Podcast appearances and mentions of Denzel Washington

This week, we discuss two films from director Carl Franklin. The first is Devil in a Blue Dress (1995), a smoky noir set in postwar Los Angeles, where a seemingly simple missing persons job pulls an everyman detective, played by Denzel Washington, into a web of corruption, racial tension and moral compromise. The second is One False Move (1992), starring Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton, a slow-burn crime thriller that begins as a manhunt and evolves into something far more unsettling.   Timestamps What we've been watching (00:00:35) – The Bourne Trilogy, The Big Short, Dumb Money, The Godfather Part II, Dangerous Animals, Black Rabbit, Pluribus Devil in a Blue Dress (00:33:00) One False Move (00:58:00) Coin toss (01:22:20)   Links Instagram - @callitfriendopodcast @munnywales @andyjayritchie   Letterboxd – @andycifpod @fat-tits mcmahon   Justwatch.com – streaming and rental links - https://www.justwatch.com

"Highest 2 Lowest" is an American crime thriller film directed by Spike Lee from a screenplay by Alan Fox. It is an English-language remake of Akira Kurosawa's 1963 Japanese film "High and Low," itself based on Ed McBain's 1959 novel "King's Ransom." The film stars Denzel Washington, Jeffrey Wright, Ilfenesh Hadera, ASAP Rocky, John Douglas Thompson, Dean Winters, LaChanze, Princess Nokia, and Ice Spice (in her film debut). The film had its world premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival out of competition, where it received positive reviews for its performances, music, and direction from Lee. Composer Howard Drossin and songwriter/performer Aiyana-Lee, who collaborated on the film's title track, were both kind enough to spend some time talking with us about their work and experiences working on the film, which you can listen to below.

Sie diskutieren, wie und warum das klassische Star-System (Marilyn Monroe, Stallone, Tom Cruise) dem lukrativen Franchise-System (Marvel, Star Wars, Fast & Furious) weichen musste.Erfahrt, warum Studios heute bewusst auf austauschbare Marken und "Intellectual Properties" (IPs) setzen, um Geld und Kontrolle zu maximieren und die Abhängigkeit von teuren Superstars wie Robert Downey Jr. oder Vin Diesel zu beenden. Es geht um die traurige Wahrheit, dass neue junge Zuschauer ikonische Kinostars wie Denzel Washington kaum noch kennen und wie KI und ChatGPT kreative Berufe und sogar die menschliche Fähigkeit zur Emotion bedrohen.

With the ever-capable journeyman director Mulcahy at the helm, a sturdy script from Die Hard writer Steven E. de Souza, and committed performances from Denzel Washington and John Lithgow, the film finds a way to make every one of its scenes memorable by maintaining its ludicrous energy from start to finish and finding lurid thrills behind every corner.We begin with an appraisal of our experiences with Ricochet, and the delight of finding a film marketed as a boilerplate thriller doing everything it can to shock and disarm you. Then, we examine the deceptively intelligent plotting of the film, pitting Denzel's Assistant DA Nick Styles - an ambitious Black lawyer seeking opportunity in the justice system- against not just Lithgow's psycopathic murderer on a quest for revenge but also the collective biases of the media and elite centers of institutional power that readily see Styles as an interloper in their predominantly white spaces. Finally, we discuss the rare position of Denzel as a movie star, how he stands singularly as both an actor of profound versatility and one that inhabits an intoxicating Movie Star persona.Follow Bilge Ebiri on Twitter....Our Denzember theme some is "Funk" by Oppo.

Lindsay explores a recurring biblical pattern: darkness descends, people despair, and God responds with unexpected new life—often in the smallest, most fragile form. Beginning with Isaiah 9, the sermon describes the fear and political collapse in ancient Judah as the Assyrian Empire threatened destruction. In the midst of national crisis, Isaiah announces hope using prophetic past tense—speaking of God's future salvation as if it has already happened: “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light.” God's promised solution is surprising: a baby. Historically, this refers to Hezekiah, who eventually became a faithful king. But Christians also understand Isaiah's words as pointing forward to Jesus, born 700 years later during yet another time of oppression — this time under Rome. Again, God's response to overwhelming power is the quiet arrival of a child. Lindsay teaches that this ancient pattern still repeats today. In a world filled with darkness—personal, social, or global—God continues to bring forth new life, sometimes dramatic, sometimes subtle, but always powerful enough to push back the shadows. We are not asked to create the light; that is God's work. Our role is to notice it, trust it, rejoice in it, and live as though God's future is already unfolding. A modern illustration comes from Denzel Washington, who received a prophetic word as a struggling college student. Believing that God was at work shaped his choices, career, and sense of purpose. His story mirrors the message of Isaiah: when God speaks hope into darkness, new life breaks forth—and it is enough. fmhouston.com

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Denzember 2 kicks off with a conversation about Spike Lee and Denzel Washington's first collaboration, 1990's Mo' Better Blues, a film about jazz, art-making, and the pursuit of greatness at the expense of personal relationships. The terrific Minnie Zondi is our guest! We discuss the film's tepid reception upon release, and how a (predominantly white) critical audience failed to understand the political dimensions of a film about Black music and its commercial and social appropriation. Then, we reflect on Spike Lee's career and his brilliant cohort of collaborators, including composer Terence Blanchard (making his first appearance on a Spike Lee soundtrack), cinematographer Ernest R. Dickerson, and the electric stylings of costume designer Ruth E. Carter. Finally, we reflect on the movie's complicated ending, and what we're to make of its reflections on artistry, family, and whether exceptional talents can hold the two in balance.

In this episode, we break down Training Day — Antoine Fuqua's gritty, tense, and unforgettable crime thriller starring Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke. We dive into Denzel's Oscar-winning performance as Alonzo Harris, one of the most manipulative and complex characters in film history. We explore the film's themes of morality, power, and corruption, analyzing how Fuqua's direction and David Ayer's sharp script created one of the most realistic portrayals of law enforcement ever put on screen. From the psychological tension to the unforgettable one-liners, we break down why Training Day stands as one of the best crime dramas of all time — and why its message still hits hard today.   Chapters: 00:00 Denzel Washington you bad mother f... 5:22 Analyzing Alonzo's evil 20:56 Denzel's insane improv in this movie 32:06 The excellent casting choices 36:43 The craziest day in movie history 41:25 Denzel's upset Oscar win 44:04 Alonzo refuses to not be the top dog 46:18 Some details you missed 1:02:44 Our official rating & final thoughts 1:06:55 Cue the music

In this bonus episode of Selective Ignorance, host Mandii B welcomes the “classmates” for a lively, interactive assembly, kicking off with a warm introduction and playful nod to community-driven conversation [00:00 Introduction to Selective Ignorance]. The episode quickly jumps into one of the most talked-about topics among women—traveling with friends—as Mandii and the group unpack the unspoken rules, expectations, and preparation involved in group trips, playfully coined the Black Girl Travel Checklist [00:58 Traveling with Friends: The Black Girl Travel Checklist]. From there, the classmates dive into moments of personal ignorance and growth, sharing candid stories that highlight how humor, vulnerability, and participation fuel real conversation [05:42 Ignorant Moments: Class Participation and Sharing]. The discussion shifts to the delicate balance between critique and disrespect in the entertainment industry, sparked by reactions to Denzel Washington’s latest film and the importance of giving honest feedback to even the most respected creatives [09:56 Critique in the Entertainment Industry: Denzel Washington's Latest Film]. This leads into a deeper exploration of the challenges of critiquing cultural icons like Beyoncé and J. Cole, and how fandom, loyalty, and cultural pressure often silence honest opinion [17:25 The Challenge of Critiquing Icons: Beyoncé and J. Cole]. Pop culture continues with a conversation about Ryan Murphy’s new show and Kim Kardashian’s acting performance, questioning talent, opportunity, and industry access [23:37 Ryan Murphy's New Show: Kim Kardashian's Acting Skills]. The group then debates movie date etiquette, unpacking expectations around the “perfect first date,” gender norms, and financial responsibility [29:21 Dating Etiquette: The Movie Date Debate]. The conversation takes an unexpected but fascinating turn into legal consequences of infidelity, discussing the rarely known law of Alienation of Affection—and whether someone can actually be sued for ruining a marriage [39:07 Suing for Infidelity: The Case of Alienation of Affection]. Mandii then pivots toward larger societal concerns, examining the crisis in healthcare education and how policy changes are reshaping student access, training quality, and future care [45:15 Healthcare Education Crisis: The Impact of Policy Changes], followed by a breakdown of Project 2025, exploring its political implications and potential impact on everyday Americans [48:41 Unpacking Project 2025]. Back in celebrity culture, the classmates analyze relationship accountability, diving into the blurred lines between privacy, morality, and public perception [51:26 Celebrity Relationships and Accountability], before exploring Usher’s legal battle involving friends, dissecting loyalty, business, and personal boundaries [59:04 Usher's Legal Battle with Friends]. The episode wraps with a spirited conversation on tipping culture, debating when tipping is appropriate, whether it's becoming an expectation versus a reward, and how service standards have evolved [01:16:58 Tipping Culture and Service Expectations]. “No Holes Barred: A Dual Manifesto Of Sexual Exploration And Power” w/ Tempest X!Sale Link Follow the host on Social MediaMandii B Instagram/X @fullcourtpumps Follow the guest on Social Media @jayjurden Follow the show on Social MediaInstagram @selectiveignorancepodTiktok @selective.ignoranceX/Twitter @selectiveig_podSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This marks Powell's first big box office miss, when compared to openings for Twisters, Top Gun: Maverick, and Anybody But You, but the action film did have to compete against Predator: Badlands, which is holding strong at the box office still.Nintendo and Illumination have released the first trailer for Super Mario Galaxy, the follow up to 2023's hit The Super Mario Brothers Movie.

The film is currently set for release in May of 2027.Peacock has renewed Twisted Metal for a third season, with David Reed taking over as showrunner and executive producer following Michael Jonathan Smith's exit.

Spike Lee and Denzel Washington connected again for the movie Hightes 2 Lowest. Upcoming rapper/actor Asap Rocky also appeared in the movie to bring his flavor to it. The movie seemed to get hardly any reviews online and people aren't talking much about it, in my opinion. In this podcast, Cool Water goes in to why the movie just didn't connect with the larger audience. Spike Lee has a long history of making movies that miss the mark and this movie seems to be another.

I was inspired by an interview that I saw with Denzel Washington and Spike Lee and was enamored by how Denzel stood on business about not needing validation from anything or anyone. I found the perfect song to fit the conversation because there's a song for everything. Here's one about letting go of the bullshi* and setting boundaries.If you enjoyed this, come again and bring a friend! Books by me on byayanaellis.com

Welcome to the second part of my interview with award-winning journalist Beth Macy, author of the brand new book “Paper Girl: A Memoir of Home and Family in a Fractured America” about how politics has divided her hometown of Urbana, Ohio and even her own family. It's a hard, heart-stirring read for anyone who wonders, “How did we get here? And how can we come back together.”Beth is also the author of “Dopesick” about the about the opioid crisis–which was also turned into an Emmy-award winning Hulu series–and “Factory Man” about how the effects of globalization have taken a toll on small rural communities.In this episode, we get into some of the thornier questions about writing, especially writing about polarizing topics–including family.We cover:- Why she makes it a point to include humor even in the darkest stories she tells (like babies being born addicted to opiates)- Keeping her mom's spirit alive by writing about her in “Paper Girl”- How interviewing her ex-boyfriend for “Paper Girl” flew right past awkward and into threatening–and how she dealt with it- What she does to get through those “what do I do now??” moments- How her husband helped her find the opening scene to “Dopesick”- Her recently acquired skill of consulting “future Beth” when anxiety starts creeping in- Her best interviewing question that she got from Denzel Washingon- The one rule of newspaper reporting she thinks is total B.S.--and how she got around it without breaking it, directly, when she was on staff at the Roanoke TimesConnect with Beth on Bluesky and/or Instagram @bethmacy.For full show notes with links to everything we discuss, plus bonus photos!, visit katehanley.substack.com.Thank you for listening!And thanks to this week's sponsor, Air Doctor Pro.

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 125 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys discuss the final film in their Hughes Brothers series, The Book of Ell (2010). In their final collaboration as an artist pair, the Hughes Brothers take a dive into the end of the world, action genre where a man is roaming from town to town, searching for the haven of humanities last chance for hope within a broken country, where water is a privilege and knowledge is a weapon. In a making a film about the hunt for the last bible on Earth, the brothers tackle the rotten core of our humanity when faced up against each other, and the lust for power something as simple as a book can bring out of people. This plus it's just a cool idea for an action movie where Denzel Washington is being the best movie star on the planet and Gary Oldman is doing his villain thing that he does so well. But the real question with The Book of Eli is, why isn't it an all timer, why does it look the way it does, and why was this the last film the Hughes Brothers made together? Ryan and Jay breakdown all these questions, as well as look at the careers of Washington, Oldman, and Mila Kunis, what they learned from this series, what the Hughes Brothers are doing now, give their series rankings for the sibling duo, and preview their next director series. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 2h22m. The guys will be back next week to begin their new series on the films of Claire Denis with a review of her film, Chocolate. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it. Music: MUSICALIFE, from Pond5 (intro) and "B-3" from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

Two acting titans, Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington, go head-to-head aboard a nuclear submarine when a questionable missile launch order arrives.

The Dames are back with Halloween hangovers and the start of Noirvember! This month, we're looking at neo-noirs set in 40s/50s LA. We begin with Devil in a Blue Dress, starring peak Denzel Washington as Easy Rawlins, an out-of-work machinist who gets caught up in the search for a missing woman, leading him into the seedy underworld and racist high society of the City of Angels. Next week, we'll go into even more sun-soaked political corruption and police brutality with LA Confidential!

In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B, alongside super producer A-King and journalist Jayson Rodriguez, dives into a timely and layered conversation about the fine line between critiquing and hating — and how that distinction shapes modern culture, creativity, and discourse. The episode opens with an introduction and book promotion [00:00], followed by a warm welcome to Selective Ignorance [00:38] that sets the stage for an engaging and introspective discussion on the culture of critique and haters [00:57]. Mandii, A-King, and Jayson unpack the difference between constructive feedback and negativity, especially within the entertainment industry. Their conversation transitions into a broader dialogue on Black art and criticism [02:35], where they examine how cultural expression often faces unfair scrutiny compared to mainstream counterparts. The tone remains conversational yet insightful as they introduce the super producer [03:37] — with A-King adding a behind-the-scenes lens to the discussion — before diving into language learning and cultural references [04:16], exploring how global influences shape both art and perception. The hosts briefly pivot to Bad Bunny’s political commentary [06:16], discussing how artists use their platforms for activism and the public’s polarizing reactions to it. The energy stays dynamic as Mandii shares career updates and her new radio show [09:11], giving listeners a peek into her professional growth and reflections on navigating media spaces. This leads naturally into a deeper conversation about the music industry [16:24], the blurred lines between artistry and business, and the constant evolution of creative identity. As the dialogue progresses, the hosts examine the power of social media and public perception [21:35], analyzing how online platforms amplify both critique and hate. They consider the challenges artists face when every opinion becomes public property and every misstep a trending topic. The group transitions to expectations and criticism in art [28:23], exploring how audience bias, nostalgia, and personal preference influence what’s celebrated and what’s condemned. The conversation takes a cinematic turn as Mandii, A-King, and Jayson begin diving into film critiques [40:43], starting with Marlon Wayans’ film Him [41:39]. Mandii praises the project for its symbolism and layered themes [42:23], describing how it thoughtfully examines identity, faith, and self-reflection. The discussion briefly detours into football culture and American society [43:53], drawing parallels between competitive spirit in sports and the cutthroat nature of creative industries. Next, the team tackles critiquing the critics [46:27], reflecting on how discourse itself can become toxic — especially when audiences conflate differing opinions with hate. This meta moment sets up their review of Spike Lee and Denzel Washington’s ‘Highest to Lowest’ [52:49], where Mandii delivers an unfiltered yet thoughtful analysis of the film’s creative shortcomings and emotional intent. They analyze ‘Highest to Lowest’ in depth [56:15], exploring how execution, storytelling, and audience expectations intersect in shaping reception. As the discussion unfolds, they reflect on the art of critique and audience reactions [01:01:57], questioning whether social media has made honest conversation about art nearly impossible without backlash. The hosts then share their favorite films and personal preferences [01:13:43], grounding the discussion in a shared appreciation for storytelling and diverse perspectives. The episode wraps with final thoughts and an outro [01:19:17], where the trio emphasizes the value of open-mindedness, empathy, and balance when engaging with art — reminding listeners that critique, when done with care, is an act of love, not hate. “No Holes Barred: A Dual Manifesto Of Sexual Exploration And Power” w/ Tempest X!Sale Link Follow the host on Social MediaMandii B Instagram/X @fullcourtpumps Follow the guest on Social Media Hey Assante Instagram @heyassante Follow the show on Social MediaInstagram @selectiveignorancepodTiktok @selective.ignoranceX/Twitter @selectiveig_podSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Found an eye-opening post from Mind Essentials (@Mind_Essentials) where a quote from Denzel Washington was shared that said this: “Always be thankful for the bad things in life. They open your eyes to see the good things you weren't paying attention to before.”  Again, it's not that I want bad things to happen to me just so I can learn lessons. It's a reminder to have my eyes open more often than just when bad things happen. It's how I respond when things get tossed at me and remember gratitude is something to have all the time. Talk about a great gameplan to always be motivated about!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.
