On this week's episode, we finally take a moment to celebrate the late Gene Hackman. Richard Winters from Scopophilia returns to the show to discuss the 1969 film The Gypsy Moths. It features an early supporting role for Hackman, with Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr reuniting as the big names in the cast. In addition to our discussion, we also have our movie recommendations and, of course, our trivia game.
In this eye-opening conversation, assessment expert Dr. Deborah Kerr dives into why the science of hiring remains "broken" despite decades of research and how validated assessment tools can transform results.Dr. Kerr reveals startling statistics: managers get hiring decisions wrong approximately 80% of the time, according to Gallup research, with human cognitive biases being the primary culprit. Your brain's natural tendencies toward confirmation bias, overconfidence, and anchoring on first impressions sabotage objective decision-making in ways most hiring managers never recognize.Perhaps most surprisingly, many common hiring practices lack scientific validity. Experience as indicated on resumes shows almost no correlation with future job performance. Those "years of experience required" in your job descriptions? Research suggests they're nearly worthless as predictors of success.What actually works? Validated, predictive assessments that measure cognitive ability (the strongest predictor across all jobs), followed by personality traits and work culture fit. When these assessments form the foundation of a structured hiring process - complete with targeted interview questions and job simulations - organizations experience dramatically better outcomes.For HR professionals, this episode, hosted by Career Club's Bob Goodwin, provides actionable insights to transform hiring processes, reduce costly turnover, and make the business case for evidence-based hiring practices. The technical knowledge exists - now it's time to close the research-practice gap and revolutionize how we match people to jobs.Support the showFeature Your Brand on the HRchat PodcastThe HRchat show has had 100,000s of downloads and is frequently listed as one of the most popular global podcasts for HR pros, Talent execs and leaders.

“RICHARD CARLSON: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH” (081) - 3/31/2025 Tall, dark-haired, and handsome, RICHARD CARLSON was always a welcomed addition to any cast. From the beginning, when he was playing preppy college students opposite LANA TURNER, to his reign in the 1950s as the King of Sci-Fi thrillers, Carlson brought believability and authority to each role but also a sense of introspective thoughtfulness. You looked into his deep blue eyes and chiseled face and believed him. Whatever he was selling, we were buying. And while he never became an A-list leading man, he enjoyed a long and steady career and enhanced many a mediocre film with his special appeal. This week, we celebrate RICHARD CARLSON as our Star of the Month.

Se dice que los que hacemos habla más fuerte que todas nuestras palabras. No siempre es cierto, pero hay ocasiones en que lo único que podemos decir es con nuestros actos. Jesús dice que hay algo en lo que se reconocerá a sus discípulos, que es en su amor, los unos por los otros (Juan 13:35). Este capítulo comienza con el ejemplo de humillación del Señor lavando los píes a sus siervos (vv. 1-20). El que fuera guitarrista de Bob Dylan en la gira que hizo hace medio siglo, T-Bone Burnett, se ha convertido en uno de las figuras más importantes de Nashville, como productor y autor de bandas sonoras, pero continua haciendo canciones como esta de su último álbum, que que refleja su fe en el Rey Siervo, "Él descendió" (He Came Down 2024). Marcus Mumford es hijo de los responsables de la Comunidad de la Viña durante más de veinte años en Gran Bretaña e Irlanda. Pasó de dirigir la música de alabanza a ser una estrella de "rock" y casarse con una de las más populares actrices inglesas, Carey Mulligan, que conoció en un campamento evangélico. Ahora no se llama cristiano, pero hace todavía canciones que parecen oraciones, como "Bajo mis píes" (Below My Feet 2012): "Qué mire en lo que pueda servir y aprender con mis manos / cuando Jesús me diga que todo está bien". La entrega de Jesús contrasta con la traición de Judas (vv. 21-30). El líder del grupo The Verve, Richard Ashcroft, llevaba mucho tiempo flirteando con el cristianismo hasta que hizo pública su fe, al emprender su carrera en solitario. En la canción que hizo con el grupo sobre "Judas" en 2008, lucha con los sentimientos que nos llevan a negar a quien más queremos. Martin Scorsese ha hecho el año pasado un documental sobre las impresionantes películas de dos directores ingleses en los años 40 y 50, Powell y Pressburger. Una de las más sorprendentes es "Narciso negro" (1947), la historia de una comunidad de monjas anglicanas (sí, ¡también hay monjas anglicanas!), que bajo la dirección del personaje que interpreta Deborah Kerr, forman un convento en los Himalayas, donde tenía un rajá indio, el palacio de su harén. Viven la tensión entre un cínico inglés y un joven general fascinado por el cristianismo, que encarna el actor indio Sabu. José de Segovia comenta algunas escenas de la versión doblada con la música de fondo de la banda sonora original de Brian Easdale. Suena también la de Gregoire Hertzel para la película francesa sobre una monjas polacas embarazadas, al ser violadas por las tropas rusas, "Las inocentes" (2016). así como la de Anne Dudley para el film sobre la monja mística "Benedetta" (2021) del holandés Paul Verhoeven, criado por su madre en una iglesia pentecostal. "Sin amor, no eres nada", dice Larry Norman en su crítica al "Justo Rockero" (Righteous Rocker) en el primer álbum de la maravillosa trilogía que comenzó a grabar en Londres en 1972, "Sólo de visita en este planeta" (Only Visiting This Planet), calificado por la Biblioteca Nacional del Congreso estadounidense como "la obra clave de la historia del rock cristiano". Acabamos el programa con la invitación a unirse a la "Caravana del amor" (Caravan Of Love) de los hermanos Isley en 1985 y su pregunta de si "estás preparado", porque "Él viene".

EPISODE 76 - “MEMORABLE OSCAR SPEECHES OF THE GOLDEN ERA OF HOLLYWOOD” - 2/24/2025 Winning an Oscar is a dream for most people who work in Hollywood. But you can't just win the Oscar, you have to have a good speech once your name is called and you head to the podium. There have been some great ones — OLIVIA COLEMAN's funny and cheeky speech hit the right tone and who can forget JACK PALANCE's one-arm push-ups or CUBA GOODING's exuberance? There have also been some bad ones — don't we all still cringe a little at SALLY FIELDS' “You like me” speech? As we prepare to celebrate the 97th annual Academy Award ceremony, Steve and Nan look back on some of their favorite Oscar speeches and why they resonate. So put on your tux, don the gown and jewels, pop the champagne, and join us for a fun talk about … well, people talking.

EPISODE 60 - "THELMA RITTER: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH" - 11/04/2024 There's a scene in the classic 1950 film All About Eve where Eve Harrington (ANNE BAXTER), a star-struck fan who has infiltrated the life of Broadway star Margo Channing (BETTE DAVIS), is telling the tragic story of her past to Margo and her friends. While Margo and company are drawn into the sad circumstances of Eve's life, Margo's acerbic dresser Birdie, played to perfection by the great THELMA RITTER, is not buying her sob story. After Eve finishes, Birdie mutters, "What a story! Everything but the bloodhounds snappin' at her rear end." This is probably the moment I fell in love with Ritter. With her heavy New York accent, diminutive size, working-class charm, and sarcastic zingers, she made a career of stealing scenes from big stars and making the most of her time on screen. She played characters wiser than most, and her characters certainly didn't suffer fools gladly. She is a cinematic treasure, and we celebrate her as our Star of the Month.

Friend Dan J. joins to discuss both obscure films that deserve more recognition than they get. Happy Halloween!

We're back in our regular format just in time for spooky season and for one of Nick's favourite horror films. A tale of ambiguity, repression, and corruption: it's Jack Clayton's THE INNOCENTS from 1961!CW: due to the nature of this movie's story, child sexual abuse is discussed in general terms. It's a real Freudian time on the podcast this week as we discuss Truman Capote's "skull beneath the skin" gothic concepts, Deborah Kerr's masterful portrayal of psychosexual ambiguity, why you shouldn't use flashbacks, creepy kids, and candelabras (candelabrae?). We're asking the question, how do you adapt a purposefully ambiguous tale? Fittingly, there's no exact answer!Plus, we're talking about how this was a huge leap forward for the horror genre in its cinematography and sound design, and it's a perfect opportunity to discuss electronic music pioneer Daphne Oram.Next time on the pod we visit a core text of the Gartbage crew: SHAUN OF THE DEAD!
New podcast episode is out now! Our host and headache specialist Dr Katy Munro speaks with Dr Deborah Kerr, a GP and fellow headache specialist, and Dr Bernadette Hard, to explore their personal experiences with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks. Dr Hard, a GP and trustee of the CSF Leak Association, shares her inspiring recovery journey and how she's channelling her experience into action by taking on an extraordinary challenge—a wing walk on Friday the 13th of September to raise funds for a CSF leak registry. Meanwhile, Dr Kerr opens about her ongoing struggles with the condition, highlighting just how difficult and life-altering CSF leaks can be. Together, their stories shed light on the often misunderstood and under-recognised impact of this condition. For more information on CSF leaks and how to get involved, visit the CSF Leak Association.

“Something's been worrying me. You're a French police officer and yet you've got a Scottish accent.” -“Aye. It worries me too.” Before Daniel Craig was even a twinkle in his father's eye (give it a couple of months) there was the 1967 original big screen version of Casino Royale, a far-from-subtle James Bond spoof based extremely loosely on Ian Fleming's first novel, which would go on to become the bedrock for all subsequent Austin Powers movies! How to best describe Casino Royale? Baffling, bloated, self-indulgent, messy - yes, all these apply. However, it's a fascinating celluloid confection and there are plenty of interesting aspects to the film, plus a handful of chuckles along the way. Famously suffering from temperamental stars (step forward Mr Sellers) and multiple directors, and shot through with the psychedelic sentiment of the time, Casino Royale is worth watching for the cast alone: along with the aforementioned Peter Sellers we have Orson Welles, David Niven, Woody Allen, Deborah Kerr, Ursula Andress, John Huston, Bernard Cribbens, Ronnie Corbett, Anna Quayle, John Bluthal, John Wells, Geoffrey Bayldon, Peter O'Toole and even Derek Nimmo! This week Tyler is joined by Martin Holmes, the host of Vision On Sound - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/visiononsound - to try and make sense of it all!
EPISODE 30 - “Robert Walker: Old Hollywood's Tragic Boy Next Door” - 04/08/2024 No one played sensitive, lost souls quite like ROBERT WALKER. However, he is best known for playing one of the most complicated, psychopaths in film history, Bruno Antony in ALFRED HITCHCOCK's masterpiece “Strangers On A Train” (1951). His journey from playing sensitive innocents to playing Bruno is reflective of his troubled, turbulent life, and the heartbreak from which he never recovered. This week, we'll discuss the artistry and the tragedy of this incredible actor.

Director and writer Harrison Atkins (Lace Crater) joins for a discussion of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's rhapsodic 1947 drama, BLACK NARCISSUS starring Deborah Kerr, Kathleen Byron, David Farrar and Sabu. Based on Rumer Godden's novel, BLACK NARCISSUS tells the story of Anglican nuns establishing a convent on a Himalayan mountaintop. Overwhelmed by the region's natural beauty and their own natural urges, the sisters begin to question their lives as nuns. Shot in stunning Technicolor by cinematographer Jack Cardiff, BLACK NARCISSUS is one of Powell and Pressburger's defining films, a thorny, surprisingly modern work on female devotion, repression, lust and madness. Join Mama Needs a Movie as it gazes into BLACK NARCISSUS, with some diversions into Annihilation, Paris Is Burning, declining horniness, Madeline, Silence, haircuts, Sister Wendy and much, much more! BLACK NARCISSUS is available to stream with subscription to The Criterion Channel or Max, and can be streamed for free on Freevee, Tubi, and The Roku Channel.

EPISODE 28 - “Golden Era Stars in 1970s Disaster Films” - 03/25/2024 Just when many classic films stars thought they were finished in showbiz, a wonderful thing happened — 1970s disaster movies! Producers like IRWIN ALLEN and JENNINGS LANG shepherded in an exciting, over-the-top, new genre that capitalized on our fears.

I'm a classic film nut, and there's no better example of overblown, dramatic and romantic Hollywood storytelling than the movie Black Narcissus, starring Deborah Kerr. Based on the 1930s Rumer Godden novel, it's a story that shows how women throughout history have so often buried themselves in service to others as they sublimate their own feelings and desires — or more likely, find those desires shamed, controlled and punished. So let's celebrate Women's History Month by enjoying stories where women conduct even the tiniest rebellions against the oppression of their true selves. CW: explicit discussion of sex, desire and religious belief.https://www.confessionsofaclosetromantic.comMy guest, Violet Grey, blogs about kinky sex and spirituality at Becoming Violet Grey.

EPISODE 23 - “I Coulda Been a Contender: Classic Casting That Almost Happened” - 02/19/2024 It is well documented that the film “Gone With The Wind” started filming before an actress was cast in the lead role of Scarlett O'Hara. Producer DAVID O. SELZNICK made a spectacle out of who would win the coveted role. It became a national obsession. He considered everyone from TALLULAH BANKHEAD to BETTE DAVIS to LUCILLE BALL. He eventually narrowed the field to three finalists: PAULETTE GODDARD, JOAN BENNETT, and JEAN ARTHUR. But in the eleventh hour, a new contender, an unknown Brit named VIVIEN LEIGH, swept in and won the role. Listen as we discuss, debate, and guffaw over other casting choices that almost happened in some of your favorite film classics.

I think Eye of the Devil is an undercard for 1966In the USA you had William Shatner starring in 'Incubus' and John Saxon And Dennis Hopper in 'Queen of Blood'In Spain you had Jess Franco's 'The Diabolical Dr Z'In Italy Mario Bava put out 'Kill, Baby Kill'In Japan 'Daimajin' was released as well as 'Irazumi'And in the UK you had Hammer Horror's 'Plague of the Zombies', "The Witches' and 'Dracula Prince of Darkness'All I think stronger titles than 'Eye of the Devil'But there is no denying there is something magical about it. I just can't put my finger on it.J. Lee Thompson directed Cape Fear in 1962, Happy Birthday to Me in 1981 plus a couple of Planet of the Apes movies as part of his genre sweep during his career.

Meanwhile in a television development meeting..."Hey so we've got this idea for a reclusive archvillain that lives on a remote island in Scotland and experiments with deadly sound waves. Who do you think we should cast?""Sean Connery?""Oh and they have to be female.""Uh...I think Deborah Kerr is Scottish?""Oh and they need to be Chinese.""Bette Davis?""Perfect!"Recommendations:Glenn: Secondhand Lions (2003 film)Sarah: Brideshead Revisited (1981 television series or 2008 film)Cameron: Air (2023 film)
Listen to this PREVIEW of the 9th episode of A Woman Robbed, a special bonus series you can hear on the And the Runner-Up Is Patreon exclusive feed! A Woman Robbed is a series in which Kevin is joined by a special guest in discussing women who had significant Oscar buzz heading into the nominations but were ultimately robbed/snubbed/omitted from the Best Actress lineup. In this episode, Kevin speaks with Dashiell M. Silva about two performances that won Best Actress at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards but weren't even nominated at the Oscars: Tallulah Bankhead ("Lifeboat") and Deborah Kerr ("Black Narcissus"). We discuss their performances, talk about why they came up short, and reveal whether we would have nominated them. You can listen to the full episode of A Woman Robbed by going to patreon.com/andtherunnerupis and contributing at the $3 per month tier.

Silva on Twitter: @dashiellsilva Follow And the Runner-Up Is on Twitter: @OscarRunnerUp Clips included in this episode: "Lifeboat" - 20th Century Fox
[ For full episode catalogue please subscribe to our Patreon at Patreon.com/BestActress ] The year is 1959 and the nominees are: 1. Susan Hayward - I Want to Live! 2. Deborah Kerr - Separate Tables 3. Shirley MacLaine - Some Came Running 4. Rosalind Russell - Auntie Mama 5. Elizabeth Taylor - Cat on a Hot Tin Roof - In 1959 Susan Hayward won the Oscar for her portrayal of alleged murder accomplice Barbara Graham and her eventual execution in a gas chamber. Hayward was known for delivering top shelf performances dealing with dark subject matter and she does not disappoint in, I Want to Live! Baby Shirley MacLaine received her first Oscar nomination for Some Came Running playing an uneducated naive girl from Chicago who falls in love with Frank Sinatra. Deborah Kerr gave a brief but memorable performance in Separate Tables, one of two films this year that had to be adjusted for the Hollywood Production code as to avoid discussing topics of homosexuality (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof being the second). Rosalind Russell delivers an amazing performance as the eccentric aunt (perhaps a precursor to Travels with my Aunt with Maggie Smith) known for her quirky lifestyle and outgoing personality. Finally, Elizabeth Taylor plays Paul Newman's wife desperately trying to get him to love her again (even physically (same girl)) in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Who do you think should have won? Join host Kyle Brownrigg with guest host Joe Arsenal as they discuss.
The Dames carry on with Spooky Season and discuss Gothic horror, where the ghosts are metaphors and the horror is for love. Deborah Kerr goes mad in The Innocents, Vincent Price has an unhealthy attachment to his dead wife in The Tomb of Ligeia, and nothing is OK at Crimson Peak.
Melanie and Ed love watching old movies and dishing on them. This week's movie: BLACK NARCISSUS (1947), starring Deborah Kerr, Sabu, David Farrar, and Flora Robson, and featuring Esmond Knight, Jean Simmons, and Kathleen Byron. Mel and Ed make book recommendations with similar themes. Send podcast comments and suggestions to Melanded@whothehellarewe.com Don't forget to subscribe to the show!
Following up on our great Brian De Palma episode with Megan Abbott & Alison Gaylin that was released last week, we have our second of three installments this month featuring two tremendous guests. Centered on one of our greatest film stars in the form of Robert Mitchum, you'll hear two different conversations with two brilliant women, recorded over the course of the summer to clock in at a combined total of two hours. If anyone deserves that much time & attention, it's Robert Mitchum!First up, we have blogger & historian Raquel Stecher, who joins me to cover some of the actor's most famous performances in the films OUT OF THE PAST, BLOOD ON THE MOON, RIVER OF NO RETURN, THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER, & THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE. After that, actress-turned-producer Amy Robinson returns to share her thoughts on the man whose six-decade-spanning career she did a deep dive into during the pandemic. In addition to a general appreciation of what Robert Mitchum brought to film history, she chose to tackle one of his most unexpected & fascinating collaborations with his good friend Deborah Kerr, with whom he starred in the films HEAVEN KNOWS MR. ALLISON, THE SUNDOWNERS, THE GRASS IS GREENER, & REUNION AT FAIRBOROUGH. A wide-ranging conversation that touches on several other memorable films, stars, & directors, you'll want to be sure to listen to this one with a notebook & pen in order to write down all of the titles we work into these two terrific chats.

“We're heading into rough seas, Michel.”A Love Story That Stands the Test of TimeIt's interesting that Leo McCarey's 1939 film Love Affair largely fell into obscurity due to both slipping into the public domain and to McCarey's own remake in 1957 as An Affair to Remember. It largely was thanks to Nora Ephron including mention of both films in her 1993 classic Sleepless in Seattle that interest in this original rose again. Now, thanks to a stunning restoration in 2020, the film looks brand new and is certainly worth discovery, or re-discovery. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our series on the 1940 Academy Awards • Best Picture nominees with a conversation about McCarey's 1939 film Love Affair.Here's a hint at what we talk about.We both were more familiar with the story from McCarey's 1957 remake An Affair to Remember starring Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr, but the core of the story remains largely unchanged. That even holds true in Warren Beatty's mess of a remake in 1994 (also called Love Affair), which says something about the strength in the story. We have a few issues with the story, however – the need to wait six months before seeing each other again to prove they're able to survive on their own seems a bit plotted, and Terry's desire to not tell Michel about her accident until she's able to walk to him seems thin. But are they? There's clearly meaning behind their motivations in both cases. Is it just that we actually want it spelled out more, which we rarely actually want? Or is it that we don't quite feel they sell it? It's hard to gauge, so in the end these points don't break things for us. They just give us pause. It's hard to get past that ending though. It's perfect and just rips your heart out before putting it right back. Amazing stuff. There's a reason it's become iconic. And how great are Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer? We discuss them a bit in relation to Grant and Kerr. Who works better for us? Leo McCarey was stepping away from his comedies. How does he do with this material? We also talk about the controversies with the script and why the production code wouldn't pass it initially. And let's not forget the songs!It's a great film and easily one to fall in love with. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

The 1956 Hollywood version of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The King and I, popularized King Mongkut of Siam, who from a Western perspective was a hitherto obscure figure. In the musical, an English teacher played by Deborah Kerr, drags the monarch of a seemingly insulated and somewhat backward country into the modern world. As is so often the case. The Hollywood version of history was far from the truth. Though Mongkut did embrace science and technology he wasn't the first Siamese ruler to do so. Some 200 years earlier, King Narai of Ayutthaya, sought out cutting-edge technology and formed alliances with powerful figures such as King Louis XIV of France. In this episode I speak with Australian historian Dr Ian Hodges about Narai, his reign, his legacy and his eventual successor the better-known King Mongkut.
