Podcast appearances and mentions of babe pig

On this episode we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Mad Max: Fury Road - Black and Chrome Edition. Often considered the greatest action film of all time, Fury Road reintroduced the world to Max, this time played by Tom Hardy, as he teams up with Furiosa to take on the dystopian warlord Immortan Joe. George Miller's stated intention was to make a movie that was one long chase, and as elemental and close to a silent film as possible. The Black and Chrome Edition brings this vision even closer.Other topics include Charlize Theron, George Miller's filmography and how Babe: Pig in the City fits in, America's obsession with celebrity culture, Warren Zevon's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Riot Fest, and whether or not we should cover The Beaver with Mel Gibson on the podcast.Songs of the WeekLet Them Eat War by Bad ReligionKurt Kobain by ProofBrothers In Arms by Junkie XLRemainders Jukebox PlaylistWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter

Think of the tallest person you know. No, no. Taller than that. OK are you thinking of Emmy Award wiining actor and activist James Cromwell? You know, the farmer from Babe (and presumably Babe: Pig in the City)? No it's someone else you say? Well then perhaps I could interest you in this extremely bizarre episode of the bounty hunter show Renegade?!You see Cromwell decided that he was no longer content to be known as the star of Babe, he also wanted to stretch his acting legs and take on other, more sinister roles. But why get bogged down by the pressures of plying your craft in a prestige drama when you can instead head over to syndicated 90s TV and not only chew up the scenery but also set the stage on fire? Look you just need to listen to this episode. If you weren't already sold how about this tidbit: Lorenzo Lamas directed it. Wait, no come back!

The first BABE was a family-friendly megahit. So for the sequel, why did director George Miller thrust his sweet porcine hero into a family-unfriendly nightmare?  Host Rico Gagliano takes a trot down the mean streets of BABE: PIG IN THE CITY, telling the story of its rise and box-office fall with the help of guests including Farmer Hoggett himself, James Cromwell (SUCCESSION), and voice-of-Babe E.G. Daily (PEE-WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE).The latest season of The MUBI Podcast – BOX OFFICE POISON — dives into six visionary films... that were also notorious flops.

Have you ever thought to yourself, "Hey! I love this classic family friendly masterpiece of a film with talking animals, but, I kind of wish there were more graphic death scenes and despair"?

George Miller sequels. Special guest Sophie Ricketts joins Jeremy Downing and William Chen to discuss Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) and Babe: Pig in the City (1998). We begin by discussing our reactions to Babe: Pig in the City, by first considering its predecessor Babe (1995) and then reminiscing the circumstances in which we watched its 1998 sequel. We talk about the darkness in Babe: Pig in the City and whether this film is appropriate for children. We then move on to a discussion about Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) and immediately discuss it in comparison to Mad Max: Fury Road (2015). We finish by discussing why we think Furiosa is bombing at the box office and our final thoughts on Babe 2, with some last-minute comparisons to Poor Things (2023), La cité des enfants perdus | The City of Lost Children (1995) and Batman Returns (1992).

George Miller you are a wild man for this one. You are a messed-up crazyguy for directing this thing. Join Spencer, Ty, and Andy as they talk about the gritty underbelly of George Miller's 1998 movie that many critics called "a dark, twisted fantasia," as well as suggest directions that a potential threequel could take.

Phil Iscove joins to discuss the work of the visionary director and his brilliant, underseen sequel to everyone's favorite talking pig movie, 'Babe: Pig in the City'. Following the breakout success of 1995's 'Babe', Miller delivered a darker, more adventurous story that sees the titular pig braving a cold, indifferent Metropolis (featuring a fascinating assembly of familiar landmarks from cityscapes around the world) and winning the hearts of its embittered animal residents through his courage, cunning, and compassion. Gene Siskel's #1 film of 1998 and a favorite of musician and actor Tom Waits, the film has steadily found its faithful audience after an initially disappointing box office run, anticipating some of Miller's careerlong challenges with compelling audiences to gamble on his bold visions.We discuss the film's narrative and thematic swings, how Miller takes the story in fascinating new directions, and why the filmmaker's insistence on never repeating himself becomes both the film's greatest asset and its toughest barrier for entry. Then, we assess the movie's incredible technical achievements, and why making this film feels like it might have been just as challenging as Miller's work on any of the Mad Max films. We also praise the film's willingness to embrace difficult emotions and never shy away from challenging its target audience of young viewers with harrowing and heartrending scenes of animals in extrememly human experiences of distress, opression, and danger.Finally, we turn our eyes to George Miller's latest entry in his long-running action series, 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga'. Epic in scope, bold in vision, and featuring some of Miller's most ambitious storytelling, 'Furiosa' has been embraced critically, but is failing to find its audience, with disappointing box office returns and a near-guaruntee of a short theatrical run.On the back half of this episode, we make the case for 'Furiosa', praise its grandeur as well as its nuance, and offer up some readings of the film that challenge many of the common criticisms we've seen so far.Follow Phil Iscove on Twitter.Listen to and support Podcast Like It's... on Patreon and wherever you stream podcasts.....Our theme song is 'Mirror' by Chris Fish.

It's the season 3 finale, and Will's pick is the zany and imaginative family film Babe: Pig in the City, from the incomparable George Miller. Listen as the duo discuss Miller's filmography, the existentialism of this talking animal fantasy, and how the diverse, cold/hot extremes of Miller's movies create a truly idiosyncratic body of work.

Matt, Laci, and their unnamed dog are on a quest for as much guzzoline as they can carry in this episode covering one of the all-time great action movies, George Miller's Mad Max 2 (1981).   In this wonderfully weird film that we yanks tend to call The Road Warrior, Max Rockatansky (Mel Gibson) is enlisted against his will by a ragtag band of oil refinery folks in their war against the dread Lord Humungus. It's kind of like Casablanca, but after the world ends. And Australian.   Mad Max is Matt's favorite movie franchise, so listen up and he'll tell you how this movie is actually politically poignant and emotionally devastating. A grand adventure indeed!   Matt made a six-minute video about how Babe: Pig in the City is George Miller's most Mad Max movie: https://youtu.be/ah38veX7RSc Watch this episode in full: https://youtu.be/fEIYAIczSJo   Next week: William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet (1996) with special guest Screen Time Kota!   Time stamps: 00:01:50 — Our history with the Mad Max franchise 00:17:33 — Pre-movie predictions 00:22:46 — History segment: Brief overview of Australian cinema in the ‘70s and ‘80s; overview of director George Miller 00:46:14 — In-depth movie discussion 01:23:23 — Final thoughts and star ratings   Artwork by Laci Roth.   Music by Rural Route Nine.

Look, we're not sports guys, but this is the closest we'll get.

The podcast is back at full strength as Sean returns to the co-chair on this one. You would think all that time away would give us time to find new and exciting things to talk about, but thankfully we immediately fall back into our habit of talking about garbage no one has cared about for literal decades. This time around there's a long discussion about Siskel and Ebert's At the Movies and the insane opinions of these two maniacs: Pleasantville being better than Saving Private Ryan, Babe: Pig in the City also being better than Saving Private Ryan, Black Stallion being better than Raging Bull, and Siskel's completely unsurprising love of Star 80. We also discuss that one scene in A Very Brady Sequel, the Action Boyz watching Godfrey Ho movies, getting squeezed out like a toothpaste roller, The Long Kiss Goodnight, the potential end to Sean's Tubi Corner, Jim Carrey's Foghat Man character, Shawn Hatosy sliding down a prop slide, the VHS copy of Medium Cool that destroyed Brad's VCR, Annie, the positive side of Grease 2, the many scores of Tangerine Dream, AIM screen names based on the surfing movie Blue Crush, God Lives Underwater vs. Primitive Radio Gods vs. Godsmack, and of course MTV's Fear. --- Website: www.queenvenerator.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/queenvenerator/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/queenvenerator.bsky.social

Writer/director George Miller steps into the spotlight for this episode of Film Stories, as we dig into a pair of his sequels.The hugely-acclaimed Mad Max: Fury Road arrived in 2015, but it had a heck of a journey to get that far. An abandoned attempt to get the film made in 2003, and then the whole production having to be put on ice for a year after weather conditions meant a change of location. And then there was the shoot itself, which came to an end without the beginning or final act of the film shot. It was quite a saga.1998's Babe: Pig In The City was a film pretty much taken for granted by its parent studio, Universal Pictures. It wasn't until a late preview screening that the studio discovered it hadn't quite got the sequel to 1995's Babe that it was after - and urgent last minute changes were called for.

Actor and activist James Cromwell has gone from “Succession's” Uncle Ewan to real-life supergluin' — pasting his hand to a midtown Manhattan Starbucks counter on Tuesday to protest the coffee chain's extra charge for plant-based milk. The 82-year-old Oscar nominee, known for “Babe: Pig in the City” and “L.A. Confidential,” channeled his role as the crotchety, anti-capitalist brother of a billionaire media mogul for the protest organized by the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Cromwell sat on the Starbucks counter wearing a "Free the Animals" T-shirt and read a statement denouncing the surcharge for vegan milk alternatives. “When will you stop raking in huge profits while customers, animals and the environment suffer?” he demanded as fellow activists streamed the protest on Facebook. Cromwell glued his hand to the counter, then later used a knife to scrape it off. Police said there were no arrests. Starbucks outlets in the United States charge 50 cents to a dollar more for drinks made with plant-based milks. “Customers can customize any beverage on the menu with a non-dairy milk, including soy milk, coconut milk, almond milk, and oat milk for an additional cost (similar to other beverage customizations such as an additional espresso shot or syrup)," a Starbucks spokesperson said in a statement. “Pricing varies market by market.” The spokesperson said Starbucks respects customers' right to voice their opinions “so long as it does not disrupt our store operations.” Cromwell, nominated for an Academy Award for his role as the farmer in “Babe,” is a veteran protester who was charged with trespassing in 2017 for interrupting an orca show at SeaWorld in San Diego.

On this episode, film archivist and adult-movie enthusiast Justin LaLiberty (of Vinegar Syndrome) unleashes the Dogg for his four Letterboxd faves: Showdown in Little Tokyo; Bones; Breathless (the Richard Gere remake); and SexWorld. We also discuss the wildly underrated action star Dolph Lundren, the wildly underrated director Ernest R. Dickerson, why it's stupid that remakes get a bad rap, the experience of seeing Cronenberg's Crash far too young, working in video stores and movie theaters, Justin's recent curatorial work on Letterboxd's adult titles, and—again!—why Babe: Pig in the City is a five-star film.

In our penultimate episode of our first season of The Celluloid Mirror Nicole and Sean invite their good friend cinematographer Yessica Curiel Montoya to discuss two George Miller classics: Mad Max: Fury Road and Babe: Pig in the City. Yessica is an experienced DP with an extensive background as a gaffer for independent features, documentaries, and commercials. Her work as cinematographer has screened in film festivals around the world, and received a Kodak Eastman Award in 2014. She's a Mexican immigrant, and a proud Harlem resident in New York City. ​ What do Pig in the City and Fury Road have in common? They are both sequels to hit films that feature colons but no numbers in their official titles. They are also both directed by George Miller. We believe they share many thematic and stylistic elements and constitute Miller's two finest films. We discuss how both approach anti-authoritarian themes and issues around being sequels to popular films.

Believe it or not, the fantastical BABE: PIG IN THE CITY is the "favorite" movie of screenwriter, director, creative producer and former VP of the sadly now-defunct, sensational viral video factory Super Deluxe Scott Keiner (like many, Scott has a hell of a time choosing a "favorite" flick, but counts this George Miller gem among his favorites). Thanks so much to turning us onto this one, Scott... it truly is, as advertised, "criminally underrated!"

This week on the Total Movie Recall Holiday Special, Steve and Ryan visit the mopey, gothy early 90s when Generation X looked to the high school Gloom King Tim Burton to express their so dark vision of Christmas. Stop motion animation is such a labor intensive craft that creates beautiful visions that aren't all that interesting, which is going to enrage a bunch of high school Wiccans that love this movie. It does look great, though. Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) d. Henry Selick Starring: Danny Elfman Chris Sarandon Catherine O'Hara William Hickey Paul Reubens The film follows the misadventures of Jack Skellington, Halloweentown's beloved pumpkin king, who has become bored with the same annual routine of frightening people in the "real world." When Jack accidentally stumbles on Christmastown, all bright colors and warm spirits, he gets a new lease on life -- he plots to bring Christmas under his control by kidnapping Santa Claus and taking over the role. But Jack soon discovers even the best-laid plans of mice and skeleton men can go seriously awry.

This week on Total Movie Recall, we watched the Sophie's Choice of talking pig movies — Babe: Pig in the City. You might remember it as a sweet children's fantasy movie about cute talking animals, but that's just your brain trying to protect you from the harrowing nightmare that is this film. Dogs are hung from chains and drowned in front of us. Crippled Jack Russell Terriers are killed and teased with the sweet release from their worldly limitations, only to be cruelly pulled back into their wheelchair prison. Ryan and Steve started this movie as boys, but left it as men. Depressed, traumatized men. Babe: Pig in the City (1998) d. George Miller Starring: Magda Szubanski Elizabeth Daily Mickey Rooney  James Cromwell Mary Stein When Babe accidentally puts farmer Hoggett (James Cromwell) in traction, the debtors come looking for their payments. In order to pay their debt, Mrs. Hoggett (Magda Szubanski) sends Babe off across the ocean to the city to demonstrate his talents as a sheep herder.
