Czech public broadcasters hold warning strike over funding reform, “Incredible excitement”: Hollywood icon Dustin Hoffman set for 60th Karlovy Vary Film Festival, Four-year ban leaves Vondroušová's tennis future in doubt

Rob Loverde is back on Brew Ha Ha with Herlinda Heras and Daedalus Howell for another round of Beatles and Beer. The first Beatles and Beer show was this episode last April. Rob is an audio engineer and a Beatles expert. Today is Paul McCartney’s 84th birthday. Herlinda made her original list of Beatles tunes and beers together with Rob, six years ago and he joins Herlinda today for the second Beatles and Beer show. Rob is a mastering engineer for Mobile Fidelity, aka MoFi. That is the last phase of audio manipulation or editing. It is also the first step in production by producing a master recording for duplication into different media. Today Rob and Herlinda will pair beers with Beatles and Wings songs. Herlinda and Rob have seen him perform in concert. When I’m 64 was the first song recorded for Sgt. Pepper. Meanwhile, the Scots are drinking Boston dry during the World Cup.   .--. .- ..- .-...Visit Russian River Brewing Co. in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Check out their website and socials for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more..--. .- ..- .-... Since 1966 Paul has owned a farm in Scotland, where he lived with his wife Linda. The Wings song Mull of Kintyre was for a while the highest selling single in UK history, (since then only three songs have sold more). The song is unknown to American audiences, where it was released to modest sales and was soon forgotten. That’s understandable, since the song has a strong Scottish character that appealed to UK audiences. US audiences did not pick up on any of that local joy. They toast to Paul with a Scotch Ale. Paul practices yoga and according to Herlinda, “…still stands on his head every day.” In April of 1973 Pablo Picasso passed away. Paul and Linda were visiting Dustin Hoffman then, talking about their craft. They discussed Picasso and his last words, “Drink to me, drink to my health. You know I can’t drink anymore.” Paul started strumming the guitar and started writing the song Picasso’s Last Words at Dustin’s suggestion. Herlinda brought a Paulaner Pils, a Bavarian style pilsner beer. The Beatles connection to Germany dates back to when they went to Hamburg, to play steady gigs. They met Klaus Voorman who was an art director and artist. He drew the cover of Revolver. Also, he later became the bass player of the Plastic Ono Band. The Liverpool Beatles Museum that Pete Best and his brother Roag own, has an exhibition of Stu Sutcliffe’s art, through this September. He heard a song from Wings called Old Siam Sir, from the last Wings album. So, Herlinda opens a Chang lager from Thailand. Unfortunately it has been in storage too long. Lagers do expire, especially in green glass. Also, to celebrate Apple Records, Herlinda has brought a cider called WildCide. The Beatles’ last public concert was in San Francisco in 1966. In honor of that location she has an Anchor Steam Beer. Herlinda believes it is possible that the Beatles drank that beer while they were in San Francisco. 

James Cameron-Wilson was intrigued but not overly excited by #1 Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg's first sci-fi film since Ready Player One. Emily Blunt plays a TV meteorologist dreaming of better things who shows signs of ESP and can suddenly speak foreign languages. A spiritual companion to Close Encounters, it gets ever weirder, taking in AI, religion, quantum physics and more, but is essentially a chase movie. At #12 is Tuner, which is the best and most entertaining that generic cinema can get. Leo Woodall stars as a piano tuner with incredible sensitivity to sound who finds he has another talent. Dustin Hoffman steals every scene he's in. You can see where it's all going, but it's a most engaging film. On Amazon Prime is the horror film Over Your Dead Body about a dysfunctional couple harbouring murderous intentions. It is an 18, deservedly so, but is also very funny.

Editor – Greg O'Bryant Tuner editor Greg O'Bryant returns to the podcast to discuss cutting a film that is part crime thriller, part romance, part character study, part music movie and part very compelling argument for keeping your ears covered in New York City. Directed by Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Daniel Roher, Tuner stars Leo Woodall as Niki, a gifted piano tuner whose hypersensitive hearing makes every day sound almost unbearable. That same extraordinary hearing also gives Niki an unexpected talent for cracking safes, pulling him from a quiet life of tuning pianos into an increasingly dangerous criminal world. The film also stars Dustin Hoffman as Harry, Niki's mentor, Havana Rose Liu as Ruthie, a young composer, along with Lior Raz, Jean Reno and Tovah Feldshuh. One of the biggest challenges on Tuner was the sheer amount of footage. Roher shot a large volume of material over a short production schedule, giving Greg and his assistant a mountain of performances, musical material, safe-cracking details and improvisation to shape into the final film. Greg discusses how he approached that process by focusing on subjectivity — using the edit to put the audience inside Niki's experience rather than simply moving through the plot. Sound was another major topic of conversation. Because Niki experiences the world through hyper-sensitive hearing, the editorial and sound teams had to build a language for when the audience enters his point of view.  Which meant figuring out how much of that experience to hear, and how to make the effect clear without making it punishing. O'Bryant also talks about working with sound designer Johnnie Burn, composer Will Bates and executive music producer Marius de Vries to balance the film's sound design, live music and score. GREG O'BRYANT Greg O'Bryant is an editor whose credits include the feature film The Report, as well as the television series Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Extrapolations and Brand New Cherry Flavor. A frequent collaborator with filmmakers including Scott Z. Burns and Nick Antosca, Greg's work often explores stories with complex tone, subjective experience and ambitious sound and visual design.

La espera ha terminado. En este nuevo capítulo de Estamos de Cine abrimos los sentidos para analizar uno de los acontecimientos cinematográficos más esperados de la temporada: el regreso del icónico Steven Spielberg al género que ha marcado su carrera. Ya está agitando las salas de todo el mundo 'El día de la revelación'. A sus casi 80 años, el director con mayor apego e interés por el fenómeno alienígena promete volver a sacudir nuestras certezas sobre la vida exterior en una obra que invita a no apartar la mirada del cielo. ¿Llevan ya mucho tiempo entre nosotros? Analizamos lo nuevo del Rey Midas de Hollywood sin perder de vista uno de los pocos estrenos que se atreven a ser alternativa al Día de la Revelación. Una coproducción entre Canadá y Estados Unidos os devuelve a la gran pantalla al oscarizado Dustin Hoffman. En esta ocasión, interpreta al mentor de Leo Woodall (The White Lotus) en una comedia con toques thriller sobre un afinador de pianos con un don tan extraordinario para la música como para abrir cajas fuertes. Raquel Hernández y Alberto Luchini ponderan y califican también novedades como la china The Furious, la francesa Duse, la japonesa El guardián del árbol de alcanfor y la noruega y preferida de Luchini Solomamma. Y para acabar, duelo de titanes en 'El diván de la música': Ángel Luque afina las notas del misterio para revivir el espíritu de 'El cabo del miedo'. Nos sirve de excusa el papelón de Javier Bardem en la miniserie de Apple 'Cape Fear' —recogiendo el testigo de Robert Mitchum y Robert De Niro— y nos permite valorar y contrastar las dos grandes adaptaciones musicales de la novela de John MacDonald: la obra de Bernard Herrmann (1962) contra la de Elmer Bernstein (1991). Dos joyas de la sugestión y la venganza hechas partitura para dos conceptos muy diferentes de El Cabo del Miedo.

Surprise guest Jon Solomon is here to talk about Elaine May's unfairly-maligned buddy comedy about two bumbling songwriters who end up at the center of a revolution in the fictional country of Ishtar. A bomb when it was released, it's now a well-liked cult film whose reputation has grown, and one of the funniest movies we've covered for the show. Starring Warren Beatty, Dustin Hoffman, Isabella Adjani, and Charles Grodin. Written and directed by Elaine May. Songs by Paul Willams.

Se revelan también los gustos personales del Papa, como su afición por la pizza, el cine clásico y el tenis. En el ámbito deportivo, arranca el Mundial de Fútbol con la inauguración en México y la preparación de la selección española. La actualidad política aborda el malestar en el gobierno por las reuniones de Leire 10 y la investigación de las cuentas de Alberto González Amador.

TUNER quickly became one of our favorite films of the year. Leo Woodall, Havana Rose Liu and Dustin Hoffman's performances are great, Daniel Roher's direction is top notch and the story is compelling. Unfortunately, it's directly competing with THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU, DISCLOSURE DAY, PRESSURE, MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, BACKROOMS, POWER BALLAD and THE BREADWINNER, all within 14 days of it's wide release date. And that's not even mentioning the fact that MICHAEL and THE SHEEP DETECTIVES are still performing well. But we implore you... do not sleep on TUNER. Find it in your local theater and go see it. Let's talk about it...

Lucy Fenwick Elliott talks to director Daniel Roher and actor Leo Woodall about their new film, Tuner. Now showing at Picturehouse Cinemas.  In Tuner, Academy Award-winning director Daniel Roher's first narrative feature, Leo Woodall stars as a gifted young piano tuner whose heightened sense of hearing draws the attention of criminals, who see his talents as useful for opening safes as for tuning Steinways.   With his once-promising musical career over, he works across New York with his mentor Harry Horowitz (Academy Award-winner Dustin Hoffman), encountering a range of characters, including composition student Ruthie (Havana Rose Liu), with whom he forges an unexpected connection. Niki's safecracking work threatens his budding romance with Ruthie and pulls him into increasingly dangerous territory.   Lending romance, drama, and the taut suspense of a heist thriller, TUNER also features performances from Tony Award-winner Tovah Feldshuh, Jean Reno, and Lior Raz.

From Oscar Gold to Fiction Filmmaking: Daniel Roher on Tuner How do you follow up winning an Academy Award? If you are Daniel Roher (Navalny), you resist the pressure to stay in your lane, take a leaf out of Bob Dylan's book, and make a massive leap into fiction! This week on The Filmmakers Podcast, Dom Lenoir sits down with Daniel to discuss his debut narrative feature, Tuner. Starring Leo Woodall, Dustin Hoffman, Havana Rose Liu, Lior Raz, and Jean Reno, the film is a brilliant blend of character drama and heist thriller. Daniel pulls no punches in this candid conversation about the realities of the industry. He shares how the Oscar opened doors, but why even at his level, the rejection never stops. He also breaks down the craft behind the film, explaining why he wrote the sound design into the script from day one, what it was like collaborating with master sound designer Johnny Burn, and his baptism of fire directing actors for the very first time.

The calendar my say other wise but Hollywood says it's summer so here come the blockbesters. Well, a new Star Wars movie, sort of. It's "Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu." Bill Bregoli had been haunting actual movie theaters so he checked it out and his verdict is...Neil Rosen has his eyes glued on streaming channels and he tells us about "Marty: Life is Short" which is about, you guessed it, Martin Short. Bill McCuddy watched a movie, albeit on Amazon Prime called "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War" which he fills us in on. And speaking of streaming, we also have "Beef," "Love Story," "Beef," "Just in Time" and a real doozy called "Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed." If you're still venturing out to movie theaters there's one Bill B really liked called "Tuner" with Dustin Hoffman. So listen in!

Send Kevin a Text MessageMark Canton, producer of 300, Immortals, Men in Black, Air Force One, and My Best Friend's Wedding, former President of Worldwide Production at Warner Bros., and former Chairman of Columbia Pictures and Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Companies, joins host Kevin Goetz for a conversation about a career defined by passion and instinct. From delivering mail on the Warner Bros. lot as a college student to greenlighting some of Hollywood's most beloved films, Canton reflects on the legends he learned from, the risks he took, and why he still smells the circus every time he walks onto a sound stage.Queens, New York, and Family (02:34): Canton traces his love of film to a father who survived being shot down over France in WWII, won an Oscar for a short film on Van Gogh, and went on to do publicity for Hitchcock and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and to a mother who was a published poet. The movies, he says, were always destiny.Learning from the Greats on Papillon (15:22): Working for director Franklin Schaffner in Jamaica and living between the houses of Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman, Canton learned what it meant to commit to a film.From the Warner Bros.

Thirty-five years ago, Steven Spielberg released his updated take on the classic children's story Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie. Arriving in theaters in 1991 with enormous expectations, the film was toplined by four actors at the height of their fame: Robin Williams stars as an aged-up Peter, fresh off Dead Poets Society and Awakenings - and just a year away from Aladdin and Mrs. Doubtfire; Dustin Hoffman, riding high after his Oscar win for Rain Man, as the titular Captain Hook; Julia Roberts, newly-minted as America's sweetheart after Pretty Woman, donning the wings as Tinkerbell; and Bob Hoskins as Mister Smee, following up his breakout blockbuster Who Framed Roger Rabbit. With a prime Christmas release date and a sweeping John Williams score, the film looked destined to become an instant Spielberg swashbuckling classic. Instead, a famously troubled production - marked by massive (and expensive) sets, shooting that ran 40 days over schedule, and a strained relationship between director Spielberg and ingénue Roberts - resulted in a film that critics were quick to call indulgent and uneven. Spielberg himself later admitted frustration with the project, and despite solid box‑office returns, the film was seen as a disappointment during a peak period of Spielberg's career. And yet the pixie dust of nostalgia has quietly rewritten the narrative: the film has become something of a cult favorite, embraced by fans who grew up with VHS rewatches. Now we're dropping anchor in Pirates Bay to see if Hook conjures up any happy thoughts, or if it is better off getting lost, boy!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

This is the fourth in a series of seven episodes regarding the terrorist leader of Al Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden.  Al Qaeda had officially declared war, but left the next move up to the United States.  It was here that Bill Clinton (and then George W. Bush) would come up short.  Despite the Bin Laden Task force screaming for action, the Monica Lewinsky affair and Hollywood's decision to release 'Wag the Dog' starring Dustin Hoffman and Robert DeNiro, took precedent.    Contact the show at resourcesbylowery@gmail.com or on Bluesky @EmpiresPod If you would like to financially support the show, please use the following paypal link.

It's hard to think anyone could argue against the cast of this DENNIS THE MENACE adaptation. It's not just Matthau, Thompson, and Christopher Lloyd doing solid work, but also Mason Gamble as Dennis, holding his own against them. And it's directed by Nick Castle, the original Michael Myers? We can all agree it's an artifact of interest at least. But is it a good movie too, or does it only work if you let nostalgia for the 90s (and perhaps your own childhood) overwhelm you?TIMELINE00:01:26 Only been around for five years00:02:27 Real Talk00:49:59 The Future & Patreon Stuff- Interested in more Contrarians goodness?

In Part 2 of our episode we look at Barry Levinson's Liberty Heights, from 1999. This was the fourth time that Levinson went to the well of life in Baltimore, and the second we've looked at (we still need to get to Tin Men and Avalon). The film is not a response to any of his Baltimore films, but was a response to his portrayal of Dustin Hoffman's character in the film Sphere, which got him thinking about his youth and led to the story seen here. COMING ATTRACTIONS: In our next episode we'll be looking at some men who are searching for God in their own way. We start with A Serious Man (2009), directed by the Coen Brothers, and move on to The Tree of Life (2011), directed by Michael McCracken. Join us, won't you?

EPISODE 137 -  “THE BIG SCREEN ‘I DO': WEDDINGS IN CLASSIC CINEMA” - 4/27/2026  Weddings in classic films aren't just about romance—they're about timing, tension, and sometimes total chaos. Join us as we step into a world of whirlwind courtships, last-minute doubts, and grand gestures that don't always go according to plan. From glamorous, music-filled celebrations to sharp, fast-talking battles of love versus ambition, these stories remind us that the walk down the aisle is rarely simple—and often unforgettable. Along the way, we'll meet couples who fall in love against the odds, relationships that thrive on wit and conflict, and ceremonies that might just spiral into something completely unexpected. Because in classic cinema, a wedding isn't just an ending—it can be a twist, a turning point, or even a full-on rebellion. So grab your bouquet—real or imaginary—and join us as we explore some of the most iconic, surprising, and delightfully complicated trips to the altar ever put on film.

Welcome back! This week, we look at another timely, underrated film, Wag the Dog. It's directed by Barry Levinson (Rain Man) and co-written by David Mamet (Glengarry Glen Ross). The cast is also prime, with Robert DeNiro and Dustin Hoffman leading a large ensemble. The film is a late 90s political satire, in which the US president stages a fake war to avoid a massive sexual scandal. Sound familiar? Maybe a little too familiar?

Juzo and Isaac dig into director Alan J. Pakula's All the President's Men (1976), unpacking a classic investigative reporting romp through 1970s DC. Starring Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman as Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, the film chronicles the unraveling of the Watergate scandal, focusing on process over spectacle. We also discuss All the King's Men (2006), an infamous film that Isaac watched when previously assigned this film.    Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast hosted by Isaac Ransom, Juzo Greenwood, and Cameron Tuttle. The show is executive-produced by Darrin O'Neill and recorded and produced in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA. You can support the show at patreon.com/ecfsproductions.

“Follow the money.” Join Ian, Liam & Kev for our 327th episode as we type through the night, chase sources, and piece together one of the greatest journalistic thrillers ever made with All the President's Men (1976). Megs? She's not with us this week — she insisted on meeting a source in an underground parking garage and hasn't come back up yet. We assume she's waiting for a shadowy figure to confirm something. This week we discuss: Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman as Woodward & Bernstein — contrasting energies, relentless curiosity, and the slow grind of uncovering truth. The procedural storytelling — phone calls, notes, dead ends. Why the film makes paperwork feel like high drama. The pace — deliberately methodical. Does the lack of traditional “action” heighten tension or test patience? Megs explores the role of journalism — integrity, persistence, and the cost of getting it right. Ian breaks down the film's structure — accumulation of detail, repetition, and how small discoveries build into something enormous. Liam questions accessibility — does the film expect too much knowledge from its audience, or does it teach you as it goes? The use of sound and silence — typewriters, newsroom chatter, and the weight of quiet spaces. Deep Throat — myth, mystery, and whether the film benefits from keeping him just out of reach. The ending — abrupt, unresolved, and historically loaded. Does it land emotionally without showing the full outcome? We debate “show vs tell” — is the film a masterclass in restraint, or does it occasionally feel too distant? The legacy — how this film shaped political cinema and public trust in journalism. And finally, whether All the President's Men is the Best Film Ever — or simply one of the most important investigative films ever made.
