Dr. G and Mr. Reagan Know the Value of Classic, Pre-Woke Films
"You're making enough noise to wake up the dead. I don't have to wake him up. He's up. I don't have to wake him up. He's a classic Abbott un Costello. That's from Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein. We've actually Bela Lugosi. That is Bela Lugosi in the casket. That is the original OG Dracula guys. If you've had enough with crap movies and TV, you know, there's so much good stuff out there. If you go prior color, Chris, isn't it just so much good stuff out there? Oh yeah, you know, it's funny. I feel like old classic films get a bad name. Yeah. Get a bad rap because here's what I think the critics like to do. They like to look at old films, they like to say, what was popular in the day? Well, I don't like that. I'm too good for that. I'm going to look at this thing that people didn't really appreciate in the day. And I'm going to show everybody why I'm so much more sophisticated than everybody else. I'm going to explain why I understand why this is so good. Because I'm so special and smart. Exactly, exactly. They're like peck from Ghostbusters. Actually. And they want everybody to think they're so smart. So the reality is if you just look at some of the stuff that was made for the popular folks, that was made for the general population, right? The comedy, the comedy love stories. A lot of this stuff, the William Powell, mirna loy, those films. I like the thin man movies. But also, anything with Katherine Hepburn and these old comedies where you would get a couple, there would be some kind of miscommunication. They'd get into some kind of an adventure, these movies were actually fantastic, very, very funny, very charming. And well written. And well written and really well written. Really

"She did play a great world. And what I liked the most about Katherine Hepburn's character as a mom was that it was so realistic to me as a mom character. She was like, hesitant at first, but she was like, you know what? And it's a trend that we see in movies often with moms and daughters, is like my daughter's happiness is my happiness. So I'm going to support her. I'm going to support my daughter over my husband. I'm going to choose my kid over my spouse. And I love that because kids deserve to be supported and protected. But when they're acting like Joey with not a thought in her head, it's like maybe you should really think about this. Yeah, she definitely needed education. And it has nothing to do with Sidney Poitier's character. It was just that he was so grounded and she was so up in the cloud that it was like, what? But you could tell that they had genuine love and affection for each other, which is all you need, and I do agree any Poitier, incredible trailblazer, incredibly successful actor, incredibly diverse, and he is amazing. Yeah, and I like the fact after they have the first conversation. He walks in and says, I want to talk to both of you. He said, look, she's got a head in the clouds. She's falling in love. And this is the reality. And he's like, this is how it is. This is how it's going to be. And he's like, you know, specifications like, are you giving me an ultimatum? He's like, no, he's like, I'm just letting you know. This is how it is. And he's like, you have the right to say, goodbye. And he's like, it's up to you. Right, but then at the same point, he hides that conversation from Joey. So it's like, why are we either protecting joy or putting her on this pedestal where she has to be kept in the dark? Because being kept in the dark leads to ignorance, or are we saying that she is this liberal enlightened person? Or is she just sheltered? The movie time and time again contradicts itself. Yeah, I just think she was a childhood idiot. Sorry, Joey, I thought. I just think that she was a pampered selfish spoiled person that wanted what she wants and it's going to be this way. It's going to be that way. This is how it is is what I'm going to get. This is how it is. And I feel that spezza Tracy got the heparin parenting, caused that. They did, but in a sense, it's not wrong. You should raise your kids to be inclusive and open. And understanding and empathetic and all those things, but not shelter. But not sheltered. And that's my point. She was because by the contradictory writing of this film, these parents thought that they could say one thing and then act a different way. I mean, to the point where they still had like a black maid. Yeah, yeah. What liberal, we love black people, but Tilly make a sandwiches. Like, what? Yeah. You know, I agree with that. And then to get magically because she's like, well, look, you know, he's living above his station. When you kept her at her stage, you know? And maybe that's why she thinks that. That's called the evils of white supremacy, which are rooted in capitalism. There's so much that this movie could have dealt with. I agree. I mean, I liked it. I thought it was. I mean, Sydney Puerto is amazing. Yeah, I thought it was one of those movies, but you watch it, and you go, I see what they're trying to get at. I see where it's going. It had a lot of good qualities. A lot of good points. A lot of good acting, the acting was great, and acting fantastic in it. You know, just like you said, it's a bunch of white people in a room trying to talk about a situation they didn't know about. Which is insane because you had Sidney Poitier right there. Yeah. Bring them in. Well, maybe, yeah, I think you know they probably should have had him like maybe look at the script. Hey, look, say this happened. What would you do, you know? Yeah, exactly. Get the point of the black guy. Just like, get any other point. But it was good. And I thought another kind of interesting part I thought was when he was eating the ice cream and he's like, you don't remember the ice cream I want, and then she lists all the ice creams and he tries and he's like, um, I don't like this. And then he tries it again, and he's like, oh, I like this. And I thought that was kind of reminiscent of the conversations that he's having with like, no, I completely reject this. Thinking about it, processing it, tasting it, digesting it, and then being going back for more and then being like, you know what? Actually, this is for me. Which is what we see at the end, which I thought was a nice that we see at first in the car to show, and I think that's supposed to show his character. And then we see it at the end when he's just like reflecting outside. Yeah. So I mean, I would watch the movie if you're interested, also just listening to this podcast, because we're amazing. And if you get a chance to watch any Sydney podia films like Louisville the valley or to serve with love to love, sneakers, mister tibbs, get a chance to do that because he is phenomenal phenomenal. He's like one of the best actors of his generation. Of all time. He is fantastic. So I have nothing else to add. How about you? No, I'm all set. Thank you guys for listening and catch us next time. Yeah. So if you get a chance, my book is called hodgepodge. It's on Amazon and buyers and nobles. Give it a try, give it a listen.

"And now back to the show. Kate, when was the last time you actually worked on a film where you had an extensive rehearsal process? Yeah. Oh, God. I kind of didn't think. I've kind of having one now. I'm about to work with Alfonso codon, but really it's been with it's all my accent. But it really is mostly about story and script. And all of the rest of the stuff. You have camera tests. Where you get to pull a few faces and try out your costumes, but then you just got to, I think, the only way I can do it is to say, look, I'm going to do this and if it's garbage, you tell me. And so that's the conversation I have with the director. I say, so if this is the wrong direction, I am so happy to change it. But I've got to do something. So because often it's not until you've gone in the wrong direction that you know what the right direction is. But this is often after you've had a conversation with the director about just sort of generally what the tone of it is. Like, you're not going to make some huge character swing if the general tone goal is something more subtle, something more nuanced. You get a sense of kind of what version. That's in the what is this setting? Right, because usually pretty clear whether something is going to be either campy or small. You know what the tone is. You get to know what the tone is. And I mean, often like I've done things in my over the years where, you know, because I've got a whole other life going on downstairs. So you got to try and squeeze that into the holiday period or whatever. So I would often come in after people have been shooting for three or four weeks. So if you get to see Russia's, that's back in the day, then you can get a sense of what it was doing and you can try and slot into it. But still. But still when you work on a film like nightmare alley, which is a very stylized film that has a very sort of very distinctive, yeah, but it's very distinctive point of view, stylistically, coming into that. That would be nerve wracking, or I don't know, you tell me, or is it you really know where he's going? You understand what that world is and it gives you parameters that are easy to work with in? Yeah, well, I mean, the first thing I did was say, hey, do you want to see the set? And I said, yeah. And I walked onto the set and I went, okay. This is all here. This is, I need to match this. And so that was I remember I was playing Katherine Hepburn, years ago with Scorsese directing. And he was fantastic. He said, he can be bond. You know, you're taller than her. You don't great. You don't need to wear it. You can just look like her. I mean, then I look at anything like her. So this is fine. And what I realized what he was doing is he was giving me the freedom to do as much or little physical stuff as I needed to. And what he did, though, is he showed me a whole his girl Friday and a whole lot of screwball comedies. And what he's trying to do by showing me those films is to say, that's the energy I want. And so what you do physically is up to you. But this is the energy that I need from the film. And he didn't say that, but of course that's the direction or the point is that he's offering me. So Kate, let me ask you this then, please. This is a Sean question. So forgive me, Sean, for stealing. So don't let you get it out. Yeah. So, oh no, hang on. We have to do a sidebar. Don't let you get it out. Have we gone too far? Are we love you? Should I be here? No, of course you're here. You're the catalyst for this for us being able to have this moment. Sean talked to me right now. Look at me. Look at me. Before I kept pretending I couldn't see Sean. But Kate, you have done so many things that are totally or so different. And I don't even just mean comedy or drama. Within the context of actual film and creating characters and stuff, they're so vastly different. Is there any area that you feel like I've never done that and I want to do it or I've never done that and I'm scared to go there, what is the thing that's lurking out there that you think about that you haven't done? Yeah. Honestly? I want to make cheese. Sure. Thank you, Kate. That was a great interview. Yeah. Send us a sample. I want to stop. As a limited series or. No. I just want to learn to do something. Totally different. I tried the pottery thing. And it was a bit, you know. I want to, we've got, we've got bees. And I do want to do something completely away. Right now, literally, I've seen a little bit of a documentary on cheesemaking. It does look really interesting. And you're being a little bit serious, right? I'm being totally serious. You've got cows. Wait, making cheese. And where would that be? Would it be, is it there in Europe or would it be Wisconsin? Wisconsin. We'll be right back after these messages..

"We'll before we move on from the thirties version. Can i tell you. There is another thirties. Version that is sometimes considered the fifth version of a star is born. Yeah i found out about this today. No time to watch about it. Well i found out about it a day or two ago. An i cannot find a way to watch it maybe even that flex dvd's system. It is a nineteen thirty. Two movie called what price. Hollywood is basically a very similar story of an up and coming actress and a fading alcoholic film director. He gives her career boost the difference in this version. As it is not a love story they never have romantic connection in fact sheep. Mary somebody else. And there was a point where someone considered suing because the nineteen thirty seven version sounded so similar to the nineteen thirty two movie witch. The nineteen thirty two version was directed by george couture. They asked him to direct the nineteen thirty seven version. He was like this is too similar to the movie. I made five years ago. Guess what he came back for the nineteen fifty four persian with judy garland all my goodness. That's hilarious also. George couture one of my favorite old-timey hollywood directors golden age also did my fair lady. I believe adam's rib with katherine hepburn. Lots of good stuff. So yes if you have a way to watch this movie. I would love to watch this movie. I can't find a way to do it but like maybe i can check some libraries. I even tried to see was like on youtube because a lot of these old movies are in the public domain. Now couldn't find gotta be somewhere. Unless warner brothers decided to smash. I think it's out there like you can watch clips. You can watch trailers but like when. I voice searched what price hollywood on my roku they were like. We don't know what you're talking about okay. So nineteen thirty seven version. Is your number three. It's my number two should be about newest one. I mean it's hard not to love this one the most because it's it's a modern take our time period. The pacing is faster. Because that's how we like movies. Now the music is love the soundtrack. Can we talk about shallow. Because i mean obviously.

"When you're when you're not learning the ins and outs of google. I all of us. Seo geeks do you're pursuing your insatiable passion for pop culture I saw firsthand when we at the conference in napa a baby boomer a millennial body. She's convinced her soul was born in nineteen forty-nine ask her about prince freddie mercury mercury and her extensive uncle pop collection. That's amazing. I think we were talking a little bit before the show about how my is also huge on funk. Oh pablo did the stem from your relatives that you know that. Got ingrained in you driving the back of a car. Where where did this You know Baby boomers stuck in a millennials body. Start yes so. I love it. You asked about it. I feel like my grandma finds ways to creep into every single thing that i'm doing it always really warms my heart because you know she passed away a few years ago but i always find little reminders of her. And that's really where i think it did start Is that from a very very young age. My grandma was my best friend and it didn't matter that there was a giant. You know age got between us. We just really bonded like at heart and soul and so she taught me from a very young age. So funny during my lunch break today was like scrolling through like the clark gable. Hashtag on instagram. Just what was on there. Like this was literally what i do and i think it all goes back to my grandma That like she a really cool story about her is that she was born in nineteen twenty and i also think i got my love of pop culture from her because she used to tell me back in those days when she was a teenager that you would send out for photos of your favorite stars so this would be. She loved clark gable. She loved katherine hepburn. She loved these like classic. Hollywood stars in so you would send out for like a photo from them and they would autograph it and send it back to. I was so bummed that i never found those. I'm sure they were somewhere. But i really think my love of all things older than me. Also just being very drawn to people who are older than me started with her. Because she and i just best friends. It wasn't like a typical sort of Grandparent grandchild relationship. I grew up with her. And then in addition to that you know being around my mom we were. We really like the three amigos and my mom from a very early age..

"Definitely true yes. Her friend lowly in helmet spoke in her eulogy and she said she was part of nothing. And nobody except yourself. It was this independence of mind and spirit. That was her. True distinction definitely independently. And i just wanted to also share a few quips. That she's well known for her because she is a very witty lady that she's she just said a few of these things are under life. And i was kind of chuckling as i was reading them even without context. So if you guys are familiar with the united states president calvin coolidge. He did not speak much. He was a very amana few words. Maybe like ernest hemingway. And when he died she is said to have asked. How can they tell because all these folks so little that she was like how do we even know he's dead word she actually reviewed one katherine hepburn. Who we have agreed is a great actress impressed though and she was reviewing her performance in nineteen thirty four play and she said that katherine hepburn ran the gamut of emotions from a to be. That's that's pretty good Also if you've ever heard the little couplet men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses. That's from dorothy parker. Okay i've heard that one Brevity is the soul of lingerie also from dorothy. If you wanna know what. God thinks of money just the people look at the people he gave it to now And this is a little bit sadder. I think but i think this gives you a clever way to say something in of itself but later in her life when she was talking about how she didn't really believe in her own work she said i was following in the exquisite footsteps of miss edna saint vincent malay- unhappily in my own horrible sneakers but even then she was woody when she was dissing herself so i guess she couldn't dish out. She was not dishing out what she couldn't take.

"The whole way through by the director at the end of it the moment filming stopped. The contract was over. Katherine Hepburn went over to him and spat in his safe the way that he treated Montgomery Quest in that was like that. Always like that story, but again going back. I just don't went on a huge divergence survey. The idea of finding the intimate in the ethic, I think is particularly delicious in its own way, whether it's a film like Titanic or Gladiator or just thinking of some recent ones. Um, yeah or Cleopatra or others or Then her or whatever you know, or James Bond films, even a change bond from the ambience that now it's getting now or now a as as everything is explosions and very, very fast paced cinematography, but those little rolls And in James Bond films are very important. I think the people they were very important at that post war period. Um, when men were trying to figure out really what they were what you know, out of uniform. Trying to be prosperous, raising their families, and it gave a very distorted view of manhood and masculinity. But it was a resource and one of the things about the resource I think was very attractive to people were things like you know more, for instance, where he's very well dressed for the casino scenes. Um, where there isn't any real action taking place. It's more of Ah. Reset. Sort of like to, you know, create a kind of ambiance that separates it from other types of action films, I think now The way that that those films have changed a lot. We're almost indistinguishable from other from the Tom Cruise of, uh, sounds of, um Or or anything out Cano reasons films and all that, or the rock. They all kind of like, seem like that. E think that those little lows of ambiance for very important Uh, anyway, I just wanted to say that we are all part of that mosaic. And I think that one great way to be able to, you know, appreciate that again is think about Memorial Day to think about the art of Memorial Day and how we are all integral to that, Um, a few weeks ago I introduced to you not thinking about Memorial Day it all I just wanted you to know about it. Was Alan George Newman's wonderful sculpture, The hiker, one of the 24 version. I'm sorry, 23 versions that I know of that we have in absolutely right there at the corner of Washington on and Another road, But it's right there on washed down by the grass when I saw it a few weeks ago was all sort of like overgrown which I love that sort of thing. Anyway, um I love going into places before they've been all gussied up again. And, you know, a new plaque has been put on you. You know, it's now a new museum center. Whatever I love going into these places where you get that kind of like I shouldn't be there in this attic kind of feeling. And so it's all overgrown and nobody's paying attention. I'm over them. I'm standing in front of it. And it is an absolutely beautiful work of American art. It's called The Hiker by Alan George Newman, one of 23 versions of it Copyrighted by the artist. The 1912. The first one actually was was erected in 19 4. On That's the months and Williams Proctor Arts Institute in Munich in New York. Also, the New York Historical Society has one from that year. 19 4. There was one in the in Jamestown, Virginia, for the Jamestown Exposition of 19 7. Those of the early versions. It became so popular. It's It's now pretty much over the whole country Province Order Island has one of the famous old burial ground, which goes back to the 17th century that was directed 1912 the one and it's A Landy was directed later. I think that's the last 1 1940. And it's just beautiful. It was. The scholars believe that he actually got the figure for maybe a painting or drawing by Frederic Remington, the great Western sort of like oriented artist tenants. Century 18 eighties nineties, primarily with Remington. You're looking at an art of the past when he was doing his drawings. His paintings were coming through the Rye. Who's you know his fabulous processes one in the Princeton Art Museum in New Jersey, which I think is one of the best versions of it. It's wonderful. Corcoran Gallery of Art also had one in Washington, DC, which that might be part of the National Gallery's collection. Now, because a lot of that collection of the Corcoran cool in a closed it was absorbed by the National Gallery. But those two versions were wanted for coming through the Rye. But when he was when he was creating that heart That West was basically, you know. In the stories in the literature, the popular literature that time it was, it was already becoming passe was romanticized, but everything was changing. You know what I mean? The mistakes have been made with native Americans. I mean, just the whole thing that we're dealing with still today that we'll have been set in motion. Um, also the settlement of towns, the railroads, everything the country had been knitted together. It was a very romanticized version of America that we see in those Reddington. They were severally Jack in their own way when they were made, Um in a way. So is this sculpture of again with one little element of the mosaic, One soldier representing the whole American effort 18 98 during the Spanish American War. But it could stand for pretty much all our wars. It is a wonderful, wonderful work, So I sort of like, use that, I guess maybe is a precursor to what I'm talking about today. Um, so I just wanted to continue with that to talk about Memorial Day, Which is, you know was inaugurated may 30th 18 68, And I think it was celebrated, Um, on may 30th up until about I was about maybe 1940 or something like that for a very long time. Now we have, you know, May 31st. It's gonna be on Monday. Um But it's a great time for us to be able to think about. You know our place in America about the heart. I think that in places that have inspired us sacrifices of those around us the knows who went before us, and I just wanted to talk a little about those works of art..

"I hope you're having a wonderful holiday and thank you. Ah, corner of the weekend. To be able to talk about what we always talk about is that you know I'm in your living room, You know, Sure, I imposed myself there and they're very, very comfortable in your living room and you're overstuffed chair and we are talking a really great thing. Great conversation, the art going by us in a fabulous procession. That we can talk about where they are relevant to us. The beauty that we find it the challenges that we find in Oh, I don't like it. But what do you have to say about it? All that sort of thing. You know, you're not supposed to like. All art just because something is old. You're not supposed to like that. You're not supposed to like it Just because it's new. You know, the whole idea is to develop your own catalog of inspirations, artistic inspirations, and I hope Those inspirations encouraged you to do you know we can never be taken away, which is unique to you, and that is what you create, whether it's in the arts or whatever it is or becoming a better manager of work. Whatever, whenever we sort of lose ourselves in doing well. That is genius. I remember my stepfather telling me when you know sometimes I wasn't always Paul, that great taking instructions or wanting to do chores and stuff like that. For some reason, I always had the vacuuming to do and all the weeding. I don't know about you. Boy. Oh, boy, I did not like doing weeding. First of all, I got poison ivy very easily, which would always get to me by that night. On. That was just one of the tours. I would try to avoid one way or the other. But when I was interested in something, remember my father looking to me building something in the garage and I was running back and forth for some reason, the wood was on one end of the property. And you know the trestles. Whatever I was working on, they were in the other and I was hammering this thing together, going back and getting more wood running back to the garage going back again, and he looked at me. So efficiency obviously was not my strong point. Why I didn't put the woodpile next to where I was working. I don't know. But anyway, he saw that and he said, You know what? When you are doing what you really like to do. You don't really see anything else. You're completely in the zone. And you know that's that's true. That's what it is. And if you ever find yourself in that kind of a situation with what you're doing, That is what you do. At least it's one of the things you do best. And you need to try to get into that zone as much as you can just show in its own way tries to encourage you to do that. Well, what are we going to talk about today? I mean, obviously, we have to talk about Memorial Day. You know, I think with the beautiful weather that we have it, you know, And I'm not talking about just the sunny weather. I'm talking about that beautiful misty rain we've had to and what it looks like in the early mornings. The full moon that we had a few now it zwane ng. But boy was that absolutely beautiful neck. I read that it was perhaps the brightest moon that we would encounter may be in our lifetimes now. Honestly, I've got to tell you I'm used to the full moon and I love the shadows that puts on a property on the lawn and trees at night times almost like the Adams family when they're going to get in, you know, Moon bathing or something like that. I mean, So a really nice full moon. I love it and all that. I've got to tell you, though, that the full moon from the other day it didn't seem like the brightest full moon I've ever seen. I mean, it was beautiful. But I wouldn't say that everything was lit up like a spotlight. But they say it was the brightest one. You know, probably the rest of my lifetime. I don't know, but it was beautiful. And I think that the weather that we've been having Have maybe princess in that contemplative Zone where we are thinking about that are our own lives, but but also the lives of those who have touched us. And with Memorial Day. Um you know, with its focus being on those who gave their lives for us in all our wars, all our conflicts. The people who've served the people who served on the front lines and the people who served back at home to make sure that the front lines were supplied. Um it's a national effort and I think all too often we forget about our part. In the national creation. Um, we think so much about in also in and how information is presented to us. To mass customization. Um it's very nice to sink and I think rejuvenating to think, uh, every now and then about you know, we can't see ourselves unnecessarily in it, but we're all part of that mosaic. We lose ourselves in it when and that's what it's supposed to happen. You know what we lend ourselves to with our work? Sarah thought the way we touch people, the people around us. No, that adds to that mosaic. We don't see ourselves, but we do see the manifestation of the off. And you know, I like the big picture, right? I like. For instance, I like epic films for some reason. Epic films. It's very easy for me to see the intimate story to identify with the intimate story within an epic film, whether it's Cleopatra from 1963, which is a movie should be made about that. Anyway, you know, I have not seen and have not seen the movie about the director of that of that cell. Mangle it. Um, he was great with a screenwriter. He was kind of like a producer. He was a director. Also, he was a jack of all trades at the top of Hollywood. He could also be a very difficult Person. I think he was the director at the end of, um suddenly last summer in the late fifties, which had Katherine Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor Montgomery Clift. He treated Montgomery Clift, who had had his terrible accident, so he was disfigured, and he was no longer the sort of sex symbol icon that he had been a few years before, Like a place in the sun, for instance, in 1951, and that sort of thing, so he had been through an accident that almost killed him kind of like with target would suffered recently with his legs, and he's in this film called Suddenly last summer, he's working with Michael. It's anus. Idealist cast. You know the fact that the film itself is kind of a trial to sort of figure out what's really going on. And why is this important and I think it's almost like just simply a modernist film I mean with the French were doing with the NuWave. I think this was kind of like almost our version of it. So you don't always get it the first time you see it, but his performance was Was very, very good like it always is in this film, but somehow he had.

"Every year but a and she's she's witty she stylish. She likes to drink which certainly affects many librarians. I know Dresses you know super smart and stylish and You know i think how can you not love dot kind of character played by katherine hepburn is like it. It's amazing and the film is is great and oversee our romance between eventual romance between katherine hepburn and spencer tracy character. But it's also interesting that it kind of feels kind of film story that you would retail again today because it's about a computer system. Tracy is a is a expert and he's brought in this computer system that is the librarians. Fair is going to replace them so this this computer that can answer all these questions for you in half the time and the idea is like everything's getting more efficient and it's i think the film came out in nineteen fifty four so i think i can. I can give spoilers without upsetting anyone but they in the ending is is actually the the idea that the computer is there to help them do a better job not replace them. And and there's a great scene towards the end where he's trying to show how the computer is as answering questions and they ask something about corfu and it translates this curfew and then starts to reel off this. This very long poem called. The curfew must not ring tonight. Which of course. Bunny watson the librarian can quote from memory. 'cause she's like what are these kind of super smart librarians which is a deadly trope in this style. Of course he's right. Everything is exactly which we all all day. we'll see pixelbook and but but the computer first of all miss translates this from corfu. Too few and then won't stop the poem until it's got to the end. It's like yeah exactly exactly that you could that today. Right with alexa. I even down to the fact that the computer called emmy short but it takes the part of the idea of the of the computer. Is that for the spencer tracy character. It's cut up a replacement woman or or you know. The concern is that he'll never love a woman as much as he loves the computer and at it but yeah it it just you could pick it up i think and replay it now with and you'd have the same things right. The the concern that computers might take our jobs zoll. somehow devalue skilled professionals and and at the same time like as ing but they have these terrible short comings that you just you know the the. Make life a nightmare. It's like you know whether that's this. This film. all the microsoft paper clip pippi or alexei. Know all serious understanding. There's nothing my kids like more than than shouting stuff at siri for it to misunderstand. The mito that's hilarious. And so yeah. I mean she's an amazing character and like very obviously really Lots of positive characteristics although she's hopeless in love life and they're they're aspects of character may be less conrad admirable. But but you know it's Yeah i just love it. It's really really funny. Recommend what year Especially if you like. That kind of screwball comedy thing. Which which i do. And it's also interesting like another pep in film philadelphia story which is also really worth watch with cary grant and jimmy stewart and in that there's a librarian character not by heaven but but this is the kind of stereotype of a shushing strict. And and i think this is kind of from hepburn. it's kind a nice counterbalanced to that. Like a really positive Representation of amazing woman who's Librarian is heard. I think again her calling her job. She can't imagine doing anything else. Fantastic well from that. I'm gonna go mineable. One then is horace well. This is the the rumored is is horace warble hat but he is the librarian of the library at unseen university in multiple on the discworld yet. He's also a time Don't call him a monkey on my list as well though fabulous. So yeah yeah i mean. I was speaking to mike from a few weeks ago. Valerie patterson we were speaking about point and click adventure games on. Listen to it just On friday yeah fantastic. Yeah so you've already talk about the The barron and of course. I think i might have mentioned that. I was gonna take this character Absolutely wonderful to play with. And i feel like with puffy more well drawn in the games stan in the books read quite a few And he's i think he's. He's a big character in the games. He's a significant character in the game. Right i think less so in the in the books yeah. I think the interesting thing about the books that he appears in a lot of them and like with yes sometimes with the pivotal role. But but he's not he's never the main character. It's kind of you know. And i guess i can only say ooh core eke pretty much which also i love like the the similarities degroot. I am the the gardens of the galaxy films and comics whatever but but yeah the nothing terry practice said something like you know. It's hard to to write a story. Where the protagonist internal monologue is like entirely made of oop sneaks. But yeah i mean. I think and i think that one of the interesting things is the he is so well drawn. Despite you know despite you limit those limitations not played the game so i. i don't know what it's like everybody's liking the game buddy in the in the books you've definitely feel him as a character presence even though it's kind of minimal. It's not like he has a lot of characteristics that you can kinda say a limited like. Don't call me a monkey. I like bananas and peanuts and beer and and loves being librarian and books all the that ending the scale. The shell exactly and like the convenience of being ranting in that in that a environment magic library where the books khanna quite dangerous Yes yeah yeah. He's he's a he's a obstreperous. If that's the right word he's a good a good grumpy librarian Which which i think is is what you need in the discworld Y- in the games you as rinse when you interact with him and.

Why Do People Talk Weird in Old Movies?
"Ever heard old movies or newsreels from the thirties or forties, then you've probably heard that weird old timey voice. You know it sounds something like this now. SEE HIM MR weather's being. There's no money in dog racing. The future is radio. You HAMMY radio. It sounds a little like a blend between American English and a form of British English so. So what is this cadence exactly? This type of pronunciation is actually called the transatlantic or mid Atlantic accent and it isn't like most other accents. Instead of naturally evolving the transatlantic accent was acquired. This means that people in United States were taught to speak in this voice, historically transatlantic speech was the hallmark of Aristocratic, America and theater in Upper Class, boarding schools across New England students learn the transatlantic. As an international norm for communication similar to the way posh. British society used received pronunciation essentially. That's the way the Queen and Aristocrats are taught to speak. It has several quasi British elements such as a lack of rotisserie this means that mid. Atlantic, speakers drop their R's at the end of words like Winna or Klay. They'll also use softer British vowels Danz instead of dance, for instance, another thing that stands out is the emphasis on clipped sharp tease. Tease in American English. We often pronounce the T. in words like writer or water as dis, transatlantic speakers will hit that t like stole something writer water, but again. This speech pattern isn't completely British, nor is it really completely American instead? It's a form of English that's hard to place, and that's part of why Hollywood loved it. There's also a theory that technological constraints helped mid Atlantic's popularity according to professor J, O Beer Ski, this nasal early clipped. Clipped pronunciation is a vestige from the early days of radio receivers had very little based technology. At the time. It was very difficult, if not impossible to hear bass tones on your home device. Now we live in an age where based technology booms from the trunks of cars all across America, so what happened to the transatlantic accent was? It's no longer the common tongue of elite boarding schools linguist. William lab notes that mid Atlantic speech fell out of. Of favour after World War Two as fewer teachers continued teaching the pronunciation to their students. That's one of the reasons. This speech sound so old timing to us today when people learn it, they're usually learning it for acting purposes rather than for everyday use. However, we can still hear the effects of mid Atlantic speech in recordings of everyone from Katherine Hepburn to Franklin D Roosevelt, and of course, countless films, newsreels and radio shows from the thirties and forties.

Former U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power Discusses Her Journey
"For me to have said one day I'm going to be. UN Ambassador Would Have Been As far fetched as saying. I was going to be on the moon one day out but it didn't mean that I went back to to college and I began to do other things apart from sports. I made myself vulnerable. When into my classes with more diligence with more of a willingness to feel dumb which is never anybody's favorite thing to feel And so by the end of my time in college applied for a different kind of internship at a foreign policy think tank in in Washington called the Carnegie Endowment Somehow got that internships to internships changed my life And the second one which was a year long internship. Right out of college. College was with somebody. Who'd been in the? US government for thirty five years as a diplomat a senior diplomat. So here I was being mentored by him My Name of course is Samantha. He called me Susan the entire year so he didn't really know practiced. It did not necessarily it but in working for him watching his reaction to anything that was happening news. It was always what can be done. And what can I now out of government. An in this weird think tank world. What can I use my little perch to try to make happen? And so from there. I worked there for a year. I began to become immersed in what was happening in Bosnia and after my year with him a decided to try to move to Bosnia Because I was a liberal arts major I of course had no skills Dell's Other than having been a sports reporter and so the one job the one path to get over there and to learn more and to again figure out how to apply. Hi this way of thinking that I'd kind of internalized from him which was what do you do about something. I felt. I had to go there and this think tank was in the same building as US News and World Report. Everything is a combination of serendipity. Suppose and stubbornness marched in one of those Katherine Hepburn Moments. I walked into the Chief of Correspondents Office and I said I WANNA go. And be a stringer for you. A freelance correspondent for you ended up making my way over the Balkans just with a kind of tentative commitment. Mytton from him that he'd take my phone calls and then once they're a group of young mainly women freelance correspondents just embrace me and taught me the ways as of the roads. It was the opposite of everything. I'd heard about cutthroat journalism. The war itself was terrible of course but the community was very nurturing and so why was there for two years decided after a couple years of then breaking through and writing for The Washington Post and the economist and the New Republican other very high profile publications locations. I thought you know even at the height of my career. This is the best I'll be doing. I'LL JUST BE A. I'll have health insurance and be doing exactly this and so I thought maybe I should dedicate myself to doing more than just writing about these events and so I came back to America in one thousand nine hundred five and I went to law school school thinking that maybe one day. I could be at The Hague prosecuting the people who were carrying out these kinds of crimes. While in law school I decided to put the experience. I just had in a larger historical context and I looked into the other cases of genocide and mass atrocity. That had occurred in the twentieth century. Ones I knew very little all about going in in law school for a class. I wrote a paper on American responses to the major genocides of the twentieth century. That paper was so long and I decided I'm almost book length and took a year off working fulltime wants. I graduated from law school but continued to work on this book. It took me five years. Publish the book. One of the people who read the book was Senator Barack Obama who had just won his Senate seat in two thousand four. He reached out to me in two thousand five. I went and had dinner with him Eh. US I did. Because I'd seen his convention speech I've been very taken by him and I had been very apolitical in my life prior to go into Bosnia and it was the first two thousand four. The presidential election was the first I'd really been invested in and John Kerry had lost to prison Bush despite the invasion of Iraq and torture. And and so I've been pretty crushed in the wake of the two thousand four election to see what I thought were really problematic practices seemingly being affirmed by the election and yet there was this bright spot in Barack Obama when he reached out his scheduler. Said you know next time you're in Washington. I'm like oh I just have might have it if they have got to be Washington very soon. Thank you very much are kind of style. We like a little a little creative license so I met him for dinner and as soon as I sat down with him and he started carded grilling me on my work. I asked him was he going to run for president and he's like no way with that be. I just got here. There's a lot in a narrow going to pick apart. I want to go back to your childhood. And how you Garoppolo. You mentioned being an immigrant and I want you to take us through. Your childhood was like so I went to a Catholic Girls School in Dublin Ireland. My mother was an amazing athlete. As well as has a very determined would be physician she had been told teenager that there was no place for girls. It's or women in medicine and so she had been diverted from her dream of becoming a doctor and had gone and gotten basic science degree and then a PhD in biochemistry but all she ever really wanted to do was treat patients and he'll people so she late in life went back to medical school so in my childhood while I was at my Catholic school she was was doing all the grueling rounds of medical school she was just one of these miracle jugglers still managed. I felt to be very present for me Eh but just one foot in front of the other extremely determined women to this day. She runs the kidney transplant. Department at Mount Sinai in New York she seventy-six instill treating patients. If you of your listeners. Have Kidney Issues Vera Delaney. Is Her name again. Don't tell her I sent you. That's my mother. And my father was wonderfully loving in many ways live for me and my younger brother but was an alcoholic and as I got older as child his drinking got worse for me. He had had a benefit. If you can even say that which was he would collect me from school. Bring me to the pub. I spent more hours than I can. even begin to remember at the pub with him which has all of the negatives associated with that of course but also meant that I was just a few steps away from my dad at all times. The things that I was struck by what you wrote in the book was your parents did not have a terrific marriage and you were open about that and and I would love for you to talk about. How growing up non environment as you talk about being exposed to very adult things with your dad how that shaped you for a career in diplomacy well my first diplomatic gambits were a big failure In so far as so many children would do. Oh my fantasy was to broker some kind of reconciliation between my parents not really able to comprehend what the drink drink can do. When somebody is addicted to anything? How much more powerful that would be than anybody's diplomatic overtures especially that of a seven year old or eight year old but I really as a kid I think just pined For a more traditional family life one where I could have my brother my father my mother together in one place. We came when I was nine to this country and my father when we went back as part of the visitation rights. He tried to keep us and and in a dramatic scene. Christmas Eve nineteen seventy nine. When I again was nine? My mother came in and effectively. Pulled my brother and me Out from under my father and said if you WANNA see the kids you're gonNA have now come to America. My father then didn't come couldn't come couldn't get his act together the other two come he'd have been the first to say and then died very suddenly and so I think the real lasting legacy for me which I do. Try To unpack is what does it mean to carry with you. A sense of responsibility or a sense of guilt and kids exaggerate their agency. Think of themselves weirdly right as both both small and dependent on their parents but also as larger than life as if they have all of this power and thus if they quote unquote failed to save somebody that somehow it's on them. We look at your book which is sitting next to me right now. The education of an idealist. I'm struck by how you were able to construct idealism awesome as such an important part of your identity when you had a really rough childhood and you then after going through school chose does a career path where you saw really horrific things that this world can produce and I think for a lot of people that can go through that and have a Lotta anger or they could be depressed by that. But you didn't do those things and instead really shaped who you are. How does that identity come to be? How do you reconcile that screw question? I think that Mydeal ISM has never taken the form of believing that the world is an inherently. Aren't we just place. I think it's my idealism is of the form I suppose of. Should we try to make things better and I think while it's true. I had this trauma in my childhood. The trauma of the rupture my parents marriage initially and then and the sudden catastrophe for any child of losing my father who I love so much but I always for some reason also had a sense of my good fortune in here I was in America. Everything was big and shiny and there was more of everything. I didn't have the same anxiety that we had economically as a family in Ireland is so many families did but I think you know to a lot of people have today an impulse. which is Gosh? The world's really messed up. I want to do do something about it to me. That's idealism it's it's not that the you see the world through rose colored glasses not that you see things as trending right now in in the right direction I mean whether it's climate change or mass migration inequality me too. There's just so much messed up but I guess I did have in my mother a model of someone who just got on with it she just put one foot in front of the other and so I think my feeling has always been. I'm lucky even if I've had some unlucky chapters and how am I gonNa put my good fortune to use because there are other people who don't have the platforms that I have who don't have the voice the microphone in front of me as I do right now and I don't know where that glass half full versus half empty approach comes from but very quickly in my professional life. I began to see people who are making a difference and so I think on one level even. If I wasn't always making the difference that I saw to make I always tried to focus on on those who were and to say look. There is a path I may not be on it right now. What I'm I'm banging my head against the wall but I have always gravitated toward stories of people who have found a way to transcend stiff
