Welcome to the party, pal! Grab some champagne and a machine gun because it's time to… DIE HARD (1988) starring Bruce Willis, Bonnie Bedelia, and Alan Rickman. John McTiernan's Christmas classic about a cop versus a building full of armed thieves created its own subgenre of “Die Hard in a Blank” movies.  THE TAKING OF BEVERLY HILLS (1991) has a star football quarterback take on a gang of ex-cops who plan to rob the entire city of Beverly Hills. Will things be gratuitously thrown like a football during fire fights? You know they will! Starring Ken Wahl, Robert Davi, and Matt Frewer. Directed by Sidney J. Furie.

The central theme of this podcast episode revolves around the cinematic exploration of the film "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves," a motion picture released in 1991 that has garnered a significant amount of both admiration and criticism over the years. We delve into the juxtaposition of the film's intended dramatic narrative against the unintentional comedic elements that have emerged, particularly through the performance of Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham, whose portrayal has become a focal point of enjoyment amidst the film's shortcomings. The discourse further examines the peculiarities of Kevin Costner's performance, his lack of an English accent, and how these aspects contribute to the overall reception of the film. Additionally, we contemplate the film's historical context, character dynamics, and the nostalgic value it holds for audiences, despite its apparent flaws. Ultimately, we arrive at a consensus that, while the film may not align with conventional standards of cinematic excellence, it remains a source of entertainment and laughter, particularly when viewed through the lens of its unintended humor.Support us:https://www.patreon.com/whatsourverdictEmail us: hosts@whatsourverdict.comFollow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatsourverdictTwitter: @whatsourverdictInstagram: @whatsourverdictYouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UC-K_E-ofs3b85BnoU4R6liAVisit us:www.whatsourverdict.com

Prepare-se para uma análise aprofundada de "Razão e Sensibilidade", o primeiro romance publicado de Jane Austen. Nesta viagem pela Inglaterra do século XIX, exploramos a vida das irmãs Dashwood, que, após a morte do pai, enfrentam a incerteza financeira e as complexas regras sociais da época, sendo forçadas a deixar seu lar para viver em um modesto chalé.O episódio desvenda as dualidades que tornam esta obra tão rica e atemporal. De um lado, temos Elinor Dashwood, a personificação da razão, com sua prudência, controle emocional e sensatez. Do outro, sua irmã Marianne, a encarnação da sensibilidade, impulsiva, romântica e que vive suas paixões sem reservas. Através das suas jornadas amorosas e desilusões, discutimos como Austen explora os perigos e as virtudes de cada uma dessas abordagens perante a vida e o amor.Analisamos também os personagens masculinos que orbitam as irmãs e representam diferentes facetas da sociedade e do afeto: o tímido e honrado Edward Ferrars, o charmoso e inconstante John Willoughby, e o reservado e leal Coronel Brandon.E para os amantes da sétima arte, dedicamos um olhar especial à aclamada adaptação cinematográfica de 1995. Dirigido por Ang Lee, o filme conta com um elenco estelar, incluindo Emma Thompson (que também assina o roteiro vencedor do Oscar), Kate Winslet, Hugh Grant e Alan Rickman. Comentamos como a adaptação captura com maestria a essência do livro, traduzindo para as telas a crítica social, a ironia sutil de Austen e a complexa dança entre a razão e a emoção.Dê o play e venha debater conosco: em um mundo de aparências e convenções, qual o caminho para a felicidade? A ponderação da razão ou a intensidade da sensibilidade?Edição: Lívia LeãoEmail: lihnumlivro@hotmail.comInstagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@liviamulder⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@lihnumlivro

Mark and Niall discuss the 1991 action epic Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Directed by Kevin Reynolds, and starring Alan Rickman, Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and a spoon, the movie focuses on what happens when Kevin Costner decided that he should play a legendary English outlaw. In this episode, they also talk about director's cuts, catapult gags, and the excellence of Alan Rickman

Comedian Troy Kinne finally confronts the cultural juggernaut he's somehow avoided for decades. Despite having visited Harry Potter attractions and pretending to understand Hogwarts house references, Troy experiences the magic of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" for the very first time. His genuine reactions provide both humor and insight as he navigates this beloved fantasy world with fresh perspective. The conversation explores what makes the film magical - the discovery of Diagon Alley, the wonder of Hogwarts, and Harry finding his first true friends. Yet Troy questions certain storytelling choices, wondering if Harry's journey could have had more resistance or personal agency. The hosts dive into the incredible British cast, from Alan Rickman's mysterious Snape to Robbie Coltrane's lovable Hagrid, while discussing J.K. Rowling's strict casting rules that kept the production authentically British.

In this Prof Responds episode, we dive into nearly 400 listener comments about one of the most polarizing figures in the Wizarding World: Severus Snape. From debates about repentance versus regret, to his abuse of students, to his obsessive devotion to Lily, listeners wrestled with whether Snape's choices were acts of love, selfishness, or survival. We also unpack how trauma shaped his radicalization but didn't excuse his cruelty, and how Alan Rickman's unforgettable performance softened the character through what fans call the “baby girlification” of Snape. Finally, Professor Wamble reflects on the gendered double standard in how fandom forgives male characters like Snape while condemning women like Petunia, Umbridge, or Merope with little grace. This episode asks: are we really forgiving Snape—or are we forgiving what he represents?

Confidence is key! Confidence can make very attractive protagonists and villains and it can make almost any character sexy because confidence is compelling. Main characters and villains never have to be confident, but if you want your audience to be drawn to them it's a great technique. To make a sexy, compelling character confidence works was better than skin tight clothes, lingerie, big muscles or bouncing boobies. What is confidence? It's self possession, being comfortable in yourself, being sure of yourself and your decisions, positivity, an air of competence, command, and even control. All these things can work together to become confidence. But there are ways of faking it too: Being arch, arrogant, superior, being an arsehole, entitled, bossing people about, relying on a higher rank or superior job title etc. these things are easy to mistake for confidence and many people tend to imitate or strive for these traits thinking it will make them attractive and popular, but it never quite works. A character doesn't have to start out with confidence or be confident all the time. Many achieve it on their journey over the course of a story. For some it's only in specific contexts, like when they're experts at something. Some start out confident and lose it in the story in order for them to be rebuilt. The mousey girl with glasses and the ponytail doesn't suddenly become sexy because she takes off the glasses and lets down her hair, rather it's because she becomes more confident and those things are symbols of that. Who're some of your fave confident characters in fiction? For me: The Dread Pirate Roberts is a great example, Lord Blackadder in Blackadder 2, lord Flashheart and Captain Flashheart from Blackadder 2 and 4 respectively is a massively confident and attractive character, Elvira Mistress of the Dark is a woman with so much confidence she's a sex-symbol for the ages, Gomez Adams as played by John Astin is supremely confident, Alan Rickman's Sherif of Nottingham stole the whole movie because of the character's confidence.

Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss which actors should reprise their roles in the new Harry Potter TV show. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      Listen to episode 287, “Tom Felton is returning to Broadway. Who should return to the TV show?” Here!·       4:10 Jason Isaacs as Lucius Malfoy. He was the perfect blend of haughty, rude, and fearful. He portrayed a fantastic arc, and really showed us what it means to be afraid. Without a doubt, he would be a great addition. ·      10:21 Alan Rickman as Snape. He shouldn't return. His performance was too perfect. There are no changes I can think to make to it, and so I don't think Alan Rickman should change that. Getting another actor puts a stopper in the bottle of his performance and really immortalizes it.·      18:25 Matthew Lewis as Neville Longbottom. This is an interesting case, because there's no chance for him to return as Neville, but there are other possibilities. Perhaps, he can be a herbology professor who watches over himself in a way, and sees just how much he grows.·      24:41 Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange. I don't think she should return, because she absolutely crushed it. We should get some new blood in there to preserve the performance.·      27:00 Jude Law as Dumbledore. I know, he doesn't really count, but the Fantastic Beasts Dumbledore is pretty close to the same time as some of the flashbacks we got in the films. It would be super cool if Jude Law played the younger version of him. It would put in a natural separation that Dumbledore himself wants between who he was, and who he wants to be.Having anything you want to hear or say?

Welcome back to The Movie Draft House! We're finishing off the month of July 2025 with some spirituality...or something like that...as we continue our year-long theme of "one degree of separation" where each new film we review has to have some connection to the previous weeks' film. This week we reviewed the 1999 Kevin Smith film "Dogma" starring Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Alan Rickman, Chris Rock, and Jay and Silent Bob.

Bienvenue, Void! This week we sit down with a bottle of wine and enjoy watching the French realize they're not perfect. As kids from NorCal we enjoy a little chest thumping and pointing out that every French location in the movie is definitely Calistoga. While this movie fails in many regards, it's saved in key moments like: Alan Rickman trying KFC, Alan Rickman trying guacamole, and Alan Rickman drinking wine. Lowlights include Chris Pine's wig (what IS that THING?!?!?), Mr. President being mean (we still love you Bill Pullman), and country clubs. Shoutout to Joe's Bar and the University of California, Davis (GO AGGIES!!). The point is we love wine, and you should too. 

Galaxy Quest (1999) is one of the most clever and affectionate love letters ever written to sci-fi fandom. It follows the washed-up cast of a cult sci-fi TV series who, after years of coasting on convention appearances, suddenly find themselves whisked into a real interstellar conflict by aliens who believe their show was genuine historical record. While it hilariously pokes fun at sci-fi tropes—like overblown captains, technobabble, and obsessive fans—it does so with deep respect and affection for the genre and its community. The film balances sharp parody with genuine heart, delivering a story that's equal parts comedic romp and heartfelt adventure, anchored by excellent humor, tight pacing, and a fantastic ensemble cast featuring Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, and the wonderful Sam Rockwell.This summer, Galaxy Quest kicks off our “Summer of Sam,” a movie marathon celebrating films featuring actors named Sam. Here, Sam Rockwell absolutely shines as Guy, the anxious extra terrified he's destined to be the expendable crewman—a role that's both hysterical and surprisingly relatable for any sci-fi fan. If you've never seen Galaxy Quest, it's a must-watch, especially if you love Star Trek or sci-fi in general. It's not just a parody; it's a joyful tribute that understands why fans adore starships, aliens, and the hope woven into these stories. By the time the credits roll, you'll be laughing, a little misty-eyed, and absolutely convinced that, even in space, never giving up and never surrendering is the way to go.Stick around until the end for a round of Star Wars Trivia!Safe travels, nomads!

For Sarah's final time in the driver's seat, we watch the 2015 political military thriller Eye In the Sky, featuring Helen Mirren and Alan Rickman in one of his final film roles.

Galaxy Quest was one of the great summer movies of 1999. Except it was released, for some reason, at Christmas. Lovingly sending up television sci-fi of a certain era - and heavily grounded in Star Trek - Galaxy Quest was a modest success as 30th highest grossing movie of 1999 The second feature film, both overall and in as many years following the Vince Gilligan-penned Home Fries with Drew Barrymore and Luke Wilson in 1998, from accomplished television director Dean Parisot, and witten by David Howard and Rob Gordon, Galaxy Quest stars Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Enrico Colantoni, Tony Shaloub, Sam Rockwell, Darryl Chill Mitchell, Robin Sachs, Patrick Breen, Missy Pyle, Jeb Rees, and Rain Wilson and Justin Long in their film debuts. Galaxy Quest has gone on to become one of the great cult films (and most enduring comedies) ever. So we invited culture writer Annie Berke to see how it holds up a quarter century later. Oh, and we basically write the sequel! Annie is on Bluesky @sayanniething

Galaxy Quest (1999) Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Greg Alba & Coy Jandreau boldly go where no fanboys (...or mayhaps a few.. fanboys) have gone before in their Reaction & Review of the 1999 cult classic sci-fi comedy Galaxy Quest! Directed by Dean Parisot (Red 2, Fun with Dick and Jane) and widely regarded as one of the greatest sci-fi parodies ever made, Galaxy Quest is both a hilarious spoof of Star Trek fandom and a heartfelt adventure that stands proudly on its own. The story follows the washed-up cast of a once-popular sci-fi TV show, who find themselves mistaken for real space heroes by an alien race in desperate need of help. Tim Allen (Home Improvement, The Santa Clause) leads the charge as Jason Nesmith / Cmdr. Peter Quincy Taggart, with Sigourney Weaver (Alien, Ghostbusters) as Gwen DeMarco / Lt. Tawny Madison, Alan Rickman (Die Hard, Harry Potter) as the disgruntled Alexander Dane / Dr. Lazarus, and Tony Shalhoub (Monk, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) as the delightfully odd Fred Kwan / Tech Sgt. Chen. Rounding out the crew are Sam Rockwell (Three Billboards, Moon) as Guy Fleegman, Daryl Mitchell (NCIS: New Orleans) as Tommy Webber / Laredo, and Enrico Colantoni (Veronica Mars, Just Shoot Me!) as Mathesar, the sweet alien leader of the Thermians. The film also features a breakout performance by Justin Long (Dodgeball, Live Free or Die Hard) as an obsessive fan who ultimately saves the day, and a terrifying villain in Robin Sachs (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) as General Sarris. Famous moments include the "chomper hallway" sequence, Alan Rickman's iconic "By Grabthar's Hammer" speech, the Omega 13 mystery payoff, and the triumphant fan convention finale. Whether you're a sci-fi geek or just love a good underdog story, this one's got laughs, heart, and surprising emotional depth.

Hola Gerardo aquí en otro episodio de Simplemente Yo; La selección de esta semana es Dogma, es una película de comedia estadounidense de 1999 escrita y dirigida por Kevin Smith. Es la cuarta película de la serie View Askewniverse de Smith.   Este episodio explora la detallada historia de la producción de Dogma, destacando sus dinámicos cambios de guion y la elección del reparto. Concebida inicialmente como un proyecto inicial por Smith, la película evolucionó a partir de diferentes borradores con protagonistas inusuales y elementos míticos. Con actuaciones clave de Chris Rock y Alan Rickman, Dogma ofrece una visión satírica y reflexiva de la religión. El podcast analiza sus cambios inicial por parte de Miramax Films debido a su controvertido contenido, su posterior éxito de distribución a través de Lionsgate y su conversión en un clásico de culto, conocido por sus temas innovadores y sus diálogos ingeniosos. Plot: Una trabajadora de una clínica de abortos con un task especial es llamada a salvar la existencia de la humanidad de ser negada por dos ángeles renegados que intentan explotar un loophole y volver a entrar al Cielo.

Put on your latex head-cap and grab your Thermian translator — this week, your starfleet of snark is diving headfirst into the unlikely sci-fi cult classic that beamed itself into nerd hearts everywhere. Jordan and Heigl travel back to 1999 to explore how a fake show about fake space heroes somehow made real Trekkies weep with joy — and earned an honorary place alongside the actual Star Trek movies. You'll hear how Leonard Nimoy accidentally inspired the original script, why Kevin Kline (not Buzz Lightyear) was supposed to lead the crew, and how Alan Rickman — literal Shakespearean royalty — somehow found himself next to a farting Tim Allen...and hated every second of it. (So did everyone on the set.) Heigl delves deep into Allen’s pre-fame life as a coke mule with a prison stint under his belt, Jordan talks about psychologic effects of space travel and Orson Welles’ touching friendship with Winston Churchill (for some reason), and they both luxuriate in the decades-long feuds between Star Trek cast members. The pair go on to discuss the worst-dubbed F-bomb in cinematic history, why comedy legend Harold Ramis prematurely departed the project, and all the reasons why the producers were terrified they were going to get sued. You’ll also discover how the film’s parody became prophecy, predicting not just the rise of fandom, but the emotional power of obsessive nerdery years before Comic-Con went corporate. So whether you’re a diehard fan or just here for the fart jokes, this one’s for you. By Grabthar’s Hammer — it’s podcast time!

Every main character undergoes a clear arc, moving from cynicism to heroism. Alan Rickman's subtle performance stands out even in a broad comedy. The film smartly deconstructs sci-fi tropes while respecting their place in the genre. Galaxy Quest was ahead of its time in showing the value and meaning of geek culture. The 2019 documentary Never Surrender deepens appreciation for the film's legacy. The upcoming Galaxy Quest series has potential if it honors the original's spirit. Memorable Quotes "You deserve that. And for me, at my best, I need to feel this in my soul to give that to you." (Frank on Alan Rickman's final catchphrase scene) "If the cast of the show was bigger fans of their own show, they would have survived better." (Thomas on how fandom knowledge matters in Galaxy Quest's story) "Tim Allen went from Home Improvement uncertainty to being Buzz Lightyear. This movie came right at that transition." (Frank on Tim Allen's career at the time of Galaxy Quest) "Every conversation moves the story forward. This movie is so well-paced and tight." (Thomas on the film's editing and structure) Call to Action If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe to Challenge Accepted, leave us a review, and share the podcast with a fellow movie lover.

Sense And Sensibility is Ang Lee's take on an English tale of manners, money and matrimony. The Taiwanese director was an outsider to this world, obviously, but he also brought a formality and desperate longing to this project. Lead actress Emma Thompson won an Oscar for her adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel. And it's a good role, doing the buttoned-down thing she did so well back in the '90s. She's a funny woman who made her name being serious. Kate Winslet, Alan Rickman and Hugh Grant are all very good too, but the men take a back seat to the sisters in this movie about (subtle) feminism. So rescue the woman you adore while on a horse when she gets caught in the rain and then try to love enough for two as our 669th episode has the Ellises seeing what the deal is with the Dashwoods and their men in Sense And Sensibility. Well, Actually: at the 11:55 mark, it should be Elizabeth "Spriggs" plural, not "Sprigg" singular. Also, the director of the oft-mentioned 1994 Little Women was Gillian Armstrong.

Send us a textKatie and Bridget travel to NJ to go to church (Mom - aren't you proud!?) as they rewatch: Dogma! It's a movie all about how religion is kinda crazy but also God is totally real and she IS Alanis Morissette! Come along as we meet Bethany, a woman losing her faith who gets visited by a bunch of mystical religious figures and told that she's the chosen one! Casual! When a church in New Jersey somehow has the power to cleanse everyone of their sins, two fallen angels go on an evil quest to clear themselves and reenter heaven. While that may sound nice, it would actually bring about the apocalypse - and somehow this is Bethany's problem! We've got angels, profits, apostles, muses, demons, and two stoners (Jay and Silent Bob) all in this anti-religious but also somehow religious movie which makes us ask the ultimate moral question... Are Matt Damon and Ben Affleck in love with each other or what!? Released in 1999, it was written and directed by Kevin Smith and stars an insane cast including Linda Fiorentino, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Janeane Garofalo, Jason Lee, Alan Rickman, Jason Mewes, Chris Rock, Salma Hayek, George Carlin, and Alanis Morissette.

Heated Rivalry is one of those books that romance lovers place high up on their keeper shelf, and we're talking about why, about how it really knocks sports romance out of the park (yes, we're aware that there is no knocking out of parks in hockey), and how it might be one of the books that launched a thousand hockey ships. We're talking about erotica vs. erotic romance vs. romance, about sexy secrets, about first names and about why it's always sexy when people say "I love you" in a foreign language.

Acclaimed German pianist Pianist Igor Levit talks about his own challenge - that of performing Erik Satie's pioneering piece Vexations, in a performance at the Multitudes arts festival at London's Southbank Centre. The performance is directed by leading performance artist Marina Abramovic and is expected to last approximately 15 hours, as Levit repeats Satie's one-page score 840 times. And how should great women be memorialised? Cultural critic Stephen Bayley and author and activist Sara Sheridan discuss what a memorial to Queen Elizabeth II might look like, and why, in comparison to their male counterparts, so few women have grand memorials in our towns and cities.

Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss some of the major castings that HBO recently confirmed. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      2:17 Still nothing on the trio? We've already heard a lot surrounding other characters, and now we have confirmed other casting. But the series revolves around Harry, Ron, and Hermione, not these others. They are still important, but why would HBO cast the trio last? Perhaps they are going to dive into the past more…·      9:38 More past? If we have castings of characters that have an important role in the past events of the story, that might mean that the filmmakers are going to give us more of that backstory. Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Snape are some of the most important people for the lore of Harry Potter. That must mean something.·      16:29 These choices are overall good. They all have the look and their interviews and previous roles are in support of their choices. My only worry is with Paapa Essiedu. He has a very active energy that could be put to good use, but thinking of Snape, energetic doesn't come to mind. Alan Rickman portrayed a very cool and stoic Snape to a perfect degree. I don't want to put Essiedu in a box, but that portrayal is going to be hard to top.·      23:45 I want Voldemort! There have been no whispers about who he might be, other than perhaps Cillian Murphy which will probably not come to pass. He is the center of the conflict of the story and the one who drives it forward. Without him, there is little to be had when it comes to backstory and plot. We should be afraid of him. He should be a deadly calm that breaks into madness. When will we find an actor like that?Having anything you want to hear or say? Click here for a voice submission or here for text.
