Earlier this week I shared part 1 of my conversation with Hollywood icon Steve Papazian. He is the former President of Worldwide Physical Production at Warner Bros. That chat was recorded back in April of 2019 and chronicles his rise from the mailroom to The Matrix. If you missed part one, I highly recommend you hit pause and go check that out. To refresh your memory, he started in the mailroom and rose the ranks over the course of almost 50 years at Warner Brothers at Universal. YEARS! His impressive filmography includes some of cinema's most defining moments: The Matrix, The Hobbit trilogy, and the Harry Potter films. He's been the trusted production partner for visionaries like Clint Eastwood and Christopher Nolan across multiple projects, helping bring their creative visions to life on an unprecedented scale. After witnessing the seismic shifts that have rocked our industry—from studio consolidations to the exodus of productions from California—I knew I had to reconnect with Steve for an unfiltered conversation about what we've lost and whether there's still time to save Hollywood. So today, we dive into the Death of the Star-Making Machine Hollywood, how California's Policy Failures are not setting us up for success, and why the Solution Requires Going Back to Basics.
Our road to fifty episodes continues with a personal favorite of Corey's - Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins! Listen up as the 'AnotherLook' dynamic duo discusses the reinvention of its caped crusader, Nolan's transition from puzzle-box filmmaker to blockbuster champion, and much more.
MUSIC The Muny opened its 107th season this week with Bring It On: The Musical, which stars Kennedy Holmes, a Florissant native who rose to fame on NBC's The Voice in 2018, where she finished as a finalist in fourth place. This new season opened despite the tornadoes that Forest Park endured, where a tree crushed the venue's pre-show stage, and luckily No major structural harm was reported, and thanks to an enormous citywide effort, opening night never had to be postponed. For the first time ever, three of the Beatles' offspring have collaborated on a song. Sean Lennon, James McCartney, and Zak Starkey posted part of their song, "Rip Off". From Starkey's band Mantra of the Cosmos titled "Rip Off" featuring Paul McCartney's son James and John Lennon's son Sean on vocals. TV Eric Dane from "Grey's Anatomy" sat for an interview with Diane Sawyer to discuss his battle with ALS . . . also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

Martha Stewart recently rescued three orphaned squirrels. “They were inside a fallen tree,” Stewart said of how she discovered them.

In 2013, she had to go to court with a neighbor who wasn't cool with the two that she had on her property. She said, quote, "They're loyal, they're big, they're completely socialized, they're licensed, they're legal for me to have them, and I love them!"2. Kirstie Alley: Before she died, she owned 14 lemurs . . . which she fell in love with while doing conservation work in Madagascar.3. Salma Hayek: She adopted a rescue owl in 2019. Her name is Kering, after a company Salma's husband owns. She says, quote, "[She's often] on my head or my shoulder, my arms. Sometimes, when she is really close to me, I can feel her rubbing against me, which is really nice. And I feel so blessed."4. Paris Hilton: Years ago, she got herself a little rainforest mammal called a kinkajou. She named it Baby Luv. In 2006, she had to get a tetanus shot after it bit her. At one point she actually owned two of them.5. Leonardo DiCaprio: In 2010, he attended the North American Reptile Breeders Conference and Trade Show . . . and left with a 10-year-old tortoise.

Delighted to share a truly remarkable conversation I had back in April 2019 with Steve Papazian - a Hollywood executive whose career spans nearly five decades and reads like a masterclass in entertainment industry evolution. When you look at his filmography, you're looking at some of cinema's most defining moments - The Matrix, The Hobbit trilogy, the Harry Potter films. He's been the trusted production partner for visionaries like Clint Eastwood and Christopher Nolan across multiple projects, helping bring their creative visions to life on an unprecedented scale. Steve takes us inside one of the corporate transformations that shaped modern Hollywood - the Warner Brothers-Lorimar merger, his strategic move to Universal - and reveals the sophisticated decision-making that goes into shepherding these cultural touchstones from concept to screen. Beyond the business acumen, Steve has a deep reverence for the craft itself. He speaks with genuine passion about Hollywood's golden era and offers profound insights into what it means to maintain creative integrity in an industry often driven by competing interests and immense financial pressures. Part two was recorded last week and drops in two days! But first, let me take you back to April 2019 for this essential conversation about what it truly means to be an exceptional producer in Hollywood - and how one builds a legacy that spans generations of filmmaking.
Christopher Nolan. A filmmaker long linked with James Bond. A man who loves his spy movies. A man who's got to the point where he can make pretty much any film he likes. 2020's Tenet remains arguably his most divisive, but talk of the film is also wrapped up in the lockdown year of 2020, and his split from long-term studio partner Warner Bros. We dig into the story here. Then! Gina Gershon is co-starring with John Travolta again in High Rollers, and she joins Simon for a long chat about the film, her career, and how her cat reviews movies. Quite the conversation, this...! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
This year is the 20th anniversary of Batman Begins, the first film of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. Batman Begins intentionally had a much darker and more serious tone than did Batman and Robin, which many critics ridiculed for its campy and humorous tone, a choice that most audiences greatly appreciated.Hosted by Ausha.

This title may look like a typo, but those of you who follow Michael Caine on Twitter X know it's quite deliberate. Danny and Kevin celebrate 20 years (to the day) of Batman Begins by providing a commentary track for this beloved Christopher Nolan film. The duo discuss the impact of this picture and The Dark Knight trilogy on both the superhero genre as well as general blockbuster popcorn films while occasionally referencing how awesome the scene playing at the time of their rambling is. They also ask important questions, like is Katie Holmes really that bad of an actor? Or, what's so special about condensed milk?

For this episode, the latest in our series on the films of Christopher Nolan, we're diving into The Prestige — the movie that proves Nolan can turn two magicians battling it out for “Most Extra” into a work of art. Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale destroy their lives for a trick, but it's the kind of destruction that makes you think, “Maybe I should be that obsessed with something.” We're here to praise Nolan's genius, David Bowie's perfect cameo, and the mind games at play. No, we still don't fully get the ending, but wow — what a ride. Warning: Contains deep admiration for The Prestige's intricate layers, confusing plot twists, and the sheer audacity of its brilliance. ----more---- Thank you so much for listening!

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.

In this week's episode of Born to Watch, we're diving deep, like three layers deep, into Christopher Nolan's reality-bending sci-fi thriller with our Inception (2010) Review. The team celebrates three years of podcasting with one of the most mind-twisting films of the 21st century.It's only fitting that a film about dreams, time loops, and subconscious sabotage kicks off our birthday episode. With a cast that includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Ken Watanabe, this Nolan original has become a modern classic. But is it as smart as it thinks it is? Does the top fall? And how many times do you really need to watch it to understand what the hell is going on?Whitey, G-Man, and Damo don't just scratch the surface, they go full inception mode, breaking down the film's ambitious plot, its dream architecture, and whether Cobb is actually home with his kids or just lost in another layer.From Dreamscapes to DiCaprioWhitey kicks off with his usual gusto, revealing that he saw Inception solo on opening day, classic cinephile move. He hails it as peak Nolan and DiCaprio's most complex role, while G-Man confesses he just watched the movie in full for the first time this week. Damo, meanwhile, delivers the ultimate snob flex: he's seen it three times and still finds new details with each watch.The team breaks down Dom Cobb's fractured psyche, the emotionally rich (and confusing) relationship with Mal, and how Ariadne (played by Elliot (Ellen) Page) is more than just the new recruit; she's the audience surrogate. There's praise for Joseph Gordon-Levitt's gravity-defying hallway fight and Tom Hardy's cheeky charm as dream-forger Eames. Hardy might just be playing his most “normal” character ever.The Nolan EffectFrom the layered timelines to the rules of the dream world, Nolan's script is pure high-concept storytelling. The boys debate the film's exposition-heavy style, with Damo defending it as necessary and Whitey pointing out how cleverly the rules are integrated into dialogue. G-Man admits that the film almost lost him early on, but it eventually clicked.The group agrees that what sets Inception apart isn't just its ambition, it's the balance between visual spectacle and emotional stakes. Cobb's longing to return to his children grounds the entire story. As Whitey puts it, “Love is the engine of the movie.” And that spinning top at the end? The debate rages, with Damo arguing that the wedding ring, not the top, is Cobb's real totem.Zimmer's Sonic BoomHans Zimmer's iconic score is one of the true stars of the episode and the film. The guys take a detour to relive their recent trip to see Zimmer live, where “Time” was the final encore and “Mombasa” opened the show. Damo drops some deep trivia, including Zimmer's creation of the signature “braaam” sound that became a staple in modern trailers.Zimmer's blend of orchestral grandeur and percussive power is credited with elevating Inception to the next level. It's not just background music, it's narrative glue.Big Ideas, Bigger DebatesThe episode also tackles the meta: could inception be real? Is dream-sharing possible? The crew has fun exploring the logic (and illogic) of the film's concept, concluding that it's a hard "maybe". They also dive into Nolan's place in the pantheon of modern directors, putting him above even some of the biggest names for his commitment to originality.Damo offers a run-through of the best Nolan films, debating whether Inception tops The Dark Knight, Interstellar, and Memento. G-Man drops trivia about the film's production and cast (yes, Pete Postlethwaite was only in it for three minutes), and the whole crew salutes Nolan's ability to deliver blockbuster-level art films.IN THIS EPISODE:Dream physics, logic puzzles, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in zero-GThe tragic brilliance of Mal and why Cobb's guilt is the real villainTom Hardy: suave or too normal?The mystery of Ariadne's tiny pantsIs this peak Nolan?

Listeners, you either die a normal film podcast, or live long enough to see your show completely devolve into a Christopher Nolan marathon. Between Heath Ledger's legendary turn as the Joker, Nolan's transformation into an IMAX-first director, and the coolest truck crash in cinema history, there's so much to explore in this sprawling behemoth of a picture. We went for nearly four hours on this one, and could easily do another four. THE DARK KNIGHT is (still!) just that good!! Next week, our Nolan era comes to a climactic finish with THE DARK KNIGHT RISES (2012).

Over the years we have discussed the selective and predictive programming in music, movies, television, etc., in regard to everything from UFOs to human trafficking and child abuse. The movie Independence Day, released July 3, 1996, seemed to predict the appearance of a city-sized UFO, which manifested in Phoenix as the infamous ‘Phoenix Lights' on March 13, 1997. The movie Nope seemed to predict the shooting down of objects over Alaska, Canada, and Lake Huron, one of which had “strings hanging off” of it like in the movie UFO. Movies like Spotlight and the Sound of Freedom show us the underbelly of sexual abuse and trafficking. During the pandemic the top movies were Contagion, 28 Days Later, and 12 Monkeys. A 2022 Netflix film called White Noise, about a train carrying toxic chemicals derailing in a small Ohio town, was brought to life when on February 3, 2023, a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in the same town, East Palestine, Ohio, which was used for filming the movie crash. M. Night Shyamalan's Knock at the Cabin did something similar with plane crashes and earthquakes. In fact, the movie was released on the day of the Ohio train wreck, February 3rd. The next day a FedEx cargo plane almost landed on a commercial Southwest flight. A week later an American Airlines flight ran into a bus on the taxiway. A few days later a report came out about a United Airlines flight that fell 1,400ft out of the sky after take off from Hawaii. Long after the movie was shot, but before release, two other planes almost collided at JFK and before that the NOTAM system went down grounding flights nationwide. In the middle of all this, three days after the movie release, a massive 7.8 earthquake rocked Turkey and opened up an enormous chasm in the earth. The movie ends with fire beginning to engulf the earth, a prelude to the upcoming movie Oppenheimer. These are themes also in the upcoming Dune 2 and Fallout tv adaption. The new Wes Anderson movie Asteroid City is now setting the stage, literally, for an excepted flop and expected hit, i.e. the Barbie movie and Oppenheimer, both set to be released on July 21, 2023. Asteroid City is really a movie about a play, wherein the actors and audience move in-between sets, between what is real and what is staged. In Asteroid City there are quarantines, aliens, doorways between worlds, and in the background atomic bombs, disassociate from reality. In the Barbie movie promos the character stands within a mirror. The backdrops and sets are also similar, even in the pastel-like colors, to the Barbie movie, which is obviously about Barbie Land and how dolls with no human essence journey into the world of humans. In one scene there are two X's stacked on top of each other, perhaps signifying the XX chromosomes of women, of which Barbie does not have. She is plastic, a doll, and not real. The point is that in a fake world the only thing that matters is the mask and outward appearance, and thus one can be a man or woman by choice. Also, in the Barbie movie there is supposedly a map showing China's claimed territory of Vietnam which prompted that country to ban the movie. How interesting is it then that Barbie is provoking fears of atomic war and its release date is on the same day as Oppenheimer, which is about the atomic bomb. A similar thing happened in Christopher Nolan's movie Dark Knight Rises, released July 20, 2012, when one of the strike zones in the city was listed on a map as Sandy Hook - like the shooting on December 14, 2012. Interestingly, July 20 was also the Aurora, Colorado, shooting which took place during a screening of Nolan's new Batman movie. The release of these two movies on the same day contrasts the fake world of PINK with the real world of BLACK, themes that can be found all throughout pop-culture, from the Powerpuff Girls in the 1990s, which features black goo and three homunculi, one of which is pink, to recent hit songs like Pink Venom, from the band BLACKPINK, which features black apples, black goo, broken mirrors signifying split personalities, along religious and mythic imagery. One line is “the fire that'll slowly put you to sleep.” A year prior to Pink Venom an article from Reuters out of Japan stated the following of Moderna shots: “Black substances were spotted in syringes and a vial, with pink substances found in another syringe, the health ministry said.”The innocence and purity of pink mixed with mysterious chemicals, massive explosions, etc., create mutations that turn us into something not human – something barbaric or mutated by radiation. That's what media and movies do, be it through coincidence, predictive programming, movie magic, or retro causality. The question is do you prefer the womblike matrix of Barbie or the real world of Oppenheimer that is about to be engulfed in flames? Will you take the high heel or Birkenstock, the blue pill or the red? Will you be human or turn over the codes to Zion for a steak and glass of wine?*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Nuevo episodio de Par-Impar destinado esta vez a Memento, la primera gran joya de Christopher Nolan que nos preparaba para el siglo XXI. Memento supuso la gran carta de presentación de Christopher Nolan de cara a convertirse en el gran director del Hollywood del siglo XXI. Y realmente casi todo él está ya en esta pequeña producción de intriga y suspense donde podemos encontrar sus típicos protagonistas masculinos, obsesiones y juegos temporales. En Memento, Guy Pearce es un exagente de seguros que ha perdido la memoria reciente e investiga el asesinato de su esposa. Ayudándose de sus notas y tatuajes, que le ayudan a recordar lo esencial, el peculiar investigador se ve envuelto en una intriga repleta de dudosos personajes mientras lucha por recordar y encajar las piezas de su pasado... piezas que la película nos va presentando litearlmente al revés. En efecto, Memento es la película que "avanza hacia atrás". Y así lo cuentan Dani Palacios y Juanma González en este nuevo podcast de Par-Impar de esRadio.

Shawn and Brad discuss the film's brilliance, its beauty, its heart, and its all-around bonkers story (which Christopher Nolan more than likely snagged some inspiration from for his 2010 film Inception). They also chat about Satoshi Kon's legacy as a filmmaker and what makes Paprika such a special entry in his brilliant filmography.HOSTSShawn EastridgeBrad Gullickson

We loved making this episode, and we hope you get a kick out this look back. #80s #nostalgia #BullDurham #Baseball #KevinCostner Be sure and subscribe, and check out my full reviews of every movie we cover:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cinemavino/id1443636422https://open.spotify.com/show/3F2TZMa7gawXwY86syEZa6?si=74a4650f88cb48c7https://toddwoffordmovies.comAlso check out our cool sponsor!

Welcome to the hardboiled streets of 90s Chicago where a crime wave is at an all time high. It's up to you, officer Don Marshall, and you, Unnamed Female, to fight crime with as many bullets as possible. Then travel to the Wild West to also fight crime with as many bullets as possible. This is Konami's Lethal Enforcers arcade series. How was a knee-burning, motion-sensing game responsible for adding another arcade to the Lethal Enforcers family? Do you know all the words to the Hey Dude theme song? Is the Justifier the best possible name for a light gun peripheral? Was this game an inspiration for a certain scene in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight? We are asked what our favorite gun design is from arcade light guns (and our least favorite) and perhaps the question that Rob has been waiting his entire life to answer: who would win in the ultimate showdown between Aliens versus Predator versus RoboCop versus Terminator.

This week on 2 Bears 1 Cave, Bert Kreischer is joined by legendary funnyman and certified bear Thomas Lennon for one of the wildest rides yet. No stranger to confrontations, Thomas tells Bert some stories about a fight he got into in the real-world and the internet. They dive into the Amazon reviews of Mein Kampf, unpack the all-female Blue Origin space flight, and debate which celebs should be launched into orbit next. Thomas also opens up about working with Christopher Nolan, shares the weirdest thing he's ever used his fame for, and the two squirm over some spelunking stories. The two also discuss claustrophobia, Tom's basketball injury, suicide pods in Switzerland, and whether getting beat up by a woman is a fair fight. From film criticism to Karen moments, to the legendary Pink Palace, this episode has it all! 2 Bears, 1 Cave Ep. 286 https://tomsegura.com/tour https://www.bertbertbert.com/tour https://store.ymhstudios.com Chapters 00:00:00 - Intro 00:01:23 - Mein Kampf 00:06:34 - Women In Space 00:11:03 - Happy Endings 00:18:18 - Back To The Lady Astronauts 00:22:37 - Thrill Seeking 00:26:00 - Caves 00:35:53 - A Funny Death 00:40:05 - Fame 00:45:47 - Tom's Broken Body 00:49:37 - Swiss Unalive Pods 00:56:38 - The Man Who Would Be King 00:59:44 - Christopher Nolan Movies 01:07:24 - Film Criticism 01:22:27 - Confrontations 01:34:57 - Cop Stuff 01:39:34 - Karen Moments 01:42:57 - Can't We All Just Get Along 01:49:38 - Couples Therapy & The Space Draft 01:55:31 - Body Acceptance Learn more about your ad choices.
