Emily's been waiting years to make us do this one — and with Sam Neill's passing this year, we're honouring him by unpacking his greatest role. Thirty-three years on, we're revisiting the original Jurassic Park and getting into the one decision Spielberg made that keeps it from feeling dated, even as every CGI-heavy reboot has failed to come close.We're also spiralling over the behind-the-scenes bombshell that he didn't even want to direct this — and the wild deal that got it made while he was editing another masterpiece on the other side of the world. Plus our completely unhinged case that Jurassic Park is secretly a feminist manifesto, from the all-female dinosaurs to why the velociraptors are the real heroines.It's nostalgic, it's chaotic, and yes — Emily cried over a fictional dinosaur.TAKE THE SPILL QUIZ HERERemember The Spill drops the tea twice a day in this feed so follow us for all the latest entertainment news… OR you can WATCH our show in full length video on the Apple Podcast app - make sure your phone is up to date and enjoy the watch!

If you haven't seen him in his Emmy-winning turn on SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE, you might have seen him on the (newly Emmy nominated) WIDOWS BAY or PLURIBUS (which has, since this interview took place, earned him his second Emmy acting nom). Or maybe you've seen his memoir, ACTRESS OF A CERTAIN AGE, on the bookstore shelves. If you don't know Jeff, now you will: in this episode, he tells Jordan about his connections to the timeless star-studded Southern dramedy STEEL MAGNOLIAS. But first he shares the significance of a character who brought the romcom "gay best friend" front and center at last: it's George from THE OBJECT OF MY AFFECTION, one of Paul Rudd's earliest roles. Then Jordan has one quick thing about a new can't-miss dad movie, William Kaufman's MAN OF WAR. The cast of STEEL MAGNOLIAS on DONAHUE in 1989 Help support this show and unlock bonus content!

Brad and Paul return to the bad-movie Mount Rushmore with one of the all-time direct-to-video disasters: Samurai Cop. The guys dig into the film's bargain-bin action glory, from its confused buddy-cop setup and wildly inconsistent wig work to the awkward ADR, questionable fight choreography, exploding vans, fake gunfire, and a hero who barely does anything samurai-related until the movie is almost over. Along the way, they celebrate the strange magic of early '90s B-movies, the lost art of video-store roulette, and the difference between a bad movie that fails and a bad movie that becomes legendary. It is cheap, weird, awkward, unintentionally hilarious, and somehow exactly the kind of cinematic wreckage Disasters in the Making was built to honor.

SORRY but we're still here!! And having FUN. From working out in the basement to the saddest B-side on Pink Floyd's The Wall and unpacking post-trip depression to wondering why Italy doesn't have OHIP but for pasta. We make the case for Legally Blonde as a genuinely perfect movie, revisit the idea that a monarch butterfly may have cursed us six years ago, and dive into Liv's deeply concerning obsession with the animorph all 3 Ashton's in the Butterfly Effect. We also chat why every detective movie has a kid drawing terrifying crayon evidence, the legal implications of dads owning camcorders, developing a crush on middle-stage John despite the movie's relentlessly bleak vibe, and whether we'd rather cause a multi-car pileup than hit a squirrel. Also, an important discussion on why we absolutely cannot stand "silver foxes." Thanks for listening and we'll catch you on the flip-phone!
It's crude, it's offensive, and it's far more carefully crafted than it has any right to be. Our two hosts revisit South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut and talk about its incredible soundtrack.

Abi and Matt talk about a movie they've already talked about.
At the peak of his movie stardom and in the wake of having just won several Oscars for Best Picture-winner Dances With Wolves which he both starred in and directed, Kevin Costner (Yellowstone, Bull Durham, JFK) took on the iconic role of Robin of Locksley for his next major project. He partnered with long-time friend and director Kevin Reynolds (Waterworld, The Count of Monte Cristo) to spearhead this this new adaptation of an iconic story, while also filling key roles with several prominent stars of the time including Oscar-winner Morgan Freeman as Azeem, Christian Slater as Will Scarlett, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as Marian, and most importantly at the time.....Alan Rickman (Die Hard) as the Sheriff of Nottingham. What resulted was a very rushed, messy production where several roles ended up being miscast (including California-native Costner as the British Robin) and where the villain pretty much stole the show. And yet when released in June of 1991, this film was a MASSIVE hit (much of that due to Costner's stardom) with several iconic scenes and a best-selling soundtrack. In fact, this would go to be the ONLY genuinely successful on-screen adaptation of the Robin Legend since then.....so did it actually work, does it hold up? Well only one way to find out....and remember that before you embark on this review: No blades! No bows! Leave your weapons here!

Kevin Kline and an Oscar-nominated Joan Cusack have a gay old time in 1997's In & Out. Back then, the comedy was a modest hit with critics and audiences as it juggled social commentary and slapstick humor while tackling a (then) hot-topic theme: homosexuality (gasp!). But now, decades later, should we leave this Frank Oz flick in the closet? When are “gay jokes” funny? And should Kline's character consider pressing charges against Tom Selleck's entertainment reporter? The Old Roommates revisit all the Macho Man madness through their middle-aged lens.

At the very height of his mid '90's superstardom, Jim Carrey (Ace Ventura, The Truman Show, Liar Liar) received a then record-setting $20 million paycheck to star in this dark comedy directed by Ben Stiller (Tropic Thunder, Zoolander, Reality Bites). Carrey starred as a the titular Cable Guy who installs cable television for a newly single bachelor (Matthew Broderick) living in Los Angeles but then makes the mistake of trying to become friends with him and eventually stalking him. :o And hilarity ensues! Well as it turned out, the movie was quite funny but at the time was poorly received for being just too dark compared to Carrey's recent more family friendly comedies. However in the almost thirty years since its release, this has become much more appreciated for its biting satire and is often considered by many fans of Carrey to be among his best performances. Also co-starring Jack Black and Leslie Mann both very early in their careers, it's time to grab a board.....and/or remote....and go channel surfing!!

Revisiting Sergeant Bilko brings nostalgic charm despite its outdated humor. Steve Martin's antics as a scheming con man still entertain, though some jokes haven't aged well. We explore the film's roots, its box office flop, and imagine a modern remake. Whether you're a fan or curious, this episode questions if some jokes are best left in the past.
“The Fugitive” RevisitedA one-armed man wreaks havoc on the life of Dr. Richard Kimble in the 1993 film, The Fugitive. Based on the 1960s TV series, the movie pulled out all the cinematic stops and became a runaway hit, making nearly $370 million at the box office. The Academy soon followed, garnering the Harrison Ford flick with several Oscar nominations and a win for Tommy Lee Jones. But now, decades later, is this cat-and-mouse thriller a little cheesy? Does Dr. Kimble have the worst lawyer in film history? And why does U.S. Marshal Gerard (Jones) look so darn adorable in an old winter hat? The Old Roommates bust The Fugitive out of DVD jail and give it a revisit through their middle-aged lens.

This week on Disasters in the Making, Brad and Paul take on Champagne and Bullets, the 1993 indie action oddity also known as GetEven and Road to Revenge. Written, directed, produced by and starring John De Hart, with Wings Hauser, William Smith and Pamela Jean Bryant, this revenge thriller somehow mixes disgraced cops, corrupt judges, satanic cults, country singing, awkward romance and enough B-movie chaos to make the popcorn file a workplace complaint.

But Lorna Cole, Renee Russo's character in LETHAL WEAPON 3, was the first feeling seen pick that Amber came up with, and the more she examined the pick, the righter it felt.

“Living for the STREEP” Series: We are here to celebrate the career of Mary Louise Streep….now known to most as Meryl Streep who has become widely known by critics, film-lovers, and audiences as likely our GREATEST LIVING ACTRESS. Ever since her earlier breakout roles in the late 1970's in films such as The Deer Hunter, and Kramer Vs. Kramer, she has carved out a filmography filled with brilliant performances in memorable films spanning a variety of genres including biopics, thrillers, family dramas, AND comedies. During this time, she has also earned a STAGGERING TWENTY-ONE Oscar nominations including THREE wins. Over the next several months, I will be revisiting one notable Streep film each month – each highlighting a different type of performance – culminating with the May 1 release of the long-awaited sequel featuring one of her more ICONIC roles as Miranda Priestly, The Devil Wears Prada 2.The legendary Albert Brooks (Lost In America, The Muse, Modern Romance) wrote, directed, AND starred in this afterlife comedy as Daniel, an advertising executve who just died after colliding head-on with a bus. Alas, Daniel now finds himself spending a few days in a otherwordly weigh station named, "Judgement City" where will sort go on trial to "defend his life." What he didn't count on was falling in love....which he does with Julia played by....you guessed it....Meryl Streep. And what results is a life-affirming romantic comedy also featuring fun performances from Rip Torn (Men In Black) and Lee Grant (Shampoo) as opposing counsel in Daniel's trial.

This remains one of the more infamous examples of a professional athlete attempting to become a movie star as former NFL linebacker Brian Bosworth stars as Joe Huff, a tough Alabama cop who goes undercover with the FBI to infiltrate and take down a militia group of bikers lead by Chains Cooper (Lance Henricksen) who has ambitions much more dangerous than just being a motorcyle club. Bosworth's pro football career ended prematurely by the time this was released due to injuries and as a result, this film's reputation soured before it even opened in the spring of 1991. The reviews were bad and it flopped at the box office. However....what if it actually turned out to be a genuinely GOOD action film? As directed by Craig R. Baxley (Action Jackson) who was a former stunt coordinator, this film is jam-packed with impressive action sequences and stunts using various vehicles....and it also features a go-for-broke performance by William Forsythe (Out of Justice, Dick Tracy, American Me, The Rock) as the most menacing member of the motorcycle gang named "Chains." On the eve of its 35th Anniversary, let's revisit the go-for-broke action film which 2002's XXX only aspired to be!Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
**Come see WTO/99 at The Balboa Theater SF on Sunday, April 26th 7:30pm, hosted by Hit Factory featuring a post-screening Q&A w/ director Ian Bell. Tickets are available here.**Filmmaker Caroline Golum joins Aaron to discuss her singular, stunning new feature Revelations of Divine Love (now playing in New York and Seattle with more cities on the way) alongside the work of visionary Winnipegian aueteur Guy Maddin, and his mesmeric, troubled Twilight of the Ice Nymphs. Revelations of Divine Love is a dramatization of the life and holy visions of the 14th-Century anchoress and mystic Julian of Norwich, whose collected writings are the oldest surviving English language texts written by a woman. the film is also, to quote friend of the show critic Robert Rubsam “a plague story; a rebellion story; an expression of the persistent supremacy of Love in a world of nearly unbearable suffering. It is both period-accurate and pointedly anachronistic, carefully handmade and plainly artificial. It is totally remarkable, and then some.”Alongside Caroline, we discuss the linkages between faith and a radical politics, the need for splendor within a vision of a new world, and the ways that the distancing effect of artifice in film binds us to a material history of handcrafted artistry in the medium. Then, we detail the fraught production history and conflicted returns of Guy Maddins Twilight of the Ice Nymphs, a film that famously almost broke the director, and led him to consider quitting filmmaking altogether. Finally, we extract the virtues of Twilight, its place in a canon of "cinema of the erotic lanscape", its gorgeous art direction, and a sublime turn from the inimitable Shelley Duvall.

ANYONE SEEN RITCHIE???That's the central question driving this pulpy action thriller starring Steven Seagal (Under Siege, Hard To Kill, Marked For Death) during his breakout period in the early '90's. Here he plays Gino Felino, a dogged NYPD cop on a mission....to capture the killer of his partner. That would be the aforementioned Richie Madano, a cranked out mob enforcer played by William Forsythe (Raising Arizona, The Rock, Dick Tracy, Stone Cold) who seemes to be on a mission of his own....to rampage around Brooklyn causing trouble. :o And a chaotic cat-and-mouse ensues between cop and robber, leaving in its wake a lot of broken glass and broken limbs! This often (unintentionally) funny action thriller was directed by the late, great John Flynn (Rolling Thunder, Lock Up, Brain Scan) and also co-stars Jerry Orbach, Jo Champa, Gina Gershon, Julianna Margulies, and Dominic Chianese.

**Come see WTO/99 at The Balboa Theater SF on Sunday, April 26th 7:30pm, hosted by Hit Factory featuring a post-screening Q&A w/ director Ian Bell. Tickets are available here.**Prolific filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay joins us to discuss her newest feature The Serpent's Skin (expanding this week to Los Angeles and San Francisco) alongside the high-gloss, sugary sweet, and characteristically transgressive Gregg Araki film Splendor. Structured as a prototypical romantic comedy, the film subverts the classic love triangle dynamic to explore the unique dynamics and language of intimacy that develops between a romantically committed threesome. We begin with a discussion of Alice's latest film The Serpent's Path - a lush, bold trans lesbian fantasy that wears its debts to teen classics like The Craft and Buffy the Vampire Slayer proudly on its sleeve. Then, we dive into the 90s work of Gregg Araki, and how Splendor subverts the expectations laid by the director's previous films in the Teen Apocalypse trilogy while losing none of the director's antagonisms toward the stricutres of heteronormative American society. Finally, we interrogate the film's subtle complexities, how Araki navigates the shifting dynamics of the threesome within the language of the romcom, and how the film pushes past the trap of "selling out vs. buying in" customary to so many films of the decade.

We’ve spent the week spiralling over the Suddenly 30 reboot, and it’s led us down a rabbit hole of our favourite romcoms with problematic premises, that we love wholeheartedly nonetheless. It turns out "romance" in the 90s and early 2000s was often just a crime set to a peppy soundtrack, and we're here to admit it.We're unpacking the supposed romantic "grand gestures" and breaking down the gap between what we want in real life and what we find "hot" on film, from the sex work of Pretty Woman to to why the teacher-student plot in Never Been Kissed still stops us in our tracks.Plus, we have thoughts on the 2026 "Whimsy Drought." We’re unpacking why modern movies feel too polished and why we’re self-medicating with the messy, high-stakes lying of movies like How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. It’s a deep dive into the absolute classics that might just save you from a boring weekend.Love binge-watching TV?

Made during a period of exile in Mexico after Cox's ostensible blacklisting from Hollywood (and the WGA) following the dramatic failure of his 1987 film Walker, the film tells the story of - you guessed it - a rookie highway patrolman in rural northern Mexico as he navigates the job, The System™, and myraid problems domestic and romantic. We survey the signature punk style of Alex Cox as filmmaker, and how he renders Mexico an environment of characteristically seedy texture and aesthetic while preserving nuance, never letting the people or the country become a monolith. Then, we discuss the film's handling of character, specifically protagonist Pedro Rojas (played excellently by Roberto Sosa) and how he relates to two women in the film - his wife (Zaide Silvia Gutiérrez) and his sex worker girlfriend (Vanessa Bauche). Finally, we consider the film's reflections on policing, the things distinctive to Mexico and its people's relationship with law enforcement, as well as those things that remain consistent in how young men become attracted to the job and how value systems and ideology are propagated and preserved.

Cop Gives Waitress Million Dollar Tip was the oh-so specific original title of Andrew Bergman's rom-com, "It Could Happen to You." Released in the thick of summer back in 1994, this sweet little flick didn't stand a chance against The Mask and True Lies. But now, decades later, does this Nicolas Cage and Bridget Fonda matchup deserve a second chance at love? Could you resist Stanley Tucci in a bath towel? And would Rosie Perez have gotten some award love if this had been a December release? The Old Roommates revisit all these "what ifs" through their middle-aged lens.

Back in the '90's, the enduring success of Die Hard helped inspire a slew of action thrillers often focusing on one protagonist taking on a group of terrorists within a confined space....and SEVERAL of them took place on airplanes including Air Force One, Passenger 57, and Con Air. Amidst that crop came this well-liked and successful incarnation taking place on a commercial airplane headed from overseas to Washington, DC.....and hijacked by terrorists who are not only threatening to kill the hundreds of hostages on board but also bringing a dangerous bio-weapon to the launch on the East Coast. :o Fortunately potentially standing in their way are more than just ONE lone man....a savvy CIA analyst (Kurt Russell), several Navy Seals (John Leguizamo, BD Wong, Joe Morton, Whip Hubley), and one brainy bomb expert (Oliver Platt). They have ALL stowed away in the luggage cabin of said plane.....not to mention there's one brave stewardess (Halle Berry) on board who might help them. AND Steven Seagal plays a role too! :) Directed by Stuart Baird (U.S. Marshalls, Star Trek Nemisis), let's get on board and fasten our seatbelts....Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
Of course Brian's picking one of the few "gay" movies of the 90s for his birthday episode. Starring Keanu Reeves and the late-great River Phoenix, "Idaho" was an indie hit in 1991, its box office quadrupling its budget. But, just how gay is Gus Van Sant's male sex worker opus by today's standards? And is this movie a road trip, a love story, a docudrama, a Shakespearian tragedy or something else? And is it simply all too much? The Old Roommates relax by a soundstage campfire and give it all a revisit ... through their middle-aged lens.

Action visionairy John Woo (The Killer, Hard Boiled, Face/Off) directs this high-octane action thriller focused on a couple of "missing" nuclear missiles in the Rocky West and the brewing fight between two Air Force pilots who have different plans for them. Deacon (John Travolta) hopes to use them to threaten to blow up an American city in exchange for a massive amount of money....while his former co-pilot Riley (Christian Slate) tries to stop him and secure the bombs. Also among the cast are Samantha Mathis, Delroy Lindo, Frank Whaley, Bob Gunton, and Howie Long. It also features an iconic score from Hans Zimmer....Ain't It Cool?!?
