Podcast appearances and mentions of colonel blimp

In this episode of The Inquisitor Podcast, host Marcus Cauchi speaks with Michael Davis-Marks, a veteran of the Royal Navy who commanded a nuclear-powered submarine and now focuses on leadership development and advocating for the veteran community. They discuss decision-making under pressure, the unique transferable skills veterans bring to civilian life, and the critical differences between traditional and effective leadership models like servant leadership. The conversation highlights the importance of training, teamwork, delegation, building trust, and fostering a culture where people feel valued and empowered to do their best work. Michael Davis-Marks: Spent 36 years in the Royal Navy, primarily as a submariner, including commanding a nuclear-powered submarine. Served in the British Embassy during 9-11. Since leaving the Navy 13 years ago, he has focused on leadership development and culture. He is also the managing editor of TheVeteran.uk, a publication that gives voice to the veteran community. His mission is to amplify the lived experience of veterans, challenge outdated stereotypes, and advocate for what armed forces veterans can offer to organisations, employers, and society. Key Discussion Points: Veterans as a Valuable Asset: Veterans possess extraordinary transferable skills such as leadership, teamwork, discipline, and commitment, which can be enormously helpful to organisations and society as a whole. There are approximately 2.2 million veterans in the UK, about a million of whom are of working age, representing a significant pool of talent. Challenging Stereotypes: The common stereotype of military people as "Colonel Blimp" or a "shouty sergeant" is inaccurate for the vast majority of veterans. Veteran Mindset: Many veterans, including Michael, don't initially realise how much they have to offer civilian life due to a self-effacing mindset developed through military training that prioritises the team over the individual. Decision Making Under Stress: The military trains individuals to remain calm and think clearly in high-pressure situations. The ability to make good decisions under stress is crucial and can be developed through training and building resilience. Leadership Defined: Leadership is not about telling people what to do. It's about motivating and inspiring people, helping them become better versions of themselves. Servant Leadership: This model posits that the leader is there to serve the people subordinate to them, helping them realise their full potential. It's about looking after the people in your charge, not just being in charge. Delegation vs. Abdication: Leaders who spend their time "doing" are stealing learning opportunities and growth from their people. Empowering people to work things out for themselves, rather than always providing the answer, is crucial for development. Michael's rule was "don't bring me problems, bring me solutions". Allowing people to "have a go," even if they make mistakes in a safe environment, fosters learning. Creating Conditions for Trust: Trust begins with the leader's self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and empathy. It is developed by assigning low-risk tasks initially, being a mentor and coach, gently nudging rather than directing, and providing encouragement and positive feedback. Leadership is Trainable: While some may be "born leaders," leadership skills can be taught and developed through training and practical experience. Openness to feedback and the realisation that one is not perfect are key to improvement. The Staircase of Learning: This concept describes the progression from unconscious incompetence (not knowing what you don't know) through conscious incompetence and conscious competence to unconscious competence (second nature). Training and repetition are critical to moving through these stages and building resilience. Continuous Improvement: In the military, standard operating procedures were changed "all the time" because you can't stand still; "every day is a school day". Agility of thought is essential because plans often don't survive first contact. The Leader's Role: The leader's job is to create the conditions for their people to do their best work. Delegating tasks to competent people allows the leader to step back, maintain a strategic view, and avoid becoming a bottleneck or single point of failure. The Importance of People: People are the most important asset in any organisation, not just numbers on a spreadsheet. Treat them as people. A high staff retention rate is often a sign of a happy and well-led company. People frequently leave jobs because of their boss, particularly if the boss prevents them from doing their best work. Beating people does not improve morale. Advice for New Managers: "Get Off Your Arse" (GOYA) is crucial advice. New managers should spend their initial time listening, walking around, asking curious questions about what people do, what they like/dislike, and what can be improved. Taking notes shows you are listening and helps you remember. Getting out and talking to people makes them feel important and that they belong. This approach should be routine, not just for the first few days. Lesson for a Younger Self: Michael would tell his 23-year-old self that he knows much less than he thinks and is surrounded by people who can help. He would advise working on relationships with others to learn and grow together as a team, emphasising that people are the most important aspect in everything. Recommended Resources: "Turn the Ship Around" by David Marquette (Discusses an "I intend to" model of leadership empowering the team). "Always Start With Why" by Simon Sinek. "Leaders Eat Last" by Simon Sinek (Highlights the principle of leaders serving those who rely on them). TheVeteran.uk: Publication giving voice to the veteran community.

This week, we discuss two classic British films from Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. The first is Black Narcissus (1947), which explores the psychological unraveling of nuns in a remote Himalayan convent as desire and isolation take hold. The second is The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943), which traces the life of a British officer through love, war and friendship, challenging ideas of honour and aging.   Timestamps What we've been watching (00:01:00) – Andor season one, The White Lotus season three, The Amateur, Sully Black Narcissus (00:28:00) The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (00:46:00) Coin toss (01:06:30)   Links Instagram - @callitfriendopodcast @munnywales @andyjayritchie   Letterboxd – @andycifpod @fat-tits mcmahon   Justwatch.com – streaming and rental links - https://www.justwatch.com

Michelle is back to hang out again with Jason and discuss the amazing films of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. This time they look at a great combination of classic and obscure P&P films, all of which have to do in some way with war and its impact on people: 49th Parallel, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp and The Small Back Room. The pair get into a discussion of the complex ways P&P think about war, their flawed lead characters, and the basic humanity of these characters. It's a great listen and we hope you enjoy this week's show!

The new documentary Made in England, featuring Martin Scorsese, prompts Michael, Jared, and Joe to discuss the films of directors Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger, including The Red Shoes, Black Narcissus, and particularly The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp.

In today's episode David discusses Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943), a great patriotic anti-war film made in the depths of WWII. Why did Churchill want the film's production stopped and was he right to suspect it was about him? What does the film say about the politics of nostalgia and the illusions of heroism? And how is Blimp's moustache like Kane's Rosebud?A new bonus episode to accompany this series is out on Saturday: David explores why so many American presidents choose High Noon as their favourite film.

In the latest episode of the podcast, Brian works through a long-time filmmaker blind spot. For a long time, I had not watched the work of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger- aka The Archers- but this discussion is a good time to do that. Joining me in talking about these great British filmmakers is film critic, and return guest, Matthew St. Clair, as we discuss "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp", "Black Narcissus" and "The Red Shoes". I hope you enjoy!

This week we have a whopping big episode for you: Part 2 of our look at Samuel Goldwyn Productions, dealing with the 1940s; and, in our Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto segment, brief discussions of three Powell and Pressburgers, kicking off TIFF's May retrospective. For this episode we watched The Little Foxes (directed by William Wyler), The Pride of the Yankees (directed by Sam Wood), The Best Years of Our Lives (Wyler again), and My Foolish Heart (directed by Mark Robson). From scheming capitalists to heroic baseball stars to casting a critical eye on post-WWII America to a grown-up soap opera that defies the Production Code, we consider the legacy of the innovative independent producer who not only hired intellectuals but let them do their thing.  Time Codes: 0h 00m 30s:      THE LITTLE FOXES (1942) [dir.

I can't help it if I'm scarred from too many bad 1980s and 90s comic book movie adaptations that weren't faithful to the source material.  I know it shouldn't matter.  Especially if the movie was made in the 1940s, it's directed by podcast-favorites Powell and Pressburger, and it's actually excellent.

This week, Corbin and Matt talk about 'The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp,' Powell and Pressburger's incredible exploration of the life and career of a British Solider from the first half of the 20th Century. It's almost hard to talk about because it is such a rich text. We didn't even talk about how the central relationship of the movie reflects that of the movie's creators, we're so deep in it.  You can, and should, watch this movie here, on Criterion, and here on HBOMax.  If you want to read something really incredible about this movie, check out Kent Puckett's essay on the movie here, at JSTOR. Next week's episode is about Chantal Ackerman's "News From Home," which you can watch here. 

It's almost a new year, so we spend this episode looking back at the top 3 films that best captured the last 12 months in our lives. This is not a list of our favorite movies released this year, but a list of the films we watched (new and old) that we will always associate with 2023.

Editor - Thelma Schoonmaker, ACE KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON editor Thelma Schoonmaker ACE has literally had a front row seat to some of the most celebrated films of the past four decades, working as director Martin Scorsese's editor and filmmaking partner.  The pair reunite once again for KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert DeNiro, two mainstays of Scorsese's acting troupe, as well as Lily Gladstone, who delivers a breakout performance as Mollie Kyle. KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON was directed by Martin Scorsese from a screenplay he co-wrote with Eric Roth, based on the 2017 non-fiction book of the same name by David Grann.  Set in 1920's Oklahoma, it focuses on a series of murders of Osage members and relations in the Osage Nation after oil was being produced on tribal land. Tribal members had retained mineral rights on their reservation, and whites sought to gain their wealth. THELMA SCHOONMAKER ACE Thelma Schoonmaker is a three-time Academy Award winner, having worked for more than 40 years alongside filmmaker Martin Scorsese. Schoonmaker has been honored with Oscars, most recently in 2007 for her work on Scorsese's “The Departed,” and in 2004 for his film “The Aviator.” In 1981, she won both the Academy Award and BAFTA Award for editing Scorsese's “Raging Bull.” Subsequently, she worked on all of Scorsese's features: “The King of Comedy,” “After Hours,” “The Color of Money,” “The Last Temptation of Christ,” the “Life Lessons” segment from “New York Stories,” “Goodfellas” (which earned her another BAFTA Award, as well as an Oscar nomination), “Cape Fear,” “The Age of Innocence,” “Casino,” “Kundun,” “Bringing Out the Dead,” “Gangs of New York” (for which she received the ACE Eddie Award and was nominated for an Academy Award), “Shutter Island,” “Hugo” (for which she received another Oscar nomination), “The Wolf of Wall Street,” and “Silence.” In addition to her film editing, Schoonmaker works tirelessly to promote the films and writings of her late husband, the director Michael Powell, among them “The Red Shoes,” “Black Narcissus,” “The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp,” “I Know Where I'm Going,” “A Matter of Life and Death,” “Tales of Hoffmann,” and “Peeping Tom.” Editing Killers of the Flower Moon In our discussion with KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON editor Thelma Schoonmaker ACE, we talk about: Leaning into the love story When to cut to DiCaprio or DeNiro Scorsese's shooting style The structural perfection of Goodfellas Twelve cuts to completion The Credits Visit ExtremeMusic for all your production audio needs Learn all about what's new with Avid Media Composer Subscribe to The Rough Cut podcast and never miss an episode Visit The Rough Cut on YouTube

Brad and Jake tackle, but Brad hasn't seen any movies from 1943, so he recommends the acclaimed The Life & Times of Colonel Blimp. This unconventional epic spanning the Second Boer War and both World Wars was helmed by the Archers (Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger), and starred Roger Livesey, Anton Walbrook, and Deborah Kerr in knockout performances. Jake, with little in his 1943 arsenal, asked Brad to watch Disney's Saludos Amigos. But since it's more of a tourism ad than it is a movie, Brad took the opportunity to rank all 61 Disney Animated Features released at the time of this recording, from Snow White to Strange World. Other movies mentioned in this episode: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Pinocchio (1940), Fantasia (1940), Dumbo (1941), Bambi (1942), The Three Caballeros (1944), Make Mine Music (1946), Fun and Fancy Free (1947), Melody Time (1948), The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949), Cinderella (1950), Alice in Wonderland (1951), Peter Pan (1953), Lady and the Tramp (1955), Sleeping Beauty (1959), One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961), The Sword in the Stone (1963), The Jungle Book (1967), The Aristocats (1970), Robin Hood (1973), The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977), The Rescuers (1977), The Fox and the Hound (1981), The Secret of NIMH (1982), The Black Cauldron (1985), The Great Mouse Detective (1986), Oliver & Company (1988), All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989), The Little Mermaid (1989), The Rescuers Down Under (1990), Rock-a-doodle (1991), Beauty and the Beast (1991), Aladdin (1992), The Lion King (1994), Pocahontas (1995), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), Hercules (1997), Mulan (1998), Tarzan (1999), Fantasia 2000 (1999), Dinosaur (2000), The Emperor's New Groove (2000), Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001), Lilo & Stitch (2002), Treasure Planet (2002), Brother Bear (2003),Home on the Range (2004), Chicken Little (2005), Meet the Robinsons (2007), Bolt (2008), The Princess and the Frog (2009), Tangled (2010), Winnie the Pooh (2011), Wreck it Ralph (2012), Frozen (2013), Big Hero Six (2014), Zootopia (2016), Moana (2016), Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018), Frozen II (2019), Raya and the Last Dragon (2021), Encanto (2021), Strange World (2022)

2023 is cutting the line so that we can get in on the hype train. Brad Garoon and Jake Ziegler discuss the cinematic phenomenon that is Barbenheimer. Technically, this fits the rules of the podcast and neither guy, nor anyone else in the world, had seen Barbie or Oppenheimer until now. Join them as they tackle the gorgeous set design, bombastic and cutting humor, and feminist throughline of Greta Gerwig's Barbie. What, you don't want to hear two middle aged men talk about feminism? Well that's all we have on offer. They also offer massive praise for the performances of Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and the rest of the Barbie cast. Then they dive into the triumph of Oppenheimer, how the rest of Christopher Nolan's career informed the film, what it was like watching the movie through a Jewish lens, and the technical and artistic achievements of the film. Movies mentioned in this episode: Chef (2014), The Truman Show (1998), Pee Wee's Big Adventure (1985), White Noise (2022), The Matrix (1999) Air (2023), A Serious Man (2009), Uncut Gems (2019), Following (1998), Memento (2002), Inception (2010), Dunkirk (2017), Tenet (2020), Molly's Game (2017), The Trial of the Chicago Seven (2020), The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943), Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (2023), 12 Angry Men (1957), The Last Duel (2021), Truman (1995), Killers of the Flower Moon (2023), Dune Part 2 (2023), Black Panther (2018), Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022).

This week we begin our two week look at Powell & Pressburger, otherwise known as "The Archers." First, we are looking into a film kicked off the Sight & Sound top 100, "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp."  We begin by looking at the wartime production of  the film, and the various bumps along the way to getting the film made. We also establish Powell & Pressburger's working relationship and the efforts to restore their works. Next, we dive into the plot of the film and finish by each pairing a film for two double bills. Thank you so much for listening!Created by Spike Alkire & Jake KelleyTheme Song by Breck McGoughFollow us on twitter @DoubleBillChil1 https://twitter.com/DoubleBillChil1Letterboxd: FartsDomino44

"Relentlessly joyful" is one of Mike and Dan's many attempts to articulate the feel and experience of watching The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943), Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's epic time-sweeping story about a good man caught in a changing world.  In this longer-than-usual episode, the conversation touches upon what's removed from the film, the importance of what remains, and how this indisputable masterpiece provokes not a single eye-roll as it inspires us to be morally courageous.  When's the last time a film did that for you?  Remember, the war starts at midnight, so start listening as soon as you can!  Please subscribe to the show wherever you get your podcasts and follow us on Twitter and Letterboxd @15MinFilm.  Please rate and review the show on Apple podcasts and contact us at FifteenMinuteFilm@gmail.com.  We take requests!  Incredible bumper music by John Deley.

Jackie and Greg aren't shy about their love for one of Powell and Pressburger's signature classics. Topics include the film's comic strip origins, the Archers' innovative storytelling and editing techniques, the powerful performances from Roger Livesey, Anton Walbrook, and Deborah Kerr, and why it still feels modern nearly 80 years later. Tune in to hear about their crushes on the lush Technicolor cinematography and the actors themselves.#93 on Sight & Sound's "The 100 Greatest Films of All Time" list.https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/greatest-films-all-timeCheck us out at our official website: https://www.sceneandheardpod.comJoin our weekly film club: https://www.instagram.com/arroyofilmclubJP Instagram/Twitter: jacpostajGK Instagram: gkleinschmidtPhotography: Matt AraquistainMusic: Andrew CoxSpecial Thanks: Kathryn Ferentchak

What better way to follow up last week's raunchy comedy than with an epic profile of a complicated soldier in the Powell & Pressburger classic The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. Does this movie take shots at the British army through the title character's unwavering committment to tradition and morality? How dangerous was it to talk about Germany's justified anger in 1943? Was this secretly a progressive film for women? And none of you will be shocked when you find out the idenity of the man being 'mocked' during this whole ordeal!

Alex Ptak talks the life and loves of Colonel Candy in Powell and Pressburger's The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp.

Mit diesen beiden Filmen durchleben wir ein cineastisches Ying und Yang. Wir verzweifeln am Overkill filmischer Referenzen inmitten eines wirren Horror-Netzes, werden von Colonel Blimp mitten ins Filmherz getroffen und werden sprachlose Zeugen des Unterganges einer vergangenen Welt.

What makes a First World War film ‘obscure’? This month Chris, Angus and Jessica discuss some lesser-known films set during the First World War.  Along the way, we consider national stereotypes, the dangers of a Dawn Patrol drinking game, the brilliance of Basil Rathbone, the role of the individual in wartime and the greatest honour a French officer can bestow on a British serviceman.

The brothers test out their improv skills, make fun of each others name, and talk about the great British director Michael Powell, and the Archer collaboration that gave us films like "The Red Shoes", "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp", and "Peeping Tom."

On the fifth episode of Shite & Sound, Finn and Uther watch ‘The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp' (1942), a film that treats warfare as a competition to see who can be the most British, and ‘Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning' (2012), a film that constantly reminds you that humans are indeed made of meat. What makes an anti-war film? Lists of English names. What is the line between an Exploitation film and an exploitative film? Uther gets a bit lost while Finn is a bit too happy talking about crazy violence. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

With the 40th anniversary re-release of Mike Hodges’s Flash Gordon into cinemas at the end of the month, Matthew Sweet is joined by guitarist Brian May for a look back on the film's groundbreaking score composed by Howard Blake and Queen. Matthew also takes a timely look back across the decades at music for films that have taken their inspiration from comic strips and comic books. Featured films include 'Modesty Blaise', 'Dennis the Menace', 'Popeye', 'Addams Family Values', 'The Peanuts Movie', and 'The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp'; 'The Belles of St Trinians', 'Barbarella', 'The Perils of Gwendoline' and 'Tamara Drewe'; 'The Adventures of Tintin', 'Dick Tracy' and of course 'Flash Gordon'. The Classic Score of the week is Franz Waxman's music for the 1954 Arthurian inspired adventure epic, 'Prince Valiant'. And the programme also includes music from the newly released video-on-demand feature, 'The Old Guard' - based on a 2017 comic book by Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernandez and featuring a new score by Dustin O'Halloran and Volker Bertelmann.

The Life And Death Of Colonel Blimp(1943) directed by Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger. General Candy (Roger Livesey), who's overseeing an English squad in 1943, is a veteran leader who doesn't have the respect of the men he's training and is considered out-of-touch with what's needed to win the war. But it wasn't always this way. Flashing back to his early career in the Boer War and World War I, we see a dashing young officer whose life has been shaped by three different women (all played by Deborah Kerr), and by a lasting friendship with a German soldier. Godard is Candy. This is The Recommendation Game, a bi-weekly podcast where two film lovers take turns to recommend a film the other has not seen, they watch and then skype to discuss it. Spoilers are a given. We are Ricardo Deakin and Orla Mc Nelis, two filmy types who love waffling extensively about movies.

World War Two set British filmmakers a challenge: to be relevant and entertaining and to inspire without patronising. Powell and Pressburger brought wit and imagination to their task, questioning what Britain stood for, warts and all. Notoriously, Churchill hated The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. But many ordinary cinema-goers were grateful for The Archers' poetic patriotism, in this as well as in A Matter of Life and Death. Britishness redefined in the stress of war is the theme of this lecture.A lecture by Ian Christie, Visiting Professor of Film and Media History 11 NovemberThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/matter-of-britainGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

Bison — incinerates D.C. while en route to extorting billions of dollars from the government via his battleship theft scheme.

Brad Strauss of Director's Club joins Collin and Kerry for this discussion of "Batman Returns," Tim Burton's summer blockbuster sequel with a twisted nature and clear influences of German expressionism that would never see the light of day today.

Also, Kerry talks about "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" (1920), "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp" (1943) and "Beverly Hills Cop" (1984) for the "We Just Say Book" segment.

Chegou a hora de acertar o alvo com mais uma filmografia de respeito e dessa vez Alexandre e Fred convocam Willian de Andrade para discutir a obra de Michael Powell e Emeric Pressburger. Conhecidos na Inglaterra como “Os Arqueiros” (The Archers), o inglês Powell e o húngaro Pressburger tiveram uma prolífera colaboração, na qual assinavam roteiro, produção e direção juntos. Na década de 40, foram responsáveis por alguns dos grandes clássicos britânicos, como “Coronel Blimp: Vida e Morte” (The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, 1943), “Neste Mundo e no Outro” (A Matter of Life and Death, 1946), “Narciso Negro”(Black Narcisuss, 1947) e “Os Sapatinhos Vermelhos” (The Red Shoes, 1948). Inspiração para cineastas como David Lean e Martin Scorsese, o trabalho da dupla é sem dúvida um dos melhores exemplos de colaboração da sétima arte. ----------------- Acesse nosso site: http://www.filmesclassicos.com.br Acesse nosso grupo: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1475312462775785/ Nos procure no seu aplicativo de podcast do celular, no Spotify, YouTube, Anchor ou iTunes.

Es geht um eine Lebensgeschichte, aber nicht die des titelgebenden Colonel Blimp, denn der ist nur eine Cartoon-Figur, aber eine, die 1943 jeder kennt. Stattdessen ist Blimp das Klischee, das wir im alternden General Candy sehen (sollen) – eine Strategie, die sich durch den gesamten Film ziehen wird. Michael Powell und Emeric Pressburger sind eines der wichtigsten Regie- und Drehbuch-Teams des britischen Films, Meister des Technicolor und des locker-wirkenden, aber komplexen filmischen Erzählens. Genau dies dürfen wir in diesem Film betrachten: eine weitgreifende Erzählung, wechselnd in Genreoptionen und Stil, zugleich mit einer genauen Figurenzeichnung, die die große Geschichte der Zeit spür- und erlernbar macht. Bei all seinem Humanismus ist LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP auch ein sehr gutes Beispiel für den britischen Propagandafilm dieser Zeit, aber einer, der klar macht: auch England ist keine Nation des Gentleman-Kriegs oder der wahren oder guten Kriegsführung, auch wenn Candy dies für sich so wahrnimmt. Ein Antikriegsfilm? Nein, denn es wird unterstrichen, dass der Nationalismus besiegt werden muss, gerade auch weil er nicht aus dem Nichts kommt.

All Gas and Gaiters, predominantly farcical in nature, was set in the close of the fictional St Ogg's Cathedral and concerned various intrigues and rivalries among the clergy. The "gaiters" in the title refers to part of the traditional dress of bishops and archdeacons. The title itself, however, is a reference to a well-known phrase from Charles Dickens' 1839 novel Nicholas Nickleby, later used by P. G. Wodehouse and by Powell and Pressburger (spoken in the film The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp), although it had at that time a different meaning. The bishop was easygoing; his friend the archdeacon was elderly, tippling, and still appreciative of attractive women; and the bishop's chaplain was naïve and accident-prone. Their wish to live a quiet bachelor life was continually threatened by the overbearing dean, who tried to bring by-the-book rule to the cathedral.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Gosford Park. Moonrise Kingdom. The original cast of You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. These might seem like wildly different projects, but they have one man in common: actor Bob Balaban. Balaban is one of the consummate “hey, it’s that guy!” actors. His name might not immediately ring a bell (unless you, like me, love to keep track of all the great character actors), but the second you see his face or just hear his voice, you’ll instantly know who he is. He’s been working steadily on stage and screen for 50 years, and he’s also written and directed his own projects. (Heck, Gosford Park emerged from an idea he had.) If you love good movies and television, you’ve become well acquainted with Bob Balaban. His newest project is Condor, a spy thriller on the DirecTV Audience Network. Balaban is exactly the sort of person you wouldn’t expect to pop up in a series so high-octane. It's all the more delightful that he’s there, seeming like the quiet, sensible one amid all the foot chases and action sequences. He joins Todd to talk about his long, illustrious career, and just why it was time to finally play a spy. Show notes: The actor Balaban is talking about in The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp is Anton Wolbrook. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In unserer mittlerweile 79. (regulären) Folge haben wir uns des Epos' "Leben und Sterben des Colonel Blimp" angenommen. Das kongeniale Duo namens Michael Powell und Emeric Pressburger drehte seinen ersten Film in Technicolor mit einer Länge von etwa zweidreiviertel Stunden Laufzeit. Trotz dieser gigantischen Ausmaße haben wir versucht, uns dem Werk zu nähern. Neben Regeln und Ordnung, Humor und Bitterkeit blicken wir auch auf Freundschaft und vergehende Jahre.

Wer ist Colonel Blimp und wie wurde er zu dem? Diese Frage und viele mehr versucht das Regisseur-Duo Powell und Pressburger zu beantworten. Wir versuchen auf alle einzugehen und beschäftigen uns auch mit den Problemen eines vermeintlich klischeehaften britischen Films. … Weiterlesen →

Welcome back, loyal listeners.  In this podcast, Andrew and Phil talk about the new Seth Rogen-James Franco-Jay Baruchel-Jonah Hill-Craig Robinson-Danny McBride vehicle, "This Is The End."  This horror-comedy is a refreshing take on the somewhat stale Apatowian comedies that have glutted the multiplex for the past several years.  Our aforementioned lovable goons find themselves faced with none other than The Apocalypse, and they must make gut-wrenching life or death decisions, such as who gets to eat the last Milky Way.  Open your ears and your mind to try and guess the song parody that Phil sings at the beginning of this episode.  "This Is The End" kept Phil and Andrew laughing and they hope you tune in to decide if this film is worth your $10+ box office dollars.The usual suspects...You can download the podcast here by right-clicking on that link and choosing "save as", or you can use the convenient player located below:For the 'AA' Criterion Corner, the dynamic duo review "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp", a sumptuous Technicolor cinematic feast from 1943 that has been championed by such contemporary directors as Martin Scorsese and Wes Anderson.  The film is also considered by many to be the greatest British film ever made, so naturally, Phil and Andrew had to review it.  Legend has it that Winston Churchill himself tried to stop production of this wartime tale.  The film follows 40 years in the life of the titular character, a stiff-upper-lip British soldier.  As you history buffs know, when this film was released, London was getting blitzed by the Nazis, and "Blimp" portrays a supporting German soldier character in a highly sympathetic light.  This enraged Churchill, but it's a credit to the British democracy that filming was allowed to continue, and now we have a great film as a result.  Overall the film examines the shift in British military values from the Boer War to World War II, and poignantly shows how Blimp's tactics of fighting a "gentleman's war" became obsolete in the face of the Nazi terror.  This is another film we hope you check out, although it couldn't be more different from "This Is The End"!A silly hats party, perhaps?Tune in next week for the second half of this episode when Phil and Andrew review a seminal film by the Coen Brothers and a recent documentary by warrior-poet, Werner Herzog.
