You can't stop the music, although a lot of people wanted to when The Village People's 1980 movie musical came out. Released in the wake of the infamous "Disco Demolition Night" in which rock fans burned disco albums, its appeal to its natural constituency was blunted by its strange tone. A film that is extremely squeamish around sexuality yet far freer with the drugs and nudity than a PG-certificate film ought to be, it's as mismatched as the band's famously eclectic stage outfits, though much less successful.Join Graham and Film Stories's Mark Harrison as they explore Can't Stop the Music's part in the creation of the Golden Raspberry awards, the surprisingly heavily contested origin of the 'YMCA' dance, Caitlyn Jenner's acting abilities and the Village People's post-fame afterlife from bar mitzvahs to - oh yes - Presidential Inaugurations. Plus, find out which controversial film was shooting at the same time as this, and why Mark's tangents need to have a Burial soundtrack.If you'd like to help us help Steve Guttenberg make it in the music biz, you can donate to our Patreon, where we're publishing regular reviews of The Twilight Zone and The X-Files, plus Outside the Blue Box, our series about what Doctor Who's cast and crew do in their time off.

Danny and Sandy...Troy and Gabriella...Baby and Johnny. All vacation romances that became classics in their own right. And then there's another that's maybe not quite as classic: the iconic, infamous, and Golden Raspberry award-winning duo of Justin and Kelly. ~~~“American Idol” season one was an entertainment behemoth in the 2002. It introduced us to sassy judges and gave the world the multi-hyphened legend, Ryan Seacrest. But besides that, it also introduced the world to Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini, the heroes of this episode.After season one was done, the next logical step was taken – LETS MAKE A MOVIE! And a movie, they made… “From Justin to Kelly” was a musical/rom-com/beach flick released in the summer of 2003. Considering how popular “American Idol” was, the film HAD to be a success, right?...This week Ray teaches Rob about the departure of Brian Dunkleman, how apparently Ft. Lauderdale has a platform on the beach where you can tap dance, and how the guy who wrote the script for “Spice World”, also wrote this script.

Golden Raspberry, conocidos como los premios Razzie, premiación creada en 1980 por el crítico y escritor de cine John J. B. Wilson como una forma de burlarse de los premios Oscar, publicó su lista de despreciables películas de la temporada: El exorcista: Creyentes; Los indestructibles 4; Megalodón 2: La fosa; ¡Shazam! La furia de los dioses; Winnie the Pooh: Sangre y miel. Y entre las peores catrices están tres latinas: Ana de Armas – Ghosted; Salma Hayek - El último baile de Magic Mike y Jennifer López - La madre.

It's our 100th episode! And what better way to celebrate than to look back at one of the great musical flops of all time, 1980's Xanadu. Starring Olivia Newton-John, Gene Kelly and a guy from The Warriors, it's the story of a Greek Muse sent to Earth on a mission to inspire. If she knew she was going to inspire him to make a swing dancing/roller disco fusion club, she'd have stayed on Mount Olympus. One of the films that led to the foundation of the Golden Raspberry awards, Xanadu nevertheless has a devoted cult following, two members of which - previous co-hosts David and Jeff - are here to guide Xana-newbie Graham through this bewildering film.

In our first back-to-back reviews of a film and its sequel, Shat The Movies presents "Allan Quatermain and The Lost City of Gold," the 1986 flop that answers the question: "what if leftover French fries were a movie?" In the second half of listener MoonlitTear's double commission, Gene Lyons boldly declares the movie series that kicked off with "King Solomon's Mines" isn't quite as good as the "Godfather" trilogy. Dick Ebert notes that only four people were credited with the "Lost City" special effects, and both Shat hosts struggle to make sense of an economy that's overflowing with gold but still insists on using slaves. James Earl Jones did his best to rescue this movie as the anchor to the world's worst Dungeons & Dragons party, while Sharon Stone earned herself a Golden Raspberry nomination for returning to her role as Jesse Huston. Was "Lost City" a parable for apartheid or just a terribly misunderstood parody? Listen to this week's podcast and decide for yourself!

Es famoso por ser el vocalista, frontman y co-compositor de la banda de heavy metal Iron Maiden. Es considerado por muchos expertos de canto, medios y el público en general como uno de los mejores cantantes de la historia de este género. También posee un nivel intermedio de interpretación en guitarra, mostrado principalmente en su carrera en solitario. Nacido en Worksop, Nottinghamshire, Bruce Dickinson comenzó su carrera musical en pequeñas bandas en la década de 1970, mientras asistía a la escuela en Sheffield y a la universidad en Londres. En 1979 se unió a la agrupación Samson, con la que logró cierta popularidad bajo el nombre artístico de "Bruce Bruce". Tras grabar dos discos de estudio dejó la banda en 1981 para unirse a Iron Maiden, reemplazando al cantante Paul Di'Anno. Durante su primera etapa en Iron Maiden grabó una serie de exitosos álbumes que se convirtieron en discos de platino y oro en los Estados Unidos y el Reino Unido en la década de 1980. Dickinson abandonó Iron Maiden en 1993 (siendo reemplazado por Blaze Bayley) para seguir una carrera como solista, lo que le permitió experimentar con una amplia variedad de estilos entre el heavy metal y el hard rock. Se reincorporó a la banda en 1999 junto con el guitarrista Adrian Smith. Tras su regreso a Iron Maiden grabó un nuevo disco en solitario en 2005, Tyranny of Souls. Su primo Rob Dickinson fue el vocalista de la banda británica de rock alternativo Catherine Wheel, mientras que su hijo, Austin, lideró la banda de metalcore Rise to Remain. Aparte de su carrera en la música, Dickinson ha llevado a cabo otro tipo de actividades. Emprendió una carrera como piloto comercial para la aerolínea Astraeus Airlines. Tras el cierre de Astraeus, creó su propia empresa de mantenimiento de aviones y capacitación de pilotos en 2012, Cardiff Aviation. Dickinson presentó su propio programa de radio en la emisora BBC Radio 6 Music de 2002 a 2010 y también ha presentado documentales de televisión, ha escrito novelas y guiones cinematográficos, creó una exitosa cerveza con Robinsons Brewery y compitió como esgrimista a nivel internacional. Paul Bruce Dickinson nació en Worksop, Nottinghamshire.​ Su madre, Sonia, trabajaba a medio tiempo en una fábrica de calzado, y su padre, Bruce (f.2018), era un mecánico del ejército.​ El inesperado embarazo de Sonia obligó a la joven pareja a contraer matrimonio.​ Inicialmente fue criado por sus abuelos, un trabajador de una mina de carbón local y un ama de casa.​ Este hecho es recordado por Dickinson en la letra de la canción "Born in '58" de su primer álbum como solista, Tattooed Millionaire.​ Estudió en la escuela primaria de Manton en Worksop mientras sus padres vivían en Sheffield.​ Cuando cumplió seis años fue enviado a Sheffield por sus abuelos,​ lugar donde ingresó en una escuela primaria en Manor.​ Luego de unos meses, sus padres decidieron inscribirlo en una escuela privada llamada Sharrow Vale Junior.​ Dickinson ha afirmado que debido a esta situación aprendió a ser autosuficiente, pero no pudo entablar amistades duraderas.​ Bruce tiene una hermana menor, la jinete profesional Helena Stormanns, nacida en 1963.​ Trató de aislarse de ella tanto como pudo cuando era joven, al parecer porque presumía que el nacimiento de Helena si fue planeado.​ La primera experiencia de Bruce con la música ocurrió en Worksop, cuando bailaba para sus abuelos la canción "The Twist" de Chubby Checker.​ Su primer álbum fue el sencillo "She Loves You" de The Beatles, un regalo de su abuelo. Desde ese momento empezó a interesarse en la música rock.​ Intentó tocar la guitarra acústica de su padre, pero sus dedos terminaron ampollados.​ Cuando se mudaron a Sheffield, los padres de Dickinson se ganaban la vida comprando propiedades, acondicionándolas y vendiéndolas para obtener un beneficio.​ Como resultado, gran parte de su infancia la pasó viviendo en un sitio de construcción, hasta que sus padres compraron una pensión y un garaje en bancarrota donde su padre comenzó a vender autos de segunda mano.​ Los ingresos de su negocio le dieron la oportunidad de darle a Bruce (entonces de 13 años) una educación en un internado en la escuela Oundle, una institución pública en Northamptonshire.​ Dickinson no se oponía a mudarse de su hogar porque no había logrado "ningún vínculo real" con sus padres, ya que había sido criado por sus abuelos en Worksop hasta que cumplió los seis años.​ En Oundle, Dickinson era acosado constantemente por los niños mayores de Sidney House, la pensión a la que pertenecía,​ hecho que describió como "una tortura sistemática" que lo llevó a convertirse en un niño prácticamente aislado.​ Sus intereses en Oundle solían ser militares; fue cofundador de la sociedad de juegos de guerra de la escuela con su compañero Mike Jordan, logrando una posición de cierto poder en la fuerza de cadetes de la escuela,​ donde se le permitió manejar munición real, que utilizaba para crear trampas explosivas.​ En Oundle Dickinson empezó a interesarse en el hard rock, especialmente tras escuchar la épica canción "Child in Time" de Deep Purple en el cuarto de uno de sus compañeros, quedando asombrado por la potencia vocal de Ian Gillan.​ El primer álbum que compró con su propio dinero fue Deep Purple In Rock, disco que terminó de afianzar su gusto por este tipo de música.​ Más adelante compró el álbum debut de Black Sabbath, Aqualung de Jethro Tull y Tarkus de Emerson, Lake & Palmer.​ La primera banda que pudo ver en directo fue Wild Turkey, agrupación que tocó en su escuela y que tenía entre sus filas al bajista de Jethro Tull, Glenn Cornick.​ Más tarde asistió a conciertos de Van der Graaf Generator y Arthur Brown.​ Bruce se interesó inicialmente en aprender a tocar la batería,​ practicando con un par de bongós.​ El músico recuerda que tocaba y cantaba la canción "Let It Be" con su amigo Mike Jordan, descubriendo que tenía una voz prometedora para cantar música rock.​ Poco tiempo después fue expulsado de Oundle por participar en una broma en la que orinó sobre la cena del director de la institución.​ Tras retornar a su hogar en Sheffield en 1976, ingresó en la escuela King Edward VII, lugar donde se unió a su primera banda.​ Escuchó a otros dos alumnos hablar sobre la necesidad de un cantante para su banda, por lo que se ofreció como voluntario de inmediato.​ La banda practicaba en el garaje del padre del baterista. Allí sus compañeros se asombraron por su calidad vocal, animándolo para que comprara un micrófono.​ Su primera presentación ocurrió en una pequeña taberna en Sheffield.​ Originalmente llamada "Paradox", la banda cambió su nombre a "Styx" por sugerencia de Bruce, sin tener en cuenta que en ese momento ya existía una banda en los Estados Unidos con el mismo nombre.​ Llegaron a los titulares de los periódicos locales cuando un obrero local fue despertado por su actuación y, enojado, trató de romper la batería de la banda.​ Poco tiempo después la agrupación se disolvió.​ Después de graduarse de la escuela con énfasis en inglés, historia y economía, Dickinson confesó: "Realmente no sabía qué era lo que quería hacer".​ Lo primero que hizo fue unirse a la Segunda Reserva del Ejército por seis meses.​ Aunque disfrutó su experiencia militar, Dickinson se dio cuenta de que no quería esta opción como una carrera y aplicó para estudiar historia en la Universidad Queen Mary de Londres.​ Sus padres querían que se uniera al ejército, pero Bruce les mintió diciendo que quería graduarse antes para tener más libertad de cantar en bandas de rock.​ En la universidad se involucró en el Comité de Entretenimiento, afirmando sobre esta experiencia lo siguiente: "Un día eres roadie para The Jam, al día siguiente estás cargando una escenografía de Stonehenge para Hawkwind."​ En 1977 conoció a Paul "Noddy" White, un multi-instrumentista dueño de un gran equipo de grabación, con el que Bruce, junto al baterista Steve Jones, formaría una banda llamada Speed.​ De acuerdo con Dickinson, la banda se llamó Speed ("velocidad" en español) por la forma en que tocaban y no como una alusión a la droga del mismo nombre. ​ Dickinson empezó a escribir su propio material cuando White le enseñó tres acordes en su guitarra.​ Aunque Speed llegó a tocar varias veces en la taberna Green Man en Plumstead, la banda no duró mucho, pero sirvió como impulso para que Bruce se esforzara por buscar una carrera en la música.​ Dickinson vio un aviso en Melody Maker que decía: "Se necesita cantante para proyecto de grabación" y lo respondió inmediatamente.​ Grabó una cinta demo y la envió con la siguiente nota: "Por cierto, si creen que lo que canto es una basura, hay algún material de John Cleese grabado en el otro lado que espero les guste".​ Quedaron impresionados con su voz y lo invitaron al estudio para grabar una canción titulada "Dracula", primera pieza musical grabada por Bruce, con una agrupación llamada Shots,​ formada por dos hermanos, Phil y Doug Siviter.​ La canción fue incluida años después en el álbum recopilatorio The Best of Bruce Dickinson. Los hermanos quedaron impresionados con la calidad vocal de Bruce y le pidieron que se uniera a su banda.​ La agrupación realizaba presentaciones constantes en pequeños clubes.​ Una noche Dickinson se detuvo a mitad de una canción e increpó a uno de los asistentes por no prestar atención a la música.​ Esta práctica tuvo tan buena aceptación que el cantante empezó a hacerlo todas las noches como una práctica regular en sus presentaciones en vivo. Dickinson afirma que esta experiencia le enseñó a convertirse en un "frontman".​ El siguiente paso en su carrera fue la visita de los músicos Barry Graham ("Thunderstick") y Paul Samson a una de las presentaciones de Shots en una taberna llamada Prince of Wales en Kent.​ Impresionados con su voz y su manejo del escenario, hablaron con Dickinson después de la presentación y le ofrecieron ser el cantante de su banda, Samson.​ Dickinson aceptó unirse a la agrupación con la condición de que le dejaran presentar sus exámenes finales de historia.​ Hasta ese momento, había estado descuidando su educación universitaria.​ Como resultado, la universidad había intentado expulsarlo por reprobar sus exámenes de segundo año y no pagar sus honorarios de alojamiento, pero logró continuar debido a su papel como oficial de entretenimiento.​ Después de escribir ensayos de seis meses en el lapso de dos semanas y algunos ejercicios de última hora para sus exámenes, Dickinson logró graduarse sin muchos méritos.​ El 19 de julio de 2011, Dickinson obtuvo un doctorado honorario en música de parte de su alma máter en honor a sus contribuciones a la industria musical.​ Después de conocer a Paul Samson y a Barry Purkis y de culminar sus exámenes finales, Dickinson se unió a la banda Samson en un escenario de Bishop's Stortford para cantar la canción "Rock Me Baby", consolidando su papel como nuevo vocalista principal de la agrupación.​ La banda ya había publicado su álbum debut, Survivors de 1979, dos meses antes de la llegada de Bruce.​ Tras culminar sus estudios, Dickinson se encontró con la banda en un estudio de grabación de Greenwich para aprender las canciones de Survivors.​ Aunque no encajaban en su estilo vocal,​ la banda rápidamente escribió nuevas canciones que serían incluidas en el álbum Head On,​ algunas de las cuales fueron tocadas en vivo poco tiempo después.​ Fue durante esos primeros ensayos que surgió el nombre artístico de "Bruce Bruce", derivado de un episodio llamado "Bruces sketch" de la serie de televisión Monty Python.​ El nombre se volvió muy tedioso para Dickinson ya que la banda continuamente emitía cheques sin fondos, pagaderos a favor de "Bruce Bruce" a modo de broma.​ Dickinson más tarde comentó que odiaba ese nombre pero que terminó aceptándolo como su nombre artístico.​ Bruce se llevó una sorpresa al enterarse que no todos los músicos de rock eran "grandes artistas"; sentía que algunos de ellos, como sus compañeros en Samson, solo estaban interesados ​​en las mujeres, las drogas y el alcohol, algo con lo que no estaba de acuerdo pues sus aspiraciones eran mayores.​ Aunque había fumado marihuana antes,​ Dickinson descubrió que le era imposible comunicarse con los otros miembros de la banda si estaba sobrio, y decidió que era "el precio que debía pagar".​ Mientras lideraba la banda, Bruce escuchó a Iron Maiden por primera vez cuando la agrupación de Steve Harris abrió uno de los conciertos de Samson en el Music Machine en 1980.​ Al respecto, Dickinson afirmó: "Los vi en vivo ese día y me di cuenta que eran buenos, realmente buenos. Recuerdo que en ese momento pensé que quería ser su vocalista".​ Dickinson permaneció en Samson un año, grabando los álbumes de estudio Head On y Shock Tactics.​ Sin embargo, la banda pronto tuvo dificultades con su sello discográfico, Gem Records, que entró en quiebra y no financió su gira europea como soporte de Iron Maiden.​ La banda firmó con RCA, pero la discográfica no se mostró muy interesada.​ Tras una presentación de Samson en el Festival de Reading, el mánager de Iron Maiden, Rod Smallwood, se acercó a Dickinson y le ofreció ser el nuevo vocalista de Iron Maiden.​ Dickinson audicionó para Iron Maiden en una sala de ensayos en Hackney en septiembre de 1981. Allí descubrió que la banda tenía un nivel de profesionalismo superior al de su anterior grupo, Samson.​ En la sala de ensayos, la banda tocó las canciones "Prowler", "Sanctuary", "Running Free" y "Remember Tomorrow", antes de pedirle a Dickinson que cantara las mismas canciones en un estudio de grabación.​ Iron Maiden tenía una rutina estricta y organizada que se adaptaba al estilo de composición de la banda, algo que Dickinson describió como "la tabla de tiempo".​ Después de brindar algunos conciertos, la agrupación comenzó a componer nuevo material para su tercer álbum de estudio, The Number of the Beast, publicado en 1982. A raíz de los problemas contractuales de Samson, Dickinson no pudo ser acreditado legalmente en ninguna de las canciones del disco,​ limitándose a hacer lo que él mismo llamó como "contribuciones morales", revelando años después que contribuyó en alguna medida en la composición de las canciones "The Prisoner", "Children of the Damned" y "Run to the Hills".​ El álbum fue un éxito y encabezó las listas británicas,​ logrando la certificación de disco de platino en el Reino Unido y en los Estados Unidos.​ Tras su lanzamiento, la banda se embarcó en la gira internacional The Beast on the Road para promocionar el disco. En los siguientes álbumes, Piece of Mind de 1983 y Powerslave de 1984, el monopolio compositivo de Steve Harris fue dejado de lado para incorporar las ideas de los demás miembros de la banda. Dickinson contribuyó con la composición de algunas canciones como los sencillos "Flight of Icarus" y "2 Minutes to Midnight".​ Durante la multitudinaria gira World Slavery Tour, como parte de los nuevos elementos teatrales incorporados en el escenario de la banda, Bruce usó una máscara con plumas durante la interpretación de la canción "Powerslave". Según sus propias declaraciones, compró dicha máscara en una tienda de artículos sexuales.​ La gira fue tan larga y desgastante que Dickinson llegó a considerar abandonar el proyecto cuando el tour se encontraba a mitad de camino.​ La gerencia de Iron Maiden añadía fechas a la gira constantemente hasta que Dickinson amenazó con dejar la banda si continuaban haciéndolo.​ Al finalizar la gira, la banda se tomó seis meses de descanso, tiempo que Bruce aprovechó para practicar esgrima.​ Iron Maiden comenzó a escribir material para su siguiente álbum, Somewhere in Time. Dickinson estaba decepcionado ya que sentía que la banda requería en ese momento de un estilo más acústico para seguir siendo relevante, a pesar de que se introdujeron sintetizadores en la grabación del disco.​ No tuvo créditos de composición en el álbum, ya que su material fue rechazado por el resto de la banda.​ Steve Harris declaró que esto ocurrió porque sus composiciones no eran lo suficientemente buenas, pues Dickinson "probablemente era el más afectado tras finalizar la gira World Slavery Tour".​ Tras la gira promocional de Somewhere in Time, Iron Maiden empezó a trabajar en su siguiente álbum de estudio, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, disco más experimental que sus anteriores trabajos y con algunos elementos de rock progresivo.​ Aunque se convirtió en el segundo álbum de Iron Maiden en encabezar las listas de éxitos británicas,​ fue el primer álbum con Dickinson como cantante que no alcanzó la certificación de platino en los Estados Unidos.​ A diferencia de Somewhere in Time, Dickinson se mostró más entusiasmado con el álbum y aportó créditos de composición.​ Después de finalizar la gira promocional del disco en 1988, el grupo decidió tomarse un año de descanso.​ Durante la etapa de composición del siguiente álbum, el guitarrista Adrian Smith dejó la banda y fue reemplazado por Janick Gers. El octavo álbum de estudio de Iron Maiden, No Prayer for the Dying de 1990, representó un cambio significativo en el sonido de la banda, abandonando la experimentación a favor de un heavy metal más convencional y comercial. Bruce cambió su forma de cantar, adoptando una voz más áspera.​ El disco fue grabado en un rancho de propiedad de Steve Harris con el estudio móvil de The Rolling Stones.​ La canción "Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter", compuesta originalmente por Dickinson para la banda sonora de la película de terror estadounidense A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child, se convirtió en el único sencillo de Iron Maiden en encabezar la lista de éxitos UK Singles Chart, pese a recibir un premio Golden Raspberry en la categoría de peor canción original en 1989.​ En 1992, Harris había convertido su rancho en un estudio de grabación y allí fue grabado Fear of the Dark, el nuevo álbum de estudio de la banda.​ Luego de la gira mundial Fear of the Dark Tour, Dickinson decidió dejar Iron Maiden para enfocarse en su carrera como solista.​ En ese momento la banda había agendado otra gira mundial en 1993, de la cual Bruce no disfrutó. A lo largo de la misma, Dickinson recibió muchas críticas de sus compañeros de banda. Steve Harris llegó a afirmar que en ese momento quería matarlo,​ pues según él, Dickinson solamente se esforzaba cuando la prensa se encontraba en el evento,​ de lo contrario simplemente mascullaba las canciones arriba del escenario.​ Bruce ha negado estas acusaciones, argumentando que le era imposible brindar un rendimiento decente algunas noches debido a la mala atmósfera existente entre él y sus compañeros.​ Su última presentación con la banda fue filmada por la BBC en los estudios Pinewood y publicada en vídeo con el título Raising Hell, con la incorporación del ilusionista Simon Drake animando el espectáculo.​ Junto con Adrian Smith, Dickinson regresó a Iron Maiden en 1999 después de sostener una conversación con Rod Smallwood.​ Smallwood le mencionó la posibilidad del retorno de Bruce a Steve Harris, pero el bajista inicialmente mostró algunas reservas al respecto, algo que cambió con el paso del tiempo.​ Harris y Dickinson se reunieron en la casa de Smallwood en Brighton en enero de 1999 para dialogar, algo que no ocurría entre ambos músicos desde 1993.​ Aunque se encontraban nerviosos por el encuentro, al verse cara a cara la tensión se disipó de inmediato y ambos acordaron que Dickinson debía regresar al grupo.​ Después de embarcarse en la gira promocional del álbum recopilatorio Ed Hunter, la banda ingresó al estudio para grabar el disco Brave New World, primer álbum con Dickinson desde 1992. Bruce insistió en que la agrupación debía buscar un nuevo productor en reemplazo de Martin Birch y grabar en un estudio diferente al que se utilizó para la grabación de No Prayer for the Dying y Fear of the Dark, algo que Harris aceptó.​ Finalmente el disco fue grabado en los estudios Guillaume Tell en París con el productor Kevin "The Caveman" Shirley.​ La agrupación se embarcó en una gira mundial, finalizando en el popular festival Rock in Rio ante unas 250000 personas.​ En 2003 la banda grabó el álbum Dance of Death en los estudios SARM de Londres, nuevamente con Kevin Shirley como productor.​ Después de salir de gira Iron Maiden regresó a SARM en 2006 para grabar el álbum A Matter of Life and Death,​ para luego embarcarse en un tour a nivel mundial. Entre 2008 y 2009 la banda llevó a cabo la gira Somewhere Back In Time World Tour,​ en la que Bruce piloteó un Boeing 757 bautizado Ed Force One.​ Fue realizado un entensivo documental sobre la gira titulado Iron Maiden: Flight 666, que tuvo un estreno limitado en cines en 2009.​ Iron Maiden volvió a salir de gira en 2010 para promocionar un nuevo disco, llamado The Final Frontier​ y grabado en Nassau.​ En septiembre de 2014 Iron Maiden empezó la grabación de su álbum de estudio número 16, The Book of Souls, en los estudios Guillaume Tell en París.​ El álbum contiene dos canciones escritas en su totalidad por Dickinson, "If Eternity Should Fail" y "Empire of the Clouds",​ la primera de ellas escrita para un posible álbum como solista.​ "Empire of the Clouds", de casi 18 minutos de duración,​ se convirtió en la canción más larga en toda la discografía de Iron Maiden y presenta a Bruce Dickinson tocando el piano por primera vez en una grabación de la banda.​ Hubo una nueva gira en 2016, con Dickinson piloteando nuevamente el avión de la agrupación.​ En el marco de la gira Eddie Rips Up the World Tour en 2005, Iron Maiden se presentó en el festival estadounidense Ozzfest junto a Black Sabbath como cabeza de cartel. Sharon, la esposa y representante del cantante Ozzy Osbourne, incitó a algunos amigos de su familia y miembros de otras bandas a sabotear la última presentación de Iron Maiden en el Anfiteatro San Manuel en San Bernardino, California el 20 de agosto,​ en un ataque que fue descrito por Rod Smallwood como "vil, peligroso, criminal y cobarde, un irrespeto a los fanáticos que pagaron una entrada para ver a su banda tocar un concierto completo".​ Sharon ordenó que el sonido de la banda fuera cortado, retrasó la entrada de la mascota Eddie the Head​ y alentó a los seguidores de su familia a arrojar huevos, tapas de botellas y encendedores desde la audiencia.​ De acuerdo a Dickinson, este ataque fue la respuesta a unas declaraciones dadas por el músico en las que criticaba los programas de telerrealidad, algo que, según él, Sharon Osbourne tomó de manera personal.​ Sin embargo, el diario The Guardian informó que Dickinson se había referido de mala manera al programa The Osbournes y había hecho mofa del uso del teleprónter en los conciertos de Ozzy Osbourne.​ Dickinson ha negado haber hecho comentarios contra Ozzy Osbourne y Black Sabbath,​ pero admitió sus críticas hacia la organización del Ozzfest, asegurando que muchas de las bandas que participaban del festival habían pagado para poder estar allí.​ Después del fallido concierto en San Bernardino, Sharon lanzó una declaración adicional donde acusaba a Dickinson de hacer varios comentarios en contra de los Estados Unidos,​ de los que no se presentó ninguna evidencia.​ Adicionalmente, Osbourne afirmó que la bandera británica exhibida por Dickinson durante la canción "The Trooper" era una falta de respeto con las tropas estadounidenses​ que en ese momento se encontraban peleando junto al ejército británico en la Guerra de Irak.​ Sharon también afirmó que Steve Harris le había presentado disculpas a su esposo Ozzy en San Bernardino por los comentarios de Dickinson,​ algo que Harris negó tiempo después, asegurando que sus palabras fueron tergiversadas.​ A comienzos de 1989, el sello discográfico Zomba le pidió a Dickinson que produjera una canción para la película de horror A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child,​ proporcionándole un presupuesto, un estudio y un productor, Chris Tsangarides. Dickinson aceptó la propuesta y se puso en contacto con el guitarrista Janick Gers para grabar la canción "Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter"​ con la colaboración del bajista Andy Carr y del baterista Fabio del Río.​ "La escribí en tres minutos", afirmó Dickinson, "No se de donde salió el título, simplemente apareció en mi cabeza".​ Impresionados con los resultados, los agentes de Zomba le ofrecieron a Dickinson un contrato para grabar un álbum completo en calidad de solista.​ Con la misma alineación y el mismo productor, el álbum debut de Bruce Dickinson, Tattooed Millionaire, fue escrito y grabado en aproximadamente dos semanas y publicado en mayo de 1990 con su correspondiente gira.​ Ese mismo año Dickinson grabó el clásico de Deep Purple "Smoke on the Water" junto con otras estrellas del rock como Ritchie Blackmore, Paul Rodgers, Bryan Adams, Tony Iommi, David Gilmour y Brian May, como parte del esfuerzo benéfico Rock Aid Armenia.​ Acompañado por la banda británica Skin, produjo una versión de la canción "Elected" de Alice Cooper con el actor Rowan Atkinson (caracterizando a Mr. Bean), usada en 1992 por la organización caritativa Comic Relief​ y cinco años más tarde en la banda sonora de la película de humor Bean.​ Para su segunda producción discográfica como solista, Dickinson contó con la colaboración del productor estadounidense Keith Olsen. Mientras se encontraba trabajando en el disco en Los Ángeles, decidió abandonar la alineación de Iron Maiden.​ Descontento por la orientación que estaba tomando el proyecto con Olsen, Dickinson empezó a trabajar con el guitarrista de la banda de rock latino Tribe of Gypsies, Roy Z.​ El álbum Balls to Picasso fue grabado con la banda Tribe of Gypsies como soporte​ y publicado en 1994. El mismo año Dickinson grabó una versión de la canción "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" con la banda Godspeed para el disco tributo a Black Sabbath Nativity in Black.​ Con la ayuda del compositor y guitarrista Alex Dickson, Bruce empezó a crear material para su nuevo disco.​ En 1994 y con su nueva banda, Bruce brindó un concierto en Sarajevo. Esta presentación fue usada para crear el documental Scream For Me Sarajevo, estrenado en 2017.​ Tras la finalización de la gira en soporte del disco Balls to Picasso, Dickinson empezó a trabajar en la grabación de su nuevo álbum, Skunkworks. El músico decidió que Skunkworks sería también el nombre de la banda, pero la compañía discográfica se rehusó a publicar el álbum sin que su nombre apareciera en la portada.​ Dickinson contrató al productor Jack Endino, recordado por producir el primer álbum de estudio de Nirvana. El proyecto Skunkworks se disolvió cuando finalizó la gira. "Estaba devastado por lo de Skunkworks", afirmó Bruce, "Skunkworks fue un disco por el que trabajé incansablemente y a nadie pareció importarle una mierda".​ Después de un breve periodo de inactividad, Dickinson se reunió nuevamente con el guitarrista Roy Z para grabar su siguiente disco, Accident of Birth. "Fue realmente Roy el que me convenció de volver a intentarlo. Me llamó por teléfono y me dijo que estaba trabajando en un nuevo material que sonaba como un álbum de metal. Yo estaba asustado, pensaba que no tenía nada para ofrecer. Pero cuando escuché por el teléfono algunas de sus canciones me di cuenta que realmente había algo allí".​ Bruce le ofreció al guitarrista Adrian Smith que tomara parte de la grabación del álbum como un segundo guitarrista, pero terminó quedándose definitivamente en la alineación.​ El álbum marcó el retorno de Bruce Dickinson al heavy metal, logrando excelentes críticas por parte de la prensa especializada. El portal Sputnikmusic remarcó: "Es un álbum satisfactorio que llena el vacío que dejó Iron Maiden durante la década de 1990".​ El siguiente disco, The Chemical Wedding, un álbum semi-conceptual basado en la obra de William Blake, fue incluso más exitoso que su predecesor. Sputnikmusic afirmó: "Bruce ha superado todas las expectativas dando vida a un álbum incluso mejor que el anterior."​ Durante la gira soporte de The Chemical Wedding fue grabada una presentación en tierras brasileñas, registrada en el álbum Scream for Me Brazil. El disco fue publicado en 1999, año en el que Smith y Dickinson regresaron a Iron Maiden. En el año 2000, Dickinson aportó la voz para la canción "Into the Black Hole" del álbum Universal Migrator Part 2: Flight of the Migrator de la banda de metal progresivo Ayreon.​ Ese mismo año colaboró con el cantante Rob Halford en la grabación de la canción "The One You Love to Hate", disponible en el álbum Resurrection de la banda Halford.​ Un álbum recopilatorio titulado The Best of Bruce Dickinson fue publicado a finales de 2001, incluyendo dos nuevas canciones y un disco de rarezas.​ Su último álbum de estudio, Tyranny of Souls, fue publicado en mayo de 2005. En esta oportunidad, la composición de las canciones se dividió entre Roy Z y Dickinson y muchas canciones fueron compuestas por Roy, quien le enviaba las grabaciones a Bruce mientras estaba de gira con Iron Maiden.​ El 21 de junio de 2005 la discografía completa de Bruce Dickinson fue relanzada con material adicional. El mismo año Bruce aportó su voz para la canción "Beast in the Light" de la banda brasileña Tribuzy.​ Un box-set compuesto por tres discos de DVD titulado Anthology fue publicado el 19 de junio de 2006, con conciertos y vídeos promocionales de toda la carrera en solitario del cantante, al igual que un vídeo clásico de Samson titulado "Biceps of Steel".​ En diciembre de 2017, Dickinson afirmó que existía la posibilidad de publicar un álbum conceptual titulado If Eternity Should Fail, el mismo nombre de la primera canción del álbum The Book of Souls de Iron Maiden, confirmando que dicha canción fue compuesta originalmente para ser usada en su nuevo trabajo como solista. "Si hago otro álbum en solitario, algo que creo que haré, podría seguir con mi plan original y titularlo If Eternity Should Fail. Fue la primera canción que escribí para él. Entonces probablemente la incluiría allí. Pero sería ligeramente diferente a la versión de Maiden". Bruce estuvo casado con Jane Dickinson entre 1983 y 1987.​ Posteriormente, se casó con Paddy Bowden, con quien tiene tres hijos: Austin (nacido en 1990), Griffin (nacido en 1992) y Kia (nacida en 1994).​ Todos nacieron en Chiswick, Londres,​ donde Dickinson ha vivido desde 1981. ​ Austin Dickinson fue el vocalista principal de la banda de metalcore Rise to Remain​ hasta que esta se disolvió en 2015. Tiempo después formó un nuevo grupo llamado As Lions.​ Griffin Dickinson, que había trabajado como técnico durante algunas giras de Iron Maiden,​ es el vocalista de la banda de hardcore melódico SHVPES.​ El primo de Bruce, Rob Dickinson, fue el cantante de la banda de rock alternativo Catherine Wheel y fundó la compañía Singer Vehicle Design, especializada en vehículos Porsche.​ En una entrevista con Sarah Montague para el programa HARDtalk de la BBC en 2012, Dickinson se describió como conservador y euroescéptico.​ En 2015 el músico se sometió a siete semanas de quimioterapia y radioterapia para combatir un tumor cancerígeno en la parte posterior de su lengua.​ Su equipo médico esperaba una total recuperación tras detectar el tumor en una primera etapa de desarrollo.​ El 15 de mayo sus especialistas le informaron que el tumor había sido controlado. En una entrevista con el periodista estadounidense Eddie Trunk, Bruce afirmó que su enfermedad había sido ocasionada por el virus del papiloma humano, probablemente adquirido por la práctica del sexo oral.​ Aparte de la música, Dickinson ha trabajado en diversos campos. Practica esgrima con un gran nivel, llegando a alcanzar la séptima posición en la clasificación de la disciplina en Gran Bretaña,​ fundando además una compañía de equipamiento para el deporte llamada "Duellists" ("duelistas" en castellano, referencia al título de una canción del álbum Powerslave de Iron Maiden).​ También es piloto de aviones y ocupó el rango de comandante para la desaparecida empresa de aviación Astraeus. Es el propietario de una empresa de mantenimiento de aviones. En 2010 Bruce asumió como director de marketing de Astraeus. Dado el amplio interés y experiencia en diferentes áreas del conocimiento, Dickinson es considerado como un polímata, siendo calificado como tal por la revista británica Intelligent Life (hoy conocida como 1843) en una edición del año 2009.​ Dickinson aprendió a volar de forma recreacional en Florida en la década de 1990​ y actualmente cuenta con una licencia de piloto. Regularmente pilotaba aviones Boeing 757 en su rol de capitán de la aerolínea de vuelos chárter Astraeus,​ en la cual también se desempeñó como director de mercadeo.​ Tras el cierre de Astraeus el 21 de noviembre de 2011, Dickinson fundó la compañía Cardiff Aviation Limited el 1 de mayo de 2012, especializada en el mantenimiento de aeronaves.​ De acuerdo a The Wall Street Journal, en enero de 2013 Cardiff Aviation había generado 40 empleos y tenía la meta de superar los 100 empleos para 2013.​ En junio de 2013, The Daily Telegraph reportó que la compañía había logrado generar alrededor de 70 nuevos empleos.​ En agosto de 2015, Cardiff Aviation firmó un contrato para brindar sus servicios a la aerolínea Air Djibouti.​ Como resultado de su experiencia en los negocios, ha sido orador en importantes eventos alrededor del mundo.​ Su papel como piloto lo ha llevado a liderar algunos vuelos de alto perfil, como el retorno de un grupo de pilotos de la Real Fuerza Aérea desde Afganistán en 2008,​ 200 ciudadanos británicos desde Líbano durante el conflicto bélico de ese país en 2006​ y 180 turistas varados en Egipto tras el colapso de la aerolínea XL Airways en septiembre de 2008.​ Adicionalmente transportó a las plantillas de los equipos de fútbol Rangers F.C. y Liverpool F.C. a jugar partidos como visitante en Israel e Italia en 2007 y 2010 respectivamente.​ En la gira Somewhere Back In Time World Tour fue el piloto del Boeing 757 que transportó a la banda y a todo su montaje en un extenso tour a nivel mundial.​ Esta experiencia fue registrada en el documental Iron Maiden: Flight 666.​ Dickinson pilotó el "Ed Force One" nuevamente para la gira The Final Frontier World Tour en 2011.​ Para la gira The Book of Souls World Tour, la banda voló en un jet Boeing 747-400, pilotado de igual manera por el cantante.​ Presentó un programa llamado Bruce Dickinson's Friday Rock Show en una emisora de radio de la BBC inglesa especializado en rock alternativo. Su última transmisión en vivo ocurrió el 28 de mayo de 2010 abandonando el formato habitual del programa para realizar un tributo personal y musical al cantante entonces recién fallecido Ronnie James Dio. También estuvo encargado del programa Monsters of Rock en otro dial de la misma radio entre 2003 y 2007.​ En 2005 fue el presentador del documental Flying Heavy Metal del canal Discovery Channel, en el que combinaba sus dos grandes aficiones, los aviones y la música.​ En 2006 presentó un documental para Sky One titulado Inside Spontaneous Human Combustion with Bruce Dickinson, en el que se investigaba el fenómeno de la combustión humana espontánea mediante la ayuda de varios expertos y la realización de varios experimentos para determinar su posible causa.​ Otras apariciones en televisión incluyen papeles de invitado en producciones como Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Space Cadets y Clarkson, programa conducido por Jeremy Clarkson.​ Dickinson también apareció en una serie de la BBC llamada The Paradise Club, interpretando el papel de un músico llamado Jake Skinner.​ Durante la gira Somewhere on Tour en 1987, Dickinson empezó a escribir su primera novela.​ El músico describió su obra The Adventures of Lord Iffy Boatrace como una mezcla entre la literatura de Tom Sharpe, el piloto ficticio Biggles y la revista Penthouse.​ Kerrang! se refirió a la misma como "un ataque satírico al fetichismo entre las clases altas".​ Tras terminar su escritura, Dickinson se dirigió a la editorial Sidgwick & Jackson, quienes, según el propio Bruce, accedieron a publicar el libro sin siquiera leerlo, basados simplemente en las ventas de los álbumes de Iron Maiden.​ Publicada en 1990, la novela vendió más de 40.000 copias en poco tiempo.​ Debido a la alta demanda, Sidgwick & Jackson pidieron a Dickinson la producción de una secuela,​ publicada en 1992 con el título The Missionary Position, una sátira al teleevangelismo.​ No se publicaron nuevas novelas de la serie, aunque Dickinson escribió las primeras 60 páginas de una precuela que pretendía contar la historia de Lord Iffy Boatrace en su adolescencia.​ Escribió el guion para la película Chemical Wedding junto al cineasta Julian Doyle, basada en la vida y obra de Aleister Crowley, el legendario místico, mago y ocultista inglés del siglo XX, fundador de la religión neopagana Thelema. La película, en la que Dickinson apareció en un pequeño cameo, fue estrenada en 2008 y contó con la actuación de Simon Callow.​ El 15 de octubre de 2015, las editoriales HarperCollins y Dey Street anunciaron la publicación de un libro con las memorias de Bruce Dickinson.​ What Does This Button Do?​ fue publicado el 19 de octubre de 2017.​ En 2013 Iron Maiden colaboró con la compañía cervecera Robinsons Brewery en la localidad de Stockport para crear la cerveza "Trooper",​ mediante una receta formulada por Dickinson con el cervecero Martyn Weeks.​ En mayo de 2014 la cerveza había vendido más de dos millones de pintas en 40 países, convirtiéndose en la exportación más exitosa de Robinsons.​ Tras el éxito de Trooper, Dickinson, un fanático de la cerveza de barril tradicional inglesa,​ declaró que tiene la intención de desarrollar más cervezas en el futuro, aunque los nuevos productos estarían "basados en Trooper y no en Iron Maiden, pues Trooper ha tomado una vida propia. La gente la bebe porque les gusta la cerveza, no porque sean fanáticos de Maiden".​ Aunque Dickinson nunca recibió un entrenamiento de voz formal, aún posee un amplio rango vocal registrado como tenor dramático. ​ Junto con Ronnie James Dio y Rob Halford, Dickinson es uno de los pioneros del estilo vocal operístico que más tarde sería adoptado por los vocalistas de power metal y regularmente aparece cerca de la cima en las listas de los mejores vocalistas de rock de todos los tiempos.​ Bruce ha afirmado que su estilo fue influenciado principalmente por los cantantes Arthur Brown, Ian Gillan de (Deep Purple), Ian Anderson (de Jethro Tull) y Peter Hammill (de Van der Graaf Generator).​ Su forma de cantar varió notablemente en la década de 1990 en la grabación de álbumes como No Prayer for the Dying, Fear of the Dark y su primer trabajo en solitario Tattooed Millionaire, haciendo uso de un sonido mucho más áspero, algo especialmente notorio en la canción "Be Quick or Be Dead" de Fear of the Dark.​ Desde su regreso a Iron Maiden en 1999, adoptó nuevamente su particular voz de la década de 1980,​ aunque su potencia ha disminuido con la edad.​ Según un informe publicado en el Daily Mirror, Dickinson tiene un rango vocal estimado de 4.25 octavas.​ Además de su capacidad vocal, Bruce es conocido por sus actuaciones enérgicas en el escenario, que ofrece constantemente a pesar de su edad.​ Considera que el público asistente debe sentir "la esencia de la experiencia de Maiden" y que su papel es "reducir el lugar para convertir un estadio de fútbol en el club más pequeño del mundo".​ Para lograr esto, insiste en mantener contacto visual con los miembros de la audiencia,​ motivándolos a gritar usando la frase "Scream for Me" ("Griten para mí").​ Constantemente critica a los artistas que no se conectan con sus fanáticos, particularmente con aquellos que "se ocultan detrás de los amplificadores" y usan teleprompters, señalando que "la gente paga un buen dinero para verlos y ellos ni siquiera pueden recordar la maldita letra de sus canciones".

Welcome to our first episode of the new year, which is also our first episode of Season 5. Thank you for continuing to join us on this amazing journey. On today's episode, we head back to Christmas of 1980, when pop music superstar Neil Diamond would be making his feature acting debut in a new version of The Jazz Singer. ----more---- EPISODE TRANSCRIPT From Los Angeles, California, the entertainment capital of the world, this is The 80s Movies Podcast. I am your host, Edward Havens. Thank you for listening today.   It's 2023, which means we are starting our fifth season. And for our first episode of this new season, we're going back to the end of 1980, to take a look back at what was supposed to be the launch of a new phase in the career of one of music's biggest stars. That musical star was Neil Diamond, and this would end up becoming his one and only attempt to act in a motion picture.   We're talking about The Jazz Singer.   As I have said time and time again, I don't really have a plan for this show. I talk about the movies and subjects I talk about often on a whim. I'll hear about something and I'll be reminded of something, and a few days later, I've got an episode researched, written, recorded, edited and out there in the world. As I was working on the previous episode, about The War of the Roses just before my trip to Thailand, I saw a video of Neil Diamond singing Sweet Caroline on opening night of A Beautiful Noise, a new Broadway musical about the life and music of Mr. Diamond. I hadn't noticed Diamond had stopped performing live five years earlier due to a diagnosis of Parkinson's, and it was very touching to watch a thousand people joyously singing along with the man.   But as I was watching that video, I was reminded of The Jazz Singer, a movie we previously covered very lightly three years ago as part of our episode on the distribution company Associated Film Distribution. I was reminded that I haven't seen the movie in over forty years, even though I remember rather enjoying it when it opened in theatres in December 1980. I think I saw it four or five times over the course of a month, and I even went out and bought the soundtrack album, which I easily listened to a hundred times before the start of summer.   But we're getting ahead of ourselves yet again.   The Jazz Singer began its life in 1917, when Samson Raphaelson, a twenty-three year old undergraduate at the University of Illinois, attended a performance of Robinson Crusoe, Jr., in Champaign, IL. The star of that show was thirty-year-old Al Jolson, a Russian-born Jew who had been a popular performer on Broadway stages for fifteen years by this point, regularly performing in blackface. After graduation, Raphaelson would become an advertising executive in New York City, but on the side, he would write stories. One short story, called “The Day of Atonement,” would be a thinly fictionalized account of Al Jolson's life. It would be published in Everybody's Magazine in January 1922.   At the encouragement of his secretary at the advertising firm, Raphaelson would adapted his story into a play, which would be produced on Broadway in September 1925 with a new title…   The Jazz Singer.   Ironically, for a Broadway show based on the early life of Al Jolson, Jolson was not a part of the production. The part of Jake Rabinowitz, the son of a cantor who finds success on Broadway with the Anglicized named Jack Robin, would be played by George Jessel. The play would be a minor hit, running for 303 performances on Broadway before closing in June 1926, and Warner Brothers would buy the movie rights the same week the show closed. George Jessel would be signed to play his stage role in the movie version. The film was scheduled to go into production in May 1927.   There are a number of reasons why Jessel would not end up making the movie. After the success of two Warner movies in 1926 using Vitaphone, a sound-on-disc system that could play music synchronized to a motion picture, Warner Brothers reconcieved The Jazz Singer as a sound movie, but not just a movie with music synchronized to the images on screen, but a “talkie,” where, for the first time for a motion picture, actual dialogue and vocal songs would be synchronized to the pictures on screen. When he learned about this development, Jessel demanded more money.    The Warner Brothers refused.   Then Jessel had some concerns about the solvency of the studio. These would be valid concerns, as Harry Warner, the eldest of the four eponymous brothers who ran the studio, had sold nearly $4m worth of his personal stock to keep the company afloat just a few months earlier.   But what ended up driving Jessel away was a major change screenwriter Alfred A. Cohen made when adapting the original story and the play into the screenplay. Instead of leaving the theatre and becoming a cantor like his father, as it was written for the stage, the movie would end with Jack Robin performing on Broadway in blackface while his mom cheers him on from one of the box seats.   With Jessel off the project, Warner would naturally turn to… Eddie Cantor. Like Al Jolson, Eddie Cantor was a Jew of Russian descent, although, unlike Jolson, he had been born in New York City. Like Jolson, he had been a star on Broadway for years, regularly performing in and writing songs for Florenz Ziegfeld' annual Follies shows. And like Jolson, Cantor would regularly appear on stage in blackface. But Cantor, a friend of Jessel's, instead offered to help the studio get Jessel back on the movie. The studio instead went to their third choice…   Al Jolson.   You know. The guy whose life inspired the darn story to begin with.   Many years later, film historian Robert Carringer would note that, in 1927, George Jessel was a vaudeville comedian with one successful play and one modestly successful movie to his credit, while Jolson was one of the biggest stars in America. In fact, when The Vitaphone Company was trying to convince American studios to try their sound-on-disc system for movies, they would hire Jolson in the fall of 1926 for a ten minute test film. It would be the success of the short film, titled A Plantation Act and featuring Jolson in blackface singing three songs, that would convince Warners to take a chance with The Jazz Singer as the first quote unquote talkie film.   I'll have a link to A Plantation Act on our website, The80sMoviePodcast.com, if you're interested in seeing it.   Al Jolson signed on to play the character inspired by himself for $75,000 in May 1927, the equivalent to $1.28m today. Filming would be pushed back to June 1927, in part due to Jolson still being on tour with another show until the end of the month. Warners would begin production on the film in New York City in late June, starting with second unit shots of the Lower East Side and The Winter Garden Theatre on Broadway, shooting as much as they could until Jolson arrived on set on July 11th.   Now, while the film has been regularly touted for nearly a century now as the first talking motion picture, the truth is, there's very little verbal dialogue in the film. The vast majority of dialogue in the movie was still handled with the traditional silent movie use of caption cards, and the very few scenes featuring what would be synchronized dialogue were saved for the end of production, due to the complexity of how those scenes would be captured. But the film would finish shooting in mid-September.   The $422k movie would have its world premiere at the Warner Brothers theatre in New York City not three weeks later, on October 6th, 1927, where the film would become a sensation. Sadly, none of the Warner Brothers would attend the premiere, as Sam Warner, the strongest advocate for Vitaphone at the studio, had died of pneumonia the night before the premiere, and his remaining brothers stayed in Los Angeles for the funeral. The reviews were outstanding, and the film would bring more than $2.5m in rental fees back to the studio.   At the first Academy Awards, held in May 1929 to honor the films released between August 1927 and July 1928, The Jazz Singer was deemed ineligible for the two highest awards, Outstanding Production, now known as Best Picture, and Unique and Artistic Production, which would only be awarded this one time, on the grounds that it would have been unfair to a sound picture compete against all the other silent films. Ironically, by the time the second Academy Awards were handed out, in April 1930, silent films would practically be a thing of the past. The success of The Jazz Singer had been that much a tectonic shift in the industry. The film would receive one Oscar nomination, for Alfred Cohn's screenplay adaptation, while the Warner Brothers would be given a special award for producing The Jazz Singer, the “pioneer outstanding talking picture which has revolutionized the industry,” as the inscription on the award read.   There would be a remake of The Jazz Singer produced in 1952, starring Danny Thomas as Korean War veteran who, thankfully, leaves the blackface in the past, and a one-hour television adaptation of the story in 1959, starring Jerry Lewis. And if that sounds strange to you, Jerry Lewis, at the height of his post-Lewis and Martin success, playing a man torn between his desire to be a successful performer and his shattered relationship with his cantor father… well, you can see it for yourself, if you desire, on the page for this episode on our website. It is as strange as it sounds.   At this point, we're going to fast forward a number of years in our story.   In the 1970s, Neil Diamond became one of the biggest musical stars in America. While he wanted to be a singer, Diamond would get his first big success in music in the 1960s as a songwriter, including writing two songs that would become big hits for The Monkees: I'm a Believer and A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You.   And really quickly, let me throw out a weird coincidence here… Bob Rafelson, the creator of The Monkees who would go on to produce and/or direct such films as Easy Rider and Five Easy Pieces, was the nephew of Samson Raphaelson, the man who wrote the original story on which The Jazz Singer is based.   Anyway, after finding success as a songwriter, Diamond would become a major singing star with hits like Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon, Sweet Caroline, and Song Sung Blue. And in another weird coincidence, by 1972, Neil Diamond would become the first performer since Al Jolson to stage a one-man show at the Winter Garden Theatre on Broadway.   By 1976, Neil Diamond is hosting specials on television, and one person who would see one of Diamond's television specials was a guy named Jerry Leider, an executive at Warner Brothers in charge of foreign feature production. Leider sees something in Diamond that just night be suited for the movies, not unlike Elvis Presley or Barbra Streisand, who in 1976 just happens to be the star of a remake of A Star Is Born for Warner Brothers that is cleaning up at the box office and at records stores nationwide. Leider is so convinced Neil Diamond has that X Factor, that unquantifiable thing that turns mere mortals into superstars, that Leider quits his job at Warners to start his own movie production company, wrestling the story rights to The Jazz Singer from Warner Brothers and United Artists, both of whom claimed ownership of the story, so he can make his own version with Diamond as the star.   So, naturally, a former Warners Brothers executive wanting to remake one of the most iconic movies in the Warner Brothers library is going to set it up at Warner Brothers, right?   Nope!   In the fall of 1977, Leider makes a deal with MGM to make the movie. Diamond signs on to play the lead, even before a script is written, and screenwriter Stephen H. Foreman is brought in to update the vaudeville-based original story into the modern day while incorporating Diamond's strengths as a songwriter to inform the story. But just before the film was set to shoot in September 1978, MGM would drop the movie, as some executives were worried the film would be perceived as being, and I am quoting Mr. Foreman here, “too Jewish.”   American Film Distribution, the American distribution arm of British production companies ITC and EMI, would pick the film up in turnaround, and set a May 1979 production start date. Sidney J. Furie, the Canadian filmmaker who had directed Diana Ross in Lady Sings the Blues, would be hired to direct, and Jacqueline Bisset was pursued to play the lead female role, but her agent priced their client out of the running. Deborah Raffin would be cast instead. And to help bring the kids in, the producers would sign Sir Laurence Olivier to play Diamond's father, Cantor Rabinovitch. Sir Larry would get a cool million dollars for ten weeks of work.   There would, as always is with the case of making movies, be setbacks that would further delay the start of production. First, Diamond would hurt his back at the end of 1978, and needed to go in for surgery in early January 1979. Although Diamond had already written and recorded all the music that was going to be used in the movie, AFD considered replacing Diamond with Barry Manilow, who had also never starred in a movie before, but they would stick with their original star.   After nearly a year of rest, Diamond was ready to begin, and cameras would roll on the $10m production on January 7th, 1980. And, as always is with the case of making movies, there would be more setbacks as soon as production began. Diamond, uniquely aware of just how little training he had as an actor, struggled to find his place on set, especially when working with an actor of Sir Laurence Olivier's stature. Director Furie, who was never satisfied with the screenplay, ordered writer Foreman to come up with new scenes that would help lessen the burden Diamond was placing on himself and the production. The writer would balk at almost every single suggestion, and eventually walked off the film.   Herbert Baker, an old school screenwriter who had worked on several of the Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis movies, was brought in to punch up the script, but he would end up completely rewriting the film, even though the movie had been in production for a few weeks. Baker and Furie would spend every moment the director wasn't actively working on set reworking the story, changing the Deborah Raffin character so much she would leave the production. Her friend Lucie Arnaz, the daughter of Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball, would take over the role, after Cher, Liza Minnelli and Donna Summer were considered.   Sensing an out of control production, Sir Lew Grade, the British media titan owner of AFD, decided a change was needed. He would shut the production down on March 3rd, 1980, and fire director Furie. While Baker continued to work on the script, Sir Grade would find a new director in Richard Fleischer, the journeyman filmmaker whose credits in the 1950s and 1960s included such films as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Compulsion, Fantastic Voyage and Doctor Doolittle, but had fallen out of favor with most studios after a string of flops. In fact, this would be the second film in a year where Fleischer was hired to replace another director during the middle of production, having replaced Richard C. Sarafian on the action-adventure film Ashanti in 1979.   With Fleischer aboard, production on The Jazz Singer would resume in late March, and there was an immediate noticeable difference on set. Where Furie and many members of the crew would regularly defer to Diamond due to his stature as an entertainer, letting the singer spiral out of control if things weren't working right, Fleischer would calm the actor down and help work him back into the scene. Except for one scene, set in a recording studio, where Diamond's character needed to explode into anger. After a few takes that didn't go as well as he hoped, Diamond went into the recording booth where his movie band was stationed while Fleischer was resetting the shot, when the director noticed Diamond working himself into a rage. The director called “action,” and Diamond nailed the take as needed. When the director asked Diamond how he got to that moment, the singer said he was frustrated with himself that he wasn't hitting the scene right, and asked the band to play something that would make him angry. The band obliged.    What did they play?   A Barry Manilow song.   Despite the recasting of the leading female role, a change of director and a number of rewrites by two different writers during the production, the film was able to finish shooting at the end of April with only $3m added to the budget.   Associated Film would set a December 19th, 1980 release date for the film, while Capitol Records, owned at the time by EMI, would release the first single from the soundtrack, a soft-rock ballad called Love on the Rocks, in October, with the full soundtrack album arriving in stores a month later.   As expected for a new Neil Diamond song, Love on the Rocks was an immediate hit, climbing the charts all the way to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100.   Several days before the film opened in 241 theatres on December 19th, there was a huge, star-studded premiere at the Plitt Century Plaza Cinemas in Los Angeles. Peter Falk, Harvey Korman, Ed McMahon, Gregory Peck, Cesar Romero and Jon Voight were just a handful of the Hollywood community who came out to attend what was one of the biggest Hollywood premieres in years. That would seem to project a confidence in the movie from the distributor's standpoint.   Or so you'd think.   But as it turned out, The Jazz Singer was one of three movies Associated Film would release that day. Along with The Jazz Singer, they would release the British mystery film The Mirror Crack'd starring Angela Lansbury and Elizabeth Taylor, and the Richard Donner drama Inside Moves. Of the three movies, The Jazz Singer would gross the most that weekend, pulling in a modest $1.167m, versus The Mirror Crack'd's $608k from 340 screens, and Inside Moves's $201k from 67 screens.   But compared to Clint Eastwood's Any Which Way You Can, the Richard Pryor/Gene Wilder comedy Stir Crazy, and Dolly Parton/Lily Tomlin/Jane Fonda comedy 9 to 5, it wasn't the best opening they could hope for.   But the film would continue to play… well, if not exceptional, at least it would hold on to its intended audience for a while. Sensing the film needed some help, Capitol Records released a second single from the soundtrack, another power ballad called Hello Again, in January 1981, which would become yet another top ten hit for Diamond. A third single, the pro-immigration power-pop song America, would arrive in April 1981 and go to number eight on the charts, but by then, the film was out of theatres with a respectable $27.12m in tickets sold.   Contemporary reviews of the film were rather negative, especially towards Diamond as an actor. Roger Ebert noted in his review that there were so many things wrong in the film that the review was threatening to become a list of cinematic atrocities. His review buddy Gene Siskel did praise Lucie Arnaz's performance, while pointing out how out of touch the new story was with the immigrant story told by the original film. Many critics would also point out the cringe-worthy homage to the original film, where Diamond unnecessarily performs in blackface, as well as Olivier's overacting.   I recently watched the film for the first time since 1981, and it's not a great movie by any measurable metric. Diamond isn't as bad an actor as the reviews make him out to be, especially considering he's essentially playing an altered version of himself, a successful pop singer, and Lucie Arnaz is fairly good. The single best performance in the film comes from Caitlin Adams, playing Jess's wife Rivka, who, for me, is the emotional center of the film. And yes, Olivier really goes all-in on the scenery chewing. At times, it's truly painful to watch this great actor spin out of control.   There would be a few awards nominations for the film, including acting nominations for Diamond and Arnaz at the 1981 Golden Globes, and a Grammy nomination for Best Soundtrack Album, but most of its quote unquote awards would come from the atrocious Golden Raspberry organization, which would name Diamond the Worst Actor of the year and Olivier the Worst Supporting Actor during its first quote unquote ceremony, which was held in some guy's living room.   Ironically but not so surprisingly, while the film would be vaguely profitable for its producers, it would be the soundtrack to the movie that would bring in the lion's share of the profits. On top of three hit singles, the soundtrack album would sell more than five million copies just in the United States in 1980 and 1981, and would also go platinum in Canada, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. While he would earn less than half a million dollars from the film, Diamond's cut of the soundtrack would net him a dollar per unit sold, earning him more than ten times his salary as an actor.   And although I fancied myself a punk and new wave kid at the end of 1980, I bought the soundtrack to The Jazz Singer, ostensibly as a gift for my mom, who loved Neil Diamond, but I easily wore out the grooves of the album listening to it over and over again. Of the ten new songs he wrote for the soundtrack, there's a good two or three additional tracks that weren't released as singles, including a short little ragtime-inspired ditty called On the Robert E. Lee, but America is the one song from the soundtrack I am still drawn to today. It's a weirdly uplifting song with its rhythmic “today” chants that end the song that just makes me feel good despite its inherent cheesiness.   After The Jazz Singer, Neil Diamond would only appear as himself in a film. Lucie Arnaz would never quite have much of a career after the film, although she would work quote regularly in television during the 80s and 90s, including a short stint as the star of The Lucie Arnaz Show, which lasted six episodes in 1985 before being cancelled. Laurence Olivier would continue to play supporting roles in a series of not so great motion pictures and television movies and miniseries for several more years, until his passing in 1989. And director Richard Fleischer would make several bad movies, including Red Sonja and Million Dollar Mystery, until he retired from filmmaking in 1987.   As we noted in our February 2020 episode about AFD, the act of releasing three movies on the same day was a last, desperate move in order to pump some much needed capital into the company. And while The Jazz Singer would bring some money in, that wasn't enough to cover the losses from the other two movies released the same day, or several other underperforming films released earlier in the year such as the infamous Village People movie Can't Stop the Music and Raise the Titanic. Sir Lew Grade would close AFD down in early 1981, and sell several movies that were completed, in production or in pre-production to Universal Studios. Ironically, those movies might have saved the company had they been able to hang on a little longer, as they included such films as The Dark Crystal, Frances, On Golden Pond, Sophie's Choice and Tender Mercies.   Thank you for joining us.

Welcome to our first episode of the new year, which is also our first episode of Season 5. Thank you for continuing to join us on this amazing journey. On today's episode, we head back to Christmas of 1980, when pop music superstar Neil Diamond would be making his feature acting debut in a new version of The Jazz Singer. ----more---- EPISODE TRANSCRIPT From Los Angeles, California, the entertainment capital of the world, this is The 80s Movies Podcast. I am your host, Edward Havens. Thank you for listening today.   It's 2023, which means we are starting our fifth season. And for our first episode of this new season, we're going back to the end of 1980, to take a look back at what was supposed to be the launch of a new phase in the career of one of music's biggest stars. That musical star was Neil Diamond, and this would end up becoming his one and only attempt to act in a motion picture.   We're talking about The Jazz Singer.   As I have said time and time again, I don't really have a plan for this show. I talk about the movies and subjects I talk about often on a whim. I'll hear about something and I'll be reminded of something, and a few days later, I've got an episode researched, written, recorded, edited and out there in the world. As I was working on the previous episode, about The War of the Roses just before my trip to Thailand, I saw a video of Neil Diamond singing Sweet Caroline on opening night of A Beautiful Noise, a new Broadway musical about the life and music of Mr. Diamond. I hadn't noticed Diamond had stopped performing live five years earlier due to a diagnosis of Parkinson's, and it was very touching to watch a thousand people joyously singing along with the man.   But as I was watching that video, I was reminded of The Jazz Singer, a movie we previously covered very lightly three years ago as part of our episode on the distribution company Associated Film Distribution. I was reminded that I haven't seen the movie in over forty years, even though I remember rather enjoying it when it opened in theatres in December 1980. I think I saw it four or five times over the course of a month, and I even went out and bought the soundtrack album, which I easily listened to a hundred times before the start of summer.   But we're getting ahead of ourselves yet again.   The Jazz Singer began its life in 1917, when Samson Raphaelson, a twenty-three year old undergraduate at the University of Illinois, attended a performance of Robinson Crusoe, Jr., in Champaign, IL. The star of that show was thirty-year-old Al Jolson, a Russian-born Jew who had been a popular performer on Broadway stages for fifteen years by this point, regularly performing in blackface. After graduation, Raphaelson would become an advertising executive in New York City, but on the side, he would write stories. One short story, called “The Day of Atonement,” would be a thinly fictionalized account of Al Jolson's life. It would be published in Everybody's Magazine in January 1922.   At the encouragement of his secretary at the advertising firm, Raphaelson would adapted his story into a play, which would be produced on Broadway in September 1925 with a new title…   The Jazz Singer.   Ironically, for a Broadway show based on the early life of Al Jolson, Jolson was not a part of the production. The part of Jake Rabinowitz, the son of a cantor who finds success on Broadway with the Anglicized named Jack Robin, would be played by George Jessel. The play would be a minor hit, running for 303 performances on Broadway before closing in June 1926, and Warner Brothers would buy the movie rights the same week the show closed. George Jessel would be signed to play his stage role in the movie version. The film was scheduled to go into production in May 1927.   There are a number of reasons why Jessel would not end up making the movie. After the success of two Warner movies in 1926 using Vitaphone, a sound-on-disc system that could play music synchronized to a motion picture, Warner Brothers reconcieved The Jazz Singer as a sound movie, but not just a movie with music synchronized to the images on screen, but a “talkie,” where, for the first time for a motion picture, actual dialogue and vocal songs would be synchronized to the pictures on screen. When he learned about this development, Jessel demanded more money.    The Warner Brothers refused.   Then Jessel had some concerns about the solvency of the studio. These would be valid concerns, as Harry Warner, the eldest of the four eponymous brothers who ran the studio, had sold nearly $4m worth of his personal stock to keep the company afloat just a few months earlier.   But what ended up driving Jessel away was a major change screenwriter Alfred A. Cohen made when adapting the original story and the play into the screenplay. Instead of leaving the theatre and becoming a cantor like his father, as it was written for the stage, the movie would end with Jack Robin performing on Broadway in blackface while his mom cheers him on from one of the box seats.   With Jessel off the project, Warner would naturally turn to… Eddie Cantor. Like Al Jolson, Eddie Cantor was a Jew of Russian descent, although, unlike Jolson, he had been born in New York City. Like Jolson, he had been a star on Broadway for years, regularly performing in and writing songs for Florenz Ziegfeld' annual Follies shows. And like Jolson, Cantor would regularly appear on stage in blackface. But Cantor, a friend of Jessel's, instead offered to help the studio get Jessel back on the movie. The studio instead went to their third choice…   Al Jolson.   You know. The guy whose life inspired the darn story to begin with.   Many years later, film historian Robert Carringer would note that, in 1927, George Jessel was a vaudeville comedian with one successful play and one modestly successful movie to his credit, while Jolson was one of the biggest stars in America. In fact, when The Vitaphone Company was trying to convince American studios to try their sound-on-disc system for movies, they would hire Jolson in the fall of 1926 for a ten minute test film. It would be the success of the short film, titled A Plantation Act and featuring Jolson in blackface singing three songs, that would convince Warners to take a chance with The Jazz Singer as the first quote unquote talkie film.   I'll have a link to A Plantation Act on our website, The80sMoviePodcast.com, if you're interested in seeing it.   Al Jolson signed on to play the character inspired by himself for $75,000 in May 1927, the equivalent to $1.28m today. Filming would be pushed back to June 1927, in part due to Jolson still being on tour with another show until the end of the month. Warners would begin production on the film in New York City in late June, starting with second unit shots of the Lower East Side and The Winter Garden Theatre on Broadway, shooting as much as they could until Jolson arrived on set on July 11th.   Now, while the film has been regularly touted for nearly a century now as the first talking motion picture, the truth is, there's very little verbal dialogue in the film. The vast majority of dialogue in the movie was still handled with the traditional silent movie use of caption cards, and the very few scenes featuring what would be synchronized dialogue were saved for the end of production, due to the complexity of how those scenes would be captured. But the film would finish shooting in mid-September.   The $422k movie would have its world premiere at the Warner Brothers theatre in New York City not three weeks later, on October 6th, 1927, where the film would become a sensation. Sadly, none of the Warner Brothers would attend the premiere, as Sam Warner, the strongest advocate for Vitaphone at the studio, had died of pneumonia the night before the premiere, and his remaining brothers stayed in Los Angeles for the funeral. The reviews were outstanding, and the film would bring more than $2.5m in rental fees back to the studio.   At the first Academy Awards, held in May 1929 to honor the films released between August 1927 and July 1928, The Jazz Singer was deemed ineligible for the two highest awards, Outstanding Production, now known as Best Picture, and Unique and Artistic Production, which would only be awarded this one time, on the grounds that it would have been unfair to a sound picture compete against all the other silent films. Ironically, by the time the second Academy Awards were handed out, in April 1930, silent films would practically be a thing of the past. The success of The Jazz Singer had been that much a tectonic shift in the industry. The film would receive one Oscar nomination, for Alfred Cohn's screenplay adaptation, while the Warner Brothers would be given a special award for producing The Jazz Singer, the “pioneer outstanding talking picture which has revolutionized the industry,” as the inscription on the award read.   There would be a remake of The Jazz Singer produced in 1952, starring Danny Thomas as Korean War veteran who, thankfully, leaves the blackface in the past, and a one-hour television adaptation of the story in 1959, starring Jerry Lewis. And if that sounds strange to you, Jerry Lewis, at the height of his post-Lewis and Martin success, playing a man torn between his desire to be a successful performer and his shattered relationship with his cantor father… well, you can see it for yourself, if you desire, on the page for this episode on our website. It is as strange as it sounds.   At this point, we're going to fast forward a number of years in our story.   In the 1970s, Neil Diamond became one of the biggest musical stars in America. While he wanted to be a singer, Diamond would get his first big success in music in the 1960s as a songwriter, including writing two songs that would become big hits for The Monkees: I'm a Believer and A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You.   And really quickly, let me throw out a weird coincidence here… Bob Rafelson, the creator of The Monkees who would go on to produce and/or direct such films as Easy Rider and Five Easy Pieces, was the nephew of Samson Raphaelson, the man who wrote the original story on which The Jazz Singer is based.   Anyway, after finding success as a songwriter, Diamond would become a major singing star with hits like Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon, Sweet Caroline, and Song Sung Blue. And in another weird coincidence, by 1972, Neil Diamond would become the first performer since Al Jolson to stage a one-man show at the Winter Garden Theatre on Broadway.   By 1976, Neil Diamond is hosting specials on television, and one person who would see one of Diamond's television specials was a guy named Jerry Leider, an executive at Warner Brothers in charge of foreign feature production. Leider sees something in Diamond that just night be suited for the movies, not unlike Elvis Presley or Barbra Streisand, who in 1976 just happens to be the star of a remake of A Star Is Born for Warner Brothers that is cleaning up at the box office and at records stores nationwide. Leider is so convinced Neil Diamond has that X Factor, that unquantifiable thing that turns mere mortals into superstars, that Leider quits his job at Warners to start his own movie production company, wrestling the story rights to The Jazz Singer from Warner Brothers and United Artists, both of whom claimed ownership of the story, so he can make his own version with Diamond as the star.   So, naturally, a former Warners Brothers executive wanting to remake one of the most iconic movies in the Warner Brothers library is going to set it up at Warner Brothers, right?   Nope!   In the fall of 1977, Leider makes a deal with MGM to make the movie. Diamond signs on to play the lead, even before a script is written, and screenwriter Stephen H. Foreman is brought in to update the vaudeville-based original story into the modern day while incorporating Diamond's strengths as a songwriter to inform the story. But just before the film was set to shoot in September 1978, MGM would drop the movie, as some executives were worried the film would be perceived as being, and I am quoting Mr. Foreman here, “too Jewish.”   American Film Distribution, the American distribution arm of British production companies ITC and EMI, would pick the film up in turnaround, and set a May 1979 production start date. Sidney J. Furie, the Canadian filmmaker who had directed Diana Ross in Lady Sings the Blues, would be hired to direct, and Jacqueline Bisset was pursued to play the lead female role, but her agent priced their client out of the running. Deborah Raffin would be cast instead. And to help bring the kids in, the producers would sign Sir Laurence Olivier to play Diamond's father, Cantor Rabinovitch. Sir Larry would get a cool million dollars for ten weeks of work.   There would, as always is with the case of making movies, be setbacks that would further delay the start of production. First, Diamond would hurt his back at the end of 1978, and needed to go in for surgery in early January 1979. Although Diamond had already written and recorded all the music that was going to be used in the movie, AFD considered replacing Diamond with Barry Manilow, who had also never starred in a movie before, but they would stick with their original star.   After nearly a year of rest, Diamond was ready to begin, and cameras would roll on the $10m production on January 7th, 1980. And, as always is with the case of making movies, there would be more setbacks as soon as production began. Diamond, uniquely aware of just how little training he had as an actor, struggled to find his place on set, especially when working with an actor of Sir Laurence Olivier's stature. Director Furie, who was never satisfied with the screenplay, ordered writer Foreman to come up with new scenes that would help lessen the burden Diamond was placing on himself and the production. The writer would balk at almost every single suggestion, and eventually walked off the film.   Herbert Baker, an old school screenwriter who had worked on several of the Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis movies, was brought in to punch up the script, but he would end up completely rewriting the film, even though the movie had been in production for a few weeks. Baker and Furie would spend every moment the director wasn't actively working on set reworking the story, changing the Deborah Raffin character so much she would leave the production. Her friend Lucie Arnaz, the daughter of Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball, would take over the role, after Cher, Liza Minnelli and Donna Summer were considered.   Sensing an out of control production, Sir Lew Grade, the British media titan owner of AFD, decided a change was needed. He would shut the production down on March 3rd, 1980, and fire director Furie. While Baker continued to work on the script, Sir Grade would find a new director in Richard Fleischer, the journeyman filmmaker whose credits in the 1950s and 1960s included such films as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Compulsion, Fantastic Voyage and Doctor Doolittle, but had fallen out of favor with most studios after a string of flops. In fact, this would be the second film in a year where Fleischer was hired to replace another director during the middle of production, having replaced Richard C. Sarafian on the action-adventure film Ashanti in 1979.   With Fleischer aboard, production on The Jazz Singer would resume in late March, and there was an immediate noticeable difference on set. Where Furie and many members of the crew would regularly defer to Diamond due to his stature as an entertainer, letting the singer spiral out of control if things weren't working right, Fleischer would calm the actor down and help work him back into the scene. Except for one scene, set in a recording studio, where Diamond's character needed to explode into anger.

It stars Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman, and Milla Jovovich. Primarily set in the 23rd century, the film's central plot involves the survival of planet Earth, which becomes the responsibility of Korben Dallas (Willis), a taxicab driver and former special forces major, after a young woman (Jovovich) falls into his cab. To accomplish this, Dallas joins forces with her to recover four mystical stones essential for the defence of Earth against the impending attack of a malevolent cosmic entity.  Besson started writing the story that was developed as The Fifth Element when he was 16 years old; he was 38 when the film opened in cinemas. Besson wanted to shoot the film in France, but suitable facilities could not be found; filming took place in London and Mauritania instead. He hired comic artists Jean "Moebius" Giraud and Jean-Claude Mézières, whose books inspired parts of the film, for production design. Costume design was by Jean-Paul Gaultier.  The Fifth Element received mainly positive reviews, although some critics were highly negative. The film won in categories at the British Academy Film Awards, the César Awards, the Cannes Film Festival, and the Lumières Awards, but also received nominations at the Golden Raspberry and Stinkers Bad Movie Awards. The Fifth Element was a strong financial success, earning more than US$263 million at the box office on a $90 million budget. At the time of its release, it was the most expensive European film ever made, and it remained the highest-grossing French film at the international box office until the release of The Intouchables in 2011.

The movie that almost made Jordan quit the show! That's right, we're talking 2003's Radio. A Golden Raspberry nominee and somehow 2X NAACP Image Award winner. We're joined by the wonderful Kara Berry of the Everyone's Business (But Mine) podcast to discuss...whatever this was.  We get into everything going on with Cuba, on and off screen, if Radio was turned into a mascot, and the real life story James Robert Kennedy (the man had a name).

We return from break and return to form with 1986's Howard The Duck, co-winner of the 7th Golden Raspberry for Worst Picture. We couldn't pass up the chance to tackle what will inevitably become the 1st movie in the MCU now that Spider-Man: No Way Home opened the multiverse door. We test Joe's knowledge of noir slang, delve into Howard's comic origins, address a problematic elephant in the room, and we talk entirely too much about duck nipples (which just shouldn't be a thing). Learn entirely too much about a comic book duck-person and see how Jack fixes this surprisingly fun Razzie-winner. Does Jack's fix do Howard justice? Let us know at derazzledpodcast@gmail.com!

We hope you enjoy this special bonus episode as we wade through the thick sludge of Golden Raspberry nominated movies from the 1991 slate. Vanilla Ice finds love and fights gangsters. Bruce Willis gets to the DaVinci code before Tom Hanks. Andrew Dice Clay is a terrible person. A too-young Milla Jovovich lounges around a deserted island. And don't ever ask me to go over to Dan Aykroyd's house for dinner. It's the 12th annual Golden Raspberry Worst Picture nominees!

In their Season 2 premiere, cohosts Dino and Mike delve back into Friedkin territory with I Eat Movies #14: Billy Flops - Deal of the Century (1983) / Jade (1995). Exploring two of his undermentioned and critically maligned pictures, the fellas explore how a political satire led by the comedic force of Chevy Chase and accompanied by the likes of Sigourney Weaver and Gregory Hines misfired like a B-29 bomber. In addition, although beloved by the filmmaker himself, Friedkin's attempts to get frisky with erotic thrills and twists that do little to tantalize and resulted in a pair of Golden Raspberry nominations for its troubles is also discussed. Whether you asked for it or not, I Eat Movies is back!

Austin, from the podcast, I Hate Your Taste In Movies, is our guest to talk about the 1982 John Huston musical, Annie, which boasted hit songs such as "Tomorrow" and "A Hard Knock Life" as well as a loaded cast including Albert Finney, Carol Burnett, Bernadette Peters, and Tim Curry. We talk about the negative critical reception that film initially received, including a Golden Raspberry nomination for star Aileen Quinn as worst actress. We touch on many of the different iterations of Annie over the years, including the Broadway musical that preceded the film, and we trace Jay-Z's sample of "A Hard Knock Life" to his role as a producer of the 2014 version of Annie. Austin talks about how the 1999 film seemed to be the version of choice amongst her peers in school and I share about an educational film I watched in school starring Aileen Quinn.

The Oscar's. The BAFTA's. The Smash Hits Poll Winners Party. You've heard of them, you've watched them, and in 2 hours or so you'll come to the realisation that they've got absolutely nothing on the red carpet event of the season. Welcome, one and all, to the inaugural Dogger Saints Podcast Player of the Season Awards! What a season it's been, so Sam and Dan felt it only appropriate to celebrate in style, with a gala Zoom event in which we reflect on a glorious 2020/21 season for the Perth Saints, and dole out some (possibly) coveted gongs. We have our very own Golden Raspberry in the form of the Media Comment of the Season, give our own little weekly nonsense some chutzpah with the Podcast Guest of the Season, before moving on to recognise those stellar Saintees with Moment of the Season and Goal of the Season. But we couldn't do this alone, so have enlisted the help of some friends* in The View's Kyle Falconer, actor Stephen Purdon - alias Shell Suit Bob of River City, Jean Johansson of A Place in The Sun and TalkSport and Sky Sports Darts' very own Laura Woods to give us a helping hand in announcing the winners of the awards which you lovely lot have been so kind to vote for. Even with all this we somehow have room for more, with our main event seeing us announce the inaugural winner of the Fred McKerchar Memorial Trophy for the Dogger Saints Podcast Player of the Year...and we're even lucky enough to bring you an interview, as we catch up with the winner of the award that all the kids are calling the Ballon D'og. An absolute joy of an episode, as we celebrate an unforgettable season and recognise those that gave us memories to last a lifetime. Get there! *for legal purposes, we need to point out these are not actually our friends. Neither Sam nor Dan actually have any other friends.

If you're feeling generous you could call today's episode a mash-up, or more accurately, the remnants of a couple of different music related ideas that never quite gelled into a full episode. It was resurfaced recently in the morass of my mind by the sad passing of rap-man DMX, rendering him unable to deliver to ya. Alternate delivery services must now be sought. He was also the poster child of an idea for covering films where the soundtrack is significantly better than the film it came from, but seeing as that is perhaps limited entirely to _Cradle 2 the Grave_, perhaps that's best left to a Jet Li retrospective. But it also brings to mind the crossover between musicians and actors, going back arguably to the dawn of "Talkies", through the Rat Pack, The Beatles and Elvis up to modern times, leveraging their celebrity in one field for success in another. That's a bit vague, though, but it does lead to the rat hole of musician's vanity projects, also recently brought to mind by the opprobrium levelled at Sia's Golden Raspberry winning film _Music_. There's a little of the spirit of that in this selection of films, and the other primary thrust here is films where the artists life and career reflect in the film that they are in. A shorter, but no less coherent introduction might simply have been to say "here's a bunch of music related films", but, gentle reader, I have no respect for your time. So tune in for our reviews of A Hard Day’s Night, Pink Floyd: The Wall, Purple Rain, Moonwalker, Honest, and 8 Mile.

If you enjoyed Flowers in the Attic, do we have a disappointing episode for you! This week Blair flees a bitchy Brit named Camilla (sounds familiar) for the safety of a 9 to 5, Serena competes with Paris Hilton for a Golden Raspberry, and Nate is on location for Townies Gone Wild. Plus, we've got a yoga sex cult and the return of our least favorite director (so far). Will we finally get some representation and diversity? No! (but you knew that already).

Today on "Words On Film", Dan Burke reveals the 2021 Academy Award nominees and the Golden Raspberry nominees.  It's the best and worst of 2020, and Mr. Burke saves the worst for last.

This week on End Credits, we go on the run! Even though it's St. Patrick's Day, there's no party you can go to, so why not stay in, watch a movie, and listen to us talk about it? This week, the movie is I'm Your Woman, which is now streamable on Amazon Prime, and we will also make room to celebrate another matter, the Academy Award nominations. This Wednesday, March 17, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Gold Rushes. They were a little late, but the nominations for the Academy Awards were announced this week, and they were certainly historic. Two directors of Asian decent were nominated for Best Director, and so were two women, and those are just a few of the historic firsts in this year's nods, which we'll run down this week along with their opposites, the Golden Raspberry nominations. REVIEW: I'm Your Woman (2020). Rachel Brosnahan is well known as the star of Amazon Prime's acclaimed comedy series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, but there's nothing funny about I'm Your Woman. The 1970s-set crime drama features Brosnahan as a wife and mother on the run and in hiding after her criminal husband starts a mob war, but can a bored house wife take back her agency and control her own destiny with a baby in one hand and a gun in the other? Let's tune in and find out. End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

Today on "Words On Film", Dan Burke reviews: "Yes Day" "Coming 2 America" "The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge On The Run" "Bombay Rose" Mr. Burke also runs down some of the nominations for the Golden Raspberry, or Razzie, Awards.

Did you know that there is an award called "The Golden Raspberry" also known as "the Razzies" or "Razzie awards" which is a 'parody' award show with awards for the worst movie and actors of the year. To date, Sylvester Stallone and Madonna have received the most number of awards in this show! But is an award really about winning or losing? The first step towards success could very well be art of accepting your flaws and not being a sore loser. Halle Berry even formally accepted the award once! Let us learn the art of graciously losing and still coming out a winner, in this week on #TheHabitCoach.Tune in to #TheHabitCoach with Ashdin Doctor for more!You can follow Ashdin Doctor on Instagram @ashdindoc (https://www.instagram.com/ashdindoc/?hl=en)Check out Ashdin's website - Awesome180 (http://awesome180.com/)Youtube Channel - The Habit Coach - Awesome180 (The Habit Coach - Awesome180)You can listen to this show and other awesome shows on the IVM Podcasts app on Android: https://ivm.today/android or iOS: https://ivm.today/ios, or any other podcast app.

In the 1990s Tim was lucky enough to win three Best Song Oscars, each with a different composer. He explains how this curious state of affairs came to happen and plays the three winning numbers. He also confesses that he was once nominated for a Golden Raspberry in the worst film song category. Mercifully he did not win that one. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ideal Para Llevarte O Regalar Productos Del Podcats De Ivoox. (Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Paul Bruce Dickinson (Worksop, Nottinghamshire, 7 de agosto de 1958), más conocido como Bruce Dickinson, es un cantante, productor musical, esgrimista, empresario , escritor, historiador y piloto de aviación británico. Es famoso por ser el vocalista, frontman y co-compositor de la banda de heavy metal Iron Maiden. Es considerado por muchos expertos de canto, medios y el público en general como uno de los mejores cantantes de la historia de este género. También posee un nivel intermedio de interpretación en guitarra, mostrado principalmente en su carrera en solitario. Nacido en Worksop, Nottinghamshire, Bruce Dickinson comenzó su carrera musical en pequeñas bandas en la década de 1970, mientras asistía a la escuela en Sheffield y a la universidad en Londres. En 1979 se unió a la agrupación Samson, con la que logró cierta popularidad bajo el nombre artístico de "Bruce Bruce". Tras grabar dos discos de estudio dejó la banda en 1981 para unirse a Iron Maiden, reemplazando al cantante Paul Di'Anno. Durante su primera etapa en Iron Maiden grabó una serie de exitosos álbumes que se convirtieron en discos de platino y oro en los Estados Unidos y el Reino Unido en la década de 1980. Dickinson abandonó Iron Maiden en 1993 (siendo reemplazado por Blaze Bayley) para seguir una carrera como solista, lo que le permitió experimentar con una amplia variedad de estilos entre el heavy metal y el hard rock. Se reincorporó a la banda en 1999 junto con el guitarrista Adrian Smith. Tras su regreso a Iron Maiden grabó un nuevo disco en solitario en 2005, Tyranny of Souls. Su primo Rob Dickinson fue el vocalista de la banda británica de rock alternativo Catherine Wheel, mientras que su hijo, Austin, lideró la banda de metalcore Rise to Remain. Aparte de su carrera en la música, Dickinson ha llevado a cabo otro tipo de actividades. Emprendió una carrera como piloto comercial para la aerolínea Astraeus Airlines. Tras el cierre de Astraeus, creó su propia empresa de mantenimiento de aviones y capacitación de pilotos en 2012, Cardiff Aviation. Dickinson presentó su propio programa de radio en la emisora BBC Radio 6 Music de 2002 a 2010 y también ha presentado documentales de televisión, ha escrito novelas y guiones cinematográficos, creó una exitosa cerveza con Robinsons Brewery y compitió como esgrimista a nivel internacional. Dickinson audicionó para Iron Maiden en una sala de ensayos en Hackney en septiembre de 1981. Allí descubrió que la banda tenía un nivel de profesionalismo superior al de su anterior grupo, Samson, En la sala de ensayos, la banda tocó las canciones "Prowler", "Sanctuary", "Running Free" y "Remember Tomorrow", antes de pedirle a Dickinson que cantara las mismas canciones en un estudio de grabación, Iron Maiden tenía una rutina estricta y organizada que se adaptaba al estilo de composición de la banda, algo que Dickinson describió como "la tabla de tiempo" Después de brindar algunos conciertos, la agrupación comenzó a componer nuevo material para su tercer álbum de estudio, The Number of the Beast, publicado en 1982. A raíz de los problemas contractuales de Samson, Dickinson no pudo ser acreditado legalmente en ninguna de las canciones del disco, limitándose a hacer lo que él mismo llamó como "contribuciones morales", revelando años después que contribuyó en alguna medida en la composición de las canciones "The Prisoner", "Children of the Damned" y "Run to the Hills" ​ El álbum fue un éxito y encabezó las listas británicas, ​ logrando la certificación de disco de platino en el Reino Unido y en los Estados Unidos, ​ Tras su lanzamiento, la banda se embarcó en la gira internacional The Beast on the Road para promocionar el disco. En los siguientes álbumes, Piece of Mind de 1983 y Powerslave de 1984, el monopolio compositivo de Steve Harris fue dejado de lado para incorporar las ideas de los demás miembros de la banda. Dickinson contribuyó con la composición de algunas canciones como los sencillos "Flight of Icarus" y "2 Minutes to Midnight" Durante la multitudinaria gira World Slavery Tour, como parte de los nuevos elementos teatrales incorporados en el escenario de la banda, Bruce usó una máscara con plumas durante la interpretación de la canción "Powerslave". Según sus propias declaraciones, compró dicha máscara en una tienda de artículos sexuales, La gira fue tan larga y desgastante que Dickinson llegó a considerar abandonar el proyecto cuando el tour se encontraba a mitad de camino, ​ La gerencia de Iron Maiden añadía fechas a la gira constantemente hasta que Dickinson amenazó con dejar la banda si continuaban haciéndolo, Al finalizar la gira, la banda se tomó seis meses de descanso, tiempo que Bruce aprovechó para practicar esgrima, ​ Iron Maiden comenzó a escribir material para su siguiente álbum, Somewhere in Time. Dickinson estaba decepcionado ya que sentía que la banda requería en ese momento de un estilo más acústico para seguir siendo relevante, a pesar de que se introdujeron sintetizadores en la grabación del disco. No tuvo créditos de composición en el álbum, ya que su material fue rechazado por el resto de la banda,​ Steve Harris declaró que esto ocurrió porque sus composiciones no eran lo suficientemente buenas, pues Dickinson "probablemente era el más afectado tras finalizar la gira World Slavery Tour" Tras la gira promocional de Somewhere in Time, Iron Maiden empezó a trabajar en su siguiente álbum de estudio, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, disco más experimental que sus anteriores trabajos y con algunos elementos de rock progresivo. Aunque se convirtió en el segundo álbum de Iron Maiden en encabezar las listas de éxitos británicas, ​ fue el primer álbum con Dickinson como cantante que no alcanzó la certificación de platino en los Estados Unidos, ​ A diferencia de Somewhere in Time, Dickinson se mostró más entusiasmado con el álbum y aportó créditos de composición, Después de finalizar la gira promocional del disco en 1988, el grupo decidió tomarse un año de descanso. Durante la etapa de composición del siguiente álbum, el guitarrista Adrian Smith dejó la banda y fue reemplazado por Janick Gers. El octavo álbum de estudio de Iron Maiden, No Prayer for the Dying de 1990, representó un cambio significativo en el sonido de la banda, abandonando la experimentación a favor de un heavy metal más convencional y comercial. Bruce cambió su forma de cantar, adoptando una voz más áspera, ​ El disco fue grabado en un rancho de propiedad de Steve Harris con el estudio móvil de The Rolling Stones. ​ La canción "Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter", compuesta originalmente por Dickinson para la banda sonora de la película de terror estadounidense A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child, se convirtió en el único sencillo de Iron Maiden en encabezar la lista de éxitos UK Singles Chart, pese a recibir un premio Golden Raspberry en la categoría de peor canción original en 1989, En 1992, Harris había convertido su rancho en un estudio de grabación y allí fue grabado Fear of the Dark, el nuevo álbum de estudio de la banda,Luego de la gira mundial Fear of the Dark Tour, Dickinson decidió dejar Iron Maiden para enfocarse en su carrera como solista. En ese momento la banda había agendado otra gira mundial en 1993, de la cual Bruce no disfrutó. A lo largo de la misma, Dickinson recibió muchas críticas de sus compañeros de banda. Steve Harris llegó a afirmar que en ese momento quería matarlo, pues según él, Dickinson solamente se esforzaba cuando la prensa se encontraba en el evento, ​ de lo contrario simplemente mascullaba las canciones arriba del escenario. Bruce ha negado estas acusaciones, argumentando que le era imposible brindar un rendimiento decente algunas noches debido a la mala atmósfera existente entre él y sus compañeros, Su última presentación con la banda fue filmada por la BBC en los estudios Pinewood y publicada en vídeo con el título Raising Hell, con la incorporación del ilusionista Simon Drake animando el espectáculo. Junto con Adrian Smith, Dickinson regresó a Iron Maiden en 1999 después de sostener una conversación con Rod Smallwood. ​ Smallwood le mencionó la posibilidad del retorno de Bruce a Steve Harris, pero el bajista inicialmente mostró algunas reservas al respecto, algo que cambió con el paso del tiempo, Harris y Dickinson se reunieron en la casa de Smallwood en Brighton en enero de 1999 para dialogar, algo que no ocurría entre ambos músicos desde 1993. ​ Aunque se encontraban nerviosos por el encuentro, al verse cara a cara la tensión se disipó de inmediato y ambos acordaron que Dickinson debía regresar al grupo, Después de embarcarse en la gira promocional del álbum recopilatorio Ed Hunter, la banda ingresó al estudio para grabar el disco Brave New World, primer álbum con Dickinson desde 1992. Bruce insistió en que la agrupación debía buscar un nuevo productor en reemplazo de Martin Birch y grabar en un estudio diferente al que se utilizó para la grabación de No Prayer for the Dying y Fear of the Dark, algo que Harris aceptó. Finalmente el disco fue grabado en los estudios Guillaume Tell en París con el productor Kevin "The Caveman" Shirley, finalizando en el popular festival Rock in Rio ante unas 250000 personas. En 2003 la banda grabó el álbum Dance of Death en los estudios SARM de Londres, nuevamente con Kevin Shirley como productor, Después de salir de gira Iron Maiden regresó a SARM en 2006 para grabar el álbum A Matter of Life and Death, ​ para luego embarcarse en un tour a nivel mundial. Entre 2008 y 2009 la banda llevó a cabo la gira Somewhere Back In Time World Tour, ​ en la que Bruce piloteó un Boeing 757 bautizado Ed Force One. Fue realizado un entensivo documental sobre la gira titulado Iron Maiden: Flight 666, que tuvo un estreno limitado en cines en 2009. Iron Maiden volvió a salir de gira en 2010 para promocionar un nuevo disco, llamado The Final Frontier, y grabado en Nassau. En septiembre de 2014 Iron Maiden empezó la grabación de su álbum de estudio número 16, The Book of Souls, en los estudios Guillaume Tell en París, ​ El álbum contiene dos canciones escritas en su totalidad por Dickinson, "If Eternity Should Fail" y "Empire of the Clouds", ​ la primera de ellas escrita para un posible álbum como solista, "Empire of the Clouds", de casi 18 minutos de duración, ​ se convirtió en la canción más larga en toda la discografía de Iron Maiden y presenta a Bruce Dickinson tocando el piano por primera vez en una grabación de la banda, Hubo una nueva gira en 2016, con Dickinson piloteando nuevamente el avión de la agrupación. En el marco de la gira Eddie Rips Up the World Tour en 2005, Iron Maiden se presentó en el festival estadounidense Ozzfest junto a Black Sabbath como cabeza de cartel. Sharon, la esposa y representante del cantante Ozzy Osbourne, incitó a algunos amigos de su familia y miembros de otras bandas a sabotear la última presentación de Iron Maiden en el Anfiteatro San Manuel en San Bernardino, California el 20 de agosto, ​ en un ataque que fue descrito por Rod Smallwood como "vil, peligroso, criminal y cobarde, un irrespeto a los fanáticos que pagaron una entrada para ver a su banda tocar un concierto completo". ​ Sharon ordenó que el sonido de la banda fuera cortado, retrasó la entrada de la mascota Eddie the Head , ​ y alentó a los seguidores de su familia a arrojar huevos, tapas de botellas y encendedores desde la audiencia, De acuerdo a Dickinson, este ataque fue la respuesta a unas declaraciones dadas por el músico en las que criticaba los programas de telerrealidad, algo que, según él, Sharon Osbourne tomó de manera personal. ​ Sin embargo, el diario The Guardian informó que Dickinson se había referido de mala manera al programa The Osbournes y había hecho mofa del uso del teleprompter en los conciertos de Ozzy Osbourne.76​ Dickinson ha negado haber hecho comentarios contra Ozzy Osbourne y Black Sabbath, pero admitió sus críticas hacia la organización del Ozzfest, asegurando que muchas de las bandas que participaban del festival habían pagado para poder estar allí. Después del fallido concierto en San Bernardino, Sharon lanzó una declaración adicional donde acusaba a Dickinson de hacer varios comentarios en contra de los Estados Unidos, ​ de los que no se presentó ninguna evidencia. Adicionalmente, Osbourne afirmó que la bandera británica exhibida por Dickinson durante la canción "The Trooper" era una falta de respeto con las tropas estadounidenses , ​ que en ese momento se encontraban peleando junto al ejército británico en la Guerra de Irak. Sharon también afirmó que Steve Harris le había presentado disculpas a su esposo Ozzy en San Bernardino por los comentarios de Dickinson, algo que Harris negó tiempo después, asegurando que sus palabras fueron tergiversadas.

Bruce cambió su forma de cantar, adoptando una voz más áspera, ​ El disco fue grabado en un rancho de propiedad de Steve Harris con el estudio móvil de The Rolling Stones. ​ La canción "Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter", compuesta originalmente por Dickinson para la banda sonora de la película de terror estadounidense A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child, se convirtió en el único sencillo de Iron Maiden en encabezar la lista de éxitos UK Singles Chart, pese a recibir un premio Golden Raspberry en la categoría de peor canción original en 1989, En 1992, Harris había convertido su rancho en un estudio de grabación y allí fue grabado Fear of the Dark, el nuevo álbum de estudio de la banda,Luego de la gira mundial Fear of the Dark Tour, Dickinson decidió dejar Iron Maiden para enfocarse en su carrera como solista. En ese momento la banda había agendado otra gira mundial en 1993, de la cual Bruce no disfrutó. A lo largo de la misma, Dickinson recibió muchas críticas de sus compañeros de banda. Steve Harris llegó a afirmar que en ese momento quería matarlo, pues según él, Dickinson solamente se esforzaba cuando la prensa se encontraba en el evento, ​ de lo contrario simplemente mascullaba las canciones arriba del escenario. Bruce ha negado estas acusaciones, argumentando que le era imposible brindar un rendimiento decente algunas noches debido a la mala atmósfera existente entre él y sus compañeros, Su última presentación con la banda fue filmada por la BBC en los estudios Pinewood y publicada en vídeo con el título Raising Hell, con la incorporación del ilusionista Simon Drake animando el espectáculo. Junto con Adrian Smith, Dickinson regresó a Iron Maiden en 1999 después de sostener una conversación con Rod Smallwood. ​ Smallwood le mencionó la posibilidad del retorno de Bruce a Steve Harris, pero el bajista inicialmente mostró algunas reservas al respecto, algo que cambió con el paso del tiempo, Harris y Dickinson se reunieron en la casa de Smallwood en Brighton en enero de 1999 para dialogar, algo que no ocurría entre ambos músicos desde 1993. ​ Aunque se encontraban nerviosos por el encuentro, al verse cara a cara la tensión se disipó de inmediato y ambos acordaron que Dickinson debía regresar al grupo, Después de embarcarse en la gira promocional del álbum recopilatorio Ed Hunter, la banda ingresó al estudio para grabar el disco Brave New World, primer álbum con Dickinson desde 1992. Bruce insistió en que la agrupación debía buscar un nuevo productor en reemplazo de Martin Birch y grabar en un estudio diferente al que se utilizó para la grabación de No Prayer for the Dying y Fear of the Dark, algo que Harris aceptó. Finalmente el disco fue grabado en los estudios Guillaume Tell en París con el productor Kevin "The Caveman" Shirley, finalizando en el popular festival Rock in Rio ante unas 250000 personas. En 2003 la banda grabó el álbum Dance of Death en los estudios SARM de Londres, nuevamente con Kevin Shirley como productor, Después de salir de gira Iron Maiden regresó a SARM en 2006 para grabar el álbum A Matter of Life and Death, ​ para luego embarcarse en un tour a nivel mundial. Entre 2008 y 2009 la banda llevó a cabo la gira Somewhere Back In Time World Tour, ​ en la que Bruce piloteó un Boeing 757 bautizado Ed Force One. Fue realizado un entensivo documental sobre la gira titulado Iron Maiden: Flight 666, que tuvo un estreno limitado en cines en 2009. Iron Maiden volvió a salir de gira en 2010 para promocionar un nuevo disco, llamado The Final Frontier, y grabado en Nassau. En septiembre de 2014 Iron Maiden empezó la grabación de su álbum de estudio número 16, The Book of Souls, en los estudios Guillaume Tell en París, ​ El álbum contiene dos canciones escritas en su totalidad por Dickinson, "If Eternity Should Fail" y "Empire of the Clouds", ​ la primera de ellas escrita para un posible álbum como solista, "Empire of the Clouds", de casi 18 minutos de duración, ​ se convirtió en la canción más larga en toda la discografía de Iron Maiden y presenta a Bruce Dickinson tocando el piano por primera vez en una grabación de la banda, Hubo una nueva gira en 2016, con Dickinson piloteando nuevamente el avión de la agrupación. En el marco de la gira Eddie Rips Up the World Tour en 2005, Iron Maiden se presentó en el festival estadounidense Ozzfest junto a Black Sabbath como cabeza de cartel. Sharon, la esposa y representante del cantante Ozzy Osbourne, incitó a algunos amigos de su familia y miembros de otras bandas a sabotear la última presentación de Iron Maiden en el Anfiteatro San Manuel en San Bernardino, California el 20 de agosto, ​ en un ataque que fue descrito por Rod Smallwood como "vil, peligroso, criminal y cobarde, un irrespeto a los fanáticos que pagaron una entrada para ver a su banda tocar un concierto completo". ​ Sharon ordenó que el sonido de la banda fuera cortado, retrasó la entrada de la mascota Eddie the Head , ​ y alentó a los seguidores de su familia a arrojar huevos, tapas de botellas y encendedores desde la audiencia, De acuerdo a Dickinson, este ataque fue la respuesta a unas declaraciones dadas por el músico en las que criticaba los programas de telerrealidad, algo que, según él, Sharon Osbourne tomó de manera personal. ​ Sin embargo, el diario The Guardian informó que Dickinson se había referido de mala manera al programa The Osbournes y había hecho mofa del uso del teleprompter en los conciertos de Ozzy Osbourne.76​ Dickinson ha negado haber hecho comentarios contra Ozzy Osbourne y Black Sabbath, pero admitió sus críticas hacia la organización del Ozzfest, asegurando que muchas de las bandas que participaban del festival habían pagado para poder estar allí. Después del fallido concierto en San Bernardino, Sharon lanzó una declaración adicional donde acusaba a Dickinson de hacer varios comentarios en contra de los Estados Unidos, ​ de los que no se presentó ninguna evidencia. Adicionalmente, Osbourne afirmó que la bandera británica exhibida por Dickinson durante la canción "The Trooper" era una falta de respeto con las tropas estadounidenses , ​ que en ese momento se encontraban peleando junto al ejército británico en la Guerra de Irak. Sharon también afirmó que Steve Harris le había presentado disculpas a su esposo Ozzy en San Bernardino por los comentarios de Dickinson, algo que Harris negó tiempo después, asegurando que sus palabras fueron tergiversadas.

WARNING: In honor of this being the worst movie of the year we produced easily our worst podcast to date. We experienced feedback and buzzing throughout the episode, and though we would love to blame it on our producer Kyle it seems to be just a temporary equipment malfunction. So if you make it through the episode, email us and we'll send you bitcoins. REAL BITCOINS!  Fire emoji, is not the emoji we would use to describe this movie. The "winner" of The Golden Raspberry, The Emoji Movie is perhaps not actually the worst film of last year, but it definitely isn't the best. Nick, Stephen and special/default guest/producer Kyle go in depth on a movie about using pictures to talk. Give it a listen, or not, we don't give a [poop emoji].
