E65: The Beatles: Get Back

Iain and I discuss the new Peter Jackson documentary about the failed television special that eventually became the Let it Be album. We discuss the complex technology required to pull it off. Plus we get to see each of the group at their best and worst (except the even keeled Ringo).
There are tons of works in progress here that will eventually show up on each of their solo records. You can really see them beginning to come apart at the seams.

Nightmare Alley
Nightmare Alley is a novel by William Lindsay Gresham published in 1946. It is a study of the lowest depths of showbiz and its sleazy inhabitants—the dark, shadowy world of a second rate carnival filled with hustlers, scheming grifters, and Machiavellian femmes fatales.
Gresham attributed the origin of Nightmare Alley to conversations he had with a former carnival worker while they were both serving as volunteers with the Loyalist forces in the Spanish Civil War. Gresham wrote the novel, his first, while working as an editor for a "true crime," pulp magazine in New York City during the 1940s. He outlined the plot and wrote the first six chapters over a period of two years, then finished the book in four months. Each chapter is represented by a different Tarot card.

E60: Psychoanalysing the Twisted Family Dynamic of Succession - PLUS: Sona’s thoughts on Chiantishire

Yet another episode. Sorry they are coming so quickly. The Amazon cloud outage backlogged these.
As we prepare for the finale of Season 3, a bonus episode. I finally catch up with Sona and discuss her feedback regarding episode 8. Then, a new guest, Sara, uses the Roy family as a case study. It's a very interesting conversation that shows that the show writers are definitely taking psychological dynamics into the construction of the show.
Just a couple of days to the finale.
Succession (TV Series)
Chiantishire (2021)
Summary:
After a tense board meeting to discuss acquisition of Matsson's GoJo, Roman shares his suspicions about their mother's new beau with Shiv. As a luxe family wedding gets underway in Italy, Gerri draws a line in the sand with Roman, the Waystar team grows increasingly concerned about Matsson's rogue tweets, and Shiv and Caroline have a heart-to-heart, of sorts.

E58: Succession Season 3 - Episode 8 - Chiantishire

One of the very best episodes of Succession, this week. Did someone die this week? Roman accidentally sexts his dad. And that is maybe the 10th most important thing to occur in this episode.
The internet seems to think so, I disagree.

What does it take to take down a democracy. The Roy family may just find out. This is a grim episode but full of hilarious moments, nonetheless.
