  • Jaws (Guest: Rachel Howzell Hall)

    Jaws (Guest: Rachel Howzell Hall)
    Nov 26 2021
    In the summer of 1975, Amity Island was terrorized by a serial killer...who happened to be a shark. That's how Rachel Howzell Hall, author of These Toxic Things, sees it. In this episode, she explains how Jaws, Steven Spielberg and Peter Benchley's classic tale of a shark running amok is, at its heart, a crime story. I gotta say, I was moved. https://www.rachelhowzell.com (Connect with Rachel Howzell Hall) Olivia Rutigliano, LitHub, July, 2020 - https://lithub.com/on-the-endless-symbolism-of-the-best-summer-movie-ever-made-jaws/ (On the Endless Symbolism of the Best Summer Movie Ever Made: Jaws (And How It Owes Its Dark Soul to Moby Dick)) Jessica Beebe, ScreenRant, September, 2020 -https://screenrant.com/jaws-movie-biggest-differences-peter-benchley-book/ ( Jaws: The Biggest Differences Between the Book and Steven Spielberg’s Movie) Chris Morgan, Yardbarker, November, 2021 - https://www.yardbarker.com/entertainment/articles/20_facts_you_might_not_know_about_jaws/s1__35148047#slide_1 (Twenty Facts You Might Not Know About Jaws) (This one’s a bit shaky) Maria Puente, USA Today, August, 2018 - https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/movies/2018/08/07/jaws-mystery-did-unidentified-cape-cod-murder-victim-appear-scene/923860002/ (Jaws Mystery:  Did Long Unknown ‘Lady of the Dunes’ Murder Victim Appear in Movie Scene?) https://www.thelongshadowpodcast.com (TLS on the web) https://twitter.com/LongShadowPod (TLS on Twitter) https://www.instagram.com/longshadowpod/ (TLS on Instagram) https://www.facebook.com/longshadowpod/ (TLS on Facebook) https://ginnyrobbins.square.site (Ginny Robbins (original artwork)) https://ryanculwell.com/home (Ryan Culwell (theme music))

  • No Country For Old Men (Guest: John Woods)

    No Country For Old Men (Guest: John Woods)
    Nov 19 2021
    Call it. 2007 was a banner year for films examining existential masculine dread. Michael Clayton. The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford. There Will Be Blood. But above them all stands No Country For Old Men, the Coen Brothers' adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's classic novel. Author John Woods (Lady Chevy) joined us to discuss all the ways Cormac drills into the deepest, darkest parts of our collective psyche. https://www.authorjohnwoods.com (Connect with John Woods) Jake Dee, Screenrant, April, 2020 - https://screenrant.com/no-country-for-old-men-facts-trivia/ (10 Things You Didn’t Know About No Country For Old Men) Adam Sternbergh, Vulture, September, 2017- https://www.vulture.com/2017/09/remembering-no-country-for-old-men-10-years-later.html (Remembering No Country For Old Men, A Masterful Book/Movie Collaboration, Ten Years Later) https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/no-country-for-old-men-2007 (Roger Ebert, 4 stars, November, 2007) Cinephilia & Beyond - https://cinephiliabeyond.org/no-country-for-old-men/ (‘No Country For Old Men’: The Coen Brothers and Cormac McCarthy’s Ruthless Examination of Life) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KADoPXknQCI (Lessons From the Screenplay - Don’t Underestimate the Audience) TLS on the web https://twitter.com/LongShadowPod (TLS on Twitter) TLS on Instagram https://www.facebook.com/longshadowpod/ (TLS on Facebook) https://ginnyrobbins.square.site (Ginny Robbins (original artwork)) https://ryanculwell.com/home (Ryan Culwell (theme music))

  • The Last Seduction (Guest: Kelly J. Ford)

    The Last Seduction (Guest: Kelly J. Ford)
    Nov 12 2021
    In 1994, Linda Fiorentino gave us the femme fatale to rule them all. Kelly J. Ford, author of Cottonmouths and Real Bad Things, talked with us about how Bridget Gregory became the template for the empowered, kinda evil female neo-noir characters to come. There'd be no Amy Dunne if there hadn't been The Last Seduction. http://kellyjford.com (Connect with Kelly J.
