This week on Myopia Movies, we revisit the best version of Robin Hood since Erroll Flynn, you heard me Crowe, Costner, and Edgerton. Elwes, you're cool. We watched Robin Hood (1973), the originination point for Gen X and Millenial furries. How will Robin Hood (1973) hold up? Host: Nic (but much younger sounding). Directed by Wolfgang Reitherman and David Hand Starring: Brian Bedford, Phil Harris, Roger Miller, Peter Ustinov, Terry-Thomas, Monica Evans, Andy Devine, Carole Shelley, Pat Buttram, George Lindsey, Ken Curtis

The Rocketeer. Maybe you've seen it. Maybe you haven't. If you're of a particular generation, particularly of an age that had their brains absolutely melted by Tim Burton's Batman movie in 1989 (which we have an episode on the way about), then The Rocketeer was one of a slate of summer movies that hoped to replicate the runaway success of Batman. For some folks, it sure did. For others…notably the general ticket buying public, it fell a little short.But The Rocketeer is a truly wonderful movie that has accumulated a deserved cult following over the years. Its central concept is simple enough: stunt pilot Cliff Secord accidentally stumbles on to a prototype rocket pack being developed for possible military use. The only problem is that Nazi spies want to get their hands on it. All poor Cliff wants to do is impress his girlfriend. Adventure (and hijinx) ensue on schedule.Full of spectacular practical effects flight sequences, The Rocketeer, like the Indiana Jones or Star Wars franchises before it, is a wonderful homage to the movie serials of the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. Part of its appeal is the simplicity of that “solo flight via jetpack” concept, and it's one that has a fair amount of basis in real history and science! So join us as we take a deeper look at The Rocketeer to determine if Cliff, well…you know!Watch the latest episode of Does it Fly? right here or check it out on our YouTube page!SUGGESTED VIEWING Folks, if you haven't seen The Rocketeer, do yourself a favor. It's available on Disney+ and it's a delightful, nostalgic, family-friendly, action-packed romp that is a little similar in tone to the Indiana Jones franchise. No sequels or big franchises here, but that's part of the charm.However, that doesn't mean there isn't cool Rocketeer-adjacent stuff for you to check out! Joe Johnston is an underrated director and we'd humbly recommend Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (hmmm…a potential future Does it Fly? episode, perhaps?), Jumanji, The Wolfman (a terrific horror movie that's due for re-evaluation), and Captain America: The First Avenger.But for those looking to dig even deeper, the Rocketeer concept was inspired by the movie serials of the 1930s, ‘40s, and early ‘50s, specifically Republic Pictures' excellent King of the Rocket Men (1949), Commando Cody: Sky Marshal of the Universe (1952), and Zombies of the Stratosphere (1953). Movie serials might be tough for modern audiences to digest, but all three of these feature terrific stunts and outstanding wire and model work to simulate flight, and it's very clear how they influenced the creation of the Rocketeer character and the style of the movie.

Hero of AlexandriaWhile this also sounds like a movie title, it isn't. Check out a breakdown of his accomplishments, some of which were years, even centuries, ahead of their time.Rocket Concepts in 1861?!?Hakeem is referring to the work of Reverend William Leitch, who wrote an essay called A Journey Through Space which correctly predicted a number of spaceflight principles. Again, we're talking about 1861. You can read that essay in full here.The Bell Rocket Belt100 years after Reverend Leitch, someone did actually build a working prototype of something called a Rocket Belt. Lots more info on that, as well as some remarkable photographs, can be found here. The Nazis had been working on a concept during World War II, as well.Newton's Laws of MotionYou ain't flying without adhering to these rules, which are thankfully broken down in easy-to-understand language right here.Erroll Flynn Did a Lot of Things, But Not THATAdventure movie leading man Erroll Flynn lived, well, let's just say he lived an interesting life. But one thing he wasn't? A Nazi spy. We suspect that urban legend began with a particular biographer, and some details on that are here.The Practical Effects of The RocketeerThe interview Tamara references with Rocketeer's VFX artist Tom St. Amand can be found here, and it's every bit as fascinating as she says!WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?Want more retro adventures with a Does it Fly? twist?

Para este último especial de la temporada veraniega hemos pedido a Jack Bourbon que elija a sus cuatro actores favoritos del Hollywood clásico. Aunque asegura que podía haber elegido otros como James Stewart, Cary Grant o Humphrey Bogart se ha decantado finalmente por cuatro gigantes que sin duda tienen su lugar de honor en el Olimpo cinematográfico: Gary Cooper, el hombre que mejor encarnó al americano honesto; Erroll Flynn el aventurero por excelencia del cine clásico; Burt Lancaster, un actor que firmó grandes interpretaciones en toda clase de géneros; y Clark Gable, uno de los grandes galanes de la historia del cine.
Russell Crowe, Kevin Costner, Erroll Flynn and Sean Connery are just a few of the actors who have performed as Robin Hood on the big screen. But who was this legendary English outlaw, whose name continues to be recognised worldwide centuries later? Helping us to understand the story of Robin Hood and his connection to English Heritage sites you can visit today are our two guests: English Heritage senior properties historian Dr Michael Carter and professor of late medieval and Reformation history at the University of Liverpool, Dr Martin Heale.

Well look at this. A true two-part episode of our conversation with the children of comedian/dancer Harry Ritz of The Ritz Brothers, Janna Taninbaum and Michael Ritz. And we really have to thank them. True troopers, they dealt with some major technical issues on our end and the occasional Zoom lag for a second sit down, two days after our original conversation. Lots to unpack here – from anti-Semitism faced by Harry to out of this world gambling stories to the Catskills to what made the funniest of them all, laugh. So set your internal clocks back a decade or two, sit back and listen to Janna and Michael wax philosophical about race horses owned by Betty Grable, the previously unknown Tupelo Brothers, life in Las Vegas in the seventies and some racy behavior from Don Rickles and a telescope & Betty Grable's aversion to toilet seats. Ahem! If names like Jan Murray, Tyrone Power and Erroll Flynn thrill you, take a listen, to this episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast.

This week, we welcome Meagan Logsdon back to discuss C.S. Lewis' final novel, Till We Have Faces, Chapters 16 and 17. Among other topics, we cover: Orual's veil and vulnerability Did Orual sacrifice Psyche just a bit more than King Trom? Orual as Lewis' most well-drawn character (contrasted with others) Arnom: Fresh-faced young priest or radical assassin? Is Trunia more like Erroll Flynn or Wile E. Coyote? "Queening It": Vocation as fulfillment or distraction? How would we design a mini-Glome at Epcot? Transplanted Appendix: Some small talk about cicadas, birds, and other horrors (originally at the top of the show) has been moved to the end. Next week, we'll be talking about the "Prologue" of Charles Williams' Taliessin Through Logres. Then, in two weeks' time, we'll be discussing Till We Have Faces Chapters 18-19. It's duel time!
Todd is joined by Brian Eggert from Deep Focus Review to discuss Erroll Flynn in the 1942 boxing biopic Gentleman Jim.

Johan, C-G och Göran följer upp sin badpodd åt Svensk Filmdatabas med en djupdykning i en riktig sommarrulle - närmare bestämt den som gjorde C-G rädd (i alla fall ibland) för att ens bada i swimmingpool: Hajen! Vi har många frågor: Handlar filmen om vår egen tid, med odjuret i rollen som coronaviruset? Vilken av borgmästarens kavajer är skrikigast? Och är Hajen i själva verket en kvastfening? Förebådade den vår tids spektakelfilmer eller är den bara en gammaldags Erroll Flynn-matiné? Varning: Hitchcock-anekdoter, liksom uttryck som ”gammal sjöbjörn” och ”ompa-ompa”, kan förekomma. Bara att hugga in! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Erroll Flynn grew up in Dorchester, MA. After picking up alcohol as a young teenager, over the next two decades, Errol spiraled into a full-blown cocaine and heroin addiction. After attempting to get sober multiple times on his own terms, he then begged God for help. He then became willing to go to any lengths for sobriety. It was through God and the 12 steps of AA he was able to find a way out and through the pain and misery of addicted life. His present life would have been unimaginable a few short years ago. Errol loves to spread his message of hope, and show others that there is a way out!

Old Hollywood REALNESS - Join Kathleen Noll and Philip Estrada to gab, gush and recap the Warner Bros. Classic Western "Virginia City" (1940) starring Erroll Flynn, Miriam Hopkins, Randolph Scott, and Humphrey Bogart. Erroll Flynn stars as an escaped Union Soldier working to thwart Randolph Scott's Confederate gold smuggling plan. Directed by Michael Curtiz with Costumes by Orry-Kelly.
Michial Farmer talks with Nathan Gilmour and David Grubbs about the Robin Hood mythology and about three Robin Hood movies: Eroll Flynn's 1938 "Robin Hood," 1973's Disney "Robin Hood," and Kevin Costner's 1991 "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves."
En nästintill fulltalig Nördigt-panel - okej, inte riktigt - intar studion denna vecka och tar en titt på det nördigaste som hänt i spel- och filmväg den senaste veckan. Jonas, Niklas, Malin, Tove och Mats berättar först om exakt varför du bara måste åka till Comicon i år (spoiler: Nördigt live-panel!) och hur kul det var att delta i livestreamen Spelhjälpen, som i år drog in över 100.000 spänn till Ung Cancer. I postsäcken denna vecka hittar vi mail om allt från vilken konsol som egentligen är den bästa så här i övergångsåldern, till frågor om hur vi egentligen vet allt vi vet. Om det sistnämnda kan vi väl bara säga att vi inte vet. Malin har spelat Gears of War 4 och upptäckt ett lite mjukare, mer stämningsfullt Gears. Men ändå ett där motorsågsautomatkarbinerna får otaliga tillfällen att motorsåga sig igenom fiendehorderna. Vi hinner reagera lite på nyheten om att Red Dead Redemption 2 faktiskt är bekräftat också. Men givetvis inte till PC, till Mats stora förtret. I filmsektionen tar vi oss an den episkt betitlade Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, där Eva Green lever ut sina Groundhog Day-drömmar och Samuel L Jackson agerar komediskurk. Och givetvis har vi, eller åtminstone Niklas, kollat in heta The Girl With All The Gifts, om en zombiekatastrof där zombierna står i förgrunden? Och en snabbtitt på den nya trailern från Guardians of the Galaxy 2 leder till en utvikning om huruvida Disney aktivt uppmuntrar ett Erroll-Flynn-inspirerat pipskäggsmode eller inte. Med en sista filosoferande diskussions om Marvels cinematiska universum säger vi så adjö för denna vecka och längtar tills vi får träffa serieskaparen Kim W Andersson nästa gång! Tack & förlåt. Puss hej!
A startlingly good production for you here, all. It's our analysis of claims made by people who want the government to force people to give "equal pay" to men and women at the workplace. We look at the claims and at the ethics of getting the government involved in the so-called solution, and we also look at whether the accusations of unequal pay are actually correct, and upon what they are based... Listen... The meme is rising. Including some choice, delicious music by Midnight Oil "What Goes On", Shriekback "Glory Bumps", Gary Milhouse "At Peace" (see him play in Bath, England!), The Grassy Knoll "Unbelievable Truth" (observe how they use the first note of Hendrix's version of "Purple Haze"!), Sonic Youth "Bull in The Heather", The Catherine Wheel "Black Metallic", DMZ "Watch for Me Girl"!, Wild Cherry "Play That Funky Music", Girls Against Boys "In Like Flynn" (as in Erroll Flynn, baby...) DIG! Be Seeing You! ROCK ON. Keep fighting for liberty!
