This week on Podcast Like It's the 2000s, Emily and Phil are joined by screenwriter and podcast host Clay Keller (@claykeller) to revisit Todd Phillips' Starsky & Hutch (2004), the action comedy that helped cement early 2000s buddy cop nostalgia.As they continue their deep dive into the films of "The Todd's" Haynes, Phillips, Solondz, and Field they examine how Starsky & Hutch fits into the era's obsession with 70s throwbacks, the comedic chemistry of Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, and whether Snoop Dogg's Huggy Bear is the most chill informant in cinematic history.Is this just a goofy relic of its time or a lowkey blueprint for the modern comedy franchise? Let's find out.
In this episode, we welcome Jessica Lee Gagné. Jessica is the cinematographer of the award-winning series, “Severance”. In our chat, she shares about her upbringing, early inspirations, and path to becoming a Director of Photography. She also sheds light on her longtime collaboration with Ben Stiller on both “Escape at Dannemora” and “Severance”. In addition, she talks about the tools and techniques used to capture this groundbreaking series — and offers invaluable advice for filmmakers today.“The Making Of” is presented by AJA:Commercial shoots require speed and precision, which is why Dubai-based freelance editor Nikolay Ivanov depends on AJA's Io 4K Plus for fast, reliable I/O for on set editorial.

This week on the Tower Productions Podcast, the crew unpacks Wes Anderson's The Royal Tenenbaums — a dysfunctional family drama wrapped in pastel suits, deadpan delivery, and perfectly symmetrical shots.
Welcome back to Summer Camp Month on So Many Sequels! This week, we're diving into Disney's Heavyweights (1995), a surprisingly heartfelt and chaotic comedy about kids at a “fat camp,” fitness cults, and one of Ben Stiller's wildest performances.The crew explores the film's mix of slapstick, sincerity, and social awkwardness, questioning whether it holds up nearly 30 years later. We talk about the movie's treatment of body image, the legacy of '90s kid comedies, and how this movie might be a secret prequel to Dodgeball. Plus: early Keenan Thompson, VHS sales pitches, and the unforgettable line “Lunch has been canceled due to lack of hustle.”
In aflevering 213 van Nerd Culture duiken we diep in de wereld van films, series en nerdy nieuws! We bespreken de gloednieuwe Superman-trailer, de bevestiging van een Wonder Woman-film door James Gunn en het bizarre budget van DC's volgende grote titel.Ook komt Thunderbolts voorbij, dat ondanks hoge verwachtingen de box office niet haalt. Daarnaast checken we trailers van onder andere Space Balls 2, The Pickup en Eddington, én bespreken we updates over Warhammer 40K, The Twilight Zone, LEGO als mentale support en Marvel's toekomstplannen. Kortom: genoeg om je nerdhart sneller te laten kloppen!Ook Thunderbolts flopt aan de box officeOndanks sterke recensies en Bob Iger's lof als hét voorbeeld van Marvel's nieuwe “kwaliteit boven kwantiteit”-aanpak, blijkt Thunderbolts een financiële misser. Met een wereldwijde opbrengst van $371 miljoen blijft de film onder de break-evengrens van $425 miljoen. Marvel hoopte met deze kleinschaliger productie, vol B-personages uit Black Widow en Falcon and the Winter Soldier, het tij te keren na de moeizame release van Captain America: Brave New World.De flop lijkt Marvel tot heroverweging te dwingen. Volgens analisten is het publiek klaar met middelgrote superheldenteams. De studio richt zich nu op grote namen: Fantastic Four, Spider-Man 4 en Avengers: Secret Wars. Kleine films lijken te verdwijnen, tenzij Marvel ze durft te maken met bescheiden budgetten en als op zichzelf staande verhalen. De Multiverse Saga is nog niet ten einde, maar deze tegenvaller kan grote gevolgen hebben voor Marvel's koers.Wonder Woman in de maak bij James Gunn's DCJames Gunn heeft bevestigd dat er een nieuwe Wonder Woman-film in de maak is bij DC Studios. In een interview met Entertainment Weekly zei hij dat het project “langzaam maar zeker” vooruitgaat en momenteel geschreven wordt. Deze film staat los van de HBO Max-serie Paradise Lost, die als prequel dient en zich richt op de mythologie van Themyscira.Hoewel er nog geen regisseur of hoofdrolspeelster is aangekondigd, suggereert Gunn dat Wonder Woman opnieuw een centrale rol krijgt binnen de reboot van het DCU. Dat sluit aan bij CEO David Zaslavs visie op Superman, Batman, Supergirl en Wonder Woman als de vier pijlers van het nieuwe universum.Met Superman bijna klaar voor release en Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow net afgerond, lijken de contouren van DC's Trinity zich langzaam te vormen. De terugkeer van Diana Prince is nu officieel onderweg.Timestamps:00:10:51 Devil May Cry00:15:40 The Wild Robot 00:20:00 Sakamoto Days00:22:54 Superman Trailer00:27:39 Clark Kent is al drie jaar Superman00:30:38 Superman heeft een krankzinnig budget00:34:00 Space Balls 2 aangekondigd00:37:03 Robert Eggers komt met A Christmas Carol00:41:25 Bekijk de F1 the Movie trailer met haptic feedback op iPhone00:45:45 Wil jij Indiana Jones zijn zweep?00:47:33 Eddington Trailer00:51:21 Henry Cavill geeft update over Warhammer 40K00:54:38 Thunderbolts weet niet break-even te draaien00:57:00 Marvel Midnight Suns in de maak bij Disney00:58:19 Marvel Studios Cross-Sections00:59:23 LEGO voor mentale weerbaarheid?01:02:25 Leonardo DiCaprio en Ben Stiller rebooten The Twilight Zone01:04:45 The Pickup Trailer

WELCOME BACK, REFINER! WE'RE ABOUT TO REACH THE HOLLOW!!Last we left our snowbound innies, they'd just met up with a disgusting dead seal. Irv wanted to eat it, no one else was so inclined.Now, the innies are about to reach their objective: Woe's Hollow. Here they will enjoy copious 'luxury meats' (?) along with unlimited toasted marshmallows and 4-ply tissue in the 'loo in case anything doesn't agree with them. Ah, if only it were all so simple and direct. Instead of roasting up some 'mallows, Ms. Huang is forced to toss them all in the fire. The innies get a bit too irreverent when discussing Dieter's strange proclivities AND Mark makes a visit to Helena's tent. He thinks he's visiting Helly R.'s tent. Helena does nothing to set him straight. It may be tender and loving, but it's still sexual assault because Mark does NOT know he's in bed with Helena Eagan!!The end is near, Refiners. The end of the ORTBO, that is. Also, the end of Irving B's innie career. It's huge, it's wild, it's PART TWO of the 'Woe's Hollow' odyssey.

In a segment of his sports talk radio show, Sal Licata discusses various New York sports topics. He begins with a humorous anecdote from a caller named Hank, who expresses frustration that his second cousin, actor Ben Stiller, won't attend a Knicks game with him. Licata then transitions to the Mets' announcement of an "Alumni Classic" game, essentially an Old Timers' Day under a new name, featuring over 40 former Mets players. He expresses enthusiasm for the event, particularly highlighting players like Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran. The conversation then shifts to the Knicks, with a caller named Alan advocating for Mark Jackson as the team's next head coach, believing he's more relatable to modern players than Jeff Van Gundy. Alan also expresses optimism for the New York Jets' upcoming season. Licata, however, dismisses Mark Jackson as a serious candidate for the Knicks coaching job, citing his past issues with the Warriors and lack of subsequent coaching opportunities.
In a lively discussion, radio host Sal Licata and his producer Hoff debated and ranked Ben Stiller's filmography. They ultimately agreed on Meet the Parents as his top film, followed by Along Came Polly, The Heartbreak Kid, Tropic Thunder, and Happy Gilmore. Other films like Dodgeball, There's Something About Mary, and Night at the Museum were also mentioned as strong contenders. The conversation took a humorous turn with a caller claiming to be Ben Stiller's second cousin, questioning Stiller's authenticity as a Knicks fan and lamenting his lack of communication.

This week we return to the stunning visual world of “Severance,” the critically acclaimed Apple TV+ series from creator Dan Erickson and director Ben Stiller. Cinematographer and fellow director Jessica Lee Gagné joins us to discuss her work on the show's second season, including how she crafted the eerie, sterile look of Lumon Industries and expanded the visual palette in new, unexpected ways. Jessica discusses her collaborative relationship with the creative team, the emotional and psychological subtext behind the framing, and how film was used to deepen the surreal, dreamlike atmosphere of the important flashbacks in episode 7, which she directed. “Life never looks more real and emotional than it does on film. Like it just has that texture... and I'm like, well, I feel that that makes so much sense with this world.” —Jessica Lee Gagné, Director of Photographer and Director, “Severance” Be sure to check out “Severance,” now streaming on AppleTV+, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.

Although we start with a tiny bit about Boomer's golf outing, Jerry presents Ben Stiller talking about Pat McAfee, and how he was ‘not familiar with his game'. The Thunder beat the T-Wolves to advance to the NBA Finals.
Juan Soto's recent struggles with the Mets, including an 0-for-4 performance and boos from fans, have drawn concern, with David Ortiz defending him and questions arising about his unusual demeanor and lack of "flare." While Mets manager Carlos Mendoza vaguely referenced Soto's "lower half" being in a good position. In other sports news, the Thunder advanced to the NBA Finals after defeating the T-Wolves, and the Yankees swept the Angels with a 1-0 shutout, extending their winning streak. The Mets, however, lost to the White Sox. The discussion also touched upon Ben Stiller's unfamiliarity with Pat McAfee's "game" and Spike Eskin's frustration with the "tough guy act" in baseball retaliation. Finally, a segment covered Stefon Diggs being seen on a yacht with a "pink powder" believed to be a drug called "Tusi" reportedly involved, raising concerns about the Patriots' potential reaction.

(24:55-34:51) – Jake revisits last year’s Boston Celtics playoff run and compares it to the run right now for the Oklahoma City Thunder. He ties the two together by wondering if Indiana can be the team that gave both teams their hardest challenge in the playoffs. (34:51-47:29) – The first hour of the program concludes with Jake and Eddie highlighting the celebrities that were in attendance in Indianapolis for games three and four because they debate which Ben Stiller movie is the best.

(1:12:35-1:24:32) – Pacers radio analyst Eddie Gill joins the show from New York to discuss Tyrese Haliburton’s dominating performance in game four, evaluates why the Knicks have seemingly played better with Jalen Brunson on the floor, elaborates on the different level of seriousness that Tyrese Haliburton has played with on defense, and weighs in on why this Pacers team has been so successful on the road this postseason. (1:24:32-1:33:43) – The second hour of today’s show wraps up with Jake sharing one of his favorite moments in broadcast history that has a tie with the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers. (1:33:43-2:00:14) – Tony East from Locked On Pacers and Forbes Sports joins the show from New York City to preview tonight’s Eastern Conference Finals game between the Pacers and Knicks. He accesses what turned Tyrese Haliburton into a prolific rebounder in game one, asks Jake if every game they play the rest of the playoffs is a top fifteen game in franchise history, debates whether New York will go back to starting Josh Hart, and highlights how the Knicks have played better with just one of Karl-Anthony Towns or Jalen Brunson on the floor in the playoffs. (2:00:14-2:08:22) – About an hour ago, John Mellencamp issued a statement apologizing to some of the New York Knicks fans and celebrities that were in attendance for game four because he didn’t feel like a Hoosier.

Anthony Richardson worked out today, and looked good. What happens when under pressure remains to be seen - most revert to previous form. We'll see what happens with Richardson. Pacers ready for closeout Thursday? Haliburton was incredible last night, but Nesmith is so critical - and the way Kevin Pritchard acquired him might just be the greatest trade in team history! Ben Stiller might just be an OK guy - and not the Knicks version of Cubs "fan" John Cusack.

Tyrese Haliburton's "choke" gesture toward the Knicks in Game 1 could become a defining moment of the series. In a show of local team spirit, NYC has even renamed some streets and intersections after Knicks players, prompting Boomer to quip about taking a picture at "Precious Achiuwa Place'. Jerry's update included Kevin Harlan's call of the Pacers' overtime comeback win. Tommy Lugauer offered "3 things to know" about the loss, which Ben Stiller notably "agreed" with in a quote tweet. In other sports, Jasson Dominguez hit a walk-off home run for the Yankees (with Dave Sims on the call), and Colts owner Jim Irsay passed away at 65. NFL news included the "Tush Push" not being banned, described by Jeffrey Lurie as a "wet dream," and Aaron Glenn's early impressions of Justin Fields in camp. The segment ended with a discussion about one of Boomer's friends who suspected he had a kidney stone.
Hour 1 The Knicks lost Game 1 to the Pacers in overtime after blowing a significant fourth-quarter lead. Tyrese Haliburton made a "choke" gesture after tying the game in regulation, echoing Reggie Miller's past antics. Despite the loss, Gio remains confident in the Knicks, believing they will dominate Game 2, especially recalling their past series win against the Pacers after Miller's similar gesture. In other sports news, the Yankees secured a walk-off win against the Rangers with a home run from Jasson Dominguez, and the Mets defeated the Red Sox, thanks to Brett Baty's three RBIs. The show concluded with Gio reiterating his faith in the Knicks, addressing calls from concerned fans. Hour 2 We were encouraged by the Knicks' offensive performance despite their loss. Gio received an old Washington Post article from 1989 where Michael Wilbon wrote about Boomer. A caller mistakenly identified Fat Joe at the game, but Gio's research revealed it was actually one of CC Sabathia's agents. A caller suggested players should go home after a loss and speak to the media the next day. The show then featured a clip of Marv Albert interviewing Boomer after his Super Bowl loss. Jerry's update included Pacers radio audio of Haliburton's shot that they initially thought was a game-winner. In other sports, Jasson Dominguez hit a walk-off home run for the Yankees against the Rangers, and the Mets beat the Red Sox with a Francisco Lindor home run. Jerry also played his signature "What the hell is that sound?" segment. Hour 3 Tyrese Haliburton's "choke" gesture toward the Knicks in Game 1 could become a defining moment of the series. In a show of local team spirit, NYC has even renamed some streets and intersections after Knicks players, prompting Boomer to quip about taking a picture at "Precious Achiuwa Place'. Jerry's update included Kevin Harlan's call of the Pacers' overtime comeback win. Tommy Lugauer offered "3 things to know" about the loss, which Ben Stiller notably "agreed" with in a quote tweet.

NFL news included the "Tush Push" not being banned, described by Jeffrey Lurie as a "wet dream," and Aaron Glenn's early impressions of Justin Fields in camp. The segment ended with a discussion about one of Boomer's friends who suspected he had a kidney stone. Hour 4 Listeners called in to discuss attending "Kickoff To Summer" and the Knicks' blown lead in their Game 1 loss to the Pacers. Jerry's final update featured Kevin Harlan's call of the Pacers' comeback win.In other sports, the Mets defeated the Red Sox thanks to Brett Baty's three RBIs, and Jasson Dominguez hit a walk-off homer for the Yankees against the Rangers. The Florida Gators' White House visit included Trump's comments on Tim Tebow and a jab at the Jets.The "Moment of The Day" covered kidney stones, penis problems, and Mark Chernoff's love for hump day. The hour concluded with news that the Islanders are seeking a President of Operations and the Maple Leafs are allowing them to speak with Brendan Shanahan.
