From Debut to Disowning: The Story Behind Daughter of God
Gee Malik Linton spent nearly a decade trying to make his first film before finally getting one, Daughter of God, off the ground with backing from Keanu Reeves—only to lose control of it mid-production after unknowingly signing away his final cut. What the studio thought they were buying and what Linton delivered were two entirely different movies. In this episode he tells the story of his film, which starred Reeves and a then unknown Ana de Armas, how it got away from him, and how he was able to get it back.Sources in this Episode:Gee Malik Linton’s Restored DAUGHTER OF GOD - TrembleSighWonder.com Hosted on Acast.

Bosley Crowther Vs. Bonnie and Clyde
When Bonnie and Clyde arrived in 1967, it sparked a fierce debate among film critics. At the center of that debate was New York Times critic Bosley Crowther, who publicly opposed the film even as its reputation grew. This episode looks at Crowther’s battle with the movie, the critics who disagreed with him, and what the controversy reveals about a changing era in American cinema.Sources in this EpisodeTimes Announcement. “Crowther Named Critic Emeritus; Renata Adler of New Yorker to Review Films for Times.” The New York Times, November 20, 1967.Crowther, Bosley. “Run, Bonnie and Clyde: Run, Bonnie.” The New York Times, September 3, 1967.

The Linguini Incident
The making of the quirky heist comedy The Linguini Incident is not a pleasant memory for writer-director Richard Shepard. Yes, he had a great cast including David Bowie and Rosana Arquette. He also was under funded and overwhelmed and eventually lost final cut. However, the sting of this failure never fully left him and thirty years later he set out to correct it. Shepard and Linguini Incident co-star Eszter Balint help tell this story of a missed opportunity and what it means to reclaim your past.LinksCheck out Eszter Balint's latest albumTHE LINGUINI INCIDENT -- DIRECTOR'S CUT (2024) TRAILERSourcesDavid Bowie - Today Show (USA TV) - INTERVIEW ABOUT THE LINGUINI INCIDENT - 28 April 1992David Bowie - Good Morning America - Interview On The Set Of The Linguini Incident Hosted on Acast.

Closing Night Returns
Season 2 of Closing Night is finally here—the theater history podcast that takes you behind the curtain to uncover stories about famous and forgotten Broadway show that closed too soon. While season 1 focused on musicals that came and went from the Marquis Theatre, this season host Patrick Oliver Jones is tackling a whole new kind of theatrical heartbreak: shows that never actually opened on Broadway. These are the productions that fizzled out during out-of-town tryouts or preview performances, including Lone Star Love, The Little Prince and the Aviator, Lolita, My Love, Let My People Come, and Breakfast at Tiffany’s, among others. Episodes start at the end of January and will drop once a month throughout the year, with the first episode being all about Annie 2: Miss Hannigan’s Revenge, which was actually slated to open at the Marquis Theatre but was canceled after a disastrous run in Washington, DC.Make sure to follow Closing Night on your favorite podcast app and stay connected on Instagram at @closingnightpodcast.

Strike It All
In 1982 British filmmakerJames Scott had made an Academy Award winning adaptation of a Graham Greene novella. Adapting another Greene novella, this time as a feature length film, seemed like a natural progression of things. He had Greene's blessing to take his novella Loser Takes All and turn into a film that would feature stage star Robert Lindsay and Molly Ringwald. He had every element in place. Almost. The only thing left was getting American distribution. And that was found when a deal was struck with Miramax. All that James Scott had to do in order to get his modest British comedy made was deal with a producer named Harvey Weinstein, who had a lot of ideas on how this film should be made.LinksJames Scott's WebsiteSourcesRizov, Vadim.
