    00:00:00 Music Transition “Switchblade Comb” by Mobius VanChocStraw. A jaunty, jazzy tune reminiscent of the opening theme of a movie. Music continues at a lower volume as April introduces herself and her guest, and then it fades out. 00:00:08 April Wolfe Host Welcome to Switchblade Sisters, where women get together to slice and dice our favorite action and genre films. I’m April Wolfe. Every week, I invite a new female filmmaker on. A writer, director, actor, or producer, and we talk—in depth—about one of their fave genre films. Perhaps one that’s influenced their own work in some small way. Today, you know, you may know that we are social distancing, so remote recording of course. Um, Chicken’s in the other room, so you might not hear her screaming. Um, the wild parrots are out, though. You may hear that flock passing by. Um, so sound is a little bit different in the studio than uh, it usually is. Everything else is pretty much the same, except for today, our guest is different.

  • Hill Hopes to Bring Success
    PUBLICATION: ESPN.com DATE: 6/25/15 Grant Hill hoping to help bring success to Hawks as vice chairman By AP ATLANTA -- Grant Hill always wondered why the Atlanta Hawks struggled to attract big-name free agents. Now the seven-time NBA All-Star faces a challenge to help change that. Hill was introduced as vice chair of the Hawks on Thursday, one day after the franchise and arena rights were purchased for $850 million. Hill has a stake in the new ownership group, led by billionaire Tony Ressler, which hopes to make the Hawks a consistent winner. The Hawks are coming off a franchise-best season, winning 60 games and advancing to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time. In their first 46 years in Atlanta, the Hawks won just four division titles and had only a handful of memorable playoff runs. They were rarely bad enough to earn a lottery draft pick and never good enough to win a championship. "I've always felt there's tremendous upside for this franchise and a tremendous opportunity to really resonate with the community and the fan base here," Hill said. "I think that's starting to happen, and our job is continue to support these guys as they continue to lead this team in the future." Ressler said he and the new owners plan to let the basketball and management staffs do their jobs without interference, adding that the team has a handshake agreement on a new contract with coach Mike Budenholzer to become president of basketball operations. Wes Wilcox will sign a new contract in a promotion to general manager.

  • Award-Wnning Author Ian Thomsen Chronicles the Making of the Hawks in Three-Part Series Exclusive to Hawks.Com
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 5/19/2021 CONTACT: Hawks Communications (404) 878-3800 FROM BUILDING TO BELIEVING: AWARD-WNNING AUTHOR IAN THOMSEN CHRONICLES THE MAKING OF THE HAWKS IN THREE-PART SERIES EXCLUSIVE TO HAWKS.COM ATLANTA – Today the Atlanta Hawks announced that Ian Thomsen, one of the NBA’s most respected writers and voices for more than three decades, has penned a three-part feature, detailing the building of the 2020-21 Hawks team, exclusively for Hawks.com. The first piece entitled “The Investment” will be posted on Hawks.com at https://www.nba.com/hawks/news/investment, with the final two chapters available on Thursday and Friday respectively. Thomsen has covered the NBA since the 1980s at The Boston Globe before spending two decades as a senior writer at Sports Illustrated where he wrote profiles of NBA stars at the NBA Draft, the Finals, Olympic Games and other major moments. Widely known for his longform storytelling, his book The Soul of Basketball details the 2010-11 NBA season and its legacy-defining impact on a number of its stars. At 41-31 (.569), the Hawks finished 5th in the Eastern Conference, earning their first trip to the NBA Playoffs since the 2016-17 season. Overcoming an injury-ravaged season where the team finished in the top three in games missed due to injury, the Hawks rebounded from a 14-20 start to finish 27-11 with the Eastern Conference’s top record since March 1. Atlanta enters their playoff matchup against the New York Knicks on a four-game win streak and having won 11 straight at State Farm Arena, the longest active home win streak in the NBA.
