Diese Woche bei Oscars & Himbeeren:“Marty, Life Is Short” ist eine wunderbar herzliche Dokumentation über einen der unterschätztesten Entertainer Hollywoods, die nicht nur den Humor von Martin Short feiert, sondern auch die leisen Zwischentöne seines Lebens sichtbar macht; “Legends” wiederum verbindet klassischen britischen Crime-Thriller mit überraschend viel Atmosphäre und Figurenstärke und zeigt, dass Netflix immer noch Serien produzieren kann, die spannend und stilvoll sind; “Nuklearer Notfall” schafft das Kunststück, aus einer realen Katastrophe eine intensive, menschliche Miniserie zu machen, die gleichermaßen erschüttert und fesselt; und “Ran” (1985) von Akira Kurosawa bleibt ohnehin eines der größten Kinoepen aller Zeiten, ein visuell überwältigendes, emotional tiefes Meisterwerk, das bis heute nichts von seiner Kraft verloren hat.Oscars & Himbeeren - wie immer: schonungslos auf den Punkt gebracht.Hört rein!Wenn euch der Podcast gefällt und ihr tiefer einsteigen wollt, findet ihr auf Substack weitere Texte, Porträts und Filmkritiken vonRonny Rüsch – Filmkritiker.

Chosen by Chris, Heat arrived in 1995 as Michael Mann's grand, granite-jawed crime epic: a nearly three-hour Los Angeles thriller with the emotional temperature of a fridge full of loaded handguns. Produced by Mann and Art Linson, the film brought together Al Pacino and Robert De Niro on-screen for the first time, backed by a frankly ridiculous ensemble including Val Kilmer, Jon Voight, Tom Sizemore, Ashley Judd, Amy Brenneman, Wes Studi, Mykelti Williamson and Ted Levine. With a reported budget of around $60 million, this was not some cosy little cops-and-robbers caper; it was prestige crime cinema wearing an expensive suit and staring silently out over the freeway.Mann shot Heat across Los Angeles with an obsessive eye for real streets, glass towers, night skies and urban loneliness, giving the city the feel of a living, humming machine. The production became famous for its realism, its meticulous preparation and its muscular sense of place, while the film went on to earn strong reviews, solid box office returns and a lasting reputation as one of the defining American crime films of the 1990s. Its influence can still be felt in modern heist films, police thrillers and brooding men looking meaningfully at skylines.Trailer Guy Plot SynopsisIn a city where every streetlight hides a secret, one master thief lives by a code: never get attached to anything you cannot walk away from in thirty seconds flat.But when a relentless detective begins closing in, two men on opposite sides of the law discover they may understand each other better than anyone else ever could. One hunts. One runs. Both are trapped by the lives they chose.This winter, Los Angeles becomes a battlefield of loyalty, obsession, coffee, suits, guns, and the sort of emotional repression that can only be solved by staring across a table like two divorced panthers.Fun FactsHeat was adapted from ideas Michael Mann had explored years earlier in his 1989 TV film L.A. Takedown.The character Neil McCauley was inspired by a real criminal pursued by Chicago police officer Chuck Adamson.Despite both appearing in The Godfather Part II, Pacino and De Niro did not share scenes in that film, making Heat their first proper on-screen pairing.The famous diner conversation was shot with multiple cameras to capture both actors' performances naturally.The film's long runtime meant its original VHS release had to be split across two tapes, which feels deeply appropriate for a film this committed to being massive.Dante Spinotti's cinematography uses natural and practical lighting to give the film its cool, metallic Los Angeles atmosphere.Kate Mantilini, the restaurant used for the iconic meeting scene, later closed in 2014.Christopher Nolan has cited Heat as an influence on his approach to Gotham City in The Dark Knight.The film's weapon handling and shootout sequences are often praised for their realism and have become a benchmark for crime-action filmmaking.MUSICCheckout the parody music from the show on Spotify here.Support the ShowIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon here.If you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

Michael Mann's Heat On this week's episode we celebrate our 600th episode with a look at one of the most important films of our generation, Michael Mann's Crime-Thriller, Heist Film, Masterpiece . . . the coming together of two of the greatest and most important actors of their generation, Al Pacino as Lieutenant Vincent Hannah and Robert DeNiro as Professional Criminal Neil McCauley in 1995s Heat. This week we talk the film, but as always the film is simply a jumping off point for a greater undestanding, in the case an understanding of 1990s culture, the crime genre, brilliant acting and direction, and our own personal growth and attachment to the ideas, warnings, and lessons of this exceptional film. A modern day criminal tragedy which re-invents a story that has been told thousands of times and somehow manages to make all things fresh and unique. With a brilliant cast including the aforementioned DeNiro and Pacino, but also Wes Studi, Ted Levine, Mykelti Williamson, Diane Verona, Tom Sizemore, Danny Trejo, Amy Brenneman, William Fichtner, Ashley Judd, Hank Azaria, Natalie Portman, Henry Rollins, John Voight, Kevin Gage, Bud Cort, a heartbreaking Dennis Haysbert, and a brilliant Val Kilmer, Michael Mann's Heat is a beautifully rendered, heartbreaking crime tragedy that feels real, lived in, and timeless. And yeah . . . we spend a good amount of time on that scene - one of the greatest ever filmed. Take a listen and let us know what you think. As always we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com.

Welcome to another episode of Death Don't Do Fiction, the AIPT Movies podcast! The podcast about the enduring legacy of our favorite movies! This February we're continuing our new “Fast February” series, where we cover the movies that made Vin Diesel a star and taught the world to live their lives one quarter mile at a time, The Fast & Furious franchise! In this week's episode, Alex, Tim, and returning guest Bill Mueller discuss 2003's awkward attempt to recapture the magic of the surprisingly successful first movie, 2 Fast 2 Furious! An incredible title! Those silly visor hats! Pepsi and NOS product placement! Trying to pick up girls during a dangerous undercover mission! A Sound Designer-approved audio mix! Loud, somewhat gaudy visuals thanks to that clumsy early thousands aesthetic! A possible influence on the Wachowskis' Speed Racer movie! A larger budget but a less tangible story with somehow even cringier lines! A third act you'll barely remember! The introduction of characters who would go on to be staples of the series! John Singleton trying his hand at directing a silly blockbuster! Race obstacles that would lead to expensive automotive repairs! A great car jump stunt that's wasted due to poor editing and unnecessary visual effects! A cast that includes a returning Paul Walker, James Remar, Eva Mendes, a pre-Yellowstone Cole Hauser, Mark Boone Junior, Devon Aoki, Ludacris, and Tyrese Gibson starting out as somewhat of a Dom Toretto wannabe before finding his character as the movie goes on! The entry of the series with possibly the least sense of "family," you never realized you could miss Vin Diesel so much! In addition, Alex shares his spoiler-free thoughts on Crime 101, Psycho Killer, and the original Hunger Games quadrilogy!

Strong performances across the board (mostly), with Matt and Damon carrying the movie on pure chemistry. The tension and mistrust felt real, and the mystery of who was dirty was actually engaging — the clues were there if you paid attention. Action is solid but nothing special. Where it stumbles: the movie points too hard at one suspect, killing some of the suspense. The “based on true events” angle feels shaky with stuff that seems impossible to get away with. It also runs a bit long, and Teanna Taylor felt miscast in a role that needed someone more natural and low-key. #MovieReview #Thriller #FilmTalk #MysteryMovie #CrimeDrama #WeekendWatch #MovieNight #therip #Mattdamon #benafflec

In this episode of The Clean Slate Video Club, we break down Caught Stealing, Darren Aronofsky's latest crime thriller, digging into its grimy tone, morally messy characters, and the way it blends dark humor with sudden violence. We talk performances, Aronofsky's stylistic fingerprints, and whether the film feels like a return to his earlier, rougher work or something entirely new. Along the way, we unpack what the movie is really saying about desperation, survival, and the cost of trying to get ahead when the system is already rigged. Spoilers are discussed, so consider yourself warned.#TheCleanSlateVideoClub#CaughtStealing#DarrenAronofsky#MoviePodcast#FilmPodcast#MovieDiscussion#FilmAnalysis#CrimeThriller#NewMovies#PodcastEpisode#MovieReview#FilmTalk

It's finally here! We actually recorded this episode live at Bramble Fest 2025, and we're joined by Brian and Patrick to dissect the 2025 Lifetime thriller The Little Girl Who Lived.ABOUT THE LITTLE GIRL WHO LIVEDWhen rising crime novelist Alice reveals her childhood abduction in a new book, the killer returns-kidnapping her sister and demanding she rewrite his legacy before cancer takes him for good.AIR DATE & PLATFORM FOR THE LITTLE GIRL WHO LIVEDOctober 5, 2025 | Lifetime ChannelCAST & CREW OF THE LITTLE GIRL WHO LIVEDBrittany Bristow as Alice KerriganMarcus Rosner as Detective EthanDirected by Dylan PearceBRAN'S THE LITTLE GIRL WHO LIVED SYNOPSISThe movie kicks off with a girl running out of a cabin and hiding. From what? From whom? While running through the woods, her necklace falls off. A bald dude who's following her picks it up. The little girl makes it to a path and runs into a woman who's jogging. She says, “Don't let him find me.”Cut to author Alice Kerrigan at a reading for her new book. A megafan is asking questions, and Alice drops a bombshell — her next book is going to be a firsthand account of her time with a serial abductor, The Strigoi, who kidnapped her as a kid.This guy has never been caught, but Alice believes that by now he's too old to pose a threat and finally feels ready to tell her story. But between the creepy megafan and her big announcement, Alice gets a bit jumpy.Her cop sister comes to pick her up (very late, FYI), and they finally get to spend some time together. Her sister isn't thrilled that Alice doesn't paint the cops in a positive light in her books — and she's really not thrilled to find out Alice plans to publicly share her story. They get into an argument. It's not great.That night, Alice wakes up to banging and booming outside her room. She grabs a lamp that's lying nearby and goes to investigate. She gets downstairs and — surprise — the house has clearly been burglarized. Stuff is everywhere. But then she discovers the necklace she dropped in the woods as a kid, next to a note attached to a brick:“You don't know my story well enough to tell it. Maybe she will.”Clearly, it's The Strigoi. Speaking of Strigoi, I know we all know what that means, but let's say it together:“Strigoi, in Romanian mythology, are troubled spirits said to have risen from the grave. They can transform into beasts, become invisible, and gain vitality from the blood of their victims.”Yes, thank you.Back to the movie: the police show up. Detective Marcus Rosner doesn't believe her story, nor does he believe it's The Strigoi. He points out that she announced her new book today, and that probably made her cop sister mad, drink too much, and leave.So it's up to Alice to figure this out herself. She examines the brick and sees a number: 55868.As Alice is walking around trying to find out more about the brick, she bumps into the megafan, Claire. She immediately decides to open up to her (for reasons I don't understand) and tells her what she's working on — and the megafan is PUMPED.Claire pulls up a blog that lists three suspects for The Strigoi:Dr. Adrian Blake – doctor for three of the missing girlsCharles Mercer – bad guy, convicted of other crimesThe Trenchcoat – a mysterious figure often seen by the railroad tracksAlice is sure it isn't Dr. Blake because he's dead. She's not super sure about the other two but agrees to investigate.They find Charles Mercer playing chess. He was convicted of some icky stuff back in the day, but he claims he didn't do any of it. He suspects someone from the Italian restaurant where he used to work was up to something shady and says she should look there.So they go to investigate. Megafan Claire talks to the owner while Alice pokes around in the back. She finds a box that looks important, but the owner hears her snooping and chases her off. Don't worry — she gets away with the box, no problem.They look at who was working with Charles at the time and zero in on a name: Stephen Gray. That leads them to his family home, which has some weird stuff out back — a bunch of dirt, her sister's shirt, and skeletal remains of animals buried there. It's almost like he wanted her to find it.They go to talk to the woman who used to live there — Stephen's mom — now in a nursing home. She says some things about Stephen that make Alice think they might be onto something. Alice also starts to suspect Claire may be up to something after she randomly bails mid-conversation.When Alice gets home, Detective Marcus Rosner is there. They talk; she tells him about Stephen. They hug (all above board), and then a brick gets thrown from inside the house through the window — something I don't think has ever happened in the history of film. They go in, and no one's there.Alice starts digging into Claire online, through the same forums Claire had shown her. She has a revelation when she sees a photo of a missing girl named Charlie.The next day, Alice is supposed to meet Claire but doesn't show. Claire storms off, furious. Alice follows her by car. It takes her to a cabin in the woods. Alice goes to open the door and has a vivid memory of running out that very door as a child. It's the cabin.She sneaks inside, and more memories come flooding back. As she's creeping around, Claire catches her. Alice calls her Charlie — which makes Claire freak out.She screams, “You don't know how badly you leaving affected him!”Turns out, after Alice escaped, he kidnapped Claire/Charlie and kept her there. She's been there ever since. She yells, “I'm his wife now! We had a ceremony and everything!”The plan was for Claire to get close to Alice, then lure her back to the killer. We also learn he's very sick and clearly dying.Claire attacks Alice and almost strangles her but lets go before Alice passes out — then breaks down crying.Stephen Gray comes downstairs. Alice runs away, jumps in the car, and drives off before he can catch her — and before her sister can make it to her car.She gets pulled over and tells Detective Rosner everything about Stephen Gray. He promises to look into it.Alice hatches a plan. She goes to the pharmacy, knowing that Claire would likely show up to get new meds (because Alice took a vial with her). When Claire gets back to her car, Alice attacks — strangles her from behind, puts her in the back seat, and drives to Stephen Gray's.Stephen calls Claire's phone to find out where she is. Alice tells him, “I'll give you your medicine if you give me my sister.” He agrees to meet her at the rooftop garden — the same place he first kidnapped her.She calls Marcus (okay, Detective Hottie) and tells him what she's doing — that he can't stop her, but he can join her if he wants.They meet. Stephen explains that he wanted her to find all the information about him for her book — but also wants her to jump off the building with him so their stories will end together. Dark stuff.Detective Hottie shows up, Stephen coughs, and that gives Alice enough time to break free and push him off the building.They rescue her sister. Alice goes home and writes a letter to Charlie.One year later, her book is out — and Charlie shows up. They hug. Turns out, they co-wrote the book together.Yay for authors.

Weirdly, amazon added the subtitle "A Detective Mystery" to Small Mercies. When one of the best things about this book is that it's NOT a detective at the center. You all know this genre isn't my usual fare, but Lehane's historical focus, together with his excellent prose, and dialogue (plus plot, duh) made this so satisfying to dive into.
Send us a textIn this episode, I chat with my friend and fellow author interviewer, Sara DiVello. Sara is a thriller author, and creator and host of Mystery and Thriller Mavens, a popular author interview series and interactive Facebook group. We met at the San Diego Writers Festival and have since become friends. Sara's boundless energy and verve for life and literature are contagious. Sara is a gem!Have you ever stumbled upon the ruins of a castle in suburban America? For Sara DiVello, that chance discovery sparked a decade-long journey to uncover one of the Jazz Age's most fascinating unsolved murders.Sara shares the remarkable story behind her historical thriller, Broadway Butterfly. The book resurrects the forgotten 1923 murder of Dot King, a case that implicated one of America's wealthiest families and exposed the complex social dynamics of Prohibition-era New York.With candor and warmth, Sara reveals her own compelling journey from corporate burnout to published author. After a pivotal moment watching her mother face terminal illness, Sara confronted the question we all eventually face: if time were limited, would you spend it as you are now? This revelation led her to abandon her stable but unfulfilling career to pursue writing, with yoga teaching providing both financial support and the mental clarity essential for creativity.What makes this conversation truly exceptional is Sara's deep dive into her meticulous research process. Drawing from over 1,800 primary sources, she reconstructed not just the crime but the textured world of 1920s Manhattan—from the cigarette-littered floors of newspaper offices to the complex racial dynamics facing Black Americans who had migrated north. Her approach to writing characters outside her own experience, particularly Ella Bradford (a Black woman in 1923), demonstrates remarkable care and ethical consideration.Sara illuminates the eerie parallels between 1923 and today. "How much has changed and how little has changed," she observes, noting society's persistent fixation on controlling women's bodies and choices, and our collective reluctance to confront uncomfortable historical truths.Ready to discover why forgotten stories like Dot King's matter now more than ever? Listen now, and consider what voices from our past still deserve to be heard.Support the showThe Bookshop PodcastMandy Jackson-BeverlySocial Media Links

Audio Book Connection - Behind the Scenes with the Creative Teams
In this captivating episode of Audiobook Connection, host Becky Parker Geist sits down with sibling authors Jessica Beebe and Matt Barrows to explore the behind-the-scenes story of their gripping crime thriller, Muddy the Water. What began as a decades-old idea from Matt—sparked by a spooky drive to a small South Carolina newspaper—evolved into a suspense-filled novel brought to life by both siblings during the pandemic. Listeners will hear how a real-life job in journalism inspired a fictional identity theft, how a shrimp-boat-captain-coroner shaped crucial plot details, and how Jess and Matt navigated everything from sibling squabbles to bird species accuracy. With alternating perspectives of a cunning fugitive, determined detective, and ambitious young reporter, Muddy the Water is not only a tightly plotted thriller but a deep dive into the theme of identity—and whether anyone ever truly reveals their real self. Plus, discover the creative process behind the audiobook, narrated from three unique points of view, and their dream of adapting the story into a television series. It's a lively, funny, and inspiring look at family collaboration, creative persistence, and the unexpected paths stories take to find their voice.

James Comey is the former FBI Director turned crime novelist who has spent a career fighting organised crime and hostile threats to American democracy. In 2016 as head of the FBI, he reopened a previously closed investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails from her time as Secretary of State, which is still a divisive moment that many say helped define the election of that year. In July 2024 Comey came to the Intelligence Squared stage for our first ever event in Brighton, where he discussed the themes of his latest crime thriller Westport, a murder mystery set in the world of high finance, plus the future of US politics and why he thinks Kamala Harris is having a positive influence on the election of 2024. Joining Comey in conversation for this event was Josh Glancy, Editor of News Review at The Sunday Times. We are sponsored by Indeed. Go to Indeed.com/IS for £100 sponsored credit.
