Podcasts about Blue Thunder

This is the last one, I swear!  No more TV adaptations of 80s movies ever again!  But let's end it with a bang as I chitchat about 1980's Fame, and as I wax poetic 1983's Blue Thunder, or as I contemplate 1988's Working Girl, all before I finally offer my in-depth thoughts on 1980's Stir Crazy.  Who else would do that for you?  And, as an added bonus, I'll offer up some opinions on Sam Peckinpah's Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia, Dana Carvey's slasher film origins, and Patrick Swayze teaching Rob Lowe to fight.  It's a doozy.

Blue Thunder is a high-octane tribute to the legendary Caspian blue '65 Fastback Mustang. With roaring guitars and a rhythm that hits like a V8 engine at full throttle, this track captures the spirit of pure American muscle. It's for anyone who lives for burnouts, late-night cruises, and the rush of gasoline dreams. Buckle up, hit play, and ride with the Quarter-Mile Queen that doesn't just turn heads — she breaks necks. #BlueThunder #65Fastback #MuscleCarAnthem #CaspianBlueStang #QuarterMileQueen #ClassicCarVibes #BurninRubber #GasolineDream #MustangMadness #V8Love Stay connected with The Collector Car Podcast—find us on our Website, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, or reach out to Greg directly via email.

If you go down to the woods today you may be in for a big surprise…but if you hear the distant sound of a duelling banjo then you'd better get out of there sharpish. Yes, that's right, Dean's watched Deliverance for the first time! And staying with the theme of things that are dead old, we're getting all nostalgic about the 80's (again). So, whether you're a Blue Thunder fan, or you're nutty for Airwolf, we've got you covered. So, get back to the future, but whatever you do…Don't Go Outside!

Paul and Erin review Mike Leigh's abrasive character study HARD TRUTHS, Matthew Rankin's alternative-history comedy UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE, Paul Schrader's draft-dodger drama OH CANADA, Steven Soderbergh's ghost story PRESENCE and Osgood Perkins' darkly comic horror movie THE MONKEY. Plus: we dig into the David Bowie heist comedy THE LINGUINI INCIDENT, the Roy Scheider helicopter thriller BLUE THUNDER and the Agatha Christie adaptation APPOINTMENT WITH DEATH.

Happy Valentine's Day from The B-Side! Here we talk about movie directors! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today we appreciate one of the great, under-appreciated Hollywood directors: Peter Hyams! Our B-Sides include Peeper, Hanover Street, The Star Chamber, 2010: The Year We Make Contact, and Running Scared. Our guest is Mike Ryan, great writer, interviewer, and deep fan of Hyams' eclectic body of work. Sudden Death is a favorite, along with 2010. We discuss the auteur versus the “workman director,” why some filmmakers gather an intense following and others don't, and the lasting effect many of Hyams' films have had on the culture as well as other filmmakers. There's much talk about Hyams' ability as a cinematographer, and how rare it is to be a director that films their own movies.  Mike makes the case that 2010 is more watchable than 2001: A Space Odyssey, Conor attempts to get over how corrupt Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines are as cops in Running Scared, and Dan sings the praises of Hyams' Narrow Margin. There's extended conversation about Robert Blake, co-star of Hyams' debut Busting, an appreciation of director John Badham (specifically Blue Thunder), and a reflection on the enormity of the production of End of Days.

This week on Grumpy Old Geeks, Jason and Brian dissect the latest tech and cultural news, starting with a TikTok tempest. The Supreme Court's decision to uphold a law potentially banning the app in the U.S. leaves the ball in Trump's court, while TikTok's CEO plans to attend his inauguration. As users flock to alternative Chinese apps and RedNote scrambles to hire English-speaking moderators, it seems the tech world is in chaos. Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg faces lawsuits over using pirated materials to train AI and continues to delete links to competitors like Pixelfed. Over in Europe, Elon Musk's X is under scrutiny for its algorithm transparency, while celebs like Mark Ruffalo advocate for a fully open social media ecosystem. Add in news of Bluesky's new photo-sharing app, Mastodon's founder stepping back, and yet another study revealing rampant fakery in online job postings, and it's a wild ride.In Media Candy, the geeks dive into the gritty charm of Silo, the Broadway movie hit Wicked, and the nostalgia of Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action. They also discuss Special Forces: World's Toughest Test Season 3 and reminisce about Blue Thunder and its TV adaptation. On the music front, dream pop enthusiasts will love their take on The 30 Best Dream Pop Albums, while Marvel fans get the scoop on the Daredevil: Born Again trailer. Plus, a nod to Real Coffee with Scott Adams and the real tea on Neil Gaiman.Finally, in Apps & Doodads, they break down the fallout from Sonos' disastrous app launch and the FTC's decision to ban General Motors from selling driving data. Musk's antics make an appearance again with a bizarre spat involving leaked DMs and a revoked checkmark, and a curious gadget called the Gaming Pillow. Closing shout-outs honor legendary Brewers broadcaster Bob Uecker and visionary filmmaker David Lynch, both gone but never forgotten.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Head over to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use the code "GOG" for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Dave, Marcus and Colin rewatch a film from their youth and have a very different experience. What was once an an intense, dark action film has become--to adult eyes--flat out hilarious. The guys marvel at officer Lymangood's juvenile horniness, love Murphy's wise cracking antics, and all agree the “conspiracy” makes almost no sense whatsoever. And let's not forget the especially bizarre dialogue: what the hell does “a hot mince pie under each arm” actually mean? Don't be a “JAFO.” Just tune in and enjoy the ride.

This week, Roy Scheider tries to stamp out corruption in the Los Angeles Police Department with the help of a militarized helicopter in the 1983 thriller, Blue Thunder. Join us as we discuss our expectations for the movie going in, Malcolm McDowell, and discuss what constitutes 'gratuitous'. Find us on Twitter and Instagram @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.

Directed by John Badham (WARGAMES) and co-starring Malcolm MacDowell, Daniel Stern, and Warren Oates, this '80s thriller features top-notch helicopter stunt work and exciting twists and turns (and according to recent completely unsubstantiated rumor, may be a big influence on Christopher Nolan's next film!)

During season one of Hidden Heritage, we filmed an episode called Conversations with the Elders. It was so popular that we immediately went to work meeting with more elders. In this episode of Hidden Heritage, we are going to visit with Wilson Roberts, a Choctaw elder from Oklahoma. Because most of the elders that we spoke with were still living during the early 1900s. Many of their life stories carry some cultural trauma from growing up through America's growing pains. Times have changed for the better, but I feel that it is important to let the elders speak open and honestly to better understand the plight of Native America during that part of American history. Join us now for a conversation with Wilson Roberts. Wilson Roberts, also known by his Choctaw name Blue Thunder, shares his poignant story of being taken to a boarding school at a young age, enduring hardships, and the cultural suppression he faced. From escaping the school to working labor-intensive jobs, Wilson's narrative is one of resilience and finding solace in his heritage. He emphasizes the importance of preserving Native languages and traditions, reflecting on his journey of reconnecting with his roots and advocating for the wellbeing of future generations. This episode sheds light on the struggles and strength of Native American elders, offering a window into the past and lessons for the future. Wilson's story is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Choctaw people and the broader Native American community.

This week, Erin and Cameron bring the thunder -- the BLUE THUNDER, that is. Featuring one of Dana Carvey's first roles!!!

Catch us now and later! Jay and Lindsey review Blue Thunder (1983).  1980s cinema became a fertile ground for the Cold War techno-thilller and Director John Badham had two in 1983 with WarGames and Blue Thunder. Star Roy Scheider and Badham both felt strongly that the dangers of the constant surveillance state as well as military-grade armament of the police were not to be taken lightly. Does this movie make it's point or flutter into the dust? Find out as Jay and Lindsey review Blue Thunder (1983).  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/filmstrip/support

In this episode of Outside the Cinema, Bill and Chris review the movies Blue Thunder and Lisa and the Devil. They discuss the weather and the start of baseball season. They also talk about the director John Badham and his filmography. The conversation touches on the low-key racism and sexism in Blue Thunder. The plot of the movie is summarized, and the technology used in the film, including the microphones. They also discuss the plot, the real stunts and action sequences, and the memorable 80s score.  In Lisa and the Devil, they talk about the confusing plot and the dream-like atmosphere. They highlight the failures of the screenplay in creating a cohesive and interesting story. The hosts discuss the visual style of Mario Bava and the lack of story in 'Lisa and the Devil'.  Takeaways The director John Badham has directed several notable films, including Saturday Night Fever and War Games. Blue Thunder is a prototypical eighties action movie, with a focus on technology and a cool helicopter. The movie features low-key racism and sexism, which was common in films of that era. The microphones used in the film are not realistic, but they serve the purpose of the story. Blue Thunder is an entertaining film that showcases the talent of the director and the actors.

Andrew joins Ben to discuss a word that is the sliver of overlap in the Venn diagram of the previous two episodes: animate and robot.  Ben brings up a (very) minor controversy for Geoff Keighley's “The Game Awards” independent game nominees this year involving Mint Rocket's “Dave the Diver.”  Andrew goes on an exotic adventure with a Pringles flavor all the way from Japan!  After a very quick definition segment, Andrew shares a traumatic event from his youth involving an animatronic alien at Universal Studios, and then more 70s and 80s movies are discussed.  Ben drops a quick Hall of Presidents conspiracy theory and some sad Chuck E. Cheese news before he talks about the interesting origin story of Scott Cawthorn's incredibly popular “Five Nights at Freddy's” franchise.  Finally, they come up with an amazing new restaurant idea to close out the show.   00:00:21 - Vacuuming robot revolution crisis possibly averted, pictures with Santa, and work 00:03:35 - Fight Club villain discovery, mental health, and more happy controversial things  00:05:27 - “Dave the Diver” Independent GOTY nomination, and the inventor of the seed drill 00:08:34 - No GOTY love for “RoboCop: Rogue City,” and Ben is just a little disappointed 00:10:15 - How to classify games a independently developed, and a Double Fine edge case 00:12:10 - Andrew's sensory adventure… Addictive Garlic Butter flavored Japanese Pringles! 00:16:45 - The official verdict, the definition, Disney's contributions, Billy Bass, and clockwork  00:22:32 - Scary animatronics, the Neil Diamond antidote, and Andrew's E.T. ride trauma  00:27:00 - Eliot the insurance policy, Stranger Things, and extraterrestrials for the woke agenda  00:29:36 - Blue Thunder, the underrated acting prowess of Roy Scheider, and a JAFO hat 00:31:42 - Bruce the pneumatic shark, cool to creepy, and wanting to take Teddy Ruxpin apart 00:34:29 - At an appropriate distance, David S.

This week on THE BIG 4-0 we're wishing a happy 40th to the bizzarro Richard Geere romantic drama BREATHLESS and the bizzarro Roy Scheider helicopter cop actioner BLUE THUNDER. Hear how BREATHLESS links to Quentin Tarantino and how BLUE THUNDER surprised us by being a completely different movie than we expected. As usual, by the end we're kinda flying by the seat of our pants (read: a *tad* inebriated), so much so that Ron even shares his best (worst) Yoda impression (!). Rate, Like, subscribe, and we'll be back next week, once again with our good buddy Romero, lighting the birthday candles for RETURN OF THE JEDI and CHAINED (not CAGED, as I repeatedly referred to it on this episode) HEAT's BIG 4-0's!

Alright, so picture this: "Blue Thunder," a flick from '83. It's all about this high-tech helicopter and a dude named Murphy. This helicopter, it's a beast, like a flying tank. Murphy's this cool pilot, but he's got some issues. He's got this fancy gadget-filled chopper called Blue Thunder, and he's cruising around LA, spying on people. Shady government stuff, you know? There's suspense, chases, and even a little romance. It's like Top Gun meets Big Brother. The sound of the chopper blades and intense action fill the theater, making you forget you're sitting on the john.

Jason, Andy, and Brian talk about what they're watching. Also, Stay tuned - Season 3 Episode 19 comes out this Wednesday morning (5/17/2023) with a review of the 1983 Roy Schneider movie Blue Thunder.

This week THE HUNGER, Tony Scott's debut film about erotic vampire types starring a young Susan Sarandon, and VALLEY GIRL about (semi)erotic valley girls staring a young Nic Cage, celebrate their BIG 4-0's. Listen to see how we felt about these, er, "classics", 40 years later; and please remember to subscribe, like, rate, tell your friends, shout from the mountain tops, etc. Next week we'll be breaking out the birthday cake and balloons for BLUE THUNDER and BREATHLESS, both celebrating their BIG 4-0's!

We are in the Bonus! … Cavs Playoff Preview Bonus Episode – Gerber, Danko and Chuck are joined by the show's ultimate guest, Miller, for a special playoff preview episode. The Guys spend some quality time sports talking about the Cleveland Cavaliers first round playoff matchup against the New York Knicks. The Guys throw back to 1996, the last time a Cavs team without LeBron James hosted a first round playoff… against the Knicks. The Guys also talk Isaac Okoro injury, the potential bench disparity between the teams, the Cavalier (other than Donovan Mitchell) that needs to have big series and the Knicks player the Guys may end up hating the most. The Guys close the show with their predictions for the series and how many games it will take for the Cavs to win. Stick around after the closing music for outtakes and an impromptu debate about whether Blue Thunder was better than Airwolf.

Forgotten Cinema ends in April. The reason? All of the collateral damage done by Frank Murphy in Blue Thunder. 40 Years of helicoptor mayhem! Forgotten February continues

Before there was "Airwolf," before there was "Fire Birds," one movie stood alone as the epitome of helicopter action: "Blue Thunder." It's the movie that inspired Big D to be a pilot, showed us how to "dust" a perp, and made JAFO a household name. It also taught a 10-year-old in the UK how to cuss. And that 10-year-old grew up to be Shat The Movies commissioner Omar, who somehow understood "Blue Thunder" was about the surveillance state and police militarization. We just thought it was about naked high-rise yoga. Starring three legitimate badasses—Roy Scheider, Warren Oates and Malcolm McDowell—"Blue Thunder" illustrated what happens when combat veterans and single moms don't reach out for help, why it's weird to sexualize machines, how to dodge a missile in a crowded urban area and why looping a helicopter isn't all that useful. Warning: Do not watch this movie while sitting between co-workers on a Southwest Airlines flight. Or, if you do, make sure your tray table is covering your lap.
