Ruim 20 versies gingen deze meest recente Franse verfilming van Le Comte de Monte-Cristo voor. John en Coen bespreken deze megahit die eindelijk ook in Nederland te zien is. Wat voor nieuws valt er nog te ontdekken in dit overbekende verhaal?Na die recensie geeft John de microfoon door aan Gudo die samen met Coen Amadeus; the theatrical cut zag. Blijft deze klassieker ook bij de zoveelste kijkbeurt boeien? Of ontstaan er toch scheurtjes in de liefde?Tenslotte keert John weer terug voor een top 5 'Beste versie van een bekend werk'. Terwijl Coen worstelt met zijn lijstje smijt John met de mooiste filmtitels. 00:00 Introductie02:38 Recensie: Le Comte de Monte-Cristo21:22 Klassieker: Amadeus (1984)54:27 Top 5: Beste versie van een bekend werk92:31 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

MovieInsiders John en Coen reizen met recente Oscarwinnaar I'm Still Here naar de militaire dictatuur in Brazilië begin jaren 1970. Is de persoonlijke link van cineast Walter Salles (Central do Brasil) met dit waargebeurde verhaal goed voelbaar? Tussendoor kruipt Gudo even uit zijn slakkenhuisje voor een bespreking van de ambachtelijke klei-animatie Memoir of a Snail. Vervolgens wagen de mannen zich aan de 320 miljoen(!) kostende Netflix-release The Electric State. Is het afbranden daarvan leuker dan de film zelf of is niet alle kritiek terecht? 00:00 Introductie02:01 Recensie: Ainda Estou Aqui / I'm Still Here21:30 Recensie: Memoir of a Snail37:08 Recensie: The Electric State58:38 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mickey 17 is de nieuwe Bong Joon Ho en die móet besproken worden door MovieInsiders (en grote fans van deze Zuid-Koreaanse meester) Coen en Gudo. Is dit een waardige opvolger van Parasite? Of staat deze politieke satire in de achterhoede van zijn oeuvre? Naar aanleiding van deze film delen de twee mannen hun top 5 films over dubbelgangers. Spoiler: zonder dubbelingen. Tussendoor bespreken Coen en Jasper September 5.

Geen mooier moment voor een soundtrackspecial dan het Oscarweekend. MovieInsider Coen brengt ons in de Oscarsferen met een uitgebreide bespreking van de vijf voor een Academy Award genomineerde scores. Coen bespreekt Emilia Pérez, The Wild Robot, Conclave, Wicked en The Brutalist aan de hand van muziekfragmenten en scènes. Ook plaatst hij ze in een bredere context door ze te vergelijken met eerder werk van de componisten en van de regisseurs. Of door na te denken hoe de film ook anders had kunnen klinken. Zo kan het gebeuren dat Ennio Morricone, Hans Zimmer en Bryce Dessner voorbij komen in de bespreking van Conclave. Als toetje doen Gudo en John hun Oscarvoorspellingen (vanaf 56:09). Dus kom alvast in de stemming voor zondag en beluister deze bomvolle podcastaflevering.Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wéér zo'n muzikale biopic! En ook nog goed voor liefst 8 Oscarnominaties! Past A Complete Unknown, over de 'rise' (en niet de 'fall') van de door Timothée Chalamet gespeelde Bob Dylan, in het welbekende genresjabloon? Of weet regisseur James Mangold - eerder verantwoordelijk voor de Johnny Cash-biopic Walk the Line - de clichés knap te omzeilen? Gudo en Jasper delen na deze recensie hun top 5 muzikale momenten uit niet-musicals. Spelregel: de personages uit de bewuste film moeten het zelf zingen of in elk geval kunnen horen? Klinkt ingewikkeld?

'Na de gourmetscène hebben de makers van Winter vol liefde verdorie wéér een cruciale scène gemist' Na zijn veelbesproken Gordon-docusoap, ligt producent en misdaadverslaggever John van den Heuvel opnieuw onder vuur. Waarom leek het hem een goed idee om het voorwoord van Joran van der Sloots nieuwe boek te schrijven? Het podcastpanel vermoedt een sterk staaltje opportunisme. 'Hij meet met twee maten", aldus Angela de Jong. Uiteraard staat ook déze podcast deels in het teken van Winter vol liefde. Vooral de meest spraakmakende (schoon)moeder van Nederland, Monique uit Seefeld, blijft de tongen losmaken. Horen we haar nu zeggen dat de Friese Antine altijd haar 'favoriet' was? Dat staat toch in schril contrast met eerdere uitspraken over haar potentiële schoondochter? Het wakkert opnieuw de discussie aan over de authenticiteit van het populaire RTL-programma. En waarom miste de cameraploeg meer dan eens een cruciaal moment in het datingproces? Ook aan bod in deze podcast: wat ving Gudo allemaal op in de rechtbank van Lelystad waar voormalig WNL-presentatrice Margreet Spijker probeerde een rapport over grensoverschrijdend gedrag openbaar te krijgen? En tijd om het vergrootglas te leggen op het huidige Wie is de Mol?-seizoen. Gudo is zeer kritisch. Bovendien zegt hij dé hint te hebben gevonden naar de saboteur. Verder staan Tim de Wit en Jet de Nijs in Angela's Etalage, wordt er wederom gespeculeerd over de opvolger van Maarten van Rossem en komt er antwoord op de vraag of de Emmely de Wilt-fanclub-podcast nu eindelijk het levenslicht ziet nu Emmely de RadioRing heeft gewonnen.

Bezorgde het op het eerste oog met clichés doorspekte Sing Sing, over gedetineerden die een toneelclub beginnen, MovieInsiders Jasper en Coen kromme tenen of toch vochtige ooghoeken? En hoe beviel het de heren om klassieker Se7en, met Brad Pitt en Morgan Freeman, terug uit de oude, ahum, doos te halen? Je hoort het in deze nieuwe aflevering van MovieInsiders, waarin ook nog te horen is hoe Gudo zijn grote waardering voor de veelzijdige filmmaker (en meer) David Lynch uitspreekt en Coen en Jasper hun top 5 gevangenisfilms delen. 00:00 Introductie02:39 Recensie: Sing Sing16:37 Gudo's ode aan David Lynch21:46 Rewind: Se7en (1995)37:44 Top 5: Gevangenisfilms58:12 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Er kan natuurlijk pas een strik om filmjaar 2024 als de MovieInsiders Awards zijn uitgereikt. Leuk en aardig die Golden Globes of Oscars, maar er kan niks op tegen de uiteenlopende, soms bizarre prijzen die Gudo en John in petto hebben. Wat dacht je van de Phantom Menace-award voor de grootste teleurstelling, de Citizen Kane-award voor nieuw talent, Lolly's voor de hardste lach en Kleenex om de tranen te drogen. Maar ook de Bloedworst voor de slechtste film, de Niet mijn kopje thee-award en niet te vergeten de Schaamhaar op de toiletpot. And the "winner" is... Tussendoor worden met hulp van Coen nog even twee gloednieuwe bioscooptitels besproken: de nieuwe Nosferatu van Robert Eggers en de nieuwe Halina Reijn (Babygirl met Nicole Kidman). 00:00 Introductie en Feedback11:59 MovieInsiders Awards 2024 Part I47:25 Recensie: Nosferatu (2024)68:47 Recensie: Babygirl76:28 MovieInsiders Awards 2024 Part II114:39 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vrij naar de bekendste zin uit de serie: 'Flodder, wat doet u nu?!' Want terwijl de zoveelste herhaling op een verstopte RTL zender nog loopt, wordt er deze week een remake van de serie rondom de bekendste aso-familie uit de jaren 80 aangekondigd. Geheel in de revival-trend. Maar is dit wel een slim idee? Angela de Jong: ‘Kees die een heel hockeyteam afwerkt, kan dat nu nog in de nieuwe Flodder?' De nieuwe dramaserie De Toeslagenaffaire wordt besproken. Het mediapanel is unaniem onder de indruk. Mediaverslaggever Gudo Tienhooven: 'Dit is, zonder overdrijven, dé horrorserie van het seizoen. De hel als dit je overkomt.'   3 minutes of fame, it's your lucky day is het nieuwe zaterdagavondprogramma van SBS6. Waarin bijvoorbeeld een heftruckchauffeur en een gehandicaptenbegeleider zich voor - je raadt het al - drie minuten een ster wanen op een groot podium. Met hulp van bekende zangers als Mart Hoogkamer en Roxeanne Hazes. En waar Wendy van Dijk letterlijk een presentatrice lijkt te spelen in het decor. Presentator Manuel Venderbos was tot tranen geroerd en zowel Gudo als Angela vonden het niks. Natuurlijk wordt er nagepraat over Bar Laat waar wederom de chemie tussen Jeroen Pauw en Loretta Schrijver afspat, Dossier Afgestaan staat in Angela's Etalage en er zijn sterke vermoedens dat men in Amerika ook naar de Ae-Dee-Media-podcast luistert.

De Amerikaanse presidentsverkiezingen staan voor de deur, maar of dat iets is om wild enthousiast van te worden? Gudo en John gebruiken het in elk geval als een handig excuus om de klassieke zwarte komedie Election uit 1999 met Reese Witherspoon eens terug te spoelen. Die nieuwe kijkbeurt levert verrassende inzichten op. Ook verdiepten ze zich - geheel vrijwillig - in de persoon die straks zomaar opnieuw in het Witte Huis zou kunnen zetelen. Dat kon gelukkig in de vorm van een bioscoopervaring. Maar of ook The Apprentice over Donald Trumps 'rise to the top' verrassende inzichten bood? En de heren recenseren ietwat stamelend de transgender-misdaadmusical (je leest het goed!) Emilia Pérez. Is de vroege Oscarbuzz rond die titel terecht? 00:00 Introductie03:31 Recensie: The Apprentice25:20 Recensie: Emilia Pérez41:09 Rewind: Election (1999)62:54 Gewenste biopics76:19 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Terwijl de andere MovieInsiders van fijnere films genoten zag Gudo het als zijn taak om toch het gehate en geflopte Joker: Folie à Deux te gaan aanschouwen. Sluit hij zich bij alle kritiek aan of zag hij iets wat de rest niet zag? John en Coen buigen zich over de bijzondere animatiestijl van Dreamworks' The Wild Robot en reizen naar Bangkok af voor de Thaise crowdpleaser How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies. Hoe bevielen de eerste afleveringen van The Penguin en was het tweede seizoen van The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power een verbetering?

Als zelfs de nuchtere MovieInsider John snakt naar adem bij het zien van de spraakmakende bodyhorror-satire The Substance met Demi Moore, is er iets bijzonders aan de hand in filmland. Hij en Gudo storten zich met veel overgave op dé sensatie van het afgelopen festival van Cannes. Op Netflix regent het (zoals gebruikelijk) ook nieuwe titels. Is Rebel Ridge de zoveelste door algoritmes gedicteerde actiefilm of heeft de streamingdienst binnen dit genre eindelijk weer een pareltje in huis? En wat is toch de blijvende aantrekkingskracht van oerklassieker The Third Man die 75 jaar na zijn première opnieuw wordt uitgebracht in een spectaculaire 4K-restauratie? 00:00 Introductie05:04 Recensie: The Substance26:53 Ook nog gezien: De Terugreis, Rebel Ridge, His Three Daughters, Monsters44:08 Klassieker: The Third Man (1949)59:25 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Coen en Gudo duiken diep in Tim Burtons bizarre Beetlejuice-universum en vragen zich af: hoe 'vers' is de komische klassieker met Michael Keaton uit 1988 nog? En voegt het langverwachte vervolgdeel, liefst 36 jaar na dato (!), iets waardevols aan die wereld toe? Het antwoord is zowel ja als nee, concludeert Gudo die als enige MovieInsider de tijd had hem voor deze podcast te zien. Zijn er eigenlijk meer sequels die op hun wensenlijstje staat? Want hoezeer de heren vaak ook mopperen op het gebrek aan originele cinema; déze 'gouwe ouwen' verdienen wat hen betreft absoluut een opvolger...00:00 Introductie04:33 Klassieker: Beetlejuice (1988)09:50 Recensie: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice20:40 Top 5: Gewenste sequelsSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gudo en John vieren hun reünie door terug te spoelen naar het decennium waarin puur pretentieloos vermaak de dienst uitmaakte. Hollander in Hollywood Jan de Bont drukte daar meer dan eens zijn stempel op, onder meer met de rampenfilm Twister. Is die film, bijna 30 jaar na dato, een slome storm in een glas water? En hoe beviel de huidige horrorhype Longlegs met Nicolas Cage als een geschifte seriemoordenaar? In de derde akte van deze podcast steken de heren hun thermometer in het blockbusterlandschap van nu. Leuk dat Pixars Inside Out 2 zo goed scoort, maar aan dat succes kleven ook nadelen. Wordt het trouwens ook niet eens tijd voor een verklaring van Gudo en John's maandenlange afwezigheid? 00:00 Introductie04:41 Rewind: Twister (1996)27:28 Ook nog gezien: Longlegs, Le Procès Goldman46:43 Onze afwezigheid verklaard en het huidige probleem in blockbusterland68:54 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

De heren mogen soms een flinke poos uit de lucht zijn, helemaal uitroeien doe je die MovieInsiders nooit. Tijd voor (weer) een comeback, een bescheiden inhaalslag en dat alles zonder een greintje 'anxiety'.Wat is al een tijdje uit, maar draait nog steeds in de bioscoop? In een stevig blok 'Ook nog gezien...' komen onder meer Kevin Costner's ambitieuze 'cowboys en indianenepos' Horizon, Yorgos Lanthimos' zwartkomisch geschifte Kinds of Kindness en George Miller's nieuwe western op wielen Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga voorbij. En waar kijken de presentatoren - ditmaal Gudo en soundtrackspecial-veteraan Coen - het meest naar uit in de tweede helft van 2024?Maar eerst, volledig volgens MovieInsiders-traditie, het vergrootglas op één nieuwe titel. Inside Out 2 is het langverwachte vervolg op het animatie-meesterwerk uit 2015. Qua kassacijfers lijkt dit de Barbie van het jaar te worden.

Kijken we sinds de recente Oscarwinnaar The Zone of Interest voorgoed anders naar cinema over de Holocaust? Gudo en John proberen een antwoord te geven op die moeilijke vraag na het herzien van The Pianist uit 2002; Roman Polanski's moderne klassieker die deze week tijdelijk terugkeert in de bioscopen. Ook de nieuwe film Civil War van Ex Machina-regisseur Alex Garland is geen licht verteerbare kost. Want een tweede Amerikaanse burgeroorlog, hoe 'sciencefiction' is dat nog? Deze opvallend apolitieke thriller zit in elk geval vol spannende confrontaties.

Zoals verwacht sleepte Oppenheimer de belangrijkste Oscars binnen, maar er gebeurde meer tijdens het jaarlijkse filmfeest der filmfeestjes. Gudo en John doen, net als in bioscoop LantarenVenster, verslag én leggen het vergrootglas op twee Oscarwinnende titels die je momenteel thuis kunt zien: de tragikomische satire American Fiction over een schrijver (rol van Jeffrey Wright) die pas succes heeft wanneer hij aan de 'zwarte clichés' voldoet en de indringende documentaire 20 Days in Mariupol. Verder staan de heren in deze podcast stil bij de opmerkelijke carrière van Nicolas Cage naar aanleiding van het zwartgallige Dream Scenario.

Find me and the show on social media @DrWilmerLeon on X (Twitter), Instagram, and YouTube Facebook page is www.facebook.com/Drwilmerleonctd   TRANSCRIPT: Speaker 2 (00:14): Welcome to the Connecting the Dots podcast with Dr. Wilmer Leon. I'm Wilmer Leon. Here's the point. We have a tendency to view current events as though they occur in a vacuum, failing to understand and to truly appreciate the broader historical context in which most of these events occur. During each episode of this program, my guests and I will have probing, provocative, and in-depth discussions that connect the dots between current events and the broader historic context in which they occur. This will enable you to better understand and analyze the events that impact the global village in which we live. On today's episode, the questions are why are American neocons hell bent on starting a conflict with Russia? What's going on in Ukraine? Who was Alexi Naval? And is NATO really still relevant? For insight into all of this let's turn to my guest. He's a former US Marine Corps intelligence officer who served in the former Soviet Union implementing arms control treaties in the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Storm, and in Iraq overseeing the disarmament of WMD. (01:31) His most recent book is entitled Disarmament In the Time of Perestroika, he is Scott Ritter. Scott, welcome. Thanks for joining me and let's connect some dots. Well, thanks for having me. And first of all, I have to say I love the name of your show in the intelligence business, connecting the dots is what we do. You never get the full picture. You get little pieces of information, and the question is, how do you connect them to get a proper narrative? So I like the idea. Well, thank you, Scott. I appreciate that. So the answers to each of these questions I think could be a show of their own, but let's start with in 2024, why are neocons so afraid of Russia? I mean, when we go back to this nauseating ongoing narrative, Hillary Clinton blamed Russia for hacking into the DNC server. No evidence was presented, but the narrative held and continues to hold in spite of scientific empiric evidence. (02:39) To the contrary, the whole Russiagate fiasco, even now, representative Mike Turner from Ohio, the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, he warns that Russia may be developing a space-based weapon that can target US satellites, NBC reported on the 19th of this month, alarming new warnings about Russia held zapper erosion. Nuclear power plant may be on the verge of explosion. These are just a few examples and we'll get to the specifics of each of these in a few, but just these are just some overarching examples of example, this Russia phobia. Why? Well, I mean, let's just look at historic examples. At the end of the Second World War, we had built up this economy that was a lot of people forget that before the Second World War happened, we had a thing called the Great Depression, and our economy was not the healthiest in the world, and we used global war as a way to mobilize our economy, to get it up to war footing. (03:48) And there was a recognition that with 12 million guys coming home, we needed jobs. And if we tried to transition back to a civilian economy, we ran the danger of going backwards instead of forward. So we had to keep this military industrial complex up and running. But to do that, you need an enemy, you need a bad guy. Therefore, we have the Iron Curtain, Winston Churchill's, Fulton, Missouri speech in, I think 1946, the creation of nato and then the Red Scare. I mean, Russia has always been communism back then. Not just Russia, but communist China was always the perfect boogeyman to say, Ooh, danger lurks. We therefore now have a justification to militarize our economy and back this up politically by pointing to this threat. Back in the fifties, we had the bomber gap. You remember that? (04:52) Read about it little before my time, but I got you. Yeah, I mean, we weren't around back. We're old Wilber, but we're not that old. But yeah, the idea of, I think the Russians took, had like a dozen bombers, but on a military parade, they just flew them over and over and over again in a circle over Moscow, and the people on the ground looked up and said, oh my goodness, there's a whole bunch of bombers. And so the CIA used this, the Congress used this to justify building more American bombers, even though once we got our satellites up, we went, there's only 12. There's not that many, but we never told the truth. Then there was the missile gap. John F. Kennedy was responsible for that one too. The Russians have missiles. We have to build missiles, missiles, missiles until we found out that they didn't have the missiles. (05:40) But it didn't matter. We continued to build them anyways, and this led to the Cuban missiles crisis, which scared the live and you know what out of everybody and got us on the path of arms control, at least trying to contain, but we still called them the threat. That's all that's happening here. I can guarantee you this Wilmer, the neocons aren't looking for a war with Russia because as politically biased as they are, as fear mongers are, they're not suicidal and they know what the consequences of a war with Russia would be, but what they're doing is they're pushing it right up to the cusp of conflict, especially now when you have an American society that's sort of waking up to the fact that we're spending a lot of money over there when we need to be spending a lot of money back here at home, and people are starting to ask questions. (06:30) So the way that you avoid answering these questions is to create that straw man that threat, the Russian threat. The Russians are evil. You said it perfectly. They interfered with our election. They're doing this, that and the other thing, and therefore we must spend 64 billion in Ukraine even though we can't spend $64 million in Flint, Michigan. I mean, it's this sort of argument that's going on, and this may seem as a somo or a juvenile question, but how dangerous is this? World War? I was to a great degree, started on a fluke. It is in many instances or in many minds attributable to the assassination of Archduke Fran Ferdinand. But that in and of itself isn't what started the war. There were a number of skirmishes and a number of tensions that were going on in Europe, and this was really just the spark that led to World War I. (07:33) If my understanding of history is accurate. So do we find ourselves now, whether it be Russia and Ukraine, China and Taiwan, North Korea and South Korea, I mean the United States, what's going on in Venezuela as the United States is interfering in the Venezuelan elections? There are a number, of course, we've got Gaza in the Middle East, so we've got our hands, we're smoking at the gas station and smoking at a lot of gas stations. I'm going to steal that, by the way. I like that analogy. Just letting everybody know I'm using that from now on. Look, first of all, there's no such thing as a sophomore question. The one thing I learned, and I learned this from guys who are 20 times smarter than me, that the only stupid questions, the one you don't ask, you don't ask, but you're a hundred percent right. Barbara Tuckman wrote a book, the Guns of August, I think it was a PO prize winning book about how we got to World War I. (08:38) And one of the key aspects to that wasn't just the different crises that were taking place, but how people responded to that and the thing that made World War I inevitable, even though everybody, if you read the book, everybody in the summer of 1914, nobody wanted war. Everybody believed it would be avoided, it was just suicidal. But then they got into this cycle of mobilization, mobilizing their societies economically and militarily for conflict because that's just what you did when you had a crisis. But it's okay, we're just mobilizing and we're not really going to war. What scares me about today is there's a recognition on the part of everybody that war would be suicidal, that we don't want this, but look at what we've done. We built up the Ukrainian military from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands and got it equipped, organized, trained to go to war against Russia. (09:44) What do you think we were doing in Ukraine from 2015 to 2022 when we were training a battalion of Ukrainian soldiers every 55 days for the sole purpose of fighting Russians? This helped trigger a conflict. It got Russia to respond. Then we poured more money into Ukraine. What did Russia do? Mobilize People need to put on their hats and go, wait a minute, that's a word we don't want to hear. Russia mobilized not just the 300,000, but the process of mobilization continued to where they trained 450,000 volunteers since January 1st, just for everybody who's wondering what's going on in Ukraine, I know that's going to be later on question. Russia mobilized 53,000 volunteers. This is at a time when Ukraine's thumping people on the head and takes 'em to the front because nobody wants to fight. 53,000 Russians volunteered to go fight in the war since January 1st. (10:42) They're coming in at 1000, 1,500 a day. And let me reiterate, that's not press gangs like they're using in Russia. G roaming the villages taking the men and now women from the streets and putting them into the military. That's not conscription, that's volunteer. And let me make this following point, it's even more interesting than that. It's not a bunch of 22-year-old red meat eating young men who are looking for adventure and romance. The average age of the Russian volunteer going in is about 35 years old. He's married, he has a family, and he has a job. It's the last person in the world that you'd expect to volunteer to go to a war zone. And yet they're doing it because they love their country, because they say we have to do that. What's going on right now is an existential struggle for the survival of Russia against the collective West, which again speaks to the danger of mobilization because Russia is a nation that is mobilizing and has the potential to mobilize even more if necessary. (11:55) And this should scare the heck out of everybody in nato because right now you have nato. What's NATO talking about doing Wilmer mobilizing. They're talking about mobilizing. You have everybody in NATO saying, well, they never say, well, since we kicked this hornets nest and the hornets are now coming out and stinging us, maybe we should stop kicking the hornet's nest. They don't acknowledge the role they played in building the Ukrainian army to trigger this, but what they're saying now is, oh, because Russia now has mobilized and is defeating the proxy army that we built. We have to mobilize in turn. And you have Brits talking about general mobilization, Germans, and what this does. Now, you're a Russian. You're sitting there going, huh? They're talking about mobilizing. Well, if they do that, what do we have to do? I mean, Finland just joined nato. We really don't care until they put on Russia's border, pardon on Russia's border, on Russia's border until they put NATO troops there. (12:50) Now Russia has to say, well, we didn't want to do this. But to give you an example, we keep the determinants mobilized. Wil Russia was compelled to create a new military district, the St. Petersburg military District, because Finland joined nato. There wasn't a St. Petersburg military district. Russia didn't have 70,000 combat troops on the finished border until Finland joined nato. Now, Russia has built mobilized Wilmer. They've put in 70,000 frontline troops divisions ready to march on Helsinki. Not because they wanted to, but because they were compelled to by the mobilization. Bringing Finland and Sweden into NATO is a form of mobilization. What we have here is we are moving in the wrong direction. We are accumulating military power in Europe, and at some point in time you're smoking at the gas station and it's going to go, I'm going to have to use that one, Scott. That's pretty good. (13:51) Feel free. So this time last year, Ukraine was on the front page of every newspaper as of the morning of that we're taping this conversation. I don't see Ukraine referenced. And let me suggest folks, Reid, I don't know if you've read Nikolai Petro and Ted Snyder's piece to end the war in Ukraine expose its core lie. Let me read two quick paragraphs. This is how it opens. The essential argument used to avoid negotiation and continue support for the war in Ukraine is based on a falsehood. That falsehood repeated by President Biden is that when Putin decided to invade, which we can debate that word, he intended to conquer all of Ukraine and annihilated its falsity, has been exposed multiple times by military experts who have pointed out both before and after the invasion, that Russia could not have intended to conquer all of Ukraine because it did not invade with sufficient forces to do so. Scott Ritter, well, look, that was my argument all along. I kept saying they're only going in with around 200,000. Ukraine at the start of the war had around 770,000, and I went, the normal attack defender ratio is supposed to be three to one in favor of the attacker. And Russia's going in with a one to three disadvantage. (15:21) Why? And the answer was because they weren't trying to occupy Ukraine. They were trying to, oh no, it's because Russians can't do math. Well, that too, I mean, I must be Russian because I'm not very good at math either. But my military math was like, this isn't adding up. But Russia's goal is to get 'em to a negotiating table. But I also then when Russia mobilized, because I basically said that Russia's going to have to get 500, 600,000 men to stabilize the frontline just to stabilize the frontline. And they mobilized to do that. And then people said, well, they're going to go on to Odessa. And I went, if they go on to Odessa, they're going to need around 900,000 guys to go on to Odessa and take those things. Russia's got about 900,000 guys there now. So they have enough troops to do that. (16:09) But to go on to Poland, they're going to need about 1.5 million guys. They don't have that. And to go from Poland to Germany, they're going to need around 3 million guys. It's just basic military math. I mean, I could bore you all day about how I come up with these numbers, but it's the logistics of war. It's the scope and scale of the fronts, how to protect flanks, how to sustain offensive operations. The math doesn't lie. I'm pretty good with those numbers and Russia doesn't have it. And here's the thing. We know this. I mean, there's, look, I was a major and I only was a major for a little while. The main part of my military life was spent as a captain. Now, captains are pretty cool, but we're not seniors. We're not the most senior people in the world. So I admit that my perspective was a captain's perspective at senior headquarters. (17:01) I saw the big picture, but I know enough to know what it takes to move troops. I was part of moving 750,000 troops into the Middle East. I know what a tip fiddle is, time phase deployment list, how to surge things in. I planned a core sized operation and had to plan on the logistics sustainability of that. I'm pretty good with the numbers. And so are the people in the Pentagon who are more senior than I am. People who see the bigger picture in more detail. They know what I'm talking about too. And they know no matter how much you talk up somebody, you're only as good as your logistics. I mean, you can have the Lamborghini, but if you ain't got the gasoline, you don't have anything. You have a piece of metal sitting in your driveway, but you got to have the gas and you got to have the gas sustained. (17:53) You got to be able to maintain it, fix it. Lamborghini's brake. You got to have people trained to drive the Lamborghini. We can talk the Russians up all we want to about this, that and the other thing. But the bottom line is they're only human and they can only do that which is physically possible to do. And they don't have the troops to invade NATO to drive on nato. It's a 100% fabrication on the part of these people to justify their own mobilization. But everybody knows that Russia can't. Right now, Russia has sufficient troops to take Odessa to take cargo, to take Nikola, to take nepa, Petros, that's it. They can't do anything more than that. If they want to drive on Kiev, they're going to need another 300,000 troops up in Belarus that they don't have right now. So people just have to put on their thinking caps and think rationally. (18:46) But right now, rational thought isn't in the cards. Apparently, you know a hell of a lot more about this than I do. You speak the language, you listen to the broadcast, I listen to you and other folks, but when I keep hearing statements about what Russia is going to do, the one thing that I never hear following that is evidence to support the position Russia wants to take over Europe. Europe, I've never heard President Putin say that. I've never read anything coming out of Russia that says that. All I hear is Nikki Haley and Joe Biden and Kamala there. There's a litany of folks that'll tell me that, but I haven't seen them present one video of President Putin standing at a podium or taking off his shoe like Stalin and pounding on the podium saying, I'm kicking your, and the other point is, 80% of what I see is defensive, not offensive. Here's another one you might want to use. Don't start nothing, won't be nothing. And it seems as Joe Biden would just shut the up. (20:14) You using my language? I want to be a Marine. Marine. So, okay, you get my point, Scott. Well, here's the thing. If we go back to the January, December, 2021, January 22 timeframe, the US government's running, going, Russia is going to invade, Russia is going to invade. Now, they may have had some intelligence about Russia moving up, logistics and all that stuff, but I said, Russia won't invade right now. They said, why? And I said, because Russia is a nation and the Russian government is ruled by law. Believe it or not. It's their law. It ain't our law, but it's their law. And there are things that have to happen before you can talk about an invasion. I spelled it out. I said, first of all, Russia will not operate in violation of the United Nations charter. So they will have to come up with a cognizable case for invasion. (21:12) And right now, the only one they have is preemptive self-defense. But to get preemptive self-defense, Russia will have to form a security relationship with the Doba, a formal security relationship, which will require the doba to not only declare their independence, but for Russia to recognize that independence. And then once Russia recognizes that independence, then Russia will have to go through, the President will have to go to the Duma, the Duma will have to approve something, go to the Senate, and then the Senate takes it back to the President, who then signs it. And then, and only then can we talk about military intervention. Now, this can take place in a short period of time, but I can promise you guarantee you that Russia ain't crossing the border until that happens. And if we're not seeing that happen, then there will be no military intervention and everybody's like, oh, scout up. Well, everything I said is 100. That's what happened in February. Russia began the process. Now, they did it in a very compact period of time, but every step that I said had to be taken was taken. Why? The rule of law. Putin is not a dictator. Putin is governed by the rule of law. He is not permitted to do things on a whim, and it's the same thing. If he wants to. (22:30) Russian troops cannot operate outside of the border of Russia without the permission of the Duma. He would have to go to them constitutionally, say, Hey, I'd like to send troops to Poland because he can't just send troops to Poland. And then the Duma would say, why are we doing this? What is the threat? And normally, the only reason to justify it is Poland attacked us, so we have to wait for that one. And that's the thing. In order for him to do anything to begin mobilizing, he can't just, why didn't he have 300,000 troops already mobilized to go into Ukraine? Because to justify the mobilization, you need legal justification. He didn't have it, didn't have it, couldn't go to the Duma, couldn't justify it. None of the steps that would be required for Russia to attack Europe are in place. First of all, it's not in Russia's doctrine, their entire approach, and you hit it on the head, their defense. (23:33) Now, the Russians are very good at the counter offensive, so if we attack them, Russian defensive doctors is to receive the attack, to destroy the attack and then to counter attack, and you counter attack to destroy the political center of the beast that attacked you. So yeah, if you want Russian troops in Warsaw, if you want Russian troops in Berlin, attack Russia. But otherwise, don't worry about it because it isn't going to happen. Don't start nothing. It won't be nothing. Won't be nothing. I like it. Alexi Navalny described as, and this is the description, the dominant Western narrative described as Russian President Putin's most formidable domestic opponent fell unconscious and died at polar wolf, Arctic penal colony. Biden described him as a powerful voice for the truth. What has happened to Navali is yet more proof of Putin's brutality. No one should be fooled. Well, the first thing is, if that was true, then what does this say about Biden's unyielding support for genocide in Gaza? What does that say about his brutality looking at the thousands, tens of thousands that people have fought, but that's not the point. If you could quickly unpack the myth of Alexi Navalny and the alleged poisoning and all of that stuff to kind of dispel this myth that Putin has assassinated his most formidable domestic opponent. (25:25) Okay, first of all, we have to understand that the United States government has been in the business of trying to control Russian politics since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The decade of the 1990s was premised on an American policy of promoting democratic reform inside Russia. But what it means by that is by creating institutions that are controlled by the United States and banking and well, money is everything. And what we did in the 1990s is we started using non-governmental organizations. We'd set up these civic societies, these groups for furtherance of democracy, and then we would fund them through various fronts like the National Endowment for Democracy, which in 1983 was created to take over the covert political action functions of the CIA and make it more overt. The US Congress created it, funneled money to it. There's a democratic branch, there's a Republican branch they filter money in. (26:28) The whole idea is again, to create fund, so-called democratic institutions that will lead to the restructuring of a society the way we want it to be restructured. The United States did that in Ukraine in 2014 with the, well, well, we did it before that. If you remember back in the early two thousands, we did a color revolution in Serbia. It was a very successful color revolution, and so we use that as a template that would then repeat it in Georgia, and then we repeated in Ukraine, remember 2004, 2005, the Orange Revolution. What a lot of people don't realize is that we were actively trying to do a color revolution in Russia in 2007, 2008. Why that time period? Again, I don't want to bore people, but this is very important. Vladimir Putin became president end of 1999. He won an election in March of 2000 constitutionally. (27:24) He got to run for two terms, those two terms. It became clear that he was not going to continue the Yeltsin policy of doing whatever the United States wanted to be done, that he was going to try to reform Russia in a Russian image, which we didn't like. So we were pouring money into Russia through these non-governmental organizations for the purpose of carrying out a color revolution in 2007, 2008. The way we were going to do it is in 2007 was the parliamentary elections. The idea of that 2007, 2008 period was that Putin couldn't stand a third term as president, so he was going to do a swap with Dmitri Veev, who at that time was the prime Minister. So Putin was going to become prime minister. Veev would become president, but for this to happen, United Russia, which was Putin's party, had to win the parliamentary election. (28:10) If the opposition could deny United Russia the majority, then Putin couldn't become Prime Minister, and if Putin couldn't become Prime Minister, then vie was vulnerable as president and you could pick him off and suddenly you've swept Putin out of power. This is literally the stated objective of the United States, and we started pouring money into Russia to promote this. One of the guys that got caught up in this was a young lawyer named Alex Navalny. He started working, it's CIA all the way. Look, the CIA trained some people. One of them was this Y Guinea albo. She's a journalist, but she went to Harvard, got groomed by the CIA, whether she knew it or not, but she left the balling, went to Yale. Well, later on, yes, he went to Yale in 2010, but Allach comes in in 2004 and she sets up this political parlor. (29:05) Now she comes from Harvard, she got her PhD. She comes to Russia. The first thing she does is sets up this political parlor funded by British money coming from oligarchs funneled to her through British intelligence. And this parlor attracts these young people, including Navalny, and their job is to create a youth movement that can lead to a color revolution. That's his whole thing. Bottom line is it failed. It failed miserably. But Navalny was identified at that point in time as somebody with potentially started this anti-corruption campaign when mid became the president mid said, I'm against corruption. Naval went good. Let me help you. And he jumped on this thing. He got picked to go to Yale in 2010 where he was groomed by the CIA for what purpose. The next target was, okay, we couldn't stop Putin from doing the swap in 2007, 2008. What we can do now is keep mid in power. (30:01) We can prevent Putin from coming back into office in the 2012 presidential election. Remember Hillary Clinton working the opposition, Michael McFall going in there. It's a big deal. And the volume, he became the front man for this. He went to Yale. He got dipped in, greased by the CIA and he got sent back to Russia. He's a CIA asset, straight up funded by British intelligence trying to overthrow or prevent Putin from coming back in power. Well, what's that thing? If you don't start nothing, there won't be nothing. Don't start nothing. Won't be nothing. Well, Navalny, I mean, before he went to Yale, he spent a summer in Kiro, which is a province about 800 kilometers northeast of Moscow. He got involved in restructuring the timber business, and it looked like he might've done some things that weren't so good. Normally that would be ignored, but he comes back and he immediately starts attacking the interest, the economic interest behind United Russia and Putin. (31:04) And so you started something, okay? So they opened up a criminal case against him, and now you have this situation where Navalny is trying to make himself relevant. And look, he had some traction early on. He ran for Mayor of Moscow and he got 27% of the vote. That ain't bad, but he didn't have any traction outside of Moscow. He couldn't get the kind of numbers necessary to win, but he was a pain in Putin's side. So they started legal, this legal stuff against him, and it ended up in him being convicted of a fraud and embezzlement, some people call it politically motivated. There's no doubt it was politically motivated, but that doesn't mean that the crime didn't take place. He got a suspended sentence. He's on parole. Basically, they did this to keep him from running. They said, because you're convicted, you can't run for office. (31:52) Something needed to happen. And so in 2020, he was poisoned, but he wasn't. Again, I don't want to get too much down the conspiracy track, but let me just put it this way. His medical records clearly show that he wasn't poisoned by Novak. This was a setup to get him out of Russia where he had been effectively neutered over into a safe area, and we know that he landed in Germany, he was flown into Germany, had a miraculous recovery by December. He wait a minute, had a miraculous recovery from Nova Chuck, which from my understanding is one of the most dangerous nerve agents created. I've read. It's so dangerous. It really can't even be used. The story was that he was poisoned at the airport. They poisoned his tea before he got on the plane. No, no. They poisoned his underwear in his hotel room. (32:45) No, no. But wasn't that afterwards, because the story changed. The story changed a couple of times. That's my point that they said that they poisoned his tea in the airport. If I understand it, if you were to put Nova chuck in a cup of tea damn near everybody, at least in that area of the airport would be dead. Then they said, oh, they poisoned his water bottle on the plane. Nobach is so toxic that if they had done that, everybody including the pilot would be dead. Then they poisoned his underwear. The story kept, and this is also interesting to me, is that during all of these changing of the stories, Russia kept saying, send us the toxicology report so that we can investigate this. No toxicology report was ever presented. Yeah, again, I'm not a big conspiracy guy. I don't like it. I am Hamm's razor kind of person. (33:48) But the problem is, CCAM razor points to this because we did get the toxicology, not the ones that the Germans and everybody were saying prove Novare, Wilma, you're a hundred percent right. This is the most deadly substance on the planet, but apparently it can't kill anybody. And by the way, whatever the new name of the kgp is, they're pretty good at assassinating folks as is the ccia. A, if they want you done, cancel your distance and cancel your five bullets. Five bullets in the front of your body tends to do it. You don't have to mess around with Novak. Okay? Yeah. I mean, just look. A Ukrainian pilot, a Russian pilot defected earlier this year to Ukraine and had two of his crew members killed as a result. I mean, he's a murderous traitor in the eyes of the Russians. They just found his body in Spain with five bullets pumped into the front of it. (34:45) That's how the Russians get you. They don't go around doing this Novak stuff. But the point is this Nozek was a manufactured event. It didn't happen. What the German doctors who treated him released the blood work and everything. It showed that Navalny had a whole bunch of different health issues, some serious health issues, and he was also, they found evidence of antidepressants, which is okay. I'm not attacking him, it's not a problem, but it looks like he deliberately overdosed on antidepressants to generate the result that happened so he could be flown out. This was a pre-planned event. I just want everybody to understand that, that Navalny deliberately overdosed on antidepressants to generate a medical crisis that then got him flown out of Russia, because remember, he's on house arrest. He can't leave, but they got him out. What's the first thing that happens after his miraculous recovery? (35:42) They fly him to Germany to a CIA safe house where a film crew comes in and they produce two feature length documentaries in one month, one month, including elaborate computer generated graphics, the whole thing. He claims that he came up with the idea while he was recovering from his and wrote it in a feverish in October, November. Wilmer, I've made a documentary and I'm making one right now. I can guarantee you they didn't get it done in a month. This was prepackaged by the CIA and British intelligence. And then he was, everybody's saying, stay in Germany. And he went, no, I'm going back. Why? Again? In 2021, these election cycles matter. In 2021, Putin was going to change the Constitution so that he could continue to run for office, and he changed the length of the term from four years to six years. He was restructuring the government and everybody who was anybody, including myself, looked at it and went, he's basically guaranteeing that the West will never subvert Russian democracy by doing this. (36:49) He's iron proofing it, bulletproofing it. So the last chance to get rid of Vladimir Putin was to disrupt this effort. Navalny was picked as the guy to do it. Navalny job was to go back to Russia stand trial, and while he's standing trial, they're going to release these documentaries. The first one was called Putin's Palace, which was supposed to expose the corruption of Putin and everything, and the idea that it would generate so much unrest inside Russia that Navalny would be acquitted, put in, become the presidential candidate to oppose Putin. That was the dream. The problem is the people coming up with that didn't understand that Navalny had no support in Russia, never could never get it outside of Moscow. You couldn't get 5%. You might get 12% in Cabo, but that's it. You're not going to win election with 12% support. The numbers I saw for him was about somewhere between two and 5%, more on the 2% side. (37:44) Nationwide, like I said, there's certain bubbles in there where you could get support, but nationwide, he wasn't going anywhere on this. So he goes back and the Russians, what's that? Don't want nothing. Don't start nothing. The Russians know exactly what's going on. I mean, look, Pesco, who's the pre spokesperson in October of 2020, he said, we know what's going on. Navalny is working with the CIA. We know this. We know everything. So they brought him back and they knew what his plan was. They knew what he was supposed to do. So they quickly turned just really quickly because that's what President Putin said to Tucker Carlson when he talked about it's good that you applied to the CIA and that they did not accept you. He was sending a message. I know who you are. I know what you do. Yeah, well, so here's the deal. (38:39) The Russians said, we're not playing this game anymore. We've letting Navali do this stupid stupidity because he's irrelevant. But now you're playing, playing a serious game of messing around with our democracy. So we're just going to end it. The vol, the hammer's coming down, boom, nine years, boom, 30 years, you're in jail for life. Goodbye. Get out of here. Now they did that, and then a lot of people just came out and Bill. Then the Russians turned around and said, okay, we know he's your spy. Do you want him back? We'll trade him for a guy that we want back from Germany. Now, here's the part that gets conspiratorial two days before he died, minute before you get there. Isn't there also footage of Navalny or one of his representatives, but I think it's him talking Tom, I six, about money, about how much money he's going to need to sustain this democracy movement in Russia. (39:38) 2012, Navalny deputy met with a member of MI six in Moscow. Again, how did they get the video? Because the Russians know everything. I mean, when people are sitting there going, Evan Sitz isn't a CIA spy. He couldn't be. I just want to tell you right now, ladies and gentlemen, the Russians have him on film talking about this, about receiving the documents. It's conspiratorial. Putin was very clear about it. He's a CIA spy and Navalny, the Russians know who was paying for him. They know this. So they're sitting there going, we want to give them back. But that's the last thing. The ccia A wants. Why? Because then they have to admit that we're messing around in Russian politics politic. They can't. So this is the part that, this is what I firmly believe, because I believe that Navalny was induced by his handlers to deliberately overdose on depressants in 2020 to get him out, to get involved in the CIA operation to come back in and disrupt the election. (40:37) That is clear. Two days before he died, he was visited by his lawyer. Some people say that his wife was there as well, and they brought medication that's documented. Have you seen Godfather two so many times? I can't tell you how many Freddy five fingers. Freddy. Five fingers. Okay, so Tom goes to talk to Freddie five fingers. You just take a nice warm bath, you slit your words, nice warm bath, open up your veins with the woman. The family will be taken care of, throws the cigar away, shakes his hand, and it's understood. Navalny daughter got a free ride to Stanford courtesy of Michael McFall. Navalny wife now has been appointed. I mean, she was at the Munich Security Conference ready to step in before he died. He died. The script comes in, boom. She's now the new figure of the opposition. She's not tainted by crime. (41:32) She's at Navalny. That's a headline in the Washington Post today. Yeah, she's the new face of the opposition because Navalny had been neutered by the Russians, but as long as he was alive, he was a problem for the CIA. So Freddy five fingers, that's all I'm going to say. He was told Your family will be taken care of. All they have to do is lie in the tub and open up my veins, and it's a quiet, painful day. He overdosed on the drugs they gave him. He went for a walk and he died, didn't come back. His family's taken care of, and that's what I believe happened. I believe that the CIA knocked this guy off in prison. He took a long walk on a very short pier. Yeah. (42:20) So you've got Alexander the Butcher, sarky Ky, the commander of Ukraine's Ground forces. Since the start of the military operation, he is now the new military chief after Emir, Zelensky replaced zany in this leadership shakeup. What does that tell us at this stage of the game? What does that type of move tell us? Are they transitioning now to another phase of this process, recognizing that the war is lost? Again, everything has to have a setup because nothing happens in a vacuum. Ukraine is called the greatest democracy in the world. We know that's not true, but it's called the greatest democracy in the world by America. We overthrew it in 2014. Yes, we would know. But the key aspect of democracies is civil military relations, meaning that the civilian is the commander in chief, and the military always obeys the orders. Let's look at American history. (43:32) George McClellan, Abraham Lincoln McClellan was the commander of the army of the Potomac, and he thought he knew how to win this war, and Abraham Lincoln disagreed and fired him. And McClellan said, sir, yes sir. And he resigned because civil military relations, that's what you do. McClellan went on to challenge Lincoln in the elections and lost, but he didn't launch a coup. That's not what you do. Douglas MacArthur, during the Korean War thought he knew how to win the war, wanted to drop atomic bombs on China. Harry Truman said, Nope, that's not how we're going to do it. And they met in Midway, and Truman fired him, and MacArthur went, sir, yes sir. And he resigned. That's what civil military relations supposed to be in a democracy. Zelensky met with zany, who's the commander of the Ukrainian Armed forces, and he said, I don't like the fact that you're articulating policy that goes against what I want. (44:31) I want to be more aggressive. I have to go out and sell this conflict to the West, and I have to sell it, that we're going to regain all the lost territory. And you, as the general is supposed to say, sir, yes, sir, but you've gone out and given interviews behind my back saying it's a frozen conflict, a stalemate. I can't do that. You're fired and solution. He said, no, I'm not. And Zelensky went. Zany said, not only am I not fired, but here, let me show you this. Here's my picture. Given a medal to a right sector, Nazi from the organization, said, they're going to hang you from the deck, and if you ever go against this, and behind me is a picture of step on Bandera and the right sector flag. Go ahead and fire me now. Zelensky, you're a dead man walking. (45:14) And when Zelensky started calling people up saying Aslu saying no, one of the people he called up was Ky, who said, I just want to tell you right now, Mr. President, myself and the entire Ukrainian general staff support slu, you fire 'em. We come marching, it's over. And now Victoria Newland, and everybody's back there going, can't do this, guys. We're supposed to be giving 64 billion to the world's greatest democracy. We're against coups, and you're getting ready to launch a coup. She flies in panic, and so she cuts a deal. She explains to everybody, if you do this coup, we can't support you. It's over, and then you're all going to die. And the generals realized that, and they went, yeah, we understand that. Zelensky realized that. So zany stepped aside, Zeki took over, but understand what happened. It's a coup. There's one man in charge of Ukraine today, and his name is not Mir Zelinsky. (46:07) His name is Ky. He's the commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and they're calling the shots. How do we know this? Because within days of him coming in, he said, we're going over to the general defensive. He's calling the shots. Zelinsky said, we'll never leave at vca. KY came and said, get 'em out. Pull 'em out, red, destroy the line. We're going to be pulling back the military's in charge. And now you have some interesting things because the coup we didn't want to happen may happen because the nationalists are all upset. And there's talk about driving on Kiev right now. The Nazi nationalists are you're talking about, yeah, the Nazis, the N right sector guys who became Ovv, who now have renamed themselves. They're the third assault brigade, and everybody's going, there's no Nazis in Ukraine because there's nothing called the Azov, except the Nazis are so stupid. (47:03) They say, nah, third of assault brigade we're azo. And they do it right on camera, seeling all this kind of stuff in the West, everywhere. Oh, no, we don't want to see this guy's just calling himself the third assault brigade. But no, the Nazis are there. They're upset. It's a mess right now. But America, I'm just telling everybody's this, right? There was a coup deta in Ukraine. The generals are in charge. Zelinsky is a figurehead right now, but the people calling the shot is the military. Now, that's a new reality. I just want to quickly take a step back and to the point you were making about Navalny, to those that think what you're saying is fanciful and crazy, the United States did a similar action. They didn't kill him, but they did a similar action in Venezuela with Juan Gudo. The United States told the world that Juan Gudo was the president of Venezuela, even though Nicholas Maduro is the democratically elected president. (48:11) And when Gudo failed, now the United States is trying to do the same thing with a woman named Marina Machado, and she has been convicted by the Venezuelan Supreme Court as having worked with, I think it's Peru, against the interests of Venezuela. So the Venezuelan Supreme Court said, because you've gone outside the country and tried to overthrow this government, you are no longer qualified to be a candidate for president. The United States is trying to ignore the, dictate the decision of the Venezuelan Supreme Court and put this woman in place. Anyway, I bring that up just to show that what you have talked about in terms of, now I forgot the guy's name, Naval, Naval, Navalny, the United States is doing this in doing this, a number of places, and Venezuela is the most recent. But yeah. How about President Diem in Vietnam? Well, we can go for people going, well, this is fanciful. (49:19) This is out of a guys. We do it all the time. All the time. When leaders become inconvenient to the Sharan, the Sharan, the Sha Saddam Hussein. I just want to remind people, one of the more interesting, I was involved with a lot of defectors, Iraqi defectors in my time as a UN weapons inspector, and one guy that I interviewed many, many times was Wafi Samara. He was the head of military intelligence for Saddam. He ended up being in London and run by the Brits. So I'd go there and the MI six would take you to a safe house, and Wafi would come in and we'd have long conversations, and I tried to extract information from him that could lead to good inspections. But he just sat there and he talked about how the US intelligence would fly in, because the place I wanted to inspect was a specific office with a specific safe. (50:13) And he said, Hey, when you're in that safe, if you go down to this drawer, boom, you might find some photographs that you recognize. And I said, whatcha talking about? He goes, that's where we kept the American Spy satellite photographs that were given to us by American Intelligence officers who came in and sat in that conference room right next to it. You'll see it when you go in there. I did. And we met there, and they would brief us on the spy satellites, give us the newest signals, intelligence laying out the Iranian ground forces, and they helped us plan the chemical weapons attacks against the Iranians in 1988 and afa. We had this wonderful relationship. He gave me the names of all the guys that he worked with. What I'm trying to say is, ladies and gentlemen, there was a time in 19 88, 19 89, where Saddam was our boy. (50:58) US intelligence was there. Then Saddam became inconvenient. He fired scud missiles at Israel, which is a capital crime, and we ended up going to war removing them and having him hung by the neck until dead because his continued survival would've been inconvenient for America. Let me just make it as clear as this. Navalny had become inconvenient because the Russians were sitting on, the Russians never go public about anything, and their words mean everything. And when Pesco said, in October of 2020, we know what the CIA is doing, the cia, we know who he's working with. We know what's happening. It meant they know. They know everything. They have all the financials, they have all the videotapes, they have everything. And the US knew it too. That interview with Tucker is very telling. He said, I'm not going to talk to Biden. There's really nothing for me to say, but he says, our special services are talking. (51:58) They're talking the language of the special services. Having been in the special services and engaged in those kinds of conversations, they're very frank, because we don't have to play games. When you sit down with somebody and they know what your background is, we don't have to pretend. We talk about human recruitment, we talk about technical surveillance, we talk about the tools of the trade, we talk about the language that we know is going on. And so when the special services of Russia sit down with the special services of the CI and say, we know exactly what you guys did. You met here, boom, boom, boom. We got the goods. He's your boy. Do you want him back? And the CIA went, Nope, we don't want him back. We're going to have a lawyer visit him. And again, it may sound something like that, a movie. (52:40) But remember, Hollywood gets its greatest cues from reality. Frank Pan, angel, Freddy, five Fingers, Freddy, five Fingers baby. Favorite scene in the world. And it's real. I mean, I'm giving away my article, but I'm writing an article that this is going to be explained in great detail, and I talk about Freddy Five Fingers. So the next point here that I want to get to with you quickly is Mike Turner, Republican of Ohio, chair of the House Intelligence Committee. He's warning that Russia may be developing a space-based weapon that could target US satellites. And a lot of the narrative that's surrounding what he said over last weekend is that now Russia has violated, there were some treaties I think signed in the mid eighties that the countries agreed that they would not militarize space. But what seems to be left out of this conversation is that I think when the United States announced the Space Force that was militarization of space, therefore the treaty that they now want to wrap themselves in and call foul based upon, really the United States has already violated it. (54:00) So go ahead. Well, the treaty is the 1967 treaty, the outer space Treaty 67. Okay? And it talks about, it doesn't say demilitarization. What it says is that space should be used for exclusively peaceful purposes and that nobody should deploy nuclear weapons in the space. Now, what Turner has to show the stupidity of Mike Turner and these people. Apparently there's raw intelligence. That's the term that's used, and that's an important phrase. Finished intelligence is when I collect information, I corroborate it with different sources. You connect the dots, I connect the dots. That's right. Bingo. Good job, Wilmer. And you connect the dots, and then you write up an assessment that it's fact-based. But here's the important thing. You disguise the sources of information because if you're going to release finished intelligence to a congressman or Congress, they do what politicians do. They talk. They bring in somebody, Hey, read this. (55:05) You're not supposed to write about it, but wink, wink, read this. And they go, oh my God, the Russians are going to put a nuclear weapon in space. What are we going to do about it? Okay, finished. Intelligence gets leaked all the time. Everybody does it. The president on down. It's just the name of the game in Washington dc. Raw intelligence though, is almost never leaked. Why? Because raw intelligence means we haven't protected the source. So Turner released raw intelligence. He released a raw intelligence report to Congress. He put it in the reading room and said, everybody needs to come and read this thing. Now, a lot of people did, a lot of people didn't, but it created a storm because he issued a public statement, which means the media now, because he knows how the game's played. Now, every reporter worked their salt in Washington. (55:55) Dcs found their congressional sourcing. What the hell is on that report? And people started talking. So what we do know now is that the Russians are developing an anti-satellite capability that incorporates a nuclear device designed to generate an electromagnetic pulse that can shut down all of our satellites in outer space. Now, why is this important? Understand this. Turner released his report on Wednesday, knowing that on Thursday, the gang of eight, four senators, four Republicans from the Intelligence Committee, the leadership was going to meet with the White House National Security Council about this very report and talk about it. So why would you release it when they're already going to talk about it? What are you trying to do? (56:42) On Wednesday, the day he released his report, SpaceX sent up a Falcon Nine rocket with two satellites. These satellites were experimental missile monitoring satellites, part of a constellation of satellites that the United States started deploying last year. We deployed 28 of them last year. It's going to be a constellation of hundreds. It's sort of like a militarized starlink. And the purpose of this constellation is give America total control over the informational domain. That means that we communicate faster, we navigate, we can target, we can collect. We've militarized space. And the Russians have said, they've written reports to Secretary General saying, Hey, this is a violation of the outer space treaty. You're militarizing space. You're creating an advantage at a time when you say you want to strategically defeat Russia, remember, that's the American objective. And the Russians are saying, if you do this, you could launch a first strike against us, and we might not be able to respond. (57:45) You're getting a unilateral advantage here, and if we do go to war, you're going to have this total control over intelligence, collection, communications, et cetera, that gives you an operational and tactical advantage. We can't allow this to happen. So what the Russians did is they developed a weapon. They haven't deployed it yet, but it's a weapon that it will go up. And in one winding flash of a moment, that doesn't threaten any life here in America. It's not like they're going up there with a giant dirty bomb. It's going to be a neutron type device, a small device that's geared towards emitting radiation, the pulse, and it's going to blind the entire in an instant shut down this entire satellite network. But here's the important thing. From Turner's perspective, the entire American military approach to war depends on this. If we don't have this satellite thing, we put talk about putting all the eggs in one basket, we have literally put all the eggs in one basket. (58:44) Everything we do depends on this. If you shut that satellite network down, ladies and gentlemen, we can't go to war. We can't go to war. It's over. And Turner knows it. So what Turner's trying to do is say, guys, why are we investing all this money? This is going to go on for years when we know the Russians can undo it. This is stupid. We need to either get involved in arms control to prevent this from happening, or we need to come up with a backup plan because these satellites ain't going to work the way you want 'em to work when you want 'em to work. That's noble. But here's the problem. He released raw intelligence, which means the Russians now know how we collected it, and at a time when we need to have continued access to this stream of reporting. Now more than ever, let's imagine that the president says, Hey, what are the Russians up to today on that satellite thing, the thing we've been monitoring, you guys came to me and you said, Hey, boss, we put a, I don't know how they did it. (59:49) We tapped a cable and now we're listening to the conversations of these guys. Oh, wow, that's cool. Okay, but boss, we can't talk about, we can't mention the following words because if we mention the following words, the Russians will know what conversation we listen to, and then they'll stop communicating. Well, raw intelligence gives you those words. It wasn't finished product. Mike Turner compromised his source. We will never listen to them again at a time when we actually need to be monitoring this to come up with a strategy. Remember, let's say we want to do the right thing for once in our pathetic lives as Americans, and we say, maybe it's time we do engage in meaningful arms control. This is when we need to know what Russian intent is. How far along are they? Are they going to deploy this? Is this something that the Russians are doing to get to the negotiating table, or is this something that the Russians are going to keep, no matter what, what's going on, it affects our negotiating strategy. (01:00:44) We don't know now because Mike Turner released the raw intelligence to do an honorable thing to get people, he knew that they were going to sweep it under the rug. He knew that the Gang of eight and the White House were just go, Nope, we're not going to worry about this. We're going to keep deploying the satellites. And he's going, that's stupid. But now we are blind. And that's why I call it Turner's folly. I mean, trying to do the right thing. He did the absolute wrong thing. And now at a time when we need to have this intelligence, it's not there. I know there's a lot of people out there that thinks intelligence is a bad word, and it's been misused throughout history. There's no doubt about that. But I'm here to tell you right now that collecting information of this nature is absolutely essential to the national security of the United States because you want our leaders to be informed about the potential threats that exist around the world. (01:01:32) And there's a need for intelligence, not Iris. I'm not talking about violating American constitutional rights. I'm not talking about, I'm saying there's a need for people like me who did it honorably. It's a tough job. It's a dangerous job. Sometimes you have to do things that you wouldn't want to talk about at the PTA, but it's the reality of the world that you have to go out there and you have to get this information so that your leaders are informed so they can make the right decisions. And Mike Turner has cost us that information at a time when we desperately need it. Final question for you. And that surrounds nato and Donald Trump's comments about nato, and there seems to be an awful lot of furor about his talking about defunding NATO and all this kind of stuff, when all that I can read and understand is that NATO is now really obsolete and that it's a money laundering scheme. (01:02:26) Yeah, let me put it this way. There's a foreign minister of Lithuania Landsburg out there, and he's, I mean, Lithuania, the Baltic countries, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, they're making a lot of noise right now about Article five and how it's essential that NATO must come to the collective defense. But Lithuania is talking about, for instance, blockading Coing grad, the Russian enclave on the Baltic Sea. They're talking about sanctions. They're talking about a whole bunch of stuff that could lead to a war with Russia. And they're saying, that's okay because we're nato, and NATO will protect us. (01:03:05) The American people need to understand that Lithuania has a population of 2.8 million. The greater East Coast megapolis from Boston to Washington DC is 50 million people. Do you really think that we're going to sacrifice 50 million people to defend 2.8 million people who are kicking a hornet's nest right now? The answer is no. And that's the bottom line about nato. The American people are waking up to the fact that NATO is not about defending Europe from the evil Russians, NATO's a suicide pill. Because you have nations like Poland, you have nations like Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, that think that because they have this NATO shield behind them, they can behave aggressively to Russian and not have any consequence to it. If they start a war against Russia and a blockade of Coing, grad is an act of war, Russia will respond militarily. And now if you're Joe Biden, it's a sacred thing. (01:04:04) Every inch of NATO soil is sacred. Article five is a sacred, no, it's a suicide pill. It's a trap having poodles trying to get the rottweilers to fight. NATO is an organization that has outlived its usefulness. Donald Trump, he's not the most eloquent person or the most articulate person. And there's a lot about him that just cannot be supported 100%. But I'll tell you right now, he's speaking the mind of many Americans when he says, we ain't doing this anymore. We're not paying your bills. We're not going to be there for you. When you want to kick a hornet's nest. We don't want to get stung. So you're on your own, and that's what's going to happen. I am predicting that nato, it may not last 10 years. It's out. It's on its way out because it's, here's the thing. Remember we talked about mobilization at the beginning? (01:04:56) We talked about mobilization. It's funny to watch the schizophrenia that exists in people like Jan Stoltenberg who stutters his way through everything. Russia is evil, and we must must stand up through Russia. NATO must do, but we cannot afford to mobilize right now. We have no money. Our industry is no longer working, and we don't, but America will pay for it because NATO is a, I mean, it's going back and forth. NATO can't mobilize right now because they don't have the industrial base to mobilize. Not only that, nobody wants to be part the British who are out there. Boris Johnson doing that ridiculous thing. Lance Corporal Johnson reporting, sir, we're going to mobilize the people. First of all, Britain has two aircraft carriers. They built for, I forget how many billions of dollars they can't get out of port because they don't work. They build a whole bunch of new frigates, brand new modern frigates to defend these aircraft carriers, but they don't have enough sailors. (01:05:51) So in order to get the sailors on these new frigates, they have to retire frigates that are still good. So they're military. We're going to fight the Russians. I mean, you hear this British general, we're going to be on the front lines of the next war with Russia, with what? Your military's 72,000. Right now, you can't fill up a soccer stadium, and in five years it's going to be 56,000. Nobody wants to join the British military anymore. Nobody's joining the Navy. Nobody's joining anything because the youth of Europe don't believe in Europe. They don't believe they're not willing to give their lives for this pathetic little enterprise called Europe or nato. So all this talk about 300,000, this, that mobilize. It's all talk. And that's the good news is it's all talk. The better news is I think NATO's done because you used a word that's very important. And normally, as I said, I shy against conspiracies, but NATO's a money laundering scheme, that's all it is. It's an employment vehicle. I mean, I have to be careful. I have relatives that work for nato. They're not Americans, and thank God, I mean, one's married to my sister. So I like the fact that he has a paycheck. It keeps my sister fed and a roof overhead. (01:07:07) But the jobs not a real job. None of NATO's a real job. It's just an employment vehicle for a political economic elite that automatically fallen on these ES because that's what NATO is. It's a sinecure for people just to sit there and collect a paycheck doing nothing. If I have the chance to speak to President Biden, and I know he watches the show regularly, I would have to ask him about the sanctity of NATO that he holds so near and dear, if you believe in NATO to the degree that you do, Mr. President, why did you engage in an act of war as in blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline? Why did you engage in an act of war against a NATO country that being Germany? Because by doing so, article five, the other NATO countries are supposed to respond to Germany's defense in a manner in which they see fit. (01:08:10) So I guess the fact that they didn't respond means they didn't see a manner that they see fit. But I don't hear anybody asking that question. Why? If NATO is NATO and it's sacrosanct as it is, why did you engage in an act of war against a NATO member? That's my final question, Scott Ritter. Well, I mean, it's a great question, but here's even an equally relevant one. Why did the German chancellor stay silent at the press conference in February when the president said that if Russian and invade Ukraine, I'll take out Nord stream. And when he was asked the question, but it's German, how could you do that? It'll get done, I promise you. And Olaf Schultz is sitting there going, not saying a word, not saying a word. So how can you, I mean, the thing about Article five is it has to be invoked by the person attacked. (01:09:05) And Germany never once said, we've been attacked because they were there when it was designed. Olaf Schultz knew all along that this was going to happen because Germany's not a sovereign state. And that's the thing about NATO that people need to understand. It exists only for the United States. It's the exclusive tool of the United States. It exists to promote American national security interests. And this is why when you have Latvia and Poland now believing that NATO's there for their interest, no, it's not. NATO doesn't exist for anybody's interest, but our own. And as Europe wakes up to this reality, they're going to realize that we don't need to be part of NATO anymore because it doesn't benefit us. And there's a lot of talk now about a European security agency and things of that nature. Yeah, and President Putin asked, I thought, a very relevant as we look at, so people say, well, why did the United States blow up nato? (01:10:05) Well, I mean, blow up Nord Stream basically to de-industrialized Germany de-industrialized Europe, and have the Europeans start buying natural gas from the United States and other things. Putin during his speech said, well, you realize they didn't destroy the entire Nord stream pipeline. There is one pipe that can still transmit gas. Why don't you open that up? He said, there's the ability to send gas through Ukraine. Why don't you open that up? There's the ability to send gas through Poland. Why don't you open that up and haven't heard an answer? But that's, you want the best answer. Go ahead. I'll just say this. I grew up in Germany and the car that I loved, I was in love with the Porsche nine 11 SC Turbo, rough modified, and well, guess what's happening. Wilmer Porsche is moving its production to the United States. Michelin, the French Tire company. Michelin has shut down, I think two tire plants in Germany, and they're moving them. (01:11:15) I don't know where they're moving, but they're moving 'em out of Germany. I know that. Can you imagine a Porsche plant and a Michelin plant? I tell you what, there's going to be a new car in my driveway pretty soon. It's going to stay made in the USA on it, but that's what's going on. We've de-industrialized Europe to our benefit. And again, we come b

Film is zo veel meer dan plaatjes kijken. Geluid is misschien wel het meest onderschatte onderdeel van dit AUDIOvisuele medium. Hoog tijd om hier eens de nadruk op te leggen. En daar is een mooie aanleiding voor: het ijzingwekkende Holocaustdrama The Zone of Interest over de nazifamilie Höss die pal voor de poort van Auschwitz een luxe leventje leidt, draait niet zozeer om wat we zien, maar om wat we horen. Na een bespreking van deze opmerkelijke nieuwe film van Under the Skin-regisseur Jonathan Glazer, storten Gudo en John zich op een top 5 waarbij alles draait om het belang van geluid in de cinema. De podcast opent echter met een recensie van Poor Things. Emma Stone in haar beste rol ooit, Mark Ruffalo als een chronisch hitsige advocaat, een moderne twist op het klassieke Frankenstein-verhaal en dat alles behangen met seks; is deze voor 11 Oscars genomineerde satire nu al dé titel van 2024? 00:00 Introductie02:52 Recensie: Poor Things26:24 Recensie: The Zone of Interest54:59 Top 5: Bijzonder gebruik van geluid92:34 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

De Oscarnominaties zijn bekend en dat is, zoals eigenlijk elk jaar, aanleiding tot evenveel vreugde als irritatie. Want MovieInsiders-favorieten als Past Lives, Anatomy of a Fall en Killers of the Flower Moon mogen vertegenwoordigd zijn; waar zijn Margot 'Barbie' Robbie en haar regisseur Greta Gerwig? Waarom mag Leonardo DiCaprio, ondanks zijn mogelijk sterkste rol ooit, dit jaar niet meedoen? In deze podcast een bescheiden analyse. Ook recenseren Gudo en John de musicaladaptatie van The Color Purple, het Japanse juweeltje Monster en komen ze eindelijk toe aan het bewieroken van Alexander Paynes nieuwe tragikomedie The Holdovers. En na al dat terugblikken in de vorige twee shows wordt eindelijk eens vóóruit gekeken met de traditionele nieuwjaars-bioscooppreview. 00:00 Introductie04:17 Recensie: The Color Purple25:18 Oscarnominaties36:11 Recensie: The Holdovers46:54 Recensie: Monster58:07 Preview 202478:15 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy new (film)year! Vorig jaar kan natuurlijk pas echt worden afgesloten als de MovieInsiders hun awards hebben uitgereikt. Gudo moest helaas verzaken, maar John en Jasper geven wel hun gouden toiletpotten in de soms knotsgekke categorieën. Zoals de bloedworst voor de slechtste films van het jaar. Werther's Original voor wat over datum is, lolly's voor het lachen, kleenex voor het huilen. Wat waren de grootste verrassingen, teleurstellingen of niet je kopje thee? Prijzen dus waar de grote gerespecteerde awards jaloers op mogen zijn.Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2023 was op filmgebied het jaar van Barbenheimer, maar hoe vaak staan Barbie en Oppie in de Top 10 lijsten van Gudo, John en Jasper? Hoeveel geanimeerde reigers, monsters en spinnen-wezens vliegen er voorbij? Herinneren de MovieInsiders zich die ene vakantie, die gruwelijke geschiedenis, die ruzie op dat Ierse eilandje of die Franse rechtszaken? De heren rangschikken ze in hun Top 10 (of 11) Beste films van filmjaar 2023. Een aantal gasten leveren hun persoonlijke top 3 en tussendoor wordt het inmiddels traditionele "Raad je quote" quizje gespeeld. Geniet van deze lekker lange podcast waarvoor de boys elkaar eindelijk weer eens in levende lijve opzochten.

Voordat de feestdagen en het beste van filmjaar 2023 gevierd worden bezorgen Gudo en John nog een podcast met een flinke lading films om deze donkere dagen mee door te komen. Als de techniek je niet in de steek laat kan je bijvoorbeeld Netflix-hit Leave the World Behind aanzetten. Hoe beviel deze pulpy apocalyptische thriller? Gudo zag de jonge jaren van Wonka en Bradley Cooper in én als Maestro. Maar ook een buit aan Cannes-titels wordt besproken. Natalie Portman en Julianne Moore in May December, de gortdroge Finse romcom Fallen Leaves en het griezelig relevante The Old Oak van Britse veteraan Ken Loach. En zoals beloofd wordt moderne Kerstklassieker Love Actually opnieuw uitgepakt.

Terug van weggeweest: Gudo en John die als vanouds fileren, analyseren, jubelen en elkaar terechtwijzen. MovieInsiders dus, met ditmaal de spotlights op onder meer het dik 2,5 uur durende Napoleon van Gladiator-regisseur Ridley Scott. Een episch kolfje naar de hand van de man die als geen ander weet hoe Bonaparte en zijn geschiedenis te tackelen. Maar wacht, were Gudo en John not entertained? Misschien zijn ze enthousiaster over Wish, de langverwachte 'nieuwe' animatiefilm van Disney die een 100-jarig jubileum heeft te vieren. Dan mag je wat moois verwachten, toch? Ook in deze aflevering: bleef Gudo wakker bij de nieuwe Hunger Games, kreeg hij tijdens Hardcore Never Dies nostalgische gevoelens voor de met gabbergedreun gevulde jaren 90 en is hij eindelijk weer eens mild voor Marvel? En tot slot een korte bespreking van The Killer waarin Michael Fassbender een huurmoordenaar speelt die misschien toch minder stoïcijns is dan hij zelf in zijn eigen voice-over beweert te zijn. 00:00 Introductie02:25 Recensie: Napoleon22:02 Ook nog gezien: Hardcore Never Dies, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, The Marvels31:29 Recensie: Wish47:20 Recensie: The Killer58:41 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Killers of the Flower Moon is zowel een lust voor oog, oor en hersenpan als een aanval op het zitvlees. Maar na 3,5 uur heb je wel mooi het nieuwe meesterstukje van filmicoon Martin Scorsese op het grote doek gezien. Of adviseren de MovieInsiders toch even te wachten tot dit western-epos met Leonardo DiCaprio en Robert De Niro verschijnt op de streamingdienst van Apple? Het levert hoe dan ook een hoop gespreksstof op. Dat geldt überhaupt voor zo'n beetje alle Scorsese-producties. De regisseur staat dan ook centraal in de top 5 van deze podcast. Uiteraard staan de heren ook stil bij de Gouden Palm-winnaar Anatomy of a Fall. Hoe onderscheidt dit 'rechtbankdrama' met Sandra Hüller zich van zijn soortgenoten? En uit het horrorgenre: beleefde Gudo de tiende film uit de sadistische Saw-franchise als een martelgang en blijft er volgens John 50 jaar na dato nog wat over van de cultklassieker The Wicker Man die opnieuw in de bioscoop gaat draaien? 00:00 Introductie06:18 Recensie: Killers of the Flower Moon28:15 Recensie: Anatomy of a Fall43:22 Ook nog gezien: Saw X, The Wicker Man (1973)55:27 Top 5: Martin Scorsese81:03 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Terwijl in Hollywood in elk geval de acteurs nog altijd staken (Jasper praat ons weer helemaal bij), krijgt de cinefiel het één na het andere filmcadeautje voorgeschoteld. Past Lives bijvoorbeeld over twee Koreaanse jeugdvrienden die op volwassen leeftijd proberen te ontdekken of er nog iets van die oude kalverliefde is overgebleven. En Flora and Son van de Ierse Once-regisseur John Carney, over een alleenstaande moeder met een probleempuber die de gitaar ontdekt. Ook Nederland produceerde iets bijzonders: de koloniale satire Sweet Dreams met Renée Soutendijk won reeds 6 Gouden Kalveren. Een terechte buit? Gudo en John bespreken deze en nog veel meer titels (waaronder de nieuwe Exorcist) in een nieuwe MovieInsiders die weer eens uit z'n voegen barst van de kijktips. 00:00 Introductie06:41 Recensie: Sweet Dreams26:40 Ook nog gezien: The Creator, The Exorcist: Believer, Dumb Money36:17 Recensie: Past Lives54:55 Stakingen update60:21 Recensie: Flora and Son76:08 Ook nog gezien: No One Will Save You, Wes Anderson Roald Dahl shorts89:17 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

De MovieInsiders zijn terug van vakantie! Na de nodige rust, zonnestralen en zweetdruppels zijn de heren er met een volle podcast in het teken van veteranen. Gudo en Jasper richten hun vizier op de Nederlandse film De Vuurlinie van Michiel de Ruyter en Redbad-regisseur Roel Reiné. Hoe kwalijk is het mengen van feiten en fictie in dit verhaal over veteraan Marco Kroon? Genoten John en Jasper van het genadeloos Nazi's afslachten door de Finse voorvader van John Wick in Sisu? In de top 5 niet alleen maar zware kost over mannen én vrouwen na hun diensttijd. 00:00 Introductie en stakingen update08:23 Recensie: De Vuurlinie28:06 Recensie: Sisu42:33 Top 5: Veteranen79:07 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hoe bezeten zijn Gudo en John van de nieuwe Australische horrorhit Talk to Me? Daarin kunnen tieners middels een handdruk met een gebalsemde hand geesten oproepen om dat vervolgens uiteraard te filmen voor op TikTok. Een mooie double feature met de nu 50 jaar oude klassieker waarin een tienermeisje onvrijwillig de Duivel in haar huisvest. Vanwege het recente overlijden van regisseur William Friedkin en de sequel later dit jaar zagen de MovieInsiders het iconische The Exorcist opnieuw. Tussendoor komen er in Ook nog gezien titels voorbij met een blauwe kever, een prehistorische haai, gemuteerde schildpadden, maar ook meer verantwoord werk als het Canadese Riceboy Sleeps. 00:00 Introductie04:17 Recensie: Talk to Me18:26 Ook nog gezien: Blue Beetle, Meg 2: The Trench, Riceboy Sleeps, Joy Ride,          Gran Turismo, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem39:40 Klassieker: The Exorcist (1973)63:01 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hollywood is in crisis én viert feest. Net na de start van de gevreesde acteursstaking - MovieInsider Jasper geeft ons alle ins en outs - kopen we ineens massaal bioscoopkaartjes voor twee blockbusters die qua succes zelfs Tom Cruise licht doen blozen. Het mag inmiddels duidelijk zijn: 2023 lijkt het jaar van 'Barbenheimer'. De grap is dat deze trendy kreet twee wild uiteenlopende titels vangt. Gudo en John tackelen ze uiteraard allebei. Is Barbie met Margot Robbie als de beroemdste pop ter wereld en Ryan Gosling als Ken inderdaad het satirische meesterstukje waar ze op hoopten? En werden ze bij Oppenheimer met Cillian Murphy als de 'vader van de atoombom' weer een beetje verliefd op Christopher Nolan? Over zijn laatste film, Tenet, waren ze immers behoorlijk kritisch. 00:00 Introductie03:47 Recensie: Barbie28:55 Recensie: Oppenheimer51:52 Stakingen update61:04 Top 5: Bijzondere blockbusters90:51 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gudo en John duiken ditmaal diep in de wereld van Mission: Impossible. Uiteraard bespreken ze uitgebreid het zevende deel uit de franchise, Dead Reckoning Part One, waarvoor acteur Tom Cruise wederom zijn leven op het spel zette. Krankzinnig stuntwerk, hoe lekker ook, zijn we inmiddels ook een beetje van deze reeks gewend. Doet 7.1 (jawel, hij eindigt met een letterlijke en figuurlijke cliffhanger) meer dan de kijker 'slechts' spektakel van hoog niveau voorschotelen? En waarom smult iedereen überhaupt zo van deze filmserie? John bekeek ze nog eens allemaal en maakt de balans op. In de laatste akte van deze podcast stellen de MovieInsiders hun favoriete Mission: Impossible-avontuur samen door nóg dieper op alle hoogtepunten in te zoomen. Is het dan alleen Cruise wat de klok slaat? De heren zagen ook twee nieuwe animatieproducties en tackelen deze in een blokje 'Ook nog gezien...'  00:00 Introductie03:41 De franchise tot nu toe18:18 Recensie: Dead Reckoning Part One40:35 Stel je ideale Mission: Impossible-film samen54:59 Ook nog gezien: Elemental, Nimona64:08 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

De eerste reacties vanuit het filmfestival van Cannes waren vernietigend, maar is Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny écht zo'n fiasco? Na het vorige deel, The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, kan Indy's vijfde en laatste avontuur toch alleen maar meevallen? In hun recensie zetten Gudo en John alle plusjes en minnetjes op een rij. Na deze analyse horen we een interview dat Gudo had met één van de acteurs. Niet met Harrison Ford, Phoebe Waller-Bridge of Mads Mikkelsen, maar wel met een Hollander die zijn imposante torso mocht laten zien. Bodybuilder Olivier Richters vertelt over zijn pijlsnelle Hollywoodcarrière (hij zat ook reeds in Marvels Black Widow en blockbuster The King's Man), een knokpartij met één van dé iconen uit filmland en geeft luisteraars met vierkante ogen wat gespierd advies.  00:00 Introductie05:21 Recensie: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny30:10 Interview met Olivier Richters48:25 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Symmetrie, pastelkleurtjes, vintage-apparatuur en corduroyjasjes. Maar ook: dolende zielen die emotie maar iets engs vinden. Welkom in de wondere wereld van Wes Anderson. Gudo en Jasper staan in deze podcast niet alleen stil bij zijn nieuwe film Asteroid City, maar duiken dieper zijn diorama's binnen om de eigenzinnige regisseur te kunnen tackelen. Wat maakt zijn werk zo boeiend, waarom frustreert het soms en wie of wat hoort de kijker nu eigenlijk in zijn hart te sluiten? In de finale van deze aflevering wordt zelfs het vergrootglas erbij gehaald. Welke scènes vangen het enigma Wes Anderson het beste? En daarbij wordt bewust niet alleen ingezoomd op die oogverblindende decors. 00:00 Introductie03:57 Wat wil Wes Anderson eigenlijk van ons?23:50 Recensie: Asteroid City44:22 Top 5: Wes Anderson-scènes75:18 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wacht even, speelt Michael Keaton ineens weer Batman? Waarom zien we in één film zowel zíjn als Ben Afflecks versie van de man in het vleermuispak? En was dit niet het solo-avontuur van Justice League-lid Barrie Allen alias The Flash? Er valt een hoop te zeggen over de nieuwe superheldenblockbuster van DC Comics die de nerdcultuur viert als nooit tevoren. Pakt dat wat Gudo en Jasper betreft goed uit? Korte recensies in deze podcast zijn er verder van de nieuwe Transformers en de Nederlandse Netflix-romkom Oei Ik Groei en Jasper gaat langs de vele seriefinales van de afgelopen tijd voor hij ons nog eens bijpraat over de schrijversstaking in Hollywood. Gaan trouwens de Hollandse scenaristen nu ook al met protestbordjes over straat?00:00 Introductie05:15 Recensie: The Flash30:27 Ook nog gezien: Transformers Rise of the Beasts, Oei Ik Groei, Succession, Barry, Ted Lasso45:30 Schrijversstaking-update54:35 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

De MovieInsiders zijn heus niet vies van wat zelffelicitaties, zeker niet als het een jubileumaflevering betreft. Toch kiezen Gudo en John voor een onorthodoxe verjaardagsaanpak; deze nu 15 jaar oude show viert namelijk de grootste teleurstellingen die ze ooit ervoeren in het filmtheater dan wel de thuisbioscoop. Het werd gegoten in een Phantom Menace-top 5, een titel die de lading zou moeten dekken. Ook bespreken de heren opnieuw de film waar ze ooit in mei 2008 mee aftrapten. Is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull inmiddels in waardering gestegen? Maar eerst een recensie van Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse. Delen de hosts het bijna griezelige enthousiasme van vooral de nerdcultuur? 00:00 Introductie09:32 Recensie: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse28:59 Jee of Nee31:20 Rewind: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)53:33 Top 5: Grootste teleurstellingen96:06 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Terwijl de schrijvers in Hollywood staken hebben de MovieInsiders wel netjes hun huiswerk gedaan. Wist een schmierende Nicolas Cage als Dracula hen bij de les te houden in het wisselvallige Renfield? En wat voor rapportcijfer geven John en Jasper aan het Britse Blue Jean, over een lesbische gymdocente in de turbulente tijd van Thatcher? Gudo brengt zijn opstel over filmfestival Cannes langs en in de top 5 worden de meest memorabele leraren gerangschikt. 00:00 Introductie02:10 Recensie: Renfield16:45 Schrijversstaking update23:44 Recensie: Blue Jean37:40 Cannes verslag46:04 Top 5: Leraren78:13 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bij de naam Ari Aster veert de gemiddelde cinefiel direct op. Maar de meningen over de nieuwe film van de man achter moderne horrorklassiekers Hereditary en Midsommar zullen stevig uiteen lopen. Wat vonden Gudo en John van het absurdistische en drie uur durende Beau Is Afraid met Joaquin Phoenix als een hypochonder met een Oedipuscomplex? Ook geen korte film, maar inhoudelijk een stuk makkelijker verteerbaar is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. De MovieInsiders waren kritisch op de laatste paar Marvel-telgen; vielen ze wel als een blok voor dit afscheid van MCU-buitenbeentjes als de pratende wasbeer Rocket Raccoon en de pratende boom Groot? En deze show sluit af met een top 5 vol 'overambitieuze' filmtitels. Wat betekent dat begrip eigenlijk? 00:00 Introductie02:35 Recensie: Beau Is Afraid26:38 Recensie: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 340:45 Top 5: Overambitieus74:24 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Een podcast waarin het complete trio, hoewel opgeknipt, te horen is. Gudo en John buigen zich eerst over de zoveelste liveaction-remake van een Disneyklassieker. Ze begonnen met frisse moed aan Peter Pan & Wendy, want de regisseur van dienst is niemand minder dan arthouse-favoriet David Lowery van A Ghost Story en The Green Knight-faam. Kon hij zijn eigen pixie dust over deze film strooien of zat hij te strak aan de halsband van Disney? John en Jasper recenseren vervolgens Cairo Conspiracy, een spionagethriller over een student die verstrikt raakt in een machtsstrijd tussen de religieuze en politieke elites van Egypte. En in deze show worden meer vragen beantwoord. Was Evil Dead Rise smerig genoeg en moeten cinefielen zich zorgen maken over een nieuwe schrijversstaking? 00:00 Introductie04:17 Recensie: Peter Pan & Wendy20:27 Ook nog gezien: Evil Dead Rise, Goodbye Stranger29:13 Recensie: Cairo Conspiracy44:56 Schrijversstaking53:34 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gudo en John vieren op integere wijze hun MovieInsiders-reünie door de podcast te starten met een bescheiden drama barstensvol mededogen. Het Ierse The Quiet Girl gaat dan misschien over een verwaarloosd meisje, maar houdt de focus juist opvallend sterk op compassie. Was die gescoorde Oscarnominatie terecht? En Nederlandse oorlogsfilms zagen we eerder, maar ook Het Verloren Transport houdt het klein en gevoelig. Ook in deze aflevering: is The Super Mario Bros. Movie ook geschikt voor niet-Nintendofans, is Ben Affleck wel degelijk een goede acteur en wie moet wie spelen in een reboot van de Harry Potter-saga in serievorm? 00:00 Introductie03:32 Recensie: The Quiet Girl17:29 Ook nog gezien: The Super Mario Bros.

Gone With The Wind, Casablanca, Schindler's List...een filosofische actiekomedie waarin mensen uit parallelle universums elkaar te lijf gaan met dildo's en buttplugs? En toch, het moet raar lopen wil Everything Everywhere All At Once straks níet de belangrijkste Oscars pakken. Maar welke acteurs gaan er met een beeldje naar huis? Gudo en Jasper kijken in deze podcast vooruit naar de 95ste Academy Awards en delen hun voorspellingen. Maar niet voordat ze zich hebben gebogen over twee nieuwe bioscooptitels. Is To Leslie met de omstreden Oscarkandidaat Andrea Riseborough als een alcoholverslaafde moeder meer dan het zoveelste 'kruipen uit de goot'-drama? En zijn ook liefhebbers van John Grisham-verfilmingen aan het goede adres bij de opmerkelijke rechtbankfilm Saint Omer?00:00 Introductie05:47 Recensie: To Leslie25:02 Recensie: Saint Omer44:44 Oscarvoorspellingen85:33 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jasper en Gudo gaan net als vorige week met Aftersun op de analytische tour. Het voor zes Oscars genomineerde Tár, over een van grensoverschrijdend gedrag beschuldigde dirigente, leent zich dan ook uitstekend voor een diepgravend gesprek. Een milde spoiler-waarschuwing is hier wel op zijn plaats. De dirigente in kwestie wordt gespeeld door de Australische Cate Blanchett die bijna 100 rollen speelde en eigenlijk zelden teleurstelt. Tijd om haar oeuvre eens onder de loep te nemen met een top 5 waarin de heren inzoomen op Blanchetts meest indrukwekkende scènes. Ook in deze podcast: leent het schrijnende verhaal van de in 2010 overleden acteur Antonie Kamerling zich voor een pakkend drama?

Gudo en Jasper bejubelen en analyseren in deze aflevering het opmerkelijke regiedebuut Aftersun van de Schotse Charlotte Wells over een complexe vader-dochterband door de lens van even concrete als vage herrineringen. Waarom raakte dit coming-of-agedrama zo'n gevoelige snaar bij de heren? Omdat ze zelf een dochter hebben? De film is überhaupt een mooie aanleiding voor een top 5 waarin dit thema centraal staat. Maar er is meer te bespreken. Hoe kwam Andrea Riseborough aan haar verrassende en inmiddels veelbesproken Oscarnominatie voor To Leslie, moeten we ons zorgen maken om het ‘Marvel Cinematic Universe' en hoe krijgt een zombieserie het voor elkaar zijn publiek in tranen achter te laten?00:00 Introductie05:05 Recensie: Aftersun29:35 De Oscarcontroverse rond To Leslie met Andrea Riseborough35:14 Ook nog gezien: Causeway, The Whale, Cocaine Bear, Godland, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, The Last Of Us56:57 Top 5: Vader-dochterrelaties91:37 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

De Oscars staan voor de deur, overigens ook dit jaar weer gezellig mét Gudo en John te beleven in de Rotterdamse bioscoop LantarenVenster. De heren bespreken in deze podcast twee serieuze kanshebbers in de belangrijkste categorie 'Beste Film', waaronder Steven Spielbergs autobiografische vertelling The Fabelmans. Eén van de beste en bekendste regisseurs aller tijden die een ode brengt aan zichzelf? Betreft zijn nieuwe werk een egotrip, of doet hij meer dan het vieren van zichzelf en cinema in het algemeen? Ook het Ierse The Banshees of Inisherin met Colin Farrell wordt gerecenseerd met als hoofdvraag: is de plot niet te dun voor een boeiende speelfilm met Oscarpotentie? Omdat de MovieInsiders tijdelijk afwezig waren, passeren nog veel meer titels de revue, waaronder Magic Mike's Last Dance, Broker, Megan en het (zelfs voor John te bloederige?) Terrifier 2. 00:00 Introductie05:04 Oscarnominaties13:18 Recensie: The Fabelmans31:55 Recensie: The Banshees of Inisherin45:00 Ook nog gezien: Avatar - The Way of Water, Babylon60:31 Ook nog gezien: Magic Mike's Last Dance, Broker, Megan, Terrifier 271:24 VooruitblikSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/movieinsidersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ook terug van (te lang) weggeweest! De MovieInsiders Awards worden eindelijk weer uitgereikt. Allemaal leuk en aardig die Golden Globes of Oscars, maar er kan dit awards-seizoen natuurlijk niks op tegen de uiteenlopende, soms bizarre prijzen die Gudo, John en Jasper geven aan de films en vaklui van het afgelopen jaar. Wat dacht je van de Phantom Menace-award voor de grootste teleurstelling, de Citizen Kane-award voor nieuw talent, Lolly's voor de hardste lach en Kleenex om de tranen te drogen. Maar ook de Bloedworst voor de slechtste film, de Niet mijn kopje thee-award en niet te vergeten de Schaamhaar op de toiletpot.

De MovieInsiders knallen in een rode Saab met een Iraans gezin door een multiverse waarin alles kan. Ze rijden door bergen met windmolens en zien iets in de lucht, spotten stilstaande Viking-kinderen en spelen een spelletje met een houten pop en een knuffelbare panda. Onderweg stoppen ze in een chaotisch restaurant voor een kopje Zen-thee en een opmerkelijke pizza waar rijkelui van kotsen. Het moge duidelijk zijn: Gudo, John en Jasper bundelen in een spetterende show al het moois wat filmjaar 2022 te bieden had met hun top 10-lijsten, gastoptredens, feedback van luisteraars, mooie muziek en een leuke quiz.
