Bringing out the Dead (1999) with Xxavier Edward Carter

How did they ever make a movie of Lolita??? We attempt to answer that question with our guest Sophia Longoria, who is a Galveston-based artist that explores her personal experiences with inherited trauma and mental illness through figurative painting. As we discuss this movie directed by Stanley Kubrick, Sophia examines the repetitive use of the term "normal", allowing the viewer to see the inherit fallacy in this concept as it is used to describe predators. By cloaking the villains with the flavor of banality, this dark comedy shows us how humor can make us feel uncomfortable when it is sprinkled on top of a monster.  See Link Below For An Explanation Of A Therapy Called Cognitive Behavior Therapy That Has Helped Sophia To Be Well! www.mayoclinic.org Also If You Feel You Need Some Help Out Of A Dark Place Please Seek It Out!! Here's A Number Below To Reach Out. www.suicidepreventionlife.org Tangents include: Woody Allen, Jorden Peterson, NIMBY, 2022 Oscars, Alfred Hitchcock, Shelly Duvall, Dan Savage For more information about Sophia's studio practice, check out her work on Instagram @seriesofdots and website www.seriesofdots.onfabrik.com Follow us on Instagram @artists.talk.movies--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/erin-stafford/support

Basquiat (1996) with Lance Letscher

Margaux Crump

Did ye make some unholy bond with that goat? The answer is most definitely YES! With themes such as original sin, isolation, and infant sacrifice, how could we say no to our guest artist Margaux Crump with the psychological horror movie The Witch, directed by Robert Eggers in 2015. Both Heyd and Erin watched as the Puritan family battle the forces of evil that manifested into the iconic goat named Black Philip as well as mysterious witches in the woods. Even though this isn’t considered a feminist text, Margaux discusses her connection to the titular character who occupies a liminal space that allows for kindred connections between us and the worlds that we haven’t quite yet figured out. Tangents include: refugee camps for witches, Blue Fugates family, Goya paintings, school dress code, Spiritualism, Erin's ghost story For more information about Margaux's studio practice, check out her website www.margauxcrump.com and instagram @margauxcrump Follow us on Instagram @artists.talk.movies--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/erin-stafford/support

Sankofa (1993) with Dr. Fahamu Pecou

Buckle up listeners as Heyd and Erin discuss the both loved AND hated psychedelically nauseating film Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas with Houston-based artist Patrick Turk. The dizzying aesthetics of the film relates directly to the sculptural collages made by Patrick with trippy repetition and radial designs while using anachronistic imagery sourced from science-fiction novels, encyclopedias, history, and scientific diagrams that seem to morph both time and space. With every drug induced stupor, we explore themes related to patriotism and moral panics that melt our perceptions of reality and make us question if we should continue to hump the American Dream. Tangents include: D.A.R.E., Half-Priced Books, art school (again!), GOOP, Liberace, 14th wax medical models, Heyd and Erin’s Colorado “trip” For more information about Patricks's studio practice, check out his website www.patrickturk.net and instagram @patrickturk76 Follow us on Instagram @artists.talk.movies--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/erin-stafford/support

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) with Patrick Turk

Welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, well. Heyd and Erin have invited Chicago-based artist H Schenck to discuss Stanley Kubrick’s futuristically squishy film A Clockwork Orange, which resonated with H as a teenage youth due to its subversive themes of masculinity and the “ultra-violence”. This movie explores the story of Alex, the gang leader of the “droogs” who go about terrorizing their victims whilst singing ironically upbeat toons such as “Singing in the Rain”, taunting them mercifully. After being charged with murder, Alex is brainwashed by the Minister to feel a deep aversion to violence and crime.  We invite thou to play the old Ludwig van and pour a glass of “milk-plus” as we ponder the concepts of free will and societal moral panics. Viddy well listeners. Tangents include: baby talk in the bedroom, moral panic à la Marilyn Manson and video games, artists as sponges, police brutality, sexy Bible verses, queer composer Wendy Carlos, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teaching of Plants More suggested reading from H: A Better Man: A (Mostly Serious) Letter to My Son, Pass with Care: Memoirs, The Misunderstanding of the American Boy For more information about H's studio practice, check out his website http://www.hschenck.com/ and instagram @hschenck_reclaim_space Follow us on Instagram @artists.talk.movies   ---   Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/erin-stafford/support
