TAKE A SEAT, PUT YOUR NAPKIN ON YOUR LAP, AND UNDO YOUR BELT – YOU’RE IN FOR A VERITABLE BANQUET OF MOVIES ABOUT FOOD! Prepare yourself for the most mouthwatering, scrumptious, toothsome, and downright yummy episode of Genre Grinder yet. Gabe and returning guest/his significant other/food buddy, Kristine Fisher – who knows a thing or two about cooking – chow down on six courses of food-themed movies that mostly fit the concept of magical realism, including Jûzô Itami’s Tampopo (1985), Gabriel Axel’s Babette’s Feast (Danish: Babettes gæstebud, 1987), Peter Greenaway’s The Cook, the Thief, His Wife &amp; Her Lover (1989), Alfonso Aráu’s Like Water for Chocolate (Spanish: Como agua para chocolate, 1992), Stephen Chow’s The God of Cookery (1996), and Stanley Tucci &amp; Campbell Scott’s Big Night (1996). Please be aware that we recorded with two mics and it caused some weird crackly (thankfully not too loud) feedback to crop up every once in a while. I’ve done my best to mitigate the problem where I could and apologize for not fixing it during recording.  00:00 – Intro, food documentaries, classic food scenes 11:33 – Tampopo 23:37 – Babette’s Feast 36:19 – The Cook, the Thief, His Wife &amp; Her Lover 59:19 – Like Water for Chocolate 1:12:30 – The God of Cookery 1:28:05 – Big Night 1:43:20 – Outro  Please consider donating to the following charities/fundraisers if you have any spare cash: Second Harvest Heartland (MN food bank): https://secure.2harvest.org National Immigrant Justice Center: https://immigrantjustice.org/ Immigration Justice Campaign: https://immigrationjustice.us/ UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East) Gaza Crisis Appeal: https://donate.unrwa.org/gaza/

Episode 23: Food-Themed Movies, feat. Kristine Fisher

DUST OFF YOUR PORK PIE HATS, FLAPPER SKIRTS, AND ROUNDED GLASSES, YA DEWDROPPERS, AND SHUT YER YAP FOR A HOTSY-TOTSY TRIP THROUGH PRE-TALKIE ANTICS! Let us journey way back in time, before sync sound was easy to record and people still thought a pie in the face was the height of comedy with Gabe and today’s guest, his girlfriend Kristine. Kristine has the knowledge and Gabe has the will to learn as they look at a handful of classic films and shorts. Today’s sockdoglar includes Henry Lehrman’s Keystone Kops: The Bangville Police (1913), George Nichols’ Fatty Joins the Force (1913), Roscoe Arbuckle’s Fatty &amp; Mabel Adrift (1916), Charlie Chaplin’s The Gold Rush (1925), Buster Keaton’s Go West (1925), and Fred C. Newmeyer &amp; Sam Taylor’s Harold Lloyd-starring hit, The Freshman (1925). Please excuse the lower volume level on Kristine’s voice – I thought I had everything balanced when we tested, but she was still pretty quiet – as well as the murmur of a rainstorm outside.    00:00 – Introduction to slapstick   08:48 – What have we been watching to pass the time during the lockdown?   16:20 – Keystone, Keystone Kops, and Roscoe &amp; Mabel   32:25 – The Gold Rush (and other Chaplin work)   51:27 – Go West (and other Keaton work)   1:09:10 – The Freshman (and other Lloyd work)   1:24:35 – Final thoughts and goodbyes       If you are in a position to make the world a better place, please consider the following fundraisers:        Minnesota Freedom Fund Navajo &amp; Hopi Families COVID-19 Relief Fund Minnesota Transgender Health Coalition American Nurses Foundation’s Coronavirus Response Fund

Episode 17: Silent Era Slapstick, feat. Kristine Fisher

  IN A CASTLE, UPON A HILL, BESTREWN WITH COBWEBS...JOIN US ON A JOURNEY INTO SELF-DISCOVERY…     Welcome to the crossroads of spooky and romantic as Gabe and his significant other, Kristine Fisher, talk about some Gothic Romance movies. This time, your Byronic heroes are covering three films in particular – Robert Stevenson’s  Jane Eyre  (1943), Joseph L. Mankiewicz’  Dragonwyck  (1946), and Mario Bava’s  The Whip and the Body  (Italian:  La frusta e il corpo, 1963). This will be the first of (hopefully) a couple discussions on the subject, so we stuck to an earlier era. We don’t have a specific plan on when to record a second part, so stay tuned!    00:00 – Intro   16:53 – Jane Eyre   42:21 – Dragonwyck   1:10:32 – The Whip and the Body    1:28:28 – Other movies and farewells    For the record, we’re basing our definition of Gothic Romance partially on a description found on the Toledo Lucas County Public Library website (credited to Claire F.):   https://www.toledolibrary.org/blog/a-glimpse-of-genre-the-gothic-romance   And here’s a relatively complete Letterboxd list of pertinent movies, including some we may be covering next time:   https://letterboxd.com/gabepowers/list/gothic-romance/
