Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 31 ratings
  • Hal Ashby and the Making of "Harold and Maude"

    Marshall Poe seems to need to seem more intelligent than the author. Rather than ask the author more questions, he finds it necessary to interject his know-it-all-ism attitude and pedantic tone. He comes across as somewhat snobbish. I wanted to hear the author, not Poe's ego. Great book, though. I highly recommend it....the book, not this show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Patricia Aufderheide, "Kartemquin Films: Documentaries on the Frontlines of Democracy" (U California Press, 2024)
Q: How would you account for the critical neglect of Kartemquin Films in documentary studies?
Kartemquin's films are unsellable, making them largely overlooked within traditional documentary studies, which often focus on individual films rather than the broader social contexts.
Patricia Aufderheide, "Kartemquin Films: Documentaries on the Frontlines of Democracy" (U California Press, 2024)
Q: Can you tell us a bit about your background and what brought you to this project?
I have been a friend of Kartemquin Films for a long time and shared a political perspective aligned with their mission to promote democratic life.
Prudence Peiffer, "The Slip: The New York City Street That Changed American Art Forever" (Harper, 2023)
Q: So what happens? Why did they leave the slip? What happens to the place?
All but one of the buildings that the artists lived in are no longer standing due to rapid development, which significantly changed the area during the post-war era.
Prudence Peiffer, "The Slip: The New York City Street That Changed American Art Forever" (Harper, 2023)
Q: Was it secret? Like were other artists who didn't live in the slip aware of it? Did they visit or was it so kind of isolated to the extent that, you know, if you didn't live there, you didn't know it was there?
It was very off the beaten path and kind of unknown, but many more people did sort of make a pilgrimage or visit the artists there than you might think.
Prudence Peiffer, "The Slip: The New York City Street That Changed American Art Forever" (Harper, 2023)
Q: But what sorts of artists, though, are we talking about? Obviously, if you're talking about kind of big pieces, maybe we're looking at sculpture.
The book focuses on the seven central artists that really lived there: Robert Indiana, Ellsworth Kelly, Agnes Martin, James Rosenquist, Delphine Seyrig, Lenore Tawney, and Jack Youngerman.
