Fox's performance He was a well-known TV star But he was not the first choice Eric Stoltz was They even did a few shots with their external which I think you can find on YouTube now This was the film that confirmed a future in movies for Michael J. Fox What did you think of his performance I thought his character was really cool Because he has a kind of nerdy voice So you think he's kind of nerdy and he sees pound around with this weird mad scientist played by Christopher Lloyd But he's also really cool He has this really hot girlfriend and he plays the guitar and obviously a sign of any cool teenager is that the principal hates him you know and I feel like a lot of kids probably growing up watching him probably thought well yeah maybe I sound like a nerd but maybe I can get the hot girl like Marty McFly Is the central comic character Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown Yes I'd seen a Lloyd previously in one flew over the cuckoos nest And honestly he's kind of this role isn't too far off from that role as far as playing this guy who definitely feels a little bit unhinged But he's just so watchable Like just his energy you know he's kind of like vibrating on the screen I was kind of shocked when they just killed him off in the first act with it was Libby and terrorist I did not You might know the history but I did not expect Libyan terrorists to show.

"I've been listening to the newest season of still processing. This is a pop culture podcast with Wesley Morris end and a worth of The New York Times. Obviously they don't need any more flowers for me. They are, well, lauded. But I really enjoyed this newest season. There's been an episode about fatal attraction and it's like influence in the culture have been episode about method acting and this has been upset about athletes in movies. And to me, what kind of connects them is that these are all examples of things that the movies once did and once appreciated that is kind of going by the wayside under the onslaught of Disney and marvel, there have been tons of conversations about the lack of sex and movies now and also there have been a lot of misunderstandings about what method acting is and how that can be used in adult movies. So I thought about still processing when I was thinking about Top Gun: Maverick because kind of connects all these things. It's just what was once such an essential part of movie going that is now kind of going away. But yeah, still processing, I've been really enjoying. Wonderful. Thank you, Mark rivers, daisy Rosario, what's making you happy this week? Well, I've got two and the first one is, you know, I'm kind of in Eurovision withdrawal. I just miss it when it wraps up. It's a lot of fun. So I just wanted to mention the really fun compilations that fans make on YouTube. There are so many great ones and it's especially fun which if you're not completely aware of Eurovision, which I don't know how you listen to pop culture happy hour and don't know about it at this point. But you have different commentators depending on what country you're watching. And so we had Johnny weir on peacock, but it was very fun to be able to just go on and people made compilations of Graham Norton's BBC coverage. And it's so clever and just silly and funny. And you can just watch a ten minute video and just giggle through it. And so that was a real joy. I specifically of two because my second one is something that I always end up talking about when it's back, which is RuPaul's Drag Race hall stars. Okay. This is the all winners season of all stars. So this is serious. And they've changed the format. There was just the premiere a week ago. It's on paramount plus, so they dropped two episodes, none of the queens will be leaving. It is going to be like a point structure. And the first two episodes were so great that I am just counting down the days till the next episode I can not wait. It is. Yes, it is just a tier. I just want Jada essence hall to know that she is a real winner of season 12, even though she won in the pandemic, she needs to know. We love her. Here here. Thank you, daisy. Aisha Harris, what's making you happy this week?.

"Top Gun first hit theaters all the way back in 1986 and starred Tom Cruise as a cocky fighter pilot who trains in an elite military program. Now there's finally a sequel. Tom Cruise returns to train a new generation of pilots. I'm Aisha Harris. And I'm Steven Thompson. Today we are talking about Top Gun: Maverick on pop culture happy hour from NPR. Here with ayesha and me is morning edition producer Mark river is welcome back, Mark. Thank you for having me on this most important episode of pop culture happy hour. And also here is daisy Rosario. She's a podcast producer and storyteller you may have heard on the moth radio hour. Welcome back, daisy. Hey, thanks for having me. Always a pleasure. So in case you haven't seen the original Top Gun, there is one 36 year old spoiler you need to know in that film, Tom Cruise plays hotshot navy pilot Pete maverick Mitchell, who flies a training mission in which his friend goose is killed, leaving behind a wife and young son. In Top Gun: Maverick, we pick up the story decades later. Maverick is working as a test pilot, but he hasn't risen far up the military ranks partially because of his hotshot ways and partially because he still wants to fly. Soon he's enlisted to train a new batch of young pilots for a seemingly impossible, extremely dangerous, high stakes mission. Those young pilots all have lessons to learn, but so does maverick himself, as he must figure out what to do about one of those young pilots, Bradley rooster, Bradshaw, goose is now adult son, played by Miles Teller. Along the way, we get lots of training missions, bonding exercises, blasts from the past. Maverick gets a new love interest in a bar owner played by Jennifer Connelly, but valko returns as iceman, an old rival whose long since become a trusted confidant. We also get Ed Harris and John Hamm is grizzled officers who don't trust mavericks, unorthodox techniques, as well as flashy new recruits like Phoenix, played by Monica barbaro, payback, played by Jay Ellis, and hangman, played by Glenn Powell..

"It is so nice to see both you and Mark again. I'm thrilled to be here on the occasion of X I'm glad to have this little team back together. So X falls into a lot of traditional horror movie patterns. You've got a mixed group of free spirited libertines. They descend on a creepy and isolated space. They're set upon by a bloodthirsty villain or villains, people die in spectacularly grisly fashion, but as directed by ty west and shot by Elliott rocket, X has an already stylish feel as well as larger points to make about filmmaking aging exploitation and sex, set in 1979, X stars Mia goth as Maxine minx, an ambitious actress who plans to use porn as a springboard to the stardom she feels she deserves. The crew that accompanies her includes her fellow actors Bobby Lin and Jackson, played by Brittany snow and Scott muscati, that's the rapper Kid Cudi, and Maxine's slick producer boyfriend Wayne, played by Martin Henderson, their director RJ played by Owen Campbell wants to elevate the art of adult filmmaking kind of the way X wants to elevate the art of horror filmmaking, but his girlfriend Lorraine, played by Jenna Ortega, is skeptical. Then there's the mysterious elderly couple at the film's center, pearl is played by Mia goth in copious makeup, while Howard is played by Stephen yore. They have a complicated relationship to say the least X came out in theaters in March is now available to rent on demand. Mark rivers, I'm going to start with you. What did you think of X? I kind of loved it..

equitable and sustainable future and the Abe and Ida Cooper foundation commemorating Fred Cooper by supporting public radio programming that highlights issues including diversity racism equality anti semitism and sexism It's morning edition from NPR news I'm Stevens keep And I'm a Martinez The international community is debating whether Russian atrocities in Ukraine amount to genocide President Biden's recent use of the word was part of a long-standing global conversation over what to call human rights atrocities and what to do about them 28 years ago this month Hutu militias in Rwanda armed primarily with machetes and clubs began murdering their fellow countrymen mostly tutsis Meanwhile by mid July nearly a million tutsis and moderate hutus had been killed The world did not intervene Philip govich writes for The New Yorker he's also the author of a bestselling nonfiction travelogue We wish to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed with our families stories from Rwanda Spoke with our co host lela fatel The killing began on April 6th 7th and within weeks hundreds of thousands had been killed Rwanda's small it's important to keep in mind that Rwanda is about the size of say West Virginia And it had a population of about 7 and a half million people when this started So you had a complete decimation within a very short period of time And yet the world did nothing in these weeks I mean there were Belgian forces in UN peacekeepers in Rwanda at the time If you could just talk about what happened to them One of the very first moves was that the perpetrators of the genocide are generally known as Hutu power That was sort of the name of the movement They killed some Belgian peacekeepers in the first days And Belgium's response was to withdraw the force And the United States which of course is always a very big power on the Security Council The Clinton administration was smarting from its tobacco and Somalia With black hat down Black Hawk down the Somalia killing of American soldiers in the streets and there was this idea that Clinton had come in saying we're going to be robust post Cold War peacekeepers and had completely reversed course to saying we don't want to get involved in any of this sort of thing But also therefore because we also want to lead the world Nobody else should unless we do So it became a kind of stalling by all the global powers And when people debate whether there's a genocide in Ukraine the terminology was defined after the Holocaust in a UN resolution and it was always understood that if you saw a genocide happening that it carried a burden in an obligation to take preventative action Now that doesn't always mean military but it certainly means very very very intense response For that reason America went and many others were very reluctant to call it genocide And that's so different than what we're seeing today when the U.S. speaks about Ukraine There has been military aid being funneled into Ukraine although many saying it's not enough Why the difference There are a lot of reasons I would say that it is as geostrategic off everybody's radar as Ukraine is on it on the front lines of NATO and Putin's power You have a nuclear power with a person who is dedicated to destabilizing the post Cold War Order there was no sense that like we get involved in wars in Africa except as proxy wars during the Cold War which was now over I also am curious about your take on the media coverage of these two very different moments obviously one an invasion one a Civil War but my producer Mark rivers look through NPR's archives and found only 19 stories related to the killings in Rwanda from April to August 1994 I mean on morning edition alone we've already exceeded that amount on Ukraine by a lot as we enter month two of the war Does that number surprise you The difference It always shocks me because it is one of the defining events in the late 20th century It was very much under reported The way I see it is the attention that's being given Ukraine is merited Right And it should be that way elsewhere When I was in Ukraine I was struck by the same thing how merited the coverage was But how different It is and how merited it is in other places for other people and isn't the same or hasn't been the same The really striking thing to me is when you have mass atrocity and communal violence and sort of systematic killing of civilians and so forth In an African Civil War or conflict you have people sort of saying my goodness this is what happens in these places Right And when I hear about Ukraine I hear so many people saying I can not believe in the 21st century We are seeing such a thing in Europe What did I miss that happened Since the last time this happened in Europe and the time before that the time before that and the time before that in this century What makes people think that this is not something European people do Yeah I want to ask you about the impact you mentioned the way that Ukraine has been covered seen as central in a battle with Russia and NATO and at the time there was a sense in the U.S. that the Rwandan genocide didn't affect the average American While today we often hear of the global impact of the war in Ukraine what was in fact the impact of their Wanda genocide worldwide Once the immediate violence of extermination inside Rwanda in those months was over you had a massive movement basically Hutu power changed its sort of orders to the Hutu population that it could influence from kill to flee So they're basically bolted and said we're going to come back after regrouping and refugee camps And the world then went in to support these camps and to support the refugees Leaving the survivors really quite untended But then you have more than a decade of wars that mostly took place outside of Rwanda the war continued inside Rwanda with infiltrations from Congo And those wars continued for a long time at terrible cost and suffering mostly to the Congolese people And there also was a kind of geopolitical consequence which was this realization that there was this de linking of a certain sense of obligation to atrocity Many people say oh the lesson of Rwanda must be that we will respond better next time But really what the lesson was clear was that much of the world people who depend on the west anyway for protection are unprotected

Thank you so much, Shay Vasser, what's making you happy this week? So every winter, I like to revisit some of my favorite books. So this year I've been diving into the secret history by Donna tartt. So it follows a transfer student who goes to a college in the northeast and gets involved with murder. If you don't buy into the story and kind of the elite Ness of that tart creates through the narrator's perspective, the book won't work for you, but I also don't know many people that don't buy into it just because tart's writing is so good. Her sentence structure and just the way that she creates atmosphere. I could go on about it. But yeah, I think this is my third time reading it and definitely one that I recommend. An oldie but goodie. So that's the secret history by Donna tartt. Thank you so much, Shea Vassar Mark rivers, what is making you happy this week? Steven Soderbergh's Kimi, which just came out on HBO Max. I feel like at this stage in his career, he's just become morally opposed against making bad movies. I think he's in a really good run. I think this is one of his better recent movies. So it stars Zoë Kravitz. It takes to kind of conspiracy thriller vibe of movies.

"So that's a business perspective and by the way rates let's also the pakistani government's perspective more or less. They want to look at the world more through an economic lens and they do see new possibilities in this new situation. What about just people. Though steve sell many afghans are still so desperate to get out of the country. Yeah in pakistan is helping some people who are in afghanistan. the country has said they're gonna let people from afghanistan so long as they have documents to travel onward to someplace else. We met for example an afghan doctor who was allowed to cross over to pakistan. Because he says he can re- relocate to germany pakistan is not allowing refugees. Who want to stay here because they already have millions of refugees from four decades of war. But i should note that it appears that some refugees are are getting in. It's widely believed that at different border-crossing west of where we were is easier to pass through and it is possible to find newly arrived afghans in pakistani cities so this region is going to continue to change.

"National rifle association had planned to celebrate. Its one hundred fiftieth anniversary this weekend. Yeah instead for the second year in a row. The nra is cancelling annual meeting in houston of the corona virus pandemic. It's one more setback for an organization that faces multiple financial and legal problems following allegations of misconduct by its leadership. Npr investigative correspondent to. Mac joins us now. Tim bring us up to speed. Exactly what kind of trouble is the. Nra and right now so over the last two years. The national rifle association has faced litany of challenges so that includes congressional investigations board resignations internal infighting and allegations of financial misconduct. And all of this culminated in an effort by new york attorney. General latisha james to dissolve the organization. She's accused nra executives including ceo wayne lapierre of improper spending tens of millions of dollars for things like luxurious meals private jet travel and exotic vacations and in an attempt to hold the march of james's litigation. The nra tried to file for bankruptcy but that bid was rejected. All of this has really frustrated. Many of the nra's own members. Like ron carter. Who helps lead saved the second. A group of nra members that is seeking accountability within their organization members have been leaving in droves as a result of the not only negligence but perhaps pillaging and plundering of the association by the nra leadership now rising cova cases of force the nra to cancel their convention. Of how important is this. I mean what kind of impact will that have. Well as we've mentioned here it's the second cancellation in as many years. And this is significant. Monetary cost for the organization. Here's steve metavsky. He's the founder of the reload. that's a pro second amendment gun issue's publication. I think it has a very real impact on their finances. Specifically because the nra annual meeting is the largest fundraising event of the year for this group. D nra annual. Meeting is also a place for the group to showcase its large membership and support from powerful politicians. That won't happen now. As a result of this cancellation and members who are seeking accountability from the group's executives like ron carter. They won't be able to meet and challenge these executives in person like they've done in the past in two thousand nineteen for example. A group of nra members revolted on the floor of the convention seeking to oust existing leadership art. So they've got financial and legal trouble. So what does this mean. Then for the nra's future the nra is down but not out. It has radically cut costs over the last two years. Spending is down forty three percent compared to a presidential cycle for example in two thousand sixteen. The nra was a key contributor to donald. Trump's presidential win it was unable to match that level of spending in twenty twenty when trump lost but the nra has been able to bring costs down in line with planning revenues these revenues that dropped as the nra became more cheaply trapped in these scandals that we've been talking about. Here's an assessment by brian. Middendorp he's an accounting professor at ohio state university financially. Speaking i would say it is sustainable. So what we might see is an nra that will continue to exist just with a smaller footprint and fewer resources that's npr investigative reporter. Tim mack tim thanks a lot. Thank you.

"And tibet. Being the sort of empty place on the map two hundred years ago it got filled in with lines marking rivers trails and mountains by the pundits. But when you think about when we imagined tabet isn't very much our own and what china thinks about when imagines to that is very much. It's and it's all of these things that lie at the heart of the enormous discord and enormous sensitivity. That really animates this issue. And sometimes i think you know batons in this country. Some of them are pretty remote from tibet itself as well. He came in one thousand nine hundred fifty nine and haven't been back in a certain sense as always. Tibet is more in our imaginations than in reality. This isn't to say that china did there and is doing. There is not an abomination not hideous beyond description one of the great tragedies of this century in my view. It's only to say that hollywood is powerful medicine and on hollywood gets involved. Things tend to gain a life of their own. That really has very little to do with reality. And it's also say that tibet always had this evocative power for those of us in the west. Who who are interested. Everybody dreamed tabet very few people actually knew it well and those who did know it well in a certain sense also fed into the dream just as heinrich cars seven years. Tibet also became a basic sort of dna building. Block of all the fantasies that are being created now by the movies. They're not bad at all. I mean in a certain sense. It's wonderful the tabet. We'll get this attention but it's simply to say that to bet. His really escaped many of the corrales. Which once was confined and his gotten off into popular culture and many people in hollywood are become very infatuated with tibet tibetan buddhism. Some very serious very good people. I can't really explain to you. Why each of them is It's very difficult to sort of intrude and understand why religions meaning to fold anybody. It's a very personal thing but suffice it to say that we are in a in an age a period where tibet has really captured armando and is influencing. I think in very subtle but profound ways the way we look at it the way we look at china and certain sense the way we are leading our own lives. Well i think we'll stop here. I thank you all for coming..

So there's a there's a There's a Scholarly paper that was published in 2000 and 12 in a journal called The International Journal of Law and Psychiatry and the title was Why did so many German doctors joined the Nazi party early? And, uh, what it said was and support my tell you about this because I'm gonna tell you something about something that's going on with your doctors. This paper basically said physicians may have been especially predisposed to ascend to the authority of the Nazi regime because there were many abstract of practical objections. Objectives and orientations that the regime appeared to share with the medical profession. These commonalities included instilling a culture of conformity and obedience. Preventing contamination. Providing a partial solution to the dread of helplessness in the face of existential problems. And an interest in biology, science and research and bio medical knowledge. What does that sound like to you? Sounds like what we just are going through with Cove. It So the AM a the other day. Comes out with a paper. Where they embrace critical race theory and rejects meritocracy in terms of the educating of doctors. Let that one sink it. Let that one sink in. The air may is tremendously influential over medical schools and teaching hospitals and they train that you know those of the institutions that train our doctors and our other health professionals. They're saying they must reject meritocracy. Which they say is a harmful narrative that ignores the inequitably distributed social structural political resource. So in other words, Scoring on test isn't going to matter anymore the ability to do the job and do it effectively to be a good doctor. That doesn't matter anymore. It's going to be based on other issues. The maid clearly says that the We have long established institutions of Western society that considered to be tools of racial oppression. Got that all you racist listening out there. You got it all. You got it. And then when I just told you about the Nazis Where do you see what the paper says. About that. Where do you see what the paper says about that? And I'm gonna hold that thought, because I need a little bit more time than I've got to share that one with you. But You know it was. It was the doctors who signed on to the Nazi party because they wanted to control and they wanted the population to do what they told them to do. That was the purpose. You do what we tell you to do And if you don't Well, then you get punished. That's why the doctors liked the Nazis and that is history. But way too. You see with the am a just put out and your doctor. Chances are is a member of the A. M A. And I have no idea if your doctor even knows what's in this am a paper but I do And I'm gonna tell you about it on the other side.
