Hugh Grant is most well known for his comedic and gentler performances in “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and “About A Boy.” That's not what you're getting from ol Hughie in this week's movie I'm reviewing, “Heretic.” In this movie he comes off like he'd be right at home being roommates with Hannibal Lecter. He plays the mysterious Mr. Reed, who two Mormon women visiting his home to perhaps convert him, are unfortunate enough to meet. The women are Sister Barnes and Sister Paxton, played respectively by Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East, and they early on suspect that their conversion attempt might turn into a survival game. Mr. Reed is no uninitiated, uninformed candidate for religious conversion. You realize that he's very well versed in all things religion. However, you also realize he's got other characteristics that are more sinister that the poor sisters just might have to worry about. What are those characteristics? Will the poor sisters make it out alive? Is it worth finding out in theaters? Check out this episode to find out! “Heretic” also stars Topher Grace, Elle Young, Julie Lynn Mortensen, Haylie Hansen, Elle McKinnon and Anesha Bailey.

Nick Hornby has never written the phone book, to use an old expression. But if he did, I'd read it. Hornby is one of those writers who elicits unbridled enthusiasm from his unabashed admirers. Count me in, thanks to books like High Fidelity, Fever Pitch and About A Boy. He always had a love of reading and writing and music and sports. But turning it into a lifetime of books and a way to make a living? That was more than a few years in coming. But come it did. How fortunate are we.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This time in the Film Stories podcast, the fast turnaround of the first Knives Out movie, and a Hugh Grant-headlined comedy drama, where Four Weddings Hugh Grant was absolutely not required.Writer/director Rian Johnson has admitted in the past that he's not a fast writer. However, when an opportunity arose to bring a murder mystery whodunnit to the screen - long a passion project of Johnson's - he was going to have to move fast. Thanks to his Star Wars commitments, he and producer Ram Bergman had a 12 month window to write Knives Out, cast it, finance it, and shoot it. All in one calendar year.2002's About A Boy didn't move quite that quickly, but this time the catalyst was a novel from Nick Hornby that got leaked to Hollywood early. A big bidding war led to a big cheque for the rights - but there'd be a change of director, a brief flirtation with Brad Pitt and a change of studio before it ultimately got made.Stories of both films are told in this episode.---Film Stories print magazines can be found at store.filmstories.co.uk---Find Simon on Twitter and Bluesky at @simonbrew, and the podcast can be found at @filmstories Hosted on Acast.

We couldn't escape the specter of a bonafide Hugh Grant comedy anymore. The guys behind AMERICAN PIE felt they had what it took to adapt a Nick Hornby book, and the Tomatometer rewarded them with a mind-blowing 93% score. That's what we call “Prime Contrarians Material” around these parts, and patron Jamie Russell seems to agree!

Does Alex really hate Hugh Grant's romcom persona or was he just putting on a show in Contrarians Corner? Can Julio focus on anything besides Rachel Weisz' presence in this movie?

#164 Armageddon Time, Athena, About A Boy This weeks' show is brought to you by the letter ‘A.' A is for Armageddon Time, the latest film by James Gray; a coming-of-age tale set in NY in 1980. A is also for Athena; a story of three brothers entrenched in a modern politically violent setting that is fueled by small logic and big passion. Lastly, A also happens to stand for About A Boy; 2002's unlikely rom-com that hides behind a beautiful and comical friendship between a child and a man-child.

This week, we're talking about pop culture we were told we should watch when we're feeling down. But we didn't...because you're not the boss of us. Tessa finally starts watching Maniac, Sam picks back up on White Collar, and Andy reads High Fidelity. We're also saying goodbye to Andy, one of the founders and original hosts of MoMBl. We wish him well on his dreams of dissertation completion and being his daughter's favorite father. 2:37 - Maniac 16:30 - White Collar 33:40 - High Fidelity
It's been a few years since we last brought you ANNIVERSARY MONTH but we're back to return to one of our favourite traditions as we go over four films in the next month that are celebrating their anniversary in 2022! And given we are so in love with the films of 2002, we're bringing you four films from that year, starting off today with the incredibly underrated gem that is About A Boy. How amazing is this film and why does it need more love? Is Hugh Grant one of our favourite actors that we just don't talk about enough? How amazing is Nicholas Hoult and why is it obvious he was always set to be a star? Is Toni Collette one of the best and most underrated Australian actors? Why is this movie just so relatable, particularly for men? Why is this movie basically a biopic for Ben? Do we find dead ducks that funny? Do we want to listen to more Badly Drawn Boy? Are we completely silenced by Rachel Weisz? Was this movie ahead of its time? And is any man actually an island? Get your bread ready and begin to strum your song with your fingers for an amazing episode on an amazing movie!★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
We have a unique and enlightening interview for you for this month! This is the after show for Mostly Dead Things written by Brian C. Brown (Lucy In The Sky, About A Boy, Bad Monkey) and Jessica Lee Williamson (I'm Dying Up Here, F Is For Family) based on the book by Kristen Arnett. In this interview we discussed Brian and Jessica's experience as veteran storytellers from The Moth. The Moth is clearly an underused potential path to television writing. A path with no barrier to entry too! Jessica told us about a brilliant piece of conceptual art in Los Angeles that she was behind. We discussed the great state of Florida, adapting books into television shows, and so much more. Enjoy this one and thanks for listening! We'll see you next month!For more Dead Pilots Society episodes and information about our live shows, please subscribe to the podcast!

We have a super fresh and well written pilot for you this month! It's called Mostly Dead Things written by Brian C. Brown (Lucy In The Sky, About A Boy, Bad Monkey) & Jessica Lee Williamson (I'm Dying Up Here, F Is For Family). After the death of their patriarch, a dysfunctional family of Florida taxidermists spirals out of control, coping with their loss through redneck love triangles, interspecies porn dioramas, and a bunch of cute squirrels stuffed full of narcotics. Briana and Jessica are both award-winning Moth storytellers. Their pilot Mostly Dead Things is based on Kristen Arnett's best-selling novel and it was sadly passed on by FX. Our cast for this one was special! We have Allison Tolman (Good Girls, Why Women Kill) as Jessa, Ritesh Rajan as Milo (Russian Doll), Cyrina Fiallo (Life In Pieces, Brooklyn 99) as Brynn Morton, Nicole Travolta (Anger Management) as Kendall, Marcus Bishop-Wright (Out Of Order!) as Whit, Lizzy Peet (How To Get Away With Murder) as Libby, Corey Ryan Forrester (Well Red Comedy) as Big Kid, Uly Schlesinger (Divorce) as Bastien and Andrew Reich with stage directions.

Len and Beave discuss the work of Nick Hornby in rhyme and riddle, like two true literary dudes.

Rich Nelson and Catrin Lowe from Don‘t You Want Me? podcast return to Flixwatcher remotely to review Rich's choice About A Boy. About A Boy is a 2002 comedy-drama starring Hugh Grant, Toni Collette and Nicholas Hoult, directed by Paul Weitz and Chris Weitz it is based on the Nick Hornby novel of the same name. Grant stars as Will, a man child living without responsibilities, commitments or having to work living off royalties from a song his father wrote. He meets Marcus (Hoult) on the day his mother Fiona (Collette) attempts suicide. The two strike up an unlikely friendship and teach each other life lessons. Knowing and winking at the audience (references to everyone's favourite film mum Collette being in The Sixth Sense) with an excellent Badly Drawn Boy film soundtrack About A Boy manages the delicate balance of comedy and seriousness to leave you all warm and fuzzy inside. Scores for recommendability were solid if not sensational and a high small screen score gives About A Boy a decent overall rating of 3.82.

Crystal Mcgrath, A Multi-Passionate Woman, Inspires All Through Music and Coaching We are going all the way up to Calgary, Canada today as we meet with a musician, activist, podcast host and inspirational influencer. She is a multi-passionate entrepreneur, inspiring individuals to live to their highest potential. Let's welcome to the show, Crystal McGrath! Crystal's latest single “About a Boy” was released last June 2021. She blends a pop drum beat with a traditional country backing band to create a sound that is all her own. It tells the story of a confident girl who still longs for the connection from a relationship and finds herself distracted with the memories of her past. Her style blends two different musical flavors into something that any music fan would enjoy! Crystal does not only do music, she's also an advocate for women's empowerment, and wants women to feel that they can go after any goal that they hope to achieve. To promote this message, she founded “Live with Love,'' an online platform with the mission of helping women live their best life through movement and mindset. She also has a podcast, “Crushing Chaos,” and she can also be seen regularly hosting her video podcast, “The Artists Behind The Music.” Crystal lives by the words of poet John Greenleaf Whittier's poem “Don't Quit” to which she also shares with us in this episode. Her personal mission statement is to inspire individuals to live their best life and she does it through many different ways. We are about to learn more about this here on the dHarmic Evolution with Crystal Mcgrath.

And I really try to do that through my music, through my coaching, through my fitness company, through my podcasting, through conversation, and connection, and through social media.” 34:35 “It's just so important to be healthy and fill your body with healthy things…” 36:50 “I love combining music coaching with movement coaching and meditation coaching. I love combining all of them for clients just to have a really well rounded experience on how I can show up as my best so I can perform my best?” 39:50 “It's been a long journey of really being okay, with this is who I am and it doesn't matter what other people are doing. It doesn't matter what other people are saying, or thinking, or feeling. Let them be them, and let me be me. Really giving myself permission to step into my powers has really been a big thing for me the past few years.” Timestamps: 01:42 Introducing Crystal Mcgrath 04:34 Crystal tells us about her experience in touring and visiting Australia. 06:23 How did Crystal survive the pandemic and where did she spend most of her time? 08:06 Crystal shares her timeline in releasing her songs in the midst of the pandemic. 09:35 With all the depression with artists, how would Crystal rate where she is emotionally? 12:51 Listen to “About a Boy” by Crystal Mcgrath 16:19 How was “About A Boy” made? 18:23 The sense of freedom that she felt having another artist write a song for her. 20:59 Crystal takes us to her studio experience while producing “About a Boy.” 23:07 How did she start her music podcast, and how did it transpire and come to fruition? 25:40 Crystal lets us know about what an inspirational influencer is. 26:50 Listen to “Game on” by Crystal Mcgrath 30:17 Crystal talks about her fitness company. 31:42 Crystal gives us ideas, special hacks and tricks to help people out to eat healthy and good food 35:12 How does Crystal do her coaching? 36:06 What areas of music coaching does Crystal do? 37:07 How did Crystal find her voice, and who are her music influences? 41:17 What does Crystal think is the biggest challenge today for artists and musicians? 43:45 Crystal's message to her fans, and the dHarmic evolution listeners, especially for the younger people who are upcoming artists 46:21 Where is the best place to connect with Crystal? 47:29 Listen to “Ride On” by James Kevin O'Connor Spotify Playlist: Have you checked out the Spotify playlist?

"The film, directed and co-written by Paul Weitz, too often goes for the easy resolution, the syrupy payoff and the sense that every character in Matt's orbit is just, like, really really nice." What's wrong with nice, Kevin Maher of The Times? Well... some things are wrong with what one host dubs ABOUT A BOY 2 (such is his fandom of The Auteur Paul Weitz) but the NICER host just wishes people would leave Kevin Hart alone. Kevin Hart in this new release on Netflix, that is. Kevin Hart the real person is doing just fine. He has Netflix money. And we don't. Give us money instead. There is a link below to do just that.

Jacob Hopkins talks joining the "How To Train Your Dragon" universe, playing a vampire as a child, growing up on TV, and a few times casting told him to pack his bag....when he didn't need to!About Jacob:Jacob's big break came when he landed a role on the fifth season of the popular HBO series True Blood. In the critically acclaimed show, Jacob played Alexander Drew, the youngest (looking) member of the Vampire Authority. Having turned at the age of nine, his character was an impetuous vamp who liked to taunt those around him. Jacob shared the screen with fellow Authority chancellors Christopher Meloni, Peter Mensah, and Carolyn Hennesy as well as lead actors Alexander Skarsgard and his Priest co-star Stephen Moyer.At nineteen, he is making his mark in the voice over world. He voices the lead character, Fushi, an immortal being who takes on the form of deceased nameless boy in the anime series To Your Eternity. The show is based on the Japanese manga series of the same name and is airing now on Crunchyroll. He can also be heard on Netflix's Dragons: Rescue Riders as Axel Finke. The show is a spin-off of the fan favorite movie, How to Train Your Dragon. He also honed his comedic chops as the voice of Gumball Watterson in Cartoon Network's animated hit The Amazing World of Gumball,one of his favorite shows. The BAFTA Award-winning series chronicles the adventures of an amusing twelve-year-old cat with a fair for misadventure, and his extraordinary suburban family, who live in constant conflict with their ordinary town. The second highest-rated cartoon on the network, Gumball has been praised for its “first-rate silliness” and “really clever spin on domestic chaos” by Variety.Jacob is definitely no stranger to the small screen. Following his success on True Blood, he landed a recurring role on The Goldbergs. In this hilarious comedy, Jacob plays Chad Kremp, who is a cool and preppy kid on the surface, but a geek at heart. His character becomes instant friends with Adam Goldberg (Sean Giambrone) as they share a love for all things geeky. The series also stars Jeff Garlin and Wendi McLendon-Covey. Jacob was also seen in the Lifetime Movie Missing at 17, which tells the poignant tale of the struggles a family faces when their teenage daughter goes missing. As the younger brother Andrew, Jacob plays a pivotal role in helping his parents find his missing sister. Other notable television credits include guest roles on How I Met Your Mother as well as About A Boy and Animal Practice.Jacob has also ventured on to the big screen. His first feature film was Priest, where he had a small but memorable role opposite Paul Bettany and Stephen Moyer. Jacob also lent his talents to the short film The Boy Who Cried Fish, where he gave a moving performance as an autistic child. Jacob's performance was praised by fans and critics alike, earning him a "Best Male Performer" award at the Action on Film Festival. In Just a Little Heart Attack he played the very smart son of Elizabeth Banks, who also directed the project. He also starred as the supporting lead in CBS Films Middle School: Worst Years of My Life as Miller. Jacob further showcased his acting prowess in two web series. He was cast in RCVR, which was honored as Best Drama Web Series at the 2012 International Academy of Web Television Awards and Supermoms, where he co-starred opposite Joey Lauren Adams. Jacob will return to the world of film in Carolina's Calling, which stars Antonio Sabato Jr., Stacey Dash, and Savanah Moss.

Almost two months after Jon Bernthal was beaten up in up in another Taylor Sheridan joint. This episode starts (strangely) with a little HE-MAN talk, moves on to the merits of The Boy from ABOUT A BOY as a lazy hitman and then we break up Taylor Sheridan's no-hitter. Or rather his latest film THOSE WHO WISH ME DEAD does that for him. It did nothing for us. But for you, dear listener... well, now you have this podcast. Enjoy!

It’s the big one! We’re finally watching ‘About A Boy’, the movie that ultimately catalysed our silly little pod. So excited was Zoe this week that she watched it twice, which is a mere drop in the ocean compared with how many times she’s seen it before. In what we’re dubbing ‘Hugh’s most iconic role’, our leading man plays a disgruntled manbaby trying to gamify his sad little life. Join us as he attempts to have discerning taste (while owning a huge poster that just says ‘jazz’ on it), picks up women at a single parent support group (successfully), and meets a child called Marcus who he doesn’t offer cigarettes to (against type). Will this pathetic but inexplicably sympathetic man ever grow up? Are they gonna be able to shoehorn those 20 mins of romcom in at the end? How the heck did Nicholas Holt end up in Skins? All these questions will be answered as we watch the definitive entry into the “babies doth suck” genre of Hugh movie.

It seems like an age since these guys won The X Factor. They were the first group to win. One Direction couldn't do it, but Little Mix did! Jesy Nelson, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall have established themselves as the world’s biggest girl band. The numbers are astounding and back up that claim. They have sold over 50 million records worldwide, collected over 17 million Spotify listeners, received over 3 billion Youtube views, collated 12 billion streams worldwide and won 2 Brit Awards. Now, this year Little Mix launch a brand new TV series for BBC One, Little Mix:The Search. This isn't their first telly foray as Jesy herself has won a National TV Award for her compelling documentary about bullying called Odd One Out. In an open and engaging interview, Jesy told Fergal D'Arcy about how the lockdown has effected them as a band but more how it has become such a font of positivity for getting closer to fans and how we are now seeing the good side of social media. Mental Health It hasn't always been such a positive place and Jesy suffered from online abuse so much that she made an award winning television documentary on how it affected her mental health.(see above) She tells Fergal: Social platforms like TikTok are making people happy through positivity. If you are happy within yourself you don't need to make other people unhappy. People that leave passing comments and think you're not going to see it or that it doesn't make a difference. They don't realise the hurt they cause others. And she reveals that she was once in Harry Potter and About A Boy before Little Mix plus Jade has the SAME TATTOO AS FERGAL D'ARCY!! Plus, Jesy talks about their amazing superfan Kayleigh who makes their lyric videos. They are OUTSTANDING: View this post on Instagram I can’t believe I can finally tell you all that my BIGGEST dream came actually true... I’ve been asked to make LITTLE MIX’s Lyric Video of their new single Break Up Song!!!! It is such a BOP and I’m so so grateful to be involved with the promo of this incredible song / masterpiece. I’m in LOVE with this song since I first heard it. It has been unreal. I still don’t believe that this happened to me and that I got this opportunity to create something for these talented women. Someone pinch me!! If someone would ask me: “What is your dreamjob?” It would be this. It wouldn’t have happened without all your support throughout the years. Thank you all so much... aaaaaah❤️ (Is this real? Or am I dreaming?) P.S. GO buy and stream Break Up Song NOW!!!!

Remember that 2002 movie starring Hugh Grant called About A Boy? You know, the one where he plays a bachelor able to live comfortably on royalties he receives from a single Christmas song? Just wait till you hear the story on "Christmas Wrapping"! Meet Chris Butler, guitarist and primary songwriter for The Waitresses. Chris is just your run-of-the-mill artist who…wrote his biggest hits from a woman’s perspective, records music without the benefit of electricity and lives in a serial killer’s house. If that’s not enough, he also grew up in Ohio in that late 70’s music scene that gave us Chrissie Hynde, DEVO et al. And while attending college at Kent State, he took part in that infamous Vietnam War protest that resulted in the death of a close friend. I hope you’ll find this emotional roller coaster episode with the witty Chris Butler as fascinating to listen to as I did to record.
For part one of our soon to be podcast Christmas classics, WEB BIST of... well many appearances on host Mike's podcasts is back on THE GRAND GESTURE to give his insight into the island living of Hugh Grant's character in ABOUT A BOY. This being a holiday episode and all we get into the the appropriate time to be honest about declaring yourself a happily lecherous man (presumably not at the time you are declining the title of a child's godfather), make up and break ups feeling more honest with a twelve year old boy than Rachel Weisz and... well based on the previous two points maybe it's just best to not be honest? The wrong lessons are learned but we do talk about toys we want for Christmas.
