Podcast appearances and mentions of Ethan Hawke

There’s a lot to enjoy about The Weight: the tactile 1930s Oregon setting, strong performances from Ethan Hawke and Russell Crowe, a premise that allows for multiple suspense sequences. But Padraic McKinley’s directorial debut is arguably lacking in thematic heft and visceral grit, particularly when compared to the other film in this pairing. So after considering how The Weight succeeds and struggles on its own terms, we bring William Friedkin’s 1977 cult classic Sorcerer back in to consider how these two films about desperate men given a deadly opportunity differ in their approach to flawed protagonists, bridge-based action scenes, and lone female characters of consequence, and the one plot hole they have in common. Then our returning guest, Vulture critic Roxana Hadadi, offers a Your Next Picture Show recommendation for another 2026 film involving the transportation of dangerous cargo, The Rivals of Amziah King. Please share your thoughts about Sorcerer, The Weight, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

This week's episode of The Interviews is all about editors-turned-directors. First, we have an extended interview between Chris Hewitt and David Kittredge, the director behind the excellent documentary, Boorman And The Devil, which chronicles the wild making of John Boorman's legendary-for-all-the-wrong-reasons sequel, Exorcist II: The Heretic, and even rehabilitates the film's reputation somewhat. That film is in cinemas right now. After that, Jamie Graham has a fun chat with Padraic McKinley about his debut film, the gritty Ethan Hawke period thriller The Weight, which is out in cinemas this Friday. Enjoy!

"You've got to manage both sides. You're the captain of the ship. You let the playful side talk and then you get it organized and manage it. People are dominant on one side or the other, and either side can be very bad if you go to the extreme." — Kim KrizanRecapKim Krizan co-wrote Before Sunrise, one of the most beloved films of the nineties, without ever having read a script before. She'd been cast by Richard Linklater in Slacker, he read her master's thesis, and said "let's write something." That's how a boy-meets-girl story set over a single evening in Vienna became an Academy Award-nominated trilogy and a touchstone for anyone who believes a conversation can be the whole movie.In this episode, Kim and Rain dig into the craft and philosophy behind that kind of storytelling—dialogue-driven, emotionally subtle, built on psychology rather than plot. They talk about how to balance the two sides of every storyteller's brain, how to collaborate without losing yourself, what regional and cultural differences reveal about how people approach story, and why the real payoff of writing has nothing to do with awards or attention.Kim also reflects on the Before Sunrise trilogy's unexpected life and what it felt like to be the writer in a medium that doesn't always remember there is one.This one is personal for Rain, as hee's directing his own dialogue-driven feature this fall, and it shows. One of the most intimate and honest conversations in the show's run.Key TakeawaysIn this episode, you will learn to:Balance the wild creative side and the disciplined structured side of your brain rather than surrendering to one extremeSilence the inner critic early in your process so your subconscious can do the work it was built to doWrite dialogue-heavy stories that hold an audience by building intimacy and escalating psychological stakes over timeApproach creative collaboration as a negotiation — knowing which hills are worth dying on and which ones to releaseWrite because your soul needs it, not because you want recognition — and understand why that distinction changes everything about the workLinks & ResourcesFollow Kim Krizan:Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/kimkrizanFilms → Before Sunrise (1995) — co-written by Kim Krizan and Richard LinklaterFilms → Before Sunset (2004) — Academy Award nominated — co-written by Kim Krizan, Richard Linklater, Ethan Hawke and Julie DelpyFilms → Slacker (1991) — directed by Richard LinklaterFilms → Dazed and Confused (1993) — directed by Richard LinklaterFilms → Waking Life (2001) — directed by Richard LinklaterRain's Upcoming Film → There You Are — dialogue-driven indie feature, directing October 2026For more storytelling tips and strategies, visit:Website → https://rainbennett.comPodcast → https://thestorytellinglabpodcast.comOr follow along at:TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@chiefstorytellingofficerTwitter/X → https://twitter.com/rainbennettInstagram → https://www.instagram.com/rainbennettFacebook → https://www.facebook.com/thestorytellinglabYouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@RainBennett Hosted on Acast.

Dans Travelling, on sʹoffre une trilogie et un réalisateur, en lʹoccurrence la trilogie Before du réalisateur américain Richard Linklater. Before Sunrise en 1995, Before Sunset en 2004 et Before Midnight en 2013, racontent une histoire dʹamour sur 20 ans avec les mêmes actrices et acteurs, en lʹoccurrence Julie Delpy et Ethan Hawke. Une rencontre dans un train entre deux jeunes gens au début des années 90, qui se transforme en une histoire de vie. Cʹest beau et cʹest un vrai pari. Celui du cinéma naturaliste. Celui dʹun cinéma verbeux et étonnant, ancré dans une réalité sociale, humaine, dans des interactions sensibles, et réfléchies. Richard Linklater appartient à une génération de cinéastes indépendants américains, capable d'alterner le cinéma expérimental et les productions plus "grand public" comme les films qui nous intéressent aujourdʹhui. Richard Linklater est un expérimentateur, un inventeur, saluant la durée, installant des climats. Récipiendaire de nombreux prix, cinéaste reconnu par ses pairs et par le public, nous allons vous parler de son cinéma. Archives, anecdotes, extraits, cʹest parti pour une trilogie.

Welcome back to Following Films. Before we jump in today, do me a quick favor: if you're enjoying the show, hit that subscribe button, leave us a quick review on whatever app you're using, and share this episode with a friend. It really helps get the word out.Today on the show, I'm talking with director Padraic McKinley about his new film, The Weight, which lands in theaters nationwide starting today.Padraic directed the film from a screenplay by Matthew Chapman and Shelby Gaines, based on a story hatched by Matthew Booi, Leo Scherman, and Chapman. It's got a massive team behind it, produced by Simon Fields, Nathan Fields, Ryan Hawke, Jonas Katzenstein, and Maximilian Leo, alongside a heavy lineup of executive producers including Andreas Rübo, Klaus Dohle, Frédéric Fiore, Céline Dornier, Ralf Berchtold, Peter Jarowey, Rich Goldberg, and Peter Block. Plus, the cast is stacked: Ethan Hawke and Russell Crowe lead the charge, alongside Julia Jones, Austin Amelio, Avi Nash, and Sam Hazeldine.The setup is pretty grim. It's 1933 in Oregon, and a guy named Samuel Murphy, played by Ethan Hawke, gets ripped away from his daughter and tossed into a brutal work camp. The warden, played by Russell Crowe, offers him a way out: smuggle a haul of gold through a completely deadly stretch of wilderness for an early release. Naturally, the crew he's stuck with starts rotting from the inside with betrayal, and Murphy has to figure out just how much of his own humanity he's willing to trade off to actually see his kid again. It's a desperate, messy story about desperate people, and Padraic and I break down how it all came together. Here is my conversation with Padraic McKinley.

"The Weight" is a 2026 historical drama film directed by Padraic McKinley. It stars Ethan Hawke, Russell Crowe, Julia Jones, Austin Amelio, Avi Nash, Lucas Lynggaad Tonnesen, George Burgess, Cameron Brady, Avy Berry, Alec Newman, and Sam Hazeldine. The film tells the story of Samuel Murphy (Hawke), who, in Oregon in 1933, is torn from his daughter and sent to a brutal work camp. Warden Clancy (Crowe) tempts him with early release if he smuggles gold through the deadly wilderness, but betrayal festers within the crew, and Murphy questions how far he'll go to see his child again. The film had its world premiere at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival and had its international premiere out of competition at the 76th Berlin International Film Festival. It received positive reviews for its performances and action set pieces. McKinley was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about his work and experience making the film, which you can watch or listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from Vertical Entertainment.

He's later joined by Frank Cusumano, KSDK Sports Anchor, to discuss the upcoming college and professional sports slate. Frank breaks down Missouri football's matchup against Troy, the Cardinals' historical season trends, STL City SC's ongoing unbeaten streak, and the St. Louis Blues' preparation for the upcoming NHL season.

Filmmaker Zach Cregger, responsible for recent horror hits "Barbarian" and "Weapons" was handed the reins to reimagine the biopunk "Resident Evil" franchise about killer mutants. The result is an utterly shameless, violent, ugly...and brilliantly made adaptation of the video game that's far better than its predecessors. Austin Abrams makes an appealing everyman thrown in an apocalyptic hell. There are more effective jump scares here than in a dozen horror movies as well as a lot of cheeky humor. “Resident Evil” is depraved but effective. Ethan Hawke gives another solid performance in the Depression Era prison drama, "The Weight." In a desperate attempt to secure his release from a penal labor camp and reunite with his child, Ethan agrees to warden Russell Crowe's scheme to smuggle a fortune in gold across a vast area of Oregon wilderness. While it may not quite be in the same category as the similarly themed classics like “Treasure of the Sierra Madre” and the white-knuckle thriller “Sorcerer,” “The Weight” is a gritty and involving thriller about the costs of human greed. The stop motion animation masters at Aardman studios, home of Wallace and Gromit, offer a clever early Halloween treat for the whole family, "Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom." Shaun, experimenting with a formula to grow pumpkins, accidently causes the farmer of Mossy Bottom to become covered with hair and mistaken for Bigfoot. This fast and furious and nearly wordless comedy is aimed squarely at the youngest demographic but is loaded with sight and sound gags that should appeal to mom and dad. “Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom” is a nimble family flick.

'The View' co-hosts weigh in as President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance make different pitches to win back voters amid rising gas and grocery prices and low approval ratings for the administration.

The actor also reflects on his Oscar-nominated performance in 'Blue Moon.' Clay Aiken announces his return to the stage with his 'Joyful Noise' Las Vegas residency. The singer also discusses his new album, 'Rewind,' and opens up about taking time away from performing to raise his son. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Our September Snubs marathon moves into front-of-camera heartbreak for the Best Actor category on We Drink & We Watch Things. For this episode, we are diving into Paul Schrader's stark, haunting 2018 drama, First Reformed. In one of the most glaring Academy oversights of the 2010s, Ethan Hawke delivered a career-defining, critically adored performance that swept critics' awards across the country, only to be completely shut out of an Oscar nomination.As a homage to Reverend Toller's whiskey and Pepto Bismol special, we are serving up a custom cocktail called "Sacramental Pink" - a rich blend of bourbon cream, rye whiskey, Campari, and a dash of Angostura bitters over a single block of ice. It looks the Pepto part, and is creamy but complex in a way that demands slow, quiet contemplation.This week, we unpack Ethan Hawke's extraordinary portrayal of Reverend Ernst Toller, a lonely pastor of a historic upstate New York church wrestling with physical sickness, loss of faith, and overwhelming climate dread. We dissect Schrader's austere visual style, analyzing how the narrow 1:37:1 aspect ratio and deliberate lack of musical score trap the viewer directly inside Toller's spiraling journal entries. We also talk through Amanda Seyfried's grounding performance as Mary, debate the film's shocking, surreal final moments, and discuss why the Academy so often shies away from quiet, uncompromising psychological studies in favor of flashier biopics.If you consider Ethan Hawke one of the finest actors of his generation, or if you just want to hear us break down a modern masterwork of existential dread, pull up a pew and hit play. We are blending our deep respect for a masterpiece of quiet intensity with our usual casual banter, keeping our September Snubs series moving forward.This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming up.

Neue Podcast-Episode: Adams Acht, Runner, Fast Food Nation und For All Mankind im Review In der aktuellen Podcast-Episode nehmen wir erneut vier spannende Produktionen aus Kino und Streaming unter die Lupe. Dabei reicht die Bandbreite von deutschem Sportkino über actiongeladene Verfolgungsjagden bis hin zu gesellschaftskritischem Independent-Kino und anspruchsvoller Science-Fiction. Den Auftakt macht Adams Acht, das neue Sportdrama von Hannu Salonen. Der Film erzählt die wahre Geschichte des legendären Rudertrainers Karl Adam und seines Teams, das Deutschland bei den Olympischen Spielen 1960 zu Gold führte. Mit einer starken Besetzung rund um Oliver Masucci und Felix Kammerer verbindet der Film historische Ereignisse mit persönlichen Schicksalen und liefert zugleich einen spannenden Einblick in die Nachkriegsgeschichte Deutschlands. Anschließend werfen wir einen Blick auf Runner. Der Action-Thriller von Scott Waugh setzt auf ein hohes Tempo und starke Hauptdarsteller. Alan Ritchson und Owen Wilson spielen zwei ungleiche Männer, die eine lebenswichtige medizinische Lieferung transportieren müssen und dabei von einem gefährlichen Kartell verfolgt werden. Der Film kombiniert klassische Road-Movie-Elemente mit explosiven Actionszenen und einem emotionalen Kern. Mit Fast Food Nation widmen wir uns anschließend einem ganz besonderen Film von Richard Linklater. Das Drama aus dem Jahr 2006 basiert auf dem Bestseller von Eric Schlosser und wirft einen kritischen Blick auf die amerikanische Fast-Food-Industrie. Besonders interessant ist heute die hochkarätige Besetzung mit Namen wie Bruce Willis, Greg Kinnear, Patricia Arquette, Ethan Hawke und Paul Dano. Viele Themen des Films haben bis heute nichts von ihrer Aktualität verloren. Außerdem sprechen wir ausführlich über die Apple-TV+-Serie For All Mankind. Die von Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert und Ben Nedivi entwickelte Serie erzählt eine alternative Version der Raumfahrtgeschichte. Was wäre passiert, wenn die Sowjetunion zuerst auf dem Mond gelandet wäre? Aus dieser Ausgangslage entwickelt sich eine faszinierende Science-Fiction-Saga voller politischer Spannungen, technischer Innovationen und menschlicher Schicksale. Die Serie gilt für viele Zuschauer als eines der ambitioniertesten Science-Fiction-Projekte der letzten Jahre. Freut euch auf ausführliche Diskussionen, spannende Hintergrundinformationen und unsere persönlichen Eindrücke zu allen vier Produktionen. Viel Spaß beim Zuhören!

Writer/Director Shoshana Rosenbaum grew up alongside Celine and Jesse from Richard Linklater's THE BEFORE TRILOGY. She was a recent American in Europe when BEFORE SUNRISE came out, a working 30-something when BEFORE SUNSET hit, and a married mom when BEFORE MIDNIGHT hit us with a dose of reality. She talks with Jordan about how she related to Celine (and the films as a whole) over that time, and how her personal transformation led her to become a filmmaker at 40. Then, Jordan has one quick (and tearful) thing about the singular Dolly Parton. Keep up with Shoshana's film, THE OTHER YOU, and watch the trailer here.

Today, we're sitting down with powerhouse actor Logan Marshall-Green, who has spent decades carving out an extraordinary career from the stage to the screen. His story begins with famously turning down a role in Terminator 3 in order to finish his MFA. In this episode, Logan takes us through his raw and honest journey, from battling intense imposter syndrome on the set of Ridley Scott's Prometheus to eventually finding his camera "sea legs" and learning to trust himself on screen. We dive into what it was like to get into an unscripted, physical scrap with Richard Gere in Brooklyn's Finest, direct the legendary Ethan Hawke in Adopt a Highway, share the screen with Al Pacino in Killing Castro, and step onto the epic scale of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. Plus, Logan shares his invaluable "walkaway" audition philosophy: a mindset that teaches artists how to let go, trust the work they've done, and keep moving forward. These are the unforgettable stories that landed Logan Marshall-Green right here. Credits: The Odyssey Marshals Killing Castro Spider-Man: Homecoming And Just Like That...

Matt and Eric kick off a 5-week Ethan Hawke run by carpe'ing the f'n diem out of 1989's DEAD POETS SOCIETY - starring Hawke as a shy, insecure lad who's inspired by Robin Williams' zany (kind-of-irresponsible) prep school poetry teacher.

On this week's episode of Unclear and Present Danger, Jamelle is joined by Nicole Hemmer, a professor of history at Vanderbilt University and co-host of the This Day in History podcast, to discuss the 1997 dystopian science-fiction film Gattaca, directed by Andrew Niccol and starring Ethan Hawke, Jude Law and Uma Thurman.In Gattaca, Hawke plays Vincent Freeman, a natural-born human being in a world of people genetically-engineered for perfection. Freeman dreams of space travel but is barred from it because of a genetic defect — a heart condition. To circumvent the system, he assumes the identity of Jerome Morrow, a genetically superior but disabled man, using Jerome's blood and urine samples to pass as a “valid” for Gattaca, the elite space program. As Vincent gets closer to his mission launch, a murder investigation threatens to expose his deception, forcing him to navigate suspicion while proving that determination can triumph over genetic destiny.You can find Gattaca to rent on Apple TV and Amazon.Episodes come out every two weeks, so see us then when we discuss The X-Files Movie.Sign up for our Patreon at patreon.com/unclearpod.

Through their individual stories, viewers experience the war through the memories of the men and women who experienced it: the rank-and-file Continental soldiers and American militiamen (some of them teenagers), Patriot political and military leaders, British Army officers, American Loyalists, Native soldiers and civilians, enslaved and free African Americans, German soldiers in the British service, French and Spanish allies, and various civilians living in North America, Loyalist as well as Patriot, including many made refugees by the war. The Revolution began a movement for people around the world to imagine new and better futures for themselves, their nations, and for humanity. It declared American independence with promises that we continue to strive for. The American Revolution opened the door to advance civil liberties and human rights, and it asked questions that we are still trying to answer today.
