Podcast appearances and mentions of Charles Durning

This week, we're busting out the slammer and potentially wishing we were back in it depending on who you ask, as we team up with the canary-clad copper to take down a star-studded mob in a wildly stylish and outlandishly conceived blockbuster starring a charming old man incapable of doing action scenes, that's been seemingly buried in the Disney vault in the years since. It's 1990's Dick Tracy, directed and produced by Warren Beatty, and starring Beatty, Madonna, Al Pacino, Glenne Headly, Charlie Korsmo, Mandy Patinkin, Dustin Hoffman, Seymour Cassel, William Forsythe, Charles Durning, Dick Van Dyke, Paul Sorvino, James Caan, Kathy Bates and Catherine O'Hara. Most of these stars are unrecognizeable under the monstrous makeup required to make them look like their vintage crime comic strip counterparts, but Pacino made enough of an impression with a wildly comedic take on his typical mobster persona that he netted an Oscar nom for Best Supporting Actor, losing to Joe Pesci for GoodFellas. While Beatty is at least a decade too old to be proper fit as the movie's lead, it's his ambition behind the camera that makes the movie such a curiosity all these years later, as the film is either an enchanting dreamscape filled with unsolvable How Did They Do That movie magic puzzles, or a steaming pile of neon-drenched puke depending on which of our two hosts you ask. But that's okay, as we have some heated disagreement this week that is maybe the closest we've yet come to vintage Siskel & Ebert kinda stuff. Plus: We've both been to the theater and are happy to sound off on Ryan Coogler's latest as JMo and Hayley both greatly enjoyed Sinners in the cinema, and Justin's got a bonus theatrical field report on Drop, the latest from Happy Death Day director Christopher Landon. If you'd like to watch Dick Tracy before listening along to our conversation, good luck finding a physical copy, and Disney will seemingly never stream this thing on Disney+ -- possibly for rights reasons to avoid paying anything more to Warren Beatty, or possibly because they are cowards who are ashamed of the fun movie they made. Either way, it's tough to find outside of renting it on YouTube. Other works discussed in this episode include Creed, Fruitvale Station, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, Mad Max: Fury Road, Loki, The Accountant, The Perfect Storm, Bridge of Spies, War Horse, The Adventures of Tintin, Red Eye, Trap, Reign of Fire, Surrogates, The Expendables 2, The Last Boy Scout, Princess Mononoke, Hook, This Is The Tom Green Documentary, Cutthroat Island, Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, G20, The Silence of the Lambs, Longlegs, Resident Orca, Avatar: The Way of Water, Blackfish, Batman ('89), Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman & Robin, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, X-Men, Blade, The Shadow, The Phantom, The Rocketeer, Darkman, Speed Racer, Furiosa, Challengers and Sin City, among others. We'll be back (more than likely) next week, with another special in-theaters spectacular, as 100+ episodes after we covered the original film, it is tax season once again and we're back for more Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal in The Accountant 2. So look for that next Friday, and until then we'll see you at the movies!!

This Week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Daniel back on the show as we discuss the 1985 comedy (?), The Man with One Red Shoe.  Tom Hanks, Dabney Coleman, Charles Durning.  What could go wrong.  This.   This could go wrong.  This movie is supposed to be a comedy, but it has few laughs.  It's supposed to be spy thriller, but has no thrills and the spies are all generic garbage.  We always have fun discussing these movies, even the bad ones, but this one kind of left us all feeling empty.   We still laughed, but maybe not how the creators of this movie wanted us to.  Enjoy the podcast.

EPISODE 71 - “STEVE & NAN's FAVORITE CLASSIC FILMS OF THE 1970s” - 1/20/2024 The 1970s was a decade that saw the rise of the auteur.

Front Row Classics is taking a look at one of the most beloved comedies in film history. Brandon is joined by Christian Keys to celebrate 1982's Tootsie. Christian is Associate Producer for One Day to Love, a podcast hosted by actress Tonja Walker. He also happens to be a classic film aficionado. Brandon and Christian discuss how the film remains both fresh & funny as well as a time capsule of the early 80s. They praise the direction of Sydney Pollack and performances by the great ensemble cast including Dustin Hoffman, Jessica Lange, Bill Murray, Dabney Coleman and Charles Durning. We take the time to also pay tribute to the late Teri Garr.

Well it's that time of year again, no we aren't talking about post general election hangover, we are referring to that annual culinary and quintessentially American Bacchanalia where we stuff ourselves to the gills with too many carbs, too much gravy, and bad football (the American variety).Yes kids, it's Thanksgiving. This little tale written by Chris Radant, and brought to the screen by Jodie Foster as her second work as director, is one of two films we'll cover in November that are Turkey Day-centric. Featuring lovely performances by an ensemble cast:Charles Durning, legendary Anne Bancroft, Robert Downey Jr., Geraldine Chaplin —with great supporting performances by Steve Guttenberg, and at the time, somewhat “new faces” Dylan McDermott and David Strathairn. The film is a great amuse-bouche to prepare our listeners for the unavoidable annoyances, absurdities, and grievances served alongside the turkey. While we can't always pick our family, we can certainly choose how, and to what extent we get sucked up into the madness at the dinner table. Take what dishes appeal to you (feed the rest to the dog). Sam and I offer our strategies for survival at the end of the episode, or as the saying goes in the film,“just float” —and don't forget to pass the gravy.

Oggi ti parlerò di un film THE STING. La Stangata; è un film del 1973, diretto da George Roy Hill,   con Paul Newman e Robert Redford, vincitore di 7 premi Oscar tra cui quello al miglior film. Secondo film in cui Paul Newman e Robert Redford recitano insieme, è anche la seconda volta che vengono diretti da George Roy Hill e sempre portando ottimi incassi (il film precedente era stato Butch Cassidy, del 1969). Questo film si rivelò un grande successo sia grazie al cast ricco di attori e di caratteristi talentuosi come Charles Durning, sia grazie al regista che, con una commedia ricca di colpi di scena e abili incastri narrativi, riuscì a vincere sette premi Oscar, sia grazie alla colonna sonora, costituita da una serie di celebri ragtime rielaborati da Marvin Hamlisch. Con la partecipazione di: Lucia Pareti (Curiosità), Fernanda Cherubini (Cast), Giulio Tiezzi (Critica), Marco Pieroni (Trama), Mariangela Ungaro (Musiche), Bruna Iacopino (Copertine).

Kerry and Collin are joined by Cinema Femme's founder Rebecca Martin Fagerholm to talk about Jodie Foster's ensemble comedy "Home For The Holidays," starring Holly Hunter, Robert Downey, Jr., Anne Bancroft, Charles Durning, Cynthia Stevenson, Dylan McDermott, Geraldine Chaplin and Steve Guttenberg (wow!). Of all the holiday movies in the Family-Gathers-Together-For-The-Holidays sub-genre, this one gets it so, so right above many others. Why does Collin hold it in such high regard? How did Downey's behavior and antics effect the overall outcome of the film? How much food was cooked for the Thanksgiving scene and what happened to all of it. All this, plus Collin talks about the latest and greatest in physical media for the Blu-ray Gift Exchange.  Blu-ray movies covered: Sony: "American Movie" 4K (1999) Warner Bros: "The Hitcher" 4K (1986) Criterion: "Pandora's Box" (1929) "Demon Pond" (1979) Val Lewton Double Feature: "I Walked With A Zombie" and "The Seventh Victim" (1943) Warner Archive: "The Prairie Home Companion" (2006) "Bathing Beauty" (1944) "Journey Into Fear" (1943) Universal: "Touch" (2024)

Oh my god, don't answer the phone! Or maybe you should? Well, we found out what happens "When A Stranger Calls Back" and it's not good! And also it's not the same stranger. New teenager. New scary guy. Same Carol Kane and Charles Durning. Is this the scariest movie Jason has ever seen? Did Jules see this as a kid and check corners of his house with a bat cause that dude could be there? I guess you'll have to find out in this here episode of We Doing Spookies.

We really screwed up watching the sequel first. Here's a whole movie about a babysitter getting scary phone calls. Just 90 mins of heavy breathing. Just kidding, we were both shocked when, much like the 2nd film, it is a completely different movie after the first 20 minutes and we were fully on board with Charles Durning getting his detective on. WHY IS THIS NOT A CLASSIC ON THE LEVEL OF OTHER CLASSIC SPOOKIES?!?!? Rate, review (you can pick a movie for us to cover if you do an apple podcast review) subscribe and dive into the back catalog.

Let's review some more 70's movies now!
Today we start with 
 #1(Bloody Town Hall 1979) This documentary filmed in 1971 was a labor of love to edit and get it released by 79. This is a bloody mess that at least I found super interesting. BTH captures an important time, by way of an extremely odd event in NYC where Feminists take on Douchey Norman Mailer, a whole lotta chaos, and someone filmed it. NYC Gay Liberation Front members can be seen here for brief cameo. Other writers here of note are Germaine Greer, Diana Trilling, Jill Johnston, and Betty Friedman, to name a few.
#2 is (Johnny got his gun 1971). This book was read by anyone in high school who had a Vet for an English teacher. Author and director here was famous blacklisted writer Dalton Trumbo, they made a bio pic about him with the meth making chemistry teacher from Breaking Bad. This films good and trippy, also extremely heavy and sad, also also METALLICA (listen to the song One for the plot). We love Donald Sutherland and he had just passed at the time of recording so we are slowly goin through the few DS films that we haven't already reviewed or showcased. Timothy Bottoms, Kathy Fields, and massive character actor Peter Brocco are here, along with the guy who became a tree in Mr. Sycamore. 
#3 (Badlands 1973) Ok this ones arty. The Dad of the guy from Platoon, and Carrie from Carrie star here. Carrie is groomed by the Apocalypse now guy to be with him and watch him play macho militia survivalist dude, after killing her father. 
#4 (Last American Hero 1973)Before he owned a video arcade in Tron, the guy from King Kong who loves magic was a moonshiner turned Southern hick nascar racer. Gary Busey helps him here, as well as Geraldine Fitzgerald, Valerie Perrrine, and Ned Beatty.
#5 (Cassanova 1976) Donald Sutherland has Mr. Burns in the Simpson's Dracula parody hair here. Director here is the one and only Federico Fellini, and if you wanna read something funny, go to IMDB and check out his biography, unless someone changes it, it is one one the weirdest mini bio's I have ever read. Film looks stunning, but is it good? Well, our hot takes are ready. 
#6 (north Dallas forty 1979) This film experienced some real big problems taking on Big Sports. It's foolish to think that it wouldn't be the same as taking on the mob or the government. This is based on a book from someone who was in it Peter Gent. I was bullied by jocks and organized sports fans as far back as I can remember. I seem to be missing the gene to enjoy pretending I play a role sporting events. I digress, because I could watch a movie about sports or a show about sports if it's good, and this is good. Nick Nolte, and Charles Durning are here, as well as the director of First Blood, where John Jay Rambo was once in charge of million dollar equipment and now he can't even get a job parking cars. Finally today we review another made for TV movie gem called
 #7(The 5.20 an hour dream 1980) Alice from the hit TV show Alice is here and very good as Ellen a rad Mom who needs her car repaired and takes on patriarchy in the factory. Can these butts allow her to do a job she can do even though she is not a man? 
As always thanks for listening and please give us the stars and a review, it can help peeps find the pod.

Send us a Text Message.What happens when you combine "Mad Max" with roller-skating orphans and a dash of Mel Brooks' production magic? You get the 1986 cult classic "Solar Babies," a movie so bizarre it had us questioning everything from the logic of "skateball" to the mystifyingly named characters. We kick off this roller-coaster critique with some laughs about a painful hike and sunburns, setting the stage for our deep dive into the chaotic creation and puzzling narrative of this curious film. It's a blend of missed opportunities and hilarious missteps, all set in a world where misfit kids try to escape their captors through the power of... roller skates?In our detailed breakdown, we examine the lack of character development, the strange setting of an orphanage filled with amnesiac kids, and Jason Patrick's inexplicable awkwardness in a rain scene. We even explore the potential of "skateball" as a sport and the baffling setting of Tire Town. From the bridge crossing and Chikani camp attack to the magical elements and characters like "Darstar," we leave no stone unturned as we humorously critique these scenes. Mel Brooks' involvement and the film's many chaotic elements spark a lively discussion on what could have been if only the movie had a coherent vision.Finally, we take on the film's confusing themes and unresolved questions. Why does Jason Patrick struggle to experience joy? What's the deal with Charles Durning's role as the warden? And how did a movie with such a promising concept end up so scattered and nonsensical? We also share thoughts on other sci-fi movies and our plans to revisit the classic "Rollerball." Join us for a fun, entertaining, and sometimes baffling critique of "Solar Babies," a film that's as unique as it is perplexing.Written lovingly with AIBe our friend!Dan: @shakybaconTony: @tonydczechAnd follow the podcast on IG: @hatewatchingDAT

There comes a time when we are all tested to our very core. Paul, Javi and — unflappably — Producer Brad all thought that time had come six weeks ago with Grease 2. They were wrong; that time is now. Our faithful co-hosts face their darkest hour as they descend into the dungeon of despair that is The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, a film that makes Grease 2 look (and sound) like Singin' in the Rain. Not even the divine gift of Dolly Parton can save this torturous endeavor, which somehow renders Burt Reynolds abrasively charmless.  Join us as we brave our most treacherous moviegoing challenge yet, and are surreally surprised to discover one startling scene of sci-fi (seriously!), and one spellbinding song of sublimity. Along the way, Paul (our resident Texan) will pierce his PTSD with some injections of insight contextualizing the film's real world roots. Trust us, you never want to see this movie, but you definitely want to listen to this episode.
