A highlight from Legend
"And welcome back to cinema vino. We've got a two man game going. It's me and Sean Jordan. Just one little handshake over here. Coming at you. We're like a garage band, two members just coming at you with some hard rock. Tenacious D. Yeah, exactly. Or the black keys, the white stripes. Yeah. Yeah. Both of those. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. Summer Chaos is now, this is the home stretch. Mine Meg. If this is the white stripes. Yeah. I think you're going to have to be. All right. Yeah. You're holding down, you're playing. Lying down the ones and the twos. Yeah. You're playing the quarter notes. That's about it. Yup. No fills. Which is how I like my drums anyway. She made the notes in the vamp up to the chorus. A little bit. That was one of the first songs I learned. There was a little bit of flavor. It was like a rice cake with a little bit of salt on it. Not a lot of salt, but a little bit of salt. Yup. So, this is a penultimate episode of Summer of Chaos. We're going to talk about legend. No, it's not penultimate. We've got this and then we've got Battle Royale. Oh, and then Dread. You're right. Dread. So, this is. And Robocop. This is penultimate to the penultimate. Yeah. Penultimate recording. And then I think Robocop's a gap. It's just kind of in between. Right. We just toss it in just because it sounds. Gap here. Yeah. Just a little bit of something to fill in. It's like a caulk that we used in between some tiles. Don't like that. But that's the metaphor I went for and there you go. It's a grout, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah. Drinking that imagery, won't you? So, we're going to talk about legend with Tom Cruise and we're drinking some white board dough. For those of you who are coming in late to this series, basically, we do a random wheel. We spin a wheel. We put a bunch of varietals on the wheel and also like beer and cocktails. Whatever the wheel picks, that's what we do for the Summer of Chaos. These movies were all picked out at random. We put random movies in the hat, drew them out. So, pretty much anything goes for this entire summer. And so, same thing with wine. Anything goes. So, for this one, we got white Bordeaux. This is Chateau La Fresnel. This is a 2022 white Bordeaux. Little bit of background for those who may not know. We were actually talking about this before the podcast that Bordeaux is now known as a red wine region. But up until about 50, 60 years ago, it was a white wine region. It was known for its white grapes. Bordeaux are going to be... White Bordeaux are primarily Sauvignon Blanc with some Simeon and some Muscadel. There's a few other grapes they mix in there, but those are the main three that you're going to see. Then they're mainly Sauvignon Blancs. Is this kind of like how like the Republican Party and the Democratic Party kind of switched identities somewhere in the like 40s, 50s? Around the New Deal? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Basically. Now, it's like five, six to one red wines to white. It used to be the opposite. You'll also see a type of wine made from these same grapes called a Sauternes, which is going to be... It's made completely differently. It's going to be a lot sweeter, a lot more sugary. Those are very fancy, high -end, expensive white wines. So, basically, just from the price tag alone, you'll never confuse a Sauternes with a white Bordeaux. These are going to be more affordable, you know, $15, $20 range. Not super sweet. It's a little more tart, a little peachy? Dry. And the first thing I think of is Sauvignon Blanc. And these will have some characteristics of the same characteristics of other Sauvignon Blancs in the world. They're going to be a little bit grassy, a little bit citrusy, grapefruity. They're going to have some of those same kind of flavors to them. The main thing that's going to distinguish these wines is going to be... I've heard it referred to as minerality. I've heard it referred to as wet concrete. I've heard it referred to as chalk. Tasty. Yeah, limestone. But kind of that dry, refreshing edge that you don't necessarily find in other parts of the world. Kind of like what brings the harshness of mineral water versus the softness of tap. Yeah, exactly. That's a good way to put that. Yeah. It's got like a bite to it. It's got kind of like a... Little edge. Yeah. And you don't find that... Like for example, New Zealand's often been known as grapefruit bombs. Big fruit bombs. And you don't see that as much. This is my favorite region for Sauvignon Blanc. They're balanced. That's why I love French wines in general. They don't go out of the way in any one direction. They're nice and balanced. And so it's great for that. This one has that nice... It's got some grassiness to it. It's got some fruit. But it's dry. And so this would be great. I mean, people say seafood. I'm not a big seafood fan, but kind of a lighter seafood meal is perfect for that. You're not a big seafood fan? Not a big seafood fan. Period? Not really. Shrimp? I mean, I don't mind shrimp. It's not my first thing I go to. Lobster. Yeah, same. Bass. Catfish. I don't mind catfish. I've had some catfish. That's garbage. Catfish is garbage. But I remember when we went to Barcelona, we took a cooking class. It was on our honeymoon. My wife and I, we did a... It was all seafood. We had some paella. We made some paella. We did octopus. We did squid. I mean, we tried the gamut of seafood stuff that they had in the Mediterranean. It was like... That was a good indication. It's like, I don't like this. This is not for me. Yeah, not my taste. It's fair. It's fair. But I will say that we did a wine kind of similar to this, a Spanish white. And yeah, this would be perfect with a wide variety of seafood. Some of the stuff that's bigger and more buttery, you might want to go for a white burgundy, like a chard. But this is a good hot weather, outdoor type of wine. It's nice and refreshing. I like it a lot. Yeah, 25 bucks, not a whole lot of money. But yeah, any good wine store, you should be able to find a nice white Bordeaux section. So look for those while the weather's still warm. But now, legend. Talk about this movie a bit. This was released in the United States April 18th, 1986. So... You say in the United States. Where did it come out before? It was released in Europe the year before. This had a very difficult production. This was a difficult movie to realize. It has a lot going on. So this grossed worldwide $23 million against a $25 million budget. In 86? That's a big budget. Huge. And for several reasons. A big reason for that is that when they started filming, a fire broke out and burned down the 007 studios where they were filming at Leaves in England. So pretty much had to build new sets. That's probably all the magic. Exactly. Yeah, some of the Sprite costumes caught fire. Or the unicorn hair. I can imagine, yeah. It's one wrong look, that unicorn horn. Yeah, it's gone. But they had to build new sets. And Ridley Scott's original cut of the movie ran for between two and a half, three hours. So... Jeez. And the final cut was like, what, hour and a half? Yeah. The version that I watched, I don't know if you saw the original 89 -minute version or if you watched the director's cut. I think I watched the 89 version. Okay, I looked around. I had trouble finding it. That's the version I know the best, so I went back to that one. The director's cut? No, the original. Oh, the original. Yeah. There's a director's cut out there. Is it like two to three hours? No. So basically, when the final cut of this print was released, Ridley Scott watched this cut and freaked out and thought that basically American audience couldn't grasp this much plot. And so he cut the film basically in half, down to 89 minutes. And when it came out, it got mediocre reviews. Obviously, he didn't do well at the box office. He just watered it down too much? Yeah. Gene Siskel put this as one of his worst movies of that year. And the international cut that came out the year before was 93 minutes. And it got a little bit better reviews, but still not great. And then in 2002, somebody found a full work print of the movie in a can somewhere. And so they took that out and restored it, remastered it, and really Scott added about 25 minutes to the cut that the director's cut. So it comes in at like 115 minutes, give or take. And he and Tom Cruise have gone on the record saying that's the version to see. I was going to say, I was reading that Tom Cruise saw the movie in theaters and was like, that's not the movie we filmed. Yeah. That's not it. I mean, you could imagine with that much cut out, it's going to be almost incoherent. It's like a whole other act. Yeah. Yeah. And so basically, the director's cut, yeah, it's a whole other fleshed out thing. And I have seen that once. I saw it when it came out. I think I've got that on DVD somewhere. And the one thing I would say is it does, it adds a few scenes. It makes the motivations a little bit deeper, especially for the character of the darkness and his relationship with the princess, Lily, and the stuff there. It's kind of just, not to cut to the chase, but it just kind of comes out of nowhere. He's just like obsessed with her. He's just like, oh, I must have her. It feels very rushed. It feels like a plot of necessity, not like a plot of, you know, any reason. They're just like, we need to stall him. How do we do it? Love interest. Yeah. And it's like, it's like I'm telling a story to my three -year -old and it's like, I got to kind of get something else in here. You got to kind of yada, yada, yada over motivations. We're coming in for a landing too quick. We got to just shoot. Pull up. Yeah. But so basically, this is a fairly straightforward fantasy story. Tom Cruise plays Jack, who is a protector of the forest. I was a little vague on what exactly he is. Is he a bard? Is he a ranger? I mean, he'd be more druid than anything. Is he a druid? Yeah, I couldn't place what he was supposed to be. It's like, this is where we need Travis. Yeah, he would be. And if Travis had an answer to that, I would be impressed. Because to me, they don't spell that out at all. I guess he would be more of a ranger. Yeah. Because he didn't really have any sort of like shape -shifting ability or had any ability to talk with trees. Really, his only thing was he had like one -on -one connection with the sprites, right? That's about it. Yeah, he had good buddies. A working relationship. And he wore a loincloth. Yes. So there was that. Dude, he was showing that thing off. He was. And that's what I, you know, in that situation, it's like, check out my hairless legs. My supine body. Yeah, check out these smooth legs. But, so Mia Sarah plays Lily. Now, this is her starring debut. Next year, she would go on to play in Ferris Bueller, amongst other things. Her hair when she transforms into a dark version. Awesome. Now, this great production value is great. Everything, costumes, hair. For 25 million, it better be. Yeah. Yeah. And those are real unicorns. Yeah, they better be. Yeah, I mean, now it's like, that'd be 100 million plus to make this thing. Easy. Easy. Easy. So yeah, Lord of Darkness, played by Tim Curry, who is unrecognizable in the mountain of makeup. Honestly, but might be one of my favorite representations of the devil. Yeah. Like, this makeup job is incredible. And in theory, we'll get to this later, that should be great casting to have Tim Curry. Yeah. I almost want to see more of Tim Curry in the face. Like, see more of him, you know. Almost, you know, Faustian devil and Daniel Webster kind of thing, where it's like, you can see like him being rascally or whatever. But yeah, so Lord of Darkness seeks to cover the world in darkness. Plot out the sun. Conveniently, yeah. Typical plot device. For that, he needs the horn of a unicorn, which is the most sacred and majestic of all fantastic creatures. Basically, he wants to take the unicorns out of the world, take the horns out of the world, and the world. The representation of purity. The horn of the unicorn. Yes. The world goes dark. Everything turns into kind of a barren, frigid tundra of darkness. He just has goblins that work for him inexplicably? Yeah, incompetent goblins. Yeah. It's nice. But they rhyme. They talk in riddles. They do. They do rhyme. But you know, he kind of has the James Bond villain of incompetent people working under him, you know. If anything, that's the thing that slows him down as much as, you know, these James Bond villains. Like, you hired a bunch of idiots. He also has, like, the Bond villain thing of, like, doing a lot of monologuing? Yes. Let me vamp for five minutes while you prepare your thing to destroy me. Yeah, let's me blather.

"But also like a very pressing about our time where nuclear power is very much hotly debated. Interesting. Have you spoken with Biden about this? No, but me and Macron are just always talking about, do you think the storm that's coming in this movie? Do you think that N Hathaway heard about that on GMO? Jambo's 2012 episodes were pretty raw. What were we really on at that point? A lot of Carmelo Anthony talk is my fault. That's right. Lindsay. I had not leveled up my audio yet, and so I was just being recorded on an iPhone memo. The joke of it is that CR and I did record a couple of test GMOs in 2011. Where are those tapes now? Your storage? No, they're with God. Okay. I think one of them was about Ridley Scott's Robin Hood. Yep. That was a good job. So we're really right back where we started. I want to have one of these warehouses where I have all my weapons. Okay. I thought you were going to say out your DVDs. I mean, like you're on your way. But how do I battle, you know? You and at 50 is just like you and a sewer with all the DVDs around you, looking at the front page of The New York Times, being like, why are they covered burglary? Imagine me surrounded by sewer filth, rocking glade candles and blurays. That's great. It's just dope. I don't think the public knows that Wayne enterprises is a weapons manufacturer, but to answer your guys question from earlier, I don't think that they would be a good vibe about Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne, I mean he's a billionaire who makes tanks and nuclear reactors? Come on. I don't think that we're supposed to know that he makes tanks, though. I think that's just the movie showing us, but Batman doing he's trying to physical therapy right now. Okay. So this is like sewer therapy. This is kind of what you dress like at the gym, right? Me? Black shorts, black T-shirt? Yeah, but I usually, I usually have cargo pants on. Cargo shorts. I wear that Alfred cardigan to the gym, sweat it out. Do you think that this batsuit is encased in glass so that it doesn't reek of human filth?

"On. All right, Liz, I think we're going to test out a brand new Liz segment, and this is Liz Tai watches Donald Trump so you don't have to. I need some theme music, but okay, until that comes along. Yeah, I felt for a long time that Trump getting back on Twitter would be like the worst thing for him because he would crap insane. Because he was back crap and saying before he left office and he's like, way worse now. So just this week, he reposted an account with the handle G one WGA. Which is an acronym for the well-known QAnon slogan where we go one. We go all. Actually, it's funny. The Q loans have convinced themselves that this praise had something to do with John F. Kennedy. Although it's actually taken from a 1996 Ridley Scott film called white squall, which I don't know, have you seen it? I have not. Of course. No. Alien, I've seen alien, right? I have not. Have you not seen alien? No. You know what I'm gonna do that? Anyway, look, considering that these people think that we are lizard people, like it's not from alien. I suppose the misquote from this from this Kennedy thing is probably like the least of the problem. Anyway, the point is, if Trump were on regular social media, people besides me would notice that he was playing FTSE with this insane, called all the time. With him just like ranting into the ether by himself with the maga loons, nobody clocks it. I really think that that's something that has not gone analyzed like in the popular press. We all missed sort of the significance of Trump's social media profile in 2016, right? I maybe you knew this, but I did not know that he had tens of millions of followers before his candidacy and that basically his entire Twitter feed was racist Obama birther crap right. I kind of feel like that's some information I would have liked to have known from the mainstream media to, you know, baby take a second out of covering Hillary Clinton's emails in 2016 and tell me about that. Yeah. Well, it was bad. It continues to be bad. And speaking of filthy and gross racist shit. Just listen to what he posted about his good buddy Kellyanne Conway this week. I'm going to read it to you and this is a verbatim quote. I think it was yesterday. Congratulations to Kellyanne Conway on her divorce from her wacko husband, mister Kellyanne Conway. Free at last, she has finally gotten rid of the disgusting albatross around her neck. She is a great person and will now be free to lead the kind of life that she deserves, and it will be a great life without the extremely unattractive loser by her side. I mean, look, that might be something that you say to your girlfriend like 6 margaritas and or whatever, but like, don't put that on social media for God's sake. I mean, in public, you're like, oh, I really support you, and I hope you'll be happy, but oh my God, this is the guy is the mother of her four children. It is so filthy. You work for Donald Trump, and you just know that that's coming out. But yeah. Fantastic. Well, all that is me are foreplay, as it were. Roll the tape, please. What it's so proud to leave. I

Seb and Chris Kohls Discuss the 1979 Horror/Sci-Fi Classic 'Alien'
"Watched alien again this morning. I mean, what kind of a job is that after breakfast, I got to watch alien preparing for the show. I actually did the same thing. I did this. Great minds. But the first thing that's kind of peculiar, and I love Ridley Scott, my favorite movie of all time is Blade Runner. And this man's eyes is majestic. But it's a category busting movie because it's sci-fi, but it's also horror. And the weird thing for me is, I don't watch horror movies. I don't like horror movies, right? Not my bad. But this, this is just so well made. It's so compelling. The acting, what you said, the tightness, the performances. It's not a schlock horror movie, is it? No, and you know the performances need to be noted here. I don't normally care that much about the acting. But I don't know what it is about the way Ridley Scott directs and actor. But I mentioned this in a previous film. I think it was, I think it was either die hard to lethal weapon. There is a sort of cavalier attitude that the actors tend to have. You can see it in something like the magnificent 7. There is a kind of acting where the actors just sort of, you know, they just act like normal people. You have certain acting today is often in films and television is often very intentional. Everybody's saying something in a way that's very clear so that the audience understands it's almost theatrical. But this is not like that. When I was acting, I wasn't particularly successful actor, but when I was acting in Hollywood, this is the kind of acting that I liked to do,

"Kind of took the reins on margarita. So it was so wonderful to have her and work with her. Well, just in the last two minutes, I just want to note that everybody who comes out of this has sort of made the connection, whether it was intended or not for this reason, that there is obviously an echo of the story very much in the present day with the whole me too movement that we've seen over the last few years. And I guess I just wonder what you've made of that. And the fact that your character is somebody who apparently did this truly like, I don't know how many centuries ago was this that we're talking about 7, just the idea and ran into the same both this was put into that situation by the by the same kind of behavior that remains problematic, all these years later, but then also had the guts years earlier to do what clearly is still a difficult thing for people even in the 21st century, which is to confront the person who's done something who's wrong you. Yeah, I mean, that was always the forefront of my mind, you know, it wasn't lost on me that there were going to be many, many people who watched this film, who have experienced something similar, you know, so you have a huge responsibility and a duty of care when telling a story like this, you know? It's like, why are you telling it how are you telling it? And I know that was so important for us all and especially personally, you know, when we were when I knew that we were going to show the rate from the two perspectives and just really understanding why we are doing that and making sure that those scenes on gratuitous and that they're always serving the purpose of the character. You know? And I felt like when I got to film and I just had to focus on her as a person and her experience, and I felt so I really trusted the people who I was around. And the kind of depths and expense they were going to to make sure it was a safe set and that we were doing it correctly. You know, we had a intimacy coordinator called ether O'Brien who's done the most incredible work. So we had hair on board and yeah, just hoping, you know, that when people watch this, if they can bring themselves to watch it, they feel that we've told their story in a truthful way. Yeah. And very last two things. This is funny. To me, at least I think, and hope you'll agree, but you were a supporting actress in one of the funniest comedies of this year, which happens to have been a viral clip in which Ridley Scott. Says to a journalist who got a little out of blood, quote, fuck you very much among other..

"Of doing that and not everyone approved. It was going to be and that really was such a wonderful way to step into the last duel just being on a set of that size and realizing that you prepare the same morale is the same. It's just on a much much bigger scale. So that was a lovely thing to experience before I stepped onto a Ridley Scott bell. For sure. Well, and I just want to note for listeners, I mean, Ryan Reynolds, Taika Waititi, Shaun levy. These are guys who have a lot of background in comedy and they've all said in different things that I read prepping that they were just amazed that somebody whose background is not as exclusively in a way in comedy could step in and do improv and keep up and hold their own very much in that format. So that was that. And then you mentioned going pretty much from that to the last duel. And I think the thing to note there is that a lot of people think of really Scott the first thing that comes to mind are gladiator type movies with those males and swords and sandals. But they should remember, there's also the same guy who's done thelma and Louise. So it feels like in a way the last stool is a blurring of his two these two sides of his personality, yeah. And so I guess I just wonder how did you first hear that Ridley Scott might be interested in you for one of his movies? Yeah, so again, that came through an email. I got an email, she not really would like to meet me. It's a new film called the last duel. Loosely based on this book. And he liked to meet me to have a chat in London. So I was like, wow, okay. Obviously, of the book, wasn't aware of this kind of moment in history, ordered the book immediately, so I could do some homework. And I went and met Ridley in London and I know this now because I've had them speak about it when I've been in this company, but he doesn't really like to audition people per se by making them read the script. He likes to kind of get a sense of who they are. And he watches a lot of television and the law of film.

"About the show and what I'm so grateful for is that they give you a seat at the table, you know? You come in and you meet the writers and the writers want to know your thoughts and your feelings and where you may want your character to go and where you don't want her to go and just so amazing to be a part of those conversations and for people to actually care about what you think and it's really enabled me to find my own voice and have a true understanding of yeah of what I want. But what I feel well, so at obviously a remarkably young age distinguish yourself so much in TV, 26 years old, the youngest ever winner at that point of the best actress in a drama series. I mean, all this stuff. But the downside, I guess, was that in your mind at least and in the minds of a lot of people who came before you, if you really establish yourself at a high level as a great actress on TV, there's sometimes a fear that people in film will not be able to put you in that box and not be able or willing to see you as an actress for film. And I believe that that may have been a concern of yours prior to the fact that in the last few years, I mean, I guess there was a there was a cameo of course as ray's mother in Rise of Skywalker. That Star Wars film. But it was in the last year or so that that fear was kind of shot to hell by the fact that you were in you were a lead in a big Hollywood movie for the first time with free guy. You have now made a movie with Ridley Scott as a lead, which we're going to, of course, focus on now. The last duel, but I guess I wonder if you can just talk about how much that was on your mind that, wait, am I going to be stuck as a TV actress in people's minds? Yeah. No, it really, really was. I mean, and I don't know where I got on that from. I guess we all have our insecurities, and that was absolutely one of mine. Just haven't gone for many, many auditions for film and not getting them and then going a whole gosh will maybe I'm a television actress, you know, quote that doesn't even mean anything. That isn't even a thing. But that was what I was saying in my head was like I looked up at film as this kind of other thing that was on reachable and you know you had to be something else to do it..

"These are guys who have a lot of background in comedy, and they've all said in different things that I read prepping that they were just amazed that somebody whose background is not as exclusively in a way in comedy could step in and do improv and keep up and hold her own very much in that format. So that was that. And then you mentioned going pretty much from that to the last tool. And I think the thing to note there is that a lot of people think of really Scott the first thing that comes to mind are gladiator type movies with those males and swords and sandals. But they should remember, there's also the same guy who's done thelma and Louise. So it feels like in a way the last duel is a blurring of his two these two sides of his personality, yeah. And so I guess I just wonder how did you first hear that Ridley Scott might be interested in you for one of his movies? Yeah, so again, that came through an email. I got an email, she didn't really would like to meet me. It's a new film called the last duel, loosely based on this book. And he liked to meet me to have a chat in London. So I was like, wow, okay. You know, obviously, of the book, wasn't aware of this kind of moment in history, ordered the book immediately, so I could do some homework. And I went and met Ridley in London and I know this now because I've had them speak about it when I've been in this company, but he doesn't really like to audition people per se by making them read the script. He likes to kind of get a sense of who they are. And he watches a lot of television and the law of film and you know what he said he was a huge fan of Killing Eve. So he'd seen me in that and felt felt like I could do this and was just trying to get a sense of who I was and luckily gotten a healthy way into the book and he was like, so what.

"You come in and you meet the writers and the writers want to know your thoughts and your feelings and where you may want your character to go and where you don't want her to go and just so amazing to be a part of those conversations and for people to actually care about what you think and it's really enabled me to find my own voice and have a true understanding of yeah of what I want. But what I feel. Well, so at obviously a remarkably young age, distinguish yourself so much in TV, 26 years old, the youngest ever winner at that point of the best actress in a drama series. I mean, all this stuff. But the downside, I guess, was that in your mind, at least, and in the minds of a lot of people who came before you, if you really establish yourself at a high level as a great actress on TV, there's sometimes a fear that people in film will not be able to put you in that box and not be able or willing to see you as an actress for film. And I believe that that may have been a concern of yours prior to the fact that in the last few years, I mean, I guess there was a cameo, of course, as ray's mother in Rise of Skywalker, that Star Wars film. But it was in the last year or so that that fear was kind of shot to hell by the fact that you were in your elite in a big Hollywood movie for the first time with free guy. You have now made a movie with Ridley Scott as a lead, which we're going to of course focus on now. The last stool. But I guess I wonder if you can just talk about how much that was on your mind that wait am I going to be stuck as a TV actress in people's minds? Yeah. No, it really, really was. I mean, and I don't know where I'd gotten that from. I guess we all have our insecurities, and that was absolutely one of mine. Just you know, haven't gone for many, many auditions for film and not getting them and they go in a whole gosh. Maybe I'm a television actress, you know, quote, that doesn't even mean anything. That isn't even a thing. But that was what I was saying in my head was like looked up at film as this kind of other thing that was on reachable and you know you had to be something else to do it..

with Bloomberg pursuits editor Chris rouser Sarah it's really great to have you with us just take us back and tell us how so many years ago you became so immersed in the story to begin with Hi Well thanks for having me I mean this was an incredible story that just really drew me in because there was so many twists and turns and this family fashion dynasty over three generations It was a kind of story that if you made it up people wouldn't believe you It was so so outrageous and so many surprising twists and turns Exactly There were so many twists and turns and it is something that you feel like okay this would be a streaming service but no it was reality You know as you were putting it together because it played out in real time right There was so much coverage What is it that you wanted to dig into Well I was really drawn to the story by the figure of Modesto Gucci And I was covering him as a beat reporter amil and his vision to pilot his family company from sort of an over license sort of cheap and brand to a top tier luxury brand He wanted to make Gucci like Italy's Hermes So he wanted it to be sophisticated He wanted excellent craftsmanship He brought in American creative director and designer and his vision was to take it way up market only as he started putting it into place He had cut off the cash cows he had not really given consumers a chance to figure out that there was a new Gucci and the company was just heading towards bankruptcy And as while this was going on Sara this is Chris You know there was this whole personal side of the saga where he was going through a divorce from his wife Patricia reggiani who was played by Lady Gaga in a film and where he was at least for part of the time in a romantic relationship with sherry which is what our stories about Exactly So I realized that I was it's one thing to write a business story for newspaper but I realized that there was there was a narrative here that had the qualities of a novel and it was by blending the family saga with the business story that I felt that this story really really came to shit to life And I interviewed more than a hundred people for the book I talked to family members I talked to the current and former employees of Gucci But the one person who slipped away was Marty Cebu's girlfriend at the time Well for 7 years her name was sherry McLaughlin She was an American former model who worked in the fashion industry but they actually met sailing in Sardinia As the Italian team was preparing for the 1987 America's cup So sheri didn't want to talk to me at the time that I was right in the book She didn't know what kind of book I was going to write And she ducked my phone calls and didn't answer my emails Well she came out of the woodwork a few months ago and the stills from the movie set started breaking the Internet And I realized as we chatted that she was ready to tell her story All right so you go up to Chris and you go Chris I've got the story Tell me how this came together Well it's actually really exciting to see it out in pursuit today because I was very uncertain whether Bloomberg would be interested in the story because it seemed like such a non Bloomberg story right It was really about the personal side And yet sherry had been at Modi to aside when he was going through some of the toughest fights of his life both with his financial partner investor and with his family He was battling for his uncle's sense of the financial police after him With an accusation that he hadn't signed his father hadn't signed the shares Giving him the 50% control and sent him escaping and a motorcycle across the border into Switzerland where there was no extradition So he was really really grappling with a lot at the time And she was the person who was out of sight trying to help them the whole time All right question for you Chris Were you like yeah of course I'm interested Well I think maybe Sarah thought it felt a little gossipy for business week and I love gossip Especially because this gos really actually informed major news events and also obviously this crime And it was a perspective that Sarah was really excited about hearing and getting out there and sherry's not in the movie her she's not portrayed in the movie because no one knew her story This is really like a missing piece of the saga And it also includes all these great details like Sarah mentioned the publicity stills that broke the Internet You might remember the first stills that came out were of Lady Gaga and Adam Driver playing maurizio in patrizia and they were in Italy and it was so like Italian and 80s and he's wearing white ski pants And sherry told us that he always wore white ski pants because he was a terrible skier So he would fall And by when he would get down to the wine fueled lunch with everybody no one would know that he fell because he was wearing white It's so smart Which is a great little detail that is the kind of thing that's in this story Take us back more than 20 years ago when you were working on this book and you not being actually able to speak to sherry because she actually did approach you You write after the book was out Tell us about that interaction That was really an incredible moment So I had really given up on I had to give up on her My manuscript was going into press and she hadn't responded So I limited my treatment for just a few lines in the book I knew from other people that she had existed But I didn't really have any contours of the relationship or how they had met or what time they spent together And the book came out in 2000 and then the paperback edition came out in 2001 And I was in New York presenting the paperback edition at the early bookstore And I'd finished signing books and everybody was just about leaving And I noticed a tall blond woman standing hanging back looking at me And after the last person left she came up to me with tears in her eyes and she said hi Sarah I'm sherry McLaughlin If I had known you were going to write such a wonderful book I would have talked to you And she gave me a big hug And we both cried So read the book watch the movie

We're already activated. Yeah. So it's not like we are significantly drunker than the previous episode. So you heard. Well, we're on our way. Yeah, we're getting there. So we don't know where we're going, but we're on our way. My cheeks are Rosie. Yeah. What cheeks? What? Okay. So what we're gonna talk about aliens, this was my pick. This was something that I had in mind for our SQL series about a movie sequels that we did over the summer. Aliens is a unique SQL to movies. It was kind of the first of its kind where sequels had existed, but nothing like this. The first alien came out in 1979, it was directed by Ridley Scott. And it was kind of a jaws slash space. Yeah. Jaws in space. It was kind of a hitchcockian like the lifeboat scenario where people like the Hitchcock blackboard where people aren't alive boat out in the sea and something's happening and they're getting picked off. So it kind of borrows that old horror movie idea, suspense movie idea, where it's like, and what's happening? You know, and it's like there's nothing we can do we're isolated even the original aliens tag line space, no one can hear you scream. So that's the same premise as life, but where there's no help you're stuck. So a lot of alien, despite the fact that it had big special effects and scenes in space, it was a very claustrophobic movie. Very good tagline too. One of the very best, one of the most famous. It's a very intense, very claustrophobic movie to watch, you know? I mean, it's like stuff like that. This happens in very tight corridors and rooms and it's like, do you feel very confined? So it was very ironic for a movie set in space, which is infinite expansive, but it's like you feel closed in. Boxed in. Aliens is a completely different movie. So yeah, they make it plural. Exactly. But so they bring in James Cameron to direct it. James Cameron is a totally different director than Ridley Scott. Oh, yeah. Totally different as a writer, totally different as a director. A totally different approach to things. They both have done a lot of special effects like centric movies, but basically James Cameron takes this to the extreme of a big brawny action movie. It still has horror elements..

Ridley scott's scifis aesthetic is amazing. I love the look of permit the especially. I mean this movie. not as good looking. But there's something about his eye for science fiction that i think is great then rewatch Men in black the original and it's still a classic as it always was loved. The whole cast loved the concept incredibly funny and still holds up very well rewatch transformers age of extinction which is the fourth transformers film. And there's not a real really a rational way to review that film. it's it's it's objectively. No it's not very good. But when i was re watching it in some form i enjoyed it. It's offensively. yeah it's offensively long but are some sequences especially towards the end in terms of action are fantastic action. Sequences as much as people hate on michael bay. There are some scenes in there with the scale..

Kevin Macdonald, Ridley Scott Join Forces For Another 'Life In A Day'
"The world to participate in making a documentary 10 years ago, along with the producer Ridley Scott. He blended scenes that people sent in from their lives on a single day in July, 2010. Now, 10 years later, they're doing it again. Here's NPR's Avery Keathley. It begins with a tempest, lightning flashes and thunder rumbles as we see Mother's going into labor and giving birth starts in the middle of the night. The sequence of babies being born because often that subsequent babies aboard Kevin MacDonald directed the crowd sourced documentary life in a day 2020. It's a sequel to 20 tens life in a day. MacDonald asked people around the world to film their lives for one day and submit it to make a sort of time Capsule of life on July 25th 2020. Received 324,000 videos from 192 countries. Now most notable Equilar scenes and montages follow the days are from early morning through night. Waking, cooking, working, mundane human things. The film follows the guy chasing trains a woman trying to conceive a man with a little white dog choosing these great moments. He's fascinating characters. How do I weave them together to form something that flows and where you sort of feel like you've traveled through? Not just a day, but of all of human experience. The film tracks familiar narrative themes, birth and death, celebration and sorrow, love and loss. But one theme was inescapable in 2020, when we would talk about it in March, we naively thought that maybe lockdowns might be over by July. Producer Jack are but not also produced the original life in a day. I'd always been really keen to know what had become of the people who were in the original film has the pandemic kicked off began to feel like there was an even better reason to revisit it. Suzanne Lucas submitted footage to the original life in a day. She filmed her teenage son, Alexander, not quite wanting to get out of bed. In 2020 Suzanne rolls the camera while watching her clip from 2010. That was my son 10 years ago on the original life in a day I'm going to show you my son now and then I turn the camera. To my son's earn and where I have his everything set up and said, This is my son. Now he's here with me forever home. Was gonna be harder than I thought. Suzanne son, Alexander Lucas died in February 2020 due to complications from covert 19. The film is dedicated to him when you lose your child, and he was my only child, your mind is very cruel to you sometimes, but I had this fear that if anything happened to me, then he would really be gone forever because it's the memories that I have that keep him here now. And by having this film this beautiful film of the year 2020 dedicated to Alexander. At least now I know He'll be remembered even when I'm not here anymore. It gave me a sense of peace that I never thought I would have. Director Kevin MacDonald reflects on the days emotional range. The roller coaster of this film is the kind of rollercoaster of life we know It's gonna have difficult moments. We know it's gonna have dark bits, but Also it can have and for most people does have moments of incredible happiness. Enjoy life in a day. 2020 reminds us that no matter the year each day holds promise. Every cutely

The Book Review
Lawrence Wright on Researching a (Fictional) Pandemic
"Last book was God Save Texas Nonfiction. I believe there was a play in between and now this just curious how you go from one project to the next and and forgive me if I skipped a project that may have been in between as well years ago. I made a resolution that I would only do things that were important or fun. Was you know the state of confusion about what I wanted to do with my life and I thought I as a journalist I like to be on the important stories of the day but I also realized that it didn't want to give up things that really joyful and so those are the polls stars of my career and I think is sort of understandable that I would now be working on a musical but you know if you take those as your pulse stars in. I think you can have a pretty interesting career. Are they ever important and fun? Yes this book was. I know it sounds you know is is is a rather bleak book but I really had a wonderful time researching it and going into the world of of public health in all these swashbuckling intellectuals I just admire them so much so I I really had a good time working on this book. All right I'm going to cut to the chase and let everyone know who doesn't know already that the end of October is a fictional story of a pandemic so before we get into more about it and want to go back again to the origin stories. You've said that the director Ridley Scott Asks you a question after Reading Cormac. Mccarthy's the road and that that was your inspiration. What was the question? And when did he ask this? When were you sitting around with Ridley Scott talking about this? This was a decade ago and he is questioned was what happened because Cormac didn't say anything. About what event or of nature had brought civilization to heal? So I started thinking about what could do that and of course I thought about nuclear war but I was a young reporter covering diseases out of the Center for Disease Control in one thousand nine hundred ninety six. There's a swine flu outbreak in the legionnaires disease and I had become enchanted with that world and the courage and ingenuity of the people that I found there and so I thought it'd be an interesting place to find a hero because I felt that those people that I met were really heroic and that disease had been underestimated as a problem for our society in modern times. So Ridley Scott ask you this question about a decade ago and you had been thinking about it because you had reported on disease over the years. When did you actually start working on? This novel really never made the movie. So like Mr Destiny of so many projects in Hollywood and about in two thousand seventeen. I've been thinking about this story. Still is in my mind so I decided I would go back and work on work on. It is a knock and this time I would dive into the research even more deeply and let the story emerged more naturally rather than cinematic -ly so that's that's how the novel got started. You are such a master your master of many forms but I love your nonfiction so much. There's so much research material in this. Did you think maybe there should be nonfiction? I DID CONSIDER WRITING ABOUT MORE DISEASES. But you know it already had an imaginary character and a world which it was said. I got attracted to the idea of tempting it as a novel. It seemed a challenge for me and I wanted to see if I could do it. Who WAS THAT IMAGINARY CHARACTER? Will the name of my heroes? Henry Parsons in the late. Nineteenth Century in England. There was another influence of outbreak and a young epidemiologist named Henry. Parsons was the first to prove that it was caused by contagion and not by my asthma's in the environment you know. He's totally forgotten figure. But I decided to tip my hat to him and name my character. Henry Parsons he is a man whose life has been touched rather savagely by disease and works out of the Center for Disease. Control where I had done by early reporting. And he's an epidemiologist who's confronted many diseases in the past but has always known that there was one awaiting him. There was going to be the big challenge so the CDC is in Atlanta Georgia and the United States. But this novel the breakout begins elsewhere. You have it really kind of take hold in Mecca. Why did you choose to do that? We'll after nine eleven when I was working on my book looming tower. The Saudis wouldn't let me in as a reporter so I got a job. I was mentoring young reporters at the Saudi Gazette in Jeddah which had bin Laden's hometown and one of my very first jobs was to supervise their coverage of the Hodge and I was was not allowed to go to Mecca myself but I was in communication every day with my reporters and I was very struck at the time about the hazard of gathering of people in one place from all over the world and having every year some disease arises sometimes more than one and there's an epidemic in Mecca and then people get on airplanes and they fly home. Well you know what if it was something really dangerous suppose it was like the nineteen eighteen flu. That was in my gosh even when I was living in Saudi Arabia enter the CA-. Golly flew right. This is her fictional virus. Tell us about that sickness. And how did you come to describe what this flu would be like? Why a flu even influence is unconquered. It's the great killer it every year. We lose maybe you know fifty thousand people to influence a very dangerous disease. Clever in a way in that has always mutating. And you never know what's going to show up the next year. I mean the the fluid self that comes every year is sort of a descendant of that nineteen eighteen original Spanish flu right. That's correct Pamela. We're right now. The seasonal flu is H. One IN ONE. Which is the strain that killed between fifty and one hundred million people in nineteen eighteen? And I said as a young reporter I had done stories out of the Center for Disease Control but one of them in nineteen seventy six was a sudden outbreak of h one in one which is what public health officials had been dreading their entire careers. And it was a young man of recruit in Army Base Fort Dix in New Jersey. David Lewis suddenly after a Long March. Came back to the barracks in died. They examined the tissues discovered. It was h one n one Tremendous panic took place in. I win all over talking to people in Fort Dix and enter the members of David Lewis is family and so on the big mystery was he was the only one who died and yet you know there was this in national vaccine program and it became kind of catastrophe for Gerald Ford because people got sick from the vaccine. It was just a total mess but hanging over this was peculiar FAC fifty. Two hundred million people died you know a century ago and then only one and then in two thousand nine to the H. One in one came back as a pandemic and it was more like seasonal flu in his still with us but the the question I had was what would happen if something like the nineteen eighteen flu brand new novel virus came into our culture. How would we handle? It will be better prepared than our ancestors were in one thousand nine hundred eighteen and so the the flu that I create Congolese is really modeled on that. Old Virus one that came out in nineteen eighteen. It was also a hemorrhagic fever. You know there was no resistance to it in the population. I actually created a template that is based on the progress of the flu in Nineteen Eighteen. So in the novel the fluid advances across the globe. It pretty much mirrors. What was going on in nineteen eighteen?
Talk Nerdy to Me
Quarantine Chat with the Reel Screeners
"I have been I literally about fifteen twenty minutes ago watched the last episode of the Second Season of altered carbon which was released about a month ago or so on Netflix But I hadn't seen the first season so I spent a long time watching the first season. The second season finally finished it and man This is such a dense and such a layered Show it's a show that demands your undivided attention. It's a show that is It I liked the first season better than the second season. I have to say Agreem- you've seen you've seen the first season troy right. Yeah I really liked the per season the second season wasn't as compelling for me. I about halfway through it and if I don't finish it I'M NOT GONNA be upset so it was thinking about this. You know It's a lot. It was a lot to think about in just twenty minutes and I came up with you know the the reason I think the first season is stronger is because it has a lot more intrigue and things to discover This is a show that has a lot of twists and turns. And I like it for that reason So it's it's think think I like the first season to like Ridley Scott Particularly like blade runner and alien and then the second season is GonNa like in. The second season is more like a. Wachowski which house key brothers with like the Matrix. Although both seasons have you know characteristics or tones that you know we can compare to the Matrix but basically it's a Scifi show There's also anime. Anime influences in there A lot of ghost in the shell and so the premise of the show. For those of you that have not seen it Basically in the future Every human who was born can download their consciousness into a little chip that they call stack. And so basically you never die because as long as that stack is okay you you can just be put into a different body. Which in the show they call sleeves and it's a show about power struggles in. It's like it's like a detective story as well. And it has some film war elements In the new season in the second season Anthony Mackie who plays Falcon in the avengers? A key plays the main character. Takeshi batch. is his name Good acting all throughout a solid a storyline. The second season just falls kinda short for me a little bit because it just got a little convoluted and it's just really hard to follow at times because there's so much information and that's my my feeling about it but overall if you're a Scifi fan and you like the Matrix and you like you know really Scott Material James Cameron stuff. You should watch altered carbon in my opinion the I think the I think the second season. Kinda has that sophomore slumping. The first season is grabs you. Because it's all new. This is stuff you haven't seen before and then the second season you're already use that stuff that the interest in the first season so the second season asked to really step it up keep that same level of excitement and Like you said I mean the second season great acting cinematography was was good. It just is not a new concept commanding anymore. And I'm just Kinda Ma- about the second season I was that made me. They wrote themselves into a corner or anything. Like maybe over thinking it and trying to be a little too crazy. I think it's just more of the same from the first season and it just it doesn't look raise. The bar from the first season is just as good as the first season but the first season was groundbreaking heard exactly. I think it's just like rehashing. The first and then again I just felt like there was more to look forward to like more surprises. The twist and turns were like more. I Dunno engaging I guess an an and I think that the second season followed the love story a little too much. There's a love story at the center of the second season and dine those love stories hidden away the action fat. It's just that it wasn't the bogus of the first one. As much I guess as as it was the second season and I think that kind of detracted from other fun aspects for me. But that's just the way I felt anyway that in this whole thing with the sleeves It can be the same character played by a different actor. Sometimes that's hard to follow from season to season because you went from you know. I can't remember the actor from the first season to Anthony. Mackie completely different. Look but in your mind you have to make that connection the same guy from the same guy. Yeah so the actor in the first season was played by Joel Kinman But yeah like that's another point. That's a very good point because you have the same personality the same mind but in a different body and that happens a lot so you. It's hard to keep track of okay. No very cerebral. You had to pay attention while you're watching it. In fact had told me yesterday he was like it's one of those shows where you know like the Matrix you have to be stuck to every single word or else you're gonNA something vinyl. Yes yes but you know what overall I liked it I I gotta say that I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it overall. But anyway if you've already watched everything else on that flicks you go ahead and watch that second season the first season definitely you should watch
The Frame
Commemoration of 'Blade Runner'
"Welcome to the frame. I'm John Horn nearly four decades ago. The Ridley Scott Film Blade runner was released used. The movie is set in Los Angeles in November two thousand nineteen and to commemorate the date micro the arts and entertainment editor at our website site. Elliot's put together an oral history of the nineteen eighty two film. I spoke with Mike about the physical production of the movie and why it's nighttime setting was integral to its filming. Mike began by briefly. recapping the movie. You know it's a fascinating story. A set in twenty one thousand nine Los Angeles the Far Future. Sure and they're trying to hunt down. androids have gone bad. Basically now making blade runner was not an easy process. And if you notice anything about bladerunner owner it's almost always at night. So why is the nighttime look of blade runner central to the story when the big reasons was because they shot and most of it on the back. Lot Of Warner Brothers you know. They had looked at scouting in Chicago and New York. And we're talking about maybe shooting in Hong Kong or Mexico City. Whatever the cities they had in mind but I ended up just because of cost now working outs and so they said we're gonNA shoot this on the back? Lot and Ridley Scott's big idea was well we make night you know you never know what's beyond the edges of this. This shot you especially. They also add that filter of rain in every scene. So that sorta covered up things and you could imagine a bigger world out there than just a few streets on a back lot doc. I WANNA play a clip from Sydney mead. Who is the visual futurist for the movie where he talks about the inspiration and coming up with the design of the city in the film primarily from Chicago Chicago and New York because they're grid cities and New York already had buildings? You know over one thousand feet. Well they embark stayed building and So I thought well well let's add another thousand feet or so so I had this vision of these incredible tall buildings. So he's talking about the kind of the verticality of the city. How how do they end up creating that? Because you can't really build thousand foot tall buildings you know this was before we had huge. CGI level is just models. They were doing specially the famous opening in the movie. Show these smokestacks and that's not really how future Los Angeles turned out. But they created this using small models and look. I think having having that dark shot at night look having the rain covering things up. You never really know this. The seems within and creates an amazing visual a fair and when the film is coming together there's a a lot of conversation about acid rain and pending environmental problems. Obviously the world is a much more dangerous place today owing to climate change so in terms of like the setup for the story it feels like they were really right about the degradation of the planet. And how that would affect the story that they were telling you know. They really were thinking about the environment. It was a different problem though because acid rain. You know it's something that doesn't get talked about in the same way because that isn't the issue we're facing now. We just found ourselves with many any other environmental problems over the years But the talking to the screenwriter Hampton. fancher the thing that really drove him in writing the screenplay was concerned about the environment he really wanted to focus on that That's the reason why you have. That constant rain throughout the film blade runner became very iconic part of that film and It sort of gives a little bit of weight to what you're seeing in this sort of crazy science fiction film. We're talking with Mike Rowe about blade runner and its depiction of Los Angeles in two thousand. Nineteen it's fair to say that the finishing of the movie did not go smoothly. In fact Ridley Scott. The director lost the film and Harrison. Ford was called back back to do what we you and I can agree with a terrible narrations so what happened and why Harrison Ford so bad in the narration and that he gives over the movie you know they were already running over budgets from making the sets on the back lot Su Trying to create this big imagination the Ridley Scott had the thing that really really send them over. The edge was there is potentially going to be a director strike from the directors guild. It never ended up happening but they have the shoot two weeks film in one week so they had to pay overtime and shoe basically twenty four seven so instead the rights of the film. Take me from Ridley. Scott's producer. Bud York and broaden his own screenwriter to write narration. Help explain things and basically dumb it down because he didn't think audiences with get it's so Harrison Ford intentionally tanked the he tried to be as boring and stiff as possible But it didn't work because they ended up making it in the movie that made it to theaters in the movie ended up being kind of a bomb at first and yet a gets a new life. So how did blade runner get. Its Own Redo you know it was a film that really Scott. I think really cared about other people worked on it really cared about The Warner Brothers did a showing of a work print of the movie without the narration. And sort of getting people talking and then about ten years later There was a piece in the La Times were they ended up reaching now then helped spur more exciting movie. Directors cut came out without the narration. Eventually the on Blu Ray had the final cut which are released got came out. and Actually Warner Warner Brothers. Actually pay for extra special effects. Finish up never got done in the original no narration. And it's sort of created this thing that everybody is able to love without the bad parts so maybe blade runner wasn't quite right about androids. Maybe it wasn't quite right about flying cars but looking at it today. What do you think that got right about where we are today? I think they did capture the big city feel. That was going to calm. That wasn't quite there yet you know. They're looking at Asian influences.
