New episode out now! We watched the 1991 neo-noir film Dead Again, directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh and also featuring Emma Thompson, Derek Jacobi, and Andy Garcia. We wonder how we've never heard of this film because of the stacked cast, discuss how the personal history of Branagh and Thompson may have colored our perception of the film, get frustrated at the male ego and the need to be a hero, and debate how the movie would have felt with different actors. We discuss the concept of past lives and fate and how they were utilized in the story, think the old age makeup was terrible, have major issues with romancing an amnesiac, and debate the success of what the movie was trying to do. Katy pitches a TV show, Carrie got a warm heart hug while watching, Maddy wants to be in a weird old elevator, and Mack is not on Blue's Clues. We also talk about where we've seen the filming locations before, think the accents are not great, get annoyed at water, and mention Buffy multiple times. Listen to hear more about soulmates, Robin Williams, claddagh ring traditions, Georgia O'Keeffe, pronouncing “Jacobi” wrong, and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Enjoy!TW: Infidelity, drug use, amnesia consent issues, fatphobia, domestic violence, animal carcass mention

In this wrap-up episode, we reflect on our journey through Shakespeare's King Henry V by examining three distinct productions that bring the play to life in unique ways. We begin with Kenneth Branagh's 1989 Oscar-nominated film adaptation, renowned for its realism and cinematic approach. Next, we delve into the 2022 Donmar Warehouse production starring Kit Harington, which frames Henry's leadership through a modern lens. Finally, we discuss the 2012 Shakespeare's Globe production with Jamie Parker, which offers a more traditional yet energetic take on the play. By comparing these interpretations, we explore how different directorial choices and performances can influence our understanding of the play's themes, characters, and historical context.

My guest this week is Alexis Langlois, director of the film Queens of Drama — a musical love story about two performers who enter a forbidden romance behind the scenes of a pop-star competition. Alexis has been making films with a troupe of irregulars for years, inspired by John Waters' Dreamlanders and the recurring actors in the films of David Lynch. His style is scrappy, independent, political, and very queer … so you can imagine his surprise when he was invited to present his latest work at Cannes.We'll have that conversation in a minute. First — if you've been watching the latest season of Drag Race All Stars, you've seen Bosco and Irene the Alien absolutely stealing the show with great looks, funny banter, and a mischievous friendship. And you can get even more of that Irene and Bosco magic — having an absolute riot playing Dungeons & Dragons. A couple years ago Bosco and Irene joined me and my partner James for a D&D adventure, and we just posted the full audio for you to check out. Over six hours of these two drag stars on a fun, chaotic fantasy romp. You don't need to know anything about D&D to listen — it's basically like an audiobook that you can put on to enjoy while you're doing something else. I think you'll love it — Here's a link: https://youtu.be/rD8tJTtAMYA And if you're enjoying The Sewers of Paris, I hope you'll consider supporting the show on Patreon.

A new film called Lavender Men comes to theaters this month, and streaming in June — it's about a theatrical stage manager who daydreams about her connection to Abraham Lincoln through queer romance. I'm chatting with two of the folks involved in the film this week: Lovell Holder directed the film, and Roger Q. Mason is the writer and star. They're longtime collaborators, going back to college when Lovell was entranced by Roger's performance in Romeo and Juliet as the Nurse. And this film is just one step in their plans to change the world.We'll have that conversation in a minute.

This... episode... is for YOU! Grab your scissors and your faux American accents as NostalgiaCast continues its "Bucket List" season of '90s favorites with a hypnotic look back at DEAD AGAIN, starring Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson, and Robin Williams. Listen as Jonny and Darin recount their history with Branagh as actor, filmmaker, and connoisseur of Shakespeare, and how his attempt at a bombastic Grand Guignol neo-noir murder-mystery with a supernatural bent will either bore you or leave you mute with fear. 

My guest this week is the writer, director, and co-star of the new Argentinian film Most People Die on Sundays. Iair grew up watching soap operas, pulled into on-screen melodramas. And now as an adult, he gets to make movies and work alongside the actors he used to watch on his favorite shows.

Aprovechamos el fallecimiento de una de las grandes estrellas de la televisión internacional: Richard Chamberlain, Juan Luis Álvarez habla de su gran éxito El pájaro espino, y de otros clásicos que paralizaron el país en su momento:Yo, Claudio y Luz de luna. Son Enseriados legendarios. El pájaro espino (1 temporada, 4 episodios) Miniserie de 4 episodios, basada en la novela de Colleen McCullough. Famosa miniserie ambientada en Australia y centrada en la tortuosa vida del cura católico Ralph de Bricassart (Richard Chamberlain), un ambicioso sacerdote con el corazón dividido entre el amor a Dios y al sacerdocio, y el amor terrenal y pasional por la bella e inocente Meggie Carson (Rachel Ward). Chamberlain triunfó en esta serie y en otras tan populares como Shogun y Doctor Kildare Lo mejor: El reparto de viejas glorias con una espléndida Bárbar Stanwyck a la cabeza. Lo peor: La descafeinada continuación "Los años perdidos". Trailer Yo, Claudio (Fimin, 1 temporada, 10 episodios) La serpiente / Lujuria / Traiciones / Nasty dinasty / Yo, Tiberio Claudio César Augusto Germánico… Miniserie de TV de 13 episodios. Claudio, Emperador de Roma, viendo aproximarse el final de su vida, decide escribir la historia de su familia (dinastía julio-claudia) desde el año 50 a.C. al 50 d.C. La Sibila ha profetizado que esta historia llegará a la posteridad. Adaptación del texto del célebre escritor e historiador Robert Graves, y que presenta, con finas dosis de humor y un toque de inocencia, al emperador Claudio y su visión de aquellos turbulentos años en los que sobrevivir era un milagro, salvo que te tomara por tonto e inofensivo... Lo mejor: El reparto. Derek Jacobi, Brian Blessed, Sian Phillips, John Hurt... Lo peor: Que se grabó en video y su conservación es compleja... Trailer Luz de luna (Fimin, 66 episodios, 5 temporadas) La serie gira alrededor de los casos investigados por una agencia de detectives Luna Azul al frente de la cual están Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes (Cybill Shepherd), antigua modelo y David Addison (Bruce Willis), de profesión : vago. La serie cuenta con una mezcla de misterio, diálogos agudos y una tensión sexual entre sus dos protagonistas. El hilo argumental comienza con un revés de la suerte para la ex modelo, Hayes, que se encuentra arruinada después de que su contable desfalque todos sus activos líquidos. Se queda con varios negocios fallidos que se mantenían como tapaderas para la evasión de impuestos, uno de las cuales es la agencia de detectives en la ciudad de Los Ángeles y al frente de la cual se encuentra el despreocupado David Addison. Lo mejor: La química entre Willis y Sheperd, por más que se odiaran en la vida real. Lo peor: Que se la pueda considerar un trabajo menor, cuando fue pionera en su género junto con Remington Steele. Trailer

Send us a textFrom boarding school trauma to embodying one of fiction's greatest detectives, Michael Maloney's theatrical journey reveals how life's most difficult experiences often forge our greatest strengths. The acclaimed British Actor joins us from his dressing room in Birmingham—fresh from celebrating his 100th performance as Hercule Poirot in the touring production of Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express"With disarming honesty, Michael explores how being sent away from home at age 7 permanently altered his sense of belonging. "You cease to become a member of a family immediately," he reflects, describing how this early separation forced him into premature self-sufficiency while creating emotional wounds he would later need to address. This experience, along with his Roman Catholic upbringing, established complex foundations that would eventually serve his acting career in unexpected ways.The conversation shifts to his transformative years at the Royal Shakespeare Company, where Michael found himself amidst theatrical royalty—Derek Jacobi, Michael Gambon, Helen Mirren, and a young Mark Rylance. Their anarchic creativity, set against the backdrop of early 80s punk and new wave, shaped his understanding of classical discipline and theatrical expression. "We were all over the shop," he laughs, "and enjoying ourselves."Michael's reflections on the power of the spoken word reveal his deep appreciation for poetry and heightened language. He shares how sports provides a perfect metaphor for performance: some nights you win, some you lose, some you draw—but you always return to play again. This philosophy has helped him navigate the highs and lows of theatrical reviews throughout his career.Now at 67, finding himself unexpectedly cast as Poirot, Michael approaches each performance with the discipline earned through decades of classical training. When asked about his legacy, his answer is characteristically straightforward: "A proper actor... of significance and stature." Join us for this intimate conversation with a performer who has continuously found new ways to transform life's challenges into art.Tune in next week for more stories of 'Distinction & Genius' from The Good Listening To Show 'Clearing'.

Ryan and Dylan watch this year's Barbenheimer double feature phenomenon Glicked, featuring the mesmerizing Wicked and the brutal Gladiator II.

It's been 24 years since “Gladiator” took the world by storm and spawned a whole new era of swords and sandals movies. Will it's sequel “Gladiator II”, our movie for this week, do the same? We shall see. This time the main character is Lucius, who we met as a young boy in the original “Gladiator.” He's the son of Lucilla, and it's revealed in the trailers, the son of Maximus, Russell Crowe's character from “Gladiator.” Lucius suffers a tragedy early in the movie and is made a slave and then rises up as a gladiator for Macrinus, played by Denzel Washington. Macrinus is not all he appears to be and is proven to be power hungry and wants to use Lucius as his instrument for power. Another main character is General Acacius, played by Pedro Pascal, who is the leader of the Roman army who fight for Emperor Geta and Emperor Caracalla, played by Joseph Quinn and Fred Hechinger respectively. Acacius isn't exactly excited anymore to be dispatched like an errand boy by these emperors to kill people all over the world and conquer lands. Connie Nielsen returns to play Lucilla and as she sees a particular gladiator fight in the Colosseum, she starts to get a feeling that she knows this man. All of these worlds will collide. Sometimes sequels surpass the quality of the original. Does “Gladiator II” accomplish that feat? Check out this episode to find out! “Gladiator II” also stars Derek Jacobi, Yuval Gonen, Rory McCann, Peter Mensah, Matt Lucas, Tim McInnerny, Alexander Karim and Lior Raz.  Support the showFeel free to reach out to me via:@MoviesMerica on Twitter @moviesmerica on InstagramMovies Merica on Facebook

Over the next few years, Scott offered occasional updates, including the possible involvement of the original film's lead actor, Russell Crowe, along with plot ideas about the Roman afterlife and different historical time periods. Development was halted when DreamWorks sold the rights to the property to Paramount in 2006. The film was finally announced in 2018, and Mescal was cast in the lead role in January 2023, with a script by Scarpa. The rest of the cast signed on over the next several months. Filming took place between June 2023 and January 2024, with a five-month hiatus due to the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes.Gladiator II had its world premiere in Sydney, Australia, on October 30, 2024, and was released in the United Kingdom on November 15, and in the United States on November 22.

Gladiator II opened in UK theaters on November 15 with a U.S. release through Paramount Pictures a week after on November 22.

In anticipation of the upcoming release of “Gladiator II”, I'm retro-reviewing the Best Picture Oscar-winning original “Gladiator” this episode. You will not have to ask if you're entertained with this review because “Gladiator” is one of the most beloved movies of all time. It's the movie that made even your Grandma aware of who Russell Crowe was. It launched a whole era of swords and sandals movies and TV series afterwards. It won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Crowe playing General Maximus Decimus Meridius, father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife who would have his vengeance in this life, or the next. Many motivational and meme-worthy quotes were introduced into the zeitgeist by this movie: “Are you not entertained?”, “What we do in life, echoes in eternity.” I could go on, and I will, in this episode all about this Ridley Scott classic about a Roman general, made a slave, who became a gladiator then later, the savior of Rome. You could consider this part of your “homework” for brushing up on what happened in “Gladiator” before you rush out to see “Gladiator II.” “Gladiator” also stars Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Djiman Hounsou, Oliver Reed, Richard Harris, Derek Jacobi, David Schofield, John Schrapnel, Tomas Arana, Ralf Moeller, Spencer Treat Clark, David Hemmings, Tommy Flanagan and Sven-Ole Thorsen. Support the showFeel free to reach out to me via:@MoviesMerica on Twitter @moviesmerica on InstagramMovies Merica on Facebook

Our final episode on Best Picture nominees from 2000 is here. It's time to talk Gladiator. Ridley Scott's Best Picture winning epic follows Maximus, a disgraced Roman general on a quest for vengeance. Russell Crowe won an Oscar for his performance, and he is joined by Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Djimon Hounsou, Derek Jacobi, Richard Harris, and Oliver Reed in his final performance. Fans of Gladiator have found a rewatchable classic; detractors say it's too conventional and poorly written. Where will our hosts land? Next week: Gladiator II! How do you feel about Gladiator? Are you excited for Gladiator II? Let us know at cinemaontappodcast@gmail.com

Robert Winfree and Mark Radulich present our Gladiator 2000 Movie Review!Gladiator is a 2000 historical epic film directed by Ridley Scott and written by David Franzoni, John Logan, and William Nicholson from a story by Franzoni. It stars Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Oliver Reed, Derek Jacobi, Djimon Hounsou, and Richard Harris. Crowe portrays the Roman general Maximus Decimus Meridius, who is betrayed when Commodus, the ambitious son of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, murders his father and seizes the throne. Reduced to slavery, Maximus becomes a gladiator and rises through the ranks of the arena, determined to avenge the murders of his family and the emperor.The screenplay, initially written by Franzoni, was inspired by the 1958 Daniel P. Mannix novel Those About to Die. The script was acquired by DreamWorks Pictures, and Scott signed on to direct the film. Principal photography began in January 1999 and wrapped in May of that year. Production was complicated by the script being rewritten multiple times and by the death of Oliver Reed before production was finished.Gladiator had its world premiere in Los Angeles, California, on May 1, 2000. The film was released in the United States on May 5, 2000 by DreamWorks and internationally on May 12, 2000 by Universal Pictures. The film grossed $465.4 million worldwide, becoming the second highest-grossing film of 2000, and won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Crowe. A sequel, Gladiator II, was released in November 2024.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

This week, as Gladiator II hits the theaters to repeat the same beats of its predecessor and prove that what we do in life truly does echo in eternity, we circle back to the original to cross a movie off of Hayley's list and get her hyped to see some hunks on the IMAX screen. It's 2000's Gladiator, directed by Ridley Scott, and starring Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Oliver Reed, Richard Harris, Derek Jacobi, Djimon Hounsou, Tommy Flanagan and Spencer Treat Clark. A somewhat controversial Best Picture winner at the time, it has remained one of Scott's most celebrated pictures despite hardly being his best. While it may not match the heights of his sci-fi output, it is unquestionably the high-water mark of his Medieval Mode, very much in line with subsequent efforts like Kingdom of Heaven, Robin Hood and The Last Duel, and is still a hugely entertaining sword-and-sandal revenge epic that lifted its two lead actors to another level of stardom. Plus: We get pissed off about the Coca-Cola AI Christmas commercial. If you'd like to watch the movie before listening along to our discussion, Gladiator is currently streaming (in Canada at least) on both Netflix and Paramount+ at the time of publication. Other works discussed on this episode include Past Lives, Stop Making Sense, Mission: Impossible - Fallout, Alien, Blade Runner, Prometheus, Alien: Covenant, Aliens, In Cold Water: The Shelter Bay Mystery, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, The X-Files (S5E04 "Detour"), Good Bones, Super Mario Party Jamboree, The Holdovers, The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Red One, The Brave Little Toaster, Traffic, Erin Brockovich, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Shadow of the Vampire and Crash, among others. We'll be back next week to wrap up No-Theme-ber with our monthly canon consideration, as Hayley's got the keys to the vault this month and is using them to induct the Coen Brothers' 2007 crime classic No Country For Old Men, which is currently streaming north of the border on both Netflix and Amazon Prime. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!

“This will be a particularly ignorant episode… from an historical standpoint” - Steve, on WHM's lack of history education On this week's special We ❤️ Movies episode, we're chatting about Royal Rid's 2000-era action epic, Gladiator! How great of a run did this film set off for Russell Crowe? How easily eerie is Joaquin here? Did Jesse Ventura try to snag an audition along with Sven-Ole? How intense is that tiger sequence? Is the CGI'd Oliver Reed the first cinematic instance of Hollywood going to Tarkin Town and should we be calling it Oliver Reed-ville instead? And how funny is that “They Say No” decapitation? PLUS: How is this movie only one of THREE times Royal Rid was nominated for Best Director?  Gladiator stars Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Richard Harris, Derek Jacobi, Djimon Hounsou, David Schofield, John Shrapnel, Ralf Moeller, Spencer Treat Clark, David Hemmings, Tommy Flanagan, Sven-Ole Thorsen, and Oliver Reed as Proximo; directed by Ridley Scott.

Sorry for the late update, everybody - we got trapped in one of those two-person horse costumes for like 48 hours, really really scary. But we're back to talk pretty seriously about Paul Schrader's 2008 literary adaptation ADAM RESURRECTED, the story of a German Jewish clown who becomes a concentration camp commander's human dog and then finds himself the Van Wilder of an Israeli psychiatric facility after the war. It is at once a very relevant and profoundly unhelpful film for the current moment, but we do our best to get to the bottom of the ideas at work here. We recorded this a few weeks ago, so facts about Israel's genocide of the people of Palestine are that many weeks old as we post this, to say nothing of whenever you find yourself listening to it. But, as ever: free Palestine.

Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 should have been a slam dunk for box office.  Kevin Costner behind and in front of the camera for a very large scale Western released in multiple theatrical chapters.  Somehow, though, it's not a box-office success.

We bonded over swearing. And, although I'm not one to brag: Danny Dyer said it suits me. DANNY F***ING DYER! I mean. I know this is a podcast about failure, but surely that's a major life achievement? Anyway, I digress… Today's guest was born in East London and had a challenging childhood - his parents split when he was nine after his mother discovered Danny's father had a secret family. Acting was, in many ways, his escape from everyday life. He started in his teens, and was soon acting alongside luminaries such as Helen Mirren, Mark Rylance, Daniel Craig and Derek Jacobi. In his 20s, his mentor was the playwright Harold Pinter - someone Danny considers a father figure in his life, and who he has as the screensaver on his phone. We talk about what he learned from his drug addiction and his subsequent rehab, including one panic-inducing story about being on stage and forgetting his lines after spending the night before smoking crack in New York. It's an extraordinary tale of resilience and self-growth and I really appreciate Danny's honesty in telling it. We also talk about what psychics say to him, his concerns over his daughter becoming famous, his royal heritage and why he might have got the wrong dog. Danny's show Mr Bigstuff is out on Sky - Wednesday 17th July How to Fail is going on a live tour in Spring 2025, presented by Hayu!
