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/
MUSICViolet Grohl, daughter of Dave Grohl, released her first two solo singles, "THUM" and "Applefish", on Dec. 5. ICYMI: Filter, Filter Eleven and Local H are teaming up for a spring tour that starts March 5th in Wenatchee, Washington and wraps up April 1st in Cleveland. Tickets go on sale Friday. It looks like Oasis fans will definitely have to wait until 2027 to see the band again. Liam Gallagher answered fans' questions on X about continuing their reunion tour, and when one fan asked him to announce dates for next year already, Gallagher replied: “We're not doing anything in 2026 sorry.” Loudwire.com published a list of five '70s rock stars who never drank or did drugs.

These are the Top 5. The question is … Did you see any of them? Did you see any of them in the theater?Nouvelle Vague (5) Train Dreams (4) Black Bag (3) Hamnet (2) One Battle After Another (1) I've never wanted a celebrity relationship more than I want Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson. Unfortunately, it sounds like it's not happening. At least not anymore. On the bright side, it sounds like they're in a really good place. https://people.com/pamela-anderson-on-liam-neeson-relationship-exclusive-11864356 AND FINALLY'USA Today' has picked its list for the worst Christmas songs of all time. They are: Alvin and the Chipmunks, ‘The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)' Elmo and Patsy, ‘Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer'NewSong, ‘The Christmas Shoes' Jessica and Ashlee Simpson, ‘The Little Drummer Boy' New Kids on the Block, ‘Funky Funky Xmas' 'USA Today' called their number one pick for worst Christmas song "the novelty song from Hell."Sure there's those annoying Christmas songs we hear every year . . . but let's take it up a notch with Christmas carols from HELL. 1. "Here Comes Santa Claus" by Mrs. Miller. She was discovered by the announcer from "Laugh-In", which should tell you all you need to know.2. "Silent Night" by Wing. Wing Han Tsang was from Hong Kong and started singing as a hobby when she moved to New Zealand. Surprisingly, she made it kinda big. "South Park" even parodied her back in the day.3. "White Christmas" by Tiny Tim. There's also "Silent Night", featuring a spoken-word break where he takes aim at hypocrites, fornicators, and child molesters. You know, just regular Christmas caroler stuff. 4. "Little Drummer Boy" by William Hung. Isn't it crazy to think there's a whole generation who has no idea who this "American Idol" treasure is? 5. "I Got a Cold for Christmas" by the Three Stooges. Not terrible, but not exactly a classic.6. "Jingle Bells" by William Shatner, featuring Henry Rollins. Yes, THAT Henry Rollins.7. "Santa Claws Is Coming to Town" by Alice Cooper, featuring John 5, Billy Sheehan, and Vinny Appice. 8. "The Night Before Christmas" by David Hasselhoff. This one is extra cheesy, but did you expect anything less?9. "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" by Regis Philbin. This one has a cameo by a pre-Oval Office Donald Trump, who offers Rudolph a job in place of Santa.10. "Jingle Hell" by Christopher Lee. Yes, one of the greatest actors of all time. He dabbled in heavy metal later in life. This actually isn't his only holiday song, either. He also did covers of "The Little Drummer Boy" and "Silent Night".11. "Away in a Manger" by the Brady Bunch. This one only features the vocal talents of Marcia, a.k.a. Maureen McCormick. It's from an album called "Merry Christmas from the Brady Bunch".See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In dieser Folge werfen wir einen wilden Kino-Mix auf den Tisch — von knallharten Straßenrealitäten bis zu Spionage-Thrill, psychoakustischem Horror und metaphysischem Mind-Game!Babo – Die Haftbefehl-Story (2025) — Deutsche Doku über den berüchtigten Rapper Haftbefehl. Wir diskutieren, ob dieses unverblümte Porträt zwischen Erfolg, Absturz und Identität mehr als nur ein Biopic ist — oder ob die Dokumentation uns mit Trauma-Romantisierung zurücklässt.Black Bag (2025) — Spionage-Thriller unter der Regie von Steven Soderbergh mit Cate Blanchett und Michael Fassbender: Geheimdienste, Verrat und moralische Grauzone — wir fragen: Wird „Black Bag“ zum intelligenten Agentenfilm für Erwachsene, oder driftet er in konventionellen Mainstream-Thrill ab? Spannung vs. Anspruch — alles drin.1408 (2007) — Klassiker mit John Cusack und Samuel L. Jackson, ein psychologischer Horrortrip im Spukhotel — wir checken: Wie gut hält der Psycho-Horror heute noch? Funktioniert der Druck, die Paranoia, das beklemmende Setting im Jahr 2025 noch? Und wird 1408 überschätzt oder zurecht verehrt?iHostage (2025) — niederländischer Thriller, inspiriert von wahren Ereignissen: Ein Bewaffneter stürmt einen Apple-Store mitten in Amsterdam, nimmt Geiseln und fordert ein sechs-stelliges Lösegeld in Kryptowährung. Der Film verfolgt das Drama aus verschiedenen Perspektiven — Täter, Geiseln und Polizei.The Materialists (2025) — Konzeptfilm irgendwo zwischen Philosophie & Drama: Wir schauen, ob „The Materialists“ den Spagat schafft zwischen intellektuellem Anspruch und erzählerischer Zugänglichkeit. Wird das philosophische Kino elegant ins Moderne übersetzt — oder versinkt es in der immergleichen Rom-Com?Hausaufgabe für nächste Woche: "After the Hunt" (Amazon Prime) #NapalmAmMorgen
Original Release Date: Monday 24 November 2025 Description: This week, Dean and Phil will begin to slowly roll out the new era of Chillpak Hollywood, releasing much more content each week. Phil provides details at the outset. Then, he and Dean engage in much show biz “water cooler” discussion. The most famous modernist home in the world is up for sale for the very first time. Dean and Phil talk about the house, its history, and some of the movies that were filmed there. Warner Bros. is also up for sale, apparently (again!), and Dean and Phil both discuss it and sort of lament it! A loyal listener is very upset about the film Bugonia, so Dean and Phil revisit their debate about the film's director, Yorgos Lanthimos. The lack of box office this year for accomplished and acclaimed films aimed at adults gets discussed broadly, with two of these films (the Channing Tatum vehicle Roofman, and the recent spy thriller Black Bag) going under the microscope. Finally, two classic films get re-appraised and celebrated anew: Rian Johnson's Brick on its 20th anniversary, and the rollicking 1966 western The Professionals. Finally, one of Phil's all-time favorite actors, indeed one of the greatest figures in Japanese cinema history, gets remembered in "Celebrity Deaths".

In this episode, Christina talks with actor Gustaf Skarsgård, who is powerful in the historical crime drama To Cook a Bear(Hulu/Disney+), based on the bestselling novel by Mikael Niemi. They discuss embodying the Pastor, a fascinating, paradoxical character inspired by the real Lars Levi Laestadius, a man caught between faith, science, and survival in 1850s Sweden. The story weaves together themes of polarization, racism, class, and belief within a haunting detective mystery set against the stark northern wilderness. They also talk about Skarsgård's thoughtful approach to acting — how he chooses his roles, from Oppenheimer to Soderbergh's Black Bag to his upcoming role as Wallander — and how he has found more sustainable ways of working and living after past struggles with addiction.

I think BLACK BAG misses the mark but it's one of Melanie's favourites. So what happens when we disagree on whether, from a craft perspective, a story is working or not? Well, you'll have to tune in to this week's episode to find out. One thing I'll say is that this might be a film that is meant for super fans of the spy genre (i.e., Melanie) because it seems to assume a level of knowledge about the world of espionage that the average viewer (i.e., me) simply doesn't have.

Opening Credits: This week on Live Breathe Film with Doug and Murph...Feature Presentation: 2025 Film and Television Mid-Year Recommendations - While we have a lot of picks that correlated with our most anticipated movies and shows for the year, we also have a number of surprises that show why it's important to check out smaller, less hyped movies and shows like Black Bag and Paradise, which are not based around existing IP.Mid-Credits: Ring the Damn Summer Box Office Pool Bell - While our Summer Box Office Pool is technically still going on, it's becoming a foregone conclusion who is taking home the gold as Superman achieved something for DC (and Doug) that the Man of Steel hasn't seen since 1980.

Send us a textThe theatrical landscape of 2025 tells a fascinating story through its box office patterns and creative trends. Animation continues its unstoppable theatrical dominance across multiple studios, while long-running franchises like Mission Impossible and Jurassic World show unmistakable signs of fatigue. Has the time come to put these decades-old properties to rest?Our midyear film roundup reveals a striking preference for original storytelling over franchise continuation. From the breathtaking coastal beauty of Paolo Sorrentino's Parthenope to the inventive shark thrills of Dangerous Animals, our top picks demonstrate cinema's continued ability to surprise and captivate. Steven Soderbergh's spy thriller Black Bag showcases masterful craftsmanship, while Tim Robinson's Friendship brings his distinctive comedic sensibilities to feature length with remarkable success.The conversation turns passionate when discussing Ryan Coogler's Sinners and Ari Aster's Eddington – films that blend genres with extraordinary confidence while delivering profound thematic depth. Both represent bold, auteur-driven visions that resonated deeply with audiences seeking thoughtful, challenging cinema.Looking ahead, the remainder of 2025 promises an embarrassment of riches from acclaimed filmmakers including Park Chan-wook, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Jim Jarmusch. Their upcoming works, alongside anticipated releases like Edgar Wright's The Running Man and Blumhouse's Weapons, suggest our year-end lists may undergo significant transformation.What films have captured your imagination in 2025? Join our conversation about this remarkable year in cinema and share your own discoveries and disappointments. The theatrical experience continues to evolve, but the power of original storytelling remains undiminished.Support the show

Amer's Netflix comedy series about his life, Mo, is now in its second season. His family is Palestinian, and fled the first Gulf War, so Amer grew up in Houston from age nine. "Palestinian culture is a folksy farmer kind of mentality and life," Amer says.
