Podcasts about Death of Stalin

This week on FridayFlix, we're heading to the Soviet Union for one of the darkest and funniest political comedies ever made: The Death of Stalin (2017).We discuss what makes The Death of Stalin work as a comedy despite its incredibly dark subject matter, the film's brilliant ensemble cast, and the performances of Steve Buscemi, Simon Russell Beale, Jeffrey Tambor, and Jason Isaacs. We also talk about the movie's use of modern accents, its mix of historical events and absurd humor, and whether making these terrifying political figures ridiculous makes the history more—or less—effective.Plus, we dive into the real history behind the movie, the biggest differences between the film and reality, our favorite scenes, and the big question: How do you make a movie about Stalin's death this funny without making light of the people who suffered under his regime?Email us your thoughts at jkentertainment247@gmail.com.Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @fridayflixpodcast.And don't forget to follow us on Letterboxd at Cinemack89 and KMcanthony.

In the first of a new series from Old Street in which historian focus on a single moment of history, pre-eminent English-language expert on the Soviet Union Sheila Fitzpatrick gives a detailed and darkly humorous account of the day in 1953 on which Stalin died, an event for which, despite its inevitability, both Russia and the wider world were almost completely unprepared. Fitzpatrick discussed The Death of Stalin with Owen Hatherley (Trans-Europe Express, The Alienation Effect).

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Armando Iannucci, originally episode 174 from 2017-10-24.Original writeup below:Responsible for an insane amount of some of the greatest UK comedy since the 90's, including the writing and production of 'The Day Today' which spawned Alan Partridge and the Partridge multiverse, 'The Thick Of It', 'Time Trumpet', and US based 'Veep', Armando is clearly a titan of the game. With his new production 'The Death Of Stalin' (in cinemas NOW!), he's been grinding it out on the media promo run, but is sharp as a katana as he sits down with Pip for a nice long chat covering all the necessary bases and loads more that you'd hope to hear about, including said promo run grind and the madness of it all, especially seeing your own film countless times, being mindful of not using the victims of the subject of his film for comedy and finding that material from many various other sources, social media and how the echo chamber is reinforced and debate is fading, how the film draws parallels with today's US presidency even though it was filmed months before Trump's election win, and how to successfully wrangle an all star cast in order to promote efficiency on set. Tons more obviously but yeah, super entertaining and a must for Armando fans and those who appreciate the craft of writing and production.

After passing off the reins of Veep, Armando Iannucci returned to movie screens with another political satire. Based on the graphic novel, The Death of Stalin farcically recounts the last days of the dictator and the scramble for power in the days after. With stars like Steve Buscemi, Jason Isaacs, and Simon Russell Beale, the film received … Continue reading "338 – The Death of Stalin"

Ian and Michael from Lord Of Adders Black: A Black mo baadder Podcast return to Flixwatcher to review Ian's choice The Death of Stalin. The Death of Stalin (2017) is a satirical black comedy written and directed by Armando (The Thick of It) Iannucci. In the wake of the death of Joseph Stalin, the remaining members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union bicker and fight over who will succeed him. Its ensemble cast includes Steve Buscemi, Simon Russell Beale, Paddy Considine, Rupert Friend, Jason Isaacs, Olga Kurylenko, Michael Palin, Andrea Riseborough, Dermot Crowley, Paul Chahidi, Adrian McLoughlin, Paul Whitehouse, and Jeffrey Tambor. The Death of Stalin attempts to condense a very complex period of what was then the Soviet Union into 1 hour and 47 minutes with added satirical comedy. Its sheer number of key players adds to its denseness. It's tricky balance of humour and people being shot in the head won't be for everyone and the recommendability scores reflected this. The Death of Stalin scores 4.23 overall.

Hello, dear listeners and fellow members of the proletariat! Welcome to another episode in our series “Remember! You Asked For It!”  Well, we find ourselves in a teensy-weensy pickle this week.

Edward Berger's new CONCLAVE is a low-key, intimate political thriller full of unexpected reveals, but fundamentally about power, purity, belief, compromise, perception, and committee decisions. This week we share our thoughts on CONCLAVE's insular focus and messaging around religion and politics before considering how its power brokers and kingmakers compare to those found in the 1964 presidential-candidate drama THE BEST MAN, and the two films' overlapping ideas about whether politics demands hypocrisy. And for Your Next Picture Show, we offer a recommendation for THE DEATH OF STALIN, a radically different movie about the vacuum left when a powerful man dies, and the jockeying and chicanery that follows. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about THE BEST MAN, CONCLAVE, 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.

Santa-Wakanda forever! Heute heißt es RED ONE - ALARMSTUFE WEIHNACHTEN, während RED ROOMS oder CALIGULA - ULTIMATE CUT nicht nur deutlich spannender, sondern auch sehr viel herausfordernder sind. Dazu erzählt uns Steve McQueen mit BLITZ nun auch was vom Krieg, während MONSTER ON A PLANE zum Rundflug über D-Film-Hausen ansetzt. Um über all das zu sprechen, haben wir heute mal wieder Mia Pflüger zu Besuch, die gemeinsam mit Andi und Schröck dann auch noch kurz über die aktuellen Mediatheken- & Streaming-Tipps spricht. Demnach also über DER TALENTIERTE MR. RIPLEY, den koreanischen Geheimtipp THE TIGER - LEGENDE EINER JAGD, den ewigen Geheimtipp I SEE YOU, VIVA MARIA! oder IN SEARCH OF DARKNESS 2 und über ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL, Sergie Leones TODESMELODIE, MANODROME, NO HARD FEELINGS wie auch noch THE DEATH OF STALIN. Das ist allerdings nur die halbe Miete, da die Drei mal wieder über ein paar News palavern wollen. Zu denen gehört u.a. das echt exorbitant hohe Budget für den neuen und vermeintlich letzten MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE-Film mit Tom Cruise, inkl. kurzer Auflistung der bisher teuersten Filme aller Zeiten. Oder der nun in Bayern gedrehte CLIFFHANGER-Film, der eigentlich mal eine Fortsetzung werden sollte, aber jetzt vielleicht doch ein Remake oder Reboot wird. Dafür wissen wir, dass Takashi Yamazaki einen neuen GODZILLA-Film drehen wird, worüber sich dann doch nicht nur Daniel freut. Und es wird noch über ein paar Ankündigungen gequatscht. Zum Besipiel die 3 LEGO-Projekte, der GAME OF THRONES-Streifen, diese noch seltsam wirkende Produktion zu MARLON BRANDO oder die wie immer noch sehr unbekannte Produktion von CHRISTOPHER NOLAN, über die jetzt gerade das Gerücht kursiert, eine Art Neuauflage von DAS FLIEGENDE AUGE zu werden. Natürlich per IMAX gefilmt. Und natürlich wird auch noch über das geredet, was die Drei zuletzt gesehen haben. Infolgessen geht es um TRAINING DAY, die One-Shot-Apokalypse MADS und diesen hinreißenden Liebesbrief namens MUSIC BY JOHN WILLIAMS über einen unserer Alltime-Lieblingskomponisten. Damit sind die nächsten rund 2 Stunden hoffentlich gut gefüllt und mindestens so unterhaltsam wie informativ. Denn wir wünschen Euch nun sehr viel Spaß dabei, bleibt gesund und gut drauf, habt ein schönes Wochenende wie auch schöne Stunden im Kino oder auf der Couch und bis bald.

We're traveling to Mother Russia this week to eat a charcuterie buffet of cheese, chocolate, tomatoes, lettuce, apples, and bread before discussing The Death of Stalin. We can't help but root for a bad guy in this power grab for control over the lives of so many comrades. It's nice to know that we live in a world where we can watch a good satire of Russian politics and not get

Hollywood rarely makes films about the Soviet Union, at least from their perspective (even if it's a bit ahistorical). The Death of Stalin came out 100 years to the month of the Russian Revolution, which was no accident. Despite the flaws of this film, which we discuss in full, it's a really fun "fan fiction" (as per Jolly Leftist). I had fun watching and hearing those more knowledgable about the period that I am discuss all the facts. I am joined by podcast regular The Jolly Leftist as well as Comrade Larry, Comrade Muerte and Companero Cruz.

It'll come as no surprise that our Hannah is a huge Armando Iannucci fan. And The Death of Stalin, his 2017 satire on the brutality and absurdity of tyranny and what happens in the aftermath of, in this case, the death of Soviet monster Joseph Stalin, is a firm favourite. Brimming with trademark Iannucci smarts, wit and creative insults, boasting a dream cast of big names, and darker than the inside of a cow, fellow Iannucci fans Mick and Yosra were bound to love it too. Well, you'd have thought.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Also, discussion of mass murder, antisemitism, alcoholism, execution, mass killings, death, grief. We move out of the fog of war to a much weirder and funnier moment of history this week as we dive into the power vacuum of Soviet power in 1953. More importantly, though, we're watching an Armando Iannucci film, which means razor-sharp satire and incredibly inventive cursing, both of which are present here. But while the movie is executed impeccably, it misses the absurd scale of Soviet terror and power under their most feared and, at times, respected leader. To be sure, the performances here are incredibly funny and on the mark. But Iannucci wanted to pull punches in the name of realism and perhaps should have just leaned in a bit more.

Buckle up for a very dark comedy as the guys dive into Russian history with The Death of Stalin. Special guest and local soviet historian Joel Baumer joins the fellas in the studio.

Writer and director Armando Iannucci reveals the most important artistic influences and experiences that have shaped his own work. Armando was the creative force behind Radio 4's news satire series On The Hour, which moved to television as The Day Today and launched the career of Alan Partridge. He wrote and directed the political comedy series The Thick Of It, and the long-running American TV series Veep. His big screen credits include In The Loop, The Death Of Stalin and The Personal History Of David Copperfield. Armando recalls his Italian-Scottish family upbringing in Glasgow, where his lifelong love of classical music was first forged in Hillhead Public Library. A fan of radio comedy from a young age, he talks about the impact of hearing the 1978 radio comedy The Hitchhikers Guide To the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, whose central character Arthur Dent is, like many of Iannucci's own comic creations, a man way out of his depth as events spin out of control. The 2003 invasion of Iraq is chosen by Armando as an event that had a big influence on his decision to create political satires The Thick Of It and its big screen spin-off In The Loop, in which government ministers and their advisors struggle to navigate a political path littered with inconvenient facts and rules. Reflecting on his work as a director, Armando Iannucci cites the American filmmaker Sidney Lumet as another major inspiration, with movies including Network, Dog Day Afternoon, Twelve Angry Men and The Verdict.

As the fourth season of “Veep” came to an end, director Armando Iannucci turned from chronicling the foibles of cynical western democracy to something darker still: life under dictatorship.  He found his source material in the French graphic novel “The Death of Stalin.” David Remnick compares Iannucci's new film to “Get Out”—a real horror story that is also a comedy of terror. “I wanted to take myself out of my comfort zone by taking on these themes that involved death, destruction, and paranoia,” Iannucci tells him. As the brutal dictatorships of the twentieth century fade into history, Iannucci wants to remind people—especially those frustrated with democracy—just how horrific totalitarianism really is.
