  On-Trend: Conforming to the latest fashion; or in Nick’s case, a sarcastic summary of how being married to a yoga instructor has changed his life from a sports watching, beer drinking kiwi bloke to a world of essential oils, occasional chairs and emotional goal setting. The special was filmed in New Zealand, one of the few countries in the world that is currently Covid free, so the audience enjoyed the show without social distance restrictions and mask requirements.

  Lacan, the last owner of Courbet’s The Origin of the World, loved the painting so much that he couldn’t even bring himself to look at it. Instead, he hid it behind a “safer” painting.
  The Chinese called it the “valley of the roses” (watch out for the thorns!), the Persians, the “honey-pot” (watch out for the bees!), and the Greeks, “the mound of Venus” (mind the steep climb!); to each era its fantasies and its theories about the feminine mystique. Then there are the testimonies of poets, painters, and even of some famous psychiatrists. The Origin of the World is a work of art only suitable for lovers of intrigue.

  The screenplay writer in Hollywood was a pen-for-hire.  Whatever your status elsewhere in the world here, in Hollywood, you were usually a high-paid weekly contract where your talents, your genius, were at the beck and call of others who spoke of Art but were really mad but we're really the mouthpieces of Commerce. 
   
  But radio for the Hollywood studio system was all about marketing.  On that basis something approaching art could be produced on a regular basis.  This series produced some real gems from all manner of writers as their short stories and plays were remade for a radio audience.  With high production values courtesy of the money from the shows sponsor, Philip Morris, the expert writers and cast delivered marvelous works, as we're about to find out.
