Send us a textFriends of EddieThe second 1x1 feature rounding out Season 14 and, chosen by Jack, the film is THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE (1973). Directed by Peter Yates, whose career TGTPTU is unlikely to cover in a future 4x4 despite having Krull and Bullitt in his credits, TFOEC is an adaptation of George V. Higgins' inaugural novel and notable as a unromanticized depiction of crime in artistic response to The Godfather, the Puzo book and Coppola film each preceding, respectively, the book and movie versions of TFOEC by one year. Higgins would take issue with the book as his debut novel. The former deputy assistant attorney general claimed to have written and burned 14 novels over 17 years prior to TFOEC and would go on to author over 30 books, both fiction and nonfiction before his fatal heart attack in 1999, but none with the impact of his first. As seasonal guest host Jack points out, nearly all the dialogue in the film is as it is on the page, and the pages are dripping with dialogue that creates the setting and action for this ironic story of “friends” who double-cross and live less than glamorous lives as Irish mobsters and criminals in Boston. Yates populates the film with faces, faces that we don't see much anymore, distinct faces and every one telling a story, from the titular Coyle plated by Robert Mitchum who earlier in this life reluctantly left the assembly line to be an actor to actor Alex Rocco who starred as Moe Greene in The Godfather and helped Mitchum meet some of his old criminal friends whom Rocco had to leave behind after he (the actor Alex Rocco) was held for questioning in relation to the murder that kicked off the Boston Irish Gang War of the 1960s to James Tolkan before he'd lost his hair a decade prior to portraying Principal Strickland in the Back to the Future movies and Detective Hugh Lubic in the Cannon Films classic Masters of the Universe. For this episode, everyone did research: Jack and Thomas pair off for book report; Ryan covers the career of Mitchum; and Ken covers Yates and laments how now Hollywood lacks hacks as well as provides a new shaggy dog with The Pals of Charlie Brown. Make sure to wipe your prints clean on this one before listening with a friend.

The Ringer's Amanda Dobbins joins Lauren on the pod to discuss one of their shared interests: Sofia Coppola. Together, the duo interrogate Coppola's relationship with fashion, on- and off-screen: her incredible influence on modern aesthetics, her impact on the industry, and why she's personally important to them. (As true professionals, they also tried their best not to be too sycophantic. They may or may not have failed.)

To mark the passing of the great Gene Hackman, the writer and critic Sean T. Collins and the cartoonist and graphic novelist Julia Gfrörer are my special guests for a deep dive into one of our favourite films, Francis Ford Coppola's The Conversation (1974).The Conversation was groundbreaking in terms of film editing; when Coppola was pulled away to direct The Godfather Part II, editor Walter Murch had to streamline a narrative out of an incomplete film shoot and synthesized new approaches to picture editing and sound design which he credited to studying Hackman's precise performance as the surveillance expert Harry Caul, a lonely middle-aged man whose Catholic guilt and past sins begins to weigh on his conscience as he obsesses over his latest spycraft job, plagued with worry over the fate of the young couple he's recorded and what the tape will be used for by his sinister corporate client. We discuss the autobiographical details Coppola lent to the characterization and Jungian psychoanalysis that can be applied to the content, some of our favourite moments, and how the themes of The Conversation continue to resonate with audiences over half a century later.

Benvenuti in un lungo, estenuante e sorprendente cinema realizzato da un artista sognatore e spesso segnato dalla sfortuna ma che non si è mai arreso. Stavolta è il turno di Francis Ford Coppola. Il diabolico produttore Robert Evans colpisce ancora e Coppola finisce a dirigere un film potenzialmente accattivante ovvero "Cotton Club". Spaccato storico ricostruito nei minimi particolari e girato con la solita professionalità del regista, "Cotton Club" è un film degno delle sue ambizioni? A voi scoprirlo.

Benvenuti in un lungo, estenuante e sorprendente cinema realizzato da un artista sognatore e spesso segnato dalla sfortuna ma che non si è mai arreso. Stavolta è il turno di Francis Ford Coppola. "I ragazzi della 56esima strada" fu una boccata d'aria per Coppola ma il nostro non ha mai rinunciato alla sfide e quindi adatta un'altra storia dell'autrice S.E. Hinton ma opta per uno stile decisamente più...particolare. Il risultato è il fin troppo bistrattato "Rusty il selvaggio".
This week, we're tearing up the baseboards and getting funky on the saxophone as Gene HackMarch rolls on with a Coppola classic surveillance thriller that he snuck in between Godfathers. It's 1974's The Conversation, written, directed and produced by Francis Ford Coppola and starring Gene Hackman, John Cazale, Harrison Ford, Allen Garfield, Cindy Williams, Frederic Forrest, Teri Garr and Robert Duvall. Needless to say, Hackman is terrific at the heart of an essential 70s paranoid thriller -- though is it really paranoia if you know your fears are true? His Harry Caul is a meticulous professional, a cunning and inventive man who is very good at his work having to reckon with the evil that work may bring in to the world. And can even the best spies really tell good from bad when they only have a piece of the picture? It's a great movie, and a first time watch for both hosts. Plus: J Mo's been to the theatre so we've got a full discussion of Mickey 17, and Hayley's finally captured her great white whale VHS tape. If you'd like to watch the movie before listening to our discussion, The Conversation is currently streaming on Criterion Channel at the time of publication (and can also be found in full for free on YouTube). Other works discussed on this episode include E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial, When Harry Met Sally..., MouseHunt, Sneakers, Runaway Jury, Enemy of the State, Kraven the Hunter, Madame Web, Morbius, Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Outsiders, Megalopolis, Dog Day Afternoon, Practical Magic, The Lives of Others, and a last minute Corrections Corner on Crimson Tide. We'll be back next week to close out Gene HackMarch with our monthly canon consideration, as this month we induct The Royal Tenenbaums into the hallowed halls of the pod-canon. It is currently streaming on Disney+, Crave, and Starz. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!
Filmada unos cuantos meses después del estreno de El padrino, La conversación había estado flotando por años en la cabeza de Francis Coppola; el destino quiso que fuera postproducida y estrenada mientras el caso Watergate estallaba fuera de toda proporción, rozando directamente el punto central del argumento: en una sociedad dominada por la paranoia, todo puede ser escuchado, visto, consumido y convertido en arma; nadie queda indemne, ni siquiera los vigilantes que ejecutan estas acciones. Inspirado por las lecciones impartidas por Blow Up (1966) y Klute (1971), Coppola comenzó dirigiendo una película acerca de la omnipresencia de la mirada, pero en el camino hizo evidente algo fundamental: por mucha información que el fisgón sea capaz de recoger, el sentido último del espionaje no es obtener más claridad sino agregar opacidad, incertidumbre, a la información recogida. Fundamental en este proceso es la figura del editor de imagen y sonido Walter Murch, quien a partir de ahí se convertiría en colaborador esencial del cineasta en aventuras como El padrino II, Apocalipsis ahora y otras obras maestras. La otra figura señera en esta empresa es Gene Hackman, quien vuelve a Harry Caul un personaje indeleble, suspendido en el vacío, condenado a escuchar al resto cuando sólo quiere alejarse de ellos. De eso y más se habla en este podcast.

This week on High Expectations, we sink our teeth into two gothic horror heavyweights! We review and compare the brand-new Nosferatu with the lavish, blood-soaked Bram Stoker's Dracula . How does Robert Eggers' vision stack up against Coppola's operatic take? Does the silent terror of the original Nosferatu (1922) still haunt our nightmares? And what about the novel that started it all?

In this episode, Masie & Stuart take a (imaginary) trip to Japan to examine the 2003 Oscar-darling film, Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation. The first part of a duology covering the divorce films of Sofia Coppola and Spike Jonze, our hosts find themselves treading in familiar Coppola-territory. How does this story of two priveleged people experiencing isolation and existential crises in Tokyo hold up today? Does Coppola portray the city and Japanese culture with care and sensitivity? The answers likely won't shock you based on her track record, but our hosts still find plenty to discuss and enjoy in the film's moody atmosphere and aesthetics.

El cine, como la novela, me ha permitido estar en territorios a los que nunca iré. Puedo quedarme rodeado de miseria y pobreza en lugares en los que nunca he vivido o estar en lujosos salones que para mí son tan raros como excepcionales. Creo que me sucede como a José Luis Garci, que leo las novelas como películas y puede que vea las películas como novelas. Por eso me decepciono cuando una novela que he leído se lleva al cine, porque la heroína que yo me había imaginado resulta que es una actriz de la vida real. Decía Rafael Alberti: “respetadme, he nacido con el cine”. Y por eso dedicó poemas a Chaplin, Keaton, Lloyd y a Laurel y Hardy. Respetadnos también a los que nacimos con Clint Eastwood, Jack Lemmon, Berlanga, Shirley MacLaine, Paco Raval, Brando, Coppola, Garci, Newman, López Vázquez o la Loren. El cine era una liturgia semanal y, por tanto, extraordinaria. Los lunes, en la escuela, comentábamos la película que habíamos visto el sábado o el domingo y, el martes, ...

With an introductory episode to her new season, "The Old Man is Still Alive," which covers the late careers of Alfred Hitchcock, John Ford, Howard Hawks, Vincente Minnelli and ten other directors who began their careers in the silent or early sound eras, and were still making movies in the 1960s, ‘70s and ‘80s, in spite of the challenges posed by massive cultural changes and their advanced age. In this mini-episode we'll discuss the parallels between this history and today, from the tech industry takeover of Hollywood to the late work of Coppola and Scorsese; the interview with George Cukor that inspired the title of this season; the Orson Welles-Peter Bogdanovich-Quentin Tarantino connection that informs the way we think about “old man” movies, and much more.

Given their shared source material, Robert Eggers' NOSFERATU and Francis Ford Coppola's BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA understandably have a lot overlap in terms of plot and character, but the two films are miles apart in their interpretation of that source material, particularly as applied to its titular vampire. We're of split opinions on Eggers' bleak, monster-forward characterization of Orlock, especially how it plays against NOSFERATU's ideas about female desire and sexuality, but agree it provides a fascinating counterpoint to Coppola's florid spin on the Count as a tragic romantic antihero. We examine that contrast further in Connections alongside other character parallels — the Renfields, the Van Helsings, the maidens fair — as well as how the two films' diverging styles each reinforce their filmmaker's take on the title character. And in place of Your Next Picture Show, we offer some impromptu reflections on the life and work of David Lynch, who died the day this episode was recorded. Please share your thoughts about BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA, NOSFERATU, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

According to Larry David, it is much too late to still wish you a happy new year. Since January has felt a million years long and many of us are yearning to press that RESET button, I'm breaking all the rules and wishing you a good start to 2025! It was a delight to chat with Kate Gersten, screenwriter of "The Last Showgirl." Kate originally conceptualized the story for the stage while studying playwriting at Juilliard. As a play, THE LAST SHOWGIRL was optioned for Broadway and the West End, but never went further as the team could never find the perfect, “Shelly.” After spending years in a drawer, Kate brought the script to Gia Coppola, who got the script to Pamela Anderson directly. In their first table read, Pam said every line exactly how Kate had heard them in her head all those years earlier. Tune in as we discuss her playwright beginnings, the kismet of marrying into a legendary film family, and the importance of leading roles for women over the age of 50. xx Carolina
All of the nearly three hundred episodes we've done so far have been enthusiastic celebrations of artists whose work we admire so greatly that we had to invent a podcast to talk about it. But in this very strange episode, we talk about a film so awful in so many ways that we are baffled by how it came from the same man who directed four unquestionable masterpieces in a row. The Rainmaker (1997) is–and we mean this without irony–a fascinating film that does everything that films like The Conversation and The Godfather Part II avoid. It works on paper: there's Coppola, of course, but also a bestseller as its source material, Matt Damon, Claire Danes, Mickey Roarke, Danny DeVito, Jon Voight, Danny Glover, and (inexplicably) Roy Scheider. But even Sheriff Brody can't kill this beast. Rather than offer a litany of complaints, we talk about the concept of a “shadow movie”: the movie that could have been, the one lurking beneath the film we actually see. This is the only episode in which we don't follow our usual three-part structure, because we didn't know if we'd be releasing this one. But we think that we can learn more about films from even one as terrible as this. If you're interested in the source for Coppola's film, you can find the novel here.

Rather than offer a litany of complaints, we talk about the concept of a “shadow movie”: the movie that could have been, the one lurking beneath the film we actually see. This is the only episode in which we don't follow our usual three-part structure, because we didn't know if we'd be releasing this one. But we think that we can learn more about films from even one as terrible as this. If you're interested in the source for Coppola's film, you can find the novel here.

The heightened gothic sensibility of Robert Eggers' new NOSFERATU recalls — in its intensity if not its precise contours — BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA, Francis Ford Coppola's feverish 1992 horror-romance that follows the same story from a markedly different perspective. This led us to reconsider Coppola's flawed but fascinating DRACULA as a film that, even if it arguably never achieves greatness, inarguably leaves an impression. Yes, Keanu Reeves' accent is part of that impression, but so is the film's grandiose art design, its recasting of Dracula as a tragic romantic antihero, and its overall commitment to cinematic maximalism, for better or worse. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA, NOSFERATU, and anything else in the world of film by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

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.

Hey Next Picture Show listeners, sorry there's no new episode in your feed today. Real life got in the way of podcast life and prevented us from recording our next pairing in time to release it this week. But we will be back next Tuesday with part one of our double feature comparing Robert Eggers' new Nosferatu with Frances Ford Coppola's own take on Bram Stoker's Dracula from 1992. If you're playing along at home, the former is in theaters now, while Coppola's Dracula is digitally rentable from the usual outlets, and available in an array of physical-media releases to purchase — or perhaps check out from your local library. We hope you'll enjoy both movies, and join us next week as we sink our teeth into this pairing. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
In this episode, JF and Phil examine the myth of the vampire through the lens of Robert Eggers' latest film, Nosferatu, a reimagining of F. W. Murnau's German Expressionist masterpiece. Topics covered include the nature of vampires, the symbolism of evil, the implicit theology of Eggers' film (compared with that of Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula), the need for shadow work, as well as the power of real introspection and self-sacrifice.

A preview of the new season of You Must Remember This, which covers the late careers of Alfred Hitchcock, John Ford, Howard Hawks, Vincente Minnelli and ten other directors who began their careers in the silent or early sound eras, and were still making movies in the 1960s, ‘70s and ‘80s, in spite of the challenges posed by massive cultural changes and their advanced age. In this mini-episode we'll discuss the parallels between this history and today, from the tech industry takeover of Hollywood to the late work of Coppola and Scorsese; the interview with George Cukor that inspired the title of this season; the Orson Welles-Peter Bogdanovich-Quentin Tarantino connection that informs the way we think about “old man” movies, and much more.
