EPISODE 78 - “FILM NOIR - Part 1 - WHAT IS NOIR?” - 3/10/2025 Have you ever wondered what exactly is film noir? TCM's EDDIE MULLER describes it this way: “Film Noir is all about treachery, deceit, and paranoia. You're never quite sure what is going on, who you can trust, or what dreadful pitfall waits around the corner.” This dark and twisted film genre popped up after WWII as a quiet cynicism began to creep into the national consciousness. In film noir, there is always an underbelly of darkness that comes out to play. And within the darkness, the shadows, and the neon lights, lie many stories of crime, dishonesty, adultery, murder, and mayhem. This week, we present the first in a special three-part series that delves into the darkest of genres where crooked cops, gangsters, torch singers, barflies, and other seedy character's live, love and kill. Join us as we discuss Film Noir! SHOW NOTES: Sources: Film Noir (2017), by Alian Silver & James Ursini; Into the Darkness: The Hidden World of Film Noir 1941-1959 (2016), by Mark A.

EPISODE 76 - “MEMORABLE OSCAR SPEECHES OF THE GOLDEN ERA OF HOLLYWOOD” - 2/24/2025 Winning an Oscar is a dream for most people who work in Hollywood. But you can't just win the Oscar, you have to have a good speech once your name is called and you head to the podium.

As we prepare to celebrate the 97th annual Academy Award ceremony, Steve and Nan look back on some of their favorite Oscar speeches and why they resonate.

"Buckel wessen?" Comedy-Legende Mel Brooks inszenierte im Jahr 1974 eine Grusel-Persiflage, die einerseits nochmal 43 Jahre älter ausschaut – denn sie geht zurück auf Universals ersten "Frankenstein" – und andererseits mehr Blitze ins Zwerchfell schleudert als Frederick Fronkensteen in seine Kreatur. Gab es je ein besseres Comedy-Ensemble als Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Teri Garr, Peter Boyle, Cloris Leachman, Madeline Kahn und Kenneth Mars?
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. Filmmakers like Scorsese, Coppola, Cassavetes, Altman, Lumet, and DePalma hit their stride and brought to the screen their specific vision and stylized films. It was a very experimental era where boundaries were pushed and once-taboo topics were explored. It became a creative high point and gave us some iconic movies. This week, Steve And Nan take look at some of their favorite films of the 1970s.

Unanimously and in perfect unison, we all chose to revisit our shared childhoods with Double, Double, Toil and Trouble (1993), the made-for-TV movie starring Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. The tiny twins may have been well into building their empire by then (after all, they started as literal infants), but they were still getting used to the acting game, and it showed in their adorable performance as they kept accidentally looking into the camera. That said, they still gave a masterclass in sass, and they held their own amidst stars like Cloris Leachman, Eric McCormack, and Meshach Taylor. On our latest episode of Spooky Tuesday, we're enjoying the autumnal vibes and trying not to get too bogged down in ‘90s era problematic elements as we go on a little adventure and learn the magic words: Jacuzzi jacuzzi!

We're talking Mel Brooks movies on the newest Jagbags! Which movie is your favorite? What movies would you put in his all-time Top Five? Has he ever made a bad movie? (He has.) Where do you stand on Spaceballs? Or High Anxiety? Who gave the greatest comic performance in a Mel Brooks movie? We take on all these questions FEARLESSLY. Tune in for ultimate comedy discussion! SEDAGIVE?!??
Leaves are falling, the nights are getting longer, and the abandoned Chuck E. Cheese on the other side of our parking lot has temporarily become a Spirit Halloween store. It's officially Halloween season, and this week I have four horror films to recommend that I watch every year to get me into the Halloween spirit. First on my list is Young Frankenstein, Mel Brooks' classic Frankenstein sequel/parody released in 1974. Not all of Brooks' films have aged well, but Young Frankenstein still stands up as a classic comedy. The film stars Gene Wilder as Dr. Frankenstein's grandson, who travels to Transylvania to prove to the world his grandfather was not insane. After arriving he discovers his grandfather's notes and equipment and is ultimately able to reanimate a corpse… with mixed results. Wilder is joined on screen by Madeline Kahn, Marty Feldman, Cloris Leachman, Teri Garr, Kenneth Mars, and Gene Hackman, and Peter Boyle as the monster. Even though I seem to catch bits and pieces (no pun intended) of this on cable throughout the year, I put it on the list because it's best enjoyed all the way through from start to finish. If you remove this one from the shelv but change your mind, be sure to put it, and the candle, BACK.Second on my list is 1985's Silver Bullet, based on a Stephen King novella. In Silver Bullet, a small town in Maine (it's always a small town in Maine…) is under attack by a murderer that turns out to be a werewolf. After a young boy named Marty manages to wound the werewolf, he and his sister set out to determine the werewolf's identity. But when the moon is full, the hunters quickly become the hunted. Starring Corey Haim and Gary Busey, Silver Bullet is a classic that gets me into the Halloween spirit every year.Next on my list is John Carpenter's The Thing, released in 1982. I have long considered this film along with a few others like Jaws and Back to the Future to be essentially flawless films. I've watched The Thing a dozen times and there's not a thing I would change. It's the perfect combination of traditional scares and psychological terror. When researchers discover an alien life form that not only consumes people but can physically imitate them as well, a group of researchers quickly discover who among them they can trust — no one. Starring Kurt Russell and featuring a cast of familiar faces, The Thing is the perfect way to instill fear and paranoia before bedtime. The last film on my list is 1985's Fright Night, a film about a teenage boy who believes his next door neighbor may actually be a vampire responsible for the uptick in murders reported on the news. When Charley's family, friends, and even the police fail to believe him, there's only one person he can turn to: Peter Vincent, host of the late night horror-themed television show, Fright Night. The bad news for Charley is that by the time he discovers the truth about his neighbor, his neighbor is on to him. Fright Night is classic 80s horror — it's a little scary, a little silly, and a whole lot of fun. It's worth a watch if you haven't seen it recently.I hope you are as excited about Halloween as we are here at the Video Store Podcast. Help yourself to a complimentary pair of plastic vampire teeth and fake blood capsules (careful — they'll stain clothing) and take all the candy corn you want (we can never get rid of that stuff). I hope at least one of this week's movies gets you into the Halloween spirit. Let us know your favorite “must watch” films that get you into the Halloween spirit! This is a public episode.

If you are what you choose to podcast, then we choose to say a lot of nice things about Brad Bird's debut cartoon. As wonderful as the animation and the voicework are and as touching and emotional as the story is, The Iron Giant somehow failed at the box office. Maybe it wasn't funny or fun enough for people who were used to Disney style 'toons? Maybe it was too reliant on reminding us of other classics like E.T., Superman and Terminator 2? It also sets its scene in the '50s with a major theme of Cold War paranoia, which is heady stuff for kids. We applaud how mature The Iron Giant (usually) is though. One thing that's impossible to find fault with are the voice actors, led by young Eli Marienthal as Hogarth and Vin Diesel, who's perfectly cast as metallic voice of the Giant. In any case, our 602nd episode will do many things---including teach you a few facts about Maine---as we evaluate the goods and the greats about Bird's Iron Giant. Well, Actually: Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Cloris Leachman are in fact tied with 8 Emmys, which are the most for a performer.

After our Shoresy side-quest, we're back on track and hopping the next train to Transylvania! Rum Daddy's birthday pick pic is none other than Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder's classic 1974 send-up of the movie versions of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's classic novel. Starring Wilder, Marty Feldman, Teri Garr, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, and Peter Boyle as The Monster, the spoof centers on a modern descendant of the infamous Dr. Victor Frankenstein, a Dr. Frederick Frankensteen, who inherits his grandfather's estate and title and decides to take up the family business. Curiously missing from streaming nowadays, the film was a major hit when it debuted and is ranked among the best comedies of all time.

“Arf! Arf!” “What's that, Girl? Timmy's in the well!!?” We speak fluent Collie and Timmy got into plenty of trouble but he never fell into a well. What Lassie is trying to tell you there is that “Timmy,” Jon Provost, is doing very well. He's an animal rights activist who has just launched a CBD spray to help calm pets and, along with his wife, Laurie Jacobson, he's written a book chronicling his phenomenal show-biz history, including films with Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, Jane Wyman, Robert Redford, Natalie Wood, William Holden, Clinton Eastwood and Kurt Russell. Jon spent seven years working on Lassie and June Lockhart before graduating as a bona fide teen idol and exploring all of the iconic haunts along the Sunset Strip with Davy Jones, David Cassidy and Sajid Kahn!The book is, naturally, titled Timmy's In The Well and along with Jon's acting history, it also explores what happens to a family when one kid becomes world famous. Jon's wife Laurie joins us with insights into exactly that as well as intrigue on Hollywood's hidden history and a peek into her next book about The Sunset Strip.We leave no stone unturned and no well un-excavated as we trace Jon's start back to his mother's love for Jane Wyman which compelled her to bring her 3-year-old son to a cattle-call audition for the role of Sterling Hayden and Jane Wyman's little boy in 1953's So Big. Out of a sea of hundreds, Jon won the part.From there, we go behind the Lassie scenes with Jon as he warmly remembers his relationship with the world's most beloved dog and her trainer, Rudd Weatherwax. (Actually, his trainer. Lassie was always played by a male dog.) Jon and Lassie travelled the country on promotional tours and along the way, they grand marshaled parades, hosted charity events and visited children's hospital, inspiring Jon towards a lifetime of charity work and public service.Jon also reflects on his personal struggles with dyslexia, school bullies, finding himself as he came of age and how a conversation with Kurt Russell on the set of 'The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes' convinced him it was time to take a much-needed break from the business.Plus, Laurie and Jon share their “How Did You Meet” story. It happened at an autograph show where Laurie came over to his booth to chat with Stanley Livingston. Lassie having taught Jon well in the art of non-verbal communication, Jon kicked Stan under the table which is code for, “What the heck, Stan!? Introduce me to this lovely woman!” All that plus Weezy and Fritz are recommending Hollywood Con Queen and Sugar, both on Apple TV+.Path Points of Interest:Jon ProvostTimmy's In The Well by Jon Provost & Laurie JacobsonJon Provost on WikipediaJon Provost on FacebookLaurie JacobsonLaurie Jacobson's Amazon Author PageLaurie Jacobson on InstagramProvost Pet SprayMuttvilleHollywood Con Queen on Apple +Sugar on Apple +
Hi There - Welcome back to another episode of Bedtalks. Please note that while alternative treatments to deal with trauma are discussed on this show, these are the expressed views of our guest. We always recommend meeting with your healthcare provider to determine the optimal treatment for you and your mental health. On this show, we interview someone who had to take a nontraditional journey that wasn't always easy or familiar. Sometimes, the hardest path to take is when you don't know the destination, and the path to get there can feel fuzzy, unclear, and emotionally painful. In our interview with Morgan Englund, a former actor and son of beloved Cloris Leachman, we learn of his journey of rediscovery and connecting to the things that matter the most to him. Morgan discusses his journey as an actor, his desire for emotional connection, navigating Tinseltown, aka Hollywood, and settling into connecting back with himself. Morgan has started a different chapter in his life, and he takes us through what he has learned to heal and start anew. We think you will find this interview eye-opening if you are on a road that feels unclear, you're looking to shift things in your life, or you feel that you have unresolved trauma. You can learn more about Morgan Englund here. Tune in and share this message with someone who might need it.

1974 was a landmark year for film, a convergence of exciting international cinema and the original voices of New Hollywood that still resonates 50 years later. In our new series we invite a different guest for each episode to choose a 1974 movie to talk about, ranging from giant blockbusters to minor cult curios and everything else in between. Despite the domination of Coppolas, Polanskis and Cassaveteses, 1974 really belonged to Mel Brooks. Nearly 50 at the time, the legendary comedy writer had risen from his Borscht Belt origins to release two classic films in one year, 1974's #1 box office smash Blazing Saddles and trailing all the way back at #4 highest grossing picture Young Frankenstein. While both films became instant perennial favorite parodies of then out-of-style genres, Young Frankenstein is a true love letter to the Universal Monster movies of yore and a masterfully-made horror flick that just happens to have jokes in it. We welcome back Pink Smoke favorite and wig expert Kate Wilkinson to join our chorus of praise for co-writer Gene Wilder as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (sorry, Fronk-en-steen), Marty Feldman as Eye-gor, Teri Garr as Inga, Cloris Leachman as Frau Blücher, Madeline Kahn as Elizabeth, Kenneth Mars as Inspector Kemp, recent Oscar-winner Gene Hackman as the Blind Man and true 70's superstar Peter Boyle as The Monster - each performer at the absolute top of of their game. We discuss the film's origins being deeper than the iconic 1931 James Whale movie, whether this is more a triumph for Brooks (who was banned from casting himself) or Wilder (it was his baby) and how it fit into the comedy mindset of the mid-70's.

Elegant and refined aren't words you'd normally bandy about Mel Brooks' filmography, but with Young Frankenstein, they just seem to fit. This horror homage is really a delicate soufflé, crafted with care and dedicated to the Universal horror flicks of the 1930s. Brooks seems to genuinely love the James Whale/Boris Karloff adaptation of Mary Shelley's book, and he's very careful to steer his humor away from even a hint of ridicule. Brooks (who co-writes with Gene Wilder) builds his story as a modern echo of Shelley's work. Frederick Frankenstein (Wilder) is the grandson of the infamous scientist. He teaches a fringe class on anatomy and physiology, which only invites curious questions from nosy students. Frederick is touchy on the subject, and he erupts at any comparison to his grandfather–even their names are pronounced differently. (“It's FRONKEN-STEEEN!!!”) Soon, Frederick receives word that he's inherited the Transylvanian estate of his great-grandfather. He heads off to Eastern Europe, where both his heritage and destiny await.Of course, this is Mel Brooks, so Frederick's foray into his family history will take the form of unadulterated wackiness. First, we meet Igor (Marty Feldman), whose grandfather was once a blathering sycophant to Frederick's grandfather. Once Feldman totters into the story, Young Frankenstein‘s silliness cranks up to eleven. Feldman, who looks like a Picasso version of Peter Lorre, just about picks up the movie and walks off with it. (No small feat with this cast!) He mugs for the camera, breaks the forth wall, and helps Brooks guide this Frankenstein right off the rails.On that subject, another key player in this mad little tale is Cloris Leachman. She plays Frau Blucher (“Neighhhhh!”), the caretaker of Frankenstein's estate. Like Feldman, Leachman realizes that in a Mel Brooks movie, there's no such thing as too goofy. Her severe housekeeper storms through the mansion, delivering stern proclamations and playing the violin like a wild-eyed loon. Poor Teri Garr gets stuck playing it straight in this sea of spoofs.And this being a spoof of Mary Shelley's masterwork, you know we'll have to eventually get around to the titular monster. That means we've got to have another lumbering golem, and this time he's played by Peter Boyle. Boyle has impeccable comic timing.Brooks' film even pulls off the little throwaway moments, like the scientist's office door that has an after-hours dropbox for donated brains. That also extends to Gene Hackman's cameo, which ranks as one of my favorite in all of movie history. But then, Young Frankenstein packs in so much goodness, it's hard to cram it all into one review. I haven't even touched on Kenneth Mars' unhinged portrayal of the local police inspector, or the redoubtable Madeline Kahn, as Frederick's overly vain squeeze. As a cherry on top, Brooks even reached out to Kenneth Strickfaden, the propmaster of Whale's original film.Put all that together, and you've got a unique entry in Brooks' off-the-wall oeuvre. It's not his funniest work, that honor belongs to Blazing Saddles. Nor is it his cleverest, we'll give that trophy to The Producers. That said, this is probably Brooks' most complete film. It's loaded with knuckleheaded gags, and most of them land perfectly. Young Frankenstein is like a raunchy joke, served up on the fanciest silver platter.105 min. PG. DVD and Blu-Ray Only.

THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR, our celebration of classic noir, continues in abundance and we land on one wild flick involving another iconic private dick that isn't Philip Marlow. We're talking about Mickey Spillane's two fisted dirtbag protagonist “Mike Hammer” as played by Ralph Meeker In Robert Aldrich's 1955 genre-bending noir, “KISS ME DEADLY”. Some dame that looks a lot like a young Cloris Leachman gets picked up by a two-bit detective. Next thing he knows, she's dead and he's knocked out in a car and people seem to be real desperate to find something before he does. Also starring Maxine Cooper and Gaby Rodgers, KISS ME DEADLY is a unique and strange story adapted very loosely by screenwriter A.I. Bezzerides. This noir became wildly influential and we get to the bottom of why.

Sandra Gimpel: Stunt Woman to the Stars You won't recognize Sandy Gimpel's face from the original "Star Trek" because it was covered by loads of prosthetics! She was The Salt Vampire from the season one episode of TOS "The Man Trap," but she also was a Talosian in the original pilot with Jeffrey Hunter, "The Cage." When Ms. Gimpel started in Hollywood, she had no idea what a "stunt" even was, but she eventually became one of the top stunt performers in the industry and remains active to this day. Sandra tells us about her origins in Hollywood by becoming one of Elvis Presley's main dancers featured in many of his movies, how she ended up as Bill Mumy's stunt double in "Lost in Space" and how that led to her time on "Star Trek," working with Jeffrey Hunter, William Shatner, and Gene Roddenberry and the secrets to her makeup, and more from her time on Trek. Plus, stories about doubling Debbie Reynolds from 1961 through the rest of her life, doubling for Betty White and Cloris Leachman, getting tossed off a stage by Sacha Baron Cohen at the BAFTA Awards, tales from "Battlestar Galactica," "Airplane!" and other shows and films from her career, and the scariest stunts gone wrong including an episode of "Bring 'em Back Alive" and a cereal commercial that went from funny to deadly in the blink of an eye.

This week, the guys are joined by Galen Howard to wrap their heads around Kirk Cameron's brain and the film A Little Piece of Heaven, a joyful uplifting Christian movie in which children are kidnapped and convinced that they've died and gone to Heaven so they will hang out with Kirk's lonely developmentally delayed sister. Yup. With this being the wildest premise maybe ever featured on the show, there is no shortage of topics here but the guys also discuss all of the surprisingly racist material, sex, drugs & violence, Agent Mr. Jack Daniels, Cloris Leachman telling kids to beat each other up and much more. Yes, a LOT MORE. Next week: Bigfoot! What We've Been Watching: Freaked Men at Work "The Goes Wrong Show" Questions? Comments? Suggestions?

Just before we get into the meat of the Christmas season we're gifting you early with a movie talk every day this week and let's close out a very COMFORT FOOD theme November with one of the most well regarded films about a small town that ever was. In Anarene, nothing really changes and we've all know plenty of Jacys and Duanes and Sonnys so some of the ups and downs in the 1971 film “The Last Picture Show” might be familiar to you. Directed by Peter Bogdanovich and co-written by Larry McMurtry who wrote the original novel. Filmed in Larry McMurty's home town of Archer Texas and launching several careers like Cybill Shepherd, Jeff Bridges and Timothy Bottoms and redefining the careers of others like Ben Johnson, Ellen Burstyn and Cloris Leachman. A straight shooting movie with no overflowing saccharine (well, maybe a dash) and not much animosity (well, maybe some). Small town flicks don't get much better than this. Which person in this movie is the most like you? Don't say Sam the Lion. There's not enough of those guys out there. You're probably a Billy. That's not meant to be an insult. Billy is the most innocent. Just be the Billy and stay out of traffic, ok?

Spooky season continues now with a TV movie theme! This week we're covering Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's 1993 classic: Double, Double Toil and Trouble. Though not about to win any acting Oscars, this flick provides some harmless, authentic Halloween atmosphere and some pretty rad bad witch energy from Cloris Leachman. Join us as we reminsince about Halloween parties, discuss MK+A's music 'hits', and complain about bobbing for apples. Stay Spooky Sweeties!
Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast, we speak to Larry Strauss, son of actress Charlotte Rae. To say we were more than a little surprised at how many of you connected to this episode with all of you comments, likes and metrics, is an understatement. You really took a liking to this one and why not? Larry was incredibly open about how both his mother and Josh's mother both shared the stage in the Broadway musical Li'l Abner, about an indiscrete moment between Cloris Leachman and Martin Balsam, how his mother turned a co-starring role on Diff'rent Strokes into a starring role on The Facts of Life and much more. We also spoke to Larry about his books, the more recent biography of his mother The Facts of My Life as well as Lightman a book of fiction about two characters awash in catastrophe and possible redemption in 1973 New York City. What's more we delved into his teaching students in the LAUSD system in Los Angeles and how rewarding it is for him in an often difficult environment. We also learn about Larry's father John Strauss who was a composer & editor whose credits run the gamut from The Phil Silvers Show, Amadeus, Take The Money and Run and so much more. This episode has a it all, some laughs, some heartache and some great storytelling. But it's the story about Larry's older brother Andrew that took place each Christmas season that still has us thinking about it today. Another child of a celebrity interviewed by the child of a celebrity. Everyone has a story.
