Couch Potato Theater: Sahara (2005) Watch: Fandom Podcast Network YouTube Channel Link: https://www.youtube.com/@FandomPodcastNetwork Listen: Couch Potato Theater Audio Podcast Link: https://fpnet.podbean.com/category/couch-potato-theater Welcome to Couch Potato Theater, where we celebrate our favorite movies on the Fandom Podcast Network! On this episode we celebrate and discuss the 20th Anniversary of action-adventure film Sahara (2005). Plot: Master explorer Dirk Pitt goes on the adventure of a lifetime of seeking out a lost Civil War battleship known as the "Ship of Death" in the deserts of West Africa while helping a World Health Organization doctor being hounded by a ruthless dictator. Sahara is a 2005 action-adventure film directed by Breck Eisner based on the best-selling 1992 novel of the same name by Clive Cussler. It stars Matthew McConaughey, Steve Zahn and Penélope Cruz, and follows a treasure hunter who partners with a WHO (World Health Organization) doctor to find a lost American Civil War Ironclad warship in the Sahara Desert. The film was shot in 2003 on-location in Morocco as well as in the United Kingdom. It became notable for its many production issues, including doubling its production budget from $80 million to $160 million and a series of lawsuits. Sahara grossed $119 million worldwide at the box-office, ultimately failing to recoup all of its costs, and is often listed among the biggest box-office failures of all time.

Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema's biggest box failures and decide if they deserve a second chance. Alright, alright, alright, the McConaughthon continues with one of the biggest box-office failures of all time: the 2005 action-adventure film Sahara. Known for its troubled production and questionable accounting practices, Sahara saw its budget double and was released with little fanfare. Troy and Brad take a deep dive into this adventure film, which blends elements of Indiana Jones and James Bond, and try to determine if it truly deserves the label of one of the biggest bombs in cinematic history. Sahara is directed by Breck Eisner and stars Matthew McConaughey, Steve Zahn, Penelope Cruz, Lambert Wilson, Glynn Turman, Rainn Wilson, Delroy Lindo, and William H. Macy.

We are bringing you a pre 4th of July Episode with our Review of the 2010 horror film directed by Breck Eisner
Horror remakes are almost as much of a staple of the genre as sequels so it was no real surprise that studios started mining lower budget films made by iconic directors with the chance to do it all over again — this time with more money. Paramount Pictures took that exact step after optioning a remake of the 1973 film called “The Crazies” by director George A. Romero. Scott Kosar, who had previously worked on the remakes of “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and “The Amityville Horror” was hired to write the script. Unfortunately, creative differences with original director Brad Anderson led to the project being shelved. It wasn't until four years later that the film was revived under a new studio with Breck Eisner hired to direct along with a new script that was vastly different than the previous version. While the main plot remained about a military grade biological weapon that accidentally gets dropped in a small town that transforms the people into homicidal psychopaths, Eisner had a different take that he would only focus on the victims rather than spend half the film dealing with the military like in Romero's original work as well as the first script for the remake. According to Eisner, he wanted to see this atrocity being carried out through the eyes of a few main characters from the town where tragedy strikes, which elevated the stakes and made this a much more horrific film….In the latest episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, we're going to turn off the tap water and hope we can escape town limits as we review the 2010 film “The Crazies”… Music courtesy of Andrew Scott Bell

Mark and Megan discuss the excellent 2010 film The Crazies.

In this episode, we discuss pitchforks, horror remakes, and water drinking. Enjoy!Please rate, review, share and subscribe to the podcast. Thanks!

Kicking off their retrospective episodes on horror remakes released in 2010 that celebrate their 10th anniversaries this year, Horror BFFs Heather Wixson and Patrick Bromley put on their hazmat suits and head into Ogden Marsh for a revisit of The Crazies remake. Listen as Heather and Patrick discuss Breck Eisner's reimagining of George A. Romero's 1973 film of the same name, including the government-imposed quarantine, the unsettling behavior (and appearance) of the infected, the film's creepy kills, how it compares to its source material, and the heartfelt performances by Timothy Olyphant and Radha Mitchell. So, whether you're "not sick" (as Joe Anderson's character screams) or you're getting over a cold (and hopefully not exhibiting signs of the bioweapon Trixie), sit back, relax, and enjoy a new Horror BFFs episode of Corpse Club!

Career Q&A with Matthew McConaughey. Moderated by Jenelle Riley, Variety. Texas native Matthew McConaughey is one of Hollywood's most sought-after leading men. A chance meeting in Austin with casting director and producer Don Phillips led him to director Richard Linklater, who launched the actor's career in the cult classic Dazed and Confused. Since then, he has appeared in over 40 feature films that have grossed over $1 billion; and has become a producer, director, and philanthropist -- all the while sticking to his Texas roots and "jk livin'" ["just keep living"] philosophy. 2012 saw him spotlighted in four diverse performances. He won a Spirit Award for his portrayal of Dallas Rising in Steven Soderbergh's Magic Mike, and was named the year's Best Supporting Actor by both the New York Film Critics Circle and the National Society of Film Critics for his work in Magic Mike and Richard Linklater's Bernie. Mr. McConaughey also received acclaim for his performance in Lee Daniels' The Paperboy, and was a Spirit Award nominee for playing the title role in William Friedkin's Killer Joe. April 2013 saw the release of Jeff Nichols' Mud, which received rave reviews and was a sleeper hit in the national box office top 10 for five weeks. He stars opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street, opening in November 2013. In the first quarter of 2014, he will be seen starring alongside Woody Harrelson in the HBO dramatic series True Detective. Mr. McConaughey is currently at work filming Interstellar, directed by Christopher Nolan, for release in November 2014. His other films include Brad Furman's The Lincoln Lawyer; Mark Waters' Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, with Jennifer Garner of Dallas Buyers Club; Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder; Andy Tennant's Fool's Gold; McG's We Are Marshall; Tom Dey's Failure to Launch; Dan Gilroy's Two for the Money; Donald Petrie's How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days; Rob Bowman's Reign of Fire; Jill and Karen Sprecher's Thirteen Conversations About One Thing; Bill Paxton's Frailty; Adam Shankman's The Wedding Planner; Jonathan Mostow's U-571; Ron Howard's EDtv; Richard Linklater's The Newton Boys; Steven Spielberg's Amistad; Robert Zemeckis' Contact; Joel Schumacher's A Time to Kill; and John Sayles' Lone Star. He earned a People's Choice Award for Sahara, directed by Breck Eisner, the first feature made by his production company j.k. livin productions. In 2008, Mr. McConaughey started The just keep livin Foundation (www.jklivinfoundation.org), which is dedicated to helping boys and girls transform into men and women through programs that teach the importance of decision-making, health, education, and active living. The Foundation has partnered with Communities in Schools (CIS) -- the nation's largest, non-profit, dropout-prevention organization -in West Los Angeles to implement fitness and wellness programs in two large urban high schools. Through an afterschool program, they are able to give kids a healthy start in life and the promise of a healthy future.

A plane crashes into a small town's reservoir, accidentally spreading a biological weapon called TRIXIE among the town's population. If the virus doesn't kill you, it makes you insane.

He attended boarding school in Ojai, California, and later received a degree in history from the University of Colorado, where he was a world-class skier. Following a year abroad in Paris, Flanigan wrote for various national print publications and worked on Capitol Hill. After moving to New York to study acting, he joined The Neighborhood Playhouse and it wasn’t long before his acting career was launched in earnest. Moving to Los Angeles in 1994, Flanigan’s television debut was an auspicious one, starring opposite Jacqueline Smith in the NBC miniseries Family Album. He was the series lead on Stargate: Atlantis and a series regular on Sisters and First Monday.
