Former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback and national champion Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie for a deep dive into the latest Alabama Football storylines, led by Kalen DeBoer officially naming Keelon Russell the Crimson Tide's starting quarterback. Coker gives a former QB's perspective on what happens behind the scenes when a coach names his starter, sharing stories from his own private conversations with Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher. He also explains why Austin Mack still has to prepare like Alabama's starter every single week — because a backup quarterback is always just one play away. The guys also break down Alabama's projected offensive line, why continuity and chemistry up front are so important for pass protection, the latest Crimson Tide injury updates, and the competitive kicking battle between Graham Nicholson and Conor Talty. Plus, Jake and Mick discuss the changing landscape of NCAA eligibility and roster rules, including the possibility of players with NFL experience returning to college football. And it wouldn't be a conversation with Jake Coker without getting off the football field. The guys get into Charles Barkley and Larry Bird stories, Dwight Yoakam, Billy Bob Thornton, the legendary Kenny Chesney Flora-Bama concert, golf, smoking brisket and why Jake would rather spend a weekend with his family than five hours on the golf course.

The Baller Lifestyle Podcast

Episode 624 is here, and Brian Beckner and Ed Daly are covering an absolutely unhinged collection of stories from sports, entertainment, celebrity culture, and the internet. The guys open with a look back at the history of The Baller Lifestyle and the show's long-running inside joke behind the name before immediately getting into some truly bizarre territory. IN THIS EPISODE: The World's Smallest Penis Gets a Growth Spurt The man who claims to have the world's smallest penis has an enhancement procedure scheduled, funded in part by a surprisingly successful GoFundMe. Brian and Ed discuss the economics of internet sympathy, cosmetic procedures, and why people will apparently donate thousands of dollars to almost anything. The Silent iTunes Song Hack A brilliant old-school solution to the problem of your car automatically playing the first song in your iTunes library: a song consisting almost entirely of silence. The guys discuss the strange genius of solving technological annoyances with an even stranger technological workaround. ️ RIP: Vincent Pastore The guys remember the actor best known as Big Pussy Bonpensiero from The Sopranos and revisit one of the show's most memorable storylines. RIP: Don Nelson A look at the legendary NBA player and coach, including his championship career, his time with the Warriors and Mavericks, and his disastrous stint coaching the Knicks. RIP: Ben Jones / Cooter from The Dukes of Hazzard Brian and Ed discuss the actor behind one of television's most recognizable Southern characters. RIP: Glen Hansard The guys talk about the acclaimed Irish musician and his connection to The Commitments, along with the dangers of motorcycles. RIP: Tom Chadbon A brief tribute to the actor whose credits included Game of Thrones and Casino Royale. RIP: William Orbit The legendary producer's passing leads into a discussion of his work with Madonna, Blur, and other major artists. RIP: Robbie Albarado The guys remember the two-time Preakness-winning jockey and discuss the brutal physical demands of professional horse racing. Influencers, bizarre deaths & the internet Brian and Ed continue their unofficial investigation into the increasingly strange world of influencers, including a discussion of dangerous stunts and mysterious deaths. SPORTS Former NFL Receiver Arrested at a Bowling Alley Former NFL wide receiver Stedman Bailey is arrested after police allegedly find him engaged in sexual activity at a Florida mall bowling and arcade venue. Brian and Ed attempt to understand the decision-making involved in having sex in a public place surrounded by people who are literally there to bowl. The $800,000 Sports Betting Dispute A bettor claims he won nearly $800,000, only for Caesars to void the tickets over alleged violations of betting rules. Brian and Ed debate the fine print, sportsbooks, and whether casinos should be allowed to find technicalities when they don't want to pay a massive winning ticket. The Shohei Ohtani / Ippei Mizuhara Gambling Saga The conversation turns to gambling addiction, bookies, and the enormous amount of money reportedly lost in the Ohtani gambling scandal. Alleged NFL Player Investment Scam The guys discuss Mohamed Koulibaly, who was accused of running an e-commerce/investment scheme involving former NFL players before being found dead in a New Jersey swimming pool. Zach Hample Is Still Catching Everything The infamous baseball home-run ball hawk is back in the conversation after nearly catching another historic baseball. Brian and Ed discuss Hample's ability to predict where baseballs are going — and whether being a professional home-run ball collector is one of the world's most annoying hobbies. The Mookie Betts Foul Ball That Got Away Brian revisits the time Mookie Betts hit a foul ball directly toward him and he failed to make the catch, despite being perfectly positioned. Former Cal State Bakersfield Coach Gets Prison Time An update on the former Cal State Bakersfield basketball coach who was convicted in connection with a prostitution operation. VOICEMAILS & LISTENER MAIL Lala LSU Calls In The voicemail segment returns with Lala LSU, including a reminder of his signature sign-off and his now-infamous song. Should The Baller Lifestyle Do 75 Hard? Brian considers taking on another round of 75 Hard, potentially involving listeners and an additional daily guitar-practice requirement. The guys discuss discipline, habit formation, goal setting, and whether committing to a structured challenge through Thanksgiving could provide some much-needed motivation. Hash Browns vs. Home Fries A listener wants to settle one of the most important debates in breakfast history. Brian and Ed pick sides — while acknowledging that certain Irish-style breakfast potatoes may deserve consideration. Cocaine Wars: Tim Raines vs. Doc Gooden The Baller Lifestyle's unofficial Cocaine Wars returns. This time the competitors are two MLB legends: Tim "Rock" Raines Dwight "Doc" Gooden The guys discuss the notorious cocaine use of both players, including Raines' infamous habit of carrying cocaine in his uniform pocket and Gooden's struggles with addiction during his spectacular but troubled career. And, of course, the show gets another custom AI-generated Cocaine Wars theme song. The "Rot" Has Set In A listener submits a bizarre take on Mets rookie pitcher Jeffrey Yan celebrating after a strikeout, leading Brian and Ed into a discussion about player celebrations, individuality, ego, and the increasingly dramatic policing of professional athletes' behavior. How Often Do You Check Your Fly? A listener asks the guys how frequently they make sure their zipper is actually zipped. This leads to an unfortunately detailed discussion of zipper-related injuries and Brian's history of unfortunate encounters with his own pants. The Technology Problem Brian and Ed discuss the strange reality of modern technology, convenience, smartphones, and the idea that we're increasingly tethered to the machines in our pockets. The conversation eventually reaches Ted Kaczynski, The Terminator, data centers, and the uncomfortable possibility that some of the concerns about technology were not entirely insane — even if the methods were. PATREON / BONUS CONTENT The regular episode wraps up with a reminder that the show continues exclusively for Patreon subscribers. Brian and Ed then dive into even more bizarre stories, including: ️ The Influencer Who Allegedly Had Relationships With 50–75 Prisoners An internet personality allegedly maintained relationships with dozens of incarcerated men, leaving Brian and Ed with one major unanswered question: How exactly was she getting access to all these inmates? Death's Door A young couple disappears while kayaking near Wisconsin's infamous Death's Door, a dangerous stretch of water with a long history of shipwrecks. The story leads to a discussion about questionable vacation activities, kayaking, and whether any place called Death's Door should ever be on your travel itinerary. Yellowstone, Landman & Billy Bob Thornton Brian and Ed discuss the strange world of modern television, including Yellowstone, Landman, Billy Bob Thornton's unlikely commercial career, and the increasingly surreal nature of celebrity advertising. Robert Carradine / Revenge of the Nerds The guys discuss the tragic death of Robert Carradine and the lawsuit filed by his family against UCLA, while talking about mental illness, institutional responsibility, and the difficult circumstances surrounding his death. ️ Washington, D.C. Relationship Drama The episode closes with a particularly messy Washington political relationship story involving Eric Swalwell, Stephen Miller's former wife, Steve Bannon, and Elon Musk. Brian and Ed examine the strange intersection of politics, celebrity, sex, power, and Washington's seemingly endless relationship drama.

Anthony Lima, and Lance Reisland rave about Jared Verse after meeting him in person, with Ruiter calling him a physical "unit" and pushing back on fans who think Andrew Berry got fleeced in the Myles Garrett trade. They note Verse has publicly rejected comparisons to Garrett, wanting to set his own standard, while Reisland cautions that Verse still has to earn the respect that forces offenses to game-plan around him the way they always did for Garrett. The conversation shifts to Berry's comparison of Todd Monken to Billy Bob Thornton's character in "Landman," with the group agreeing Monken's authenticity and communication skills feel like a refreshing departure from the more guarded Kevin Stefanski.

Free Thinking Through the Fourth Turning with Sasha Stone
Can Paramount Skydance Save Hollywood From Itself?

Free Thinking Through the Fourth Turning with Sasha Stone

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 29, 2026 20:53


Hollywood is not trying to stop a monopoly by blocking the Paramount Skydance merger with Warner Bros. It's trying to protect one.If a monopoly means near-complete control over what gets made, promoted, and rewarded, then much of Hollywood and the cultural institutions around it operate under the ideological consensus of the Left and the Democratic Party. Why do the Obamas have a long-running production deal at Netflix? Why do the Emmys consistently elevate late-night hosts whose politics align with that consensus? Jimmy Kimmel, John Oliver, Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart? Do you think they'd ever nominate Greg Gutfeld, whose show often tops them all in ratings? If that isn't an ideological monopoly, I don't know what is. Why did major awards shows stay silent on Charlie Kirk? Why did so many artists cancel Kennedy Center appearances after its Trump-era changes, and why did multiple acts drop out of America 250 events?David Ellison and Paramount Skydance are attempting something brave and unprecedented: an outside challenge to that consensus. Their roughly $110 billion bid for Warner Bros. Discovery would give them control of a major studio, HBO/Max, CNN, and a large portfolio of cable and streaming assets. While there has been some resistance to the biggest mergers in recent history, we've never seen anything like #blockthemerger. Meet the new resistance, same as the old resistance. 12 state attorneys general, including California, have sued to block the deal. The Writers Guild of America has filed its own antitrust lawsuit. SAG-AFTRA has publicly opposed the merger, though it has not joined the litigation. Opposition also includes the Future Film Coalition (which leads the #BlockTheMerger campaign), Democracy Defenders Fund, Committee for the First Amendment, Free Press, the International Documentary Association, and the American Economic Liberties Project, among others. More than 5,600 industry figures have signed an open letter against the deal, including Mark Ruffalo, Jane Fonda, Javier Bardem, Elliot Page, Emma Thompson, Ben Stiller, and Cynthia Nixon.Paramount Skydance has, for now, delayed closing. Can they hold the line under this unprecedented pressure campaign? Hope springs eternal. But you won't read about that point of view in any of the trades. They're a monopoly, too. Most of them are owned by the same entity, Penske Eldridge. Just today, it was announced that the Hollywood Foreign Press, the former owners of the Golden Globes, are suing Jay Penske for $150 million. They are claiming Penske orchestrated their downfall so he could buy the Golden Globes. Jay Penske already owns Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, Indiewire, Gold Derby predicting site, Rolling Stone, a virtual monopoly on the awards race from soup to nuts. Gold Derby shapes the nominees, the trades take ads from the studios and the Golden Globes hand out the awards. But wouldn't you know, when Rebecca Keegan wrote a hit piece on me, she did so in the Hollywood Reporter, owned by Penske Eldridge. I was a vocal and prominent critic of Penske's growing monopolistic power on the awards race and one of the few willing to speak out. With one hit piece, the Penske company took out both a competitor for ad money and a pesky nuisance for the brand. That is what you call a monopoly. A Climate of Fear and A Culture of SilenceI found out firsthand how monopolies work in Hollywood when I was canceled in 2024. The day a Hollywood Reporter story labeled me a “MAGA darling,” one studio pulled its ads from my site that day. The last thing they wanted was to be associated with an accused and condemned witch.It was shocking how many of them fell in line in robotic fashion, gripped with fear. The response was swift and uniform. Every writer on my site left to protect their reputations. Friends of fifteen years ended the friendship. My Oscars ticket was revoked. Jane Fonda's Women's Media Center fired me from their annual Oscars report. Screening and party invitations dried up. I was benched on Gold Derby.Worst of all, the lucrative studio ad buys for the Oscars and Emmys vanished. As it all collapsed, I remembered in 2012, an advertising strategist telling me I could be making far more money if I sold the site better. “You have no baggage to speak of,” she'd said.That was true then. I was one of the few independent Oscar sites left, and still am, known around town for being honest to a fault. I stayed independent even as the ad money made life more comfortable for me and my daughter than it had ever been.There was never any question why my career ended in Hollywood: I had been outed as a Trump voter. I was on the wrong side of Hollywood's progressive orthodoxy, and that meant I was finished.How it started…I started Oscarwatch.com as a single mom with a one-year-old baby living in a studio guest house in Van Nuys, California, in 1999. I was an early web pioneer with a 1200-baud modem and a really good idea. I was already catching the attention of publicists and rocking the boat, as all of us amateurs did back then. We were moving fast and breaking things. Traditional media was not ready. The studios weren't either. They were used to having a monopoly on Oscar FYC ads in Variety and the Hollywood Reporter, their bread and butter. Until the blogs came along.By 2006, I was starting to make money because my little site had birthed a big bang of other Oscar sites, and by then even the New York Times had an Oscar blogger, the late great David Carr, who called himself the Carpetbagger.David Carr became a mentor of sorts and encouraged me to sell ads for myself, rather than piggyback off bigger sites. I was working three jobs by then: as a horoscope writer under a pseudonym (Laura Wilde), a janitor working my dad's routes because he was a good guy and knew I needed the money, and a freelance film critic.Right around then, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences sued me for trademark infringement, and my site was renamed AwardsDaily.com. Now I was cleared to start making real money.David Carr was horrified that I was working as a janitor while the trades were raking in millions on Oscar ads and encouraged me to start sending out RFPs. But I didn't have to, because before long the studios were sending them to me. My site became so influential that I never really had to pitch to them. They all wanted real estate on my site. Who could ever have imagined that? Certainly not me, someone who got online in 1994 back when no one thought you could make money on the internet.One of the first studios that bought ads was Fox Searchlight, an awards subsidiary of Fox. I called it Big Fox and Little Fox, and both advertised on my site. When I got my first $15,000 just to run ads, I was stunned. That was more money than I had ever seen on a check. I was just kind of faking it, pretending I knew what I was doing, but I really didn't.Of course, it was also about promoting films the studio wanted to place in the Oscar race, and that's still what it's about. It's not exactly pay-to-play, but most of the bloggers making money in the Oscar game are grateful and help keep the advertisers' movies prominent. I did too.I barely noticed in 2019 when Disney bought Fox for $71 billion. The Writers Guild objected to the merger, just as they have to the Paramount Skydance merger with Warner Bros., but there was nowhere near the same amount of public outcry.Trump praised the Disney/Fox merger after having attempted to stop the 2018 merger of AT&T and Time Warner, leading to a trial, but the judge ruled against the Trump administration, and the deal went through. Again, no major public outcry.At some point after 2020, I'd noticed that Disney had stopped advertising on my site. I wrote it off as their shying away from my comments on “gender affirming care” for kids. I'll never know exactly why, but all I do know is that once the merger went through, Fox and Fox Searchlight also stopped advertising. The Paramount/Skydance merger with Warner Bros. is significantly higher and covers more territory than any of the major corporate mergers we've seen as Hollywood reshuffles the deck amid the shift to streaming. Warner Bros. was selling. The only question was whether Netflix or Paramount Skydance would buy it. Both deals would have had the blessing of the Trump administration.But because it's David Ellison and the team that bought CBS, and because Trump is an ally, the Democrats and the Left have turned #BlockTheMerger into another No Kings protest or battle for the “resistance.”After the story about me broke in the Hollywood Reporter, Netflix also stopped advertising. No other studio except Focus Features, an adjunct of Universal, had the courage to run ads on my site. I was now officially blacklisted. Emails to the various studio reps went unanswered.This past year, Paramount bought a modest ad package on my site for the Emmys to celebrate the success of Landman and The Madison. I felt lucky to get it, and it was a sign, at least to me, that Paramount, like Focus Features, was brave enough to take a chance on someone deemed too toxic by the industry.Landman, Taylor Sheridan's Billy Bob Thornton drama, had become one of Paramount+'s biggest hits: its first season averaged 15.8 million viewers in Nielsen's cross-platform ratings and ranked among the top 10 series of the 2024-25 season. Season 2 opened to a Paramount+ record 9.2 million views in its first few days and continued to dominate the streaming charts, at one point leading all multiplatform viewing with more than 14 million. The Madison, starring Michelle Pfeiffer, launched as Sheridan's biggest series debut yet, drawing 8 million views in its first 10 days.But unfortunately, #blockthemerger had bled into the awards ecosystem, which remains a closed loop. Sure enough, when the Emmy nominations arrived, the Paramount shows were completely blanked—even Billy Bob Thornton in Landman and Michelle Pfeiffer in The Madison. Kathy Bates was similarly overlooked for Matlock.If Gold Derby shapes the Emmy nominations, and they do, they have to similarly play ball by blacklisting all Paramount Plus's most popular shows, proving to American audiences that the industry does not care about what they want or what they watch. Sheridan has transformed much of the television landscape, thanks to Paramount Plus. If Paramount buys Warner Bros., they won't be creating a monopoly but breaking one up. The Death RattleI know I should walk away from this industry and give up the site that took me 26 years to build. But I just can't do that. I can't let them win. Now that I've walked in the shoes of the other half of the country, I can clearly see why Hollywood's empire is collapsing. If ratings and box office don't matter, neither do audiences. None of this is about artistic freedom or making better movies or television shows. This is the Left flexing its muscle in an attempt to keep all of Hollywood to itself, to push its ideology on the people, to convert them, to indoctrinate them, to “correct them,” everything but entertaining them. Most of all, though, it is about one man: Donald Trump and their failure to stop him, destroy him, kill him, or exile him and his supporters. This is one of the most exciting times to be living through in American history, but you'd never know it by the movies and TV shows Hollywood pumps out. Their monoculture, their one-sided point of view, has choked the life out of Hollywood. If they could make fun of themselves, if they could humanize their fellow Americans, they might be able to tell stories that resonate with everyone. Maybe, just maybe, they would breathe new life into a decaying organism.But they can't risk it. Like the Democrats who don't trust the people with elections, Hollywood doesn't trust them with the culture.Elon Musk spent $44 billion to take Twitter out of the hands of its previous gatekeepers. Ellison is now trying to pry open a crack in the thick shell of Hollywood's product and return more of it to market forces and all of those people Hollywood left behind. // This is a public episode.

Movie Roulette Tuesday: The Podcast

Send us Fan MailOur “Don't Mess With Texas” theme continues with one of the most iconic episodes in Texas history; “The Alamo.”  We chose the 2004 version of this movie, which is a little more historically accurate than the 1960 John Wayne epic.  Directed by John Lee Hancock and starring Billy Bob Thornton and Dennis Quaid, this film tells the story of Santa Anna's siege of the Alamo and the battle for Texan independence. We also have a crash course on the history of the state of Texas, and the events leading up to the titular event. So. . . Remember the Alamo!  . . . and also that there's no basement there. . .

Send us Fan MailThis week, the Italians are coming! For the final lap of TGTPTU's 16 rounds of episodes this 4x4, we cover hack director Peter Yates's heartfelt, heartland sports underdog working class summer coming of age bicycle story BREAKING AWAY (1979).   Guest Shannon returns despite no possible book report, the film instead being an original work by author Steve Tesich who would win the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for this melding of two prior scripts based on his college years in Indiana and his bicycling teammate local to the area who'd become the basis for the movie's lead character Dave Stohler (although he'd prefer to go by Enrico Gismondi for the first half of the film). Dave is portrayed by Dennis Christopher, although the script gives substantial time to each of his three friends who will enter the local bicycle race with him (and even do a few laps themselves): Mike played by a ripped Dennis Quaid; a lanky, goofy Daniel Stern plays Cyril; and actor Jackie Earle Haley of Bad News Bears fame (the one without Billy Bob Thornton) as the vertically challenged Moocher.   In one of the best depictions of a 1970s dad in cinema, Paul Dooley plays Dave's father, a used car salesman and former cutter (of stones, not self or lines) who doesn't understand his eccentric son, while Barbara Barrie plays Dave's mom who encourages his Italophilia and passions, a role she'll reprise in the short-lived TV prequel series along with Haley.  This week, hear about the state of fridges in AZ along with Republican-bashing by Tobias; Shannon explains the 80s TV show Punky Brewster; Ken identifies with Breaking Away's dad character and conceives of this film as a bridge to the 1980s; and Thomas reveals the name of Roy Scheider's (not Rob Schneider's) wife. By the end of the ep, it is still undecided, although they go around in circles, whether Shannon or Thomas won their off-air bet regarding Ryan's reaction to the film.  While the hosts might be done with Hacks as their focus, the season continues. Next episode, we'll be taking the high road in our feud with Chris Nolan over the rights to the temporal pincer movement™️ to test the waters of his new release before wrapping with a return to the 1x1's to end the 17th Season of the first podcast to record from the PDX airport bathroom and raise former prime minister Margaret Thatcher from hell.    Ciao!   THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Valley of Fire Records released "Judge Jackson: Chapter One," marking the 10th anniversary of the passing of guitarist and co-founder Lee Jackson. This release commemorates the beginnings of the band's history and the vibrant stories from the creatively rich compound known as The Junkyard in North Hollywood, CA. Additionally, the lyric video for the song "Knucklehead" was unveiled on the same day.Long before their music featured in a Super Bowl, NASCAR race, and collaborations with an Oscar winner (notably, Billy Bob Thornton), Judge Jackson established themselves as the soundtrack to many people's lives. The origins of Judge Jackson date back to 1995, when vocalist and lyricist Todd McTavish, who had moved from Canada where he once played in a band with Shania Twain as a backup vocalist, partnered with guitarist and songwriter Lee Jackson in Los Angeles. Together with bassist Ryan Rogers and drummer Chris Pendleton, they diligently performed in the local club circuit, gradually cultivating a devoted local following. By 1998, the band released its debut album, followed shortly by a second CD, titled "8068."The initial CD releases have been out of print for years; however, these 18 songs are now being re-released digitally in 2026. The tracks have been remastered by producer Tim Narducci for Valley of Fire Records, with the first release being the fan favorite and bike rally anthem, “Knucklehead,” on January 1, 2026, coinciding with the 5th anniversary of Valley of Fire Records. This remastered collection features 18 songs that are now available on all digital and streaming platforms.

Billy Bob Thornton stopped eating dairy after discovering it was causing health problems. But is that a healthy decision?   Dr. Neal Barnard joins Chuck Carroll to separate fact from fiction.   Could milk and cheese be behind symptoms such as bloating, stomach pain, fatigue, skin issues, congestion, brain fog, or feeling sick after eating?   Dr. Barnard explains the difference between a true dairy allergy, lactose intolerance, and dairy sensitivity. He also discusses what PCRM research shows about dairy, saturated fat, cancer risk, heart health, and the health benefits of choosing dairy alternatives.   Then we look at Thornton's wheat sensitivity. What is a true wheat allergy? How is it different from celiac disease or gluten sensitivity? And when should someone get tested before removing gluten from their diet?   Plus, Billy Bob Thornton also said he eats for his AB-negative blood type. Dr. Barnard explains what the research actually says about blood-type diets, and whether blood type should determine what you eat.

The VHS Strikes Back

Chosen by Patreon supporter Helen, Indecent Proposal is exactly the sort of glossy 90s adult drama that makes perfect VHS Strikes Back territory: stylish, morally messy, wildly debatable, and absolutely guaranteed to make everyone in the room ask what they would do for one million dollars. Directed by Adrian Lyne, the film arrived in 1993 at the peak of Hollywood's obsession with erotic thrillers and high-stakes relationship dramas, when a soft-focus lens, a luxurious wardrobe, and a deeply questionable premise could still become a major box office event. Based on Jack Engelhard's 1988 novel, it starred Robert Redford, Demi Moore, and Woody Harrelson, with a screenplay by Amy Holden Jones and a typically elegant score from John Barry.Filming began in Las Vegas in June 1992 before moving to Southern California, with locations including Echo Park and a Santa Barbara mansion used for John Gage's home. The film became a major commercial hit, earning around $266.6 million worldwide against a reported $38 million budget, despite mixed-to-negative reviews and a premise that caused plenty of debate. It also became a pop culture talking point almost instantly, inspiring arguments about marriage, money, consent, class, and whether Robert Redford could make absolutely anything sound sophisticated, even a financial transaction that should really have involved several lawyers and a long walk outside.TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISThey were young. They were in love. They had dreams, debts, and the sort of architectural ambitions that scream, “we are one recession away from disaster.”But in the neon heart of Las Vegas, one night changes everything. A billionaire stranger enters their lives with charm, confidence, and a cheque book big enough to turn romance into a boardroom negotiation.FUN FACTSIndecent Proposal was directed by Adrian Lyne, who had already become the king of stylish relationship chaos with films like Fatal Attraction and 9½ Weeks.The film was adapted from Jack Engelhard's novel, although the screen version softened and reshaped elements of the original story for mainstream Hollywood audiences.Robert Redford's casting gave the film an unusual edge, because billionaire John Gage had to feel charming enough to be believable, but morally questionable enough to make everyone deeply uncomfortable.Demi Moore was one of the biggest stars of the early 90s, and this film landed during the same era that cemented her as a major box office name.Woody Harrelson was still best known to many viewers for Cheers, making his role as a financially desperate husband a notable move into more dramatic film work.The film's central “one million dollars for one night” premise became one of the most talked-about movie hooks of the decade.Billy Bob Thornton has a small role in the film, appearing before he became widely known as a major Hollywood name.The movie features appearances from Sheena Easton and Herbie Hancock, adding a bit of real-world glamour to the already very shiny 90s atmosphere.SUPPORT THE SHOW If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.

This week on Second Chance Cinema, MC and Spro head into the snowy woods to revisit A Simple Plan — the quiet, brutal thriller from Sam Raimi that proves greed can destroy absolutely everybody. The guys break down the performances from Bill Paxton, Billy Bob Thornton, and Bridget Fonda, discuss why this might be Raimi's most mature film, and ask the big question: if you found millions of dollars buried in the woods... would you keep it? Along the way, MC and Spro spiral into conversations about bad decisions, human nature, whether life ever actually goes “according to plan,” and how one tiny compromise can snowball into total disaster. Plus: a ridiculous song parody, philosophical debates, and the kind of moral panic only Second Chance Cinema can deliver.

Send us Fan MailWe're back with our eighth installment of the Oh Brother Criterion Collection reviews, and this one is our fourth Coen Brothers entry — the 2001 neo-noir masterpiece, The Man Who Wasn't There, celebrating its 25th anniversary.Billy Bob Thornton plays Ed Crane, a laconic small-town barber who speaks little but observes everything. When he discovers his wife Doris is having an affair with her boss Big Dave, Ed hatches a blackmail scheme to fund an investment in a dry cleaning operation — setting off a chain of events that spirals far beyond his control. It's classic Coen Brothers territory: crime, consequence, absurdity, and a richly drawn moral vacuum at the center of it all.We break down the full cast, including Frances McDormand as Doris, James Gandolfini as Big Dave, a scene-stealing Tony Shalhoub as attorney Freddie Riedenschneider, a very young Scarlett Johansson, and the always reliable John Polito. We also dig into Roger Deakins' stunning black-and-white cinematography — shot in color and reprinted in monochrome — and some of the film's most memorable sequences, including a brilliant tracking shot through an apartment hallway, a hubcap rolling down a hillside, and UFO imagery woven throughout Dennis Gassner's production design.On the Criterion side, we cover the full supplement package: the Coen Brothers' commentary track from 2004, a new 2025 interview with the brothers conducted by Megan Abbott, the Roger Deakins interview, and more. We also share our thoughts on whether the 4K upgrade is worth it if you already own the Blu-ray.The Man Who Wasn't There was a box office non-event in its time — roughly $19 million worldwide — but by any other measure it holds up as a quietly remarkable piece of filmmaking. Worth seeking out if you haven't seen it, and worth revisiting if you have.Support the showOh Brother Podcast:Support the Show!

Valley of Fire Records released "Judge Jackson: Chapter One," marking the 10th anniversary of the passing of guitarist and co-founder Lee Jackson. This release commemorates the beginnings of the band's history and the vibrant stories from the creatively rich compound known as The Junkyard in North Hollywood, CA. Additionally, the lyric video for the song "Knucklehead" was unveiled on the same day.Long before their music featured in a Super Bowl, NASCAR race, and collaborations with an Oscar winner (notably, Billy Bob Thornton), Judge Jackson established themselves as the soundtrack to many people's lives. The origins of Judge Jackson date back to 1995, when vocalist and lyricist Todd McTavish, who had moved from Canada where he once played in a band with Shania Twain as a backup vocalist, partnered with guitarist and songwriter Lee Jackson in Los Angeles. Together with bassist Ryan Rogers and drummer Chris Pendleton, they diligently performed in the local club circuit, gradually cultivating a devoted local following. By 1998, the band released its debut album, followed shortly by a second CD, titled "8068."The initial CD releases have been out of print for years; however, these 18 songs are now being re-released digitally in 2026. The tracks have been remastered by producer Tim Narducci for Valley of Fire Records, with the first release being the fan favorite and bike rally anthem, “Knucklehead,” on January 1, 2026, coinciding with the 5th anniversary of Valley of Fire Records. This remastered collection features 18 songs that are now available on all digital and streaming platforms. We invite you to join us in celebrating the life and music of Lee Jackson.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Phil and Emily are joined by LaToya Ferguson to kick off a new miniseries on Angelina Jolie's action films of the 2000s, beginning with Gone in 60 Seconds (2000). LaToya is a TV writer, critic, and co-host of the Empire Diaries podcast. She has appeared on the show before, covering The Other Sister and Ladybugs on previous installments. She wanted to cover Mr. and Mrs. Smith. She did not get Mr. and Mrs. Smith.Gone in 60 Seconds follows retired master car thief Memphis Raines, forced back into the game to steal 50 high-end cars in one night to save his brother from a ruthless crime boss. It cost $100 million, grossed $237 million worldwide, outperforming both Remember the Titans and Coyote Ugly from the same Bruckheimer production year. Angelina Jolie had just won the Oscar. The film was sold entirely on her. She is barely in it. Nicolas Cage plays the lead, does not radiate car energy, and shares with Jolie what Emily describes as the opposite of chemistry. The movie goes dull at exactly the moment it should not, Frances Fisher has less screen time than the dog, and Christopher Eccleston delivers the villain line "it never rains, but it pours" with complete conviction.Phil makes the case for where this sits in the Bruckheimer era and why it signals the end of something, Emily misses the era of movies that made audiences want to steal cars, and LaToya has thoughts about Nicolas Cage, Billy Bob Thornton, and what actual dirtbag energy looks like on screen. They also get into whether Gone in 60 Seconds quietly paved the way for Fast and Furious, and why Phil rides for Sorcerer's Apprentice to the dismay of everyone present.This episode opens the miniseries on Angelina Jolie's 2000s action films, with Lara Croft: Tomb Raider up next.Follow the show and guests:Podcast Like It's... — https://www.instagram.com/podcastlikeitsPhil Iscove — https://www.instagram.com/pmiscoveEmily St. James — https://www.instagram.com/emilystjamsLaToya Ferguson — https://www.instagram.com/thelafergs
