In Episode 291 of The Chazz Palminteri Show, I sit down with legendary actor Dominic Chianese, best known for his unforgettable role as Uncle Junior on The Sopranos. Dominic shares stories from his career, including working with James Gandolfini, Francis Ford Coppola, Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, Anthony Quinn, and other legendary performers. We discuss The Sopranos, The Godfather Part II, acting technique, and the importance of being authentic on camera. Dominic also reflects on growing up in the Bronx, his Italian-American roots, his lifelong passion for singing, his grandfather's musical influence, and his experiences working alongside some of Hollywood's greatest actors. It's a warm, funny, and fascinating conversation between two Bronx actors about acting, music, family, friendship, and a lifetime in show business.

By the early 1980s Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas were the richest, best-known filmmakers in the world, with an empire of their own. Coppola had directed The Godfather, then the highest-grossing film of all-time, until Spielberg surpassed it with Jaws — whose record Lucas broke with Star Wars, which Spielberg surpassed again with E.T. In a new book, The Last Kings of Hollywood, Paul Fischer charts their rise from young, ambitious filmmakers in the 1960s to the dominant creative forces of 1970s and 80s American cinema. In this episode, he joins Anna Bogutskaya to examine how these three era-defining filmmakers rivalled and supported each other, fell out and reconciled, and struggled to reinvent popular American cinema. Paul Fischer is an author, screenwriter and filmmaker. The Last Kings of Hollywood: The Battle for the Soul of American Cinema is available online and in bookstores now. Anna Bogutskaya is a film critic, programmer and author of Feeding The Monster.

In an episode that is both unconventional and textbook for The Fear of God, we continue our examination of societal and individual deterioration by exploring Francis Ford Coppola's landmark 1979 film APOCALYPSE NOW (specifically, the version known as THE FINAL CUT).Apocalypse Now was loosely based on Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad and set in the Vietnam war. It tells the story of a mercenary soldier (Martin Sheen) who is tasked to travel deep into the heart of Cambodia to find and assassinate the rogue Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando). Along the way he encounters a parade of human experiences, from bloodthirsty militarists (Robert Duvall) and French expats to civilian casualties and an extravagant USO show. He will also inevitably confront the landscape of his own soul and be forced to face how shattered it has become through the addictive torment of war.We're joined by Father Josh Bowron to dig into the cinematic, spiritual, and cultural aspects of Coppola's astonishing film. We unpack the different ways our addictions to combat manifest; and we directly tackle the distortions that politics and power can create for the perspective of the Christian faith. It's one of our more bold and robust conversations, but also thoughtful and vulnerable. We really hope you'll join us and we hope you enjoy it.Patron Only Segment: Stump Reed3:56 - APOCALYPSE NOWSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
SEASON 2 - EPISODE 203 John Schwartzman - Cinematographer In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with cinematographer John Schwartzman (THE HOUSEMAID, THE HIGHWAYMEN, THE ROCK). John has worked on numerous high-budget, highly commercial films throughout his career, and we spend much of the episode discussing his approach to his work on those movies and his process overall. John's father, an entertainment lawyer for the likes of Stanley Kubrick and Hal Ashby, married into the Coppola filmmaking family while John was just a teenager, and we learn how John leveraged this connection and his skills at board games to win letters of recommendation from his uncle Francis Ford Coppola and friend-of-the-family George Lucas. We also discuss how John draws on his upbringing to help actors feel comfortable during a shoot, and he reflects on how he satisfies his creative needs in modern Hollywood. John also shares the pivotal pieces of advice he received from cinematographers such as Conrad Hall and Caleb Deschanel (Season 1, Episode 86) that instilled confidence in him, and we learn how and why he failed out of USC.

In her groundbreaking new film, Pomegranate, Iraqi American writer and director Weam Namou reveals the messy, humorous and heartbreaking reality of what happens when immigrants who fled the same country argue with each other over the American Dream. Widely recognized as the first Iraqi American feature film, Pomegranate has swept over 50 international film awards and caught the eye of Home Alone producer Scott Rosenfelt, who came on board as executive producer. Watch a recent interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vp62vQ7O4m8. View the movie trailer here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=usBH2x72t0Q. (Screeners are available upon request for qualified media.) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE First Iraqi American Feature Film Uses Humor and Heart to Explore Cultural Divides in Suburban Detroit “This is a groundbreaking, worthwhile story. It is intriguing and culturally needed, especially during this time.” — Scott Rosenfelt, Home Alone producer and executive producer of Pomegranate STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich., June 30, 2026 — What happens when people who fled the same country struggle to coexist on the same street in America? Iraqi American filmmaker and author Weam Namou explores this raw, timely question in Pomegranate, her multiple award-winning feature film based on her own novel and set in suburban Detroit, where political, cultural and religious tensions collide among two communities rarely portrayed together on screen: Iraqi Muslim and Chaldean Christian. Executive produced by Home Alone producer Scott Rosenfelt, Pomegranate is widely regarded as the first narrative feature film written, directed and led by an Iraqi American creative team. Pomegranate follows Niran, a young Muslim immigrant adapting to life in America after moving into a conservative Iraqi Christian neighborhood in suburban Detroit just before the 2016 presidential election. As political tensions intensify, everyday interactions become loaded with fear, misunderstanding and competing ideas about identity, faith and belonging. “I wrote Pomegranate after witnessing tensions between the political left and right intensify during the 2016 presidential election,” Namou said. “Using the communities I know best, Chaldean Christian and Muslim, I wanted to humanize both sides. Instead of adding to the noise, I chose story as a way to explore identity, faith, division and the possibility of understanding.” While rooted in Iraqi immigrant experiences, the film addresses themes familiar to many Americans: cultural identity, generational conflict, political polarization and the struggle to maintain relationships amid division. Considered a dramedy, Pomegranate approaches serious topics with warmth, humor and vulnerability rather than ideology, creating space for audiences to see unfamiliar communities through a human lens. The project first gained recognition as a quarterfinalist in Francis Ford Coppola's American Zoetrope competition before going on to win more than 50 international film awards. “The title itself represents the message,” Namou explained. “A pomegranate contains many separate seeds inside one body. Even the word itself carries symbolism. Its name traces back to a shared ancient Semitic root found in Hebrew, Aramaic and Arabic, reflecting the interconnected heritage of the region. Beneath our religious and political identities, we are often more alike than we realize.” Pomegranate is currently streaming in 25 countries on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, YouTube and additional platforms through distributor Freestyle Digital Media (https://www.freestyledigitalmedia.tv/film/pomegranate//).

“Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold.” Join Ian, Kev & Liam for our 339th episode as we rumble with Greasers, dodge the Socs, and revisit Francis Ford Coppola's adaptation of S.E. Hinton's The Outsiders (1983). Megs isn't with us this week — she was offered membership of both the Socs and the Greasers, refused to pick a side, and is currently attempting to negotiate peace between the two gangs over a chocolate milkshake. This week we discuss: The extraordinary young cast — before they became household names. Cruise, Swayze, Estevez, Dillon, Macchio, Howell... has there ever been a more stacked ensemble of future stars? Coppola's adaptation — does the film successfully capture the heart of the novel, or is something lost in the transition from page to screen? We spend far too long talking about the World Cup — and somehow convince ourselves it's completely relevant. (It probably isn't.) Ian, Liam and Kev decide whether they're Socs or Greasers — and discover that class identity may not be quite as straightforward as they first thought. The floating heads... — artistic flourish, bizarre distraction, or one of the strangest stylistic choices in a major studio film? Ian breaks down the film's coming-of-age themes — brotherhood, identity, and why the smallest moments often carry the greatest emotional weight. Liam explores masculinity in the film — toughness, vulnerability, and whether The Outsiders was quietly ahead of its time. Kev weighs in on the rivalries — are the Socs and Greasers really that different, or are they simply products of circumstance? The "show vs tell" balance — does the narration enhance Ponyboy's story, or does the film work best when it simply lets the performances breathe? The church sequence — heroism, tragedy, and why one of cinema's most memorable moments is still so emotionally effective. The ending — hopeful, bittersweet, or quietly heartbreaking? Does Coppola earn the emotion without overplaying it? And finally, whether The Outsiders is the Best Film Ever — or simply one of the finest coming-of-age dramas ever committed to film.

Francis Ford Coppola conoció a su mujer Eleanor en el rodaje de bajo presupuesto de 'Demencia 13'. Décadas después, en el rodaje de 'Apocalypse Now' en Filipinas, su vida de pareja quedó marcada por cuatro ingredientes de caos: recursos familiares puestos en riesgo, un exceso de medios y dinero, el morbo de la prensa, y extrañas conjuras supersticiosas para atraer la suerte. Y esos mismos cuatro ingredientes se repitieron en el rodaje de 'Megalópolis', la película que Coppola llevaba décadas queriendo hacer. Se estrena ahora en España 'Megadoc', el documental de Mike Figgis sobre aquel caos. Lo comentamos con Carlos Alsina, Rubén Amón, Rosa Belmonte, Guillermo Altares, Sergio del Molino y Nacho Vigalondo.

We settle a question every filmmaker has cursed at some point: which camera brands actually let your batteries last — and which strand you the moment you upgrade? Nino goes brand by brand, ranking the best and worst for battery longevity, from Canon's decade-proof LP-E6 to the fragmentation that leaves Insta360 owners buying new cells with every generation. Then: the man who invented the stabilized camera. Garrett Brown — the mind behind the Steadicam — is finally getting a documentary backed by Francis Ford Coppola, and it's a reminder of just how much one person changed the way movies move. Plus ARRI's new Alexa 35 Live Xtreme, a tiny $200 pocket camera that came out of nowhere, a new electronic variable ND, fresh lights from Godox, iPhone lenses from Tilta, and the free, filmmaker-built apps quietly reshaping post-production.

Steven Spielberg films. Sarah Watt, Jeremy Downing and William Chen discuss Disclosure Day (2026) and Minority Report (2002), two Science Fiction films directed by cinema great Steven Spielberg. Our conversation begin by unpacking our reactions to and judgements of Disclosure Day, including how the film connects to or doesn't connect to the real-world pressures of today. We praise the performances of Eve Hewson and Emily Blunt, with mixed reactions to Josh O'Connor, Wyatt Russell and Coleman Domingo. We discuss the ineptitude from the super agents in both films. Our conversation moves to Minority Report and praise the performances of Colin Farrell, Samantha Morton, Max von Sydow, Time Blake Nelson, Peter Stormare and, of course, Tom Cruise. We discuss the cinematography of both films, the work of Janusz Kaminski. We make the connection between Steven Spielberg's later work and the careers of Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese.

“Sound is a really important part of how I make movies because I always tell people that if the sound is good and the picture is bad, then you'll stick around to see what happens. However, if the sound is terrible and the picture is great, you're out of there in like ten minutes. So sound is something that I always cherish. And I think that the right filmmaker who appreciates sound can really take advantage of what we think about and use, you know, the viewer's imagination. A lot of film pictures start off in black and, you know, they just have the sound, so they really grab the audience's attention right from the beginning. So sound is just such a powerful medium.” – Jayson JohnsonThis week's guest is a filmmaker and the founder of Strike Five Films, an independent production company dedicated to authentic, character-driven storytelling. A graduate of Eastern Illinois University, he began his career under the mentorship of Francis Ford Coppola, working on the Wine, Daydreams & Memories tour before producing over 1,400 hours of broadcast television for Discovery ID. Since founding Strike Five Films in 2017, he's written, directed, and produced nine short films that have screened at more than ninety festivals worldwide, earning six awards. His work has been featured in numerous media outlets and is defined by themes of perseverance, community, and creativity.He's currently in pre-production on his debut feature, R.O.G.E.R & Me, an offbeat, heartfelt film rooted in Richmond, CA, while continuing to mentor emerging filmmakers and expand his mission of fusing storytelling, social impact, and independent artistry. His name is Jayson Johnson, and if you've ever wondered how intentional sound can elevate storytelling and make a lasting impact on audiences, you won't want to miss Jayson's behind-the-scenes insights and practical tips.As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes.

I would so appreciate that.(00:00) – How Sound Captivates AudiencesWe start things off with the vivid impression sound made on Jayson as a child, and how it led him to a career in filmmaking. “One of the memories I have as a child,” he recalls, “is, you know, you're sound asleep, and then all of a sudden, the vacuum cleaner goes on… that was kind of like an alarm clock for us, you know, because we always had chores.” He tells us more about his influences growing up and how a lifelong love of movies became a calling. “When I went to college,” he explains, “I had no idea what I wanted to do, so I signed up with Speech Communication, and they had a discipline of Radio, TV, and Film. And I just tried out everything.”(11:27) – Sound Techniques in FilmmakingJayson tells us more about his early years in the industry and how a chance job opening led to an encounter with Sofia and Francis Ford Coppola. “I put out all these resumes, I don't even know how many I put out,” he tells us. “Probably a hundred or so. No one called me except for this one place, and I said, ‘Oh, it's a winery. I'll go there.' And it happened to be Francis Coppola Winery.” He recalls his work on Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, and the lessons about sound that Marin Scorsese's classic Goodfellas taught him to apply to his own films. “We see the cars explode,” he explains, “and Scorsese wants the audience to feel the emotion of that scene by not saying anything and just adding that little pause in there and, you know, letting the audience feel the gravity of the moment.”Episode SummaryExploring how silence enhances emotional depth in storytelling.Jayson discusses the sound techniques he's used in his films.Tune in for next week's episode as we talk about how music can transform a film, both for better and for worse, his thoughts about the emergence of AI videos and virtual celebrities like Tilly Norwood, and why he considers sound to be the first step in his creative process as a filmmaker.Connect with the Audio Branding Podcast:Book your project with Voice Overs and Vocals by visiting https://voiceoversandvocals.comConnect with me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jodikrangle/Watch the Audio Branding Podcast on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JodiKrangleVOConnect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodikrangle/Leave the Audio Branding Podcast a review at https://lovethepodcast.com/audiobranding (Thank you!)Share your passion effectively with these Tips for Sounding Your Best as a Podcast Guest!https://voiceoversandvocals.com/tips-for-sounding-your-best-as-a-podcast-guest/Get my Top Five Tips for Implementing an Intentional Audio Strategyhttps://voiceoversandvocals.com/audio-branding-strategy/Editing/Production by Humberto Franco - https://humbertofranco.com/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy
Chris Paul and Burning Bright close out the trilogy with Francis Ford Coppola's much maligned 1990 finale The Godfather Part III, now known as The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone. Starring Al Pacino, Andy Garcia, Diane Keaton, and George Hamilton, the film tracks Michael's failed attempt to leave the criminal world by going legitimate through a foundation and a Vatican real estate deal, while his nephew Vincent (Sonny's bastard son) rises as the next generational vessel for the family's worldly pursuits. The guys argue this one gets a bad rap and is actually a fitting close to the saga's core thesis, which is that you cannot reform a system from inside the system. They dig into the Vatican as a higher mafia than even Capitol Hill, foundations and philanthropy as the next evolution of the illusion of legitimacy, the Sicilian vendetta as an example of how honor cultures decay into rule sets when the original meaning is forgotten, and Michael's spiritual confusion when he confesses to Cardinal Lamberto and still believes worldly steps can undo damnation. From there they go big picture on systems as self perpetuating organisms, the bag man problem and why this many people can't be in on it is a nonsense argument, NGOs as criminal shielding structures, and whether bringing back a monarchy with a real value bloodline would actually be more honest than the bureaucratic illusion we live under.

Amartya, Varun, Cris, and Arjun conclude the Spielberg Sci-Fi series with the release of "Disclosure Day". This final (spoiler-filled) episode looks at how the film exists in conversation with his filmography, whether expectations were met, and how honest the message at its heart is. Divergent opinions are shared, along with equal parts of admiration and frustration.One of them (sorry, Arjun) is left to fend for themselves, necessary comparisons are made to Francis Ford Coppola's "Megalopolis", and a genuine discussion on the existence of the 'third kind' is had.MAJOR SPOILERS FOR "DISCLOSURE DAY".TIME CODESIntro (& Alien Talk) - [00:00 - 13:34]Initial Thoughts - [13:34 - 29:23]"Disclosure Day" - [29:23 - 01:26:34]Outro - [01:26:34 - 01:28:29]Do hit 'Follow' on Spotify if you haven't already to help the podcast reach more people!Follow our Instagram page: https://instagram.com/queenisdead.filmpodcast.You can follow us on Letterboxd at -CRIS: https://letterboxd.com/crislim/.VARUN: https://letterboxd.com/varunoakbhakay/.AMARTYA: https://letterboxd.com/amartya/.ARJUN: https://letterboxd.com/arjun_skumar1/.
Chris Paul and Burning Bright tackle Francis Ford Coppola's 1974 sequel The Godfather Part II, considered by many to be the greatest film of all time and certainly the greatest sequel. Starring Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, and John Cazale as the unforgettable Fredo, this is one of the rare second installments that completely flips the tone of the original and absolutely earns it. The conversation circles the dual storylines of young Vito building an empire from immigrant nothing in New York and Michael unraveling the same empire from inside his Tahoe compound. Burning Bright argues that De Niro's Vito chases power because he saw what power does to people, while Michael only knows how to hold onto power he was handed, making him a pale shadow of his father even as he ascends to greater heights. They unpack the Fanucci scene as a perfect lesson in how abstract power collapses the moment someone calls the bluff, the Hyman Roth and Meyer Lansky parallel with Cuba in 1958 as a preview of what may be coming again, the Joker analog for Michael's endgame of just winning, and Kay's spite abortion as a stunning window into how openly anti family the 1970s really were.
What does it really take to become a filmmaker? In this episode of Barely Living the Dream, filmmaker Jayson Johnson shares his incredible journey from growing up in Illinois to working for legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, making award-winning short films, and developing his first feature film, Roger and Me. Jayson discusses how a chance opportunity at Coppola's winery changed the course of his life, the lessons he learned from crowdfunding, navigating film festivals, building a filmmaking career in the Bay Area, and why aspiring filmmakers should stop waiting for the perfect moment and just start creating. We also dive into: * Working with Francis Ford Coppola * Making short films on a shoestring budget * Film festival successes and failures * The realities of crowdfunding * Building a filmmaking network * Why Los Angeles wasn't the right fit * Creating films outside Hollywood * The inspiration behind his upcoming feature film Roger and Me * Advice for aspiring filmmakers in the age of AI Whether you're an indie filmmaker, screenwriter, content creator, or movie lover, this conversation offers an honest look at the challenges and rewards of pursuing a creative career.
This is undoubtedly one of the most popular and highly acclaimed Best Picture winners in the history of the Academy Awards. And it makes sense. There is so much to love about Francis Ford Coppola's epic about family, loyalty, redemption, violence ... and so much more. After more than 50 years, The Godfather remains a brilliant piece of cinema that never gets old. Looking back, was it deserving of the Best Picture Oscar from all the films released in 1972?

Janek Ambros is a filmmaker, producer, writer, and founder of Assembly Line Entertainment whose work has screened in connection with major festivals including Sundance, Venice, SXSW, and TIFF. As both a producer and director, he has built a career balancing the creative and business sides of independent filmmaking while helping bring a wide range of projects to life. In this episode, we discuss Janek's unconventional path from studying economics and interning at Morgan Stanley to building his own production company and producing award-winning independent films. We talk about his documentaries IMMINENT THREAT and MONDO HOLLYWOODLAND, the importance of editing as a storytelling tool, and why producing other filmmakers' work helped shape his perspective as a director. We also dive into the collaborative spirit of the legendary "Film Brat" generation, the influence of filmmakers like Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Paul Thomas Anderson, and James Cameron, and the current state of independent cinema. Janek shares his thoughts on practical effects versus CGI, the future of moviegoing, why comedy films have become increasingly difficult to make, and the importance of building communities of filmmakers who support one another. As always, we close the conversation with Janek's two favorite movie scenes and the lessons filmmakers can learn from them. Hosted by Zef Cota Produced by Cole Howard

Chris Paul and Burning Bright finally sit down with Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 masterpiece The Godfather, based on the Mario Puzo novel and starring Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Robert Duvall, and Diane Keaton. Both guys came to it fresh, with Burning Bright admitting he had never even watched it before this episode, and walked away convinced it absolutely lives up to its legendary reputation. The conversation centers on the changing of the guard from Vito's old world honor culture to Michael's coldly pragmatic zero sum game, with Sonny stuck as a will without tact and Tom Hagen as the official interpreter who fails because the rule set itself is dying. They dig into the controlled opposition between honor and business as two different justifications for chasing the same worldly prize, why both sides are spiritually bankrupt, and how Vito's actual power projection in his youth is what makes his soft power work as an old man. From there they go big picture on Donald Trump as Vito (and maybe as Michael), narrative warfare as the prime lever of power rather than an ancillary tool, mandate cultivation versus mandate manufacturing, the horse head as the perfect actual narrative fusion, and why don't insult my intelligence is finally where the audience is landing on the regime.
What are the greatest space movies of all time? On this episode of The Next Reel, Lance Taylor and Tyler Johns count down their personal Top 5 space-themed movies, debating the sci-fi classics, blockbuster adventures and cinematic experiences that best capture the mystery, danger and spectacle of outer space. Before the countdown, Lance and Tyler recap what they watched over the weekend. Tyler shares his thoughts on the new theatrical Star Wars adventure, Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, and whether seeing Din Djarin and Grogu on the big screen brings the franchise back to the fundamentals that made it special. He also reviews the horror movie Passenger and explains why its pacing and repeated jump scares missed the mark. Lance discusses Billy Wilder's film noir classic Double Indemnity, revisits the Academy Award-winning Amadeus, and breaks down Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse, the documentary about Francis Ford Coppola's chaotic production of Apocalypse Now. Plus, a harmless night watching Homeland somehow ends with red wine in Maddie's eyes. Then it is time for the main event: Lance and Tyler each reveal their Top 5 movies set in space. Which films made the cut? Which selections caused the biggest debate? And did they agree on the number one space movie ever made?

He started playing the drums when he was 12 years old joined the band Curved air in 1974 then started the band the Police in 1977 which went on to sell over 75 million albums, win 6 grammy awards be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame and be one of the biggest bands in the world. After the Police he started work as a composer creating film scores for Francis Ford Coppola and Oliver Stone. Then he started scoring video games like Spyro. Over the last two years he's been traveling the world telling stories on a spoken word tour called "Have I said Too Much." We condensed about 50 years of absolutely legendary work into three sentences. There are about 5 million other things that could be listed. But Stewart is coming to Florida and before he does he was nice enough to stop by the show! Doc and Stew talk about how the tour compares to his biography, how he structures his show, what kinds of questions the audience asks, recording synchronicity, Sting's musical ability, working with Francis Ford Coppola, stealing a joint from Paul McCartney, creating Oysterhead with Les Claypool and so much more! Meanwhile on the rest of the show Doc draws a deep line in the sand. If you have more than 2 syllables in your name and refuse to be called a nickname...you. are. wrong. Make sure to listen!

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today we talk about a truly underrated star: Laurence Fishburne! Our B-Sides include: Bad Company, Fled, Hoodlum, and Biker Boyz. Conor and guest host Mitchell Beaupre discuss Fishburne's early work, his movie star run (the mid-90s, of which three of our B-Sides are a part of!), and the roles he passed on over the years. They debate whether or not Kevin Hooks' Fled (a ‘90s take on The Defiant Ones) is worth the watch, if Oliver Parker's Othello works as a movie, and that other time Fishburne played a character based on famous gangster Bumpy Johnson (that would be Francis Ford Coppola's underrated The Cotton Club). There's a celebration of Bill Duke's directorial career (the legendary actor made Hoodlum and also Deep Cover, both starring Fishburne) and a conversation about Biker Boyz internal conflict in being a Fast & Furious movie.
Three short films about New Yorkers: the relationship of an artist and his assistant falls apart; a very young rich girl has adventures; a lawyer's relationship falls apart when his mother disappears during a magic show. It's an uneven collection, as anthology films often are: Scorsese's "Life Lessons" is a savage look at exploitation, Coppola's "Life Without Zoe" is a middling children's film, and Allen's "Oedipus Wrecks" is a pretty standard Woody Allen sketch. Starring Nick Nolte, Rosanna Arquette, Steve Buscemi, Talia Shire, Mia Farrow, Julie Kavner, Mae Questel, and Woody Allen. Written by RIchard Price, Francis Ford Coppola, Sophia Coppola, and Woody Allen. Directed by Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, and Woody Allen.
Woah we watched two gothic romance Draculas and we are talking about them! Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula from 1992, and the recent Luc Besson Dracula: A Love Tale. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We close House of Kurosawa with Kagemusha (1980), where a thief becomes body double for a dying warlord and learns pretending to be powerful is harder than having it. Made with support from George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola, Kurosawa crafted a meditation on identity and performance. The color is stunning, the battle sequences are chaos, and the film asks whether anyone can tell the difference between a real leader and a convincing fake. It's slow, beautiful, and punishing cinema about impostors and power.
Production problems—among them bad weather, actors' poor health, and other issues—delayed the filming of Apocalypse Now, increasing costs and nearly destroying the life and career of its director, Francis Ford Coppola.

Hollywood Godfather is Gianni Russo's over-the-top memoir of a real-life mobster-turned-actor who helped make The Godfather a reality, and his story of life on the edge between danger and glamour. Gianni Russo was a handsome 25-year-old mobster with no acting experience when he walked onto the set of The Godfather and entered Hollywood history. He played Carlo Rizzi, the husband of Connie Corleone, who set her brother Sonny―played by James Caan―up for a hit. Russo didn't have to act―he knew the mob inside and out: from his childhood in Little Italy, where Mafia legend Frank Costello took him under his wing, to acting as a messenger for New Orleans mob boss Carlos Marcello during the Kennedy assassination, to having to go on the lam after shooting and killing a member of the Colombian drug cartel in his Vegas club. Along the way, Russo befriended Frank Sinatra, who became his son's godfather, and Marlon Brando, who mentored his career as an actor after trying to get Francis Ford Coppola to fire him from The Godfather. Russo had passionate affairs with Marilyn Monroe, Liza Minelli, and scores of other celebrities. He went on to become a producer and starred in The Godfather: Parts I and II, Seabiscuit, Any Given Sunday and Rush Hour 2, among many other films.Hollywood Godfather is a no-holds-barred account of a life filled with violence, glamour, sex―and fun.https://amzn.to/4tRynurBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Your support keeps this project going and keeps us editorially independent. Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman break down a national address from Donald Trump that played out like a second-grader trying to fake his way through a book report. Between the threats to bomb Iran back to the Stone Age and the bizarre claim that the Strait of Hormuz will just "naturally" reopen, the performance was a desperate attempt to stall for time as market futures cratered. The conversation digs into the grim reality behind the rhetoric, featuring an administration paralyzed by the choice between a catastrophic ground war and a global economic depression. We also look at the exit of Pam Bondi from the DOJ. Whether it's a mutual destruction pact over the Epstein files or a move to bring in a more aggressive interim AG like Todd Blanche, the corruption is out in the open. The episode also covers the Supreme Court battle over birthright citizenship, the Chinese hack of the FBI's surveillance systems, and the psychosexual disaster of the modern GOP—specifically the "bimbo-ification" and roleplay scandals surrounding Brian and Kristi Noem. To wrap things up, the guys share their Weekender recommendations, including a look at the chaotic documentary chronicling the disaster of Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis.
