Another career that spanned decades like Gene Hackman was Diane Keaton's. She was nominated for Oscars and commanding the screen from the 70s through the 2000s. Our main introduction came in Father of the Bride in 1991, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. Keaton's crowning moment came with Annie Hall in 1977. With that in mind, our draft this week is movies where the whole title is the name of a character.

IN this installment of SCL the conversation turns to conflicts of interest, price guides, and how the hobby leans on data. Jeremy, Chris McGill (HoJ), and Josh Adams unpack a pointed question about Beckett running both a price guide and a grading company, and whether that structure was ever as conflicted as people now claim it to be. From there, they move into how PSA uses Card Ladder as one data source, what Card Ladder Value actually is, and why no single comp should ever be treated as “the” price of a card. Topics in this segment include: • Beckett's price guide plus grading model and whether the real concern is what would happen if someone launched that structure today• How conflicts exist everywhere in business and why safeguards and transparency matter more than pretending they do not• Chris's breakdown of Card Ladder Value, confidence levels, and why different sales of the same card can show different CL values• Dan's Gene Hackman one-of-one example and why getting a “good buy” can make algorithmic estimates look off• The problem with overreliance on comps and why the hobby is nothing like an efficient stock market• How shill bidding, thin markets, and buyer ignorance can distort individual sales• Josh's card show story about sellers who freeze when there is no recent comp and what real critical thinking should look like• Arena Club's “where collecting begins” slogan and a candid debate on repacks, gambling, and what collecting actually is• Whether Card Ladder is a price guide or simply a historical data tool that PSA and others use for due diligence Sports Cards Live streams live on YouTube every Saturday night, and this audio comes from that live video show.

We're starting December by looking back at the careers of some of the titans we lost this year. First up: Gene Hackman. His career spanned decades with highs in 60s, 70, 80s, and 90s. We'll give you fun facts and look back at several of his best films. The movie we really discovered Hackman in was Hoosiers. In that honor, we draft our favorite sports movies.

Este é o último episódio do ano e desta vez voltamos a falar sobre Francis Ford Coppola. Fred Almeida recebe os amigos Fábio Rockenbach (curso "A Experiência do Cinema") e Rafael Amaral (blogue "Palavras de Cinema") para debater o brilhante "A Conversação" (The Conversation, 1974) produção mais pessoal do cineasta e do mesmo ano em que ele lançaria um de seus filmes de maior sucesso, a segunda parte da trilogia "O Poderoso Chefão". Com atuação magistral de Gene Hackman, num roteiro do próprio Coppola, o filme ganharia a Palma de Ouro em Cannes e serviria de influência para vários thrillers do período.Música utilizada: "Early Summer" de Tokyo Music Walker.-------------------------------LINKS PARA ADQUIRIR O LIVRO DO PFC ("Uma Jornada pelo Cinema - Anos 1950"):UICLAP - https://loja.uiclap.com/titulo/ua98290/AMAZON (capa dura e e book) - https://www.amazon.com.br/dp/6501481376-------------------------------Acesse nosso site: http://www.filmesclassicos.com.brInstagram: @podcastfcProcure "Podcast Filmes Clássicos" no seu aplicativo de podcast do celular, no Spotify, YouTube, Anchor ou iTunes.

Aujourdʹhui dans Travelling nous nous mettons dans la peau de policiers new-yorkais et nous partons traquer la drogue du côté de Marseille. Nous remontons la French Connection dans ce film policier américain réalisé par William Friedkin en 1971. Gene Hackman y est incroyable en flic incorruptible, raciste et véritable machine à pister les dealers. Il recevra lʹoscar du meilleur acteur pour sa prestation. Face à lui, Fernando Rey qui joue un riche criminel français, et Roy Schneider qui lʹaide pour camper la vraie histoire des flics du New York Police Department au département des narcotiques, ceux qui ont enquêté en 1962 sur les réseaux de la French Connection, organisation criminelle qui importait, depuis la France, la majeure partie de l'héroïne consommée aux États-Unis. Le film fait un triomphe à sa sortie. En France, il arrive auréolé de 5 oscars, y compris celui du meilleur réalisateur pour William Friedkin. Il sʹaccompagne également de mesures drastiques en France pour faire tomber la plateforme de la drogue marseillaise. Lʹhistoire du film et celle des dealers corses et marseillais se mêlent dans ce travelling. Il est temps de plonger dans la lutte antidrogue sans y risquer notre peau.

Send us a textThis week on Fabulous Film and Friends we're going to pay tribute to the late, great Robert Reford and analyze just why this Hollywood icon belonged on the top of Mt. Olympus long before vanity, sanctimony and crass commercialism ruined his artistry. In other words, before he tarnished his legacy with offensive tripe like The Legend of Bagger Vance, the execrable Indecent Proposal and most especially by appearing as a generic schmoe bad guy #5 in Marvel movies, he was literally the undisputed KING of the Hollywood Hill starting with 1969's Downhill Racer directed by Michael Ritchie co-starring Gene Hackman, Camilla Sparv, Kenneth Kirk, Jim McMullan, Walter Stroud and Dabney Coleman in his ever so brief dreamboat era. Then Redford was his solid oakiest in 1972's Jeremiah Johnson directed by Sydney Pollack and co-starring Will Gear, Delle Bolton, Josh Albee, Paul Benedict, Jack Covin and Stefan Gierasch. And he showed us all how paranoid thrillers were done with 1975's 3 Days of the Condor directed once again by Sydney Pollack and co-starring Faye Dunaway, Max Von Sydow, John Houseman and Cliff RobertsonI'm your host Gino Caputi leading my dream team of scoffers and detractors, lil sis Roseanne Caputi and photobug/actor/gadfly Alex Robertson. Before we hit the trails on career highlights, the synopses:Downhill RacerAn arrogant young skier, David Chappellet, rockets to the top of the U.S. ski team, heedlessly chasing medals, without regard for his teammates or his Coach who tries without success rein him in. ⸻Jeremiah JohnsonA war-weary loner heads into the Rockies to live off the land and find peace, but the wilderness has other notion, transforming Jeremiah Johnson from naive pilgrim to Legendary Crow Killer, forged by experience and hardship. ⸻3 Days of the CondorMild-mannered CIA researcher Joe Turner, aka Condor, goes out for lunch and comes back to find everyone he works with dead. Suddenly Condor finds himself hunted, running from his own agency and clinging to the one woman who might trust him. Can he unravel the truth — before the deep state eats him alive?Why was Robert Redford the Hollywood GOAT? Find out!Watch the podcast on Youtube:https://youtu.be/zy0CtssU0-0

Impitoyable, Unforgiven en anglais, un film de Clint Eastwood sorti en 1992 est un western crépusculaire et violent. Lʹhistoire dʹun ancien tueur, retraité, veuf et père de famille, sans le sou, qui sʹassocie à un jeune cow-boy inexpérimenté et complètement miro et à son ancien comparse, esclave affranchi, pour aller toucher une prime de 1000 dollars en vengeant une prostituée défigurée par un client humilié. La recherche du criminel, la figure du shérif, également tueur pas si repenti, les questions des droits de prostituées, des femmes en général dans le Far-West, les droits des anciens esclaves, la loi par les armes, et la légende de lʹOuest qui se construit, tout cela dresse un portrait violent et sans concession dʹune époque, celle des années 1880, quand la conquête est terminée et que les colons, installés, sʹéchinent à créer la société de demain. Clint Eastwood, cowboy décati, partage lʹaffiche avec Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, Richard Harris, Jaimz Woolvett, Francis Fisher et Saul Rubinek. Le casting est brillant, la direction dʹacteur également. Clint Eastwood revient au genre de prédilection qui lʹa fait connaître. Il est à la fois devant et derrière la caméra, réalisateur et producteur, sʹentourant dʹune équipe de fidèles pour mener à bien ce projet qui marque les esprits, en renouvelant littéralement un genre quʹon disait moribond, voire carrément décédé, le western. Le film enthousiasme le public et la critique, par le jeu des comédiennes et des comédiens, par la beauté de la photographie, par ce côté sombre et désabusé, par cette narration différente du mythe de lʹOuest. Il rapporte 160 millions de dollars. Il en a coûté 14,4 millions. Et il remporte 4 Oscars dont celui du meilleur film et meilleur réalisateur pour Clint Eastwood en 1993. Ne tardons plus, le Kid de Schofield apprenti tueur est venu chercher William Munny pour emporter une prime aussi sanglante que vengeresse. Lʹargent est tentant et ramène Munny au cœur de la violence.

In this episode of our Mike Nichols Marathon we enter the 90s with a conversation about Postcards from the Edge. In this show you will hear us talk about the challenge of adapting a seemingly unfilmable material and how it was a task for its first-time author Carrie Fisher. We talk about the many facets of mirroring reality this movie allows, how it thinly veils its relationship with Carrie Fisher and her mother Debbie Reynolds and how it pulls no punches when it comes to describing the rotten core of Hollywood. We also spare a few comments on the way Postcards from the Edge poaches both from All that Jazz and Terms of Endearment, how Mike Nichols repaid an old debt to Gene Hackman and how Carrie Fisher's writing acumen remains thoroughly underrated.

Interview with Rebecca Pidgeon. Rebecca returns to talk about her new album Unillusion. Rebecca Pidgeon was born in Cambridge, MA and raised primarily in Edinburgh, Scotland, gravitating towards music as a child. Mom and Dad introduced her to the likes of James Taylor, while she eventually discovered both Kate Bush and The Sex Pistols on her own. She fronted the band Ruby Blue for three records before relocating to the United States where she launched her solo career. Fan favorite albums followed including The Raven (1994), The New York Girls' Club (1996), The Four Marys (1998), Tough On Crime (2000), and Behind the Velvet Curtain (2008), four songs appearing in the critically acclaimed film Red Belt. The ensuing decade saw her release Slingshot (2011), Blue Dress On (2013), Bad Poetry (2014), and Sudden Exposure to Light (2019). Praising the latter, American Songwriter affirmed, “She's the real deal,” and Glide Magazine noted, “Pidgeon's prolific work as a songwriter and vocalist is akin to the self- immersion she undertakes for her mesmerizing performances on camera.” In addition, she has captivated audiences on-screen as a much sought-after film and television actress. Among dozens of credits, she has appeared in celebrated classics such as The Spanish Prisoner (1997), State and Main (2000), and Heist (2001) opposite the likes of Gene Hackman, William H. Macy, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Additionally, she has appeared in blockbusters a la Red (2010) and NETFLIX's Bird Box (2018), to name a few. Unillusion offers eloquent testimony to Rebecca Pidgeon's continuing power as a storyteller on stage, screen or the recording studio with an uncanny ability to blend narrative depth and musical intimacy in a way that feels both timeless and current.

Send us a textWe open with the headline everyone's talking about: Saturday Night Live host Sabrina Carpenter dropping not one but two F-bombs during her performance. Was it an accident—or marketing genius? The crew recalls when saying that word on air could end your career (see: Charles Rocket, 1980) and marvels at how little anyone seems to care now. That morphs into a look back at TV's most shocking live moments, including the Bud Dwyer tragedy, and a reminder that some things on television really can't be unseen.From there the discussion shifts to streaming supremacy. The consensus? Apple TV+ might quietly be the new number one. Between prestige hits like The Lost Bus, Shrinking, and Lessons in Chemistry—and now Brad Pitt's F1 racing movie—Apple keeps outclassing competitors while HBO Max raises prices. Still, the question lingers: will F1 actually make Americans care about Formula One racing? Angelo's doubtful, Rhea's open-minded, and Glenn just wants to avoid another algorithm-driven flop.Naturally, that launches a Philly-centric tangent: the upcoming TV series about the making of Rocky that's currently filming around the city. The gang debates whether Sylvester Stallone's absence from the project is a bold move or a missed opportunity. Either way, they agree the story—and the city—deserve another moment in the spotlight.Jay's standing question of the week then takes over: If you could make a “making-of” series about any movie, what would it be? Glenn picks Caddyshack, calling it the most chaotic comedy production ever. Rhea goes with The Birdcage, imagining the behind-the-scenes magic between Robin Williams, Gene Hackman, and Nathan Lane. The group riffs on how both films were equal parts brilliance and madness, the kind of creative chaos that just doesn't exist anymore.Before signing off, everyone shares their weekly watchlist. Rhea recommends Maigret on PBS Masterpiece—a stylish French detective show that's surprisingly addictive. Glenn throws in And Then There Were None on Prime Video, an elegant Agatha Christie mystery, and The Lowdown on Hulu, a gritty noir starring Ethan Hawke. Angelo ends with The Perfect Neighbor on Netflix, a body-cam-style thriller that hits hard and stays with you long after the credits roll.LISTEN NOW to stay up to date on all you need to know regarding the latest and greatest in television and the big screens.MAKE SURE TO VISIT OUR SPONSOR: Steven Singer Jewelers!The TV Show is a weekly podcast hosted by Jay Black, with regular guests Angelo Cataldi and Rhea Hughes.

Send us a textAs the last four years, it's time for our annual salute to Scary Season on the pod --- a little film nosh to whet your appetite for the fun of Halloween ahead. Last season we went down one of the paths of the classic Universal Pictures lineup of horror films, with the foundational Dracula. This season, we're headed down another path of classics from the golden days of Universal, but the third in the series of this particular horror group. Not the film Frankenstein, not Bride Of Frankenstein, but the third and a nice addition (and the last that made sense) in the trail of the monster created by scientist Henry Frankenstein, the story of his human progeny. It's Son Of Frankenstein! You knew that was coming next! Why start with the third in the series? The first two, directed by James Whale, were great and foundational in their own right. But we do dislike Colin Clive chewing the scenery as Henry Frankenstein in the first two films, as well as a thin set of supporting actors. If we're going to have an actor chewing the scenery, how about Basil Rathbone? Or Bela Lugosi? Also, many scenes in Son are immediately recognizable, as Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder mined so much of the story and characterizations for their inimitable film Young Frankenstein. Sure, the blind man played by legendary Gene Hackman in Young rose from a story line in Bride --- credit where credit is due. But most of the rest is Son. It's just fun to watch and mark… Okay, that's settled…Website and blog: www.thosewonderfulpeople.comIG: @thosewonderfulpeopleTwitter: @FilmsInTheDark

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.

After a disappointing Superman III, Cannon Films graabed the rights and tried to bring success back to the Big Blu Boy Scout with Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. Reeve was back along with Margot Kidder and Gene Hackman. Up and coming stars Muriel Hemingway and Jon Cryer were added. Succes seemed to be in the cards. The movie had bad effects, a bad story, and it killed the Superman movie franchise for decades.Join Ty and RD as they discuss the movie Superman IV: The Quest for Peace and reflect on the legacy of one of the worst films ever made.Download the episode for free.

In this episode, Sean and James discuss the 1988 film BAT-21, which is based on the true story of U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Iceal “Ham” Hambleton, portrayed by Gene Hackman. After his aircraft is shot down behind enemy lines, Hambleton—an expert in electronic warfare with top-secret knowledge—must evade capture by North Vietnamese forces. The film centers on the intense rescue effort led by Capt. Bartholomew “Birddog” Clark, a reconnaissance pilot who maintains radio contact with Hambleton. The story highlights the dangers, sacrifices, and personal courage involved in the mission, culminating in a daring rescue under heavy enemy fire.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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?
