Description

The sound quality will finally improve from next week onwards as the Reversoscope Trilogy, recorded in one marathon session, comes to an end. We tackle the highly problematic Oscar-winning short THE HOUSE I LIVE IN (1945) and wonder what could possibly be so "communist" about it as one Shocking Twist follows another. Then we're learning a LOT about cigarettes in LUCKY STRIKE SALESMAN'S MOVIE 48-A (1948) and are blown away by a transcendentally beautiful Sinatra performance of "Stardust", jarringly embedded in its entirety amongst a tobacco sales pitch. Rabia wraps things up with a reflection on the discussions about racism we've had throughout these episodes.  Take the online virtual tour of the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia here: https://www.ferris.edu/HTMLS/news/jimcrow/index.htm  Follow us @suddenlypod on Instagram and Twitter, or get in touch at suddenlypod@gmail.com.

SUDDENLY... a radical re-examination of Frank Sinatra's legacy for a new generation; a historical deep dive into his work, beginning with his 60-year film career. We're using Sinatra to talk about the social context of the 20th century from a trans, queer & progressive perspective. We're not here to cancel but to contemplate the uncancellable. hosted by two Australian transgender millennials, Rabia & Felix. insta & twitter: @suddenlypod, email: suddenlypod@gmail.com
