In that same year publicist Arthur Jacobs bought the screen rights while he was looking for something "like King Kong". Five years later in 1968 the film was released with one of the most famous twist endings of cinematic history. The film is a fun "off-planet" sci-fi adventure story with heavy commentary on societal expectations and standards. I have two lovely guests to help us understand this sci-fi classic. John Wills is a Professor of American Media and Culture at the University of Kent. He has written lots about popular culture including his new book Doom Town USA Phil Nichols is Senior Consultant to the Ray Bradbury Center at Indiana University, and formerly Film & Television course leader at the University of Wolverhampton. The Scopes trial was a 1925 case in the USA in which a teacher was accused of violating the law by teaching evolution in schools. The trial was set up on purpose to challenge the Butler Act which prevented the teaching of evolution.

According to Just Watch (where you can find the availability in your region) it is included in the HBO subscription in the USA and Australia. In Canada it's included in the Crave subscription. In the UK it's Prime video and Now Cinema.  But the film can also be bought or rented online from many outlets including Apple, Fandango, Spectrum and Prime. Or you could buy a fancy DVD of it to add to your collection.

Kathleen W. Taylor Kollman has a new book out that focuses on the reality of women running for president in the United States, and the fictional representations of this idea that we have seen over the past hundred years. The Fictional Female Presidency in Film, Television, and Literature: Representations from 1932 to 2024 (Bloomsbury Academic, 2026) takes up a number of different and intriguing examples of this idea, a woman serving as president, and unpacks the various narratives to help us understand what popular culture may be communicating about this concept and what those narratives may be teaching the audience (viewers or readers). Taylor Kollman comes at her research from a variety of perspectives, including Media Studies, Women's Studies, Feminist Studies, and American Studies. This makes the research particularly rich – since it explores these ideas from a host of analytical viewpoints, helping the reader to consider different genres (television, film, literature) and different approaches. Undergirding all of this is an interrogation of the idea of women and power, which is a controversial concept for many voters, even if it remains unacknowledged. Taylor Kollman goes through the decades, with a focus on examples of female presidents in a variety of different cultural artifacts. In tracing this concept through almost a hundred years of different narratives, the research highlights some interesting themes, including the accidental way in which women become president within the fictional framework. One of the points Taylor Kollman makes is that, in all the different genres and contexts, there seems to be something wrong with this idea of a woman as president. Often the characters are presented as deceptive, evil, corrupt, illegitimate, or they are seen as incapable of doing the job and are often torn between work and homelife/family life. In tracing these examples, Taylor Kollman also provides the reader with an understanding of the different iterations (waves) of feminism and feminist thought, as well as noting the various backlashes to feminism. The Fictional Female Presidency in Film, Television, and Literature takes the reader through a host of different examples, fleshing out these feminist and backlash imaginary spaces that focus on women and power. Another part of the equation, that is often overlooked in the research on this topic, is that there are fewer female film and television producers, directors, and showrunners, thus often constraining the opportunity to present these ideas of woman and power. This also influences the narratives that come before audiences, since women are not generally “trusted” in the same way that men are to helm major film releases with multi-million dollar budgets. This is another form of reality influencing the imaginary, but in a less expected way. The Fictional Female Presidency in Film, Television, and Literature: Representations from 1932 to 2024 takes the reader from Betty Boop for President to Allison Janney as President Grace Penn in The Diplomat and many other fascinating examples of fictional portrayals of women as president of the United States.

We must be the ones telling these stories. Not just consulting. Not just advising. Leading. Creating. Producing. Representing ourselves with precision and truth across every level and in every facet of the industry. If we don't step up, culture will continue to get it wrong. In episode 173, I sit down with the wild man himself, Rudy Reyes — Marine Corps veteran, actor, stunt coordinator, producer, the driving force behind FOX's Special Forces. Our conversation cuts straight to the core of what authentic storytelling  demands. Rudy doesn't just play roles — he lives them, bringing hard-earned truths from the battlefield to film, television, and commercial advertising. We dive into his latest work as the lead in the VA's Face Your Dragon campaign, a powerful PSA focused on securing firearms in the home to prevent veteran suicide. This is more than representation, it's responsibility. Rudy breaks down how his experience as a warfighter directly informs his work as an actor, stunt coordinator, and producer, and why that level of authenticity cannot be faked or outsourced.

I'm sure you've seen plenty of movies, TV shows or ads featuring animals – whether it's a show based on one, like Babe or even if they're just in the background – like a dog on the street. Did you know there needs to be at least one animal trainer present on set? My guest today is Jet Shaw, and she does exactly that. She's also an internationally acclaimed animal behaviourist and educator. She's worked on some of the biggest movies, like Avatar, and has a career spanning over 3 decades.I'm very aware when it comes to animals and the ethics of them working in show biz, it can be a really complicated topic. It definitely is for me. But what I wanted to explore in this episode was the basics about the actual experience, so we don't go too far into the politics. It's a really important conversation, and I think it deserves an entire episode of it's own. So who knows, maybe one day.What I will say is this… Jet is SO passionate about what she does. Her love for animals is undeniable, and as you'll soon hear, she's incredibly strict about the high standard she keeps to ensure the well-being of her animals on and off set. She's also really funny… You're going to hear about how Jet became a trainer, how it all works as well as some pretty special moments - you might even recognise a couple of the stars she's worked with. So without further ado - here's Jet. Get in touch if you'd like to suggest an idea for an episode or just to say G'day

Thanks to everyone who joined us last Friday for our recent "Funky Friday at Five"!!!! We had a blast sharing 7th installment in our deep dive 70's film series focused on some interesting examples of television from the era: featuring a special with Robin Williams and John Ritter from the earliest years of HBO. Please enjoy and share this with us! More on this episode, here: On this Funky Friday 70s Part 7: “A Potpourri", I return to my medium sized tv screen which might be the most appropriate setting thus far as I am featuring excerpts from television of the era of all kinds with a fulfillment of my earlier promise to show the John Ritter/Robin Williams improvisation from the Roxy in 1978 - made for HBO in its earliest years.” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mitch-hampton/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mitch-hampton/support

Over the weekends, you can usually find him exploring the California coast by motorcycle, reading about business strategy, or improving his lap times around the Karting track.

We might not (quite) be in Portland but we sure are having a good time, wherever we are. Adam and JP are joined by Jon Weiss (and Chat GPT) to deconstruct this Juliet episode. Topics discussed are Dropping Danny on a Dime (the spiritual successor to Wet Whisperin Walt),  super sick raves,  and the punctuality of public transportation.    Also, check out https://paper.co/ for more information on Jon's employer and all the good work they are doing.  And if you've got some coin to spare, donate to "Film & Television" at https://entertainmentcommunity.org/ to support our our fellow labor during the continuing WGA strike.

As part of University of Arizona's SXSW Movie Night night, Shai and Becky had an inspiring conversation with School of Theatre, Film & Television alum and current students in front of a packed live audience. We talked to Zack Lovvorn, whose eerie sci-fi film Iris gives us serious early Cronenberg vibes, Sasha Reist who brings a dancer's unique perspective to documentary film in her short Changement, and Roxie Denise Stevens Ibarra who masterfully plays with our heartstrings in her moving dramatic short Tesoro. We were also lucky to ask Peter Catalanotte of Film Tucson, a few insiders questions about shooting in Arizona.
