Podcast appearances and mentions of Gene Hackman

Mel Brooks' satirical classic reimagining the tale of the Frankenstein monster.  Starring Gene Wilder, Peter Boyle, Marty Feldman, Teri Garr, Cloris Leachman, Madeline Kahn and Gene Hackman.

Before RuPaul's Drag Race, there was The Birdcage—a 1996 comedy that gave us drag queens, dinner party disasters, and Robin Williams in a wifebeater. This week, Jackie and Danielle are joined by their fabulous pod pals Ajay and Jon from The Delicious Recap to relive the wigs, the scandals, and the iconic walk through South Beach. With Nathan Lane stealing every scene and Gene Hackman rocking a Barbara Bush cosplay, this film is both hilarious and historically queer.The gang dives into the movie's legacy, Robin and Nathan's casting switcheroo, and why Val might be the true villain of the story (spoiler: he needed therapy). From political hypocrisy to shrimp soup sabotage, this rewatch is as chaotic as Agador in loafers. It's heartfelt, it's hilarious, and yes, it's still got that We Are Family magic.·Season 5 Episode 10-—No More Late Fees ⁠https://nomorelatefeespodcast.com⁠909-601-NMLF (6653)—Follow Us on Social:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/nomorelatefees TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@nomorelatefees Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/nomorelatefeesYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@nomorelatefees Twitterhttps://x.com/NoMoreLateFees —CONQUERing⁠⁠myconquering.com⁠⁠10% Off Code: JACKIE10—The Delicious RecapInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/deliciousrecap/TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@deliciousrecap

As the final film in their Gene Hackman Arc, they analyze the movie's subtle brilliance, its portrayal of middle-aged malaise, and its deconstruction of film noir tropes. From discussing Hackman's character, Harry Moseby, and his personal struggles to addressing the film's puzzling plot and tonal inconsistencies, they unpack why 'Night Moves' remains a divisive yet compelling watch. With insights into the film's deeper meanings, the hosts also reveal their next arc focused on sports films, starting with 'Hoosiers.'

The mics pop like champagne as we usher Miami OG Lea Black back for part 2 in Dallas. What follows is a glitter cannon of gossip, gratitude, and girdle-tight life lessons—all in under an hour. Glitter vs. Grit Lea opens her designer diary: she once slid to the side so “drop-dead gorgeous” Joanna Krupa could shine, and even loaned baubles to castmates “starring in rented houses and leased Jaguars.” She applauds Bethenny Frankel's rag-to-Skinnygirl rise while roasting fame junkies who'll chase a camera “to the opening of an envelope.” Hollywood Stories & Humble Queens Grab your autograph book. Lea bumps into Faye Dunaway disguised in Juicy Couture, the boys accept a curbside first edition from Dyan Cannon, and Pol' watches Zoë Saldana crawl on the boutique floor to play with puppy SnowWhite90210. Patrik fires back: mistaking Courtney Love for a “homeless lady,” then auctioning Pamela Anderson's lap for $10 K at a gala. The moral, via icons Betty White and Anna Nicole Smith: class never goes out of style. Skincare Royalty & the Chump Army We chat about Lea Black Beauty serums, masks, and miracle oil and Pol' confesses he ditched Obagi for Lea Black Beauty. Cosmic Signs & Coffee Grounds Pol's 2nd half of Lea's Armenian coffee divination crowns Lea “queen of limitless lanes.” Two new ventures shimmer in the grinds: an affordable-housing empire for son RJ and a hush-hush jewelry play. The trio compare destiny detours—from a Phuket flight missed before the 2004 tsunami to pilots grounding planes on “feng-shui feelings.” Hot Topics & Runway Rundown Headlines fly: Gene Hackman's carbon-monoxide tragedy prompts a detector PSA. Jeff Bezos plans to rocket Lauren Sanchez, Gayle King, and Katy Perry into orbit—Lea yells “Prenup, please!”Fashion time: Pol' torches the RHOM reunion looks—Lisa Hochstein's iridescent foil (“Forever 21 clearance”), Larsa Pippen's emerald ruche, and Alexia's metallic mini—branding the set “Star-Wars prom.” By contrast, Greg Lotus's portrait of Lea in a bias-cut ivory gown is christened “Rich-Bitch Perfection.” Money, Morals & Mega-Billions Lea slams corporate layoff kings, privatized-FAA chaos, and royal PR spin. Her mantra: “Show me where you spend your money, time, and influence, and I'll show your values.” Love, Security & Limitless Hustle Coffee grounds confirm attorney/philanthropist Roy Black is Lea's steady North Star—“that box is forever checked.” With home secure, she juggles a dozen gigs and yearns for five more. Patrik crowns her the “Ozempic of people—one shot and your goals slim to what matters.” Lea's final words: “I feel naked—inside and out—but drape me in couture and 60 carats, darling!” This is another Hurrdat Media Production.

Devin & James are back in the DEN to conclude their discussion about one of the greatest American actors ever to hit the screen, GENE HACKMAN! This time around, we reach into some slightly more obscure territory. We get into his early Western work, in THE HUNTING PARTY and BITE THE BULLET. We also discuss two films he made with a frequent collaborator, Arthur Penn: the underappreciated TARGET and the stone-cold neo-noir masterpiece, NIGHT MOVES. Actress Joanna Cassidy shows up as a match for Hackman in THE PACKAGE and UNDER FIRE. We also discuss a couple of misfires that may fall short of greatness (or even goodness, in some opinions). Still, we make the case that Hackman makes them interesting watches anyway: LOOSE CANNONS (with Dan Aykroyd and an insane Hitler sex tape plot) and LUCKY LADY (which puts him in a literal throuple with Liza Minnelli and Burt Reynolds!!!!). All this, plus many more films to add to your list. We could have honestly gone into a third episode with Hackman as the headline topic, and we hope you join us to celebrate his unique presence in cinema. Gene Hackman was truly one of a kind.

In this episode, we delve deep into Francis Ford Coppola's 1974 classic, 'The Conversation,' starring Gene Hackman. We explore Hackman's exceptional performance as Harry Caul, the film's intricate narrative structure, and the thematic elements of surveillance, privacy, and paranoia. Our discussion also touches on the movie's compelling soundtrack, its connection (or lack thereof) to the Watergate scandal, and how it fits within the broader context of cinema and film noir. Additionally, we compare it to other surveillance-themed films like 'Blow Out' and 'Enemy of the State.' Join us as we unravel one of Hackman's most nuanced roles and discuss why 'The Conversation' remains a standout in both his career and 1970s cinema. Control Body Odor ANYWHERE with Mando and get $5 off off your Starter Pack (that's over 40% off) with promo code FOURPLAY at https://www.shopmando.com!

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to novelist  Matthew Specktor, whose new book, The Golden Hour: A Story of Family and Power in Hollywood, is out now and getting rave reviews. Matthew spoke to us about growing up behind the scenes in Hollywood as the son of an icon of the film industry, Fred Specktor, a super-agent of A-list Hollywood talent who is still going strong at 92 years old. With a roster of clients that included everyone from Robert DeNiro, Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, Danny Devito and many, many more, Matthew was brought up in and around the film business and had a firsthand look. Part memoir, part biography, part cultural history & part fiction, The Golden Hour has been priases in outlets such as NPR, the New York Times, the Kirkus Review, the LA Times and many more for it's unique look into Hollywood and the battle between art vs. commerce and much more. As this is his third book based on his take on Hollywood, Matthew is getting name-checked alongside iconic LA based, Hollywood centric authors such as Joan Didion and William Goldman and getting praise from authors like Jonathan Lethem and Griffin Dunne. High praise indeed. We get into that as well as how Matthew formed the book and the basis of his exploration into his family and the city formed him, shortly. Matthew's behind-the-scenes stories of how Hollywood was created in the second half of the twentieth century at Tinseltown institutions like MCA, William Morris and CAA beginning in the 1950s and where we are today, 70 years later a a large part of this episode. But we also hear personal stories about pranks the pre-rat pack played on him and his best friend Renee Estevez (daughter of Martin Sheen) in high school, what LA restaurants his family ate on special occasions, the cars and vanity plates of super agents in the City of Angelss and the movie theaters and books that shaped his youth on the Westside of Los Angeles. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast and if you've never had David Lynch tell you, you were more an artist than a deal maker at 13, take a listen because Matthew Specktor has. Everyone has a story.

There are plenty of LESSONS FROM GENE HACKMAN'S ESTATE PLANNING. https://youtu.be/HZI4oiP0ZtM It's a cautionary tale about managing changing circumstances. Proper implementation and monitoring has to be in place. Periodic reviews of the documents, asset titling, and staffing of the fiduciary roles are a must. Finally, understanding the family dynamics and desire for confidentiality are vital in putting the estate plan in place. The disposition of $80 million was at stake here. LAWRENCE D MANDELKER, Partner at the NEW YORK OFFICE OF VENABLE, and I discussed the fact pattern, what could have been avoided, and points to take away in one's own affairs. https://open.spotify.com/episode/1ndlYCQRiAokJ4FyATL9Te Transcription Frazer Rice (00:02)Welcome aboard, Larry. VENABLE ARTICLE ON GENE HACKMAN'S ESTATE Lawrence D. Mandelker (00:04)Thanks for having me, Frazer. Frazer Rice (00:05)This is, I wouldn't say it's fun talking about someone's estate, but this one's particularly interesting. We all remember Gene Hackman from Hoosiers and Superman and Mississippi Burning and all sorts of great movies. Unfortunately, his end was sad and as it turns out, Gene Hackman's Estate was complicated and public. From a planning perspective, we can learn a lot. ⁓ Take us through a little bit about where where Gene's estate kind of went from and ended up as far as a fact pattern. Fact Pattern in Gene Hackman's Estate Planning Lawrence D. Mandelker (00:37)Sure. So, you know, the news sort of surprised all of us when we heard that he had died. And then over the next couple of days and weeks and even months, more more detail came out. And as you said, it was pretty disturbing. But it seems as though Gene Hackman was a very successful ⁓ actor and he engaged in estate planning. Gene worked with attorneys, which is always a good thing to do it to work with people who are experts in the field And he had a you know a normal estate plan. He lived with his wife It seems like he had a little bit of a fractured family. It was not his first marriage. We learned after he signed his estate planning documents sort of things over the next 20 years sort of changed for him he He had some health issues. He was suffering from advanced dementia at the time he died and as we know his wife died from a virus apparently a week before. Then as the details came out we learned that he had the advanced dementia. There was a fractured family the the wife and his kids did not get along so well. It's unclear what the situation was with how much contact he did have with his children. But he had a will, he had signed it 20 years before he died. The facts changed. It looks like he hadn't reviewed it in a while. His attorney died so we have a sad situation here. Frazer Rice (02:12)Many lessons to get from that. Let's start with the first one. He definitely had ⁓ sort of dementia situations, cognitive dysfunction that eroded over the course of time. Maybe take us through a little bit about the scope of that issue. mean, it affects lots of people and a growing number every year and some things that should be in place because of that. Lawrence D. Mandelker (02:38)Yeah, you know, we all think we've got a lot of time and for someone who gets a diagnosis of dementia It's sort of a warning sign as soon as that happens that, you know, we never know when our time is going to come, but the dementia is sort of the warning. You know, maybe you're entering the second half of the game or the fourth quarter of the game. So maybe you should start getting your affairs in order while you still can. So it's a good ⁓ impetus to do that. You know, when we're looking at estate planning, there's, you you can do different types of estate planning, but really think about it as, you know, you can do it for yourself. You can do it- your loved ones and then you know for depending on the nature of your assets you can do it for tax purposes but you know getting ...

Send us a textThere's something uniquely satisfying about watching a ragtag group of misfits come together and triumph against impossible odds. In our latest episode, we dive into the 2000 sports comedy "The Replacements," where Keanu Reeves plays Shane Falco, a washed-up quarterback scrubbing barnacles off boats who gets an unexpected second chance at football glory.Behind every great underdog story is an eccentric cast of characters, and this film delivers in spades. From Jon Favreau's unhinged SWAT officer with anger management issues to Orlando Jones' lightning-fast receiver with "hands of stone," these replacement players represent the beautiful chaos that ensues when professional athletes go on strike. We break down how Gene Hackman's veteran coach Jimmy McGinty somehow transforms this bizarre collection of has-beens and never-weres into a functioning football team—with a little help from replacement cheerleaders recruited from the local strip club.The movie may not have broken box office records upon release, but it's packed with memorable moments that have given it staying power. We dissect the infamous jail cell scene where the entire team bonds through an impromptu performance of "I Will Survive," the Welsh kicker who smokes on the field while trash-talking opponents, and the sumo wrestler who carries multiple defenders into the end zone. Plus, we connect the film to its loose inspiration: the 1987 NFL strike where real-life replacement players for the Washington Redskins won all their games yet weren't awarded Super Bowl rings until decades later.Our episode culminates in an intense trivia showdown testing our hosts' knowledge of the film, with the loser sentenced to watch the critically-panned Borderlands movie as punishment. Listen to find out who proves they have the most heart—because as Coach McGinty would say, that's what separates winners from losers.Stardust Stories - Helpful Hands Podcast with Philip GarciaWelcome to Stardust Stories, where astrology meets real life with a healthy...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show
