Podcast appearances and mentions of Frank Darabont

From playing army on his boyhood farm to portraying some of film's more memorable characters, Bill Sadler's journey proves that great storytelling often begins in the simplest places.Bill and Weezy kick things off with shared memories of growing up in the Buffalo, NY area, where running through the woods, horsing around in the hay loft and inventing games, laid the foundation for Bill's future in storytelling. He launched his performance career with a standup comedy character he created called“Banjo Bill,” who led to a high school teacher encouraging Bill to play the lead role in the school's production of Harvey. By age 18, Bill had shared the stage with a banjo and an invisible rabbit and he was hooked on theater.After studying at SUNY Geneseo and Cornell, Bill immersed himself in the New York theater scene, starring in 75 productions over the course of 12 years and making his way to Broadway in Biloxi Blue! He shares the skinny on working with Neil Simon,  where constant rewrites were both challenging and thrillingly hilarious.The conversation turns to some of Bill's most iconic screen roles, including The Shawshank Redemption. He describes director Frank Darabont's vision of a true ensemble and the A game expected from that stellar cast. Bill reminds us that the film closed in three weeks and only Oscar nominations and audiences discovering its brilliance led to its eventual cultural impact and enduring legacy.He also discusses stepping into his villainous Die Hard 2 role following Alan Rickman's iconic fall from the grace of Die Hard 1. Bill also shares a behind-the-scenes moment when force of childhood habit had him ruing takes with his own machine gun sound effects!Fans of Bill & Ted will appreciate Bill's Grim Reaper hot takes and his confession that in the decades between films, he developed an allergy to the makeup required for the role. So, yes, Bill is allergic to death.The episode closes with a look at Bill's latest work, the short film The Last Days of Byron Bray, which studies a love interest of Leonard  Bernstein. Bill calls it his finest acting to date.And in IMDB Roulette: How the Fonz made Shakespeare cool, Newhart slapstick and The Cartoon President provide the laughter that keeps us from crying.Current media recommendations--Weezy: The Way Home Season 4 on Netflix, Hallmark, Hallmark+ and PrimeProducer Dina: The Boroughs on NetflixPath Points of Interest:William Sadler Fan SiteWilliam Sadler on WikipediaWilliam Sadler on IMDBWilliam Sadler on FacebookWilliam Sadler on XThe Last Days of Byron BrayThe BoroughsThe Way Home Season 4

Now that The Dark Tower is out of the way, it's time to dive into perhaps author Stephen King's most well regarded book of stories -or novellas- Different Seasons. But before we get to Apt Pupil and Stand By Me, we review the adaptation of the first story in the volume, a little film called The Shawshank Redemption. With Rob Reiner (eventually) giving first time feature director Frank Darabont the chance to adapt the story (called Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption in the book), the film came out…and hit with a thud. That is, until that year's Oscar nominations and Ted Turner's network TNT got into the act. Suddenly, Shawshank was being played multiple times a year, exposing the film to dads everywhere, and eventually becoming the number one rated film on IMDB. Now, The Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast puts the Morgan Freeman/Tim Robbins film to the test! Will everyone, including noted King pessimist Adam, agree with the IMDB score?

“I'm tired, boss.” Join Ian, Liam, Megs & Kev for our 323rd episode as we walk the long corridor, sit with miracles, and confront justice, compassion, and cruelty in Frank Darabont's The Green Mile (1999). It's heavy, it's heartfelt, and yes — we all know what's coming… but that doesn't make it any easier. This week we discuss: Michael Clarke Duncan's towering performance — gentle, tragic, otherworldly. Is John Coffey one of the most emotionally devastating characters ever put to screen? Tom Hanks as Paul Edgecomb — quiet authority, moral conflict, and the burden of knowing what's right when the system says otherwise. The film's central tension — justice versus legality. What happens when the law is wrong but must still be carried out? Megs explores the emotional mechanics — how the film earns its tears, and whether it ever crosses into manipulation. Ian breaks down Darabont's storytelling — classical structure, patient pacing, and why the film leans so heavily into sincerity. Liam questions if the film sacrifices characterisation for what the plot needs to occur Kev weighs in on the execution room and if the set designers missed a trick there The supporting cast — from Brutal to Percy. Who stands out, and who embodies the film's darkest impulses? The treatment of death row — humane, harrowing, and unflinching. Does the film confront or soften its reality? The ending — cathartic, crushing, or quietly haunting? What lingers after the final frame? And finally, whether The Green Mile is the Best Film Ever — or one of the most emotionally overwhelming films ever made.

Since I contain multitudes, have run out of ideas, and since I aspire the podcast to embody Paul Krassner's iconic satirical magazine The Realist's motto of "Irreverrance is our only sacred cow", I am debuting the first in a series of occasional episodes where I revisit those films so firmly ensconced in our collective filmgoing conscience that we can be forgiven for forgetting if they're actually, you know...any good. So let's start with one of the odder films to achieve cinematic immortality: Frank Darabont's adaptation of a Stephen King short story (not that you'd know that from the films marketing materials) 'The Shawshank Redemption". This film has so entrenched itself that one forgets that it was a bomb upon release, that audiences didn't know what to make of the title nor the trailer, that it was unloved by the Academy despite 7 nominations, and that six months after its release you'd be forgiven for thinking that it would disappear forever as a weird but understandable failed experiment. Except. The film became one of the most-rented video store films of all time, in the time of video stores. And when cable TV really took off in the 90's, there again was The Shawshank Redemption, appearing nightly somewhere.  Steven Speilberg called it his "Chewing gum movie" meaning that when you encounter it (step in it), you can't get rid of it and you end up watching the entire thing. Others have posited it as the primary example of a Relationship Movie For Me. Master & Commander being the other one.  Does Shawshank exist to allow men to cry? Or just to indulge their fear/fascination with prison rape? Or both? There's plenty of evidence to support all theories, so let's all get locked up with Shawshank, Andy, Red and the fellas and see whether this enduring, schmaltzy, effective weeper deserves a filmic pardon.

Hello! Welcome to another edition of the exclusive audio commentary podcast hosted by me, David Hughes.  On this episode, I'm delighted to be joined by my former Empire magazine colleague Ian Nathan, writer and director of The Thing Expanded, a brand new five-hour documentary about John Carpenter's The Thing that's as packed as the ice around Outpost 31. A follow-up to Ian's definitive documentary Aliens Expanded, The Thing Expanded boasts interviews with John Carpenter, Kurt Russell and many other members of the cast and crew, as well as superfans Guillermo del Toro and Frank Darabont. Naturally we decided to peg our conversation to The Thing itself, so feel free to watch along or enjoy it by itself if you know the film well. I learned quite a lot from this, and I'm sure you will too, but not as much as you will by getting the full picture with The Thing Expanded, available at TheThingExpanded.com Comments? Feedback?

CJ from You've Got Males is back for a glimpse at the time between when Frank Darabont was a great film maker and the time he was an OK TV maker.

Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, were tragically murdered over the weekend and the film community is still reeling. Reiner was not only a kind man, someone dedicated to protecting the rights and freedoms of everybody, and a talented filmmaker, he was one of the very few filmmakers that understood exactly how to translate Stephen King to the big screen. Author Nat Cassidy (The Wolf at the Door) and film commentator Drew McWeeny (The Hip Pocket Podcast) join Beznican and Vespe to discuss the tragic loss of Reiner and celebrate his massive contributions to the world of cinema, from his King adaptations Stand By Me, Misery, and The Shawshank Redemption (which he produced for Frank Darabont) to the genre defining classics This Is Spinal Tap, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, and A Few Good Men.

This week on Thumb War, we're deep into Stranger Things Season 5, breaking down Episodes 3 and 4 — The Turnbow Trap and The Sorcerer. We talk Frank Darabont's direction, the Upside Down's increasingly flexible rules, Hopper going full action hero, and whether the show's massive cast is finally working against itself. Plus: Karen Wheeler MVP discourse, Joyce complaints, Erica chaos, and a few extremely dumb (but fun) theories. Spoilers throughout. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

This week we explore Frank Darabont's sophomore feature The Green Mile (1999). As a follow up to the classic and beloved The Shawshank Redemption (1994), The Green Mile is more bleak, longer, and certainly more gruesome. However, it was an immediate box office success, and has stood the test of time as a beloved classic. Enjoy our review of this death row classic.   Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast hosted by Isaac Ransom, Juzo Greenwood, and Cameron Tuttle.

If you're a fan of SCREAM then you're going to want to pay attention to today's episode featuring none other than Stu Macher and Billy Loomis themselves, Matthew Lillard and Skeet Ulrich. They're appearing in the upcoming Five Nights At Freddy's 2 and they decided to stop by The Kingcast to talk about their love of King's work and specifically Frank Darabont's adaptation of The Shawshank Redemption. We also talk about their real life friendship, the stain that is toxic masculinity, working with Wes Craven on the original Scream, and even about Skeet's rather... interesting... appearance as a poster above Satan and Saddam Hussein's bed in South Park.

The Shawshank Redemption (1994) is a film that almost needs no introduction. From the All-Star leading duo of Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman, to the gorgeous cinematography of Roger Deakins, this film is undoubtedly iconic.

Step into late November with This Week in Horror History, the horror podcast that digs into the spooky anniversaries hiding between Thanksgiving and Christmas. In this episode, we dive into a full week of genre milestones for November 18–25, from cult slashers and gothic ghost stories to Stephen King adaptations, survival horror gaming, and a haunting cannibal romance.We kick things off at summer camp with Sleepaway Camp (1983), the infamous 1980s slasher movie whose shocking final twist made it a cult legend on VHS and a must-watch for every serious horror fan. Then we ride into the fog with Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow (1999), a stylish gothic horror film packed with headless-horseman mayhem, Hammer Horror vibes, and one of Johnny Depp's most beloved spooky roles.From there, we lock the supermarket doors and let The Mist (2007) roll in. This Stephen King horror movie traps terrified townspeople in a grocery store surrounded by Lovecraftian monsters and religious hysteria, building to one of the bleakest endings in modern horror cinema. We also pick up a controller for Condemned: Criminal Origins (2005), a grim Xbox 360 survival horror game that turned a next-gen console launch into a nightmare of crime scenes, jump scares, and first-person brutality.Our Deep-Cut Spotlight sinks its teeth into Salem's Lot (1979), Tobe Hooper's terrifying Stephen King TV miniseriesthat made an entire generation afraid to look out their bedroom windows. We talk small-town dread, the iconic window-scratch scene, and how this vampire story helped shape everything from Fright Night to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Midnight Mass.Along the way, we roll through horror birthdays (including icons connected to The Silence of the Lambs, The Thing, and indie horror favorites), revisit the legacy of Universal's Frankenstein in a Then & Now segment, and close with a Weekly Recommendation: Luca Guadagnino's Bones and All (2022), a melancholic cannibal road movie that plays like a twisted, emotional Thanksgiving watch.If you love horror history, Stephen King adaptations, Tim Burton gothic horror, 80s slasher movies, Thanksgiving horror, and deep dives into cult classics, this episode is your cozy, creepy guide to late-November genre viewing.Subscribe to This Week in Horror History on the Weekly Spooky network so you never miss a horror anniversary, hidden gem, or nightmare from the vault.Sleepaway Camp (1983)Streaming: Currently streaming on Peacock and available via Prime Video (depending on region/packaging).Physical: Recent Blu-ray restorations from boutique horror labels are in print and easy to hunt down for collectors.Sleepy Hollow (1999)Digital: Available to rent or buy digitally on the usual suspects, including Prime Video and Apple TV.Physical: Long-standing Paramount Blu-ray and DVD releases are widely available.The Mist (2007)Streaming: Streaming on Peacock and Paramount+, often as part of their Stephen King / horror lineups.Physical: Blu-ray editions are easy to find, including releases that feature Frank Darabont's preferred black-and-white cut.Condemned: Criminal Origins (2005 – game)Digital: Recently delisted from major digital storefronts, so it's not a simple click-to-buy anymore.Physical / Legacy: Best found as a physical Xbox 360 disc or as remaining PC keys from reputable sellers that still activate on Steam; expect some tinkering on modern hardware.Salem's Lot (1979 miniseries)Streaming: Shows up on free-with-ads streamers like Tubi and on horror-centric services such as AMC+ and Shudder from time to time, though availability shifts.Physical / Digital: There are solid DVD and Blu-ray editions in circulation, and it's typically available to rent or buy digitally on major VOD platforms when it falls out of flat-rate streaming.Bones and All (2022)Digital: Available digitally on Prime Video.Streaming: Also popping up on cinephile-focused streamers such as The Criterion Channel and MUBI, making it easy to slot into a late-night double feature.This episode of This Week in Horror History is brought to you by Savorista Coffee.

Mark Rolston (Aliens, Shawshank Redemption, Saw VI) joins Keith Reza for an epic conversation spanning 40+ years in Hollywood. From working with James Cameron and Frank Darabont to Bill Paxton's life-changing friendship, Mark reveals untold stories from iconic films.

Pop Culture Pastor dives headfirst into the fog. Dave and Cody rewind Frank Darabont's soul-crusher The Mist (2007): why the human breakdown still hits, why Marcia Gay Harden steals the whole movie, and how that ending becomes a parable about quitting one step too soon. They riff on what holds up and what doesn't, then play the show's greatest hits: Muppet-ize the Movie, Which Character Would You Be? and the Winner & Loser of the movie (sorry, Stephen King… Darabont's ending wins).Plus: a spicy news bit on the “least attractive hobbies for men” list (video games, figurines, crypto, trolling, gambling) and why maybe the problem isn't hobbies—it's imbalance.Come for the monsters, stay for the meaning.Agree?

This episode in our Tales of Horror series centers on the characters who haunt Elm Street, from Nancy's legacy to the new dream-warriors who take up the fight in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. We highlight Heather Langenkamp's enduring heroine Nancy Thompson, Patricia Arquette's breakout energy, and Robert Englund's chilling and iconic Freddy Krueger. We also examine how the film gives space to a diverse ensemble, including Craig Wasson, Ken Sagoes, Rodney Eastman, Jennifer Rubin, Bradley Gregg, Ira Heiden, Laurence Fishburne and Penelope Sudrow—while weaving in the returning favorites such as John Saxon. Director Chuck Russell, with inspiration from Wes Craven's original dream logic and Frank Darabont's storytelling craft, crafts a nightmare that remains a touchstone for the genre. From the dream-world rules and inventive death sequences to the film's legacy in horror cinema, this episode covers what made Dream Warriors a fan favorite and a turning point in the series.Where To Watch A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors

The stakes are higher, the drama is bigger, and the films are fighting harder than ever for a shot at the crown.The Matchups: Semi-Final ShowdownsOnly four films remain, and the battles are fierce:Election vs. The Blair Witch Project – Tracy Flick's cutthroat ambition goes head-to-head with supernatural terror in the woods. It's satire vs. found footage, politics vs. paranoia.The Limey vs. The Green Mile – Steven Soderbergh's stylish revenge story steps into the ring with Frank Darabont's heartbreaking prison epic.

Will Election's political claws cut down the terror of The Blair Witch Project? Can The Limey's revenge stand tall against The Green Mile's miracles?

The Shawshank Redemption, just starring Tom Cruise and Harrison Ford in the lead roles? It might just have happened, if writer/director Frank Darabont hadn't turned down a life-changing offer to let someone else direct the film. Instead, he dug in, and put together - across a testing production - a film that's gone on to be very highly regarded. Even after it flopped at the box office. The late Robert Redford meanwhile was 77 years old when he came to make the film All Is Lost. It involved him stuck in the water for hours on end, left him with hearing loss, and in the midst of a film that benefitted heavily from an abandoned Disney blockbuster. Stories of both films are told in this episode... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The supporting cast includes Bob Gunton (Demolition Man, Argo) as the corrupt Warden Norton, Clancy Brown (Highlander, Starship Troopers) as the ruthless Captain Hadley, William Sadler (Die Hard 2, The Mist) as Heywood, and James Whitmore (Planet of the Apes, Give 'em Hell, Harry!) as Brooks, whose tragic arc with “Brooks was here” remains one of the film's most unforgettable sequences.

In the forty-ninth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by screenwriter Katy Baldwin and director Michael Willer to discuss the wide cult acclaim of Frank Darabont's earnest and soulful adaptation of a Stephen King short story that reflects on being imprisoned by fear and the road to emancipation through a parable of hope in one of the most beloved films of all time, The Shawshank Redemption (1994).

Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, this week with special guests Charlene Lydon and Cethan Leahy, The 250 is a weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. This week, Frank Darabont's The Green Mile. At the turn of the millennium, Paul Edgecomb reflects back on his time serving as chief guard overseeing death row at Cold Mountain Penitentiary during the 1930s. Paul recalls the standard operation of that section of the prison, known as "the Green Mile", but in particular the arrival of a unique inmate, John Coffey. Neither Paul, nor anybody else on the Mile, have any idea what Coffey's arrival will herald. At time of recording, it was ranked 25th on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.

Season 9, Episode 9 (Originally released on June 11th, 2025) Welcome back to the Shame List Picture Show. In this episode, we're cracking open The Shawshank Redemption, and we're thrilled to be joined by the thoughtful and passionate Robyn Ehrlich. Those who tuned into our Waiting for Guffman episode will remember that Robyn is more than just a cinephile—she's also the communications and public relations coordinator at Milwaukee Film. Together, we'll be delving deep into Frank Darabont's adaptation of Stephen King's novella, breaking down its themes, the film's theatrical history and home video renaissance, and its lasting legacy, with powerful reflections on hope, friendship, and what it means to be free.
