Podcast appearances and mentions of Brian De Palma

This week we return to one of our favorite directors in Brian De Palma to talk about three films that are long overdue and up first is The Untouchables. Journey with us as we discuss the look and style of the film and especially the iconic train steps sequence. Is this an overlooked classic or does it have too many moments that slip up? So pour some rye because the character's cant, grab your best Armani suit, and get ready to take down Al Capone with Eliot Ness. Cheers!

Edgar award-winning, New York Times-bestselling crime novelist and confirmed cinephile Megan Abbott joins us to chat about her latest hit, “El Dorado Drive,” and her long history with one of Brian De Palma's most controversial (and metatextual) movies.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/one-heat-minute-productions/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Today, I'm thrilled to announce my interview with Oscar nominee Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. Tune in to hear some of the stories of her legendary career, including her unconventional path to WEST SIDE STORY, how THE HUMAN COMEDY fulfilled a childhood dream, what Brian De Palma taught her during SCARFACE, the thrill of singing SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE, how AMADEUS inspired her to take acting lessons, why Aldonza in MAN OF LA MANCHA is a thankless role, dancing for Jerome Robbins, how THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO changed courses in rehearsal, why THE KNIFE was ahead of its time, her relationship with Joseph Papp, how she almost starred in KISS ME, KATE, the extended rehearsal process for THE COLOR OF MONEY, how theater is different in London, balancing jet lag with LAW AND ORDER, how Roger Rees led the company of THE WINSLOW BOY, and so much more. Don't miss this candid conversation with a star of stage and screen.

Scarface, sorti en 1983, est un film de Brian de Palma avec comme toile de fond le trafic de drogue, lʹascension dʹun petit malfrat, et les réfugiés cubains en Floride. Dans le rôle principal, Al Pacino qui incarne Tony Montana, jeune homme réfugié aux Etats-Unis, dévoré dʹambition, qui va devenir un patron de la drogue. Tony Montana est Scarface, le balafré, réplique de celui dʹHoward Hawks, sorti en 1932. Mais le remake de Brian de Palma offre un tout autre éclairage sur lʹAmérique des années 80. Ce nʹest plus le temps de la prohibition, mais le temps des malfrats de droit communs cubains, lâchés par Castro sur les USA. Scarface choque à sa sortie et ne rencontre pas le succès escompté. Le public et la critique ne pardonnent pas à De Palma de dénaturer un classique du cinéma. Encore moins à son scénariste Oliver Stone dʹavoir transformé le gangster inspiré dʹAl Capone en un clown violent, le nez plein de cocaïne. Ajoutez à cela une esthétique très assumée, où le rouge sang et le blanc neige de la drogue se fondent dans des décors très colorés, floridiens, des dialogues crus, un langage attrapé dans la rue, le mot fuck répétés plus dʹune centaine de fois, la passion des armes à feu, la drogue à gogo, et on peut imaginer que le film nʹest pas du goût de tout le monde. Mais nous allons vous raconter tout ça. Nous avons comme référence un livre sur Al Pacino de Karina Longworth, Anatomie dʹun acteur, un autre sur Brian de Palma et ses entretiens avec Samuel Blumenfeld. Nous avons des archives, des anecdotes, des extraits pour compléter notre narration. Il ne nous reste plus quʹà embarquer sur un bateau depuis Cuba, et à nous installer en Floride pour monter notre empire de la drogue.

A bestselling novel, a proven director, and multiple actors with name recognition – this is the recipe for blockbuster filmmaking…unless those ingredients don't mix well together. Join the St. Johns as they discuss the Brian De Palma fiasco “The Bonfire of the Vanities” and everything that goes along with it: the miscasting, the excess, and the way it tries to be about too much and doesn't quite nail any of it.

The Art of Pure Cinema: Hitchcock and His Imitators (Oxford University Press) is the first book-length study to examine the historical foundations and stylistic mechanics of pure cinema. Author Bruce Isaacs, Associate Professor of Film Studies and Director of the Film Studies Program at the University of Sydney, explores the potential of a philosophical and artistic approach most explicitly demonstrated by Hitchcock in his later films, beginning with Hitchcock's contact with the European avant-garde film movement in the mid-1920s. Tracing the evolution of a philosophy of pure cinema across Hitchcock's most experimental works - Rear Window, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Psycho, The Birds, Marnie, and Frenzy - Isaacs rereads these works in a new and vital context. In addition to this historical account, the book presents the first examination of pure cinema as an integrated stylistics of mise en scène, montage, and sound design. The films of so-called Hitchcockian imitators like Mario Bava, Dario Argento, and Brian De Palma are also examined in light of a provocative claim: that the art of pure cinema is only fully realized after Hitchcock.

Remakes continue to proliferate on our screens. Over the last few months, we've had live action remakes in cinemas of classic animations Snow White, Lilo And Stitch, and How To Train Your Dragon, along with legacy reboots of the horror hit I Know What You Did Last Summer and DC's Superman, and - coming soon - a new spin on the 1980s comedy The Naked Gun.So is this all just evidence of a dearth of creativity in Hollywood? Or are there some artistically valid reasons to re-make existing films? And can a remake ever be better than the original? Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode delve into the past, present and future of the remake. Mark speaks to critic Anne Billson about the remakes she considers worthy of our attention, from Brian De Palma's Scarface to John Carpenter's The Thing. And he also talks with Jim McBride who, in 1983, directed Breathless - a remake of Jean-Luc Godard's French New Wave classic A Bout de Souffle, which Mark has long considered superior to the original.Ellen talks to TV critic Roxana Hadadi about what television can bring to the remake party - and about the TV series that managed to improve on their source material. And Ellen also speaks to Noah Hawley, showrunner of the multi-Emmy winning Fargo and upcoming Alien: Earth TV series, about the creative possibilities of TV reboots.

Send us a textSPECIAL NOTE: SEASON 15 OF THE GOOD, THE POD AND THE UGLY CELEBRATES THE USE OF THE PRACTICAL AND DIGITAL EFFECT KNOWN AS THE SQUIB. IRL GUN VIOLENCE IS INTOLERABLE AND RENOUNCED BUT... CINEMATIC VIOLENCE WILL BE CELEBRATED IN A WAY WILL DISTURB SOME LISTENERS.  Season 15's temporal pincer movement is inverted with this week's pairing to present its earlier film first. So, one week early, we present to you SCARFACE (1983) with returning guest Erik Van Der Wolf from the Blood & Popcorn podcast filling in for Jack who had a boat to catch.  After last week's meager showing with First Blood, we return to the blood-filled squib in full force in a movie whose violent reputation Erik disputes, taking a chainsaw to arguments by contemporary critics and noting the various cutaways and reaction shows in lieu of direct onscreen violence. He also makes a case that director Brian De Palma shows uncharacteristic restraint in camera flourishes. What's unrestrained— agreed then and now—is the profanity, clocked at 1.32/minute “f's” given, timed by some film nerd and diligently regurgitated by one of your chin beard hosts who watched the Blu-ray commentary.  Typically, we make a halfhearted attempt here in the show notes for a plot recap, but we all know the story of Scarface who's got his word and his balls. This 1980's remake marks a rare confluence of film and actual contemporary events as its Scarface, aka cocaine cowboy Tony Montana played by Al Pacino, is a Cuban refugee, mapping the original immigrant story of the 1932 movie onto real Florida violence. The film is also credited as giving Michelle Pfiefer her breakout role (if one discounts Grease II) in portraying coke whore arm candy. And actual Cuban immigrant and total hottie Steven Bauer plays Montana's bestie (and friend's sister-fucker) Manny Ray.   Blood packets explode during a hotel drug deal gone wrong and again when Montana promotes himself over his boss's dead body and then again when given cocaine super powers at the end of the film as Scarface holds off a mercenary army of hitmen, but surprising no squib explodes when Montana shoots Ray in a fit of rage for what could be interpreted as incestual cockblocking. But you knew the plot already.    Listen as adult boys who grew up in the VHS era (and Thomas) discuss a film that guest Erik loves and the others find a lesser entry in the De Palma 80s filmography. Guest Erik brings a reread of the Oliver Stone screenplay and filmic muscle memory to recite scenes from the formative flick; Ryan stays bullish on the original black and white gangster picture (and on the film Two of a Kind, the 1983 feature that reunited John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John after Grease I), mainly wishing the De Palma film was closer to the original film's runtime; Ken warms to the film and to Erik; and Thomas might have an opinion after his first watch but is more interested in the sequel videogame for the PS2 and prequel novels by comic book and erotic vampire author L.A. Banks.   Next week, Jack returns to discuss the school shooter film Elephant. THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Kyle, Joe, and Rick review the rock musical romantic comedy horror film, Phantom Of The Paradise. Directed and written by Brian De Palma and with music by Paul Williams. The film stars Paul Williams, William Finley, George Memmoli, Gerrit Graham, and Jessica Harper. We ranked the 10 songs from the soundtrack and picked our favorite lines, characters, performers, and scenes. Enjoy!

Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie did the unheard of in the 70s. They both nabbed Oscar noms for a horror movie. Yes, Brian DePalma's "Carrie" was, much like Carrie White's house, a groundbreaker. Featuring telekinesis, the supernatural, religious fanaticism, and (oh yeah) an ever-flowing bucket of pig blood, "Carrie" seemed an unlikely slam dunk, but it scored big with both audiences and critics. Now, decades and remakes later, did Carrie White maybe overreact a smidge? Why did Betty Buckley get the worst of it? And how much 1970s pubic hair belongs in a film's opening credits? The Old Roommates pop on some corsages and give the classic a revisit through their middle-aged lens. Join them ... if you dare. Old Roommates can be reached via email at oldroommatespod@gmail.com.

We offer today two examples of eerie rock music - notable records that have been inspired by horror literature, and classic suspense. H.P. Lovecraft's folky psychedelia, and Paul Williams' soundtrack for Phantom of the Paradise both fit the bill for spine tingling tunefulness.Rock's dramatic possibilities seem obvious, but have rarely been successful. Theater would seem to be the ideal medium for rock music, but early attempts to mix the two were awkward because creators, trying to appease the commercial audiences of the late 1960s, were not attracting the young people — the folks who were actually listening to the cutting edge music of the time.  This, of course, changed over the years, as the young people matured into middle age, and now into late-life. Today, they flock to see shows like Dylan's Girl From the North Country. Rock is the standard musical vehicle for storytelling. PHANTOM OF THE PARADISEPaul Williams, the diminutive maestro of pop song craftsmanship starred in, and scored, Brian De Palma's 1974 re-imagining of Phantom of the Opera, a Faustian fever dream. The composer of “We've only just begun” (originally a bank commercial), and many other pop hits, put his considerable chops on the line for this cinematic effort - which flopped everywhere but Winnipeg, Canada for some reason, and the soundtrack went gold there.Williams, who started his career as a child actor, developed into a popular raconteur, a staple of late night television talk shows, and this exposure perhaps over shadowed his immense acting and musical talent. In this cut, “The Hell of It” his power is persuasive.HP LOVECRAFTGeorge Edwards, a folk singer from Chicago, teamed up with Dave Michaels, a versatile, multi-instrumentalist, to create the Psyche band, HP Lovecraft. The name was chosen by their benefactors, horror aficionados Bill Traut and George Badonsky at Dunwich Records (a label also named for one of the horror master's stories) - and the rest is history in the annals of Buried Musical Treasure. The lifespan of the group was brief, producing only two albums, with personnel changes happening practically from the beginning, but something significant was in the offing.Spin Spin Spin, from the group's second album is a good example of their unique mesh of folk style with classical flavors, featuring swirling harmonic pulsations - which conjure a mysterious aura. A definite time capsule from the Lava Lamp era.   

This week, we re-examine two Brian De Palma classics: the sexy slasher Dressed to Kill (1980) and the gripping Blow Out (1981). We'll uncover how De Palma masterfully draws from Giallo's dark heart and stylistic flair to craft dazzling displays of danger, dripping with suspense and oh so much style.#BrianDePalma #DressedToKill #BlowOut #Giallo #FilmAnalysis #MoviePodcast #HorrorMovies #ThrillerFilm #Cinephile #80sMovies #CultClassics #FilmMaking #Suspense #PodcastLife #NeoNoir Hosted on Acast.

In 1996 Tom Cruise could have done whatever he wanted. He was married, had a positive public image, and the Academy was starting to recognize his work by nominating him for acting Oscars. However, seven months before he would try his hand at another shot at an Oscar with Jerry McGuire, he would add another perk to his resume. A perk that he would ride for nearly 30 years. That, of action star. Being a huge fan of the original TV series, Cruise (and his producing partner Paula Wagner) went to Paramount studios to pitch an idea that would make him a part of the Impossible Mission Force in a feature version of Mission Impossible. A hiring of director Brian DePalma later, Cruise and company were on their way to a franchise that would mark both the positive and negative aspects of its lead star. Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they talk about their overall view of the Mission Impossible franchise, their anticipation for how this podcast series will go. And of course, give their full on reviews of this 1996 original film. Strap in listeners. We're in for a two month ride through the adventures of the IMF!

For their 201st episode, two mask-pulling film critics, two special agent dads, and two stuntman teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, begin a group of retrospective episodes reflecting on the recently finalized "Mission: Impossible" franchise. Taking them a pair at a time, this first episode covers Brian De Palma's "Mission: Impossible" from 1996 and its wild 2000 sequel "M:I-2" from director John Woo. Will and Don are united in praising these two standalone adventures that flaunted what made Tom Cruise and this series interesting and cool before the larger and increasingly overinflated arc would take over later.

With IT: Welcome to Derry on the way + The Life of Chuck out now & The Long Walk coming in September, Coy & Roxy give their Carrie Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Join Coy Jandreau & Roxy Striar as they dive into Brian De Palma's chilling 1976 adaptation of Stephen King's Carrie, where shy high‐schooler Carrie White (Sissy Spacek, Coal Miner's Daughter, Badlands) discovers her hidden telekinetic powers after years of torment. Raised by her fanatically religious mother Margaret White (Piper Laurie, The Hustler, Children of a Lesser God), Carrie endures cruel bullying from classmates—and a humiliating prank in the girls' locker room—that pushes her abilities to the breaking point. Coy & Rox break down every unforgettable moment—from Carrie's first telekinetic outburst in the locker room to the iconic prom scene where sheep's blood “pours down” on Carrie and her powerful revenge unfolds. They'll dissect the slow‐burn suspense of the white‐washed house finale, the surreal use of split‐screen during Carrie's rampage, and Piper Laurie's Oscar‐nominated performance as the deranged mother hook that anchors the film's horror. Don't miss their in‐depth reaction to the film's groundbreaking special effects, its exploration of religious fanaticism and teenage alienation, and why Carrie remains one of the most highly searched‐for horror classics of the 1970s!

The eighth installment in one of the most entertaining franchises ever made, The Final Reckoning is Tom Cruise's Return of the King. Whether it suffers from too much exposition is a matter of taste (and debated by the hosts), but both agree that the movie does what only its star can do: deliver thrills that derive from both the plot and the knowledge that what they are seeing is, in some sense, real. Buster Keaton, Jackie Chan, and Tom Cruise all make themselves as much of a character in the films as the fictional people they are portraying, which puts the viewer in a strange and wonderful place. Tom Cruise has saved the world yet again, and may (as Steven Spielberg told him) have saved the industry. Want to read about the first film in the franchise?

A look back at the 1996 Brian DePalma classic that kicked off Cruise's enduring film franchise.

This week, we're watching a pair of films that truly pushed the boundaries of the erotic thriller. First up is Brian De Palma's voyeuristic Body Double (1984), followed by John McNaughton's pulpy capstone to the genre, Wild Things (1998). Both films deliver their stories through a predominant male gaze, proving to be as controversial as they are horny. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Recalling the Thrill of Mission: Impossible's 1996 Premiere – A Film Buff's Perspective by AKAPAD In 1996, the cinematic landscape shifted with the electrifying debut of Mission: Impossible. As a wide-eyed film buff, I vividly remember the anticipation swirling around its premiere. Directed by Brian De Palma and starring Tom Cruise as the daring Ethan Hunt, the film blended high-octane action, intricate espionage, and a pulse-pounding score that left audiences gripped. From the iconic Langley heist to the explosive train chase, every frame oozed tension and innovation. For AKAPAD, this wasn't just a movie—it was a cultural moment that redefined the spy thriller genre, sparking a franchise that still captivates. Reliving that premiere feels like stepping back into a time when cinema dared us to accept the impossible.

Join us as we break down the early 90's classic, ‘CARLITO'S WAY' and give our honest thoughts on the groundbreaking new horror film, ‘SINNERS.' Thank you for listening and be safe out there. Mixed and edited by: Wesley Swanson.

This week's episode was recorded in front of a live audience on Feb. 7th, 2025, at Cinema 21 in Portland, Oregon. Beloved composer, musician, and iconic actor PAUL WILLIAMS joined us to discuss the film we screened that night, PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE, as well as his impressive and long career in film and music. Paul talks about his experiences working with director Brian De Palma, juggling acting and composing songs for fellow actors William Finley, Gerrit Graham, and Jessica Harper, his stylistic influences for writing the soundtrack, the joy in playing a bastard like Swan and even how Phantom eventually found an audience with the help of some dedicated Winnipeggers. He also shares fascinating stories about his prolific work output, including composing for Jim Henson, how Burt Reynolds got the idea to put him in Smokey & The Bandit, writing songs for the Carpenters, Barbara Streisand & Ishtar, meeting songwriting deadlines while touring with Liza Minelli, how it felt when Phantom superfans Daft Punk reached out to him to collaborate on their music, and so much more.And as if that wasn't enough, there's also a live performance from Paul's latest collaborators, PORTUGAL.
