Francis Ford Coppola is no stranger to highly publicized cinematic debacles, but few have been as long in the making as MEGALOPOLIS. The GODFATHER director put up $120 million of his own money to fund this decades-old passion project, a philosophical sci-fi epic plagued by trouble all the way from production to its disastrous reception. With help from VULTURE's Bilge Ebiri, we consider whether it's another misunderstood masterpiece— or if it was understood very well indeed.You can find more from Bilge at https://www.vulture.com/author/bilge-ebiri/Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.You can support us on Patreon at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/unwatchables to get access to exclusive bonus content and weigh in on what we watch next.Find us online at www.unwatchablespod.com or shoot us an email at unwatchablespodcast@gmail.com.

It's the OUT OF SIGHT episode, and our guest is Bilge Ebiri. Do we need to sell you on this? OK, fine: in 1998 Steven Soderbergh took a job for hire directing an Elmore Leonard adaptation and ended up finding the style that would define much of his career, minting George Clooney as a movie star, capturing Jennifer Lopez's best-ever performance, working with Don Cheadle and Luis Guzman and a bunch of other people for the first time, and making one of the most watchable films of the 1990s. Jake also read the whole book. We talk about Leonard's moral universe, prison stuff, cop stuff, crime fiction stuff. I mean, come on. It's the OUT OF SIGHT episode with Bilge.

It's Die Hard on a suburban street!This week on DIE HARD ON A BLANK, we're looking into the most sinister street in America…ARLINGTON ROAD! And to investigate this mysterious neighborhood we enlisted special guest and returning DHOAB all-star Bilge Ebiri!After saving their son's life, widowed college professor and terrorism expert Michael Faraday (Jeff Bridges) gradually begins to suspect that his seemingly perfect new neighbors - Oliver and Cheryl Lang (Tim Robbins and Joan Cusack) - are involved in a domestic terror plot. As he mounts a rogue investigation into their lives, Faraday's obsession with uncovering the truth spirals into paranoia, isolation, and a deadly battle of wills, one that threatens not only his life, but that of his young son Grant (Spencer Treat Clark). During this wide-ranging discussion about this eerily prescient film, the guys go into detail on the career of boomer icon Jeff Bridges (with Bridges scholar Bilge) and discuss the genius of casting Tim Robbins against type as a terrifying villain.

Hang onto your slipcases because Blake Howard (One Heat Minute Productions) and special guest Bilge Ebiri (film critic/writer/editor at New York Magazine) collaborate to dissect a special CRITERION COLLECTION release.ThiefThe contemporary American auteur Michael Mann's bold artistic sensibility was already fully formed when he burst out of the gate with Thief, his debut feature. James Caan stars, in one of his most riveting performances, as a no-nonsense ex-con professional thief planning to leave the criminal world behind after one last score—but he discovers that escape is not as simple as he'd hoped. Finding hypnotic beauty in neon and rain-slick streets, sparks and steel, Thief effortlessly established the moody stylishness, tactile approach, and drama that would also define such later iconic Mann films as Heat, The Insider, Ali, and The Last of the Mohicans.DIRECTOR-APPROVED 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration of the director's cut, supervised and approved by director Michael Mann, with 5.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrackOne 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special featuresAudio commentary featuring Mann and actor James CaanInterviews with Mann, Caan, and Johannes Schmoelling of the band Tangerine Dream, which contributed the film's soundtrackTrailerEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingPLUS: An essay by critic Nick JamesCover by Fred DavisBILGE EBIRI: BILGE EBIRI IS A FILM CRITIC/WRITER/EDITOR AT NEW YORK MAGAZINE.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 20, 2024 is: amiable • AY-mee-uh-bul • adjective Someone or something described as amiable is friendly and agreeable. // Both children have amiable dispositions, which makes them easy to travel with. See the entry > Examples: "An amiable, Honda Civic–driving, bird-watching Everyman in shorts and glasses, Gary somehow turns out to be the perfect fake assassin." — Bilge Ebiri, Vulture, 24 May 2024 Did you know? Amiable has its roots in amīcus the Latin word for "friend," and can ultimately be traced back to the verb amare, meaning "to love." English has been friendly with amiable since the 14th century, at which time it meant "pleasing" or "admirable" (a sense that is now obsolete). The current, familiar senses of "generally agreeable" and "friendly and sociable" came centuries later. Amare has also given English speakers such words as amative and amorous (both meaning "strongly moved by love"), amour ("a usually illicit love affair"), and even amateur (which originally meant "admirer"). And that's just the tip of the amare iceberg: its influence on Romance languages is nothing short of integral. The Spanish word for "friendship" is amistad, the French word for "friend" is ami, and the Italian word for "love"? That's amore.

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today we talk about the best Chris - Chris Pine of course! Our B-Sides include Small Town Saturday Night, People Like Us, The Finest Hours, Outlaw King, All The Old Knives, and Poolman. It's a packed episode! And it's just Conor and Dan, ripping it up like the old days.  A lot of the conversation revolves around how charming Pine is. There's also discussion of that underwhelming ending of The Finest Hours, what about Small Town Saturday Night resonates with young filmmakers, the brave opening of Outlaw King, the old-fashioned crackle of All The Old Knives (and that incredible restaurant location), and the lackluster direction of People Like Us. Questions are asked such as: Is there anything better than a tired spy? Who is the best Jack Ryan? Why does this Big Daddy clip feature the funniest ADR line in the history of cinema? Additional topics include Jordan and Dan's fateful trip to see an early screening of Avatar in late 2009, the stark difference (despite career similarities) between Pine and Ryan Reynolds, the incredible show Psych, and this spot-on Bilge Ebiri article about the Argylle release and why it matters. Finally, Conor and Dan try to understand why people hate the very charming, very Los Angeles Poolman so much. Though there should've been more pool stuff in Poolman!

It's Die Hard on Alcatraz!This time on the show, Phil and Liam attempt not to explode with excitement as they discuss Michael Bay's 1996 all-star action classic THE ROCK, with special guest Bilge Ebiri!When a group of highly trained Marines led by decorated general Francis X. Hummel (Ed Harris) take over Alcatraz and threaten to launch VX poison gas missiles at mainland San Francisco, the government are forced to turn to two unlikely heroes: eccentric FBI chemical weapons specialist Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage) and enigmatic prisoner John Patrick Mason (Sean Connery), the only man to have ever escape from the legendary penitentiary. Phil, Liam and Bilge discuss their memories of seeing this iconic movie upon its initial release, and their respective relationships with it over the years since. They lay out the film's numerous connections to DIE HARD in the ‘Die Hard DNA' section and dig deep on its under-discussed thematics, particularly with regards to its complex exploration of patriotism. As always, they analyze the film's heroes, Mason and Goodspeed - two highly innovative characters both played by iconic actors - and debate whether Ed Harris' General Hummel might be the greatest action movie ‘villain' of all time. They also talk about as many members of the film's astonishing supporting cast as time will allow, including the likes of David Morse, Michael Biehn, William Forsythe, Jon Spencer, Tony Todd, Claire Forlani, Vanessa Marcil, Todd Louiso, Gregory Sporleder and many more!Finally, the guys break into the ‘Die Hard Oscars' to dispense some action movie awards, and wrap things up with a particularly tricky edition of the ‘Double Jeopardy' trivia quiz! THE ROCK trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3qcNyjj9ZQAt the time of release, THE ROCK is streaming on Fubo and FXNow in the US and is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple/iTunes, Fandango and all the usual platforms!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/die-hard-on-a-blank/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

On this week's episode I'm thrilled to be rejoined by Brandon Struessnig and Bilge Ebiri, who spearhead Vulture's annual Stunt Awards. We talked about the year's big winner, John Wick Chapter 4, how folks kind of have to decide for themselves how much CGI is too much CGI when determining what counts as practical and what counts as digital, and compiling the 100 most influential fight scenes of all time. Some important links for you:  The winners of the 2024 stunt awards; Brandon's tribute to Henry Kingi; The 100 most influential fights in action cinema; And a preview of The Fall Guy.

We've run out of Clint Eastwood movies that fit our weird criteria, and now we're gonna talk about what we've learned from this whole endeavor. Where we are on Clint, on the auteur theory, on thinking about film, on thinking about political art, on each other, on the prospect of ever doing anything - it's all here for your inspection, dear listener.   Oh and also we reveal what we're doing next! We're very excited about it and we hope you will be, too. Here's a hint: I'm going to start reading the Bible.   We can't thank you all enough for joining us through the Clint Eastwood ouvre. Your support, however worrisome to your friends and family, has meant a ton to us. We set out to make a podcast that we'd like to listen to, and it turned out that whatever's wrong with us has been afflicting other people too. Thank you to all the friends we've made through doing the show, thank you to the brave listeners who simply download episodes and leave us alone about it, thank you to the folks who support us on Patreon, thank you to the clearly more mentally stable folks who don't do that, and thank you to the handful of dangerous freaks who send us too many emails. We love you all.   We'd also like to say a huge thank you to all the unbelievable guests who have joined us over the past year and change. You made us feel like real boys and you made the show a lot better, too. Our undying gratitude to Forrest Tiffany, John Semley, Eric Markovits, Chris Alfonso, Nick Newman, Dr. Joe Street, Aaron and Carlee from Hit Factory, Dr. Laurie R. Lambert, Jesse Thorn, Jordannah Elizabeth, Jonah Jeng, Marie Bardi-Salinas, Chadd Harbold, Jack Sinclair, Nima Shirazi, Jesse Hawken, Molly Lambert, Jamie Loftus, Jarrod Murray, Glenn Heath, Jr., Comrade Yui, Bilge Ebiri, Andrew Ti, Ian Green, Jordan Fish, Ray Tintori, and Will Sloan. We are truly lucky punks.   We're taking a couple weeks off to get ready for the next thing and to apologize to our partners for all of this, but we'll see you in March with all-new, all-nude episodes of Pod Casty For Me.   https://www.podcastyforme.com/ Follow Pod Casty For Me: https://twitter.com/podcastyforme https://www.instagram.com/podcastyforme/ https://www.youtube.com/@podcastyforme Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PodCastyForMe Artwork by Jeremy Allison: https://www.instagram.com/jeremyallisonart      

Bilge Ebiri joins the pod to talk Michael Mann's Ferarri! We chat about the film's multidimensional themes, its subtle subversion of conventional sports tropes, and the powerful way its irreconcilable conflicts and philosophical tensions linger long after the initial viewing. We also discuss Bilge's Top 5 Sports Movies and the state of the genre. *A preemptive apologies for the mixed vocal quality. There was a mic issue that caused a postproduction headache.* Enjoy!

The film writer Brandon Streussnig (Vulture, Fangoria, GQ) joins the pod for a discussion about the undersung director Peter Hyams through four of his science fiction movies across a career full of genre work, films that reveal a singular style can be applied to a craftsman, a former Chicago newsman turned director who also (controversially for his industry) served as his own cinematographer. His all-star conspiracy theory thriller Capricorn One (1977) established Hyams as a filmmaker who could fuse suspense and science-fiction. He would follow this with 1981's Outland, a hybrid of Alien and High Noon starring Sean Connery, criticized at the time for being derivative but which rips when seen today, a dystopic vision of a future world ravaged by capitalism on steroids that actually anticipated the themes and production design of Ridley Scott's Blade Runner the following year. Brandon and I make the case for 2010, Hyams' 1984 sequel to Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, as a worthy followup if not an essential work, offering a hopeful and utopic vision of man's future contrasted against Kubrick's colder take. Set against the topical US/Soviet arms race of the Reagan era and packed with thrills, it's a much better film than you've been led to believe. And of course there's Timecop, the biggest hit Jean-Claude Van Damme ever had. This episode means to introduce you to the work of Peter Hyams, solid entertainments across many genres and ripe for rediscovery.

Vroom vroom! Michael Mann is BACK. Bilge Ebiri is BACK. How do you say “we're so back” in Italian? Join us as we talk about cars that go fast (Ferraris), hair that grows long (Adam Driver's, normally), faces that have seen smart phones (Shailene Woodley's) and character actors that could have been in this movie (Paul Giamatti, but specifically as Pig Vomit). Masculinity is a cage, machines that work the best are the most beautiful, and we all think that the Mille Miglia seems like a bad idea. No grazie!

On this week's show, the hosts begin by jumping into the fantastical world of Wonka, a prequel to Roald Dahl's enduring novel that explores the origins of its famously impish character, Willy Wonka, portrayed here by a wide-eyed, sugary sweet Timothée Chalamet. The musical film, directed by Paul King (Paddington, Paddington 2) isn't the kind of movie you want to pick on–it undoubtedly has a warm heart–but has the effect of watching a lucrative homework assignment. Then, the three switch gears and review Maestro, a biopic (if you can even call it that) about one of America's greatest cultural luminaries and public educators, Leonard Bernstein. Directed by and starring Bradley Cooper as “Lenny,” the film explores Bernstein's complicated marriage with Felicia Montealegre (played spectacularly by Carey Mulligan) and the couple's struggle to balance Lenny's public genius with his life as a closeted gay man. (For more on Cooper's prosthetic nose, read Mark Harris' comprehensive essay for Slate, “The Bradley Cooper ‘Jewface' Controversy Isn't Really About That Nose.”) Finally, the panel is led by ringmaster extraordinaire, Dana Stevens, through Slate's 2023 Movie Club, an annual digital roundtable featuring conversations between prominent film critics and writers as they look back through a year in film. This year, Bilge Ebiri (film critic for New York Magazine and Vulture), entertainment writer Esther Zuckerman, and film historian Mark Harris contribute, along with features from Nadira Goffe, Sam Adams, and the project's editor, Dan Kois.  In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel embraces a post-holiday theme and discusses memorable gifts: their favorites and the ones that got away, inspired by a recent episode from the podcast Scriptnotes.  Email us at culturefest@slate.com.

Last night, Film Comment Editors Clinton Krute and Devika Girish headed a panel of special guests—Bilge Ebiri (critic, Vulture), and Amy Taubin (critic and FC contributing editor)—for a real-time countdown of the films topping our year-end critics' poll. The evening featured a lively discussion (and some hearty debate) about the films as they were unveiled—and now it's here in Podcast form, for your home-listening pleasure. Consider it a holiday gift from us to you, our loyal listeners. Read the full list, plus Best Undistributed Films, individual ballots, and more, here: https://www.filmcomment.com/best-films-of-2023/

Note: We're doing something new this season on Watch With Jen. Usually, I release our end-of-the-year Physical Media conversations across multiple episodes. But in '22, some listeners said they found it slightly confusing to see similar titles a few times in a row & they'd rather have a marathon installment instead so we're trying it in '23 with a supersized, superstar-filled episode. Additionally, rather than ending the season on Physical Media as we've done in the past, this year, you'll still receive a few more outstanding eps after this week's release. (Oh, & if you wondered why I didn't upload a new pod last week, it's because I was researching & recording all of these wonderful conversations!)Clocking in at nearly 3 hours, this episode includes Walter Chaw on Walter Hill's 1979 film THE WARRIORS, Bilge Ebiri on Terrence Malick's DAYS OF HEAVEN, William Boyle, S.A. Cosby, & Sean Burns on Brian De Palma's CARLITO'S WAY, & Nikki Dolson on William Wyler's THE DESPERATE HOURS.

Get ready to sue the LAPD, everybody: this week we're examining Clint's 2008 child abduction docudrama CHANGELING with critic and writer Bilge Ebiri! From the metatextual depth of Angelina Jolie's performance to the film's status as Clint's first ACAB movie to ongoing moves by the state to use forced institutionalization against unhoused and other "inconvenient" people to Bilge's childhood memories of Clint (and of Peter Medak's THE CHANGELING), this is a real corker of a chat! Excited to share it with you, our beloved listeners, whom we love as if you were our own uncircumcised children.

It's Die Hard in an action comedy spy romp!This week on the show, spymasters Phil and Liam have recruited special guest Bilge Ebiri - film critic for Vulture and New York magazine – to analyze TRUE LIES, aka “the American blockbuster riff on the French sex farce” (to quote Liam).     In this bombastic action comedy, seemingly unassuming computer salesman Harry Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is actually living a double life as an international superspy for the US government's mysterious ‘Omega Sector'. Harry has managed to keep this secret from his wife Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis) and daughter Dana (Eliza Dushku) for 15 years, but due to circumstances beyond his control, this grand lie is finally exposed, thrusting Harry, Helen and Dana into grave danger at the hands of a ruthless terrorist organization known as ‘Crimson Jihad'.TRUE LIES was a box office behemoth in the golden summer of 1994, and the guys discuss their memories of its initial release, and their thoughts on how the film's politics have aged over the last three decades. As ever, this heart-warming story of an emotionally estranged husband and wife battling terrorists together contains a surprising high amount of ‘Die Hard DNA', and it turns out that this popcorn blockbuster actually touches on some deeper themes about the American nuclear family.  The trio dig deep on the “reality distortion field” that allowed Arnold to convincingly play a “boring” everyman, sing the praises of the effervescent icon that is Jamie Lee Curtis, and discuss the respective merits of the stellar supporting cast, that includes Tom Arnold, Bill Paxton, Art Malik, Grant Heslov, Charlton Heston and Tia Carrere. There's also plenty of chat about the myriad talents of Mr. James Cameron: king of the world, king of the sequel, and king of the third act.The guys hop in their harrier jump jets and head over to the ‘Die Hard Oscars' to hand out some action movie awards, and as always the frivolity culminates with a delectable trivia quiz that makes you want to stand up and beg for buttermilk! TRUE LIES trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uz45Y50ozxEAt the time of release, TRUE LIES is streaming on Hulu, Paramount +/Apple TV and Fubo.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/die-hard-on-a-blank/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Despite making $360 million dollars and being loved and reviled in equal measure, sometimes I feel like Christopher Nolan's spy-meets-time-travel hard sci-fi epic TENET doesn't exist. The movie came out in the deepest of COVID, and even among those who saw it, more than half were put off by its (at times) unintelligible dialogue and convoluted plot. It has had a few returns to movie theater since, and is available on physical media and digital media, but isn't among his most celebrated or most visible works. But at this moment, in the summer of 2023, it feels like it exists even more than ever. With OPPENHEIMER in movie theaters and enjoying massive success, more and more people seem to be talking about TENET. I'm a big fan. And I wanted to talk about it with another big fan.On this episode, I'm talking to NYMag film critic Bilge Ebiri. Bilge has spent the summer writing and talking about OPPENHEIMER, and his work really brings us into the world of the making of a new classic.We talk about TENET, and- OPPENHEIMER, and how they are speaking to each other. We also talk about Kenneth Branaugh (the best), the anxiety of parenting, Turkish history, how every scene in TENET is the best scene in the movie, and a lot more. We also reveal the secret agenda of this podcast episode: to get TENET re-released in 70mm iMax.Oh, yea, and DARK KNIGHT RISES. It rules.

Join us and Bilge Ebiri (New York Magazine / Vulture) to discuss Christopher Nolan's deconstructed biopic about the man who birthed a very big bomb. Deconstructed narratives, quantum mechanics, moral dilemmas, subjective inflection, brilliant and sure-handed intercutting... and we set the record straight on whether Nolan's films are funny and whether his female characters are poorly developed.

From Holland to Hollywood! 50 MPH talks to New York Magazine film critic Bilge Ebiri about the career and influence of Jan de Bont. They discuss the cinematographer's early days collaborating with a young Paul Verhoeven, his studio success behind the camera of classics like DIE HARD, FLATLINERS and BASIC INSTINCT and his transition to the director's chair from SPEED to TWISTER and beyond.

A film critic for publications such as LA Weekly, New York Magazine, Vulture, The New York Times, and formerly, The Village Voice, the brilliant Bilge Ebiri is one of my favorite journalists working today. Although we've discussed some of his favorite directors like Terrence Malick & Neil Jordan tangentially in the past, I was thrilled to bring him back to the podcast this time to focus on the filmmaker who helmed his favorite movie of all time Barry Lyndon. An engaging and insightful journey into Ebiri's own life & career exploring the work of Stanley Kubrick, which is one of his particular areas of expertise, over the course of two jam-packed hours of conversation, we explore the films Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, & The Shining. Unable to stop asking him questions about the rest of Kubrick's filmography, the result is a highly entertaining, story-filled exchange that's sure to be a new favorite among cinephiles. Moreover, following the podcast's three most recent installments covering French Crime Movies, the oeuvre of actor-producers Amy Robinson & Griffin Dunne, & the Ranown Westerns of Budd Boetticher, this episode is the perfect way to close out what has unofficially become Watch With Jen's Criterion Collection-centric July.

On this week's episode, I'm joined by Bilge Ebiri and Brandon Streussnig to talk about Vulture's enormous feature on the best stunts of 2022. Part celebration of the year in action, part plea for the Oscars to finally recognize stunt performers and performances as a category worthy of notice, the inaugural Stunt Awards is a feast for any lover of action (and action-adjacent) cinema. Among the issues discussed this week are why some professionals think an Oscar for stunts is a bad—even potentially dangerous—idea, how to think about rewarding these performers, and the sad fact that some of the best, most kinetic action you'll find never makes it to theaters at all.

In 1993, Steven Spielberg released two of his most famous films: "Jurassic Park" and "Schindler's List." Both films combined won a total of 10 Oscars at the 1994 Academy Awards. How he was able to pull it off? And what makes Spielberg a director who can successfully direct two completely different kinds of films to equal success? Joining us to discuss Spielberg's 1993 and his career as a whole, including his latest Best Picture nominee "The Fabelmans," is Bilge Ebiri, film critic for New York Magazine and Vulture. Plus, we'll take calls from listeners on their favorite Spielberg flicks.

We are not finished talking about ATHENA by Romain Gavras. This time we let film critic Bilgi Ebiri do all the talking. We also get into marketing versus promotion and how even a film like ATHENA can get lost in all the noise.
