It's as if 007 went to prison for decades, was let out by government guys played by John Spencer & William Forsythe and then he had to help a nerdy Nicolas Cage save hostages on a deserted island. Well, hold up, that IS the plot of The Rock! Michael Bay's action movie is deeper than you might expect, with Ed Harris playing a superstar Marine general who becomes a terrorist…with sympathetic complexity. Cage is the out-of-his-element expert on chemical weapons who teams with Sean Connery's Bond-like ex-spy who once escaped from Alcatraz. The flick is a Bay/Bruckheimer/Simpson collab so it's gaudy, loud, tart-tongued and very exciting. Those 2 Mexican stand-offs are phenomenal scenes. There's death and destruction in The Rock, sure, yet it's just fun. So, yesh, cut Agent Goodspeed some slack as he battles the guy threatening to launch deadly gas while mourning his men (and "his wife") in this 744th episode. Well, Actually: Mason uses SF Information to find his daughter...he doesn't just magically remember a phone number he never had. Also, the funny line about bailing on lemons is in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, not I Love You, Man. Also also, it DOES seem like Tony Todd's character knocks over a rock on purpose to start a massacre in the shower scene...and also at least SOME of Hummel's marines are killed when that "all enemies…foreign, sir, and domestic" melee is over.

Welcome to another episode of The Video Store Podcast. This week I am recommending four movies about undercover work. That can mean a lot of things in movies. Sometimes it is a young cop trying to prove himself. Sometimes it is a guy returning to a place where everyone already knows him. Sometimes it is a job that starts out dangerous and then gets worse because the people doing it begin to lose track of who they are supposed to be.I have always liked this kind of story because it gives crime movies a built in problem right away. The person at the center has to lie, but the lie only works if part of it feels true. That is where these movies live. None of them treat undercover work as clean or especially clever. It is usually sweaty, stressful, and bad for everyone involved.No Man's Land (1987)No Man's Land stars D. B. Sweeney as a young cop who goes undercover to get inside a Porsche theft ring run by Charlie Sheen. It was directed by Peter Werner and written by Dick Wolf, which is a little interesting now because most people probably connect Wolf with Law and Order and television crime stories. Here he is working in a very eighties lane, with stolen sports cars, Los Angeles money, and Charlie Sheen doing the smooth rich kid criminal thing.This is not the deepest movie on the shelf, but it has a good setup and a lot of period texture. The car stuff helps. A crime ring built around stolen Porsches feels very much of its moment, and the movie understands the appeal of that world even while it is showing you the danger underneath it. Sweeney is good as someone who is not quite ready for the assignment, and Sheen is believable as the guy who makes bad choices look attractive.The cast also includes Randy Quaid, M. Emmet Walsh, Lara Harris, and Bill Duke. I always like when Bill Duke shows up in something, and in this week's lineup he shows up twice, once here as an actor and later as the director of Deep Cover (1992). That was not the reason I picked these four, but it is a nice bit of video store shelf connection.State of Grace (1990)State of Grace stars Sean Penn as Terry Noonan, an undercover cop who returns to Hell's Kitchen and reconnects with the people he grew up with. The problem is that those people are now tied into the Irish mob, and some of them still see him as one of their own. That makes the undercover part more personal than usual. He is not just pretending to belong. In some ways, he already did.The cast is a big part of the reason to watch this one. Ed Harris is controlled and cold as Frankie Flannery, Gary Oldman is all nerves and damage as Jackie, and Robin Wright gives the movie more emotional weight than it would have had with a thinner version of that role. John Turturro and John C. Reilly are in there too, which gives the movie one of those casts where you keep noticing people before they became more familiar.It was directed by Phil Joanou, written by Dennis McIntyre, shot by Jordan Cronenweth, and scored by Ennio Morricone. That is a lot of strong names attached to a movie that never became as famous as it probably should have. Part of the problem is timing. It came out in 1990, the same year as Goodfellas, and that is a tough shadow for any New York crime movie to stand in. State of Grace is not Goodfellas, and it is not trying to be. Rush (1991)Rush is a heavier version of the undercover story. Jason Patric and Jennifer Jason Leigh play narcotics officers working a drug case in 1970s Texas, and the movie is less interested in the mechanics of the investigation than in what the job does to them. It is about crossing lines, then having trouble finding those lines again.The movie was directed by Lili Fini Zanuck and based on Kim Wozencraft's novel, which was inspired by her own time as an undercover narcotics officer. Pete Dexter wrote the screenplay, and the cast includes Sam Elliott, Max Perlich, and Gregg Allman. That last bit always makes the movie feel slightly stranger on paper than it plays on screen, because Allman fits into the world of the movie pretty naturally.Rush is not a casual watch. Jason Patric was very good in this period at playing men who seem like they have already made peace with ruining themselves, and Jennifer Jason Leigh makes her character's slide feel believable without turning it into a big speech. Eric Clapton did the music, and the soundtrack became better known than the movie in some circles because of Tears in Heaven. The film itself is rougher and less sentimental than people might expect from that association.Deep Cover (1992)Deep Cover stars Laurence Fishburne, still credited here as Larry Fishburne, as a police officer recruited by the DEA to go undercover in Los Angeles. Jeff Goldblum plays the lawyer and criminal operator he gets close to, and Goldblum gives the movie a different kind of villain than the usual street level dealer. He is funny, polished, and awful in a way that feels very specific to him.This was directed by Bill Duke, and it is one of the best undercover crime movies of the period. It has the shape of a genre film, but it is also angry about the systems around the drug war. Fishburne is excellent because he never plays the character as a cool movie cop enjoying the danger. He looks like someone being hollowed out by the job, which makes the movie more interesting as it goes along.The title song is also a major part of the movie's history. Deep Cover was Dr. Dre's debut solo single and introduced a lot of listeners to Snoop Doggy Dogg. That song has lived on in a big way, but the movie deserves to be remembered right alongside it. It is sharp, stylish, and still feels a little mean around the edges.All four of these movies are about people who are supposed to keep their identities separate, and none of them are very good at it for long. No Man's Land (1987) gives you the flashy version with stolen cars and rich criminals. State of Grace (1990) makes it about old friends and old wounds. Rush (1991) turns the assignment into something punishing and personal. Deep Cover (1992) takes the undercover story and pushes it into something colder and more political.If I were standing behind the counter this week, these are the four I would point you toward. They are not all doing the same thing, but they belong together on the same rental stack. Undercover movies work best when the job stops being just a job, and each of these gets there in its own way.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!

Following up on a cultural phenomenon like “Yellowstone” is no easy task. Any spin-off has to balance honoring what made the original series a hit while finding its own fresh ground. With “Dutton Ranch,” especially after the letdown of “Marshals,” that challenge falls on Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler, who leave Montana behind for Texas in hopes of building something new, only to discover that new beginnings come with familiar dangers. Maybe they're magnets for this kind of thing.“Dutton Ranch,” the new “Yellowstone” spin-off that follows Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler as they gamble everything on a new life in Texas. Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser return as the fan-favorite couple, with Finn Little back as Carter. This time, the Dutton orbit expands to include Annette Bening as Beulah Jackson, a formidable Texas rancher whose power, control, and family legacy put her directly in Beth's path. The series also stars Ed Harris, Jai Courtney, J.R. Villarreal, Marc Menchaca, Juan Pablo Raba, Natalie Alyn Lind, and more.READ MORE: ‘Dutton Ranch' Review: Beth and Rip's Texas Reset Is Mostly A ‘Yellowstone' Rehash With Fewer Culture-War DetoursOn this episode of Bingeworthy, host Mike DeAngelo speaks with Reilly, Bening, and Hauser about carrying the “Yellowstone” legacy into a new chapter. The conversations cover Beth and Rip's move from Montana to Texas, Beulah's dangerous grip on power, the show's darker Episode 4 turn, and how the creative team approached evolving characters that fans already know inside and out.
Dana and Tom with 5x Club Member, Jesse Sertle (Fellow group member of CineMadison) discuss The Rock (1996) for its 30th anniversary: directed by Michael Bay, written by David Weisberg, Douglas S. Cook, and Mark Rosner, cinematography by John Schwartzman, editing by Richard Francis-Bruce, music by Nick Glennie-Smith and Hans Zimmer, starring Sean Connery, Ed Harris, and Nicolas Cage.Plot Summary: In The Rock, a rogue U.S. general (Ed Harris) seizes Alcatraz Island and threatens San Francisco with stolen chemical weapons, forcing an unlikely duo—a bookish FBI chemist (Nicolas Cage) and a vanished‑from‑the‑grid ex‑spy (Sean Connery) —into the island's fog‑shrouded fortress. As they infiltrate the abandoned prison's tunnels and rusted battlements, the mission becomes a tense clash of wills and philosophies, where loyalty, guilt, and the weight of past secrets press in as heavily as the Pacific mist. The Rock turns into a high‑stakes pressure cooker, inviting you into a world where every corridor hums with danger and every choice feels like it could tip the balance.Guest:Jesse Sertle (5x Club Member)Fellow group member of CineMadisonPreviously on Rounders (1998), Easy Rider (1969), and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019), Star Wars (1977)@jsertle on IGChapters:00:00 Introduction, Cast, and Background for The Rock03:00 Welcome Back, Jesse Sertle06:04 Tom's Difficulty with Michael Bay08:55 Relationship(s) with The Rock14:07 Michael Bay19:28 Nicolas Cage23:24 Sean Connery25:23 How to Enjoy Any Michael Bay Movie26:25 Plot Summary for The Rock27:23 What is The Rock About?28:41 Did You Know?32:39 First Break33:22 What's Happening with Jesse Sertle?34:03 Best Performance(s)39:51 Best Scene(s)47:22 Second Break48:14 Best/Funniest Lines51:24 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy57:09 The Stanley Rubric - Impact/Significance01:01:45 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty01:05:02 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness01:11:53 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability01:16:10 The Stanley Rubric - Audience Score and Final Total01:17:49 Remaining Questions for The Rock01:20:19 Thank You to Jesse and Remaining Thoughts01:23:33 CreditsYou can also find this episode in full video on YouTube.You can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky, Threads, YouTube, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast).For more on the episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/the-rock-1996-ft-jesse-sertleFor the entire rankings list so far, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/greatest-movie-of-all-time-listKeywords:The Rock, Michael Bay, Nicolas Cage, Sean Connery, Ed Harris, 90s action movies, film critique, behind the scenes, movie analysis, film analysis, movie review, 90s cinema, rewatchability, film legacyRonny Duncan Studios
Take pleasure in the gut-wrenching excitement of a 90s action milestone! This week on The Dana Buckler Show, we are heading straight to Alcatraz to break down Michael Bay's 1996 definitive high-concept thriller, The Rock.Coming off the success of Bad Boys, Michael Bay was handed the keys to a massive blockbuster budget, a killer premise, and an absolutely legendary cast. The result? A beautifully shot, fast-paced, explosion-filled masterpiece that stands as a high-water mark for the golden era of 90s action cinema and Hollywood summer blockbusters.In this cinema retrospective, film historian Dana Buckler dives deep into: The Powerhouse Trio: The incredible, lightning-in-a-bottle chemistry between Nicolas Cage's frantic, vinyl-loving FBI chemical weapons expert Stanley Goodspeed and Sean Connery's sophisticated, badass British operative John Patrick Mason. The Sympathetic Villain: Ed Harris's brilliant, nuanced performance as General Hummel—an antagonist with legitimate, tragic motives that elevate the stakes way beyond a standard hostage situation. The Pinnacle of 90s Action: From the iconic, destructive Ferrari car chase through the streets of San Francisco to the brutal shower room standoff, we break down why the practical effects and set pieces in this film still hold up today. The Uncredited Script Doctors: How Hollywood legends like Quentin Tarantino, Aaron Sorkin, and Jonathan Hensleigh secretly helped polish the razor-sharp dialogue. Whether you're a long-time fan who can quote "Your best! Losers always whine about their best" line-for-line, or you're revisiting this classic Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer production era for the first time, grab your green smoke and join us for the ultimate film review.Welcome to The Rock!Join our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/danabucklershowJoin my Patreon for early access to all episodes, plus a new exclusive podcast, go to Patreon.com/howisthismovieSubscribe to the podcast on your favorite podcast platform by going to https://linktr.ee/DanaBucklerShowJoin our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/danabucklershowJoin Our Patreon for early access to all episodes, plus a new exclusive podcast, go to Patreon.com/howisthismovie #TheRock #TheDanaBuckler Show #90sAction #NicolasCage #SeanConnery #MichaelBay #FilmPodcast #MovieHistory #CinemaRetrospective #ActionMovies #90sCinema #FilmBuff
This week, we're greenlighting the incursion with 1996's "The Rock." We talk all about the Michael Bay blockbuster with Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage, Ed Harris and about 75 other awesome actors, and we examine how well the action holds up 30 years later. Listen now.
In dieser Folge sprechen wir weiter über *The Abyss* von James Cameron und setzen die Besprechung in der zweiten Hälfte des Films fort. Wir greifen zunächst Hörerkommentare auf und gehen dabei auch auf unterschiedliche Schnittfassungen sowie Laufzeiten des Films ein. Ein längerer Teil der Folge dreht sich um Bildraten und die Unterschiede zwischen PAL und NTSC. Wir erklären den 3:2-Pulldown, sprechen über unterschiedliche Framerates bei Film und Video und erwähnen, dass dadurch Filme in verschiedenen Regionen unterschiedlich lang wirken können. Dabei ziehen wir auch Vergleiche zu älteren Spielekonsolen und deren Geschwindigkeit in PAL- und NTSC-Gebieten. Danach besprechen wir die Unterwasserszene, in der Ed Harris und sein Partner durch die Station und den Moon Pool nach draußen gelangen. Wir sprechen über die extreme Kälte, den Druck unter Wasser, die Frage nach dem Atmen und darüber, dass die Figuren die Wege in der Station sehr genau kennen. Außerdem gehen wir auf die helle, blau geprägte Beleuchtung und die akustische Gestaltung der Szene ein. Im Mittelpunkt steht anschließend die Konfrontation zwischen Bud und Coffee. Wir beschreiben, wie Bud sich vorsichtig an Coffee heranschleicht, die Waffe entnimmt, Coffee aber dennoch die Lage eskaliert. Danach entwickelt sich ein enger Kampf im flachen Wasser, in dem Coffees Wahnsinn und Buds Zurückhaltung gegeneinander stehen. Wir loben dabei besonders die Inszenierung, die Nähe der Kamera und die Spannung der Szene. Zum Schluss sprechen wir über die Verfolgung mit dem kleinen U-Boot und dem Sprengkopf. Bud versucht, das Gefährt zu stoppen, während die Station umgebaut, geschossen und improvisiert wird. Dabei fällt auch auf, wie kompetent Lindsay und andere Figuren dargestellt werden. Die Folge endet mit dem Ausblick auf die Fortsetzung der Verfolgung in der nächsten Episode.

Here's something worth knowing. Clean energy is now the cheapest source of new electricity in most of the world. Solar. Wind. Battery storage. The technology works. The prices are down. There is no good reason to keep burning fossil fuels except one: money. Fossil fuel companies spend millions lobbying politicians to block clean energy policy. That investment pays off for them. It does not pay off for the rest of us. We get higher energy costs, dirtier air, and a planet that keeps warming. So here's what you can do. Contact your elected representatives.

I also appreciate the Pride Month specials you've done in the past, emphasizing that Celtic music is a space for everyone." Shel O'Toole commented on Patreon: "Good for you Marc, it's important to call out hate and bigotry when we see it. Governments like to dehumanise those they either don't understand or choose to see as an enemy. That way they can go to war without feeling any conscience about killing other people. I believe love is the most powerful universal force and it's love that should be promoted, not fear and hatred." Frank Higgins replied to my email about How do you celebrate Celtic culture through music?: "My wife plays at a session at a pub every week. We've also gone to ireland twice with Kevin Burke on a music tour with a group of people."
Breaking Barriers: Krissy and Nathan Strap In for The Right StuffWelcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Show. Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell strap in for Philip Kaufman's sweeping 1983 epic The Right Stuff — a film so genuinely, stubbornly good that it nearly breaks their ability to snark about it.The central tension here isn't between astronauts and gravity — it's between Krissy and Nathan and a movie that refuses to be easily summed up. With an extraordinary ensemble (Ed Harris, Dennis Quaid, Sam Shepard, Fred Ward, Jeff Goldblum, and at least ten more "wait, is that—?" faces), The Right Stuff sprawls across three hours and twelve minutes like a prestige mini-series that never quite got the memo it was a movie. The hosts dig into what makes it so entertaining moment to moment — the absurdist testing sequences, Goldblum perpetually racing in with news everyone already has, and the quiet, earned power of Ed Harris telling the Vice President to back off his wife.What you get here is two people genuinely wrestling with a film they admire deeply, laughing at the bits that deserve laughs and getting a little misty at the bits that earn it. The conversation is premise-level — no endings spoiled, no surprises given away — just an honest, warmhearted debate about what holds this sprawling, magnificent beast together.TruStory FM | Membership (early, ad-free access + bonus content): Join | Socials: Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | Learn more about the hosts: Neighborhood Comedy Theatre | Squishy StudiosIf you could only keep one scene from The Right Stuff, what would it be — and why? ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.

Cathy and Todd discuss Apollo 13 (1995) for Space Month, Ron Howard's docudrama starring Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Gary Sinise, and Ed Harris, based on the true story of NASA’s near-disastrous 1970 lunar mission. The film was nominated for nine Academy Awards and grossed over $355 million worldwide, cementing its place as one of the great survival stories ever put on screen. They discuss the complicated legacies of the astronauts, the emotional devastation of the wives left behind, and why the most famous line in the film isn’t what anyone actually said.

An FBI chemical weapons expert (Oscar-winner Nicholas Cage) and a former SAS soldier turned political prisoner (Oscar-winner Sean Connery) must break into Alcatraz prison when a rogue military group, lead by a renegade general (Oscar-nominee Ed Harris), has taken it over and are now threatening a nerve gas attack on San Franscisco. This high-octane action thriller was a huge smash when released in the Summer of 1996 and helped cement director Michael Bay (Bad Boys, Armageddon, Transformers, Pearl Harbor) as an established brand of filmmaker for decades to come. The stacked supporting cast also includes John Spencer, David Morse, William Forsythe, Vanessa Marcil, Tony Todd, Bokeem Woodbine, and Michael Biehn among several others.

In this episode, Alex Stolz speaks with Jeff Rivera, three-time Telly Award winner, author, producer and AI storytelling pioneer, about creator-driven, AI-enabled production. Jeff shares his journey from developing projects within the traditional Hollywood system to experimenting with new AI-assisted workflows that allow creators to move from idea to execution faster than ever before. From worldbuilding and character design to animation pipelines and audience development, he offers a detailed look at how he is building and testing projects outside of the traditional development model. The conversation dives deep into the practical realities of working with AI today: the tools Jeff is using, how much these workflows actually cost, the progress being made around character consistency, and why storytelling remains the true differentiator in an age where production capabilities are becoming increasingly accessible. Alex and Jeff also explore the bigger strategic questions emerging around creator ownership, audience-building, monetisation, copyright and chain of title, as well as what happens when anyone can potentially create studio-quality work from a laptop. Jeff also shares practical strategies for building your '1,000 true fans' and ways in which he is monetising his work. At its heart, this is a conversation about creative agency, emerging workflows, and how creators can navigate a landscape where the barriers to making work are rapidly changing - but where the need for meaningful stories remains.

This transcript explores the Infinite Plane Society's critical analysis of modern conspiracy theories, media manipulation, and the blurring lines between reality and fiction. The speaker critiques Christian pastors and influencers who claim secret government knowledge regarding alien disclosure, dismissing these narratives as state-sponsored psyops or “clout-chasing.” By examining Hollywood archetypes, the text suggests that cinema and news act as a “New Testament” used to program public perception through esoteric symbolism. The discussion further addresses internet censorship, arguing that recent platform bans are premeditated strikes designed to control the narrative of upcoming global events. Ultimately, the source advocates for a philosophy of informed disbelief, urging listeners to recognize patterns of deception within a rigged media system.The Pastor “Secret Meeting” Psyop: Pastors are claiming they attended a secret government meeting to prepare their congregations for a massive disclosure regarding non-terrestrial, interdimensional beings that are supposedly biblical angels.Quote: “The first rule of this secret meeting about something that's going to change the world is to talk about it on X.”Hollywood Archetype Casting: The sources argue that major celebrities are cast to embody deep esoteric archetypes, such as Michael Jackson and Joaquin Phoenix as Christ figures, or Ed Harris as a “Demiurge” character.Quote: “Instead of like typecasting, archetype casting refers to beyond just their superficial characteristics... what deeper symbolism can they embody what can they put into the subtext.”Predictive Programming and 9/11: Significant media, including The Matrix and James Cameron's Titanic, supposedly contains coded references to 9/11 and other “future” events, suggesting a scripted reality.Quote: “The movie screen is the Overton window and anything they put on the movie screen is now in the public's frame of reference and they are prepared to accept it.”The “Pre-Purge” Censorship: The recent deletion of independent channels like Tim Truth and the IPS is viewed as premeditated “pre-purging” to ensure total narrative control over an upcoming major event, possibly involving nukes or UFOs.Quote: “I think they are pre purging Because they want to have total creative control over what they do next and I think it has something to do with nukes and UFOs.”Informed Disbelief vs. Media Religion: The speaker differentiates between “low information believers” who follow mainstream or alternative news and “informed non-believers” who use skepticism as a mental immune system.Quote: “Informed disbelief the skeptics view and we're not even talking agnosticism we're talking about Gnosticism knowing as much as we possibly can about something as opposed to low information accepting it.”Trump as a Scripted Archetype: Donald Trump is analyzed not just as a politician but as a solar “divine sun king” or “Apollyon” archetype, with his career mirroring predictive programming themes of time travel and assassination.Quote: “The Christification of Trump, the martyrdom of Trump goes deep... the overlapping of the filming of Joker and the Trump on trial really stood out to me as more than coincidence.”Critique of Gematria: The use of “number magic” by atheists to decode the news is described as a Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy that manufactures intricate but fake connections.Quote: “The conspiracy theorists who use number magic are applying the same system but they're doing it to the news... connections that they make, which are fake, are so intricate and statistically just impossible.”
Right then… he quit being a chef for this - but was it the right move?This week on Clive's Little Bit Extra, we're getting stuck into the story of career switcher Ed Harris, who swapped the kitchen for the construction site… and what it's really like starting from scratch in the trades.

Word of mouth is the absolute best way to support any creative endeavor. Spring is a good time to think about what we plant — literally and figuratively. The Celtic lands we love were shaped by people who understood that the earth gives back what you put into it. This week's tip is simple. Go native. If you're planting anything this spring — flowers, shrubs, anything — choose native plants. They support local pollinators, use less water, and need far less maintenance. One trip to a native plant nursery can do more good than you'd expect. Walk outside. Pick up one piece of trash. Plant something that belongs. The same spirit that carries Celtic music forward, community, resilience, love of the land, is the same spirit that keeps this planet alive. Let's carry that forward.

Tim Cannon emailed: "Marc, Thanks for doing what you do, and for doing for so long! Please bear with me... I'm old enough to remember the days when stereo's would hold multiple CD's and there was a setting to shuffle between the CD's. Do you know of an App that does something like this? I imagine that I would store my albums on my device and in the app choose which ones are available for the shuffle. I use pandora and spotify, but would prefer something that better supports the artists." Jeffrey Alexander messaged on Facebook: "Is the iPhone app dead?? If so what is the best way to listen now?" I replied: Patreon app. I don't know if you're a subscriber, but it works great for this app. And gets you involved with the community. It works well even if you just follow the show there. Overcast. Tho I've been listening to a lot more shows on Patreon. This is my favorite Podcatcher. It's iPhone only. Has cool features if you're not listening to music apps. Apple Podcasts. Still a good podcatcher. Daniel Faigin replied to the comments in #748: "I just wanted to applaud what you said to the fellow who made the "libtard" comment in Ep 748. Folk music and celtic music has always spoken truth to power, and our current leadership needs to hear the truth. This listener supports what you said. You might lose some listeners, but hopefully you will gain a lot more from the folkies and celtic music fans that agree with you. If there had been a one - time donation button on the site or the patreon, I would have used it. Instead, I'll just continue to support the great artists you find." He followed up with this short email: "When I shared what you said with my wife, she said: "You've been listening long enough". So I signed up at the lowest level - - less for the perks, and more to support your effort." Thank you Daniel. Yes. I definitely lost followers for my political shows these past couple months. And you are right, there is outrage from the continued injustices by the current administration. So much so that the NO KINGS protests continue to peacefully grow. There are three ways that we can make true change, especially with a government that is complicit in supporting the illegal actions of our president. Vote them out. Make your voice heard in November. Support small, local indie businesses. It's always good to support your local community. But most of these businesses not only need your support more than some giant corporation, but they also aren't supporting a government actively breaking laws and hurting people. Speak up. Publicly. At rallies and protests. Online. And especially by contacting your representatives. It feels futile. But it's not. Your voice matters. You also mentioned making a one - time donation. I don't have a regular way of sharing the URL, but if you go to https://bestcelticmusic.net/donate/ , then you make a one - off donation. But your regular support on Patreon means everything. So thank you!

Moviewallas is on YouTube! Welcome back to Moviewallas, your weekly dose of film reviews, movie news, and general banter – in theatres, on streaming, or in the back of an airplane. This week, Joe, Rashmi, and Yazdi take on two very different movies: the darkly comedic How to Make a Killing and the hugely anticipated, surprisingly emotional Project Hail Mary. Tea check: No new snacks this time – just a fresh round of tea, a little British supermarket hierarchy, and enough energy to power one very enthusiastic space-movie conversation. ⸻ Streaming Picks – “I Can't Find Anything to Watch…” Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model – Netflix Rashmi revisits the world of America's Next Top Model through this docuseries, and the group reflects on how wildly our perspective on reality TV, exploitation, and “empowerment” has changed over the last 20 years. Crazy, Stupid, Love – Netflix Yazdi goes with this slick, star-packed romantic dramedy starring Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell, Emma Stone, Julianne Moore, Marisa Tomei, Kevin Bacon, and Josh Groban. Contrived? Sure. Still a fun watch? Also yes. Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man – Netflix (coming March 20) Joe makes a rare future-facing pick, getting excited for the return of Tommy Shelby and the Peaky Blinders universe. Here's hoping the movie has a story worthy of the comeback. How to Make a Killing John Patton Ford follows up Emily the Criminal with this dark comedy about inheritance, murder, and family dysfunction. Starring Glen Powell, Margaret Qualley, and Ed Harris, the film gave the hosts plenty to chew on. Project Hail Mary This one gets a full-throated reaction. Based on the Andy Weir novel and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, Project Hail Mary stars Ryan Gosling as a man waking up alone on a spaceship with Earth's future in his hands. Joe and Yazdi came in with serious affection for the book – and plenty of fear about how hard it would be to adapt – while Rashmi went in fresh. The result? A big, emotional, funny, visually inventive sci-fi movie that gave all three hosts a lot to talk about. ⸻ Like, comment, and subscribe if you enjoy spoiler-light movie conversations with strong opinions, good humor, and the occasional tea-fueled tangent.

How to Make a Killing is a 2026 American black comedy thriller film written and directed by John Patton Ford, loosely inspired by the 1949 British film Kind Hearts and Coronets by Robert Hamer and John Dighton. Glen Powell stars along with Margaret Qualley, Jessica Henwick, Bill Camp, Zach Woods, Topher Grace, and Ed Harris in the supporting cast.How to Make a Killing was released in the United States by A24 on February 20, 2026, and was released in the United Kingdom by StudioCanal on 11 March 2026, and in France on March 25, 2026. The film received mixed reviews from critics. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
One day after the 2026 Academy Awards and right smack in the middle of Oscar Month is the one that won its own 4 trophies 25 years ago. A Beautiful Mind is a touching love story about a real-life paranoid schizophrenic: Nobel-Prize winner John Nash (and his put-upon wife Alicia). Ron Howard & his team play fast and very loose with the facts, including how Nash's condition manifested AND casting Jennifer Connelly as Nash's Hispanic wife. Still, though, Russell Crowe is dynamite as our main man and the supporting performances by Ed Harris, Paul Bettany & Christopher Plummer are terrific. And Howard does well to make a movie about math, but doesn't overload us with it. So laugh at yourself and also about the need for fluid exchange while trying to tune out the voices in your head as this 725th edition of Have You Ever Seen jabbers about A Beautiful Mind. Note: the second movie in the episode on March 23rd will actually be Cimarron, not Dodsworth (which I'll cover on March 27th instead). Don't worry about the Red Scare or those sneaky Communists. Just calmly share your opinion about this movie (and others) with an email (haveyoueverseenpodcast@gmail.com) or a tweet (@moviefiend51) or a Sky (ryan-ellis). Subscribe to this channel and you won't miss one of those patented extra Friday shows (or the Oscars Post-View probably coming later today), then dash off a review and a rating in your app.
This episode's movie, “How To Make A Killing”, is about the have a lots, and I mean a lot, vs. the have nots, primarily a have not named Beckett Redfellow played by Glen Powell. He is the son of the heiress to the $28 billion dollar Redfellow family fortune. However, his mother had him out of wedlock and was disowned by the family, but her and her son are still in line for the fortune. Beckett also has a sort of puppy love romance with a girl, Julia, when they're both still kids. Fast forward to present day and adult Beckett is grinding out a meager living and he gets a visit from Julia (Margaret Qualley) at his work being a modest suit salesman. He's still into her, but she's getting married, but she still makes a off-handed joke that he should call her after he's killed off the family members in front of him in the line for the family fortune. That gets Beckett thinking and soon after our plot is off and running. Is it worth going to the theater to learn what happens next? Find out in this episode of Movies Merica! “How To Make A Killing” also stars Jessica Henwick, Adrian Lukis, Zach Woods, Bill Camp, Topher Grace, Raff Law, Nell Williams, Bianca Amato and Ed Harris.

Is it a "sophomore slump" for director John Patton Ford, or a modern dark-comedy masterpiece? This week we're breaking down the new A24 thriller How To Make A Killing. We dive into Glen Powell's performance as the disowned heir Becket Redfellow and debate if his quest to "prune the family tree" is a stroke of genius or just a messy execution. Grab a glass as we discuss the star-studded supporting cast (Ed Harris! Margaret Qualley! Zach Woods!) and decide if this "eat the rich" satire leaves a good aftertaste or if it's just a cheap shot.
Glenn Powell (Top Gun Maverick, Twisters, Anyone But You) plays Beckett Redfellow, the apparent eventual heir of a multi-billion dollar fortune from the Long Island-based Redfellow clan.....only he's the eighth in line after his late mother was pushed out of the family right before he was born. So inspired by the sudden reappearance of Julia (Margaret Qualley) a seductive socialist he has had a crush on since childhood, he decides to embark on a unique mission to move up closer to that inheritance by murdering everyone else in the Redfellow clan one-by-one. The Redfellow family members who are his targets are played by Ed Harris, Zach Woods, Bill Camp, and Topher Grace among others. Directed by John Patton Ford (Emily the Criminal), let's find out exactly HOW Beckett lives up to the title of this film.

This podcast episode delves into the complexities and intricacies of James Cameron's film, "The Abyss," a cinematic endeavor that profoundly explores the themes of human endurance and the inherent dangers of deep-sea exploration. We commence by emphasizing the significant aspects of pressurization and the meticulous nature of the film's underwater environment, which serves as a backdrop for the narrative's unfolding tension. The discussion navigates through the emotional depth of the characters, particularly highlighting the performances of Ed Harris and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, whose portrayals evoke a visceral response in the viewer. We critically analyze the film's latter segments, where the introduction of an alien element arguably detracts from the foundational human drama established earlier in the story. Ultimately, we reflect on the film's lasting impact, acknowledging its merits while lamenting the complications introduced by its more fantastical elements.Support us:https://www.patreon.com/whatsourverdictEmail us:hosts@whatsourverdict.comFollow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatsourverdictTwitter: @whatsourverdictInstagram: @whatsourverdictYouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UC-K_E-ofs3b85BnoU4R6liAVisit us:www.whatsourverdict.com

How to Make a Killing channels a 77-year-old Alec Guinness film with its story about a disowned heir who looks to knock-off his rival family members. Ashley & Matt review the new movie in this episode.
For this week's main podcast review, Katie Johnson, Megan Lachinski, and Ben Langford join me to discuss the latest film from John Patton Ford, "How To Make A Killing," starring Glen Powell, Margaret Qualley, Jessica Henwick, Bill Camp, Zach Woods, Topher Grace & Ed Harris. Loosely inspired by the 1949 British film "Kind Hearts and Coronets" by Robert Hamer and John Dighton, the film tells the fictional story of Becket Redfellow, disowned at birth by his wealthy family, who will stop at nothing (not even murder) to reclaim his inheritance from his many relatives who stand in his way. What did we think of it? Tune in as we discuss the story, its narrative structure, themes, Glen Powell's on-screen magnetism and voice-over narration, the supporting performances from the eclectic cast, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.

"How To Make A Killing" is a black comedy thriller film written and directed by John Patton Ford. Following his Sundance directorial debut feature film "Emily The Criminal," Ford gathered the talents of Glen Powell, Margaret Qualley, Jessica Henwick, Bill Camp, Zach Woods, Topher Grace, and Ed Harris to bring his loosely inspired contemporary version of the 1949 British film "Kind Hearts and Coronets" to the big screen. It wasn't always the easiest process (when is making a movie ever easy?), and Ford was kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about his experience and work on the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from A24. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

For their 151st episode of Fear and Loathing in Cinema Podcast, the gang ups the ante, literally, with Malibu 151 and revisits 1994's Milk Money, that improbable artifact in which Melanie Griffith and Ed Harris (in one of his rare turns as a gentle, flustered dad rather than a granite-faced authority figure) anchor a plot that hinges on middle-school boys pooling allowance money to hire a sex worker for research purposes. Yes, that one. It was the nineties. We were unsupervised. The post Episode #151 – Milk Money (1994) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.
In this episode, we review the new Disney+ live-action superhero miniseries from Marvel Studios, Wonder Man, starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Ben Kingsley, and Ed Harris. We discuss whether this new MCU character is someone we will look forward to seeing in future shows and films, and we debate whether Marvel is moving in the right direction with its investment in scripted television.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The 90s were full of high-octane, over-the-top action flicks, and one of the most memorable was THE ROCK. Starring Nicolas Cage, Ed Harris & Sean "Slap Her" Connery. We remember this one being a fast-paced, testosterone-fueled, take-no-prisoners flick from start to finish, and we can't wait to watch it again. You can't argue that the 90s weren't stylized, but did they lack substance? We couldn't care less if stuff blows up real good, and with Michael Bay behind the camera, we're almost positive stuff blows up just fine.
[School of Movies 2026] Truman Burbank lives a charmed existance, residing on a little island town that is distinctly old fashioned and twee. In reality, Truman's every movement is being broadcast to the viewing planet, and has been since his infancy. But Truman is beginning to suspect something is up, and his unseen father figure Christoph (compellingly played by Ed Harris) is working hard to restore the show to its comforting routine. A surprisingly abiding dramatic sci-fi classic from the late 90s and one of Jim Carrey's finest (and least irritating) performances. This movie is somehow more relevant today in the era of parasocial fixation on people who broadcast their lives all day and night, than it was in the late 90s when this wasn't possible. And welcome back to the show, Ryan Estrada, our man in South Korea who has a special attachment to this multilayered film: www.ryanestrada.com Guest: Ryan Estrada Next Week: The Shawshank Redemption
The Truman Show (1998) starring Jim Carrey is one of the most prophetic films ever made. In this episode of Mostly Superheroes, Logan Janis revisits the film for the 20+ time, breaks down why it still hits harder than ever in the age of reality TV and social media, and shares myth-busting insights from screenwriter Andrew Niccol via the British Film Institute. We start spoiler-free, then dive deep into themes, performances, production secrets, and why this movie feels even more relevant today.
The veteran actress, who was Oscar-nominated 40 years ago for 'Twice in a Lifetime,' reflects on how her music ambitions gave way to acting, how she met — and her many collaborations with — her husband Ed Harris, her memories of working on classics like 'The Day After,' 'Field of Dreams' and 'Uncle Buck,' and how she wound up giving one of the performances of her career as Gladys, a crazy aunt, in Zach Cregger's acclaimed blockbuster horror film.
