Podcast appearances and mentions of Eric Bana

Send us a textThis week, our podcast shines the spotlight on the Female Protagonist, as we continue our "One Last Chance" theme.  And so, we watch the 2011 film about the young female assassin, "Hanna,"  who has one last chance to escape a ruthless intelligence agent trying to track her down across continents.  Starring Saoirse Ronan, Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett, this movie has the added bonus of a great score by the Chemical Brothers.We also take a deep dive into what we believe makes a great female protagonist, where writers can fall short, and what exactly a "Mary Sue" is.  So listen in, as we toss out our bras, pull on some pants and bust through the glass ceiling of average podcasts.  

Alex welcomes back Taylor Scott to the pod to review “F1: The Movie.” The guys discuss F1: The Sport, Brad Pitt, IMAX, favorite car racing movies, and more. Later, the two have a wide-open What Are You Watching segment, anchored by Ridley Scott's “Black Hawk Down.” Stray topics include Eric Bana, “Chopper,” favorite war movies, watching “Halloween” every week, watching “Dawson's Creek” with your teenage daughter, “28 Years Later,” “Severance,” and much more.Follow @WAYW_Podcast on Twitter and Instagram and Letterboxd.Send mailbag questions to whatareyouwatchingpodcast@gmail.com

Vanessa Cominsky joins Case and Sam to RAGE against this awkward historical epic! Overview Podcast hosts Case Aiken and Sam Alicea provide a framework for discussing the 2004 film Troy, highlighting its connection to early 2000s epic films like Gladiator and 300. Vanessa Cominsky, a guest and classics major, notes a 4-year professional bond with Case stemming from shared academic interests. David Benioff, the film's screenwriter, is discussed in relation to his later work on Game of Thrones and identified issues in narrative depth. Whitewashing criticism surfaces regarding the film's predominantly white cast, despite its story set in a historically diverse region. Analysis reveals a lack of clear passage of time, compressing the depicted 10-year Trojan War into a brief narrative span. Costume design receives praise for historical accuracy while the film's runtime discrepancies are critiqued, with the director's cut deemed excessive. Thematic exploration includes Agamemnon's characterization as a villain symbolizing US imperialism, contrasting with sympathetic portrayals of the Trojans. Sean Bean's potential as Odysseus is noted but criticized for underutilization, while Peter O'Toole's Priam provides limited but impactful performance. Improvement suggestions include altering the title to better reflect Achilles' journey and revising the narrative structure to enhance character development. Upcoming initiatives include a scholarship program for women in wine, launched by Vanessa Cominsky's nonprofit Vin Vitalite in 2025. @vminsky @womenofwinedc Www.vinVitalité.org (Pronounced vinn vitahlihtay) Notes ️ Podcast Introduction & Setup (00:00 - 02:45) Hosts Case Aiken and Sam Alicea introduce the 'Another Pass' podcast, discussing movie analysis and improvements. Guest Vanessa Cominsky introduced as Case's coworker from wine/spirits industry and fellow classics major. Discussion of 4-year professional relationship and bonding over classics background. Movie Context & Background (02:45 - 09:38) Analysis of 2004 film Troy as adaptation loosely based on oral tradition. Discussion of movie within context of early 2000s epic films including Gladiator, 300, and Lord of the Rings trilogy. David Benioff identified as screenwriter, connecting to later Game of Thrones writing style issues. Observation that Odysseus character tells audience he's clever but never demonstrates intelligence in actual scenes. Political interpretation: movie reflects 2004 centrist liberal perspective on Middle Eastern conflicts with 'support the troops' messaging. Film Production & Casting Analysis (09:38 - 19:22) Vanessa's personal connection: used movie for high school Latin convention project and senior thesis. Whitewashing criticism - movie depicts conflict between Greece and Middle East with entirely white cast. Brad Pitt as main marketing draw playing Achilles in peak popularity period. Case's viewing experience in Rome during classics trip, creating nostalgic connection to material. Story Structure & Adaptation Choices (19:22 - 28:32) Movie covers broader Trojan War story rather than just Iliad, including Trojan Horse sequence not in original epic. Brian Cox as Agamemnon praised as perfect casting choice despite whitewashing issues. Discussion of movie's approach to gods - humans take credit for actions rather than divine intervention. ️ Character Analysis - Heroes and Villains (28:32 - 38:14) Agamemnon positioned as main villain representing US imperialism, while Trojans portrayed sympathetically. Hector vs Achilles juxtaposition works well as respective champions of each side. Orlando Bloom as Paris criticized as too whiny and lacking roguish charm needed for character. Eric Bana as Hector praised as everyone's 'big brother' figure and moral center. Production Design & Technical Elements (38:14 - 47:42) Costume design highly praised for historical accuracy and visual distinction between Greeks and Trojans. Director's cut vs theatrical cut - director's cut too long at 3 hours 16 minutes with unnecessary gore. Runtime issues - theatrical cut feels rushed while director's cut is excessive. War Portrayal & Geographic Issues (47:43 - 56:37) Time compression problem - 10-year war feels like weeks or months with no passage of time indicated. Troy's geography poorly established - unclear city layout and siege logistics. Siege warfare portrayed as single-direction battle rather than comprehensive blockade. Thematic Elements & Religious Context (56:38 - 01:05:46) Gods' role minimized to hint at divine influence without direct intervention. Moral philosophy embedded in Achilles-Briseis conversations about mortality and divinity. Historical accuracy questioned regarding Bronze Age vs Classical Greek terminology and social structures. Casting and Performance Critique (01:05:46 - 01:15:32) Sean Bean as Odysseus underutilized despite perfect casting choice. Peter O'Toole as Priam noted as big casting choice but limited screen time. James Cosmo casting questioned as underused Trojan general. Improvement Proposals - Sam's Pitch (01:15:32 - 01:26:16) Title change to 'The Wrath of Achilles' to better reflect actual story focus. Sean Bean expansion - more scenes showing passage of time and war strategy. Runtime reduction - cut Trojan perspective to focus on Greek side and Achilles' journey. Narrative structure - use Odysseus as storyteller/narrator rather than voiceover. Improvement Proposals - Vanessa's Pitch (01:26:16 - 01:36:20) Scope change to focus on Achilles from moment Odysseus recruits him. Character development - establish Greek power structure and vassal relationships. Agamemnon characterization - emphasize him as villain representing imperialism more clearly. Improvement Proposals - Casey's Pitch (01:36:20 - 01:45:13) Geographic clarity - establish Troy's layout and siege positioning with additional CG shots. Time passage - visual indicators and dialogue establishing years-long conflict. Battle variety - different environments including sea battles and raids on surrounding areas. Violence balance - between theatrical cut's sanitization and director's cut's excess. Final Discussion & Wrap-up (01:45:13 - 02:05:58) David Benioff background revealed as Goldman Sachs executive's son, explaining Hollywood access. Vanessa's organization - Vin Vitalite, DC women in wine industry nonprofit with 501(c)(3) status. Scholarship program launching 2025 for women in wine industry.

On the surface, shooting celebrities or high-profile athletes seems like a golden ticket to a stronger portfolio. But here's the truth: it's not the name—it's the image. In this episode, I break down the myth that photographing celebrities or athletes will instantly elevate your brand. I share stories from my own career—including a high-caliber shoot with first-round NFL draft pick Beanie Wells, and a less-than-stellar session with actors Eric Bana and Joel McHale—and explain why editors don't care who is in your photo if the quality isn't there. You'll also learn what photo editors have told me directly during portfolio reviews, and the one situation where working with athletes does give you an edge. What You'll Learn: Why name recognition alone won't help your photography career The real reasons some celebrity shots don't make the cut How to evaluate whether an image actually belongs in your portfolio What working with athletes can teach you about professionalism and production under pressure Why you must separate experience from presentation when curating your book Key Takeaways: A weak image of a celebrity is still a weak image. Your portfolio is judged by quality, not notoriety. Shooting athletes builds credibility behind the scenes—not necessarily in your visuals. Every photo in your book needs to serve a purpose and reflect your highest standard.

Posting a podcast about Munich on Easter Weekend wasn't a deliberately provocative choice. Posting this mostly-effective "you'll pay for that" procedural during Revenge Month WAS intentional. Episode #659 of Have You Ever Seen is a Ryan monologue about Palestinian terrorists kidnapping and then assassinating Jewish athletes at the 1972 Olympics...and then the Israelis siccing a hit squad on those who planned it. Upbeat blockbuster filmmaker Steven Spielberg isn't squeamish about showing viciousness and bloodshed when he makes an Important Movie. Trouble is, he gets so heavy-handed in the last half-hour, as Eric Bana struggles with the moral ramifications (and blowback) after what he & his team have done. A pre-stardom Daniel Craig is part of that team, as are Geoffrey Rush & Ciaran Hinds. There's no quibble with their performances. It's just the 9/11 parallels and the politics of the unending conflict in the Middle East that repeatedly smack you in the face. In any case, there's much to discuss about what Black September did (not so much the PLO by the way, but that specific terrorist group) and then what the Jewish hit squad did as payback.

We return to Wolfgang Petersen's Troy: Director's Cut 20 years after its initial release and discover a film that's aged surprisingly well. Featuring an incredible cast including Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, Peter O'Toole, Sean Bean, Brian Cox, Brendan Gleeson, and Orlando Bloom, Troy is carried by the actors' strong performances. While not strictly true to the Iliad, Troy's daring attempt to place the Trojan War on film deserves praise, as do the incredible combat and battle sequences. While the quality is incredibly uneven and varies scene-to-scene, our hosts are willing to cope with the awful Achilles-Briseis romantic arc to enjoy the well-told stories of Hector and Priam.

A lonely woman recounts her life story to one of her snails in this unique stop motion film. Ryan joins us to discuss the new(ish) movie, Memoir of a Snail.

Actor Eric Bana returns for mystery-thriller sequel to 'The Dry' Eric Bana is known for his comedy. The Australian actor began his career with the sketch comedy series ‘Full Frontal', but he began his acting career playing Con in the 1997 film ‘The Castle.' In 2020, he starred in an Australian mystery drama thriller film, playing the role of Aaron Falk in ‘The Dry', based on Jane Harper's book of the same name. Four years later, the detective has returned for the sequel ‘Force of Nature', with Bana reprising the role. He told Newstalk ZB's Francesca Rudkin that slipping back into the role felt a bit like cheating, having never reprised a role before. “I'm so used to having to, you know, do a lot of prep for a character.” ‘The Dry' was a hit upon its release, but Bana said they were uncertain whether the franchise would continue. “We looked at the next book for Aaron Falk and thought, well it's not enough just to, you know, is it, is the premise enough?” “Can we justify making a big screen version of it?” Clearly, with the movie releasing earlier this week, the premise had enough meat on its bones that they managed to justify its creation, and so off into the Australian bush in the middle of winter they went. The film was shot in a couple of locations around Australia, Bana revealed, with scenes shot in the Dandenong Ranges, the Yarra Valley, the Latrobe Valley, and out near the Otways National Park being stitched together. “It's funny because the cabin that we used for the retreat is privately owned, and we joked at the fact that people were going to go and say there and want to walk down to the waterfall. It's about a four-hour drive away.” Being out in the wilderness and on location is Bana's preferred method of shooting, telling Francesca that he doesn't like shooting in a studio, and so he rarely does it. “I feel like it's a more level playing field when you're using natural light as an actor.” “You know how long the day is going to be, there's a real, natural ticking clock.” The downside to filming on location, however, was the weather. Filming in the middle of winter is unpleasant at the best of times, but doubly so when you're hiking out into remote areas of the bush. “It was pretty brutal.” Showcasing Australia on an international scale is quite important to Bana, telling Francesca that sometimes it feels like Kiwis and Australians are good enough for our talent to be poached internationally, but they're never allowed to sound like they're from there. “It's really important when you make products from your home, that's an original story that can travel, it's great because that's how people see and hear us, hear our stories and hear who we are.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode, Andrew catches up with Academy Award winning master of stop motion animation, Adam Elliot, and Emmy award and AACTA award winning screen legend, Sarah Snook, to talk about their mollusk-motion flick, Memoir of a Snail.Memoir of a Snail is driven by the delightfully dark sense of comedy and a relatable pathos, both of which bring the off-kilter world of Grace Pudel (Sarah Snook) and her equally orphaned twin brother Gilbert (Kodi Smit-McPhee) to life. It's a film that's resonated immensely with audiences around the world, with each person able to find a little bit of themselves in this tender tale of Grace and her obsession with snails.As always, Elliot is able to bring forth a welcome sense of groundedness to his characters, and while they may physically appear eccentric, there's something about each and every one of them that makes us feel seen. As with his previous film, Mary & Max, Elliot actively removes stigmas associated with those who live with mental illnesses, while also shining a light on those who try to vilify, condemn, or in the case of Gilbert, cruelly convert them away from their true self.The authenticity that sits at the core of Memoir of a Snail is not just driven by the characters we see on screen, but also from the empathetic and grounded voice work from Snook, Smit-McPhee, and other Aussie screen icons like Jackie Weaver, Magda Szubanski, Tony Armstrong, Eric Bana, while French icon Dominique Pinon also makes an appearance.In the following conversations with Adam, then with Sarah, I talk about how they both built that relatability on screen, what it means to show Australian stories in this way, and curiously, the importance of dress up boxes in the homes of Australian kids. There's really something for everyone here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this weeks episode of the world's-fastest-movie-review podcast Jackson and Mike review TWO new films!!! First “MEMOIR OF A SNAIL”.  A bittersweet memoir of a melancholic woman called Grace Pudel - a hoarder of snails, romance novels, and guinea-pigs. Starring Sarah Snook, Kodi Smit-McPhee and Eric Bana. Then a quick review of “GLADIATOR II”. After his home is conquered by the tyrannical emperors who now lead Rome, Lucius is forced to enter the Colosseum and must look to his past to find strength to return the glory of Rome to its peoples. Starring Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal and Denzel Washington.

Not too long ago, Brad Pitt and Eric Bana starred in a (loose) adaptation of Homer's epic poem The Iliad; next month, Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche will headline a film based on The Odyssey. Given that the originals were written (or at least written down) in the 8th century BCE, that is some impressive staying power. But they were also written in a very different time than ours, with different cultural context and narrative expectations. We talk about the issues of translation in general, and these Greek classics in particular, with Emily Wilson, whose recent translations of The Iliad and The Odyssey have garnered worldwide acclaim.Support Mindscape on Patreon.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2024/11/25/297-emily-wilson-on-homer-poetry-and-translation/Emily Wilson received her Ph.D. in classical and comparative literature from Yale.

Late Nights at Blockbuster Our latest Late Nights at Blockbuster is on the 20th anniversary of Troy. Brad Pitt doesn't say great things about this movie and sometimes we don't either. We talk plenty about the nonsense that Priam participated in to further the plot of this movie. Sorry if you are an Eric Bana apologist, we don't go in on him but we gift him one of our awards that you don't want. We have the same Orlando Bloom conversation that we have every time he shows up in a movie. We're sorry, we realized it as we were finishing it, we're moving on and we'll do better next time.  Intro/Outro music by friend of the podcast Seth Gilbertson.

The Back To The Blockbuster team looks back at the epic historical war film, Troy, for its 20th anniversary. Directed by Wolfgang Petersen and written by David Benioff, the film is loosely based on Homer's Iliad in its narration of the entire story of the decade-long Trojan War. Starring Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom, Sean Bean, Brian Cox, Brendan Gleeson, Diane Kruger, and Peter O'Toole, follows Achilles as he leads his Myrmidons along with the rest of the Greek army invading the historical city of Troy, defended by Hector's Trojan Army. The team then wraps things up with box office results for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and box office predictions for The Strangers: Chapter 1.

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. And sometimes if we're lucky we talk to movie stars about their B-Sides! Today we talk to the great Eric Bana about Eric Bana B-Sides on the occasion of the release of his new film, Force of Nature: The Dry 2, now available in theaters and on VOD. Our B-Sides today include: Lucky You, Romulus, My Father, and The Secret Scripture. Bana discusses why Lucky You maybe didn't connect with audiences in 2007, how Romulus, My Father is actually quite the A-Side in Australia, and the need to be malleable when working with somebody like director Jim Sheridan. We also talk about Bana's detective influences for the Aaron Falk character in The Dry films, why Munich was strangely received upon release, and why his performance in Roland Joffé's The Forgiven (co-starring Forest Whitaker as Desmond Tutu) is one of his favorites in his career. Special shout-out to good friend Mitchell Beaupre's great interview with Bana earlier this year, which is referenced quite a bit here.

This week there's a music documentary, an eco-fable set in Japan, and Dave's favorite cinematic subgenre: Australian detective stories starring Eric Bana! To start things, Dave fills Megan and Evan in on Michael Lindsay-Hogg's remastered LET IT BE, which crawled so Peter Jackson's GET BACK could fuggin' sprint. Megan watched EVIL DOES NOT EXIST, said eco-fable, which focuses on a village near Tokyo and a clamping site being developed nearby. This is Ryusuke Hamaguchi's follow-up to the much-lauded DRIVE MY CAR. Finally, everyone saw FORCE OF NATURE: THE DRY 2, which features Bana reprising the role of Aaron Falk from THE DRY. (Aside: (Dave and Evan's alternate title: THE WET, as this story is set almost entirely in a rain forest.) Of course, Dave can't resist doing his bad Australian accent and giggling uncontrollably. But is THE DRY 2 good? We let you know! Over on Patreon we talk about the 1979 comedy THE FRISCO KID starring Gene Wilder and Harrison Ford.

Today on the show: Michael Seiden from WSB-TV on a massive strip club heist in Atlanta. Michelle Wright updating a horrible story in Gwinnett. Steven Portnoy from ABC News explains an indefinite delay in the Trump classified docs case. Plus, actor Eric Bana joins us live! 9am-noon on 95.5 WSB.

This week, our Queensland/Victoria bloke Dave says g'day, cracks open some tinnies and Tim Tams, and takes us to the Melbourne Bojangles as seen in ‘Chopper', our featured conversation for our ‘Films of 2000' segment. We'll give you some context, we'll talk about where Eric Bana rose in Australian television before Hollywood saw this film and begged him to get shredded and work on American and British accents. Writer/Director Andrew Dominik (Blonde, Killing Them Softly, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford) lived with Mark “Chopper” Reade to prepare the script for filming, and holy cow. We also gripe about youth sports. Grab some Cutter beer and listen to our convo!
