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.

In honor of the James Gunn Superman, we continue our Supermonth! This week on Myopia Movies, we leap tall plot holes in a single bound and confront the chaos of Superman II (1980)—a sequel caught in a tug-of-war between two directors, studio meddling, and a trio of space fascists in disco pajamas. We ask: Does the Man of Steel's second outing still soar, or does it crash under the weight of tonal whiplash, questionable powers, and a very random kiss of forgetfulness? Join us as we revisit the strange saga behind the scenes, mourn the Donner cut that could have been, and try to figure out how cellophane chest symbols became an acceptable weapon. Tune in, or kneel before Zod. Make sure to like and subscribe wherever you are getting this! Please leave us a review and follow us everywhere! How will Superman II (1980) hold up?

Film guru Ben O’Shea joined the show to discuss the latest superhero blockbuster, Superman. Smiley asked, “Was David Corenswet convincing as the new Man of Steel?” Maybe not as impressive a specimen, but yes. The film is fun and doesn’t take itself too seriously. Nicholas Hoult is great as Lex Luthor, possibly the best since Gene Hackman, but the two real scene-stealers might come as a surprise. Director James Gunn, the creative force behind the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, brings a loving and thoughtful approach to this film. Smiley asked Ben, “How many Choc Tops out of five did you give it?” Tune in to find out.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For our Gene Hackman season we just completed, we were supposed to close it out with our episode on Gene's terrific performance in THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS.  We recorded it, but due to a technical issue we were unable to release it, and decided at the same time to cover Wes Anderson for our next season.  So we re-recorded a discussion of THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS for this episode.  Please send any and all feedback to anotherlookpod@gmail.com.  Please follow us on Instagram @anotherlookpod, and rate/review/subscribe where ever you get your podcasts.

If you've ever rooted for the underdog, Hoosiers probably lives rent-free in your head. The 1986 classic isn't just about basketball—it's about second chances, small-town pride, and what happens when people start believing in themselves and each other. Set in 1950s Indiana, the film follows a high school basketball team no one expects to win… until they do. In this episode, we explore why Hoosiers continues to resonate in classrooms and communities alike. From Coach Norman Dale's controversial methods to the redemptive arc of Shooter, the town drunk turned assistant coach, there's no shortage of teachable moments. At its core, Hoosiers is a story about grit, growth, and the undeniable impact of mentorship. Whether you're an educator, a coach, or just someone who still gets chills watching the final game, this episode breaks down what Hoosiers has to say about leadership, trust, and building belief in unlikely places.   Takeaways: Coach Dale's insistence on fundamentals—and his refusal to compromise—highlights the tension between tradition and transformation in education and leadership. Shooter's redemption arc is a powerful reminder of the importance of giving people a chance to rise when others have written them off. The tiny gym, the limited roster, the towering opponents—it all reinforces the idea that success isn't about size, but about heart, unity, and vision. "Don't get caught up in the size of the arena"—a lesson for educators and students alike. Great things can come from the smallest places when expectations are high and support is strong.     About Dr. Deborah Kerr: Dr. Deborah Kerr is proud to serve as Superintendent of St. Francis Public School District, where she is leading a bold vision to become the best version of SFPSD yet. With a deep commitment to student-centered, equity-focused, and future-driven education, Dr. Kerr is focused on building strong partnerships with staff, families, and the community. Through her listening and learning tour, she's discovered a shared passion for diversity, dedication to student success, and an unwavering belief in the potential of every learner.

The gritty, dark revisionist Western “Unforgiven” is not only widely regarded as one of Clint Eastwood's greatest works– as both actor and director– but is also one of only 4 Westerns to ever win an Oscar for Best Picture. Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at this classic film, including a brief tribute to legendary Gene Hackman, whose portrayal of ruthless sheriff Little Bill Daggett also earned him an Oscar.  What movies inspired David Peoples as he was writing the script? Why did Gene Hackman initially turn down the role of Little Bill? How does “Unforgiven” have a feminist thread in it, according to Clint Eastwood? And what's the story behind two alternate endings that were filmed, but then discarded?  You'll have a hard time forgiving yourself if you miss this fascinating episode!

Only three years after the franchise seemingly ended with Dominion, Jurassic World roared back into theaters this past weekend. Despite a strong box office showing, many critics and audience members seemed disappointed by the film we got, but did it work for us? Stick around until the end to hear our rankings of the entire franchise now that we have reviewed them all as well as our upcoming schedule. We will be back next week with the Francis Ford Coppola-directed classic film, The Conversation starring the late, great Gene Hackman!

In this laugh-packed segment, the gang dives into the newly updated list of the highest-grossing actors of all time—and the results are as surprising as they are entertaining. From wild guesses like Gene Hackman and Yoda (yes, Yoda) to a passionate defense of Vin Diesel's box office dominance, the crew's banter is fast, funny, and full of unexpected turns.

Following the death of legendary actor Gene Hackman, details came to light about his estate plan. Because he and his wife died so closely together, it was unclear who actually died first. This set off a chain reaction that led to disputes over his substantial estate. In this episode, we examine cautionary tales of celebrity estate planning nightmares and how you can avoid them. Later, we share how retirees are earning actual income from their hobbies.

Our Summer of Superheroes reaches its climax with arguably the most important movie in the genre's history: Richard Donner's 1978 film Superman, starring Christopher Reeve, Gene Hackman, Margot Kidder, and a firmly on-book Marlon Brando. Join in as we discuss the geophysics of Lex Luthor's evil plot, the other attempts to put Superman in cinemas, the nearly two-year shoot, and our favorite real estate schemes. Plus: What ideas did Brando have to reduce his workload? Did Donner have a phone in his bathroom? What was the original plan for the time travel finale? And, most importantly, is Clark Kent more super or more man? Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe!

Send us a textWe had to go all the way back to the 70s to find a movie where Superman was actually cool and, man oh superman, does this one deliver.  Who needs crappy-looking CGI villains when you have the horrifying Ned Beatty and an ascot-wearing Gene Hackman.  Throw in some pre-meltdown Margot Kidder and the perennial whacked out Marlon Brando and this one writes itself.  We loved this one as boys and couldn't find a reason not to like it still.  But we give it our best shot anyway.

Look up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's the original comic book superhero, whose name, characteristics, and even his vulnerability have transcended the comic book medium and have entered everyday vernacular. Seriously, I had to look up another word for “Kryptonite” just now while writing this summary because I wanted to say that Superman's Kryptonite was….. yeah.Today's root beer is Sodabeers.Intro and Outro music by Stockmusic331 on Pond5Send us a text

  In our latest tribute, Janet, John, (and Pen) celebrate the life and career of a revered American actor whose career spanned over four decades... Gene Hackman! After serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, he decided to prove his teachers wrong and move to New York City to become an actor, eventaully getting his breakthrough role in Bonnie and Clyde (1967). From playing a rough NYPD detective to Superman's arch nemisis, Hackman did it all, with over eighty screen credits to his name! An acting titan of 1970s and 80s Hollywood, the two-time academy award and four-time Golden Globes winner starred in numerous classics such as Bonnie and Clyde (1967),  I Never Sang for My Father (1970), The French Connection (1971), Superman films (1978–1987), Hoosiers (1986), Unforgiven (1992), The Royal Tenenbaums (1994), and more up until his final film role in Welcome to Mooseport (2004), after which he retired from acting, occasionally narrating documentaries until 2017.  To learn more about this episode and others, visit the official Cinema Sounds & Secrets website!

Chris Paul and Burning Bright dive deep into the 1995 submarine thriller Crimson Tide, exposing its layered regime propaganda and eerie relevance to current global tensions. Against the backdrop of recent narrative warfare around Iran's nuclear program, the hosts dissect how the film primes audiences to trust government authority, dismiss rebels as threats, and frame preemptive strikes as justified. They explore how Denzel Washington's and Gene Hackman's characters represent competing modes of deference, to protocol versus to power, and how these dynamics mirror today's media, military, and political theaters. With precision and wit, Chris and Bright unpack the manipulation of moral perception, the dangers of uncritical obedience to “expert intel,” and the propaganda value of nuclear threats as a narrative ticking clock. Alongside commentary on Trump's narrative maneuvers, CIA information pipelines, and the spectacle of war as politics by other means, this episode is a compelling study in 5th-gen warfare, on screen and off.

"Kneel before Zod!" Not even a "please." Movie villains were rude back in the '80s. And Zod, Ursa, Non and Lex Luthor were no exception. Spanning cities, countries and even planets, Superman 2's bad guys really had our hero putting in the frequent flier miles. But now, decades later, does all the action leave us jetlagged. How many villains is too many? And shouldn't Superman have consulted Lois Lane about giving up ALL of his super powers? The Old Roommates find a phone booth and revisit the Christopher Reeve adventure through their middle-aged lens.

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).

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.
