This week on Better Than Average, we dive into a review of American Beauty and try to answer the question: does it still deserve its reputation as one of the greatest films ever made, or has time changed the way we see it?We also celebrate a huge milestone as Circle of Vigour BJJ turns one year old. We look back at everything that's been achieved, the community that's been built, and what the future holds for the club, starting with the big one year birthday celebration. Throw in the usual BJJ chat, a few questionable takes, and the inevitable tangents, and you've got another classic episode.As always, it's grappling, movies, and the usual chaos… and as always, it's Better Than Average.

Spouting Off with Karen Kataline COVID Reckoning, American Beauty, and the Fight to Reclaim Health, Culture, and Truth Spouting Off Through Uncensored Debate In this episode of Spouting Off, host Karen Kataline frames the program around free speech, uncensored ideas, debate, and the importance of challenging official narratives. Filling in on The Alan Nathan Show format, she moves through three major conversations: the aftermath of COVID policy with John Leake, the defense of American culture with Michael Finch, and questions about women's health, pharmaceuticals, and informed consent with Jennifer Galardi. The episode is strongly opinion-driven and rooted in Karen's concerns about liberty, censorship, government power, public health policy, and cultural decline. John Leake on COVID, Fear, and Global Lockstep Karen's first guest, John Leake, discusses his work with Dr. Peter McCullough, including The Courage to Face COVID-19 and their newer book Vaccines, Mythology, Ideology, and Reality. Karen and Leake revisit the trauma of COVID lockdowns, mandates, masking, and public fear, with Leake arguing that Western nations appeared to move in unusual lockstep during the crisis. He compares the public-health response to a psychological operation, citing isolation, division, fear, and hypervigilance as tools that shaped public behavior. Karen adds that many people still carry emotional and behavioral imprints from that period. Vaccine Mythology and the Question of Trust In the second part of the Leake interview, Karen turns to vaccines and asks why vaccine policy has become such a political dividing line. Leake discusses the early history of smallpox variolation in Boston in 1721, arguing that the vaccine enterprise has often relied not only on science but also on belief, ideology, and public faith. He says some vaccines may provide protection for some people in some cases, but rejects the idea that every vaccine is automatically safe, effective, or appropriate for everyone. Karen also raises concerns about mandates, monkeypox policy in California, accountability, and what she sees as unresolved public anger over COVID-era decisions. Michael Finch and the Defense of American Beauty Karen's next guest, Michael Finch, president of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, discusses his book A Time to Stand: A Dire Hour to Defend American Beauty. Finch argues that American culture is rich, distinctive, and beautiful, but no longer adequately taught in schools. He points to American art, architecture, literature, poetry, national parks, and figures such as Mark Twain, Willa Cather, Walt Whitman, Thomas Cole, and Albert Bierstadt as examples of a cultural inheritance worth preserving. Karen connects this discussion to current ideological attacks on monuments, symbols, football, awards shows, and other traditional expressions of American identity. Remembering America's Cultural Inheritance Finch emphasizes that defending America requires more than teaching the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, or Federalist Papers; it also requires recovering the beauty of American culture itself. He encourages listeners to visit national parks, study American paintings, read American writers, and look closely at the classical architecture of Washington, D.C. He also praises Donald Trump's efforts to promote beautiful federal buildings and challenge ideological influence in museums such as the Smithsonian. Karen agrees that while many people have been taught to dismiss American culture, the country's deeper inheritance is not yet lost. Jennifer Galardi on the Pill, Pharma, and Informed Consent The final guest, Jennifer Galardi of the Heritage Foundation, discusses an op-ed she co-authored titled “RFK Should Grill the Pill,” focused on oral contraceptives and women's health. Galardi argues that the birth control pill is often handed out too casually for issues such as acne, cycle problems, or endometriosis, without enough discussion of possible side effects or long-term health consequences. She says the point is not to ban the pill, but to demand better research, informed consent, and honesty about risks. Karen connects the issue to broader concerns about pharmaceutical advertising, media dependence on drug-company money, and public distrust after COVID. Science, Capture, and the Need to Ask Questions Karen and Galardi close by discussing what they describe as the weaponization of science, corporate capture, conflicts of interest, and the difficulty of questioning medical or pharmaceutical narratives without being dismissed. Galardi says COVID changed the public conversation by exposing conflicts of interest and allowing previously silenced voices to reenter positions of influence. Karen raises concerns about injectables, drug advertising, and a cultural environment that increasingly normalizes pharmaceutical solutions. The episode ends with Karen thanking the guests and returning to the broader theme of asking difficult questions in defense of freedom, health, culture, and truth.

The Deadcast explores Steal Your Face's iconic artwork & visits the Grateful Dead's June 1976 return to the road, including a tour of the Dead Head culture that bloomed in their absence.Guests: Richard Loren, John Scher, Ron Rakow, Eugene Dolgoff, Pat Lee, Johnny Dwork, Dave Davis, Rob Bleetstein, John Brackett, Starfinder Stanley, David LemieuxSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A young biotech worker is found dead in his La Jolla apartment, his body carefully laid out on a bed sprinkled with rose petals and framed by a wedding photo. His wife—an ambitious county toxicologist with access to some of the most powerful drugs in the world—tells police it was suicide. Investigators aren't so sure. In this episode, we unpack the chilling “American Beauty” murder of Gregory de Villers and the calculated actions of his wife, Kristin Rossum. We trace their relationship from whirlwind romance to toxic spiral, exploring Kristin's hidden meth addiction, her affair with a supervisor at the medical examiner's office, and the missing fentanyl that would become the centerpiece of a murder trial. You'll hear how forensic toxicology transformed a suspicious overdose into a first-degree murder case, why prosecutors called fentanyl “the perfect poison,” and how a crime scene staged to look cinematic instead exposed a killer who thought she was smarter than the system. We also dive into the courtroom drama, the life sentence, the multimillion-dollar civil judgment, and the lasting questions this case raises about trust, power, and access inside forensic labs. If you're drawn to evidence-driven true crime, complex relationship dynamics, and the intersection of science and deception, this deep dive into the rose petal murder will stay with you long after the episode ends.

Any Given Sunday Review | Born to Watch PodcastOur Any Given Sunday Review takes the Born to Watch boys back to 1999 for Oliver Stone's chaotic, testosterone-fuelled dive into the world of professional football. Featuring Al Pacino, Jamie Foxx, Dennis Quaid and peak Cameron Diaz, Any Given Sunday promised everything a sports movie fan could want. But does it still hold up, or is this one all style and no substance?Whitey, Dan and special guest Will strap on the shoulder pads and revisit Oliver Stone's divisive NFL epic. What starts as a love letter to sports movies quickly turns into an examination of shaky cameras, over-the-top editing, giant egos and one of the most exhausting viewing experiences the boys have tackled in a while.Al Pacino brings his trademark intensity as veteran coach Tony D'Amato, desperately trying to hold together the Miami Sharks while battling a ruthless owner, rebellious players and a rapidly changing game. Jamie Foxx bursts onto the scene as Willie Beamen, the backup quarterback who suddenly becomes a superstar, while Dennis Quaid delivers a solid performance as ageing veteran Cap Rooney.Along the way, the boys discuss why Oliver Stone seems determined to assault your eyeballs with every editing trick imaginable. From subliminal gladiator imagery to frantic camera work and changing film stock, Whitey wonders whether the movie is trying too hard to be profound. Dan compares it to Natural Born Killers and argues that Stone's style overwhelms the actual story.The conversation naturally branches out into memories of 1999, drunken phone calls, encounters with Elizabeth Berkley, backup quarterbacks becoming heroes, and whether there is a more pressure-filled position in sport than an NFL quarterback.There's also plenty of appreciation for the stacked cast. James Woods shines as the dodgy doctor, LL Cool J delivers one of the biggest dickheads in sports movie history, and Lawrence Taylor proves real athletes can occasionally act. Meanwhile, Cameron Diaz splits the room, with Whitey refusing to give prime Diaz a quickfire vote despite the objections of everyone else.As always, the boys go deep into the IMDb ratings, box office numbers and critical reviews before throwing around comparisons to Varsity Blues, Office Space, American Beauty and other classics from the legendary year of 1999.But the biggest question remains. Is Any Given Sunday a genuine sports classic, or is it simply a two-and-a-half-hour migraine wrapped in slow motion and Kid Rock?One thing is certain. Whether they're discussing football strategy, Oliver Stone's obsession with gladiators or the horrors of professional athlete fashion, Whitey, Dan and Will once again prove that no movie is safe when it lands on Born to Watch.Join the TeamLove movies? Love ridiculous debates? Join the Born to Watch community and become part of the conversation. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and follow us on social media for new episodes, movie polls and plenty of laughs. Because at Born to Watch, we don't take movies or ourselves too seriously.#BornToWatch #AnyGivenSunday #OliverStone #AlPacino #JamieFoxx #DennisQuaid #SportsMovies #MoviePodcast #FilmReview #NFLMovies

Phil and Emily are joined by actress Fiona Dourif to launch a brand new mini-series, Richard Kelly Reichardt, with the cult classic that started a thousand dorm-room arguments: Donnie Darko (2001).Richard Kelly's debut premiered at Sundance, opened the same day the Patriot Act was signed into law, and promptly bombed in theaters before Drew Barrymore's Flower Films, a $4.5 million budget, and a generation of video-store rentals turned it into a phenomenon. The gang digs into why it became the movie every college bro swore was a misunderstood masterpiece, and whether it actually holds up a quarter century later.They get into the big stuff: the tall bunny named Frank, the pocket-universe time-loop mechanics, and that gut-punch ending where Donnie chooses to sacrifice himself. Emily, who has seen this more times than almost any movie in her life, untangles Kelly's "ironclad" explanation, why she prefers the simpler emotional read, and why the director's cut overexplains everything. Fiona connects it to American Beauty and Magnolia, the search for God after religion, and her own time-bending turn in Christopher Nolan's Tenet. And the whole table takes on modern film-discussion culture's obsession with mapping every rule instead of just living inside a story that doesn't quite make sense.Plus: baby Noah Wyle, the most unhinged high-school teacher ever written, and a stacked early-2000s cast that keeps making you hit pause. Does Donnie Darko hold up, or did it age like the 25-year-old screenwriter dialogue it's built on?

Message Dan and MikeWe finally got Dan in front of Cool Hand Luke for the first time, and this one did not disappoint. The 1967 Stuart Rosenberg film stars Paul Newman as Lucas Jackson — a decorated, easygoing war veteran who ends up on a Florida chain gang and absolutely refuses to be broken. It's a simple premise with a whole lot going on underneath it.We dig into what makes the film work, starting with Paul Newman's performance, which is somehow both understated and completely magnetic. George Kennedy won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Dragline — and we get into the wild behind-the-scenes story of how he paid $5,000 out of pocket to a consulting firm just to get his name in front of Oscar voters. It worked. His only Oscar, but it paid dividends for the rest of his career.We also talk about Strother Martin as Captain and Morgan Woodward as Boss Godfrey — a character who says nothing the entire film and still manages to be one of the most menacing screen villains either of us has seen. The supporting cast is stacked with actors who weren't famous yet: Dennis Hopper, Harry Dean Stanton, and a young Rance Howard (Ron Howard's father) all make appearances.The conversation covers the film's obvious spiritual imagery — the crucifixion pose after the egg-eating scene, the cross-shaped road in the final aerial shot, the Christ-like arc of Luke's story. We also trace the film's clear influence on what came after it: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, First Blood, The Shawshank Redemption — you can draw a straight line from Cool Hand Luke to all of them.On the craft side, the cinematography by Conrad Hall is remarkable — this is the same DP who later won Oscars for Road to Perdition and American Beauty. And Lalo Schifrin's score, which became so ubiquitous it ended up as the theme for ABC Nightly News, gets its due as well.100% on Rotten Tomatoes. 92 Metacritic. In the Library of Congress.

Glengarry Glen Ross is a drama film about real estate salesmen. It doesn't sound that interesting. However, when it's written by David Mamet (The Postman Always Rings Twice, The Untouchables, American Buffalo), directed by James Foley (Fear, Who's That Girl, At Close Range) and starring Jack Lemmon (Some Like It Hot, The Apartment, The China Syndrome), Alec Baldwin (Beetlejuice, The Hunt For Red October, The Boss Baby), Ed Harris (The Truman Show, The Abyss, The Rock), Alan Arkin (Little Miss Sunshine, Edward Scissorhands, Fire Sale), Kevin Spacey (The Usual Suspects, American Beauty, L.A. Confidential), Jonathan Pryce (Brazil, Evita, The Age of Innocence) and Al Pacino (Serpico, The Godfather, Dick Tracy), then it is anything but boring.British film critic Tom Beasley joins the podcast to discuss this 1992 film. Tom talks about his love of swearing in it, how each actor knows when to step aside for another actor to have their moment and why Pacino's performance is so full-on. He also talks about why it is a terrible title for a film.All About Al: The Pacino Podcast is written, produced and presented by Mark Searby. Hosted on Acast.

Welcome back to Truckin' Through Time, our six-part chronological journey through the history, music, and mythology of the Grateful Dead. In this episode, we are pulling up to what many heads consider sacred territory: 1970 to 1974.We look at the massive pivot where the band traded psychedelic feedback loops for acoustic guitars and timeless American myths. This is the era where the Grateful Dead stopped being just a local San Francisco trip and started inventing the road as they drove it.In this episode, we're talking:The Americana Blueprint: How the band dropped Workingman's Dead and American Beauty in the same calendar year and redefined their entire identity.The Keith & Donna Transition: Shifting to a leaner, jazzier, single-drummer lineup after Mickey's departure, and the arrival of the Godchauxs.Saying Goodbye to Pigpen: The heartbreak of losing the band's original soul, and how they found the strength to keep moving forward.Europe '72 Mythology: Why this legendary tour remains the gold standard for live improvisation.Going Independent: The chaotic birth of Grateful Dead Records and the sonic ambition behind Wake of the Flood.The Wall of Sound: The 75-ton, 600-speaker, bank-account-crushing monster of a PA system that defined 1974 before the band finally called a "hiatus."Connect with Tales From The Lot:Follow us on your favorite podcast app so you don't miss Part 3 (1975–1979).Got a story from the lot?

Send us Fan MailTHE BODYGUARD TGTPTU's first set of four Hack 4x4s concludes this week with THE BODYGUARD (1992), director Mick Jackson's sleeper hit starring peak Kevin Costner and top shelf Whitney Houston.  Allegedly offered to Jackson the day after the L.A. Story premiere, the plot of The Bodyguard is bigger than you remember or would expect, so if you haven't seen it or not in a while, do so. Just know the script started with JFK's assassination as a Steve McQueen + Diana Ross vehicle and, after 67 rejections over 2 years, went through 12 rewrites by Lawrence Kasdan until it landed with Kostner who wanted Whitney Houston and Kasdan wanted out of directing. Hence, Jackson steps in as premium hack. It would become the second highest grossing film of 1992.  This ep, Jack stays scarce, Andi returns bringing Dolly Pardon facts, Ken reminds us Costner would later direct The Postman, Ryan flexes his family's wealth, and Gen Z Thomas reveals a dark secret of how unamerican (or age-appropriate) his cartoon movie habits are having not seen a single Peanuts movie (NOTE: content may be edited or become exclusive behind the paywall) or 1999's Oscar-sweeping American Beauty.   Mick Jackson, if we should stay, we'd only be in your way. So we'll go, but you know, we'll think of you every step of the way…  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

Sam Mendes nos trajo con AMERICAN BEAUTY una historia atípica de una familia americana modélica, normal y decente, para luego enseñarnos la auténtica realidad: que todo el mundo es imperfecto, desagradable y falso por naturaleza. Desde un padre, interpretado por Kevin Spacey, que se cuela por una compañera del cole de su hija y, tras una crisis de los cuarenta años de manual, manda todo el orden de su vida gris y aburrida al carajo, empezando de cero como un adolescente, hasta una esposa perfecta que descubre en una infidelidad una nueva llama interior y una hija inadaptada que encuentra su media naranja en un vecino bicho raro. Todo ello contado con honestidad, sin tapujos, con humor e ironía, pero también con una cruda fisicidad y con una poesía de lo cotidiano que normalmente no suele verse. Hoy, junto a Antonio Monfort, Coronel Kurtz y Antonio Runa, analizamos una película con una producción apasionante y varios exámenes de sus tramas que darán para un audio bastante profundo.

Zapis dyskusji z pokazu filmu "American Beauty" (1999) Sama Mendesa, jaka odbyła się w ramach Klubu Filmowego REPLAY! w dniu 5 marca 2026 w katowickim Kinie Światowid.

Storytellers often try to use shame to enforce a message—but doing so quietly destroys character arc. In this episode, Zena Dell Lowe explains why shame collapses characters into moral verdicts and turns storytelling into propaganda instead of discovery.What's the difference between guilt, shame, and conviction, and why does that difference matter for writers, filmmakers, and culture itself?For writers, filmmakers, and storytellers, the misuse of shame collapses characters into verdicts instead of people. When a story tells the audience who is morally acceptable and who is not, character complexity disappears and true transformation becomes impossible.In this episode you'll discover:• The critical difference between guilt, shame, and conviction • Why shame drains human agency and moral clarity • How shame is used as a tool of cultural control • Why many modern films feel ideological instead of human • The storytelling difference between theme and propaganda • How writers accidentally destroy character arc • Why dignity—not shame—is required for transformationWe'll also examine how films like Don't Look Up, Milk, Boys Don't Cry, American Beauty, the classic It's a Wonderful Life, and the series Downton Abbey reveal the tension between human storytelling and ideological messaging.For storytellers, this raises an urgent question:Are we inviting audiences into discovery… or coercing them into agreement?Because the moment shame replaces persuasion, storytelling stops being exploration and starts becoming propaganda.And when that happens, character arc dies.If you care about great storytelling, meaningful character development, and cultural honesty, this episode is for you.About The Storyteller's Mission The Storyteller's Mission helps writers craft stories grounded in truth, meaning, and moral clarity — stories that shape culture rather than merely reflect it.Keywords / Topics Coveredstorytelling craft, character arc, shame vs guilt, conviction and repentance, narrative psychology, propaganda in film, ideological storytelling, writing better characters, moral complexity in storytelling, story theme vs propaganda, storytelling philosophy, film analysis, writing advice for authors, screenwriting craft, storytelling and culture.Free Resources for Writers:Seven Deadly Plot Points FREE TRAINING VIDEO Free Video Tutorial for ScreenwritingSign up for The Storyteller's Digest, my exclusive bi-monthly newsletter for writers and storytellers.

Send Kevin a Text MessageIn this episode of Don't Kill the Messenger, host Kevin Goetz welcomes Bob Cooper, the influential executive who helped transform HBO from a movie channel into a creative powerhouse, producing landmark films like The Josephine Baker Story and Barbarians at the Gate, and who later shaped the theatrical landscape as President of Tri-Star Pictures and head of development and production at Dreamworks, where he championed American Beauty. From prosecuting organized crime in Montreal to greenlighting American Beauty, Bob's career is a lesson in reinvention and risk-taking.Finding Your "And" (00:28): Bob traces his winding path from studying acting at the Pasadena Playhouse to law school to founding Canada's first storefront legal aid office to prosecuting organized crime to hosting a national investigative news program.The Birth of HBO Originals (14:47): When his early Canadian film production company collapsed, Bob flew to New York in desperation and pitched HBO on making original movies, starting with The Terry Fox Story.No Vanilla Allowed (19:34): Bob developed a strategy of bold, true-story-based films that couldn't be seen in theaters or on network TV. The Josephine Baker Story became the blueprint.The Projects Nobody Wanted (22:29): Bob consistently bet on the projects others passed on, championing films like And the Band Played On, Barbarians at the Gate, and The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom.Tristar and Jerry Maguire (28:26): Bob shares how he helped crack the marketing code on Jerry Maguire by identifying its core theme as "a comedy about not selling out.”Dreamworks and American Beauty (37:22): At Dreamworks, Bob got Steven Spielberg to read a script that was almost impossible to pitch – American Beauty. Spielberg read it overnight, called a meeting the next morning, and immediately declared it "an Academy movie."Meet the Parents and the Spielberg Phone Call (41:25): Bob spotted an unmade script at Universal called Meet the Parents and brought it to Spielberg, who simply picked up the phone and called Edgar Bronfman on the spot to acquire it.What Makes Stories Universal (47:15): Bob shares his deepest creative philosophy: that pain is the engine of every great story, including comedy. He closes with a moving account of his current stage project about Bobby Kennedy.Bob Cooper's career is a reminder that unconventional paths often lead to the most enduring work.

I've welcomed many actors I admire to Collider Ladies Night, but Thora Birch feels different. I grew up watching her. All I Want for Christmas, Hocus Pocus, Monkey Trouble, Now and Then — they all played on repeat in my home. From there, I followed her to the roles that earned her significant industry acclaim, a BAFTA nomination for American Beauty and a Golden Globe nomination for Ghost World.Since then, Birch has appeared on The Walking Dead and Mayfair Witches, made her directorial debut with The Gabby Petito Story, and now continues to make bold career choices, joining Kristen Stewart's feature directorial debut, The Chronology of Water.Based on Lidia Yuknavitch's acclaimed memoir, the film follows Imogen Poots as Lidia, a young woman who finds escape from her abusive home thanks to competitive swimming. However, that safe haven is rocked when she runs head first into a dizzying string of loss, addiction, and self-destructive choices before finding healing via her sister (played by Birch) and also through writing.With The Chronology of Water gearing up for its nationwide release, Birch visited the Collider Ladies Night studio to discuss her journey in film and television, beginning with early formative experiences on sets like Hocus Pocus and Patriot Games.

PLEASE SIGN UP ON PATREON, EVEN IF IT'S FOR FREE! Posting everything here has become a burden, and if you're only listening to this feed you probably aren't getting all of the episodes. Sign up now at Patreon. It’s two podcasts (Pod Yourself and the Frotcast) for the price of one! Patreon dot com slash frotcast! This is just a teaser, but you can hear the full episode by signing up on Patreon.  This week, Matt is unhappily parenting, or maybe just looking for parking, in Sedona, Arizona, and Brendan is fixing an exploding pool pump, but that’s no reason to fret, because we’re ringing in the year with Sean Keane, from the Roundball Rock podcast and soon to be playing Cobb’s Comedy Club this January 7th in San Francisco. We’re discussing New Year’s Eve, and how it’s by far the most overrated holiday, but also mourning the death of a true poster, Mike Fossey, aka Mike F, by reading a few of his greatest posts. Then we mourn our dead The Wire actors, Ziggy and Clay Davis, and I tell the story of my one Isiah Whitlock Jr. encounter, which Matt rudely interrupts to call in from Sedona, Arizona while he’s in the middle of pooping. He tells us all about the crystal vortex and why he hates vacation parenting and thinks everyone in Sedona is actually on drugs. After that, we discuss Gwyneth Paltrow’s journey from actress to Goop CEO and back to actress again (Sean read a book!), and since it’s year-end list season, we review the one awards season film that Sean has seen, which happens to be Jay Kelly. Didja ever notice that Jay Kelly would’ve been much better if it had been about Adam Sandler’s character? Have you seen this? Have you heard about this? That leads into a bunch of related discussions, about American Beauty, Ben Affleck’s greatest roles and how well he lays pipe. And also Is This Thing On? and movies about stand-up comedy just generally. The regular Frot boys will be back next week, but in the meantime hope you like Sean and I just bullshitting about movies for a while. As always, no refunds.

Happy New Year! In our close out to this year, we talk about the best of Green and Red in 2025, those people that impacted us that we lost and the only real American beaut right now... resistance to Trump and the billionaire agenda.

A year before American Beauty offered its Oscar-ready glimpse beneath the placid surface of suburbia, Todd Solondz offered a truly unsparing depiction of same with HAPPINESS (1998).
