    All The President's Minutes - Minute 2 with J.R Hennessy Jan 09, 2020
    Show notes


    All The President's Minutes is a podcast where conversations about movies, journalism, politics and history meet. Each show we use the seminal and increasingly prescient 1976 film All The President's Men as a portal, to engage with the themes and the warnings of the film resonating since its release. For minute two host, Blake Howard joins the political editor of Business Insider Australia and journalist, J.R Hennessy. J.R and Blake discuss the prophetic nature of President's Men by focusing on the trade of journalism and the pursuit of truth. J.R and Blake also take an essential digression to contrast another "primary source" film David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin's The Social Network and the quaint conclusions compared to the more substantial political ramifications a decade later.
    Directed by Alan J. Pakula, written by two-time Oscar-winning screenwriter William Goldman from the novel by reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, starring Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman; All The President's Men is a perfect film about an imperfect time.

    INCREMENT VICE - EPISODE #9: "...she's gone, man..." with Alicia Malone (Author, TCM Host) Jan 03, 2020
    Show notes

    Near the end of Douglas Sirk’s 1954 Technicolor melodrama, Magnificent Obsession, Otto Kruger makes a pretty heavy declaration:
    “Once you find the way, you'll be bound. It will obsess you. But believe me, it will be a magnificent obsession.” We agree that’s a sentiment that our pal Doc Sportello would be in a nodding, bleary-eyed acquaintance with, drawn inevitably as he is to the flame of beloved ex-old Shasta Fay Hepworth; it’s also something Bigfoot Bjornsen, Hope Harlingen, and the rest of Pynchon’s alliteratively named rogue’s gallery of drop-outs and dopers and heroes and hopefuls understand: “once you find the way, you’ll be bound.”
    They’re bound all right, though magnificent isn’t a word they’d probably use, what with their hopes and dreams all being squashed beneath the boot of time and time’s mercenary, The Golden Fang. But obsessions can be magnificent. Whether focused on a person or a time or maybe just a screen flicker at 24 frames per second, to passionately dedicate yourself to something you love can unlock doors you never even knew where there, sending you tumbling into worlds you never knew existed.That’s something our host would know a thing or three about; our guest Alicia Malone does, too. From sitting in the cave-dark of a theater for the first time to jockeying a video store to fanatically freaking about favorite films, Travis and Alicia understand obsession. How it can be magnificent. How it can be inherent.
    “Once you find the way, you’ll be bound.” Boy, don’t we know it, Otto.

    INCREMENT VICE - EPISODE #8: "...that's Bigfoot Bjornsen, Renaissance cop..." with Marya Gates Dec 20, 2019
    Show notes

    “…banana omelets, banana sandwiches, banana casseroles, mashed bananas molded in the shape of a British lion rampant, blended with eggs into batter for French toast, squeezed out a pastry nozzle across the quivering creamy reaches of a banana blancmange... tall cruets of pale banana syrup to pour oozing over banana waffles, a giant glazed crock where diced bananas have been fermenting since the summer with wild honey and muscat raisins, up out of which, this winter morning, one now dips foam mugsfull of banana mead... banana croissants and banana kreplach, and banana oatmeal and banana jam and banana bread, and bananas flamed in ancient brandy Pirate brought back last year from a cellar in the Pyrenees also containing a clandestine radio transmitter...”—Thomas Pynchon, Gravity’s Rainbow
    It’s clear Pynchon has bananas on his brain, but perhaps not nearly as much as the bruised and spoiled synapses of Lt. Detective Christian F. “Bigfoot” Bjornsen, whose appetite for the yellow crescents sneaks nightward across the borderline of simple hunger and into the lawless landscape of horny-melancholy obsession…which, when you think about it, isn’t that—a preoccupation both depressed and thirsty—the mood of Inherent Vice as a whole? Further, after the wistful Big Sleep-isms of the seductive opening scene, and the twisty-turny plot mechanics of Doc pinballing from Pipeline Pizza to Aunt Reet’s phone line to brunch with Denis to learning the another lesson in the long, sad history of LA land use before taking a ball bat to head after being on the losing end of Jade’s Pussy-Eater’s Special, don’t we deserve a break with the funniest stretch of film in all of Inherent Vice?

    INCREMENT VICE - EPISODE #7: "...welcome to a world of inconvenience..." with Jedidiah Ayres Dec 13, 2019
    Show notes


    “What was astonishing to him was how people seemed to run out of their own being, run out of whatever the stuff was that made them who they were and, drained of themselves, turn into the sort of people they would once have felt sorry for. It was as though while their lives were rich and full they were secretly sick of themselves and couldn’t wait to dispose of their sanity and their health and all sense of proportion so as to get down to that other self, the true self, who was a wholly deluded fuckup.” -Philip Roth, American Pastoral
    Well, at long last, we’re finally here. Put on a suit and tie, take the #2 clippers to your hair, and bite into the lightning-blast-to-the-teeth cold of a frozen chocolate-covered banana, because today is the day we tackle the unstoppable force (or is it immovable object?) of Bigfoot Bjornsen. The foil and nemesis and brother and partner and shadow-self to our wayward hero Doc Sportello, Bigfoot is Inherent Vice in flat-topped and flinty microcosm, an exaggerated and funhouse-stretched portrait of loss and longing for times and people passed.And today, we begin the first in a handful of episodes exploring the twisted mind and broken heart of this warped sheet of plastic as he drifts out of a commercial for Channel View Estates and materializes into that very real estate development, just in time to catch his ol’ buddy Doc catching a snooze next to what suspiciously resembles a bloodied corpse… Together, Travis and crime novelist Jedidiah Ayres chew the rag on this human blitzkrieg of broken machismo aggression and sorrow—just who is Lt. Detective Christian F. “Bigfoot” Bjornsen, and why can’t we stop thinking of him?
    About the Guest
    JEDIDIAH AYRESJedidiah Ayres is the author of such crime novels as PECKERWOOD and FIERCE BITCHES, works ropebound with such control and ambition and bloodied romanticism that reading either is akin to seeing Jim Thompson's fallen kingdom of El Rey resurrected for a Cormac McCarthy campfire tale (seriously, read this motherfucker). He also writes about crime fiction and film on his site Hardboiled Wonderland.

    INCREMENT VICE - EPISODE #6: "...not you, bong-brain..." with Drew McWeeny Dec 06, 2019
    Show notes

    ”A wise man once told me that mystery is the most essential ingredient of life, for the following reason: Mystery creates wonder, which leads to curiosity, which in turn provides the ground for our desire to understand who and what we truly are.”—Mark Frost, The Secret History of Twin Peaks
    Inherent Vice is a film that meditates not just on the impenetrable nature of mystery, but rather its reflective nature—the truest mysteries lead not to resolutions, but reflections of ourselves. In the sunstruck and hazylazy seaside mystery that spins from the Golden Fang, ol’ Doc Sportello is able to see himself and his wayward love, Shasta Fay Hepworth. And in the mystery of Inherent Vice, we are able to see ourselves—our loves found or lost or found again or lost forever; we’re even able to see the very world we live in now, with its cruelty and chaos and small kindnesses, in the very world of the film.And it’s in that world of free-floating fear and stormy paranoia that today’s guest, Drew McWeeny, suggests that decency is the only anchor—that when the bitter doom of a dying era takes hold, that’s when the little decencies matter most. It’s an idea we explore with Drew as Doc is finally drawn into the mystery plot of Inherent Vice, where he becomes lost among its purple-shagged walls, missing real estate magnates, chatty (and canny) counter girls, and a certain hypocritical and heartbroken LAPD detective with a thing for frozen chocolate covered bananas.

    INCREMENT VICE - EPISODE #5: "...paranoia alert..." with Jordan Harper Nov 29, 2019
    Show notes

    “There was a desert wind blowing that night. It was one of those hot dry Santa Anas that come down through the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch. On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands' necks. Anything can happen. You can even get a full glass of beer at a cocktail lounge.”—Raymond Chandler, Red Wind
    Los Angeles.The kind of city where anything that can happen, does happen. And everything that does happen, right and wrong, seems to belong here—it couldn’t happen anywhere else. There’s an air of beauty and shame here, a twisted knot of the city’s glory and its sins bound tight together—unlike the comparatively ancient New York, say, L.A.’s sins are still recent, the wounds still scabbed and unhealed across its golden-hued, suntanned skin. Missing neighborhoods, missing gangs, missing loves, missing lives. In this city, turn any corner, walk down any mean street, and you’ll find a mystery, cruel and enticing and magic and heartbreaking, waiting for you there.And that’s just one of the topics touched upon between our host and today’s guest, Jordan Harper, whose epic, feature-length conversation rumbles from such topic’s as L.A. crime, race-based prison gangs, the history of Los Angeles land use and abuse, noir’s unique relationship to L.A., James Ellroy, adapting difficult novels, Jordan’s wrestling with the PTA oeuvre, and much, much more (including where to find the best BBQ in Missouri).
    About the Guest - JORDAN HARPERJordan Harper is the Edgar Award-winning author of the incredible SHE RIDES SHOTGUN and LOVE AND OTHER WOUNDS. He is also a television writer and producer, and wrote/developed the late, great, and unreleased L.A CONFIDENTIAL TV series, which had a pilot so perfect that its demise is final, conclusive proof of God's absence.

    INCREMENT VICE - EPISODE #4: "...tomorrow's another day-which would be today, right?..." with Fran Hoepfner Nov 22, 2019
    Show notes

    ”Thrilled to have finally wholeheartedly enjoyed a PTA movie so now I can make some male friends.”—Today’s guest, on Phantom Thread
    Apocalypse is very much in the air with this episode—as Doc and Denis are whipped by newspaper-munching Santa Ana winds while learning more and more about Mickey Wolfmann, our host is surrounded by the same winds nearly 50 years later during a particularly fiery and windswept day in Los Angeles in 2019. Further, he’s sitting down with Fran Hoepfner—a brilliant writer, an insightful critic, and…someone for whom Inherent Vice simply doesn’t do much.But if you’re going to deep-dive into Inherent Vice, part of that conversation includes the many folks and freaks and friends who just…don’t…care. Or, in certain horrifying cases that may or may not now be part of the permanent record with this episode, just don’t like Bigfoot Bjornsen (gasp!).

    INCREMENT VICE - EPISODE #3: "...like Godzilla says to Mothra, man: let's go eat some place..." with Kayleigh Donaldson Nov 16, 2019
    Show notes

    “So when Doc and Denis came in that night, it wasn't just the usual hungry doper thing. It was something else. And with Neptune moving at last out of the Scorpio death-trip and rising into the Sagittarian light of the higher mind, it was bound to be something love-related. And I thought I knew what it was…”
    There are Inherent Vice fans, and then there’s Kayleigh Donaldson, a writer and critic who has been ardently stanning the film since December of 2012—exactly two years before Inherent Vice was released in theaters. And since that release, she has vociferously declared and defended Vice as Paul Thomas Anderson’s masterpiece.It’s a level of broad, absolute appreciation that leaves her uniquely suited not only for Increment Vice in general, but this scene in specific, in which Inherent Vice’s two very different tonal extremes—potfogged melancholy and zany comic tableaus—are cat’s-cradled together with some heavy heartache, a few slices of of pizza, “Vitamin C,” and a hair-changing intuition, all into a vast lattice of meaning that only grows deeper with every viewing, and every conversation.

    INCREMENT VICE - EPISODE #2: "...I need your help, Doc..." with Kim Morgan Nov 08, 2019
    Show notes

    “It had been dark at the beach for hours, he hadn't been smoking much and it wasn't headlights – but before she turned away, he could swear he saw light falling on her face, the orange light just after sunset that catches a face turned to the west, watching the ocean for someone to come in on the last wave of the day, in to shore and safety.”
    Sprawling yet intimate…digressive yet focused…surfing curlicued wavelengths of obsession and obfuscation—such is a fairly apt way of describing the tone of Paul Thomas Anderson’s Inherent Vice; it’s also a fair assessment of tonight’s megaconversation between our host and writer Kim Morgan.
    Inherent Vice. The death of the 1960s. Regret. Obsession. Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood. The melancholy of oceans. Linda Darnell. Otto Preminger’s Fallen Angel. Shasta Fay Hepworth. Jacques Demy’s Model Shop. John Garfield. Joaquin Phoenix. Time traveler Thomas Pynchon. Drugs. Paul Thomas Anderson. “Vitamin C.” Dead Pigeon on Beethoven Street. Sam Fuller vs. Film Twitter. Josh Brolin. Bigfoot Bjornsen. Neo-noir shootouts. Ralph Meeker. The ambiguities of cinema, life, and self. The cars of Neil Young. Moviegoing in the mornings. The sorrowing hope of Nick Cave. The sweet heroism of Doc Sportello. These are but a few of the subjects Travis and Kim touch upon as they watch the opening minutes of Inherent Vice and ask one another a single, obsessive question: “Why is this so heartachingly beautiful?”
