We also run away to the big top with Guillermo del Toro's noir thriller Nightmare Alley, and finish with the technicolour brain-melt that is The Amazing Digital Circus.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, three real-life friends broke into the Mexican and International film scenes and made their mark on the art form. Since then, Alfonso Cuarón, Guillermo Del Toro, and Alejandro González Iñárritu have delivered several masterpieces and won several Academy Awards. In this episode, we highlight three of the filmmaker's finest early works:We start with Alfonso Cuarón's breathtaking coming-of-age story, Y tu mamá también. Second, Guillermo Del Toro delivers a brilliant antifascist ghost story in The Devil's Backbone.Finally, Alejandro González Iñárritu's feature film debut is a breathless, gut-wrenching drama, Amores Perros. Let us know what you think of these outstanding films! ❗️SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE ❗️Support the showSign up for our Patreon for exclusive Bonus Content.Follow the podcast on Instagram @gimmethreepodcastYou can keep up with Bella on Instagram @portraitofacinephile or Letterboxd You can keep up with Nick: on Instagram @nicholasybarra, on Twitter (X) @nicholaspybarra, or on LetterboxdShout out to contributor and producer Sonja Mereu.

We're back! After our Guillermo Del Toro mini-series we're returning with the polar opposite of GDT's hopeful, community-driven cinema -- we're going sleazy, conspiratorial, and cynical (but still anti-American)! It's time for Brian De Palma's 1981 thriller, BLOW OUT!It's our first time talking De Palma, so we're breaking down his general cinematic approach and style before diving into where exactly BLOW OUT came from, and the power of a downer ending.It'd be impossible not to delve into voyeurism, Hitchcock, John Travolta's singing career, Nancy Allen & De Palma's marriage, and our complicated feelings on John "Mr Entertainment" Lithgow. Plus we're here to answer the age old question: is there a better cinematic setup scene than putting John Travolta on a bridge with an owl?Next time: back to Hong Kong for Johnnie To's gonzo superhero antics in THE HEROIC TRIO (1993)

Well, we've been gone for a lot longer than anticipated listeners and I've missed you! Thankfully it's been for a good reason. I've been off making some movies. There will be more news on that to come but let's just say that for fans of this podcast, these projects are right up your alley.We have a whole slew of horror masters and soon to be stars of the genre lined up for you as well as a few changes to the show including new segments with guest appearances putting a spotlight on new releases of movies, books, comics, video games and more so we're going to be gutsier than ever before.I want to take a moment to mention our Patreon. We sure could use your help keeping the show independent and bringing you even more in-depth conversations with horror's finest. As a thank you for your contribution we will be offering exclusive bonus content, prize packs filled with movies, book, autographed merch and more. You can find the link to our Patreon below or in our bio. Thank you for support!Now, let's get down to it.Our guest today wrote and directed what in my opinion, may be the most underrated movies in recent film history. I know the term “underrated” is often overused but certainly not in this case.Based on comic maestro Cullen Bunn's hit series “The Empty Man”, the film version came out in 2020 and was sadly overlooked. And folks, if you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and watch it NOW. I don't mind. Pause this and go watch it.What you will see is not only one of the most truly gripping, atmospheric, legitimately unnerving and beautifully made genre films in recent memory. It will also be one of those movies I promise you will want to talk to someone about as soon as the credits roll. This is a really important genre film.Joining me to discuss the film including the many ways in which is was so terribly mishandled by the studio system and the many other challenges that went into making “The Empty Man” is the films writer and director, David Prior.David and I discuss his vision for the film version of the comic, working with a great lead actor like James Badge Dale to craft a character who is never quite who he seems and what went so terribly wrong with the films release to the point that a movie made by a major studio with a reasonable budget as far as horror films standards go didn't even receive any sort of physical media release. That's right. Not even a barebones DVD. For fans of the movie, this episode may be the most insightful look into the film you can find as there's no commentary track with David or any of the extras we've become accustomed to when we want to learn about how a movie got made. And for those of  you haven't experienced the film yet, brace yourself. At one time we were one. We will all be one again. This message comes to you directly from… the empty man. Oh, and writer/director David Prior!Please show us your support at patreon.com/spillyourguts ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

This week, we dedicate our episode to the legendary Drew Struzan, the iconic artist behind some of the most memorable movie posters of all time. Struzan, whose work defined the visual identity of films like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Back to the Future, can no longer create due to his battle with Alzheimer's. Jeff and Sean take a moment to celebrate his legacy, discuss the documentary Drew: The Man Behind the Poster, and make the case for why real, human-created art needs to be protected.

It's the final instalment of our GDT In The GTA mini-series - hilariously one of the only films he did not shoot in Toronto - it's GUILLERMO DEL TORO'S PINOCCHIO from 2022!As our favourite of the two 2022 Pinocchio films, we're naturally discussing stop-motion animation in depth and learning how much of a nightmare it can be. We're also taking the opportunity to slag off AI, learn how quippiness goes bad, and finally identify the British version of M Emmet Walsh.GDT writes most of his movies because of his relationship with his father and this is very clearly no exception. We're picking up his cue to talk through the idea of individual responsibility in life and to their children, especially when it comes to fascism and war. Plus, we're here with a huge update from Erin's Dairy Corner.Join us as we choose our favourite puppets from the cast and rank our top 3 personal GDT films! You too will believe that Cate Blanchett is an elderly, abused monkey inspired by ... Joan Cusack!?Next time - it's time for the opposite of del Toro. That's right, time for some sleazy genre fare and we're looking at one of the best: Brian De Palma's BLOW OUT!

Week 3 of GDT in the GTA would like to offer you an egg in this trying time. It's the awards-darling moment of Guillermo Del Toro's career, and vindication for monsterf*ckers everywhere: 2017's THE SHAPE OF WATER!We're charting Del Toro's journey from the giant canvas of PACIFIC RIM to the intimately-scaled WATER, the original Creature from the Black Lagoon, and how you create a movie as a terrarium for a fishman. Naturally, we're praising all the performances--from Sally Hawkins' confidence to MIchael Shannon's incuriousity, Octavia Spencer's jokes to Michael Stuhlbarg's stuffed shirt, and Richard Jenkins' desparation to Doug Jones' toreador energy--but we're also discussing how consumerism of the 60's intersects with our antagonists, and how 'otherness' is portrayed by our heroes.Plus, we're playing ROOMMATE, TINDER DATE, OR BLOCK with classic monsters!Next time we wrap up our mini-series with GUILLERMO DEL TORO'S PINOCCHIO.

Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski run down titles you can get on physical media this week and, not gonna lie, there's a lot of baggage. There's the Mick Jagger film that say on the shelf for two years along with Lindsay Lohan's collaboration with Paul Schrader and William Friedkin's infamous Al Pacino murder mystery set within the gay community. Not to mention John Wayne playing Genghis Khan and the poor timing for an Eric Red horror film. But even controversy can be put aside for cinema sunshine. You can now get Milos Forman's Mozart film in its original theatrical incarnation. Maybe you don't even remember the issue parents had with one of the loveliest coming-of-age films of the ‘90s. And why would you say anything controversial about Carol Reed's masterpiece? All that plus Guillermo Del Toro's debut and the genius of poking fun at documentaries on this week's Blu-ray show. 0:00 – Intro 3:13 - Criterion (Performance 4K, Cronos 4K) 22:43 - Vinegar Syndrome (The Joy of Sex, Virtuosity 4K, The Canyons) 48:18 - Arrow (Cruising 4K) 1:05:54 - Kino (The Conqueror, Graveyard Shift 4K, Body Parts 4K) 1:24:14 - Sony (My Girl 4K) 1:37:39 - LionsGate (The Third Man 4K) 1:44:22 - Warner (Amadeus 4K) 1:55:51 – New Television on Blu-ray (Noble House, Documentary Now: The Complete Series) 2:01:01 - New Theatrical Titles On Blu-ray (Hard Truths) 2:05:13 – New Blu-ray Announcements

Chris and Alex delve into the stop-motion world of Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (Guillermo del Toro & Mark Gustafson, 2022) for Episode 152 of the podcast, joined in this discussion of loss, love, control, and craft by musicologist and animation historian Dr Lisa Scoggin. Lisa is an expert in animation and its relationship to music, publishing widely on everything from United Productions of America (UPA) to Cartoon Saloon, and with expertise that covers film and television music, ludomusicology, and twentieth-century American and British art music. Topics include where Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio fits within Hollywood's growing stop-motion renaissance; puppetry, agency, monstrosity, and the “terrible joy” of Pinocchio's creation; the film's wartime context and contribution of its Fascist imagery to images of collective national trauma; Geppetto's narration and twice-told tales foregrounded as memory; the ‘lyrical' role of lullabies and folk songs in depicting Pinocchio's self-growth; and what del Toro's film tells us about how things that take time to build can be destroyed in an instant. **Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo** **As featured on Feedspot's 25 Best London Education Podcasts**

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today's guest is the amazing Rob Kazinsky. Rob and I have never worked together, but we've been in the same circles for years and it was such a pleasure to sit down and talk with him! You know Rob from his time as Sean Slater on EastEnders, and from playing Chuck Hansen in Pacific Rim and Orgrim in Warcraft. And now, he is fulfilling my dream and joining the Stark Trek universe. You can currently see him as Zeph in Section 31! We talk about the new movie and the controversy it's stirring up among the Star Trek faithful. We also just talk about life, including Rob's autism diagnosis and how he has weathered some challenging moments over the course of his career. I was surprised at how deep we got in such a short time, and I think you'll enjoy this conversation! Be sure to stick around for the Hindsight, where producer Jeph and I discuss the episode and open up the Mail Sack for some fan emails.

It's the first regular episode of the new year, and a first in our winter series: GDT In The GTA. The next couple of weeks are all about Papa Cinema himself, Guillermo Del Toro, and what better place to start than his self-professed "first" movie, 2001's THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE! (aka EL ESPINAZO DEL DIABLO)Before getting into the movie proper, we're setting the table for our mini-series by covering the highlights of GDT's life in the lead up to BACKBONE, his outlook on creativity and antifascism, and how lapsed Catholics and atheists are not the same thing.We're discussing at length how he successfully ties together seemingly disparate elements of the gothic horror subgenre, themes of solidarity, the specifics of the Spanish Civil War, and Catholicism.Working with children in film is always hit or miss, but we're here to celebrate Carlos' bravery, Jaime's redemption, and the death of fascists.Next time we're just gonna go jump in the ocean: it's monster-robot fighting PACIFIC RIM!

Are fairy tales real, or are they mental refuges from the horrors of real life? Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pan’s Labyrinth” toggles effortless between bizarre, Miyazaki-like fantasy (inverted toads!) and an all-too-real tale of violence and treachery in fascist Spain. It’s dark, beautiful, full of disgusting bugs, and manages to use Del Toro muse Doug Jones as not one but two separate monsters! Jason Snell with Moisés Chiullán, Steve Lutz, Tony Sindelar and Monty Ashley.

GUILLERMO DEL TORO'S PINOCCHIO released at the end of 2022 is based on Carlo Collodi's novel, The Adventures of Pinocchio, about the wooden puppet who comes to life as the son of his carver, Geppetto. Set in Fascist Italy, the characters are voiced by Gregory Mann as Pinocchio and David Bradley as Geppetto, alongside Ewan McGregor, Ron Perlman, John Turturro, Cate Blanchett, Tim Blake Nelson, Christopher Waltz and Tilda Swinton.

Doug Jones's face is often hidden behind elaborate makeup, yet somehow, through his eyes and body language he always create memorable characters. A favorite of filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro, he was the sea creature inThe Shape of Water and had key roles in Hellboy, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, and Pan's Labyrinth. He spent five seasons on Star Trek: Discovery and is currently having a ball making the last season of What We Do in the Shadows. He is also proud of Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, now streaming and available on Blu-ray—and not to be confused with the other current remake of the German silent classic. Doug is as nice as he is talented, and Leonard and Jessie are delighted to have him on the podcast.

His films often lean into the action side of the genre and are a ride from the the get-go. He's one of the best in the business for staging a great set piece and his ability to move between action beats and scares works every time.His new film “Werewolves” is in theatres now and I freakin' love this movie. It has everything… werewolves, Lou Diamond Phillips, a child in danger, bodies ripped in half, shirtless Frank Grillo (I just turned into Stefan from SNL). Go see it! “Werewolves”… tell your friends!Today we are joined by the unstoppable Steven C. Miller!Steven and I get our jolly on by first discussing his loose remake of “Silent Night, Deadly Night” which was was just called “Silent Night”. A very different film than the beloved 1984 classic, it's a balls to the wall killer Santa flick and we talk about how it all came together.We also discuss how “Werewolves” came to be, how Frank Grillo is just as on point in intimate character scenes as he is at killing the fuck out of werewolves and how to walk the line of scares and action without leaning too much into one or the other.So let's sharpen our candy canes and howl at the super moon with director Steven C. Miller! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Continuing our SEASON'S CREEPINGS triple feature, we're celebrating the holidays with Guillermo del Toro's 1993 bloody, buggy, and moderately festive debut feature film. The clocks are ticking, the cockroaches are scattering, and it's immortality vs. humanity as we pop on some 16th century soul-sucking swag to meet a 400-year-old vampire bug in CRONOS.

Apologies we've been out of commission for a couple weeks. Along with the cheer and merriment of the season comes flues, colds and coughs and basically our whole team was bed bound for a bit. If I still sound a bit scratchy, well hopefully it just adds to the shows creepy vibe. And having your voice drop an octave sounds good anyway right?Well let's get right into it shall we?Our guest in this episode is one of the great visionary directors currently working in horror. His work bares the signature of a director who is not only a master of his craft but also someone has has never lost touch with an almost childlike sense of imagination, as he often explores the dark side of folklore and fantasy. Similar to a filmmaker like Guillermo del Toro (so it's no surprise they have collaborated), his marriage of the fantastic and the macabre gives him a distinctive style.With his first true feature, the modern classic “Troll Hunter”, he came out guns-a-blazing and hasn't let up since.In this episode we are joined by the virtuosic director Andre Ovredal.Andre and I sat down to talk about why he chose to follow up the decidedly lighter in tone hit “Troll Hunter”, with the disturbing and almost chamber play like (not to mentioning absolutely terrifying) “The Autopsy of Jane Doe”. The challenges of adapting a beloved book like “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” for the screen and why a very brief section of the legendary Bram Stoker's Dracula about the “Last voyage of the Demeter” was a story that HAD to be told on film.Let's visit the world of the strange and the fantastic with director Andre Ovredal! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Actor Doug Jones, who plays Saru in Star Trek: Discovery, sits down with me to talk about his life growing up in the midwest United States, how his illustrious acting career came to be, and the acting techniques that helped him become not only a versatile actor, but one of Guillermo Del Toro's favorites.

This week the Squad reviews Nick's pick "Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio".  Thank you all for listening and we hope you enjoy the show.

Another Halloween has come and gone, and I hope you all had sufficiently spooky time. Lots of candy and fake blood and sexy costumes…why can't it be officially Halloween week? Soon it will be that most festive of holidays and I have to say, I love that one as much (full disclosure maybe more) because the sinister side of Christmas is masked by the most wholesome of veneers. We'll have lots of Christmas episodes for you unwrap but that's still a couple weeks out so in the meantime, we return you to our regularly scheduled programming.In this episode we are joined by one of the busiest guys in the world of horror filmmaking. He has produced a series of films that have become huge hits financially and created a new slasher icon in the mold of Freddy or Pennywise.He has a new film out that he directed titled “Stream”, and it has nearly every horror icon you can think of is in the cast (though friend of the podcast and genre royalty Jeffrey Combs really gets to shine here).The film also features and appearance by a genre legend that we have just lost, the formidable Tony Todd. I had the great privilege of having a friendship with Tony for almost 20 years and his talent, humour, thoughtfulness and kindness was unmatched. So, this episode is for Tony. Who loved his craft. Who loved movies, the people that made them and the people that watched them.Back to “Stream”, it's a raucous, funny, gory, inventive occasionally touching movie that brings the goods and then some. And again, there's the fantastic Jeffrey Combs performance! “ Stream” is streaming now.Joining us to talk about producing the hijinks of Art the Clown in “The Terrifier” films and taking on directing “Stream” is producer/director Michale Leavy. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Director Jason Reitman discusses his new film, Saturday Night, with fellow Director Guillermo del Toro in a Q&A at the DGA theater in Los Angeles. In the conversation, he discusses originally conceptualizing the film as a one-take to play out in real time, recording the score live on set with the film's Actor and Composer Jon Batiste, and casting his Actors for how well they understood their characters' deeper interests over their recreations of sketch work. Seen through the eyes of a young Lorne Michaels as he juggles equipment failures, actor fights and producers pushing for reruns, the film follows Lorne and his troupe of trailblazers behind the scenes leading up to the landmark show's first airing.

The spooky season is here! Why not indulge in the twisted fantasy worlds of one renowned, revered Mexican filmmaker by the name of Guillermo Del Toro! Of course I needed to enlist a super fan of his and I was lucky enough to have returning guest Chloe Waryan back on the show for another truly delightful discussion. Chloe may very well be my go-to guest every October (well at least for next year so we can finally talk about Mike Flanagan). Not to mention, you're in for a surprise when Chloe and I introduce a bonus segment after the movie reviews that I know you'll enjoy! We start out the first ten minutes with some recent horror discoveries from Chloe and a quick review of a documentary I got to catch at the Chicago International Film Festival.

Pete Abeyta from the Middle Class Film Class Podcast/YouTube Channel, joins Nicole and Ryan to talk about the soundtrack to Paul Thomas Anderson's 2002 film, Punch Drunk Love. This soundtrack consists of a wonderful score by producer/composer/mad scientist, Jon Brion, who also composed the scores to films that we've covered in previous episodes like, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Magnolia. Brion also reworks the iconic "He Needs Me" by Shelley Duvall from Robert Altman's 1980 film, Popeye.We Discuss:How Jon Brion and Paul Thomas Anderson closely worked together on the "sound" of the filmWhy Brion's score evokes memories of old MGM musicals and why that's intentionalRobert Altman's reaction to "He Needs Me" being used in the filmThe connection of the Punch Drunk Love score to Guillermo Del Toro's Shape of Water.For More Information about Middle Class Film Class:Website: https://www.mcfcpodcast.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/middleclassfilmclass/Twitter: https://x.com/podcastmcfcIf you'd like to support Soundtrack Your Life, we have a Patreon, where you'll get quarterly bonus episodes and more!

Most of our choices so far in this year's Scary Movie Month haven't been all that goosebump-inducing. Creature From The Black Lagoon isn't very frightening either, but Jack Arnold's film WAS influential, especially on Guillermo Del Toro and his Oscar-winning The Shape Of Water. The Gill Man in this 1954 Universal Monster flick might look corny now in his creature suit, but the underwater shots the crew got and the stunts they all did down there remain impressive. The most-famous scene is, of course, when the creature yearns for Julie/a Adams as she swims on the surface. Ah, the loneliness of the outcast. But while the title character is violent, you could also say that he's provoked. There's a lot of "bad guy" blame to go around...to Gill AND to the Richards, Carlson & Denning. So set sail on the Rita with our 618th podcast in your ears as we discuss the soggy doings in Creature From The Black Lagoon. Well, Actually: the pronunciation of Ricou Browning DOES seem to be "Rico". Also, the 1975 and 2005 King Kong films should have been called "remakes", not "sequels". Also also, Arthur Ross wrote "The Creature WALKS Among Us", not "The Creature Among Us". Check out Sparkplug Coffee and use our "HYES" promo code to get a onetime 20% discount.

After a bad experience in Hollywood, Guillermo del Toro had lost his spark. He got it back with a story of a haunted orphanage during the Spanish Civil War, a script he wrote when he was still a student. Together with the film's producer Rosa Bosch, BFI's Creative Director and author of THE FABER BOOK OF MEXICAN CINEMA Jason Wood and co-host of the Filmspotting podcast Josh Larsen, guest host Anna Bogutskaya finds out how THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE gave Guillermo his horror groove back. Season 6, titled Haunted Homes, explores how haunted house movies have mirrored our relationship with our homes. Each episode visits a horror movie that changed the way we imagine a haunted house, from the crumbling Gothic mansions to white picket fences, what it says about the people who live in the houses and what scares them the most.  Guest written and hosted by Anna Bogutskaya.

In 2004 Guillermo Del Toro brought us the cinematic introduction of Hellboy, a demonic entity summonded from hell but who fights for the forces of good. Played pitch perfectly by Rob Pearlman and joined by the likes of Doug Jones as Abe Sapien and Selma Blair as Liz Sherman the first movie deals with stopping the Nazi's (lead by Rasputin) from opening a portal into another dimension to bring forth Ogdru Jahad, a cthulhu like squid monster. All in all, pretty good. Pretty good we reckon.
