The second half of Soderbergh's unbelievable year 2000 was TRAFFIC, his sprawling adaptation of the 1989 Channel 4 miniseries about the many sides of the drug trade. At the time, it was hailed as a highly nuanced and humane look at narcotics. But how does it look from 2025? Joining us to discuss is professor and author of our much-cited Quick Fixes: Drugs in America from Prohibition to the 21st Century Binge, Benjamin Y. Fong! We talk macroeconomics, "Mexico filter," drug movies, Benicio Del Toro's accent, and a whole lot more. Really fascinating episode, we hope you enjoy!

THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME marks Wes Anderson's thirteenth feature film (if you count the collection of 4 shorts based on Roald Dahl stories he did for Netflix in 2024 as one film). Benicio Del Toro stars as wealthy businessman Zsa-zsa Korda who decides to appoint his only daughter, a nun, as sole heir to his estate. As Korda embarks on a dubious new enterprise (the scheme of the title) he & his daughter become the target of rival tycoons, foreign terrorists, & determined assassins. We've got a review plus some movie news and a recommendation of a film you might want to seek out. Recommendation from our hosts in this episode - The Ballad of Wallis Island Footcandle Film Society
Send us a textFather's Day 2025 finds our podcast fathers contemplating the curious state of cinema, where animation remakes break box office records while prestige directors struggle with creative stagnation.Wes Anderson's "The Phoenician Scheme" becomes the focal point for a larger conversation about directorial signature styles calcifying into self-parody. Even devoted Anderson defenders are feeling fatigue as his meticulously composed dollhouses and deadpan performances edge closer to parody than innovation. Despite the welcome presence of Benicio Del Toro and glimpses of experimentation with violence and sports sequences, the film ultimately disappoints by prioritizing aesthetic consistency over emotional resonance.Meanwhile, "Ballerina" emerges as a surprising standout in the John Wick universe. Ana de Armas commands the screen with physical prowess and surprising comedic timing, elevating creative action sequences featuring improvised weapons from ice skate nunchucks to television remotes. The film's narrative structure might be front-loaded with unnecessary exposition, but once it finds its rhythm, it delivers the kind of inventive, visually striking action that established the franchise while carving its own identity.Family-friendly features continue their theatrical dominance, with "How To Train Your Dragon" joining "Minecraft" and "Lilo & Stitch" as box office champions. This enduring trend speaks volumes about audience priorities in an era of rising ticket prices – when families invest in theater outings, they gravitate toward reliable entertainment with broad appeal. On the horizon, Danny Boyle's "28 Years Later" promises to revitalize the rage virus saga with innovative iPhone cinematography and the return of original writer Alex Garland.Join us next week as we dive deep into Danny Boyle's filmography and explore how his latest compares to the groundbreaking original that helped redefine zombie cinema for a new generation.Support the show

From Oscar-winning director Wes Anderson (The Grand Budapest Hotel, Rushmore, The Royal Tannenbaums) comes his latest uniquely framed and acted adventure about a wealthy businessman (Oscar-Winner Benicio Del Toro) who's on a dangerous mission to not only preserve his wealth but also to possibly reconcile with his daughter played by newcomer Mia Threapleton. Alongside his latest assistant (and insect expert) Bjorn (Michael Cera), they travel around the world encountering a genuinely unique assortment of rival businessmen and/or potential assassins played by an All-Star cast including Tom Hanks, Rupert Friend, Scarlett Johannsen, Riz Ahmed, Bryan Cranston, Jeffrey Wright, and Benedict Cumberbatch. And what results is a colorful, quirky, and symettrical adventure which could only come from the mind of Wes Anderson.Host & Editor: Geoff GershonEditor: Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
Send us a textOn our 107th podcast, we here at the Triple FFF thought we'd try to once again attempt relevance and discuss a current big release, this time Wes Anderson's 2025 father-daughter high stakes business and espionage caper The Phoenician Scheme starring Benicio Del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Riz Ahmed, Scarlet Johansson, Mathieu Amalric, Jeffrey Wright, Rupert Friend and Benedict Cumberbatch. As well as Mr. Anderson's troupe of good-natured bit players and walk ons which includes Bill Murray, F. Murray Abraham, Wilem Dafoe and now Charlotte Gainsbourg. I'm your host Gino Caputi and my guests this week are the always dependable show regulars Joe Field, David Johnson DMD and Gordon Alex RobertsonThe Phoenician Scheme's plot unfolds as follows: After surviving yet another assassination attempt, this time with a glimpse of the afterlife, wealthy arms dealer and industrialist Anatole Zsa-Zsa Korda realizes his days are numbered and possibly without purpose. Hoping to reconnect with his estranged daughter Liesl—now on the verge of taking her final vows as a Catholic nun—he names her the sole heir to his estate. In exchange for long-withheld truths about her mother's murder, Korda convinces Liesl to accompany him on a whirlwind journey to secure funding from several colorfully shady investors for his grand, multi-layered Phoenician Scheme—plans for which are ingeniously stored in a series of shoeboxes.Where does this film rank within Wes Anderson's collection of stories about larger-than-life, big talking fathers of dubious emotional and financial sincerity?

This week on the I Hate Critics Movie Review Podcast, we cover a wild mix of genres—stylish revenge thrillers, quirky capers, shark horror, supernatural suspense, and a cult classic thriller. Ballerina Directed by Len Wiseman Starring Ana de Armas, Keanu Reeves Set in the John Wick universe, Ballerina follows Eve Macarro, trained by the deadly Ruska Roma, as she unleashes her skills on an army of assassins in her quest to avenge her father's murder. The Phoenician Scheme Directed by Wes Anderson Starring Benicio Del Toro, Mia Threapleton In classic Anderson fashion, this film delivers a visually whimsical and tonally oddball tale of inheritance, danger, and absurdity as a nun becomes the unlikely heir to a business empire under siege from international foes. Dangerous Animals Directed by Sean Byrne Starring Hassie Harrison A sun-soaked nightmare with blood in the water. A surfer named Zephyr is held captive by a shark-worshiping serial killer aboard his boat, racing to escape before becoming bait in a gruesome ritual. Bring Her Back Directed by Michael and Danny Philippou Starring Sally Hawkins, Billy Barratt, Sora Wong From the creators of Talk to Me comes another chilling descent into supernatural terror. A foster home hides sinister secrets when two siblings witness a horrifying ritual that puts their souls—and sanity—at risk. Classic Review: Mute Witness (1995) Directed by Anthony Waller Starring Marina Zudina, Faye Ripley This criminally underrated ‘90s thriller follows a mute makeup artist who accidentally stumbles upon a snuff film being made in a Russian studio. What follows is a tense and terrifying game of survival against the Russian mafia.
Wes Anderson's The Phoenician Scheme crash-lands into theaters with a symmetry—and we're here to unpack the wreckage. Benicio Del Toro plays Anatole “Zsa-Zsa” Korda, a morally exhausted arms dealer who survives a plane crash and decides, rather abruptly, to become a better man. His daughter, a nun (played with unsettling calm by Mia Threapleton), may be his salvation. Or his reckoning. Or both. Along for the ride: Michael Cera as a soft-spoken entomologist, a council of multinational bureaucrats with murderous intent, and Bill Murray as God (in grayscale, naturally).Pete Wright hosts this morally ambiguous briefing with fellow operatives Tommy Metz III and Steve Sarmento, as they parse Anderson's most spiritually ambitious and physically violent film to date. There are questions—big ones. Is this Cain and Abel by way of a TWA departure lounge? Why does forgiveness feel like a conference call?We dig into the film's sumptuous craft, its emotional architecture, and the performances that hold it all together with linen thread and murmured apologies. If you've ever wanted to see a man seek redemption through dinner parties, aerial espionage, and awkward family reunions, this one's for you.Film SundriesWatch this on Apple or find other places at JustWatchTheatrical trailerLetterboxd Learn how to support our show and The Next Reel's family of film podcasts by becoming a member.

We've got a grab bag of summer movies and a guest star filling in this week on Breakfast All Day. We begin with "The Phoenician Scheme," the latest overstuffed, star-studded extravaganza from Wes Anderson.

Con “A simple accident” il regista Jafar Panahi si è aggiudicato la Palma d'Oro a Cannes. E proprio per restare nell'atmosfera magica della Croisette apriamo con un film che da lì rimbalza nei cinema italiani. Si tratta di "La Trama fenicia" diretto da Wes Anderson, con Benicio Del Toro, Mia Threapleton e Michael Cera, che come al solito ha diviso la critica in favorevoli e contrari. Per ricreare questo ring in studio abbiamo coinvolto i colleghi Ilaria Feole e Filippo Mazzarella di Film Tv.Con il nostro Boris Sollazzo parliamo di due film bellissimi come "Scomode verità" diretto da Mike Leigh, con Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Michele Austin e David Webber e "L'ultima regina - Firebrand" diretto da Karim Aïnouz, con Alicia Vikander, Jude Law e Eddie Marsan.Il regista Guido Chiesa torna alla regia qualche mese dopo il successo di “Trenta notti con il mio ex” con un film molto impegnato sulle radici dello Stato di Israele "Per amore di una donna" con Marc Rissmann, Ana Ularu e Alban Uka.Emanuele di Nicola, esperto di horror e redattore della rivista di settore “Nocturno” ci racconta "L'esorcismo di Emma Smith", horror di David Midell con Al Pacino e Dan Stevens.
Il canale americano HBO sta mettendo a punto una serie tv ispirata a Harry Potter e per evitare ulteriori polemiche sulla scelta appena annunciata dei giovani protagonisti ha dovuto disattivare i commenti social. A proposito di personaggi iconici, torna il Dottor JD di Zach Braff: farà parte infatti del cast del reboot di "Scrubs", confermato dopo tante voci di corridoio. Altro ritorno molto gradito: l'attrice Krysten Ritter sarà di nuovo Jessica Jones nella prossima stagione di "Daredevil: Born Again". Chi se la ricorda in "Breaking Bad"? Cambiando genere, torna su Sky "And Just Like That", terza stagione del prequel di "Sex & the City". Per l'occasione, la rubrica "5 cose che non potete non sapere" è dedicata proprio alla serie creata da Darren Star e basata sul best-seller "Sex and the City" di Candace Bushnell. E restando in tema di "cult", la prossima settimana arriva nelle sale un nuovo film con i mitici Jackie Chan e Ralph Macchio: "Karate Kid: Legends". Parecchi i film interessanti già in programmazione nei cinema: continua il successo di "Fuori" di Mario Martone, esce il nuovo "La trama Fenicia" di Wes Anderson con Benicio Del Toro, mentre Al Pacino partecipa all'horror "L'Esorcismo di Emma Schmidt – The Ritual".See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode of Pop Culture Weekly with Kyle McMahon, Benicio del Toro, Michael Cera and Mia Threapleton discuss The Phoenician Scheme, Michael and Danny Philippou talk their new A24 horror film Bring Her Back and Robert Patrick returns to discuss National Memorial Day Concert and The X-Files.Legendary actor Robert Patrick is back with his profound reflections on the National Memorial Day Concert 2025, embodying a heartfelt tribute to fallen heroes deeply influenced by his own military family ties. His stories of dedication to veterans and thoughts on iconic roles, including insights into "The X-Files" reboot, offer listeners a glimpse into his passionate advocacy and storied career. Then we transition into the eerie realm of horror, filmmakers Danny and Michael Philippou captivate us with the personal narratives that shape their chilling new A24 film, "Bring Her Back." The duo's journey from YouTube creators to major studio filmmakers highlights their unique approach, blending authentic drama with horror and drawing on unexpected inspirations like "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane".Then, we jump into the whimsical cinematic universe of Wes Anderson as Academy Award winner Benicio Del Toro, Michael Cera, and Mia Threapleton share their experiences on "The Phoenician Scheme." Del Toro praises the layered, human characters within Anderson's artistic worlds, while Cera reveals the challenges of perfecting a Norwegian accent that complements the film's quirky tone. Threapleton's excitement is palpable as she recounts her journey to landing her first significant film role. This episode is a testament to the diverse tapestry of stories that shape pop culture today, providing listeners with a riveting mix of heartfelt tributes, chilling storytelling, and whimsical cinematic adventures.
Superada más o menos la resaca de Cannes, empiezan a llegar a la cartelera algunos de los títulos del festival.

También comentamos los estrenos españoles, como 'Hamburgo', o la coproducción argentina 'El Jockey', con Úrsula Corberó y Nahuel Pérez Biscayart. En televisión, comedia y ciencia ficción con Alexander Skarsgård y su nueva serie en Apple TV+.

Nos llegan las primeras películas de Cannes de este año, y por supuesto iremos paulatinamente reseñándolas para vosotros empezando por la cinta del Rey del Cine: Wes Anderson que nos trae una vuelta a su cine más argumental y menos conceptual con “La Trama Fenicia” en la que Benicio Del Toro se verá en una misión casi imposible mientras se reconcilia con su hija monja. De ahí no nos movemos del cine para la llegada del Live Action de “Lilo y Stitch”, la película de Disney que trae como director a la creativa mente detrás de “Marcel la concha con zapatos” Ya en casa nos ha llegado una nueva entrega a NEtflix de “La calle del terror” en este caso “La reina del baile” un slasher ochentero dispuesto a derramar sangre. Entre medias de todos estos estrenos seguimos con nuestro particular maratón de Cannes en casa con cintas anteriores de directores que han competido este año por la palma de oro. Empezamos por el ganador Jafar Panahi que se ha alzado con la palma de oro con “A Simple Accident” pero que en 2018 ganó el premio del guión por “Tres caras” cinta que rescatamos ahora y que tenéis en Filmin TErminamos con Yann Gozlan, un director francés que este año ha presentado DAlloway pero rescatamos su cinta de 2021 titulada “Black Box” un thriller de altos vuelos Y todo ello sin spoilers

KULTRULLEN ”KUNG FURY” FIRAR 10 ÅR I UMEÅI veckan är det tioårsjubileum för den galna svenska actionfilmen ”Kung Fury” - med blixtar, dinosaurier, snurrsparkar och hårdkokta poliser i Miami. Märkliga saker har hänt sen dess. En färdiginspelad uppföljare, full av världsstjärnor som Arnold Schwarzenegger och Michael Fassbender, har strandat i en knepig juridisk process. Men var började allt? P1 Kulturs Joakim Silverdal fick fatt i Janne Widmark, som tecknat bildmanus till Kung Fury.KLASSIKERN: ”MIDNIGHT COWBOY” – OSCARSVINNAREN SOM INGEN TRODDE PÅNumera är skådespelaren Jon Voigt nog mest beryktad som Trumps särskilda sändebud i Hollywood men han slog igenom som den manliga prostituerade killen i cowboyutstyrsel som slår följe med Dustin Hoffmans fifflare i filmen ”Midnight Cowboy” i slutet av 60-talet. Ludvig Josephson berättar mer om filmen som ingen trodde på men som fick två Oscar.REPORTAGE: MUSIK ÖVER LANDSGRÄNSERNA – NÄR MÅNGFALDEN HOTASI över två decennier har den ideella föreningen Selam arbetat för att synliggöra kulturella minoritetsgruppers kulturuttryck från Afrika, Latinamerika och Karibien, samt skapa plattformar för svenska och internationella artister. Nu arrangerar Selam en jazzfestival i Tanzania. Här möts svensk folkmusik, jazz och hiphop med lokala musiktraditioner. ”Kulturen och musikens roll för att skapa gränsöverskridande relationer och möten är idag viktigare än någonsin”, säger Selams grundare Teshome Wondimu till vår reporter Tanja Ulriksson.TILL MINNE AV NGUGI WA THIONG'O (1938-2025) Den länge Nobelpristippade författaren Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o har gått bort, 87 år gammal. Han lämnade tidigt Kenya av politiska skäl och bodde flera år i Sverige på 1980-talet, men vid sin bortgång var han sedan länge bosatt i USA. Sveriges Radios reporter Margareta Svensson träffade Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o i Lundströms Bokradio våren 2013 då hans memoarer, ”Drömmar i krigets skugga”, nyligen getts ut på svenska. Programledare: Gunnar BolinProducent: Henrik Arvidsson

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by one of the greats... it's BENICIO DEL TORO!"I'm a FAN!" proclaims Benicio at various points in this lovely catch up with Pip, and it's so heartening to hear. Not that anyone ever expected him to be anything less than awesome, but this is actually quite a rare appearance from someone evidently beloved by those involved in cinema and those who view the films alike. While a quick Google search will bring up a bunch of films he's been in and you wlll love, you could just do an old fashioned analogue mind search and come up with something equally quick, as everyone will have one.

On this bumper episode for Wes Anderson's new film, our interviewers Lucy Fenwick Elliott, Lara Peters and Elena Lazic speak to the cast of The Phoenician Scheme: Benicio del Toro, Michael Cera, Mia Threapleton and Richard Ayoade. The inimitable Wes Anderson returns with The Phoenician Scheme, a story of a family – and a family business. Zsa-zsa Korda (Benicio Del Toro) is a roguish millionaire businessman, survivor of six plane crashes and father of nine sons, and – crucially – one daughter, a nun called Liesel (Mia Threapleton). The two reunite when Liesel is, against all odds, named sole heir to his estate. But as Korda embarks on a new, ambitious enterprise, they quickly become the target of scheming tycoons, foreign terrorists, and determined assassins.

Gonzo Hellscape: Terry Gilliam's Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas In 1998 Director Terry Gilliam - a director whose cinematic career has been fraught with difficulty on the level of Job (see 2002s Lost in La Mancha) was finally successful in bringing to the screen Hunter S. Thompson's 1971 Classic roman á clef of excess, paranoia, idealism, and disappointment, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream. A polariizing film upon its release in 1998, Giliam's interpretation of Thompson's 1971 vision is both awe-inspiring and troubling. There is a tremendous amount to admire in this film while at the same time there is a tremendous amount to be critical of . . . We tackle both perspectives and struggle to find some greater understanding of the late 60s, early 70s, and pain and disappointment of the 2nd decade of a new millennium. It's an interesting and volatile discussion between two friends. Take a listen and let us know what yout think about our reaction to Thompson's vision as rendered through the mind of Terry Gilliam and the equally outrageous and powerful performances of stars Johnny Depp (as Thompson) and Benicio Del Toro (as Chicano activist Oscar Zeta Acosta - the 300lb Samoan of Thompson's writing).

Send us a textAlright everyone, it's time for yet another theme and this time it's "Eyes Wide Open". This theme will deal with films where characters experience eye-opening moments, whether through shocking revelations or sudden enlightenment.Peeling back the eyelids first, with the shake-up of "must have a narrator" (pretty self explanatory) is The Usual Suspects, the 1995 action/drama/thriller/etc directed by Bryan Singer and starring Kevin Spacey, Benicio Del Toro, Stephen Baldwin, Gabriel Byrne, Chazz Palminteri and Kevin Pollak. We follow the tale of the sole survivor of a pier shoot-out who tells the story of how a notorious criminal influenced the events that began with five criminals meeting in a seemingly random police lineup.Of course in addition to our feature presentation we do a deep dive into daylight savings time, pick who would narrate our lives and Matt discusses his experience with invasive procedures.
