In this episode, Anna and Derek chat about just how long it takes to walk down 50 flights of stairs, if Donald Pleasance was having any fun, and much more during their discussion of the John Carpenter classic Escape from New York (1981).Connect with '80s Movie Montage on Facebook, Bluesky or Instagram! It's the same handle for all three... @80smontagepod.Anna Keizer and Derek Dehanke are the co-hosts of ‘80s Movie Montage. The idea for the podcast came when they realized just how much they talk – a lot – when watching films from their favorite cinematic era. Their wedding theme was “a light nod to the ‘80s,” so there's that, too. Both hail from the Midwest but have called Los Angeles home for several years now. Anna is a writer who received her B.A. in Film/Video from Columbia College Chicago and M.A. in Film Studies from Chapman University. Her dark comedy short She Had It Coming was an Official Selection of 25 film festivals with several awards won for it among them. Derek is an attorney who also likes movies. It is a point of pride that most of their podcast episodes are longer than the movies they cover.We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text message.

In the early '70s, films like The Omega Man, Soylent Green, and THX-1138 painted a bleak future of chaos and government control. By 1981, the tone had shifted, with films like Raiders of the Lost Ark and Clash of the Titans offering escapism and classic good vs. evil battles. But then came this 80s flick, set in a dystopian 1997 where Manhattan is a prison island. The hero, a morally gray anti-hero on a mission to rescue the President, must navigate a world full of shady characters and alliances. Join Tim Williams and guest co-host, Nicholas Pepin from the "Pop Culture Roulette" Podcast, to dive into Escape from New York on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast. Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode: The idea of putting a wig on at one point in the film was improvised by Donald Pleasance. The shot of Maggie's corpse under the Duke's car was added after principal photography was done as  John Carpenter felt the audience wouldn't get that the impact had killed her. Carpenter and Adrienne Barbeau filmed the shot in their garage with her under their own car.

It's almost Halloween, and it's been a while since we discussed a Michael Myers movie, so why not tackle 1981's divisive sequel HALLOWEEN II? This fever dream (literally) of a slasher has some fun kills, Donald Pleasance doing the most, and the introduction of the head-scratching explanation that Laurie is actually Michael's baby sister from the beginning of the first movie. We never really get to move past that in the rest of the Halloween franchise, so we might as well get into on this week's episode. Also, look at how red the blood is in this one!

In this week's episode, we're discussing the 1979 rendition of "Dracula" that features the 1970s' most unlikely fuckboy, Frank Langella. Wowwww. Special topics for your consideration include: getting all the spackle off your face and/or neck, interchangeable ladies' names that are decidedly not interchangeable based on a classic of gothic literature, seeing to your comfort, Donald Pleasance doing what he does best (being Donald Pleasance), and the hornier heights of Francis Ford Coppola.  Please feel free to go listen to us discuss Allen's favorite Dracula in "Bram Stoker's Dracula" (Episode 110) or my favorite Dracula (lol jk) in Episode 317- "Dracula 2000."

In Part 2 of our episode, we review The Accidental Tourist (1986), directed by Lawrence Kasdan and starring William Hurt and Geena Davis. Hurt plays a man who's learning to navigate his life after a broken heart, a broken marriage and a broken leg. It's a truly delightful, quiet film that will warm your heart...but there's still an unfortunate side effect to deal with. COMING ATTRACTIONS: Next time around we view a pair of films that are wildly different in both tone and content. We begin with the original Halloween from 1978, directed by John Carpenter and starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasance.  From there we go to 1989 for Rob Reiner's When Harry Met Sally... starring Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal.

Welcome to Cyberpunk Cinema – the Definitive Dive into the Dark Future of Science Fiction. I am your host, Anthony La Pira, and I will be taking you on a cinematic journey through the sprawling cityscapes, the crippling datastorms, and the cybernetic implants that encompass all things Cyberpunk.In this week's episode, I will be breaking-down the 1971 dystopian protopunk film, THX 1138  – co-written by George Lucas and Walter Murch and directed by George Lucas, starring Robert Duvall, Donald Pleasance, Don Pedro Colley, and Maggie McOmie.In the 25th century, a time when people have designations instead of names, a man, THX 1138, and a woman, LUH 3417, rebel against their rigidly controlled society.This was the debut film of George Lucas before he created Star Wars. It is a protopunk masterpiece that was the primer for the rest of Lucas' career as a filmmaker. It delves into all of the hallmarks of cyberpunk before it's official designation – dystopian society, mind control, drug abuse, cyborgs, cassette futurism. It has a little bit of everything and it paved the way for future of science fiction. It is criminally underrated and I'll be breaking it down next!So, do me a favor – it's time to access your cranial jacks, boot up your Ono-Sendai Cyberspace 7, and slap on your damn mirror-shades.

This week on Fabulous Film & Friends we're going to analyze a trio of “cult classics” from the actor/director pairing of Kurt Russell and John Carpenter. Starting with 1981's Escape From New York starring Mr. Russell, Donald Pleasance, Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Harry Dean Stanton, Adrienne Barbeau, Isaac Hayes and Season Hubley, on to 1982's The Thing starring Russell, Donald Moffat, Keith David, Richard Dysart, David Clennon, T.K, Carter, Richard Masur, Charles Hallahan and Wilford Brimley, And finally 1986's Big Trouble in Little China starring Russell, Dennis Dun, Kim Cattrall, James Hong, Donald Li, Kate Burton, Suzee Pai and Victor Wong, My two guests are the only pair who would be up for such a comprehensive cinematic showdown : Lit major and lil' Sis Roseanne Caputi and Actor Funnyman Photobug, Alex Robertson. Before we run the gauntlet, the synopses:  In Escape From New Yorkex soldier and current convict Snake Plisskin is forced under the threat of death by government agent Hauk to rescue the President of the United States after a group of insurgents cause Air Force One to crash in New York city which by 1997 has become a walled off maximum security prison.  The Thing  catalogues the paranoia, fear and sheer horror  that ensues when a shape-shifting alien invades an American Antarctic Research Facility.   Big Trouble in Little China follows the mystic, martial-arts laden misadventures of blowhard truck driver Jack Burton, who, on a routine stop in San Francisco's Chinatown wins a bet over   his buddy Wang Chi. In order to collect his money, Jack follows Wang to the airport to meet Wang's beautiful green-eyed betrothed bride Miao Yin who is summarily kidnapped by the evil ancient supernatural gang Lord David Lo Pan. Lo Pan, for his part, inhabits a broken down and decrepit old body and can only move as a spirit in his young and powerful form. In order to attain full strength and fleshly form, Lo Pan  needs Wang's  green-eyed bride to break his century old curse. With the help of lawyer Gracie Law and a troupe of warriors led by magical Egg Shen, Jack and Wang charge into David Lo Pan's compound to stage a daring rescue. Which film rates the highest?Find out!

The guys continue their Halloween tradition with another installment of the Halloween Series. They discuss Paul Rudd's feature film debut and why Donald Pleasance was largely cut out of his final film. Joe reveals why Danielle Harris didn't return to the series and the guys moan over the strange, supernatural story that took over the Michael Myers lore in this movie and the last. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DISCORD - https://discord.gg/a6UEWh9zft PODCAST - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/miscast-commentary/id1145697204 WEBSITE - http://www.miscastcommentary.com/ TWITTER - https://twitter.com/miscastpodcast TIK TOK - https://www.tiktok.com/@miscastcommentary FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/miscastcommentary TEEPUBLIC - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/miscast-commentary?ref_id=7636 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow Joe! https://solo.to/miscastjoe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow Todd!

What's up, dudes? Happy Halloween! Yes, it's October 31, All Hallows Eve, and that means we're talking about the Urtext of horror slashers, “Halloween” and its network television debut. There are frights and jumps, and many deaths from unsuspecting teenage babysitters. It's such a monumental movie that it spawned a multiversal franchise spanning 45 years. Halloween is an iconic slasher film written by John Carpenter and Debra Hill, and released on Oct 25, 1978. Starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasance, it introduced us to the Shape, Michael Audrey Myers, who was committed to a sanitarium for murdering his teenage sister on Halloween night when he was a child. Fifteen years later, he escaped and returned to his hometown, where he stalked teenager Laurie Strode and her friends. Michael's psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis pursued him with the intention of ending the evil for good.In 1980, NBC purchased the television rights to Halloween for about $3 million. "Halloween" aired on television for the first time in October 25, 1981. NBC's Standards and Practices censored certain scenes, much to the chagrin of Carpenter and Hill. This unfortunately resulted in the movie being too short to fill the two-hour time slot, and so Carpenter filmed about twelve minutes of additional material while he was making "Halloween II." The newly filmed scenes include Dr. Loomis at a hospital board review of Michael Myers. Dr. Loomis also talks to a then-6-year-old catatonic Michael at Smith's Grove. Loomis also examines Michael's abandoned cell after his escape from the Smith's Grove facility, seeing the word "Sister" scratched into the door. Finally, Carpenter added a scene in which Lynda comes over to Laurie's house to borrow a silk blouse before Laurie leaves to babysit, just as Annie telephones asking to borrow the same blouse. Funnily enough, Laurie's hair is hidden by a towel, since Curtis had a much shorter hairstyle than she had worn in 1978.Halloween became the model for countless slasher films, and, while many have tried, none have quite captured its raw, thrilling perfection. Indeed, Michael Myers is one of cinema's greatest villains! So grab your ghost costume, pack your revolver, and hunt down this episode on the "Halloween" NBC premiere!Check us out on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Totally Rad Christmas Mall & Arcade, Teepublic.com, or TotallyRadChristmas.com! Later, dudes!

Join them as they sink their teeth into 1979's Dracula, starring Frank Langella, Laurence Olivier and Donald Pleasance! They revisit the original play, which served as the basis for this film, much like Tod Browning's original film, and discuss how the two films compare, plus Frank Langella's unique approach to the title role, Donald Pleasance's scene-stealing techniques, the incredible practical effects, the wasted Renfield, the influences this film may have had on a certain other Dracula film, and so much more!

Who doesn't recognize the name Michael Myers, or the haunting, synth-heavy theme song that always announces his arrival… and causes an immediate increase in the audience's heart rate?  45 years after its release, “Halloween” (1978) is considered one of the most important and influential horror movies of all time. It launched one of the longest-running horror movie franchises, prompted a number of copycat slasher films,  inspired a generation of filmmakers, and introduced the world to the ultimate Final Girl, Laurie Strode.  Just in time for our own Halloween celebrations, we revisit the beloved classic that started it all, “Halloween” (1978). Was the film really originally titled “The Babysitter Murders”? How did “the shape” morph into the terrifying character Michael Myers, and what's the story behind his iconic mask? How were Donald Pleasance and Jamie Lee Curtis cast? What challenges did the crew face when filming a Halloween movie in California in May? And what did director John Carpenter do toward the end of the editing process that some believe “saved” the movie? We discuss all this and more, this week on Scandal Water. So yes, Tommy, there is a boogeyman, and we take a trip to Haddonfield to visit him in this fun “Halloween” episode!

This week my brother and I discuss the Jamie Lloyd saga of the Halloween franchise. Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, and Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers which features Paul Rudd in his first lead role and the last entry to have Donald Pleasance as Dr. Loomis. We pair these with the Nelson Bros Sherry Cask and 21st amendment brewery's Pumpkin Haze IPA.

HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST ends week 2 on a John Carpenter movie that was unappreciated in its time but has since aged like fine wine. It's the second in what Carpenter has declared his “apocalypse trilogy”. Yep. Hell and Satan is a little more than what we traditionally know in John Carpenters 1987 horror “Prince of Darkness” starring Donald Pleasance as “Father Loomis”, the twin brother of “Professor Loomis”, and also starring Victor Wong as the scientist who, unwittingly, drags Phd students to their demise. Alice Cooper is in it and the Anti-God loves piss-play. Will Walter ever come out of the closet? Check out this cult classic and then hear us talk about it.

This seminal World War II classic is about to turn 60 years old and for many Americans, it's a perennial rewatch usually around this time of year.   It was directed by John Sturges and features a legendary cast including Steve McQueen, James Garner, Richard Attenborough, Charles Bronson, Donald Pleasance, and James Coburn.  Based upon true events, it tells the story of a large band of military officer POW's from the Allied Forces who all been moved to a new German-run prisoner camp.  What all of these POW's have in common is they have each attempted multiple times to escape from other Nazi POW camps - apparently THIS camp will be the place where they can no longer escape as the Axis forces can now keep a close eye on ALL of them in one place.  So guess what this band of POW's FIRST course of action is?  Well you know the title of the movie right? :)  Host: Geoff Gershon  Editors: Geoff and Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershonhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
