  • Tom Shone and David Lynch

    Tom Shone and David Lynch
    Jan 22 2025
    Tom Shone - author of The Nolan Variations and Martin Scorsese a Retrospective - joins John Bleasdale to talk about the work of David Lynch, following his passing. An article by Tom for Prospect Magazine can be read here: "Who could possibly follow in his footsteps? His impact went over the head of Hollywood and under the feet of his fellow filmmakers—cutting a zig-zagging path wide enough for one. The only person who could do Lynchian was Lynch. But the impact of his films went far and deep. The tremendous warmth of recollection that has surged on social media in the days after his death testifies to the many blessings he brought his collaborators—“I’m yelling from the bullhorn, Godspeed buddy Dave,” wrote Naomi Watts, his Mulholland Drive star, on Instagram—and also to the note of transcendence struck by even the darkest of his films. “I’m pretty sure I’m connected to the moon,” he tweeted in 2010. The Lady in the Radiator brings glad tidings. David Lynch was always out of this world." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Sandy Lieberson on Hollywood on the Tiber
    Jan 14 2025
    Hollywood on the Tiber is a dazzling blend of the epic and intimate featuring a glittering cast of screen gods and goddesses. This vibrant chronicle recounts how Hank Kaufman and Gene Lerner became unsung movers and shakers of a unique and unrepeatable era: the rise of Rome as the center of Europe’s film industry in the 1950s and ’60s. Written in the late 1970s and now published in English for the first time, this edition features a new foreword by Sandy Lieberson, who worked alongside Kaufman and Lerner in Rome.
