Podcast appearances and mentions of Gene Hackman

We recorded a conversation about a recorded conversation! Join us for this deep dive into Francis Ford Coppola's seminal New Hollywood Palme d'Or winner The Conversation. The eulogies continue with this episode celebrating the great Gene Hackman. We discuss his masterful performance as Harry Caul, a surveillance whiz who hears something on a job that he wishes he hadn't and gets caught up in a moral conundrum. Topics include: the Severance theme song, John Cazale's “type”, and why The Directors Company failed.

The story takes place during a professional football players' strike. With the playoffs approaching, the fictional Washington Sentinels suddenly need an entire team of replacement players. Team owner Edward O'Neil turns to former coach Jimmy McGinty, played by Gene Hackman. McGinty agrees—but only if he gets to choose his own players. At the top of his list is Shane Falco, played by Keanu Reeves. Falco was once a promising quarterback, but after a disastrous college performance, his football career fell apart. By the time McGinty finds him, he's scraping barnacles off boats. But McGinty sees something in Falco that Falco doesn't necessarily see in himself. So begins one of the strangest recruiting drives in movie history.If you are new to the podcast then please consider following us on the platform that you love, we can be found most anywhere that you listen to your favorite podcasts.

This week in the Screening Room, Zeth is talking about bugs, wiretaps, hidden cameras, and the 1998 Tony Scott film ‘Enemy of the State’ starring Will Smith and Gene Hackman.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright revisit this 2008 Shia LaBeouf thriller, and both agree the movie itself is far from great even as its central concept lands eerily well from 2026. Expect a genuine appreciation for the film's prediction of an all powerful centralized AI system that manipulates the world through digitized objects, some pointed complaints about the shaky cam action filmmaking era it came from, and a real conversation about algorithmic control, epistemology, and why people arguing about elections might be missing the bigger picture entirely. There's a memorable riff on manufactured threats designed to scare people into compliance, plus some fun listener shoutouts and a debate about which underrated Gene Hackman movie deserves a rewatch. Stick around for next week's pick, a surprisingly conspiratorial Batman film that digs into information warfare more than you'd expect from a comic book movie.  

Tonight we cover a movie our fans decided on and it's the Gene Hackman classic, The Royal Tennenbaums.  Is it the Wes Anderson movie that will win over our hosts?  Tune in and find out!!!

Top officials from the U.S. and several other member states skipped a group of 20 major economies' finance ministers meeting in South Africa this week, raising questions about the group's continued relevance.美国和其他几个成员国的高级官员缺席了本周在南非举行的二十国集团财长会议，人们开始质疑该集团是否继续具有重要意义。Kate Bartlett reports from Johannesburg. The two-day meeting in Cape Town ended without a communiqué, with current G20 leader South Africa saying there was not sufficient consensus to issue one.凯特·巴特利特（Kate Bartlett）在约翰内斯堡报道。在开普敦举行的为期两天的会议没有发表公报，现任二十国集团领导人南非表示，双方没有达成足够的共识来发表公报。In his opening remarks at the event, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa referred to the fractured geopolitical climate and stressed the importance of international cooperation.南非总统西里尔·拉马福萨在会议开幕致辞中提到了支离破碎的地缘政治气氛，并强调了国际合作的重要性。"At this time of global uncertainty and escalating tension, it is now more important than ever that the members of the G20 should work together."“在全球不确定性和紧张局势不断升级的当下，二十国集团成员国比以往任何时候都更需要共同努力。”But it appeared the world's largest economies were not able to find common ground on a number of issues.但看起来，世界最大的几个经济体在许多问题上都未能达成共识。The finance ministers meeting was beset with similar problems faced by last week's G20 foreign ministers meeting in Johannesburg, which laid bare the discord in current geopolitics.此次财长会议面临着与上周在约翰内斯堡举行的二十国集团外长会议类似的问题，这也暴露了当前地缘政治的不和谐。U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent skipped the event amid a spat with host country South Africa and after the U.S. criticized the themes around climate change and solidarity, equality and sustainability. Kate Bartlett, VOA News, Johannesburg.美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特因与东道国南非发生争执而缺席此次活动，此前美国批评气候变化和团结、平等和可持续性等主题。美国之音新闻记者凯特·巴特利特在约翰内斯堡报道。President Trump said on Thursday that his proposed 25 percent tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods will go into effect on March 4特朗普总统周四表示，他提议对墨西哥和加拿大商品征收25%的关税将于3月4日生效，and threaten an extra 10 percent duty on Chinese imports over what he said were drugs pouring into the U.S. from those countries. Reuters correspondent Alex Cohen has more.并威胁对中国进口产品征收额外10%的关税，因为他所说的药品从这些国家涌入美国。路透社记者亚历克斯·科恩（Alex Cohen）带来更多报道。Canadian and Mexican officials were due to meet with Trump administration counterparts in Washington on Thursday and Friday to try to firststallthe tariffs, which could deal a serious blow to a highly integrated North American economy.加拿大和墨西哥官员将于周四和周五在华盛顿会见特朗普政府的同行，试图先推迟征收关税，这可能会对高度一体化的北美经济造成严重打击。Trump's comments on the matter during his first cabinet meeting on Wednesday seem to suggest that he may push the deadline back for about one month until April 4.特朗普在周三的第一次内阁会议上就此事发表的评论似乎表明，他可能会将最后期限推迟大约一个月，即推迟到4月4日。Reuters correspondent Alex Cohen. A search warrant shows that Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman, his wife and one of their dogs had been dead for some time before being discovered.路透社记者亚历克斯·科恩报道。搜查令显示，奥斯卡影帝吉恩·哈克曼、他的妻子和他们的一条狗在被发现之前已经死了一段时间。AP correspondent Donna Warder reports. A maintenance worker entered the couple's Santa Fe, New Mexico, home Wednesday and found their bodies.美联社记者唐娜·沃德（Donna Warder）报道。一名维修工人周三进入这对夫妇位于新墨西哥州圣达菲的家，发现了他们的尸体。They say one of their dogs, a German shepherd, was found dead in the bathroom closet, but two other dogs, one inside the home and one outside, were found alive and well.他们说，他们的德国牧羊犬被发现死在浴室的壁橱里，但另外两只狗，一只在屋内，一只在屋外，被发现时还活着，而且很健康。A sheriff's detective says the couple didn't have any wounds and that there were no signs of a carbon monoxide leak or carbon monoxide poisoning. I'm Donna Warder.一名警长侦探说，这对夫妇没有任何伤口，也没有一氧化碳泄漏或一氧化碳中毒的迹象。我是唐娜·沃德。

Brilliant screenwriters, hilarious storytellers, & insightful cinephiles Larry Karaszewski (ED WOOD & THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT) & Dan Waters (HEATHERS & BATMAN RETURNS) return for their 3rd appearance on Watch With Jen. Choosing a genre purely for entertainment & curiosity's sake, rather than one they're especially devoted to, in this briskly paced, raucous, laugh-filled conversation, Larry & Dan are our 2 flight attendants leading us on a mostly chronological journey of earthquakes, fires, rollercoasters, swarms, avalanches, icebergs, & more in over 20 disaster movies from the 1970s. Filled with as many spoilers as there are old movie stars packed into the Hollywood phone-book-sized casts from these movies, where no character was safe, this engaging feature-length episode is another instant Karaszewski-Waters classic.Note: Having survived an epic weeks-long marathon viewing everything from the A-list and B-list of the decade, we lived through a disaster movie experience of our own, so this episode cover features our photos arranged like the cast headshots on the posters from AIRPORT, EARTHQUAKE, THE TOWERING INFERNO, THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE, & more.

Em 1974, Mel Brooks levou o público a uma viagem hilária pela Transilvânia com O Jovem Frankenstein. O filme acompanha o Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (Gene Wilder), neto do famoso criador de monstros, que insiste em pronunciar seu sobrenome como “Fronkensteen” para se distanciar da reputação da família. Mas ao herdar o castelo do avô, ele acaba se envolvendo em experimentos que trazem de volta à vida uma criatura desajeitada e surpreendentemente carismática.Filmado em preto e branco para recriar a atmosfera dos clássicos da Universal dos anos 1930, Brooks transforma o terror em pura comédia, com cenas icônicas como a dança “Puttin' on the Ritz” e diálogos que se tornaram eternos.Elenco principalGene Wilder – Dr. Frederick FrankensteinPeter Boyle – O MonstroMarty Feldman – IgorMadeline Kahn – ElizabethCloris Leachman – Frau BlücherTeri Garr – IngaKenneth Mars – Inspetor KempParticipação especial de Gene Hackman como o cego hilárioPIX: canalfilmesegames@gmail.comSiga o Filmes e Games:Instagram: filmesegames Facebook: filmesegames Twitter: filmesegamesSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5KfJKthIntro - 0:00 Young Fronkonstim - 7:53O que é "O Jovem Frankenstein"? - 8:33Notas dos agregadores - 11:50Tirando o bode da sala - 12:35Relembrando o filme - 28:17Os adereços do Frankenstein original - 38:37A cena mais elaborada do filme - 42:30O cego - 43:59Puttin' on the Ritz - 45:01Uma sequência dos clássicos da Universal - 46:12Porque o Gene Hackman tá no filme - 47:11Bilheteria - 48:39Premiações - 50:45Notas do Filmes e Games - 51:49Momento Locadora - 55:00Revelação do FGcast #438 - 1:47:47Dicas do FGcast #439 - 1:57:40

The boys are heading back to the decade of slick crime flicks, sharp dialogue and Hollywood cool for our Get Shorty 1995 Movie Review. This is peak John Travolta, riding the post-Pulp Fiction wave; Gene Hackman is doing comedy without really doing comedy, and Dennis Farina has arrived to swear at practically everyone in Los Angeles.Welcome back to Born to Watch, the Movie Review Podcast where we don't take the movies or ourselves too seriously.This week Whitey and Gow are joined by a returning Dan, who has finally wandered back into the studio after his extended sabbatical. It doesn't take long before old stories, old insults and the questionable exploits of 1990s G start flying around the room.But eventually, somehow, we get to Get Shorty.Adapted from the Elmore Leonard novel and directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, Get Shorty drops loan shark Chili Palmer into Hollywood and quickly discovers that the movie business might be even more crooked than organised crime. Chili comes to Los Angeles chasing money and ends up chasing something completely different, a shot at the movies.And nobody could play Chili Palmer quite like John Travolta.The boys dig into Travolta's incredible mid-'90s resurgence and why Chili might be one of his coolest performances. This isn't the dialled-up Travolta of Face/Off or the villainous version from Broken Arrow. Chili is controlled, confident, charismatic and almost impossible to rattle. As Whitey puts it, he's basically Vincent Vega without the heroin problem.Then there's Gene Hackman as B-movie producer Harry Zimm. Hackman was apparently reluctant to play comedy, which makes his performance even better. He plays Harry almost completely straight while chaos unfolds around him, and the result is bloody funny.Rene Russo brings Karen Flores to life, Danny DeVito sends up the Hollywood superstar as Martin Weir, Delroy Lindo is outstanding as Bo Catlett, and a pre-Sopranos James Gandolfini turns up as Bear.But then there's Dennis Farina.Farina's Ray "Bones" Barboni has no interest in becoming a producer, landing a movie deal or joining Hollywood's endless bullshit machine. He wants his money. That's it. His delivery, aggression, and complete inability to understand why everyone else is suddenly obsessed with making movies produce some of the episode's biggest laughs. By the time the boys get to Star of the Show, Farina is very much in the conversation.The real star, however, might be the dialogue.The boys talk about how Get Shorty captures Elmore Leonard's distinctive rhythm, humour and effortless conversations. Whitey remembers absolutely hammering this movie after first seeing it at Hoyts with the boys, watching it repeatedly on VHS because he loved the back-and-forth between the characters.That leads perfectly into Film School for F-Wits, where Dan dives into Elmore Leonard. Get Shorty was Leonard's favourite adaptation of his work, and the boys explore the run that also gave us Jackie Brown and Out of Sight. Dan also breaks down Leonard's famous approach to writing, including natural dialogue, avoiding unnecessary exposition and one beautifully simple philosophy: if your writing sounds like writing, rewrite it.There's also plenty buried in Listen to This, including the actors considered for Chili Palmer, Danny DeVito originally being lined up for the role, James Gandolfini's performance attracting the attention of David Chase, Tarantino's connection to the project and Travolta's determination to protect Leonard's dialogue.Add The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, 1995 movie memories, Quickfire, quotables and the G-Man's wonderfully ridiculous Born to Get Shorty Kick Arse Credit Song, and we've got ourselves another proper Born to Watch outing.Is Get Shorty still one of the smartest crime comedies of the '90s? Does Travolta's Chili Palmer remain one of cinema's coolest operators? And can Dennis Farina steal an entire movie simply by being Dennis Farina?There's only one way to find out.Join Whitey, Gow and Dan as Born to Watch heads to Hollywood, where everybody wants to be in the movie business, even the gangsters.#GetShorty #GetShortyMovie #JohnTravolta #GeneHackman #DennisFarina #ElmoreLeonard #90sMovies #MovieReview #MoviePodcast #BornToWatch

This week we're diving in (get it?) to one of the most successful and well-known of the disaster epics of the 1970s, Irwin Allen's first disaster feature: the Poseidon Adventure. Taking place on New Year's Eve, an old cruise ship is on its last voyage to port in Athens when a sudden rogue wave hits the ship and capsizes it, sending most of the passengers and crew to their deaths. A ballroom full of passengers manage to survive and make a plan to climb the ship and reach the thinnest part of the hull in hopes of being rescued but each one of them brings their own complications to make this the adventure of a lifetime. Starring an ensemble cast with Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, Red Buttons, and more, this movie took the model set by 1970's Airport and expands the scope and ambition for a truly suspenseful but clunky story with maybe too many characters for its own good.

"Just say, 'Dance, monkey, dance!'" My honorary kid brother from Oz, One Heat Minute Productions' podcaster Blake Howard, returns to the show this week to chat about two of our favorite filmmakers & actors in director Sidney Lumet's SERPICO with Al Pacino, and John Frankenheimer's FRENCH CONNECTION II, starring Gene Hackman.Join us for a tightrope walk down the thin blue line, that's one of a darker shade, with these films that show us the corruption, moral flexibility, power jockeying, and ethical gray area in late '60s, early '70s policing. So dress like a PINK PANTHER villain with a gold fish ring, put on your favorite hibiscus shirt, and travel to New York City and Marseilles for a look at these films that are often underdiscussed today.Note: This episode is dedicated to my very own childhood "Paco," a Marine turned police officer whose story I shared, who had his own SERPICO experience over 35 years ago, with a very different ending.

On episode 357 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by AwardsWatch contributors Josh Parham and Karen Peterson to go back 55 years and take a look at the 44th Academy Awards, covering the films of 1971. In another Oscar retrospective, the team go back this week to the start of the 1970s, where Hollywood was in a transition period within the films of the past; costume dramas and period pieces, and the films that would dominate the decade; auteur, original filmmaking from new voices in cinema. One of those voices was director William Friedkin, who broke big in 1971 with The French Connection, a neo-noir, action thriller about a narcotics detective trying to take down a big-time, connected drug dealer. The film was a massive success for the director and its star Gene Hackman, with the Academy awarding them Oscar gold. But will the team let Friedkin and company keep their Oscars? The Best Picture winner, alongside A Clockwork Orange, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, The Devils, A New Leaf, Dirty Harry, The Last Picture Show, Nicholas and Alexandra, Fiddler on the Roof, Harold and Maude, and more were mentioned on the show. In their in-depth discussion, the AW team talked about the film year of 1971, briefly discuss talk about The French Connection as a Best Picture winner, and how that speaks to the legacy of their nominates and or wins, do an extensive conversation over the below the line categories and nominees for the year, and then the new version of the AW Shoulda Woulda Coulda game, where instead of individual replacements, they must decide as a group who the nominees and winners should be in the top eight categories. The rules of the game state they can only replace two of the nominees that year from each category, except in Best Picture, where the group could replace up to three films to make up the final set of five nominated films. Like past retrospective episodes, it was a fascinating, fun conversation including spirited debates, alliances, vote swinging, celebrating various movies, performances that aren't normally talked about and more that we all hope you enjoy. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. You can also listen on the AW YouTube page. This podcast runs 2h26m. We will be back next week to talk about the latest film from the director David Robert Mitchell, The End of Oak Street. Till then, let's get into it. Music: "Modern Fashion" from AShamaleuvmusic (intro), "B-3" from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

This week on Born to Watch, we're diving deep beneath the surface for our Crimson Tide (1995) Review, revisiting Tony Scott's tense 1995 submarine thriller starring two absolute acting heavyweights, Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington. It's a film packed with military drama, explosive confrontations, unforgettable performances, and enough pressure to make anyone glad they never enlisted in the Navy.Whitey and Damo return to the captain's chair to break down one of Tony Scott's most underrated films, a movie that proves you don't need endless explosions to create edge-of-your-seat tension. When a US nuclear submarine receives an incomplete launch order during an international crisis, Captain Frank Ramsey (Gene Hackman) and Executive Officer Ron Hunter (Denzel Washington) find themselves locked in a battle that could determine the fate of the entire world.At its heart, Crimson Tide isn't really about submarines or nuclear weapons. It's about leadership.Gene Hackman delivers one of the most intimidating performances of his legendary career as the old-school Captain Ramsey, a man who believes orders are meant to be followed without question. Opposite him is Denzel Washington, calm, measured, and incredibly composed as Hunter, the officer who believes thinking before acting might just save millions of lives.The chemistry between these two acting giants drives every scene. Every conversation feels like a heavyweight boxing match where neither man wants to blink first. Whitey and Damo debate whose side they'd be on, whether Ramsey is a fearless wartime leader or simply an egotistical loose cannon, and whether Hunter's calm approach would really survive under the pressure of nuclear war.Of course, this is Born to Watch, so things quickly drift into discussions about sweaty submarines, impossible flat-top haircuts, George Dzundza somehow fitting through submarine hatches, Tony Scott's signature directing style, Hans Zimmer's early military score, and why James Gandolfini was already becoming Hollywood's go-to bloke for playing absolute jerks before The Sopranos.The boys also revisit Tony Scott's incredible filmography, comparing him to brother Ridley Scott, while reminiscing about classics including Top Gun, True Romance, The Last Boy Scout, Enemy of the State, Man on Fire, Deja Vu and more. Is Tony Scott one of the greatest blockbuster directors of the 1990s? The debate certainly gets underway.As always, there's plenty of Born to Watch goodness along the way. Expect the IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes comparisons, the VHS synopsis, the 1995 Hit, Sleeper and Dud, plenty of movie trivia, questionable observations, and enough laughs to break the tension inside the USS Alabama.The discussion also shines a light on the incredible supporting cast. Viggo Mortensen appears long before becoming Aragorn, James Gandolfini is perfectly cast as another intimidating authority figure, while early performances from Ryan Phillippe and Steve Zahn provide plenty of "I forgot they were in this!" moments.The episode also explores whether Crimson Tide deserves its reputation as one of the greatest submarine films ever made. How does it compare to The Hunt for Red October? Is Gene Hackman's Captain Ramsey one of cinema's best military leaders or one of its most dangerous? Does Denzel Washington quietly deliver one of the finest performances of his career?If you love intense thrillers, powerhouse acting performances, Tony Scott's kinetic filmmaking style, or simply enjoy hearing four mates argue passionately about movies while constantly getting distracted by completely unrelated topics, this episode is for you.So grab your popcorn, secure the launch keys, and prepare to dive deep into one of the smartest action thrillers of the 1990s.Have you seen Crimson Tide? We'd love to know whose side you're on. Was Captain Ramsey right to follow orders without hesitation, or did Hunter make the only decision that could save humanity? Join the conversation across all our social channels and let us know your thoughts. Don't forget to subscribe, leave us a review, and tell a movie-loving mate about Born to Watch.

Walter shares his own medical saga, claiming that the Covid vaccine gave him temporary "pharmaceutically induced Parkinson's" and made all food except plain oranges and unadulterated steak taste like rotting garbage. Plus, New Mexico broadcaster Eddie Aragon drops in to unravel a wild conspiracy theory involving Gene Hackman's Santa Fe estate, a tragic hantavirus outbreak, and alleged secret Illuminati tunnels hidden beneath his house. Throw in callers sharing quarantine horror stories, political rants, and one incredibly generous listener offering to fund Walter's vacation to Bermuda on his credit card, and you have a classic, chaotic hour of talk radio.

Boomtown violence, kinetic camera work, and an absurdly stacked cast—this week we're diving into The Quick and the Dead (1995). Is it a comic-book pulp masterpiece or a stylish mess? We discuss Sharon Stone handpicking Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe, Gene Hackman's terrifying charm, and how Sam Raimi injected his signature comic-book kineticism into the classic Western genre.

Hay westerns que cuentan la leyenda. Y luego está Unforgiven, la película que decidió desmontarla pieza a pieza. Una obra maestra que cuestiona el mito del pistolero, la violencia y la gloria del Oeste con una crudeza y una profundidad pocas veces vistas en el cine. En este programa nos adentramos en una de las grandes cumbres del género, dirigida y protagonizada por Clint Eastwood, quien firma una despedida magistral del western clásico mientras construye una de las historias más humanas, amargas y devastadoras de toda su carrera. Analizamos la figura de William Munny, un antiguo asesino que intenta dejar atrás un pasado lleno de sangre, pero que se ve obligado a empuñar el revólver una última vez. Hablamos de la brillante construcción de sus personajes, de la extraordinaria interpretación de Gene Hackman como el despiadado sheriff Little Bill Daggett, del inolvidable Ned Logan de Morgan Freeman y del papel que desempeña el joven Schofield Kid en esta historia sobre culpa, redención y violencia. También debatimos sobre cómo Sin Perdón desmonta los clichés del western tradicional, mostrando un Oeste sucio, cruel y alejado del romanticismo de las viejas películas. Aquí no hay héroes perfectos, ni duelos elegantes al atardecer. Solo hombres marcados por sus decisiones y un mundo donde cada disparo tiene consecuencias. Por supuesto, repasamos su impresionante dirección, su sobria fotografía, su inolvidable banda sonora y el enorme legado que dejó tras conquistar cuatro premios Óscar, incluyendo Mejor Película y Mejor Director. Junto a Mario, Fer y el Mamado Lidel, nos reunimos para analizar una película imprescindible, llena de grandes interpretaciones, diálogos memorables y momentos que ya forman parte de la historia del cine. Porque algunas leyendas nacen con un disparo. Y otras mueren con él.

We finally sat down to watch one of our most requested comedies of the '90s, and it turned into one of our favorite first-time movie experiences yet! From Robin Williams' and Nathan Lane's unforgettable comedic timing to Hank Azaria's Agador and that Gene Hackman surprise, we get why so many people have told us to watch it for years!

And what better way to commemorate 700 episodes than with three movies from the 1970's? Alright, two movies from the 70's and one move from the early 80's but feels decidedly 70's. Up first, Francis Ford Coppola directs Gene Hackman as a surveillance specialist who gets caught up in the intrigue of the couple he's spying on in 1974's The Conversation, with appearances from Harrison Ford, Frederic Forrest, Cindy Williams and Teri Garr.Next, a decorated WWII solider comes home to his struggling family farm, but soon gets entangled in a revenge plot at the behest of a wealthy gambler in The Farmer from 1977. And finally, a colorful cast of celebrities, including Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, Farrah Fawcett, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Adrienne Barbeau and Jackie Chan (among many others) compete in a cross-country road race where wacky hijinks ensue in Hal Needham's Cannonball Run from 1981.All this plus Sean gets smoked out, news about The Devils returning to theaters uncut this year, R.I.P Damon Zex, tips for buying weed at Subway, a new What We Do in the Shadows movie in the works, A24 goes A.I. and so much more!LISTEN NOW!MP3 Direct DonloydAlso, if you like the show, please take a minute and subscribe and/or comment on us on iTunes, Stitcher, Blubrry or Podfeed.net.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 2 (6.19) Conway kicks off the hour with the one and only Neil Saavedra in studio — now officially “Flaco” after dropping 27 pounds in two weeks following bariatric sleeve surgery. Neil breaks down the new world of sipping, portion control, and eating dime-sized bites while Conway reacts the only way Conway can. Then the crew gets into the average weight of men around the world, Neil accidentally absorbing World Cup fever, and Foosh taking “as the crow flies” way too seriously. From crows flying 20 to 30 miles per hour to measuring distance like a “sparrow fart,” the conversation goes full Conway. Later, the Boyle Heights cold warehouse fire reignites for a third time, while Neil reveals he is building a remote-controlled R2-D2 in his shop. That launches the crew into Star Wars talk, Disney buying Lucasfilm, the massive value of the franchise, C-3PO weight loss goals, Andor confusion, and why Popeyes is actually named after Gene Hackman’s character from The French Connection. The hour wraps with yet another Boyle Heights warehouse flare-up, because apparently this fire has more comebacks than a Star Wars sequel.

In this week's episode, we celebrate queer joy in movies with three hilarious films that are widely considered classics among the LGBTQ community. - We start with a bonafide classic. Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, and Gene Hackman star in the side-splitting Mike Nichols film, The Birdcage. - Second, Natasha Lyonne and Clea Duvall wow audiences in the creative and subversive cult gem, But I'm A Cheerleader.- Finally, our audience voted for another cult favorite in the rom-com/spy thriller D.E.B.S. All of these films offer fresh perspectives on the queer experience and bring a welcome sense of joy to their audience.

In this episode of The Art of Costume Podcast, our hosts head to South Beach to celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Birdcage. From Albert's dazzling life as Starina and Armand's effortlessly chic nightclub-owner style to the unforgettable fashions of the Birdcage performers, every costume is larger than life. Along the way, we celebrate the iconic work of costume designer Ann Roth, Spencer goes on and on about Christine Baranski, and yes, we absolutely have to talk about Gene Hackman in drag.So pour yourself a pirin tablet and join us for a joyful celebration of one of cinema's most beloved comedies.

Pride Month keeps the celebration moving on We Drink & We Watch Things as we transition from the quiet, burning embers of 18th-century France to the bright, neon-soaked drag capital of South Beach. For our "G" selection in the lineup, we are throwing it back to 1996 for Mike Nichols and Elaine May's sublime masterclass in comedic farce: The Birdcage. Mix yourself something wonderfully refreshing - perhaps Lemar's "Straight" Bourbon - and get ready for a family dinner where absolutely nothing goes according to plan.This week, we celebrate the legendary chemistry between Robin Williams and Nathan Lane, looking at how Williams plays the perfect, anchored straight man (pun intended) to Lane's fiercely dramatic, Barbara Bush-redefining Albert. We bask in the glorious, scene-stealing supporting work of Hank Azaria as the perpetually barefoot Agador Spartacus and Gene Hackman as the ultra-conservative Senator Keeley, who unwittingly ends up in the drag escape of a lifetime. We also break down the film's incredible heart, discussing how beneath the chaotic Martha Graham choreography, the "eco-friendly" naked-boy pottery, and the frantic attempts to pass as straight, it is a deeply moving portrait of unconditional love and a radical defense of queer families.If you can instantly recite the difference between a John Wayne walk and a regular walk, or if you just want to hear us gush about the comedic genius of an Elaine May screenplay, this episode is pure joy. We're blending our adoration for this comfort-movie masterpiece with our usual casual banter, proving that when the world gets crazy, sometimes you just have to give 'em a little bit of Fosse, Fosse, Fosse!This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming up.

Rambo Van Halen is a pseudonym. He's a Hollywood producer — the real kind, the below-the-line kind, the guy making sure the steel gets to the factory — who worked in the industry for decades, walked away in 2019, and wrote a book about it.The book is called Hollywood Samizdat: Notes from Below the Line. It's published by Passage Press. Lou read it. He dog-eared it. They talked for an hour. Topics include: what a producer actually does (mostly administration, definitely not what people think); what happens to actors when nobody says no to them for 20 years; the feminization of Hollywood and why straight guys stopped being able to do their jobs; military veterans vs. film school graduates on set (no contest); Werner Herzog, Klaus Kinski, and the Amazon river; the unwritten casting rule about who can and can't be the butt of the joke; MeToo — the careers it should have ended, the ones it shouldn't have, and the Joe Gatt story that will make your jaw drop; and why Rambo Van Halen is not his real name and probably never will be.

Hosts Josh and Jamie and special guest writer-director Alex Russell (LURKER, THE BEAR, BEEF) discuss 90s revisionist westerns co-starring a villainous Gene Hackman with a double feature of Clint Eastwood's iconic, Oscar-winning and deeply weary/melancholy funeral for the genre UNFORGIVEN (1992) + Sam Raimi's playfully manic cartoon of the same archetypes and iconography in THE QUICK AND THE DEAD (1995).

Sarah and Susie are disturbed by the Hantavirus outbreak on the cruise, and we reminisce about our introduction to the virus thanks to Susie's (unofficial) work on the Gene Hackman investigation. Sarah learned about a collaboration between Prego pasta sauce (??) and Story Corps that will allow you to record family conversations to preserve oral traditions, but we think these people clearly do not know what most family's conversations are actually like. Sarah is working on the Amelia Earhart cold case, and some people now think she landed and made distress calls for days after the plane went missing. She also talks about the Should I Marry a Murderer documentary about a pathologist whose partner confesses to murder, and she faces adversity and mental health issues trying to do the right thing with the information.00:00 - From Pop Songs to WNBA Sports Knowledge06:06 - Floating Toilets & Rodent Poop on Cruises15:43 - Recording Family Dinners with Prego & Story Corps30:18 - Unraveling Amelia Earhart's Fate & Murder Mysteries40:35 - Dresser Drawers, Patriarchy, and Kentucky Derby History49:53 - Should Al Help Us Talk to Animals?

Today's Headlines: The ceasefire is officially dead — Iran fired on multiple ships in the Strait of Hormuz after Trump said escorting vessels through the strait would be totally chill and Iran said that would be a ceasefire violation, and then Iran fired anyway. The UAE is also reporting missile attacks on a fuel facility and ships off its coast. Trump responded by holding remarks at the White House where he bragged about the economy, called it a "mini war," and mentioned he scored well on a cognitive test — so there's that. In slightly better but don't-get-excited news, the Supreme Court issued a one-week temporary order restoring mail access to mifepristone while they figure out what they actually want to do, which is great for approximately the next seven days. On the redistricting front, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is dispatching a congressman to Albany to work on a new New York map, though realistically nothing gets implemented before 2027. There was also a shooting near the Washington Monument shortly after JD Vance's motorcade passed through — Secret Service exchanged gunfire with an armed man, a nearby child was hit and is reportedly okay, and the White House went into lockdown briefly while everyone figured out what was happening. Meanwhile, Trump is apparently offering Senator John Fetterman a financial windfall plus a full endorsement if he switches parties, which Fetterman publicly says is a hard no — though privately, per Politico, he's being a little less emphatic about it. In trial news: Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni settled their lawsuit hours before she walked the Met Gala red carpet, terms undisclosed; UK police are working to bring a suspect in the 2007 Madeleine McCann disappearance to trial, complicated by Germany's extradition laws; and a judge denied Sam Bankman-Fried's request for a new trial, calling his claims baseless, so he's staying in prison for 25 years unless he somehow charms his way into a Trump arrangement. And finally, three people on a cruise ship have died from what WHO believes is a hantavirus infection — the same illness that killed Gene Hackman — with at least three more confirmed cases and five suspected, because apparently we needed one more thing to worry about.

Veteran character actor James Karen appeared in over 80 movies, more than 100 television shows and a staggering 5,000 TV commercials. In a career spanning nearly 7 decades (!), he's worked with Frederic March, Lauren Bacall, Gene Hackman, Steven Spielberg, Jane Fonda, Robert Redford and Will Smith, to name a few. Gilbert and Frank phoned James to cover a wide range of topics, including his film debut in the immortal “Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster,” his years-long friendship with the legendary Buster Keaton and his experience sharing a townhouse with Marlon Brando, Wally Cox and Maureen Stapleton. Also, James “sells” Craig T. Nelson a haunted house, a Boy Scout uniform leads to an acting career and a controversial “Jeffersons” episode nearly torpedoes a TV pitchman gig. PLUS: James parties with Clark Gable! Gilbert gets a one-cent residual check! Moe Howard recites from “The Tempest”! And James teaches a teenaged Michael Douglas to drive!
