Podcasts about American Gangster

Al Capone, a name that still echoes through the annals of American crime history, was one of the most notorious gangsters of all time. Born in 1899 to Italian immigrant parents in Brooklyn, New York, Alphonse Gabriel Capone rose from humble beginnings to become the kingpin of organised crime in Chicago during the Prohibition era. Known for his charismatic personality and ruthless tactics, Capone built an empire based on bootlegging, prostitution, and gambling. He cultivated a Robin Hood-like image, opening soup kitchens during the Great Depression while simultaneously orchestrating brutal acts of violence and murder against rival gangs. This was Capone's Chicago—a city where every shadow held a secret, every handshake could be a deal with the devil, and at the centre of it all, pulling the strings, stood the undisputed king of America's criminal underworld.His story continues to serve as a powerful reminder of the consequences of the misuse of power.

Frank Lucas experiences a rough ride in the second half of the 1980s, and he hits rock bottom in the early 1990s. But when he is at his lowest point, one of his brothers throws him a lifeline. Frank finally leaves the heroin business, but he still struggles in the legitimate world… until he achieves worldwide fame as the subject of the Hollywood film “American Gangster,” though the movie stirs up nearly as much controversy as it does money at the box office.

Podcast: Ant Diggity's Road to VictoryEpisode Title: The Only Way Through Is ThroughFrom 135th & Broadway to 72nd Street and back again, this episode is a moving meditation through New York City — and through the mind of a man rebuilding himself.While walking uptown and downtown listening to American Gangster by Jay-Z, Ant wrestles with discipline, desire, comfort, fear, purpose, and what it really takes to change your life.This isn't a polished speech. It's real-time reflection.He unpacks:• Fighting the urge to stay home when growth requires movement• Why comfort and discomfort can both become addictions• Discipline in a hyper-sexualized culture• The influence of environment on marriage, temptation, and identity• Self-doubt before action — and clarity after motion• Rejection, confidence, and learning to be brave• Why some journeys must be walked aloneFrom awkward sidewalk moments to deep questions about purpose, this episode reminds us that transformation doesn't happen in theory.It happens in motion.If you're stuck, tempted, doubting yourself, or negotiating with comfort — this is your reminder:You don't go around fear.You don't wait for perfect conditions.The only way through…is through.

Er brachte uns das ALIEN, den BLADE RUNNER und mit GLADIATOR den Sandalenfilm zurück ins Kino. Jetzt ist Sir Ridley Scott 88 Jahre alt geworden und das nehmen Andi, Wolf und Schröck zum Anlass einmal auf das Werk des Mannes zu blicken, um eine hauseigene Bestenliste zu erstellen. Also gehts von ALIEN - DAS UNHEIMLICHE WESEN AUS EINER FREMDEN WELT, BLADE RUNNER und GLADIATOR einmal durch die gesamte Vita des Briten, um zu erörtern, welcher der insgesamt 27 anderen Filme noch auf die Liste gehören. Und dann auch an welchen Platz. Gefolgt von mal längeren, mal kürzeren Plaudereien zu KÖNIGREICH DER HIMMEL, zu der Screentime von Brad Pitt in THELMA & LOUISE, um die Vorderzähne von Tom Cruise in LEGENDE, den Humor in DER MARSIANER, die Action und das Star-Aufgebot in BLACK HAWK DOWN, den Style von BLACK RAIN, den Wiederschauwert von AMERICAN GANGSTER, die unterschätzte Klasse von THE LAST DUEL und um ALIEN COVENANT, ah, ne doch PROMETHEUS – DUNKLE ZEICHEN. Nur bei HANNIBAL entstehen ein paar Fragezeichen, auch bei denjenigen, die ihn in ihre privaten Listen mit aufgenommen haben. Darüber hinaus soll es aber auch um ein paar Highlights aus dem Jahre 2025 von Wolf und Andi gehen, was kürzere Infos zu STROMBERG - ALLES WIEDER WIE IMMER, ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER; BRING HER BACK, EDDINGTON oder WEAPONS zur Folge hat. Komplettiert durch einen kurzen Talk zum NETFLIX-WARNER-Deal, den die Drei allerdings vor der Nachricht geführt haben, dass das Studio nun endgültig für rund 82 Milliarden Dollar an den Streaminganbieter verkauft wurde. Dabei wünschen wir Euch nun viel Spaß und noch ein schönes Wochenende. Bleibt so gesund wie gut drauf und auf Wiedersehen. Rocket Beans wird unterstützt von fritz-kola.

American Gangster (2007) is Ridley Scott's homage to The French Connection: it's got the right cars, clothes, and colors and is based on another true story of an obsessed cop trying to take down a drug kingpin. The feature (or the bug, depending on how you look at it) is Denzel Washington in the title role. Is an actor so charismatic that everyone talks as if they are on a first-name basis with him actually a liability in a movie that wants to tell a story of a large-scale heroin dealer who, in the movie's first scene, burns a man alive? Can an actor's star power ever backfire? John McCarty's Bullets Over Hollywood (Grand Central Publishing, 2005) traces the gangster film and explores the enduring appeal of the genre.

Robert was born in Coney Island, Brooklyn New York. He began his professional acting career in 2000 on the HBO hit show THE SOPRANOS where he played Eugene Pontecorvo. He appeared on the Sopranos for 3 Seasons and it culminated in his breakout performance in "Members Only" in which won an Emmy Award for Best Dramatic Episode in 2006. New York native Funaro is known worldwide for portraying mobster Eugene Pontecorvo in HBO's critically acclaimed series The Sopranos and several other familiar characters from television shows and movies (The Irishman, American Gangster, Ray Donovan, Law & Order, etc.) However, behind the wiseguy we see on screen is the boy from Coney Island-friend, family man, director, and chef! He's guest starred in many Law & Order episodes, "The Sinner" with Jessica Biel as her father in law Ron Tannetti. Martin Scorcese's "Vinyl" and a regular on Ray Donovan. His films include, American Gangster-Not Fade Away-The Irishman and multiple independent films-such as Charlie Mantle and Critical Acclaim. Homemade 8 Soprano Stories and 8 Homemade Recipes is his first attempt at writing a book about his life on THE SOPRANOS and also carrying on the legacy of his Mama Anna Funaro's great families cooking ideas. Including his Dad-Vincent, Sister Anne, and Linda. He is always forever thankful to God and his family for their love and support. In this tasteful narrative, Robert talks about his long-time friendship with James Gandolfini (Tony Soprano) and how James helped him become a cast member of The Sopranos. Highlighting 8 of his favorite episodes featuring Eugene, Robert gives us a behind-the-scenes look into the greatest television show in history with entertaining personal stories and interactions with fellow actors. To top it off, Robert shares his favorite signature recipes. He passionately believes food brings everyone together–and there is no better place for a man to feel fulfilled than in the comfort of his kitchen! So, turn up the stove, tie on the apron, and get ready to Cucinare and Mangia!!

Today on another brand new episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we bring you part one of two episodes with Rodd Bland, son of the genius blues, soul, gospel & rhythm & blues singer Bobby “Blue” Bland. Best friends with B.B. King, & called the Frank Sinatra of the Blues – Bobby has more inductions into more museums and Hall of Fame's than an Amana Radar Range. Known for his soulful voice and his signature phrasing, Bobby was truly one of the greats. He also was also known for a guttural sound he made while singing that we get into on this episode. What started as a cue from a preacher became a sound that the ladies loved. No one did it like Bobby. Our conversation with Rodd dovetailed into many topics, including musicians such as ZZ Top to Pearl Jam, Taylor Hawkins to Jay-Z who were all influenced by “Blue.” We also talk about his father's late career resurgence thanks to films and television. From Spiderman the Animated Movie, to The Lincoln Lawyer and American Gangster, all roads seemed to lead back to “Blue”'s tunes in trailers, opening scenes in films and the like. Rodd tells us a rather touching story about when his father first heard one of his songs in a film that left us misty eyed. Along the way, we discuss what it was like touring in the Chitlin' Circuit, we touch on – albeit briefly – Don Robey and the Duke / Peacock years at the beginning of his career and a little known fact about Bobby that perhaps makes this episode an unleavened experience with a singer nicknamed as Sonny Boy that even Rodd didn't know. We had to call his mom to confirm it and she pretty much did. So sit back, take a listen to this episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast with Rodd Bland discussing everything from “Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City,” and “Further Up The Road” “Cry, Cry, Cry” & “I Pity The Fool.” But not, “Member's Only.” That one we saved for our Patreon page where we hear an exclusive, bonus episode, you won't hear anywhere else. Another child of a celebrity, interviewed by a child of a celebrity. Everyone has a story.  

Ever hated your ops so bad you considered arson? Or flipped a whole trafficking scheme into a “legit” business? Sounds like y'all been watching American Gangster… but clearly skipped over American Greed.

Derrière l'icône, le bourreau. Fêtes privées sous contrôle, viols ritualisés, humiliations filmées, compromissions archivées, P. Diddy a transformé son label en une véritable machine à broyer les corps et les volontés. Dans cet épisode, Gaël et Geoffroy plongent dans l'univers glaçant d'un magnat du hip-hop protégé par des policiers corrompus et des élus complices. De la naissance de Bad Boy Records aux soirées “Freak-Offs”, ils décryptent les rouages d'un empire fondé sur la peur, le sexe et le silence et révèlent comment le rap est devenu un levier d'influence politique, où la rébellion se vend et l'impunité s'achète.

Send us a textEpisode 540"Godfather of Harlem" Actor: Rome Flynn | (Frank Lucas)Outside of being named MVP of the 2025 NBA All Star Celebrity Game, Rome Flynn is a terrific actor. Rome Flynn, known for his roles in "How to Get Away With Murder" and "With Love," joins the cast of "Godfather of Harlem" for season 4. He portrays the young Frank Lucas, a real-life gangster who becomes the right-hand man of Forest Whitaker's character, Bumpy Johnson.  Season 4 delves into Lucas's early years, exploring his arrival in Harlem and his initial interactions with Bumpy Johnson. While Denzel Washington portrayed Lucas in the film "American Gangster," "Godfather of Harlem" offers a different perspective, focusing on the period before Lucas's rise to prominence.  The series, inspired by the life of crime boss Bumpy Johnson, follows his attempts to regain control of Harlem after being released from prison.

Mr. Untouchable, a 2007 documentary directed by Marc Levin, describes the rise and fall of former New York City drug kingpin, Leroy (“Nicky”) Barnes. In the early 1970s, Barnes formed “The Council,” an organized crime syndicate that controlled a significant part of the heroin trade in Harlem. Inspired by the Italian-American mafia, Barnes became one of the most powerful and notorious figures in New York City. A flashy and flamboyant fixture on the free-wheeling social scene of the period, Barnes quickly drew the attention of law enforcement. After several unsuccessful state prosecution attempts, Barnes, along with multiple other associates, was indicted by federal prosecutors in New York in 1977. Barnes was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. Barnes, however, was released in 1998, in exchange for working as a government informant, and entered the Witness Protection Program, where he remained until his death in 2012.  Barnes was also depicted in Ridley Scott's 2007 film American Gangster, which starred Denzel Washington as Frank Lucas, another notorious drug kingpin from the era. Cuba Gooding Jr. portrayed Barnes in that film. Joining me to talk about Mr. Untouchable and the Nicky Barnes case is Robert B. Fiske, Jr., Senior Counsel at Davis Polk in New York, where he previously served as litigation partner for many years. Bob Fiske is one of the most prominent and respected trial lawyers in America. He has been involved in some of the most notable cases of the last half-century, including as special prosecutor in the Whitewater controversy and the death of White House counsel Vince Foster, the Three Mile Island nuclear disaster, the antitrust suit between the USFL and. NFL, the most contentious America's Cup ever, and the financial swindler Bernie Madoff.  Mr. Fiske also served as the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York from 1976 to 1980, during which time he led the prosecution of Nicky Barnes. Timestamps:0:00   Introduction3:18     Drug trafficking in Harlem and the South Bronx in the 1970s4:55    Who was Nicky Barnes6:27     Trying to bring Barnes to justice7:57      “Mr. Untouchable” and a call from Attorney General Griffin Bell13:08   A sequestered and anonymous jury17:22    Navigating credibility issues with key government witnesses29:25   An issue with a juror dubbed the “Marlboro Man”33:46   The guilty verdict against Barnes36:25   The larger implications of the Barnes case37:51    The depiction of Nicky Barnes on filmFurther reading:Barnes, Leroy & Folsom, Tom, Mr. Untouchable: The Rise, Fall, and Resurrection of Heroin's Teflon Don (2007)Ferretti, Fred, “Mr. Untouchable,” N.Y.

On today's episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim and Matt are joined by Coach Eric Nicksick of Xtreme Couture before catching up with the one and only Chael Sonnen. With just 12 days until UFC 312, Coach Nicksick explains that he is flying to Australia with an “And NEW, Times TWO” mentality for both Sean Strickland and Tatiana Suarez ahead of their respective title shots atop the PPV card in Sydney. With hopes of bringing both belts back to Xtreme Couture, Eric discusses the importance of avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach to coaching and cornering fighters. Then, Chael Sonnen makes his highly-anticipated return to the show after three years since his last Unfiltered appearance. After Chael takes a stroll down memory lane with Jim, Matt gets a full-fledged lesson in Trash Talking 101 before having the “American Gangster” wrap things up with his thoughts on coaching against Daniel Cormier in the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter.
