It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s quite refreshing to see the title pop up in my personal email inbox.<\/p>\n<p>I may be a little biased but I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll say a few things about this series &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>1. Stick it out through the entire series. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve started at a great time &#8211; the 4th episode came out this week (of 7) and I personally think this is when things really pick up.<\/p>\n<p>2. The creators, Brit and Zal have a cult following from their past projects, specifically Netflix\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s The OA (another great watch, but the 2nd season may lean a bit too sci-fi for you). This niche but dedicated community is what has driven our marketing since day 1. They are Brit and Zal evangelists and watching them get giddy over our marketing and dive deep into the details and theories for the series is just as much fun as watching the series itself. I highly suggest perusing their\u00c2\u00a0Reddit page\u00c2\u00a0or\u00c2\u00a0Discord channel.<\/p>\n<p>3. Speaking of the details, what really makes this, and all of Brit and Zal&#8217;s work so special is the passion and details they put into everything. Here are a few of my favorite facts from this series &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>All hacks in the series are real. They had\u00c2\u00a0Moxie Marlinspike (creator of Signal) brought on as a tech consultant.<\/p>\n<p>It was important to the creators to not glorify or eroticize the body of dead women. No bodies of dead women are ever shown &#8211; only skeletons. This approach was inspired by a film called &#8220;Memories of a Murder&#8221; because it gave a sense of haunt and loss for the young women while maintaining a sensitivity that never made it feel like they were being objectified.<\/p>\n<p>Andy Ronson\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s character wasn&#8217;t actually based on any current tech lord billionaires, but instead, is inspired by Willy Wonka. Wonka was a visionary and creative who built a fiefdom, obsessing over every detail, just like Andy and his fortress. The golden tickets come into play as invitations to the retreat and both Andy and Wonka have their own agendas once the guests arrive.<\/p>\n<p>The paintings in the dining area are recreations of Louise Bourgeois\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 &#8216;The Red Sky&#8217; series.\u00c2\u00a0For Bourgeois, colors were symbolic of distinct emotional states. Red represents &#8216;the intensity of the emotions involved,&#8217; and was often synonymous with pain. She equated it with blood, violence, danger, shame, jealousy, and depression. These emotions and visuals parallel the themes of the series. &#8220;Red Sky&#8221; can also reference the sailor&#8217;s quote &#8220;Red sky at night, sailors delight&#8221; foreshadowing Rohan&#8217;s storyline.<\/p>\n<p>I care about this show a lot\u00c2\u00a0and it&#8217;s very cool to see you write about a project I&#8217;m working on after following you since college (over a decade).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Hope you enjoy the rest of the series!<\/p>\n<p>Best,<\/p>\n<p>Brittany<\/p>\n<p>____________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>From: Bill Gerber<\/p>\n<p>Re: A Murder At The End Of The World<\/p>\n<p>I had the pleasure of producing\u00c2\u00a0The In Laws\u00c2\u00a0starring Michael Douglas and Albert Brooks and I totally agree with Albert. He actually came up with the title\u00c2\u00a0The Wedding Party\u00c2\u00a0and it was a really good movie directed by Andy Fleming and I thought should have been a big hit. The studio decided to change the title so late in the game that I had already sent out the crew gifts with the old title. The original was a classic for a lot of reasons and our film was it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s own thing. I have nothing against remakes. They are practically as old as the business itself but you should have a good reason for doing it and having Albert and Michael was a great way to reimagine the story and coming up with an original title for the movie would definitely have been the right move.<\/p>\n<p>Yours,<\/p>\n<p>Billy<\/p>\n<p>____________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>Re: A Murder At The End Of The World<\/p>\n<p>Cool side note, the hotel in the series is based on a real place, Deplar Farm in Iceland<\/p>\n<p>They have a one of a kind recording studio. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m part of the team that runs it.

The fever excitement for this show is because of THE OA, Brit and Zal&#8217;s previous masterpiece. THE OA was notoriously cancelled by Netflix after a mind-bending 2-season run that ended with a jaw-dropping cliffhanger. Fans of THE OA (myself included) have been holding onto hope that the show would somehow come back. You must watch it to understand how it&#8217;s possible for it to come back &#8220;reincarnated&#8221; as another show&#8230;and there is growing speculation that &#8220;Murder at the End Of The World&#8221; may tie-in to the OA universe.\u00c2\u00a0Those who know, knew. Excited to see how this plays out and I cannot recommend THE OA high enough.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Wordburglar<\/p>\n<p>____________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>Re: A Murder At The End Of The World<\/p>\n<p>As far as &#8220;Murder At The End Of The World,&#8221; there&#8217;s a small group of people like myself who were completely mesmerized by an insane two-season series on Netflix called &#8220;The OA&#8221; that was co-produced and co-written by Brit Marling and her creative partner\u00c2\u00a0Zal Batmanglij that I urge you to track down when you can. It&#8217;s weirder and more difficult and far trippier than this show but these two are operating on their own wavelength and that&#8217;s what you&#8217;ve picked up on.<\/p>\n<p>Best regards,<\/p>\n<p>Bruce Stockler<\/p>\n<p>____________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>Re: A Murder At The End Of The World<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Brit Marling.

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not authentic.\u00c2\u00a0Kurt Kobain really did hate his life and want to die. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why he made it happen. Johnny Rotten truly hated authority and embodied the punk movement. The hippies of the 60\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s were all about peace love and happiness and it showed in their music. Tupac and Biggie represented their coasts until their deaths. When Olivia Rodrigo sings a pop punk song, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just imitating what was before it. When Dua Lipa sings a dance song, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s her trying to be disco funk. Greta Van Fleet is just imitating 70\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s classic rock. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no rock stars anymore.<\/p>\n<p>All I see and hear are regurgitations of earlier iterations.\u00c2\u00a0And when there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s some success now, it turns into a massive sellathon.\u00c2\u00a0Rihanna makes it in music then goes off to hock\u00c2\u00a0perfume and join the billionaire class. Being an artist was rebelling. Now it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s all about conforming. Building your brand.\u00c2\u00a0And the music is suffering.<\/p>\n<p>Danny\u00c2\u00a0Jay<\/p>\n<p>Skip Class\u00c2\u00a0and The Dropouts<\/p>\n<p>____________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>Subject: Re: Simon Kirke-This Week&#8217;s Podcast<\/p>\n<p>I love your politics and I&#8217;ve been avid reader for years, but I just recently started occasionally listening to some of your podcast and I have to say that the one with Simon Kirke was absolutely amazing. You ask such insightful, knowledgeable questions and Simon is such an intelligent and natural raconteur that he should probably write a book.<\/p>\n<p>I think Free was one of the most incredible and influential rock bands of all time, and Bad Company was pretty great as well. Being a lifelong working guitarist myself, part of me wishes that you had talked a little bit about the amazing song on Fire and Water, &#8220;Oh I Wept&#8221; , which was a rare Paul Kossoff cowrite and maybe one of the most powerful and beautiful songs I&#8217;ve ever heard in my life, but as I said, I&#8217;m a guitar nerd so maybe it&#8217;s just me. I also would have liked to have heard Simon talk a little bit about the last Free album, &#8220;Heartbreaker&#8221;, which had some of Kossoff&#8217;s most stunning work on it even though he was severely impaired by then, and they had to bring in the great Snuffy Walden (Stray Dog -another amazing but little-known band\/ successful film and television soundtrack composer) to finish it up, but like I said, I&#8217;m a bit of a guitar nerd.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, absolutely one of the best interviews with a musician I have ever heard in my life, and please keep up the amazing work you&#8217;re doing, both with your writing about music, society, the economy, and politics. Thank you&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>David Resch<\/p>\n<p>____________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>From: Steve Postell<\/p>\n<p>Subject: Immediate Family<\/p>\n<p>Bob,<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your kind words about Denny Tedesco&#8217;s wonderful documentary. &#8220;THE IMMEDIATE FAMILY&#8221;. There were 4 guys who made me want to be in a band and write songs &#8230; The Beatles. Some years later, I watched 4 different guys on stage with James Taylor, and I knew that I also wanted to make and produce records, tour, and strive to be a musician who could contribute to a song. I would NEVER have guessed that 40 years later I would be in a band with Danny Kortchmar, Waddy Wachtel, Russ Kunkel and Leland Sklar. Denny has accomplished quite a feat, not just the documenting of a time in rock &#8216;n roll history, but intimately\u00c2\u00a0capturing what it feels like to be part of this crazy life. I know it&#8217;s a great film, because everytime we went to a screening or festival, I figured that since I&#8217;d seen it multiple times I would take a walk and return in time for the Q&amp;A &#8230; but I never did.

While I am sure of course Dave cares about all children, a one-sided comment perpetuates one-sided blame, which further perpetuates antisemitism.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0No, Dave Matthews does not need to stand on stage and mention the details of Hamas\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 October 7 attack where they beheaded and burned babies in ovens, murdered parents in front of their families, raped girls dead and alive, decapitated body parts of living civilians, paraded dead bodies through the street, and kidnapped 250 civilian hostages including women, children, and the elderly.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0Could Dave have just made a general wish for peace? Could Dave have prayed for the safety of all children? If he is going to specify a child from Gaza, on stage at Madison Square Garden, should he also mention the children who were barbarically murdered or being held hostage?\u00c2\u00a0 Especially with so many Jewish fans in attendance. This is New York City after all!\u00c2\u00a0 I was moved by this comment on a Dave Matthews Instagram picture: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I was speechless when I was asked by my 11 year old at MSG 1 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153who did Dave not mention Jewish kids?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d&#8221;.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0I have been a fan for 30 years.
