This time around, we chat about writer-director Guy Ritchie's masterpiece, ‘SNATCH.' Tune in for news updates as well as recommendations. Featuring the voice of Chris Pawlak. Mix and edited by: Wesley Swanson

This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes revisit "The Way of the Gun", Christopher McQuarrie's sharp, character-driven crime thriller and directorial debut.Both Mike Butler and Mike Field really enjoy this one. The performances are firing on all cylinders, with the legendary James Caan bringing gravitas and menace to every scene he's in. Benicio Del Toro and Ryan Phillippe anchor the film as two genuinely bad men, not misunderstood antiheroes, but criminals who are unapologetically who they are. That commitment to morally compromised characters gives the film a harder edge than most crime thrillers of its era.McQuarrie's first outing behind the camera shows remarkable confidence, with tight dialogue, grounded action, and characters who always feel true to themselves. Butler suspects younger him would have absolutely loved this film, while Field appreciates it even more now, finding its maturity and restraint more compelling with age.Dark, deliberate, and unapologetically adult, "The Way of the Gun" stands as one of the stronger crime films of the early 2000s and a reminder of how effective simple, character-focused storytelling can be.What's your favorite film about a bad guy(s) where they are the lead and actually ARE the bad guy? Let us know in the comments!

How do you handle it when you screw up badly? (Like really badly.) Former hedge fund trader and Wharton graduate Tom Hardin was convicted of Securities Fraud and Conspiracy to Commit Securities Fraud, which are felonies. In 2008, during the beginning of the great finanical crisis, Tom desperately needed to put some points on the board at his fund. And since everybody else in the industry seemed to be doing it, Tom allowed himself to trade equities on material, non-public information—something he knew was illegal. After being stopped by the FBI on the streets of Manhattan, Tom agreed to become an informant and wore a wire over 40 times to aid the agency in its investigation of big fish like Steve Cohen of SAC who paid a $1.8 billion fine and Rajaratnam of of Galleon Group who went to jail for 7.5 years. I spoke to Tom this week about his new book, Wired on Wall Street: The Rise and Fall of Tipper X, One of the FBI's Most Prolific Informants. A scrappy, middle-class kid from suburban Atlanta (Go Braves!), Tom willed himself into the University of Pennsylvania's famed Wharton School of Business, which launched him into the finance industry. He eventually earned a seat at a prestigious hedge fund and was on his way until the intense pressure of the gig led him to make a terrible decision that earned him only $46,000 but ended his career. Today, Tom works with Fortune 500 companies, financial institutions, law firms, business schools, and leadership teams, delivering keynotes and advisory engagements on behavioral ethics, culture risk, and organizational conduct. NOTE: The actor in 'Traffic' actor whose name I was trying to remember is Benicio Del Toro, not Guillermo Del Toro.

When it comes to box office numbers, even 007 can suffer a misfire. Though not a proper bomb, Timothy Dalton's second outing as cinema's favorite superspy, License to Kill, proved lukewarm with moviegoers and critics, closing out the 80s on a sour note and laying the series fallow for another six years until Pierce Brosnon took up the mantle in GoldenEye. But should this odd pairing of revenge espionage and Miami Vice-style crime drama be callously thrown to the sharks? Join Sebastian and Does This Come in Chromium's Matt Anderson as they revel in the glory of a young Benicio Del Toro, mix cocaine with gasoline and celebrate the all-too brief run of the franchise's most underrated James Bond.

Is One Battle After Another a thriller, a father/daughter film, a black comedy, or a social commentary? Yes to everything. Luke & Corrye sift through all the bananas decisions by Paul Thomas Anderson that makes this an instant classic.

Oscars Month marches forward on We Drink & We Watch Things as we tackle the provocative and high-stakes contender that has everyone talking: Paul Thomas Anderson's sprawling political odyssey, One Battle After Another. Far from a traditional war movie, this is a stylish, kinetic look at an underground network of anti-fascist revolutionaries navigating a modern America on the brink. Pour yourself something strong and steady - you're going to need it to keep up with the frantic energy of The French 75.This week, we examine the film's portrayal of resistance, following Leonardo DiCaprio's "Bob" as a former munitions expert forced out of a stoner haze to protect his daughter from a shadow-government cabal. We talk through PTA's decision to blend Thomas Pynchon's psychedelic paranoia with very real contemporary anxieties, specifically focusing on the "Latino Harriet Tubman" operation led by Benicio Del Toro's serene sensei. We also analyze Sean Penn's unsettling turn as the obsessive Colonel Lockjaw and the film's central question: in a world of pervasive surveillance and escalating extremism, is organized rebellion a noble necessity or a cycle of "one battle after another?" If you're keeping up with Mackenzie's Oscar ballot or just love a film that feels like a fever dream of the evening news, this episode is an absolute must-watch. We're blending our technical appreciation for this 35mm powerhouse with our usual casual conversation, making this a truly electrifying entry in our journey toward Hollywood's biggest night.This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming next.

The sequel to Denis Villeneuve's 'Sicaro' is an impressive off-ramp from the first film's focus on drug cartels trafficking narcotics and stacking bodies. Italian director Stefano Sollima (Gomorra, ZeroZeroZero) focuses more intently on Josh Brolin's Matt Graver and Benicio Del Toro's Alejandro Gillick characters, as they face a (final?) confrontation with the outer limit of their own moral codes. For me, Day of the Soldado is the rare sequel that gets better the more I watch it, and that doean't merely rehash the best-known sequences from the original (although it does that, too) but instead deepens our understanding of two key characters and tantalizingly points in the direction of a much-discussed but yet-to-be-confirmed third film in the series.   Follow the Show on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/fullcastandcrew/

Denis Villeneuve's film 'Sicario' remains a vital and prescient glimpse into extra-judicial Governmental activities and the blurring of lines on both sides of the drug war, all brilliantly rendered by top-notch cinematography from Roger Deakins and a host of career-best performances from actors like Emily Blunt, James Brolin, Daniel Kaluuya, and, especially, Benicio Del Toro.  Harrowing, procedural, understated, and complicated, the film unfolds with confidence in the journey it takes viewers on, with a refreshing lack of hand-holding and over-explanation. 

 W czwartek ogłoszono nominacje do Oscarów, które natychmiast rozpaliły filmowe dyskusje. Najwięcej wskazań – rekord w historii – zdobyli Grzesznicy, a wśród faworytów znalazł się też nowy film Paula Thomasa Andersona Jedna bitwa po drugiej. Tegoroczna lista pokazuje, że Akademia postawiła na kino ambitne, mocno autorskie i wyraźnie zanurzone w sporach politycznych i społecznych.Rozmowa Łukasza Adamskiego z Konradem Mędrzeckim w „Odysei wyborczej” Radia Wnet szybko zeszła z prostego liczenia nominacji na szerszą refleksję o relacji kina i polityki. Adamski przypomniał, że – parafrazując Lenina – kino od zawsze było „najważniejszą ze sztuk”, bo najsilniej oddziałuje na masową wyobraźnię.W kontekście Oscarów warto jednak żenić te dwie namiętności ze sobą – kino i politykę– komentował gość Radia Wnet. Najwięcej emocji wzbudzają „Grzesznicy” Ryana Cooglera – quasihorror, który zebrał aż 16 nominacji, więcej niż kiedykolwiek wcześniej miały „Titanic” czy „La La Land”.To liczba zdumiewająca. Żaden horror w historii Hollywood nie dostał tylu nominacji– ocenił. Choć Adamski docenia wizualną stronę filmu i jego energię, podchodzi do tego rekordu z rezerwą.To dobre, rozrywkowe kino – mieszanka horroru, musicalu i filmu o problemach rasowych – ale nie do końca rozumiem, dlaczego aż 16 nominacji– mówi. Zdaniem krytyka prawdziwym artystycznym ciężarem tegorocznych Oscarów jest „Jedna bitwa po drugiej” Paula Thomasa Andersona z obsadą, w której znaleźli się Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn i Benicio Del Toro.Uważam, że ten film bardziej zasługuje na Oscara dla najlepszego filmu niż Grzesznicy– ocenił. Adamski przewiduje też, że Anderson – twórca „Magnolii”, „Mistrza” czy „Boogie Nights” – wreszcie doczeka się statuetki za reżyserię.Najbliższy sercu Adamskiego jest jednak Wielki Marty Josha Safdiego – kino sportowe w stylu lat 50., w filmie tym główną rolę zagrał Timothée Chalamet.W kategorii aktorskiej krytyk widzi też „czarnego konia”.Może nim być Ethan Hawke za Blue Moon – kameralny film Richarda Linklatera, który u nas prawie nie zaistniał– wskazał. Wśród aktorek Adamski wskazuje na niemal pewną zwyciężczynię. Jak mówi, to „Jesse Buckley za roe w filmie Hamnet. Duże wrażenie robi na nim także norweski dramat Wartość sentymentalna Joachima Triera, który zdobył dziewięć nominacji. W ocenie komentatora „Stellan Skarsgård ma ogromne szanse na statuetkę za rolę drugoplanową”.Choć w tym roku zabrakło nominacji dla polskiego filmu nieanglojęzycznego, Adamski odnotowuje obecność Polaków w innych kategoriach.Jest nominacja za kostiumy dla Małgorzaty Turzańskiej przy Hamnecie i polski współreżyser animacji krótkometrażowej– mówi. /fa

The biggest names in film celebrated cinema in New York City last night

This week we're excited to present a conversation with One Battle After Another cast member Benicio del Toro as he discusses his performance in Paul Thomas Anderson's new film that's been heralded as one of the year's finest. This conversation was moderated by FLC Senior Programmer Tyler Wilson. Paul Thomas Anderson's most viscerally thrilling film to date is a total blast, an epic, comic adventure of the weird new America that spans years and stretches from across the treacherous rolling-hill highways of the southwest and beyond. Inspired by Thomas Pynchon's Vineland, but with a flavor and cinematic rush that's pure PTA, One Battle After Another is an exhilarating, ultimately moving portrait of undying commitment to family amidst the mania of our contemporary world.

The Brothers discuss Paul Thomas Anderson's 'One Battle After Another,' a movie well worth discussing and probably worth a rewatch or two. They discuss the amazing performances of Benicio Del Toro, Sean Penn, Leonardo DiCaprio, Teyana Taylor, and Chase Infiniti. They also celebrate Gil Scott Heron's 'The Revolution will not be Televised."   Housekeeping starts at 48:24 during which they talk about travelling on Christmas Day, a Drew medical story, and the power of avoidance.   File length 1:15:34 File Size 54.7 MB   Theme by Jul Big Green via SongFinch Subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts Listen to us on Stitcher Like us on Facebook Follow us on Twitter Send your comments to show@notinacreepyway.com Visit the show website at Not In A Creepy Way

As the year winds down and the calendar flips over, we're ringing in the New Year with a special bonus episode dedicated to one of our favorite—and most elusive—writers: Thomas Pynchon. In this New Year's Eve edition of Ticket Stubs, we gather to talk about what Pynchon's work has meant to us over the years, why his voice remains so singular in modern literature, and how his obsessions with paranoia, the past, and slapstick continue to resonate. From there, we dive into One Battle After Another, the recent adaptation of Vineland from director Paul Thomas Anderson, another favorite of ours. Then, we share our thoughts on Pynchon's long-awaited new novel, Shadow Ticket, before closing things out by putting our cards on the table with our own personal rankings of his novels. Whether you're a longtime Pynchon devotee, a curious newcomer, or just looking to close out the year with a little chaos and conspiratorial joy, we hope you'll spend what's left of 2025, or perhaps even the earliest part of 2026...or actually anytime in the foreseeable (or not?) future...with us. Any and all digressions are welcome when it comes to discussing this artist and his work. And believe me, we take digressions aplenty! As always, please like, subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and wherever else you listen. Got thoughts or questions? Email us at huffmanbrothersproductions@gmail.com.

Nobody is going home on leave. We have only won the war. The Draft Class has just begun.Joining Jon Saks for the Final Round of the BENICIO DEL TORO Draft - SPECIAL GUESTS!Jake Estes

Throughout his storied career, the legendary Steven Soderbergh has directed a wide array of highly acclaimed films and/or hits (Out of Sight, Ocean's 11, Magic Mike, Black Bag, Logan Lucky, Contagion, Sex, Lies, & Videotape) and THIS is the film which earned him his only Oscar for Best Director in 2000.  This was actually one of two films (the other being Erin Brockovich) which he was nominated for in 2000 which turned out to be a TRULY stellar year for him!  It's a sprawling story about the American "War on Drugs" during the late '90's, focusing on several different characters on different sides of the law and various levels of the drug trade including two DEA agents (Don Cheadle, Luis Guzman), a judge who has just been appointed the National Drug Czar (Michael Douglas), the wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) of a suspected drug dealer (Steven Bauer), that couple's conniving attorney (Dennis Quaid), a teenager (Erika Christiansen) who becomes addicted to crack, and one conflicted Mexican cop (Benicio Del Toro who won an Oscar for his performance).  It's a complex story delving into a lot of moral grey areas and it's a testament to all of the talent involved (including Oscar-winning writer Stephen Gaghan) that this film was not only highly acclaimed but also a word-of-mouth blockbuster with audiences at the time of release.  However twenty-five years later, it is not often mentioned by many as among Soderbergh's best....so how does this ambitious ensemble hold up?  Let's find out if any one gets away clean.....Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Get access to this entire episode as well as all of our premium episodes and bonus content by becoming a Hit Factory Patron for just $5/month.Better late than never, we're back with a conversation about Paul Thomas Anderson's recent critical and box office sensation One Battle After Another. PTA loosely adapts (and updates) Thomas Pynchon's 1990 novel Vineland, setting the story against the backdrop of an indeterminate moment in the 21st century to tell a story of washed-up revolutionary Bob Ferguson (Leonardo DiCaprio), who is dragged back into the fray when an old enemy (Sean Penn) resurfaces and threatens his teenage daughter (Chase Infiniti). The film represents the first time in over 20 years that Anderson has set a story in contemporary times, and he uses the opportunity to examine the current landscape of America, its political fissures, and to lay out his personal vision of a hopeful future staked out by the next generation...But Anderson also readily betrays the limits of his political vision, and his myopic understanding of the circumstances that have produced and perpetuated this country's bigotries and oppressive hierarchies. While One Battle After Another offers countless pleasures as an obeject of undeniable cinematic energy and craftsmanship, it fails to elucidate a coherent sociopolitical ideology, even as it readily co-opts and aestheticizes the langauge and iconography of radical leftwing militancy.We unpack the film's many contradictions, and key in to what makes OBAA a simultaneously riveting and frustrating watch. Then, we discuss the film's treatment of race and the cadre of brilliant Black actresses who mine depth and nuance out of Anderson's elliptical storytelling. Finally, we call for a deeper discourse about the film that makes room for its many contradictions and shortcomings, arguing that these jagged edges make the film a more urgent and enduring work than insistences on its perfection.Read Angelica Jade Bastién, on One Battle After Another at VultureRead Lyvie Scott on One Battle After Another at Inverse....Our Theme Song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish.

"No fear. Like Tom f---ing Cruise." One Battle After Another is Paul Thomas Anderson like you've never seen him before. Gripping you from the first second of its barnburner opening montage, Anderson synthesizes his typical mastery of emotional stakes with the very unexpected: action chops. We discuss his love for Terminator 2, another all-timer Leonardo DiCaprio performance, and the star turn of one Chase Infiniti. Even middle-of-the-road PTA is good enough for a spot in the best of the decade. Hell, make it two decades.

This story mainly focuses on a former revolutionary father (Oscar-Winner Leonardo DiCaprio) and his daugther (Chase Infiniti) in the midst of an ongoing revolution when suddenly both are on the run from a determined government agent (Oscar-Winner Sean Penn) who initially arrested their former revolutionary wife/mother (Teyana Taylor) sixteen years prior.  But of course this new highly acclaimed satirical political thriller/domestic drama from Multiple Oscar-nominee (but not yet winner) Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie Nights, The Phantom Thread, Licorice Pizza, Magnolia) is about MUCH more than that....or is it?  Regardless this film almost defies genre and also co-stars Oscar-winner Benicio Del Toro, Regina Hall, Wood Harris, and Alaina Haim among several others.  Let's see if this lives up the hype....Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

RUNDOWN   (352) is Gainesville, Florida — home of the University of Florida. They reflect on Petty's legendary catalog, from “American Girl” to “Free Fallin',” his Beatles-inspired path to music, and his legacy in Gators football culture. Mitch and Hotshot recap the Seahawks' nail-biting win in Glendale, where a late Jason Meyers field goal sealed the victory to move Seattle to 3–1. They turn to the Huskies' tough loss against Ohio State, noting costly penalties and red-zone failures that made the final score more lopsided than the game felt. The Mariners closed the regular season with a sweep at the hands of the Dodgers but secured the No. 2 seed at 90–72. Joe Doyle and Brady Farkas join Mitch to debate whether the late skid matters, the state of the bullpen (Bazardo vs. Brash in high-leverage spots, Munoz's control issues), and the playoff rotation order. They also spar over Cal Raleigh's MVP case against Aaron Judge and whether Seattle should prefer Cleveland or Detroit in the ALDS. The Seahawks dominated for three quarters in Arizona before letting the Cardinals storm back with 17 unanswered points, needing Jason Myers' last-second field goal to escape with a win. The No-Table crew weighs Sam Darnold's poise, Mike Macdonald's conservative late-game decisions, the defense's lapses, and the ongoing questions with the run game and offensive line. Mitch welcomes CBS Sports' Rick Neuheisel, presented by Taco Time Northwest, for his weekly whip-around of the college football world. They break down Washington's missed opportunities against Ohio State, Alabama's statement win at Georgia, and why depth in the trenches separates contenders from pretenders. Rick also weighs in on Penn State's playoff chances, Miami–Florida State as a marquee matchup, and hands out his Chicken Caesar Taco awards before making his Week 6 pick.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst, Over-Slot Substack Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Gators, Guitar Lessons, and the Great Tom Petty 9:05 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 13:20 | Seahawks Hold On, Huskies Fall Short, Mariners Await Their Opponent 35:47 | GUEST: Mariners No-Table; Mariners Finish 90–72, Set for ALDS with Questions Looming 1:00:26 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks Survive Scare in Glendale 1:27:02 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; on Huskies, Bama's Revival, and the Week Ahead in College Football 1:56:57 | Other Stuff Segment: Hotshot raves about the film One Battle After Another with Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, and Regina Hall, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, calling it the best movie he's seen in a decade, while Mitch celebrates that the Astros have been eliminated from the playoffs and notes the Mariners' upcoming intrasquad scrimmages at T-Mobile.
