Theater Of The New Ear

Hope Leaves The Theater

the black cat (1934) / the long gray line (1955) / the beguiled (1971)

season two is upon us! new theme song. new segments. 3 classic films. an overstuffed episode with content leaking out of its edges. we each brought one of our favorites of all time that the other boys hadn't yet seen. 

supersized middle segment, which now has a title: mad men, entourage, spike lee, free the nipple (hello, newman), private lessons, & the color of money.

#53 - season two

Jack, Yair and Geraint are joined by returning RP guest, Toronto's own Luke Savage, and his fellow Torontonian and co-host of the esteemed Michael & Us podcast, Will Sloan.

The topic of discussion is the film released as The Ghost Writer in the United States, and The Ghost in most other territories, in 2010; a conspiracy thriller based on Robert Harris' thinly-veiled account of his former friend Tony Blair's potential troubles with international criminal law, with a screenplay by Harris himself, and directed by another friend of his, none other than well-known sex criminal and fugitive from justice Roman Polanski.

We ask what this film tells us about its creators and their politics, about Tony Blair, cultural icon and international man of mystery, and its cooky central conspiracy that saw Twitter user oidptg famously describe the plot as "Blair gets cucked by the CIA". Along the way we run into some of Blair's contemporaries on the neoliberal scene, such as Jeffrey Epstein and Mike Gapes.
