This week on Born to Watch, we head into Prohibition-era Chicago for The Untouchables 1987 Review, revisiting Brian De Palma's stylish gangster classic starring Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, Robert De Niro and Andy Garcia. It's cops, Capone, Tommy guns, questionable accents, immaculate suits and enough testosterone to make this one of the great 1980s sausage fests. More importantly, this special episode is dedicated to our great mate Chupperz, who requested the film. Chupperz, this one is for you.Released in 1987, The Untouchables takes us into the battle between federal agent Eliot Ness and Chicago crime boss Al Capone. Kevin Costner plays Ness as the ultimate straight-laced good guy, determined to bring Capone down legally, at least until Chicago starts teaching him that playing by the rules might not be enough.Enter Sean Connery as Jimmy Malone.Connery won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the role, and the boys spend plenty of time discussing whether he is also the real star of the movie. Malone brings the experience, attitude, and gravitas Ness needs, along with one of the best approaches to law enforcement ever put on screen. If they pull a knife, you might want to start thinking about bringing something slightly more substantial.Then there's Andy Garcia as George Stone, young, ridiculously cool, deadly accurate and sporting enough back hair to qualify as an additional cast member. Garcia doesn't need many lines to make an impression. He simply turns up, looks cool and shoots people with an accuracy that would make most action heroes jealous.And then we get Bobby De Niro.Robert De Niro goes full method as Al Capone, putting on the weight and delivering a wonderfully smug, intimidating performance. The problem? Whitey wants more of him. A lot more. The discussion turns to whether The Untouchables missed an opportunity by keeping Capone relatively limited, instead of giving De Niro more screen time and letting the film explore both sides of the battle.There's also plenty of love for Brian De Palma's direction. This movie is packed with memorable filmmaking, from brutal moments of violence to beautifully constructed suspense. The famous Union Station sequence remains the standout, slowly tightening the tension before everything explodes. Even if the boys have a few questions about that pram, the woman carrying it, the strangely busy midnight railway station and why nobody thought to give her a hand.The episode also digs into Ennio Morricone's brilliant score, one of the elements that immediately gives The Untouchables its identity. The music is bold, instantly recognisable and a massive part of why the movie still feels so cinematic decades later.Of course, this is Born to Watch, so respectful film analysis only lasts so long.The boys question continuity problems, Sean Connery's Scottish take on an Irish accent, Frank Nitti's questionable escape plan, Capone's all-in-one grooming experience, Costner's white-knight energy, and whether a piece of paper listing bribed jurors would really be enough to send a courtroom completely sideways.There's also the usual trip through The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Snorbs Report, Film School for F-Wits, quotables, trivia and the random tangents that somehow turn a discussion about a Brian De Palma gangster movie into conversations that have absolutely no right being there.But beneath all the piss-taking is genuine appreciation for a movie that still looks fantastic. The costumes, locations, production design and old-school filmmaking give The Untouchables a scale and atmosphere that remains impressive nearly four decades later.Is Costner charismatic enough to carry it? Is Connery actually the MVP? Should De Niro have been given far more screen time? Is the Union Station shootout still one of the great action sequences of the 1980s?And most importantly, where does The Untouchables eventually land in the sacred halls of the Born to Watch Rank Bank?You'll have to listen to find out.JOIN THE CONVERSATIONThink The Untouchables is an untouchable 1980s classic? Let us know your favourite scene, character and quote. And if you've got a movie you think deserves the full Born to Watch treatment, send it our way. Just remember, as Chupperz discovered, getting your movie selected also means giving the boys permission to absolutely tear it apart.Born to Watch, the Movie Review Podcast where we don't take the movies, or ourselves, too seriously.#TheUntouchables #TheUntouchables1987 #BornToWatch #MovieReviewPodcast #KevinCostner #SeanConnery #RobertDeNiro #AndyGarcia #BrianDePalma #80sMovies

James Bond may have found his next 007, and the name at the center of the buzz is Jack Lowden. Before the internet caught up, this episode was already calling the shot, connecting the Slow Horses star to the most famous role in spy history.A mysterious DM tipped the hosts off more than a year ago, and now that same idea is suddenly exploding across X and film circles. The conversation gets into why Lowden is gaining momentum, why the timing feels different now, and how this pick could reset Bond after Daniel Craig.You'll hear the case for Jack Lowden alongside the other names that have been floated for years, including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Idris Elba, Michael Fassbender, and Cillian Murphy. The hosts also break down why a Scottish Bond matters, why Lowden's red-carpet Omega looks are fueling the speculation, and whether his turn as River Cartwright makes him a believable successor to Connery.We also get into the bigger questions underneath the casting rumor: what makes a Bond work, whether the “loser spy” image of River Cartwright can transform into the world's coolest secret agent, and how Slow Horses could become a strange kind of Bond prequel in spirit.If you care about James Bond, casting rumors, or the kind of prediction that ages from “interesting” to “called it,” this is the one to hear before the rest of the internet moves on it.Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCThLu7wlygPt3VuHdSRHArQ/join

He's Not Canon, But He's Bond: Revisiting Never Say Never AgainWelcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Show. Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell welcome special guest Pete Wright of Trustory.fm to dig into Never Say Never Again (1983), the unofficial Bond outing that dragged Sean Connery back into the tux via one very petty lawsuit.The trio wrestles with this film's odd status: no John Barry theme, no Aston Martin, yet a leading man everyone insists is somehow the definitive 007 anyway. That push-pull between “unofficial” and “essential” drives the talk, especially once conversation turns to how this Connery stacks up against every other Bond.From there it's conversation fuel: a laser watch treated like scripture, a shark chase that may have inspired an Austin Powers bit, and a supporting cast the hosts can't stop gushing over, including a memorable early film role. Very-1983 touches keep things loose.It lands somewhere warm and a little chaotic, fitting for a movie that sits in a contested corner of a franchise everyone loves arguing about. Nothing here spoils the plot, so newcomers and completists can listen freely.LinksTruStory FM | Membership (early, ad-free access + bonus content): Join | Socials: Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | Learn more about the hosts: Neighborhood Comedy Theatre | Squishy StudiosIf you could keep just one gadget from this movie for yourself, which would it be? ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a 2003 steampunk superhero flick that pulls characters from the first volume of Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's comic series - though honestly, the plot goes off in its own direction and barely resembles the source material. Stephen Norrington (of Blade fame) directed it from a screenplay by comic book and sometime-screenplay writer James Dale Robinson, and the cast includes Sean Connery, Peta Wilson, Naseeruddin Shah, Tony Curran, Stuart Townsend, Shane West, Jason Flemyng, and Richard Roxburgh. It's notable for being Connery's last role in a theatrically released live-action movie before he retired in 2006 (he passed away in 2020). Trevor Jones handled the score.

How did Dr. No transform Sean Connery from a self-described rough diamond into the most sophisticated action hero in cinema?In the first episode of Dressing James Bond, London bespoke tailor Roberto Revilla examines the costumes, tailoring and carefully chosen details that established James Bond's style in 1962 and created a blueprint the series is still following more than sixty years later.Beginning with Connery's iconic entrance at the casino in his midnight-blue dinner suit, Roberto explores the influence of director Terence Young, the tailoring associated with Anthony Sinclair's Conduit Cut and the complicated history behind the shirts, suits and suppliers credited with creating Bond's wardrobe.Along the way, we examine the grey flannel suit that was completely wrong for the Jamaican climate, the lightweight Glen check and mohair suits that worked far better, Bond's navy doeskin blazer, Turnbull & Asser cocktail cuffs, grenadine ties, black Derby shoes and the powder-blue polo shirt and matching trousers worn on Crab Key.We also look beyond Bond himself to explore Dr. No's Nehru-style clothing, the way costume is used to take control away from Bond inside the villain's lair and the collaborative story behind Ursula Andress's famous Honey Ryder bikini.Most importantly, Roberto brings everything back into the real world and asks what men can still learn from Dr. No without dressing as though they're heading to a James Bond fancy-dress convention.Is Connery's midnight-blue dinner suit still the greatest first appearance in film-style history?

Gene and Dick hit a milestone — episode 501 — and they're celebrating by going back to the '90s with Jean-Claude Van Damme's passion project, The Quest. Commissioned by Steven M. as part of the Month of Steven, this 1996 martial arts adventure finds Van Damme not just starring but directing — and the results are... surprisingly ambitious. In this episode: Is The Quest Bloodsport in 1925, or Van Damme's Indiana Jones? Gene and Dick can't agree. Roger Moore shows up and completely steals the movie. Dick makes a controversial case that he may have been a better Bond than Connery. The tournament fighters are real martial artists — and it makes all the difference. Van Damme is obsessed with his legs. His eyes. And apparently, silk underwear. The orphans were definitely dead by the third act. We ran the timeline. What did the note say? This is the question that may never be answered. Also in this episode: a listener reports that someone trained AI on Big D's voice to sell knives on TikTok, the guys lock in two months of Spooktacular horror films, Beastmaster gets commissioned, and next week brings a summer camp classic from 1979.

This week, 3 Guys in a Flick are reporting for duty with Goldfinger, the 1964 Bond classic where Sean Connery fully locks into 007 mode and the franchise formula turns to solid gold. From Shirley Bassey's unforgettable theme song to the Aston Martin DB5, Oddjob's deadly hat, Goldfinger's over-the-top villainy, and the legendary Fort Knox finale, the guys break down why this film became the blueprint for generations of Bond movies. They discuss the film's massive blockbuster impact, Guy Hamilton's influence on the Bond/Q dynamic, standout performances from Connery, Gert Frobe, Honor Blackman, and Harold Sakata, and whether the movie still earns its golden reputation today. Expect spoilers, trivia, gadgets, gold paint, questionable villain decisions, pacing debates, and plenty of shaken-not-stirred banter as Don, John, and Ken take aim at one of the most iconic entries in the James Bond franchise.

We return to the world of James Bond with Connery's second outing and arguably his and the franchise's best. We also discuss a bit about the new Bond game First Light and a bit about the current Playstation State of Play and Xbox Showcase.

Mike White May continues with more Sean Connery, except this time it's fake news and he's the one selling it in Wrong is Right. Starring Connery as Patrick Hale, a globetrotting news muckraker who gets involved with all the US letter agencies in a game of intrigue and murder. It's less fun than it sounds which is a real shame given the Connery of it all.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support.

We're talking Diamonds Are Forever in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. It's the last Sean Connery Bond film (at least officially), with the actor returning after Lazenby left the role, and... well, it's a very Connery film. That's not really a good thing.

Master Sgt. Nick Connery of the Missouri Army National Guard breaks down a notable rebound in recruiting across the St. Louis and St. Charles regions, highlighting how his team surpassed annual enlistment goals for the first time in years and is on pace to repeat the performance. He points to COVID-era restrictions as a major disruption that limited school access and community outreach, while explaining how recruiters have since adapted by shifting focus toward junior colleges, trade pipelines, and workforce engagement. Connery details the structure of Guard service as a flexible “citizen soldier” model—basic training followed by monthly drill weekends and annual training—emphasizing how it allows service members to maintain civilian careers while still supporting both domestic missions and national defense.

Corruption, crime, and Connery—diving deep into De Palma's classic.In this episode of Review It Yourself, we break down the first half of The Untouchables—the iconic Prohibition-era crime thriller directed by Brian De Palma. Joined by co-host Sarah, we explore the film's powerful opening act, its larger-than-life characters, and why this stylish gangster epic still commands attention nearly four decades later.From the tense cat-and-mouse battle between federal agent Eliot Ness and Chicago crime boss Al Capone, to the unforgettable performances by Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, and Robert De Niro, we unpack what makes this film such a standout in the gangster genre. Is it the script? The score? The mythologising of law enforcement? Or Connery's scene-stealing gravitas?Expect thoughtful film analysis, sharp opinions, historical context around Prohibition-era Chicago, and a discussion about how Hollywood reshapes real-life events into cinematic legend. Whether you're a long-time fan of classic crime dramas or discovering this film for the first time, this episode offers insight, debate, and plenty of appreciation for one of the 1980s' most celebrated gangster movies.We discuss:The film's themes of justice, morality, and myth-makingThe dynamic between Ness and MaloneDe Palma's directorial style and use of tensionPerformances that elevate the materialHow The Untouchables compares to other mob classicsIf you love deep-dive movie reviews, classic cinema breakdowns, and honest film discussion, this episode is for you.Please Note: There are direct quotes used in this review, which include the use of contextual slurs/stereotypes. These are used purely as quotes from the film and to aid discussion, as the film's dialogue reflects the bigoted, harsh atmosphere of 1930's Prohibition-Era Chicago.

Fox was dead - and he responded. DeHuff explains how TV networks have tributes built for when big name celebrities pass away. So naturally, DeHuff had to give you a sneak peak into what his tribute would have in it.A 300-million-year-old tentacled sea creature has lost its crown as the world's oldest octopus, after scientists found evidence that it's not an octopus at all. Too bad Connery messed up this story.If you live in New York, you could get a job sniffing dogs' breath, and documenting it.

Show Notes: Miles and Charlie are climbing a mountain, why are they climbing a mountain? Is it to meet God? The Devil? Their approaching mid-life crises? Whichever, we have now approached the 199th and 200th episodes of Trek on Our Big List and we are celebrating, if not in style, then with a movie- Star Trek V The Final Frontier to be exact. But before that, we have a little animated amuse-bouche with ‘The Magicks of Megas-Tu' where the Enterprise meets the Devil and Miles realises that for him, his adventure with Trek has brought him back to the beginning. Will he confront his pain or does he need his pain? Row Row Row your Boat.Episodes Discussed: Mystics of Megas-Tu (17:50) and Star Trek V-The Final Frontier (44:52)TALKING POINTS INCLUDE: The Scrubs reboot, Spider-Man 2, the issues with Marvel's use of Ultraman, why did Miles' mum have a crush on David Cassidy? Ed Bishop, the weird mystical stuff of Star Trek, Spock's nerdy use of magick, Bones' probably would go Matthew Hopkins in this situation, Miles' early memories of Star Trek was weird, how did this get past the US censors? The Shatnerverse starts here, Klaa looks like a Klingon Bill Bailey, a criminal waste of David Warner, when the comedy does and doesn't work, Shatner just having a nice little run around, do Vulcans have goths? Sybok is too pathetic to be played by Connery, you sometimes need to tell your audience if you're doing a subtext, was Uhura brought along specifically for naked fan dance? Charlie talks about his root canal, Why did the audience not like this film? Thankfully Sybok was not made the next Khan, familial cannibalism, is our 200th episode of Trek covered better or worse than our 1st, The Cage? How has John Lithgow not been in Star Trek? (Especially instead of that wizard show)

Were the Colorado Rockies used as a confidence booster/slump buster for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic? Connery thinks so. Stefon Diggs was released by the New England Patriots - maybe because he (allegedly) strangles people. California State University, Bakersfield hired a basketball coach, who was also a pimp. Mike Evans of 104.3 The Fan (Denversports.com) said Gabe Landeskog is a giant disappointment. Was he right or wrong? And how does Peyton Manning fit into this conversation? Will the Denver Broncos trade away Jarrett Stidham? Apparently there's several teams that want him. And would the Broncos be fine with JK Dobbins as their running back, again?

This week, Shat The Movies heads to Prohibition-era Chicago with Brian De Palma's The Untouchables, a glossy crime epic that somehow combines operatic violence, moral absolutism, and one of the most iconic staircases in movie history. Featuring Kevin Costner at his most upright, Sean Connery at his most Oscar-winning, and Robert De Niro going full scarface-with-a-bat, this film has long been considered a prestige gangster classic—but does it still earn its reputation? Gene and Big D break down Ennio Morricone's unforgettable score, De Palma's shameless love of excess, and whether Costner's Eliot Ness is compelling or just aggressively boring. Along the way, they revisit Connery's scene-stealing mentor role, De Niro's cartoonishly menacing Al Capone, and the film's "history-as-vibes" approach to law enforcement. Is The Untouchables a towering crime masterpiece—or just a stylish collection of unforgettable moments stitched together with slow-motion hero worship?

We share the ultimate post-Christmas blues remedy: a trip to Elizabeth A. Morton National Wildlife Refuge in Sag Harbor, NY, where chickadees, titmice, and woodpeckers eat seeds straight from your hand in the snowy quiet—described as magical, healing, and the true "opposite of addiction."Dave addresses backlash from replaying Nick Reiner episodes (including harsh comments like "Narcissist Grifter" and "Exploitative Jew"), explains his intent to share old conversations without commentary, notes new listeners discovered Dopey through them, and mentions turning down media interviews. He plugs ad-free listening on Patreon (patreon.com/dopeypodcast) and urges positive iTunes reviews.Listener Emails (Oldies Read Aloud)Wendy: Proposes a dedicated recovery-focused social media platform to avoid bans for "junky" content.James D.
