1973's Slither was the directorial debut of Howard Zieff (Private Benjamin, My Girl) and the screenwriting debut for W.D. Richter (Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Big Trouble In Little China). In the freewheeling comedic thriller, James Caan goes on the road looking for a stash of embezzled money with Peter Boyle, Louise Lasser and Sally Kellerman in tow.  Famously, Caan was quoted saying he took the role for the money and had little understanding of the story.

Born To Watch - A Movie Podcast

If ever there was a film that brings true terror out of something as every day as fan meeting their idol, Stephen King's Misery (1990) is that film. Directed by Rob Reiner and based on the bestselling novel by Stephen King, Misery tells a haunting story that swaps out supernatural threats for the all-too-real horror of human obsession. Released at the dawn of the '90s and now over 30 years old, Misery remains one of the most potent psychological horror films of our time. It is a perfect Halloween watch for those who seek more tension than jump scares.Misery centres on novelist Paul Sheldon (James Caan), a successful author famous for his romance series about a character named Misery. After a car accident in a snowstorm, Paul is “rescued” by Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates), a devoted fan who happens to be a nurse—and who also happens to be completely unhinged. When Annie discovers that Paul has killed off her beloved Misery in his latest manuscript, she takes the word “fanatic” to a horrifying new level. A tightly contained, claustrophobic thriller ensues that leaves viewers on the edge of their seats, not with gore or traditional horror imagery, but with an unrelenting, stomach-turning tension.One of the most striking elements of Misery is its setting. From the moment Paul wakes up in Annie's isolated, snow-locked farmhouse, the world shrinks, trapping both Paul and the audience in an increasingly claustrophobic space where the only two characters are locked in a power struggle. Annie's house becomes a cage, meticulously designed to feel familiar and suffocating, with its well-worn furnishings masking a deadly intensity underneath. The snow-covered landscape outside reflects this feeling—cold, remote, and unforgiving. It's a classic King setting that director Rob Reiner uses to maximum effect, making the walls of that farmhouse press ever closer as Annie's mental state deteriorates.Kathy Bates' performance as Annie Wilkes is legendary, and rightly so. In what became her career-defining role, Bates brings vulnerability and sheer terror to the character, infusing Annie with a disarming sweetness that makes her psychosis even more chilling. She is charming one moment, terrifying the next—a character who could exist in real life and who taps into our deepest fears about trusting the wrong people. With almost no warning, the scenes where she switches from gentle caretaker to vengeful captor reveal Bates' extraordinary range and leave viewers with a sense of helpless dread. Her portrayal of Annie won her the Academy Award for Best Actress, a rare honour for a horror performance and one that cemented her place in film history.Opposite Bates, James Caan delivers a nuanced performance as Paul Sheldon. Though Paul starts as a somewhat self-absorbed writer who wants to escape his romantic series, Caan's portrayal evolves as he faces Annie's wrath. Caan captures Paul's vulnerability and determination, making his transformation from a helpless captive to a man desperate for survival both believable and gripping. His character is put through unimaginable psychological and physical torture, but his resilience offers a glimmer of hope amidst the nightmare. Caan and Bates create a twisted, unforgettable dynamic that keeps the film's tension at a fever pitch.One of the film's most famous—and undeniably hardest-to-watch—scenes is the “hobbling” sequence, in which Annie punishes Paul in a shocking act of violence to prevent his escape. The scene is iconic not just for its brutality but also for how it embodies the film's emotional and psychological stakes. By physically maiming him, Annie shows just how deeply she is willing to go to keep her fantasy alive. Her twisted affection is at its apex here, making viewers squirm from the sight and the implications of her actions. The scene became infamous in horror cinema and is arguably more memorable for the psychological horror it encapsulates than for its actual violence. For many, it is the film's defining moment, encapsulating its unflinching approach to the terror of captivity.Reiner, known primarily for his work in comedies and dramas (When Harry Met Sally, Stand by Me), was an unexpected but brilliant choice to direct this adaptation. He understood that Misery would benefit from a restrained approach, choosing tension over blood and psychological horror over spectacle. This restraint is a large part of what makes the movie so unsettling. The viewer is always left dreading what Annie might do next, imagining the horrors rather than seeing them explicitly laid out. Reiner's style here elevates Misery from a straightforward thriller to a layered character study, forcing audiences to confront the darkness in everyday people and situations.Beyond its immediate impact, Misery has left a lasting influence on pop culture, particularly how it portrays fan obsession. Annie's character has become a cultural symbol for the idea of the “toxic fan,” a trope that has only become more relevant with the rise of social media. Her obsession with controlling Paul's creative output and shaping his work to her liking echoes the demands fans sometimes place on creators today and the entitlement and anger that can arise when fans feel a creator has betrayed their vision. The film's exploration of this dynamic remains unnervingly relevant, making it more than just a Halloween thrill but a commentary on the power dynamics between fans and artists.Watching Misery today, it's remarkable how well it holds up and how fresh and frightening it feels. Stephen King adaptations have always been hit or miss, but Misery succeeds because it strikes at something deeply primal—the fear of being controlled, trapped, and hurt by someone who professes to love you. It's a horror story not of monsters or demons but of a real human capacity for cruelty. As a Halloween viewing, Misery offers horror in a way that is less about jump scares and more about slowly building dread, a psychological unspooling that lingers long after the credits roll.In the realm of horror movies, Misery stands out as a true classic, one that doesn't need blood-soaked scenes or supernatural elements to scare its audience. Instead, it relies on masterful performances, tight storytelling, and universal fear of entrapment to create an atmosphere of relentless terror. This Halloween, for those who crave a horror experience that's as intelligent as it is frightening, Stephen King's Misery (1990) is essential viewing. Grab a blanket, dim the lights, and prepare for an unforgettable ride into the dark depths of fandom gone wrong.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcasthttps://www.borntowatch.com.au/

Buckle up, because we're heading back to 1974 and diving into two cinematic sinkholes of desperation, debauchery, and… digging for dead bodies? For Episode 40, Brad's thrown Jake into the grimy, gambling purgatory of "The Gambler," while Jake's plunged Brad into the blood-soaked, tequila-fueled odyssey of "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia." First up, Brad's wrestled with James Caan's Axel Freed, a down on his luck teacher in pursuit of one last roll of the dice. Brace yourselves for existential despair, smoky backrooms, and enough high-stakes wagers to make you sweat through your earbuds. Meanwhile, Jake's been grappling with Sam Peckinpah's magnum opus of chaos, "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia." Warren Oates stars as Bennie, a hapless pianist dragged into a grotesque quest for a severed head and a hefty payday. Expect sun-baked highways and more moral ambiguity than a Tijuana back alley. Did Jake find solace in Caan's self-destructive symphony? Did Brad endure the psychedelic fever dream that is "Alfredo Garcia?" And will anyone emerge from this episode with their sanity intact? Tune in, but remember that when it comes to 1974, the only guarantee is that things are gonna get messy. So grab your whiskey, your existential dread, and your metaphorical shovels, because we're about to dig up some classic cinema dirt.

Shat the Movies: 80's & 90's Best Film Review

Shat The Movies has dabbled in films from the 1970s, but we've never reached back this far. More than 50 years ago, a Francis Ford Coppola epic changed the way America viewed organized crime and set a new standard for storytelling. This is "The Godfather." And who better to commission this film about family than an Italian-American listener from New Jersey with fond memories of sharing mob movies with his dad? For Matt "Don Chachi" Ciampi, the Shat Crew pays its respects to Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Diane Keaton, Robert Duvall, Abe Vigoda and, yes, even Talia Shire. Shat The Movies editor Rob joins Gene and Dick as they debate "The Godfather" pacing, dissect the wedding scene and give props to Don Corleone's cat. Gene explains why Tom Hagen is an absolute badass, while Big D finds heroes in Michael and Vito Corleone. And Rob praises the genius of the dinner scene.  This movie is full of morality questions, and the Shat Crew gets into them: Was Michael a jerk for marrying Apollonia? Were the killings personal or just business? Should Vito have been more generous? Is Michael a villain? And, naturally, could "The Godfather" have been better without all the nepotism?  This is a big one, and we hope you enjoy it. Here's "The Godfather."

Bad Dads Film Review

Seemingly emerging with many of his career trademarks already on display, THIEF (1981) is writer and director Michael Mann's film debut and features the auteur's usual meticulous attention to detail and commitment to realism in this terrific crime revenge thriller. When strictly freelance diamond heist expert Frank's fence meets an untimely demise he is forced into a meeting with mafia boss Leo (Robert Prosky), who persuades him to undertake one last, lucrative job. Somehow feeling fresh despite the familiar tropes (even for the time),  Mann hired ex-con John Santucci as a consultant to help bring a level of authenticity to the events of the movie which is never more evident than in the  film's opening scenes, where Caan was specifically trained how to crack a safe. After THE GODFATHER, James Caan rates this as containing some of his finest work, especially an intimate conversation in a diner scene with romantic co-lead Jessie (the incredibly named Tuesday Weld) as they share their twisted version of the American Dream. Frank is an unrepentant recidivist but is sympathetic in his own way and his strong code is at odds with the fantastically assembled cast of amoral bad guys - many making their debut including GREMLINS 2 THE NEW BATCH's Prosky - who seem like almost genial and very ordinary middle-aged men until they are suddenly terrifying and dangling you over a vat of acid. We love to hear from our listeners!

I have to admit it, I was surprisingly moved by listening to What a Feeling, while mixing the show. I found it really strange to hear something that I'd heard so many times associated with true emotion rather than mocked for being ubiquitous or silly (even if it might actually be both).  As always, I'd encourage you to spend a few minutes listening to the entire song either before or after you listen to the episode (or even both).As Emira mentioned, she is a writer in addition to being a lawyer. Her essays can be found on her blog Montreal Murmurs  or in the pieces she wrote as the the CBC/Quebec Writers' Federation Writer in residence.  Her work has also appeared in The Montreal Gazette  and  The Globe and Mail.  Emira's storytelling has also been featured at a Montreal Confabulation show that you can listen to here. Check out her stuff!Make sure you follow The Volume Knob on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or at our website volumeknob.net.And if you have a story about the song that saved your life be sure to send it to me at volumeknobpod@gmail.com.

Missing Frames: Catching up with Cinema

This week Shea Weekley, a first-time Missing Framer, joins Shawn for their first viewing of Michael Mann's debut feature Thief starring James Caan. Along with their thoughts on the film and whether it holds up to its classic status, Shawn and Shea discuss whether Mann's unique, rain-drenched, steel blue vision was clear from his debut and how Caan's performance is the glue that holds the story together.HOSTSShawn EastridgeShea Weekley

Elf is directed by Jon Favreau and he did a great job guiding a cast to cheer and jubulation. It's a well balanced film that I would consider a modern Christmas film and at this point it is a classic. Listen to me talking about the team between James Caan and Will Ferrell, how develop from each other, how music embodies Christmas, and how to relates to certain people who think they got it all but if family ain't there, you got nothing.#morningreel #elf #willferrell

Our third In Memoriam installment features James Caan. We've done Elf already, so we stick with another somewhat underrated choice, Honeymoon in Vegas. This has been a longtime favorite for Pete and Brad and Caan's performance opposite Nicolas Cage is a big reason why.  Also starring Sarah Jessica Parker, and featuring roles by Pat Morita, Peter Boyle, Tony Shalhoub, and a young Bruno Mars, it's a star-studded affair. Listen to hear if it still holds up or if we felt like jumping out of a plane. Then stick around for our lists of Love Triangle movies. With Vegas and Indecent Proposal, these types of movies were all the rage in the early 90's. What else makes our lists?

So, as well as picking Eddie's brains for tales of editing Maverick and getting the odd tip or ten, he joins us to tackle this week's listener question (about the best fourth instalments in film franchises), and discuss the week's movie news (this episode was recorded before news broke of James Caan's death; we'll discuss the legendary Mr. Caan next week), and we think you'll agree that he's a most welcome addition to the team. Elsewhere, the team review Thor: Love And Thunder, and Brian And Charles, and Chris has an audience with the wonderful Jenny Agutter, star of next week's sequel, The Railway Children Return. The two of them talk about that, and about some of the milestones in her incredible career, including An American Werewolf In London, her cameo in Darkman and, of course, her appearances in the MCU.

This week's Nose wants Sollozzo. If not, it's all out war. James Caan was nominated for an Academy Award for playing Sonny in The Godfather. Early in his career, he worked with Billy Wilder and Howard Hawks and Olivia de Havilland, and he went on to star in movies like Brian's Song, The Gambler, Freebie and the Bean, Funny Lady, Rollerball, Thief, Misery, and Elf. Caan died on Wednesday. He was 82. And: The Old Man is a spy thiller series on FX based on the 2017 novel by Thomas Perry. It stars Jeff Bridges, John Lithgow, Alia Shawkat, and Amy Brenneman.
