Hanna-Barbera's classic cat-and-mouse cartoon series Tom and Jerry kicked off when their debut short, ‘Puss Gets The Boot', was released by MGM on 10th February, 1940.  But, at that time, the stars of the film were known as ‘Jasper and Jinx'. And studio bosses very nearly canned the whole concept - until the audience feedback, and awards nominations, started rolling in… In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why the chase-based slapstick of this hilariously violent double act empowered MGM to rival the might of Disney and Warner Bros; reveal how Tom and Jerry got their names; and explain how the racist depiction of ‘Mammy Two Shoes' evolved from an African-American caricature into an Irish one…  Further Reading: • ‘The 50 MGM Films that Transformed Hollywood - Triumphs, Blockbusters, and Fiascos, By Steven Bingen' (Lyons Press, 2022): https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/The_50_MGM_Films_that_Transformed_Hollyw/bYh0EAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Puss+Gets+the+Boot&pg=PA87&printsec=frontcover • ‘The Untold Truth Of Tom And Jerry' (Looper, 2020): https://www.looper.com/196800/the-untold-truth-of-tom-and-jerry/ • ‘Puss Gets the Boot' (MGM, 1940): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiHulAQmdqI Love the show?

Rafael Arinelli, Thiago Muniz, Edu Sacer e Laysa Zanetti se reúnem para dissecar o cardápio cinematográfico de 2026 - e spoiler: tem coisa boa, tem jabá nostalgia e tem Disney espremendo franquia até sair suco de plástico.O papo começa quente com as surpresas de janeiro (quem diria que Extermínio seria surpreendente de verdade?) e segue pelos "oscarizáveis" de fevereiro, incluindo O Morro dos Ventos Uivantes de Emerald Fennell – que promete dividir puristas literários e cinéfilos modernosos. Março traz o possível adeus cinematográfico de Fernanda Montenegro em Velhos Bandidos, enquanto abril entrega o combo nostálgico mais poderoso: O Diabo Veste Prada 2. Meryl Streep voltando para aterrorizar assistentes? That's all.Mas o verdadeiro orgasmo cinéfilo vem em julho com Odisseia, de Christopher Nolan – mitologia grega + IMAX = shut up and take my money. O ano fecha com um embate de titãs: Duna 3 vs. Vingadores: Doutor Destino. Spoiler²: Robert Downey Jr. está de volta à Marvel e ninguém sabe como se sentir sobre isso.Entre blockbusters desnecessários (Toy Story 5, sério?), apostas brasileiras potentes e reboots que ninguém pediu, o Cinemação entrega o mapa completo para você planejar sua falência no cinema em 2026.• 03m55: Pauta Principal• 1h25m33: Plano Detalhe• 1h46m18: EncerramentoOuça nosso Podcast também no:• Spotify: https://cinemacao.short.gy/spotify• Apple Podcast: https://cinemacao.short.gy/apple• Android: https://cinemacao.short.gy/android• Deezer: https://cinemacao.short.gy/deezer• Amazon Music: https://cinemacao.short.gy/amazonAgradecimentos aos padrinhos: • Bruna Mercer• Charles Calisto Souza• Daniel Barbosa da Silva Feijó• Diego Alves Lima• Eloi Xavier• Flavia Sanches• Gabriela Pastori Marino• Guilherme S.

Welcome to the latest episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, where host Wize El Jefe welcomes guest Steven Puri a man whose career has spanned Hollywood blockbusters, tech startups, successful exits, and daring entrepreneurial attempts. This episode is a masterclass in finding fulfillment, reclaiming focus, and redefining success amidst the noise and distraction of our modern world. A Journey from Blockbusters to Purpose Steven Puri opens up about his high-profile career, giving listeners a candid look at life behind the scenes. He's worked as an executive in major studios, produced well-known films, and raised millions for tech ventures. But rather than resting on these laurels, Steven Puri brings refreshing honesty about the realities of so-called "success": the burnout, the unfocused hustle, and the underlying unhappiness that often comes with chasing external achievements. His decision to pivot from Hollywood, where he ran iconic franchises like Die Hard and Wolverine, to founding a platform dedicated to flow states and true fulfillment marks a turning point: “I reached a point where I wanted to do something where people came to me and said, 'Hey man, because of what you did, I was able to actually do the thing I was meant to do.'” The Battle for Your Attention and Your Life In one of the episode's most thought-provoking segments, Steven Puri and Wize El Jefe dissect the ways major tech companies and apps have mastered the art of distraction, essentially making it their business model to "steal your life." From endless scrolling to addictive dopamine hits, we're reminded just how easy it is to lose hours—or even years—to platforms designed to capture our attention, often at the expense of our deeper goals. Unlocking Flow States and Redefining Success What's the antidote? Steven Puri shares his deep dive into the concept of "flow state" those rare moments when we're fully immersed, productive, and genuinely satisfied. Inspired by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's seminal work, Steven Puri explains the science and spirit of flow, revealing how artists, athletes, and inventors across disciplines describe these states in strikingly similar ways. He delivers actionable advice: forget multitasking (a myth sold by hustle culture), embrace monotasking, and begin each day by identifying the one thing that will move your life forward. These practical steps, backed by his tech platform the Suka Company, help listeners shift from depletion and regret (“Where did the day go?”) to empowerment and joy (“I crushed it today and can spend time with my family.”). Podcasting, Creativity, and the Power of Community In a touching exchange, Wize El Jefe shares his own journey from a furloughed casino pit boss to a podcaster investing in quality and community. The hosts discuss how investing in yourself and your craft pays dividends—not just in the quality of your work, but in the connections and impact you create. From networking at Podfest to collaborating with his nephew, Wize El Jefe highlights how stepping outside your comfort zone can ignite creative energy and open new doors. Their conversation explores how creativity and focus aren't rivals they feed each other, and nurturing both is essential for success in the AI age. Steven Puri draws on neuroscience to explain the balance between free association and executive function, sharing anecdotes from film and tech about how the best ideas often come when you're not directly engaged with the task. Challenges of the Future—and Reasons for Hope Not shying away from the big issues, Steven Puri expresses concern about the rise of AI and large language models, warning that jobs centered on rote pattern-matching are vulnerable, and urging listeners to double down on distinctly human strengths: creativity, strategic thinking, and community. While his views on the economy and tech landscape are sobering, his faith in people's innate potential remains strong. Takeaways for Anyone Who Feels Stuck Ultimately, the episode is an invitation to reflect, recharge, and recalibrate. If you're feeling overwhelmed, overworked, or disconnected, Steven Puri offers clear guidance: each morning, identify the one thing that will genuinely advance your life, and let that guide your focus and energy for the day. Reclaim control from the apps, demands, and distractions; invest in yourself and your relationships; and don't die with your greatness left inside you. Connect and Continue the Conversation As the episode closes, listeners are invited to reach out directly Steven Puri makes his email public and welcomes questions from anyone interested in learning more about flow states or focus. For those ready to put the tools and mindset into practice, his Suka Company website offers resources and community to help you start building the life you actually want. Why You Should Listen This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to break free from the cult of busy, escape the digital vortex, and start living with intention and fulfillment. Whether you're a creator, entrepreneur, executive, or everyday achiever, the candid stories, researched insights, and authentic wisdom from both Steven Puri and Wize El Jefe will motivate you to rethink what success means and how to claim it on your own terms. Share this episode with someone struggling behind the scenes but winning on the outside. It's a heartfelt, energizing conversation packed with relatable anecdotes, actionable strategies, and a blueprint for getting unstuck—so you can stay grounded, curious, and empowered.

This episode is about arrivals—and expectations.We kick things off with a deep dive into Lost Season 4, Episode 2: “Confirmed Dead.” We unpack the arrival of the freighter team—Faraday, Charlotte, Miles, and Lapidus—and why this episode quietly resets the entire chessboard. From Faraday's eerie time experiments to the unsettling truth behind Naomi's mission, we explore how “Confirmed Dead” trades clear answers for tension, intention, and the growing sense that everyone on the island is being scouted for a reason.Then we shift formats and hit the draft board.In the second half of the show, we run a sports-style movie draft for the year 2026, treating upcoming releases like franchise-altering prospects. Blockbusters and prestige collide as titles like The Odyssey, Avengers: Doomsday, Project Hail Mary, and more come off the board. We debate first-round locks vs. risky reaches, sleeper hits, director pedigree, box office upside, and which films are built for opening weekend dominance versus long-term legacy.It's part film analysis, part hype machine, and part front-office chaos—because predicting the future is always messy, whether you're landing on an island or building a release slate.From mysterious new players on Lost to cinematic prospects fighting for the top pick, this episode is all about who shows up… and what they're really capable of.Draft clock's ticking.

PART 1 (of 6) of Karl Pilkington's ROCKBUSTERS (a cheap knockoff of Blockbusters). Not only was this one of Karl's longest running features (along with Monkey News), but it was also voted by fans as his greatest XFM feature of all time. Karl Pilkington gives a cryptic clue (it's usually nonsense) and the initials of a famous band or artist (he sometimes gets the initials wrong), and listeners either call, or as the feature developed (unless they were experiencing technical difficulties), email in their answers. The winner gets an arbitrary assortment of tat, often including a pointless DVD seemingly chosen at random from the bargain bucket. Fans will recall Stephen Merchant announcing such great prizes as Ladder 49 (the mediocre John Travolta film), or Children of the Corn (Peter Horton's in it). Ricky Gervais once mused: "Imagine getting that and going 'Excellent, we can watch this now!'"PART 1 ends with a cliffhanger as Ricky says: "That's the end of that feature, until you can get ones that work. Okay, so you won't hear anymore of that, because it's rubbish."**TO BE CONTINUED**

We kick off a new year, a new season, and a new month with our discussion on the 1981 fantasy film "Dragonslayer".

durée : 00:57:54 - Cultures Monde - par : Julie Gacon, Mélanie Chalandon - Des plages du Débarquement à la Lune, en passant par l'Ukraine, de nombreux jeux vidéo proposent de rejouer des conflits réels ou fictifs. Blockbusters comme productions à petit budget ne sont pas dénués de discours politique et peuvent être instrumentalisés à des fins de propagande. - réalisation : Vivian Lecuivre - invités : Antony Dabila chercheur associé au Cevipof et à l'Institut d'Etudes de Stratégie et de Défense (Lyon-III-Jean Moulin); Olivier Mauco créateur de jeux vidéo et chercheur en sciences politiques, enseignant à l'Université Paris-Dauphine en économie du jeu vidéo, fondateur de l'Observatoire Européen des Jeux Vidéo ; Dimitri Megherbi philosophe, chercheur spécialisé dans l'analyse des jeux vidéo et le cinéma, chargé de cours à Sorbonne Nouvelle

Movies, nostalgia, and pop culture collide as the we dive into recent releases, classic theater experiences, and the holiday debate that matters most. In this episode, we talk about seeing Back to the Future on the big screen, reactions to Wicked and Zootopia 2, and the marathon experience of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. Along the way, we discuss popcorn buckets, nostalgia, and why the shared movie theater experience still matters in a streaming-first world.   We close things out with a spirited breakdown of our Top TV & Movie Santas of All Time, and why Christmas doesn't officially begin until Hans Gruber hits the ground. Grab some popcorn and join the conversation.

Tis the season for buying and selling. What better movie to talk about before the holiday than a movie about a car sales man who has a dog day afternoon, or as Ian says "Dodge Day Afternoon". Join us as we talk about "Cadillac Man" starring Robin Williams and Tim Robbins. We dive deep into what makes this work, the talented cast, and debate if it is a true comedy.

Chegamos ao fim de 2025 com a sensação de que o cinema passou por um ano de ajustes decisivos. Entre retomadas, reavaliações e mudanças de rota, a indústria audiovisual parece ter entendido que repetir fórmulas já não garante o mesmo impacto. Este episódio propõe uma retrospectiva de um ano marcado menos por euforia e mais por reposicionamento: artístico, industrial e cultural.Ao longo da conversa, Rafael Arinelli, Edu Sacer e Claudio Gabriel, analisam como, após a recuperação iniciada em 2024, o cinema mundial passou a investir com mais cuidado em produções regionais, autorais e de nicho. O mercado global voltou a crescer, com aumento expressivo de público impulsionado sobretudo pela América Latina e pela Ásia. No Brasil, 2025 foi simbólico: pela primeira vez desde 2019, o cinema nacional ultrapassou a marca de 25 milhões de ingressos vendidos, mostrando diversidade estética e força em gêneros como terror, animação e filmes híbridos entre apelo popular e experimentação.Na no papo de retrospectiva também houve debate sobre o evidente desgaste dos grandes blockbusters, especialmente dos filmes de heróis. Títulos aguardados como Superman, Capitão América e Thunderbolts ficaram abaixo das expectativas, reforçando a percepção de saturação desse modelo. Em contraste, o topo das bilheterias foi ocupado por apostas mais seguras, como animações, remakes como Lilo & Stitch, Zootopia e o fenômeno chinês Ne Zha 2.Falamos ainda sobre o excesso de lançamentos nos streamings, a sensação de efemeridade do catálogo e como isso tem tornado o público — inclusive nós — mais seletivo na ida ao cinema. Para fechar, comentamos o Oscar de 2025, a histórica vitória brasileira em Melhor Filme Internacional e compartilhamos listas pessoais de destaques, surpresas e decepções do ano.Um episódio essencial de retrospectiva para entender o que 2025 revelou — e escondeu — sobre o presente e o futuro do cinema.• 03m49: Pauta Principal• 1h20m43: Plano Detalhe• 1h34m45: EncerramentoOuça nosso Podcast também no:• Spotify: https://cinemacao.short.gy/spotify• Apple Podcast: https://cinemacao.short.gy/apple• Android: https://cinemacao.short.gy/android• Deezer: https://cinemacao.short.gy/deezer• Amazon Music: https://cinemacao.short.gy/amazonAgradecimentos aos padrinhos: • Bruna Mercer• Charles Calisto Souza• Daniel Barbosa da Silva Feijó• Diego Alves Lima• Eloi Xavier• Flavia Sanches• Gabriela Pastori Marino• Guilherme S.

There are movies you enjoy, movies you love, and then there are Life Changing Movies, the ones that hit you at the exact right moment and quietly shape how you see the world. In this special Born to Watch episode, Whitey and Gow sit down on the couch for a rare daytime recording to unpack the films that genuinely changed them, not just as movie fans, but as people.Originally planned as a solo episode, Whitey quickly realised this topic needed conversation, reflection, and a bit of friendly back-and-forth. What follows is a deeply personal walk through cinema history, from classic black and white films through to modern blockbusters, with each movie tied to a specific time, place, and feeling. These are not rankings, not reviews, and not necessarily the “greatest films of all time”. These are the films that left a permanent mark.The rules were simple. The films had to be movies Born to Watch has never reviewed before, and they had to be experienced in the order Whitey first saw them. What unfolds is a cinematic timeline that mirrors growing up, discovering new genres, and realising that movies can be far more than mere entertainment. They can be confronting, comforting, terrifying, inspiring, and sometimes completely overwhelming.The episode kicks off with The African Queen, a film Whitey first watched as a kid with his Nan, and a gateway into old cinema that opened the door to classics like Casablanca and Captain's Courageous. From there, the conversation moves into The Great Escape, a film both hosts hold in incredibly high regard, not just for its iconic moments, but for its storytelling, tension, and emotional weight that still holds up decades later.As the timeline moves forward, the episode touches on cultural moments that defined entire generations. Seeing Batman (1989) in a packed cinema, complete with Prince's soundtrack and Jack Nicholson's Joker, becomes more than just a movie memory. It becomes a snapshot of adolescence, crushes, embarrassment, and the shared chaos of opening night at the local cinema.The conversation does not shy away from darker territory. Films like Deliverance, The Evil Dead, Psycho, and Schindler's List are discussed not for shock value, but for the way they challenged expectations and forced viewers to confront uncomfortable truths. These are films that stay with you long after the credits roll, sometimes in ways you do not fully understand until years later.Blockbusters also have their place. Terminator 2: Judgment Day is remembered as a near-perfect cinematic experience, combining groundbreaking visual effects with emotional storytelling and characters that audiences genuinely cared about. It is a reminder that big movies can still have heart and depth when done correctly..The episode closes by reflecting on films driven by dialogue and ideas, particularly JFK, a movie that became comfort viewing for Whitey despite its heavy subject matter. It represents how movies can evolve with us, revealing new layers each time we revisit them.This is an episode about memory, growth, and the quiet power of cinema. Whether you agree with every pick or not, these Life Changing Movies will almost certainly spark memories of your own. #BornToWatch #LifeChangingMovies #MovieMemories #FilmPodcast #CinemaLovers #MovieNostalgia #ClassicFilms #FilmDiscussion #MovieFans #PodcastAustralia

Dans moins d'une semaine, c'est un raz-de-marée, que dis-je, un tsunami qui aura déferlé sur les salles de cinéma du monde entier, du Kazakhstan à l'Indonésie en passant bien sûr par la France et les États-Unis : Avatar : de feu et de cendres, le troisième volet de la saga en 3D de James Cameron. Mais qu'est-ce exactement qu'un blockbuster ? Y a-t-il des «blockbusters d'auteurs» ? Quels en sont les logiques industrielles, les principes artistiques et quels en sont les réalisateurs-phares ? À l'occasion de la sortie en salles d'Avatar 3 et des 50 ans des Dents de la mer, considéré comme le premier blockbuster de l'ère moderne, nous en discutons avec Hervé Aubron, critique et historien du cinéma, Jérôme Wybon, documentariste et scénariste d'une bande dessinée sur les Dents de la mer, et Victor Norek, auteur de deux livres sur le cinéma de Steven Spielberg. Bibliographie - Victor Norek L'oeuvre de Steven Spielberg (Third Editions) et chaîne Youtube Le Cinématographeur - Jérôme Wybon et Toni Cittadini Les mâchoires de la peur, les coulisses d'un tournage mythique (édition Huginn et Munnin) - Hervé Aubron, article sur Titanic dans l'ouvrage collectif Blockbuster, philosophie et cinéma (Les prairies ordinaires).

Will starts by reflecting on the NFL's unusually balanced 2025 season and the Patriots' dominant, throwback-style win on Monday Night Football. He breaks down league-wide parity, the Pats' 10-game win streak, and why no truly “elite” team has emerged this year. Will then shifts to two major Boston sports trade anniversaries—Joe Thornton to the Sharks and the Red Sox' acquisition of Josh Beckett—exploring how each move shaped their franchises for years. He also offers quick thoughts on Lane Kiffin's controversial jump from Ole Miss to LSU, framing it as part of today's college-sports landscape. The episode wraps with an announcement of an upcoming 10-year reunion show featuring the original hosts of his first podcast.

For a goofy franchise that started with gangsters stealing DVD players and wound up with a Pontiac Fiero going into space, The Fast and the Furious movies are a pretty fantastic lens through which to view the last quarter-century of Hollywood economics. From the DVD boom and bust to the internationalization and diversification of ticket-buyers to questions of propriety surrounding the digital resurrection of deceased actors to the desire for all-encompassing franchise-based “cinematic universes,” the series has ridden every economic wave buffeting the movie business since the original's release in 2001.  Author Barry Hertz does a wonderful job of weaving that story amidst the tangle of egos and artistic energy that makes up the Fast series in his new book, Welcome to the Family: The Explosive Story Behind Fast & Furious, the Blockbusters that Supercharged the World. Full disclosure: I'm not a particularly big fan of the series, so I was a little skeptical when I agreed to check out Barry's book. But even if you don't really care about the Fast and Furious movies, there's more than enough behind-the-scenes drama and economic intrigue to keep you riveted. And it's a must-buy stocking stuffer for anyone in your life who lives their life a quarter mile at a time.

"Der weiße Hai" ist der Beginn der modernen Blockbuster-Ära in Hollywood, 1975. Steven Spielberg gilt als empathisches Regie-Wunderkind, der das Publikum mit "E.T." und "Jurassic Park" ins Staunen versetzt, aber auch Persönliches wie "Schindlers Liste" und "Die Fabelmans" auf die Leinwand bringt.
