In this very special episode, Phil and Keith talk about their 100th episode! They discuss classic clips from the show, the wives, the kids, guest hosts, checkbooks, Geena Davis, live events, Marc Price, and more.
Daniela Taplin Lundberg has made her mark in Hollywood doing something that's become increasingly rare: creating authentic and artful films that are made for adults and appeal to a wide audience. These are movies like The Kids are All Right, Beast of No Nation, Nanny, Harriet, just to name a few. Today she talks with Jordan about Thelma and Louise – and in particular the affinity that she felt with Geena Davis's Thelma from the first time she saw the movie (in the theaters, as a teenager). The movie was even an early example of her producer's eye – she knew she'd seen something special before the film became a sensation.Then, Jordan has one quick thing about her old friends and their new (nu?) dance with Ghostface in Scream 6.Check out Daniela's podcast, Hollywood Gold.***With Jordan Crucchiola and Daniela Taplin Lundberg
El Chaco is calling in once again, and it's time to discuss the ongoing war! That's right the War between original Mountain Dew and Mountain Dew Code Red. So pick your colors and get ready to join the frontlines ofCultural VandalismMandatory Workplace Harassment TrainingWe've seen now year after year the slow destruction of our culture. From the homogenization of design, the erasure of certain hair colors in media, and the constant need for reboots and remakes that fly in the face of the original. To the before times, of revisionist architecture and history, manipulated narratives about certain political parties just deciding to be the other party. Our culture has become so embattled that you dare not have your favorite property adapted into a new medium because what comes out the other side is going to closer resemble Seth Brundle before Geena Davis ends his misery.Workplaces are supposed to be a place of, you guessed it, work. Long ago it was a semi social place, where perhaps you went out for dinner or drinks after work. Maybe you met a person you wanted to get to know better. However in the current state of the world of teaching certain groups they should literally have it all, while other groups need to be supportive, but not too supportive, but also don't retreat because all of those things are bad. Enter HR a bastion of derailing productive people since the first group of worthless individuals got together and said, what if we just made a department for workplace gossip. So here we are sitting in hours long trainings where you learn nothing, but at least they get to deflect any liability when you get reported for complimenting the pretty girl in the next cubicle for literally ANYTHING! (Also not complimenting her.)All that plus a steal of a deal on prostitutes, fish news, and Andy reads an announcement from yesteryear.
Today, we dive into David Cronenberg's 1986 body horror classic, "The Fly". It was a first watch for both of us, so we can't say we weren't surprised to hear that Jeff Goldblum's voice has been the same for almost 30 years or that Geena Davis was in ANOTHER great movie. Let's talk about it!

JAC's Patreon pick this week is the 1988/89 movie Earth Girls Are Easy.

They are fascinated by these shapely creatures and discover that the broadcast came from Southern California on Earth. Meanwhile, Valley girl Valerie Gail feels her cold fiancé Dr. Ted Gallagher is slipping away and decides to seduce him. Instead, she catches him cheating on her with a nurse, throws him out, smashes his things and refuses to see him again. The aliens' spaceship crash lands in Valerie's swimming pool - putting a decided damper on her future wedding plans in Las Vegas. She brings them into her home; and the aliens prove to be quick learners and absorb American popular culture and language through television. thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thevhsstrikesback/support
“You Can't Win 'Em All” (February 27, 1985) Sara is a one-season sitcom that first came to our attention via a gag on The Simpsons, the context being that it wasn't a show worth remembering. The Simpsons was wrong, however, and this Geena Davis vehicle does a lot of what we think '80s sitcoms don't do. Namely, it has an out gay character who is allowed to have a sex drive. He's also more than a set of stereotypical mannerisms but he still reads as gay. And Bronson Pinchot, who one year later would become a sitcom star as Balki on Perfect Strangers, does a great job bringing dimension to this character who should have been on TV for a lot longer. Many thanks to Steven Capsuto for collecting historical context around Sara in his amazing book, Alternate Channels: Queer Images on Twentieth-Century TV, which is a great resource for anyone studying LGBTQ representation in media. Also listen to the episode Steve did with us about Love, Sidney. Thanks to Zach Wilson for giving us access to the video of this ep! You can watch the entire episode on the GEE Vimeo here.

Yarrr! Shiver me timbers! 'Tis the 1995 movie that made us voluntarily seek Davey Jones' locker. We walk the plank of 90's spectacle filmmaking to reconsider a movie that no one boarded, and it still sank to the ocean floor despite extravagant sets, seemingly real boats, giant cannons, a monkey and the always watchable Geena Davis. ...and yet...

CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of murder, attempted sexual assault, theft, robbery, guns, police, misogyny, neglect, suicide. We're continuing our Oscars ‘91 series with a groundbreaking major studio movie in its willingness to put women front and center as our heroines. Although, these two aren't the perfect protagonists by any measure, but they are truly compelling. And while the film is rightly remembered as a classic, it's not without its faults. There's a lot of the movie that focuses away from what makes it so great, either out of messy writing or frustrating directing. Still, anytime you can put Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis in a car in the southwest, it's worth the price of admission.

Geena Davis is an actor, archer, advocate, and all-around badass! She made her feature film debut starring opposite Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie. She went on to star in many films including The Fly, Beetlejuice, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Stuart Little, A League of Their Own, and The Accidental Tourist for which she won her first Academy Award. She was again nominated for an Academy Award and Golden Globe for her performance in Thelma & Louise. Geena is also the Founder and Chair of the non-profit Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, which engages film and television creators to dramatically increase the percentage of female characters and reduce gender stereotyping in media made for children 11 and under. In 2019, Geena was honored with a second Oscar, this time the Academy's Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, in recognition of the work Geena has done over the decades to achieve gender parity on screen in film and television. She is now recognized for her tireless advocacy of women and girls nearly as much as for her acting accomplishments. In this conversation with Jay, Geena discusses her activism in Hollywood, as well as her latest book, Dying of Politeness: A Memoir, where she chronicles her "journey to badassery" and makes a powerful case for why Hollywood has a crucial role to play in promoting women's rights around the globe.

It's still December, and the Christmas behemoth rolls on! Our apologies to all listeners who hate this winter tradition, but we promise this week we have our annual movie that is full of dumb action and is just tangentially related to the holiday. Erika and Paul are singing the praises of Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson in The Long Kiss Goodnight…buckle up, y'all, we've got a live one!
The Cannon Bros take a detour for the reason for the season... a Shane Black Christmas! This Holiday season we celebrate the Christmas-tinged genius of Shane Black. Today we discuss 1996's THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT. And joining us to chat about this underrated film is John Murray! We discuss the hit-or-miss madness of Renny Harlin, the stellar performances from Samuel L. Jackson and Geena Davis, how much of Shane Black's script was kept intact, the underutilization of Brian Cox and how Cutthroat Island's poor box office performance might have hurt this solid film. Take a listen, regain your suppressed memories, and declare "Chefs do that"!

The Holiday Movie Season continues.....and strangely enough, this one has quite the pedigree: it's directed by Renny Harlin who gave us the underrated Christmas actioner Die Hard 2: Die Harder and it's written by Shane Black who gave us the Christmas classic, Lethal Weapon. Beyond that, it stars Oscar winner Geena Davis as Charli Baltimore, a former government assassin who contracted amnesia and is now mild-mannered midwestern school teacher with a young daughter.....until of course, former rivals come calling. :o Charli has also teamed up with Mitch Hennessy, a crafty private detective played by Oscar nominee Samuel L. Jackson.....and what results is a quippy, brutal, and entertaining Christmas actioner which more people should have seen while it was in theaters.

Last year we talked about the greatest Christmas movie of all time, Lethal Weapon. This year we're returning to Shane Black Christmas goodness with The Long Kiss Goodnight. But before we do that there are a few non Christmas trailers that needed some discusion.First on deck is the brand new trailer for Indiana Joes V: The Dial of Destiny. Does this movie look like it can recapture the magic of the original trilogy or will it feel as alien and disjointed as the Crystal Skull. The Bloody Good Film Podcast is ready to let you know what to think.The second trailer gets us in the holiday spirit as we get snow blind with a bear! We're talking the trailer for Cocaine Bear! This movie has been hyped in horror circles for years, and we finally get a peak and try to see if it's living up to the hype!After that it's into The Long Kiss Goodnight, what is often considered to be a forgotten Christmas Classic. Before Jason Bourne was busy forgetting why he kicked butt, Geena Davis was forgetting twice as hard and looking good doing it! Most importantly in this episode we decide if The Long Kiss Goodnight... IS A BLOODY GOOD FILM!and remember... KEEP IT BLOODY BUDDIES....#cocainebear #indianajones #shaneblack #longkissgoodnight #geenadavis #samualljackson #Movie #Movies #Action #Horror #ActionFilm #ActionMovie #ActionMovies #HorrorFilm #HorrorFilms #HorrorMovie #HorrorMovies #ActionPodcast #HorrorPodcast #Slasher #80s #80sHorror #NewPodcast

This week we're talking about the 1992 A League of Their Own. It's not perfect, but we're fairly impressed for 1992 (though we wish we'd made more progress by now). No real surprise, these women are badasses on and off the field. We're very into them and thanks to Penny Marshall for her energy to create and direct this movie. P.S. Geena Davis and Tom Hanks are both 6 feet tall.We're taking a week off for Thanksgiving, then we'll be back on November 30th to cover the history of the sitcom.While you wait, we recommend you look up Land Acknowledgement and listen to our Thanksgiving episode from last year: I'll Take Her Sloppy Seconds.Things we discussed20 Highest-Grossing Baseball MoviesA League of Their Own Fun FactsMadonna Hates ChicagoRosie O'Donnel Comes out in 2002When Was Alcoholism Recognized as a Disease?She Said TrailerWhere to watchA League of Their Own--Amazon PrimeGLOW--NetflixVeep--HBO MaxFixer Upper--HBO MaxAbbott Elementary--HuluHome Economics--HuluRoadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain--HBO MaxSex Lives of College Girls--HBO Max

I am obsessed with today's guest and I'm not even going to pretend otherwise. Geena Davis, the star of such seminal movies as Tootsie, Beetlejuice, Thelma & Louise, A League of Their Own and the underrated classic, The Long Kiss Goodnight, TURNED UP AT MY ACTUAL HOUSE to record a witty, warm and fascinating conversation.*We talk about her feelings of imposter syndrome and self-doubt in the early days of her career, the fact that her failure as a model led to her first film role alongside Dustin Hoffman (who gave her incredible advice on how to defend herself against the amorous advances of her male co-stars) and the revelation of being diagnosed with ADD in her 40s. Along the way, we touch on height (she's 6ft! A tall woman like me!), the #MeToo movement, representation, almost becoming an Olympic archer, being an older mother and the seismic impact her friendship with Susan Sarandon had on Davis's life. I can't wait for you all to listen.*yes, she met my ginger cat Huxley and they got along famously.--Geena Davis's gloriously warm and ironic memoir, Dying of Politeness, is out now: https://www.waterstones.com/book/dying-of-politeness/geena-davis/9780008508111--How To Fail With Elizabeth Day is hosted and produced by Elizabeth Day.

Rosie O'Donnell is a beloved comedian, celebrated actress, and talk show legend. Despite all these professional accolades, it is perhaps her generosity of spirit, her tireless advocacy on behalf of children and families, and her heartfelt commitment to the health of the American theater that most definitively define her impact on popular culture.Born in Commack, New York on March 21, 1962, Rosie O'Donnell embarked on a career as a standup comedian right out of high school, and in short order found herself enjoying a five show winning streak on the iconic television series, “Star Search” Shortly thereafter, she scored additional major appearances on television, including a regular role as Maggie O'Brien on NBC's popular sitcom, “Gimme a Break” and a high profile run as a VH1 VJIn 1992, Rosie was cast alongside Tom Hanks, Madonna, and Geena Davis in the smash hit “A League of Their Own.” She went on to further success on the big screen, starring in twelve films between 1992 and 1996, including 1993's “Sleepless in Seattle,” 1995's “Now and Then,”and 1996's “Beautiful Girls.”Her most monumental break came by accepting NBC's offer to host a variety daytime television show, “The Rosie O'Donnell Show” in 1996. Rosie's innate love of all things show business and her easy rapport with the celebrities she had grown up idolizing translated into a unique and hugely popular TV phenomenon. “The Rosie O'Donnell Show” ran for six seasons and went on to win a variety of Emmy awards, leaving a memorable mark on American television before ending production in 2002.In the past 20 years, Rosie's dedication to her artistic endeavors and charitable interests have continued unabated. She has been a regular fixture on television, on Broadway, and, in recent years, has gotten rave reviews for her powerful performances in Showtime's “SMILF” and HBO's “I Know This Much is True.” She can currently be seen in the Showtime original series, “American Gigolo.”-bio adapted and edited from Rosie.com
Forty years ago, Sydney Pollack directed one of the most acclaimed and most successful comedies of all time with this gender-bending sorta-romantic comedy starring Dustin Hoffman as Michael Dorsey. Dorsey is an unemployed actor who suddenly finds success disguised as Dorothy Michaels, a suddenly successful actress who becomes of the leads of a popular daytime soap opera. Jessica Lange plays Julie, her co-star whom Michael falls in love with, Charles Durning plays Julie's father Les who falls in love with Dorothy....and hilarity ensues! The stellar cast also includes Teri Garr, Dabney Coleman, Geena Davis, and Bill Murray.Host: Geoff Gershon Editors: Geoff and Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershonhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Join Joel "Hell" Duscher, Jackson "Balyinsten's Monster" Baly and Joel "Spooky Joel" Zammit for a special Halloween episode of Plumbing the Death Star were they discuss which ghost is the worst to be haunted by. Joel "Hell" Duscher thinks Casper the Friendly Ghost would be a nightmare to live with because he is too happy. It would be like babysitting a cousin you don't like. Jackson "Balyinsten's Monster" Baly says a dreaded name too many times and summons Beetlejuice (and Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis), but it gets away from him a bit. And last but not least, Joel "Spooky Joel" Zammit chooses a ghost ship, but not the ship from the film Ghost Ship, one of the ships from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. But also maybe the ghost from Ghost Ship.

Tom Stoppard has been a fixture on Broadway since his famous early play, “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead,” travelled there in 1967. Stoppard is eighty-five years old, and has largely resisted the autobiographical element in his work. But now, in “Leopoldstadt,” a play that has just opened on Broadway, he draws on his family's tragic losses in the Second World War. Stoppard talks with the contributor Andrew Dickson about his latest work. And the Oscar- and Emmy Award-winning actor Geena Davis, best known for her role in “Thelma and Louise,” talks with the staff writer Michael Schulman about her life and career. Davis ascribes much of her early experience on- and offscreen to a certain level of politeness, a character trait ingrained in her from childhood. “I learned politeness from minute one, I'm sure,” she tells Schulman. “That was my family: very old-fashioned New Englanders.” She reflects on her childhood, her iconic roles in the eighties and nineties, and her “journey to badassery” in her new memoir, “Dying of Politeness,” out this month.

Geena Davis has been a face we have come to know on screen for 40 years. And despite being in the public eye for so long, Geena is one of those actors who has cleverly obscured herself and her personal life behind the scenes. But now, she's putting her whole self out there with a memoir called Dying of Politeness. On this episode of Next Question with Katie Couric, Katie and Geena talk about her “throwback” childhood, girlhood trauma, and some of her most iconic roles. They talk about the feminist thread that has shaped Geena's career, the inescapable misogyny of Hollywood, and how she carved her own professional path in the second phase of life. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Actress Geena Davis shares why she's taking readers behind-the-scenes in her memoir "Dying of Politeness,” reflects on her iconic roles through the years and shares the advice she received from stars Dustin Hoffman and Susan Sarandon. Then, Antoni Porowski shares how cooking hacks inspired his new show “Easy-Bake Battle,” explains why he doesn't consider himself a professional chef and how to make life easier in the kitchen.
