It's the end of the line for Daniel Craig's Bond — and the final pour in our 007 series. In Episode 25, I'm closing out my James Bond retrospective with a deep dive into No Time to Die (2021) — a bold, emotional, and divisive conclusion to the Daniel Craig era. With high stakes, stunning visuals, and a shocking farewell, this film redefines what it means to be 007.To mark the occasion, I'm pairing the film with a pour of Jack Daniel's 14-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey — a limited release with bold character, deep oak, and a long-lasting finish that mirrors Bond's final chapter.
Well, a movie finally broke us. Horror and mortal terror have a face. In the absolutely dreadful “family film” Tooth Fairy (2010)—quite possibly the worst movie our podcast has ever covered—Dwayne Johnson plays Derek Thompson, a hockey player who specializes in knocking out opponents' teeth. He has a lot on his plate: He's dating Ashley Judd, who has two kids: An adorable little girl who loves him and a punk teenage boy who thinks he's full of crap (Because he is.). At the same time, Derek has some hotshot new competition in the form of Mick “The Stick” Donnelly, a hot-shot new prospect who is described in the span of 25 seconds by the team's coach as both “the future face of this (minor league) franchise” and “only here for a cup of coffee before he makes the NHL.” Then he becomes the Tooth Fairy. Hilarity ensues. Next week: We're off! We return on July 11 for an episode about Fast Five (2011). The Summer of Rock is our summer 2025 miniseries covering the movie career of Dwayne Johnson through nine movies, presented in chronological order. Starting with his attempt at crossing over from the world of wrestling, The Rock's career got off to a bumpy start before finally taking off in the 2010s. But it wasn't long before the bumps returned, and we'll be telling the story for you all summer long! Bonus video: Matt explains how director Paul Verhoeven could predict how the future would feel, through examining three of his movies: RoboCop, Total Recall, and Starship Troopers.

Alle Infos zum Ratatouille-Screening: www.filmforumnrw.de/Film-und-Kritik Uns ist klar, dass nicht alle ein riesiges TV-Set Up haben, das mit Kino-Leinwänden mithalten kann. Manche von uns haben ja noch nicht mal einen Fernseher! Xenia und Lenny diskutieren deshalb mal, welche unkonventionelle Art und Weise, einen Film zu schauen (auf dem Handy auf Klo? Im Zug ohne Kopfhörer?) vertretbar ist, und welche einem kulturellen Komplettausfall gleich kommt. Außerdem besprechen wir die Starts der Woche, unter anderem F1, JURASSIC WORLD: DIE WIEDERGEBURT, FREAKY TALES (mit Pedro Pascal!) und die vierte Staffel von THE BEAR. Und zu guter Letzt machen die beiden, inspiriert von MEGAN 2.0, der diese Woche in den Kinos anläuft, das absolute Horror-Puppen-Ranking: Wer ist gruseliger? Megan oder Annabelle?

We've arrived at the penultimate James Bond film! Spectre (2015) — the long-awaited return of Ernst Stavro Blofeld. To match the sleek and brooding energy of Spectre, I'm pouring a glass of Michter's 10 Year Old Bourbon — a bold, refined whiskey with depth and character that perfectly complements this shadowy Bond adventure.If you're a fan of Bond films, bourbon, or both, this episode is a smooth ride through high-stakes espionage and high-proof flavor.
Madeline, Julian, and Emilio welcome back past guest and Julian's longtime friend Michaela Brady to continue discussing films with Musicians-Turned-Actors, and this time it's a "Mise-Unseen" on Nicolas Roeg's 1976 film "The Man Who Fell to Earth," starring David Bowie in his first acting role. Centered on the titular alien's efforts to harness earthly resources and bring water back to his drought-laden home planet, the film blends its literary world-building with a tone barely seen in films after the 1970s, by way of first-time actor Bowie's naturalism, Roeg's unconventional direction, and an eclectic supporting cast. A first-time watch for all, the group compares this film to others they didn't get on an initial watch, but still found compelling, along with discussing its reflections of the 1970s zeitgeist and dropping plenty of Bowie-related anecdotes, both personal and well-known, along the way.Listeners - what are some movies you didn't quite understand on first watch, but knew you wanted to come back to? Let us know here, and we'll share your responses on an upcoming episode: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1N6B0AYVGegnis7UYhE82ZDR8AMDvGb-79Yvgo1JT-6I/editFollow Michaela Brady on IG @mnbawriter or @jillnjeff11, and check out her writing and blog at michaela-n-brady.com.If you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.

Film journalist and friend of the show Brandon Streussnig returns to discuss Danny Boyle's debut film Shallow Grave, a British riff on the 90s neo-noir template, self-described by Boyle and his collaborators as their take on the Coen's Blood Simple. The film chronicles a trifecta of beautiful, sociopathic yuppies sharing an Edinburgh flat (Kerry Fox, Christopher Eccleston, and Ewan McGregor) who unravel after the untimely death of their new roommate and the discovery of a suitcase full of cash. Frenetic, aesthetically bold, and brimming with terrific performances from its cast of newcomers, Shallow Grave stood in stark opposition to the more muted social realism of established British filmmakers of the era like Mike Leigh and Ken Loach and showcased the collaborative power of Boyle, McGregor, screenwriter John Hodge, and producer Andrew Macdonald only a handful of years removed from their landmark feature, Trainspotting.We discuss Boyle's aesthetic inclinations, his history in the theater, and how the cinematic medium can liberate a particular type of artist from the confines of the stage. Then, we unpack the film's stellar trio of performances, its economy of character, and especially McGregor's star-making turn that suggests the greatness he would achieve with Boyle in their next several collaborations. Finally, we explore the film's ire for post-Thatcherite individualism, its attacks on the moral vacuum of the upwardly mobile, the dramatic irony of a film about the corruptability of money even for those who don't need it.In addition, we spend a brief moment looking forward to Boyle's latest film 28 Years Later (a full Bonus episode on the film coming later this week) and what it supposes for Boyle's late period.Follow Brandon Streussnig on Twitter.

Tonight on Triple Feature, Mark Radulich and Mac Kettner embark on a cinematic journey through the bold, genre-bending filmography of the Wachowski Sisters, tracing their artistic evolution from the noir-tight thriller Bound (1996), through the ambitious, time-hopping epic Cloud Atlas (2012), to the sprawling, space-operatic chaos of Jupiter Ascending (2015).We begin with Bound, their directorial debut—a lean, tightly constructed neo-noir starring Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly. While remembered today for its stylized depiction of a lesbian relationship and its feminist reversal of genre tropes, the film also laid the groundwork for the Wachowskis' signature style: sharp visual framing, subversive gender politics, and a meticulous blend of genre tradition and rebellion. Critics at the time praised its confidence and tension, and it's since become a cult classic, often cited for how it queered the crime genre with both sensuality and grit.Fast forward to Cloud Atlas, a deeply ambitious adaptation of David Mitchell's novel. Co-directed with Tom Tykwer, the film features a sprawling ensemble cast—Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugh Grant, Jim Broadbent, Doona Bae—playing multiple interconnected roles across six timelines. Aesthetic maximalism meets spiritual recursion here: past lives, future consequences, and the collapse of individual identity into something larger. The film was divisive, praised for its ambition but criticized for its complex structure and controversial use of makeup. Still, in retrospect, Cloud Atlas is regarded as a turning point—a declaration that the Wachowskis were more interested in ideas than in simple spectacle.Finally, we crash into Jupiter Ascending—a wildly uneven, endlessly fascinating space opera starring Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum. The film throws genetic royalty, flying rollerblades, Eddie Redmayne whisper-shouting, and bureaucratic intergalactic dynasties into a blender. It's messy, no doubt. But it's also unmistakably Wachowskian: rich with metaphor, post-capitalist critique, and gendered power struggles wrapped in ridiculous sci-fi fantasy. It was largely panned upon release, but like much of their work, Jupiter Ascending has developed a loyal fanbase who see past the surface chaos to the emotional and thematic sincerity underneath.Through these three films, we trace the Wachowski Sisters' cinematic transformation: from intimate noir storytellers to high-concept philosophers to unapologetically maximalist dreamers. No matter the box office or Rotten Tomatoes score, their work consistently pushes boundaries—of genre, identity, and cinematic form itself.So buckle in. We're talking legacy, aesthetics, ideas, and all the gloriously weird stuff in between.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Bond is back — and better than ever. In Episode 23 of my ongoing 007 series, I dive into one of the most celebrated entries in the franchise: Skyfall (2012).

I share tasting notes, my thoughts on the latest batch, and how it complements the themes and tone of Skyfall.
