DUSTIN HOFFMAN & BARBARA STREISAND JOIN THE CAST!!! Meet the Fockers Full Movie Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ With Ben Stiller & the Severance Team cleaning up at the Emmy's, Aaron & John are back for some more of his comedic work giving their Meet the Fockers Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, Breakdown, & Review! Aaron Alexander & John Humphrey dive into the hilarious 2004 comedy sequel Meet the Fockers, directed by Jay Roach, following up the smash hit Meet the Parents. This time, Greg Focker (Ben Stiller — Zoolander, Night at the Museum) and his fiancée Pam Byrnes (Teri Polo — The West Wing) bring her strict ex-CIA father Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro — Taxi Driver, Goodfellas) and mother Dina (Blythe Danner — Will & Grace) to meet Greg's eccentric parents, Bernie (Dustin Hoffman — Rain Man, The Graduate) and Roz Focker (Barbra Streisand — Funny Girl, A Star Is Born). The clash between the uptight Byrnes family and the free-spirited Fockers leads to unforgettable comedic chaos, from Jack's spy-like parenting tactics to Bernie's outrageous enthusiasm and Roz's oversharing as a sex therapist. The film also features Owen Wilson reprising his role as Kevin Rawley, Pam's ex-boyfriend, creating even more awkward hilarity. Meet the Fockers is packed with iconic comedy moments — from Jack's “truth serum” debacle and baby Jack's first words to the volleyball accident and the unforgettable family dinner chaos. The movie explores love, family, and generational clashes with nonstop laughs, cementing itself as one of the funniest comedy sequels of the 2000s.

Woofy, set, go! This week, Jane and Brandon tackle the gritty legal drama that deigns to ask all too prescient questions like, who can claim full custody of a clown-cum-basketball playing dog? Think Kramer Vs Kramer, but Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman are locked in a broom closet somewhere and there's a dog playing both their parts and the script is a lot worse. This one is gonna make you laugh, cry, and ask yourself, “would I be brave enough to let my dog shoot hoops with the local ramshackle junior high school basketball team?” Listeners, we present to you our coverage of 1997's Air Bud! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Click here to try it out!This week we celebrate the late, great Robert Redford the Bad Dads way: with a chaotic Top 5 Roberts and a deep dive into All the President's Men — the newsroom thriller where Redford and Dustin Hoffman painstakingly peel back Watergate until the whole presidency caves in. It's cigarettes, typewriters, and journalism that actually mattered.What we get intoRedford & Hoffman, peak charisma: why their odd-couple energy (and immaculate 70s fits) makes procedural journalism feel electric.The craft stuff: split-diopter shots, sound design that drowns phone calls in newsroom chaos, and that final typewriter barrage (“Nixon Resigns”) still landing like a gut punch.Truth vs. proof: editors wrestling with “we know it” versus “we can print it,” and why that tension hits even harder now.Deep Throat decoded: “follow the money,” the parking-garage paranoia, and how the film weaponises quiet dread.Top 5 Roberts (no De Niro, no Redford — house rules)We raid film, TV, music and pop culture for the best Bobs/Roberts/Robbies—from Sideshow Bob and Robert Englund to Robert Mitchum, Rob Reiner, Bob Odenkirk, Robert “Bob with bitch tits” Paulson, SpongeBob (Robert) Squarepants, and some gloriously fringe picks (RIP Rob Garrison, Cobra Kai's OG goon). Expect arguments, deep cuts, and at least one guided detour through Spinal Tap and King Crimson.The chaotic quiz: Redford or Red Ford (…or both)?Sidey springs a quiz where every answer is either Redford (the man) or red Ford (the car on screen). Cue confusion, Christine vs Cars, The Sting, All Is Lost, and a tricksy Winter Soldier “both” that broke brains and buzzers.Content note: swearing, savage tangents, and the occasional anatomical overshare. If you came for “balanced coverage,” you've wildly misread the brand.

In this episode, I sit down with Seth Kearsley, a veteran animation director, writer, and producer, to explore his incredible career. With over three decades in the industry, Seth has worked on fan-favorite shows like The Maxx, The Simpsons, and Dilbert, and directed Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights. We talk about his beginnings, discovering pencil and paper in his dad's truck, and the path that led him to major animation projects.From wild CalArts parties to life advice from Dustin Hoffman, Seth shares stories that are both hilarious and inspiring. He also opens up about Never Wonderland, his dark reimagining of Alice in Wonderland, and how a near-fatal car accident pushed him to focus on personal creative work.We cover everything from directing celebrities and stealing art supplies as a kid to finding balance between perfection and progress. It's an episode full of humor, insight, and behind-the-scenes magic from the world of animation.

This is another milestone. We only had a half hour, so I began by asking a specific question. The video that I posted, that Jennifer had not seen - was of footage of Saipan in 1944. I asked Amelia if this footage featured the Electra? She said it did but the "wrong date." (She says year, but Jennifer later said that meant date to her). The video was 3/4's correct. Because the footage shows three planes in a hangar on Saipan - two Japanese Zeros and another plane covered by camouflage. Amelia confirms that this was her Electra - which they found "the next day." And is part of the book SHE WAS NEVER LOST: THE AMELIA EARHART SAGA. Read it to give this comment context. Then we invited Robert Redford to speak to us. It happens sometimes where I feel like "someone is bugging me" and two days ago that happened. So I asked him all the questions that I could muster about his family and friends. I know the family asked for privacy and apologies for asking him for messages for them - but we've been doing this weekly for ten years now. I've learned that even if a person doesn't believe that we're speaking to their loved one, eventually they come to realize it's accurate. Jennifer revealed she did a reading with Jean Smart, the Emmy winner of "Hacks" - and while not revealing anything they talked about, described the process of their getting together. And then throughout the podcast, she had other things come to mind - working on Robert's daughter's fiancee's case in Colorado - something she hadn't thought about in ten years, but came to her the night before he passed. Jennifer has been working with members of Kobe's family (they've allowed her to say that) - and other folks. The point isn't about celebrity - it's about the fact that Jennifer has the ability to just say whatever comes to mind. I asked Robert how it was he was aware of our class, and Kobe showed Jennifer that it was his introduction that made him show up. We've interviewed a number of his pals, Sidney Pollack's daughter wrote to me that everything we reported was accurate about her, about him turning his chair around and packing his cigarettes while he answered questions. Sidney confirmed a latter he'd written to my pal Phillip Noyce before he passed. We've been doing this for awhile. So I dove into the interview. He had messages for his pals, I asked for them by first names, but anyone could figure out who he's referring to. So Jane Fonda, Barbra Streisand, Dustin Hoffman, Bob Woodward, Meryl Streep, Rod Lurie - he has a comment for all of you. It doesn't matter if one believes it's him speaking to them or not - eventually we'll realize the process. Jennifer can be reaches at JenniferShaffer.com, I can be reached at RichardMartini.com He gives some sage advice about politics, and lowering the political temperature.
“You're trying to seduce me…” The Graduate dropped in 1969 from Mike Nichols on the cutting edge of New Hollywood. The story of a recent college grad and an affair that shapes the transitional years into his adulthood and his lover's middle age. As iconic as a movie can be, Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft starred in a movie that's as relevant now as it was in the aftermath of the Hays Code and on the cusp of a new style of filmmaking that would define a generation of artists. Clint, Cal and Nick talk about revisiting this classic in their own moments of change, how an old school cinematographer was the best way to break new ground and why the movie hits WAY different when you realize you're older than Mrs. Robinson. Meanwhile, Dan's Algorithm wonders where Joe DiMaggio has gone… CineFix Top 100 was created by Clint Gage and Dan Parkhurst and is produced by Tayo Oyekan, with Technical Producers, Marhyan Franzen and Amir Rakib.

Watergate, the scandal that toppled Nixon. All the President's Men (1976) tells the story of Woodward and Bernstein, the two Washington Post journalists who “followed the money” and uncovered corruption at the highest level. But does the film hold up today or has it become a mythologized version of journalism that no longer exists? Richard, Thorin, and MonteCristo dig into Robert Redford & Dustin Hoffman's iconic roles, the slow-burn procedural style, the myth of journalism as a heroic truth-to-power force, and why this movie may feel like historical fiction in today's cynical political world.
I told you I'd make Dustin watch this - and boy did it pay off! I know it's probably a bad podcasting idea to cover a movie no one saw and that the director pulled from all distribution channels... HOWEVER I just saw you can stream MEGALOPOLIS on Apple TV+ right now! So get a free trial and check it out because you will want at least some context for this episode. We dig into all the characters played by spectacular actors and how badly wasted Dustin Hoffman was. We try to explain the fable and allegory as best it makes sense. And we struggle to fathom how a movie about America has zero grasp of what it is or was (or really Rome, for that matter). There are interesting things that worked, and more that should work on paper, so it's complicated and definitely an interesting discussion. Lots to dig into, and we want to hear your takes as well. Leave a voicemail or shoot us a text: +1(724)4-BONERZBefore that, we need to spin for another random movie because we can't find one of the 10 picked last episode. Then Dustin gives spoiler-free first impressions of The Naked Gun (2025), The Thursday Murder Club, and revisiting Ben Hur. Jake shares thoughts after seeing Together, Primitive War, and Unknown Number: The High School Catfish.----Special thank you to Alan Hlavacek and Travis Mason from Attack on Venus for the sick theme music!

Hace algo así como una semana que se me ocurrió que necesitaba o quería escuchar a estos dos con los apellidos de Simon y Garfunkel. El café esta tibio me entero ahora, y solo había empezado con el affaire de la familia Robinson. Algo de estar sentados comodos en el sofa de un domingo y donde fuiste a parar Joe Di Maggio, y otras referencias que son bien de la ciudad que no duerme, del central park en un día soleado, cuando tomaron la foto de estos dos que por un tiempo se aburrieron de vender discos con sus canciones de un puente por el que por debajo hay aguas turbulentas. el que trae los grandes éxitos de estos dos, estaba en la casa en la que vivimos por un tiempo con mis hermanos. Nos mudamos un tiempo a la casa de mi padre, me acuerdo bien, iba a tomar la comunión ese año.faltar un domingo a la misa a una cuadra, era una buena idea si me quedaba escuchando cosas de que el paraíso era algo bueno para los que se quedaban rezando. Un pequeño secreto no ira a misa, y quedarse escuchando a estos dos. Voy a investigar un poco de lo que ya sabía, donde miro encuentro que se conocieron desde muy chicos, que eran compañeros de clase en los días de la escuela en Queens. el primer intento que tuvieron fue malo, eso fue a una temprana edad, en medio de la adolescencia no se sabe cual es tom y el otro Jerry, puede ser que los dos recuerden bien ese primer intento de editar un disco para el fracaso. Parece que eran unos pobres chicos, pero no se habían dedicado al boxeo. Querían hacer canciones que en público escuche, no todos parientes, amigos y familiares. El público de medio millón apareció en el Central Park en 1981, concierto que más de una vez mi madre dijo haber estado, y puedo tomar la letra de otro de la gran manzana que dijo no siempre podes confiar en lo que tu madre ha dicho.en el grandes éxitos de estos dos, el alto y el bajito, no se iban a llamar de ese modo. Art de nombre, rulos rubios alto, con ese nombre más tarde iba a probar suerte en la actuación, pero nunca con Dustin Hoffman, si pudieras hacerme el favor, de agregar mi parte en alguna película que fueras a trabajar después del éxito del graduado. Sucede que luego de probar suerte con Tom el gato y Jerry el ratón se partieron en dos. Paul voló para London town, para ver que cosas podían pasar con el folk oscuro del disco que grabo, que permanece metido en los sonidos del silencio, del fracaso. En que andaba Garfunkel, metido sus ojos en el flash de las luces de neon. El disco que escucho es un jump back, un salto para atrás, un cuarto, una cama que no se parece en nada a estar internado, no es el post operatorio de apendistis casi peritonitis. En aquel día de inverno no había profundo diciembre de nada, desde mi ventana no nevaba, pero sonaba la canción en la que Simon le canta a Garfunkel, soy una roca, mejor una isla soy. No siente dolor, no llora. no voy a querer hablar mucho más de estos dos, es muy probable que solo quiera escucharlos cantar sus canciones, puedo esperar más tiempo, para contar más cosas. También vale decir hablo del amor si quiero, vive en mi memoria. Era muy bueno Simon se convierte en el ratón de las letras. El Wilson Tom que había producido los de Dylan en el mismo sello de Columbia hicieron su primera aparición fallido con la feria de Scarborough y su cantico, ella una vez fue un verdadero amor mió, en la parte profunda de un bosque y por entre montanas y nubes suena esta que trae algo de mas aventuras en el estudio para un cuarto definitivo, despedida de este no va a volver a pasar hasta que vayamos a cumplir 80 años.Con 84 años es el que golpea en las puertas del paraíso desde 1973 es Dylan. Viva la radio,saludos cordiales,the galgo.
Este podcast es el primero de una serie donde haremos un repaso de los coches más bonitos por décadas… Y como sé que algunos diréis: “Eso ya se ha hecho antes” vamos a añadir una cierta dificultad: Elegiremos los más bonitos, entre 15 y 20, que por lógica serán casi todos coupés y además las 3 berlinas más bonitas, un descapotable, un TT y uno que destaque por su aportación estilística… y, como fin de fiesta… ¡El vencedor absoluto! ¿Estás preparado? Comienzo por la década de los 60, porque fue una década prodigiosa. Normalmente usó muchas expresiones como “yo estuve allí”, “probe este coche”, “Fui a la presentación de este modelo” … obviamente, en los coches de hoy no es el caso. Quiero destacar que son coches que descubrí a posteriori y a veces mucho después. Cuando comencé a leer revista regularmente con 12+1 años, en 1973, algunos de esos coches ya eran viejos y los he conocido por maquetas, sobre todo de 1/43 y en algunos casos, mucho después, como clásicos. Así que en muchos casos, puede que los tenga idealizados. Pero para lo que nos atañe es igual, porque en esta colección de videos vamos a hablar de estética y diseño, no de “cómo van”. Y ya directamente, como hay ¡muchos!, casi 30, vamos al lío… ¿Estáis preparados para un Maratón de coches bonitos? Pues comenzamos… Categoría absoluta. AC Shelby Cobra (1962). Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale (1967). Alpine A110 (1963). Aston Martin DB5 (1963). Buick Riviera (1963). Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray (1963). Dino Ferrari GT (1967). Ferrari GTO (1962). Ford Mustang (1965). Iso Rivolta Grifo (1963). Jaguar E (1961). Lamborghini Miura (1966). Lancia Fulvia Coupé HF (1966). Maserati Ghibli (1967). Mercedes Benz 280 SL “Pagoda” (1963). Plymouth Barracuda (1964). Porsche 911 (1964). Toyota 2000 GT (1967). Triumph TR6 (1969). Volvo P 1800 (1961). Llegamos a las Berlinas. Aunque alguno de los coches citados los hubo en versiones berlina, vamos con este apartado exclusivo de coche de 4 puertas. Citroën DS (1955). No, no es un error, se presentó en 1955 pero se vendió hasta 1975 y sus mejores momentos fueron en los años 60. Jaguar XJ6 Series (1968). Este XJ6 en cuyo diseño y definición técnica participó el mismismo Sir Williams Lyons fue un éxito en todos los sentidos. Lincoln Continental (1961). Sí, ya sé que, en este coche, en versión sin techo, fue asesinado el presidente Kennedy. Descapotable. Alfa Romeo Spider “Duetto” (1966). Este coche lo conocí en el cine, en la excelente película de “El graduado” donde compartía protagonismo con el jovencísimo Dustin Hoffman. Todo Terreno. Ford Bronco (1966). Me parece que hay TT muy bonitos, como esta primera generación del Bronco de estética “robusta” y que se acompañaba de un motor V8 de 4.7 litros y 205 CV. Mayor aportación de diseño. Mi idea es que en esta categoría tengamos solo un coche, pero esta vez no he podido resistirme y tenemos dos: Citroën Mehari (1968). Mehari es como se dice “dromedario” en árabe. Este coche reunía las cualidades de sencillez y robustez del mítico 2 CV con la practicidad de una carrocería de inspiración náutica y con un diseño único, agradable y diría que moderno… sencillamente, ¡me encanta! Jeep Wagoneer (1963). Te gusten o no, los SUV han llegado para quedarse. Y aunque el Wagoneer no es realmente el primero, si es el primero que tuvo verdadero éxito. Pretendía re unir las cualidades de robustez y línea rotunda propia de los TT con las comodidades de un turismo. Y lo consiguió… y detrás de él vinieron muchos, muchísimos más… hasta nuestros días.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 8ú lá de mí Lúnasa, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1986 bhí plean ag na dochtúirí chun stailc a dhéanamh ach ar deireadh níor tharla sé mar go raibh idirghabháil ón Chúirt Oibre. I 1991 tháinig sé amach go raibh an costas chun páiste a chuir tríd bunscoil agus meánscoil timpeall 8 míle punt. I 1975 d'oscail an Aire Gaeltacht scoil nua mar go raibh siad ag iarradh níos mó cuairteoirí agus chun na daoine ón chontae chun labhair níos mó Ghaeilge. I 1991 tháinig sé amach go raibh an seomra in Inis chun dialann a fhoilsiú le caitheamh aimsire, imeachtaí agus spórt in Inis. Sin Typically Tropical le Barbados – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1975. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1987 fuair U2 a dara huimhir a haon I Meiriceá lena hamhrán I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For óna albam Joshua Tree. I 2010 bhí parúl Mark David Chapman, dúnmharfóir John Lennon, curtha siar go dtí mí Mheán Fómhair de bharr go raibh siad ag iarradh níos mó eolas a fháil ar an chás. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Dustin Hoffman I Meiriceá I 1937 agus rugadh amhránaí Shawn Mendes I gCeanada ar an lá seo I 1998 agus seo chuid de amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh an tseachtain seo chugainn le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 8th of August, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1986: Strike planned by doctors were averted following intervention by the Labour Court. 1991: It was reported that to educate one child from the beginning r primary school to the end of secondary level it would cost £8,000. 1975: The Minister of the Gaeltacht opened a new school in hopes to interest visitors and urge Clare people to return to Irish Heritage. 1991: It was reported that Junior Chamber Ennis would publish a social diary featuring all social activities, events and sports in Ennis That was Typically Tropical with Barbados – the biggest song on this day in 1975 Onto music news on this day In 1987 U2 scored their second US No.1 single from their Joshua Tree album with 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For'. 2010 John Lennon's killer, Mark David Chapman, had his parole hearing delayed until early September so that officials could gather additional information. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Dustin Hoffman was born in America in 1937 and singer Shawn Mendes was born in Canada on this day in 1998 and this is one of his songs. I'll be back with you next week with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

We were in actual tears by the end of this episode. Kel takes us back to 1960 on the remote island of Hydra, where singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen first met and fell in love with Marianne Ihlen, a young mother from Norway. Although their paths didn't stay aligned forever, Leonard and Marianne never quite forgot each other– even in their very last days. Whether you're unfamiliar with Leonard's music (although everyone knows ‘Hallelujah') or a die-hard Cohen fan, there's a lot to learn from Leonard and Marianne's relationship. But first, Kel makes Mel and Kaitlyn correctly differentiate Leonard Cohen, Dustin Hoffman, and Al Pacino in a lineup. Later, she has a random rant about the Boygenius song “Leonard Cohen.” And we end it with a good cry… “It's time to laugh and cry, and cry and laugh about it all again.” Mentioned in Episode: Leonard Cohen, Dustin Hoffman, or Al Pacino? ***** This is a teaser for a bonus episode— the full episode is 2 hr 59 minutes long!

Nathan is still recovering from Jason's gunshots so Jerika fills in this week to help discuss Francis Ford Coppola's film Megalopolis after nearly 50 years in the making. Did Francis really cast the Cancelled Actor All-Stars? Is there any baseline of logic to understand ANY of this movie? Does Aubrey Plaza nearly save this entire thing? Should this have been a musical? And just what in the hell did Jon Voight just say?! Next week: Nathan returns as the guys go nuclear.

In a long, sad American tradition, comics have been cancelled, arrested, and harassed for exercising their First Amendment rights. 1974's Lenny starring (the ironically now cancelled Dustin Hoffman) shows how far we've come and how much we've stepped back from progress. What differentiates tasteful subversive comedy from exploitative junk? Was Lenny Bruce a great comic, or was he trying too hard to make a point about censorship? Find out our thoughts here.

For our final episode in this summer's Drive-In series, we review the film, "Hook," a cinematic endeavor released in 1991, which features the esteemed talents of Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman. We engage in a critical discourse regarding the film's unjust placement on the list of poorly rated movies, as evidenced by its subpar score on Rotten Tomatoes. Our examination delves into the narrative elements, character arcs, and thematic undercurrents that contribute to the film's enduring appeal, particularly in relation to the themes of nostalgia, familial bonds, and the importance of childlike wonder. As we explore our personal connections to the film, we articulate our perspectives on its merits and shortcomings, striving to ascertain whether its critical reception aligns with our own sentiments. Ultimately, we invite listeners to reflect on their interpretations of "Hook," as we navigate the complexities of nostalgia and cinematic critique in our discussion.The dialogue centers around the cinematic exploration of 'Hook,' a film that presents a reimagined narrative of Peter Pan, now portrayed as an adult grappling with the responsibilities of life. The hosts express their disbelief at the film's low Rotten Tomatoes rating, which they categorize as a profound injustice against a film that resonates deeply with themes of nostalgia and the complexities of adulthood. Their discussion unveils the intricate layers of the plot, which follows Peter's journey from a work-obsessed lawyer back to the world of Neverland, where he confronts the infamous Captain Hook, a character brought to life by the talented Dustin Hoffman.Throughout the podcast, the hosts engage in a reflective analysis of the film's thematic elements, particularly the dichotomy between childhood innocence and adult responsibilities. They underscore the importance of imagination and the loss of one's youthful spirit, positing that these concepts are pivotal to the film's narrative. The hosts also critique certain aspects of the film, such as its pacing and length, suggesting that a more concise structure could enhance its overall impact, yet they remain steadfast in their admiration for its emotional depth.In wrapping up their discourse, the hosts invite listeners to reassess 'Hook' not merely through the lens of critical reviews but as a profound exploration of the human experience. They emphasize the film's ability to evoke powerful emotions and provoke thought, ultimately urging audiences to embrace its messages about family, adventure, and the enduring power of imagination.Takeaways: The film 'Hook' explores the theme of rediscovering one's childhood and the importance of imagination, as Peter Pan learns to reconnect with his inner child. Critics have often dismissed 'Hook' as a failure, yet the film resonates deeply with audiences who appreciate its nostalgic value and emotional depth. The portrayal of Captain Hook in 'Hook' adds complexity to the character, showcasing his desire for revenge and reclamation of honor, rather than presenting him as a one-dimensional villain. Despite its low Rotten Tomatoes score, 'Hook' features strong performances, particularly by Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman, contributing to its enduring appeal and cultural significance. .We discuss all this and more in this one!

Tonight's Triple Feature is a director spotlight on Barry Levinson, a filmmaker whose career is as quietly influential as it is stylistically fluid. We're looking at three of his most potent and thematically rich films: Good Morning, Vietnam (1987), Sleepers (1996), and Wag the Dog (1997). While these movies differ wildly in tone—ranging from manic comedy to grim drama to razor-sharp political satire—they're united by something deeper: a fascination with storytelling as both a tool of survival and a weapon of manipulation.To understand how these films fit together—and what they say about Levinson himself—we need to start with the man behind the camera.Who Is Barry Levinson?Barry Levinson emerged from the 1980s auteur boom with a distinctly humanistic voice. A Baltimore native, Levinson first made his mark as a screenwriter, penning ...And Justice for All (1979) and Diner (1982), the latter of which marked his directorial debut. He quickly carved out a niche making intelligent, character-driven dramas with sharp dialogue and a blend of humor and melancholy.You might call him an American moralist—but a flexible one. His best films don't preach; they interrogate. Levinson doesn't arrive at the story with a hammer and message—he arrives with a question. What is the cost of truth? What happens when institutions fail? What stories do we tell to protect ourselves… or to control others?This puts him in a rare category: a commercial filmmaker who consistently tackles uncomfortable ideas, often smuggled into crowd-pleasing packages.The Aesthetic: Naturalism Meets Narrative ControlVisually, Levinson isn't flashy. He doesn't announce himself with whip-pans or long takes. Instead, his aesthetic is clean, restrained, and deceptively simple—he clears space for character and performance. He's a director who understands the power of a well-cast actor and a lived-in setting.But beneath the grounded surface, Levinson is obsessed with the structure and function of narrative. His films constantly interrogate who gets to tell the story, why they're telling it, and what the consequences are. That meta-awareness—about media, perception, and memory—is central to tonight's triple feature.Good Morning, Vietnam (1987): Humor as SubversionGood Morning, Vietnam is perhaps Levinson's most accessible film, largely thanks to Robin Williams' explosive, genre-defying performance as real-life military radio DJ Adrian Cronauer. On the surface, it's a war comedy—a zany, rapid-fire laugh-fest set against the backdrop of Vietnam. But dig deeper, and it's a biting exploration of truth, censorship, and the psychological cost of telling jokes in a world on fire.Levinson lets Williams run wild, yes—but he also carefully frames Cronauer as a man whose humor is both a coping mechanism and a form of protest. The military brass wants control over the narrative. Cronauer wants to tell the truth, or at least laugh at the lie. And that tension—between comedy and tragedy, propaganda and rebellion—makes the film more than just a showcase for improv. It becomes a study of how humor can be a form of defiance in the face of institutional rot.This is Levinson at his most charming, but also his most subversive. He knows a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down—and he laces the sugar with acid.Sleepers (1996): Trauma, Brotherhood, and Justice Outside the SystemNearly a decade later, Levinson delivered Sleepers, a completely different animal. Based on Lorenzo Carcaterra's controversial novel (whose “based on a true story” claim remains disputed), Sleepers is a dark, operatic tale of childhood abuse and adult revenge. The humor of Vietnam is gone. In its place: Catholic guilt, corrupted institutions, and the brutal costs of unresolved trauma.If Good Morning, Vietnam was about resisting propaganda, Sleepers is about rewriting it. The second half of the film becomes an elaborate lie—a staged trial, manufactured witnesses, rigged outcomes—all orchestrated not to deceive the audience, but to achieve justice the legal system refuses to provide.Levinson doesn't ask us to condone this. He asks us to understand it. What happens when the people we trust—priests, guards, judges—become the abusers? And what happens when no one will hold them accountable?This is Levinson's angriest film, and his most emotionally direct. It's also deeply personal. Set in Hell's Kitchen in the 1960s, it's saturated with nostalgia—until that nostalgia curdles. It's the American coming-of-age story turned into a horror film.And once again, we're dealing with a narrator—Jason Patric's character—telling us the story long after the fact. But can we trust him? Should we?Levinson doesn't answer. He just holds the camera steady.Wag the Dog (1997): Manufacturing Reality in Real TimeIf Sleepers is a courtroom drama told through shadows and memory, Wag the Dog is a satire of the same mechanisms—but weaponized in real time. Released just weeks before the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal broke, this film is practically prophetic.A spin doctor (Robert De Niro) and a Hollywood producer (Dustin Hoffman) fabricate a fake war to distract from a presidential sex scandal. It's absurd. It's hilarious. And it feels… inevitable.This is Levinson in full meta mode, stripping the illusion of politics down to its skeleton. But while the premise is cynical, the filmmaking is precise and controlled. The performances are pitch-perfect. The script, by David Mamet and Hilary Henkin, is lean and lethal. And the message is terrifying:If the story is good enough, the facts don't matter.Wag the Dog completes the arc that began with Vietnam. In that film, the media truth-teller is punished. In Wag the Dog, the media manipulator is rewarded. Humor, once a weapon of rebellion, has become a tool of control. The satirical bite here is so sharp it draws blood.What These Films Say About LevinsonTaken together, these three films show a director fascinated by the moral weight of storytelling. Levinson keeps returning to the same idea: that narrative is power. Whether it's used to comfort soldiers, avenge childhood trauma, or distract a nation, stories shape the way we see the world—and they're always being weaponized by someone.He's not flashy. He's not dogmatic. But Barry Levinson understands something fundamental: that the line between truth and fiction is thin, fragile, and often chosen for us by people we'll never meet.And that's what makes him one of the most essential—and underrated—American filmmakers of the last 40 years.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Fran and Babs from Over/underrated podcast return to Flixwatcher to review Fran's choice Chef. Chef (2014) is a comedy drama road trip film, written, directed and starring Jon (Iron Man) Favreau. Also starring Sofía Vergara, John Leguizamo, Scarlett Johansson, Oliver Platt, Bobby Cannavale, Amy Sedaris, Emjay Anthony, and Dustin Hoffman, along with Robert Downey Jr. Miami Chef Carl Casper is the head chef at a popular LA restaurant but clashes with the restaurant owner over the menu. When he receives a negative food review from a prestigious food critic and blogger Ramsey Michel he unintentionally starts a Twitter (hello 2014!) spat. After a failed attempt to serve innovative cuisine to Michel and redeem his status, Casper quits and decides to take his food on the road in a food truck and drag his son along for the ride. Chef is a charming and easy going film, even if it is occasionally a vehicle for Favreau's ego. If you enjoy food and hold nostalgia for a time when Twitter was a fun social media platform then Chef is the film for you. Chef scores highly across all categories apart from repeat viewing to give an overall rating of 3.70.

[Chorus] We won't die, not today Though McClintock's bombs are coming, we still found another way We tracked that monkey through the trees, we hit the skies, we found a cure Now this town will stand, and science will endure [Verse 3] Jimbo touched that monkey, which grayed out his anatomy You can call him McDreamy, but his guts turned creamy Made out with his girlfriend and his luck ran dry First on the slab, and the first to die [Bridge] And Robby held on strong, though her hands began to shake Her life on the line, with every move she'd make But with serum in the needle and a second left to spare She took the cure and breathed again, fresh hope in the air [Chorus] We won't die, no, not this time Though fear spread fast and high command tried to cross the line They said “nuke it from orbit,” we said “That's insane!” So we flew between the bombs and saved the town from flame Cedar Creek still breathes… And we—we won't die

This week, we're sinking into the beautifully awkward and emotionally layered world of The Graduate (1967), a landmark in American cinema that captured the confusion and alienation of a generation—and still resonates today.Directed by Mike Nichols and based on Charles Webb's novel, The Graduate stars a breakout Dustin Hoffman as Benjamin Braddock, a recent college graduate adrift in a sea of expectations, ennui, and passive-aggressive dinner parties. Returning home to California, Ben finds himself stuck in a well-off suburban limbo, unsure of what to do with his future and utterly disconnected from the adults around him.Enter Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), the wife of his father's business partner and one of the most iconic seductresses in film history. Their affair is sultry, weirdly funny, and shot through with a tragic edge that gives the film its unique tone—equal parts satire, drama, and coming-of-age fable. Complications multiply when Ben falls for Mrs. Robinson's daughter Elaine (Katharine Ross), throwing everyone's lives into romantic chaos and sparking a messy, impulsive pursuit that culminates in one of the most famous closing shots in cinema history.Visually, The Graduate is striking—Nichols' inventive use of framing, reflections, and slow dissolves elevates the emotional subtext, and Simon & Garfunkel's folk-heavy soundtrack ("The Sound of Silence", "Mrs. Robinson") lingers in your head long after the credits roll. The music doesn't just underscore the scenes—it becomes a character in itself, echoing Benjamin's alienation and longing.But what really makes The Graduate endure is its tonal complexity. It's satirical, yes, but also melancholic. Benjamin isn't a traditional hero; he's self-absorbed, indecisive, and often unlikeable. Yet in that uncertainty lies the film's power—it taps into that restless moment between adolescence and adulthood where everything feels hollow, and rebellion can look like love, lust, or simply running away.Is the ending romantic or despairing? Is Benjamin a rebel or just another aimless rich kid? The Graduate leaves space for interpretation, and that ambiguity is what keeps it feeling alive, even decades later.So whether you're watching for the sharp dialogue, the iconic performances, or just to see Dustin Hoffman awkwardly floating in a pool of existential dread—this one's a classic for a reason.
Ever heard of Jurassic Park? Michael Crichton's greatest adaptation! Well get ready for another adaptation that's not Congo, Sphere. A movie about aliens and time travel and Sphere's and nightmares. Starring a young…ish Samuel L Jackson, Dustin Hoffman and Sharon Stone it sank like a bloody stone at the box office due to poor reception and general disinterest in its blend of sci-fi and horror.

In 1990, Disney released the movie Dick Tracy under the Touchstone Pictures umbrella. Initially, the theme parks were full of Dick Tracy references, but that died down quickly, and you can hardly find any traces of this movie in the parks. On today's show, Rick and Maz talk about the film after rewatching it for the first time in decades.
Paul joins the boys to take on 1978's masterful crime / character study / social commentary of a film in "Straight Time," starring Dustin Hoffman, Theresa Russell, M. Emmett Walsh, Harry Dean Stanton, and Gary Busey. You may not have heard of this one, but its a classic, and you will enjoy it.

Based upon the comic strip created in 1931 by Chester Gould, this eye-popping live-action adaptation was long planned by Oscar-winning director Warren Beatty (Reds, Heaven Can Wait) who also elected to star as the titular square-jawwed crime fighter sporting a bright yellow jacket. Finally green-lit and released by Disney in the wake of the breakout success the prior year of Tim Burton's Batman, the studio was hoping that it could duplicate the mega-blockbuster success of that comic book adaptation, backing its release with loads of marketing hype AND three different soundtrack albums including an assortment of original songs written by Tony-winning songwriting stage legend Stephen Sondheim (West Side Story, Into the Woods) and performed one of its co-stars....that would be Madonna who played Breathtless Mahoney, who is also a key femme fatale for the story. She is joined by completely STACKED cast by Paul Sorvino, Mandy Patinkin, Glenne Headley, Charlie Korsmo, Charles Durning, James Caan, Dustin Hoffman, AND Al Pacino who plays the film's main villain Big Boy Caprice. Alas the film did solid box office but did not live up to the Batman-level hype...though it DID set a record for most Oscars won by a comic book adaptation with three for Best Makeup, Best Original Song, and Best Art Direction.
