Bloody Sam: A Peckinpah Fan Podcast

@bloodysam.bsky.social

A Sam Peckinpah fan podcast exploring all of his feature films from Deadly Companions through to The Osterman Weeekend. Coming Soon!

This is from the trivia on IMDb for "Half Past Dead". First off, who are the seven people with no sense of humor that gave this a thumbs down? And second, yes, I had to give it a thumbs up, if that's not helpful I don't know what is.

Sam Peckinpah’s Straw Dogs is one of my favourite films of all time, it is also an admittedly problematic and undeniably controversial work so it makes sense that @scottmurphy.bsky.social and myself needed two and a half hours to even begin unpacking it.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Greetings, new friends! You may know me as an author, a prolific Bluesky poster and 4th place finisher on So You Call That Dancing? But you might not know that my partner Judith (@mzpress) and I have an online arts bookstore that's growing every day. Full inventory here: mzs.press/EVERYTHING-W...

The covers of three books. Left to right: Gandolfini: Jim, Tony, and the life of a legend, about the late Sopranos actor. The cover shows Gandolfini looking shy, peering offscreen with one unobstructed eye and another that peeks out between the fingers of his right hand.
CENTER: The cover of Cinema Her Way, a coffee table book by Marya E. Gates about female directors. On the cover is actress Michelle Rodriguez as the boxer heroine of Karyn Kusama's sports drama Girlfight, about a woman boxer. 
RIGHT David Hockney's painting collection The Arrival of Spring in Normandy, showing a painting of a verdant field. In the background of the field is green grass. in the upper foreground are the branches of a tree sprouting white, cottony buds.

It's a rare podcast appearance by me, alongside the most excellent Scott Murphy, talking about Sam Peckinpah's first great film, Ride the High Country! I really enjoyed this chat.

This month, alongside @pearced.bsky.social we talk about Peckinpah's sophomore feature "Ride the High Country." A film so good veteran star Randolph Scott retired straight after knowing he was unlikely to top it. open.spotify.com/episode/1C6m...
