Podcast appearances and mentions of Don Verdean

This week is an Academy award winning film, Birdman, and no it's not about the Hanna Barbera/Adult Swim character. Michael Keaton plays an actor trying to regain respect and relevance by staging a Broadway play. But he's haunted by the superhero role that brought him to the heights of fame over twenty years ago, and overwhelmed by the stress of rehearsals, previews, combative co-stars, a failing relationship, and a daughter struggling with life fresh out of rehab. Can he pull it off, or will a vengeful critic destroy the play on opening night? Wyndham Jennings soars into the production of the film, pointing out the weird parallels between the cast and their characters, and what the camerawork adds to the film's story. Along the way he'll also discuss Magical Realism and One Shot films. Other films mentioned in the episode: Johnny Dangerously, Tank Girl, Don Verdean, The Death of Stalin, Mindhorn, Dinner for Schmucks --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/celluloidfeverdreams/support

This week we sit down with movie watching buddies Tony Miller and Byron Miller (no relation) to talk about Don Verdean. Unlike the woefully awful God’s Not Dead films, this movie is a satire of Christian Archaeology starring Sam Rockwell. While Rotten Tomatoes doesn’t think too highly of the movie, we enjoyed it. Your mileage […]

This review of Don Verdean marks the first intentional comedy reviewed on Divine Cinema.  Jeff, Adam and Dylan lament the potential of this movie to be a classic. Sadly, the cast is wasted on a lackluster script that leaves a lot to be desired.  Listen to the episode to find out if there were any redeeming qualities of this film and how many pieces of silver Don Verdean earns.   Initial Thoughts (01:00) Review of Don Verdean (4:16) Ratings and Redeemed Perspectives (47:21) PLOT SUMMARY Don Verdean (played by Sam Rockwell) is a biblical archeologists who believes his work is important to bringing people to the Christian faith.  To fulfill his calling he partners with a local church and they begin funding his expeditions. Don’s first expedition for the church is to find the skull of Goliath.  After days without success, Don fakes the discovery by robbing the grave of a beloved Israeli wrestler with gigantism. Don is successful in convincing everyone that his find is legitimate.  However, it does come at a price. To keep up his new found reputation and avoid being exposed by his partner Boaz (played by Jemaine Clement), Don fakes more discoveries.  It all comes to a head when he attempts to manufacture the discovery of the Holy Grail.

Bref, que du lourd et dans tous les sens du terme !

In the wake of the release of Masterminds, Chad Durham and Jake Hampton personally rank the five Jared Hess-directed movies Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre, Gentlemen Broncos, Don Verdean, and Masterminds. They try to analyze what makes a Jared Hess movie and push the theory that there is a lot more going on in Hess' movies than many people assume. The underlying sadness that pervades some of the movies particularly resonates for Jake, while Chad finds that he was more emotional moved by a few of the movies than he ever thought he would be. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/chad-durham8/support

Sam Rockwell for a discussion and Q&A about Don Verdean. The comedy centers on Don Verdean (Rockwell), a self-proclaimed Biblical archaeologist who's been hired by an ambitious small-town pastor to find sacred relics in the Holy Land. When he comes up short, his attempt to cover up his failure fuels a comic conspiracy.
