Last year, Leonard and Jessie got a rare opportunity to interview Frank Oz at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas before a live audience. His alter egos are world-renowned, but Leonard and Jessie didn't focus on Miss Piggy or Yoda in this conversation. The main topic was directing movies, which Oz has done so well for so many years: The Muppets Take Manhattan, Little Shop of Horrors, In & Out, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Bowfinger, and What About Bob? are just a few of his credits. What is the through-line, if any, from puppetry to filmmaking. Listen and hear what the amazing Oz has to say.
This week end our Movies About Movies Festival with an underrated 90's comedy with arguably the 2 funniest men of their generation in Steve Martin's and Eddie Murphy's first time working together in the 1999 Frank Oz film Bowfinger. A scrappy director follows his dream of making that one great film while the big Hollywood actor is scared of his own shadow. Truly hilarious stuff folks!

It tells the story of a ruthless producer played by Kirk Douglas, who works tirelessly to reach the top of the Hollywood system with no care for how others get left in the dust. We also talk about movies that are about making movies, David Lynch, Citizen Kane, as well as imposter syndrome, how designers work, design magazines, design culture, and design history.-F.

Tras el torbellino de premios patrios y ajenos, después de la fiebre de los Goya, de los Oscars y en el camino previo a la Semana Santa, el cine pide un tiempo muerto en forma de transición en las salas. En una semana llega "Blanca Nieves" en acción real, con vocación de aguantar haciendo taquilla durante semana, pero hoy nos toca depurar una de esas carteleras atípicas. Sacar lo mejor, lo más interesante que se esconde tras títulos como Wolfgang, Secretos de una Mentira o Las Chicas del Balcón Min 5. WOLFGANG (Extraordinario) ESPAÑA. 2025 Wolfgang, un niño de diez años con un cociente intelectual de 152 y trastorno del espectro autista, se ve obligado a vivir con su padre, Carles, a quien no ha visto nunca, tras la repentina muerte de su madre. Carles afronta el reto con ganas y voluntad, pero Wolfgang no soporta su desorden ni su desorganización y lo considera un “bajocien” por su falta de intelecto. NOTA EDC. 3 estrellas Min 11: SECRETOS DE UN CRÍMEN (RU-India 2025) Gracias a un plan del gobierno, Santos, que acaba de enviudar, hereda el trabajo de su marido como agente de policía en una zona rural del norte de la India. Cuando una niña de casta inferior aparece violada y asesinada, se ve arrastrada a la investigación bajo el ala de la carismática inspectora feminista Sharma. NOTA EDC. 4 estrellas Min 15: LA VIDA ANTE NOSOTROS (Francia 2025) La acción nos coloca en el París de 1942. Se suceden las redadas a familias judías, Tauba, de 13 años, y sus padres encuentran refugio en una habitación minúscula, bajo los tejados de la ciudad. A pesar de las circunstancias extremas de su vida, limitada a una buhardilla de sólo 6 metros cuadrados, Tauba se aferrará a la esperanza, encontrando alegría en las pequeñas cosas durante la ocupación nazi. NOTA EDC: 2,5 estrellas Min 19: LAS CHICAS DEL BALCÓN (Francia. 2025) En un bullicioso barrio de Marsella azotado por una ola de calor, tres amigas y compañeras de piso miran al vecino del balcón de enfrente. Hasta que una noche de copas se convierte en una situación sangrienta. NOTA EDC: 3 estrellas Min 24. MORLAIX (ESPAÑA. 2025) Gwen, una joven estudiante de secundaria marcada por la reciente muerte de su madre, pasa su tiempo con su grupo de amigos, incluido su amante Thomas, un aprendiz de panadero. Cuando Jean-Luc, un estudiante parisino con vocación artística, se instala en la zona, Gwen no oculta su problema, como si tuviera ante sí una decisión decisiva en su vida. NOTA EDC: 3 estrellas. Min 26. LUMIÈRE: LA AVENTURA CONTINÚA Segunda entrega de la exitosa Lumière! L'aventure commence (¡Lumière! Comienza la aventura). Este nuevo filme nos revela otro centenar de películas realizadas por los hermanos Lumière, todas ellas inmaculadamente restauradas. El largometraje pretende sobre todo profundizar en la historia de la invención del cine en el mundo y confirmar que las obras cinematográficas más grandes y bellas se encuentran en los orígenes de este arte. NOTA EDC: 4 estrellas Min 30: LA PELÍCULA DE TU VIDA, CON "LA INFILTRADA DE YUNQUERA" Esta semana tenemos el privilegio de abrir una ventana a los recuerdos cinéfilos de la productora guadalajareña que está tras el éxito global de la película "La infiltrada". María Luisa Guiérrez, responsable de la productora "Bowfinger", en Yunquera de Henares, poco después de recibir el Goya y de pronunciar uno de los discursos más celebrados de la ceremonia, nos confiesa cuál es la película de su vida y nos adelanta su próximo proyecto: "Tierra de Nadie". Min 35. BSO EL IMPERIO DEL SOL Y en el diván de las bandas sonoras nos toca cumplir con lo prometido. Tras enamorarnos con los argumentos que justifican por qué El imperio del Sol es la peli de su vida, le debíamos a nuestra querida periodista, amiga y actriz Aurora González, un especial BSO que nos va a permitir reavivar una de las películas mágicas alumbradas por Steven Spielberg y John Williams.

We're celebrating 100 episodes this week by returning to not one but two recurring themes from nearly two years of the podcast: the filmography of Steve Martin and the belief that February belongs to romance -- two concepts that combine decently well with some magical realism in our movie of the week, an absurdist take on life and love in Los Angeles that still feels like a cutting send-up of the city more than 30 years later. It's 1991's L.A. Story, directed by Mick Jackson, written by Steve Martin, and starring Martin, Victoria Tennant, Richard E. Grant, Marilu Henner, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kevin Pollak, Patrick Stewart, Frances Fisher, Iman, Larry Miller, Woody Harrelson, Rick Moranis and John Lithgow. So tonally cartoonish that it feels Martin is moments away from being crushed by a grand piano and popping out the top of it unscathed at any moment, that silliness conceals an earnest goodness about love, the universe, and everything finding a way to work out as it should. Are these beliefs that go hand-in-hand with the movie's wacky exterior, or does the film find itself at odds with itself? Find out, as we dive into a movie Hayley recently picked up on VHS. Plus: J Mo's still sore from having climbed into the wrestling ring over the weekend! If you'd like to watch the movie before listening along to our discussion, L.A. Story is currently streaming for free on the CTV app in Canada at the time of publication. Other works discussed in this episode include the video games Mario & Luigi: Brothership and Balatro, as well as TMNT: Mutant Mayhem, Only The Brave, 24, The Departed, The Nice Guys, Mission: Impossible - Fallout, Jurassic Park, the JJ Abrams Star Trek trilogy, the Disney Star Wars sequel trilogy, A Goofy Movie, Bowfinger, The Lonely Guy, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, Cheaper By The Dozen, The Tooth Fairy and They Came Together. Feb2ary Is For Lovers continues next week as we run it back for another 100 episodes beginning with Nicolas Cage and Cher in 1987's Moonstruck, which may be the most readily available film we've ever covered as it's currently streaming on Amazon Prime, Crave, Starz, Criterion Channel, Tubi and Hoopla as we release this. Thank you so much for listening for 100 episodes, or however long you've been on the ride. We love you, and see you at the movies!!

Frank Oz brought that "Show must go on!" Muppety energy to Steve Martin's script about washed up filmmaker Bobby Bowfinger, who cons his way into making a movie with action superstar Kit Ramsey, played by Eddie Murphy. Our September OVER 90 episode comes a little late in the form of 1999's "Bowfinger" directed by Frank Oz and starring Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, Heather Graham, Christine Baranski, Robert Downey Jr., Terrance Stamp, and a respectfully restrained Jamie Kennedy. The con is on!
Today on the second of a two-part episode, the guys continue their discussion of Steve Martin (1:43). They start off the episode by going through Steve Martin's filmography, including the Jerk, All of Me, Three Amigos, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Father of the Bride, Roxanne, L.A. Story, Bowfinger, The Pink Panther, amongst others. They then discuss Martin's other works including his dramatic and musical plays. They also discuss his banjo playing and his musical albums. Finally, they discuss his recent hit show, ‘Only Murders in the Building'. Then, since Martin suffers from Tinnitus, in the second half, the guys discuss this disorder (26:58). Asif talks about what it is, how common it is and how there are actually two types of tinnitus – objective tinnitus which others can hear and subjective tinnitus which only you can hear. They then discuss the presumed causes of tinnitus. Asif goes over how it is diagnosed and finally how it can be difficult to treat.

Frank Oz (What About Bob?, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) directed this satirical showbiz comedy with a truly unique premise: a now desperate movie producer named Bowfinger is positively set on filming a new movie on the fly with a popular movie star named Kit Ramsey....who doesn't know that he's being filmed. :o Bowfinger is played by Steve Martin who also wrote the screenplay and Kit Ramsey is played by Eddie Murphy.....and since they both performed on Saturday Night Live, this was THE first time these comedic titans would join forces on screen. (And unfortunately the last) Beyond that, Bowfinger also recruits several others to film this stealth movie including an very impressionable young actress played by Heather Graham who just came in from the Midwest and a nerdy assistant named Jif who is ALSO played by Eddie Murphy. Of course other complications ensue including Kit's membership in a local cult lead by Terrance Stamp. Throw in some other random stuff including poodles in heels and Laker girls, and.....hilarity ensues!Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a Text Message.https://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
This week, after a 40th anniversary sequel went straight to Netflix, we're winding it back to a 23-year-old Eddie Murphy's breakout smash as a capital-M Movie Star. It's 1984's Beverly Hills Cop, directed by Martin Brest, and starring Eddie Murphy, Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, Lisa Eilbacher, Ronny Cox, Steven Berkoff, Jonathan Banks, Bronson Pinchot, and Paul Reiser. This one comes from J Mo's collection as it's a movie he's strangely never seen before, having been burned by other overhyped Murphy comedies of the 80s? Is this one worthy of the hype? We'll find out together, but if you've seen it I think you know. Plus: Hayley's watched Axel F. to see where this franchise is at after 40 years, while Justin's staying hydrated in the heat. If you'd like to watch the movie before listening to this discussion, Beverly Hills Cop is currently streaming on both Netflix and Paramount+ in Canada at the time of publication. Other works referenced in this episode include Twisters, Gladiator II, The Last Duel, House of Gucci, Napoleon, Speed Racer, Miami Vice (2006), Hot Rod, Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, Point Blank, Grosse Pointe Blank, High Fidelity, Charade, Driveaway Dolls, Maid, Blockers, Metro, Trading Places, Bowfinger, The Other Guys, The Santa Clause, True Romance, Scarface, Cobra and Tango & Cash among others. We're back next week to tee up Deadpool & Wolverine by watching Hugh Jackman's previous collaboration with director Shawn Levy: a silly sci-fi rock-em sock-em robot boxing movie from 2011 called Real Steel, with Evangeline Lilly, Anthony Mackie and Kevin Durand, currently streaming in Canada on Netflix and free with ads on the CTV app. And of course, we'll close out the month of July by inducting Twister into the pod canon. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!
It is Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F release day and the start of our Eddie Murphy Month, we're playing not-the-hits but some of his others. Starting off with Steve Martin and Frank Oz's Hollywood satire, a film that Andrew holds dear to his understanding of the world and art, and Johnny brings his brain to many ‘what-if-this-film-got-Bowfingered' scenarios.
“Have you ever fired two guns whilst jumping through the air?”Talking About Hot Fuzz with our guest, filmmaker Nathan BlackwellIn this episode of Movies We Like, filmmaker Nathan Blackwell (and co-host of TruStory FM's own The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast) joins Andy Nelson and Pete Wright to discuss Edgar Wright's comedic action film, Hot Fuzz. Nathan shares his love for the movie and how it has influenced his own filmmaking journey. The conversation delves into Nathan's path to becoming a filmmaker, from his early days making short films inspired by 80s classics to the challenges and triumphs of creating his first feature films.Nathan discusses the making of his latest film, The Last Movie Ever Made, and how it represents a culmination of his experiences and growth as a filmmaker. He shares insights into the creative process, the importance of finding one's voice, and the challenges of getting an independent film seen in today's competitive landscape.The discussion also touches on the heart of The Last Movie Ever Made, which lies in its exploration of the power of movies to bring people together and create a sense of community. Nathan reflects on how this theme resonates with his own love for films like Ed Wood and Bowfinger, which celebrate the passion and camaraderie of filmmaking.Hot Fuzz serves as a perfect backdrop for this engaging conversation about the joys and challenges of independent filmmaking. Edgar Wright's clever blend of action, comedy, and genre love is a fitting parallel to Nathan's own journey as a filmmaker who has navigated the ups and downs of the industry to create something unique and personal.

As a movie about movie making, Bowfinger leaves no stone unturned in its ruthless attempt to expose filmmaking in Hollywood, and just like this podcast, how difficult it is to get any movie actually made. Granted, it is slightly harder when your action hero doesn't know he's in it... It mocks the range of cliched Hollywood personas, from the waning diva to naïve ingenue turned sexy starlet. It pokes fun at studio executives who seem to be primarily concerned with their vintage vehicles rather than their children or ex-wives, and shows Mexican immigrants as highly capable and intelligent people, who learn on the job, and become probably the most professional people in the whole crew. Bowfinger is more than just a funny movie, although it definitely is that. It also makes astute observations about immigration, institutional racism, ageism, sexism and the cult of cults (definitely not Scientology).Gotcha suckers!I would love to hear your thoughts on Bowfinger !CONTACT....

His alter egos are world-renowned, but Leonard and Jessie didn't focus on Miss Piggy or Yoda in this conversation, recorded in front of a live audience at Esther's Follies in Austin. The main topic was directing movies, which Oz has done so well for so many years: The Muppets Take Manhattan, Little Shop of Horrors, In & Out, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Bowfinger, and What About Bob? are just a few of his credits. What is the through-line, if any, from puppetry to filmmaking? Listen and hear what the amazing Oz has to say.

During THE MOVIE CRYPT's 8th annual “Yorkiethon” last month, actress and filmmaker Heather Graham (BOOGIE NIGHTS, THE HANGOVER, SWINGERS, AUSTIN POWERS: THE SPY WHO SHAGGED ME, BOWFINGER) joined Adam, Joe, and Arwen LIVE to discuss working on her latest film- Joe Lynch's SUITABLE FLESH (now available on digital and Blu-ray). From growing up as an insecure, brainy, drama geek who never thought of herself as pretty… to becoming an internationally famous actress and considered one of the most beautiful women in the world… to the films and actors that inspired her and made her fall in love with cinema… to playing the iconic role of “Rollergirl” in Paul Thomas Anderson's BOOGIE NIGHTS and the lasting impact that the film has had on our culture… to what it was like working with Joe and playing multiple characters inhabiting the same body in SUITABLE FLESH… this conversation with Heather was an absolute blast and we were so lucky to have her join us for our annual benefit for Save A Yorkie Rescue!
This week, Tripp and Ross go to Hollywood and try making their own low-budget science fiction epic while they discuss Bowfinger. Along the way, they discuss the purpose of art, alternate casting choices, some pre-#metoo jokes that might not work too well, and what the qualifications are to be "Certifiably Fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes. Plus, a little bit of Muppet-talk and lots of love for another Ross-anointed National Treasure. Theme Song: Jonworthymusic Powered by Riverside.FM

Just in time for turkey day, in which we have a lot to be thankful for, comes this delightful discussion with plenty of fixins. Fresh from their excellent new podcast, A Tripp Through Comedy, two new guests join me but I've been following them ever since we all met during Triviaspotting. Ross Bratin and Tripp Burton join me to talk all about the filmography of Frank Oz, someone each of us love and grew up with - whether as a Muppet or as a director, his achievements and talent are immeasurable. We start with his very first solo gig as a director, The Muppets Take Manhattan and go all the way up to his last narrative feature, Death at a Funeral. We discover some thematic ties and most importantly, we have lots of laughs due to Oz's incredible skills as a comedic filmmaker. In other words, mostly (but not entirely) a love fest for someone that we hope gets together again to make another film in the future. But if not, we're glad he accomplished so much throughout his career. Thank you so much to Tripp & Ross and to you for listening! 00:00 - 36:29 - Intro / Get To Know Ross + Tripp 36:30 - 01:21:27 - The Muppets Take Manhattan, Little Shop Of Horrors, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels 01:21:28 - 01:48:47 - What About Bob?, Housesitter, The Indian in the Cupboard 01:48:48 - 02:27:15 - In & Out, Bowfinger, The Score 02:27:16 - 02:56:43 - The Stepford Wives, Death at A Funeral 02:56:44 - 03:07:30 - Top 3 Frank Oz Films / Outro Follow Ross: https://letterboxd.com/rbratin https://twitter.com/rbratin Follow Tripp: https://letterboxd.com/enb3 https://twitter.com/TrippBurton13 A Tripp Through Comedy: https://twitter.com/attcpod Jim Is Here: https://linktr.ee/jimlaczkowski https://5years.substack.com
Who doesn't love a movie about making a movie? Who doesn't love Eddie Murphy? Who doesn't love Steve Martin? By the end of our "Bowfinger" podcast, you'll find out exactly who. Along the way, you'll hear Big D downplay the tragedy of Anne Heche's death. Gene will explain his fascination with Gogglebox. And you'll discover this 1999 comedy's connection to the Church of Scientology. As the Shat Crew considers a move to Michigan, your hosts also reveal what exactly they'd do for a shot at stardom (Big D would do a bit more than Gene would) and reflect back on the pop hit "Boogie in Your Butt."

Did you know what it takes to be a post production supervisor? Or that it's a possible way to climb up the track to Executive Producer? LESLIE CONVERSE is both a producer and a post-Production Supervisor. She tells us about her start in the industry, assisting Director Frank Oz on movies such as The Indian in the Cupboard, In & Out starring Kevin Kline, and Bowfinger starring Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy, she goes into how she started as a post-production supervisor and what that usually entails, and working closely with directors such as Ron Howard, Steven Soderbergh, Frank Oz, Noah Baumbach, and more. She has worked on incredible films such as Marriage Story with Adam Driver, Scarlett Johannsen, Laura Dern, Ray Liotta and Alan Alda, The Laundromat with Meryl Streep, Gary Oldman, Antonio Banderas, David Schwimmer, The Stepford Wives starring Nicole Kidman, Bette Midler, and Matthew Broderick, and more, Hillbilly Elgy starring Amy Adams and Glenn Close, just to name a few. She also discusses getting into producing and how much of a commitment that means, especially as a mother. One of her latest projects was Noah Baumbach's White Noise starring Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig, which she was both a post-production supervisor and executive producer.
