TVC 689.2: Dore Page, author of Leslie Stevens Goes to Hollywood: Daystar Productions, Kate Manx and the Making of Private Property, talks to Ed and guest co-host Chuck Harter about Stoney Burke (ABC, 1962-1963), the “art house” look at the lives of 20th-century rodeo riders starring Jack Lord, Bruce Dern, and Warren Oates and produced by Leslie Stevens that ABC canceled after one season—despite garnering a 38 share—partly because the show was considered too ethereal for sponsors to get behind. Other topics this segment include how Warren Oates' character on Stoney Burke can be considered a forerunner to Angel Martin (the character that Stuart Margolin later played on The Rockford Files), and how Stevens came to pattern his independent production company, Daystar Productions, after Quinn Martin Productions once Stevens decided to focus on developing projects for television.

We're back after 3 years!! In this episode, Film Detective dives into two iconic 1970s sci-fi films that explore dystopia, ecology, and the human condition: Logan's Run (1976) and Silent Running (1972). The show examines the sleek futurism and hedonistic nightmare of Logan's Run, where society eliminates anyone over 30 to maintain a utopian illusion. Through its vibrant production design and social commentary, the film reflects fears of overpopulation and loss of individuality. Then, the episode shifts to Silent Running, Douglas Trumbull's directorial debut, which swaps sleek cities for a lonely spaceship harboring the last forests of Earth. Bruce Dern delivers a haunting performance as a botanist who defies orders to preserve the natural world. The show explores the film's environmental message, minimalist storytelling, and groundbreaking visual effects. Including the precursor of the AI technological surge we are currently experiencing in 2025. Together, the films paint a picture of early '70s sci-fi's moral concerns—questioning progress, control, and our relationship with nature.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela return with a chaotic blend of conspiracy, nostalgia, and dark comedy. They open by digging into Nazi fugitives hiding in Argentina, the mystery of the Ark of the Covenant, and bizarre CIA psychic experiments. Indiana Jones gets fact-checked, ancient relics are questioned, and things spiral from there. Pop culture takes hits with jabs at Jamie Lee Curtis, Ozempic knockoffs like Lean, and "The Passion of the Christ" getting compared to "Shrek 2." That kicks off a full-blown Mel Gibson breakdown, covering everything from "Payback" to "Blood Father," "What Women Want," and "Conspiracy Theory." Then it's Nicolas Cage's turn: "Pig," "Face/Off," "Con Air," and his legendary spending habits. A deep dive into "Mask" leads to savage takes on Eric Stoltz's prosthetics, Rocky Dennis, and Laura Dern's skull. The crew debates "Lethal Weapon" rankings, mourns spoof comedies, praises Bruce Dern's Tarantino roles in "The Hateful Eight" and "Django Unchained," and shouts out forgotten gems like "The 'Burbs" and "Nebraska." It wraps with Meghan Markle's billion-dollar podcast, Elton John's AA opener, and the glory of "Walk Hard" and "Popstar." This episode of "Normal World" features comedian Kris Fried.

Filmmakers like Scorsese, Coppola, Cassavetes, Altman, Lumet, and DePalma hit their stride and brought to the screen their specific vision and stylized films.

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay grab their blankets and microphones and head to a haberdashery to discuss 'The Hateful Eight.' Andy puts the stew on then tells a story about the time school was cancelled so he went to a friend's place for some extracurriculars, and the party quickly spiraled out of control. Then the boys sit down and get cozy to talk about one of the great winter movies that fully captures the feel of being stranded in a snowstorm. Even though the flick is a chamber piece it features some of Quentin Tarantino's most stunning photography capturing the snowy vistas. Afterwards, the movie with a gargantuan runtime settles into a whodunnit for the ages filled with vile characters. Centering around the capture of the always-great Jennifer Jason Leigh, the cast is uniformly great including a scene-chewing Walton Goggins, and a curmudgeonly Bruce Dern. On top of being beautifully shot and wonderfully acted, the movie is bolstered by a wonderful score. The fellas get movie geeky and discuss how the film's Oscar win for the score was a vindication for a genre masterpiece. Overall, the movie is a degen classic filled with mean bastards, and mean bastards, you need to hang.

Matt Williams utilizes a character-centric approach in creating and developing iconic television series, including Roseanne and Home Improvement. The Humanitas Prize and 6-time Emmy nominated Evansville native received graduate degrees in directing and acting, and embarked on a host of television commercials, as an actor, before realizing his talent and bliss as the driving force behind impactful, relatable film and television projects. After cutting his teeth as an actor (and de facto writer and re-writer) on the CBN soap, Another Life, Matt produced and joined the writing staff of The Cosby Show during its premiere season. It was there where he learned the relevance of inviting the audience to the family table — a concept that bore fruit with regard to the development of Roseanne. In the years which followed, Matt co-created and executive produced a number of television shows under the umbrella of Wind Dancer, the production company he founded with Carmen Finestra and David McFadzean, the latter whom Matt first met at University of Evansville, which include Home Improvement, Buddies, Thunder Alley and Soul Man. He directed and produced the films Where the Heart Is, starring Natalie Portman and Ashley Judd, about a young woman who delivers a baby in a Wal Mart after being abandoned by the latter's father in the parking lot, and her journey of growth and self-discovery which follows; and Walker Payne, which he also co-wrote, and starred Jason Patric, Bruce Dern, Drea de Matteo and the legendary Sam Shepard and premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. Additional producing efforts include What Women Want, Bernie, As Cool as I Am and Wild Hearts Can't be Broken.

For episode #600 of Have You Ever Seen, we're completing the Quentin Quest. With this, we have reviewed everything Tarantino has directed (well, discounting Four Rooms). Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is the man's most-emotional film and it's his most-personal too. The outstanding cast is headlined by the hilarious Leonardo Di Caprio, the gruff (and Oscar-winning) Brad Pitt and the sweet-as-honey Margot Robbie. She doesn't get as much to do as the guys do, but her lovely performance always brings one of us to tears. This film is funny, it's heartfelt, it's tense and QT gets back into "revisionist history" territory when Leo & Pitt's fictional characters cross paths with the very-real Manson maniacs. Bring on the ultra-violence...and bring on the laughs! This movie about movie-making (and television-making) isn't Tarantino's #1 film, but it deepens with meaning every time we see it. So enjoy this fairy tale that often feels as real as a donut because we're talking about Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Well, Actually: Jodie Foster appeared in a few TV shows in 1969, so the young actress WAS acting right around the time this movie is set. Also, Bruce Dern worked with QT on The Hateful Eight, of course, but he's also in Django Unchained. Also also, they were shooting the Lancer pilot in February, so Rick not talking about working on that show is probably because a proper season would only start airing after the events of this movie.

It's Die Hard in a ghost town!This time week, Phil and Liam throw a bottle in the air and follow it into the desert, as they try to make sense of the dark and brooding action/thriller/western/gangster picture LAST MAN STANDING.During the prohibition era, mysterious gunslinger John Smith (Bruce Willis) rolls into the small, remote border town of Jericho, Texas, where two rival bootlegging gangs have an uneasy and fragile truce. As Smith gets the lay of the land, he works both sides against the other in search of quick profit…until the conscience that he claims he doesn't have, forces him to pick a side.  After comparing the film to the original 1988 classic in the ‘Die Hard DNA' section, the boys discuss their feelings about writer-director-producer Walter Hill and his robust filmography, citing their favorite Hill movies. As this particular film is a credited remake of Akira Kurosawa's 1961 classic YOJIMBO, Liam is in his element waxing lyrical about the Japanese maestro. Phil also espouses his theory that Hill's remake is less of an action movie, and more of an existential exploration of purgatory. The guys also talk about this film's remarkable ensemble cast, that features stellar performances from Walter Hill staples John Patrick Kelly and Bruce Dern, as well as the likes of William Sanderson, Leslie Mann, Ken Jenkins, Michael Imperioli, Karina Lombard and of course Christopher Walken as the Tommy Gun-toting mob enforcer Hickey. Finally, the guys bust into the ‘Die Hard Oscars' to fire off some action movie awards, and Phil slings Liam some tough questions in the ‘Double Jeopardy' trivia quiz!LAST MAN STANDING trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=763cIT4IXoQAt the time of release, LAST MAN STANDING is streaming on Tubi in the US and is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple/iTunes, YouTube, Fandango and all the usual platforms! Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/die-hard-on-a-blank/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

EPISODE 32 - “The Mary Astor Purple Diary Scandal” - 04/22/2024 One of the most scandalous trials in early Hollywood history involved actress MARY ASTOR, who had made a name for herself playing virginal ingenues and good girls. Mary, who had kept a diary for most of her life, found her words used as a sensationalized weapon against her in her quest to regain custody of her 4-year-old child in 1936 after her acrimonious divorce from her doctor husband. The trial made worldwide headlines. Her sexy, salacious diary entries showed the world a more sensual side to our virginal Mary, and, in many ways, helped propel her career into the stratosphere. Listen as we discuss Mary Astor, her life, her career, and her shocking purple diaries that took center stage in a Los Angeles courtroom.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Mary Astor: My Story (1960), by Mary Astor; Mary Astor: A Life on Film (1972), by Mary Astor;  The Purple Diaries: Mary Astor and the Most Sensational Hollywood Scandal of the 1930s (2016), by Joseph Egan; Mary Astor's Purple Diary: The Great American Sex Scandal of 1936 (2106), by Edward Sorel; IMDBPro.com; Wikipedia.com; Movies Mentioned:  Beau Brummell (1924), starring John Barrymore and Mary Astor; Dodsworth (1936), starring Walter Huston, Ruth Chatterton, Paul Lukas, and Mary Astor; Red Dust (1932), starring Clark Gable, Jean Harlow, and Mary Astor: The Prisoner of Zenda (1937), starring Ronald Colman, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. Madeleine Carroll, Mary Astor, David Niven, Raymond Massey, and C.
