The Weirdest Thing

著者: Scotty Milder and Amelia Ampuero
  • サマリー

  • Writer/filmmaker Scotty Milder and actor/theatre director Amelia Ampuero are weird. They like weird things. And they like to talk about them. From volcanos inspiring classic works of literature, to serial killers and UFOs, to “accidental foods” … nothing is too spooky, quirky, or downright strange for these two.

    We've got another WILD art-heist story this week. Amelia tells Scotty the tale of William de Kooning's 1955 masterwork "Woman-Ochre," the...ahem...eccentric couple who (likely) boosted it from the University of Arizona Museum of Art, and the New Mexico antique-store owners who played an integral role in its eventual rediscovery.

  • TWT Pocket Size #10: "Hearts of Darkness"/"Every Little Step"
    2025/04/30

    Scotty and Amelia dive into two of their favorite respective documentaries this week, specifically dealing with big egos, wild creative visions, and singular artistic ambitions. They start with 1991's "Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse," which is about the making (and near unmaking) of 1979's "Apocalypse Now," and how the out-of-control production nearly drove director Francis Ford Coppola over the edge. They follow that up with 2008's "Every Little Step," which details the casting process behind the 2006 Broadway revival of "A Chorus Line," and how that process--cattle-call auditions, grueling rehearsals, brutal callbacks--reflects the storyline of the original 1975 musical.

    2025/04/25

    Scotty's been teasing this one for awhile. This week he delves into another rock-and-roll urban legend--and the history of his all-time favorite band--when he tells Amelia the story of Pink Floyd's 1973 album "The Dark Side of the Moon," and its strange (and disputed) connection to the classic 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz."
