Summary

Please take a seat at our table. We trust you are hungry for both food and films because for this show both are on the menu. It’s a combination worthy of its own special Michelin star, a feast for the eyes. Yet have you ever wondered if it looks too easy on screen to be part of a kitchen preparing high quality food? It’s been a topic of conversation at At The Flicks for quite some time. So, for this episode, after much debate, we have selected for tasty offerings and ask the question, do they reflect reality? Obviously, we are not best judged to answer that question as the nearest Jeff and Graham get to fine dining is reaching the front of the queue at MacDonalds. To help in that regard, we have brought in someone with insider knowledge. Say hello to Ian Jones (remember that surname, it’s quite important in the show), a high-quality chef who will guide us through our four selections and tell us what’s right and wrong about each one. Just what are the four films I hear you cry, well, they are these - **Boiling Point** – A single take feature that proports to show one evening service in the life of a London restaurant (and for added value we talk about the short-lived BBC spin off series) - **Burnt** – Bradley Cooper plays a Gordon Ramsey style chef who is trying to overcome his destructive qualities - **Chef** – Jon Favreau writes, directs and stars in a movie that examines both social media and street food. A filling combination. - **Who Is Killing The Great Chefs Of Europe** – One from the 1970’s (Jeff’s choice of course) — a comedy murder mystery set in the world of high-end cooking – and just wait until you hear what the budget for the food was in this feature! We think these four features cover the range from tension to comedy and all show a real love for the food being offered on screen. If anyone listening to this show thinks they can prepare food as good as the chefs working in these features, then please send samples to the At The Flicks offices, we will gladly taste test them for you. Also, if you are a food lover and ever visit Stroud on a Saturday for its world-famous Farmers Market, make sure you visit Ian at the Stroud Smokehouse – his food, as we discuss on the podcast, is out of this world. That’s thumbs up from all of us. All that remains to be said is, prepare your favourite food, go to your most relaxing chair and listen to one of our finest podcast episodes (worthy of two Michelin stars on its own). Enjoy and we will see you soon At The Flicks

Talking Strategy, Making History Richard Flacks Each episode will focus on a different aspect or example of the general theme. Our kick-off frame is the awkward position that progressives find themselves in. It seems obvious, at least to a significant portion of Leftists, that “working within the Democratic Party” has to be part of any realistic strategy for making substantive, social democratic or radical change in the United States. What is far less clear is what this means practically, in terms of organization and elections. For many years, the slogan of the Left has been to work both “inside and outside” the Democratic Party. But what does that “inside” part actually look like?The podcast project comes from our experience as progressive activists--and from the urgency of now. Dick Flacks taught sociology at UC Santa Barbara and Umiversity of Chicago for 60 years. He's of the founding generation of Students for a Democratic Society and helped write the Port Huron Statement (along with Tom Hayden and the big Lebowski). He and hi Flicks with The Film Snob Chris Dashiell Flicks with The Film Snob features a weekly film review focused on new independent releases and old classics.
