Podcast appearances and mentions of Gene Hackman

A movie with this reputation and this level of talent should be expected to at least be a competent film. But somehow Clint Eastwood chose the most tepid, non-committal way to tell a story that has more in common with great existential novels than Westerns. And that might be interesting, if it weren't for the fact that this movie is also convinced it's a western. Gene Hackman is acting his ass off and being just about the meanest son of a bitch you've ever met. But everything else in this movie just feels totally and completely missed, and that's a problem we can't solve because it happens to be one of the most lauded films of all time.

I'm your huckleberry! It's a tale of two Wyatts as NostalgiaCast gallops back to the Old West with a double dip into TOMBSTONE (directed by George P. Cosmatos and starring Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer) and WYATT EARP (directed by Lawrence Kasdan and starring Kevin Costner and Dennis Quaid). Our friend / above average fanboy Joe Buttice of the Reel Spoilers podcast joins Jonny and Darin to discuss the wiiiildly different approaches to the legend of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday, the Gunfight At The O.K. Corral, and whether both versions stand better on their own or if they'd work better as an amalgam of aesthetics, writing, and performances.

Sean and Amanda return to continue their yearlong project of listing the 25 best movies of the 21st century so far. Today, they discuss Wes Anderson's ‘The Royal Tenenbaums,' one of the greatest father-figure movies of all time (starring Gene Hackman, giving one of the best father-figure performances of all time). They explain why they made the difficult decision to make this the official Wes Anderson selection for the list, discuss why there is nothing among his filmography that quite matches this unique energy, and wonder whether this is the best collection of needle drop moments from any Anderson movie ever made.

The film follows two drifters, Max Millan, a short-tempered ex-convict, and Francis Lionel "Lion" Delbuchi, a childlike former sailor as they journey across America with dreams of opening a car wash in Pittsburgh. The film explores themes of friendship, redemption, and the human condition, earning the Grand Prix at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival. Carlos shares his passion for films that predate his time and discusses what drew him to this particular film. He also delves into his career path and the importance of preserving and showcasing classic cinema. The screening will take place on September 18th at 6:30 PM at the Peoria Riverfront Museum.

“What happens when a bartender named Saucy takes a bar fight way too far—and why is a former NFL quarterback choking out bartenders in Wisconsin?”In this wild and hilarious segment of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive into two jaw-dropping stories from the world of bartenders that are equal parts absurd and unforgettable.First up: a chaotic scene at Grumpy's Underground Bar in Orlando, where bartender Jason “Saucy” Rosario earns his nickname the hard way—by allegedly stabbing a patron over a drink dispute and a mom joke gone horribly wrong. The crew breaks down the bizarre escalation, from Rosario's repeated “suck a D” taunts to the surreal moment when the bar owner casually tells police, “Saucy stabbed somebody and it's not okay.” The gang can't help but riff on the ridiculousness of a place called Grumpy's, underground brawls, and the Florida factor that makes everything just a little more insane.Then, things get even weirder with a throwback to Don “The Magic Man” Majkowski, the former Green Bay Packers quarterback who allegedly choked out a bartender at Brothers Bar in Wisconsin. The hosts paint a vivid picture of a bloated ex-NFL star claiming jealousy from younger men while reenacting a “Roadhouse”-style throat lift. Skin's comparison of Majkowski to “Gene Hackman at 65” and KT's disbelief that anyone would be jealous of him now are laugh-out-loud moments you won't want to miss.

This week, Shat The Movies heads to small-town Indiana, where basketball is life, second chances are rare, and Dennis Hopper is cold, coach—real cold. Commissioned by fantasy football champion Stephen J., 1986's Hoosiers is one of the most celebrated underdog stories in sports cinema, often hailed as the “best basketball movie ever made.” But does it hold up nearly 40 years later? Gene and Big D debate whether Gene Hackman's Coach Norman Dale is a genius strategist or just a guy yelling “four passes!” while waiting for Jimmy Chitwood to show up. Along the way, we question the town's obsession with high school hoops, the authenticity of Dennis Hopper's Oscar-nominated portrayal of Shooter, and whether the film skips a pretty important historical context about race in 1950s basketball. Was Hoosiers a masterclass in sports nostalgia, or just a paint-by-numbers blueprint for every “inspirational coach” movie that followed? And more importantly, should Ollie have ever touched the ball?

Host Scott is joined by special guest Liam H Dempsey to deep dive (pun very much intended) into Tony Scott's submarine classic "Crimson Tide."Over the course of the episode we talk about whether this is Tony Scott's best movie, whether it is the best submarine movie ever and how the film seems even better now than it did back in the 90s. Plus, we get into the messy business of how the script got completed (and Tarantino's weird contribution to it), how the navy were not a fan of this production and, of course, we talk extensively about the heavyweight act-off between the late, great Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington.

Battle for the Conn: Tony Scott's Crimson Tide You can never get enough Denzel Washington. This week Mr. Chavez & I sit down to talk the first of five collaborations with director Tony Scott, 1995s Crimson Tide. This first collaboration of Washington and Scott would fall almost directly in the middle of Scott's career and would be the fourth collaboration between Scott and the Don Simpson/Jerry Bruckheimer producing behemoth. This episode of WatchThis W/RickRamos takes a look at the relationship between Scott and his producing partners; the creation of the look and style that would come to define a great deal of 80s and 90s action films, as well as the relationship betwen Scott's style and what would later be adopted and expanded on by Michael Bay. We also take a look at the tremendous star power in pitting Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman against one another in a film that makes palpable argument for both of their characters. Two of the greatest actors of the last quarter of the 20th Century elevating everything about a film that Mr. Chavez & I are divided on. Take a listen and let us know what you think.

A delightful recap of a rather delightful Wes Anderson movie starring Gene Hackman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Stiller, and the Wilson brothers!

The Replacements is a movie that probably isn't amazing but it's one that we both enjoyed watching many times. We both were still playing high school football when this came out, so it had a pretty big impact on us. And pretty sure that this is the first film we've discussed since Gene Hackman's passing. This one features just the two of us. Enjoy!

"Chewing gum helps me think!" "Sweetie, you're wasting your gum." Robin Williams and Nathan Lane play a gay couple who own and run a nightclub in Palm Beach Florida when their son's fiance's conservative parents (Gene Hackman & Dianne Wiest) decide to drive down to visit. An instant classic with great laughs and a joyful message of love.

This week we're excited to present a conversation with cinematographer Fred Murphy as he discusses Hoosiers. Hoosiers played as part of our recently concluded retrospective celebrating the career of the late, great Gene Hackman. This conversation was moderated by FLC Senior Programmer Tyler WIlson. Few sports films land with the clarity, grit, and emotional lift of Hoosiers. Gene Hackman brings flinty, lived-in authority to Norman Dale, a disgraced coach seeking a second act in 1950s Indiana, where basketball is practically a religion. Directed with unflashy conviction by David Anspaugh and shot in real Hoosier gyms, this underdog story favors restraint over bombast, with Jerry Goldsmith's elegiac score and a quietly shattering turn by Dennis Hopper as a washed-up assistant adding unexpected weight. At its core is one of Hackman's most cherished performances—contained, weathered, and quietly magnetic—in a film that's less about victory than the long, uncertain work of earning it.

Brothers J and Drew discuss the 2003 legal thriller Runaway Jury which they enjoyed for the cast (including Gene Hackman) but not necessarily the writing.

Send us a textChristopher Reeve soars into cinema history in 1978's "Superman," a groundbreaking film that established the superhero blockbuster format we know today. Before Marvel, before Batman's dark reinvention, this was the movie that convinced audiences a man could truly fly.What makes this film so captivating decades later isn't just its place in history, but how it fearlessly embraces both cosmic scale and intimate humanity. From the crystalline landscapes of Krypton to the bustling newsroom of the Daily Planet, the film takes viewers on a journey that feels both alien and deeply familiar. Reeve's performance remains the gold standard for superhero portrayals - his ability to transform between the regal Man of Steel and the bumbling Clark Kent with nothing more than posture, voice, and confidence is a masterclass in acting that later Superman actors still measure themselves against.The film's vintage charm extends to its supporting cast and villainous plot. Margot Kidder's Lois Lane balances professional ambition with romantic vulnerability, while Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor occupies an underground lair beneath Grand Central Station that ranks among cinema's most memorable villain headquarters. The special effects, revolutionary for their time, might seem quaint today but still evoke wonder in their creativity and ambition. When Superman reverses Earth's rotation to turn back time - a moment of pure comic book logic - the film confidently embraces its fantastical nature rather than apologizing for it.Superman (1978) wasn't constrained by established superhero formulas because it was creating them. This freedom allowed for creative choices that modern superhero films might shy away from, yet they contribute to the film's enduring charm. Want to understand why superhero films dominate today's box office? Look no further than this pioneering classic that made us all believe a man could fly. Watch (or rewatch) it today and experience the birth of a genre that would eventually reshape cinema itself.Twitter handles:Project Geekology: https://twitter.com/pgeekologyAnthony's Twitter: https://twitter.com/odysseyswowDakota's Twitter: https://twitter.com/geekritique_dakInstagram:https://instagram.com/projectgeekology?igshid=1v0sits7ipq9yYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@projectgeekologyGeekritique (Dakota):https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwciIqOoHwIx_uXtYTSEbASupport the show

Here we are with another movie starring Gene Hackman. We have a weird habit of creating trilogies on this show and I don't have an answer why, but with that being said, we also love to talk about Derryk's HUGE MITTS!! For that, we salute you, Derryk, with our... normal... sized hands. As always, please enjoy our discussiont of The French Connection, Gene Hackman's acting prowess and of course... Derryk's gigantic paws. As always, we do this with song in our hearts and drink in our hands. Cheers!!

This week we're saddling up with The Quick and the Dead (1995), Sam Raimi's spaghetti western by way of a Looney Tunes fever dream. Sharon Stone rides into town with a score to settle, Russell Crowe tries to outrun his past, and Gene Hackman chews the scenery like it's a steak he overcooked himself. Leonardo DiCaprio is all charm and babyface bravado, and every gunfight is a crash zoom carnival of smoke, sweat, and a ticking clock. It's duels at high noon, showdowns at sundown, and the kind of over-the-top visual flair that makes you wonder if the camera's going to start shooting bullets too. We're locking, loading, and going full Raimi on this one. Did you enjoy the episode? Don't forget to hit that subscribe button and join us for more retro movie discussions! Want even more?

Joe's Shelf finally returns! In this series, I pick a movie that Ryan has never seen, we watch it, and then discuss. Groundbreaking concept for a podcast, I know. This time, in honor of Gene Hackman and Harris Yulin, I chose Night Moves - a 1975 neo noir directed by Arthur Penn. Man, do I just love a good private detective movie and Night Moves is one of the best to ever do it.  Support us on Patreon for tons of bonus content and features at: www.patreon.com/almostcultclassics.  You can also find us on X: Joe: https://twitter.com/joeramoni Ryan: https://twitter.com/ryanlancello And don't forget to check out our website and merch store: https://www.almostcultclassics.com

 Rennie and I are back with another installment of Kill or Be Killed, our exploration of crime films from the 70's and early 80's.  With the passing of Gene Hackman, this episode is somewhat in memoriam of a great, prolific actor.  THE FRENCH CONNECTION established Hackman as a force in Hollywood as well as heralding in a new wave of darkly realistic crime movies. Intro:    “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill Outro: “Black Magic Woman” – Santana

Originally published 11th April 2024. Our series on 'movies about presidents' continues with a fun discussion of this 1997 'thriller', written by legendary Hollywood screenwriter William Goldman based on the debut novel of David Baldacci, starring/produced/directed by noted chair-interviewer Clint Eastwood, and boasting a splendid cast - including recently-deceased screen legend Gene Hackman - none of whom are given anything very interesting to do. Clint plays a suave cat burglar - with the unlikely name of Luther Whitney - who accidentally witnesses the president of the United States sexually assaulting a woman (far-fetched, right?) and getting her killed. All Hell then persistently threatens but repeatedly fails to break loose. Instead we get a slow, aimless, half-baked movie filled with good elements that don't cohere or go anywhere special. It sparked an amusing conversation though, as we hope you will agree. Full episode was originally exclusive for Patreon subscribers. Please consider donating to help us make the show and stay independent.  Patrons get exclusive access to at least one full extra episode a month.

ICYMI, this episode aired in March of this year. In this episode, I dive into the latest pop culture news. We discussed Christine Brown's upcoming memoir and the mixed reactions it's receiving, as well as the drama surrounding her Instagram comments. I also provided updates on the ongoing "It Ends With Us" lawsuit involving Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, and the curious case of Brandon Sklenar's brooch. We touched on the tragic deaths of Gene Hackman and his wife due to a rare rat-borne illness, and I passionately supported the "Free Wendy" movement for Wendy Williams.

Willow stars Warwick Davis, Val Kilmer, Joanne Whalley, Jean Marsh, Patricia Hayes, Billy Barty, Mark Northover, Pat Roach, David Sternberg, Phil Fondacaro, Tony Cox, Kevin Pollak, Rick Overton, and Gavan O'Herlihy as Airk; directed by Ron Howard.

“He's the walking dead!” - Eric on contemporary Sly's look On this week's episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza launches into month two by celebrating the Totally Cool Awesome 80s! First up, we're talking about the stupidly-titled Rambo: First Blood Part II! How funny is it that this movie pulls a complete 180 on the philosophy of the first film? How great is Sly's hair in this one? Couldn't they have had a few more action scenes with Martin Kove? How wild is it that Predator completely ripped off the Rambo covered in mud bit? And why didn't Murdock get a rockin' death in this? PLUS: Fellow veterans, Bebop and Rocksteady, meet John Rambo!
