Movie of the Year: 1971Dirty Harry (feat. Conor Kilpatrick from iFanboy!)The Dirty Harry podcast arrives this week on Movie of the Year: 1971, as the Taste Buds take on one of the most influential and contested crime films ever made. Don Siegel's thriller introduced the world to Inspector Harry Callahan — a San Francisco cop who operates on instinct, fury, and a very large handgun. Moreover, the film sparked a debate about justice, civil liberties, and the price of order that has never fully quieted. The Taste Buds are joined by Conor Kilpatrick of iFanboy for this Don Siegel Dirty Harry analysis, and they also cover 1971 ProStars and a special segment on the year in comic books.Episode Show Notes: What We CoverThis Dirty Harry 1971 film discussion covers a lot of ground. Below is a summary of the key talking points from the episode — a roadmap for listeners and a reference for anyone who wants to dig deeper after the fact.On Harry Callahan as a character: The panel opens by asking whether Harry is actually a hero or whether the film simply frames him as one. Conor argues that Eastwood's performance is so controlled and interior that the audience does the work of making Harry sympathetic — the film barely has to try. Ryan pushes back: Harry's righteousness is earned on screen because he is always right in his read of a situation, even when he is wrong in his methods. Mike lands somewhere in between, pointing out that Harry's body count by the end of the first film is genuinely troubling if you stop and count.On politics and the law: The Taste Buds spend significant time on Pauline Kael's famous "fascist" critique and whether it holds up. The consensus is that the film is more ambiguous than Kael allowed — but that the ambiguity is doing real work, and not always in a reassuring direction. The legal system in Dirty Harry is not just flawed; it is portrayed as an active obstacle to justice. That framing has consequences.On San Francisco: The panel discusses how Don Siegel uses the city as a visual argument — the geography of the chase scenes, the specific choice of Kezar Stadium as a set piece, and what it means to set this particular story in the city that had been the symbolic capital of American idealism just four years earlier.On 1971 in comics: Conor breaks down the Marvel vs. DC landscape of the year, the significance of the Spider-Man drug arc, and why Jack Kirby's Fourth World still does not get the mainstream recognition it deserves. Additionally, he and the Taste Buds find real thematic overlap between the comics and the film: both are grappling with institutions that have failed and individuals who step into the void.About the FilmDirty Harry (1971) was directed by Don Siegel and stars Clint Eastwood as Inspector Harry Callahan of the San Francisco Police Department. The film follows Callahan as he hunts the Scorpio Killer — a sadistic serial murderer loosely inspired by the real-life Zodiac Killer — while clashing repeatedly with a city bureaucracy unwilling to bend the rules. Harry has no such hesitation. Andrew Robinson plays Scorpio with chilling, unhinged intensity. The film's cat-and-mouse structure keeps the tension taut from its rooftop opening shot through its iconic waterfront finale.Furthermore, Dirty Harry arrived at a fraught cultural moment. Crime rates in major American cities were rising sharply. Public trust in government and police was eroding. Consequently, the film's portrait of a cop who gets results by any means necessary struck a powerful nerve. For more context alongside this Dirty Harry podcast, explore the full production history on the film's IMDb page.Produced by Warner Bros. and Malpaso Productions, the film features a propulsive score by Lalo Schifrin. Dirty Harry launched a five-film franchise and cemented Clint Eastwood as one of cinema's defining icons of controlled menace. It remains among the most debated American films of its era — a movie that means different things depending entirely on who is watching it. Listeners who enjoy this Dirty Harry podcast episode might also want to revisit our discussion of The French Connection, another 1971 film that wrestles with law enforcement, moral ambiguity, and the limits of the justice system.Guest Panelist: Conor Kilpatrick of iFanboyJoining the Taste Buds this week is Conor Kilpatrick, co-founder and longtime host at iFanboy — one of the most enduring comics media platforms on the internet. Conor co-founded iFanboy around 2000 alongside Josh Flanagan and Ron Richards, originally as a college email chain where friends traded weekly comic reviews. That chain became a website, then a podcast, then a 25-year institution in the comics world. Known as the "DC Guy" of iFanboy, Conor has spent decades explaining infinite Earths, multiple reboots, and the craft of visual storytelling with genuine enthusiasm and expertise. He brings that same depth of knowledge to the Dirty Harry podcast discussion this week.He is also the co-host of the Goodfellas Minute podcast and a co-founder of Great Northern Media. Moreover, his deep knowledge of 1971 comics makes him the ideal guest for this episode's special segment. His perspective on the cultural landscape of 1971 — what was happening in comics while Dirty Harry was in theaters — adds a dimension to this Dirty Harry 1971 film discussion that no other guest could bring. Welcome to Movie of the Year, Conor.Harry Callahan: The Dirty Harry Podcast's Central DebateHarry Callahan is one of American cinema's most complicated figures. On the surface, he is a blunt instrument — a man who solves problems with a .44 Magnum and withering silence. However, Siegel and Eastwood invest him with something far more ambiguous. Harry is genuinely competent, even brilliant, at what he does. The tragedy is that the system he serves refuses to reward competence over politics.Eastwood's performance is famously economical. He does not grandstand or seek sympathy. Notably, that restraint is precisely what makes Harry magnetic — audiences fill in the emotional gaps themselves, projecting onto a man who reveals almost nothing voluntarily. The Taste Buds discuss whether Harry reads as a hero, an antihero, or something the film itself cannot quite name. For contrast, consider how Gene Hackman's Popeye Doyle in The French Connection presents a similarly brutal cop — but one the film regards with considerably more irony.The "Do you feel lucky, punk?" monologue is among the most quoted speeches in 1970s cinema. Nevertheless, it is more than a catchphrase. It is a masterclass in character — Harry performing certainty he may not entirely feel, using psychology as a weapon when firepower is temporarily unavailable. Above all, it reveals a man who understands power in all its forms and deploys it with surgical precision.Politics, Justice, and the Law: A Don Siegel Dirty Harry AnalysisFew films from 1971 generated more critical controversy than Dirty Harry. Pauline Kael famously called it a fascist work of art in her widely-discussed review. Others defended it as a frank reckoning with a legal system too broken to protect its own citizens. Consequently, the film sits at the center of a political argument that has never fully resolved itself.The film's central tension is not, ultimately, between Harry and Scorpio. It is between Harry and the law itself. Time and again the legal system fails — releasing Scorpio on procedural grounds, blocking the investigation, prioritizing process over lives. Harry's response is to act outside those constraints entirely. Moreover, the film frames him as righteous for doing so, and that is precisely what troubled critics at the time.However, the Taste Buds push on this carefully. Does Dirty Harry endorse vigilantism, or does it simply portray it with unflinching honesty? The ending — Harry throwing his badge into the water — complicates any easy reading. Therefore, rather than celebrating his methods without reservation, the film may ultimately acknowledge that Harry's approach destroys him even as it saves others. This Don Siegel Dirty Harry analysis explores that tension without settling for easy answers. Listeners interested in how 1971 cinema handled political disillusionment should also visit our episode on A Clockwork Orange, which confronts similar questions from a radically different angle.San Francisco: A City in the WestSan Francisco is not merely a backdrop in Dirty Harry. It is a character. Don Siegel shoots the city with documentary precision — rooftops, construction sites, Kezar Stadium, winding streets, and the cold grey of the bay. As a result, San Francisco's geography becomes an extension of the film's moral landscape: beautiful, treacherous, and full of places the law cannot easily reach.The city of 1971 was in deep transition. The Summer of...

Cultists, it's the Seventieth anniversary of Don Siegel's Invasion Of The Body Snatchers. Something about the low budget B-Movie captured the zeitgeist of the McCarthy era, and it then later became a cult classic after its reassessment by the cinephile crowd.

Es ist vielleicht das berühmteste Gedicht der amerikanischen Literatur. Millionen von Schülern haben es auswendig gelernt. Es wird in Filmen von Don Siegel bis Quentin Tarratino zitiert und in der Fernserie „Die Sopranos“. John F. Kennedy verwendete es wiederholt am Ende von Reden. Robert Frost schrieb „Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening“ im Juni 1922 nach einer durchwachten Nacht. Für das Gedicht brauchte er nur wenige Minuten. Ein Wintergedicht, das im Sommer geschrieben wurde. Die Sendung erzählte von seiner Entstehung, seiner Bedeutung und seinem Ruhm. Von Jürgen Kaube SWR 2022

Jason Leigh is a member of 'The International Space Sciences Organization,' 'The UFO Scientific Research Center' and 'The American Legion.' He has been a UFO/Paranormal Investigator for over 30 years and worked in Broadcast TV-news and Production for almost 20 years as a live cameraman, editor, writer, ENG photographer and director. His film production company, Workhorse Productions, filmed the famed 1994, "Checks, Crooks and Counterfeits" (c) by Jason Leigh, which was used as a training film by National Food store chains, FDIC Banks and Law Enforcement Agencies in training to detect counterfeits and made National media news. It remains the ONLY such commercial training film in the world. Jason dabbled in acting, having served one year on the stage with The Repertory Theatre, completed Dr. Joe Siefifth's School for Southern Gentlemen and having a 'supporting cast part' in Clint Eastwood's movie, "The Beguiled," directed by the late and great, Mr. Don Siegel. Jason worked as a very young man in the writing of television and radio commercials as well as recording 'voice overs' of accented parts--at minimum wage. He attended various Universities and City Colleges throughout the USA, making the Dean's List for Academics and was the Editor of the Student Newspaper. He worked for NASA in the Top Security Level 'Final Testing' of the Space Shuttle Project, until a serious on-the-job injury ended his career. He is an Honorably Discharged U.S. Navy Veteran of the Vietnam War, having worked with the Navy SeaLs and assigned to the Hawaiian Armed Services Police. Jason Leigh is a 'proven clairvoyant,' of which ability, he attributes as a 'God-given-gift.' (for documents of proof). He is an Award Winning writer, Poet and Songwriter - with his website winning the acclaimed 'Golden Web Award' for seven (7) straight years. His sighting and videotaping of an 'undisputed' Broad-daylight UFO over Cleburne, Texas of June 11, 1995, remains "the Best Documented" case in the annals of Ufology and of scientific study. His published book (CD and e-book), "PowerGlide" details his lifelong experiences of clairvoyance and UFO sightings and contains this entire website and all published research papers and documents. He has been the guest of many of the leading radio talk show Hosts discussing paranormal topics for over 10 years.The XZBN Network Programming is brought to you by BEAUTIFUL MIND COFFEE - For the coffee that your brain will love, visit Beautiful Mind Coffee, www.beautifulmindcoffee.ca.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

It's Halloween, so we decided to do a "scary" one! Podcaster, author, and emissary from the City of Brotherly Love Trevor Strunk joins to discuss Robert Rodriguez's 1998 Breakfast-Club-Meets-Body-Snatchers riff The Faculty. Boasting a memorable cast of young up-and-comers and a script written by Scream-scribe Kevin Williamson, the film is both playfully self-aware and slyly subversive in its explorations of social hierarchies and the omnipresent 90s fixation with conformity to the monoculture. We begin by exploring how the film updates the Body Snatcher narrative, borrowing (and explicitly citing) the literary works of Robert A. Heinlen and Jack Finney, as well as both previous Body Snatchers film adaptations by Don Siegel and Philip Kaufman. Then, we contend with some of the movie's most intriguing premises - its assertions about capitalist hierarchies and how they maintain the oppression of marginalized out-groups as well as how American society impedes gratifying sexual expression (especially for women). Finally, we examine the deceptively cynical ending and what it suggests about the stickiness of the neoliberal order, its structural hold on the horizons of our sociopolitical imagination.

Wir feiern den Auftrakt in eine weitere Besprechungsreihe. Diesmal nehmen wir uns niemand Geringeren als "Dirty" Harry Callahan vor, Clint Eastwoods legendären Cop, der in San Francisco die bösen Buben mit seiner Magnum aufmischt. In Dirty Harry, dem ersten Teil von Don Siegel aus dem Jahr 1971, jagt Inspektor Harry Callahan einen skrupellosen Serienmörder, der San Francisco in Angst versetzt. Dabei gerät er immer wieder an die Grenzen des Gesetzes. Und wir stellen die Frage, wie weit man gehen darf, um das Böse aufzuhalten.

Un luogo in cui le parole possono essere letali quanto le pallottole, il progresso una minaccia e la Morte una garanzia. Uno scenario di atti crudeli ma anche di nobili gesti. Questo e molto di più è il Western cinematografico. Godiamocelo!Durante i primi anni del '900, Il vecchio West fu spettatore del tramonto definitivo di un'epoca e di un mito. E in pochi potevano ancora dire "io c'ero" o "io l'ho visto". Uno di questi è certamente il protagonista del secco ma avvincente "Old Henry", western che omaggia Hawks, Peckinpah e Don Siegel e con protagonista il mitico Tim Blake Nelson.

For Clint Eastwood's 90th birthday, hosts Christopher Funderburg and John Cribbs have each selected one of the actor/director's films to discuss. This Eastwood Double Feature looks at Don Siegel's The Beguiled and Eastwood's own Unforgiven, a pair of films that illustrate why the star-auteur achieved his iconic status while remaining hard to pin down as an artist. The intense hothouse sexual politics of The Beguiled and the irony-soaked destruction (and rebuilding) of myths found in Unforgiven serve as a jumping off point to exploring Eastwood's cinematic legacy, philosophies and elusive politics. It's an unflinching discussion of one of cinema's most towering, embattled, and controversial figures. The Pink Smoke site:

This week I'm recommending four crime films from the 1970s and early 80s. Each one centers on a planned job, bank heists, robberies, break-ins, and none of them go smoothly. The tone across these films is lean, serious, and focused on the people involved more than the action. There's a lot of attention to detail, and they hold up well.Charley Varrick (1973) Directed by Don Siegel. Walter Matthau plays a bank robber who ends up in the crosshairs of something bigger than expected. Matthau had just done more comedic work at the time, so this role stood out. Joe Don Baker plays a contract killer hired to clean things up. Lalo Schifrin did the score, which is sharp and suits the pace. It was based on the novel The Looters by John Reese.The Anderson Tapes (1971)Directed by Sidney Lumet. Sean Connery is a thief planning to rob an entire apartment building. The film stands out for how it handles surveillance. Almost every major character is being watched by police, by private groups, by government agencies. This was Christopher Walken's first film. The music is by Quincy Jones, and it's more experimental than you'd expect.Thief (1981) Michael Mann's first feature film. James Caan plays a professional safecracker who wants to get out after one last job. Mann used real tools and brought in actual former thieves to advise on the technical side. The film has a cold, exact feel. The soundtrack is by Tangerine Dream. It's shot in Chicago and uses the city well without overdoing it.The Getaway (1972) Directed by Sam Peckinpah. Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw star as a couple on the run after a robbery. The script was written by Walter Hill and based on a novel by Jim Thompson. The film was a big success when it came out and mixes action with slower moments of tension. McQueen did many of his own stunts. It's one of the more polished crime films of its time.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. This is a public episode.

Despite the kind of crappy craftsmanship and plotting that separates the movie Charley Varrick from the films of Ed Woods by just a hair (okay, that may be hyperbole but this is a bad movie), comedian Greg Dobrowski finds it hilariously entertaining. Jimmy, not so much - and to add insult to injury, Jimmy rented it when it was available for free on YouTube. No wonder he hated this movie.

As I began to prepare for my recent episode with Jason from Binge Movies on Fascism in Cinema, it occurred to me that this would be a fascinating ongoing series in the next year or two in American history. For the next episode of the series, we are looking at authoritarian violence and the idea of due process in our society, and how it can be reflected in films. Joining me for this episode is Darin Lundberg from NostalgiaCast and Back to Bluey, and listen to us discuss Don Siegel's "Dirty Harry", Paul Michael Glaser's "The Running Man", and Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises". It's a very different discussion, but one worth taking in. I hope you enjoy!

We're still fixated on HEISTS, people!!! Nick Langdon pops in to discuss Charley Varrick (1973), directed by Don Siegel, and then Hudson Hawk (1991), directed by Michael Lehmann. Walter Matthau gets dark and grisly under Siegel's immaculate directorial hand (even if he didn't get the movie at all, apparently) and Joel Silver lets Bruce Willis' ego off the leash completely (with the result that very few people got the movie at all). Underappreciated gems or not? You be the judge! And then see if you agree with us! It's not really possible to spoil Hudson Hawk (plot is kind of secondary), but we will call out Spoiler Territory for Charley Varrick. If you want to skip ahead from that point, you can rejoin the conversation at the 1:23:51 mark to avoid spoilers. Want to get in touch?

It's fairly well known that the role of Detective Harry Callahan was originally set to be played by Frank Sinatra, before he had to pull out as production neared. Yet when Clint Eastwood decided to accept, he had several versions of a script to choose from - and decided to put a call into someone he trusted: Don Siegel. The pair would go on to fashion a cinema classic. The journey to 2002's Anita And Me meanwhile began with the publication of Meera Syal's semi-autobiographical novel in 1996. Work began to then turn it into a film - but the challenge of making an independent film in the UK, with two young, unknown leads? That'd be quite the test. Stories of both are told in this episode.

A neo-noir following police detective Dan Madigan (Richard Widmark) who is on the hunt for a criminal who escaped custody on a routine pickup.  Co-starring Henry Fonda, Inger Stevens, Harry Guardino, James Whitmore and Susan Clark.  Directed by Don Siegel.

Film historian and Rondo award-winning author Justin Humphreys (George Pal: Man of Tomorrow) guests for a stellar 1950s drive-in double feature, Vincente Minnelli's Some Came Running and Don Siegel's The Lineup, which played at the North Ave. Drive-in April 17, 1959. Topics include Vincente Minnelli's Chicago roots, adapting a book to the scene, Dean Martin's best acting roles, Don Siegel's style, auteurs of the 1950s, and more Chicago history than you'll know what to do with.

We know what you're thinking: Hasn't NostalgiaCast covered a Clint Eastwood movie before? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, we've kinda lost track ourselves. But there's still plenty of icons and iconography to cover, and this episode takes aim at DIRTY HARRY, Don Siegel's crime thriller classic that catapulted Eastwood from Western star to action star status. Jonny and Darin discuss the cinematography, questionable morality, and all-around controversy that drove both left-leaning AND right-leaning audiences into an absolute tizzy.

Filmmaker Renny Harlin (NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 4, DIE HARD 2, CLIFFHANGER, DEEP BLUE SEA, THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT, DRIVEN, EXORCIST: THE BEGINNING) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss his long and incredible career journey. From growing up in Finland and sneaking into restricted films underage… to watching a scene being filmed for Don Siegel's TELEFON (1977) as a child and deciding in that moment that he was going to become a Hollywood action director… to how shooting just a part of his debut feature BORN AMERICAN (1986) lead to a US production company fully financing the rest of the production… to his early days being broke and struggling in Hollywood while living in a friend's garage… to how casting Kane Hodder in his first role as a creature character in 1987's PRISON lead to John Carl Buechler casting Kane as “Jason Voorhees” one year later… to making A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 4: THE DREAM MASTER and how he came up with and shot the film's amazing opening sequence… to the unfortunate timing of 1990's THE ADVENTURES OF FIRD FAIRLANE which was released right as the cultural backlash began against comedian/star Andrew Dice Clay and how the film has surprisingly gone on to become one of his most beloved… to working with Sylvester Stallone on 1993's CLIFFHANGER… to creating one of the most memorable moments in cinema while shooting 1999's DEEP BLUE SEA… to making his latest feature THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 1 (in theaters this weekend!) as part of a trilogy that was shot all at once… to the real reason he has yet to attend a DGA social event… Renny candidly opens up in this phenomenal conversation that is filled with cinema anecdotes, filmmaking advice and loads of inspiration.

Have you now, or have you ever been, a member of the Communist Party? This month, we're joined by director Jeremiah Kipp (Slapface, The Geechee Witch), to discuss the great red menace which must be extinguished by any means necessary! 1950s Americana is met with an existential threat in the form of shapeshifting aliens which mean to replace our way of life, our entire way of thinking, in the original INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1956), directed by Don Siegel. But is this threat really a metaphor for Communism, or is it meant to represent Senator Joseph McCarthy and the Red Scare? Perhaps the only thing we have to fear is fear itself, or at least that's somewhat the stance of our second film, THE BLOB (1988), directed by Chuck Russell, itself a remake of another 1950s Cold War metaphor. Of course, this is the 80s, and so Reagan is bound to come up a few times. From the early days of the Cold War to the final days, how has America's shifting views of the Soviet Union affected the media we create? Is the greater threat an invading force, or is the call coming from inside the house? Let's dig into the glorious sci-fi horror, mutts! 00:03:52 - Invasion of the Body Snatchers 00:38:01 - The Blob 00:56:04 - Comparisons 01:08:27 - Bone Reviews Follow us at:  instagram.com/cadaverdogspod twitter.com/cadaverdogspod tiktok.com/@cadaverdogspod .

MONSTER SQUAD - L'émission qui dissèque les icônes de l'horreurDans ce premier épisode de 2024, Marie Casabonne et ses deux invités, Véro Davidson (scénariste, sélectionneuse de courts-métrage pour le PIFFF et présentatrice du PIFFFcast en son temps) et Rafik Djoumi (Capture Mag, Total Trax, Arrêt sur images…) s'attaquent non pas à une franchise mais à un monstre : le body snatcher. Un monstre extra-terrestre à visage humain, trop humain qui traverse la littérature et le cinéma, du roman L'Invasion des profanateurs de Jack Finney (1955) jusqu'à ses différentes itérations au cinéma (par Don Siegel en 1956, Philip Kaufman en 1978, Abel Ferrara en 1993 et Oliver Hirschbiegel en 2007). Une adaptation officielle tous les 20 ans (ou presque) qui trouve un nouvel écho et reflète les craintes de chaque époque tout en tentant de définir par la négative et l'absence, la nature humaine.Présentation : Marie CasabonneRédacteur en chef : Stéphane MoïssakisChroniqueur : Véro Davidson et Rafik DjoumiRéalisation : Alain MercierProduction : Stéphane Moïssakis et Alain MercierMontage et mixage : Anthony NavarroMusiques : Magic And Ecstasy et Rite Of Magic par Ennio MorriconeRetrouvez toutes nos émissions sur http://www.capturemag.frNotre prochain mook consacré au regretté William Friedkin sera en précommande à partir du 5 février :https://www.kisskissbankbank.com/fr/projects/capturemag-01-williamfriedkinPour soutenir MONSTER SQUAD, il y a trois adresses :PATREON : https://www.patreon.com/capturemagKISS KISS BANK BANK : https://www.kisskissbankbank.com/fr/projects/capturemagTIPEEE : https://www.tipeee.com/capture-magVous pouvez acheter le livre "Slashers, Attention, ça va couper..." co-écrit par Marie Casabonne en suivant ce lien : https://bit.ly/3toedfrPour acheter notre livre CAPTURE MAG 2012-2022 : NOTRE DÉCENNIE DE CINÉMA, rendez-vous chez votre libraire ou site marchand.Akileos : https://bit.ly/CapMookLibrairies indépendantes : https://bit.ly/AchTMookDisponible surAcast : https://bit.ly/3eJ0kjlSPOTIFY : https://spoti.fi/3caW88GDEEZER : https://bit.ly/2wtDauUAPPLE podcasts : https://apple.co/2UW3AyOGOOGLE Podcasts : https://bit.ly/39W69oRYOUTUBE : https://bit.ly/3EvKPqv#bodysnatchers #donaldsutherland #invasion Podcasts exclusifs Hébergé par Acast.
