Jurandir Filho, Thiago Siqueira, Fernanda Schmölz e Gnu batem um papo sobre algumas cenas e franquias que mudaram o cinema de ação. Esse tipo de filme sempre teve um papel fundamental na indústria cinematográfica. Desde os primeiros filmes de aventura com perseguições em carroças e duelos de espadas, até os blockbusters modernos recheados de efeitos especiais e acrobacias insanas, o gênero sempre cativou o público por sua adrenalina, ritmo acelerado e personagens carismáticos. Mais do que entretenimento puro, o cinema de ação tem sido palco de inovações técnicas, mudanças narrativas e marcos culturais que redefiniram o que o público espera ver na tela grande.Ao longo das décadas, algumas cenas de ação se tornaram não apenas memoráveis, mas também transformadoras para a linguagem do cinema. Elas elevaram o padrão da indústria e influenciaram toda uma geração de cineastas. Falamos sobre filmes como "Ben-Hur", "Operação França", "Rambo", "Missão Impossível", "O Exterminador do Futuro", "Matrix", "Mad Max", "Indiana Jones", "Velozes e Furiosos", "John Wick" e muito mais.|| ASSINE O SALA VIP DO RAPADURACAST- Um podcast EXCLUSIVO do RapaduraCast toda semana! http://patreon.com/rapaduracast

In the fourth of five special episodes to celebrate this podcast's 300th episode, focused on J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy epic The Lord of the Rings, and we're diving deep into the epic finale of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Return of the King.The Return of the King had a monumental impact on the film industry, and epic box office success, raking in over $1.1 billion worldwide. The film swept the Academy Awards, winning all 11 nominations, including Best Picture, a feat shared only with Titanic and Ben-Hur. But it's not all awards and box office records; it's an incredible journey of characters we love, breathtaking visual effects, and the unforgettable musical score by Howard Shore, which has left an indelible mark on cinema. This episode also goes into the incredible work by Weta Workshop on the rest of the visual effects, plus the award-winning hair, make-up and prosthetics.Peter Jackson proved unfilmable material was not only filmable, but that he could create a cinematic trilogy masterpiece with an inimitable legacy, that even he himself couldn't match again, but I'll come back to that next episode.This episode is Part 3 of a three-part story, as well as Part 4 of a five-part group of episodes.

Continuamos nuestro viaje por la historia de los Oscar repasando las películas ganadoras a Mejor Película hasta 1985. Un periodo de transición donde el esplendor de superproducciones como Ben-Hur o Lawrence de Arabia dio paso a propuestas más personales y arriesgadas como El padrino, Kramer contra Kramer o Amadeus. También hubo hueco para grandes musicales como West Side Story o Sonrisas y lágrimas. Así que hay para que nuestro director disfrute como un perro chico con su hueso, y para que Ilde nos hable de Wicked... Todos contentos...

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.

Donald Trump, por ejemplo. El presidente de Estados Unidos está preocupado por su precioso pelo. Que, la verdad, para la edad que tiene es verdad que cuenta con una buena mata, el hombre, eso no se lo vamos a negar. Y necesita cuidados, como es natural. Pero hete aquí que la agenda woke otra vez ha intentado interponerse en su camino, con absurdas y antiamericanas restricciones de agua que pretendían, lo sabemos, que Trump acabase con una melena más bien rala y escasa, más propia de sleepy Joe que de él. Qué diferencia con Bernie Sanders, que apenas tiene pelo, y que ahí se ha ido a un festival de música en pleno desierto, con la de agua que gasta eso, para pedir a los jóvenes que la próxima vez no voten a Trump, o al menos no voten, como siempre.  Pero no es Trump el único líder mundial cuyo pelo peligra. Tomemos el caso de Carlos Mazón. El president de la Generalitat ve cómo la jueza roja de Catarroja sigue pretendiendo hacerse con su hermosa cabellera. Y, la verdad, ya está bien de tanta persecución. Sólo porque fuera el máximo responsable de la gestión de la emergencia y estuviera todo el día pasando tampoco es para ponerse así. Sólo porque desapareciera unas cuantas horas haciendo quién sabe qué no es motivo para buscarle las cosquillas al president. Sólo porque estuvieran todo el rato llamándole para explicarle lo que ocurría y quizás preguntarle alguna directriz, qué hacer, por aquello de que es el jefe no es para venir ahora con responsabilidades penales, y no digamos políticas, no computable, circulen, nada que ver.    También nuestras secciones habituales sobre la Liga Hypermotion y el Teniente General Gan Pampols en La Paella Rusa. Y nuestra recomendación cultural de esta semana, por si tanto visionado de Los Diez Mandamientos y Ben Hur le dejan algún margen a nuestro público: "Para toda la humanidad", adictiva serie de Apple TV sobre la carrera espacial en un mundo alternativo al nuestro en el que la cosa no se paró en la Luna.

Patrick tackles big questions about faith and family, from whether full immersion is necessary in baptism, to how to address sensitive family matters during Holy Week. He offers guidance on supporting children in their faith, coping with grief after loss, and meaningful ways to celebrate Easter while honoring the spirit of the Triduum. Sean – Does one need to be fully immersed during Baptism for it to count? (01:43) Diane - How can we tell my daughter that we don't want her boyfriend coming for Easter? (08:57) Rita - Why were there sacrifices in the Old Testament? Where do the litanies come from? (14:12) Daniel (email) – What do you think of the old Ben-Hur film? (17:50) *Alison - What are some things that people with young children can do during Triduum? (19:10) Joseph - Are exorcists taught not to tell clients what goes on during a session? (26:12) Kathleen - Why was Moses not made a Saint? (28:14) Rosemary – My 2-year-old grandson passed away in his sleep. How can I help my daughter deal with her anger towards God?

(41:08) Donna - Easter and Resurrection: how do we explain to young children that suicide is not a way to get to Jesus? (42:33)

Monumentalfilmklassiker wie Ben Hur und El Cid oder der Hitchcock-Thriller Spellbound sind ohne seinen Soundtrack undenkbar. Seine mehrfach Oscar-gekrönte Hollywood-Karriere im Dienst von Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer machte den ungarisch-amerikanischen Komponisten Miklós Rózsa berühmt. Dass er eigentlich viel lieber Werke für den Konzertsaal schrieb, blieb neben dem ganzen Filmrummel lange unbemerkt. Die Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz unter Gregor Bühl legt bereits ihr zweites Rózsa-Album bei "Capriccio" vor. Alexandra Maria Dielitz hat es sich angehört.

What if the Confederacy had captured Washington, D.C.? In this riveting episode of Between the Covers, host Anne Bocock sits down with award-winning historian and author Robert Watson to uncover a little-known but critical moment in American history.Watson's latest book, Rebels at the Gate, explores the Confederates' daring 1864 attempt to seize the U.S. capital—a plot that came dangerously close to success. He takes us inside the dramatic events that unfolded as Confederate General Jubal Early and his army marched toward Washington, how a desperate Lincoln refused to flee, and why a single day's delay may have saved the Union.Discover the shocking details of this near-catastrophe, from a tiny, overlooked national cemetery to the role alcohol played in derailing the Confederate assault. Plus, learn how Union General Lew Wallace—better known as the author of Ben-Hur—made a bold, unauthorized move that may have changed the course of history.Join us for a deep dive into this pivotal but largely forgotten moment in the Civil War.

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

Ramon Novarro achieved his biggest success in 1925 with the silent film version of Ben-Hur. With revealing costumes he became a sex symbol with the film’s release and a Hollywood heartthrob overnight. After Rudolph Valentino’s death in 1926, Novarro became the top Latin actor in Hollywood and was known for his swashbuckler action roles. Considered […]

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. Hill (Co-Host of the War Starts at Midnight podcast) discuss La Dolce Vita (1960) for its 65th anniversary: written and directed by Frederico Fellini with Ennio Flaiano, Tullio Pinelli, Brunello Rondi, and Pier Paolo Pasolini, music by Nino Rota, cinematography by Otello Martelli, starring Marcello Mastroianni, Anita Ekberg, Anouk Aimee, and Yvonne Furneaux.Plot Summary: Set against the glamorous backdrop of Rome in the 1950s, La Dolce Vita follows Marcello Rubini, a jaded journalist, as he drifts through a series of decadent encounters over seven days and nights.Torn between the shallow allure of celebrity culture and his yearning for deeper meaning, Marcello is drawn into the chaotic lives of socialites, artists, and film stars. 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.

We follow up Ben-Hur with another Hollywood epic, 1960's Spartacus directed by Stanley Kubrick. While set in the era of the Roman Republic, the film obliquely tackles many subjects of its era including McCarthyism, communist revolution, and the legacy of slavery. With stand-out performances by Kirk Douglas, Laurence Olivier, and Peter Ustinov, Spartacus delivers an entertaining spectacle whose legacy continued to influence films like Gladiator decades later.

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. In this spoiler-free The Brutalist Review, Cam, Kirk, and their guest, Popcorn for Breakfast Contributor, Stefano, discuss all aspects of the 3.5-hour long film and determine where it stands among 2024 releases as well as the great epics of all time.   Don't forget to share your comments on this film with us on our Discord server (linked below)!   Show Open [00:00] And the Oscar Goes to… [03:59] Scene Stealer [10:17] Show Stopper [16:22] Director's Shoes [22:37] Final Thoughts and Scores [29:24]   Thanks for listening!   Please rate, review, and subscribe if you liked this episode!   For all things Popcorn for Breakfast: https://linktr.ee/popcornforbreakfast   Chat with us on Discord: https://discord.gg/7wGQ4AARWn Follow us on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/popcornforbreakfast Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeVJZwPMrr3_2p171MCP1RQ Follow us on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4HhMxftbuf1oPn10DxPLib?si=2l8dmt0nTcyE7eOwtHrjlw&nd=1 Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/popcorn4breakfast Follow us on Twitter: @pfb_podcast Follow us on Instagram: @pfb_podcast Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@popcornforbreakfast? popcorn4breakfast.com Email us: contact@popcorn4breakfast.com   Our original music is by Rhetoric, check them out on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/44JvjuUomvPdSqZRxxz2Tk?si=hcYoSMLUQ0iPctllftAg2g&nd=1

The Political Scene will be back next week. In the meantime, enjoy a recent episode from The New Yorker's Critics at Large podcast. Artists owe a great debt to ancient Rome. 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.
