Podcast appearances and mentions of Frank Oz

For today's episode we explore the upcoming 40th anniversary of the ultimate 80's-babysitter-musical-fantasy film. With the creative mastery of Jim Henson and executive producer George Lucas, combined with the musical and showman talent of David Bowie and the teenage crush Jennifer Connelly, it's a Magic Dance we love!Today's root beer is Shasta. Intro and Outro music by Stockmusic331 on Pond5Send us Fan Mail

Kevin Kline and an Oscar-nominated Joan Cusack have a gay old time in 1997's In & Out. Back then, the comedy was a modest hit with critics and audiences as it juggled social commentary and slapstick humor while tackling a (then) hot-topic theme: homosexuality (gasp!). But now, decades later, should we leave this Frank Oz flick in the closet? When are “gay jokes” funny? And should Kline's character consider pressing charges against Tom Selleck's entertainment reporter? The Old Roommates revisit all the Macho Man madness through their middle-aged lens. Pop on some Streisand and join them.Follow Old Roommates on social media @OldRoommates for bonus content and please give us a rating or review!#In&Out #FrankOz #KevinKline #JoanCusack #DebbieReynolds #MattDillon #TomSelleck

This week, Patreon supporter Matt Bates, the Black Country Vlogger, brings us Innocent Blood (1992) for our Pain and Pleasure theme -- a film that revels in the push and pull between the two. Innocent Blood (1992) came about in a roundabout way, which is fitting for a film that defies easy categorisation. John Landis had originally been developing a vampire project called Red Sleep -- a wild premise about Las Vegas being run by vampires -- before Warner Bros. passed and handed him a first-time script by Michael Wolk. The film had an entirely different trajectory before Landis came aboard -- Jack Sholder had been set to direct with Lara Flynn Boyle and Dennis Hopper in the leads before creative differences saw all three replaced. Landis cast French actress Anne Parillaud fresh off La Femme Nikita, and filmed primarily in Pittsburgh's Little Italy neighbourhood after a location visit changed his original plan to shoot in Philadelphia. The MPAA initially slapped it with an NC-17, forcing further cuts to secure an R rating. Landis described his vision as "a Hammer film directed by Scorsese." It opened in September 1992 to a modest domestic gross but has since built a devoted cult following among fans of horror-comedy and 90s vampire films.Find Matt here - https://www.youtube.com/c/blackcountryvloggerTRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISIn a world where the streets of Pittsburgh run red... one woman has a code. She is Marie. She is beautiful. She is deadly. And she only eats bad people.But one night she makes a mistake. She doesn't finish the job. And now the most dangerous mob boss in the city isn't just angry... he is immortal.Sal Macelli is back from the dead and building a vampire army from organised crime. Marie has no choice but to team up with one increasingly bewildered cop. Because you cannot arrest something that cannot die. And you cannot plea bargain with a monster in an Armani suit.FUN FACTS ABOUT INNOCENT BLOOD (1992)Despite revolving around vampires, the word "vampire" is never once spoken in the filmDario Argento, Sam Raimi, Frank Oz, Tom Savini, and Steve Johnson all have cameosScream Queen Linnea Quigley appears as a nurse alongside her then-husband Steve JohnsonLandis hid his recurring "See You Next Wednesday" joke on a marquee in the filmThe glowing vampire eyes used reflective contact lenses combined with a beam-splitter techniqueA POV flying shot was lifted directly from Dario Argento's Opera -- who also has a cameoChazz Palminteri appears in a supporting role -- a Godfather reunion crossed with The SopranosBy 1992, Landis hadn't directed horror since An American Werewolf in London -- an eleven year gapSUPPORT THE SHOWSupport the Show If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.

Bob Wiley wants you to know there are two kinds of people in this world. People who love Neil Diamond and people who don't. This week on Pop Culture Pastor, Dave & Cody revisit Frank Oz's What About Bob? (1991) in a Be Kind Rewind. The Bill Murray comedy turns 35 this year and might be the most documented on-set nightmare in Hollywood history. We dig into what holds up (the pacing, Dreyfuss as one of the great comedy villains of the 90s, peak-era Bill Murray), what doesn't (the third act goes completely off the rails, modern mental health audiences would have notes), and the full story of the Murray-Dreyfuss feud — from a 1978 SNL appearance that started it all, to thrown ashtrays, crushed sunglasses, and producers tossed in lakes.Plus: we Muppetize the movie, Cody breaks down why this film couldn't be remade today, and Dave makes the case that Dr. Leo Marvin is every dad who confused providing with being present.Bonus: the Blair Witch Project reboot is happening, and we want to hear from anyone whose parents took them to see it in theaters as a child.https://linktr.ee/PopCulturePastorPod

(Originally recorded 04.29.26) We're back! Both of your friendly neighborhood hosts had trips since last we convened.  These are discussed.  Find out about Stephe in Tennessee and Bruce in Costa Rica. Then we hopped right into the meat of this week's episode. Bruce came up with an idea.  Think "F*ck, Marry, Kill" but with the entire MCU catalog to choose from.  No we're not getting carnal or betrothed.  Instead we Keep one property exactly as is.  We Delete on from existence in its entirety and we Change one to better suit our nerd ideals. I can promise no duplicate choices were made. There is some extra nerdy discussion of things we didn't choose and why.  We get off on a tangent trying to take Nick Fury from WWII all the way to the early days of SHIELD in the swinging sixties. That one yields some very fun results. Stephe talks briefly about Dungeon Crawler Carl. (hint - he hasn't started it yet) He hasn't watched Daredevil:  Born Again either. Bruce goes into a deep dive on Chuck Dixon's Levon series, the source material for last year's A Working Man. And, of course, we play "What's on Your Desk?" We're back and we're ready to roll!  Join us!

Justus has decreed that the podcast will cover one Muppet movie per year, so it is once again time to dive into Jim Henson's world of whimsy and felt puppets. This time, the boys are talking about the cultural moment that was and is The Muppet Movie, the first big screen adventure of Kermit and his friends. So hit play on your pod catcher and find the rainbow connection with TGMEM!The Muppet Movie (1979) is directed by James Frawley and stars Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson, Richard Hunt, and Dave GoelzMusic: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio

Govier takes us back to 1988 for a laugh or two. It's time to find out if Frank Oz's 1988 comedy Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988) holds up or not.

This week, Madeline, Julian and Emilio kick off a new cycle dedicated to "Offbeat Musicals" with perhaps the pre-eminent offbeat musical movie: 'Little Shop of Horrors', released in 1986, directed by Frank Oz, featuring standout performances from Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, and Levi Stubbs as Audrey II, anchored by the iconic score from Howard Ashman and Alan Menken.  It's a Viewnanimous pick, and they are joined by composer/performer/teacher/great human/"Little Shop" enthusiast Will Reynolds to break down what is weird and wonderful about the film and its music.  The group digs into the touching performances, the elite puppetry, its playful yet clear adherences to classic Broadway musical conventions, how the period setting becomes a backdrop for the themes, that very bleak original ending vs. the happy theatrical release ending, and much more!  Will Reynolds is an accomplished composer, coach, and performer.  His score for The Violet Hour can be found where ever you stream music.  You can follow his goings on, learn about his Inspired Actions Method, and see where he is performing next at his website willreynoldsonline.com and on IG @willcreynolds    If you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.  This really helps us find new listeners and grow!Follow us on YouTube, IG and TikTok: @sleeplesscinematicpodSend us an email at sleeplesscinematicpod@gmail.comOn Letterboxd?

"Another world, another time, in the age of wonder." We watched "The Dark Crystal," directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz, and that "other time" was back when they made movies for kids creepy as all get out.  They really don't make 'em like they used to, and this movie is proof. The eerie Skeksis still haunt our dreams, the bohemian Mystics are living out our hippie desert dwelling fantasies, and the ethereal Gelflings are giving us fashion inspo for days. Henson and Oz stretched the limits of puppetry on film and created an entire handmade world without a human to be seen. The art of illustrator Brian Froud and his fantasy creatures is on full display, and The Dark Crystal transports us to a fantastic place that exists only in our memories— the 1980s.  Thank you for listening, and don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Bluesky: @MTMUGPod.bsky.social Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna Cover Art by Shaun Piela

Welcome back to another episode of Woody Allen Adjacent, right here on the Woody Allen Retrospective Podcast.   This time around, we kick things off with a bit of Oscar 2026 talk - because, of course, we couldn't resist. Our good old boy Timmy C finds himself in a little bit of trouble, which we have some fun unpacking before getting into the main feature...   For this month's Adjacent pick, James brings us a very special one: the 1991 comedy What About Bob? starring Bill Murray - an actor we wished had crossed paths with Woody Allen on screen.   Admittedly,  in the editing process for this episode, i (Don) wondered if we might've leaned into the nitpicking just a little bit too much :P … but honestly, that's part of the fun of doing a movie podcast no?   All in all, it's a lively episode, and a good one to revisit or discover for the first time!   Next month, we've got a special follow up - something we promised last year for a beloved actor   Thanks as always for listening and supporting the show - we know y'all are just as excited as we are to tackle Woodys filmography again - remember, that starts this October 2026!   ================================================================   For full cast details, user reviews, and more background on the film, check out:  

It was 44 years ago that a theater audience first heard mild-mannered Seymour and his bombshell crush, Audrey, belt out “Suddenly Seymour”  while a bloodthirsty plant lurked in the background.  Yet today, that same show– “Little Shop of Horrors”– is currently in its 6th year of a highly successful Off-Broadway revival. And if you have an appetite for fun, we're here to feed it with this entertaining podcast on the beloved cult classic! What black-and-white B movie was the inspiration behind the musical “Little Shop of Horrors”? How did “Sesame Street” puppeteer Martin Robinson design the original, ever-growing Audrey II? What behind-the-scenes stories does Frank Oz recall from directing the hit 1986 movie adaptation? And what issue with the ending nearly derailed the film? We discuss all this and more, so just “leaf” it to us!  Many thanks to Rich for his top-of-the-episode shout-out!    How to support Scandal Water: Rate, review, and subscribe!

This week, your favorite former puppeteers climb aboard one of the strangest stops in The Muppet Show canon: episode #308 featuring country icon Loretta Lynn, staged not in the familiar Muppet Theater… but on an abandoned train platform.Yes, really. Through a series of very Muppet-y mishaps, the gang finds themselves putting on the show trackside — surrounded by luggage, questionable infrastructure, and the lingering possibility that the 3:15 to nowhere might actually arrive. Loretta, cool as a coal miner's daughter, rolls with it all: singing her hits while frogs scramble, chickens wander, and Gonzo almost certainly violates several railway safety codes.We unpack the episode's delightfully ramshackle setting, how the change of scenery fuels the comedy, and why country music and train platforms feel like a match made in honky-tonk heaven. There's something poetically perfect about Loretta Lynn bringing grounded, heartfelt storytelling to a show that's literally off the rails.It's banjos, baggage carts, and backstage bedlam — proof that no matter the venue, the Muppets will raise the curtain… even if they have to nail it to a railway post first.

In this episode, we venture into the alien world of Thra to dissect Jim Henson and Frank Oz's 1982 landmark film, The Dark Crystal. We explore how this ambitious "dark fantasy" project pushed the boundaries of puppetry and storytelling, moving away from the lightheartedness of the Muppets to create a rich, somber, and deeply mystical universe on the Back to the Past Podcast from the M&J Creations Studios on the Lion's Den Podcast Network powered by Stark Roofing!

On this episode we celebrate one of the most beloved Christmas movies, THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL (1992) The Muppet Christmas Carol is a 1992 American Christmas musical film produced and directed by Brian Henson (in his feature directorial debut). It is the fourth theatrical film featuring the Muppets. Adapted from the 1843 novella A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens with a screenplay written by Jerry Juhl, the film takes artistic license to suit the aesthetic of the Muppets, but follows Dickens' original story closely. It is the first Muppet film where a human is the main protagonist. The film stars Michael Caine as Ebenezer Scrooge alongside Muppet performers Dave Goelz, Steve Whitmire, Jerry Nelson, and Frank Oz. It is the first Muppet film to be produced following the deaths of creator Jim Henson and performer Richard Hunt; the film is dedicated to both.

This week, we watch a show about a puppeteer to whom the weight of success has exacted a mighty toll, leaving him toiling in solitude trying to attain perfection that will always elude him.

'The Dark Crystal' is a monument to craft, a movie made entirely with puppets, primative robots, strings, fog machines, lighting rigs, and spit. A true monument to analog filmmaking. But is it any good? We discuss.  Matt rec. Corbin rec. Corbin apoligizes for rambling about rap lists like a weirdo at the end of this episode.  Check out the show on Letterboxd if you're into that thing. Matt is also on there.

Emmett Fitz-Hume (Chevy Chase) and Austin Milllbarge (Dan Aykroyd) have been promoted! Congratulations! They will serve as decoys while other CIA agents take down a Soviet nuclear missile launcher. But, not everything in this mission is adding up. Along the way, there will be parachute drops! A metal briefcase with handcuffs is used. There is a secret underground base! Will Sam Raimi let you in? There is mention of codebreaking. There's a lot of spy stuff happening here! Mr. Ruby (Bruce Davidson) and Mr. Keyes (William Prince) are trying to mastermind it. Karen Boyer (Donna Dixon) “spent the last two and a half years of [her] life preparing for this penetration.” So, there's that! RTS trains with Colonel Rhombus (Bernie Casey) to become woods ninjas. Jeremy becomes an extra within the Ace Tomato Company. La-Mar smashes the hell out of the SatScram terminal with a rock! Rami hangs with Frank Oz while scrutinizing test takers. B.B. King is here! “Doctor. Doctor. Doctor. Doctor…”

Love it or hate it, let's talk about this cult classic from director Frank Oz

Happy Halloween, Monster Children! Your host, Vinnie Kami, returns to introduce another classic monster tale--but not his disgruntled butler, Kappa Joe! No, Joe gave himself the night off and sent his carnivorous Gen Z slang-speaking plant, "Violet," to fill in for him. It's apropos, because this episode's story is "Green Thoughts" by John Collier, which inspired 1960's The Little Shop of Horrors, which led to an off-Broadway musical in the early 1980s, and finally to a 1986 film adaptation of the musical directed by Frank Oz and starring Rick Moranis. The reader is the Monster Island Legal Action Team's very own Gary Steward, who bears a striking resemblance to Seymour from the musical. But this is assuming Mr. Kami can decipher what “Vi” is saying without an ancient tome to translate. Check out Nathan's spinoff podcasts, The Henshin Men and The Power Trip, and Henshin Power V3!

Just when we thought we found all the actors who've played Darth Vader, another emerges. Tom Bewley was the first actor to portray the Dark Lord of the Sith on screen after Return of the Jedi. He appeared in the Frank Oz-directed 1985 film, The Indian in the Cupboard. In his very first podcast interview, Tom opens up with never-before-heard stories from behind the mask. He shares what it was like stepping into Vader's boots for The Indian in the Cupboard, his duel with the Energizer Bunny in a now-legendary commercial, memories from the Star Wars 10th Anniversary convention preshow with George Lucas, and plenty more surprises. TODAY in Star Wars History 9/16/1977 48 years ago... ABC aired The Making of Star Wars as Told by C-3PO and R2-D2, an hour-long special hosted by R2-D2 and Anthony Daniels as C-3PO. Coming in the same month as Donny & Marie, Richard Pryor, and Saturday morning Star Wars previews, the special stood out by placing R2 and 3PO in a futuristic Star Wars setting to share behind-the-scenes stories. It was a clever move—fans didn't have to wait for The Empire Strikes Back to get “new” Star Wars, all thanks to Charlie Lippincott's promotional vision.

Join Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd on a bumbling Cold War mission in Spies Like Us! We break down the laughs, the cameos, and the chaos Our country sends nothing but the best of the best in espionage when fighting for the freedom of our country. And also decoys who are expendable. Let's see which ones Austin Milbarge and Emmet Fitz-Hume are as we check out this classic John Landis movie.  News A moment of silence for any bunnies harmed during last week's magic episode.   Dial-up internet rides off into the sunset. Time to finally toss that modem.   Star Wars: A New Hope returns to theaters for its 50th anniversary celebration.   Remembering Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell, who passed away at age 97 on August 8, leaving behind a legendary spaceflight legacy.   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Shua has been having fun with the reality-bending, body-swapping comedy of Freakier Friday, a quirky take on the classic genre. Jay, on the other hand, has been exploring the ghostly past of Maryland on a guided tour through its haunted history.      Sci-Fi Saturdays -  This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay revisits Edge of Tomorrow, a clever blend of science fiction, action, and dark humor; breaking down its themes of persistence, time loops, and unexpected heroism.

Enjoy Movies!  This week, we head back to the Cold War comedy days of Spies Like Us (1985), directed by John Landis and written by Dan Aykroyd, Lowell Ganz, and Babaloo Mandel. Inspired by the Hope/Crosby “Road” pictures, the film takes a satirical jab at espionage and military absurdities of the Reagan Era. Aykroyd and Chevy Chase play bumbling “spies” who are unwittingly used as decoys in a high-stakes mission to distract the Russians, only to accidentally stumble into the real operation and prevent World War III. We break down the story, the scathing humor, and the long list of cameos, from Frank Oz and Bob Hope to filmmakers Sam Raimi, Terry Gilliam, and Ray Harryhausen. We also compare Austin Milbarge and Emmett Fitz-Hume against our secret agent bracket from a few weeks back to see how they stack up in spy cinema history. Are you a spy, like them? Do you still like the 80s political satire? First person that emails me with the subject line, “Doctor!” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know.
