Robert Duvall Passed Away at 95, and it Seems too Soon This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl honor the legendary Robert Duvall, break down the latest Warner Bros. Discovery and Skydance merger talks, and review the penultimate episode of HBO's A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Corporate power plays and Westerosi lances collide. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Robert Duvall: 3:51 Warner Bros/Skydance: 9:07 A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: 23:43 Robert Duvall January 5, 1931 – February 15, 2026 Robert Duvall was one of the defining American actors of the modern era. A founding member of the American Film Theatre movement and a classmate of Dustin Hoffman and Gene Hackman at the Neighborhood Playhouse, Duvall built a career on discipline, restraint, and volcanic presence. Career Highlights: Tom Hagen in The Godfather (1972) and The Godfather Part II (1974) – The calm consigliere in a world of chaos. Controlled, intellectual menace. Lt. Colonel Bill Kilgore in Apocalypse Now (1979) – “I love the smell of napalm in the morning.” One of cinema's most iconic performances. Oscar Winner for Tender Mercies (1983) – Best Actor for his deeply human portrayal of a broken country singer. The Great Santini (1979) – A towering, volatile performance that earned him an Academy Award nomination. Lonesome Dove (1989) – Cemented his legacy in the Western genre. Later career standouts: The Apostle (which he also wrote and directed), Open Range, The Judge. Duvall's strength was subtle authority. He never chased flash. He built characters from the inside out. In an industry obsessed with volume, he mastered quiet. Hollywood didn't just lose a legend. It lost a craftsman. https://variety.com/2026/film/news/paramount-skydance-response-warner-bros-discovery-deal-talks-1236665757/ Warner Bros./Skydance Will They/Won’t They Warner Bros. Discovery has reportedly reopened acquisition discussions with Skydance and Paramount, injecting fresh volatility into an already chaotic media landscape. Paramount previously floated a $30 per share offer, potentially rising to $31. Meanwhile, shareholder votes and competing interests continue to complicate the picture. This is consolidation round… what, 47? The real question is what this means for IP control, franchise strategy, and the long-term survival of mid-budget filmmaking. Every merger promises “synergy.” Historically, synergy often translates to layoffs, canceled projects, and fewer creative risks. We break down what this could mean for DC Studios, HBO prestige content, and the streaming wars at large. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (HBO Max) Season 1, Episode 5 (Penultimate Episode) Episode Title: “In the Name of the Mother” Directed by: Owen Harris Written by: Hiram Martinez & Ti Mikkel and Ira Parker Summary: The trial of seven begins. In the first charge, Aerion knocks Dunk off his horse. In a series of flashbacks to Dunk’s childhood, he and his friend Rafe scavenge from a battlefield. They return to Flea Bottom in King’s Landing and pickpocket from Alester, a City Watchman. Dunk and Rafe attempt to buy passage to the Free Cities in Essos, but cannot afford it. Alester corners them and takes their money. Rafe steals Alester’s dagger, but he notices and slits her throat. Arlan emerges from a tavern and kills Alester, saving Dunk, who then follows Arlan on his travels. In the present, Dunk duels Aerion on foot until both men collapse from injury. After Dunk falls unconscious, Aerion declares him dead. Egg begs Dunk to get up, and the crowd chants for Dunk as he stands. Dunk and Aerion resume their duel until Dunk gets the upper hand. Aerion yields and withdraws his accusation. In the aftermath, Beesbury and Hardyng are confirmed as killed. Dunk pledges fealty to Baelor. Raymun and Pate help Baelor remove his helmet, which Maekar struck with his mace during the trial, revealing a fatal wound. Baelor collapses from his injury and dies in Dunk’s arms. The jousting sequences are shot with brutal realism. Armor feels heavy. Impacts feel dangerous. The episode underscores a central thesis of Martin's work: nobility is aspirational, not guaranteed. Key Cast: Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan the Tall Dexter Sol Ansell as Prince Aegon “Egg” Targaryen Finn Bennett as Aerion Targaryen Bertie Carvel as Baelor Targaryen Sam Spruell as Maekar Targaryen Production Notes: The series distinguishes itself from House of the Dragon by focusing on intimate political storytelling rather than large-scale spectacle. The penultimate episode prioritizes character psychology, legacy, and the myth of knighthood over spectacle-driven chaos.

Send us a textPat Conroy's writing tips focus on using personal experience to craft honest, passionate prose. His advice emphasizes deep exploration of one's inner world, dedicated hard work, and the importance of reading widely. On finding your subjectWrite to understand your own life. Conroy wrote to make sense of his own story and invited readers to join him in the journey. He believed a writer's "central agony cowers in the limestone cave, licking its wounds, awaiting my discovery of it".Draw from your memories. Conroy frequently mined his difficult childhood, particularly his father's violence, as the central truth of his work. He wrote for the "people who can't speak" and explored where his life and relationships had gone off course.Use your life as fuel, not as a script. As a "creative non-fiction" writer, Conroy used his experiences to inform his fictional stories and craft complex characters, rather than simply presenting estranged family members with their names changed.Gather stories. Conroy was an avid collector of stories, treating them like "rare stamps" or a library of music. He was known to claim a good story for his own writing if he heard it. On the writing processWrite the first draft by hand. Conroy famously wrote the first drafts of his books on long yellow legal pads with a pen, preferring to lose himself in the narrative flowing from his hand.Dedicate yourself to hard, fanatical work. Conroy described writing as "hard labor and one of the most pleasant forms that fanaticism can take." He believed nothing lazy should ever enter his books.Practice with an "ironclad" schedule. Writing requires discipline and a consistent schedule. Conroy committed to a routine no matter where he was, knowing that the process "does not permit much familiarity with chaos".Go deeper, then go deeper again. He instructed writers to dive past the surface of their narratives. Your job, he said, is to discover the angels or demons—the enigmas—buried within you.Write for yourself. While Conroy loved his readers and answered every letter he could, he believed that ultimately, you write for yourself. Your art is "desperately trying to make its own voice heard to you"—you just need to listen. On language and craftListen to the sound of your sentences.  He insisted words had to "come out right".Pursue amplitude and exactness. Early in his career, Conroy was drawn to extravagance, but over time, he learned that "exactness is a virtue in even the most word-possessed writer". His writing balances lyrical, lush prose with simple and well-stated truths.Capture the spirit of a place. Conroy was a master of place, especially the South Carolina Lowcountry. He advised writers to make locations concrete, exact, and so vivid that they are indispensable to the story.Trust the power of story. The most powerful words, according to Conroy, are, "Tell me a story." On reading and learningRead everything, especially your contemporaries. Read 200 pages a day. Embrace the long apprenticeship. Conroy believed that his first, "naive" book, The Boo, taught him that he had a long way to go and would have to work as hard as any writer alive to master his craft.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

Aaron Alexander & John Humphrey are diving into Little Fockers (2010), the third film in the beloved comedy franchise following Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers. Directed by Paul Weitz, this raunchy family comedy once again pits Greg Focker (Ben Stiller — Zoolander, Tropic Thunder, Night at the Museum) against his intimidating father-in-law Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro — Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, The Irishman) as they prepare for Greg and Pam's twins' birthday party. The all-star ensemble cast includes Teri Polo (The West Wing, The Arrival) as Pam Byrnes, Blythe Danner (Meet the Parents, The Great Santini) as Dina Byrnes, Barbra Streisand (Funny Girl, Meet the Fockers) as Roz Focker, and Dustin Hoffman (Rain Man, The Graduate) returning as Bernie Focker. The supporting cast is packed with comedy powerhouses like Owen Wilson (Wedding Crashers, Loki) as Kevin, Harvey Keitel (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction) as a contractor, Jessica Alba (Fantastic Four, Sin City) as pharmaceutical rep Andi Garcia, and Laura Dern (Jurassic Park, Big Little Lies) as the headmistress of a prestigious school. Famous moments and highly searched scenes from Little Fockers include Greg's awkward “Godfocker” confrontation, the tension-filled hospital sequence, Jessica Alba's chaotic and seductive turn as Andi, and Jack's ongoing “circle of trust” test with Greg.

Hop aboard for a thrilling second episode with Bātar, packed with stories that will make you laugh, gasp, and question if pilots moonlight as comedians. The adventure kicks off with the baffling “Hawaii out of gas” debacle and revisits the unfinished “Football Island” tale from last week. Bātar shares a white-knuckle “Utility Hydraulic Failure” and a hilariously questionable moment with his pilot, Fox, debating their sobriety before a mission. Get ready for livestock mishaps, slapstick-worthy landing gear incidents, and the thrill of 685 combat missions (including a wild drop of 24 bombs at once!). From dodging enemy fire to reflecting on the rare boredom when it wasn't there, Bātar's experiences are anything but ordinary. Add in SR-71 “that didn't happen” moments, Great Santini antics, and an F-4 showdown, and you've got an episode that's impossible to miss!

Why did the US military support a film about a drunken, abusive husband and father who is a textbook narcissist?... The post ClandesTime 271 – The Great Santini first appeared on Spy Culture.(Read more...)

Will Rogers gave good advice about taking the right path in life. You better keep moving to avoid getting knocked down; suffering from paralysis caused by too much analysis will keep you stuck in the same position. In other words, dynamic action beats inaction. The blockbuster movie, An Officer and a Gentleman, starring actors Lou Gossett, Richard Gere, and Debra Winger closely mirrored the real-life plot lines and scenarios that marked the beginning of the Naval careers of both Commander Drew and Dr. Paul. Perhaps is was coincidence, but  it was remarkable that in roughly the same time period of our service, a series of military themed movies were released that further chronicled the journey of your two favorite wingmen, but in different ways. Of all of the authority figures we encountered in the Naval establishment, it was our Marine Corps Drill instructors whom we met first, that had the most lasting impact upon us. A few other great films to check out are: The Great Santini, The Final Countdown, Full Metal Jacket and of course,Top Gun. Even though the Navy and Marine Corps no longer fly the EA-6, this remarkable electronic warfare aircraft, in operation for forty five years, had the power to shut down radar and electrical systems in the air as well as on the ground.College can be really expensive. For the highly affluent and wealthy, a college education that costs a half million dollars is quite affordable and considered a necessity for those who want their children to be in the company of a cadre of special students groomed to be the future leaders of government, business and industry. The nation of Finland was able to cut its suicide rate in half through aggressive reforms in the way they approached mental illness. This remarkable transformation has helped the general population of Finland so much so that this country has been labeled the happiest country in the world for the past several years.Mackenzie Scott is a philanthropist that has donated over sixteen billion dollars to charitable causes in a few short years.

In the thirty-sixth episode of Season 8 (Coming-of-Ages) Kyle is joined by fellow podcaster Ben Thelen and script supervisor/editor Katy Baldwin to discuss the coming-of-age process as seen through the lens of informed militarism, oppressive parenthood, domineering expectation, and lasting trauma imposed through the sheer force of one man's will in Lewis John Carlino's adapation of Pat Conroy's semi-autobiographical novel The Great Santini (1979).

Philip and Courtney talk about the Scandoval, getting a puppy, different alcoholic beverages, and whether or not people know what other people are doing while in the bathroom. Oh yeah, they also talk a little bit about "The Great Santini". Enjoy this...ummm...interesting episode!!

"Tender Mercies" (1983) is about a former successful musician named Mac Sledge (Robert Duvall) who lost everything good in his life due to alcohol. When the film opens, he and a friend are staying in a motel, getting drunk and fighting while the proprietor, Rosa Lee (Tess Harper), and her young son, Carl (known as Sonny, played by Allan Hubbard), watch from their porch. When the friend skips out before paying the bill the next day, Mac offers to work for Rosa Lee in order to compensate for the room. She agrees, but tells him that he can't drink while he's working there. Thus begins Mac's slow streak of improving his life. He sticks with sobriety, marries Rosa Lee, and starts writing music again. It's the kind of movie that's not really plot-driven … more slice of life, at arm's length, character study about Mac's quiet redemption. Other highlights are Betty Buckley, who plays Mac's successful country star ex-wife, Dixie, and Ellen Barkin as Mac's estranged teen daughter, Sue Ann. The screenplay is written by Horton Foote, who won the best adapted screenplay Oscar for “To Kill a Mockingbird” in 1962. He also won a best original screenplay Oscar for “Tender Mercies” in 1983 and has a Pulitzer Prize for drama for his play, “The Young Man From Atlanta” and an Emmy for a TV adaptation of William Faulkner's “Old Man.” The director, Bruce Beresford (who we completely forgot to mention by name — sorry, Bruce), is probably best known for “Driving Miss Daisy” (1989), although my personal favorite film of his is “Double Jeopardy” (1999). Here are some things we mentioned during the episode and/or that we think you should check out: Norman K. Denzin's article in The Sociological Quarterly that provides a feminist close-reading of the film. Unfortunately, you need access to JSTOR to read it, but if you email me (lindsay@womaninrevolt.com), I can send you a copy. 1991 Robert Duvall interview on "Later with Bob Costas" 2002 Horton Foote interview at the Austin Film Festival Tess Harper presenting an award to Bruce Beresford at the 2010 Woodstock Film Festival Some interesting trivia: Duvall's only Oscar is for this film. He had been nominated for the following films (but did not win): “The Godfather” (1972), “Apocalypse Now” (1979), “The Great Santini” (1979), “The Apostle” (1997), “A Civil Action” (1998), and “The Judge” (2014). Duvall's contract stipulated that all of the songs had to be sung by him. “Over You,” the song Dixie performs at the Opry, was also nominated for an Oscar. Duvall wrote two of Mac's songs, "Fool's Waltz" and "I've Decided to Leave Here Forever.” Others were country classics and not written for the film. Universal Studio lost faith in the film after it performed poorly at test screenings. They also sort of ignored Willie Nelson's offers to promote the film. David Lynch was a contender for director at one point. Can you imagine this film with him at the helm? Actually, it probably would have been like “The Straight Story" (1999). The film was selected to screen in competition for the prestigious Palme d'Or (Golden Palm) Award at the Cannes Film Festival in 1983. Robert Duvall made his official cinema movie debut as Arthur "Boo" Radley in “To Kill a Mockingbird” (1962), whose screenplay was written by Horton Foote. Horton Foote and Duvall worked together on five projects: “TKAM,” William Faulkner's “Tomorrow” (1972), “Tender Mercies,” “The Midnight Caller” (play, 1958 debut), and “The Chase” (1966, based on his 1956 novel). Tess Harper and Bruce Beresford worked together on three films: “Tender Mercies,” “Crime of the Heart” (1986), and “Alibi” (1989).  Jeannine Oppewall was hired as art director. Beresford praised her as "absolutely brilliant," especially for her attention to very small details, "going from the curtains to the color of the quilts on the floors." It was Oppewall who named the motel Mariposa, Spanish for "butterfly," which symbolizes the spiritual resurrection Mac Sledge would experience there. Oppewall has four academy award nominations for best art direction:  "Seabiscuit" (2003), "LA Confidential" (1997), "Pleasantville" (1998), and "The Good Shepherd" (2006).

Jack and Joe are joined by Dr. Becca Hayes (scientist, Pittsburgh improv comedian, and Joe's partner) to talk about the wildly troubling, weirdly campy, and terrifyingly not-supposed-to-be-funny Mommie Dearest (1981), winner of the second-ever Razzie Award for Worst Picture. But we don't just tackle the film -- Jack directly compares it to the memoir it's based on to highlight the differences between these accounts of Joan Crawford's problematic parenting. We dig into the life-threateningly glaring omissions, reminisce on Cabbage Patch dolls and other childhood toys, somehow manage to reference the Simpsons and F. Scott Fitzgerald multiple times, and accidentally provide Jack with a therapy session regarding narcissism and parenting through a conversation on the Internet with ACTUAL NUANCE! Also, in a DeRazzled first, we get an alternative fix for this movie from our guest! Pour yourself a Pepsi, throw out your wire hangers, and awkwardly strap yourself into bed as you enjoy this one.

In celebration of Walter Edgar's Journal at 21, this week's episode is an encore from 2014 with world-renowned author, the late Pat Conroy in conversation with 4 of his 6 siblings.In his 2013 memoir, The Death of Santini (Nan A. Talese/Doubleday) author Pat Conroy admits that his father, Don, is the basis of abusive fighter pilot he created for the title role of his novel, The Great Santini, and that his mother, Peg, and his brothers and sisters have all served as models for characters in The Prince of Tides and his other novels. Now, for the first time, Pat gathers with four of his surviving siblings, Kathy, Tim, Mike, and Jim, to talk about the intersection of “real life” and Pat's fiction, and what it was like to grow up with “The Great Santini” as a father.

Review time so soon? Yes, here are six more, with 4 from 1974. 1974 was also a good year for progressive rock. Your decade under the influence crew starts things off today with (Across 110th street 1972). Here you have Anthony Quinn, Yaphet Kotto, and A truly radical ending, also the damned theme song is still stuck in my head. Next we review the second Dick Lester musketeers movie, (The four Musketeers 1974) same cast as the first plus Charlton Heston. Quickly moving on to (it's Alive 1974) What if your baby came out of the Shute with baby hands that kill almost everything that gets too close to them. Also what is it? Where is it from? And just perhaps maybe, why is movie? Next up Steve McQueen and Paul Newman try to out Star each other in (The towering inferno 1974). Oily rags do it again here, also the hunk from the thorn birds cut corners, and mommy dearest wasn't given enough to do. In (Willie Dynamite 1974) Gordon leaves Sesame Street and is big pimpin in a car with huge ass pipes, and Diana Sands as Cora tries to get Willie to wise up. Finally today we end with 1979's (The great Santini) Robert Duvall stars as a Military douche with a wife, four kids, and a heart of gold. Hmmmmm I dunno don't quote me on that last one. Hey friends, thanks for listening. Find us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, and let us know what you think.
