Podcasts about Baron Munchausen

Terry Gilliam is one of the world's most imaginative and original directors. He first made his mark more than 50 years ago, with the animated opening sequence of Monty Python's Flying Circus, when a giant foot stomped on the titles with a burst of flatulence. That spirit of mischief, fun and creative adventure has informed many of his films: they include Time Bandits, Brazil, The Fisher King and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, working with stars such as Matt Damon, Uma Thurman, Brad Pitt and Robin Williams. He'd be the first to admit that life as a film maker can be complicated: he's faced natural disasters, budget overruns and clashes with studio executives. But he has no plans to retire: now in his 85th year he's working on a new film called Carnival at the End of Days starring Johnny Depp as Satan and Jeff Bridges as God.Terry's list of musical passions includes Richard Strauss, Berlioz and Delius.

On this episode of The Snub Club, the party talks about 1989's The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. Directed by Terry Gilliam and starring John Neville, Sarah Polley, and Uma Thurman, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen was nominated for four Academy Awards but lost everything. In this episode, Sarah, Danny, and Caleb discuss safety for child actors, Robin Williams, and Monty Python's humor.   The Snub Club is a biweekly podcast about cinema history where we discuss the film from every year's Academy Awards with the most nominations but no wins.

From the mind of Terry Gilliam, comes a historical fantasy adventure where an old heroic man must take flight from a city under siege to find his old heroic friends to perform one last adventure. The film explores ideas of imagination, aging, death, and whimsical storytelling. The Adventures of Baron Munchausen goes down as a hidden gem of a movie that otherwise could have easily gone unnoticed in the Travolting saga.

Elwood and Stephen look at Karel Zeman's "The Fabulous Baron Munchausen" a key inspiration for Monty Python's Terry Gilliam as astronaut Tommy lands on the moon only to find that Munchausen has beaten him to it and so begins a series of fantastical adventures which will take the pair into the belly of a whale aswell as the Baron taking a ride on a cannonball in this visually creative fantasy.

Kids Abused By Parents To The Extreme, Medically. He is an Accidental Expert in Investigating Munchausen by Proxy. Detective Michael Weber's journey into MBP investigations began unintentionally. During the latter part of his career, he was assigned to child abuse cases, including those related to MBP. Over the years, Weber has investigated more than 50 medical abuse cases, leading to 13 convictions, with several more pending trial. His work has earned him national recognition and allowed him to contribute extensively to professional publications, guidelines. He talks about investigations and more as a guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show, which is available as a free podcast on their website on platforms like Apple, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. The relationship between parent and child is often thought of as one of the most fundamental bonds, built on trust, protection, and love. But in a disturbing subset of cases, this bond is manipulated and weaponized through a condition known as Munchausen by Proxy (MBP) or Factitious Disorder Imposed on Another (FDIA). MBP is a severe form of abuse where a caregiver, typically a mother, deliberately makes their child sick to gain attention or sympathy. This behavior not only threatens the child's life but also exposes the dark and twisted motives of the parent involved.  Understanding Munchausen by Proxy The term "Munchausen by Proxy" might be familiar, but there remains much confusion about its causes and manifestations. Named after Baron Munchausen, an 18th-century nobleman known for exaggerating his adventures, MBP was first identified as a form of child abuse decades ago. In these cases, a parent or caregiver may fake or even induce symptoms in their child to keep them in a constant cycle of medical treatment, capturing the attention of doctors, family, and the community. Kids Abused By Parents To The Extreme, Medically. He is an Accidental Expert in Investigating Munchausen by Proxy. Check out the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. These cases are often sensationalized in the media and can spread quickly on platforms like Facebook and Instagram, as news of these unthinkable acts shakes the public's trust in the seemingly sacred bond between parent and child. Detective Michael Weber, a Texas investigator, has become an accidental expert in MBP cases, having spent decades investigating crimes against children. Through his career, Weber has encountered numerous cases where parents have manipulated medical professionals and deceived entire communities. In collaboration with author Andrea Dunlop, Weber co-authored "The Mother Next Door", a book that pulls back the curtain on MBP. Through detailed storytelling, they recount three high-stakes MBP investigations, revealing the unsettling psychological and cultural complexities that underlie this form of abuse. We covered his story in platforms like Medium and Newsbreak. Jesika Jones and Hope Ybarra: Two Disturbing Cases Two of Weber's cases illustrate the extremes to which MBP can escalate. The first involves Jesika Jones, who was sentenced to 60 years in prison after poisoning her own children with over-the-counter medication. Jones's manipulations were so convincing that even her husband, Derek, was fooled into believing their children had epilepsy. Jones was eventually caught after medical staff became suspicious, leading to a full investigation and her confession to Weber. Even while awaiting trial, Jones reportedly sought new victims by befriending men with young children. Kids Abused By Parents To The Extreme, Medically.  Another notable case involved Hope Ybarra, who falsely claimed to be suffering from multiple cancers while subjecting her children to unnecessary treatments and even planning her own "death" for sympathy. The elaborate web of lies unraveled only when her mother, Susan, discovered that Ybarra had no medical records to support her supposed illnesses. The interview with him is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. How MBP Deceives and Destroys Lives In cases like these, the perpetrators are often highly manipulative, successfully deceiving healthcare providers, family members, and friends. Despite understanding that they are causing harm, these parents are often driven by underlying psychological issues and a desire for attention that outweighs their moral sense of right and wrong. MBP cases are typically treated as severe abuse cases due to their high mortality rates, with studies showing that between 6% and 10% of victims die as a result. The psychological dynamics of MBP are complex, and there are still gaps in public understanding and treatment options. Parents with MBP typically deny any wrongdoing, which can make it challenging to prosecute them and protect their children. Keep informed by following the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, MeWe, Pinterest, Newsbreak, Medium and other social media platforms. Spreading Awareness and Educating the Public Through platforms like Medium, Newsbreak, and a growing number of true-crime podcasts, the public is gaining a better understanding of MBP and its impact. Stories from cases like those of Jones and Ybarra reach millions, shedding light on this misunderstood form of abuse. The podcast *Nobody Should Believe Me*, co-hosted by Detective Weber, dives into these real-life cases, blending investigative journalism with expert commentary to expose the tragic realities of MBP. Kids Abused By Parents To The Extreme. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. By leveraging digital media, experts like Weber are pushing for better awareness and prevention measures, calling for medical professionals, social workers, and the general public to understand the signs of MBP. Platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify make these stories more accessible, allowing listeners to become informed and vigilant.  A Call for Vigilance As cases like those of Jesika Jones and Hope Ybarra show, MBP is not just a psychological disorder but a crime that leaves real victims in its wake. The pain, confusion, and mistrust it creates can scar children and families for life. Through better awareness and education, society can take steps to protect vulnerable children and prevent MBP cases from unfolding undetected. Kids Abused By Parents. Be sure to follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. Detective Weber's work reminds us of the importance of vigilance in the face of unusual or unexplained illnesses in children, as well as the responsibility that medical professionals and communities have in protecting children. As stories of extreme parental abuse continue to surface, platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Newsbreak, Medium, and true-crime podcasts provide critical avenues for public education, ensuring that more people understand MBP and the steps they can take to report and stop it.

"Trust madame, your underwear is in good hands." This week is all about cult films, specifically the cult films of director Terry Gilliam as we are joined by our friend Charley McMullen to talk about The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.

It's Popzara's Movie Time! Podcast, where our in-house movie nerds Ethan Brehm and Nate Evans take you on an unscripted journey yakking and chatting about some of their favorite movie moments and cinematic scenes, from past and present, presented without snark and snobbery for your listening pleasure. On deck for this episode are two entries in Terry Gilliam's “Trilogy of Imagination”, the other being 1985's Brazil, that showcase what happens when absolute imagination is met with absolute ambition, a surefire recipe for disaster - and often something wonderful. First up is 1981's Time Bandits, which has the distinction of being the only “children's film” with executions, severed limbs, exploding parents (and exploding dogs). Gilliam presents an entirely original time-traveling comedy with inspired performances, dazzling effects, and just a touch of classic Monty Python humor that appeals to kids and adults alike, despite a fractured narrative with more holes in it than any map of the universe. Next is 1988's The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, a lavishly produced spectacle of fever dream storytelling just as famous for its off-screen spectacle as it has for what's on screen. A triumph of visual and aural absurdity, Gilliam's adaptation of the beloved German fable featuring perhaps the most unreliable narrator in literature can finally be viewed on its own considerable merits. And what lovely merits they are! Our hosts tackle both films with aplomb, discussing how sometimes style does triumph over substance, how Terry Gilliam may be the living embodiment of Auteur Theory, how both films skilly hide their megastar cameos (Sean Connery and Robin Williams), favorable comparisons to both 1939's Wizard of Oz and Spielberg's Hook, and the sad reality of how Hollywood has been replacing talented dwarf actors with CGI effects instead of hiring the real thing.

It's our 300th episode! That's important to us, anyway, so we are celebrating with an extra whiz-bang extravaganza. It's a 90-minute episode of "The Big Show," the audio showcase of the most popular entertainers from 1951. We are calling this a tribute to Vaudeville, because this particular episode also features several hilarious comedy teams from the days of Vaudeville, brought out of retirement to recreate their acts, including "Smith and Dale," and "Baron Munchausen and Sharlie."

Our heroes get thrown into a land of magic and child trauma.

The word is breakfast and the nerds talk at length about their favorite breakfast foods, with particular focus on their favorite breakfast cereals. Then Keith talks about his most recent adventures, including running games at back-to-back conventions and the upcoming kickstarter for his new game, Glim. Then Andy reports on his recent trip to MidSouthCon. Other topics include Baron Munchausen, Tennessee Tuxedo, and Six Sides of Gaming.

This week's is designer of Once Upon A Time, Baron Munchausen and owner of Hogshead Publishing, James Wallis. We talk about the frame work of RPGs, the murky world of game publishing and Britain on the tabletop...but which games did he choose? Support the show hereBouba Kiki KickstarterBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/five-games-for-doomsday--5631121/support.

Transcript This week's cohost is James Wallis, cohost of the Ludonarrative Dissidents podcast, a show a lot like this one that's Kickstarting their third season now, and designer of one of the first story games: The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen. Today we're breaking format: instead of talking about one game mechanic, James brought in the concept of innovation in game design. What does it look like, is it important, and how can we do more of it? The show notes for this one are friggin packed.

Factitious Disorder, a complex mental health condition, stands as a testament to the intricate and often perplexing nature of human psychology. It's a condition where a person deliberately and artificially induces or fabricates symptoms of illness in themselves. Historically, this disorder has been known by various names, most notably as Munchausen Syndrome, named after Baron Munchausen, an Eighteenth century German nobleman known for his penchant for fantastical stories.

So. Many. Questions....A fantasy romp that wasn't allowed to credit Robin Williams because his agents didn't want his named to be used to "pimp their film". This was a wild, wonky, donkey ride of epic proportions. Not sure if we are recommending it or just want you to see it so we can ask you our questions.Amazing set design and the always amazing Uma Thurman bring this story more gravitas than we expected. 

This week on Vintage Classic Radio's "Sunday Night Playhouse," we journey back to the golden era of radio with a special presentation of "Ziegfeld Follies of the Air 1936," originally broadcasted by Lux Radio Theatre on February 29, 1936. This radio play, an adaptation of the illustrious stage show created by Florenz Ziegfeld, captures the essence of 1930s entertainment and brings it to life for modern audiences. The Ziegfeld Follies, a hallmark of American entertainment, transitioned from the stage to the airwaves during the 1930s, thanks to CBS Radio. This adaptation, a blend of music, comedy, and drama, was part of a series that aired as a tribute to Florenz Ziegfeld after his passing in 1932. The radio adaptation, authored by the talented team at Lux Radio Theatre, keeps the spirit of Ziegfeld's vision alive, infusing each episode with the glamour and allure of the original stage shows. Hosted by Eddie Dowling and featuring the musical direction of Al Goodman, this episode showcases a stunning array of talent. Notable performances include Fanny Brice, bringing her comedic genius in the role of Baby Snooks; Helen Morgan, with her enchanting vocal performances; and Jack Pearl, who introduces the audience to the humorous character of "Baron Munchausen." The episode also stars Will Rogers, delivering his trademark wit, and a rare radio appearance by Ziegfeld himself. The cast list for this memorable broadcast includes: Eddie Dowling as the Host Al Goodman leading the Orchestra Fanny Brice as Baby Snooks Helen Morgan in various musical numbers Jack Pearl as Baron Munchausen Will Rogers in comedic monologues Florenz Ziegfeld in a special appearance Other notable guests include Patty Chapin, James Melton, and Benny Fields, each adding their unique flair to this historic broadcast. "Ziegfeld Follies of the Air 1936" is a rare gem, a glimpse into the past when radio reigned supreme. Few episodes of this series survive, making this broadcast a precious piece of entertainment history. Tune in to Vintage Classic Radio this Sunday for an unforgettable trip down memory lane, celebrating the legacy of one of America's greatest showmen, Florenz Ziegfeld.

A Little Girl's Dream:  Terry Gilliam's Tideland Troubled throughout his career for circumstances - oftentimes - beyond his control (inadequate budgets - Munchausen, studio interference - Brazil and The Brothers Grimm, flash floods - Quixote, and death - Parnassus), Terry Gilliam has somehow been able to create some of the most incredible images ever committed to the big screen. From the great adventures of Baron Munchausen through an abandoned Philadelphia future overrun by wild animals, into an acid trip vision of 1970s Las Vegas, Gilliam is responsible for creating magic on screen that can only be described by his own adjective - Gilliamesque. With his 2005 look into the life of a nine-year old girl, Jelizah-Rose (Jodelle Ferland), orphaned and left to survive in an abandoned home on the Texas plains, Gilliam began a strange and interesting late career struggle for understanding. The films definitely changed. Pulling strongly from Lewis Carrol's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, at 64 Gilliam created one of the most difficult and polarizing films of his career. (According to Gilliam, fellow Python, Michael Palin, called the film - either the greatest thing he has ever done, or the worst.) The fact is that polarizing and difficult films are the films that need to be looked at, examined, and talked about. That's all we're really trying to do with this (and every one of our) episode(s).

The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen

In our efforts to add some more variety to the show, Jack leads us on a whirlwind historical tour through the directorial works of acclaimed Monty Python member Terry Gilliam and his likely unprecedented run of just absolutely horrendous luck. We cover his entire non-Python feature filmography: Jabberwocky (1977) Time Bandits (1981) Brazil (1985) The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988) The Fisher King (1991) 12 Monkeys (1995) Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas (1998) The Brothers Grimm (2005) Tideland (2005) The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) The Zero Theorem (2013) The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (2018) Jack tries to get through all of this while trying to outrun his birthday hangover. We cover how not to watch Brazil, the impact of the Civil Rights Movement on Gilliam and likely an entire generation of poli-sci majors, the use of "gorilla" versus "guerilla," Gilliam's weaponization of the press and the consequences of his own actions, the importance of perspective when you're told you made someone feel unsafe, when a producer becomes a PROBLEM and why you should always get things in writing, the impact and loss of the massive talents of Robin Williams and Heath Ledger, the importance of context with focus groups, further evidence that horses are awful, a tangent about great WWE matches between the Undertaker and Mankind, the goddamn Weinstein Brothers, Matt Damon and whether or not he just has a thing for nose prosthetics, the invention of the "Dress Pattern Makers" film credit, Joe's favorite cheese, Gilliam's political inconsistencies in the face of the Me Too movement, an unexpected rant about Scientology, and the absolutely maddening events that lead to the documentary Lost In La Mancha (2002) and how none of that could account for the influence/interference of producer Paolo Branco. We also delve into some of our own film set misfortunes in our time as Ramming Speed Pictures. Take a seat away from any ladders or easily-breakable mirrors and enjoy this wild ride. Who knows, maybe one of these films will go just swimmingly! CW: Full spoilers for Brazil, descriptions of alleged unsafe working conditions and child endangerment, sexism, misogyny, discussion of the sexual assaults committed by Harvey Weinstein, mention of the deaths of Robin Williams, Heath Ledger, and Hunter S.

This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we're talking to James Wallis about his forthcoming book Everybody Wins. It's a fantastic book that charts the recent history of board games through the lens of the forty-three winners of the German Spiel des Jahres (Game of the Year) award, from 1979 to 2022. We also talk a little bit about RPGs as well — how could we not, as James was behind Hogshead Publishing and their New Style series of RPGs (we're going to have him back to talk at length about The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen, promise). * * * Everybody Wins is in stores on March 14 — pre-order it now on Amazon (and pretty much everywhere else, too). You can also check out the Everybody Wins Podcast. James has a couple other audio/visual projects of interest. Ludonarrative Dissidents, with Greg Stolze and Ross Payton, is a podcast that looks at a different RPG every episode, while Inside the Rookery, is a weekly stream on RPG and storytelling in geek spaces.  You can further interface with James on Twitter, on Mastodon, through his outdated website or on Drive-Thru.

Writer-director Sarah Polley had a successful career as a child actor. By eight, she had appeared in several TV series and films and was cast to play Sally Salt in the notorious “The Adventures of Baron Munchausen,” Terry Gilliam's adventure fantasy film. While Polley's family was thrilled about it, she recalls an out-of-control production, with “unsafe and scary situations” on set.

Listen in this week to hear us try to coherently discuss a movie about your wacky, perhaps irredeemable grandpa, who won't shut up about his past adventures that seem really cringe from a modern lens. He also keeps threatening to die if no one will pay attention to him, but you unfortunately really need his help to distract your problematic uncle that tries to take over every family gathering. That's the general vibe of this incoherent and problematic film, but one that is whimsical and hopeful at the same time. We end up with feelings that are just as ambivalent as the messaging of this film is inconsistent! So please do join us for this listening journey!

Jared, Oriana and Ned start the new year with Ned's choice of topic: the short children's works Roverandom and Mr. Bliss. Tolkien has been described as a children's author both with praise and disparagement over time, but a more accurate way to put it is that while he was busy working on his cycle of early Middle-earth stories with its high drama and tragedy in the 1920s and 1930s, he was also a loving father to four young children who often made up many stories and tales for them. The Hobbit itself has strong roots in this activity but whether it's the Father Christmas letters, the original Tom Bombadil stories, the early versions of Farmer Giles of Ham or more besides, it's a large creative part of his work in those decades. After The Hobbit was accepted for publication, Tolkien provided the manuscripts for, among other submissions, the stories Roverandom and Mr. Bliss for consideration, though the success of The Hobbit and the request for a sequel led him down other paths, with the two stories receiving separate posthumous publication instead. Is there ultimately anything more to Mr. Bliss than a series of random happenings that the titular character barely seems to be at the center of a lot of the time? How does Roverandom work in notable contrast to Mr. Bliss, with its deeper emotions as much as it has a sense of playful satire? How well does Tolkien's art for both stories achieve a distinct resonance and beauty? And who wouldn't want to get a newspaper called Ocean Notions, perhaps most applicable these days if you live in a pineapple under the sea?SHOW NOTES.Jared's doodle – a beautiful and striking moment from an equally striking story.Join the Megaphonic Patreon!

On Thursday May 24th, the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will present a review and commentary on the Hypnerotomachia of Poliphili (1499-1999) translated by Joscelyn Godwin. This is one of the most important esoteric books ever published and five hundred years after its debut in Renaissance Italy in 1499, written in stylistic Italian, it finally became available in a readable English translation by Joscelyn Godwin. The Hypnerotomachia of Poliphili, subtitled "The Strife of Life in a Dream" is a romantic fantasy novel which establishes a template for many similar works to emerge in the five centuries following its initial publication: The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosencreutz (1616) The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1785) The Wizard of Oz (1900) The Club Dumas (1996) filmed as "The Ninth Gate" (1999) and the novel "The Rule of Four" (2004). The real secrets hidden in the book are not cryptic codes but rather allegorical and thematic. Like the one tale in the Arabian Nights that reveals occult and Magical secrets, the Chapter describing the Isle of Venus near the end of the book carries the true meaning and reveals the esoteric secrets. So if you want to learn what is really hidden in this marvelous old book tune in and we will visit Poliphili's magical dream-world.

This week on A Special Place in Hell, the girls/women spend way too much time on names. Are you a racist for mispronouncing Nimrata Nikki Randhawa? (Yes). Is the aforementioned a white supremacist for changing her name to Nikki Haley? (Yes). Should Meghan become Meghan X Daum? (Definitely). Why did George W. Bush call his wife “Bushie”? (Unclear). The girls/women then move on to a lighter topic: the new guidelines announced at the recent World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) annual meeting, which contain protocols for gender-affirming surgeries on minors and, at long last, recognize a new protected identity, “eunuch.” Fully aware that they have not covered the topic of g*nder nearly enough on the podcast, they make up for lost time by going down a number of fetid rabbit holes exploring a number of avenues, including Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria, the televised gender journey of Jazz Jennings, and mothers with Munchausen by proxy syndrome. The last item leads them to their second favorite activity after talking about g****r—blaming women for societal ills.

Sarah Polley is a storyteller – and a remarkable one. Whether as a precocious child actor in Road to Avonlea and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, as a documentarian unpacking her family history in Stories We Tell or as screenwriter and director of the Academy Award-nominated Away From Her, Polley is adept at portraying complex and honest depictions of humanity.And now, she is the author of a revealing and insightful collection of essays, Run Towards the Danger: Confrontations with a Body of Memory. The book pulls together reflections from challenging chapters in her life and career that explore how a change in approach can provide a path forward. Polley joins guest host Talia Schlanger for a candid and revelatory conversation that goes deep into Polley's decision to pivot from a successful actor to writing and directing, to the difficulties she experienced working in Hollywood and the decision to step forward with her own #MeToo story.
