Comedian and actor Patton Oswalt shares the posthumous true-crime masterpiece written by his wife Michelle McNamara, who died suddenly at the age of 46 in 2016. McNamara, a reporter and the creator of TrueCrimeDiary.com, spent years tracking the serial killer she dubbed the Golden State Killer, who, between 1976 and 1986, committed 50 sexual assaults and 10 murders up and down California. Oswalt wrote, “I can't help feeling that somewhere, in her final pages, she left enough clues for someone to finish the job she couldn't—to put California's worst serial killer behind bars.” Also included in this episode is a behind-the-scenes tour of items from the Library's collections. Acting Charles J. Liebman Curator of Manuscripts, Thomas Lannon, hand-picked selections especially for Oswalt, including the Patricia Cornwell collection of Jack the Ripper files, first editions of Philip K. Dick novels, and an album of photographs taken in 1866, of men incarcerated in Dublin's Mountjoy Prison, that are considered among the earliest known examples of the mugshot. https://www.nypl.org/blog/2018/03/05/michelle-mcnamara-and-patton-oswalts-search-golden-state-killer-nypl-podcast-ep-205

After an Academy-Award winning 1970 film made Patton into an American hero, later work began to focus on the details of Patton’s death – and suspicions surrounding his possible murder – by a conspiracy of both the Russians and his own countrymen. Timeline: 1885- George Patton Jr. born in San Gabriel, California. 1915- Asks Pershing if he can join him for the Pancho Villa expedition, made Pershing’s personal assistant. 1916- Personally wounds three of Villa’s men. 1917- Trains troops until September in Paris. Later was the first U.S. serviceman to know how to drive a Renault tank. Began training tank crews. 1918- Involved in major action using tanks against Imperial German positions. Lead from the front, stood on a tank to motivate his men. Was shot terribly through the leg. Evacuated to recuperate in September. Later had a son, so it could have been worse. 1920-30- Patton is involved in all sorts of tank-related things. He insists on the formation of all-tank forces. 1940- U.S. Army starts two new armored divisions. Patton is tasked with running one of these. Fully mobile divisions with loads of tanks. Engages in tank maneuvers and develops doctrine. 1942- Captures Casablanca, Morocco from Vichy France.

Then in Battle of the Bulge, he saved the day and relived Bastogne in short order. 1945-Feb- Finishing moves on Germany, crosses into Saarland. Easily takes the Siegfried Line. Crosses the Rhine unopposed. 1945, May- War is done. Patton prevented from taking Prague and found out the leadership wasn’t interested in beating the Soviets to Berlin. Overall, he was not in particularly hard fighting, lost 2k KIA and 8k WIA going form the Rhine to the Elbe.

Patton Oswalt stops by the Googleplex for a conversation moderated by Bob Purvy, lead for the Google Cinema Club. New York Times bestselling author, comedian, and actor Patton Oswalt shares his entertaining memoir about coming of age as a performer and writer in the late ’90s while obsessively watching classic films at the legendary New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles. Between 1995 and 1999, Patton Oswalt lived with an unshakeable addiction. It wasn’t drugs, alcohol, or sex. It was film. After moving to L.A., Oswalt became a huge film buff, absorbing classics and new releases at least three nights a week at the New Beverly Cinema. Silver screen celluloid became Patton’s life schoolbook, informing his notions of acting, writing, comedy, and relationships. Set in the nascent days of the alternative comedy scene, Oswalt’s memoir chronicles his journey from fledgling stand-up comedian to self-assured sitcom actor, with the colorful New Beverly collective supporting him all along the way. Ideally timed for awards season, when everyone’s mind is on Hollywood, Silver Screen Fiend follows up on the terrific reception of Oswalt’s New York Times bestselling debut, Zombie Spaceship Wasteland. Already a beloved fixture on the comedy stage, on television, and in film—not to mention his 1.1 million Twitter followers—Oswalt announces, with this second book, that he’s also here... === Original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJpRHQ3IBxk Downloaded by http://huffduff-video.snarfed.org/
