Scott and Marc talk about the impulse that keeps him grinding away, whether he's working on original screenplays, rewrites, or his limited series like Godless, The Queen's Gambit and his new Netflix show Department Q. They also talk about Scott's mentors, his influences, and the construction of his most well known screenplays, like Get Shorty, Out of Sight, Minority Report, and Logan.

Exactly one year after his historic comeback in the seminal Pulp Fiction (which he received an Oscar nomination for), John Travolta followed it up with this slick and crime caper/satire adapted from the Elmore Leonard novel of the same name.  Here he plays Chili Palmer, a mob enforcer from Miami who LOVES movies, is visiting Los Angeles for the first time, and finds himself very eager to get into the movie business.  Once there, he meets a schlock producer (Gene Hackman - RIP), a scream queen (Rene Russo), a pretentious movie star (Danny DeVito), and a menacing wanna-be producer (Delroy Lindo)....among several others.  And wouldn't you know it....Chili finds himself getting involved in the movie business. :) Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld (The Addams Family, Men In Black), this would go on to be on of the more quotable and fondly remembered crime comedies of the '90's featuring a cast including several other legends including Bette Midler, the late great Dennis Farina, and the late, great James Gandolfini.  Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

From early roles in British tv, Chris got his breakout role on the classic British sitcom The IT Crowd playing Roy Trenneman, an information tech worker who is a master at avoiding work.

Chris remains busy with tv work, recently appearing in the lead role of Get Shorty, a comedy-drama loosely based on the 1990 book. As always find extra clips below and thanks for sharing our shows!

The unforeseen deaths of Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, shocked the world when their bodies were discovered in their Santa Fe, New Mexico, home on February 26, 2025. Authorities responded to a welfare check requested by a maintenance worker who hadn't heard from the couple in weeks. Upon arrival, law enforcement found Hackman in the mudroom near his cane, as if he had fallen. Arakawa was located in the bathroom near a space heater, with an open prescription bottle and scattered pills on the countertop. One of their dogs was found deceased in a crate close to Arakawa, while two other dogs were found alive in different areas of the house. Friends and neighbors had noticed a decline in Hackman's health in the months leading up to his death. Once known for riding his bike around the neighborhood, he had become increasingly reclusive. At 95, his frailty had become apparent, and Arakawa, a 65-year-old classical pianist, had also retreated from public life. Authorities classified the deaths as "suspicious" due to the circumstances, but foul play was not suspected. Initial autopsy reports revealed no external trauma, and tests ruled out carbon monoxide poisoning. Data from Hackman's pacemaker suggested his heart had stopped on February 17, meaning they had been dead for about nine days before being found. Speculation surrounded the case, with some questioning whether it could have been a "companion suicide," but experts doubted this, given that the couple was found in separate parts of the house. The presence of prescription medication near Arakawa and Hackman's known heart condition led investigators to consider a medical event as the likely cause. The entertainment world responded with an outpouring of grief. John Travolta shared stories of Hackman's humor and brilliance on the set of Get Shorty, while Morgan Freeman honored him at the 2025 Oscars, calling him one of the most generous performers he'd ever worked with. Hackman's career spanned over four decades, earning him two Academy Awards for The French Connection and Unforgiven. His work in Bonnie and Clyde, The Conversation, and The Royal Tenenbaums cemented his status as one of Hollywood's most revered actors. Though he retired from acting in 2004, he remained active in writing and personal pursuits. The investigation into the exact circumstances of Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa's deaths continues. Their passing leaves behind a legacy of artistic contributions and a community mourning the loss of two lives lived largely outside the Hollywood spotlight. #GeneHackman #BetsyArakawa #HollywoodLegend #UnsolvedMystery Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The unforeseen deaths of Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, shocked the world when their bodies were discovered in their Santa Fe, New Mexico, home on February 26, 2025. Authorities responded to a welfare check requested by a maintenance worker who hadn't heard from the couple in weeks. Upon arrival, law enforcement found Hackman in the mudroom near his cane, as if he had fallen. Arakawa was located in the bathroom near a space heater, with an open prescription bottle and scattered pills on the countertop. One of their dogs was found deceased in a crate close to Arakawa, while two other dogs were found alive in different areas of the house. Friends and neighbors had noticed a decline in Hackman's health in the months leading up to his death. Once known for riding his bike around the neighborhood, he had become increasingly reclusive. At 95, his frailty had become apparent, and Arakawa, a 65-year-old classical pianist, had also retreated from public life. Authorities classified the deaths as "suspicious" due to the circumstances, but foul play was not suspected. Initial autopsy reports revealed no external trauma, and tests ruled out carbon monoxide poisoning. Data from Hackman's pacemaker suggested his heart had stopped on February 17, meaning they had been dead for about nine days before being found. Speculation surrounded the case, with some questioning whether it could have been a "companion suicide," but experts doubted this, given that the couple was found in separate parts of the house. The presence of prescription medication near Arakawa and Hackman's known heart condition led investigators to consider a medical event as the likely cause. The entertainment world responded with an outpouring of grief. John Travolta shared stories of Hackman's humor and brilliance on the set of Get Shorty, while Morgan Freeman honored him at the 2025 Oscars, calling him one of the most generous performers he'd ever worked with. Hackman's career spanned over four decades, earning him two Academy Awards for The French Connection and Unforgiven. His work in Bonnie and Clyde, The Conversation, and The Royal Tenenbaums cemented his status as one of Hollywood's most revered actors. Though he retired from acting in 2004, he remained active in writing and personal pursuits. The investigation into the exact circumstances of Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa's deaths continues. Their passing leaves behind a legacy of artistic contributions and a community mourning the loss of two lives lived largely outside the Hollywood spotlight. #GeneHackman #BetsyArakawa #HollywoodLegend #UnsolvedMystery Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Good Trump Bad Trump lives again! Segment 1: Gene Hackman Tribute* Context: Discussion sparked by the suspicious death of a 95-year-old man in Arizona (initially unclear if it's Hackman, later clarified as a tribute to his legacy).* Key Points:* Hackman's death at 95 is seen as a full life; hosts reflect on his cinematic impact.* Favorites: Hoosiers (Strong One's top pick for its underdog story), The Quick and the Dead (best villain role), Superman (best Lex Luthor), The Replacements, Young Frankenstein, The Firm, Royal Tenenbaums, Crimson Tide, Get Shorty.* Praise for Hackman as "the last true American tough guy" pre-"woke bull crap" (last credit 2004).* Memorable Quote: "Death, taxes, and whatever Gene Hackman's in is a good movie."Segment 2: Government Critique and DOGE* DOGE Revelations:* Hosts laud DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) for exposing wasteful spending (e.g., $300 screws, $25K toilet seats).* Obama allegedly receives $2.6M annually from "Obamacare" royalties—hosts question its legitimacy.* Conspiracy Nod: References to Independence Day and Bourne Identity as examples of government corruption hiding in plain sight.* Critique: DOGE exposes financial waste but lacks power to stop it; hosts demand action over mere exposure.Segment 3: Epstein Files Disappointment* Update: "Part 1" of Epstein files released, but it's a "nothing burger"—same old phone records and flight logs, no new names.* Frustration: Hosts criticize Attorney General Pam Bondi for not acting despite having the files, suspect a cover-up by intelligence agencies (CIA, FBI, Mossad).* Hope: Speculation that "Part 2" might reveal more, but skepticism prevails based on historical inaction.* Bad Trump Moment: Trump's failure to push harder on this issue disappoints the hosts.Segment 4: Ukraine and American Empire* News: Trump negotiates $500B in Ukrainian mineral rights (uranium, titanium, coal, oil) in exchange for U.S. bases to secure the border against Russia.* Critique: Hosts decry it as empire-building, no different from Biden/Obama policies—contradicts "no boots on the ground" promises.* Irony: Both liberals (pro-war) and Republicans (pro-minerals) get what they want, exposing a unified agenda.Segment 5: Policy Updates* Tax Cuts: House passes $2T tax cut, $4.5T in breaks—no taxes on tips, overtime, or Social Security payments.* Immigration: Trump's "Golden Ticket"—$5M buys citizenship, bypassing legal struggles (hosts wary of corruption risks).* Maine Governor: Janet Mills defies Trump's ban on men in women's sports; Trump threatens to pull federal funding and college accreditation.* Ohio Governor Race: Vivek Ramaswamy emerges as a candidate, endorsed by J.D. Vance.* Florida Governor Race: Casey DeSantis runs, sparking dynasty talk with Ron DeSantis.Segment 6: Cultural Reflections* Kathleen Kennedy Retirement: Set for end of 2025—hosts cheer but lament she's not fired in disgrace for ruining Star Wars, Willow, and Indiana Jones.* Comedy as Reality: Past satire (Life of Brian, SNL's Pat) mirrors today's gender debates—hosts call it a mental illness, not reality.* Language Debate: Hosts discuss curse words' cultural weight vs. biblical purity, landing on personal conviction over strict rules.Final Thoughts* Strong One: Honor parents by avoiding their mistakes; only Jesus breaks generational curses.* Philosopher King: Navigating cultural lines (e.g., language) is complex—trust the Holy Spirit's conviction.* Dusty: Comedy of the past (e.g., Life of Brian, Pat) is today's absurd reality—trans issues are a mental health crisis, not a civil right.Closing* Verse: Zechariah 8:16—"Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates."* Prayer: Call for truth, vigilance, and drawing closer to Jesus.* Sign-Off: "You've been listening to the Kingsplaining Podcast… where the people are free, the taxes are voluntary, and your two kings serve the King of Kings, Christ Jesus."Where to Find Us* Website: Kingsplaining.com* Platforms: Anywhere you get podcasts* Call to Action: Like, share, subscribe, review on Apple Podcasts.

Zo got a chance to meet his favorite schlock horror movie producer, Harry Zimm, while visiting Las Angeles. At this chance meeting Zo also met an associate of Mr. Zimm who avoided directly giving out his name or any real personal information. Sure the man seemed really charming and friendly, but in an almost intimidating kind of way. The kind of the way that a king cobra might appear to hypnotize you before it strikes. The man also had the kind of demeanor that seemed familiar. He was confident without being cocky. He was eloquent in his speech, but not necessarily from book learning or advanced schooling. Zimm's friendly stranger also had the kind of smile that Zo only saw . . . on mobsters. Episode Segment Time Stamps  Opening Credits . . . . . . 00:02:32Favorite Parts . . . . . . . . 00:12:25Trivia . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .00:44:52Critics' Thoughts . . . . . .00:54:58 Get Shorty - Ben Stiller Deleted Scene -https://youtu.be/aKlH6_xZo6c?si=imC0RfQ4CeNJqgiN Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: fanmail@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

[School of Movies 2024] Cloon June finally comes to a close with a magnificent romantic thriller, written by Elmore Leonard, the author of Get Shorty, 3:10 to Yuma and Rum Punch, which became Jackie Brown. This one hit at the tail end of the 90s, and became a significant landmark in the careers of George Clooney, director Steven Soderbergh and George's co-star, a relative newcomer named Jenifer Lopez. Deliberately stylised to evoke the crime thrillers of the 1970s, we do time with smooth-talking bank robber Jack Foley, finally hitting a point of realisation that he is going to die of old age in prison. However, in striking out against that eventuality with an audacious piggybacked prison jailbreak he crosses paths with Karen Sisco, a U.S. Marshal with a shotgun and a Chanel Suit. Against all odds, after spending time in the trunk of a getaway car, the two of them wind up separated, with thoughts dwelling on each other. Karen pursues Jack from Miami to Detroit, but does she want to lock him up forever or bed him and find herself a new way of life? This absolute cherished favourite has been hugely influential on my work, especially The Princess Thieves: Available on Bandcamp.
