LOOK UP IN THE SKY!! Superman Returns Full Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Start your online business with a $1 per-month trial when you visit https://www.shopify.com/rejects! Andrew & Tara CONTINUE Their Road to James Gunn's Superman giving their Superman Returns Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Join Andrew Gordon & Tara Erickson as they soar back to the Man of Steel's world in Bryan Singer's Superman Returns (2006). After a five-year absence, Clark Kent / Superman (Brandon Routh, Dodgeball, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) returns to Earth only to discover that his love, Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth, Blue Crush, 3000 Miles to Graceland), has moved on—and even has a young son, Jason. As Clark grapples with heartbreak, he uncovers a nefarious plot by Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey, American Beauty, The Usual Suspects) to use stolen Kryptonian technology to reforge the world in his image. Rounding out the stellar cast are James Marsden (Cyclops in X-Men, Enchanted) as Lois's fiancé Richard White, Parker Posey (the “Queen of Indies” in Party Girl, Best in Show) as tabloid editor Kitty Kowalski, Sam Huntington (Disturbia, I Am Number Four) as earnest photographer Jimmy Olsen, Frank Langella (Oscar-nominated for Frost/Nixon) as Perry White, and Kal Penn (Harold & Kumar, Designated Survivor) as Richard's brother, Stanford White. The spirit of Superman's father, Jor-El, is heard in archive audio of Marlon Brando (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now), tying this chapter back to the character's origins. Don't miss Tara & Andrew's breakdown of the film's most iconic moments—from the breathtaking sequence where Superman slows time to save Lois and Jason in that penthouse fall, to the jaw-dropping finale atop Lex's oceanic fortress, where Superman confronts a golden statue come to life. We'll discuss the soaring flight through Lois's apartment, the emotional “son of Krypton” reveal, and how Superman Returns balances nostalgia with new stakes for Earth's greatest hero.

What a surreal moment - getting to chat with Thomas Newman and Julia Newman! Whether you're a big film music fan or a casual film goer, I'll guess that you're familiar with Tom, having been nominated for fifteen Academy Awards (I accidentally say fourteen...) and scoring projects like The Shawshank Redemption, American Beauty, Finding Nemo & Finding Dory, 1917, and loads more. Now, Julia is picking up the family's film and tv scoring mantle, and the two of them recently co-scored Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, a dramatization of the Menendez brothers crimes. We use the series as a jumping off point for the conversation, regularly referring to and discussing it while also pivoting into broader conversations about collaboration, improvisation and working quickly, the use of theme and repetition, and plenty more. Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story is currently on Netflix, and Tom and Julia's score (as well as much of their other work) is available on all major platforms.

In this episode, we discuss the deeply suburban and highly neurotic dark dramedy American Beauty, directed by Sam Mendes. We follow Lester Burnham, an everyday executive, as he experiences a midlife crisis that tears at his familial bonds, while he falls deeper into his twisted obsession with his daughter's friend. Meanwhile, his materialistic wife Carolyn and alienated daughter Jane both grapple with their own suburban dysfunction. This middle-class tale from the turn of the millennium explores how warped self-fulfillment, rampant materialism, and spiritual imprisonment create a darkly hilarious combination in the form of a loneliness epidemic that breeds negativity beneath picture-perfect facades.

Movie of the Year: 1999ElectionWhy Election Still Wins in 2025Election (1999), directed by Alexander Payne, is more than a high school satire—it's a prescient political commentary that resonates even more strongly today. In this episode of the Movie of the Year podcast, our panel dissects the themes, characters, and real-world connections that make the 1999 film Election a lasting cultural touchstone. Whether you're a cinephile, a political junkie, or just love smart storytelling, this episode is for you.Tracy Flick: Ambition MisunderstoodReese Witherspoon's portrayal of Tracy Flick has become iconic—a name synonymous with hyper-ambition. But is she the villain the culture made her out to be? Our hosts dig into Tracy's motivations, the pressures she faces, and why she remains such a lightning rod in discussions about women in power. We also explore how Tracy has been unfairly weaponized in political commentary and what her character says about gender dynamics in leadership.Related Link:Tracy Flick and the Misogyny of Ambition – The AtlanticMultiple Narrators: A Study in SubjectivityOne of Election's standout narrative techniques is its use of multiple unreliable narrators. The podcast explores how shifting points of view from characters like Jim McAllister (Matthew Broderick) and Tracy Flick enhance the story's depth. By hearing each character's internal monologue, viewers are invited to question their judgments and reconsider the "truth" behind every action.This layered storytelling approach reflects the film's central themes of bias, self-deception, and moral relativism—perfect fodder for a podcast discussion.The Real-Life Politics of ElectionAt its core, Election is a biting political allegory. Our panel draws parallels between the film's student election and the real-world electoral process, both in 1999 and today. We discuss how the film anticipates the rise of personality-driven campaigns, performative outrage, and the weaponization of narrative control.From Clinton-era scandals to 21st-century political polarization, Election serves as a surprisingly accurate mirror of American democracy. We also examine the cultural aftershocks of Tracy Flick's character, who continues to be cited in political discourse more than two decades later.External Resources:IMDb: Election (1999)Roger Ebert's Review of ElectionRevisiting the 1999 Season: American Beauty in the SpotlightAs part of their ongoing mission to revisit the films of their first 1999 season, The Taste Buds also take a fresh look at American Beauty in this episode. They reflect on how the film has aged, explore its themes in the context of today's culture, and consider how its reputation has evolved. This bonus discussion offers added value for long-time listeners and new fans exploring the best films of 1999 through a modern lens.Final Thoughts: Election Still Gets Our VoteMore than two decades after its release, Election remains eerily relevant and endlessly entertaining. Through nuanced performances, clever storytelling, and bold satire, Alexander Payne crafted a film that continues to spark debate. This episode of Movie of the Year unpacks all that and more, providing listeners with a thoughtful and engaging breakdown of why...

Lester Burnham, 42 anni, vive in una tipica villetta americana con la moglie Carolyn e la figlia Jane. Lavora in un'azienda pubblicitaria che disprezza, è annoiato, demotivato e invisibile nella propria vita. Carolyn è una donna ossessionata dal controllo e dalle apparenze, mentre Jane è un'adolescente introversa e distante. La narrazione si apre con la voce fuori campo di Lester, che ci dice apertamente che tra un anno sarà morto. È l'inizio di un racconto di disillusione e risveglio. Il quartiere appare perfetto in superficie, ma già si percepisce una profonda ipocrisia di fondo. La famiglia vive insieme, ma è separata emotivamente. L'arrivo dei nuovi vicini, i Fitts, mette in moto un lento cambiamento. Jane nota subito il figlio Ricky, uno strano ragazzo che filma tutto ciò che lo circonda. Intanto Lester comincia a osservare il mondo con uno sguardo cinico e rassegnato.Il film di questa puntata è American Beauty.Con la collaborazione di Fabiola Berretta (Curiosità), Mariangela Ungaro (Cinema d'ascolto), Giulio Tiezzi (Critica), Fernanda Cherubini (Cast), Marco Pieroni (voce narrante).

Lindsey Campbell interviews Julia Berman (producer) about the feature film GRIFFIN IN SUMMER. See it as part of Rainbow Visions Film Festival on Sat May 17th at 7:15 pm at the Metro Cinema. In GRIFFIN IN SUMMER an aspiring young playwright Griffin Nafly, summer break means it's time to stage another dramatic new play, this time an ambitious cross between "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" and "American Beauty." However, his producer and cast members are starting to get distracted by more trivial (aka: fun) teen pursuits, so Griffin's attention shifts toward the hunky handyman (Owen Teague) his mom has hired to do some light renos around the house. Finding himself utterly smitten, but also seeing Brad as a peer and kindred creative spirit, Griffin embarks on a potentially life-changing summer.

The decade wraps up with one beautifully crafted but disturbingly hollow Best Picture, and one beloved franchise returning with a controversial entry. Recurring guest/victim of scheduling Munsi Parker-Munroe is back for the takes, joining Claire, Erin, and Dan in being mad at how well made American Beauty is in spite of the troubling central themes and lead actor, then digging into Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, looking for the few good scenes and asking whether a story about how fascism takes root in a decadent democracy is aided or undermined by a CG fart clown. Tune in and find out how Phantom Menace does as a Star War, and which aged worse: American Beauty or Gone With the Wind?Find all of our episodes and the rest of Writing Therapy Productions' various entertainments at www.writingtherapyproductions.com

You're likely thinking of American Beauty, not American Pie. In American Beauty (1999), Kevin Spacey plays Lester Burnham, a disillusioned suburban father experiencing a midlife crisis. And yes, Lester is a strong example of involuntary psychological regression.Here's why:Involuntary Regression in Lester Burnham: • Reverting to an earlier identity: Lester tries to reclaim his youth by quitting his job, smoking weed, working out, and lusting after his teenage daughter's friend—behavior more typical of a reckless adolescent than a middle-aged man. • Coping with powerlessness: His regression is a reaction to feeling emasculated, bored, and trapped in a life devoid of meaning. Rather than confronting these feelings maturely, he slips into fantasy and impulsive behavior. • Midlife crisis as regression: His crisis is framed as a desperate escape into a glorified version of his past—when he felt freer, more desirable, and in control.So yes, Lester's arc is a textbook case of involuntary regression as a defense mechanism—attempting to avoid existential despair by fleeing into a younger, idealized version of himself.Would you like this broken down for podcast discussion or teaching notes?___________________________Regression and Mental HealthIn this episode, the hosts explore regression—psychological, social, and racial—and the importance of pivoting for personal growth.Topics Covered: • Psychological Regression: Understanding regression as a defense mechanism and the role of therapies like CBT in fostering positive change. • Personal Stories: Insights into self-sabotage, perfectionism, and strategies to overcome them. • Societal Regression: Discussion on racial regression in the U.S., including challenges to affirmative action and DEI initiatives. • Cultural Regression: Examination of individuals clinging to outdated roles, particularly in gang culture. • Popular Culture: Analysis of regression themes in films like American Beauty and commentary on celebrity cases. • Moving Forward: Emphasis on self-assessment, adaptability, and seeking support when needed.

In this episode, Lauren and Michelle get candid about grief and the emotional rollercoaster that was their post-Zanies show high. With the sixth anniversary of their dead mom's passing, they open up about how loss has shaped them as women.They also get into the headlines (because why not feel all the emotions at once?), reflect on the wild ride of their latest Zanies show, and debate whether a "new mom bonus" is a real gift or just society's way of saying “good luck, you're on your own.”It's heartfelt, it's hilarious, and yeah—there might be tears... but also some belly laughs. Because even in the darkest moments, there's healing in humor.Hot Topics: Adolescence (Netflix), death anniversary rituals, and An American Beauty.Resources:Ballet Flats for DinnerCozy Convo MerchCozy AF Candle LineSign Up For Our NewsletterThank you to our sponsors, Crescent Moon Therapy and Lemolade

For their 195th episode, two imposter film critics, two murderous dads, and two non-Italian school teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, stay in the monumental year of 1999 for one more week with another cornerstone film. Lapped at the time by the likes of "The Matrix," "American Beauty," "Magnolia," and "Fight Club," stands the late Anthony Minghella's salacious "The Talented Mr. Ripley" starring the early white-hot coals of Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Minghella's follow-up to his Oscar-winning "The English Patient," might have aged better than those previously mentioned 1999 bangers, and our guys are here to dote on its top-to-bottom lavishness.

It's Oscars week and also the 25th anniversary of American Beauty somehow winning Best Picture for the all-time movie year that was 1999. On this week's episode, Seth attempts to suffocate Sam Mendes's dark dramedy with its stupid floating plastic bag (with the help of Jason Baxter). We get into the protagonist being a wannabe pedophile, the script's horrendous scenes, the lack of comedic editing, bad improv scene-level acting, it's regressive nature despite thinking it's super edgy, stolen Austin Powers bits, how many 1999 films do elements of what it's failing at way, way, way better, and more.

1999 was a golden year for movies.That year saw the release of The Matrix, American Beauty, and Fight Club - which remain some of my all time favourites.The latter two are particular compelling as I look through my present-day lens and what they had to say about men & masculinity at the end of the millennium.Both American Beauty & Fight Club depict similar themes of (white) men grappling with middle-class consumerism and a lack of potency, trapped in a meaningless existence.In American Beauty, Lester Burnham opens the film by detailing his boring life - from the teenager who hates him, to his wife who doesn't respect him, and his cubicle dwelling job sucking his soul. The high point of his day is “jerking off in the shower.”Tyler Durden, the rebellious bad boy in Fight Club, tells the Narrator (who lives a similar flat-line as Lester):"Men have become mortgages, marriages, car payments, and fucking cable bills. We are the middle children of history, no purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War is a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives.”We could label Lester & the Narrator as living the archetype of The Domestic Man.What's fascinating for me is to observe how each of these men respond to their intolerable condition, and how that relates to the theme of “finding the Wild Man” that Robert Bly speaks about in the fairy tale of Iron John.In one of the teaching sessions I attended with Stephen Jenkinson, he asked us once: what is the most dangerous kind of animal?Some ventured to say “a wild animal.”He made the case that was untrue. For while a wild animal may be hazardous to humans, it is living connected to its nature and the pulse of life. A more dangerous creature that is often unpredictable and malevolent in its behaviour?The name for that is “feral” he told us.This is a creature that has failed to be domesticated.I think of this in the arc of Tyler Durden and The Narrator in Flight Club. What begins as an underground men's group, committed to living raw and alive again, morphs into a revolutionary cell (Project Mayhem) that attacks the data centres of credit card companies, aimed at liberating a new society.It remains somewhat ambiguous whether this actually happens or if it's a fantasy of the Narrator's psychosis.Now, while you may agree that predatory debt needs to be unshackled from humanity (as I do) you may have issues with the tactics. And it's clear the tone of the revolutionary effort becomes poisoned with toxic ideology.You could call this response 'feral'.For Lester Burnham in American Beauty, his inner fire is reawakened by an encounter with his daughter's teenage friend, a nymph-like cheerleader that becomes an inspiration for his salvation. (You might say she has taken on his anima projection - the erotic feminine in him he has suppressed).Suddenly, he finds the courage to quit is job, start lifting weights, smoke pot, and tell off his wife. He's a middle-aged man regressing back to his teen years to remember what it was like to actually enjoy life.Lester is aided by the young Buddha-like neighbour Ricky Fitts, who operates within society from a place of conscious non-attachment, preferring to film every moment of beauty that he comes across - including the infamous plastic bag dancing in the wind.In the scene where Ricky is watching the footage with his girlfriend, he says:"There's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once. And it's beautiful. […] It's like God wants me to notice it. To recognize all this beauty. Maybe it's the secret that the whole universe is trying to tell us. Something, we all know deep down but we all kind of forgot. And I don't know if my heart is gonna explode or what. But I'm grateful. I am so grateful.”The moment itself is a portal into wonder, for the characters and for the millions of viewers who saw the film.It certainly was for me, watching the film at 18 years old.Near the end of the film, Lester Burham awakens from the spell he had cast upon his daughter's girlfriend. She was not the Goddess incarnate, just an insecure young girl who was terrified of rejection. His character softens to her and he becomes more like a supportive Father.Lester realizes he has no one else to blame for his life. He had abandoned himself, convinced that it was someone else's job to “save him.”Robert A. Johnson would call this finally slaying his inner Mother Complex.Robert Bly might say, he has freed the Wild Man from the cage.It is now his task to cultivate his own connection to the primal erotic foundation of life.Today, many men find themselves in a similar predicament.Buried under mortgages, parenting, the daily grind of a job, lacking a deeper sense of direction & purpose.These days, it's “easier” then ever to get lost in addictions, distractions, and despair.And yet, there are a growing number of men willing to “seek the golden ball” that they lost long ago, and step up to the Wild Man's cage.With this in mind, my collaborator Deus and I have crafted a 3 month online journey: The Deep Masculine.This immersion brings together over a decade of exploration into mythopoetic maps, somatic skills, ritual rhythm, and the power of brotherhood - for men to awaken their primal birthright.The doors re-open March 14th.Today more than ever, we need men ablaze with courage, fiercely in love with life, and willing to bow in service to beauty.Onwards,Ianp.s.

En Cine de barra nos encanta el cine, pero también nos gusta desmontar mitos, y ese es el motivo de hablar sobre pelis sobrevaloradas. En este episodio, Plissken y Benalmadelman se han atrevido a poner en la diana algunas películas que, en nuestra humilde y cervecera opinión, están más infladas que el ego de Vin Diesel. Hemos hablado de La vida es bella, porque sí, es emotiva, pero si quieres llorar mejor córtate una cebolla. Belle Époque ganó un Oscar, pero… ¿alguien la recuerda realmente? El proyecto de la bruja de Blair nos enseñó que con una cámara temblorosa y mucho marketing se puede hacer historia. Luego está No es país para viejos, que más que un thriller parece una meditación sobre los malos cortes de pelo. Black Panther, no nos gustó… A ver, que sí, que representatividad y todo eso, pero la historia es una sucesión de tópicos reciclados, giros previsibles y momentos que parecen sacados de un manual de guion estándar de Hollywood. Un protagonista sin carisma, una trama política que no se sostiene y un conflicto resuelto de la forma más aburrida posible. Si esto es la revolución del cine de superhéroes, apaga y vámonos. Hable con ella y Todo sobre mi madre son el sello Almodóvar, pero con más premios que sustancia (que no falte el melodrama, claro). ¿Y qué me dices de En tierra hostil? ¿O Titanic, que nos vendió un romance imposible cuando claramente cabían los dos en la tabla? Avatar es azul y digital, sí, pero más vacía que una charla en Tinder. Mystic River y El gran Lebowski… bueno, Jeff Bridges mola, pero la peli no tanto. American Beauty nos intentó vender la bolsa de plástico como arte y Los otros… bueno, ya sabíamos todos que algo raro pasaba. Si quieres escuchar cómo desmontamos estos mitos con más humor que criterio, dale al play. Y recuerda: decir que una peli está sobrevalorada no es odio, es solo sentido común con una pizca de envidia cinematográfica.

Carl Anderson is a singer-songwriter from Virginia. His song swirls around like that plastic bag in the scene from American Beauty. A surprising unassuming clandestine charm that catches you unawares and then settles at your feet until the wind kicks up again. I have been a fan of his ever since we played a show together at the Bluebird in Nashville maybe like seven years ago. The way he sings is like no one else. You have to hear it for yourself (in this episode, you will).I'm so excited he's part of this show we're doing in a few weeks, at the Five Spot in East Nashville. Saturday February 15th. Carl is sharing some music, as is next week's guest, Abby Jane. Then I'll play a set with my new band, and then we're going to screen a world-premiere of the music video for my new song Meet Me at the End of the World, directed by MCP alum Mila Vilaplana. Throughout, Ryan Rado, who was on the pod a few weeks ago, is doing some live immersive painting. It's gonna be a great night and I'm very excited. If you live in Nashville here is a link for tickets.I've started making a new effort here on the podcast, which is to insert chapters into the YouTube video. For you it makes it easier to see the contours and compartments of the conversation (see below). For me it requires I listen back through the entire talk, which makes me reflect on what we discussed and whether it was worth it. So I know what I'm saying when I say this was a truly insightful and dare I say FUN conversation with a person for whom art's calling occupies a central position. Carl is serious about songmaking and unserious about its purpose. That is to say he holds the sacred cows lightly in his hand and only pets them when they ask. I am reminded that so much of the value in any conversation lay in its style, and not just its substance.We play a song together, his original, Separate Ways. Listen to the way he sings.Carl talks about what got him started on the creative path, his love for dancing, the pleasure of watching bad acting, Bob Dylan as the original troll, his in-and-out habit of fitness and its relationship to creativity, the strange and healthy beauty of having a job outside the industry.I share a little as well. What happened when I moved to Nashville twenty years ago. Why I burst into tears last week on my couch watching Fred Again's Tiny Desk Concert. How being yourself gives everyone else permission to be themselves too.Carl Anderson is a real one of one. I hope this conversation makes you want to finish the song you're working on.
