the northmen, and I didn't know he did theater and he does theater extremely well. And he has sort of taken under his wing this younger black American artist called Franklin. And it's really a play about ownership, sexual, social, artistic. The subtitle of the play is a melodrama daddy a melodrama, and the melodrama bit arrives in the second act when the young artist mother, deciding that possibly not everything is right with this picture, comes to the match and to reclaim her son. Well, thank you so much for joining us on the globalist. That's all we have time for today's program. Many thanks to our producers, Reese James, Paige Reynolds, Charlie filmer court and Sophie monolith and coombs are researchers linen forces in Samson and bogo and our studio manager Chris Blackwell.

"I think chasms is a better. I mean, it doesn't really sound quite right. It has weird mouth feels a word, but casmus. I get jammed up with purposely because it sounds to my ear as if someone is saying that they mean the opposite they're saying without purpose, purpose, less anyway. Here we are. I'm a professional editor. It's fine. Last thing I wanted to mention, my friend and colleague from the ringer Zach cram tipped me off to The New York Times's quiz of like faces that their readers recognized from 2021. It's the do you recognize these notable people of 2021 quiz? And so it is various famous people who were the subjects of stories in 2021 for one reason or another. This was posted on December 16th. And so it has the results. So it's just a whole lot of public figures from various fields. And Shohei Ohtani is one of these faces and figures. Would you care to guess what percentage? Now this is just a times readers who voted in this poll. I mean, you don't necessarily need to be a subscriber. It's just anyone who saw this New York Times quiz, which you care to guess what percentage identified, shohei Otani from his head shot. This is going to bum me out, isn't it? Possibly. Can I ask a question? You can tell me if this gives too much away. What was the average rate of identification? Do we know? Don't know. I know that at the high end, I mean, you had Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Leading the way at 94%. And then at 2%, you had playwright, Jeremy O Harris, and 3% and actress from squid game. So it really runs the gamut. I don't know exactly what the average is. But there's a wide range that they use the whole scale. It's not like the scouting scale, where you have 80s or 20s. I'm gonna guess 36%. You overshot that. No. Multiple of three. Really? 12%. Recognized. Show how tiny. Yeah. Shohei, who I just saw. Is he in uniform? See, that's the thing. You can only see his head, but his head is sporting an angel's cap. So he's wearing a baseball cap, which you think would probably help. Baseball cap, baseball player, even if you don't know the angels insignia. You think that might be a clue, but it's tough. Just today before we started recording, I saw that when The Associated Press's male athlete of the year award, which was an award, I totally knew existed before today. But I think LeBron won it in 2020 and now show you a tiny one. So he's like, clearly a crossover figure. I mean, the fact that he's on this quiz at all, I guess is a bit of a victory for baseball because I would guess that in many years or most years notable baseball people as far as like The New York Times readership is concerned. I do think that this is probably a reflection of the voting pool here as much as it is of Otani. I mean, I don't know that the percentage in the general population would be dramatically different from this, but I would guess that in the general population you would not have say 5 times as many people recognizing Amy Coney Barrett as showing like I don't think I think that's probably has something to do with The New York Times readership and the people who are coming to the times for sports coverage as opposed to news and politics and such. So I'm going to guess that Amy Coney Barrett being at 63 in Ottawa being at 12 doesn't necessarily reflect the American population as a whole, but it is sort of depressing and that I want everyone to be aware of show hirotani and to be able to recognize him. But I'm going to chalk this up partly to the medium here. Yeah, I imagine that your average ESPN viewer probably has a better sense of Otani, right? Because he was just such a huge story in sports. And so while the times has a sports section, which is quite good, you know, if that's not what you're going there for, you know, if you're going for political news and to figure out how to make a galette, then you're perhaps not as in tune with the sport page. But yeah, I would imagine that if you're asking the general population and that population watches sports TV and some capacity, especially the panel shows that they would have a sense of who Otani is. And you wonder, you know, how do the other athletes do? Were there other athletes? So there were other athletes, the most recognizable according to this quiz Simone Biles was up at 79. And of course, you know, she was a big story, not just because of the Olympics and her performance there, but also her deciding not to perform in some events and the whole conversation. That sparked, then you had Aaron Rodgers at 42 and he also has other reasons maybe white people are aware of him. Not only is he a big NFL star, but he also guest hosted jeopardy and then became the subject of a whole COVID controversy as well. So you had that. And then Sunni Lee, the gymnast was at 20. So you had an NFL player and two gymnasts were the most recognizable. Now, here's I guess if you want to look at this from a baseball supporter perspective and be heartened. So I don't know whether this is encouraging or discouraging, but there was a three way tie at 12% or at least if you don't go out to other decimal places or Tony was at the top of the 12% heap tied in a virtual tie at least with Doja Cat and virtual app low. So wrapper slash singer and fashion designer who passed away this year. So I don't know if that helps you calibrate things. But then maybe somewhat surprising at 11%, so just below Otani is Yanis onto the and you might think, well, NBA MVP who won a championship and was the subject of a bestselling biography by one of my colleagues at the ringer would be more name recognition. And again, I don't know if there is something like xenophobic aspect to this, possibly, or not even like xenophobic, but just people being more aware of people who are from certain places or look certain ways, let us say. But it could also be market size. I mean, you have a Milwaukee Bucks star, maybe not as visible as on some big Easter West Coast team. With a tiny you could say, well, he wasn't in the playoffs and the angels weren't good. Obviously, with Yanis, you can't say that, but maybe you say small market, something like that or maybe he kind of broke out in a big way and hadn't been as huge a star for years and years and years. So still, though, you would think that generally NBA player like you always hear of the NBA to star driven league, whereas MLP is not. And so you would probably expect the big basketball start to be above the big baseball star, and so I guess, in a way, that is kind of encouraging, but also not really, because more people should know about both of those guys..

rain a high of 42 so a cold rain and then Saturday night rain after midnight a lower 41 Clearing up on Sunday and 41 right now 59 in partly cloudy at 7 45 You're crazy It's morning edition on WNYC and Michael hill 2021 has been a chaotic and often deadly year at Rikers Island and other New York City jails 16 detainees have died so far including a death at Rikers on Tuesday 6 of those deaths have been rolled suicides violence and use of force incidents have also been at their highest levels and a staffing shortage at Rikers remains a serious concern Today we look at another if seldom discussed aspect of the crisis at Rikers how a lack of outdoor recreation time during the pandemic contributes to tensions there One activist who has been held at riker says it's like a form of solitary confinement He's a human being you're talking about And it's just like them being locked in a cage It's like having a bunch of animals in a cage and never let them out Double the NYC and gothamist reporter Jake often hearts has been covering the situation at Rikers as conditions have deteriorated there Speaking with my colleague David first he talked about what he's heard from the people who are held there I've spoken to a number of detainees who've been held at Rikers over the last 6 months They describe this general sense of disorder fear rampant violence there's filthy conditions And one of the main causes of that which we've been reporting on for months now is the lack of cards Roughly a third of staff have called out sick or not been able to work with detainees in recent months which is contributed to this real feeling of lawlessness among the detainees I recently spoke to someone who described another problem that the staffing issues are causing Matthew christiansen was set to Rikers in September He's 23 years old and what he and many other detainees and correctional staff have said is that people are going weeks Sometimes even months without something that's legally required at New York City jails which is the freedom to go outside for what they call rec time or yard time We're stuck in a cage and we can't there's nothing we can do about it We have no power We don't get our basic rates You mentioned that outdoor recreation time is legally required What exactly are the rules here So since 1978 the city's board of correction which governs the city jails has maintained a set of what they call minimum standards And those are rules for things like how detainees can communicate with their lawyers or how often they could receive visitors Those standards also require jails to provide detainees with at least one hour of outdoor recreation each day So they're entitled to direct access to quote sunlight and air And in the winter the jail has to provide coats and gloves for detainees But since the start of the pandemic basically all of that has disappeared Well if the New York City board of correction is charged with enforcing the minimum standards that you've just outlined what has it had to say about the fact that detainees aren't getting the outdoor recreation time that they're supposed to This is something that the board of correction raised in a meeting back in May They pressed the department of correction which is the agency that they oversee and the city on this issue And the response was basically we're doing our best I had heard from sources at the board This is kind of a bit of point of tension with city hall for a while A few days after that meeting back in May mayor de Blasio quietly released an executive order using his pandemic powers that suspended the city's regulations requiring outward recreation for detainees That essentially nullified the minimum standards that have been in place for decades And is that executive order still in place It is And what does the department of correction have to say about the situation Well they didn't respond to our questions about the executive order specifically They said that they have been working to give people more recreation time They called it a high priority They've also been working a restore other activities such as access to religious services or barbershop We've heard those things are inconsistent some units get them some don't And when we ask the department about that they continue to blame the staffing issues We were just talking about Well Jake we're talking about people being able to go outside but now incoming mayor Eric Adams made a big announcement yesterday on solitary confinement in city jails He said that he plans to bring back the use of punitive segregation or basically solitary confinement in the city jails This is something that the city had agreed to phase out mayor de Blasio hadn't fully phased it out but he had said after years long campaign from advocates to get rid of solitary that he was on board with doing that Adams does not plan to follow through with that And detainees who are accused of getting into fights or acting out against guards may find themselves in solitary confinement Gotham is reporter Jake often hearts speaking with colleague David first WNYC is supported by slave play now back on

Now we've covered the blockbusters, but smaller movies also got released this summer. One of those Zola was based on a Twitter thread posted in 2015. It tells the story of a young woman who travels to Florida to make money as a stripper. And we spoke to Zola herself with the film screenwriter Jeremy Oh, Harris last month I was always on Twitter, and I always told my stories on Twitter. I come home from work late and just kind of ran on Twitter and Twitter is where I kind of found A sense of community I've found You know, lots of sex workers. Lots of dancers. Lunch at lots of, you know, bisexual. We talk about our sex lives. We talk about her, and that's just what Twitter has always been for me. So when I told this particular story It wasn't any different in intention. I was just telling an experience that I had to the people who always listen, that was Asia. Zola King. The movies Eliza, based on her life. Jacqueline. What did you think of Zola? Oh, I love this movie. I mean, can we say what she called it?

Now we've covered the blockbusters, but smaller movies also got released this summer. One of those Zola was based on a Twitter thread posted in 2015. It tells the story of a young woman who travels to Florida to make money as a stripper, and we spoke to Zola herself with the film screenwriter. Jeremy Oh, Harris last month I was always on Twitter, and I always told my stories on Twitter. I come home from work late and just kind of ran on Twitter and Twitter is where I kind of found A sense of community I found You know, lots of sex workers. Lots of dancer Isleta. Lots of, you know, bisexual as we talk about our sex lives, we talk about our and that's just what Twitter has always been for me. So when I told this particular story It wasn't any different an intention. I was just telling an experience that I had to the people who always listen, that was Asia. Zola King. The movie Zola is based on her life. Jacqueline. What did you think of Zola? Uh oh. I love this movie. I mean, can we say what she called it? It's you know, an H trip, but she went down onto thanks for using the H. I appreciate that H troop on South Florida, But I called it fear and loathing in Las Vegas unclear heels in my first tweet when I saw it at Sundance, and that like remains true with Jay Nixon, Bravo and Jeremy Oh, Harris behind it in the co riding into Nixa directing. I just Love. How unabashedly authentic this movie was. It gave homage to the Internet. It gave homage to sex workers, and it gave homage to the kind of girls that I was hanging out with. When we first saw that Twitter thread with that girl, Did you see this? Like, did you see this? You see what she said? It was. It was so incredible. And you felt that watching the film? I can't Say enough about how much I liked it, and I love it. Zola got a chance to really talk about it when when she was promoting the film, If it would have been in the hands, I think of a male or maybe white film maker I don't know if she would have had the opportunity to be so involved in the production of it Well, one of the most innovative parts of the film is the way it weaves social media into the film, and it felt different. Then I then I have seen that before. How did you think about that piece of it?

And this was a movie that literally was born on the Internet. And so having that there is a reason why again. I think it was so brilliant in that adaptation. That's a hard thing to adapt a Twitter thread like That's a high school bar. Well, Zola was released by a 24. That's the same production company behind another summer movie. Here's part of the trailer for Green, the Green Knight. Old greatest of kings. Let one of your knights tried to London blow against me. Indulge me in this game. I will be deep. One. Yeah, hence, while Jonathan Tweets this, my son, my favorite indie summer movies were the green Knight and Kota and Amy emails. I saw one movie in a theater before Everything got scary again in our area. The green knight. I loved it and can't imagine seeing it on a small screen. Dave. What did you think of the green Knight? Oh, I thought it was a really wonderful movie, um, probably the most aesthetically gorgeous film of the summer. Um David Lowery, who directed the movie also directed A really under seen Pete's Dragon remake for Disney, which was equally as gorgeous to look at it. It's a movie. That I think a lot of people that did see it were probably expecting some sword and sorcery action and all of those things that the trailer kind of promises you but it's not that it's a very contemplative, um, poetic. Sort of look at toxic masculinity and what it does to the person into the world. And I think if you look at it through that lens, it's it's one of the better movies of the season because it says something really specific about The world that we live in while also being this kind of fantasy. This this, um bizarre, surrealistic film. It's almost kind of like Excalibur, The Excalibur movie directed by John Boorman. I believe Um, from the from, they think the late seventies early eighties, which was this kind of Arthurian legend turned into a very psychedelic kind of strange experience. Um, I thought it was wonderful. I know not a lot of people saw it. Because it kind of came out in theaters only right as Delta was starting to pick up, so I hope people see it when it hits streaming because I think it's one of the better movies of the year. Yeah, it's still on my watch list. John. How did the green Knight do at the box office? Well, it didn't break any records..

"About this. Which is finally coming out in theaters. I guess it's out in theaters now via twenty four a year and a half after it debuted at sundance in january of twenty twenty It does seem like a great movie to have gotten to play for a huge audience before those became impossible and it also seems wise for them to have waited this long Because it's getting to go out in theaters. it's kind of capturing this huge buzz cycle for itself all over again. isn't adaptation of a twitter thread very famous one is directed by bravo a current by bravo. Jeremy oh harris We'll have an interview. I did with riley keough who is One of the main characters in the movie is kind of this Self-described demon named stephanie. Who takes herman zola on this horrible road trip And chris i had asked you to come join us because you had. We'd been talking about doing an interview for this. It didn't work out. But i knew that you had a lot of thoughts on the movie. And also jeremy oh harris whose career in theater you've been following So then you finally saw zola. So how did it. How did suck up with What you've been following from jeremy. Oh harris i mean i i i loved. I loved the film and it really was like in person with what i sort of love about jeremy oh harris and his work which is always controversial. It's always it's always going to elicit a response and sort of challenge you in a way but at the end of the day it so there's an honesty and just in like truth to it. It's his i would say. He's sort of like provocateur. Like he wants to cause conversation. He's he's a provocateur on the internet on twitter. He's got this amazing. These amazing talks and whatnot. He's unafraid to say exactly what needs to be said but at the end of the day what are you saying is not only true but it's incredibly well executed and it's incredibly potent and i think we see that we saw it. Let's slave play his. Tony nominated the tonys up somehow not happened to nineteen twenty nineteen. Tony nominated play slave. Play which has been nominated for the most tony's of any play ever and which i thought three times in theaters and we see it in a completely and sort of a not a completely different way but in through a different lens with his work with geneva. Bravo on zola. Which takes a really thorny and sort of ridiculous subjects ridiculous matter. That twitter thread by zola and presented in a way. That is not what you would necessarily think when you read that twitter threat. I think there are a lot of really great reviews. Think richard are critic. Richard lawson an amazing job of pointing out that. There's a delicate nece in one nece and sort of a lot of space and depth to it's sort of a mad cap you know hijinks spring breakers sort of you know crazy road trip. There's a lot of sadness on a lot of stillness and a lot of silence. But it all comes from a place of sort of zola's truth in that moment in in what she's experiencing and seeing it through her eyes and which would have probably been going through rather than making the most explosive or you know a hilarious or crazy film which i just really which feels right like part and parcel with who jeremy or at least germy as he presents himself online and in interviews and you know through his work it's provocative and it's meant to ruffle feathers and it's going it's not going to be for. Everyone and people will be offended if people will maybe take issue with it but if you go a step beneath that and you actually look at the work devoid of personality necessarily it sound and it and it makes it really. I think clear and important statement about you know whether it's interracial couples in slave play or the sort of you know that or the relationship between truth and friendship and race as well and zola. Because it comes. It's about it's about race but it's also about trust and who do you trust. And who do you place your trust in. And what happens when you miss place your trust and what can happen and losing your agency. I guess the last thing. I'll say here is i kept thinking while watching about the free brittany movement. I could not stop thinking about brittany spears and her conservative ship in how she sort of lost complete agency without anyone really even noticing they all happened in forever is and we didn't even see it and sort of the same thing happens to both stephanie. Which is riley character but also really even more so. It happens to zola by way of misplacing her trust in the same way that probably britney spears put her trusted her father and her family. The way that zola sort of trust stephanie. You know give her an opportunity you know. She ends up losing almost all of our agency and is trapped and stuck in this absolute nightmare situation and just has to sort of survive. It and i think another thing about jeremy. And i promise i'll stop talking is that he's he's so an jimmy engine exit. Because this is you know it's both it's clearly unix as movie. Who's an amazing filmmaker. There so fluid and adept and so intimate intimately familiar with the internet and how culture were how we use our phones. What videos are watching and all of their references video references. And they're sort of you know. There's a lot of staring at your phone or look at this youtube clip. They all serve the story. I mean there's a scene where there's a woman who's in. Her car is stuck in mud. The wheels are spinning. And she's like i'm stuck and then we cut zola and she's literally her. It's the same situation. So i think that level of internet acuity in is so important telling a story that is so of the internet as Just wanted junk quickly. What you're saying about losing your agency because the way that the the film shows all kind of like trapped in this road trip from hell which i think is a situation we can all you know. We've we've all been at some kind of party. We desperately want to leave. But how it references her reclaiming that agency through telling the story late with the tweet noises and with like you the cuts to her eyes and you can kind of see her drafting. The tweet in the future is a really interesting. Like meta adaptation element. That is so hard to pull off. But it's so like kind of effortlessly threaded through it without taking you out of the immediacy of this situation that she's going through absolutely and the and even her you know her internal the moments that we get her internal model and the expert way that they do that in a way to sort of keep it from becoming salacious just for the point of being salacious. I read an article from jeremy genetic said that they made a point of not having any female nudity and having a lot of male nudity in the film and so every time a character is about to have sex like zola would just say and they have sex which is which again shows us her agency and telling the story but also is a really hurtful way to sort of keep it from devolving into you know another film that displays women's bodies just for the sake of displaying women's bodies this you say something like and then they start fucking it was i guess because we have and then they start fucking which is which is exactly like and it gets across everything that that moment is and then we keep moving along as she goes from moment to moment and she's sort of trapped in this sort of never ending nightmare cycle where she has truly no way to escape and yet her on genuity and her her smarts her..

"Love it or your first hour is free because it wise and we take learning personally three years ago. A man with a grudge murdered five people at the capital gazette newspaper in maryland. And now finally his trial has started. What we wanted to know was how did the staff who survived the shooting. Keep going find out in our capital gazette series from npr's embedded podcast. We're talking about the new movie zola. Let's get back into the conversation. Asia you said you you embellish some things in the threat to make it more entertaining. What did you decide to embellish in. How was it handled in the film adaptation on it was the part of the story where Stephanie gets kidnapped by a rival pimp while they're in her pin comes to rescue. You know to come to save her. Whatever will emit tweet thread. I had said that they have fight in. He got shot but in real life. I mean they kind of just negotiated prices. He waved a connor. How he was like this was going to happen. They talked about price for a very long time. Really awkward to watch to negotiate a price over an actual human person but that that happens. The guns were put away. I guess they spoke the same pin language. I really can't quite articulate but That's what really happy in the story with the audience in the motions of be tweeting. I said he shot him That was maybe one of the only things that i really embellished in. That's where like approaching the end of the story here online. You know keeping tim going in that moment and same thing in in the movie they. He shot adam. He didn't die in the film but he gets shot at shot And in real life no no guns went off. So that is one thing. I embellished and That was it. Everything else happened as it is. I'm jen white. You're listening to one. A. we're talking about the new movie. Zola with co writer. Jeremy oh harris and asia zola king. Who wrote the original twitter threat and live the life that the movie is based on. I want to hear a bit. From the film's eliza lead character. But her co-lead is stephanie played by riley keough i. Let's hear some of her performance and to be clear in this clip. The two characters are actually deeming each other. Hey last month. I went dancing at this cute spot in florida where my roommate's girl may like five. Jeez a night. My roommate just told me that he gone tomorrow. And he asked me about head any fans that wanna make.

"I'm jen white in washington in october. Twenty fifteen asia's zola. Wells fired off a threat of one hundred forty eight tweets. It was later known by. Its hashtag the story you want to hear stories about how mean be feared bailout it kinda long but his felicisimo missy elliott salons knowles and millions of other rap twitter users quickly pushed the saga into trending territory at the time rolling stone called the epic tale of strippers sex. Work and foul play quote. Spring breakers meets pulp fiction and they weren't the only ones who latched onto it cinematic potential. The threat has now been adapted into a feature film from director. Genetics bravo and screenwriter. Jeremy harris best known for his off broadway production slave play but getting it from the very small screen to the very big screen was a saga all. Its own here to tell us more. Zola's co writer. jeremy oh harris. He's also a. Tony nominated playwright jeremy. Welcome hi lovely to be here. I'm so excited. And also with us. The threads original author asia zola king formerly asia wells sola. Thanks for joining us for having need so jerry. You were the first person to try to bring this story to screen. James franco was hired to direct the project. Back in two thousand sixteen working off a totally different script. Actor taylor page. Who plays in both versions. Call that iteration quote inherently racist and sexist talk us through the script you inherited in in why you think. The project needed a reboot. Well i feel very lucky. That genetics Feel comfortable bringing the on with her. Because jake several very close friends and i love to say. Is genetics care so much about this project that and protecting it and putting the right people in the room at the right times that even though during her audition process to become director and co writer of this movie. I told her i don't know if the headaches are worth it. I think you should do another project. She's still said. I have to do it because i think i'm the only person who will protect this woman. The way she needs to be protected and she's still invited me to do it once she got it. And you know one of the things i think made it very easy to pick me that i had a sensibility that was very similar to hers. And that sensibility was one wherein upon reading that script we both felt that we knew that the audience for that script would be very large. It was a movie that was made for the twenty-five thirty five year old white male demographic that sort of run cinema right there the reason why f- like Fast nine is one of the biggest movies in america. This weekend but Genetics ibos solve the things they did. And we said if this was the movie those playing the cinema. We wouldn't see it. So how can we make a movie that would play in the cinema and that movie would be a movie that would see sex work as not something untoward that would see sex work at something that was as mundane as any other job right and see the story of the story that was about not Some rock is girls trip with like you know breast and like stripping but actually a really complicated story of a nineteen year old girl who was traumatized after falling in love with the girl that she thought maybe her new best friend right and and seeing that friendship taking advantage of manipulated. So this movie is is your story. What do you think about the various rewrites rights. it's compro- while the first version of this story. i. I absolutely hated it. actually I don't know i like lost faith at that point. I was like this is not the story that i wrote. This is not experience that i had. I just couldn't see myself in it or relate to on in. I knew that. If that's how i felt that's definitely how you know the people who have basically been on this journey with me were going to feel in so i essentially it was just like. I don't even think i really wanna do this anymore. And then just divine intervention in divine timing because everything not put on on pause and our director step down in those writers kinda went with him and you they say everything happens for a reason because the bat plates the conversation really started to to switch in a twenty four came about genetics came about jeremy came and then everything finally started to feel like by my experience. Again with those. Who haven't read the story. Can you just give us a very brief synopsis. Of what happens to that original twitter thread. I was a waitress in the daytime inch different night a medic girl who also says she was a stripper In our hometown in so she. She asked me about dance with her one day. Like of course we just connected in that way. We exchange numbers. She call me the next day she inviting the florida. He said that she had gone there today. As made lots of money on rag on their dave's made money money. So why not right. So i go on this road trip with them them being her her boyfriend and her roommate or who she told me was her her roommate in when we get there. I just quickly find out that you know it was. It was a lie and she acted as bait or a lure for for her roommate. Or and you know he just wanted to to make money. They never really intended for us to dance the whole weekend. It was more of a sex trafficking situation and Yeah i wrote about high kinda maneuver my way through that. Now i got home. You know by being the smartest person in the room. Essentially jeremy talk about the the process and the challenge of taking what started as a twitter thread and turning that into a feature length movie. I mean again. I talk a lot about this. A mainly because i am both a barbed and a little monster. And so you'll hear me sort of like quote both lady gaga nicki minaj like inter The in the middle of conversations. Like i'm quoting the bard or something and you know one of the things that i think about a lot in this process. Is that quote. That lady gaga said a lot on the tour of stars born. Which was that one hundred people in the room but there would have been. There could have only been like one other person in this room. One hundred people that like saw the movie the way i saw it and i just happened to be in a room that day with john nixon. We both saw it the same way. And that was that the pros that asia road over like a hundred forty eight tweets was more like epic poetry than anything else right and if you look at it like that and you take a share knowledge of the theater because you of the theater artists and i'm a theater artist i you can go back to the greeks. You can go back to the beginnings of western culture and say put put a of an annotation by each of these tweets and it looks like homer right and if you do that then. It's very easy to see how you adapt it. Because we've had thousands of those adaptations you know since the beginning of western literary tradition and so that was the methodology that we went to Figuring out the story The be it structure right in. Asia is one of the best structuralist. I've seen That's why her story is the story that we remember from twitter in all of the moments on twitter that have happened. Hers is one of the only major things that we remember consistently as a group right and that's because of her first actress second actor or third extra strong so the outline was there and all we had to do was read deeply into the themes themes to truly know what she was getting at. And i think that would nixon. I both fell upon. Was that what she was trying to tell us through humor right through these genres that queer people that women that a black people have used in literature since they picked up a pin and started writing their stories down Was she was saying i. I do not have a genre for my trauma right. The only genre. I have is keep listening right and so we had to take the trauma that was there that she was a nineteen year. Old girl right. Who was tricked by her friend to go into a to go onto a trip that was going to promise lots of fun in lots of money and was found out while she was there that she was actually being sold into sex slavery and so we wanted to take that trauma and look at it.

The thing that we know with certainty, as is that the numbers will change. Because we haven't finished counting. Now Two of the candidates, Adamson Garcia have already sued the board of elections. What impact will they have? Well in both of those cases, Michael, those were preemptive filings that just essentially preserved the candidates right to challenge ballots during the canvass.

But if they follow up and do submit a lot of additional challenges that certainly could slow down the tally process even more. Bridget with all this taking place? Is it your sense that with all the attention now focused on the mistakes that happened this week and kind of the latest mistake as people are saying about the bong in an election Do you think reform will really come at this point? Oh, that's that's a question that we have after any of these debacles that come from the board of elections. There certainly talk about reform right now. A commitment by the state Legislature to hold hearings to examine what happened here in this process. Uh, but to actually change the agency. Would take work would require either changes state election law reforming the state constitution, and to do that, uh, it's not a process that happens overnight. Alright, W M.

"I'm Sam Sanders. Last summer. In the midst of America's racial reckoning and Internet comedian named Zi Wei form, Odo made a name for herself, asking celebrities the most awkward questions about race. How many black friends do you have? Alice Rubin? Um do you define friend like someone who would pick me up in the airport? Or, like people? I follow her people that I know because I have like Would say 45 black friends that would pick me up at the airport. 4 to 5. You're the third person to say they have 4 to 5 Zewe would get famous people on her instagram live like celebrity chef Alison Roman Or actor slash activist Rose McGowan or play, right, Jeremy? Oh, Harris, and with these celebrities, she would turn these almost absurd raise questions. Into these meta commentaries on race in America right now, Z ways. Instagram lives were such a hit that she's taking them to TV. Would you consider yourself a good ally? E try? How do you try? I, um you have a book called pretty powerful. Why do you think ugly people can't be powerful? This weekend. Easy ways. New Variety show launches on Showtime It is called Zewe in honor of this show's launch. We're going to revisit right now. My conversation would see way from last July. We talk about the art of the interview, and Z waves comfort with making people uncomfortable. Enjoy. I want to talk about your fascination with discomfort. You've talked about this before and what? I really like that? You said you said that like you want White people in this moment, goodhearted white people who think they're trying to do the right thing. You want them to feel uncomfortable talking about race as black people feel living race every day. Totally. I mean, every single day of my life have experienced racism since I was I was pulled out of my mother's womb on, but it's just it zero worst. I hate it. I wish I didn't have to deal with race, right? It's terrible. I wish I didn't have to deal with racism. But it's like if I'm going to be marginalized every day of my Life than hell. Then I'll be damned if you don't feel the same way. So that's just me kind of reversing its me taking my authority in my autonomy in kind of reversing that on a society that's really oppressed me. When did you start doing this? Uh, ask white people hard questions about race to their face thing that is starting high school and college. Was there a moment where you're like? Wanna do this s O. So professionally. It started in 2016. But I've This is my personality trade, for better or worse than the feel horrible dinner party guest but a very funny entertainer. And so I spent doing this in high school where I would just I was. I went to prep school and I grew up in like a predominantly Latino neighborhood. Lawrence, Massachusetts. I'm gonna went to end over which is the opposite of that. It's very, very white, very rich, very affluent. And so I kind of just embrace that experience of being feeling like an other all the sudden, you know, at 14 years old, and I kind of went headfirst into it and said, Hey, you know what? I'm going to make people's lives? Hell on s O. I kind of raised hell as a high schooler, and we just ask uncomfortable questions because it may entertain me. I mean, it gave me joy when otherwise I might feel sort of excluded. I wanna walk through some of the more awkward moments of the Instagram live series, but I want to talk about What the transition from a YouTube serious One Instagram live show what it meant for the floor of the conversation. I'm assuming a YouTube Syria's You kind of get to edit everything in post And I get have Ah, flow in an ark with instagram live. It's just there to change these questions in these conversations. Well, I think if someone said something a grievously racist during the YouTube production, I would just cut it out because it's like, I don't think anybody is help from being traumatized this way, whereas we thumb the instagram lives, it's I have to really be an active listener. Because it's like I think you see it most with the Alison Roman interview, which I asked her. What do you qualitatively like about.

Well, welcome. Good to see a fellow blue stater. We're just like y'all 2020 produced what had been the unthinkable for Georgia Democrats presidential victory and to Senate winds. This wasn't about Miss Take Jeremy Albert Harris was in senior leadership for both the Biden, Harris and Senate runoff campaigns are organizing was sincere. Will continue to organizing a very sincere and strategic manner. This won't be the last year from Georgia Organizing Georgia Democrats have been doing it for years to rebuild their party after losing control of the state decades ago. The latest example the about 225,000 new voters who showed up in January, Jonah Wartelle ran the coordinated Democratic Senate campaigns, The built the largest organizing team in the state's history. We were able to make over 25 million voter contact attempts just in the runoff election alone. The thesis has been that Georgia is a blue state. It's just that many of those voters have been ignored. Minority voters, young voters, So groups like the New Georgia Project, founded by Stacey Abrams began talking directly to them, and George's electoral margins have narrowed. Here's new Georgia project chief executive, and so you thought, if you want to win these are the folks that you need to talk to these folks evening to inspire. And these are the folks who need to be Part of developing a governing agenda. Fast forward to the run offs were unprecedented attention and money floating and the strategy got a turbo charge. The campaigns and groups like the New Georgia project looked around to figure out where the electorate could continue to grow from even just between November and January. Yes, we said over four million text messages. And we also had dozens of virtual zoom birthday parties or people turning 18, another group battleground. Georgia specifically targeted several 100,000 registered black voters who didn't vote in November and it paid off, says they're in Johnson, a former Biden campaign adviser who worked with the group. We can't miss this moment we were able to increase African American turnout in this state by 4% points. We went from 27% in 2018 to 31% in the runoff and 2021. And so that just didn't happen overnight. A disproportionate number of the new runoff. Voters were people of color, says Bernard Fraga, a political scientist at Emory. That's just the mouth. If it wasn't for the relatively high mobilization of African Americans and other non white voters in Georgia, all stuff would have lost. Warnock might have lost it would go to a recount, but Republicans would control the Senate. And yet Georgia Republicans are saying not so fast. Georgia isn't blue. It's purple. Jason Shepherd is chair of the Cobb County Republican Party Republicans who firmly believed that the election was stolen, and if they went to vote their boat when matter and stayed home cost us the election. He points out that the Republican distance from the chaos in the White House actually won the other runoff race in January for public service commissioner Governor Brian Kemp, who's up for re election next year isn't taking things for granted. Does he think there's anything Republicans can learn from Democrats? Yeah, definitely, You know, One of the hardest things that I had to get across the people in 2000 and 18 is that the race was going to be very close because a lot of people in certain parts of the state didn't believe that going forward, he says. Republicans need to do Two things get more low propensity voters registered and reach out to minority communities. Sound familiar for NPR news. I'm Emma hurt in Atlanta. At some point classrooms will be full again. Kids will be at their desks. Teachers will be it. There's schools may look like they did before the coronavirus back on track. Eventually in our series that we call learning curve. We've been checking in with parents, educators and students to understand how they're handling schooling during a pandemic, And today we have a call for patients. It's from Theresa there. Snyder She's the former superintendent of war, He's Will school district and upstate New York. She's retired now, and she joins us welcome. Thank you very much. Your district has been doing both remote and hybrid instruction. Like many districts in the country. Um, what do you concerns for one schools returned to in person learning full time. I think my biggest concern is that we're going to be very caught up in what we're considering Quote lost time. And we're going to be working very hard to catch the Children up to where we think they should be. And I really fear that because I really believe that we have to greet some where they are and understand that they haven't stopped growing in this last year of the pandemic. They've been growing. Maybe not with traditional School curriculum, but certainly they've been growing and maturing and thinking, And I believe that when we re enter schools we need to celebrate that and welcome them back. Explain to me what you mean by sort of looking at the way that they've grown another ways. And how do you incorporate that into this traditional learning environment. I think we welcome Children back and understand that they have a voice and that their voices need to be heard. That will learn a great deal about what they've experienced and how they've dealt with the pandemic. I've had a lot of people tell me well, that we were trying with suburban kids or kids. Who are you all right? With the kids who are in poverty situations. They're gonna be really far behind. And I think that's very unfair because I believe the Children who live in poverty situations, very compelling stories to tell. We give them outlets for expressing themselves. I think we're going to be a lot better lost than if we go right back to. Oh, my gosh, you know, they have to get back to their work sheets and the workbooks and are standardized testing schema. Give me an example of what you imagined would be a way to do that well in natural lot of project work, The one of the first projects that I would recommend is the big is an art space project using multiple media and creates, perhaps they quote or a montage of what their experiences event. Have that be a Touchstone for the rest of my year of going back to its end to what we did You know when this happened, Look how we dealt with lost, many of our Children will be coming back, having watched people who are very dear to them and very important to them. You know, obviously being a former superintendent that there are benchmarks that Children have to meet in this country in order to be considered on track. Those are important benchmarks not only For educators, but for parents to so How does what you're proposing fit into that concept of how school is supposed to proceed the benchmarks? I don't worry about that much because they don't predict future success to me. No child performs on a given day on a given exam or given assessment for a benchmark recording doesn't necessarily Tony cool. They are what they think or Holly think. In some cases, mandated testing has been suspended during the pandemic. Would you continue that suspension on def? So for how long? Well, if I had my way way would be rethinking the whole process of testing and the whole methodology, which is they're extremely expensive proposition to begin with, And I'm not certain.
