Sara Goldfarb (Ellen Burstyn), a lonely widow, becomes obsessed with appearing on her favorite TV game show and resorts to prescription diet pills. Her son Harry (Jared Leto), his girlfriend Marion (Jennifer Connelly), and best friend Tyrone (Marlon Wayans) envision striking it rich as drug dealers, fueling their ambitions with heroin and amphetamines. As each character's dependency deepens, their utopian visions shatter, plunging them into a harrowing spiral of addiction and despair.Guest:Heather StewartThe Revisionist Almanac's Senior European Correspondent@heatherjstewart on IG, X, LetterboxdPreviously on Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979)Chapters:00:00 Introduction, Cast, and Background for Requiem for a Dream03:13 Welcome Back, Heather Stewart04:29 Heather's New Role06:37 A CLP Thank You to Heather and General Discussion16:25 The Quintessential Bottoming Out Movie20:11 First Impressions of Requiem29:27 Plot Summary for Requiem for a Dream30:22 What is Requiem for a Dream About?42:35 Did You Know?46:34 First Break48:34 What's Up with Heather Stewart?54:32 CLP Rankings - #50-4101:09:29 Best Performance(s)01:22:40 Best Scene(s)01:32:55 Second Break01:33:33 In Memoriam01:34:33 Best Lines01:37:26 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy01:45:49 The Stanley Rubric - Impact/Significance01:50:18 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty01:56:43 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness02:01:20 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability02:07:44 The Stanley Rubric - Audience Score and Final Total02:11:50 Remaining Questions for Requiem02:19:59 Thank You to Heather and Remaining Thoughts02:21:49 CreditsYou can also find this episode in full video on YouTube.You can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast).For more on the episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/requiem-for-a-dream-2000-ft-heather-stewartFor the entire rankings list so far, go to:

The penultimate horror film in Have You Ever Seen's 10th Annual Scary Movie Month was a blockbuster and an Oscar-winner. And that's unusual for the relentless and unsubtle director Darren Aronofsky. He isn't often rewarded so much for the chances he takes. This 693rd episode talks about how the intense Black Swan is women-centric, even as the women in it go through hell. Natalie Portman won Best Actress for playing a lonely ballet dancer who was deluded even before the movie started. Then after she gets the lead role in Swan Lake, she shows us levels of masochism, obsession and deep mental illness. Real versus imagined. Mila Kunis, Barbara Hershey and Vincent Cassell hit some home runs too, with Hersey eating it up as Portman's possessive and abusive mother. So put on your feathers and get ready for an episode all about the sordid and dangerous world of ballet. Well, Actually: Mother! wasn't a complete failure at the box office and Noah didn't do THAT badly worldwide. Be a sweet girl (or a sweet boy) and write a review of this or any other HYES episode. Rate it too (5 stars!). And subscribe to the show. The email address is "haveyoueverseenpodcast@gmail.com". The socials are “@moviefiend51” on the T and “ryan-ellis” on the B. If you spend time on Letterboxd, look for me as "RyanHYES". I tend to focus on modern movies (contrasting the M-O of this podcast) and will probably do a lot more reviewing there in mid-November and beyond.

Darren Aronofsky's films are about the body as battlefield — craving, decaying, reaching for redemption and collapsing under its weight. Requiem for a Dream (2000) is addiction as apocalypse, a symphony of repetition and ruin powered by Ellen Burstyn's tragic hunger for fame. The Wrestler (2008) trades chaos for quiet despair, with Mickey Rourke's washed-up hero chasing applause like a drug — a portrait of broken masculinity and fading glory. The Whale (2022) completes the cycle: Brendan Fraser's Charlie seeks forgiveness through reconnection with his daughter, eating himself alive to prove he still feels. Across all three, Aronofsky obsesses over self-destruction and the impossible longing to be seen again — by God, by the crowd, or by one's own child. His cinema is a study in human ruin: brutal, sacred, and endlessly reaching for grace.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

On the fifty- first episode of All the Film Things, my friend and ATFT regular, writer/ director Samy El- Kamel is back for an analytical discussion about Darren Aronofsky's 2000 psychological drama classic, Requiem for a Dream! This episode is spoiler- filled and contains explicit language.Darren Aronofsky's sophomore feature, Requiem for a Dream, continues to be talked about today yet it's a curious case as it's respected but beloved may not be exactly the perfect word. This film is often regarded as "the best film you'll never rewatch" due to its bleak but impactful ending. Requiem for a Dream follows four people, all connected to Harry Goldfarb (Jared Leto), who are striving to achieve their dreams in the most dangerous, self- destructing ways through their addictions. While Harry's mother Sara (Ellen Burstyn) tries her hardest to lose weight to look her best on television, he along with his girlfriend Marion (Jennifer Connelly) and friend Ty (Marlon Wayans) are addicted to heroin. The three of them hope to turn their ideas of being successful businessmen into a reality but the need for heroin persists. Though widely considered a psychological drama, Aronofsky considers this film an “urban horror film” in the sense that the film captures a dream that turns into a nightmare. This film is based on Hubert Selby jr's novel published in 1978 and Aronofsky was happy to involve Selby in the making of this film (he even makes a cameo towards the end!). Even though Requiem for a Dream is still celebrated today, the film only earned one Oscar nomination in the "Best Supporting Actress" category for Ellen Burstyn. Of all the films I have seen, there is nothing quite like Requiem for a Dream from the cinematography to the editing to its lasting impact which has made me eager to devote an episode to the film.This is Samy's fourteenth time on the podcast, sustaining his place as the second most frequent guest on the show! I had been wanting to do an episode on Requiem for a Dream for over three years now and it was a hard topic to pitch to others. Those who have yet to see the film were hesitant to watch it while those who have seen the film, did not want to revisit it. Thankfully Samy, although slightly reluctant, was up for the challenge. While it is hard for both of us to say this is one of our favorite films, we have a deep respect for it and would probably regard it as one of the best films we've ever seen. This episode was recorded on September 18, 2025. Samy recently premiered his latest short film, “Anatomy of a Panic Attack” at the “Take it or leave it” short film showcase at MOCA Jacksonville. While the short has not yet been released online, Samy's short film "Waveform" was recently screened at the Jax Fuse Film Festival. Watch short films "Waveform", "Neurafridge", and more of Samy's past work by subscribing to his YouTube channel, Barefoot Python Media, by clicking this link.In this episode, Samy and I talk about our first experiences watching Requiem for a Dream, each character's motivations for taking drugs, and why people should challenge themselves to watch the film at least once. While Samy discusses the impact of Sara Goldfarb's storyline, I explain why the role of Harry Goldfarb is perfectly aligned with Jared Leto's trademark character type. All this and much more on the latest episode of All the Film Things!Background music created and used with permission by the Copyright Free Music - Background Music for Videos channel on YouTube.

This week, Ben and Rob get Caught Stealing (2025), Darren Aronofsky's crime thriller comedy that feels like a lost '90s gem dusted off for the modern screen. Starring Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz, and Matt Smith, Caught Stealing reintroduces us to exaggerated neon-light New York, hustle, danger, and characters who carry regret like a heavy coat.Why does Caught Stealing feel like the director's first great film in ages? Is Austin Butler the best new actor working in Hollywood right now? How does Caught Stealing recreate what audiences have forgotten about the '90s? We also get into Darren Aronofsky's “curse of could-have-been”: can a movie be both flashy and deeply melancholic, both thrilling and haunted by its characters' pasts? And when all is said and done, why has this somewhat broken our hosts?PLUS!

The Wrestler Despite his failing health and rapidly diminishing fame, Randy "The Ram" Robinson (Mickey Rourke) continues to eke out a career as a professional wrestler... partially due to financial hardship and partially in an attempt to hold on to the success of his heyday.

Sergio Pérez y Alma Espinosa hablan de Tron: Ares, Una casa llena de dinamita, Bala perdida... y entrevistan a los equipos de La Tregua y La Suerte.

Min 5: DOWNTON ABBEY: EL GRAN FINAL (3 estrellas) Con Downton Abbey: El Gran Final, el universo creado por Julian Fellowes cierra las puertas de la mítica mansión con la elegancia y melancolía que han caracterizado a la saga desde su nacimiento televisivo. Simon Curtis, que ya había dirigido Mi semana con Marilyn, se encarga de orquestar este adiós coral en el que la aristocracia Crawley y su inquebrantable servidumbre se enfrentan a los últimos coletazos de una era. Min 14: TRON: ARES (3 estrellas) Catorce años después de Tron: Legacy, Disney vuelve a encender los circuitos de su universo digital con Tron: Ares, una secuela que busca reconciliar la mitología original de 1982 con los dilemas tecnológicos del siglo XXI. Dirigida por Joachim Rønning (Piratas del Caribe: La venganza de Salazar, Maléfica: Maestra del mal), la cinta plantea un salto decisivo: por primera vez, una entidad creada dentro del mundo virtual logra cruzar al mundo real. Jared Leto encarna a Ares, un programa diseñado para una misión de contacto con la humanidad. Su travesía, marcada por la duda existencial y el choque entre dos realidades, da pie a una reflexión más profunda sobre la inteligencia artificial, la identidad y la frontera ética entre lo humano y lo digital. Min 23: BALA PERDIDA (4 estrellas) El siempre inquieto Darren Aronofsky sorprende con Bala Perdida, un violento y frenético descenso a los bajos fondos de Nueva York protagonizado por un magnético Austin Butler, que se confirma como uno de los intérpretes más versátiles de su generación. Butler encarna a Hank Thompson, un exjugador de béisbol venido a menos que, por una cadena de casualidades y deudas mal cerradas, se ve arrastrado a una espiral de violencia y corrupción urbana donde cada decisión puede ser la última. MIn 27: LA TREGUA (3 estrellas) El director Miguel Ángel Vivas retoma uno de los episodios menos explorados del pasado español para construir una obra que mezcla memoria, reconciliación y supervivencia. En La Tregua, los actores Miguel Herrán y Arón Piper lideran la narración como Reyes y Salgado, dos militares que, inicialmente enfrentados por sus ideologías durante la Guerra Civil Española, se ven obligados a compartir mucho más que un destino: la dureza de un gulag soviético en la estepa kazaja. Min 41: HECHO EN CLM. Desvelamos los cortos elegidos en Abycine 'Estamos de Cine' vuelve a ser altavoz del Festival Internacional de Cine de Albacete. El pasado 15 de septiembre, Roberto Lancha, como director del programa, presentaba en la carpa de CMM de la Feria de Albacete, las claves de la 27 edición de Abycine. En este capítulo volvemos a ser avanzadilla de este festival de referencia, en el que CMM apoya nuevos proyectos desde la plataforma Abycine Lanza, y desvelamos los cortos elegidos en la sección Hecho en CLM, que se podrán ver y votar muy pronto en nuestra plataforma digital CMM Play. Min 44: ESPECIAL BSO 'EL CAUTIVO' (4 estrellas) En El Cautivo, Alejandro Amenábar no solo lidera la película como director y guionista, sino que retoma otra de sus facetas clásicas: compositor musical. Esta decisión refuerza su sello autoral completo y permite que la música —sus melodías, texturas y silencios— funcione como otro personaje más dentro del cautiverio simbólico que vive Miguel de Cervantes en Argel. Valoramos con Ángel Luque la gran aportación musical de Amenábar. Posiblemente su mejor trabajo hasta la fecha.

Esta semana la cartelera llega llena de emociones, dramas, risas y alguna que otra locura, como la que nos trae Carmen Maura con la que hablamos de su último trabajo Vieja Loca, un thriller psicológico asfixiante, que consigue atraparte los 94 minutos que dura. Otro Thriller no menos interesante es La Tregua, un drama bélico dirigido por Miguel Ángel Vivas, con él y Aron Piper, el capitán Reyes hemos viajado hasta la segunda guerra mundial, al frío, al horror y desolación que se vive en un gulag soviético. Nos detenemos en Downton Abbey: El gran final, el tercer largometraje dirigido por Simón Curtis de la mítica y querida serie sobre la aristocracia británica, en Karmele de Asier Altuna, una historia ambientada en el País Vasco de posguerra, en Bala Perdida, un thriller criminal que firma Darren Aronofsky, ambientado en el Nueva York de los años 90, antes de los atentados del 11S y Mi ilustrísimo amigo la cinta que retrata la pasión y complicidad de Galdós y Pardo Bazán.Fuera de Carta Mi vida a lo grande, la película que abre el debate de la gordofobia en las aulas y podemos ver ya en Filmin. Todo esto además del resto de la cartelera, las mejores series con Pedro Calvo y las secciones habituales.Escuchar audio

"Mi amiga Eva", la nueva película de Cesc Gay, le lleva a Javier Ocaña a acordarse de "Breve encuentro" de David Lean. Ambas películas, sin duda, dejan en un segundo plano lo nuevo de Darren Aronofsky, "Bala perdida", que hace honor a su nombre y no llega a convencer.

Cj and DjTsu dive into the newest Darren Aronofsky movie that was written by Charlie Huston, based on his book of the same name.

  Darren Aronofsky is best known as a writer/director of provocative films like Black Swan, Mother!, and Requiem for a Dream. Movies that are hard to watch and harder to forget. Caught Stealing is...

2025 is the YEAR OF CAROL KANE! From Star Trek to It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia to a documentary about her relationship with her mother (CAROL &JOY, coming soon!), to appearing in the latest Darren Aronofsky movie, it's a busy time in the world of PRAISING KANE and we're loving it. We break down all the latest news on this episode, followed by a look at the strange Caitlin Adams-directed crime-comedy STICKY FINGERS starring Helen Slater and Melanie Mayron as two down-on-their-luck street musicians who are saddled with a bag containing almost a million dollars! With supporting turns from Christopher Guest, Eileen Brennan, Stephen McHattie and - of course - CAROL KANE! Enjoy! The post Episode 293 – Praising Kane – Sticky Fingers (1988) first appeared on Cinema Smorgasbord.

Typically, Darren Aronofsky's films are of high quality but can be challenging to watch. CAUGHT STEALING, thankfully, is very accessible! Austin Butler is tremendous in the dark comedy as a former San Francisco Giants draft pick and we were pleasantly surprised by this movie. So let's talk about it...

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 326: Matthew Libatique, ASC Cinematographer Matty Libatique, ASC, has had a productive year. Shortly after moving to New York, he began work on Spike Lee's film, Highest 2 Lowest. Immediately after wrapping that project, Matty prepped for Darren Aronofsky's Caught Stealing, and then, following a short break, he collaborated with Bradley Cooper on Is This Thing On? (which releases in December.) He found it fascinating to explore New York City through the lenses of three distinct directors, feeling privileged to shoot three New York-centric movies back-to-back. The New York depicted in Highest 2 Lowest and Caught Stealing are starkly different, depending on where people from different socioeconomic backgrounds live. Both films effectively convey the diverse realities of living there. "When you look at both films, separately, you have a feeling of New York, you feel like you're living in New York inside of these films," Matty explains. "And it's because the directors live in New York and have grown up in New York." During location scouting with both Lee and Aronofsky, Matty noted their deep familiarity and emotional attachment to where they chose to shoot. He feels that movies faking New York locations lack the inherent authenticity of shooting in the real city. Highest 2 Lowest is a reinterpretation of the Akira Kurosawa classic, High and Low. Matty used High and Low as an influence, even though Lee was not making a direct adaptation. He found the Kurosawa film helped him see the hierarchy between the affluent and the poor, and the literal rise to the top of a hill by the wealthy industrialist from his humble origins. These themes became the seed of his visual inspiration. In Highest 2 Lowest, Denzel Washington's record executive David King inhabits a high-rise, literally looking down on the world from a high vantage point. The film is intensely character-driven, and with a large ensemble cast, Matty often shot with two to three cameras per scene. The film used an actual exterior of the Olympia building in Dumbo, Brooklyn while the crew shot on a volume stage set for the interiors. Matty found shooting on the volume stage and working with Unreal Engine to create the background images for the penthouse set to be the most challenging aspect of the shoot. It demanded far more advance planning and preparation to perfect the background images than the production schedule allowed. He had to make early, calculated decisions and plan far in advance for shooting the plates that would be used as the backgrounds. Spike Lee frequently incorporates various film formats in his movies, and Matty saw an opportunity to use both a 16mm and a new KODAK Super 8 film camera once the action in Highest 2 Lowest shifted outside the controlled apartment environment. He use both the 16mm and the Super 8 on the subway and in scenes of the Puerto Rican Day parade, also combining them with different film stocks. Lee cut between these distinct formats, which made a sense of heightened chaos. Matty says, “It was just an effort to create chaos, you know, and having the unmatched visual images cut together to sort of just mimic a chaos around this character.” Caught Stealing recreates the New York City of the 1990s, with Martin Scorsese's After Hours serving as a major reference. Matty felt that the character Hank Thompson (Austin Butler) needed a distinct look to articulate the story. He thought about the rust-red tint of the Lee Marvin film, Point Blank, and used a Camtec Color-Con2 to deliberately bleed red color into a few key scenes. Even though Caught Stealing is entertaining and full of action, it was important to Aronofsky to tell a strong, narratively-driven story, with performance and character making the sequences as exciting and brutal as possible. “Like all Darren movies, there's a construct, there's a box, he sets up the architecture of the film,” Matty says.

Josh is joined by recurring guests Elijah Howard and Josh Brown for a double feature. First, they discuss Darren Aronofsky's "Caught Stealing" (Beginning-55:13) and whether they enjoyed Aronofsky bringing his sensitiblies to a more straightfoward story, the performances from Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz and a deep supporting cast, the ways in which they appreciated a recreation of 1990s New York City and much more! Then, both Joshes talk about "Splitsville" including how co-stars and co-writers Michael Angelo Covino and Kyle Marvin crafted an insightful comedy about relationships through the lens of the not-so-common practice of swinging, Covino's impressive direction for a movie on a smaller budget, the impressive comedic performance from Adria Arjona and they both take the brave stand of defending Dakota Johnson's acting talent!

It's bonus time again, as we bring you not one but two episodes relating to the music of Darren Aronofsky's riotous and darkly comic thriller, Caught Stealing. We'll drop the episode featuring composer Rob Simonsen shortly, but first it's the turn of Joe from IDLES, who collaborated with Rob and the score and also provided original songs for the film. Appropriately, Joe joined us walking through the streets of Brooklyn!

It's part two of our Caught Stealing sonic special, as composer Rob Simonsen joins us to discuss his contribution to Darren Aronofsky's latest movie, and plenty more besides. Edith's chat with Joe from IDLES is also available, as indeed is the episode with Darren, so do check those out if you haven't already. But it was great to get Rob on his own so we could dive deep into his own process, as well as some of his other career highlights. 

This is the polls section of episode 223. In this section The Movie Toasters go over poll results surrounding Ben Foster and Darren Aronofsky.Stay Toasty!!!

Darren Aronofsky follows up his divisive Oscar-winner, The Whale, with a throwback to 90s capers. Caught Stealing is an After Hours pastiche without any ego and a studio potboiler aimed right down the middle of the road, it just happens to star one of the most charismatic casts assembled in 2025. Jeff and Derek discuss the star power of Austin Butler, the few surprises the film has in store, and this strange departure from Aronofsky's typical auteurism. Tune in!

Acclaimed Oscar-nominated director Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, Black Swan, The Whale, The Wrestler) returns to the big screen with what MIGHT be his most audience-friendly caper yet....this is the story of a burned-out ex-baseball player named Hank (Oscar-nominee Austin Butler) who unexpectedly finds himself embroiled in a dangerous struggle for survival of late '90's New York City.  Upon doing his neighbor Russ (Matt Smith) a favorite while he goes out of town, Hank soon has various unsavory characters who come calling....and the only people who can apparently help him are his long-suffering girlfriend/medic Yvonne (Zoe Kravitz) and NYPD Detective Roman (Oscar-Winner Regina King) who's on the case.  Also along for the ride during this increasingly violent crime comedy/drama are Griffin Dunne, Bad Bunny, Action Bronson, Carol Kane, Liev Schreiber, and Vincent D'Onofrio. Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

In this episode of Thumb War, Jason and Rachel break down Darren Aronofsky's Caught Stealing (2025) — a violent, surreal New York crime thriller starring Austin Butler, Zoe Kravitz, Regina King, and Bad Bunny. We go deep into: The book-to-film adaptation by Charlie Huston Aronofsky's obsession with real-world consequences of violence The soundtrack (Clash, Idles, 90s needle drops) Hank's trauma and “nice guy in a nightmare” theme Scene-stealing turns from Bad Bunny and the Russian mobsters Why this might be Aronofsky's weirdest mainstream film yet Full spoilers throughout.

Everybody loves to argue about a list, which is why this week's episode finds Brennan, Cameron, and Andrew digging into the recent list of the 100 best movies of the 21st Century published by The New York Times. What films made us mad? What films mad us happy? What's conspicuously missing? Check out the episode for the team's answers to these questions and more, as well as their individual ballots for the ten best films of the last 25 years. And before we get to that, three wildly different films come to the movie roundtable: Andrew watched Andrzej Żuławski's 1972 The Devil, Cameron checks out the biographical documentary It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley, and Brennan shrugs his way through Darren Aronofsky's uncharacteristic new film Caught Stealing.

This week on The Treatment, Elvis speaks with the principal cast of the new film Love, Brooklyn: Roy Wood, Jr., Nicole Beharie, DeWanda Wise, and André Holland, the latter of whom is also a producer on the film. Then, Caught Stealing director Darren Aronofsky stops by to talk about his new crime caper which stars Austin Butler and Zoë Kravitz.  And on The Treat, Freaky Tales co-director Anna Boden reveals the artist who inspired her to bring his energy to her work and life.   

After 11 seasons on ER, Noah Wyle thought he was finished with medical dramas: "I spent 15 years avoiding — actively avoiding — walking down what I thought was either hallowed ground or traveled road." But then COVID happened, and he felt compelled to tell more of these stories. He spoke with Dave Davies about the making of HBO's hit show The Pitt, the medical jargon, and his mom's feedback on the show.Justin Chang reviews the new film Caught Stealing, from director Darren Aronofsky.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Sean and Amanda start the show by reacting to a handful of recent movie trailers, including Emerald Fennell's ‘Wuthering Heights'—starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi—and Nia DaCosta's ‘28 Years Later: The Bone Temple' (3:33). Then, they unpack Spike Lee's newest film ‘Highest 2 Lowest,' starring Denzel Washington and A$AP Rocky. They explore its very high highs and occasional low lows, Washington's fascinating performance style, and what makes this film so different compared to the rest of Lee's filmography (17:09). Next, they cover Darren Aronofsky's ‘Caught Stealing,' starring Austin Butler and Zoë Kravitz; they both found it quite disappointing, to the point that they even discussed whether or not Austin Butler is a “leading man” (39:54). Finally, Sean is joined by the legendary filmmaker Spike Lee to talk about his new movie. Lee reflects on the first time he visited Akira Kurosawa's work and touches on what Kurosawa means to both himself and cinema at large, talks through Denzel Washington's brilliant improvisations in this film and explains why he is—in Lee's opinion—the greatest actor of all time, and explores what is missing from Hollywood and the filmmaking industry right now (1:07:01).

When his British punk neighbor Russ, played by Matt Smith, asks him to cat sit, Hank finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. His life comes apart as the criminal underworld becomes convinced he knows where a huge cache of stolen cash can be found. Will Hank fight back? Can he?
