The Outsiders borders somewhere between odd, melodramatic and outstanding. Francis Ford Coppola helms this teen drama about the age-old tale of class warfare. This time it's 1962 Tulsa, Oklahoma and the "socs" and the "greasers" routinely clash, but are they really that different?

Robin Williams plays a 10-year-old boy who looks like a 40-year-old man in the 1996 Francis Ford Coppola film Jack—a movie that wants to be a dramedy but is actually a body horror flick about boomers and their mortality.

Description:Some families run on rules nobody ever wrote down. Here is your role. Here is what we talk about. Here is who gets forgiven and who gets blamed. We accept those terms as children, and then one day we look up and wonder who exactly signed us up for the job.August's Jen Hatmaker Book Club pick is Little Monsters, and Adrienne Brodeur came with the whole story behind it. She spent thirty years on the other side of the pen, co-founding Zoetrope: All-Story with Francis Ford Coppola, editing at HMH Books, judging the National Book Award, and now running Aspen Words. She published one novel of her own in 2005, then waited fourteen years for the next book, a memoir that broke a silence she had kept since she was fourteen.Adrienne and Jen get into the unspoken rules every family runs on, why estrangement takes love rather than indifference, and what Cain and Abel taught her about the gifts we give our parents. Adrienne explains why fiction can feel more honest than memoir, makes an unpopular case for Ken, and talks about writing mania with compassion rather than spectacle. Plus the stack of books a stepmother handed her that redirected her whole life, the screenplay she is writing, and the book club's standing offer to cast the movie.***Thought-provoking Quotes:He's wounded, and wounded people wound. – Adrienne BrodeurUnderstanding someone isn't quite the same as absolving them. – Adrienne BrodeurFiction can sometimes feel more honest than memoir. I don't mean factual honesty. I mean emotionally unguarded. – Adrienne BrodeurWho the hell decided that peacemaker was my job, or golden child, or secret keeper, or difficult one? – Adrienne BrodeurTurns out dead mothers still have an excellent work ethic. – Adrienne BrodeurEveryone wanted a flat version of themselves. – Jen HatmakerWe have family stories that we're telling too, even believing, that we're trying to believe. – Jen HatmakerSome of our characters landed on their feet, but they landed on their feet in a different zip code. – Jen HatmakerResources Mentioned in This Episode:Little Monsters by Adrienne Brodeur - https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Little-Monsters/Adrienne-Brodeur/9781982198114Little Monsters book club discussion questions - https://www.readinggroupguides.com/reviews/little-monsters-by-adrienne-brodeur/guideWild Game: My Mother, Her Lover, and Me by Adrienne Brodeur - https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/wild-game-adrienne-brodeur/1130010789Man Camp by Adrienne Brodeur - https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B001HN38FIAspen Words at the Aspen Institute - https://www.aspeninstitute.org/people/adrienne-brodeur/Zoetrope: All-Story, co-founded with Francis Ford CoppolaGuest's Links:Adrienne's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/adriennebrodeur/Adrienne's Faceboo ...

The essential biography of the influential and beloved filmmaker George Lucas. On May 25, 1977, a problem-plagued, budget-straining independent science-fiction film opened in a mere thirty-two American movie theaters. Conceived, written, and directed by a little-known filmmaker named George Lucas, the movie originally called The Star Wars quickly drew blocks-long lines, bursting box-office records and ushering in a new way for movies to be made, marketed, and merchandised. It is now one of the most adored–and successful–movie franchises of all time. Now, the author of the bestselling biography Jim Henson delivers a revelatory look into the life and times of the man who created Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Indiana Jones in George Lucas: A Life (Little, Brown and Company, 2016) If Star Wars wasn't game-changing enough, Lucas went on to create another blockbuster series with Indiana Jones, and he completely transformed the world of special effects and the way movies sound. His innovation and ambition forged Pixar and Lucasfilm, Industrial Light & Magic, and THX sound. Lucas's colleagues and competitors offer tantalizing glimpses into his life. His entire career has been stimulated by innovators including Steven Spielberg and Francis Ford Coppola, actors such as Harrison Ford, and the very technologies that enabled the creation of his films-and allowed him to keep tinkering with them long after their original releases. Like his unforgettable characters and stories, his influence is unmatched. Brian Jay Jones is the author of the New York Times bestseller Jim Henson: The Biography, as well as Becoming Dr. Seuss: Theodor Geisel and the Making of An American Imagination and Washington Irving: An American Original. His most recent book is The Capitol: The Surprising Biography of an American Building. He continues to believe that Han shot first. Daniel Moran's writing about literature and film can be found on Pages and Frames. He earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University. The author of Creating Flannery O'Connor: Her Critics, Her Publishers, Her Readers, he teaches writing and co-hosts the long-running podcast Fifteen-Minute Film Fanatics, available here on the New Books Network and wherever podcasts are found.

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.

And what better way to commemorate 700 episodes than with three movies from the 1970's? Alright, two movies from the 70's and one move from the early 80's but feels decidedly 70's. Up first, Francis Ford Coppola directs Gene Hackman as a surveillance specialist who gets caught up in the intrigue of the couple he's spying on in 1974's The Conversation, with appearances from Harrison Ford, Frederic Forrest, Cindy Williams and Teri Garr.Next, a decorated WWII solider comes home to his struggling family farm, but soon gets entangled in a revenge plot at the behest of a wealthy gambler in The Farmer from 1977. And finally, a colorful cast of celebrities, including Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, Farrah Fawcett, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Adrienne Barbeau and Jackie Chan (among many others) compete in a cross-country road race where wacky hijinks ensue in Hal Needham's Cannonball Run from 1981.All this plus Sean gets smoked out, news about The Devils returning to theaters uncut this year, R.I.P Damon Zex, tips for buying weed at Subway, a new What We Do in the Shadows movie in the works, A24 goes A.I. and so much more!LISTEN NOW!MP3 Direct DonloydAlso, if you like the show, please take a minute and subscribe and/or comment on us on iTunes, Stitcher, Blubrry or Podfeed.net.

“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.
Don't Kill the Messenger with movie research expert Kevin Goetz
Send Kevin a Text MessageSid Ganis, former President of the Motion Picture Group at Paramount Pictures, former Vice Chairman of Columbia Pictures, and four-term President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, joins host Kevin Goetz for a wide-ranging conversation spanning more than five decades in Hollywood. Ganis traces his path from an office-boy job won through a chance connection, to marketing campaigns for The Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Ark, to greenlighting Ghost and Fatal Attraction, and to acquiring the rights to Forrest Gump during his years running Paramount.Brooklyn Roots and Greek Jewish Heritage (03:14): Ganis traces his Romaniote Jewish heritage to Ioannina, Greece, and his grandparents' flight to New York's Lower East Side. Ganis recalls his first solo trip to the movies, seeing Gunga Din for 25 cents at a neighborhood theater.Quitting College and a Lucky Break (08:50): After dropping out of Brooklyn College, Ganis landed his first publicity job thanks to a chance connection from his Uncle Phil.Joining 20th Century Fox (12:57): Ganis describes his early years in publicity, working for Lee Solters and later joining Fox while Cleopatra was in production.Working with Joseph L. Mankiewicz (17:44): Ganis remembers collaborating with the director years later and calls him one of Hollywood's greats.Testing Ghost (28:01): Ganis shares a test-screening story from Ghost that captures how unpredictable audiences can be.Meeting George Lucas and Joining Lucasfilm (31:34): Ganis recalls being introduced to a young George Lucas by Francis Ford Coppola, then later joining Lucasfilm as Empire Strikes Back went into production.Marketing Raiders of the Lost Ark and Meeting Nancy (33:40): While promoting Raiders of the Lost Ark, Ganis met his future wife, Nancy Hult, through a PBS fundraiser project that later won him an Emmy.Columbia Pictures and a Career in Marketing (37:20): Recruited to Columbia by Peter Guber and Jon Peters, Ganis explains why he stayed in marketing rather than move into production.Four Terms as Academy President (42:26): Ganis reflects on his proudest achievement: spearheading the 17-year effort to build the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.Sid Ganis's career is a reminder that cultivating relationships and a willingness to stay close to the audience can carry someone through every era of a changing industry. In his own words, his story is one of gratitude for the people who opened doors for him, and for a business he never stopped loving.Host: Kevin GoetzGuest: Sid GanisProducer: Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, Nick Nunez, and Kari CampanoAudio Engineer: Gary Forbes (DG Entertainment)For more information about Sid Ganis:Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sid_GanisIMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0304398/Variety: https://variety.com/exec/sid-ganis/For more information about Kevin Goetz:- Website: www.KevinGoetz360.com- Audienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678- How to Score in Hollywood: https://www.amazon.com/How-Score-Hollywood-Secrets-Business/dp/198218986X/- Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack: @KevinGoetz360- LinkedIn @Kevin Goetz- Screen Engine/ASI Website: www.ScreenEngineASI.com
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
Dave, Eric, and special guest Melissa discuss Francis Ford Coppola's insane passion project, Megalopolis.
