Special Report With Teresa Van Hoy

Author: Dylan Davis February 6, 2022 Duration: 2:07:39
Last episode I asked Dr. Teresa Van Hoy from St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas, to go scene by scene with me through Maria Louise Bemberg’s Immortal story about Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz titled “I the Worst of All.” We had such a stimulating conversation I asked her back for a couple of hours so we could discuss important topics as racism and John Ford’s The Searchers, Confederates in film and in stature, and being good Texans we take a deep dive into Mexican and Texas history and film. Teresa Van Hoy teaches history at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas, just a couple of miles away from the Alamo. Look in my notes to for links to her book and Ellen Brodsky’s film “25 Texans in the Land of Lincoln.” If you need to reach me you can email me at thatdylandavis@gmail.com.

Dylan Davis hosts The Super 70 Podcast, a unique audio experience built for film lovers. Each episode is designed as a scene-by-scene commentary track meant to be played in sync with a specific movie, offering deep-dive analysis, behind-the-scenes trivia, and thoughtful observations you might miss on a solo viewing. Of course, you can also just enjoy the conversation on its own during a commute or while doing chores-the insights stand alone. Dylan brings the perspective of a creator himself, having written works like "FLYNN!", "Dating Virginia," "Buffalo Seine," and "Threshold." This background as a writer and a dedicated consumer of culture informs the discussions, which are less about simple review and more about engaging with film as a vital, layered art form. Tune in to this podcast for a guided tour through the details of cinema, where the focus is on understanding the craft and the choices that shape the stories on screen. It’s like having a well-informed friend in the room, pointing out the clever edits, the symbolic set design, or the narrative turns that define a film’s impact. The goal is to enrich your viewing experience and foster a deeper appreciation for the movies, one scene at a time.
