Primordial legends from the mists of time and fever dreams of imminent apocalypse. Our good friend Dallas Norvell drops by Casa Calibro to discuss Excalibur (1981), directed by John Boorman and Holocaust 2000 (1977), directed by Alberto de Martino (this film is sometimes also known as The Chosen or Rain of Fire). Boorman's passion project based on Mallory's La Morte d'Artur is a heady mix of magic, myth and just a hint of disco. Meanwhile, Kirk Douglas goes completely out of his mind in an attempt to ward off the end of the world. It's a bit of a trip this week, is what I'm trying to say. We don't think it's really possible to spoil a movie based on a 500 year old text concerning a legend more than a thousand years old, so no Spoiler Territory for Excalibur. We do, however, call out Spoiler Territory for Holocaust 2000 (although honestly, it probably doesn't matter). If you want to skip ahead from that point, you can rejoin the conversation at the 2:29:14 mark to avoid spoilers. Want to get in touch?

John Boorman's Point Blank (1967) has long been recognized as one of the seminal films of the sixties, with its revisionary mix of genres including neo-noir, New Wave, and spaghetti western. Its lasting influence can be traced throughout the decades in films like Mean Streets (1973), Reservoir Dogs (1992), Heat (1995), The Limey (1999) and Memento (2000). Eric Wilson's compelling study Point Blank (British Film Institute, 2023) examines its significance to New Hollywood cinema. He argues that Boorman revises traditional Hollywood crime films by probing a second connotation of “point blank.” On the one hand, it is a neo-noir that aptly depicts close range violence, but, it also points toward blankness, a nothingness that is the consequence of corporate America unchecked, where humans are reduced to commodities and stripped of agency and playfulness. He goes on to reimagine the film's experimental style as a representation of and possible remedy for trauma. Examining Boorman's formal innovations, including his favoring of gesture over language and blurring of boundaries between dream and reality, he also positions the film as a grimly comical exploration of toxic masculinity and gender fluidity. Wilson's close reading of Point Blank reveals it to be a film that innovatively inflects its own generation and speaks powerfully to our own, arguing that it is this amplitude, which encompasses the many major films it has influenced, that qualifies the film as a classic. Eric Wilson is Professor of English at Wake Forest University, USA. His publications include Secret Cinema: Gnostic Vision in Film (2006) and The Strange World of David Lynch: Transcendental Irony from Eraserhead to Mulholland Dr (2007). His writing has featured in Psychology Today, L.A. Times, The New York Times and Huffington Post. Daniel Moran earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University.

Amy Boorman is a decorated and globally respected gymnastics coach, whose career included twelve years coaching the sport's all-time greatest, Simone Biles. She was named USA Gymnastics Coach of the Year four times and US Olympic Committee Coach of the Year in 2016. She was head coach of the US Women's Gymnastics Team at the Rio Olympic Games and coached for the Dutch Gymnastics Federation in 2021, including at the Tokyo Olympic Games.  Her book is titled: The Balance: My Years Coaching Simone Biles. Summary In this conversation, Aimee Boorman reflects on her evolution from a competitive gymnast to an elite coach, including her 12-year journey coaching Simone Biles. She talks about how her early experience with harsh, unsupportive coaching shaped her belief that great coaching starts with empathy, communication, and trust. Aimee focuses on coaching the whole person, not just the athlete, and explains how vulnerability, collaboration, and giving athletes room to fail safely build both performance and character. She describes how she nurtured Simone's extraordinary natural ability, what she calls “air sense savant,” while helping her develop emotional maturity and self-accountability. The discussion also explores the mental challenges elite athletes face, including the “twisties,” and why protecting mental health must come before medals. Aimee's approach shows that excellence is less about winning and more about integrity, growth, and joy in the process.   Takeaways ·        Great coaches lead with empathy and see athletes as whole people, not performance machines. ·        Trust grows through honest communication and vulnerability, which create psychological safety and resilience. ·        Allowing athletes to fail safely teaches self-awareness and accountability more effectively than control or punishment. ·        Real confidence comes from ownership—shifting from performing for approval to performing for yourself. ·        Success follows when the focus moves from outcomes such as scores or medals to inputs like effort, attitude, and preparation. ·        Pressure and anxiety block performance, while freedom and presence unlock it. ·        Mental health should always take priority over results because well-being sustains excellence. ·        The best coaches are remembered not just for producing champions but for helping young people grow into strong, self-directed adults.   Notes: Book: The Balance: My Years Coaching Simone Biles

Dennis also sings the praises of the returning TV shows The Morning Show and English Teacher as well as his friend David Kittredge's wonderful new feature film documentary Boorman and the Devil, which is about the director John Boorman and his movie Exorcist 2: Heretic. In the Observation Deck segment, Dennis's recent podcast guest Rob Loveless, host of the A Jaded Gay podcast, recalls a time he felt totally starstruck. Dennis ends the episode with two happiness-related quotes from Andy Warhol and shares a recent experience related to his new game Search Party where he had to put on his big boy pants and lived to tell about it.

For the past 20 years, fast friends Charley Boorman and Ewan McGregor have been wandering the globe on an eclectic mix of motorcycles. “Long Way Home,” the intrepid pair's fourth and most recent television series, captures their journey through 17 European countries aboard a resurrected 1973 BMW R75/5 and a well-traveled 1974 Moto Guzzi Eldorado.“There's something wonderful about a big trip,” Londoner Boorman relates to host Mark Long on this episode of the “Driven to Ride” podcast. “Sometimes, it almost feels like you're sort of on holiday and you don't want the holiday to end. You've got that freedom of the open road, you're carrying everything on the motorcycle that you need, and there you are, just going off.”While some aspects of their adventures haven't changed much since Boorman and McGregor set off on their inaugural 2004 trip—“two friends riding round the world together and, against the odds, realizing their dream”—the cameras used to record the experience, plus the advent of in-helmet communication, have revolutionized the process. But, as Boorman attests, it's still escaping.

Oscar-winning director, screenwriter and novelist Neil Jordan made his name with the 1984 movie The Company Of Wolves, adapted from an Angela Carter short story. His 1986 film Mona Lisa earned BAFTA and Golden Globe awards for its star Bob Hoskins. Jordan scored an even bigger critical and commercial hit worldwide with The Crying Game, which had six Academy Award nominations including best screenplay which was won by Neil Jordan himself. His 20 feature films made over 40 years also include an adaptation of Ann Rice's novel Interview With the Vampire, Irish revolutionary drama Michael Collins and The End Of The Affair, adapted from the Graham Greene novel. Neil Jordan talks to John Wilson about his upbringing in a Dublin suburb, the son of a school teacher father who encouraged an early love of storytelling. After working as a labourer, and in a Dublin theatre for a while, he met filmmaker John Boorman (Point Blank, Deliverance, The Emerald Forest) who, in 1980, was shooting his Arthurian legend film Excalibur at film studios in Ireland. Boorman invited Neil Jordan to direct a documentary about the making of Excalibur, an experience which started his filmmaking career. Jordan also chooses the 1943 Jean Genet novel Notre Dame des Fleurs - Our Lady Of The Flowers - as a formative influence on his screenwriting. He recalls the struggles to make The Crying Game and how the film's producer Harvey Weinstein objected to the inclusion of a trans character, a supporting role for which Jaye Davidson was nominated as best actor at the 1992 Academy Awards.Producer: Edwina PitmanArchive used: Clip from A Fistful of Dollars, Sergio Leone, 1964 Clip from Excalibur, John Boorman, 1981 Clip from The Crying Game, Neil Jordan, 1992 Neil Jordan accepts his Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, 1992 Clip from The Crying Game, Neil Jordan, 1992 Clip from Michael Collins, Neil Jordan, 1996

Long-time supporter Kent and has picked another classic this week in Deliverance from 1972. And is also the last installment of our 3 week Burt Reynolds season! Check out a whole bunch of cool stuff Kent does on his facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/kentgustavsonphd. Deliverance, directed by John Boorman, was both ambitious and challenging, marked by its decision to shoot on location in the remote wilderness of northern Georgia. This choice lent the film an authentic and gritty atmosphere but also presented numerous logistical and safety challenges. The actors, including Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty, and Ronny Cox, performed many of their own stunts, including navigating the treacherous Chattooga River in canoes, which heightened the realism but also exposed them to significant risks. Burt Reynolds was injured while performing a canoe stunt when he was swept downriver and hit by rocks. The production team had to contend with the natural elements, which often made filming difficult and unpredictable, yet these same challenges contributed to the film's visceral and immersive quality. The production's commitment to authenticity extended beyond the physical challenges. Boorman chose to cast relatively unknown actors at the time to enhance the believability of the characters. The decision to film the infamous "Dueling Banjos" scene and other intense moments in natural settings without relying heavily on special effects or studio sets helped cement the film's raw and unsettling tone. Additionally, the script, adapted by James Dickey from his own novel, required delicate handling of its controversial themes, including graphic violence and sexual assault. Despite the difficulties faced during production, Deliverance emerged as a critical and commercial success, praised for its unflinching portrayal of survival and its exploration of human nature under duress. The film's stark realism, powerful performances, and haunting musical score have left a lasting impact on audiences and cinema history.

Could it be that the most extreme behaviors of narcissists are so outlandish, they become almost undetectable to those closest to them? This intriguing question forms the core of a recent episode of "Hidden Killers," where host Tony Brueski and trauma therapist Heather Boorman discussed the complexities of relationships involving narcissists, particularly focusing on the case involving the man accused of being the Long Island serial killer and his wife, Asa Ellerup. Boorman, an expert in trauma therapy, suggested that psychological coercive control might play a significant role in such relationships. She emphasized that the real abuse in these dynamics is not physical but psychological, stating, "The real abuse is the psychological manipulation and the psychological trauma." She pointed out that victims often feel responsible for the abuser's actions, leading them to excuse and cover up their behaviors. Discussing the possibility of Asa Ellerup's awareness of her husband's alleged crimes, Boorman acknowledged the complexity of the situation. She explained how victims of narcissistic abuse might not see the full extent of the narcissist's actions due to a combination of self-doubt, the abuser's skillful manipulation, and the victim's own psychological conditioning. Boorman also touched upon the concept of 'incels' or involuntary celibates, suggesting that individuals in this group often harbor resentment and anger towards those they perceive as rejecting them. This discussion broadened the scope of the conversation to include various facets of extreme narcissistic behaviors and their impact on interpersonal relationships and society at large. The episode also delved into the case of Brian Koberger, highlighting the difficulty in diagnosing such complex characters. Boorman speculated about potential neurodiversity or mental health issues that might contribute to such behavior, emphasizing the importance of understanding the nuances of these cases. This insightful episode of "Hidden Killers" not only sheds light on the hidden dynamics of narcissistic relationships but also leaves the audience pondering a critical question: How can we begin to unravel the complex web of manipulation and control woven by narcissists, and what does it take to see the truth behind their façade?    Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Boorman also touched upon the concept of 'incels' or involuntary celibates, suggesting that individuals in this group often harbor resentment and anger towards those they perceive as rejecting them. This discussion broadened the scope of the conversation to include various facets of extreme narcissistic behaviors and their impact on interpersonal relationships and society at large. The episode also delved into the case of Brian Koberger, highlighting the difficulty in diagnosing such complex characters. Boorman speculated about potential neurodiversity or mental health issues that might contribute to such behavior, emphasizing the importance of understanding the nuances of these cases. This insightful episode of "Hidden Killers" not only sheds light on the hidden dynamics of narcissistic relationships but also leaves the audience pondering a critical question: How can we begin to unravel the complex web of manipulation and control woven by narcissists, and what does it take to see the truth behind their façade?    Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

How do we understand and identify covert narcissism, especially when it's subtly woven into the fabric of our society and our relationships? This is the provocative question explored on the podcast "Hidden Killers," where host Tony Brueski engaged in a thought-provoking discussion with trauma therapist Heather Boorman. The focus was on covert narcissism and its prevalence in various characters discussed on the show, as well as its broader implications. Boorman, who specializes in this field, shared her insights on the nature of covert narcissism and its treatability. She expressed skepticism about the possibility of genuine change in narcissists, stating, "The general consensus is no, it can't [be fixed]... Most narcissists don't think they're the problem, so they don't seek change." This presents a chilling reality: those affected by narcissists may find the best course of action is to sever contact, as true change is rare. The conversation also delved into the origins of narcissistic traits. Is it a result of environmental factors, or is there an inherent predisposition? Boorman discussed the possibility of a combination of both, suggesting that certain upbringing conditions might 'unlock' inherent narcissistic traits. This duality of nature and nurture raises further questions about the development of such personality disorders. Discussing the perpetuation of narcissism across generations, Boorman noted the tendency for children of narcissists to either mirror their parents' traits or become overly compassionate, becoming prime targets for other narcissists. She pointed out the roles narcissistic parents assign their children – the golden child, the neglected one, or the scapegoat – and how these roles can influence the children's future behavior and personality development. The case of Alec Murdoch was highlighted as an example of malignant narcissism, where both inherited and learned behaviors seemed to contribute to his personality. Boorman carefully navigated the complexity of diagnosing such cases without personal interaction, emphasizing the importance of considering both genetic and environmental factors.

Are we all just pawns in the elaborate game of narcissists, or can we learn to see through their facade? This is the question that emerged from a recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," where host Tony Brueski and trauma therapist Heather Boorman delved into the complex world of narcissism. Narcissism, often tossed around in casual conversation, may be more pervasive than we think. Boorman, author of 'A Thousand Paper Cuts,' explained, "Just because there are narcissistic tendencies does not necessarily qualify for an official NPD [Narcissistic Personality Disorder] diagnosis." She emphasized the spectrum of narcissism, from overt to covert, and the challenge of diagnosing based on the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). Boorman described overt narcissists as those who exhibit grandiosity and a palpable need for admiration. They stand out at social gatherings with their self-centered behavior. In contrast, covert narcissists, while equally self-absorbed, are more insidious, often maintaining a positive public profile and employing psychological manipulations. "The overt narcissist is like a big meteor that hits, and a covert narcissist is like the Colorado River that chips away gradually," Boorman analogized. She explained that victims often don't realize the gradual erosion of their well-being in such relationships. The discussion also covered the motivations behind narcissistic behavior. Boorman outlined three primary goals: seeking supply (to feel their existence through others' reactions), avoiding introspection and underlying shame, and obtaining maximum benefit with minimal effort. Boorman and Brueski also discussed the pattern of narcissistic abuse, which typically follows a cycle of love bombing, devaluation, and discard. Victims often stay for decades, entangled in this cycle, unable to pinpoint the cause of their unhappiness. This enlightening conversation sheds light on a topic often misunderstood and oversimplified. As we navigate our relationships, it's crucial to ask: Are we equipped to recognize and protect ourselves from the subtle manipulations of narcissists? Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The Great Coaches: Leadership & Life

Aimee is an American Gymnastics coach who led the USA Team at the 2016 Rio Olympics. However, she is perhaps best known as the coach of Simone Biles, who she started coaching in 2003 when Simone was just 6. Aimee and Simone were together for 14 World Championship and Olympic Gold medals.Simone became the first woman ever to win three straight all-around titles and the first gymnast to capture 10 gold medals at the World Championships.As you'll hear in this terrific interview, Aimee's approach to gymnastic coaching breaks with tradition, and is marked by a strong sense of doing what is right for her athletes, many of who are teenagers in elite competitions.Some of the other key highlights for me were:The way she has learnt about tailoring her communication to the many age groups she leads, and how she is never afraid to apologise when she gets it wrong.The way she deals with the anxiety that her athletes feel, in search for the perfect 10 in gymnasticsAnd The way she helps her athletes control their emotions in competition, by bringing them back to their practice, and not trying to do any more than they do then.

It is always an honor to host Eric G. Wilson; this time, he discusses his latest work, Point Blank. We will explore the themes and impact of filmmaker John Boorman, an influence on many of today's great directors like Quentin Tarantino, Michael Mann, and Christopher Nolan. Our focus will be the film Point Blank, but we'll extend to other classics like Excalibur, Deliverance, and Zardoz. Beyond Gnostic themes in Boorman's canon, we'll find the powerful ideas of trauma healing, gaining a spiritual life, and the importance of the divine feminine in any man's life.

John Boorman's Point Blank (1967) has long been recognized as one of the seminal films of the sixties, with its revisionary mix of genres including neo-noir, New Wave, and spaghetti western. Its lasting influence can be traced throughout the decades in films like Mean Streets (1973), Reservoir Dogs (1992), Heat (1995), The Limey (1999) and Memento (2000). Eric Wilson's compelling study Point Blank (British Film Institute, 2023) examines its significance to New Hollywood cinema. He argues that Boorman revises traditional Hollywood crime films by probing a second connotation of “point blank.” On the one hand, it is a neo-noir that aptly depicts close range violence, but, it also points toward blankness, a nothingness that is the consequence of corporate America unchecked, where humans are reduced to commodities and stripped of agency and playfulness. He goes on to reimagine the film's experimental style as a representation of and possible remedy for trauma. Examining Boorman's formal innovations, including his favoring of gesture over language and blurring of boundaries between dream and reality, he also positions the film as a grimly comical exploration of toxic masculinity and gender fluidity. Wilson's close reading of Point Blank reveals it to be a film that innovatively inflects its own generation and speaks powerfully to our own, arguing that it is this amplitude, which encompasses the many major films it has influenced, that qualifies the film as a classic. Eric Wilson is Professor of English at Wake Forest University, USA. His publications include Secret Cinema: Gnostic Vision in Film (2006) and The Strange World of David Lynch: Transcendental Irony from Eraserhead to Mulholland Dr (2007). His writing has featured in Psychology Today, L.A. Times, The New York Times and Huffington Post. Daniel Moran earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University. The author of Creating Flannery O'Connor: Her Critics, Her Publishers, Her Readers and articles on G. K. Chesterton and John Ford, he teaches research and writing at Rutgers and co-hosts the podcast Fifteen-Minute Film Fanatics, found here on the New Books Network and on X.  Learn more about your ad choices.
