Welcome back to the 270th episode of The Cup which is our a weekly (give or take, TBD, these are unprecedented times) performing arts talk show presented by Cup of Hemlock Theatre. With the theatres on a come back we offer a mix of both reviews of live shows we've seen and continued reviews of prophet productions! For our 270th episode we have an episode of “The Cup: Editorial” in which Co-Artistic Producers Ryan Borochovitz and Mackenzie Horner pull together various threads that have been on our mind around the topic of Shakespeare on film prompted in part by the Oscar buzz around Chloé Zhao's Hamnet. What does it mean for a movie to be (or not to be) Hamlet? Is Disney's The Lion King really as Hamlet-ish as your cool English teacher would have you believe? What are some pitches for new Shakespearean film adaptations we'd like to see? Join Ryan Borochovitz and Mackenzie Horner, as they discuss everything from Hamnet to Hamlet, Burton to Branagh, and Pride Rock to pumpkin pants.

Tune in as Andy (Fat Dude Digs Flicks Movie Podcasts) regains his comfy old guest seat in order to unpack Dead Again, the 1991 neo-noir romantic thriller about a private investigator's mission to help an amnesiac and nonverbal woman recover her memories—a path that ends up uncovering a strange connection between her and a murder from several decades ago. Thoughts on Kenneth Branagh as a director, Robin Williams being talented enough to distract us from the exposition-dumping of his side role, showing love for the tropes of amnesia and hypnotism, and nostalgia for older thrillers from the 90s or so that were willing to go places (including Kiss the Girls and What Lies Beneath) arise as a few of the topics for this episode.Directed by Kenneth Branagh, Dead Again stars Branagh, Emma Thompson, Derek Jacobi, Wayne Knight, Andy Garcia, Robin Williams, Richard Easton, Jo Anderson, Hanna Schygulla, Campbell Scott, and Miriam Margolyes.Spoilers for What Lies Beneath start at 33:00 and end at 33:50Spoilers for Dead Again start at 34:40Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastrHere's how you can learn more about Palestine and IsraelHere's how you can keep up-to-date on this genocideHere's how you can send eSIM cards to Palestinians in order to help them stay connected onlineGood Word:• Andy: Candy Cain Kills and Candy Cain Kills Again: The Second Slaying by Brian McAuley• Arthur: Dinner in AmericaReach out at email2centscritic@yahoo.com if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!Be sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes or any of your preferred podcasting platforms!Follow Arthur on Twitter, Goodpods, StoryGraph, Letterboxd, and TikTok: @arthur_ant18Follow Arthur on Bluesky: @arthur-ant18Follow the podcast on Twitter: @two_centscriticFollow the podcast on Instagram: @twocentscriticpodFollow Arthur on GoodreadsCheck out 2 Cents Critic Linktree

God creates man. Man creates man. Tragedy ensues. On this one, we're comparing two different adaptations of “The Modern Prometheus”. We have Kenneth Branagh's 1994 film starring Branagh and Robert De Niro vs. Guillermo del Toro's 2025 film starring Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi. Who wins? Let's find out.

¿Qué ocurre cuando encierras a tres mentes creativas en una cabaña aislada bajo la nieve, le añades "sustancias recreativas" ancestrales a un muñeco de nieve y esperas a que caiga un rayo? Pues que la Navidad se convierte en una monster movie de manual. En este Especial Navideño de 7 Pecados Digitales, no estamos solos. Me acompañan mis socios de fechorías y fatigas creativas: Borja Abad y Joseba Bajo. Mientras intentamos sobrevivir al asedio de una abominación helada que nosotros mismos hemos creado (cosas del directo y de la chamanería low cost), analizamos a fondo tres visiones del mito de Prometeo que nos obsesionan: El Jovencito Frankenstein: La parodia perfecta de Mel Brooks que nos enseñó que el cerebro es importante, pero el amor (y un buen violín) lo es más. ⚡ Frankenstein de Mary Shelley (Kenneth Branagh): Sudor, ópera, cámaras girando y un De Niro recosido en la adaptación más intensa y visceral. El Frankenstein de Guillermo del Toro: La visión más reciente y esperada, donde la monstruosidad se encuentra con la poesía visual del maestro mexicano. Preparaos los auriculares, cerrad bien las ventanas y echad leña al fuego. Va a ser una noche larga. En este episodio: El peligro de mezclar rituales y nieve. Por qué Igor (o Aigor) es el mejor secundario de la historia. La obsesión de Branagh por salir sin camiseta. ¿Es el monstruo el villano o somos nosotros? (Spoiler: somos nosotros). MENSAJE PARA LA PARROQUIA DE PECADORES ¡Atención, parroquia de pecadores y penitentes! Desde este refugio asediado, y antes de que la criatura vuelva a intentar entrar por la chimenea, quiero mandaros un mensaje de parte de Borja, Joseba y un servidor. Gracias por acompañarnos en este descenso a los infiernos digitales y narrativos durante todo el año. Espero que estas fiestas las paséis rodeados de la gente que queréis (o de los monstruos que mejor os caigan). Os deseamos una Navidad de cine, llena de historias que os vuelen la cabeza, regalos que no esperabais y, por qué no, un poquito de oscuridad para apreciar mejor la luz. Que vuestros propósitos de año nuevo sean ambiciosos y que vuestras pesadillas sean, como mínimo, creativas. Comed, bebed y, si hacéis un muñeco de nieve... por lo que más queráis, no le pongáis la pipa de papá. ¡Feliz Navidad y larga vida al monstruo!

Denzember continues with Culture Kitsch host Bobbi Miller joining us to discuss Kenneth Branagh's 1993 Shakespeare adaptation Much Ado About Nothing. Following his successful Henry V adaptation, Branagh returned to Shakespeare for a much airier, light-hearted affair, fashioning the classic play into an immensely pleasurable studio romantic comedy while preserving the spirit and (more importantly) the language of Much Ado..., assembling a showstopper ensemble led by Branagh, Emma Thompson, Michael Keaton, Keanu Reeves, and Denzel as Don Pedro of Aragon, nearly 30 years before he would take on The Tragedy of Macbeth.  We begin with a discussion of Branagh's formal tendencies, how his maximalism works for the genre, and illuminate his underremarked upon technical prowess. Then, we discuss what Branagh's Much Ado...  preserves from Shakespeare's stage, what it omits, and how these ommissions speak to the film's position as an End of History artifact interested in reifying traditional family values centered around monogamous, heterosexual couplings. Finally, we discuss how Denzel's Don Pedro is utliized narratively and thematically in the film, and how Denzel's movie star persona and race factor into our perception of the character.

L'immortale romanzo di Mary Shelley rivive ancora, grazie a questa splendida interpretazione di un Guillermone Del Toro sempre in palla ed esperto a regalare al pubblico una vera e propria opera d'arte, con un cast azzeccatissimo e tre capitoli che lasciano senza fiato. Jacob Elordi ha fatto un lavoro immenso e riuscito, nel rappresentare una creatura poetica, rabbiosa e fragilmente umana.Una pellicola da vedere e rivedere, per cogliere gli aspetti più svariati ed è criminoso che Netflix non abbia fatto uscire in sala quello che per me è già un capolavoro del gotico, ma anche una storia profondamente romantica e struggente.In culo a quella palla fotonica di Branagh, con un De Niro completamente fuori parte.

Heidihuuuuuuuuhuuuu Welt! Unser alljährliches Halloween-Spezial steht wieder an und diesmal widmen wir uns einer der berühmtesten und wegweisendsten Geschichten des Horrorkinos: FRANKENSTEIN! Denn auch über 200 Jahre nachdem Mary Shelly ihren zeitlosen Roman „Frankenstein oder Der moderne Prometheus“ veröffentlichte, wird der Stoff regelmäßig neu verfilmt, neu interpretiert, neu gedacht. Zusammen mit ihrem Gast Jacob bauen eure verrückten Wissenschaftler MO und Sandro ein gewaltiges Podcast-Monster aus den stilistisch prägendsten Frankenstein-Verfilmungen zusammen, beginnend bei den legendären Universal-Filmen um Boris Karloff, über die ebenso blutigen, wie trashigen Hammer-(Farb)Filme mit Peter Cushing, bis hin zur opulenten 90er-Adaption von Branagh und vielen weiteren (teils schrägen) Bestandteilen. Dabei nehmen sie nicht nur die Werke und ihre Epochen unter die Lupe sondern ergründen auch, warum der Mythos Frankenstein nach wie vor nichts an seiner Faszination verloren hat. Zu guter Letzt erwartet euch außerdem noch ein knackiges (F)Ranking euer Horror-Dudes, sowie ein kleiner Ersteindruck zur neusten Frankenstein-Umsetzung von Monster-Magistrat Guillermo del Toro. [Link zum ersten Frankenstein Stummfilm von 1910 auf YouTube](https://youtu.be/lAgNWAa9ns4?si=6knrYqkn1vXCoEfM) In diesem Sinne: Bleibt lebendig und menschenfrei!

New episode out now! We watched the 1991 neo-noir film Dead Again, directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh and also featuring Emma Thompson, Derek Jacobi, and Andy Garcia. We wonder how we've never heard of this film because of the stacked cast, discuss how the personal history of Branagh and Thompson may have colored our perception of the film, get frustrated at the male ego and the need to be a hero, and debate how the movie would have felt with different actors. We discuss the concept of past lives and fate and how they were utilized in the story, think the old age makeup was terrible, have major issues with romancing an amnesiac, and debate the success of what the movie was trying to do. Katy pitches a TV show, Carrie got a warm heart hug while watching, Maddy wants to be in a weird old elevator, and Mack is not on Blue's Clues. We also talk about where we've seen the filming locations before, think the accents are not great, get annoyed at water, and mention Buffy multiple times. Listen to hear more about soulmates, Robin Williams, claddagh ring traditions, Georgia O'Keeffe, pronouncing “Jacobi” wrong, and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Enjoy!TW: Infidelity, drug use, amnesia consent issues, fatphobia, domestic violence, animal carcass mention

In this wrap-up episode, we reflect on our journey through Shakespeare's King Henry V by examining three distinct productions that bring the play to life in unique ways. We begin with Kenneth Branagh's 1989 Oscar-nominated film adaptation, renowned for its realism and cinematic approach. Next, we delve into the 2022 Donmar Warehouse production starring Kit Harington, which frames Henry's leadership through a modern lens. Finally, we discuss the 2012 Shakespeare's Globe production with Jamie Parker, which offers a more traditional yet energetic take on the play. By comparing these interpretations, we explore how different directorial choices and performances can influence our understanding of the play's themes, characters, and historical context.

Book Vs. Movie: Death on the NileThe 1937 Agatha Christie Novel Vs the 2022 Kenneth Branagh film. Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile has long been a fan favorite, combining romance, betrayal, and murder aboard a glamorous steamer cruising the Nile River. In 2022, director Kenneth Branagh brought the classic mystery back to the big screen with an all-star cast and a modern flair. But how faithful is this adaptation to the original 1937 novel?Branagh (who returns as Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot) updates the cast of characters from the source material and discusses the racial politics of the time more. The director also adds to Poirot's backstory, including his facial hair and past romances, which are not in the book.  Between the original novel and the film — did we prefer one over the other?

Kenneth Branaghs second film he directed involves a weird neo-noir almost pulp-like thriller where Branagh and Emma Thompson must figure out a murder from their past lives. Robin, who is only in three fairly short scenes, is playing a psychiatrist named Doctor Carlisle Cozy.

This... episode... is for YOU! Grab your scissors and your faux American accents as NostalgiaCast continues its "Bucket List" season of '90s favorites with a hypnotic look back at DEAD AGAIN, starring Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson, and Robin Williams. Listen as Jonny and Darin recount their history with Branagh as actor, filmmaker, and connoisseur of Shakespeare, and how his attempt at a bombastic Grand Guignol neo-noir murder-mystery with a supernatural bent will either bore you or leave you mute with fear. 

In this episode we are joined by mystery novelist Eloise Corvo! She regales us with stories about horrors on the hiking trail and explains how the original Scooby-Doo TV show is a lot like Agatha Christie -- and it's not because Ms. Christie liked Scooby snacks. She also dishes about her upcoming book OFF THE BEATEN PATH -- a brand new cozy mystery coming soon to a bookstore near you. Get out your Halloween candy (or your favorite Venetian pastry!) and join us as we guess on A HAUNTING IN VENICE!

The Shed, a relatively new multidisciplinary arts institution in Manhattan, has already made a habit of presenting buzzy theater productions — including the current, sold-run of "King Lear" starring Kenneth Branagh. Artistic director Alex Poots talks about how that show grew out of a years-along rapport with Branagh, and how the Shed's theater work fits into the broader landscape of Broadway and New York theater.

Tom Holland appeared on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and with a drum roll announced that Spider-Man 4 officially begins shooting next summer. This information is coupled with an announcement from Sony that the release date is July 24, 2026. 20th Century Studios President Steve Asbell sat down with The Hollywood Reporter recently to discuss the future of their filmmaking division under Disney. Asbell seemed to Mirror other disney subsidiaries with it's assurance that a focus on franchise films is the path of the future. They will likely continue franchises such as Avatar, the Alien-verse, and Planet of the Apes, plus Kenneth Branagh's Agatha Christie mystery adaptations will continue though it's not clear if Branagh is attached. Among other films discussed were a Master and Commander prequel, Something with Die Hard, the next Predator movie (two are coming out and one is a secret), and the possibility of a Speed 3.  Writer Steven Knight has left the Rey Star Wars movie. Knight replaced the original screenwriters just last March, but this looks to be another delay to the development of the film. Notably Knight has been busy, working on the screenplays for the Peaky Blinders feature film, an upcoming biopic starring Angelina Jolie, and several tv series. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is still slated to direct the future Rey movie. Venom: The Last Dance stumbled a bit in its choreography during last week's release in the U.S. with a $51 million dollar opening, but danced to success globally for a total $175 million including $46 million in China, which is the best superhero movie opening in that country since 2019. Sony is pleased with these numbers and well they should be, as the movie did take the top spot over Smile 2, which fell 59 percent. Universal's Oscar baby Conclave opened to $6.5 million, which tied it with The Wild Robot's fifth weekend's earnings. And the Andrew Garfield/Florence Pugh romantic drama We Live in Time came in fifth with $4.8 million. While promoting Robert Zemeckis' film Here, Paul Bettany confirmed that production begins on the Vision series in 2025. Chris Hemsworth is in talks to star in Disney's upcoming Prince Charming movie with Paul King attached to direct. AppleTV+ has unveiled a new trailer for Severance season 2. Severance will premiere on the streamer on Jan. 17, 2025, followed by an episode every Friday through March 21 for a 10 episode season. Ahead of its season 6 debut in December, drama series Virgin River has been renewed for a seventh season at Netflix. With the early renewal, Virgin River becomes Netflix's longest-running current original scripted series. An action comedy film adaptation of retro video game Oregon Trail is in early development at Apple. Will Speck and Josh Gordon are attached to direct and produce. EGOT winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul will provide original music and produce via their Ampersand production banner. Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that the movie will feature a couple of original musical numbers Michael Cera, William H. Macy, and Emilia Jones have joined the cast of Paramount's The Running Man. Netflix has renewed its animated series Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft for a second season. The pickup was a relatively quick one, coming just two weeks after the eight-episode first season premiered. First images have surfaced from Spider-Noir, the Amazon series that will star Nicolas Cage in the title role. Sources tell Deadline that a new English-language Squid Game series is in the works at Netflix, with David Fincher coming on to develop it. Sony Pictures announced that Jumanji 3 is set to hit theaters Dec. 11, 2026. Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan starred in the first two films and are expected to return, as is director Jake Kasdan, who helmed both features.

Here is a compilation of the reviews I did with Movie Dumpster for Bram Stoker's Dracula directed by Francis Ford Coppola and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein by Kenneth Branagh. Both movies were produced by Coppola. His Dracula movie is a modern classic while Branagh's Frankenstein is often forgotten. This is probably fan's favorite two part episode so I thought it would be fun to stitch it together!

With the third entry in Kenneth Branagh's Hercule Poirot series, "A Haunting in Venice," the director and star of the franchise has put out his best effort.  Slimmed down, darker, and oh so moody, it is the work of someone who is clearly feeling more comfortable with the role(s).  Let's discuss...

This week on The First Run, it's people falling out of buildings to their doom week on the big show. First up, Chris and Matt discuss this year's Palm d'Or winner, ‘Anatomy Of A Fall', a court room drama that is praised for its standout performance by Sandra Hüller as a woman accused of killing her husband. Did she? Didn't she? Does it matter? Then Chris gets his Poirot itch scratched as Branagh returns to direct and star in ‘A Haunting In Venice'. After an okay first film, a dull second, is this the end of the gondola for Branagh's series? There's the gravity-defying review of the big releases on Physical Media, featuring the Streaming and Straight to DVD Picks of the Week! Then Matt and Chris close out the show by playing another round of everyone's favorite fill-in-the-blank game, TFR Libs, featuring Timothy Chalamet, David Fincher, and more! 00:00-13:23: Intro/ Anatomy Of A Fall13:24-20:47: Physical Media Picks20:48-28:20: A Haunting In Venice28:21-45:36: TFR Libs45:37-46:40: Wrap Up Theme music by Jamal Malachi Ford-Bey

Like a full moon occurring on Halloween, this year our annual Spooktacular episode coincides with our 100th episode. How exhausting to think about! To commemorate this occasion, we dust off a movie we've kicked around covering for years, dunked in a vat of eels and amniotic fluid, and brought it to horrible, horrible life. That's right, it's Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Kenneth Branagh's turgid adaptation of the classic sci-fi / horror / sin against God novel. Leigh, Brendan, and Chris go back in time to discuss Hollywood's brief infatuation with prestigious horror movies based on literature, the film's tendency to deliver dialogue as though it's playing to the last row of the balcony, and Branagh's inability to keep the damn camera still. We also make a suitably sour cocktail to mimic the sensation of being brought back to life by the jolt of a swarm of electric eels. SHOCKING, isn't it? Continue reading →

We're back with a new episode! We dove into Death on the Nile, the 2022 Kenneth Branagh adaptation of the Agatha Christie novel, and wow do we have thoughts. We get right into it, covering the character of Poirot and how we rank Branagh's version compared to the previous two we explored on the podcast. We talk about the fundamental elements of the detective, and consider why we felt this movie missed the mark. We discuss the lack of connection we had to varying degrees, and wonder how much of it had to do with the “style over substance” approach and how it seemed to cater to a general audience. We did, however, admire the costumes and production design (despite the terrible CGI), thought the actual mystery part was adapted well, and believe the attempts at color conscious casting were at least partially successful. We also agreed that the actors did great work with what they were given, but wish these production studios did more to vet the histories and behavior of who they cast. Katy gets her Marvel movies mixed up, Carrie quietly drops some Cleopatra facts, Maddy questions the historical accuracy of balloon releases, and Mack breaks down the patriarchy (it's not about horses). We wonder why every modern hero needs traumatic backstories, enjoy the addition of lesbians, discuss actors who feel weird in period pieces, and ask Mack to answer the age-old question, “Why do men suck so much?” We also cover bullet sizes, Jurassic Park, the Bryan Cranston Effect, dance floor humping, and unions. Listen to hear an incredible Branagh Poirot impression! “Every decision they made was the wrong decision.” - Carrie TW: Anti-vax views, cannibalism, colonialism, racism, appropriation of ancient and modern Egyptian culture, vore. Mentions of Armie Hammer, Russell Brand, Gal Gadot, Johnny Depp Show Notes: The Adam Sandler SNL vacation video Maddy mentioned can be found here. Carrie would like to apologize for calling Emma Mackey Emma Corey multiple times. The actress who played Jackie is definitely Emma Mackey and she is an incredible talent.

Chris and Taylor review the mystery film, A Haunting in Venice, produced and directed by Kenneth Branagh from a screenplay by Michael Green loosely based on the 1969 Agatha Christie novel Hallowe'en Party.
