Podcast appearances and mentions of Albert Brooks

Pre-Board show for tonight's cocktail show featuring an Albert Brooks interview with Steve & Garry from 40 years ago on WLS radio.

Well it's been a bleak week BUT obviously we have our Larry David and Albert Brooks clips to keep our spirits up. I've been talking to a friend who turns out is IN Defending Your Life - AND my favorite scene - so . . . that's incredible. And, I got my car window fixed, so now I can go around saying, "Hey Babe, be back to pick you up later." I live a full life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Two words: mosh pit wedding. This week, Adam welcomes voice actor, comedian, and guitar madman Jason Kaye to talk about the couple who said “I do” in the middle of a Cannibal Corpse concert. There's blood, there's love, and yes — there's breakdowns (emotional and musical).

It's the OUT OF SIGHT episode, and our guest is Bilge Ebiri. Do we need to sell you on this? OK, fine: in 1998 Steven Soderbergh took a job for hire directing an Elmore Leonard adaptation and ended up finding the style that would define much of his career, minting George Clooney as a movie star, capturing Jennifer Lopez's best-ever performance, working with Don Cheadle and Luis Guzman and a bunch of other people for the first time, and making one of the most watchable films of the 1990s. Jake also read the whole book. We talk about Leonard's moral universe, prison stuff, cop stuff, crime fiction stuff. I mean, come on. It's the OUT OF SIGHT episode with Bilge.

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For.I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. All stories are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes.The rules for law and order create the boundaries for civil co-existence and, ideally, the backdrops for individuals, families, and companies to grow and thrive. Breaking these rules puts civil order at risk. And while murder is the Big Daddy of crimes, codified ordinances across municipal divisions, counties, states, and countries show the nearly endless ways there are to create mayhem. This season, we put our detective skills to the test. This is Season 8, Anything but Murder. This is Episode 7, betrayal is the featured crime. This is Opera Dinner Club by Debra H. GoldsteinDELIBERATIONJessica Rothman is close to discovering who betrayed her grandparents, Helen and Wilhelm Rothman, to the Nazi's but she needs our help to figure out who from the final dinner party betrayed them. Here is the list in the order we met them:Melinda Brooks, smuggler, last of the party remainingAlbert Brooks, professor, opposed to Melinda's activitiesLloyd Edgerton, armament dealer, opposed to Victoria's activitiesVictoria Edgerton, smuggler, Melinda's usual partnerMarta Schmidt, servant to Helen's parents, now living with the RothmansHans Schmidt, servant to Helen's parents, now living with the RothmansBernard Schmidt, son to the Schmidts, working at times as a servant to the RothmansAri, Jewish man working to get children out of AustriaHere is what Jessica knows:Helen Rothman devised a scheme to smuggle valuables for Jews to England. Melinda and Victoria worked together as did Marta and Hans Schmidt.Ari is a mysterious guest who has a seat of honor at the Rothman dinner table. He with Helen proposes to smuggle children out as they are doing with money and jewels.Albert Brooks and Lloyd Edgerton did little to participate for the sake of their businesses. Both were afraid of the fallout should the scheme come to light. Eventually, they both wanted their wives to stop.The Schmidts are German. Having worked for Helen's parents and then moving in with the Rothmans, their loyalty is to the Rothman's.Bernard Schmidt participates in the Nazi youth movement because he's expected to. Like his parents, his loyalty is to the Rothmans.Upon whom do we shine the spotlight of betrayal?ABOUT Debra H. GoldsteinJudge Debra H. Goldstein is the author of Kensington's Sarah Blair mystery series that features a woman who finds being in the kitchen more frightening than murder (One Taste Too Many, Two Bites Too Many, Three Treats Too Many, Four Cuts Too Many, and Five Belles Too Many).

It’s no surprise that a majority of Gen Z prefers content creators over traditional entertainment, but can the Hollywood establishment find a way to feed the next generation’s media diet? Matt Belloni and The Hollywood Reporter’s Alex Weprin investigate.    Plus, we revisit Kim Masters’ conversation with Rob Reiner and Albert Brooks about Reiner’s HBO documentary, Albert Brooks: Defending My Life. The legendary filmmakers talk about their early years in the industry and they talk about the drastically changing landscape of entertainment.    

Hablar del Cielo es para la mayoría, una forma de escapismo o mera especulación. En la Biblia, el cielo es la atmósfera, donde están las aves y las nubes, o el firmamento de planetas y estrellas, pero también al lugar al que se refiere Jesús en el capítulo 14 de la Buena Noticia según Juan: allí donde Dios está. Nuestra sintonía de "Ruta 66" está, esta vez. a cargo de una cantante y bailarina afroamericana ya fallecida, Othella Dallas (1925-2020), que fue del sur de Estados Unidos a Basilea en Suiza, donde murió y fundó una escuela de danza. Robert Smith escribió en el sur de Francia para su grupo, The Cure, la canción "Tal y como en el Cielo" (Just Like Heaven) en 1987. Habla de un viaje a la costa con la que será luego su esposa. Expresa como estar en el Cielo es unirte a la persona que amas. El argentino Kevin Johansen nació en Alaska cuando su padre huía del Vietnam con una mujer argentina. Tras su separación, Kevin vive con su madre entre Buenos Aires y Montevideo, hasta casarse con una bailarina argentina e irse a vivir a Nueva York. Allí el escocés David Byrne hizo en 1979 para su grupo Talking Heads, la canción que Johansen canta en castellano en 2022, "El Cielo". Ese mismo título tiene la canción que grabó en 1984, el grupo inglés The Psychedelic Furs (Heaven). Hay pocas películas que se atrevan a imaginar la vida después de la muerte. Una de las más curiosas es la del cómico judío Albert Brooks, que llamamos en España, "El Cielo... próximamente" y en Hispanoamérica; "Visa al Paraíso", pero su verdadero título es "Defendiendo tu vida". La hizo en 1991 con él como un publicista de Los Ángeles que muere en un accidente de coche, el día de su cumpleaños y va a la Ciudad del Juicio, donde encuentra a Meryl Streep. Escuchamos varias escenas de la versión doblada al castellano con los comentarios de José de Segovia sobre la banda sonora original de Michael Gore. La canción "Llamando a las Puertas del Cielo" (Knockin´On Heaven´s Door) es una de las más populares del actual Premio Nobel de Literatura, Bob Dylan. La escribió para el western de Sam Peckinpah, Pat Garrett y Billy The Kid en 1973. La han cantado muchos después, pero pocas versiones están tan logradas como la que hizo el propio Dylan hace medio siglo en el teatro de la plaza de la universidad de Harvard en la Rolling Thunder Revue con el violín de Scarlet Rivera y la guitarra de T-Bone Burnett. El auténtico góspel, la música de la iglesia afroamericana, aparece de forma renovada en las canciones del pastor de Los Ängeles, Deitrick Haddon, que en su visión del Cielo (Well Done 2011), recuerda a la música de Prince con la claridad del Evangelio.

Inching ever closer to the monumental episode #700, Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl are here to discuss not just life in the movies... but AFTERLIFE in the movies.  The coolest, scariest, most unique, or best (subjective) portrayals of the Heavenly Realm... or the Hot Basement... and maybe even some purgatory in between. First, the Angelic Trio checks out the box office in 2024, with a round of Box Office Mojo - figuring out what films made the most money... domestically of course (because we aren't communists), and in the calendar year.   Then, a list of films featuring the Big Guy Upstairs, Ol' No Shoulders down below, a few angels, a few demons and more.  From Bill and Ted to Swayze to Albert Brooks to some Pixar Dr. Earl has never seen, it's a fun list. A blessed list, we hope. Thoughts and prayers.  Has to be blessed with Malick, right?  Right?  Finally, a quick look at the new film "Companion", and both d$ and Mikey's recommendations.

Sarofsky designed titles for Guardians of the Galaxy, Werewolf by Night, and Echo, as well as James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, plus comedies Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Community.

This week we have a bonus episode! This is the documentary that inspired our Albert Brooks Festival and we wanted to share our thoughts with you about the doc itself, how it changed our view of Albert after the festival and celebrate what a damn comedic prodigy he really was. Enjoy!

With a PhD from the University of California Irvine, behavioral designer Ian Tingen has a range of capabilities: strategic planning, market research, management change, qualitative research, unconscious bias awareness training, behavioral science, and legal analysis, among others. As one of his clients said, "...when you need to make the impossible possible, work with Ian." When it comes to movies, he's a big fan of 2011's Drive starring Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Albert Brooks, Bryan Cranston, Oscar Isaac, Christina Hendricks, and Ron Perlman. A stuntman (Gosling), who's a getaway driver in his free time, becomes close with his neighbors, then gets twisted up in a robbery that goes wrong. Although it has some slow moments, and we see characters contemplating events and plotting their next moves, from start to finish Drive puts the pedal to the metal.-Ian Tingenhttps://www.tingenindustries.com/abouthttps://www.decision-deck.com/https://www.threads.net/@tingenismhttps://www.youtube.com/@tingenismhttps://uci.academia.edu/iwthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uogChEDRAis-Drive (2011)https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780504/https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0716347/https://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/16/movies/drive-with-ryan-gosling-review.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_(novel)

The frantic holiday season is upon us, but we are breaking from our seasonality trend for this special episode to celebrate our favorite soon-to-be college graduate. Broadcast News has long been a favorite film of ours, and it's a great feeling when a film can be handed down to the next generation and they love it as much as we do. Holly Hunter, William Hurt, Albert Brooks, Joan Cusack present a believable and engaging ensemble (supported by a deft cameo performance by Jack Nicholson). Written and directed by James L. Brooks, the film won critical praise and 7 Oscar noms, and was designated for preservation by United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, as well as making several of AFIs top lists since it's 1987 release. As our Information Age moves into uncharted territory with multiple social media platforms, streaming services, and the increased use of AI for media production, we think it's a film well worth revisiting, if only to remind ourselves (and hopefully our listeners) of the standards that constitute ethical, well sourced, and reliable journalism. “Vincit Omnia Veritas”

Written, directed and acted all by Brooks himself we get a self loathing, selfish man who is too into his own world and his own problems to truly face what's actually affecting his relationship with his patient girlfriend.
