David Blaine (Do Not Attempt, Buried Alive, Above the Below) is a magician, mentalist, and endurance performer. David joins the Armchair Expert to discuss the deck of cards his mom gave him as a kid in Brooklyn, keeping his magic secret when he was young because other children are a brutal audience, and why his unique ability for breath holding was the beginning of his love of endurance. David and Dax talk about the reason he decided to do the buried alive endurance performance, how Buster Keaton informed him doing stunts in one take for Street Magic, and learning that he could change the course of his mother's day with a simple trick. David explains the physical sensations of spending 44 days in a plexiglass box, why he doesn't recommend eating glass, and how the most meaningful part of making his new show was the people he met.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Last week, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’s Board of Governors announced it would add a new category to its awards ceremony starting 2028– Achievement in Stunt Design. This serves as a major win for the many stuntmen and stuntwomen who’ve lobbied for such an award, with their line of work having existed since the inception of film. Although stunts from the likes of Buster Keaton won’t ever be able to win such an award, there are plenty of recent films that have drawn crowds for their stunts. Whether it be the Mission Impossible or John Wick films, well-designed action sequences have kept moviegoers’ attention, which makes rewarding their stunt designers a great decision as we inch closer to the 100th annual Academy Awards. For this week’s FilmWeek feature, Larry and this week’s critics discuss this news with filmmaker and longtime stuntman, Chad Stahelski.

This week, we're diving whiskers-first into the utterly bonkers, wildly inventive indie oddity that is Hundreds of Beavers — a film that may be about trapping furry woodland critters but ends up capturing something much rarer: pure, anarchic cinematic joy.Directed by Mike Cheslik and starring frequent collaborator Ryland Brickson Cole Tews, Hundreds of Beavers is a near-silent, black-and-white slapstick adventure set in a surreal 19th-century frontier. It follows a hapless, hard-drinking applejack salesman (Tews) who finds himself stranded in a snowy wilderness and must learn the ways of the wild—specifically how to trap beavers—in order to survive, thrive, and maybe even win the heart of a fur trader's daughter.What makes this film stand out isn't just its lo-fi commitment to absurdity—it's the hand-crafted world of practical effects, person-in-costume beavers, and cartoon physics that turn it into a live-action Looney Tunes episode by way of Buster Keaton.

It's time once again for LB, John and Niki to do their usual thang and solve all of the world's problems in just over an hour. This week, our heroes discuss batteries, different ways of making oats, the Burger King's relationship with Ronald McDonald, writing in cursive, why they not have ketchup in glass bottle anymore, hooking up your new chair, penis music, and as expected, somehow even more.Welcome to If You're Driving, Close Your Eyes, a podcast about navigating the cruelty, chaos, and wonder of our terrifying world.

This was a sweet Sunday crossword, with an unusual theme, unusual grid size (!), but the usual great clues that we expect from a Sunday NYTimes crossword. We've covered the biggies in today's episode, but we'd also like to note the "little" people, er, answers, without which this grid would be comically empty. For example, 32D, Prefix with bel, DECI (ha!); 87D, Items being replaced, OLDONES (duh!); and our favorite, 95D, Snatches, comic-book style, YOINKS (rah!).Remember our Triplet Tuesday Contest is coming up faster than a speeding bullet, so tune in Tuesday and see if you can capture the crown.Show note imagery: Famed actor and comedian Buster Keaton, next to someone with pronounced RINGLETs.We love feedback!

20 años tuvo que esperar 'Candilejas' para ganar un Oscar. 20 años desde su estreno. Y 20 años desde que Chaplin viajara a Londres para presentarla mundialmente y ya no pudiera regresar a su país en otros 20 años (por cuestiones políticas). Con estos mimbres, revisamos el gran clásico autobiográfico del director nacido en Reino Unido, que se hizo acompañar de Buster Keaton para esta historia de un payaso venido a menos (y que se estrenó en España hace justo 70 años). Regresamos sobre 'Candilejas' con Carlos Alsina, Rubén Amón, Rosa Belmonte, Guillermo Altares, Sergio del Molino y Nacho Vigalondo. Además, para celebrar los diez años de Más de Uno, escuchamos cómo fue el debut en el programa de cada uno de nuestros culturetas.

Beaver Fever continues to hold sway over Legends Podcast as we visit the wintry woods of Northern Wisconsin for an ultra-indie throwback movie about an applejack brewer turned trapper who contends with the forces of nature. Directed by Mike Cheslik and starring Ryland Tews, the film draws inspiration from a myriad of sources, including the works of Abbott and Costello, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Looney Tunes, and the Three Stooges, as well as wilderness movies like The Revenant and survival role-playing video games, this black-and-white 2022 release has almost no dialogue and very little plot. Off a budget of only $150,000, it grossed over a million in limited screenings, scored a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, and has earned comparisons to the early films of Robert Rodriguez, David Lynch, Wes Anderson, Sam Raimi, and Peter Jackson. But how will our hosts react when confronted with the sound and the fury that is Hundreds of Beavers?   ITHACON 48 is April 5-6, 2025, at Ithaca College in Ithaca, NY!

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia.   Today is Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2025. Strategic location and a skilled workforce are part of why automotive manufacturer Highline Warren says #YesWV…the New River Gorge's Tunney Hunsaker Bridge gets a makeover…and a vintage Wurlitzer organ brings new life to Bluefield's historic Grenada Theater…on today's daily304. #1 – From WVDED – Highline Warren has established itself as a key player in the automotive aftermarket industry, known as a leading distributor with integrated manufacturing and unmatched access to the market. The company offers an expansive selection of national brands, OEM replacement products, and private-label goods.  One of the driving forces behind Highline Warren's success is its strategic presence in Glen Dale, West Virginia. Because the state is within a day's drive of 50% of the U.S. population and a third of the Canadian market, this logistical advantage ensures that customers receive their products quickly and efficiently. West Virginia's skilled workforce brings dedication and expertise, contributing to the company's ability to meet high industry standards and maintain a consistent supply of top-tier automotive products.  Check out the video to learn more about why Highline Warren says #YesWV. Watch now: https://westvirginia.gov/highline-warren-driving-success-in-yeswv/   #2 – From THE REAL WV – Far down in the New River Gorge, in the shadow of the towering New River Gorge Bridge, a West Virginia Division of Highways bridge crew is painstakingly replacing the wooden deck of the historic Tunney Hunsaker Bridge. Built in 1889, the Tunney Hunsaker Bridge was the first bridge across the New River in the New River Gorge, connecting the mining towns of Fayette and South Fayette. When the New River Gorge Bridge opened in 1977, the modest span at the bottom of the gorge was closed to vehicular traffic. But the increase in tourism to the area led to the small span being rebuilt in 1997 and reopened to traffic.  In 1998, the bridge was renamed in honor of Tunney Hunsaker, longtime Fayetteville police chief and a former professional boxer who was matched up against Muhammad Ali in Ali's first professional boxing match. Ali and Hunsaker remained friends over the years, and Ali came to Fayetteville in 1997 for Hunsaker's retirement celebration. Work on the bridge is expected to be finished by the end of March. Read more: https://therealwv.com/2025/02/11/wvdoh-work-crews-redecking-the-historic-tunney-hunsaker-bridge/   #3 – From WV LIVING – On a Saturday evening last April, downtown Bluefield stirred with excitement surrounding an unlikely source: Buster Keaton's 1926 silent film The General.  As the movie played, the walls of the historic Granada Theater reverberated with the musical narrations of a 1920s Wurlitzer organ. The occasion represented a homecoming for the instrument, a century after its first installation. The journey represents the spirit of Bluefield, determined to prove that her best days are ahead. The Granada Theater opened in 1928, initially showing silent films grandly accompanied by organ.

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia.   Today is Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2025. Strategic location and a skilled workforce are part of why automotive manufacturer Highline Warren says #YesWV…the New River Gorge's Tunney Hunsaker Bridge gets a makeover…and a vintage Wurlitzer organ brings new life to Bluefield's historic Grenada Theater…on today's daily304. #1 – From WVDED – Highline Warren has established itself as a key player in the automotive aftermarket industry, known as a leading distributor with integrated manufacturing and unmatched access to the market. The company offers an expansive selection of national brands, OEM replacement products, and private-label goods.  One of the driving forces behind Highline Warren's success is its strategic presence in Glen Dale, West Virginia. Because the state is within a day's drive of 50% of the U.S. population and a third of the Canadian market, this logistical advantage ensures that customers receive their products quickly and efficiently. West Virginia's skilled workforce brings dedication and expertise, contributing to the company's ability to meet high industry standards and maintain a consistent supply of top-tier automotive products.  Check out the video to learn more about why Highline Warren says #YesWV. Watch now: https://westvirginia.gov/highline-warren-driving-success-in-yeswv/   #2 – From SOURCE – Far down in the New River Gorge, in the shadow of the towering New River Gorge Bridge, a West Virginia Division of Highways bridge crew is painstakingly replacing the wooden deck of the historic Tunney Hunsaker Bridge. Built in 1889, the Tunney Hunsaker Bridge was the first bridge across the New River in the New River Gorge, connecting the mining towns of Fayette and South Fayette. When the New River Gorge Bridge opened in 1977, the modest span at the bottom of the gorge was closed to vehicular traffic. But the increase in tourism to the area led to the small span being rebuilt in 1997 and reopened to traffic.  In 1998, the bridge was renamed in honor of Tunney Hunsaker, longtime Fayetteville police chief and a former professional boxer who was matched up against Muhammad Ali in Ali's first professional boxing match. Ali and Hunsaker remained friends over the years, and Ali came to Fayetteville in 1997 for Hunsaker's retirement celebration. Work on the bridge is expected to be finished by the end of March.

The occasion represented a homecoming for the instrument, a century after its first installation. The journey represents the spirit of Bluefield, determined to prove that her best days are ahead. The Granada Theater opened in 1928, initially showing silent films grandly accompanied by organ. However, by the late '70s, the theater had closed, and the organ was sold to a private buyer.  In 2012, the Bluefield Arts and Revitalization Corporation set its sights on restoring the Granada, including the original Wurlitzer organ.

In this episode, I spoke with Professor Lisa Haven about her recent book "Early Buster Keaton: From the Vaudeville Stage to Comique Films 1899-1920". Since nearly every aspect of Keaton's story and work has been written about in some form, it is the goal of this book to present a new perspective on Keaton's early life in the entertainment business, beginning before vaudeville and moving through the Comique films, Keaton's first foray into the industry.Pre-order her book on Amazon or another bookstore.  Book is scheduled to be release on March 30th.  Order today!

Send us a textToday's episode is my conversation about the 1927 film Sunrise: The Song of Two Humans. My friend Joe Cruz from the Joe's Video Club newsletter joins me to discuss the film and we talk about how modern filmmakers could take a lesson from Murnau in trusting the audience to understand the story based on visuals alone, how we disagree with the reviewers of the time when it comes to the acting in the film, and some of the incredible film techniques on display in the film.You can watch Sunrise on YouTube and be sure to check out Joe's newsletter.Other films mentioned in this episode include:The General directed by Buster Keaton and Clyde BruckmanThe Last Laugh directed by F.

Each suffering from their own unique set of cosmic ailments, and yet somehow still undeterred from their podcasting duties, Niki, John and LB crack open a cold one and talk turkey (or rather, chickens) for their weekly get-together, which you're all invited to! Topics of discussion during this salon include (but are not limited to) building a tower to get around Los Angeles zoning regulations, the plot of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (sort of), the fuckin' pizza that's cold with no cheese on it, Will Smith's latest single, and thankfully, somehow even more.Welcome to If You're Driving, Close Your Eyes, a podcast about navigating the cruelty, chaos, and wonder of our terrifying world.

Llegó la despedida de Calo. Sí. En serio. Nah. No tan en serio, se nos va dos semanas nomás. En su honor apostamos todo a una comedia independiente algo experimental: Hundreds of Beavers (2022) de Mike Cheslik. Eso nos dio la excusa para hablar de slapstick, Chaplin, Looney Tunes, Buster Keaton y más. Coyuntura hay de sobra porque vuelan los carpetazos pre Oscar como nunca. Todos usaron inteligencia artificial, cancelaciones para acá y para allá, etc. En el medio de todo eso Criterion Channel programa cine negro argentino. Mi país, mi país. Si querés más de Santiago Calori y Fio Sargenti podés ponerla toda, poquita o casi en hoytrasnoche.com. Gracias.

This is the 3rd straight January in which Have You Ever Seen has talked about a Buster Keaton comedy classic. Reviews of most of the man's great silent films are now on this channel, including our podcast about The General that went up nearly 12 years ago. And if this incredible stuntman and stonefaced actor isn't a must-see for serious film buffs, then just who is? Although, while Steamboat Bill Jr. has an effective story and it's exciting and fun, it's just not very funny. And that's a common tale with old movies. In this, Buster's disapproving father wants him---but also DOESN'T want him---to be part of the crew of his riverboat steamer. There's heated competition with a rich guy, who has a daughter that Buster is sweet on. And then came a cyclone, complete with a collapsing house and a gutsy actor standing there underneath it. The last 15 or 20 minutes played during that violent storm make Steamboat Bill Jr entirely worth your time. So cozy up for a Ryan monologue in our 638th edition.

Happy holidays! Grateful to my incredibly smart and passionate guests to cover a genre I'm not as well-versed in - Hong Kong cinema particularly martial arts action. I am familiar with Buster Keaton though unlike the first time I saw Rumble In The Bronx back in 1995 at the local multiplex.

Joining me for a discussion on the directorial work of a master stunt man, actor, singer, death-defying daredevil Jackie Chan… are newcomer Sam Inglis and returning genre champion Gabe Powers.

This was one of my favorite conversations over the last year or so. Figured it'd be nice to share it again...   We are joined in this episode by Writer, Producer, Actor and Mentor, LARRY WILMORE! We discussed what drew Larry to comedy, writing, acting and producing; and, yes, we did talk about the WGA strike; why, as a kid, he was compelled by the work of such greats as Houdini, Buster Keaton, the Marx Brothers and Flip Wilson; rebounding from professional setbacks and keeping a healthy mindset; his thoughts on the "TP&R question" - how to be better at talking about politics and religion across our differences; and we got pretty deep with the concept of consciousness, meaning and why humans have a desire to have a life of meaning.   Emmy Award winner Larry Wilmore is a prolific producer, actor, comedian, and writer. He is also the host of the excellent podcast Larry Wilmore: Black on the Air. Larry is perhaps best known for his role as host of Comedy Central's The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore and as the “Senior Black Correspondent” on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Off-screen, Larry serves as co-creator and consulting producer on HBO's Insecure, and helped to launch ABC's black-ish as an executive producer and is a co-creator of the spin-off Grownish. Previously, he has written for In Living Color, The PJ's (which he co-created), The Office (on which he also appeared), and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He also served as creator, writer, and executive producer of The Bernie Mac Show, which earned him his Emmy for “Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series” and a 2001 Peabody Award. In 2016, Larry hosted the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner.
