Podcast appearances and mentions of ben zuk

On this episode we present next door neighbors to Quentin Tarantino's latest divisive film (that opened to glowing reviews and box-office success... but real divisive!) ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD with an officially sanctioned classic IN A LONELY PLACE and one Oscar contender miss in HOLLYWOODLAND. Programming this seemingly unfair fight is my co-host from 99 FROM 99, Ben Zuk, who states on this episode that all the value he attained from film school resides in this very episode. On that depressing note please subscribe to our podcast where we relive happier times and the films of 1999!

Having been looked upon for years as the movie podcast of record for this art form known as cinema we've taken it upon ourselves to celebrate 1001 films covered on this show (don't ask why two extra were covered on a premise based around a triple feature but I remember one of the extras was MONEY MONSTER, obviously you fools) by looking at the paper of record on film. In the recent (we said we were the record, not punctual) Steven Spielberg picture THE POST we find Meryl Streep challenged to maintain her family's legacy under pressure from everyone else and Tom Hanks. Spoiler alert: Hanks has more sway than EVERYONE ELSE. This inspires a conversation on the changing power of the daily newspaper as seen as far back in 1931's THE FRONT PAGE and unfortunately the every bit as dated 1994 movie THE PAPER. Don't @ me about how dated this episode is but if you must please subscribe to my podcast with our guest BEN ZUK over at 99 FROM 99... and THEN click the links below: Support what we do with bonus content and early episodes on Patreon Facebook/Instagram/Twitter: @warmachinehorse Letterboxd: @markasplayed   And here are some other movie podcasts I host: The Grand Gesture Mark As Played Original Remake Projecting Film Sober Cinema

99 FROM 99 host Ben Zuk is back to educate us on NOT ONLY all the versions of A STAR IS BORN but also DEATH TO SMOOCHY. Naturally. The other half of our rivalries in the performing arts double feature is Best Picture winner CHICAGO. And while your host may prefer the Razzie contender starring Robin Williams and Edward Norton, both voices on this podcast seem agreeable to Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga's Oscar contender. Because God knows that Bradley needs a win in this life.

2018 is over but we cynically expect 2019 to get a whole hell of a lot worse. And to help us with that doomsday predicting mood we bring on the biggest cinephile cynic we know, Ben Zuk of 99 FROM 99 to take in a double feature of NIGHT OF THE DEMON and DRAG ME TO HELL. And while Sam Raimi's 2009 film was loosely inspired by this 1957 horror movie, they both provide a great playbook with how to live with a curse. For instance one might want to try killing a cat? Or better yet, just leave that to the movies, you'll feel better about yourself and we'll feel better after you click on these links below: Support what we do with bonus content and early episodes on Patreon Listen iTunes/Podbean Twitter/Instagram: @originalremake Email: originalremakepod@gmail.com Hosts: @Podstalgic and @warmachinehorse And here are some other movie podcasts I host: The Grand Gesture Mark As Played Projecting Film Sober Cinema War Machine vs. War Horse

Ben Zuk returns to the podcast to discuss a song that was supposed to end in a four letter word. Instead it has one of the best punchlines in musical theatre. Gee, Officer Krupke details the reasons why the Jets are the way that they are and it might be just as relevant today as it was when it was written. Plus, it's the only Sondheim song that appears in Curb Your Enthusiasm.

What's considered cool nowadays? Stephen Sondheim definitely didn't create the word cool, but he used it to great effect in West Side Story. While this may not be his most lyrically complex song it certainly has a purpose. Ben Zuk joins the podcast with his thoughts on the song and why it is so physically demanding to the performers.

We tackle the merits of nostalgia in READY PLAYER ONE by hosting a grueling contest of debasement for you our dear listeners with a double feature of THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON'T THEY? and WILLY WONKA & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY. To do so your master of podcast pain ceremonies, Michael Denniston, brings on his co-host from the new podcast 99 FROM 99, Ben Zuk to do a bit of breakdancing with Jane Fonda and belching behind Gene Wilder's back.

Welcome to the first episode of 99 FROM 99 and join us as we take a chronological look back at the films from 1999, the greatest year in movies! Your hosts Michael Denniston and Ben Zuk begin, as most years at the cinema do, with the entertainment with no hope for Oscar gold... but maybe, just maybe, a whipped cream bikini temptress will prove enough. VARSITY BLUES and SHE'S ALL THAT were early box-office hits of this year, and we'll see how they hold up now that your hosts are decidedly not in the target demographic, BUT the waves of nostalgia may be just strong enough to break them.

For our first new release, Paul Thomas Anderson's PHANTOM THREAD, we bring on a new guest in BEN ZUK from 99 FROM 99 a new movie podcast co-hosted by your lovable country bumpkin Mike. That podcast is presenting 99 episodes on films from 1999, including the great MAGNOLIA. Unlike the poor bastards on that podcast, we don't have to wait to discuss a PTA joint as we spend 38 minutes praising exactly how this great director prepares cinematic asparagus with this strange, sweet, ugly and beautiful love story in what is our favorite film of 2017. Enjoy this interruption in your earbuds with a nice loud piece of buttered toast!Facebook/Instagram/Twitter: @grandgesturepodHosts: Dave @pccasestudy Mike @warmachinehorseEmail us your favorite romantic grand gestures in film at grandgesturepod@gmail.com

On this episode we answer the call of A MONSTER CALLS... and based on its box office earnings, we were the only ones. Thankfully you can listen to our advice as the hosts of the podcast Joy Sandwich, Jess and Non, join the show to steer you and your children to better monsters to befriend in LET THE RIGHT ONE IN and WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE. ALSO: Co-host Ben Zuk briefly educates the listeners on the possibilities of procreation for the character of Ripley in the ALIEN franchise. Twitter/Instagram/Letterboxd: @warmachinehorse

Inspired by one of this year's Best Picture frontrunners MANCHESTER BY THE SEA we track down the other brothers in HUD and RAIN MAN for perhaps the biggest battle in War Machine vs. War Horse history: Paul Newman vs. Tom Cruise. From the podcast Pop Culture Case Study, Dave Hart helps us diagnose the black sheep of these respective film families while hosts Ben Zuk and Michael Denniston debate the likeability of gingers on screen.

Inspired by new release MISS SLOANE we attempt to control gun control cinema as seen in the Michael Moore documentary BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE and the John Grisham film adaptation of RUNAWAY JURY. To take on such heavy hitters as Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman we need Dwight Hurst of The Broken Brain podcast, and a huge fan of The West Wing in Ben Zuk to walk and talk with Jessica Chastain. ALSO: We propose MySpace as a place for former jury fixers to find their next gig.

In preparing for new release NOCTURNAL ANIMALS we take the threats of authors very seriously by looking back at Jack Nicholson terrorizing his family in THE SHINING and Emma Thompson picking on Will Ferrell for being a dork who needs to die in STRANGER THAN FICTION. To do that we welcome back returning guest Margo from the podcast Book vs. Movie, and the world's biggest Tom Ford fan, Ben Zuk.

On this episode we discuss vulnerability in male sexuality with David Hart of Pop Culture Case Study. To do so, we reveal our own hopes, dreams, and desires such as the goal line stand of Jack Nicholson's hairline in CARNAL KNOWLEDGE. Or our innermost fears such as an inability to speak Spanish on a road trip with friends in Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN. All of that and a look at a frontrunner in 2016's Best Picture race with MOONLIGHT. Also: Our Oscars expert Ben Zuk blindly predicts the Academy Awards, and our host Mike struggles to name ten good movies.

Returning guest Ben Zuk joins the show to help us translate the glowing critical response to new release ARRIVAL. Being less than enthusiastic on that film we hang out with the jaded and bored Scarlett Johansson & Bill Murray in Sofia Coppola's LOST IN TRANSLATION. That modern classic battles it out with Brad Pitt and the rest of the INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS in Quentin Tarantino's tribute to international cooperation. Also: Ben refuses to come back to discuss Sofia Coppola's SOMEWHERE, even with the promise of WE BOUGHT A ZOO.

For an episode that confronts the domestic terror that is Dakota Fanning we need three guests. Ben Zuk and David Hart of Pop Culture Case Study discuss new release AMERICAN PASTORAL which inspires a look back at Steven Spielberg's WAR OF THE WORLDS and Kelly Reichardt's NIGHT MOVES with Andrew Pierce of AB Film Review and The Last New Wave. Do we prefer Dakota young, innocent, and running from an alien invasion with expert runner Tom Cruise OR plotting with Jesse Eisenberg on nefarious uses for fertilizer? Find out in this episode and also... Andrew speaks with great authority on the DVD black market in Thailand.

For new release CERTAIN WOMEN guest Ben Zuk helps us present our own anthology of Kelly Reichardt and Michelle Williams film collaborations. In WENDY AND LUCY a young woman becomes financially stranded in Oregon during a trip cross country with her dog, while in MEEK'S CUTOFF a group of settlers' wives are unable to participate in the decision making when their guide gets them lost on the Oregon Trail. Which place from these films proves the biggest roadblock for their respective characters? For that we bring in Andrew from AB Film Review and The Last New Wave as he is the self-proclaimed most isolated podcaster on Earth. Also: two of the three voices on this show verify that they did not record naked. Twitter/Instagram: @warmachinehorse  

We go off the grid with guest Ben Zuk and Viggo Mortensen for new to video CAPTAIN FANTASTIC. Our travels and limited supplies do include copies of previous situation this actor has found himself in with A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE and THE ROAD. Along the way we discuss David Cronenberg's portrayal of baseball and sex (one of which bothers our host a great deal more) and eating canned fruit with Robert Duvall as the best way to spend the end days. Join us for Mike and Ben's murder-suicide pact in our latest episode!

On this episode we account for the cinematic crimes of Ben Affleck in his new film THE ACCOUNTANT. This inspires guest Ben Zuk to join in a MIDNIGHT RUN of assessing the merits of that film starring Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin against De Niro and Kevin Costner in THE UNTOUCHABLES. All of this and some compliments to the beauty of Andy Garcia in an episode produced from the set of MIDNIGHT RUN!

On this episode Ben Zuk returns to program another Woody Allen film INTERIORS, which is combined with HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG for the biggest downer double feature after seeing the new popcorn thriller THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN. Though not similar in style or tone, all three films feature women who long to go home but doing so results in tragedy. We also discuss the literary merits of beach reads and AMERICAN PASTORAL as a $14.99 paperweight.

On this episode returning guest Ben Zuk participates in a Woody Allen threesome for the release of CAFE SOCIETY. Our other two films of varying degrees of sex appeal include the classic MANHATTAN starring the filmmaker himself embroiled in a love triangle with an Allen favorite in Diane Keaton. Allen is absent from VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA but gives us the gift of Javier Bardem, Scarlett Johanssen, and and Oscar winning performance from War Machine vs. War Horse favorite, Penelope Cruz. Mr. Zuk provides yet another great mashup of these two Allen films, while Mike mostly sits in the corner and watches.

On this episode we HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE with guest Ben Zuk, as that new movie inspires a double feature of father figures and kids on the run from powerful forces in Clint Eastwood’s A PERFECT WORLD and the Sam Mendes film ROAD TO PERDITION.

This week on the InSession Film Podcast, Ben Zuk joins us to discuss Shane Black's new film The Nice Guys starring the great Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling. We also talk our favorite buddy cop movies and we finish off the show with another edition of Are You Down?, this time talking about some film properties that are being turned into TV shows.    - The Nice Guys review (7:22)   - Top 3 Buddy Cop Movies (40:25)   - Are You Down? (1:28:35)   Thanks for listening and be sure to subscribe on iTunes, Jabbercast, Stitcher, Soundcloud or TuneIn Radio!   iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/insession-film-podcast/id605634337   Jabbercast: https://insessionfilm.jabbercast.com   Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/insession-film   Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/insession-film   TuneIn Radio: http://tunein.com/radio/The-InSession-Film-Podcast-p522717/   Listen Now: http://insessionfilm.com/insession-film-podcasts-listen-now/

On this episode we welcome guest Ben Zuk of the podcast Cinematic for the People to help take film characters' lives apart. In THE GAME Michael Douglas is an isolated rich man who has existed in a world of great wealth and power for so long that he seeks out something new in the form of a live action game that will take over his life. And in EVERYTHING MUST GO Will Ferrell plays an alcoholic whose failed marriage forces him to examine the life and possessions he has built for himself from the comfort of his front lawn. This double feature has been inspired by the new release starring Jake Gyllenhaal: DEMOLITION.

On this episode we lock ourselves in from the monsters on the outside, only to find ourselves fighting monsters on the inside. Those two monsters are Dwight Hurst from The Broken Brain podcast, who discusses those in control and being controlled in THE VILLAGE and COMPLIANCE. But first, our other guest is Ben Zuk from the podcast Cinematic for the People as we talk about the need to open one more of J.J. Abrams' mystery boxes in the new release 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE.

It is 2016 and we are ringing in the new year with a discussion about the latest offering from Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, Robert DeNiro, and David O. Russell: Joy. To help us with this endeavor, we have enlisted the assistance of a fellow Following Films member: Ben Zuk of Cinematic For The People. He also helps us debate about some of the best and worst director and actor collaborations in film history.Give us a review on iTunes...even if you don't listen...please.

On this episode I am joined by the host of Cinematic for the People, Ben Zuk, as we take a gamble on Adam McKay in THE BIG SHORT which inspires us to do some cinematic number crunching by revisiting the documentary STARTUP.COM and JC Chandor’s MARGIN CALL. But before that we see if this latest Michael Lewis adaptation crashes on the silver screen.

On this episode Ben Zuk of Cinematic For The People joins the show to talk about sea beasts killing the movie star in JAWS and DEEP BLUE SEA. This particular pairing has been inspired by the new Ron Howard/Chris Hemsworth collaboration IN THE HEART OF THE SEA.
