David Robert Mitchell zählt zu den spannendsten Regisseuren des amerikanischen Genrekinos. Mit seinem Durchbruchsfilm „It Follows“ ist ihm 2014 ein neuer Blick auf das Horrorkino gelungen, mit „Under The Silver Lake“ präsentierte er einen Film Noir im Hipster-Remix. Jetzt nähert sich Mitchell dem Monstermovie. „The End Of Oak Street“ konfrontiert eine Vorstadt-Familie auf geheimnisvolle Weise mit Dinosauriern. Produziert von JJ Abrams und mit Anne Hathaway und Ewan McGregor prominent besetzt, verbeugt sich der Film liebevoll vor dem Blockbusterkino der 1980er Jahre. Christian Fuchs und Jan Hestmann schwärmen über das Gesamtwerk von Mystery-Meister David Robert Mitchell. Sendungshinweis: FM4 Film Podcast, 17.08.2026, 0 Uhr

Wien ist nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg eine geteilte Stadt. Vier Besatzungszonen der vier großen Mächte, die den Krieg gewonnen haben. Untereinander nicht eins. Die Stadt ist arm und es mangelt an Allem. Und so floriert der Schwarzmarkt. Düstere Verzweiflungsgeschäfte machen Menschen reich, die skrupellos sind, moralisch zweifelhafte Tauschgeschäfte zu betreiben. In diese Stadt kommt Holly, ein Amerikaner der von seinem besten Freund Harry ein Jobangebot bekommen hat. Bei seiner Ankunft allerdings ist Harry tot. Frisch vom Auto überfahren und wird gerade beerdigt. Aber irgendwie wirken die Todesumstände merkwürdig, und schnell denkt Holly es sei Mord gewesen. Er fühlt sich verantwortlich der Sache auf den Grund zu gehen und macht sich auf die Suche nach einem geheimnisvollen dritten Mann, den ein Portier am Unfallort gesehen haben will. Doch alle anderen Beteiligten schwören, dass es nur zwei Männer gab. Immer tiefer in den Wiener Sumpf gezogen, stellt Holly irgendwann fest, dass er nicht nur sichergehen muss, WIE Harry gestorben ist, sondern OB er wirklich tot ist. Denn wie sich herausstellt, ist Harry am Leben und der Strippenzieher eines Verbrechens das Menschenleben kostet. Soll er seinen besten Freund an die Polizei verraten? Die Verfolgungsjagd am Schluss, endet tödlich. Für Harry und für Hollys amerikanische Naivität. Plor, ist es ein schlechtes Zeichen, dass eine Beschreibung des Filmplots auch vollkommen ohne die Erwähnung der weiblichen Hauptfigur auskommt? Denn eigentlich passiert am Ende des Films etwas sehr ungewöhnliches für die End-40er.

Welcome to The Reel Schmooze with ToI film reviewer Jordan Hoffman and host Amanda Borschel-Dan, where we bring you all the entertainment news and film reviews a Jew can use. We have two Jangles this week. Borschel-Dan explains how Boy George released a reggae-inspired track, titled “Od Nirkod” in Hebrew, "We Will Dance Again," on his social media accounts on Monday. The duo chews this over. Hoffman is still jazzed from a Phish show he had seen the previous night. He brings us a fascinating and statistically rare sound sample. The main feature this week is Billy Wilder's 1944 "Double Indemnity," which is considered by many -- including our very own movie maven -- as one of the best pieces of film noir to date. Wilder was born in 1906 in Sucha, Galicia, today's Poland, to a Jewish family. He moved as a boy to Vienna, eventually working as a journalist and screenwriter, and moved to Paris as the Nazis rose to power. By 1934, he had made his way to Hollywood and begun working on films. Last week, Hoffman dared Borschel-Dan to find the Jewish themes of this week's film. Set in 1938, "Double Indemnity" probes the banality of evil even as Wilder's own family was being massacred in Nazi Europe. Wilder won the first of his seven Oscars for the film, which stars Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck and the Jewish actor Edward Goldenberg Robinson (born Emanuel Goldenberg). Let’s hear who gave this film an “oy,” “meh” or the prized “not bad” this week on The Reel Schmooze.

Sweet Smell of Success (1957) is one of the most visually ruthless films Hollywood ever made — and one that doesn't show up in the conversation as often as it should. We dig into James Wong Howe's New York City cinematography, the Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis dynamic, and what the Library of Congress saw in it when they added it to the National Film Registry.   Since 1989, the National Film Registry has selected 25 films each year that are deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant". In each episode, Mike Natale (Yahoo!) and Tom Lorenzo (Men's Journal) bring on a special guest to take a look at one of the films from the registry, to get to the heart of why these films matter.

Following the defeat, the narrative takes on a "film noir" quality as the lovers return to Alexandria. Antony fell into deep melancholy, while Cleopatra focused on the survival of her dynasty, even contemplating exile in India. Octavian used the interim to consolidate power and negotiate with Antony's former allies. A treacherous three-way negotiation began, with both Antony and Cleopatra secretly dealing with Octavian while lying to each other. When Octavian finally invaded Egypt in 30 BC, Antony's remaining forces deserted him. Driven by a false report of Cleopatra's suicide, Antony attempted to kill himself and died in her arms on August 1. Cleopatra eventually committed suicide—likely via a cobra bite—to avoid being paraded in a Roman triumph. Octavian immediately secured the Egyptian treasury and ordered the execution of Caesarion, the 16-year-old heir, to eliminate any rival claims to Caesar's legacy. (7/8)CICERO AND FULVIA

When I first saw the trailer on a "Focus Features" DVD I knew this was one that I had to see. In Rian Johnson's directorial debut, this modern film noir weaves quite a knot that slowly unties throughout the course of the story. Joseph Gordon-Levitt carries every scene which reminded me of his other indie films in the early 00s that I loved so much. I get into why this story and visual style reminds me of Donnie Darko, how Focus Features was equivalent to A24 back in the day, the minimal normie yet important fashion, and try to work out the illogical parts of what the hell was actually going on.

In honor of that time I went on an Easter Egg Hunt as a toddler in 1984 and had no luck, I'm giving everyone this Easter egg of an episode a day early. Hope you and yours have a safe, happy, healthy, and lovely weekend full of good movies and great memories.This week, I'm honored to bring back one of my oldest Film Twitter buddies, the great Brian Saur, who I've known and collaborated with on various projects for over sixteen years, from the blog Rupert Pupkin Speaks to DVD Netflix to pods. Gifting us with an inventive trio of forgotten film noir titles he discovered on his incredible Pure Cinema and Just the Discs podcasts, in this entertaining discussion, we cover THE POWER OF THE WHISTLER (1945), ROAD HOUSE (1948), and SHAKEDOWN (1950), and other unsung B-movie goodies you'll treasure as a cinephile.Bio: Brian Saur is the co-host of the Pure Cinema Podcast, a long-running film podcast he hosts alongside Elric Kane. As the official podcast of the New Beverly Cinema, the show has spent the past nine years exploring cult and classic films, with a particular emphasis on uncovering hidden, off-the-beaten-path gems. Over the years, it has featured high-profile guests such as Quentin Tarantino, Sean Baker, Rian Johnson, Edgar Wright, Patton Oswalt, Larry Karaszewski, and Dan Waters. At its core, the podcast aims to recreate the experience of walking into a video store and getting personalized movie recommendations from the knowledgeable staff behind the counter. ‍ Listen to Pure Cinema anywhere you get podcasts.Originally Posted on Patreon (4/4/26) here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/154778751Shop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless ShopDonate to the Pod via Ko-fi & PayPalTheme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive
