Podcast appearances and mentions of George Clooney

We've been exposed. You've nailed our asses. Of course we're going to defend this movie! 2004's Intolerable Cruelty features George Clooney and Catherine Zeta-Jones at the height of their powers, yet failed to connect with contemporary audiences. Guest Katey Rich joins us as we attempt to understand why. Too mean? Too talky? A lack of period trappings? Maybe they were just blinded by George Clooney's incredible teeth. We're talking Clooney's directorial efforts (bad), Richard Jenkins' 2008 (immaculate), and the name “Rex Rexroth” (difficult to pronounce) in this week's episode, so sign your Massey pre-nup and join us!  Read David's Interview with George Clooney Play Cinematrix Check out the Prestige Junkie After Party Sign up for Check Book, the Blank Check newsletter featuring even more “real nerdy shit” to feed your  pop culture obsession.

Rodrigo Medellin loves bats. The Mexican conservationist has been obsessed with the often maligned creatures for over six decades. As a child, he kept blood in ice cube trays in his parents' freezer, to feed to his pet vampire bats. He went on to create Mexico City's first ever bat festival, and to work with governments, universities, NGOs and researchers all over the world. To many, Rodrigo IS the "bat man."Like many Mexicans, he is also fiercely proud of the country's native spirits: tequila and mezcal. The agave spirits are hugely important for Mexico's economy, especially in the states of Jalisco and Oaxaca. Exports of the drinks are worth billions. Tequila and mezcal have become increasingly popular in recent decades, with sales boosted by big budget celebrity-owned brands designed to appeal to the US consumer. From Kendall Jenner to George Clooney, US celebrities have been riding high on the mass market appeal of the liquor. But the boom in these industries has had unintended consequences for Rodrigo's beloved bats. Often the agave the spirits are made from is harvested early, before the slow-growing plant can flower. This means bats cannot feed from the nectar, and critically, they can't do their job as pollinators. This contributes to agave monocultures which are susceptible to disease and blight. Rodrigo explains how he wanted to change the way the industry works, creating a “bat-friendly” certification for tequila and mezcal producers who leave 5% of the agave untouched, to bloom. But why have so few brands been certified, why is the programme controversial for some producers, and why are bats a tricky sell as far as conservation for many people and communities? Sarah Treanor spends time with Rodrigo in Mexico City and Oaxaca to find out. A Bespoken Media production. Image: Rodrigo Medellin holding a bat (Credit: Paul Webala)

The 82nd Venice Film Festival got underway with a constellation of stars on its red carpet, as Julia Roberts and Andrew Garfield attended the premiere of "After the Hunt", directed by Luca Guadagnino. Film critic Emma Jones tells us why she was impressed by Yorgos Lanthimos's "Bugonia", starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemmons. We also discuss the French-made political intrigue "The Wizard of the Kremlin", with Jude Law playing Vladimir Putin himself. And politics were ever-present at this year's Mostra, with Venice4Palestine protests and Kaouther Ben Hania's powerful docu-drama "The Voice of Hind Rajab", which is set in Gaza.

This week, we head back to a time of monochrome and unreliable box office receipts to discuss 1935's “The 39 Steps”. Alfred Hitchcock was 10 years and 22 films deep by this point in his directing career, and really caught his groove, to the point where this film is ranked the #4 British film by the BFI. We've talked about the top 3 on the show (1 & 2 in detail), and about 8 Hitchcocks, but grab a beer and hear what we have to say about this one!

The episode also brings its fair share of laughter with a hands-on experience with the quirky Flowbee—a vacuum-based hair-cutting device that has, amusingly enough, been endorsed by none other than George Clooney. As the hosts experiment with the Flowbee on Joe Stamboni's head, they uncover both chaos and delight in trying to achieve the perfect cut. Coupled with listener stories about broken items—both sentimental and trivial—the narrative is a lively blend of nostalgia, comedy, and unexpected lessons that resonate with audiences of all ages.

On part à Venise, en Italie, où se tient jusqu'à samedi 6 septembre la 82ème Mostra. Le plus ancien festival de cinéma au monde fait la part belle aux productions américaines, notamment en compétition. On se souvient qu'en 2016, La La Land ouvrait le festival vénitien, Emma Stone remportait le prix d'interprétation féminine quelques mois avant la razzia aux Oscars. Les majors et les plateformes de streaming profitent du rendez-vous vénitien pour faire la promotion de leurs productions. De notre envoyée spéciale à Venise,  Moins exposée que le festival de Cannes, idéalement programmée pour lancer la campagne des Oscars, la Mostra est devenue ces dernières années l'écrin rêvé pour les productions hollywoodiennes de prestige. Et notamment les films de plateformes qui peuvent ici concourir en compétition. Parmi les blockbusters d'auteurs en lice pour le Lion d'or : Frankenstein. Netflix a accordé un budget faramineux, 120 millions de dollars à Guillermo del Toro, pour revisiter ce classique de Mary Shelley : la création contre-nature d'un être humain à partir de cadavres. « On vit dans une époque de terreur et d'intimidation. Et pour moi la réponse, c'est l'amour et l'art en fait partie. La question que pose le roman, c'est : qu'est-ce qu'un être humain ? Il n'y a pas de tâche plus urgente que de préserver notre humanité. Mon film montre des personnages imparfaits et le droit d'être imparfaits », explique Guillermo del Toro. Ces films hollywoodiens questionnent tous la perte ou la quête de sens. Dans Jay Kelly, le réalisateur Noah Baumbach met en scène George Clooney en mégastar se rendant compte, à 60 ans passés, qu'il est bien seul dans la vie. « Quand vous faites un film sur un acteur, vous faites en réalité un film sur l'identité et la représentation, finalement la quête de soi, raconte le réalisateur. C'est ce que nous éprouvons tous : nous ne sommes pas les mêmes avec notre famille, nos amis ou nos collègues. Nous sommes différents personnages selon les situations. » Plus radical, mêlant science-fiction et satire de l'époque, Bugonia de Yorgos Lanthimos montre une Amérique en perte de sens. Deux Américains complotistes kidnappent une cheffe d'entreprise, campée par Emma Stone, qu'ils prennent pour une extraterrestre. Pour le réalisateur, déjà primé à Venise il y a deux ans, le propos est plus réaliste que dystopique : « Mon film reflète le monde réel. Tout ce que l'on voit dans le monde, l'intelligence artificielle, les guerres, le dérèglement climatique, c'est ce qui se passe en ce moment. » La Mostra doit encore présenter plusieurs gros calibres américains en compétition, comme le nouveau film de Kathryn Bigelow avec notamment Idris Elba, ou The Smashing Machine avec Dwayne Johnson, alias The Rock, dans un rôle à transformation comme les adore l'Académie des Oscars.

RFI revient pendant l'été boréal sur les grands boycotts de l'Histoire, quand David fait trembler Goliath en usant de l'arme économique. De l'Irlande à Israël en passant par l'Afrique du Sud ou l'Inde, du lait en poudre au pétrole en passant par les bus de Montgomery, le boycott transforme le consommateur en citoyen, un mouvement d'expression et de colère qui fait pression sur les puissants. En 2019, l'acteur américain George Clooney fut à l'initiative d'un boycott qui fit reculer Bruneï sur la peine de mort en cas d'homosexualité ou d'adultère.  C'est une voix que tout le monde ou presque connait : « What else ? »  En 2019 George Clooney ne met pas sa notoriété qu'au service d'une célèbre marque de café. Sa voix, l'acteur américain l'utilise aussi pour défendre les droits humains.  Le sultanat de Bruneï, petit État d'Asie du Sud-Est à majorité musulmane, est sur le point d'instaurer la charia. La loi islamique prévoit — entre autres — la peine de mort pour les homosexuels et les personnes coupables d'adultère.  Le 28 mars, George Clooney appelle dans une tribune à boycotter les intérêts du sultan, en l'occurrence « neuf des hôtels les plus prestigieux du monde » détenus (via l'Agence d'investissement de Bruneï) en partie par le monarque. Il signe une tribune dans le magazine américain Deadline : « Cela fait des années que je pratique des régimes meurtriers, j'ai appris que vous ne pouvez pas leur faire honte. Mais vous pouvez faire honte aux banques, aux financiers et aux institutions qui font des affaires avec eux. Soyons clair, chaque fois que nous prenons une chambre ou que nous organisons une réunion que nous dînons dans l'un de ces neuf hôtels, nous mettons de l'argent directement dans la poche d'hommes qui choisissent de lapider et de fouetter à mort leurs concitoyens homosexuels ou accusés d'adultère. »  À lire aussiBrunei punit l'homosexualité de lapidation, levée internationale de boucliers Ambiance La tribune est à la une des journaux télé. Du chanteur britannique Elton John à l'ex-championne de tennis Billie Jean King, les stars relaient l'appel au boycott. De la star de télé Ellen DeGeneres au patron de Virgin Richard Branson. Les États-Unis, l'Union européenne, l'Australie protestent, mais rien n'y fait : comme prévu, la loi entre vigueur le 3 avril 2019.  Manifestations à Londres Dans les rues de Londres, quelques centaines de Britanniques se réunissent devant l'hôtel Dorchester lié au sultan. Aux cris de « honte à vous », ils appellent le gouvernement à rompre tout lien diplomatique avec Bruneï.  Le tollé s'étend aux acteurs économiques. La Deustche Bank interdit à ses employés de séjourner dans les hôtels épinglés. Plusieurs entreprises annulent leurs événements dans les établissements liés au Sultan.   Le 6 mai, l'appel est entendu du côté de Brunei À l'occasion du début du ramadan le sultan Hassanal Bolkiah s'adresse à son peuple : « Nous pratiquons depuis plus de vingt ans un moratoire de facto sur la peine de mort qui relève la loi héritée de l'empire britannique. (la common law). Ce moratoire s'appliquera également aux affaires qui relèvent de la charia ». En d'autres mots, le monarque recule sans pour autant vraiment céder puisque, si les châtiments prévus contre les homosexuels et les personnes reconnues coupables d'adultère ne seront pas appliqués, la loi islamique, elle, reste en vigueur.  En juin dernier, l'un des plus fervents activistes du boycott, l'Américain Jake Duke Mason saluait ce moratoire comme « une victoire majeure ». Mais rappelait que le combat continue pour une « abrogation totale de la loi ».

In this episode I had the pleasure of speaking to Harold O'Neal. Harold is an acclaimed pianist, composer, producer, and storyteller, celebrated across jazz, classical, film, and pop genres. His versatility and creativity have earned him wide recognition in both artistic and innovation circles. His experiance and perspective has really made me think a lot about some things in my life and I think you will too.More about Harold. Born in Arusha, Tanzania and raised in Kansas City, Missouri. He demonstrated an early talent for music, playing piano by ear from the age of four. His piano work bridges jazz and classical traditions, prompting critics like The New York Times to liken him to legends such as Duke Ellington, Kenny Kirkland, and Maurice Ravel. He's been awarded a prestigious fellowship with the Royal Society of Arts—an honor shared by historical figures like Charles Dickens, Benjamin Franklin, and Stephen Hawking. He served as a creative expert on Pixar's Oscar-winning film Soul and has worked with high-profile artists and institutions—including U2, Jay-Z, George Clooney (as music director), the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Aloe Blacc, and the United Nations. In addition, he is keynote speaker and creative strategist at events hosted by Google, NASA's JPL, TEDx, World Economic Forum, TIME, and more. (hHarold masterfully blends musical excellence, storytelling, and innovation. Whether through solo performance, collaboration with major artists, creative advising in film, or thought leadership on creativity, his work crosses boundaries and inspires across fields. It's no wonder he's considered one of the most inventive and compelling musicians of his generation.

I have used the word “impressive” more times than I could count when conversing with today's guest, whose passion is to reconnect people to the wisdom of ancestral eating. For him, this work is deeply personal—it's not just about creating a product, but about addressing the nutritional deficiencies that are at the root of so many modern health challenges. James Barry is on a mission to make organ meats, which are some of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, accessible and enjoyable for everyone. He wants to break down the barriers of stigma and convenience that often keep people from embracing these powerful foods. He believes that merging traditional wisdom with modern convenience is the key to true wellness. Food is medicine, and by embracing nutrient-rich, whole foods, we can heal not just our bodies but also our connection to the planet and each other. His hope is to inspire listeners to see that small, intentional changes can have a profound impact on their health and vitality. It's about making health accessible, sustainable, and, most importantly, enjoyable. James Barry's 20 years in the culinary field started as a private chef cooking for celebrities such as Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Gerard Butler, Mariska Hargitay (of Law & Order:SVI fame), Barbra Streisand, and John Cusack. James is CEO & Founder of the organ-based, superfood seasoning, Pluck. It's the first of its kind and an amazingly easy and delicious way for people to get organ meats into their diet. James is also a published cookbook author having co-authored the recipes in Margaret Floyd's book Eat Naked and Dr. Alejandro Junger's book, Clean 7. He authored the cookbook The Naked Foods Cookbook. He is the host of the podcast, Everyday Ancestral.

In this episode we tackle Steven Soderbergh's "Out of Sight" (1998), the smooth, stylish crime caper that helped make George Clooney a movie star, and, against all odds, convinced us that (the-artist-formerly-known-as) Jennifer Lopez could actually act... Yes, the same JLo responsible for a string of recent cinematic crimes turns in such a memorable performance here, that we're forced to eat our words… at least for 90 minutes.Make a film recommendation for an upcoming episode!Thank you for listening!

Sustainability isn't just a buzzword, it's becoming a brand essential. And no one understands that better than the Environmental Media Association (EMA). In this episode of Brand Slam, hosts Steve Rosa and Joe Kayata go behind the scenes of a major milestone, how our virtual production studio became the first on the East Coast to earn EMA's Green Seal for Studios. EMA CEO Debbie Levin joins the conversation to talk about what that seal means, why it matters, and how sustainability is reshaping media and marketing. Debbie Levin has been a force in environmental storytelling for over two decades. She's helped make green productions something brands can actually do—and want to do. From celebrity campaigns to certifying feature films, she's helped shift the way Hollywood talks about sustainability. In this episode, Debbie, Steve, and Joe dive into the Green Seal process, why it aligned with our values, and what it takes to build a space with sustainability in mind. They talk about the power of celebrity influence, including a story from EMA's recent IMPACT Summit featuring George Clooney. The episode wraps with a real talk on authenticity. With “greenwashing” on the rise, Debbie shares honest advice for brands that want to tell environmental stories the right way. Whether you're in media, marketing, or just want to make an impact—this one's for you. Interested in a particular topic or want to be a guest? Contact us at brandslam@addventures.com.

For the fourth movie choice based on the theme of death, we travel to Hawaii to hang with Clooney. This film has some heavy drama, but with Alexander Payne sprinkling in his dry humor and the sights and sounds of Hawaii ever-present, the story keeps from sinking into too dark of a place. The Descendants (2011), directed by Alexander Payne.

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Kaitlyn Dever, originally episode 475 from 2022-09-21.Original writeup below:If you are unaware of Kaitlyn in your adventures through the wide world of broadcast media, prepare to make fast friends with a true great, and an absolute gem of a person at that. Kaitlyn's been putting down serious moves since childhood, including a Shakespeare stint at RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts for those pondering), and her filmography is stellar - ranging from Justified, to Dopesick, to Unbelievable, and more recently Ticket To Paradise (starring alongside Julia Roberts and George Clooney, where the cinema screen actually cracks midway through from so much gorgeous). This is a lovely chat, properly engaging and it's such a treat to hear Kaitlyn's story. OH and as Pip hints at in the intro, prepare for a Kaitlyn fact that will blow yer mind. She casually peppers it in there but thankfully Pip mashes on the brakes and reverses and double takes seamlessly. Enjoy!
