In this week's episode, we dive headlong into the gaunt, gaslit nightmare that is The Machinist, a movie where the only thing thinner than Christian Bale is the barrier between reality and total psychological collapse. We kick things off with some grim chuckles about the film's aesthetic—equal parts industrial horror and post-breakup insomnia—and then tumble straight into the spiraling paranoia that defines Bale's haunting performance. This one's less about plot and more about vibes, and the vibes are deeply unsettling. But don't worry, the chaos crew is still here to shine a very weird, very bright flashlight on every dark corner. There's toe-thumbs, workplace OSHA violations, and a subplot about a possibly demonic airport pie waitress who may or may not exist. We also take a detour into the spiritual power of morning farts, the economics of early 2000s egg prices, and whether Michael Ironside could crush a man with a single look (spoiler: he absolutely could). So what happens when guilt goes unspoken, and why exactly did Christian Bale think “apple and a can of tuna” was a personality trait? It's a weirdly sincere episode for such a bleak movie. You might wince, but you'll be laughing while you do it. So is The Machinist rewatchable? Probably not. But is it a worthwhile watch the first time around? Absolutely. Come for the body horror, stay for the philosophical breakdowns and unhinged rants about lighters in 2004 trucks. And if you're ready for a tonal whiplash, buckle up—next time it's full throttle into Mad Max territory. Let's ride. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361862/
Dopo la devastante 3° guerra mondiale, l'umanità ha creato una società distopica nella quale ogni sentimento è assolutamente bandito.Un corpo speciale di milizia, denominato Cleric, è incaricato di scovare e distruggere qualsiasi forma d'arte residua e spazzare via la resistenza, che vorrebbe mantenere vive le emozioni dell'essere umano, in un mondo ormai asettico e glaciale.Preston è il migliore dei Cleric, ma un incidente lo porterà a riscoprire le emozioni che aveva perduto da tempo, ritrovando quindi la consapevolezza di vivere in un sistema violento e sbagliato. Deciderà di unirsi alla resistenza, per sovvertire la dittatura del "Padre".Christian Bale in grande forma, per una pellicola fantascientifica ottimamente realizzata, che strizza l'occhio alle atmosfere di Matrixiana memoria. Bellissimo il concetto rappresentato di Kata della pistola e molto ben rappresentato il ritorno dei colori, con il risvegliarsi delle emozioni umane.Un film andato a scomparire, che invece cattura per il contesto, la storia, le pazzesche scene d'azione.Sean Bean, come sempre, va lungo...

Bruce Wayne has everything: money, abs, and a crippling fear of bats. Naturally, he copes by burning down monasteries and punching crime in the face. In this installment of our series on the films of Christopher Nolan, we revisit Batman Begins, the moody reboot that asked: What if we make an existential Batman movie? We get into daddy issues, weaponized fear, and the real villain of Gotham—urban planning. Also: yes, Christian Bale's voice gets gravelly real fast.

Welkom bij Nerd Culture episode #209 – dé meest nerdy podcast in de multiverse. Deze week duiken we diep in Andor seizoen 2, dat traag begint maar uiteindelijk keihard levert. We bespreken wat deze serie zo bijzonder maakt en waarom Star Wars hier de spijker op z'n kop slaat. Verder hebben we het over Tom Cruise, die tijdens Cannes niets loslaat over de toekomst van Mission: Impossible, en laat Scarlett Johansson haar frustratie blijken over het Oscar-succes dat Avengers: Endgame nooit kreeg. Zoals altijd: hot takes, nostalgie én veel te veel meningen.Andor Season 2 Review: "Het wachten waard"Het tweede seizoen van Andor begint stroef, maar weet gaandeweg indrukwekkend te verrassen. Vooral vanaf aflevering 7 komt de serie echt op gang – met afleveringen 8 t/m 12 als absoluut hoogtepunt. De opbouw is traag, maar loont: plotlijnen vallen op hun plek, personages krijgen diepgang en de cinematografie is van hoog niveau. In deze aflevering van Nerd Culture duiken we diep in waarom Andor misschien wel de beste Star Wars-serie tot nu toe is – ondanks die moeizame start.Tom Cruise houdt z'n lippen stijf op elkaar over Mission Impossible's toekomstTijdens een masterclass op het filmfestival van Cannes lieten Tom Cruise en regisseur Christopher McQuarrie weinig los over de toekomst van Mission: Impossible, ondanks geruchten dat The Final Reckoning Ethan Hunts laatste missie zou zijn. Cruise benadrukte vooral dat het publiek de film gewoon moet ervaren en genieten. Het duo sprak verder over hun creatieve samenwerking, hun liefde voor ouderwets filmmaken en het belang van de bioscoopervaring, waarbij McQuarrie streamingplatforms bekritiseerde. Uiteraard kwamen ook stunts ter sprake, met Cruise die wederom zijn grenzen verlegt. Of dit echt het einde is? Cruise ontwijkt het antwoord – maar de rit wordt in elk geval spectaculair.Onbegrijpelijk dat Avengers: Endgame geen Oscar heeft gewonnenScarlett Johansson uit in een interview met Vanity Fair haar frustratie over het feit dat Avengers: Endgame geen Oscar-nominatie kreeg, ondanks het wereldwijde succes en de emotionele impact van de film. Volgens haar is het “een onmogelijke film die wél werkt” en had het epische slotstuk erkenning verdiend. Hoewel Marvel-films technisch vaak genomineerd worden, blijft een nominatie voor Beste Film zeldzaam. Johansson bevestigde daarnaast dat ze definitief klaar is met de MCU, hoezeer ze haar collega's ook mist. Ze vindt dat het verhaal van Black Widow afgerond is – en dat moet volgens haar ook zo blijven, uit respect voor de fans.Timestamps:00:01:00 Andor00:15:26 Bad Friends00:21:49 The Bourne Identity00:27:40 F1 The Movie Trailer00:31:08 Tom Cruise teased mogelijke komst van Top Gun 300:35:47 Tom Cruise wil niet ingaan op de toekomst van Mission Impossible00:39:15 En hij wil dat nieuwe acteurs ook bepaalde film technieken leren/kennen00:47:25 Een eerste blik op Nicolas Cage en Christian Bale in Madden00:49:57 Gears of War film heeft zijn regisseur gevonden00:51:53 Superman Trailer00:56:11 James Gunn past Superman trailer aan na fan feedback00:58:04 Leia cameo in Andor uiteindelijk geschrapt00:59:44 Letterboxd gaat een TV on Demand service lanceren “Video Store” op Cannes01:02:40 Ironheart Trailer01:05:50 Robert Downey Jr op de set van Avengers: Doomsday01:09:06 Scarlett Johansson: “Onbegrijpelijk dat Endgame geen Oscar heeft gewonnen”01:11:10 Scarlett Johansson: “De opnames van Avengers voelde ‘niet cool'”01:13:28 Avengers Doomsday reveal meest bekeken Marvel livestream ooit01:14:17 Disney veel nieuwe subs door Moana 2, Mufasa ennn Daredevil01:17:47 Ballerina Trailer

The temps are rising and this episode is bringing the heat! The public voted on the title of this spicy double feature episode about chiseled bad boys and we have a tie: Horror Hunks and Sexy Psychos! Longtime friend, fellow horror movie lover, and muscle enthusiast Katie Bruno returns to the show to drool with Mark over Christian Bale and his carefully placed chainsaw and Ryan Reynolds wearing breathtakingly low pajama pants. Blood, sweat, abs, oh my! It's the 25th anniversary of American Psycho and the 20th anniversary of The Amityville Horror remake, so grab the axe - no, not the body spray - and slay us!
In this week's episode of The Decision Reel, we dive axe-first into the bloody brilliance of American Psycho! Steve, Wally, Tara and special guest Reid dissect the cult classic that gave us business cards, chainsaws, and the unforgettable performance of Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman. This one's a bit longer than usual — but trust us, it's worth every minute. From 80s pop music to the film's biting satire and iconic quotes, we go deep into what makes American Psycho a twistedly genius ride through the mind of a very well-dressed madman. So put on your raincoat, turn up the Huey Lewis, and press play on a killer conversation.
Welcome back to The Movie Draft House! We're continuing along with our year-long theme of "one degree of separation" where each weeks' film has to have some connection to the previous week's film.

In 2005, filmmaker Christopher Nolan was about to become mainstream with the first movie in his superhero trilogy. Meanwhile, a group of developers in Derby were working on a video game tie-in for said movie that wouldn't turn out to be quite as popular. We're taking a look at an action adventure game that was neither a precursor to a game based on The Dark Knight, nor The Dark Knight Returns. We're talking Batman Begins.On this episode of Stealth Boom Boom, we chat a little bit about trailers that feature Batman smiling, Trailer Voice Man, and Phoenix International. We also look at how important it was for this to be an interactive version of the movie in almost every way, as well as a cavalcade of celebs: a disinterested Morgan Freeman, a bloodthirsty Cillian Murphy, anbemused Michael Caine, and a Christian Bale that thinks all this video game stuff is a complete waste of time.Here are some of the things you're gonna hear us chat about in our review: the first glimpses of many things that would become staples in the Arkham games; instilling fear in your enemies by interacting with very specific parts of the environment; goons dropping their guns when they're scared; the optic cable from Splinter Cell; an exceptionally violent inverted takedown; familiar punching and kicking, as performed by a more acrobatic, yet less fluid Batman; the weird context-sensitive special move thing; NO BATARANG BUSINESS; climbing things with 70% arm and 30% leg; bonus Game Boy Advance opinions; a lack of yellow paint; training in the Himalayas; driving the tumbler around Gotham like it's a Burnout game; dingy rooms illuminated by beams of light coming through blinds; restrictions vs limitations; being rewarded(?) with clips from the film in between levels; odd differences in the narrative; Gary Oldman's absence; and a lockpicking minigame that's the same every single time.After all that, we take you through what some of the critics were saying about the game around the time it came out, and then we give you our final verdicts on whether Batman Begins is a Pass, a Play, or an Espionage Explosion.For those who would like to play along at home, we'll be discussing, reviewing and dissecting Deus Ex on the next episode of Stealth Boom Boom.IMPORTANT LINKS TO THINGS
Saddle up—it's Book Club Month on So Many Sequels, and this week, we're diving into Elmore Leonard's gritty Western adaptation, 3:10 to Yuma (2007). Featuring powerhouse performances from Christian Bale and Russell Crowe, this film offers more than gunfights—it's a tense exploration of honor, fatherhood, and redemption.We explore the film's themes of masculinity in crisis, the dynamic between Dan Evans and Ben Wade, and the surprising emotional core at the heart of this modern Western. Is this one of the best genre remakes of the 2000s? Does the short story adaptation expand or stretch too far? And how does the ending compare to Leonard's original vision?Whether you're a Western fan or a curious newcomer, this one's worth the ride.

Dana and Tom with returning guest, VP Morris (Award-winning thriller and horror writer and podcaster; vpmorris.com, @teawriterepeat on IG and X, The Dead Letters Podcast) discuss American Psycho (2000) for its 25th Anniversary: written and directed by Mary Harron with Guinivere Turner, cinematography by Andrzej Sekuła, music by John Cale, starring Christian Bale, Justin Theroux, Josh Lucas, Willem Dafoe, Jared Leto, Reese Witherspoon, and Chloe Sevigny.Plot Summary: American Psycho follows Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale), a wealthy and successful New York investment banker in the 1980s, whose polished and charming exterior hides a chilling secret: he's a violent, unhinged killer. As his grip on reality begins to fray, the story delves into themes of consumerism, identity, and moral decay, leaving us questioning what is real and what exists only in his fractured mind.Guest:VP MorrisAward-winning thriller and horror writer and podcaster;vpmorris.com, @teawriterepeat on IG and X, The Dead Letters Podcast;Previously on Scream (1996), The Shining (1980), and Rear Window (1954)Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction02:21 Casting and Background for American Psycho04:13 Relationship(s) with American Psycho06:57 Dad, Did You Like the Film?13:43 What is American Psycho About?25:51 Plot Summary for American Psycho26:29 Did You Know?28:52 First Break29:35 What's Happening with VP Morris?31:30 Best Performance(s)39:43 Best/Favorite/Indelible Scene(s)49:36 Second Break50:14 In Memoriam53:34 Best/Funniest Lines59:14 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy01:07:05 The Stanley Rubric - Impact/Significance01:13:21 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty01:17:25 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness01:22:12 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability01:26:41 The Stanley Rubric - Audience Score and Final Total01:27:28 Further Discourse01:36:37 Remaining Questions for American Psycho01:53:36 A Thank You to VP Morris and Final Thoughts01:56:36 CreditsYou can also find this episode in full video on YouTube.You can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast).For more on the...

We welcome Hal (@shestructured on Letterboxd) and Craig (@gentlemanbaby on Letterboxd) from the Red Rose Film Club podcast to cover American Psycho (2000), the Wall Street horror/comedy starring Christian Bale as Patrick "Jason" Bateman. This movie's got a lot going on, folks. And we get to it all—we determine who has the best business card, we explain why you wouldn't want Christian Bale as your co-worker at Whataburger, we try to figure out what's going on with Justin Theroux's hair, and we marvel at Patrick Bateman's chainsaw math. Also, is American Psycho Jared Leto's villain origin story? But more than anything, we're trying to identify what exactly Patrick Bateman represents. Is he the embodiment of toxic masculinity? A victim of America's addiction to competition and consumption above all else? A misunderstood baby boy? An iconic slasher villain? What if our answer was…. Yes? Next week: We are the nation's top fun-havers, so we're taking the week off for Spring Break.

Producer Todd Lieberman, founder of production company Hidden Pictures, recounts the making of one of the most iconic and lauded boxing movies of all time. It had been a dream of Todd's to make a boxing movie, and he knew The Fighter was the one as soon as it came across his desk, but the process from script to screen wasn't an easy one. There were multiple cast and director changes, and the original studio pulled out of the project. But the challenges were blessings in disguise as they allowed director David O. Russell the freedom to bring his trademark dark humor to the film, and actors Christian Bale, Mark Wahlberg, Melissa Leo, and Amy Adams to fully embody their characters. Hosted on Acast.

The week on the show, we welcome back our music sponsor and artist in residence, DASEIN, using John's crap audio to discuss Spielberg's 2nd of 4 (at least) WWII epics, “Empire of The Sun.” The random year generator spun 1987, a year we visited to discuss Bertolucci's “The Last Emperor”, but we still gave you some set-up of what was happening around the world to add context to why in the hell two movies about empires set in China were two of the biggest movies of 1987. Dave also opens the show discussing Bong Joon Ho's “Mickey 17” in a mini-review where he states whether this movie can hang with previous episode features “Parasite” and “Memories of Murder”.
