This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew returns to discuss the Mike Leigh's 2024 Comedy-Drama film, "Hard Truths." The story follows the plight of a depressed and nay-saying woman (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) and the relationship with her jovial sister Chantelle (Michele Austin). Conversations on family trauma, generational impacts, and mental health are at the crux of this film, and our discussions around it.

Most of us would probably agree that learning lessons is an important part of our life experience. However, at the same time, most of us would also likely concur that we seldom know what those lessons will be, what their messages are or how they will be delivered. Could they emerge from the circumstances that appear? Will they stem from the people who cross our paths? Or could it be in some other way entirely? Find out more in a review of the charming new, fact-based comedy-drama-memoir, “The Penguin Lessons,” on the next edition of The Cinema Scribe.

Comedy - Drama based on true events of an Afghan Army Vet. Merit (Sonequa Martin-Green) has a complicated relationship with her deceased and very irreverent friend Zoe (Natalie Morales). This film brings levity, humour and some tears to universal veteran struggles

Many of us these days are experiencing a certain inexplicable unsettledness with our lives, a constant sense of frustration and restlessness that seems to defy explanation – or resolution. Because of those conditions, we may also find ourselves becoming increasingly aggravated, with our fuses growing progressively shorter. And, no matter what we might do to try and address these circumstances, it often feels like nothing works, that the irritation is perpetual and unrelenting. As a consequence, coping becomes virtually impossible as we struggle to find a way to keep going, circumstances all too familiar to a middle-aged British housewife in her attempts to keep from losing it.

The search for self is a process that many of us believe we complete when we come of age. However, as we often later discover, it's something we need to revisit as the circumstances of our lives evolve. In fact, we might find that this is an ongoing, life-long process that requires continual vigilance and assessment. That can be confusing, if not disconcerting, particularly if we assume we've arrived at all the answers we need at an earlier stage of life. Find out more in a review of the engaging new comedy-drama, "A Real Pain," on the next edition of The Cinema Scribe.

There are many ways we can live our lives, but the one quality that most of us strive for is to find out what makes that existence – and, consequently, us – great. We frequently encounter many fits and starts, and, no matter what “progress” we might like to think we're making, we're still often plagued by doubt and second-guessing. So how do we ultimately arrive at a definitively fulfilling answer to this question? Find out more in a review of the insightful new sci-fi comedy-drama, "Omni Loop," on the next edition of The Cinema Scribe.

An old saying maintains that we can pick our friends but not our family. But is that really so? It might seem that way at times, especially in situations where we struggle mightily to get along with them and put up with their annoyances and quirks. However, one could also contend that the individuals we incarnate with are present in our lives to help us learn valuable lessons in areas like cooperation and forgiveness. Admittedly, those often aren't easy undertakings, but how else might we address these issues if by not being put through tests like these?

In dieser neuen Folge von Napalm am Morgen - Der Filmpodcast erwartet euch eine bunte Mischung aus aktuellen Filmthemen und Kultklassikern, bevor wir uns in die Sommerpause verabschieden und am 04. Oktober mit frischem Content zurück sind! Zunächst sprechen wir über den kommenden Pinocchio-Horrorfilm. Ja, ihr habt richtig gehört – der berühmte Holzjunge betritt düstere Pfade. Wir diskutieren, was uns in dieser gruseligen Interpretation des Klassikers erwartet und wie er sich von bisherigen Pinocchio-Verfilmungen unterscheidet. Weiter geht's mit einem Blick zurück auf die Oscars 2008 – ein Jahr, das einige der bedeutendsten Filme unserer Zeit hervorbrachte. Darunter befinden sich Meisterwerke wie "No Country for Old Men", "There Will Be Blood", "Atonement", und "Juno". Wir analysieren, warum diese Filme bis heute in Erinnerung geblieben sind und welche Einflüsse sie auf das moderne Kino hatten. Wir werfen einen Blick auf "Incoming" (2024) auf Netflix – ein energiegeladener Partyfilm, der das wilde Leben junger Menschen und ihre Abenteuer auf einer exzessiven Party porträtiert. Zwischen ausgelassener Stimmung, Musik und dem Chaos der Nacht zeigt der Film die Höhen und Tiefen des Feierns und die Dynamik zwischen Freundschaft, Freiheit und Selbstfindung. Und dann gibt es noch "How to Have Sex" auf Amazon Prime, ein Drama, das sich mit den Herausforderungen und Erfahrungen der Jugend befasst und tief unter die Haut geht. Zum Abschluss werfen wir einen Blick auf "Dream Scenario" mit Nicolas Cage. In diesem skurrilen Comedy-Drama taucht Cage in die Träume von Menschen ein – doch das hat unvorhergesehene Konsequenzen. Ein Muss für alle Fans von schwarzem Humor und surrealen Geschichten. Seid gespannt auf spannende Diskussionen, tiefgehende Analysen und jede Menge Filmtipps, bevor wir uns in die wohlverdiente Pause verabschieden.

In an age where personal accountability has become increasingly hard to come by, it's comforting to know that it's never too late to grow up. Granted, willingly assuming responsibility for our actions and attitudes may not always be easy, pleasant or fun, but it's something we all must ultimately do, no matter how much we may not want to. Once we do, however, we may discover aspects of ourselves that we never knew about. Find out more in a review of the new indie comedy-drama, "Late Bloomers," on the next edition of The Cinema Scribe.

According to playwright David Mamet, “Age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance.” The kind of wisdom that comes from life experience can be tapped and put to use in many ways, particularly when others try to pull the wool over the eyes of those who've been around for a while and have had ample opportunity to stockpile such seasoned and shrewd sagacity. And, when that aptitude is combined with the personal confidence necessary to make a difference in situations where justice is clearly called for, the wrongdoers should take heed.

When answers are elusive, we often become frustrated that we can't find them. That can be especially aggravating when the sought-after solutions are meant to address particularly difficult questions. We're thus left wondering what to do. However, at times like these, we often resort to embarking on physical or spiritual journeys to tangible or metaphorical destinations that are believed to possess special qualities that serve as sources of inspiration and enlightenment.

Have you ever been scammed? So much of our world is full of fake news, fake people, and fake things. But who would have ever thought that the largest fake ID empire in North America could be invented by two teenage girls in West Vancouver, British Columbia? That's the theme of the show Fakes - an American-Canadian television comedy/drama series, which premiered in 2022 on CBC Gem in Canada and Netflix internationally.The series stars Emilija Baranac and Jennifer Tong as Zoe and Rebecca and premiered September 1, 2022.Each episode is portrayed from the perspective of one of the two young women, making use of the unreliable narrator technique as their respective viewpoints sometimes contradict each other. Richard Harmon, who plays the supporting character Tryst, highlighted this aspect of the show as a fun creative opportunity for him as an actor, because it allowed him to play more than one variation on the character, based on the differing views of his character in each of the main characters' perspectives, instead of having to maintain a single consistent characterization.The cast also includes Eric Bempong, Wern Lee, Matreya Scarrwener, Lauren K. Robek, Dylan Sloane, Mya Lowe, Ryan Mah, Emily Leung, Cindy Piper, Devon Slack, Oliver Rice, Debbie Podowski, Roraigh Falkner, Devon Alexander and Toby Hargrave.The show was nominated for Best Comedy and Best Picture Editing in a Children's or Youth Program or Series. David Turko, creator, and writer and I met on the red carpet at this year's Canadian Screen Actors Awards where I interviewed him about the challenges of writing comedy and what's next for him.

Episode 1010 Answering the big question...should I see this movie? Babylon (Comedy, Drama, History) Sodom and Gomorrah might be a more appropriate title for a film all about excess and depravity. Babylon charts Hollywood's golden age and the transition from the silent era to talkies. It does so primarily through the eyes of a bona fide star, a girl from the wrong side of the tracks intent on making it, a lowly errand boy who gets an unexpected break, a shameless and talented lesbian and an African-American jazz trumpeter.

Michael Dunn is enrolled at St. Basil's, a strict all-boys Catholic school. His grandmother is determined to see him fulfill his parents' dream of him joining the priesthood. Dunn befriends Caesar, an overweight, bespectacled student who enjoys reading and excels academically. Caesar helps Dunn catch up with the rest of the class, but because of their association, foul-mouthed bully and school troublemaker Ed Rooney pranks Dunn outside of the soda fountain across the street from school.   After Rooney pulls a prank on Caesar, teacher Brother Constance attempts to get Dunn to identify the prankster by striking Dunn's open palms with a paddle. Fed up with Dunn's refusal to rat out the perpetrator, Constance shoves him to the floor. Dunn lunges towards Rooney and the pair are separated. Dunn and Rooney are sent to the office of the headmaster, Brother Thadeus. Rooney, impressed by Dunn's refusal to snitch, attempts to patch things up between them, but Dunn wants nothing to do with him. After school, Rooney tells Dunn that if they do not become friends, he will have to continue in his harassment in order to save face. Reluctantly, Dunn befriends Rooney and his friends, sex obsessed Williams and naive Corbett. Dunn also befriends Danni, a teenaged girl who runs the soda fountain across from the school and cares for her mentally infirm father. Danni's fountain shop is raided numerous times by the Brothers, who wish to catch St. Basil's students misbehaving. The raids leave the shop in a shambles. After one raid, Dunn helps Danni clean things up, sparking a romance.    At the sacrament of confession, Caesar enters the confessional, but Father Abruzzi becomes preoccupied with another student's misbehavior. Rooney enters the priest's booth and hears Caesar's confession, giving him the penance of befriending Rooney and making sure he gets passing grades. As a result, Caesar tutors and befriends Rooney. The relationship between Dunn and Danni further develops, culminating in a kiss under the boardwalk at the beach. One day, during one of the Brothers' routine raids, Danni takes a stand and locks them out. The Brothers leave, but later contact social services. A few days later, Dunn and his friends see police cars and a few of the Brothers surrounding the soda fountain door as Danni's father is led out in handcuffs. Dunn rushes in and finds that social workers are preparing to take Danni away. A shaken Dunn takes Danni in his arms. Weeping, she wants him to promise that he won't be sad over her departure.    An angry Rooney develops another prank with the help of Caesar, Williams and Corbett to get back at the Brothers for having Danni taken away. The boys sneak onto school grounds at night and cut the head off the statue of St. Basil. During a school assembly the next day, Rooney presents Dunn with a duffel bag containing the missing head. Brother Constance sees the bag and accosts the boys into the gym, where Constance hits Corbett and Williams with a leather strap in an attempt to extract a confession for the vandalism. Caesar presents Constance with a doctor's note, presumably to exempt him from corporal punishment. Constance drags the cowering Caesar to the floor, beating him with the strap. Dunn angrily shoves Constance to the floor and then flees, with Constance and the other boys following him. The chase ends in the auditorium during the assembly. Constance backhands Dunn and calls him a bastard. Dunn then retaliates by delivering an uppercut to Constance, knocking him to the floor and causing pandemonium as the student body rises to its feet and cheers. Thadeus suspends all five boys for two weeks. He then presents Constance, who he claims started the altercation, with an order that he be transferred to another assignment where he will not work with children. The five boys walk out of the school downtrodden, but then joyfully realize that they will not have to attend school for two weeks.  TOP 5 Facts 1: Film debut of actors Kevin Dillon, Patrick Dempsey, Stephen Geoffreys, Yeardley Smith, and Maggie Wagner2: Nancy Cartwright and Yeardley Smith both appeared in this movie years before they were both cast as the voices of Bart Simpson and Lisa Simpson respectively.3: The working title of "Heaven Help Us" was "Catholic Boys". The latter became the film's actual theatrical release title in such territories as Europe and Australia.4: Modern audiences may be shocked at the nude swim class depicted in the film, but this was fairly common at the time. Because swimming pools didn't have adequate filtration systems, the American Public Health Association (APHA) required male public school students to swim nude between 1926 and 1962. However, since many schools were unable to afford the upgrade to their filtration systems, this tradition continued in some areas until the 1980's.5: The name of the Catholic religious order was the real-life Order of St. Basil aka the Order of Saint Basil the Great, who was born in 330 AD and died in 379 AD. **TRIPLE LINDY AWARD** **REVIEW AND RATING**Trey 1 beerChris 1.5Stephen 2Tucker TOP 5Stephen:1 Breakfast club2 T23 Sandlot4 Color out of space5 Mail order brides Chris:1. sandlots2.

This week on The Treatment, Elvis welcomes actor Bob Odenkirk, star of “Better Call Saul,” which is in its final season on AMC. Odenkirk also wrote the memoir “Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama” about his long and ultimately satisfying career in television. Next, Bomani Jones, host of HBO's “Game Theory with Bomani Jones,” talks about the challenge in having nuanced conversations about the intersection of sports and culture. And finally, on The Treat, “Rutherford Falls” co-creator Sierra Teller Ornelas talks about the impact of the film “The Godfather” on her as a storyteller.

A synopsis of the play is given in the introduction.... It is a very good story, but what makes it very special is that it stars Jack Benny and his real life spouse, Mary Livingston. (Photo 1938). Jack and Mary did not do a lot of programs outside his LOOOONG career on radio and television... but they were his shows. Agreeing to star in a Lux Radio Theatre and one Suspense episode was a big deal for Jack and Mary, but also drew a huge audience and lots of sponsor money for NBC. This track will live in the "Comedy" playlist on Soundcloud.com... where the podcast originated.

近期被影迷深爱的神剧"风骚律师"/"Better Call Saul"接近尾声，最后一季将于今年8月完结。作为该剧的主演，将Jimmy McGill (or Saul Goodman) 鲜活呈现在观众面前的Bob Odenkirk也在今年3月推出了自传: "Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama"。在书中，Odenkirk用了大段篇幅回顾了自己作为一名喜剧人的从业经历，细数了自己的过往作品，最后只留下不到两章介绍让他功成名就的"Breaking Bad"和"Better Call Saul"。今天这期我们就和大家一起聊聊Bob Odenkirk的喜剧人生，以及"Better Call Saul"这部当今美剧天花板。另外，Vince Gilligan曾提到自己已经看完这本自传，但没意识到还有Odenkirk亲自朗读的有声版，于是决定再去听一遍。所以，强烈建议大家有机会去听这本书的有声版。 Bob Odenkirk部分出镜作品:"The Larry Sanders Show": https://youtu.be/PIkDpaO85pg"Seinfeld": https://youtu.be/ZsV0uIsuEmo"Curb Your Enthusiasm": https://youtu.be/plrtX555eoA"How I Met Your Mother": https://youtu.be/kW1MdqGyTwU"Arrested Development": https://youtu.be/ek6C3z76NGE"The Office": https://youtu.be/MEkro427WjU试镜"The Office": https://youtu.be/DNg2PsMyE0U"Fargo": https://youtu.be/DrkNvU5XY9g SNL: 1988年Tom Hanks开场 (和Conan): https://youtu.be/Cet0yHhDcJUSNL: "Hi Bob" (和Chris Farley): https://youtu.be/vh9pZWCd8MULate Night With Conan O'Brien: 2003年: https://youtu.be/RWf2P9pdoBIThe Ben Stiller Show: "Manson": https://youtu.be/Z5IrRe2F7qYMr. Show: "Audition":  https://youtu.be/2CIgWX1J_s8Mr. Show: "Law School" (和BCS里的哥哥Chuck: Michael McKean): https://youtu.be/a6P3mIJcvtYMr. Show: "Lie Detector": https://youtu.be/VdIDwYW_JZgW/ Bob & David: 被删掉的: https://youtu.be/8CIRP36fyM4   Breaking Bad: 第二季第8集: "It wasn't me it was Ignacio (Nacho), did Lalo send you?": https://youtu.be/VWYQN4E4qr0

Join our hosts for the 63rd best picture winner and western epic, Dances with Wolves. Despite having all the trappings of a great western, Dances with Wolves managed to dissappoint. The expansive score and top-notch visuals just couldn't make up for the flat writing of our main character's arc and the heavy reliance on the white savior trope.

Peace By Chocolate will be featured as a spotlight film at the 10th Annual Annapolis Film Festival.  Today, we hopped on the phone with Director, Jonathan Keijser to discuss the film and the festival. Tickets And Passes Available Here. The Annapolis Film Festival opens on Thursday, March 31, 2022 and runs through Sunday, April 2, 2022. Synopsis: PEACE BY CHOCOLATE SUNDAY, 4/3 | 2:30 PM MARYLAND HALL | MAIN THEATER Life for refugees means losing everything — home, history, and family. Issam Hadhad (played by the late great Hatem Ali) is the best chocolatier and “happiness-maker” in Syria but, when his factory is bombed, the family flees to start a new life in the frozen hinterlands of Antigonish, Nova Scotia. His son, Tareq, an aspiring medical student, wants to resume his studies and become a doctor but is torn between a Western culture that values individualism and his Muslim upbringing, where tradition and allegiance to the family are deeply rooted. This touchingly poignant film about beginnings and endings tells the real-life story of the Hadhad family striving to make sweet dreams come true with their new taste of freedom in a Canadian community and culture where everything begins to feel possible. (Canada, 2021, 96 min., Comedy/Drama, In English & Arabic with subtitles) Have a listen!

Bob Odenkirk's timing and comic persona animate this inward-looking memoir. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile contributor Alan Minskoff discuss Odenkirk's narration of his story, where his Chicago accent and whip-smart sense of humor permeate his reading. He narrates and writes his work with a self-conscious wit, and his audiobook is a candid story of “try, try, and try again” told with panache and a boatload of insider riffs. Best known for his fine work as Saul Goodman, the likable sleaze on “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul,” Odenkirk's memoir is funny and revealing. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile's website. Published by Random House Audio.
