This week on Movie Mistrial, we're suiting up for one of the slickest cons in movie history as we dive into George Roy Hill's stylish caper classic, The Sting.The Sting is a brilliantly constructed tale of deception and charm, powered by the unbeatable chemistry of Paul Newman and Robert Redford. With its clever plot twists, jazzy ragtime score, and period-perfect style, the film delivers pure entertainment while keeping audiences guessing until the very end.While The Sting is undeniably clever, some critics argue that its cool detachment and light tone can make the stakes feel lower than they should. Others suggest that without the charisma of its leads, the intricate plot might come across as more gimmick than substance.Join us as we peel back the layers of The Sting. Is it a con well played, or does it bluff its way into greatness?Connect with us and share your thoughts:Twitter: http://tiny.cc/MistrialTwitterFacebook: http://tiny.cc/MistrialFBInstagram: http://tiny.cc/MistrialInstaVisit our website, www.moviemistrial.com, for more captivating episodes and to stay up-to-date with all things movies.

Send us a text Get ready to run the ultimate con. In this episode, we dive into the slick, twist-filled world of The Sting — the 1973 classic that paired Paul Newman and Robert Redford for one of Hollywood's coolest capers. We'll unpack how George Roy Hill's direction, Marvin Hamlisch's ragtime score, and that legendary twist ending turned a stylish period piece into a Best Picture winner. From the film's jazzy Depression-era setting to the irresistible chemistry between its stars, we're breaking down what makes The Sting a timeless grift that still plays perfectly over 50 years later.

Welcome to another episode of the Holmes Movies Podcast!Anders and Adam Holmes reunite after a long 2 month hiatus to pay tribute to a Hollywood legend. A fantastic actor and director, who also did a lot for social and human rights. The great Robert Redford passed away on the 16th of September 2025 at his home in Sundance, Utah. He was 89 years old. Born August 18th 1936, Robert Redford's career began in New York City where he worked on stage and on television. His numerous early acting credits were on TV shows like The Twilight Zone, The Untouchables, Perry Mason and Alfred Hitchcock Presents. His early credits in film were Tall Story and The Chase, his first collaboration with Jane Fonda. After being cast along side Paul Newman in the George Roy Hill western, Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid, did Redford become a bankable actor. His career took off in the 70s. Some of his most memorable roles were in films like All The President's Men, Jeremiah Johnson, The Candidate, 3 Days of The Condor, The Sting and The Way We Were. In the beginning of the 80s, Redford transitioned to directing as well as acting. He won an Oscar for Best Directing for his work on Ordinary People, starring Donald Sutherland, Timothy Hutton and Mary Tyler Moore. With the proceeds he received from his acting career, Robert Redford purchased a block of land in Utah that he named Sundance, after his character in Butch Cassidy. Redford went onto to create the Sundance Institute and out of that came the Sundance Film Festival. This festival was created in a way to foster new and exciting cinematic voices. A new generation of filmmakers. Aside from his film work, Redford fought and campaigned for LGBT rights, Native American rights and climate change. An actor, director, environmentalist and activist all rolled into one.A tremendous individual who did a lot for the film industry. There will never be another man like him. He will be missed. Rest in peace Mister Redford. Hope somewhere you and Paul Newman have finally reunited. We hope you enjoy this episode of the podcast.

In this episode of the show we move out to the country to put a bow on our August with George Roy Hill as we talk about his final movie Funny Farm. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how this movie fits into the catalogue of George Roy Hill's directorial exploits, how it fits in the landscape of 80s comedies and whether it succeeds as a fish-out-of-water concept it was designed to be. We also talk about our feelings towards Chevy Chase's performance, the messiness of the movie's identity that seems not to be able to decide if it wants to embrace a fish-out-of-water comedy, a screwball or something completely different and how even the title seems to be completely detached from reality because neither of us thought the movie was funny and we couldn't find a farm in it either.

In this bonus episode of our show we are tying into our August with George Roy Hill series with a conversation about his arguably biggest hit, the 1973 The Sting. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how at the time when The New Hollywood wave was cresting, this movie became one of the biggest success stories of the year, how its convoluted plot machinations have contributed to the movie being referred to as one of the best written films in Hollywood history and how it managed to succeed at the box office despite competing against The Exorcist. We also talk about whether the movie's central story makes logical sense, if Paul Newman and Robert Shaw could cheat using the same tampered deck of cards and how the movie did for men's fashion what Bonnie and Clyde did for lady chic.Tune in and enjoy!Subscribe to our patreon at patreon.com/uncutgemspod (3$/month) and support us by gaining access to this show in full in addition to ALL of our exclusive podcasts, such as bonus tie-ins, themed retrospectives and director marathons!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy BurrowsHead over to our website to find out more!

In this episode of the show, we are putting on our ice skates to talk about Slap Shot as part of our August jaunt through the cinema of George Roy Hill. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how this movie fits together with Rocky into the tapestry of 70s underdog stories, how it paints the picture of hockey as a working man's sport and small town entertainment with panache and grit and how George Roy Hill's immediate direction helped the movie become one of the most beloved sports movies. We also talk about the class and gender dynamics found in the film, Paul Newman's performance as a player-coach functioning superficially as a conversation on filmmaking and we also introduce at least one of our co-hosts to the word "goon" used as a verb.

In this episode of the show we are soaring into the skies together with The Great Waldo Pepper, which is the 1975 George Roy Hill movie that the filmmaker held as the most personal and important movie he had ever made. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the ways in which The Great Waldo Pepper connects to George Roy Hill's lifelong passion for flying as well as his history as a pilot during wartime and how the movie broke all possible safety rules and whose stuntmanship would stand toe to toe with the latest instalments of the Mission: Impossible series. We also talk about the significance or insignificance of female characters in this movie, how the concept of pursuing a rush maps possibly onto the personality of a 70s Hollywood director and how there is a distinct relationship between the way commerce infringed on the freedom of the skies and how safety regulations rendered making stunts-heavy movies impossible to produce.

In this episode of the show, we are continuing our August with George Roy Hill as we talk about his audacious anti-war epic Slaughterhouse-Five. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the ways in which this movie adapts Kurt Vonnegut's seemingly unadaptable prose, the comments it makes about the morality of war and two wrongs not making a right, and how its impenetrable structure may be a turn-off for many viewers while being an invitation to others. We also wonder whether the movie was ahead of its time or if the early 70s was the only time in history a movie like this could have come together, the places it goes towards the end with its outlandish science-fiction element, bits of incredible nuance hidden in throwaway lines of dialogue and much, much more!Tune in and enjoy!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy BurrowsFeaturing: Jak-Luke SharpIntro: Infraction - CassetteOutro: Infraction - DaydreamHead over to uncutgemspodcast.com to find all of our archival episodes and more!Follow us on Twitter (@UncutGemsPod), IG (@UncutGemsPod) and Facebook (@UncutGemsPod)Buy us a coffee over at Ko-Fi.com (ko-fi.com/uncutgemspod)Subscribe to our Patreon!

In this episode of the show we are beginning an entire month of conversations about the cinema of George Roy Hill and we are kicking things off with his western classic Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the ways in which this movie fits into the twilight zone between the withering Old Hollywood and the incoming New Hollywood tidal wave, how much it owes to Bonnie and Clyde and how it upsets the genre template while also paying due homage to its legacy. We also talk about how the bickering between Paul Newman and Robert Redford presages the arrival of a buddy cop movie, how George Roy Hill banks on realism where it matters and how this entire experience is a great hangout for those who vibe with westerns but may be a little bit tired of its old formula.

This week we are talking about one of the great directors of the New Hollywood era, George Roy Hill. Sakana joins us once again to celebrate the work of this master storyteller: we will check out his divisive box office failure, The Great Waldo Pepper (1975), and his raucous, subversive sports comedy Slap Shot (1977). Death defying air stunts, stunted pretty boys, and ultraviolence on the ice rink - there's a lot to chew on here. We will be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for both films, so if you haven't seen them before you listen, you can nevertheless avoid spoilers for The Great Waldo Pepper by skipping ahead to the 1:28:56 mark, and for Slap Shot by skipping ahead to 2:16:09.

This week on the podcast, I'm recommending four sports movies from the 1970s. These aren't the usual titles you hear brought up. Some are a bit strange, some are just overlooked. All of them are worth checking out.Slap Shot (1977)Directed by George Roy Hill, who also did The Sting and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Paul Newman plays the player-coach of a struggling minor league hockey team. The film is known for its rough humor and violence on the ice. It was written by Nancy Dowd, based on her brother's experience in the minors. The Hanson Brothers, who steal most of their scenes, were played by real hockey players. The film didn't do well at first but built a strong following over the years.The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh (1979)This one is about astrology and basketball. A Pittsburgh team becomes good after aligning its players' zodiac signs. It stars Julius Erving, who was still playing in the NBA at the time. The movie was shot in actual basketball arenas and features real NBA footage. The soundtrack was put together by Thom Bell, known for his work with The Spinners and The Stylistics. It's not a typical sports movie, and it's not serious, but that's part of the appeal.One on One (1977) Robbie Benson stars as a small-town high school basketball player who gets a scholarship to a big college. Benson co-wrote the script. The film was directed by Lamont Johnson, who worked mostly in television but had a few feature films. The music is by Seals and Crofts. It's more grounded than the other films in this group. The basketball scenes are decent, and the story focuses on the pressure college athletes face.The World's Greatest Athlete (1973) A Disney comedy with John Amos and Tim Conway. They go to Africa to find a new track star and bring back a Tarzan-type athlete played by Jan-Michael Vincent. Vincent did some of his own stunts, including a few track scenes. The film mixes broad humor with some light sports moments. It's not realistic, and it wasn't supposed to be. Worth a look if you want something lighter.All four of these were made during a time when studios were trying different things with sports movies. None of them are exactly like the others. If you're looking for something off the usual path, any of these would work. This is probably the first in a series of episodes I will eventually do about sports movies from this decade, I hope you enjoy them.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!

Here's the third of my episodic trilogy about George Roy Hill's films 'Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid', 'The Sting', and, now: 1977's 'Slap Shot'.
In Episode 32 of the Great American Novel podcast, we slip through time with Billy Pilgrim as we shuffle between the character's experiences as a prisoner of war and first hand witness to the Dresden firebombing in World War II and then trip the light fantastic to the far flung planet Tralfamadore. Or…do we? Yes, this episode has your intrepid explorers hiding in Kurt Vonnegut's masterful 1969 post-modern novel SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE. We ponder the author's central questions: are all war novels doomed to sensationalize war? Can you capture such a horrific experience realistically? Must we become automatons to survive wars? The Great American Novel podcast is an ongoing discussion about the novels we hold up as significant achievements in our American literary culture. Additionally, we sometimes suggest novels who should break into the sometimes problematical canon and at other times we'll suggest books which can be dropped from such lofty consideration. Your hosts are Kirk Curnutt and Scott Yarbrough, professors with little time and less sense who nonetheless enjoy a good book banter. All opinions are their own and do not reflect the points of view of their employers, publishers, relatives, pets, or accountants. All show music is by Lobo Loco. The intro song is “Old Ralley,” and the outro is “Inspector Invisible.” For more information visit: https://locolobomusic.com/. The trailer clips are from the film adaptation, Slaughterhouse-Five, adapted in a screenplay by Stephen Geller, dir. George Roy Hill.We may be contacted at greatamericannovelpodcast (@) gmail.com.
George Roy Hill's 1973 masterpiece 'The Sting' (released December 1974) grossed in 1974 what would be over 900 million dollars today. It's a deceptively simple, stealthily subversive and counter-cultural film wrapped in the meticulous trappings of a 1930's Warner Bros gangster picture, and re-teaming Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid with that film's director. In this episode: How Peter Boyle, Jack Nicholson, Richard Boone, and Warren Beatty almost got cast in 'The Sting', the brilliant Marvin Hamlisch Scott Joplin songs used on the soundtrack, the fantastic supporting cast of instantaneous-read character actors like Jack Kehoe, Dana Elcar, and MORE!

“The future's all yours, you lousy bicycles.”Talking About Wicked, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and more with our returning guest, Re-Recording Mixer Andy NelsonJoin us for a fascinating conversation with Oscar-winning Re-Recording Mixer Andy Nelson as we explore his remarkable career in sound mixing and his deep love for cinema. In this episode, we discuss both his work on the upcoming film adaptation of Wicked and his enduring appreciation for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, examining how each represents different aspects of sonic storytelling in film.Nelson's journey through musical cinema reads like a history of the genre's evolution. From his work on Evita with Alan Parker's meticulous pre-planning approach to the groundbreaking live recording techniques used in Les Misérables, Nelson has helped shape how modern movie musicals sound. His latest project, Wicked, combines these decades of experience with cutting-edge technology. Working alongside director Jon M. Chu and collaborating with Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, Nelson details how they've created an immersive musical experience that honors the stage show while embracing cinema's unique possibilities through tools like Dolby Atmos.Speaking about Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Nelson reflects on how the film influenced him during his early days as a projectionist in London. We explore the movie's brilliant use of silence punctuated by Burt Bacharach's score, particularly in the iconic bicycle sequence. The discussion delves into how the film balances its lighter moments with darker themes, the incredible chemistry between Paul Newman and Robert Redford, and how William Goldman's sharp script creates such memorable characters. Nelson's perspective as both a fan and industry veteran offers unique insights into what makes this classic work so well.From the groundbreaking sound work in contemporary musicals to the timeless appeal of a classic Western, our conversation with Andy Nelson illuminates how sound shapes storytelling in cinema. Whether it's the immersive musical numbers of Wicked or the carefully crafted sound design of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, this episode demonstrates the crucial role audio plays in creating movie magic.Film SundriesAndy Nelson on IMDbWatch Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid on Apple or Amazon, or find other places at JustWatchScript OptionsTheatrical trailerLetterboxd Learn how to support our show and The Next Reel's family of film podcasts by becoming a member.

Flying out the gate like the Ultimate Warrior, today we gots 7 more 70's movie reviews, and here…they…are! first up is (The Yakuza 1974) With Robert Mitchum (I'm just starting the whole chapter about him in Roger Eberts book- Life Itself) Ken Takakura, The best friend of Logan in Logan's Run, The Dad who hired Mr. French in Family Affair, and Stanley from the Golden Girls are all here with Mitchum in this. Is this Movie good, we like Director Sydney Pollack, and Writer Paul Schrader, but can they pull it off? Let's see, shall we. Next up is (Adventures of the wilderness family 1975). We are continuing our odd ass journey of Robert Logan's nature/adventure films. This is the one with 2 sequels, kind of afraid of them, oh my, this is silly enough. Onward to (Bullet Train 1975). Ashes liked this one best for it's rad historical context. Also important to watch as stupid Americans, to learn that SPEED totally ripped this one off. Filmed entirely on location on the bullet train between Tokyo and Hiroshima, also Ken Takakura is back here. More of Ken to come. Travel with us now to skull island and (King Kong 1976) It's got issues and it kinda sucks, but also with that, there's a lot of cool people here, bein weird, especially Jeff Bridges. Directed by John Guillermin after he made a ton of money for the studio people when we made (The Towering inferno) in 74 so they threw a ton o dough at this thing here, Wait John directed Shaft in Africa, heck yeah! Moving on we gots (Slap Shot 1977) George Roy Hill is our director here, with one of my favorite screenwriters Nancy Dowd, who if someone could just chuck some dough at us and this pod I would love to interview, while she is still around to interviewed plz, to all you rich benefactors out there. Is something wrong with me that I think the Hanson Brothers are simply adorable. Next today we review (Every which way but loose 1978)That punching movie with the Orangutan Clyde, also Maude's shotgun scene is priceless. Gee it's also kind of an anti Fascist picture, not as fiercely anti fascist as the blues brothers, but I think it still counts, there is much nazi punching. Hey our direct here James Fargo made the 80's cult masterpiece Voyage of the rock aliens in 84, can't for the Vintage video 80's podcast to cover that one, also VVP stay out of our lane eh. finally today we review yet another made for TV 70's movie that snuck some greatness under the radar (See how she runs 1978) Joanne Woodward plays a teacher who just wants to run in the Boston Marathon but oddly has to battle the world and even her family just to do so! Drop us a review and all the dang stars if you like what you hear, and thank you muchly for listening.

In 1977, director George Roy Hill re-teamed with actor Paul Newman - the pair had previously collaborated on Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Sting, two of the biggest movies of the past decade - for an oddball sports comedy about a little-known sport: ice hockey. Written by Nancy Dowd and inspired by her brother Ned's time playing for the minor-league Johnstown Jets of the oft-flooded steeltown Johnstown, Pennsylvania, the film was originally envisioned as a documentary before Hill pitched it as a comedy. To make the film many real-life players took on roles, including Ned as the dreaded “Ogie” Ogilthorpe. While the film didn't take home the Cup at the box office, it has gone on to be widely regarded as one of the best sports movies of all time. Now we're hitting the ice for Slap Shot!

There's nothing like being conned at the movies. Join Mike and Dan as they talk about George Roy Hill's beautifully-constructed toy, The Sting. Dan explains how the long con in the film is like a theatrical production and how con games and films are similar forms of art. Mike revs up with a rant about why Pauline Kael is overrated, continues with one about how Robert Shaw is underrated, and finally claims that anyone who doesn't like The Sting needs to sit in a room for thirty minutes and reevaluate their life choices. So turn on that player piano and give it a listen! Paul Newman's posthumously-released memoir, The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man, is a terrific glimpse into the actor's thoughts and recollections on life as one of the last bona fide movie stars.
