POP ART: Episode 119, Ben Hur/One Eyed Jacks

A DISH BEST SERVED COLD: “One God, that I can understand; but one wife? That is not civilized” For these two films, I and a newcomer to Pop Art, Sammy Juliano (author of Paradise Atop the Hudson, Irish Jesus of Fairview, and other novels), discuss two films revolving around revenge.

Sammy and I especially had a great discussion on such topics as why revenge fascinates us. How satisfying is revenge. The directors William Wyler and Marlon Brando. And, oh, that chariot race. Check it out.

Also check out Sammy’s books on Amazon, including his most recent one, Mikey’s Absolution https://www.amazon.com/stores/Sammy-Juliano/author/B09NCN9JQW?ref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true
