Ep. 447: Trump's War of Choice Against Iran is Not a Video Game or Action Movie

Jeffrey Stern is an award-winning journalist and the author of five books, including his latest, The Warhead: The Quest to Build the Perfect Weapon in the Age of Modern Warfare. His reporting has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, and The Atlantic. Stern shares his anger at how President Trump and Pete Hegseth are treating America's war with Iran as though it were a videogame or an action movie, rather than a matter of life and death. He reflects on his New York Times feature "From Arizona to Yemen: The Journey of an American Bomb," and what it means to know the real human beings who are killed and maimed when such weapons are used. Stern also explains why the engineers behind America's so-called "smart weapons" — the Paveway, the Tomahawk cruise missile, and other lethal technology — are not so easily caricatured as monsters. They see their work as saving lives and making the world safer. And Stern draws on his years as a war correspondent to offer hard-earned advice on maintaining our emotional health as we navigate the Age of Trump and this era of global tumult and dread.

A tough-as-nails cop (Chow Yun-Fat) teams up with an undercover agent (Tony Leung Chiu-Wai) to shut down a sinister gun-runner (Anthony Wong) and the rest of his gang in Hong Kong.That's the standard IMDB description for the plot of this film but as directed by master action autuer John Woo (The Killer, A Better Tomorrow, Face/Off, Mission Impossible II), it's SO much more!  Infact this is now remembered as one of the more influential action films of the 1990's featuring Woo's unique blend of balletic action, melodramatic flourishes, and doves. (Well in this case, origami doves) Beloved action star Chow Yun Fat (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, The Killer) leads the charge as "Tequila," a Hong Kong super-cop who has it all: he's good with babies, he plays a mean clarinet, and he can dispatch with any number of bad guys with a nickel-plated Norinco pistol in each hand. ;) Decades before John Wick would reinvent the action genre with "gun fu," this international sensation did it first....and better? Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella 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/

This one sits comfortably in familiar territory. It's exactly the kind of action movie you expect here—solid fights, Jason's stoic lead, and a by-the-numbers story. The biggest surprise is the young girl, who brings real emotional weight and plays well off the main character's no-nonsense vibe. The downside? It's very familiar. If you've seen similar recent Stathom action outings, you've basically seen this already. The opening drags longer than it needs to, and once it gets going, nothing really surprises. Bottom line: it's not bad, just repetitive. A decent throwaway action flick—fine for a stream, mildly entertaining, but nothing to rush out for. #ShelterMovie #ActionMovieReview #ActionThriller #MovieReview #NewMovies #StreamingWatch #ActionFans #FilmTalk #PopcornMovie #MovieCommunity

The Bourne Identity (2002) Full Movie Reaction, Breakdown, Commentary & Spoiler Review! — with hosts Gregory Alba, Aaron Alexander & Jon Maturan diving into the pulse-pounding spy thriller that reinvented the espionage genre for the modern era and launched one of the most influential action franchises of the 21st century. Directed by Doug Liman (Edge of Tomorrow, Mr. & Mrs. Smith), The Bourne Identity stars Matt Damon (Good Will Hunting, The Martian) as Jason Bourne, a man pulled from the Mediterranean Sea with no memory of who he is — only the lethal skills of a trained operative. As Bourne pieces together fragments of his identity, he becomes the target of a shadowy intelligence program determined to erase him, forcing him into a relentless game of survival across Europe. Greg, Aaron & John break down the film's most iconic moments: Bourne's awakening and bank vault discovery, the apartment ambush that reveals his combat instincts, the nerve-shredding embassy escape, the Paris car chase that redefined handheld action, and the gradual unraveling of Treadstone, the covert operation responsible for turning Bourne into a weapon. They also discuss standout performances from Franka Potente (Run Lola Run) as Marie, Bourne's emotional anchor, and Chris Cooper (American Beauty) as the relentless CIA handler Alexander Conklin.

Marty and Clif give Robert the movie Enter The Dragon to watch.Join us for a high-kick double feature that pairs martial arts legends with razor-sharp parody: Enter the Dragon (1973) and I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1988).The episode breaks down why Enter the Dragon remains the gold standard of martial arts cinema, from Bruce Lee's unmatched screen presence, fight choreography, and the movie's lasting impact on action cinema.Then the crew pivots into full satire mode with Keenan Ivory Wayans' I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, a fearless, R-rated send-up of 1970s blaxploitation. With a stacked cast including Isaac Hayes, Jim Brown, Chris Rock, John Witherspoon and more, the film is unpacked as both a loving homage and a brutally funny critique of the genre's excesses.#TalkingPondo,#FilmPodcast,#MoviePodcast,#FilmDiscussion,#CultMovies,#EnterTheDragon,#BruceLee,#ImGonnaGitYouSucka,#KeenenIvoryWayans,#Blaxploitation,#MartialArtsMovies,#KungFuCinema,#ActionMovies,#ComedyFilmsSupport the showFind our films here: The Love Song of William H Shaw Revenge of Zoe Writing Fren-ZeeMaking Pondo on FacebookX (formerly Twitter):@MakingPondoInstagramMaking Pondo on Letterboxd:Season One Season Two Season Three Season Four Theme Song "The Rain" by Russ PacePhotos by Geoffrey Notkin

Happy New Year! We're bringing back one of our favorite episodes from the recent past, this conversation with June Squibb, which originally aired in June of 2024. Since then, in 2025, June had the title role in Eleanor the Great, Scarlett Johansson's directorial debut, which premiered at Cannes.June Squibb was born an actor, and had a rich career on stage for years before becoming an on-screen performer in her sixties. It's not your typical trajectory, sure, but then neither is being 94 and carrying your first feature film – which, by the way, is an action comedy. With her new movie THELMA new in theaters this weekend, the singular June Squibb joins us to talk about how the role of Kate in Andrew Payne's NEBRASKA – for which she won an Oscar – reflected her life and shaped her career.Then, Jordan has one quick thing about the 2020s updates to her Vulture ‘Best Queer Horror Movies' List.***With Jordan Crucchiola and June Squibb Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.Need more Feeling Seen?

In this Christmas episode, we break down DIE HARD — the action movie that quietly became the blueprint for the entire genre & the greatest christmas movie ever made. We analyze why John McClane works so well as an everyman hero, how the confined setting of Nakatomi Plaza creates relentless tension, and why the movie's pacing is nearly flawless. We also dive into Alan Rickman's iconic performance as Hans Gruber, the sharp writing, and how Die Hard balances action, humor, and character better than almost any film before or since. Whether you watch it as a Christmas movie or the ultimate action classic, Die Hard remains one of the most perfectly constructed movies ever made — and we break down exactly why.   Chapters: 00:00 It's a Christmas movie 6:57 What makes John McClane a great character? 13:43 Everyone who was supposed to be John McClane 22:20 Alan Rickman almost refused to do this movie 25:47 What makes Hans a great villain 33:26 The movie is actually hilarious 39:51 How to perfectly do action 44:46 Cool facts about the filming location 48:59 Perfect exposition 55:24 Bruce Willis fake feet 56:35 A delightful detail you may have missed 58:14 Gray's theory on Al being a liar 59:59 Fun facts 1:08:28 Our official rating & final thoughts 1:14:04 Cue the music

Send us a textRemember Die Hard, the perfect Christmas Action Movie? Well, it had a brother called Die Harder, and it too was a Christmas Action Movie. It doesn't get as much attention because it was a sequel. But it had a bigger budget, bigger explosions, a bigger body count, and it made a lot more money. We talk about Die Hard all the time, but this year we're going back to 1990 and watch the Christmas sequel. This time, John McLean gets stuck at an airport waiting for his wife to land, and it gets taken over by mercenaries who start doing all sorts of terrorist-y things. We remember loving this movie, and we can't wait to add it to our List of Holiday Action Movies to watch. Unless it sucks.     Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
