Podcast appearances and mentions of Florence Foster Jenkins

Jeffrey is helemaal in de gloria want vandaag staat een van zijn favoriete acteurs centraal: Nicolas Cage!Maart was een middelmatige filmmaand met een paar kleine hoogtepunten en eigenlijk geen echte dieptepunten. We lichten de films 'Last Breath' en 'Mickey 17' uit als positieve verrassingen en Erwin en Jeffrey benadrukken nog maar even hoe belangrijk het is om films in de bioscoop te zien...puur voor de ervaring.Erwin heeft een mooi college gemaakt over method acteur Nicolas Cage. Hij neemt ons mee in de bizarre methodes die Cage heeft toegepast voor zijn rollen en vertelt ons hoe Cage zijn eigen "kunstvorm" heeft genoemd. Als je nog niet van Cage hield, doe je dit vast en zeker na dit leuke college!Jeffrey keek de film 'Knowing' op Videoland. Lichtelijk teleurgesteld want Erwin had ook nog 'Face/Off' als optie maar besloot 'Knowing' te schenken. Jeffrey schuift zijn teleurstelling (wederom) niet onder stoelen en banken en laat weten waar de film, volgens hem, steken heeft laten vallen. Erwin viel meer in de prijzen. Hij keek 'Leaving Las Vegas' op Videoland, de film waarvoor Cage zijn (enige) Oscar heeft gekregen. Hoe viel deze zware maar indrukwekkende film bij Erwin? LET OP: Dit stukje heeft een triggerwarning i.v.m. suicide en verslaving. Wil je Leaving als vegas overslaan? Ga dan weer verder vanaf  32:40! April is alweer hier en er is genoeg om naar uit te kijken. Benieuwd waar onze filmfanaten naar uitkijken, je hoort het tegen het einde van de aflevering. In de volgende aflevering wederom een icoon die we zullen uitlichten, Erwin gaat ons laten genieten van Meryl Streep! Voor deze aflevering kijkt Jeffrey 'The Devil Wears Prada' op Disney+ en kijkt Erwin 'Florence Foster Jenkins'.

In this episode Wendi discusses all-things Glorious! and also reflects on the path of her career, including some of the non-performing jobs she did early on, how Coronation Street changed things, what makes her say yes or no… and lots more along the way.Glorious! runs at the Hope Mill theatre in Manchester until 30th March 2025.

D'ordinaire, les artistes sont appréciés pour leur talent. C'est ce qui rend le cas de Florence Foster Jenkins singulier. À l'évidence, cette femme un peu excentrique, incarnée à l'écran par Catherine Frot, en était totalement dénuée. Ce qui ne l'empêcha pas de connaître une certaine célébrité.Contrairement à ce que l'on a pu dire, Florence Foster Jenkins connaissait la musique. Après avoir quitté ses parents et divorcé, en 1902, elle gagne en effet sa vie en donnant des cours de piano.Mais sa vie bascule en 1909, à la mort de son père. En effet, celui-ci lui lègue une fortune qui va lui permettre de suivre sa voie.Florence Foster Jenkins a toujours rêvé de chanter. Ce n'est pas le music hall qui l'attire, mais l'opéra. Elle veut devenir cantatrice. Ses parents et son mari l'avaient pourtant dissuadée d'entamer une telle carrière.Et pour cause. Si elle sait lire une partition, elle n'a aucun sens du tempo musical et a même du mal à tenir une note. Elle compense en partie ces déficiences par l'extravagance de ses costumes, qu'elle confectionne souvent elle-même, et par son entrain sur scène.Accompagnée par un pianiste, et conseillée par son imprésario, l'acteur St Clair Bayfield, la cantatrice donne quelques récitals dans des lieux comme l'hôtel Ritz Carlton, à New York.Et le public se presse à ses représentations. Impressionné par son aplomb, il la considère comme une sorte de curiosité. On vient un peu la voir comme on assisterait à un spectacle de foire.De son côté, Florence Foster Jenkins ne doute pas une seconde de son talent et se compare aux plus grandes cantatrices de son temps. Elle attribue même les éclats de rire qui ponctuent ses récitals à la jalousie de ses rivales.Mais l'illusion se dissipe en 1944. Cette année-là, la cantatrice de 76 ans monte sur la scène du prestigieux Carnegie Hall. Ce qui devait être l'apogée de sa carrière en devient le pire revers. En effet, les critiques, qui ne l'avaient jamais vraiment entendue chanter, la clouent au pilori. Elle meurt deux ans plus tard, ulcérée par cet échec. Hébergé par Acast.

Our guest today is Nicholas Martin, movie producer and writer of the biographical drama, “Golda”. Golda was seven years in the making, and as you'll hear, Nicholas has delved so deeply into her story - and by extension Israel's story from independence to the 1970s - which makes this such a captivating interview. He's also made deep friendships with Golda's family and throughout Israel. A highly experienced and talented filmmaker who's become a world authority on the period, but didn't know a great deal about Israeli history before he started. Nicholas' previous film was the hilarious, Florence Foster-Jenkins. Golda also stars Liev Schreiber as Henry Kissinger and Camille Cottin as Lou Kadar, Golda's assistant. Our episode music has just been composed in support of Israel by my friend Bryan Edery with concert violinist Miriam Kramer. He's called it “Israel in my Heart, ner Tamid”. Thank you for allowing it to be our beautiful episode theme tune. I'd been talking to Nicholas about an interview for two years, before we eventually sat down in his London home for this considered and emotional discussion. I want to thank Nicholas for being such an open interviewee. This is one of the best. You can buy "Golda" on Apple TV, Amazon Video, Sky Store, Microsoft Store, Rakuten TV, Google Play Movies, YouTube as download or rent it on Amazon Video, Microsoft Store, Google Play Movies, YouTube, Rakuten TV, Apple TV, Sky Store, Curzon Home Cinema online.

The new film Golda – starring a bewitching Helen Mirren as Golda Meir, the Iron Lady of Israel, was written and produced by Nicholas Martin. Martin is best known for writing the 2016 film Florence Foster Jenkins. With two amazing biopics about strong, defiant women, we talk about how to find the moment that defines a character and how to focus the story on a short period of time instead of a cradle-to-grave saga. For Florence Foster Jenkins, it's her journey to Carnegie Hall and for Golda Meir, it's the 18-day Yom Kippur War. To Martin's surprise, that focus on the war turned the film Golda into a thriller.  “The structure was dictated by the phases of the war,” says Martin. “So, it was really a thriller and a war film rather than a personal drama about a woman's struggle to command a nation at war. That's what gave it its thriller shape.”  To pinpoint that moment, Martin turned to a quote from Winston Churchill.  “He famously said at the beginning of the Second World War, when he became Prime Minister, ‘All of my mistakes have brought me to this point.' … And then I thought I think this is the same for Golda… We've got such a thumping narrative of the Yom Kippur War, such a clear beginning, middle and end and she's under so much pressure, I think if we cut away from this it would dilute the tension and it would be mixing genres in a way. So, it seems that just sticking to this one story which is complicated enough, let's try and keep it simple, tell this one story well,” says Martin.    Listen to this episode to find out more about Martin's research process, how learning to use a spreadsheet upped Martin's structure game, and hear why Meryl Streep threatened to never speak to Martin again while making Florence Foster Jenkins.

Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us.

We all know the power of wishes, and cinema loves to tell wish stories. They can be inspirational or cautionary, and Taylor and Riley have chosen two fantastical films to showcase in this episode. There's the story of Florence Foster Jenkins who wishes to perform at Carnegie Hall, and then we have the story of Three Thousand Years of Longing where wishes might just cause more harm than good. Our wish is that you love these two movies as much as we did! And, of course, Nick has made us a very punny cocktail - The "Djinn" Sour. Cheers! "Djinn" Sour - 2 ounces London dry gin - 1 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed - 1/2 ounce simple syrup - 1/2 ounce egg white or aquafaba (optional) - Garnish: lemon twist (optional) - Garnish: 3 drops Angostura bitters (optional) Steps - Add the gin, lemon juice, simple syrup and egg white or aquafaba into a shaker and vigorously dry-shake (without ice). - Add ice and shake again until well-chilled. - Strain into a coupe glass. - Garnish with a lemon twist.

After a hiatus of four months, Diggory and Oscar are back to spread Hugh Grant-related Christmas cheer! First up on the agenda is new film Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, which premiered in November but will be largely enjoyed on Netflix when it's released on December 23. Hugh has a very fleeting cameo in this 'whodunnit' starring Daniel Craig, but nonetheless it's got Hugh Grant fans talking! The boys also debrief on an ABC News 20 years retrospective on Love Actually, where Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson and others reflect on making the Christmas classic. Can you believe Love Actually came out 20 years ago....! We can't. Finally, Digs and Oscar ponder exciting news that Hugh has been cast in another HBO show, The Palace, following on from his success in The Undoing. This time, he's ticking off starring with yet another leading lady in Kate Winslet. There aren't a lot of details at present, but the fact it's being directed by Stephen Frears (who Hugh knows from A Very English Scandal and Florence Foster Jenkins) is certainly an early Christmas present. We hope you enjoyed this podcast episode of Hugh's News which is a Taking Hugh for Granted production.

Welcome back wayward wanderers! This episode we discuss Florence Foster Jenkins and musician Korla Pandit.

One of the world's most famous opera singers grew up on South Franklin Street in Wilkes-Barre. She wasn't famous for being a good opera singer, however. In season 2 episode 3 of Fireside History presented by the Luzerne County Historical Society, Mark Riccetti, Jr. and Michael Ward discuss the life and legacy of Florence Foster Jenkins. Hear an actual aria from the collection and compare the Florence who grew up in Northeastern Pennsylvania with the Florence portrayed by Meryl Streep in the 2016 movie. 

Simon Helberg (The Big Bang Theory, Florence Foster Jenkins, As They Made Us) joins Mayim in studio to discuss the preparation he did and fears he had playing his complicated character in Mayim's new film, As They Made Us. He takes us through the darkest moments of his mental health journey, his OCD stemming from his attempts to avoid failure, and his motivation to seek professional treatment. Mayim considers the shift she witnessed in Simon's mental health on The Big Bang Theory set. They discuss their entries into the Big Bang cast, what happened once the show grew in popularity, and the mental health quirks and stereotypes of each of the characters. Simon and Mayim explain the process of finding themselves after the success of the series and what it was like for Simon to perform an impression of Stephen Hawking in front of the late physicist on the set of the show.Trailer for As They Made Us : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU-b6NoDkiU&t=0sSimon Helberg's impressions on CONAN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7xQkJYwyi0BialikBreakdown.comYouTube.com/mayimbialik

Johnny Rodgers, Bette Sussman, and Deborah Jean Templin join the show for this episode. JOHNNY RODGERS is an internationally celebrated singer-songwriter, pianist, Broadway veteran, and recording artist who is described by Stephen Holden, from The New York Times, as an entertainer “who has show business in his bones” with “fused elements of Billy Joel, Peter Allen and Johnny Mercer.” When she was nineteen years old, BETTE SUSSMAN began her work as a musical director with a touring production of Godspell. By chance, Dick Wagner met her, and introduced her to Tim Curry. She played on Curry's Fearless album and also embarked on her first major world tour with him.She would later work as a musical director and a pianist for music artists such as Cissy Houston, Sarah Dash, Esther Marrow and Patti Austin, with whom she recorded a live album from the Bottom Line in NYC. Accomplished and versatile, DEBORAH JEAN TEMPLIN has performed on stage, screen and television. Her most recent appearance was as the inspired, but vocally flawed, wannabe opera diva, Florence Foster Jenkins, in Stephen Temperley's Souvenir. Her solo show UNSINKABLE WOMEN: Stories and Songs from the Titanic. Having successfully toured the country with UNSINKABLE WOMEN, Templin created her autobiographical play, SINGING FOR THE COWS. These solo shows have played more than 150 venues, including the New York's Lincoln Center Performing Arts Library Series.

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture Our 2016 retrospective continues as we attempt to cover a few missing podcast reviews which we did not complete the year the site launched. This will culminate in NBP Film Community Awards and awards voted on by the staff. Next up is our review of "Florence Foster Jenkins" starring Meryl Streep, Hugh Grant & Simon Helberg. Based on a true story and directed by Academy Award nominee Stephen Frears ("The Queen" & "Philomena"), the film is a delightful piece of entertainment, hoisted up by its main trio of performances. What did we think of it though? What did we think of the film's awards season run which resulted in Meryl Streep's 20th Oscar nomination but left Hugh Grant on the sidelines? Tune in to find out all of this and more in our review. Joining me for this podcast retrospective review I have Amanda Spears, Dan Bayer & Ryan C. Showers.

And the nominees are! Now that the 2017 Golden Globe Nominees are announced, we bring our buddy JP on to run through all of the nominations and our picks for all of them, even if we have no clue what we're talking about. Our favorite actors, actresses, movies, and tv shows, nothing gets left out of this one! We finally manage to scratch the surface of our Westworld discussion, as well as how it stacks up to it's contenders Stranger Things, Game of Thrones, The Crown, and This is Us. Home Before Dark hearkens back to a time when you and your friends in the neighborhood were forced inside. Where you discovered a level of brotherhood/sisterhood that could only be forged through playing video games, watching movies, television and discussing the finer things in life over an Orange Lavaburst Hi-C and Bagel Bites. We take the time out to talk about the current games we're playing, movies we've seen recently(new or old) and all the things in between. It's almost that time. The streetlights just came on and you had better leave soon to be Home Before Dark. Find the whole gang on twitter @timherb and @the_ARC1TECT and collectively @HomeB4Dark
