275 - The Woman in the Window (Patreon Selects)

We're wrapping up our run of Patreon Selects episode with a real doozy! Originally intended for 2019, The Woman in the Window was meant as a prestige adaptation of a popular thriller, packing quite the pedigree. With the attached talents of director Joe Wright, writer Tracy Letts, and star Amy Adams (along with a stellar supporting cast), the film follows an agoraphobic who witnesses a murder across the street, setting off a mystery of mistaken identities and skewed perceptions of reality. Then, it was hit by a rapid succession of misfortunes including the Disney-Fox merger, a cringe-inducing exposé on author A.J. Finn, and, well, the pandemic.

This episode, we talk about what went wrong and what might have been watered down by the Tony Gilroy reshoots. We also discuss Adams' recent run of disappointing roles, our hopes for Nightbitch later this year, and Jennifer Jason Leigh joins our Six Timers Club!

Topics also include the emergence of Fred Hechinger, Julianne Moore's brief boozy performance, and the film's somewhat unceremonious Netflix drop.

Little Women (2019, Greta Gerwig)

26/12/2023

Little Women is a 2019 film written and directed by Greta Gerwig.

The film is the seventh film adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's novel of the same name. The cast includes Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, Laura Dern, Timothée Chalamet, Meryl Streep, Tracy Letts, Bob Odenkirk, James Norton, Louis Garrel and Chris Cooper.

New York, 1868. Josephine "Jo" March is a young teacher who lives in a boarding house and tries to make her way as a writer, however only managing to publish short stories with a local publisher, Mr. Dashwood.

Concord, Massachusetts, 1861.

In October 2013, Sony announced that it was working on a new film adaptation of Little Women, nineteen years after the previous one: Olivia Mich would write the screenplay, for the production of Robin Swicord and Denise Di Novi. In March 2015, produced Amy Pascal joined the development, while Sarah Polley entered negotiations, which later failed, to rewrite the film and potentially direct it. In August 2016, Greta Gerwig was tapped to rewrite the screenplay. In June 2018, in light of the success of her film Lady Bird, she was also made official as director.

Arnon Milchan's New Regency Pictures and Columbia Pictures co-financed the film.

Deep Water (2022)

In today's review I find that somethinb lies in the forgotten depth of Louisiana. As I attempt a #positive review of the 2022 adaption Deep Water #BenAffleck #AnadeArmas #TracyLetts #RachelBlanchard #FinnWittrock #DashMihok #JacobElordi #KristenConnolly

We hardly pay any mind to the entangled politics that go beyond a seemingly stable marriage, jealousy, mind games, and, in some cases, murder. In 2022, following the streaming success of Malcolm & Marie, Adrian Lyne and Sam Levison turned their attention to a 1950s novel, bringing it to the world half a century on, telling a story that was almost lost in Deep Water. Could Vic be guilty of…

Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions presents QUIET PART LOUD, A Fictional Horror Podcast Exclusively on Spotify

Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions presents Quiet Part Loud, A Fictional Horror Podcast with Immersive Audio and Sound Design Featuring Tracy Letts, Arian Moayed, Christina Hendricks, Taran Killam and more!

The Story... Conservative radio personality Rick Egan (Tracy Letts) lost his platform in the wake of 9/11 for spreading xenophobic rumors surrounding a group of missing Muslim teenagers. Eight years later, a washed-up Rick is slumming it on the convention circuit when a mysterious woman (Christina Hendricks) presents a tantalizing revelation: One of the missing teens is back. This sends Rick on a quest for vindication as he follows a trail of unfathomable events. He is left face to face with the true culprit…The Blank (Taran Killam), a faceless sound parasite that thrives on the air of hatred. Rick receives a Faustian bargain from the mysterious entity and is about to find out exactly how far he will go to claw his way back to the top. 

From Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions, Quiet Part Loud is an audio horror fable that explores the terrifying power of a violent, virulent and unrelenting lie. It’s a haunting parable of monsters both human and otherworldly and a fictional but unflinching examination of the current animosity, fear and divisiveness in America.
