The Visual Fallacy

Thirty years back, filmmaker Whit Stillman charmed audiences with a comedy about two Americans abroad in chaotic Cold War Europe. He joins Rob, James and Peter to discuss his movie Barcelona, cinema as an artform and as a business, and reasons for hope regarding its revival as a crowd-pleaser. Plus: Rob's returned from Morocco, Peter's got big news, and James has a plan for the post-CCP TikTok. - Soundbites from the opening: Chris Eigeman and Taylor Nichols in Barcelona; Bob Hope at the Academy Awards in 1968; and Brendan Fraiser at the Oscars on Sunday.

Pride and Prejudice

This week, we take a little break from politics to bring you one of our favorite people -- writer/director Whit Stillman, who's new movie Love & Friendship is in theaters now. We talk Jane Austen (the movie is based on Austen's novella Lady Susan), his writing process, and some of Stillman's favorite films. Then, Charles C.W. Cooke, newly minted National Review Online Editor (and co-host of the wildly popular Mad Dogs and Englishmen podcast) stops by to discuss the seemingly endless Brexit fallout. Also, Ricochet member Brian Wolf's Confessions of an #AlmostNeverTrumper … And What Could Make Me Change My Mind makes our podcasters confess what might change their mind. We're off next week. Have a great 4th, everyone! Music from this week’s episode: Living In America by James Brown The brand new opening sequence for the Ricochet Podcast was composed and produced by James Lileks.
