Dennis is joined via Zoom by Director Lovell Holder & Writer-Performer Roger Q. Mason, the duo behind the provocative and beautifully-crafted new film Lavender Men, which is based on Mason's hit stage play of the same name. The story centers on Taffeta (they/them, played by Mason), the put-upon stage manager of a play about Abraham Lincoln. After one too many backstage indignities, Tafetta cracks and decides to take the whole show over and narrate it as their fantasia and things get wild from there. Roger talks about the film's central themes of why do we, as humans, like what we like and the gulf that often exists between what we desire and what we need. Lovell talks about using the films Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Joe Wright's Anna Karenina as touchstones while making the piece, the day during the shoot when he ran out of steam and ideas and meeting Roger when then were both in their late teens. They both talk about working with the editor Morgan Halsey whose father Richard Halsey happened to speak at a screening of American Gigolo that Dennis saw on the very same day that he did this interview. Other topics include: eating an entire apple pie on stage, Mason refusing to take a nap during naptime at the YMCA as a child, the friends that pitched in to make the movie happen and Roger's belief that, "It's never easy to tell the truth in a world that capitalizes on lies and illusion."

Pretty Woman was released in 1990. One of the most beloved and successful romantic comedies of all time, the film tells the Cinderella story of a sex worker, played by Julia Roberts, who finds love with a slick businessman - Richard Gere - after he picks her up on Hollywood Boulevard.Fast forward to 2025 and the astonishing Oscar success of Anora - director Sean Baker's tale of a young sex worker whose whirlwind affair with a Russian billionaire's son turns bad, fast.So how has the way we treat sex work on screen changed? Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode delve into the long and thorny relationship between cinema and sex work. Mark speaks to film historian and critic Pamela Hutchinson about how sex work has been tackled in over a hundred years of movies - from early silent films like Pandora's Box, to the work of Sean Baker. They discuss Jane Fonda's Oscar-winning turn as a ‘call girl' in Klute, and look at how male sex worker films like Midnight Cowboy might approach the subject differently. Meanwhile, Ellen talks to Andrea Werhun, the writer, performer and real-life sex worker who served as a consultant on Anora - about her work on the film, and her love for another Richard Gere sex work film, American Gigolo. And Ellen also speaks to Kristen Lovell and Zachary Drucker, whose 2023 documentary The Stroll traced the history of trans sex workers in New York City's Meatpacking District. Kristen and Zachary discuss why sex work has been a key part of trans history - and what they think Anora's success means for sex workers.

This week we reviewed three films that all opened in Australian cinemas last week, but otherwise have little else in common.Our guest host Thomas Caldwell was joined by Silvi Vann-Wall and Vyshnavee Wijekumar. They discuss Richard Gere's reunion with American Gigolo writer and director Paul Schrader in Oh, Canada (also starring Uma Thurman and Jacob Elordi); the first fully animated Looney Tunes feature film, The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie, showcasing magnificent craftsmanship in its 2D animation and hitting the nostalgic feels; and Kazuhiro Soda's observationist documentary The Cats of Gokogu Shrine, which reveals a community collectively caring for stray cats.

The Blockbuster Babes get nostalgic and rediscover their inner children on the latest edition of the Movie Squad podcast! First up, Simon Miraudo and Tristan Fidler review Oh Canada for bemused Brekky host Pam Boland. It's the latest effort from legendary writer-director Paul Schrader, and sees him reunite with his American Gigolo star Richard Gere, who this time plays a documentarian reflecting on past regrets and cowardice (and is played in flashback by Jacob Elordi). Then, Tristan reviews The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie, starring Daffy Duck and Porky Pig, while the Squad talks about the kind of kid-friendly films they enjoy (and which ones they avoid). Both films are now in cinemas. Stay tuned for Tristan's interview with Bob Trevino Likes It director Tracie Laymon, and hear about the real-life inspirations behind the film, and the emotional reaction it's getting from audiences. Listen back to our review for Bob Trevino Likes It from last week! It's plays Perth Festival until Sunday 30 March. Be sure to tune in to RTRFM every Friday at 7:30am to hear Movie Squad live on Breakfast with Pam!

Marco besucht Heiko, um dem cineastischen Hochgenuss zu frönen – oder einfach nur, um Filme zu glotzen. Doch bevor es ans Eingemachte geht, werfen die beiden feinfühligen Männer einen Blick auf diverse Streifen aller Genres. Von tiefgründigen Meisterwerken bis zu Filmen, die man nur mit einer Tüte Chips und einem Seufzen erträgt – alles ist dabei! Im Double-Feature geht es dann richtig zur Sache:In der Screwball Comedy "Bluebeard's Eighth Wife" (1941) von Ernst Lubitsch lässt Multi-Millionär Brandon (Gary Cooper) seine Ehefrauen hinter sich wie kostspielige Konsumgüter. Um nicht zur achten Exfrau zu werden, macht sich sich sein neuester Schwarm (Claudette Colbert) daran, das Leben ihres Zukünftigen kräftig auf den Kopf zu stellen.In "Iron Angels" (1987) nimmt eine Triaden-Patin Rache an Interpol, nachdem ihre Opium-Felder von den Behörden abgefackelt wurden. Nacheinander werden die Polizisten, die sich ihr in den Weg stellten, ermordet. Nun kann nur noch die Spezialtruppe "Iron Angels" (u.a. Moon Lee) für ausgleichende und ausreichend blutige Gerechtigkeit sorgen!Kurzempfehlungen:Heiko: Nosferatu (2024), The Substance, High Noon, The Demoniacs, The People under the Stairs, Wyatt Earp, Marco: The Greasy Strangler, Bat-Woman, Rawhide, Three-O-Clock-High, 13 Steps of Maki: The Young Aristocrats, American Gigolo, WichitaHört auch unseren Comic Podcast: Im COMIC CAMP Podcast besprechen wir alle vier Wochen die neuesten US-Serienstarts, Neuheiten aus aller Welt und Klassiker aus unserem Comicregal. Jetzt überall wo es Podcasts gibt! Unterstützt uns mit einer Spende oder werdet Mitglied in der Filmkammer des Schreckens! https://ko-fi.com/filmkammerWeitere Links zu unseren Websites und Social Mediahttps://linktr.ee/filmkammerEmails könnt ihr uns an filmkammer@buddelfisch.de sendenHört die Filmkammer überall wo es Podcasts gibt!Music:Intro: "80s Workout Montage", von CrossGateProductions, lizensiert via EnvatoOutro: "Filmkammer Theme Song" Mix von Sebastian Kempke

Nach unserem Schnack über einen der maßgeblichen 80er-Überfilme, American Gigolo (1980), musste ich welkes Gemüse mir einfach wieder den frischen Zoomer Fynn Benkert ins Boot holen, um über Lockere Geschäfte (Risky Business, 1983) zu reden. Immerhin tut einen frische Perspektive gut und Not, wenn es um den Film geht, der den Status von Tom Cruise vom Nobody zum Hollywoodstar befeuerte. Ach ja, Reaganomics Galore gibt es noch dazu, und auf dem Soundtrack versammelt sich die geballte Synthiepop-Prominenz von anno Dings. Aber kann die Verführungskunst von Rebecca DeMornay und Schmierigkeit von Joey Pants auch einen jungen Hüpfer wie Fynn in ihren Bann ziehen? Oder gilt für Lockere Geschäfte die oft zitierte Weisheit "Man muss dabei gewesen sein ..."?

What happens when a male escort who caters to southern California's elite gets framed for a murder he (maybe) didn't commit? Honestly, we found it extremely difficult to give a shit. At least it wasn't John Travolta. +++++ Outro: Chipmunks on 16 speed performing Call Me

Odds and Ends: T.J. presents a pretty grim conspiracy theory; we finally watch some Christmas (adjacent) movies, just in time for, well, January Feature Film: We check in with Paul Schrader again to see how he's doing. He's doing fine, thanks. He just always makes movies about these lonely and despondent guys, so I'm a little concerned. He says he's okay, but I don't know him that well so he could just be faking. Also, I've never actually met or spoken to him before, so actually, wait, who was that that I was talking to?

durée : 00:03:21 - Le Regard culturel - par : Lucile Commeaux - Le cinéaste et scénariste Paul Schrader retrouve quarante ans après American Gigolo l'acteur Richard Gere, et adapte le roman de son ami Russel Banks - un film compliqué et pessimiste.

L'émission 28 minutes du 17/12/2024 Richard Gere ou l'itinéraire d'une star engagée à Hollywood Richard Gere fait partie de ces acteurs qui ont mis leur art au service de leurs convictions et de leurs engagements. Les siens sont nombreux, mais s'il y a un combat qui dépasse sans doute tous les autres, c'est celui pour le Tibet et les Tibétains. Converti au bouddhisme après un séjour au Népal, il devient un proche du dalaï-Lama et s'engage à ses côtés pour dénoncer l'occupation chinoise de ce territoire du nord de l'Himalaya. Un activisme qui lui fermera les portes d'Hollywood. Richard Gere ne va pas s'arrêter de tourner pour autant, mais dans des films à petits budgets. C'est encore le cas avec "Oh, Canada" : adaptation d'un des derniers romans de Russell Banks, réalisé par Paul Schrader, 40 ans après “American Gigolo”. Il y interprète Leonard Fife, documentariste engagé et théoricien de l'image qui, au soir de sa vie, atteint d'un cancer incurable, accepte de témoigner devant la caméra d'un de ses anciens élèves pour dire sa vérité : celle d'un homme usé dont la mémoire vacille et dont les choix n'ont pas toujours été aussi glorieux qu'il n'y paraît. Après la chute de la Syrie de Bachar Al Assad, l'Iran peut-il tomber à son tour ? Depuis l'attaque du 7 octobre 2023, perpétrée par le Hamas contre Israël, l'Iran a perdu, un à un, les partenaires de “son axe de la résistance” : le Hezbollah au Liban, le Hamas à Gaza et désormais la Syrie, pièce maîtresse qui permettait au régime des mollahs d'avoir un accès direct à la Méditerranée et au Liban pour alimenter en armes les miliciens du Hezbollah, son bras armé contre l'État hébreu. La chute de Bachar al-Assad intervient alors que l'Iran continue de subir les sanctions économiques internationales et fait face à une vague de contestation interne du régime. La dernière en date est celle de Parastoo Ahmadi, une jeune chanteuse iranienne qui a diffusé un concert dans lequel elle apparaît sans hijab. Son objectif : protester contre la loi sur la "promotion de la culture de la chasteté et du hijab", qui devait entrer en vigueur vendredi 13 décembre, avec un durcissement des sanctions en cas de non port du voile. Le nouveau président iranien a finalement décidé de ne pas promulguer cette loi. Alors, le régime des mollahs est-il plus affaibli que jamais ? Enfin, Justin Morin revient sur la vente aux enchères d'objets personnels du Général de Gaulle, organisée lundi 16 décembre à Paris, et Marjorie Adelson évoque la condamnation de Gilbert Montagné et de son parolier Didier Barbelivien pour plagiat.  28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05. Renaud Dély est aux commandes de l'émission le vendredi et le samedi. Ce podcast est coproduit par KM et ARTE Radio. Enregistrement : 17 décembre 2024 - Présentation : Élisabeth Quin - Production : KM, ARTE Radio

While Devo is known as an early 80's new wave synth pop band, their history goes back to 1973.  The classic lineup of Mark Mothersbaugh, Bob Mothersbaugh, Gerald Casale, Bob Casale, and Alan Myers developed the name Devo from "De-evolution," the idea that mankind is regressing to a herd mentality.  This was a bit of a joke idea that Gerald Casale and co-founder Bob Lewis formed while at Kent State University.  The band gained some local fame in 1976, and were signed to Warner Brothers in 1978 with recommendations from David Bowie and Iggy Pop.Freedom of Choice is Devo's third studio album and their breakout commercial success.  While their first two albums had generated some following, the commercial success was not at the level Warner Brothers sought, and the third album was considered a "make or break," one with the studio ready to drop the group.  Success did follow this album, with Devo exploiting the upcoming popularity of new wave while drifting a little bit towards R&B and funk sensibilities within their synth-pop framework.The album was recorded and mixed in six weeks, with bass, guitars, and drums being recorded together live, and with synthesizers and vocals being overdubbed later.   The album peaked at number 22 on the Billboard 200, and the big single, "Whip It," reached number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.Rob brings us this synthisizer-driven new wave album for this week's foray into the early 80's.Freedom of ChoiceThie post-punk title song initially sounds like it is about freedom of choice.  However, it is really about people not really having freedom of choice.  Consumerism - choosing between green sneakers and blue sneakers for example - isn't really choice at all.  "Freedom of choice is what you got.  Freedom from choice is what you want."Whip ItEveryone knows this signature Devo song.  Mark Mothersbaugh has stated that the song was written as a subtle Dale Carnegie-esque message to Jimmy Carter, saying "you can do it."  The song benefitted greatly from airplay on the fledgling cable channel MTV, where their strange video involving a guy knocking the clothes off a girl with a bullwhip received continual play.Gates of SteelThe lead song from side 2 is a bit of a commentary on the mechanization of humanity.  No matter how much we believe mankind has accomplished, we're not far removed from the ape.  "A man is real, not made of steel."Girl U WantThis was the first single released from the album, though it did not chart well.  The song was supposedly inspired by The Knack, though the track reminds us more of The Cars.  "She's just the girl, she's just the girl, the girl you want." ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Fame by Irene Cara (from the motion picture “Fame”)Irene Cara sings the theme song and stars in this teen musical drama about students auditioning to study at the High School of Performing Arts. STAFF PICKS:Crazy Little Thing Called Love by QueenLynch's staff pick is a song inspired by Elvis Presley.  Freddie Mercury wrote the song lyrics in about 10 minutes, and the band created the song in about 30 minutes.  Mercury played lead guitar for the original stuido recording.  It was the first number 1 hit that Queen had on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.  Cars by Gary NumanWayne brings us the signature song from Gary Numan.  It was inspired by an incident of road rage Numan experienced in London, where he had to lock his doors and drive on the sidewalk to avoid getting attacked.  He was safe in his car, and inspired to write a song in about 30 minutes.  It is a signature song of the New Wave genre, and there are no guitars in this track.Two Headed Dog (Red Temple Prayer) by Roky EricksonBruce features a strange hard rock song with lyrics inspired by Soviet scientist Vladimir Demikhov.  Demikhov's research focusted on organ transplants, and he conducted dog head transplants in the 1950's.  This song is off Erickson's debut album with his band the Aliens, and is considered a cult classic.  Call Me by Blondie Rob finishes the staff picks with a hit that feaured in the film "American Gigolo."  It went to number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks, the biggest hit of Blondie's career.  Lead vocalist Debbie Harry wrote the lyrics from the perspective of the main character in the film, a male prostitute.   INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Airlane by Gary NumanWe close out with a double dip on new wave synth artist Gary Numan this week.

Styx is approaching the height of their popularity and a bit of a turning point when they released their ninth studio album, Cornerstone.  Keyboardist and vocalist Dennis DeYoung, and lead guitarist and vocalist Tommy Shaw take the lion's share of the songwriting duites, with one or both developing all tracks save one.  The lead vocalist duties also alternate between DeYoung and Shaw, again with the sole exception being a song written and sung by guitarist James "JY" Young.This album finds the group shifting from a more prog rock sound to a pop rock orientation.  This transition would create a commercial success, with Cornerstone becoming the groups first top 5 album on the US charts - peaking at number 2.  The album would produce the groups first and only number 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in the power ballad "Babe."  It would also be a critical success, earning a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group.  Not bad for a self-produced album.The successes, however would be tempered with the first fractures appearing between the group's primary singers and songwriters.  Dennis DeYoung wanted to see the group move in a more pop direction, while Tommy Shaw preferred the rock orientation of previous albums.  James Young sided with Shaw in this dispute.  It would eventually cause a rift in the band in the mid-80's, with Shaw and DeYoung splitting up.Friend of the show Steve Hardin presents this classic rock and pop sensation in today's podcast. Borrowed TimeThe third single from the album was the lead track to side 2.  The song is a political one, portraying a United States in trouble, but oblivious to its decline.  DeYoung and Shaw co-wrote this song, and Dennis DeYoung takes lead vocal duties on this high energy track.Boat on the RiverThis more folk-oriented tune was a charting single in the UK and hit number 5 on the German charts, but was not released as a single in the US.  Tommy Shaw wrote and sings lead on this track, as well as playing mandolin.  It began as an experiment when Shaw first acquired a mandolin, but the band thought it sounded good enough to make it on the album.Why MeThe second single was a compromise choice.  Originally DeYoung wanted the power ballad "First Time" to be released as the second single, but when Tommy Shaw objected so strenuously to releasing two ballads in a row that he threated to leave the band over it, "Why Me" became the single.  Also written and sung by DeYoung, it is about feeling depressed even in the midst of success.  BabeThe band's sole number 1 single is a ballad about having to leave the one you love for a period of time.  Dennis DeYoung wrote it as a birthday present for his wife Suzanne.  Despite its success, it was not originally intended to appear on the album.  Tommy Shaw and James Young convinced DeYoung to put it on the album. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Rawhide by the Blues BrothersThe band performs behind a protective fence in a country bar in one scene, and this is the single song from the Country AND Western genre they can play. STAFF PICKS:Mystery Train by UFOWayne launches the staff picks with a cover of a song originally recorded by Junior Parker in 1953.  UFO were an English rock band originally formed in 1968.  This song is off their eighth studio album which was produced by George Martin of Beatles fame. Love Stinks by the J. Geils BandLynch's staff pick is a description of a love triangle in which no one gets what they want.  Lead Singer Peter Wolf was married to actress Faye Dunaway at the time, and was headed towards a divorce which may have inspired the lyrics.  Many will remember this song from Adam Sandler's performance in "The Wedding Singer."Even It Up by HeartRob brings us the first single from Heart's fifth studio album, "Bebe le Strange."  It features the Tower of Power horn section in the instrumentation.  The lyrics call for reciprocity in a relationship, and also a subtle rant against the obstacles women face in the rock world.Run Like Hell by Pink FloydSteve Hardin wraps up the staff picks with a song written by David Gilmour and Roger Waters.  The song is used in the film "The Wall" to depict rock anti-hero Pink as a fascist dictator turning the audience into a lynch mob.   INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Seduction by Giorgio MoroderThis instrumental love theme from the movie "American Gigolo" was on the charts at the time.

The importance of Blondie's “Call Me” can't be quantified in sales alone. Sure, it was a global hit. But it's also a part of cinematic history: It's played during the iconic opening sequence of the movie American Gigolo, starring Richard Gere. It is one of the signature compositions of the man they call the “godfather of disco”, Giorgio Moroder. And let's not forget the vocal and lyrical contributions of the legendary singer, Debbie Harry. Join hosts Diallo Riddle and LUXXURY as the break down this classic track.

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Kristi Callan, daughter of actress and author K Callen. That's K as in the letter, no period. We talk to Kristi about her mother's 50+ year career in stage, film, television and commercials in everything from an iconic All in The Family episode to the recent Knives Outbuzzed about film. Along the way we talk about Sanka commercials, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Carnivale, American Gigolo, Deep Space Nine, A Touch of Class, The Onion Field and much more. We even discuss a long lost Benson & Hedges cigarette commercial. You remember the ‘healthy' cigarette! We also take time to discuss Kristi's musical career in bands like Wednesday Week, The Roswell Sisters, Goat Deity, Dime Box Band and even aCheap Trick cover band, Cheap Chick. We hit upon everything from Hootenanny's, several cross country moves, a great Norman Lear story, the LA punk rock scene of the late seventies, early eighties, The Ramones recognizing her mother on a flight, seeing Eddie Van Halen on the set of One Day at a Time, meeting The Brady Bunch's Christopher Knight, long lost LA venues like The Starwood and the Music Machine and much more. It's evident from this interview just how much Kristi loves her mother who is going strong and sill acting at age 87. So much so, Kristi barely wanted to talk about her own career and wanted to focus almost exclusively on her mother alone. But we persevered and got her to talk about it all on this brand new episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast. Everyone has a story.

Dennis is joined via Zoom by filmmaker Gregg Araki (The Living End, Nowhere, Mysterious Skin) to discuss the re-release and restoration of his mid-1990s cult classic The Doom Generation, which stars Rose McGowan, James Duval and Johnathan Schaech. Gregg talks about what it's been like to revisit the film, what makes each of his three leads perfect for their roles, how the film got the subtitle “A Heterosexual Movie,” and how and why he cast people like Christopher Knight from The Brady Bunch, Lauren Tewes from The Love Boat and Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss in cameo roles. Gregg also talks about the darker themes of the movie and how young people today seem ever more doomed than they did in the 90's, how he approaches sex scenes, watching the movie again with an audience at this year's Sundance Film Festival and whatever happened to the kick-ass belt buckle Jonathan Schaech wore in the movie. Other topics include: his recent forays into television with his series Now Apocalypse and short-term directing gigs on shows like American Gigolo and Dahmer, why he called his production company Desperate Pictures, the upside of film school, his punk rock roots and that time a fan told him that watching The Doom Generation actually made him gay. www.strandreleasing.com

One of the most aesthetically influential movies of the ‘80s, Paul Schrader's American Gigolo sets a template for much of what we're going to discuss this season: it's about sex as a conduit for wealth, masks and double lives, and the role of danger in desire. Today we'll talk about the sexual persona of Gigolo star Richard Gere in the early 1980s; the ways in which Gigolo and other films from 1980 (Dressed to Kill, Cruising) grapple with straight male anxiety over gay male visibility; and the tension between the promotion of sex-positivity for women and the anti-feminist backlash.
