Say goodbye to 2020 with an episode celebrating our favorite goth aesthete and cinematic genius, Orson Welles. Yes, he is a goth icon and in this episode of the Evil Eye, Rob and Samm will explain why — from his dashing cape fashions to his constant use of gothic themes throughout his prolific work as a director, actor, producer, and adapter of literature. The episode focuses on some of his goth-est films from The Stranger (1946) to The Trial (1962) and covers all of our favorite subjects, like WWII conspiracy theories to radical leftist politics.

The Evil Eye is a podcast about goth movies. What exactly is a goth movie? Writers Samm Deighan and Robert Skvarla are two old goths determined to answer that age-old question by exploring various genres including horror, melodrama, and film noir. Each episode will dissect a film that fits the goth aesthetic and explore the music and culture in the year that film was released.

The post Evil Eye Episode 12: The Films of Orson Welles appeared first on Cinepunx.

Tyler and David are joined by Josh Karp, author of Orson Welles's Last Movie: The Making of The Other Side of the Wind, to discuss the various cinematic depictions of Welles.

This week, Owen and Ralph take to the stand in defence of The Trial, Orson Welles' horny and hectic adaptation of Kafka's eponymous novel. But they also take a sip from the bottle of Welles' wider life, aided by a sensationalist Netflix documentary and his final, unfinished film, The Other Side of the Wind. Has Welles aged well, like the finest of champagnes, or is he just a load of trapped wind? Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, your deliberations may begin.

What’s the most important ingredient for making a good first impression? Is it body language? Is it the value you project? And will someone please tell us what to do with our hands?!

On today’s episode we talk about the science, and the most common misbelief, about making a good first impression. Whether you’re trying to impress your new boss, the in-laws, or an interviewer, we’ve got your back on. First we’ll use psychology to design the worst first-impression possible, so we know what not to do. Then we’ll talk about the most important element of making a good impression. And no; it’s no driving an expensive sportscar. It’s much simpler, and much cheaper, and it involves coming off as a trustworthy member of the tribe.

We’ll also talk about the now-infamous blowout fight between Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles, and why the two men took to fisticuffs in a smokey little projection room. We’ll discuss how these two should have been best buds, on-paper (both writers, both prodigious drinkers, both in love with Spain and bullfighting) but ended up discrediting each other’s careers. In part because of their initial sour meeting.
