Podcasts about green baize vampire

This week's episode of the Empire Podcast asks the question: 'what if an interview started off the rails and went from there?' And answers it with a tremendously fun and, at times, utterly chaotic, interview between our Chris Hewitt and John Krasinski, writer/director/star of new fantasy movie IF. To listen to the most expensive interview of all time, go to 23:18 (approx). More fun and chaos can be found in our other interview this week [1:06:32 - 1:21:52 approx), as Chris sits down on Zoom with Ben Schwartz to talk about his improv show, Ben Schwartz And Friends, which is at the Royal Albert Hall this Sunday (May 19). Tickets on sale now at royalalberthall.com and rejactedjokes.com (And this is an excerpt from the 45-minute Ben Schwartz special, which is currently available in your podcast feed) Either side of those, Chris is joined in the podbooth for more fun and chaos by Helen O'Hara and James Dyer, as they discuss Dune: Prophecy, sports that deserve good movies (and yes, we are aware of Billy The Kid & The Green Baize Vampire, we just didn't mention it), the week's movie news, including Downton Abbey 3, Galactus casting, and the sad passing of the legendary Roger Corman, and review IF, Horde, Mother Of The Bride, and Tiger Stripes. Enjoy.

Whenever Harmony Colangelo pops in for a guest spot, you're in for a treat. What did they bring us this time? Oh, just "undoubtedly the only vampire snooker musical in cinema history" — a sports drama, a rock musical, and a vampire affair all rolled into one. Join Harmony and the Matts for an exquisitely 80s journey into career-defining tournaments and sharp fangs, spotlighting what will surely remain one of the oddest subgenre hybrids we'll ever cover on the show.

This week we are joined by military historian Dr. Lynette Nusbacher to discuss three 70’s films set in the Napoleonic era. We start with Sergei Bondarchuk’s expensive and Soviet-approved epic Waterloo (1970), pitting scenery-chewing Rod Steiger against Christopher Plummer and his eyebrow, with surely the most bodies on screen we’ve ever seen. Joe’s choice of Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon (1975) is a gruelling three hours of beautiful tableaux and a somewhat blank performance from Ryan O’Neal in his quest to reach the gentleman sphere. We finish with Ridley Scott’s first feature film The Duellists (1977) visually inspired by Barry Lyndon, narratively inspired by Joseph Conrad, following two cavalry officers honor-bound into repeatedly duelling throughout the course of Napoleon’s campaigns.Also: The world still revolves around Orson Welles. Napoleon wasn’t as short as we’ve been led to believe. 200 year-old spoilers. Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure. Lynette Godwins Napoleon. “By God, I’ve lost my leg, sir.” Napoleon always wins, except when it rains. Eyes Wide Barry Lyndon Shut. The Whiffenpoofs. Lynette pulls focus over both of us. The 1595 Club. The Mark 1 eyeball. It all goes a bit Jane Austen. Green Baize Vampire spotted. We play a game of “Yes, Commander” and somehow we don’t mention Sharpe once. Lynette corrects ABBA.

Only two movies this week and no theme to link them. Dee’s pick is Patlabor 2: The Movie (1993) directed by Mamoru Oshii and written by Kazunori Itô, the pairing that then went on to make Ghost in the Shell (1995). Joe picks Miller’s Crossing (1990) linking back to last week’s crime noir discussion and redeems the Coens for Dee. We then recap our favorites from the entire season: The Night of the Hunter (1955), Duel (1971), Billy the Kid and the Green Baize Vampire (1985), Walker (1987), The Good Thief (2002), Ink (2009), Easy A (2010), Locke (2013) and Raw (2016). We try not to dwell on some of the low points and give some honorable mentions.Also: Dee plugs the fictitious Shinohara Heavy Industries. Joe can’t pronounce Arakawa. We debate the virtues of an unjust peace versus a just war. Aw, did somebody hit you? Joe tiptoes carefully around some period-accurate Jewish slurs. We play the “Ultimate Season Round-up Quiz” and #PERL the cat gets involved. Moshi moshi. Dee finally understands why he hates E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). We finish on several dramatic cliffhangers.

In contrast to last episode’s excitement about watching Tommy (1975) we discover that it hasn’t aged well although there are bright spots. You’ve got to love the album-length anime music video that is Daft Punk’s Interstella 5555 (2003) and its subtle metaphorical cry for help. Joe needs a run up to enjoy Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008) which makes the most of a very limited budget. Les Misérables (2012) requires multiple sessions to watch and doesn’t blow us away so Dee makes Mean Girls jokes instead. We go off-topic with Billy the Kid and the Green Baize Vampire (1985), the only vampire snooker musical you’ll ever need and Bugsy Malone (1976), Alan Parker’s prohibition child musical.Also: We start with a game of “Next Lines”. We have a professional cat wrangler on set to keep #PERL the cat away from the mic, mostly. Mostly. Joe gets a stress pillow and a warm childhood hug. Dee insults Paris. We decide we’d rather be hanging out in Supersonic Sam’s Cosmic Café than Fat Sam’s Grand Slam Speakeasy.
