This week on Bad Dads Film Review, Sidey, Dan and Reegs finish “Reach Around Week” with Jack Reacher, the 2012 Christopher McQuarrie action thriller starring Tom Cruise as Lee Child's wandering ex-military investigator. After watching Alan Ritchson's Prime Video version in the Midweeker, the dads now turn to the film that gave many book fans their first major complaint before the opening credits had even rolled: Tom Cruise is many things, but he is not 6'5".The episode begins with the real main event, which is obviously walking football. The dads' team has beaten Madeira 3–0, Dan has scored, Sidey is still protecting his clean-sheet record, and the squad has somehow been told off at half-time despite being ahead. Christian is missing after a suspected bout of sunstroke, while recent viewing includes Reegs watching The Patient, Dan falling into YouTube pinball and arcade content, Sidey continuing through Barry, and a new version of The Grand Tour that appears to have enough Amazon money behind it to launch a car into another tax bracket.Before the film, the Top 5 theme is short people, or at least people who are not especially tall. That means Dustin Hoffman, Katharine Hepburn, the Oompa-Loompas, Mickey Rooney, Martin Short, Al Pacino, Daniel Radcliffe, Prince, Danny DeVito, Verne Troyer, Hervé Villechaize, Warwick Davis, Charlie Chaplin, Napoleon, Michael J. Fox and Michael J. Anderson all come up in a list that moves freely between Oscar history, Jersey trivia, Austin Powers, Twin Peaks, Bill & Ted, The Simpsons, Purple Rain and the frankly irresistible existence of a 2 foot 9 Filipino action star called Weng Weng in For Your Height Only.Then it is time for Jack Reacher, which opens with a cold and nasty sniper sequence. A man sets up in a parking garage, watches ordinary people through a rifle scope and kills five of them in public. The sequence is not especially gory, but the dads find it grim and effective, especially because the victims seem so arbitrary. The police quickly gather evidence pointing to James Barr, an ex-army sniper with previous, and the case appears open and shut until Barr writes one message during interrogation: “Get Jack Reacher.”Reacher arrives already wrapped in myth. The authorities describe him as a decorated military-police ghost with a ridiculous list of medals, only for him to appear at the door before anyone can find him. He knows Barr from the army and once warned him that if he ever killed again, Reacher would come for him. That means he is not initially there to prove Barr innocent; he is there to make sure the right punishment lands on the right man.Rosamund Pike plays Helen Rodin, Barr's defence lawyer and the daughter of the undefeated district attorney. Reacher agrees to investigate while sending Helen to learn about the victims, because he has already started to suspect that five random deaths may not be random at all. From there, the film becomes a conspiracy thriller about a staged mass shooting, a framed sniper, a murdered woman who may have been the real target, and a corrupt network hiding behind official certainty.The dads enjoy several of the action beats. Reacher's bar fight works because he predicts exactly what will happen before it happens, tells the men they wanted it, and then has to take a few shots while still finishing the job. The car chase is a highlight, partly because the film goes out of its way to show that Cruise is really doing the driving, with clean practical shots rather than incoherent cutting. Robert Duvall also turns up as Cash, a grizzled shooting-range owner who only agrees to help after making Reacher prove he can still hit the target, because apparently crucial murder evidence must sometimes be unlocked through old-man range banter.Werner Herzog is the secret weapon as the Zec, a shadowy villain with a damaged eye, a Gulag backstory and the sort of voice that makes every line sound like a cursed bedtime story. The dads particularly enjoy the scene where he demands a subordinate prove his worth by chewing off his own fingers, because the Zec once did exactly that to survive. Herzog is so strange and sinister that the only real complaint is that the film does not use him more.The final stretch takes the story to a quarry, because action thrillers love a quarry almost as much as they love corrupt cops. Cash provides sniper support, Reacher works his way through the henchmen, fights Jai Courtney's Charlie, exposes Detective Emerson as part of the plot, rescues Helen, and then deals with the Zec in the most Reacher way possible. The villain explains that prison will not scare him and that the case may not stick, so Reacher shoots him. When Helen asks what happened to justice, he says he just delivered it.Verdicts are positive but qualified. Dan thinks the film was more fun to discuss than to watch and prefers Alan Ritchson as the physical idea of Reacher, though he still credits Cruise's stunt work and the film's better action moments. Reegs also prefers the series but sees this as a solid, well-made, pulpy thriller with patient pacing and clear set pieces. Sidey likes the procedural shape, the conspiracy reveal, the car chase, Robert Duvall and Werner Herzog, but finds the film grey and a little sterile, and thinks Reacher's low-charisma wandering-avenger persona can be hard to fully love.So the Bad Dads verdict is a moderate-to-strong recommend: Jack Reacher is not the definitive version of the character, and Tom Cruise is never going to be the 6'5" human wall from the books, but as a tough, slightly overlong, well-staged action conspiracy thriller, it does enough. Also, any film where Werner Herzog quietly explains finger-eating survival tactics deserves at least some respect.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Kevin Feige is promising major “pinch-me” moments for Avengers: Secret Wars, and all signs increasingly point to Doctor Doom sitting at the center of Marvel's next big reset. Jim Hill and Dan Graney break down the newest Avengers: Doomsday rumors, the Russo Brothers' unusual script process, Wanda speculation, and the possible future of Vision Quest.

HIGHLIGHTS • Kevin Feige calls Doctor Doom the centerpiece of Secret Wars and teases crossover moments Marvel fans have never seen on screen. • The Russo Brothers reveal Avengers: Doomsday began production without a finished script, describing the screenplay as a “living organism.” • New rumors point toward Wanda Maximoff's possible return and suggest Doom may be targeting characters whose lives were changed by time travel and the multiverse. • Noah Jupe joins Secret Wars in a mystery role, sparking theories ranging from Franklin Richards and Doom's son to Molecule Man and the Beyonder. • Vision Quest is now positioned around the same point in the MCU timeline as Spider-Man: Brand New Day and may be laying groundwork for Avengers: The Children's Crusade. • Marvel casting chatter includes Asa Germann as Angel, reported Al Pacino talks, Emma Myers rumors, and Destin Daniel Cretton returning for another Spider-Man movie. • Disney's World Builders offers a closer look at Avengers Infinity Defense and Stark Flight Lab, including the ride systems and Marvel technology behind the attractions. • Jack Kirby's legacy gets new attention through an Avengers Campus tribute, a New York street dedication, and upcoming books exploring his career. • Star Wars begins moving beyond the sequel trilogy with its New Jedi Order era while the original 1977 film prepares for a 50th-anniversary IMAX release. • Marvel's classic Indiana Jones comics return in deluxe collections alongside a brand-new series set after Raiders of the Lost Ark.

A comedy of frustration and a look at how the media takes and then takes back one's fifteen minutes of fame, Dog Day Afternoon (1975) is on of Sidney Lumet's best films with one of Al Pacino's best performances. Sonny wants to be Lee Marvin but acts more like Don Knotts; he wants to be a folk hero, but becomes more like a meme; he has a romance with the media and finds that his mistress is fickle. Sonny is the kind of person who accidentally appears in a viral video, comes to enjoy the renown, but then learns that his hour upon the stage is signifying nothing.

Aug-Heist comes to a close with this 1995 Michael Mann film starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, sharing screen time for the first time in their careers. Mann already made this movie once, in 1989 as a made-for-TV movie called L.A. Takedown. In this iteration, De Niro plays the leader of a sophisticated band of thieves while Pacino plays the hardboiled detective obsessed with taking them down. The film features an all-star ensemble including Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore, Ashley Judd, Amy Brenneman, Diane Venora, Wes Studi, Dennis Haysbert, Jon Voight, and a young Natalie Portman. Critics praised the film, yet it opened behind family-friendly fare like Jumanji and Toy Story. Retrospective reviews have named it one of the most influential crime films of all time, inspiring works as diverse as The Dark Knight and Grand Theft Auto, there is a sequel/prequel, Heat 2, is due out next year. Now Aug-Heist calls in our last score for this year with Heat! For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Message Dan and MikeGlengarry Glen Ross turns 34 this year, and we're finally giving David Mamet's Pulitzer Prize-winning play its due on the show. James Foley's 1992 film adaptation brings together an absolutely stacked cast — Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alec Baldwin, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey, and Alan Arkin — for the story of four desperate real estate salesmen pitted against each other in a brutal sales contest. We dig into how this film actually came together, including the fascinating parallel between Pacino championing this project the same way Sean Penn championed Foley's At Close Range, and how Pacino personally scouted Kevin Spacey on Broadway for the role of Williamson. We also talk through the casting history of Shelley "The Machine" Levene, a role that nearly went in a very different direction before Jack Lemmon delivered one of the great performances of his career.We get into why the film's most famous scene — the one everyone quotes — wasn't even in Mamet's original play, and why we think the "sales" angle is honestly the least interesting theme once you dig into what this movie is really about. We also trace the play's legacy through its Broadway revivals, from Joe Mantegna's original Tony-winning run as Ricky Roma, through the 2015 revival that brought Pacino back to the stage alongside Bobby Cannavale, all the way to 2025's star-studded cast.Before we get into the film, we open with a story about a very ill-fated car-buying negotiation involving a local salesman, and we close things out with a confession about how we got worked over by a couple of very skilled salesmen on the streets of San Diego during Comic-Con. Fair warning: this one earns its language warning, but we'd argue it's essential viewing regardless. If you take one recommendation from us all year, make it this one.Support the showOh Brother Podcast:Support the Show!

Today, we're sitting down with powerhouse actor Logan Marshall-Green, who has spent decades carving out an extraordinary career from the stage to the screen. His story begins with famously turning down a role in Terminator 3 in order to finish his MFA. In this episode, Logan takes us through his raw and honest journey, from battling intense imposter syndrome on the set of Ridley Scott's Prometheus to eventually finding his camera "sea legs" and learning to trust himself on screen. We dive into what it was like to get into an unscripted, physical scrap with Richard Gere in Brooklyn's Finest, direct the legendary Ethan Hawke in Adopt a Highway, share the screen with Al Pacino in Killing Castro, and step onto the epic scale of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. Plus, Logan shares his invaluable "walkaway" audition philosophy: a mindset that teaches artists how to let go, trust the work they've done, and keep moving forward. These are the unforgettable stories that landed Logan Marshall-Green right here. Credits: The Odyssey Marshals Killing Castro Spider-Man: Homecoming And Just Like That...

In Episode 291 of The Chazz Palminteri Show, I sit down with legendary actor Dominic Chianese, best known for his unforgettable role as Uncle Junior on The Sopranos. Dominic shares stories from his career, including working with James Gandolfini, Francis Ford Coppola, Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, Anthony Quinn, and other legendary performers. We discuss The Sopranos, The Godfather Part II, acting technique, and the importance of being authentic on camera. Dominic also reflects on growing up in the Bronx, his Italian-American roots, his lifelong passion for singing, his grandfather's musical influence, and his experiences working alongside some of Hollywood's greatest actors. It's a warm, funny, and fascinating conversation between two Bronx actors about acting, music, family, friendship, and a lifetime in show business.

Still simmering for vinyl record collecting talk after SURFACE NOISE? Good...these BONUS TRAX aim to satisfy!
El 22 de agosto de 1972, John Wojtowicz, acompañado por Salvatore Naturile y Robert Westenberg, intentó robar una sucursal del banco Chase Manhattan en Gravesend, Brooklyn. Wojtowicz y Naturile mantuvieron como rehenes a siete empleados del banco durante 14 horas, un episodio que luego inspiró la película Tarde de perros (1975), con Al Pacino.
This week on Surface Noise — the show of record, talking records - we dig into where vinyl has been, where it's headed, and whether artificial intelligence could become the next unlikely chapter in record collecting. We kick things off with Current Events from the Vinyl Community, including the reported end of Columbia House — RIP to the legendary mail-order music club…or maybe not? We look at what's actually happening with the iconic name and why Columbia House still carries so much nostalgia for generations of music fans. Plus, Vinylphyle announces new audiophile vinyl releases from The Allman Brothers Band, Frank Sinatra, and GZA, and VinylCon heads to Los Angeles this weekend. Then we tackle a topic that could become increasingly important for collectors: AI TO VINYL. With platforms like Suno making it possible for almost anyone to generate original music using artificial intelligence, what happens when that music makes the jump from a digital file to a physical vinyl record? Inspired by Louie V of Vinyl Latte's recent opinion piece, we discuss what AI-generated music could mean for musicians, collectors, record labels, pressing plants, and the very idea of what makes a record worth owning. Does putting AI music on vinyl somehow legitimize it? Does it matter who — or what — actually created the music? Could AI-generated records eventually become collectible? And in a hobby built around authenticity, history, artists, and the human connection to music, does AI change what a vinyl record means? It's another collector-driven conversation about vinyl records, record collecting, audiophilia and MORE!

Chris Sarandon on The Princess Bride, Fright Night & Surviving Hollywood Oscar-nominated actor Chris Sarandon joins Keith Reza for a hilarious, wide-ranging conversation about his legendary Hollywood career including the wild story of how a bad New York Knicks draft pick accidentally landed him the role of Prince Humperdinck in The Princess Bride. From Dog Day Afternoon with Al Pacino to Fright Night, Child's Play, and the voice of Jack Skellington, Chris opens up about auditioning, rejection, "mortgage movies," the Comic-Con explosion, and his lifelong love of cooking.

Surface Noise had a lot of flavor this week, but these Bonus Trax are sure to put the last spicy touch on the vinyl meatball of this messy, messy episode on Vinyl Community Podcasts!
Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to.Joining Tim this time is writer Martin Fitzgerald, who's determined to prove that the FBI have redacted their files on his eyewitness accounts of Dallas, The Rock'n'Roll Years, Shoot Magazine's 'Focus On' profiles and Jackpot comic. Along the way we'll be travelling to Knots Landing-616 to meet a monochrome Sue Ellen, questioning whether a larger crowd would turn up to meet Andy Gray or London Zoo's new pantropical spotted dolphin 'Harold', estimating how many titles on the Video Nasties list Ian Wright might have hidden behind the sofa from and trying our best not to win a bathtubful of lemonade.You can find more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/.If you enjoy Looks Unfamiliar, you can help to support the show by buying us a coffee here.

"Just say, 'Dance, monkey, dance!'" My honorary kid brother from Oz, One Heat Minute Productions' podcaster Blake Howard, returns to the show this week to chat about two of our favorite filmmakers & actors in director Sidney Lumet's SERPICO with Al Pacino, and John Frankenheimer's FRENCH CONNECTION II, starring Gene Hackman.Join us for a tightrope walk down the thin blue line, that's one of a darker shade, with these films that show us the corruption, moral flexibility, power jockeying, and ethical gray area in late '60s, early '70s policing. So dress like a PINK PANTHER villain with a gold fish ring, put on your favorite hibiscus shirt, and travel to New York City and Marseilles for a look at these films that are often underdiscussed today.Note: This episode is dedicated to my very own childhood "Paco," a Marine turned police officer whose story I shared, who had his own SERPICO experience over 35 years ago, with a very different ending.

Before martial arts changed his life, Jerry Trimble was a shy, anxious teenager who struggled with bullying, fear, and self-doubt. What began as a search for confidence at the age of 13 became the foundation for one of the most remarkable careers in martial arts history. Nicknamed the “Golden Boy,” Jerry quickly rose through the ranks, earning his first-degree black belt at just 15 years old and becoming the top-ranked point fighter in the Midwest. His speed, athleticism, and dynamic kicking ability propelled him into professional kickboxing, where he captured multiple regional and national championships before reaching the pinnacle of the sport in 1986 as both the PKA and PKC Kickboxing World Champion. His legendary hook kick was once clocked at an incredible 118 miles per hour, cementing his reputation as one of the most exciting fighters of his generation. Following his competitive career, Jerry successfully transitioned to Hollywood, building an acting résumé that spans more than 65 films and television appearances. From sharing the screen with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro in Heat to roles in Charlie’s Angels, The Flash, Supernatural, iZombie, Tracker, and many other productions, he has demonstrated the same drive and determination that made him a world champion. Today, Jerry travels throughout the United States and Canada as a motivational speaker, encouraging young people to overcome fear, embrace challenges, and believe in their own potential. His story is a powerful reminder that confidence isn’t something we’re born with, it’s something we build through perseverance, discipline, and the courage to take that first step.

Chosen by Dave, and adapted by David Mamet from his Pulitzer Prize-winning stage play, Glengarry Glen Ross was directed by James Foley and assembled one of the most formidable acting line-ups of the 1990s: Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Ed Harris, Alan Arkin, Kevin Spacey, Jonathan Pryce and Alec Baldwin. Made for an estimated $12.5 million, the film turns offices, restaurants and rain-soaked streets into a pressure cooker of desperation, ego and spectacularly aggressive salesmanship. Mamet reportedly received $1 million to adapt his own play, expanding the material specifically for the screen.Despite strong reviews, the film earned approximately $10.7 million at the North American box office and was not an immediate commercial success. Its reputation continued to grow through VHS, television and home-video releases, with Jack Lemmon winning the Volpi Cup for Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival and Al Pacino receiving Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations. It is now regarded as a cult classic, particularly among actors, salespeople and anyone who has ever endured a motivational meeting conducted by someone who clearly despises them.Trailer Guy SynopsisIn a struggling Chicago real-estate office, four salesmen are fighting for their livelihoods.First prize is a Cadillac. Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize… is unemployment.With the best leads locked away and the clock running down, every conversation becomes a contest, every customer becomes prey, and every colleague becomes a possible enemy. This week, closing the deal is not merely business.It is survival.Fun FactsDavid Mamet based the original play partly on his own experiences working in Chicago real-estate offices during the late 1960s.Alec Baldwin's character, Blake, does not appear in the original stage play. Mamet created him exclusively for the film adaptation.Baldwin appears in only one scene, yet his performance produced many of the film's most quoted lines and became a lasting part of sales culture.The famous “Always Be Closing” speech has been referenced and parodied in television shows, comedy sketches, advertising and corporate training sessions—sometimes by people who may have missed the fact that the scene is not exactly presenting healthy management advice.The movie's title refers to two fictional property developments: Glengarry Highlands and Glen Ross Farms.Al Pacino was the only member of the principal cast to receive an Oscar nomination, earning a Best Supporting Actor nomination for his performance as Ricky Roma.Jack Lemmon reportedly considered Shelley Levene one of his favourite roles, describing the character as someone who had once been successful but could no longer understand why his methods had stopped working.Jonathan Pryce's character, James Lingk, is the only significant male customer seen in the film, making his uncomfortable conversation with Roma one of the story's few glimpses outside the sales team's competitive world.Much of the cast had extensive theatrical experience, helping the dialogue-heavy production retain the rhythm, precision and intensity of a live stage performance.Support the ShowIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon here.If you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

In this BONUS TRAX episode of Surface Noise, the conversation gets personal as the panel shares the biggest Mistakes Made and Lessons Learned throughout their vinyl collecting journey. Every collector has a story—and sometimes the most expensive education comes from experience. From buying the wrong pressings, overpaying for records, and selling albums we wish we'd kept, to trusting the wrong sellers, misjudging record grades, making impulse purchases, and letting once-in-a-lifetime opportunities slip away, we reflect on the successes, regrets, and hard-earned wisdom that shaped us into smarter collectors. Bringing it home, Concert Buddie shares some pickups from a quick run to the Windy City by way of Indy, and a couple of bonafide grails that he secured in his bag.

This week on The FratChat Podcast, we're diving into The BIGGEST Casting What Ifs! From Will Smith almost becoming Neo in The Matrix to Al Pacino nearly playing Han Solo, we count down the wildest alternate casting decisions that could have completely changed movie history. We debate whether Hollywood made the right call, imagine how these iconic films would've looked with different stars, and uncover the behind-the-scenes stories of actors who turned down—or lost—the roles that made someone else a legend. Plus, it's another packed episode with Emails from the Listeners, where we settle a relationship debate after one listener catches her fiancé doing something so disgusting it might derail the wedding. We also tackle whether using AI like ChatGPT makes you "part of the problem," break down a bizarre scam involving rapper Boosie Badazz and a promised presidential pardon, and return with another edition of Not the Drag Queens, exposing yet another youth pastor facing serious criminal charges. Along the way, we riff on Back to the Future, The Lord of the Rings, Hannibal Lecter, MTA horror stories, Taco Bell's parasite outbreak, celebrity casting near-misses, and plenty of the unfiltered comedy that makes FratChat what it is.

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie directors! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today we discuss perhaps the most popular filmmaker alive today: Christopher Nolan! Our B-Sides are Insomnia, The Prestige, and Tenet. Our guest is the legendary Blake Howard of One Heat Minute Productions. We chat about late-period Al Pacino, the unexpected success of Batman Begins, and those other magician movies that came out around The Prestige in 2006. There's appreciation for the unique Nolan commentary for Insomnia and that Entertainment Weekly cover for Batman Begins, and the great character actor Martin Donovan.

Zo gets a call from a man who's voice was familiar. The man had the demeanor of an old friend who was excited to talk to him. He wanted to catch up, sit down and talk about old times. They agree to meet at the bar and, while the man seemed friendly enough, Zo realized that the stranger isn't actually someone he knew or anyone he remembered meeting. Not wanting to be rude Zo carries on with the meeting with this friendly stranger, who's name was Ricky Roma, over drinks about morality, the future, and if there was something that anyone wanted then they should just take it. They should throw caution to the wind. They should give in to their base impulses because you only live once. You can't miss out on the good things in life because of morality or an abundance of caution because that's an easy way to miss out and get left behind. There is no morality. Ricky Roma then pulls out a brochure extolling the bountiful virtues of the Glengarry Highlands in Florida . . . it is a very tempting offer.

Dennis is join via Zoom by documentary filmmaker Jeffrey Schwarz to discuss his newest film Mineshaft: The Cruising Murders, which is about the making of the controversial William Friedkin film Cruising, the real life murders it was inspired by and the gay activist movement it inspired. Jeffrey talks about the first time he saw the film, why he was inspired to make the doc, star Al Pacino's feelings about the film, the surprising discoveries he made along the way that changed the direction of the film and how the film, shot in 1979, is also a visual documentation of a time of sexual freedom that was soon to be decimated by AIDS. He also talks about his exploration into the murder of Addison Verrill, a Variety reporter in NYC, who was killed by a man he picked up in a bar named Paul Bateson. Other topics include: which of his docs has been the most widely seen, how he gets reluctant subjects to agree to be interviewed, the current landscape for docs in general, his mission to preserve queer stories while the people involved in them are still alive, and the building anticipation for his next film Goddess: The Fall and Rise of Showgirls. www.automatpictures.com
RECALL: Act Three By the time RECALL reaches Act Three, Miami Military Academy is no longer pretending it can survive. The school is still marching, still saluting, still shining brass and barking orders into the Florida heat, but the center is gone. Colonel Barnes is dying. Commander Patterson knows it. Sally knows it. And the boys, even when they are laughing too hard to say it out loud, can feel the whole place slipping into history. Written by Academy Award nominee Bruce Davison, and once optioned and held by the great Carroll O’Connor with eyes on a Pacino lead,, RECALL is a funny, savage, deeply human coming-of-age drama about abandoned boys, broken fathers, old soldiers, Cuban exiles, secret weapons, and the terrible bargain countries make when they ask the young to carry the sins of the old. Act Three begins with the last quiet hours before everything breaks. Lishinsky and Sally steal a small piece of freedom on the water, drifting toward Captain Kidd’s Island, talking about California, escape, fathers, graves, and the strange fantasy that two damaged kids might simply sail away from all of it. But nobody really gets away from Miami Military Academy. Not yet. Inside Barnes’ house, Patterson sits beside a dying friend and is handed the thing no soldier wants: responsibility without rescue. Barnes tells him the Army is calling in its chips. The school, the land, the boys, the munitions, the whole dream is coming apart. Patterson rages because he knows what the place is, and what it has been. A broken institution, yes. A madhouse, absolutely. But also the only home some of these boys have ever had. Then the machinery starts moving. The Army arrives. The Cuban officials arrive. The inspection becomes theater. A live round falls where it should not. The old bunkers by the bay are suddenly more important than the boys standing in formation. The parade takes them through Miami and into the Dade County Fair, where the whole strange, glorious organism of “A” Company explodes into one last carnival of cigars, sheep, majorettes, busted noses, bad decisions, and Patterson turning, for one mad instant, into the hero the boys still need him to be. But the comedy cannot hold the line forever. Colonel Barnes is gone. The flag drops to half-mast. The Razor Fiend is finally revealed. Lindquist, the feral boy from the mango trees, becomes a cadet, a savior, and maybe the strangest proof that the academy was never only a school. It was a place that took in the lost and gave them a uniform because it had no better language for love. Slouch and Bebop reach the end of pretending. Bebop is called home by a country that no longer exists the way he remembers it. Slouch follows because friendship, for him, is the only oath that ever meant anything. The Cuban exiles come in the night. Patterson tries to stop them. History steps over him. Sally leaves for California. Lishinsky stays behind with the ache of first love and the knowledge that some people are not meant to be held. Patterson sits with his ghosts. The boys graduate into a world already waiting to use them. And somewhere beyond the academy walls, the Bay of Pigs turns courage, loyalty, and bad American promises into blood in the surf. RECALL is about boyhood at the edge of the American century, when duty still sounded clean from a podium and war still knew how to dress itself up as honor. It is about boys who wanted fathers, fathers who failed them, soldiers who could not save themselves, and a country that keeps asking the young to pay for the old men’s maps. Starring Alan Rosenberg, Carson Bolde, Stone Garcia, Wesley Kimmel, Dan Lauria, Kensington Tallman, Roxton Garcia, Bruce Davison, Luca Diaz, Amari O’Neil, Amir O’Neil, David Errigo Jr., Zeke Alton, Gian Franco Rodriguez, Miki Yamashita, Nemil Mudvari, Sofia D’Marco, and Ashley Ciarra.

After becoming a critical and arthouse sensation with Memento, Christopher Nolan leaped to studio filmmaking with American remake Insomnia. The film (based on the 1997 Norwegian film) stars Al Pacino as a corrupt cop sent to Alaska to solve a murder, only to be caught in the web of the killer (Robin Williams). Though a successful summer … Continue reading "395 – Insomnia"
Matt and Jordan check out Julian Schnabel’s In The Hand of Dante, a rare midsummer Netflix prestige picture with a stacked cast that includes Oscar Isaac, Al Pacino, Gerard Butler, John Malkovich, Jason Momoa, and Martin Scorsese as a bearded medieval sage. Despite the talent and the reliably gorgeous cinematography, Schnabel’s film might be the worst thing Matt and Jordan have had to endure through the show’s first twelve episodes.

RECALL: Act Two In February 1961, the boys of Miami Military Academy are still marching, joking, fighting, shaving, bleeding, stealing, and pretending the world outside the gates is someone else’s problem. But the world is already inside the school. It is in the news from Cuba. It is in the old munitions bunkers by the bay. It is in the secrets the adults keep, the wounds they drink through, and the wars they keep handing down to children. Written by Academy Award nominee Bruce Davison, and once optioned and held by the great Al Pacino, RECALL is a funny, savage, deeply human coming-of-age drama about abandoned boys, broken fathers, old soldiers, Cuban exiles, secret weapons, and the machinery that turns fear into patriotism. Act Two begins as Stephen Lishinsky tries to survive the strange education of “A” Company. His head has been butchered. His pride has been beaten. His idea of honor has already taken a few direct hits. When he tries to run, Commander Patterson finds him at the bus stop and gives him the kind of broken advice only a broken soldier can give: if you are in a storm, sometimes the only move is to sit tight and let the morning come. But morning at Miami Military Academy is never clean. Coombs is missing. The Razor Fiend is back. Bear is bleeding into the sink. Lindquist, the feral boy from the mango trees, is pulled into uniform and passed off as a cadet because, at this school, identity is just another piece of equipment someone misplaced. Sally Barnes drifts through the place like a lit match, furious at her father, suspicious of Patterson, and impossible for Lishinsky to ignore. Patterson tries to protect her, but the past between him, Colonel Barnes, and Sally’s mother is its own battlefield. Meanwhile, Slouch and Bebop stop pretending their war is imaginary. The key to Bunker 3 becomes guns, ammunition, and contraband dragged through the machinery of a school that is already falling apart. Patterson lectures boys on amphibious landings while the real invasion waits in the shadows. Bebop is pulled closer to the Cuban exile cause. Slouch, half romantic and half criminal, follows him into the Everglades, into blindfolds, pistols, secret rooms, and men who do not look like teachers. There is comedy everywhere because boys make comedy out of terror. There is coconut rum, marching songs, bad haircuts, chocolate cokes, contraband, dirty jokes, and the Dade County Fair waiting like a reward for good behavior nobody intends to have. But underneath the noise, the rifles are getting heavier. The lies are getting harder to carry. And the adults are running out of time. RECALL is about boyhood at the exact moment history stops being a lesson and starts becoming a weapon. It is about fathers who failed, sons who improvise, countries that ask for sacrifice before they explain the cost, and boys who are still laughing because they do not yet understand what the world is loading. Starring Alan Rosenberg, Carson Bolde, Stone Garcia, Wesley Kimmel, Dan Lauria, Kensington Tallman, Roxton Garcia, Bruce Davison, Luca Diaz, Amari O’Neil, Amir O’Neil, David Errigo Jr., Zeke Alton, Gian Franco Rodriguez, Miki Yamashita, Nemil Mudvari, Sofia D’Marco, and Ashley Ciarra.

RECALL: Act One In February 1961, while America watches Cuba on television and tells itself the next war will belong to someone else, a dying military academy in Miami is still teaching boys how to stand straight, take orders, and become men. Written by Academy Award nominee Bruce Davison, and once optioned and held by the great Al Pacino, RECALL is a funny, savage, deeply human coming-of-age drama about abandoned boys, broken fathers, old soldiers, Cuban exiles, secret weapons, and the first terrible lesson of history: nations do not only go to war with armies. Sometimes they go to war with children who still think they are playing. Act One begins with Stephen Lishinsky arriving at Miami Military Academy, a bright Pennsylvania kid who volunteered for the brochure version of honor and discipline. What he finds is a parade field, a dying commandant, a school already being swallowed by the future, and two cadets handcuffed to a howitzer before morning formation. Inside “A” Company, Lishinsky meets the boys who will become his education. Slouch is a Brooklyn-bred survivor with a cigarette in his mouth, a wound behind every joke, and a talent for turning trouble into currency. Bebop is a Cuban refugee carrying the murder of his father and the dream of taking his country back. Wheeler is an eleven-year-old officer with a sword too large for his body and a hunger for command. Sally Barnes is the commandant’s daughter, back from wherever she ran, driving straight through the gates with all the fury of someone returning to a home that has already become a ghost. And then there is Commander Patterson, a decorated Navy veteran, drunk, wounded, funny, dangerous, and still trying, in his broken way, to protect boys the world has already thrown away. The academy is collapsing. The boys know it. The adults know more than they are saying. Castro is on the news. Cuban exiles are moving in the shadows. The old munitions bunkers are not empty. And when Slouch pockets a key marked Bunker 3, military school stops being a game and starts becoming the first draft of a war story. RECALL is about loyalty, damage, sacrifice, performance, class, country, boyhood, and the machinery that turns fear into patriotism. It is about the lie adults tell boys when they call obedience honor, and the moment those boys discover the rifles are real. Starring Alan Rosenberg, Carson Bolde, Stone Garcia, Wesley Kimmel, Dan Lauria, Kensington Tallman, Roxton Garcia, Bruce Davison, Luca Diaz, Amari O’Neil, Amir O’Neil, David Errigo Jr., Zeke Alton, Gian Franco Rodriguez, Miki Yamashita, Nemil Mudvari, Sofia D’Marco, and Ashley Ciarra.
