Hay películas que te atrapan por determinados motivos, por su estética, por su música, por su acción. Big Fish es una película que desde el primer momento me atrapó por su corazón. Un cuento moderno que, de la mano de Tim Burton, nos va a presentar a este mentiroso maravilloso interpretado de forma excepcional por Albert Finney y por el absolutamente carismático Ewan McGregor y que nos llevan a lo largo de todo el metraje por la historia de su vida, mientras su hijo trata de descubrir quién es realmente este hombre, este “cuenta cuentos”. Si esta película tiene además una cualidad excepcional es que absolutamente todas las personas con las que he hablado y la han visto coincidimos que tiene la maravillosa virtud de atraparte, pellizcarte el corazón y que termines con una sonrisa de oreja a oreja y un mar de lágrimas saliendo de tus ojos y doy gracias de haberla descubierto en su momento sin saber que me iba a encontrar al verla, porque hizo que el camino fuera, de principio a fin, una auténtica sorpresa a disfrutar. Adentrarte en esos parajes, esos pueblos, conocer a cada uno de los personajes, a cada cual más maravilloso que el anterior y por supuesto descubrir junto a Edward al amor de su vida. Por eso, sin contarte más historias, te invito a ti, amigo de Carne de Videoclub a que nos acompañes a tres personajes excepcionales como son el hombre que más discos del mundo, Domingo DarkVinyl, el hombre que cruzo el mundo corriendo sin parar a descansar, Champi y el que aquí os escribe el hombre que dio la idea a un tal Walt de dibujar un Ratón con guantes, Pablo López.

Jim explores a classic 1981 Sci-Fi film written and directed by Michael Crichton - "Looker," starring Albert Finney, Susan Dey, James Coburn, Leigh Taylor-Young, Dorian Harewood, Tim Rossovich, Darryl Hickman, Terri Welles, Terry Kiser, Georganne Johnson, and Richard Venture. Mysterious deaths involving models who were patients of a well-know plastic surgeon leads to uncovering a corporate plot that will go to any lengths to suceed.

On this episode Austin and Tim travel back to 1961 to see 7 movies! First, a melodrama called By Love Possessed, followed by Danny Kaye in On the Double, Albert Finney in Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, The Fabulous Adventures of Jules Verne, Disney's 101 Dalmation, Disney's The Absent-Minded Professor, and closing out the evening with Jerry Lewis' The Ladies Man! Check it out!

On this episode of Late to the Party, we finally sit down to talk about the 2000 legal drama Erin Brockovich. From award-winning performances to its real-life environmental case, we discuss why this film became such a defining movie of the early 2000s and whether it still holds up today. We break down the story, the performances, and some of the storytelling choices that helped make the film both accessible and impactful.• The powerhouse performance from Julia Roberts that ultimately won her the Academy Award for Best Actress• The simplification of the real-life case the film is based on, and whether that choice made the story more accessible or took away from the complexity of the situation• Underdeveloped relationships with some of the side characters, including Erin's children and George• Why the film works as a classic David vs. Goliath story where the little guy takes on a powerful corporation• Erin's dynamic with Ed Masry, played by Albert Finney, and why we thought the pairing worked so well on screenIf you've never seen Erin Brockovich or you're revisiting it years later like we did, tune in as we break down what works, what doesn't, and whether this real-life legal drama still packs the same punch.Synopsis: A twice-divorced mother of three who sees an injustice, takes on the bad guy and wins – with a little help from her push-up bra. Erin goes to work for an attorney and comes across medical records describing illnesses clustered in one nearby town. She starts investigating and soon exposes a monumental cover-up.

Maybe it's time for another podcast and this time we discuss the 1982 classic ‘Annie' who is living a Hard Knock Life in a New York orphanage run by the infamous Miss. Hannigan. Starring Aileen Quinn, Albert Finney and musical royalty Carol Burnett, Tim Curry and Bernadette Peters. Tune in and look to Tomorrow!

This season I'm blowing the idea that ‘characters need arcs' out of the water. Erin Brockovich is a constant character and she's an underdog. With the odds against her, she does not change instead, she bends the world to suit herself. This is no mean feat, because the villain is powerful and wealthy. In underdog movies the speech in praise of the villain is essential. It's through this speech that we understand how powerful and how unlikely it is for our protagonist to come out on top. Join us as we unpack how a constant character and speeches in praise of the villain work together to deliver a deeply satisfying story. - M.

Para recordar a la gran Agatha Christie en el 50 aniversario de su fallecimiento, Juan Luis Álvarez recuerda tres series especialmente destacadas, basadas en sus libros: una que es novedad, otra que se podrá ver completa por primera vez en la misma plataforma y la mejor de todas, en su opinión. Las siete esferas (Netflix, miniserie, 3 capítulos) Inglaterra, 1925. En una lujosa fiesta en una casa de campo, una broma con siete despertadores para levantar de la cama a un encantador joven algo holgazán parece haber salido terriblemente —y mortalmente— mal. La tarea de resolver el misterio recaerá en la menos esperada de las detectives: la vivaz e inquisitiva Lady Eileen 'Bundle' Brent, quien deberá desentrañar una escalofriante conspiración que cambiará su vida y pondrá al descubierto los secretos más oscuros de la alta sociedad inglesa. Lo mejor: El magnífico arrope para esta juguetona historia menor. Bundle es una estupenda heroína moderna en un eterno clásico. Lo peor: Andan un poco sueltos los herederos a la hora de no exigir mayor respeto por las exquisitas tramas perfectamente trazadas por la abuelita, siempre interesantes y equilibradas. Trailer Poirot (Filmin, 13 temporadas, 70 episodios) Por primera vez se podrá ver toda la serie completa que se desarrolló entre 1989 y 2013 en una plataforma (Filmin). Están adaptadas prácticamente todas las novelas y relatos cortos que tienen a Poirot como protagonista, incluida "Telón", el sorprendente último caso del detective belga de las células grises. Lo mejor: David Suchet, para muchos, el mejor. Por encima de Albert Finney y Peter Ustinov. El gran respeto mostrado por la autora y el personaje Lo peor: Ojo con los empachos. Trailer Diez negritos (Movistar, 3 episodios) Diez extraños son invitados a la isla de Soldier, una roca aislada, cerca de la costa de Devon. Llevados desde el continente, con sus generosos anfitriones misteriosamente ausentes, cada uno de ellos está acusado de un crimen terrible. Cuando uno muere de repente se dan cuenta de que pueden tener un asesino entre ellos. Lo mejor: Todo, el reparto, la atmósfera aterradora, la progresión dramática... Lo peor: La polémica con el título, procedente de una canción infantil. Trailer

Send us a textKatie and Bridget sing very loudly and do choreography as they re-watch the Broadway Musical adaptation: Annie! It might have one of the weirdest political messaging of all time, but god damn it do the songs just slap! Come along as we meet Annie, a little orphan with a bad wig and a dream, hoping to escape the orphanage and find her real parents - all while loudly singing about it while everyone's trying to sleep. But when Annie gets adopted (only for a week as a PR stunt LOL) by the rich Daddy Warbucks - real name - she gets to experience what being rich is really about. All while the rest of her friends still at the orphanage with the drunk Miss Hannigan continue to have to do chores and get abused! When Daddy Warbucks offers a reward for Annie's real parents to come forth, the real evil greed of money is shown and Annie almost falls off a building or something. But it's fine because money solves everything and so does SINGING! YAY! We've got hardcore Republican messaging (HELP), gin baths, and banger songs all in this really entertaining movie musical. Released in 1982, it stars Aileen Quinn, Albert Finney, Carol Burnett, Ann Reinking, Tim Curry, and Bernadette Peters.

In this episode, Stuart and Jacob are joined by special guest Hannah as they take on a decade spanning musical, with examinations of the 1982 and 2014 films (and the Disney produced, made-for-TV 1999 version). Charm is explored and nostalgia expounded upon as they look upon the many memorable performances of 1982m, look at how they were done on television with a smaller budget, and then jump all the way ahead to modern times to view a story that could be anything OTHER than Annie! Why does this musical endure for audiences, and how do you iterate on what many consider to be a timeless tale? Is there a place for the whimsical in a world that feels increasingly sterile? And just how many times can one mention "Little Girls" before it gets weird?Also featured in this episode are a brief dive into "Winter Burrow", praise for Carol Burnett and Albert Finney, Jamie Foxx's germaphobia, and some collar-tugging enjoyment of Punjab.

EPISODE 111 -  “CELEBRATING DIANE KEATON: THE HIDDEN GEMS OF A HOLLYWOOD ORIGINAL” - 10/27/25 When DIANE KEATON passed away on October 11, 2025, she left behind an incredible legacy of important films and stunning performances that were some of the best of the era. Her youthful effervescence, her fashion style, everything about her belied mortality.  Most people think of her masterful, Oscar-winning performance in Annie Hall, (1977) but her career is so much more than that one role. Over the past five decades, her filmography is a study in contrasts: farce, heart wrenching dramas, rom-coms with a twist — she's taken risks, playing complicated women (even in the lighter faire), and made some really interesting choices. In this episode, we're going to take a look at some of the films Diane Keaton made that don't always get the spotlight they deserve. Watching these films, whether for the first time or a revisit, you realize just how bold and varied her work was. Whether in a quiet drama focusing on an intimate character study, a quirky comedy, or something completely unexpected, Diane Keaton always brought a mix of honesty, humor, and heart that was entirely her own.  So, today we honor the life and legacy of the multifaceted Diane Keaton.

Send us a textSPECIAL NOTE: SEASON 15 OF THE GOOD, THE POD AND THE UGLY CELEBRATES THE USE OF THE PRACTICAL AND DIGITAL EFFECT KNOWN AS THE SQUIB. IRL GUN VIOLENCE IS INTOLERABLE AND RENOUNCED BUT... CINEMATIC VIOLENCE WILL BE CELEBRATED IN A WAY THAT MAY DISTURB SOME LISTENERS.  What's the rumpus? This week TGTPTU gives the Coen Brothers movie classic MILLER'S CROSSING (1990) the treatment as part of its Squib Season, see.  Lensed by Barry Sonnenfeld in his last frolic as the brothers' cinematographer, Ethan Coen told the man with a golden eye that Miller's Crossing should be a handsome film about men in hats, and Sonnenfeld delivers the goods with one spectacularly shot period piece from the Prohibition Era.  The picture stars Gabriel Byrne as Tom Reagan, the hard-drinking, harder-gambling Irish consigliere who knows all the angles, who's having an affair with his boss's skirt Verna Bernbaum (played by Marcia Gay Harden, who shortly after filming would originate the role of Harper Pitt in Tony Kushner's two-part play Angels in America, see Season 7 of TGTPTU for more!).  Pod favorite John Turturro plays her brother Bernie, a conniving low-life crook who causes the friction in the ranks and can turn on the waterworks when needed. Jon Polito plays a loving dad allergic to the high-hat and with his right-hand J. E. Freeman playing the Dane (same year he'd star in Wild at Heart, see Season 4) they plan to take over the town from Albert Finney in one of his two roles as Tom's boss Leo (the other appearance uncredited, spoilers during the episode for this Easter egg). Also, director and occasional second-unit-for-the-Coens-director Sam Raimi (and, can you believe it, brother of actor Ted Raimi from Hard Target covered earlier this Squib Games season!) shows up to plug a speakeasy patron grabbing air before himself getting gatted. And if you still haven't had your fill, at this buffet of talent we even get a smattering of Steve Buscemi delivering ratatat dialogue for a scene.   This ep, Jack brings the book report, Thomas the Danish facts, Ken reenacts the experience of watching Miller's Crossing with him by dropping movie quotes throughout the episode, Ryan brings up Gabriel Byrne's acting chops, and all four hosts harmonize on the greater good.   Now get outta here. You're stinking up the joint.  THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Sometimes Christmas just doesn't feel like Christmas.  It's December 2001, and Richard is living alone, facing down his first Christmas Eve without his family.  But he's about to learn that Christmas has its own magic -- and its own surprising plans for him… One hundred and fifty-eight years earlier, Charles Dickens changed the world with his story of another lonely man on Christmas Eve who ended up getting far more than he bargained for.  What Dickens didn't know -- but Richard does all too well -- is that what he actually created was literatures most famous near-death experience.  Join Richard and Dickens as they each face down their Christmas ghosts -- and hope to wake up the next morning transformed… Notes & Links: You can get a copy of Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol pretty much anywhere, but I highly recommend Michael Patrick Hearns' The Annotated Christmas Carol where I got most of the information for this episode.  You can get it at AbeBooks here: https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?ch_sort=t&cm_sp=sort-_-SRP-_-Results&ds=30&dym=on&isbn=9780393051582&rollup=on&sortby=2  Get the DVD of Albert Finney's musical Scrooge here:  https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/dvd-scrooge-ronald-neame/3719770?ean=0097361459745&gQT=0  Learn all about the GameBoy Advance Owen wanted so badly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQvSB3KBUIE

Caring crusaders are almost their own movie genre and one of the most successful films about such is Erin Brockovich. Steven Soderbergh had a huge year in 2000 with Traffic and also this biopic, turning both into blockbuster Oscar-winners. He won the award for directing Traffic while Julia Roberts won her own gold trophy for playing the brash, real-life, legal assistant who works day and night to expose an environmental cover-up that killed children in a small California town. Albert Finney, Aaron Eckhart and Marg Helgenberger shine too, but this movie belong to Julia…and it might be her signature performance. So, Stick Man, be like Erin and be an empath in provocative clothes as we file a class action lawsuit against those who poison water, but as we also review Erin Brockovich in this 673rd edition of Have You Ever Seen.

Paul and Erin pack their bags and discuss two films about married couples going on multiple vacations: Alan Alda's 1981 comedy-drama THE FOUR SEASONS and Stanley Donen's 1967 drama TWO FOR THE ROAD.

Soderbergh finally hit a box-office home run in 2000 with ERIN BROCKOVICH, a Julia Roberts-starring biopic about a paralegal with a big personality and a nose for corporate environmental malfeasance, and the one-two punch of BROCKOVICH and TRAFFIC in a single year cemented him as a truly major filmmaker. This is one of the big ones, so we brought in our friend Carlee from Hit Factory to talk about basically everything: capitalism, the climate, gender, fashion, interpassivity, Todd Haynes, and Sheryl Crow.

Working at a small law firm, Erin discovers that Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) has been contaminating the water supply of Hinkley, California, leading to severe health issues for its residents. Despite having no formal legal training, her relentless determination and personal connection to the victims drive her to build a case against the corporation. With her bold personality and refusal to back down, she helps secure a record-breaking $333 million settlement.

EPISODE 76 - “MEMORABLE OSCAR SPEECHES OF THE GOLDEN ERA OF HOLLYWOOD” - 2/24/2025 Winning an Oscar is a dream for most people who work in Hollywood. But you can't just win the Oscar, you have to have a good speech once your name is called and you head to the podium. There have been some great ones — OLIVIA COLEMAN's funny and cheeky speech hit the right tone and who can forget JACK PALANCE's one-arm push-ups or CUBA GOODING's exuberance? There have also been some bad ones — don't we all still cringe a little at SALLY FIELDS' “You like me” speech? As we prepare to celebrate the 97th annual Academy Award ceremony, Steve and Nan look back on some of their favorite Oscar speeches and why they resonate. So put on your tux, don the gown and jewels, pop the champagne, and join us for a fun talk about … well, people talking.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: “Five Times The Oscars Made History,” January 20, 2017, www.nyfa.edu; “Hollywood History: How World War II Forced the Academy to Rethink the 1942 Oscars,” April 16, 2021, Entertainment Weekly; “Charlie Chaplin vs. America Explores the Accusations that Sent a Star Into Exile,” October 24, 2023, byTerry Gross, www.npr.com; “The Most Memorable Oscar Speeches in Oscar History,” March 6, 2024, by Shannon Carlin, www.time.com;   Wikipedia.com; TCM.com; IMDBPro.com; www.Oscars.org; Movies Mentioned:  Stella Dallas (1938), starring Barbara Stanwyck, John Boles, Anne Shirley, & Alan Hale; Gone With The Wind (1939), starring Vivian Leigh, Clark Gable, Olivia de Havilland, Leslie Howard, Hattie McDaniel, Butterfly McQueen, Thomas Mitchell, & Barbara O'Neil; How Green Was My Valley (1941), starring Walter Pidgeon, Maureen O'Hara, & Donald Crisp; Sergeant York (1941), starring Gary Cooper, Joan Leslie, & Walter Brennan;  The Devil and Miss Jones (1941), staring Jean Arthur Robert Cummings, & Charle Coburn; Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941), starring Robert Montgomery, Claude Rains, & Evelyn Keyes; Ball of Fire (1942), starring Barbara Stanwyck & Cary Cooper; Double Indemnity (1944), starring Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray & Edward G Robinson; Key Largo (1948); starring Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Edward G Robinson, Claire Trevor, & Lionel Barrymore; All The King's Men (1948), starring Broderick Crawford, John Ireland, Joanne Dru, & Mercedes McCambridge; Pinky (1949), starring Jeanne Crain, Ethel Waters, Ethel Barrymore, Nina Mae McKinney, & Wiliam Lundigan; Marty (1955); starring Ernest Borgnine.

Today is a bit of a surprise entry in the list of Beeper Bob Classics as it's not a movie the boys thought would resonate with the man. Big Fish starring Ewan McGregor, Albert Finney, Helena Bonham Carter, Danny DeVito, and many more. Big Fish follows the many craftfully told stories of Edward Bloom and how they affected the lives of those who knew him. A heartfelt movie about the many dynamics of a relationship between a man and his father, Big Fish certainly has earned itself a reputation on the streets, but can it get a good score in the Where To Stick It arena?Support the showCatch new episodes of the Where to Stick It Podcast every Tuesday and Thursday.

But this couldn't be further from the truth. At the Colson Center, we believe the Church is God's gift to the world, called to be present and active in this cultural moment without being taken captive by it. In other words, the Church is meant to “move the world,” not move with the world. That's why we equip believers with a Christian worldview through our media, training programs, and events—because a Church that “moves the world” starts with one faithful Christian. We need your help to continue strengthening the Church in 2025. Thanks to a generous matching donation, every gift between now and December 31 will be DOUBLED until we meet the full match.

The indie filmmaker Alan Rudolph ("Choose Me", "Trouble in Mind") makes his first appearance on the podcast. His 1999 film, originally written for his mentor Bob Altman to direct but ended up in his hands some years later. That film is"Breakfast of Champions" and, after 25 years, is returning to theaters. The film was adapted from the unadaptable novel by Kurt Vonnegut, and stars Bruce Willis and Albert Finney. In this special conversation, Rudolph reflects on his year as Altman's assistant director and his career at large. "Breakfast of Champions" tells the story of a fictional town in the mid west that is home to a group of idiosyncratic and slightly neurotic characters. Dwayne Hoover is a wealthy car dealership owner that's on the brink of suicide and is losing touch with reality. https://youtu.be/SaOQbpBJ6t0 Carrie Rickey is a film journalist and author. Her new book is a biography of the French New Wave filmmaker Agnès Varda called "A Complicated Passion: The Life and Work of Agnès Varda" (W.W. Norton, 2024). Over the course of her sixty-five-year career, the longest of any female filmmaker, Agnès Varda (1928–2019) wrote and directed some of the most acclaimed films of her era, from her tour de force "Cléo from 5 to 7" (1962), a classic of modernist cinema, to the beloved documentary "The Gleaners and I" (2000) four decades later. She helped to define the French New Wave, inspired an entire generation of filmmakers, and was recognized with major awards at the Cannes, Berlin, and Venice Film Festivals, as well as an honorary Oscar at the Academy Awards. In this lively biography, former Philadelphia Inquirer film critic Carrie Rickey explores the complicated passions that informed Varda's charmed life and indelible work. Rickey traces Varda's three remarkable careers—as still photographer, as filmmaker, and as installation artist. She explains how Varda was a pioneer in blurring the lines between documentary and fiction, using the latest digital technology and carving a path for women in the movie industry. She demonstrates how Varda was years ahead of her time in addressing sexism, abortion, labor exploitation, immigrant rights, and race relations with candor and incisiveness. https://youtu.be/DwECtUfablw
