Podcast appearances and mentions of Geena Davis

This movie is one big trigger warning. Channing Tatum has his evil twin goatee so you know it's on. I've seen Heathers, so I would never do drugs near Christian Slater. Alia Shawkat has never survived a horror movie and that's not about to change now. If I walked into my therapist office and Kyle Maclahlan was my therapist, I'd turn around and leave.Who's responsible for this?Director: Zoe KravitzWriters: Zoe KravitzStars: Naomi Ackie, Channing Tatum, Alia Shawkat, Christian Slater, Haley Joel Osment, Geena Davis, Saul Williams, Kyle MaclachlanWhat should you check out next?Vita - Perfect Blue, 20th Century Boys, Bitch SlapEmmanuel - Promising Young Woman, Our Talons Can Crush GalaxiesAmanda - No Other Choice by Park Chan Wook, Black Arms to Hold You Up by Ben PassmoreEmily - Squad by Maggie Takuda Hall and Lisa SterleBen - Glass Onion, Wake Up Dead ManJeremy - One Battle After Another, Daredevil Season 3, Green Room, Final GIrls, Over My Dead BodyJOIN JEREMY'S ZOOP CAMPAIGN AND HELP MAKE GREAT COMICS! https://zoop.gg/c/slayTake our listener survey: http://bit.ly/progressivelyhorrified-surveySign up to support Progressively Horrified on Patreon for as little as $5 a month and get bonus episodes! https://www.patreon.com/c/progressivelyhorrified Hosted on Acast.

n this episode of Monsters Up North, Dan and Sam Munster head straight into the sticky, squirming horror of The Fly, the gloriously grotesque sci-fi nightmare directed by David Cronenberg.Dan and Sam dig into what makes this remake such a standout in ‘80s body horror—how Jeff Goldblum turns Seth Brundle's slow, tragic unraveling into something heartbreakingly human, and why Geena Davis brings so much emotional weight to the chaos. From the iconic teleportation accident to the stomach-churning transformation scenes, Dan and Sam break down the practical effects that still make audiences wince decades later.But it's not just about the gore (though yes, they absolutely talk about that scene). The guys explore the deeper themes—obsession, disease, decay, and what it really means to lose yourself piece by piece. Is it a love story? A cautionary tale about unchecked ambition? Or just one of the most beautifully disgusting horror films ever made?Expect sharp takes, a few laughs, and plenty of appreciation for one of horror's most unforgettable transformations. If you love practical effects, tragic monsters, and films that crawl under your skin and stay there, this episode is for you.

Guest host Geena Davis guides us through the research on love that stretches beyond romance and friendship, showing up in our bonds with objects, nature, grief, and the collective moments that connect us to something larger than ourselves.Summary: In this final episode of our 3-part series on The Science of Love, researchers reveal how love expands our sense of self and strengthens our bond to humanity. We also explore why objects can feel meaningful, how love of nature can motivate care for the planet, he ways grief reshapes our capacity for connection, and our love of humanity.Related The Science of Happiness episodes:  The Science of Love Series: https://bit.ly/TheScienceofLoveThe Science of Love, with Geena Davis (Episode 1): https://tinyurl.com/bfave5wdHow 7 Days Can Transform Your Relationship: https://tinyurl.com/bdh2ezhrRelated Happiness Breaks:Visualizing Your Best Self in Relationships: https://tinyurl.com/4797z2vfA Guided Meditation on Embodied Love: https://tinyurl.com/3dmpfam6A Meditation on Love and Interconnectedness: https://tinyurl.com/ye6baxv3Today's Guests:AARON AHUVIA is the most widely published and cited academic expert on non-interpersonal love.Learn more about Aaron Ahuvia here: https://thethingswelove.com/about-aaron/JESSICA EISE is a social and environmental scientist and is an assistant professor in the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health with Indiana University School of Public Health-Bloomington.Learn more about Jessica Eise here: https://jessicaeise.com/​​YURIA CELIDWEN is an indigenous scholar of contemplative studies, and author of the new book, Flourishing Kin: Indigenous Foundations For Collective Well-Being.Learn more about Yuria Celidwen here: https://www.yuriacelidwen.com/MARY-FRANCES O'CONNOR is a psychologist and professor at the University of Arizona, where she directs the Grief, Loss, and Social Stress Lab.Learn more about Mary-Frances O'connor here: https://maryfrancesoconnor.org/SHIRA GABRIEL is a Professor of Psychology at SUNY, University at Buffalo.Learn more about Shira Gabriel here: https://tinyurl.com/2vvav8xjMessage us or leave a comment on Instagram @scienceofhappinesspod.

An all new Appreciation Month is upon us here at Cinema Degeneration and this time we are delving into the twisted works and mind of the one and only Canadian filmmaker David Cronenberg whose career started in the late 1960's! It's a month long celebration of all things body horror, strange killers, telekinesis, rampant diseases, sexual perversions, more body horror, technological mutations, oh and did we mention body horror??? Our 2nd episode is based upon Cronenberg's only filmed remake to date with the 1986 body horror classic "THE FLY".  Starring Jeff Goldblum,  Geena Davis and John Getz.  A remake of the 1958 black & white classis starring Vincent Price. It's a twisted tale of a scientist gone mad that results in a botched experiment that transmutes the man into a monstrous insect. Not for the squeamish or faint of heart, we assure you. It begs the question of what happens when a man tries to play God and what the consequences can be.  If that doesn't sound intriguing to you, then you've got to check your pulse because you may already be dead. Our deep dive discussion and dissection on this film is headed off by Cameron Scott and Tom Komisar, the hosting duo of "Grindhouse Pizzeria". Buckle in because it's going to be a wild ride!   "The medicine cabinet is now the Brundle Museum of Natural History. You wanna see what else is in it?"

Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us. On today's episode, with the recent passing of Catherine O'Hara, Steve Riddle pays tribute to her by reviewing “Beetlejuice” from 1990 starring Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis & Catherine O'Hara.

In a culture that often reduces love to romance, we explore the science of love across the lifespan—revealing how our bonds with parents, friends, partners, and communities shape our health, happiness, and survival.Summary: Love is commonly understood as a feeling, yet scientific research increasingly points to its role as a core biological drive. In this episode of The Science of Love, we explore how love is expressed through caregiving, friendship, romantic attachment, and shared experience, and how these connections leave measurable effects on the brain, body, and even the microbiome. Scroll down for a transcription of this episode.Related The Science of Happiness episodes:  The Science of Love Series: https://bit.ly/TheScienceofLove36 Questions to Spark Love and Connection: https://tinyurl.com/ktcpz78uHow 7 Days Can Transform Your Relationship: https://tinyurl.com/bdh2ezhrToday's Guests:ANN DRUYAN is an author, activist, and documentary producer.Learn more about Ann Druyan's work here: https://tinyurl.com/5n8crkevDANIEL LEVITIN is a neuroscientist, musician, and bestselling author.Follow Daniel Levitin on IG: https://www.instagram.com/daniellevitinofficialJESSICA EISE is a social and environmental scientist and is an assistant professor of social and environmental challenges with Indiana University School of Public Health-Bloomington.Learn more about Jessica Elise here: https://jessicaeise.com/ANNA MACHIN is an evolutionary anthropologist who studies the evolution of love.Learn more about Anna Machin here: https://annamachin.com/FRANCESCO BEGHINI is a computational biologist at Yale University.Learn more about Francesco Beghini here: https://tinyurl.com/knm4du4mILANA BRITO is a biomedical engineering professor at Cornell University.Learn more about Ilana Brito here: https://tinyurl.com/mtnhw3ydCONSTANCE BAINBRIDGE is a Communication PhD student at UCLA.Learn more about Constance Bainbridge here: http://constancebainbridge.com/SANDRA LANGESLAG is a cognitive and biological psychologist who studies romantic love.Learn more about Sandra Langeslag here: https://tinyurl.com/523wc9wxMessage us or leave a comment on Instagram @scienceofhappinesspod.

MOVIE NIGHT! Join Tom, Dan, & Sarah as they take you out to the ball game with the 1992 hit and enduring cult classic, "A League of Their Own." America's desperate nostalgia for the 40s and 50s is matched and perhaps exceeded by the Marathon's own nostalgia for this TBS-once-a-week banger, wherein the towering and beloved Geena Davis is paired up with "the other one" to explore women breaking into the baseball boys' club amid the backdrop of the second World War. Tom Hanks is also there to yell and pee and rule what is and is not allowed in baseball. Contained within: the brutality of slapstick that doesn't land, Loving Lovitz, and solving sexism forever.

The Long Kiss Goodnight is a 1996 American action-thriller film co-produced and directed by Renny Harlin, and produced by Shane Black and Stephanie Austin from a screenplay by Black. It stars Geena Davis, Samuel L. Jackson, Tom Amandes, Yvonne Zima, Brian Cox, Patrick Malahide, Craig Bierko, and David Morse. The story follows an amnesiac schoolteacher (Davis) who sets out to recover her identity with the help of a private detective (Jackson) when they uncover a dark government conspiracy. The score was composed by Alan Silvestri.

I continue my reviews of unconventional Christmas movies with the yuletide classic, “The Long Kiss Goodnight”, in which you get scenes that mix automatic weapons, Christmas lights, yummy treats, bad beats, pies in the face, mistletoe and bombs that blow. Geena Davis plays Samantha Caine who can't remember most anything past 8 years ago but steadily is getting memories back. Meanwhile, the covert American government agency she, unbeknownst to her, was an assassin for, thought she was dead but now they know she's alive and they want to reverse that. Samuel L. Jackson plays Mitch Hennessey, a low-rent private eye, trying to help Samantha remember who she was. He gets caught in the crossfire as naughty government elves come to take Samantha's Christmas spirit away AKA put her in the ground. All the while, in the background, this movie drops the needle on some great Christmas tunes, which just makes this a bullet-riddled Christmas classic all the more. “The Long Kiss Goodnight” also stars Craig Bierko, David Morse, Brian Cox, Yvonne Zima, Patrick Malahide, Tom Amandes, Melina Kanakaredes, Joseph McKenna, Dan Warry-Smith, Rex Linn and Edwin Hodge. Support the showFeel free to reach out to me via:@MoviesMerica on Twitter @moviesmerica on InstagramMovies Merica on Facebook

"We are the monsters" — that's the premise for the genre of film known as body horror — movies that fixate on monstrous and grotesque changes to the body. There have been good body horror films and bad ones, but "The Fly" starring Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis was perhaps the most consequential. The movie captured anxieties around bodily autonomy and physical decay, just as the AIDS epidemic was becoming catastrophic. Forty years later, Body Horror is back with films like "The Substance" and "Together." Producer Matthew Lazin-Ryder examines what these films reveal about our bodies, our minds and our sense of who we are.

On this week's episode, Nick and Bella return as your favorite unlikely duo. Which is apt, as we dive into the work of one of the most impactful screenwriters of the last forty years, Shane Black. Over the decades, Shane Black's action screenplays have thrilled audiences. And in most of his pictures, he loves injecting a bit of the holiday season. Thus, A Very Black Christmas. We start with a game-changing classic. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover star in Lethal Weapon. Second, we explore an underappreciated gem. Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson throw jokes and bullets in The Long Kiss Goodnight. Finally, Shane Black makes his directorial debut in the film that helped revive Robert Downey, Jr.'s career in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Sonja's Movie Minute this week explores the directorial debut of Kristen Stewart, The Chronology of Water. Click here to listen to the interview that Sonja references in the episode. ❗️SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE ❗️Support the showSign up for our Patreon for exclusive Bonus Content.Follow the podcast on Instagram @gimmethreepodcastYou can keep up with Bella on Instagram @portraitofacinephile or Letterboxd You can keep up with Nick: on Instagram @nicholasybarra, on Twitter (X) @nicholaspybarra, or on LetterboxdShout out to contributor and producer Sonja Mereu.

“IT'S SHOWTIME!“Happy Halloween everyone! We hope you have a good night on the best holiday on the planet, and to celebrate we are releasing an spooky themed episode, just a year and some change after recording it! This episode will be on, Beetlejuice (1988,) directed by Tim Burton, starring Winona Ryder, Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, and Michael Keaton as the titular character himself!Tim Burton was the director for the odd ducks in our formative years, but what is it like revisiting peak Burton? Before the dark times, before the live-action Alice in Wonderlands? We talk about the classic Burton aesthetic that really came to fruition in what would be his second feature-length film. We talk about it's charm, but also how problematic parts of it are when considering some rather tone deaf takes he's had later on in his career. Tim Burton is no saint, but he's not the most controversial person in the film, not that it's a competitionIt wouldn't be Beetlejuice without Michael Keaton though. His performance has definitely withstood the test of time, even if some of the things his character are doing are definitely inappropriate and perhaps not as funny as we once thought they were. Keaton takes his limited screen time and created a character that got his own animated show, where he was retconned into a chaotic good, undead bestie of Lydia. Is the film just the Michael Keaton show though? Absolutely not. The film has an incredible cast and there is not a dull moment on the screen. Winona Ryder playing an over the top goth that fringes on parody, Baldwin and Davis playing the sweetest couple to ever appear in a Burton film to contrast the villainous Deetzs, particularly Catherine O'hara's Delia and her best friend Ortho, played by Glenn Shadix (RIP.) We get into some behind the scenes as well! We talk about the transformation the film went through from the first draft to the final product. The unnamed producer who referred to the film as career ending filth, the behind the scenes romance, the planned sequel, and more! We hope you enjoy this one! You can listen to this episode ANYWHERE you get your podcasts! You don't have to go to Spotify or Apple! If you don't see our show on your podcast preference of choice, just DM us on our socials and we will get right on it! Have a happy and safe Halloween!

David Cronenberg's The Fly (1986) stars Jeff Goldblum as Seth Brundle, a brilliant scientist who creates a teleportation process using telepods. Geena Davis, who was Goldblum's real-life partner during the filming, plays the ambitious journalist Veronica who falls in love with Brundle. Coming in at approximately an hour and 36 minutes, Cronenberg's remake of the 1958 movie (which was based on a 1957 short story) packs a lot in, getting right to the mad scientist's lab then plenty of body horror, experiments with flesh, and a bizarre transformation. Brundle, who teleports himself during a drunken pity party, did so with a fly on board. Since the computer doesn't know what to do with these two separate entities, it fuses them, resulting in Brundlefly, and utter tragedy.

When he transports himself with a fly, he begins a slow, painful transformation into the Fly that mirrors the descent into sickness of a loved one.

Former star player Jimmy Dugan. Jimmy Dugan sucks. He's an alcoholic who only takes the gig to make some money so he can buy more booze. He doesn't want to be there, which forces Dottie to step up as the team's leader.As the league grows more and more popular, the stadiums start selling out. The teammates bond, and everything is going great — until the guy running the league makes Dottie the face of it, which upsets her sister and ultimately leads to Kit getting traded.The Peaches finish the season with the league's best record, qualifying for the World Series.

Zo had gone apartment hunting over the summer. His fortunes had changed and he could, for the second time, move out of his mother's house (and, though she professed love and admiration and was sure to remind him that he could come back home anytime - Zo was sure that she was glad to see him go). Zo looked at a lot of apartments, most of which he could barely afford. One particular apartment , that was well within his budget, was legitimately terrifying. It was definitely haunted. Zo definitely saw ghosts. One in particular was as goofy and cantankerous as he was absolutely horrific. On the several times that he visited the place, that is, weighing the options of affordability while living with a poltergeist, the spooky specter appeared as a giant spider, a giant snake, and a frightening used car salesman. Even with all the different shapes that the spirit would take the thing maintained the same ghoulish drunken clown face. Ultimately, Zo decided against renting that apartment. He supposed that was the goal of the ghost haunting the place: to keep Zo from renting it. The other thing that Zo could remember from these encounters was that he could've sworn that the thing had a name . . . Did someone call it Beetlejuice?   Episode Chapters00:04:45 Opening Credits for Beetlejuice starring Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, and Michael Keaton00:14:47 Favorite Parts of the 1988 film Beetlejuice00:51:04 Trivia from the horror comedy Beetlejuice00:58:27 Critics' Thoughts on Tim Burton's Beetlejuice#Beetlejuice Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: fanmail@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

This week on Shat the Movies, we're beaming up Earth Girls Are Easy (1988)! Geena Davis stars alongside a furry, neon-colored trio of aliens played by Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey, and Damon Wayans in this outrageously ‘80s sci-fi musical comedy. It's got big hair, wild dance numbers, and plenty of interplanetary flirting. Tune in for a fun, glitter-filled trip through one of the weirdest rom-coms of the decade! Plot SummaryIn Earth Girls Are Easy (1988), director Julien Temple crafts a neon-soaked, musical sci-fi comedy that's as weird as it is wonderful. Geena Davis stars as Valerie, a valley girl manicurist in Los Angeles whose love life hits rock bottom after discovering her fiancé is cheating. But things take a turn for the bizarre when a spaceship crash-lands in her pool, carrying three fuzzy, brightly colored aliens played by Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey, and Damon Wayans. After a quick makeover at the beauty salon, the aliens transform into irresistible human heartthrobs who quickly adapt to life in late-80s California. Valerie decides to help them explore the strange customs of Earth shopping malls, nightclubs, and love. As romance blossoms between Valerie and Mac (Goldblum), the film dives into fish-out-of-water antics, musical numbers, and some genuinely charming moments of connection. What makes Earth Girls Are Easy stand out is its unapologetic embrace of the absurd. The film's pastel visuals, synth-heavy soundtrack, and campy humor perfectly capture the late-80s aesthetic. Supporting performances from Julie Brown and Michael McKean add even more flair to an already offbeat cast. It's a wild mash-up of rom-com, musical, and sci-fi that doesn't take itself seriously for a second. Join our podcast as we revisit this cult classic and ask: does this intergalactic love story still sparkle, or has it crash-landed for good? From body waxing aliens to valley girl charm, we're breaking down all the glittery madness.

What happens when we wake up in midlife and realize we've become someone we never intended to be? Award-winning playwright and filmmaker Brooke Berman joins us to explore this profound question through the lens of her debut feature film, "Ramona at Midlife," which recently premiered at Geena Davis' Bentonville Film Festival.Brooke shares her remarkable journey from acclaimed playwright to first-time film director at 52—a rare achievement in an industry where first-time directors are typically men under 35. Her candid reflections on creating an authentic female leadership style reveal the delicate balance between collaboration and direction on set, shooting an entire feature in just 15 days.The conversation takes unexpected turns as we discuss the liberation that comes with midlife awakening. When we were 25 and imagined our future selves at 50, most of us pictured someone who had "done the heavy lifting" and was essentially coasting. Reality proves far more dynamic and challenging, but also more rewarding than we ever anticipated.Most powerful is Brooke's insight about self-acceptance: "If I don't love the person I am right now in my imperfect skin, then what are we talking about?" This revelation, alongside her disciplined approach to self-care through morning rituals of meditation, yoga, and gratitude practices, offers a blueprint for thriving in our fifth decade.Whether you're approaching midlife, navigating its complexities, or looking back on it, Brooke's story will inspire you to embrace your authentic self and recognize that evolution doesn't end at 50—it often accelerates in the most beautiful, unexpected ways.Connect with Brooke. Listen now, and then watch "Ramona at Midlife" on Apple TV, Amazon Prime, or Fandango at Home to continue the conversation about reinvention and self-discovery.Ready to FEARLESSLY FACE all the F WORDS – be inspired and encouraged?
