Podcast appearances and mentions of Colin Farrell

This week on "Streaming Without A Paddle" Andrew and Ted discuss the Netflix original "Ballad of a Small Player" from "Conclave" director Edward Berger and starring Colin Farrell. Billed as a black comedy psychological thriller, Brendan Reilly (Farrell) assumes the fictitious identity of "Lord Doyle" in the gambling capital of the world Macau after embezzling nearly 1 million pounds from a client back in England. Having lost pretty much all of it playing baccarat and running up a tremendous tab at a luxury hotel Reilly / Doyle is struggling to win money to stay afloat. That's when he meets a female loan shark ... Dao Ming (Chen) who seemingly shows him compassion after being confronted by the wife of another client that has taken his own life due to his debt to her. Tune into the show to find out what Andrew and Ted thought.

This week, we discuss two films from acclaimed director Yorgos Lanthimos. The first is Poor Things (2023), written by Tony McNamara and based on the 1992 novel by Alasdair Gray. It follows Emma Stone as Bella Baxter, a young woman in Victorian London who is brought back to life via brain transplant. The second is The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017), which follows a cardiac surgeon, played by Colin Farrell, who introduces his family to a teenage boy with a connection to his past, after which they mysteriously begin to fall ill.   Timestamps What we've been watching (00:00:33) – Alien: Earth, Slow Horses season five, Down Cemetery Road, My Brilliant Friend season one, Mr. Scorsese, Predator: Badlands, Bugonia Poor Things (00:32:00) The Killing of a Sacred Deer (01:00:30) Coin toss (01:28:30)   Links Instagram - @callitfriendopodcast @munnywales @andyjayritchie   Letterboxd – @andycifpod @fat-tits mcmahon   Justwatch.com – streaming and rental links - https://www.justwatch.com

Edward Berger hat mit Im Westen nichts Neues und Konklave hohe Erwartungen geweckt. In Ballad of a Small Player, seinem neuesten Film, nimmt er sich dem Thema Spielsucht an – mitten im grellen Casino-Kosmos von Macao. Doch kann ein Film funktionieren, wenn die Hauptfigur schon am Abgrund beginnt und sich dann nicht wirklich weiterentwickelt? Und was passiert, wenn das Setting zwischen Traum und Realität schwankt, ohne sich klar zu entscheiden? Wir sprechen über Colin Farrells schweißnasses Spiel, verschwommene Nebenfiguren und eine Stadt, die größer scheint als der Film selbst.

“Ballad of a Small Player” ist ein Film, der viele Versprechen macht, am Ende jedoch erstaunlich wenig einlöst. Schon nach den ersten Minuten merkt man, dass hier großes, poetisches Kino entstehen soll. Alles liegt in sanftem Licht, jedes Bild ist präzise komponiert und jede Bewegung exakt überlegt. Doch genau das macht Edward Bergers Film schwer greifbar. Es ist, als würde man einem Gemälde beim Trocknen zusehen. Schön und vollkommen, aber ohne Leben. Der Film möchte berühren, schafft es aber nur in den seltensten Momenten.Colin Farrell spielt mit jener vertrauten Schwermut, die ihm so leicht gelingt. Trotzdem bleibt seine Figur seltsam leer, wie ein Spiegel, in dem kein Gesicht zurückblickt. Man erkennt, dass er verzweifelt sein soll, dass in ihm etwas ringt, doch es erreicht einen nicht. Zu viel Form und zu wenig Empfindung. Alles an diesem Werk scheint der Ästhetik verpflichtet, nicht aber dem Potenzial seiner Geschichte.Regie und Kamera verlieren sich in Oberflächen, in Neonlichtern, im Regen und in den Farben der Casino-Wände. Macau wird zur Kulisse, kein Ort, sondern eine Idee von Müdigkeit und Verlorenheit. Man wünscht sich etwas Raues, etwas Unvorhergesehenes, doch der Film bleibt glatt und fern. Jede Bewegung und jedes Wort wirken einstudiert.“Ballad of a Small Player” scheint etwas erzählen zu wollen über Schuld und Erlösung, über das, was bleibt, wenn man alles verspielt hat. Doch die Worte verhallen. Zwischen den makellosen Bildern und der weichen Musik öffnet sich eine Leere, die nicht nachklingt, sondern verklingt. Am Ende bleibt man zurück, beeindruckt von der Eleganz, aber ohne Gefühl. Ein Film, der glänzt, ohne etwas mitzuteilen.

We're diving into Sci-Fi Month here on The WatchTower Film Podcast! This month, we're exploring the strange, the cerebral, and the speculative sides of cinema—and we're kicking things off with Yorgos Lanthimos' The Lobster.In a world where single people must find a partner or be turned into animals, Colin Farrell delivers one of his most hilariously bleak performances. We unpack the film's dark humor, surreal worldbuilding, and why Lanthimos' deadpan dystopia hits harder (and funnier) than your average love story.Romance has never been this weird—or this scientific.

Award Season is looming and so far there are no clear favorites. And there may never be, Some years are like that. BUT there are some pictures coming soon that have been getting some buzz and lucky us,we've seen them. And lucky you because we'll tell you which movies are worthy of buzz. Neil Rosen starts us off with "Bugonia" which is the latest from director Yorgos Lanthimos who seems to find new ways to torture Emma Stone in every movie he makes. Bill Bregoli tells us about the Netflix movie "Ballad of a Small Player" in which Colin Farrell sweats a lot and gambles in far-off Macau. Is it a safe bet? And Bill McCuddy tells us about "Christy" starring Sydney Sweeney as boxer Christy Martin. We've also got Bill M's interview with Jodie Foster about her latest movie "A Private Life." You can hear it right here. We've also got the Springsteen sort of biopic "Deliver Me From Nowhere" as well as "Nuremberg" starring Russell Crowe as a Nazi! Plus we've got the nuclear thriller from Kathryn Bigelow "A House of Dynamite" and the documentary Ben Stiller made about his parents called "Stiller and Meara: Nothing is Lost." Geez, there's even more including the spicy "Hedda" and the buzzy foreign film "Sentimental Value." There's even more but your humble scribe is tired from all this typing and has just enough energy left to tell you Neil teases something special that's coming soon.

Travis Hopson reviews Edward Berger's lurid BALLAD OF A SMALL PLAYER starring Colin Farrell, Tilda Swinton, and Fala Chen. Streaming now on Netflix.SYNOPSIS: “Lord Doyle (Colin Farrell) is laying low in Macau – spending his days and nights on the casino floors, drinking heavily and gambling what little money he has left. Struggling to keep up with his fast-rising debts, he is offered a lifeline by the mysterious Dao Ming (Fala Chen), a casino employee with secrets of her own. However, in hot pursuit is Cynthia Blithe (Tilda Swinton) – a private investigator ready to confront Doyle with what he is running from. As Doyle tries to climb to salvation, the confines of reality start to close in.”All of this and more can be found at www.punchdrunkcritics.com!Subscribe to Punch Drunk Critics on YouTube:    / @punchdrunkcritics1  Follow Punch Drunk Critics on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/pdcmoviesFollow Punch Drunk Critics on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pdcmoviesYou can also subscribe to our podcast Cinema Royale anywhere you get your podcasts!#colinfarrell #BalladOfASmallPlayer #moviereviews

It's Halloween weekend and there isn't a lot of horror but Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy still have eight films to talk about. They include a documentary about an archbishop who wrote the gay disco anthem of the ‘70s (I Was Born This Way) and another true story about drugs, family and revenge in the Ozarks (Violent Ends). There are some holiday-themed titles including a daughter realizing her mom may have fallen into a cult (Self-Help) and an animated Frankenstein-esque tale for kids (Stitch Head). The director of Conclave has Colin Farrell gambling away in Macau (Ballad of a Small Player) and Nia DaCosta swaps race and gender in an updating of Henrik Ibsen's 1891 play (Hedda). Diane Lane watches her family come apart in a new America (Anniversary) and the pair share their memories on the 40th anniversary of a masterpiece (Back to the Future).3:32 - I Was Born This Way13:44 - Self-Help21:53 - Stitch Head30:43 - Violent Ends42:14 - Ballad of a Small Player51:14 - Anniversary1:09:10 - Hedda1:20:33 - Back to the Future (40th Anniversary re-release)CLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCASTBe sure to check outErik's Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten TomatoesCritics' Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, ILChicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streamingPhysical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.(Direct purchases help the Movie Madness podcast with a few pennies.)Erik's Linktree - Where you can follow Erik and his work anywhere and everywhere.The Movie Madness Podcast has been recognized by Million Podcasts as one of the Top 100 Best Movie Review Podcasts as well as in the Top 60 Film Festival Podcasts and Top 100 Cinephile Podcasts.

Down to Watch lines up an evening of scares with 2011's Fright Night! Dan and Raul are squaring a spooky circle they started last year with the 1985 original by checking out the second go-round with Colin Farrell, Toni Collette, Imogen Poots and Anton Yelchin in the main roles (we still get an Ed but lose a Billy). This retry at a horror version of Rear Window has the advantage of 20+ years of horror history to draw inspiration and experience from in order to turn this send up of b-movies that ended up as one itself by addressing the mistakes of the first and bringing these characters into the 2010s, an ideal position for a cast and crew to tackle the dreaded remake. Do these modern filmmakers make good on the promise of a clever premise and talented cast or is this an uninspired rehash of the first foray into fang territory?  Vegas odds are good!

Nick welcomes music journalist Jim Ryan from Forbes.com back to the show for a deep dive into music, madness, and metal. They preview this year's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony and trade stories from Jim's recent interviews with legends like Rob Halford of Judas Priest — including Halford's hilarious tale about the best massage he's ever had in Chicago's Boys Town — plus Marky Ramone, Emo Phillips, and the chaotic geniuses of GWAR. Jim also recaps Riot Fest, Judas Priest, Alice Cooper, and more, while he and Nick swap some wild and heartfelt Shane MacGowan memories. Then, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to break down Hollywood's strangest casting choices, from Angelina Jolie somehow playing Colin Farrell's mother to Tom Cruise trying to fill the massive boots of Jack Reacher. Turns out, suspension of disbelief only stretches so far. [Ep 396]

It's Die Hard in a phone booth!This week on DIE HARD ON A BLANK we're in a glass case of emotion with special guests Katie Walsh and Blake Howard as we discuss the 2002 high-concept thriller PHONE BOOTH, starring Colin Farrell and Forest Whitaker!Slick, sleazy, unscrupulous celebrity publicist Stu Shepard (Colin Farrell) lies for a living, hustling on behalf of his clients while strutting the streets of New York, and constantly making and taking phone calls with the help of a young intern named Adam (Keith Nobbs). However, while visiting one of the city's few remaining phone booths to secretly call a young actress he is trying to sleep with behind his wife's back, Stu suddenly finds himself in the middle of a terrifying situation…when an unidentified “Caller” (Kiefer Sutherland) informs Stu that he will kill him with a sniper rifle unless he remains in the phone booth and follows all his demands… As the two hosts of the MIAMI NICE podcast, our friends Blake and Katie are no stronger to the joys of Colin Farrell…nor of director Joel Schumacher, whose life, career and filmmaking style are all discussed at length. We also get into the film's long and tortured development history, other directors who were considered to helm Larry Cohen's long-gestating screenplay (including Michael Bay), and of course, the surprisingly high amount of “Die Hard DNA” crammed into that confined space. We hand out some awards in the “Die Hard Oscars” and wrap things up with the “Double Jeopardy Quiz”…where the scores can really change. Schumacher stans rise up!TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUqTCsjCsA8At the time of release, PHONE BOOTH is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV/iTunes, YouTube, Fandango and all the usual platforms!Click here to subscribe to our Patreon feed 48 HOURS OF BUDDY MOVIES!www.patreon.com/48hoursofbuddymovies Hosted on Acast.
