In this episode, hosts Cam & Dylan take a deep dive into the cinematic colossus that is Ben-Hur (1959) — the epic historical drama that defined an era of filmmaking. From chariot races to betrayal, vengeance to redemption, the guys break down what made this film a monumental achievement in Hollywood history. Directed by William Wyler and starring Charlton Heston, Ben-Hur swept the Oscars with a record-setting 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. Based on the 1880 novel by Lew Wallace, the film tells the powerful story of Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish prince betrayed by his Roman friend and forced into slavery, only to seek revenge and find spiritual awakening in the time of Christ. Cam & Dylan go beyond the surface with their signature mix of hot takes, humor, and behind-the-scenes trivia. Whether you're a fan of old-school epics or just love hearing passionate movie talk, this one's got xtra butta all over it.

La tertulia con Fernando Guillén Cuervo, Andrés Aberasturi y José Luis Garci, comienza explorando la representación de la vida y pasión de Jesucristo en el cine, desde clásicos como Ben-Hur hasta series actuales como The Chosen. Se discute cómo estas representaciones no solo mantienen su relevancia religiosa, sino que también se han convertido en un fenómeno cultural e histórico.El segundo tema se centra en Pilar Miró, una pionera del cine y la televisión en España, quien desafió las normas de su época al convertirse en la primera mujer en ocupar altos cargos en un mundo cinematográfico dominado por hombres. Su legado y su contribución a RTVE siguen siendo un hito en la historia del audiovisual español.Por último, la tertulia reflexiona sobre Cantinflas, el "rey del humor", cuya capacidad para hacer reír mientras denunciaba injusticias sociales le convirtió en un personaje universalmente querido.

Die Schlacht von Lincoln ist geschlagen; doch der Krieg tobt weiter: Gesetzlose regieren, Billy the Kid steigt zu eine Anführer auf - und ein geplatzter Deal droht, New Mexico endgültig ins Chaos zu stürzen. Mit dem Ende der viertägigen Schlacht von Lincoln steht "The House" zerschlagen da, während ihr Widersacher Alexander McSween tot und die Regulatoren führungslos zurückbleiben. Doch ein Ende des Kriegs in Lincoln County steht nicht in Sicht. Statt dessen regiert die Anarchie: Gesetzlose mit Sheriff-Sternen ziehen raubend und plündernd durchs County, Vigilanten greifen gegen andere Vigilanten - und der erst 19-jähriger William Bonney schafft es, die verbliebenen "Eisernen" Regulatoren um sich zu scharen, um einen verlorenen Kampf weiter aufrecht zu erhalten. Die Bevölkerung hat das Vertrauen in Ordnungshüter und Regierung verloren: Weder Sheriff und Bundesmarshall noch Kavallerie oder Governeur schaffen es, einem Monate andauernden Morden und Plündern Einhalt zu gebieten. Schließlich greift US-Präsident Hayes persönlich ein: Sam Axtell wird entlassen, ein statt dessen soll Lew Wallace als neuer Gouverneur für Ordnung sorgen. Tatsächlich schafft es dieser mit drastischen Maßnahmen, wieder Ruhe einkehren zu lassen. Doch der Friedensplan droht auseinanderzubrechen, noch ehe er richtig beschlossen ist: Ein Anwalt wird ermordet, geheime Deals werden geschlossen, dubiose Urteile werden gefällt - und als Billy the Kid aus Lincoln reitet, sollte er der meistgesuchte Mann im gesamten Territorium von New Mexico werden. 00:53 - Nach der Schlacht von Lincoln: Plünderei und Machtmissbrauch 05:15 - Die Reste der Regulators: Billy the Kid übernimmt das Kommando 09:11 - Anarchie in Lincoln County: Jeder gegen Jeden 10:57 - Selman's Scouts und die "Rustlers": Ruchlose Gesetzlosigkeit 12:47 - 4.

Jaume Segalés y su equipo hablan de cine clásico, del proyecto In3ator y de robos en Valdemoro. Hoy en Km0, tras repasar la actualidad informativa y deportiva, profundizamos en los siguientes asuntos: Incubadoras soIidarias In3ator Un proyecto muy especial que ha sido galardonado con el "Premio Princesa de Girona Social 2025". El jurado ha valorado el profundo compromiso social de su creador al aplicar el conocimiento y la innovación al servicio de la humanidad. Hablamos de la incubadora de bajo coste In3ator. Entrevistamos al artífice de este logro, el joven ingeniero navarro Pablo Sánchez Bergasa, fundador y director de la ONG Medicina Abierta al Mundo, a través de la cuál lleva fabricando y haciendo llegar, desde hace siete años, las cunas neonatales (de bajo coste, plegables y de código abierto que ha diseñado y desarrollado) a una treintena de países con bajos recursos. Lugares en los que, según entidades como la Organización Mundial de la Salud sólo uno de cada diez bebés extremadamente prematuros (nacidos con menos de 28 semanas de gestación) logra sobrevivir. En las naciones ricas lo consiguen al menos nueve. En España, las incubadoras tienen un coste medio de unos 35.000 euros. Las de Medicina Abierta al Mundo reducen su precio hasta 350 euros, 100 veces menos. Robos en el campo de fútbol de Valdemoro El fútbol base está indignado y alarmado por los robos que están teniendo lugar en el barrio de El Prado de Valdemoro. Hechos han sido denunciados a la Guardia Civil. Es el segundo robo, en un mes, que se produce en el vestuario visitante de los campos del barrio de El Prado en partidos contra el equipo Escuela de Fútbol de Valdemoro C. Los primeros jugadores en sufrirlo, en febrero, fueron los juveniles del Trival Valderas de Alcorcón y, los segundos en lamentar un saqueo prácticamente idéntico, han sido, este pasado domingo 23 de marzo, los chavales del juvenil C del Ciudad de Pinto. En ambas ocasiones, los robos se produjeron en los vestuarios del equipo visitante alrededor de las 13:00 horas mientras se disputaban los partidos, momento en el que los ladrones aprovecharon para reventar los candados con cizallas y sustraer móviles y carteras de los jóvenes deportistas. El Ayuntamiento de Valdemoroderiva la responsabilidad a los equipos a los que ceden las instalaciones municipales mientras que el equipo afirma no haber sacado aún nada en claro. Entrevistamos a Javier Melones, integrante de la directiva del club de fútbol Ciudad de Pinto. Sección de cine clásico "Es sesión continua" Antolín de la Torre hoy nos habla sobre Escuela de sirenas (Bathing Beauty). Comedia romántica musical estadounidense de 1944 dirigida por George Sidney y protagonizada por Esther Williams, quien fue presentada por primera vez en un papel estelar, y que a partir de entonces fue conocida como la sirena de América (aunque había protagonizado películas antes, esta fue su primera superproducción en Technicolor). La utilización de coreografías acuáticas hizo que la película se convirtiese enseguida en un referente muy popular (el tercer éxito de taquilla del estudio, tras Ben-Hur de 1925 y Lo que el viento se llevó de 1939), inaugurando un subgénero de cine musical cuyo escenario era la piscina. Colaboró musicalmente Xavier Cugat.

Two books set in Hollywood show different sides of the film business, from industry-shaping success to the personal frustration of rejection. First, Louis B. Mayer & Irving Thalberg: The Whole Equation is a history of the duo behind MGM Film. The nonfiction book by Kenneth Turan, a regular critic for the Los Angeles Times and NPR, follows the unlikely trajectory that led both men to the movies. In today's episode, Turan joins NPR's Scott Simon for a conversation that touches on early MGM films like Ben-Hur and Tarzan the Ape Man, antisemitism in Hollywood, and Mayer's complicated relationship with Judy Garland. Then, Simon speaks with British actor Rupert Everett, who's out with a new collection of short stories inspired by Hollywood rejection. The American No draws from film concepts and screenplays the actor pitched but never got the chance to make. In today's episode, he and Simon discuss Everett's autobiographical writing, his upbringing in a military family, and his early exposure to Julie Andrews.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Over the past near-century, Academy Award categories have come and gone. In the silent film era there was an award for Best Title Writing. You know, the written cards that summarized the “dialogue”? Oscar worthy. This year's 96th Academy Awards broadcast saw Oscars handed out in a whopping 23 different categories, from the big wins like Best Picture, to awards for behind-the-scenes expertise in costuming and score. But one group of people thinks there should be yet another added to that list: best stunts. Stunt actors are real life action heroes behind the biggest movies, but it's unlikely we know their names and faces, at least not if they're doing their jobs right. They risk life and limb to bring films to life. The chariot race in Ben-Hur? The entire Fast and Furious franchise? None of them would be possible without stunt coordinators and performers. On this week's Storylines, Joan Webber tells the story of a decades-long effort to get stunt workers their Oscar due.Produced by Joan Webber. Story editing by Julia Pagel.  This documentary first aired on Storylines back in April of 2024.Storylines is part of the CBC Audio Doc Unit

Dana and Tom with 5x Club guest, Peterson W.

As he navigates lavish parties, fleeting romances, and existential crises, the film explores themes of decadence, disillusionment, and the search for purpose in a world consumed by hedonism. The film's iconic imagery, including Anita Ekberg's midnight wade in the Trevi Fountain, cements its status as a cinematic masterpiece and a poignant reflection on modern life.Guest:Peterson W.

Epic films. Lawrence of Arabia, Ben Hur, Braveheart, the list goes on. Cinema history is filled with long, sweeping epic films that have mastered the art of storytelling on the largest scale. In 2024, Brady Corbet's The Brutalist released, vying for a spot in the pantheon of celebrated film epics, a spot that has not been filled in some time as these types of films seemingly become rarer each year.   The question is, did Brady Corbet accomplish his goal of creating a modern epic about a Hungarian refugee who lands in America in the aftermath of WWII. Starring Adrien Brody, Guy Pearce, Felicity Jones, and other fantastic actors, it would seem the cast is more than up to the task.

Over the years, it's provided a backdrop for countless films and novels, each of which has put forward its own vision of the Empire and what it stood for. The hosts Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss the latest entry in that canon, Ridley Scott's “Gladiator II,” which has drawn massive audiences and made hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office. The hosts also consider other texts that use the same setting, from the religious epic “Ben-Hur” to Sondheim's farcical swords-and-sandals parody, “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.” Recently, figures from across the political spectrum have leapt to lay claim to antiquity, even as new translations have underscored how little we really understand about these civilizations. “Make ancient Rome strange again. Take away the analogies,” Schwartz says. “Maybe that's the appeal of the classics: to try to keep returning and understanding, even as we can't help holding them up as a mirror.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Gladiator II” (2024)“I, Claudius” (1976)“A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” (1966)“The Last Temptation of Christ” (1988)“Monty Python's Life of Brian” (1979)“Cleopatra” (1963)“Spartacus” (1960)“Ben-Hur” (1959)“Gladiator” (2000)“The End of History and the Last Man,” by Francis Fukuyama“I, Claudius,” by Robert Graves“I Hate to Say This, But Men Deserve Better Than Gladiator II,” by Alison Willmore (Vulture)“On Creating a Usable Past,” by Van Wyck Brook (The Dial)Emily Wilson's translations of the Odyssey and the IliadNew episodes drop every Thursday.

Jack Huston has established himself as a versatile talent in film, television, and theater, excelling both in front of and behind the camera. He's been in shows and films like BEN-HUR, BOARDWALK EMPIRE, and AMERICAN HUSTLE. His directorial debut, DAY OF THE FIGHT, which he also wrote and co-produced, stars Michael Pitt, Ron Perlman, Steve Buscemi, and Joe Pesci. The film explores a boxer's journey through his past and present on the day of his comeback fight.
