Podcasts about Dog Day Afternoon

Each spring, in the months leading up to the Tony Awards, Wesley Morris tries to see as many Broadway shows as he can. And this season's spree (including “Ragtime,” “Cats: The Jellicle Ball,” “Proof,” “Dog Day Afternoon” and “Giant") left him with the question: Where are the challenging shows? There were some great performances, but the productions seemed designed to reflect his values and make him feel good. Doesn't the best theater raise uncomfortable questions, and not give clear answers? Shouldn't the shows vying for Broadway's top awards be a bit more difficult? To work through these feelings, and to help wrap his head around this season, Wesley invites Helen Shaw, The Times's chief theater critic, to compare notes.

In the second of my two-parter on Dog Day Afternoon, we get out of the fictional universe of the film and explore the real people behind the characters shown onscreen. John Wojtowicz' life proved truly stranger and more depressingly pedestrian than fiction. So much so that he preferred the fictional version of himself and performed that role for the rest of his life after being released from prison in 1978 until his death in 2006. The LIFE Magazine article that caught the attention of Pacino's producer and manager. A very good jailhouse interview with John Wojtowicz from the Village Voice's Cliff Jahr. The excellent documentary Based on a True Story: Dog Day Afternoon by the Dutch filmmaker Walter Stokman. The documentary that covers more of the end of John's life, The Dog. Pierre Huyghe's installation video art piece Third Memory, an indispensable part of understanding memory, film, and the roles we perform. I didn't get to this in the podcast but here's an unpublished essay John wrote to the NY Times reviewing the film. 1978 Washington Post profile of John, freshly out of prison.  

Whether you know Ebon Moss-Bachrach from THE BEAR, GIRLS, ANDOR, FANTASTIC FOUR, his extensive theater work, or his dozens of films, you know he's reliably excellent and as a human, perhaps one of the most unpretentious actors ever to appear on this podcast. He joins Josh to chat about it all including his new episode of THE BEAR he co-wrote and stars in with his longtime friend and DOG DAY AFTERNOON co-star Jon Bernthal.

In this episode of Half Hour, we take a deeper dive into the Broadway production of Dog Day Afternoon at the August Wilson Theatre. We walk through the true crime story behind the show, how the Oscar-winning film was adapted for the stage, and what shifts when a sweaty Brooklyn bank robbery plays out live in front of an audience. We break down the overall production, including Stephen Adly Guirgis' script, Rupert Goold's direction, and the balance between gritty tension and comedy. The conversation digs into performances from Jon Bernthal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, how this staging captures 1970s New York, and where the play lands in today's Broadway landscape. We also touch on critical reactions, Dog Day Afternoon's awards potential, and what they think works best in this limited engagement.

It's time for Life in the Fast Lane, for Vin Diesel to tell us about Cuba. First, though, is the Tokyo Drift Minute, which once again shows we have no grasp of how long these races take. (Also: how long will the world's longest runway scene take for us to cover?) Then, Vin has been busy on Instagram, including penning some LONG posts - and accidentally tapping into a new feature. Are we 1 year, 11 months away from... an extinction-level event? Ludacris has us worried. (Also: Get your guesses in for The Rock's screentime in Fast Forever! Time is running out.) Vin teases a story about him and Charlize from the 90s (we need to know more!), and he continues to test the audience appetite for returning characters. We explore the credits of Michael Lesslie, the new screenwriter for Fast Forever, which also leads us to a new theory for @ReactionRocket's identity.

In this episode I spoke with author Rachel Walther about her book "Born To Lose: The Misfits Who Made Dog Day Afternoon". This is the plot of Dog Day Afternoon, the 1975 film directed by Sidney Lumet and starring Al Pacino, John Cazale, and Chris Sarandon. It remains a high-water mark of New Hollywood, where the best acting talent of the day came together on a film that was truly exceptional.

Jon Bernthal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach discuss their Broadway debut in "Dog Day Afternoon". Also, ways to budget for Easter essentials. Plus, new ways to plan ahead for vacation.

This week, we discuss the intense, ripped-from-the-headlines crime thriller, Dog Day Afternoon, a film that captures the sweltering heat and media circus of a Brooklyn bank robbery gone wrong.SPOILER ALERT We will be talking about this movie in its entirety, including the motives behind the heist and its tragic conclusion. If you plan on watching it, we strongly suggest you do so before listening to our takes.A Warner Bros. Pictures production. Released on September 21, 1975. Directed by Sidney Lumet. Written by Frank Pierson, based on the article "The Boys in the Bank" by P.F. Kluge and Thomas Moore. Starring Al Pacino, John Cazale, Charles Durning, and Chris Sarandon. Cinematography by Victor J. Kemper. Edited by Dede Allen.

Even without Al Pacino's name in its cast list, the new Dead Man's Wire would invite comparisons to Dog Day Afternoon in its dramatization of a real-life 1970s hostage situation turned public spectacle. Whether it benefits from comparisons to Sidney Lumet's 1975 crime classic is another question, one we take up in our discussion of Gus Van Sant's first new feature in eight years. After that, we bring Dog Day Afternoon back in for Connections, to consider how these two films about volatile, narcissistic men and their ostensibly populist schemes fit into the proud tradition of amateur-hour crime movies, and whether a modern film depicting Indianapolis half a century ago has any hope of evoking its setting the way Lumet captured contemporary 1970s New York.

Send us a textHello everyone, and welcome to season 4 of the Movie Roulette Tuesday Podcast!We have a lot in store for this season and to start we are shaking things up by.... dropping shake-ups.  But worry not!  We have something new and exciting to take their place.  We detail the changes in this episode.Kicking off the new season is our new theme, "The Criterion Collection".  Yes, all films this round need to have an esteemed place among the Criterion Collection or at least be available on the Criterion Channel... or maybe not... mistakes were made.Our first film is 1975's Dog Day Afternoon.  Starring Al Pacino and John Cazale, the film follows three amateur robbers who plan to hold up a Brooklyn bank. A nice, simple robbery: Walk in, take the money, and run. Unfortunately, the supposedly uncomplicated heist suddenly becomes a bizarre nightmare as everything that could go wrong does.  To top it all off, it's based on a true story.So welcome back everyone and thanks for listening!

In adapting the true story about a '70s hostage crisis that played out on television and in the public eye, Gus Van Sant's new Dead Man's Wire is just asking to be compared to 1975's Dog Day Afternoon — and who are we to resist an invitation to talk about yet another Sidney Lumet classic? So this week we revisit a film we have all previously seen and admired, but still has the ability to surprise with its unconventional approach to a bank robbery gone wrong, from its persistent sense of humor to its shifting perspective on Al Pacino's criminal protagonist. Then in Feedback, we continue the conversation about our podcast's namesake film, and answer a recurring question about our archives. Please share your thoughts about Dog Day Afternoon, Dead Man's Wire, or 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.

We're starting off the New Year racing against the clock with movies that unfold over the course of a single day—or night. From sunup-to-sundown classics like Dog Day Afternoon, to 24-hour pressure cookers such as Sinners, to noir thrillers that take place fully at night like Panic Room, we break down how filmmakers make limited time feel limitless. We also discuss comedies that utilize this format—Ferris Bueller's Day Off  and The Hangover, as well as action films, including Judgment Night and Collateral. Along the way, we ask why audiences are particularly drawn to stories about "surviving the night," how screenwriters raise the stakes with only hours to work with, and whether some genres pull off the “all in one day or one night” trick better than others.

John Cazale is one of the most extraordinary and heartbreaking figures in film history. Despite appearing in only five feature films, every one of them was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. In this video, Chris and Gerry explore the life, career, and lasting legacy of John Cazale - from The Godfather, and The Godfather Part II to Dog Day Afternoon, The Conversation, and The Deer Hunter. We discuss Cazale's unique acting style, his collaborations with directors like Francis Ford Coppola and Sidney Lumet, his relationships with co-stars including Al Pacino and Meryl Streep, and how his untimely death cut short one of the most remarkable careers in cinema history. Was John Cazale the greatest character actor of all time? Check out the show and decide for yourself.

In this episode of ATC International, we're going to the movies. We're looking at the real story behind the 1995 classic film, Dog Day Afternoon, starring Al Pacino. It's known as a classic heist flick. But the true story is based on the complicated gay relationship between a Vietnam veteran, and a man desperate to transition and live as a woman.

Widely regarded as one of the greatest sequels—and films—ever made, Part II deepens the tragedy of the Corleone family while mirroring past and present in devastating fashion. The film intercuts two parallel narratives: the ruthless consolidation of power by Michael Corleone (Al Pacino – Scarface, Dog Day Afternoon) in the late 1950s, and the immigrant rise of his father Vito Corleone, portrayed by Robert De Niro (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull) in a career-defining performance. As Michael tightens his grip on the family empire, paranoia and betrayal corrode his relationships, particularly with Kay Adams-Corleone (Diane Keaton – Annie Hall, Something's Gotta Give) and his brother Fredo (John Cazale – The Deer Hunter, Dog Day Afternoon). Meanwhile, young Vito's journey from Ellis Island to the streets of New York reveals the roots of the Corleone myth and the choices that shaped it.

A film about a man trying to fund a gender-affirming operation by robbing a bank sounds like a modern-day plot. But 50 years ago, that was the scenario for the classic film Dog Day Afternoon. We're featuring our interviews with director Sidney Lumet and with Al Pacino, who starred as the bank robber. Lumet gave his lead license to take the role as far as he wanted, and then pushed Pacino to do more. "It's really one of the best pieces of movie acting I've ever seen. It was blinding in its intensity, agonizingly painful," he told Terry Gross in 1988.Also, Maureen Corrigan reviews The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai which has been shortlisted for the Booker Prize.  Follow Fresh Air on instagram @nprfreshair, and subscribe to our weekly newsletter for gems from the Fresh Air archive, staff recommendations, and a peek behind the scenes.  Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
