Podcast appearances and mentions of Armond White

Ian and Armond return with a look at Steven Spielberg's first (and wildly underappreciated) theatrical film, The Sugarland Express!Based on a true story, the movie follows Clovis and Lou Jean Poplin (William Atherton and Goldie Hawn), a couple of married Texas convicts whose young son has been taken away by the court. Their kidnapping of a highway patrolman named Maxwell Slide (Michael Sacks) sparks a state-wide police chase--and more wrecked cop cars than The Blues Brothers!In this spoilerific retrospective, the guys look at this unique bright spot in the careers of both Spielberg and Atherton (who would become known primarily for playing smarmy villains in classics like Ghostbusters and Die Hard), and how The Sugarland Express fits in with the storied history of the American "road picture"!Plus: Get a sneak peek of their next review!Subscribe, like, and comment on Kicking the Seat here on YouTube, and check us out at:kickseat.comXLetterboxdBlueSkyInstagramFacebookShow LinksWatch the Sugarland Express (1974) trailer.Bonus!

Ian and Armond close out their months-long coverage of Zack Snyder's Netflix saga, Rebel Moon!The guys covered the "theatrical" versions of Parts One and Two earlier this year, and now they're back with a look at the recently released "Director's Cuts" of both--which, according to the director, offer a completely new experience of his off-brand space fantasy.At nearly double the run-time, the question is, does "more" equal "better"? Or has Snyder torpedoed his would-be epic by over-stuffing it?In this spoilerific review, Ian and Armond get downright scrappy, as one critic's opinion takes a drastic turn from only a few months ago--while the other's appreciation of Rebel Moon increased unexpectedly!Plus: The guys talk about possible strategies for reviewing Part Three (should it ever materialize), and find themselves in fundamental disagreement about the nature of art and criticism!Subscribe, like, and comment to the Kicking the Seat YouTube channel, and check out kickseat.com for multiple movie podcasts each week!Show LinksRead Armond's reviews of the Rebel Moon Director's Cuts at The National Review:Part OnePart TwoWatch Ian and Armond's reviews of the Rebel Moon "Theatrical Cuts":Part OnePart TwoCan't get enough Armond White?

This was supposed to be a review of Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver.But as you'll soon see, Ian and Armond won't be able to talk about the movie until the end of summer (even though it was allegedly released on Netflix a couple weeks ago). Herein is a fiery look at the creative gray area of "The Director's Cut", where art, commerce, and technology form an uneasy (possibly unholy) alliance against which the movies have little defense.

After more than a year, Armond White returns to Kicking the Seat for a look at Cord Jefferson's American Fiction!Jeffrey Wright stars as Thelonious "Monk" Ellison, a teacher and frustrated author who writes a fake biography of a career criminal and becomes an overnight sensation. The book, meant to be a parody of the kind of Black pathology reveled in by White culture, is adopted by readers everywhere who see it as a gripping and authentic read. This horrifies the author and adds to a heap of problems, including sibling rivalry, a mother with dementia, and a tentative beach house romance.In this spoilerific episode, Ian and Armond cut through the politics, the pandering, and the pissed-away potential of a film that could have been the next Hollywood Shuffle--opting instead to be a gutless Hollywood virtue signal.

Grab your blonde wig, sunglasses and straight razor because we're kicking off a month of erotic thrillers with the grandaddy of them all: Brian De Palma's 1980 masterpiece Dressed to Kill! Joining us for the conversation is Austin-based queer film historian Elizabeth Purchell! Join us as we trace the film's journey from the mind of De Palma to a protested and picketed controversy among feminists and members of the queer community. It's a film that's all style and some substance, but we'd be remiss if we didn't tackle the film's more divisive aspects. Plus: "beaver shots," plenty of gay porn discussions, racist stereotypes, and the film's connections to Cruising.

Ian welcomes back author Benjamin Beard to look at one of cinema's most misunderstood films, Gone with the Wind!Last week, Ian and his wife ventured out to the historic Pickwick Theatre in Park Ridge, Illinois, to see Victor Fleming's landmark motion picture on a gigantic silver screen. When the theatre (also the site of the couple's wedding nearly 20 years ago) recently announced that it was set to close, the management decided to bookend the venue's history with a showing of the first film it had ever run. This was a first-time viewing for both, but not for Ben Beard, who wrote about the movie in his 2020 book, The South Never Plays Itself.In this revelatory episode, the guys walk through Ian's utter astonishment at what he witnessed over those utterly transportive four hours--and how the film's reputation, as perpetuated by both vehement detractors to ardent supporters, is likely the result of so few modern audiences having actually watched it.Ian and Ben also discuss the history of Margaret Mitchell's novel; its translation to the big screen (by a director who also helmed The Wizard of Oz, which came out the same year!); and the myopic hypocrisy with which some regard the movie today--not to mention a sneak peak of Ben's newest project and much, much more!Show Links:Watch the Gone with the Wind trailer.Follow all of Ben's goings-on at his website.Order Ben's book (which planted the seeds of this episode), The South Never Plays Itself.Watch actress Hattie McDaniel's historic Oscars acceptance speech.Watch Ian and Ben's conversation about The South Never Plays Itself.Learn more about Chicagoland's historic Pickwick Theatre.And check out Ian's conversation with National Review critic Armond White about the equally controversial films of D.W.

For episode 120, I'm joined once again by my co-hosts, Myles Hughes and Steve Prusakowski. This episode focuses on the end of Oscar voting and what the Academy Award nominations might look like. There's also questions, Myles finally understanding why I warned him about Skinamarink (reviewed here), as well as the return of an Armond White segment. Obviously, I also address the loss of my mother, but it's not the focus of the episode. So, if that's a trigger, just know it's there, but I'm still trying my best to give you what you're used to. As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 120th one to date (here's to at least 100 more).

The fifth and penultimate episode in our ALIEN Franchise series. Joined once again by Bill, we discuss Ridley Scott's return with Prometheus (2012), starring Noomi Rapace (pronounce as you will), Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, and that guy from UPGRADE (a really good sci-fi action movie). We spend a lot of this episode making fun of this movie instead of properly analyzing it. You can blame Matt for that. We even skip over most of its imagination of reproduction—which we will address in the next episode! What we do talk about is puffy humanoid aliens who might be related to Jesus, the way corporations express love, TED Talks, vulgar Nietzscheanism, Frankenstein, Lawrence of Arabia, the Tower of Babel, intelligent design, and Armond White.

Ian welcomes back National Review film critic Armond White for a look at Steven Spielberg's paranoid sci-fi masterpiece, Minority Report! Based on the Philip K. Dick novella, this 2002 summer blockbuster stars Tom Cruise as John Anderton, a federal "PreCrime" cop who works with an elite team to prevent murders before they happen. When he's accused of murdering a stranger, his life becomes an unrelenting search for the truth.Armond White wrote glowingly about the film in his 2002 essay, "Spielberg Goes to Alphaville", which appears in his book, Make Spielberg Great Again. He and Ian talk about Minority Report's unsettling prescience; its status as one of the last big-budget popcorn epics with both brains and a conscience; and why it may feature Tom Cruise's finest performance.Note: Despite their best efforts, the guys still found themselves dealing with A/V issues.

Ian welcomes back National Review film critic Armond White for a look at Steven Spielberg's West Side Story!This remake of Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins' 1961 Oscar winner remains a period musical, but Spielberg and screenwriter Tony Kushner have updated the Jets and Sharks' New York turf war with decidedly new-millennium politics.While it's too early to tell whether or not the abysmal $10 million opening bodes ill for the film's long-term prospects, chances are this movie will wind up a footnote in the press surrounding this weekend's Spider-Man: Far From Home opening.But it didn't have to be this way.From bizarre dialogue to checkbox casting to a puzzling refusal to subtitle the film's numerous Spanish-language scenes, Armond and Ian look at the ways in which West Side Story's agenda undercuts genuinely dazzling artistry presented by a fully engaged yet deeply conflicted Spielberg.Show Links:Watch the West Side Story (2021) trailer.Read Armond's review of West Side Story in The National Review.Order the book that inspired this discussion, Armond's Make Spielberg Great Again.Listen to Ian's (sorta) podcast about the 1961 West Side Story from 2013!Subscribe to, like, and comment on the Kicking the Seat YouTube channel!

Armond White returns with an episode he not only named but also suggested: A look at two films featuring The Talking Heads front-man, Davide Byrne!Byrne's directorial debut, True Stories, turns 35 this year, and finds the aloof musician wandering the streets of fictitious Virgil, Texas on the eve of its sesquicentennial celebration. More than three decades later, Byrne emerged with 2020's American Utopia, the film version of his hit Broadway show, directed by Spike Lee.Ian and Armond examine the sociopolitical themes in both films and offer a counter to some of the ideas they find unsettling. From Byrne's apparently elitist view of middle America; to an embarrassing self-flagellation in service of bumper-sticker activism, the guys track the bizarre twists and turns of an artist they'd once greatly admired.NOTE: Due to some technical issues (possibly a bum internet connection), the audio and video aren't as solid as they could be. We're working on a fix for next time.Show Links:Watch the True Stories trailer.Watch the David Byrne's American Utopia trailer.Follow Armond at The National Review.Order the book that inspired this discussion, Armond's Make Spielberg Great Again.Listen to Ian's earlier True Stories conversation with RogerEbert.com's Nick Allen on the Kicking the Seat Podcast #393.Subscribe to, like, and comment on the Kicking the Seat YouTube channel!

Armond White returns to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Steven Spielberg's A.I. Artificial Intelligence!It's been exactly two decades since Ian saw the film on opening day, and re-watching it for the show was quite an eye-opening experience. Armond hadn't seen it in years, either, and in the next hour, you'll see two critics giving an under-appreciated sci-fi masterpiece its due.From the ahead-of-its-time technological and political allegories; to its multi-layered examination of the Pinnochio story; and unapologetically spiritual exploration of what it means to be human, A.I. offers a lot for Ian and Armond to chew on.They also speculate on the late Stanley Kubrick's influence in his collaboration with Spielberg, and talk through Armond's one major story critique.Show Links:Watch A.I.

On this episode we take a look at Chloé Zhao's Nomadland (2020) and also the oddly negative reviews from some Leftist film critics as well as Armond White.   Follow us at: Twitter / Instagram / Letterboxd / Facebook 

Titus & Armond White talk Zack Snyder--the artist of the year, with Justice League & Army Of The Dead giving us a beautiful & a dark vision of the American future. We talk about the power of his imagery, the way he's taken up Spielberg's mantle as America's leading cinematic humanist, & how he stands up for the part of America that's now silenced--faith, heroism, patriotism...

Armond White, a Film and Music Critic who writes for National Review and Out & Author of the book "Make Spielberg Great Again: The Steven Spielberg Chronicles" speaks on Oscar season and how the best films of the year are not up for nomination because they were ignored for Hollywood's leftist propaganda.

The Color Purple had such a profound impact on film critic Armond White (and, to his mind, the pop landscape of 1985) that he marked it as an era in his latest book, Make Spielberg Great Again.Today, Ian and Armond look at Steven Spielberg's Oscar-nominated drama, and the movie that both inspired and mirrored it, D.W. Griffith's Orphans of the Storm. Despite having been released more than a half-century apart, and despite focusing on two distinctly separate worlds (the Jim Crow South and Revolution-era France, respectively) both stories center on young sisters ripped apart by oppressive cultural forces--eventually reunited by a love that transcends geography, violence, and treachery.This spoilerific discussion includes thoughts on the changing attitudes about race and representation in film; how Spielberg, in adapting Alice Walker's novel for the big screen, channeled a grand narrative legacy that includes Griffith, Ford, and Dickens; and Armond's eye-popping pick for the heir to the Spielberg/Griffith throne!Show Links:Watch The Color Purple trailer.Watch Orphans of the Storm free on Amazon Prime (no trailer available).

Ian welcomes back National Review film critic Armond White for a look at two movies whose influence on the art form is as undeniable as it is controversial.D.W. Griffith's 1915 silent epic The Birth of a Nation is a Klan origin fable bursting with racism and historical inaccuracies--but it's also a gripping human drama that boasts ahead-of-its-time storytelling techniques. Griffith followed this up the next year with Intolerance, an even grander project that interweaves four centuries-spanning morality tales, all connected by a theme that essentially undermines The Birth of a Nation's...intolerance.In this wide-ranging (and by no means definitive) conversation, Ian and Armond talk about the balance between appreciating art and endorsing it; Griffith's puzzlingly inconsistent use of blackface; and what makes Intolerance, in Mr. White's opinion, the "greatest movie ever made."Show Links:Watch the Birth of a Nation (1915) trailer.Watch the Intolerance (1916) trailer.Read Armond's The Birth of a Nation (1915) review.

Controversial film critic Armond White returns to the Kicking the Seat Podcast to discuss his latest book, Make Spielberg Great Again! In this bold collection of essays, reviews, and commentary, White lays out his career-long fascination with the iconic creator of E.T. and Close Encounters, and makes a case for the writer/director's evolution as an artist of supreme social consciousness--the trajectory of which, White argues, has ultimately led Spielberg astray in the early 21st Century.In addition to exploring the book's themes, Ian and White talk about its origins; the trouble with critics; the hazard of political labels; and why everyone may be wrong about the Internet's most reviled movie reviewer.

Titus & Armond White discuss Spielberg, America's preeminent pop artist, the most important Hollywood director of the last half-century, & Armond's new collection of essays & reviews on Spielberg.

A dialogue about cinema and criticism with three of the best. Armond White makes his first appearance on the podcast while both Godfrey Cheshire and Matt Zoller Seitz return. Together they contributed to some of the most important long-form film criticism ever written, much of which is collected in the new book "The Press Gang" available from Seven Stories Press.

Today, the Kicking the Seat Podcast celebrates 575 episodes with its most critical round table yet! This week, Seven Stories Press released The Press Gang, a massive collection of film criticism, essays, and interviews from the pages of The New York Press. Between 1991 and 2011, critics Godfrey Cheshire, Matt Zoller Seitz, and Armond White provided bold, thought-provoking, and often irreverent commentary on blockbusters, indies, and the current state of cinema itself.In this no holds barred discussion, Ian and “the gang” look back on two magical decades of fearless film journalism and tackle controversies within the profession, such as the existence of “troll” critics; the struggles of making a living as a critic in the Internet age; the future of movies, and much, much more.Episode 575 has some definite opinions!Show Guide:Film Critic Advocacy: 0:00 - 2:13Intro Music: 2:13 - 2:29Intro: 2:29 - 9:00Transition Music: 9:00 - 9:39The Press Gang Interview: 9:39 - 1:19:07Outro Music: 1:19:07 - 1:19:23Keep up with the latest seat-kicking goodness by following, liking, rating, and subscribing to us on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, iTunes, Stitcher!

Brice, Eytan, and Sophia discuss Tik Tok Zoomer Couples, the Brass Rail COVID outbreak, and WAP. We also try to talk about Kamala Harris but instead discuss the concept of testicle phrenology. We then go through Derek Sloan’s Conservative Party platform, the midtown homeless shelters in Toronto, and Armond White’s Antifa Film Syllabus. We end this big ass episode by reading yelp reviews of the Brass Rail. “Fuck John Steinbeck, Read Percy Jackson.” - a bi-sexual woman with a history of mental health issues

Titus & Jody Bottum & Armond White discuss novels & cinema, adaptations, when & how the movies improve on literature, as well as the difficulties facing the translation of narration into performance.

Kelly Reichardt and A24's latest frontier drama centres on two friends who take a risk stealing from the wealthiest man in Oregon Territory to start a business and experience some hardship along the way. It's a critical darling that we have some good and bad things to say about, its use of genre and film-making techniques, and its thematic exploration of capitalism, masculinity, and the frontier. And of course Armond White has his say, and by the end we reveal a new character to the show: Antiracist Baby. ReComradationsLaura: [1] Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom, dir.

Plus, an Oscar recap with film critic Armond White.

Titus & Armond White discuss the great movies of 1968, especially the Godard pictures then first brought to America, Les Carabiniers ('63), Weekend, & La Chinoise ('67), which form a sort of trilogy of the past, present, & future of Europe--from war to revolution. (We also talk about his latest, The Image Book.) We focus on Godard's ironic documentary style & prophecies about modern society, his criticism of left-wing terrorism & right-wing consumerism--both versions of materialism. We also point to one of his signs of the alternative: Goethe.

A couple of weeks ago, filmmaker/music-video filmmaker Joseph Kahn came to Houston to talk to press about his new movie, Bodied, which hits theaters today. (It'll be on YouTube Premium at the end of the month.) He also brought along stars Jackie Long (Real Husbands of Hollywood) and Calum Worthy (American Vandal). I got a few minutes with them to talk about the movie, Kahn's experiences directing videos for rappers, whether or not white people can actually rap and -- for all the Film Twitter nerds out there -- Kahn's opinion of Armond White's glowing review for his first, critically-panned movie, Torque.

Jenna and Chris are back, and they're ready to talk about 'Black Panther', the latest MCU movie, and arguably the most significant one yet. In the process, we uncover a major flaw about Rotten Tomatoes' lack of diversity, dissect a lot of white lady nonsense, and unintentionally predict Joss Whedon getting fired from 'Batgirl'. (No, seriously, we finished recording about ten minutes before the news broke.)In what ways does this movie set a new gold standard for the superhero movies of the future?

Almost every living member of the original Frotcast family is back for this double episode extravaganza, starring Laremy Legel, Matt Lieb, Joey Avery, Brendan, and Vince Mancini. This week, we’re talking everything from Armond White believing in crisis actors and his Black Panther review, to Game Night, a comedy that actually features crisis actors. We … Continue reading 361: The Oscar For Best Crisis Actor, with Laremy →

Jenna and Chris are back, and they're ready to talk about 'Black Panther', the latest MCU movie, and arguably the most significant one yet. In the process, we uncover a major flaw about Rotten Tomatoes' lack of diversity, dissect a lot of white lady nonsense, and unintentionally predict Joss Whedon getting fired from 'Batgirl'. (No, seriously, we finished recording about ten minutes before the news broke.)In what ways does this movie set a new gold standard for the superhero movies of the future? Is Killmonger really the most interesting MCU antagonist yet? And have some of these negative reviewers even /looked/ at a comic book before?

Titus & Armond White discuss the Better Than list summarizing 2017 in movies, in counter-cultural terms. We talk about Lady Bird & A quiet passion (the Emily Dickinson biopic), Valerian (the Luc Besson galactic blockbuster), & finally about Theo & Hugo & Call me by your name. The Better Than list is the only counter-cultural idea for awards season! Listen & share!

We ring in the new year with a bumper episode packed to the rafters with thumbs-down reviews. Danny did not care for James Franco's The Disaster Artist, a vanity project about the making of another vanity project (cult "worst film ever" The Room), and Sam was unimpressed by Aaron Sorkin's directorial debut Molly's Game, the drabbest showcase yet for Sorkin's unchanging repertoire of grating dialogue tics. Nor were we much endeared to Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, in which an admittedly barnstorming Frances McDormand performance gets sunk by dated, offensive humour and misjudged racial politics.We also discuss the awards season and find that it has been an absolute crock, we marvel at the gumption of greedy-guts Mark Wahlberg*, and we check in with everyone's favourite contrarian film critic Armond White. Plus we say "up your bum" a lot.We're doing a quiz next week, and you should come!!! It's on Tuesday, January 23, at the Social Bar in London. Here is the link with all the details: https://www.facebook.com/events/515393308840218/permalink/515609948818554/*At the time of recording he hadn't yet donated his massive fee for the All the Money in the World reshoots to Time's Up so he gets no credit for that from us. Should've done it earlier Wahlberg!! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Titus & Armond White talk about the collapse of criticism & cultural journalism. The triumph of a shallow liberal ideology in several, maybe most, mass media has made both art & ideology invisible in ways that cause them to deteriorate.

Steven Peros is an American playwright, screenwriter, director, and television writer. He is the author of both the stage play and screenplay for The Cat's Meow, which was made into the 2002 Lionsgate film directed by Peter Bogdanovich and starring Kirsten Dunst, Eddie Izzard, Edward Herrmann, Carey Elwes, Jennifer Tilly, and Joanna Lumley. Additional Film Writing credits include his directorial debut, Footprints (2011), which was hailed as "One of the Ten Best Films So Far This Year" by Armond White, Chairman of the New York Film Critics Circle and was similarly praised by critics Kevin Thomas, F.X. Feeney, Mick LaSalle,and White during the film's initial release. He followed this with The Undying (2011), which he directed and co-wrote, and which starred Robin Weigert, Wes Studi, Jay O. Sanders, and Sybil Temtchine. As a playwright, The Cat's Meow had its world premiere in Los Angeles in 1997 and is published by Samuel French, Inc. It has been performed in four countries as of 2013. His earlier play, Karlaboy (1994) also premiered in Los Angeles where it received a Drama-Logue Award for Outstanding Achievement in Writing. It is also published by Samuel French.   The film takes place aboard publisher William Randolph Hearst's yacht on a weekend cruise celebrating Ince's 44th birthday on November 16, 1924. Among those in attendance are Hearst's longtime companion and film actress Marion Davies, fellow actor Charlie Chaplin, writer Elinor Glyn, columnist Louella Parsons, and actress Margaret Livingston. The celebration is cut short by an unusual death that would go on to become the subject of legendary Hollywood folklore. Steven Peros Website: StevenPeros.com Twitter: @StevenGPeros BIO: After working as a produced writer for Film and Stage, Steven recently forayed successfully into Television, selling his first two original one-hour pilots: Dorian Gray to NBC/Universal, and a second to MTV with Relativity TV and Andrew Panay producing.

John's back!  The original Nerd Soup duo celebrates John's wrap of Gags by talking about some nonsense for an hour!   In The Armond White Zone, Mike and John discuss movies that they feel deserve some love, and in Pull List, they take a look at some comics that you need to check out! So many recommendations!  If you have some for the guys, hit us up on Facebook (Nerd Soup), @nerdsouppodcast on Twitter and nerdsouppodcast@gmail.com.   AND, if you can hop over to your streaming service of choice and give us a 5 star rating, that'd be just the best!   Thanks in advance! 

It's the horror movie everyone is talking about. Jordan Peele's directorial debut Get Out obtained the coveted 100% on Rotten Tomatoes before attention-seeking ass-hat "critic" Armond White had to ruin things. Find out what all the buzz is about! It's Reel Spoilers 260: #GetOut w/ Tom O'Keefe, Dan Graney, Joey Butts and guest host Orlandez Lewis. You've been warned. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Nerd Soup celebrates its sweet 16! The guys take a look at a couple of movies that might be worth your time in The Armond White Zone.  Would you believe Mike ACTUALLY likes a Nicolas Cage movie!?!  And it's not even The Rock! And, in returning segment Pop Quiz, Hotshot!, the guys quiz each other on poster taglines.  You'd be surprised at how difficult some of them are to get, play along at home and see if you can get the answers before Mike and John (it shouldn't be that hard).  We really enjoy making this show, so thank you very much for listening and keeping us going.  If you have any suggestions for topics for the show, or you just want to ask us questions, feel free to e-mail us at nerdsouppodcast@gmail.com or on twitter @nerdsouppodcast.

This week on the Frotcast, we’re discussing the classic 1986 blackface comedy, Soul Man, starring C. Thomas Howell. Did this film “predict Obama’s rise,” as Armond White believes? Comedians Matt Lieb and Allison Mick join Brendan and me (Vince Mancini) in the studio. Soul Man’s assertion that the 80s were “the Cosby decade” also lead … Continue reading Frotcast 312: Soul Man (With Matt Lieb & Allison Mick) →

Abstract: This thirteenth episode is a celebration of Michael Jackson's 58th birthday. Karin and Elizabeth's conversation explores Michael Jackson and Afrocentricity, the predominantly American study of the history of black Africa.

They also discuss the following eight songs: Bad, Liberian Girl, Remember the Time, Jam, Black or White, Keep the Faith, They Don't Care About Us, History.

In which we discuss fine Ethiopian coffee, our official opinions on contrarian critic Armond White, and the kookie symmetrical world of Wes Anderson.

TJ is back to give you the news from the past week. First up, the winner at the Golden Globes is ‘12 Years a Slave'. Then there's ‘Star Wars' Rumors galore. And they haven't even started filming this thing. It's going to be a long wait until the release of this film! ‘Catching Fire' toppled ‘Iron Man 3' as the biggest earner for 2013. Pretty big deal. Armond White was kicked out of the New York Film Critics Circle, and good riddance to him. TJ also focused his time and attention this week on ‘Saving Mr. Banks' by writing a review, and releasing two podcasts about it. ‘Gravity' is returning to theaters so you should check that out if you failed to see it the first time. A man in Florida was shot in the theater for texting. That's really not good at all! And TJ has the list of Oscar nominees for you! Of course find out what to see this weekend as well.

So I conned a group of friends to get together and discuss the rise of amateur film criticism and the fall of Armond White from the New York Film Critics Circle. Please visit them at their respective websites: Beth Accommando:…Read more →

This week on The Nerdpocalypse Podcast the guys discuss Amazon ebook restrictions, Vizio's 2014 TV line-up, brain plasticity drug, stun gun iPhone case, Marvel's plan for the Ultimate Universe, Armond White, more Man of Steel 2 rumors, and more.

Here's the deal with today's Crizzlecast. Last fall, I interviewed Matt Zoller Seitz, film critic, TV critic, video essayist, blog founder -- whatever you wanna call him. Anyway, we discussed the differences between reviewing movies and reviewing TV, his experiences reviewing movies along with Godfrey Cheshire and Armond White, his love for Spielberg, how hectic it is writing about television these days, the death of 35mm film, seeing 48 Hours with his daughter, that time I stayed at his place during the New York Film Festival -- the whole schmeer. Here's the problem: I had so many other things I wanted to talk with him about, but he had to cut it short because he had to go back to work. At the end of this episode, we agreed to do a second Crizzlecast. To make a long story long, it's April and that still hasn't happened. So, here is what I'm gonna do: I'll post this episode today, and if you want to hear more, please badger and harass Matt about doing a part two with me. I'd appreciate it. 

For our final Dan Week guest on the Crizzlecast, I speak with Danny Baldwin -- no, not the actor. Baldwin is a San Diego film critic, best known for his work in Bucket Reviews and, now, Critic Speak. We actually begin talking about other critics, specifically Armond White and previous Crizzlecast guest Victor J. Morton. Eventually, we get into Baldwin's life as a film critic as well as how much of a pain it is watching a decently-projected movie in San Diego. We eventually talk about Daniel Baldwin, and how people get disappointed when they find out Danny's not him. Yeah, I don't understand it either! 

We cover everything related to Reacher, how to do a Daniel Day-Lewis impersonation, Armond White, and science meets magic. Among other things...

For today's Crizzlecast, I speak to Odie Henderson, fellow African-American film scribe and all-around super genius. (As you listen to the podcast, you'll find out that I'm SO not kidding about that.) It seems quite a few people have expressed interest in hearing me and Henderson rap a taste. Considering this would be our first time speaking, I was wondering how we'd hit it off. As you'll hear in this episode, he's practically my brother from another mother. We talk about it all: movies, growing up as black nerds, Republicans, racism, why black folks can't seem to get it together, Armond White, Here Comes the Boom, etc. It's another episode that was truly enjoyable for me. Hope you enjoy it too.

And here it is, the inaugural episode of “You’re All Wrong,” my first venture into podcasting. This is just Episode 0, announcing my intention to make a lot of people angry. I will be doing future episodes but first I need guests. And this is a call for guests. I got the idea for this podcast after my little guest stint on Television Zombies, where I was asked to come on the show and defend Alcatraz.  I did my job but, in doing so, realized that I like a lot of things that a lot of people seem to dislike and dislike a lot of things that a lot of people seem to like. “You’re All Wrong” will be a short podcast where I debate the merits of something with someone who believes I’m crazy and that the masses are 100% correct. So what are possible candidates for the somethings? If the show keeps going I’ll drop new lists every so often, but here’s the first list: Things I like that a lot of people seem to dislike: Speed Racer the movie, Terra Nova, TGI Fridays, Red Lobster, Event Horizon, Lionel Richie, New Kids on the Block, 808s and Heartbreaks, A Night at the Roxbury, Drake, Radio Shack, Armond White, and American Horror Story. Things that I dislike that a lot of people seem to like: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Battlestar Galactica, piracy, all British Television shows except for Monty Python, True Blood, Drive, X-Men: First Class, 2-Pac, The Doors, Christopher Hitchens, Twilight,  100 Bullets, Louie, Sage Francis, Inception, Bridesmaids, Funny People, Lady Gaga, the Yankees, and Mountain Dew. Also! If there’s something you love (or hate) that a lot of people hate (or love), let me know and maybe we can do a show on that. I’m speaking specifically to my friend Chris, who loves Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Strikes Again despite the fact that he is completely wrong. I really hope he accepts this public throwing-down of the gauntlet. It is time he commits his opinion to the permanent record. If anything I just mentioned just made your blood boil then you can be my guest on a show! And who can be a guest? Anyone!…provided you meet the following criteria: 1) You have an argument for or against the topic being discussed. Your reason for liking or disliking something can’t just be, “Because,” 2) You have Skype, 3) You can spare 10-20 minutes to talk about the subject, 4) You can talk, 5) And bonus points for being a debate champion, owning a decent microphone, or being involved in some way with the thing being discussed! I’ve been reaching out to some folks on my own already but if you want in on this, send an email to jrodinator@gmail.com and let me know! Seriously – I don’t even have to know who you are…although there may be a little pre-screening.  And, of course, you can subscribe to the feed via iTunes or whatever you want right here. And, that’s it for now! More in the weeks to come…

Here we go again with Sidney Lumet, Armond White, Professor Brian Cox, Tron and Tron Legacy. Enjoy.
