Podcasts about alexander payne's the holdovers

While more bitter than its clear precursor, Dead Poet's Society, Alexander Payne's The Holdovers has a softness and nostalgia that his previous school-based film, Election, does not.

A road trip through a chilly New England winter represents only one section of Alexander Payne's THE HOLDOVERS, but the film's overlap with Hal Ashby's THE LAST DETAIL goes beyond that narrative echo. As in Ashby's 1973 film, one of the examples of 1970s cinema Payne drew on for the look and feel of THE HOLDOVERS, a central triumvirate of two adults and their younger charge have a funny but imperfect bonding experience that avoids simplistic found-family conclusions. We talk through the ways THE HOLDOVERS finds nuance in its different permutations of that trio before turning back to THE LAST DETAIL to compare these films' versions of “showing the kid a good time” in spite of bitter cold and absent parents. And in Your Next Picture Show we stick up for LAST FLAG FLYING, Richard Linklater's little-loved “spiritual sequel” to THE LAST DETAIL. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about THE LAST DETAIL, THE HOLDOVERS,  or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Wesley Morris has served as critic at large at The New York Times since 2015, covering film, politics, and pop culture. He joins this week to discuss this year's Academy Award nominations.  At the top, we discuss the omission of Greta Gerwig from the Best Director category (6:07), former Secretary Clinton on Barbie-gate (10:12), the ‘perversely effective' nature of Killers of the Flower Moon (16:30), and the ways in which Bradley Cooper's Maestro upends the traditional biopic (21:45). Wesley then reflects on his early adventures in moviegoing (30:43), the indie film boom of the late ‘90s (35:15), the rise of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (36:23) what the Best Picture nominations of 1988 can tell us about 2023's slate (38:05), and the erosion of the ‘middle' across film and culture (41:02). On the back-half: Todd Haynes' beguiling new film May December (44:10), Ava DuVernay's Origin (45:53), the Academy's fraught relationship to diversity (53:05), the function of Wesley's work in 2024 (1:05:58) and a reading of his moving, personal review about Alexander Payne's The Holdovers (1:10:54).

The feel good film that took holiday moviegoers by storm, Alexander Payne's The Holdovers follows a cranky history teacher at a remote prep school that is forced to remain on campus over the holidays with a troubled student who has no place to go. We discuss the trifecta of affecting performances in Paul Giamatti, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and first-time performer Dominic Sessa, as well as all the awards they're picking up.

The Third Part in our Stuck at School Trilogy Our 2023 holiday episode features an "instant Christmas classic" (if such a thing exists other than the mighty ELF) in Alexander Payne's THE HOLDOVERS. What does the future hold for this film in future shopping seasons? Repeated airings on Freeform? No! It will reside on Peacock! And thus we must promote it on our soapbox which often features the great work of the heartthrob of our time: Paul Giamatti. Merry Christmas!

On this episode we discuss Alexander Payne's The Holdovers, a brand new Christmas film about the people left behind while everyone else is off on their own holiday adventures. And to help us break it all down, we welcome back Johnny-5, The Human Robot! The Holdovers is all about folks dealing with the loneliness of the holiday season however they can: Drinking, watching game shows, wandering around at night, crashing Christmas parties. Y'know, general introvert behavior. But there's so much more to it than that. It's really something special. We'll dig into all that, plus the McRib being back, reminisce about our own holdover Christmases, and more! (Also, blanket spoiler warning here. We discuss it all, and recommend you see this one first. But you can do what you want, I'm not your dad.) Questions/Comments?

This week, the panel begins by reviewing The Curse, a cringe-worthy Showtime series co-produced by Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie. Fielder and Emma Stone star as Asher and Whitney Siegel, a newlywed couple at the center of a reality HGTV show built on narcissism, gentrification, and lies. Then, the three jump into Alexander Payne's The Holdovers, which Dana describes as a “sadsack Christmas classic,” starring Paul Giamatti as a curmudgeonly misanthrope professor alongside newcomer Dominic Sessa and Da'Vine Joy Randolph. The three play misfits being held over at a prep school during the winter break of 1970. Finally, the trio is joined by Dwight Garner, book critic for The New York Times, to discuss his delightful new memoir, The Upstairs Delicatessen: On Eating, Reading, Reading About Eating, and Eating While Reading.  In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel commemorates Jezebel, the now-shuttered women-focused news and cultural commentary site, and reflects on their relationships with media geared towards women overall.    Email us at culturefest@slate.com.  Endorsements: Dana: Life on Our Planet on Netflix, a nature documentary narrated by Morgan Freeman that tells the four-billion-year story of life on Earth. It's perfect for at-home family viewing over the holidays.  Julia: A hilarious bit Nathan Fielder and Emma Stone did on Jimmy Kimmel Live! while promoting The Curse. In response to a less-than-glowing review of his acting skills in The New York Times, Fielder shows up in-character as a nonchalant, totally not stilted bad boy alongside Stone's non-acted self.   Stephen: “Camus on Tour,” an excellent tour de force essay by Vivian Gornick in The New York Review of Books, in which she covers Camus' Travels in the Americas: Notes and Impressions of a New World.  Podcast production by Jessamine Molli. Production assistance by Kat Hong.    Hosts Dana Stevens, Julia Turner, Stephen Metcalf  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As biopics go, the new PRISCILLA is decidedly less rambunctious than the 2006 provocation MARIE ANTOINETTE, but each of these intimate, sympathetic portraits of a woman who lived in a man's shadow and under his control are unmistakable as the work of Sofia Coppola. This week we get into how our reactions to PRISCILLA — both positive and negative — were affected, even shaped, by its place in Coppola's filmography, and whether the film's compressed third act is a feature or a bug. Then we head into Connections, which is stacked with comparison points between the two films' ideas about power and identity as expressed through fashion, sex, physical vulnerability, and inappropriate puppies. And in Your Next Picture Show, we give the spotlight to another film that's currently in theaters and was in contention for this week's pairing: Alexander Payne's THE HOLDOVERS. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about MARIE ANTOINETTE, PRISCILLA, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Alexander Payne's The Holdovers finds an exquisite balance between charming and depressing. Set in 1970 at a New England boarding school for privileged rich kids to get into even richer universities, we follow Paul Hunham (Paul Giamati) a professor of ancient civilizations at Barton Academy and Angus (Dominic Sessa), one of his students “held over” during the Christmas holiday.

The first big Christmas film of the season, Alexander Payne's "The Holdovers," is actually pretty great (the first Christmas movie of the season is rarely ever good). Film critic Steve Prokopy joins Kerry and Collin for the discussion of this theatrical release that is worthy of your time at your local theater (SPOILERS WARNING FOR THIS EPISODE!). Paul Giamatti plays a teacher stuck babysitting a prep school kid on campus during winter break. Is this one of Payne's best films? What would a pandemic have been like in the 1970s? What is the proper way to make any flaming dessert? All this, plus a look at the latest and greatest in physical media for the month of October for the Blu-ray Gift Exchange.  Since this is a brand new movie, be on the lookout for SPOILERS, particularly in the 49:00 - 55:00 portion. Films covered on the Blu-ray Gift Exchange: Criterion: “Videodrome” and “Tod Browning's Sideshow Shockers” Janus FIlms: “EO”  Paramount: “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts”  Sony: “Rock Around the Clock”  MGM: "Mr. North" Warner Archive: "Double Trouble" "Christopher Strong" "Dance Fools, Dance" "The Devil Doll" Warner Bros." “Barbie” “Meg 2: The Trench" Universal: “The Black Phone”
