Podcast appearances and mentions of Gene Shalit

There's a new werewolf movie in theaters, which means Matt demanded we review it. So join us as we discuss Leigh Whannel's new Universal Monster update, WOLF MAN, starring internet darling Julia Garner. Is it the howling good time Matt hoped for? Or is it, as Gene Shalit would say, a big ol' WOOF? We also do a news segment (a rarity on this show) with an equal dose of good and bad entertainment news that includes David Lynch's passing, the cancellation of Frasier, and some promising developments for  Macon Blair's Toxic Avenger reboot.

From original posting: "The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" welcome back special guest and "Saturday Night Jive" podcaster George who has devised a special game just for them. He's been eager for weeks to talk about the strange experience that is "The Book of Henry" and has come up with a game to best illustrate the even more strange paths the movie takes. The guys round out the episode with another round of their pun-heavy game So Shalit Be and mourn the loss of Harry Dean Stanton in a typically insufficient way. Available on iTunes Episode 189 includes: -Our long national nightmare is over: J.J. Abrams is returning to direct "Star Wars: Episode 9." -Nate finds Darren Aronfosky's "mother!" to be an interesting allegory, but knows it will be hated. -George cites two 2017 movies that stuck with him, "The Circle" for all the wrong reasons and "Wakefield" for all the right reasons. -This Week's Game I -- And Then...? -George describes sections of the plot of "The Book of Henry" and asks Ben and Nate to predict what will happen next. they are often wrong as this movie reveals itself to be absurdly wrong-headed. -This Week's Game II -- So Shalit Be! -The guys take their turns coming up with Gene Shalit-worthy blurbs for the likes of "Room," "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World," "Hackers," and more."

Im zweiten Teil dieser Episode blicken wir auf Glaubensvorstellungen abseits von Religion, begleiten den unkonventionellen Weg einer jungen Jüdin zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts, fragen uns mit einem großen Filmemacher, ob Jesus jemals in Versuchung geraten ist, reisen ins ländliche, zutiefst katholische Irland der 80er Jahre, bevor wir uns mit drei Brüdern nach Indien aufmachen und abschließend noch eine höchst umstrittene Glaubensgemeinschaft ansprechen.

The on-the-spot pitching of what could have been 2019's "Hellboy" is genuinely awesome and surprising.  "The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are trying a new hybrid game/pitch this week in honor of the astounding "Hellboy" reboot, so the guys will pitch a new version of a Hellboy movie using random plot elements decided by dice rolls every so often. It's amazing that it's not only cohesive, and awesome, but easily better than the film in theaters.  Available on iTunes and Spotify Episode 235 includes: -Star Wars is back with a TV show, a new trailer for Episode IX, a new title, and more... of the old. -"Missing Link" is the least Laika film yet but still charming. -Nate declares "Dragged Across Concrete" is one of the best films of 2019. -Ben is flabbergasted by the "Hellboy" reboot. -This Week's Pitch -- Switch the Pitch (Hellboy)! -The guys roll a dice to select new plot additions (New Character/Flashback/Plot Twist/Action Scene/Death Scene/Sex Scene) and pitch, on the spot, a new "Hellboy" and it is awesome. This lasts a half hour! -This Week's Game -- So Shalit Be! -The guys conclude with another rousing edition of impersonating film critic/social deviant Gene Shalit and coming up with increasingly absurd blurbs for films."

Show SummaryOn today's episode, I'm having a conversation with Frederick Marx, an internationally acclaimed Oscar and Emmy nominated filmmaker with over 40 years in the film industry. We have a conversation about a recent project, a series of five films called Veterans Journey Home, which features the stories of veterans who are working to transition to post-military life and the insights of professionals that support themAbout Today's GuestFrederick Marx is an internationally acclaimed, Oscar and Emmy nominated director/writer with 40 years in the film business. He was named a Chicago Tribune Artist of the Year, a Guggenheim Fellow, and a recipient of a Robert F. Kennedy Special Achievement Award. His film HOOP DREAMS played in hundreds of theatres nationwide after winning the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival and was the first documentary ever chosen to close the New York Film Festival. It was on over 100 “Ten Best” lists nationwide and was named Best Film of the Year by critics Roger Ebert, Gene Siskel, Gene Shalit, and Ken Turran and by the Chicago Film Critics Association. Ebert also named it Best Film of the Decade. It is one of the highest grossing non-musical documentaries in United States history. It has won numerous prestigious awards, including an Academy Nomination (Best Editing), Producer's Guild, Editor's Guild (ACE), Peabody Awards, the Prix Italia (Europe's top documentary prize) and The National Society of Film Critics Award. The New York, Boston, LA, and San Francisco Film Critics all chose it as Best Documentary, 1994. Utne Reader named it one of 150 of humanity's “essential works,” and the Library of Congress recently added it to its prestigious National Film Registry, and the International Documentary Association named it “The Best Documentary of All Time.” HOOP DREAMS (1994) is the film that first interested Marx in the welfare of teenage boys. BOYS TO MEN? (2004) distributed by Media Education Foundation takes that as its central theme. RITES OF PASSAGE: MENTORING THE FUTURE is the culmination, offering solutions. In 1993, Marx received an Emmy nomination for HIGHER GOALS (1992) for Best Daytime Children's Special. Producer, Director, and Writer for this national PBS Special, Marx directed Tim Meadows of “Saturday Night Live” fame. Accompanied by a curriculum guide, the program was later distributed for free to over 4,200 inner city schools nationwide. THE UNSPOKEN (1999), Marx's first feature film, features stellar performances from Russian star Sergei Shnirev of the famed Moscow Art Theatre, and Harry Lennix, most known for GET ON THE BUS, BOB ROBERTS, TITUS, ER, and MATRIX. A hobbyist songwriter, in 1991 Marx recorded a number of his songs collectively known as ROLLING STEEL. Two of those 11 songs are used over THE UNSPOKEN tail credits and one is used in BOYS TO MEN?. THE UNSPOKEN and ROLLING STEEL are available through this website. Having worked for a time as an English and creative writing teacher, Marx began his movie career as a film critic, and has worked both as a film distributor and exhibitor. He has also traveled extensively. He's lived in Germany, China, and Hungary. He's traveled repeatedly through Western and Eastern Europe, North Africa and Himalayan India. With a B.A. in Political Science and an MFA in filmmaking, Marx has coupled his formal education with a natural gift for languages, speaking German and some Mandarin-Chinese. His interest in languages and foreign cultures is reflected in PBS' international human rights program OUT OF THE SILENCE (1991), the widely acclaimed personal essay DREAMS FROM CHINA (1989), and Learning Channel's SAVING THE SPHINX (1997). He consulted on Iranian-Kurdish director Bahman Ghobadi's feature TURTLES CAN FLY (2004) and was a teacher of renowned Thai feature filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Three of Marx's films premiered at the New York Film Festival. His films are distributed throughout the web, on Amazon, and elsewhere. Having dedicated his life to the making and promotion of independent films, Marx, a true maverick in the increasingly commercialized world of “independent cinema,” continues to provide a voice of artistic and social integrity. He repeatedly returns to work with disadvantaged and misunderstood communities: people of color, abused children, the working poor, welfare recipients, prisoners, the elderly, and “at risk” youth. He brings a passion for appreciating multiculturalism and an urgent empathy for the sufferings of the disadvantaged to every subject he tackles. As his mission statement indicates (“Bearing witness, creating change”), his is a voice strong and clear, and profoundly human. Links Mentioned In This EpisodeVeterans Journey Home WebsiteWarrior Films Resources PagePsychArmor Resource of the WeekThis week's PsychArmor resource of the week is the PsychArmor course Seeking Support. Transitioning from military service can evoke strong emotions.

“If it bleeds we can kill it.” Listen, Arnie, you may be able to take down the Predator, but you CAN'T take down Gene Shalit! That ‘stache don't bleed!Yes, it's been a loooong wait, but the boys are back to warm up your fall pumpkin lattes with…hot summer movies! This week the guys hop back to Summer 1987 to revisit Jack Nicholson and THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK, Paul Verhoeven's satirical sci-fi gore-fest, ROBOCOP, Costner and crew as THE UNTOUCHABLES, and the man-meat testosterone-filled jungle that is PREDATOR. You pull a knife, Sean Connery, we pull Episode 98. THAT'S the Opening Weekend way!

Erik speaks with Academy Award Nominee, film editor, producer, director, and writer, Frederick Marx about his focus on providing a voice for disadvantaged and misunderstood communities, through his production company Warrior Films, which highlights unique stories of greatness! IT'S YOUR WONDERFUL LIFE! Two-minute project teaser: https://warriorfilms.org/its-your-wonderful-life/ More about Frederick: Frederick Marx has lived his life mission as a socially dedicated film artist for 45 years. He is an internationally acclaimed, Oscar and Emmy nominated producer/director. He was named a Chicago Tribune Artist of the Year, a Guggenheim Fellow, and a recipient of a Robert F. Kennedy Special Achievement Award. His film HOOP DREAMS played in hundreds of theatres nationwide after winning the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival and was the first documentary ever chosen to close the New York Film Festival. It was on over 100 “Ten Best” lists nationwide and was named Best Film of the Year by critics Roger Ebert, Gene Siskel, Gene Shalit, and Ken Turran and by the Chicago Film Critics Association. Ebert also named it Best Film of the Decade. Prestigious awards include: Academy Nomination (Best Editing), Producer's Guild, Editor's Guild (ACE), Peabody Awards, the Prix Italia (Europe's top documentary prize) and The National Society of Film Critics Award. Utne Reader named it one of 150 of humanity's “essential works,” the Library of Congress recently added it to its prestigious National Film Registry, and the International Documentary Association named it the Best Documentary Ever. HOOP DREAMS ignited Marx's lifelong passion for the well-being of youth. That led to BOYS TO MEN? (2002) – a snapshot of the dire state of teen boys in the U.S. today. BOYS TO MEN? chronicles one year in the lives of three fifteen year old boys as they struggle to define themselves meaningfully as men. Soon Marx will make his final film on youth – RITES OF PASSAGE: MENTORING THE FUTURE. This documentary is about solutions. It will demonstrate why it's necessary to initiate and mentor all the world's youth. It will show audiences how it can be done, provide them with the tools to do it, and inspire them to take up the challenge. VETERANS JOURNEY HOME, a five part series of films, tells the story of the 2.7 million returning US veterans and what it takes for them to successfully transition back into civilian life. Whether officially diagnosed with PTSD or not, most vets carry the psychic scars of “moral injury” and will carry the battle within long after the bullets stop flying. Marx's films show them healing and transforming. In 1993, Marx received an Emmy nomination for HIGHER GOALS (1992) for Best Daytime Children's Special. Producer, Director, and Writer for this national PBS Special, Marx directed Tim Meadows of “Saturday Night Live” fame. Accompanied by a curriculum guide, the program was later distributed for free to over 4,200 inner city schools nationwide. His most recent film JOURNEY FROM ZANSKAR (2010) - featuring the Dalai Lama, with narration by Richard Gere - is now in worldwide release. THE UNSPOKEN (1999), Marx's first feature film, features stellar performances from star Sergei Shnirev of the famed Moscow Art Theatre (Russian voice of Disney's ALADDIN), and Harry J. Lennix, most known for MATRIX, Spike Lee's GET ON THE BUS, Tim Robbins' BOB ROBERTS, and Julie Taymor's TITUS. A hobbyist songwriter, Marx recorded a number of his songs collectively known as ROLLING STEEL (1991). Marx's vision for cross-cultural understanding is reflected in PBS' international human rights program OUT OF THE SILENCE (1991), the widely acclaimed personal essay DREAMS FROM CHINA (1989), and Learning Channel's SAVING THE SPHINX (1997). He consulted on Iranian-Kurdish director Bahman Ghobadi's feature TURTLES CAN FLY (2004) and was a teacher of renowned Thai feature filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul.

For Evan Valenti, working at Steven Valenti's Menswear was at first a way to earn some extra money while following his dream of being a radio broadcaster. But, it wasn't long until he discovered he had a great knack and, ultimately, a love for the all things menswear. However, this isn't simply a case of following in his Father's footsteps. Instead, Evan has brought a new angle to this legendary downtown business taking calculated risks on new trends, adapting to an ever-changing marketplace, and getting through to the other side of the monumental challenges presented by the pandemic. We cover a lot of ground quickly in this episode, including Evan's decision to choose menswear as a career, his working relationship with his father Steven and a mutual respect that strengthens the business, surviving the pandemic restrictions and making it through to the other side, dress pants that feel like comfy sweatpants (I can vouch for how amazing they are), how the Amazonification of the world has actually strengthened Valenti's niche in the marketplace, bike lanes, Evan's work in radio, his brother Michael J. Valenti's work with Sherman Baldwin on a remarkable time in Berkshire County radio, a great Gene Shalit anecdote when he appeared on the show, techniques of interviewing guests, what Star Wars trilogy to introduce first to kids, the entrepreneurial spirit of the Valenti family, including his mother Carolyn, and more. I hope you'll enjoy my conversation with Evan Valenti! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-krol/support

PSYCHO III (1986) Donna and Andrew – joined by film-historian and guest co-host Ray Morton – check into the Bates Motel to learn why so few of its guests ever actually check out (probably because of all the murder). Topics discussed: Norman Bates; codependent maternal relationships; traumatized nuns; way-too-old aspiring rock stars; the existence of God; hot dates at retirement homes; tactless journalists; payphones; Bolognese smoothies; Snack-rophilia; microfiche machines; studio-mandated reshoots; Gene Shalit.

As we put the nail in the coffin of 2020 and step into a new coffin a.k.a. 2021, we're celebrating two New Years cult classics: the 1980 ball dropper slasher "New Year's Evil" featuring an unhinged white dude embarking on a festive killing spree through Van Nuys, and the Gen-X 80s nostalgia fest "200 Cigarettes" starring a cast so stacked it can only be described as "The Thin Red Line" of broad studio comedies (Ben Affleck, Casey Affleck, Kate Hudson, Paul Rudd, Courtney Love, Christina Ricci, and Dave Chappelle just to name a few of the stand-outs in the ensemble). We're once again joined by film professor Macy Todd to discuss campy New Yawk accents, bad screenwriting, and the legendary Gene Shalit, who is still alive! "New Year's Evil" is streaming on Amazon Prime and "200 Cigarettes" is streaming nowhere because the music royalties ran out, so you might have to get a little creative if you wanna see Kate Hudson covered in shit for 90 minutes.

What ho! Has a Charles Dickens references crept over into the Balcony? Are the boys becoming hardcore Dickheads or did they just watch a steaming pile of Christmas pudding this week from 1986 called the Best of Times. The Best of Times it certainly wasn't! Gene Shalit! It stinks! Jay Sherman! We end Russellmania season on the worst of notes because instead of this we could have watched Used Cars, The Thing, Overboard, Captain Ron, Escape from New York, Escape from LA, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, The Hateful 8, Furious 7, F8te of the Furious, 3000 Miles to Graceland, Soldier, Executive Decision, Stargate, Tombstone, Backdraft, Tango & Cash, or The Thing again. Instead, we watched the Best of Times cause we're idiots. Fare thee well, Springfield Massachusetts's favorite son! We'll see you on the other side of the bells

It couldn't have been any better! It could have been better, though, for the Nyhuis family.

Watch out! We are back with a new podcast, and this week Charlie and Eric review 2020's "The Invisible Man."

Stories We Tell (2012) is difficult to sum up. In 2007, director Sarah Polley discovered that her father was not her biological father. Ostensibly, this documentary is about that revelation and Polley’s desire to tell the story her own way. However, as the movie progresses, it becomes a poetic and surprising mediation on the fuzziness of memory, the perception of truth, and ultimately life itself. It’s more meta than your average meta documentary and well worth the watch. Join us for a reverse Mama Mia, a slightly melted Gene Shalit, and a milk bag story that’s running above the fold, this week on Ex Rated Movies!

The Can You Hear Me boys are back with a mish mash of mustache talk, a mystery, thoughts on the S-Town podcast, Gustav's report on foreign listeners and emails from the faithful. To get things going Gustav reveals a mystery that he has encountered recently.  Heavy and Ty do their best to get to the bottom of problem. Then they discuss the wildly popular S-Town podcast and how close to home it feels to the 903 area code, where the guys were born and raised.  They also discuss some of the problems that they identified with the podcast. Somehow they get onto mustache talk, partly brought on by a recent spell of Gene Shalit jokes.  Gene was the mustachioed film critic for NBC's Today show for years and not0rious for bad pun s and sometimes questionable reviews. Long time listener Fake Bailey Jay has a couple of emails chastising Gustav for possible inaccuracies and omissions. Touching back on the previous misogynistic discussion about female singers of the seventies and eighties, Gustav brings up one the sisters from Heart and Ty ties it all back to the mountain climber game on the Price is Right.   Gustav has an interesting report on a recent upsurge in foreign listeners of Can You Hear Me.  The new hotbeds for Can You Hear Me downloads outside the U.S. are Japan and Germany.  Heavy has a theory why but Gus just wants to know who these people are and why they listen to the ramblings of educated hillbillies. They also have a new female listener who sends in a t-shirt idea and is currently trying to make her way through the entire back catalog of episodes.

The BY THAT I MEAN podcast dismantles reality. Our reality is still one where men are not equal to women. Our reality is still one where non-white people are still considered less human or something other than the default of humanity. Our collective models of reality no longer fit the truth of our lives, and so many of our discussions are getting harder and breaking down what should be common ground because we aren’t talking about the greater systemic processes at play. These next episodes of the BY THAT I MEAN podcast explore the fictitious nature of our shared dominant realities (the stories we individually and collectively tell ourselves about what is “real” or ought to be). We talk about the vulnerability and emotional nature of memory. We realize that there is one dominant illusory “reality” around which our whole society has become reorganized: the idea that short-term profit is an inherent moral good. Thank you for listening to the BY THAT I MEAN podcast. BY THAT I MEAN is a production of the MFP Studio Studio in Los Angeles, CA. Please subscribe to us on iTunes, and if you enjoy it leave us a hyperbolic 5-star review. Gene Shalit […]

Thank you for listening to the BY THAT I MEAN podcast. BY THAT I MEAN is a production of the MFP Studio Studio in Los Angeles, CA.

In their 5th episode, Mike & Rob explain how to tear down a massive backyard structure, debate some random political stuff, mourn the loss of some famous (and not so famous) people, talk about the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees... and then Rob almost jumps out of a window.

We start 2014 off in style when comedy/film guy Dave Bluvband almost "makes it a minyan" with a number of killer kuts that include dressing up as Elmo and hanging around Times Square when he was fifteen, growing up as an orthodox Jewish city kid, bombing as a stand-up, and generally being a man out of time.  Plus, a special appearance by film critic Gene Shalit and the definition of "chugim!"  A motherload of mitzvahs on this week's WORST GIG EVER!

Movie Meltdown - Episode 224 Before we delve into the "Evil Dead" we take a slightly more serious look at death, as we note the passing of film critic and the Godfather of all movie geeks... Roger Ebert. An interesting man and a great writer, he inspired many people over the years and arguably helped create our own show. Then we debate the merits of Fede Alvarez's return to the franchise with "Evil Dead". We attempt to look at the film on it's own and occasionally compare it to the previous movies - as well as examine how it fits into the "Evil Dead" universe.  And while eating spaghetti and watching a movie, we mention... Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, the state of journalism, Diablo Cody, the evil in the woods, 306 movie reviews, deadites, Leonard Maltin, high water, five souls, I'm not awesome at math... but I can count to five, Gene Shalit, drugs, Jennifer's Body, trying to exploit rather then tell a story, a virus, At the Movies, Jane Levy, practical effects, it's not what a film is about... but how it is about it, The Great Movies, a waiting demon, Russ Meyer, audacious, gore-fest and Who Killed Bambi? Spoiler Alert: Full spoilers for the 2013 movie "Evil Dead". So watch it now before listening to this episode.  "If you watch a horror movie, and you get mad a people who make dumb decisions... you're just not watching it for the right [reasons]..."
