Superstar composers John Murphy and David Fleming finally enter the same room (you read that correctly) after an unusual but groundbreaking experience co-composing the score for James Gunn's SUPERMAN. How John's electric guitar-focused approach (he writes themes on a zany guitar he named Ned Flanders) harnessed the majesty of John Williams' iconic theme — and why the trailer debut was nerve racking to see if the world would accept his “version” of it. Also, how his precious guitar themes (28 Days Later, Sunshine) helped prep for how to treat this film with the sound needed. David and John discuss their breakthroughs in film composing — an internship leading to working with Hans Zimmer on The Lion King. Blue Planet II and Top Gun: Maverick — and a book titled “How To Write A Film Score” which was promptly discarded for a few pints. The duo also discuss their unique place in the massive re-launch of the DC Universe's first film — tonally a new direction that called for embracing the campiness a little more, but also the authenticity. How John's music was critical to filming, and later how David navigated a final push to expand the film's musical scope thematically. Also, Squirrelgate.

This week we are trying to stop an apocalypse, develop a world-saving vaccine, locate our long-lost son, and find a good parking spot while we discuss “My Struggle II”! We're talking Scully's strange anti-vaxx turn, the tonally bizarre Guy Ritchie fight scenes, Scully being able to stop a riot with just her words, CSM's return as a cartoon flaming skull, and the fastest-onset apocalypse we have ever seen. We wonder just how quick Scully is able to develop a vaccine, if Teen Willy has a permit to drive that UFO, get indignant on behalf of the nurse Scully won't learn the name of, and wish we could welcome back Reyes, but why did it have to be like this? Quote of the episode: Calm down, you're talking to a scientist here. Thanks, Skinner.Send us an email at scullynationpod@gmail.com or follow us on Instagram!
“Spooky” is a rarity in 1960s pop tunes, because it charted on the Billboard Hot 100 three times in a dozen years with renditions by three different groups.The song began life as an instrumental. With Harry Middlebrooks Jr., Atlanta saxophonist Mike Sharpe (Shapiro) wrote the song and made the 1967 pop charts with it in the U.S. and Canada.Enter The Classics IVBut the song is much better known as a vocal by The Classic IV, whose James Cobb and producer Buddy Buie added lyrics about that “spooky little girl like you.” It was their band's first big hit, charting in February 1968, No. 3 in the U.S. and No. 1 in Canada.The group had begun five years earlier in Jacksonville, Fla., as a cover band, playing Ventures numbers and instrumental takes on “Misty” and “Summertime.” After a while, fans started requesting vocals.“I can sing,” said one of the founders, drummer Dennis Yost, and that led to a whole new chapter in the group's story.Relocating to Atlanta in the mid-'60s, The Classics IV landed a contract with Imperial Records. A trio of hit records followed, each with one-word titles, “Spooky,” then “Stormy” and “Traces,” all of which have since become popular cover standards.The Third Charting“Spooky” hit the charts for the third time in 1979 when J.R. Cobb and bandmate Dean Daughtry left The Classics IV to be part of the Southern rock band Atlanta Rhythm Section.There Cobb and Daughtry helped ARS record “Spooky,” again with production assistance by Buie. It was the second of two singles released from Underdog, the group's 8th studio album. ARS's version of the song hit No. 17 in the US on Billboard and No. 15 on Cash Box.Gender BendingBut a decade before the ARS recording came Dusty Springfield's 1968 version of “Spooky.”Released as a single worldwide except in the U.S., this gender-flipped version was featured prominently in Guy Ritchie's 1998 film, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Springfield's take on the tune was certified gold in 2024.There were at least two other gender-bender versions. Lydia Lunch sang of a “spooky little boy” when she included the song on her 1980 Queen of Siam album; Martha Reeves inserted a similar rendering on her In the Midnight Hour album in 1986. The latter is especially fun. In her version, Martha also swapped the line "spooky little girl like you" line with "spooky old lady like me.”Floodifying ItThis song was born at jam sessions, with an infectious rhythm and a couple of funky chords that invite all kinds of improvisation, making it a fine fit for The Flood.It's the latest tune that Randy Hamilton and Danny have brought to the band room, complete with those Classics IV lyrics. Here's a take from last week's rehearsal. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit 1937flood.substack.com
If you're not familiar with the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire then you're probably not expecting the Guy Ritchie level of dark comedy that actually happened. Or the sheer volume of craziness involved. Whatever level of crazy you're thinking, double it and add 30, like you're doing a fahrenheit conversion.
Questa settimana ci immergiamo nelle acque torbide di MobLand, serie originale Paramount+ che nasce dalle ceneri di un progetto Ray Donovan e finisce per essere un crime londinese firmato Guy Ritchie. Perché quando non sai cosa fare di uno spin-off, chiami Ritchie e lasci fare a lui. Guy Ritchie non sarà, invece, con noi per […]
Tim and Andrew take a quick break from time travel flicks, to travel back to 2000 and give Guy Ritchie's Snatch its due 25 minutes.
Based on a 60s television show of the same name, The Man from UNCLE attempts to merge the cool of James Bond with real-world Cold War era politics. The results are mixed. Directed by Guy Ritchie, it has all the hallmarks of one of his films—quippy banter, smooth action beats, and heroes that ooze charisma. Well, one of the heroes is charismatic. And it's not the one who allegedly is into cannibalism. Henry Cavill is the engine that drives The Man from UNCLE. And just like his turn in The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, he proves he's got the chops to be both comedic and badass. Sadly, audiences never gave this one a chance. On a budget of $75 million, it grossed just north of $110 million. That wasn't nearly enough to warrant the sequel they teased. Now, sit back, stay incognito with a Lord Grey from Three Taverns, and never trust a Nazi scientist! The Thunderous Wizard, Chumpzilla, and Bling Blake are enjoying some fine cheese and red wine while Mayor McCheese evades the goons! This Week's Segments: Introduction/Plot Breakdown – Two sworn enemies ... one common mission! Lingering Questions – How did Cavill never get a crack at Bond? (31:33) The "UNCLE" Trivia Challenge – Bling Blake challenges the field to trivia about the movie.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesConsider our wishes granted, as Tom Holland shared in an interview with Flip Your Wig that Spider-Man: Brand New Day will show Spider-Man in a much more grounded setting than we've previously seen in the MCU. Holland refers back to Spider-Man: No Way Home as having been a fairly restricted set, due to COVID. Brand New Day will feature more real sets and on-location filming, according to the Spidey star.It was all about the blue, red, and yellow this weekend at the box office, with the DCU's first film, Superman, soaring to an excellent $220 million global opening and just beating its domestic estimate of $122 million by catching $125 million in the states. Warner Brothers should be thrilled with the opening since of their latest slate of DC films, only 2017's Wonder Woman and The Batman crossed the $100 million mark during their opening weekends.With last year's banner year of television behind us, buzz about the Emmy's has been hot and today the list of nominations dropped. Favorite of this cast, Severance, leads the drama show pack with 27 total nominations with other cast favorite, The Penguin, close behind with 24. The Studio and The White Lotus each grabbed 23 noms, and Hacks received the most for a comedy show with 14. The Bear continues its award showing as a comedy and a lot of our sci-fi/fantasy favorites such as Andor, Agatha All Along, Dune: Prophecy, and House of the Dragon, didn't scoop any acting noms, but are up for production, costume, and directing - though Andor did snag a nomination for Best Drama Series.The Devil Wears Prada 2 has added Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, BJ Novak, and Pauline Chalamet to the cast. They join stars of the original movie Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci who will reprise their roles for the sequel.20th Century and Shawn Levy's production company 21 Laps are currently in the early stages of revitalizing the Night at the Museum franchise. Tripper Clancy has been tasked to write the new take. Plot details for the reimaging are currently under wraps. All three original films were directed by Levy, who will remain as producer for the new film.Netflix released the first trailer for season 2 of their hit show Wednesday. Part 1 of the series debuts on August 6 followed by Part 2 on September 3.HBO Max has formally greenlit Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, a Big Bang Theory spin off comedy that will center on comic book shop owner Stuart Bloom played by Kevin Sussman, who had a heavily recurring role on the original CBS series. The show comes from Big Bang Theory co-creators Chuck Lorre, Bill Prady, and Zak Penn — and unlike the original series and its other spinoffs, it will feature a heavy dose of sci-fi alongside its comedy, including multiversal elements.Peacock has set an official release date for The Office spinoff series The Paper. The show will debut its first four episodes on September 4, followed by two new episodes every Thursday through September 25.Murderbot has been renewed for a second season at Apple TV+ after airing its season one finale on July 11.Star Wars creator George Lucas is coming to San Diego Comic-Con for his first-ever panel. Lucas will be joined by filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, and artist and Star Wars prequels production designer Doug Chiang for a panel that will explore the power of illustrated story and offer a sneak peek at the new Lucas Museum of Narrative Art.Guy Ritchie has exited as the director for Amazon MGM Studios‘ sequel movie Road House 2 starring Jake Gyllenhaal.HBO's “Harry Potter” TV series — the long-awaited and much-hyped return to J.K. Rowling's wizarding world — has officially started production at Warner Bros.

En este 'Hoy por Hoy Bilbao-Bizkaia' charlamos con una actriz que, aunque nació en Gernika, está conquistando la escena nacional e internacional: Fariba Sheikhan. De raíces vascas y persas, crecida entre dos culturas y políglota, Fariba se ha convertido en uno de los rostros más prometedores de la ficción audiovisual. La conocimos en Goenkale y El secreto de Puente Viejo, se consolidó con La Unidad, ha trabajado bajo la dirección de Guy Ritchie, compartido pantalla con Hugh Laurie en Teherán y ahora acaba de estrenar Matices, una de las series más esperadas del año, donde el personaje lleva incluso su propio nombre. Hoy nos visita en el estudio para hablarnos de su trayectoria, su nuevo proyecto y cómo es abrirse camino desde Gernika hasta Hollywood.
This episode, we finally return to taping into a full director's filmography (mostly). Guy Ritchie has been crazy busy lately, movies and shows coming out all the time. While some see his career as being very up and down, we review and speculate why the misteps make sense, and why some of his flops deserve more credit than they get. We discuss his original short film: The Hard Case, in addition to Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, Swept Away, Revolvr, RocknRolla, Sherlock Holmes & Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, Aladdin, The Gentlemen, Wrath of Man, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, The Covenant, and Dustin's favorite movie of 2024 - Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (we only both didn't have time for Fountain of Youth and MobLand). It's also amazing how many times his work should have launched massive franchises, but didn't. We still hold out hope for revivals in the future!Before that, Dustin gives spoiler-free first impressions of Superman, Sinners, Jurassic World: Rebirth, Minecraft, Risen, and Monster Summer. Jake has watched most of Squid Game season 3 and The Better Sister.Have thoughts about the episode?

So after watching Guy Ritchie's FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH, the Film School Janitors decided to go back a couple films in his oeuvre to watch OPERATION FORTUNE: RUSE DE GUERRE! Have you heard of it?

Listen to the Janitors explain it all!

In this episode, I sit down with British filmmaker, fight choreographer, and martial artist Michael Hoad, co-director of the new indie action-thriller A WOMAN SCORNED. We talk about how Michael went from training at Carlson Gracie to working on a Guy Ritchie set, and how martial arts opened the door to his directing career. We dig into the making of A WOMAN SCORNED—from the co-directing process to weapon-heavy night shoots and choreographing complex action without stunt doubles. Michael shares why BJJ isn't always camera-friendly, what it was like editing his own fight scenes, and the logistical beast of directing a twin-assassin film with only one actress. We also get into the evolution of British cuisine, punchy stories about Lenny McLean, and the magic of "happy accidents" on set. Toward the end, Michael picks two of his all-time favorite movie scenes: the legendary motorcycle chase in TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY and the haunting finale of Takeshi Kitano's VIOLENT COP. Hosted by Zef Cota
Rob, Michael, and Pax finish up this month's Lounge talking about retirement, the After Lunch lounge schedule, Guy Ritchie's Fountain of Youth, the fall of the Jedi, the Lilo and Stitch remake, and our experiences as young nerds.
No, Apple isn't releasing some new product called iFountain, but Apple TV+ (don't forget that plus!) did release Guy Ritchie's newest film. FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH. It stars Jim from "The Office" and Queen Amidala as siblings whose father was basically Indiana Jones, and don't worry, it's not anywhere near the best or the worst of that series. Listen to the Film School Janitors as they "dig" in (archaeology joke). Enjoy!

The Spin Chagrin, a concept that finds Frank having to watch a movie he's never seen before based on the random spin of a wheel filled with off-the-wall genres, continues into its fourth year. All the categories are quotables from Frank himself. In this episode, Frank's category was "Secret Second File in the File." For this, he watched and reviewed Guy Ritchie's 2021 action thriller Wrath of Man, starring Jason Statham, Holt McCallany, Jeffrey Donovan, and Josh Hartnett.

Send us a textMay 2025 marked a historic turning point for theatrical exhibition with box office numbers approaching $1 billion on just 128 releases – half the number required to hit that mark pre-pandemic. This stunning 75% year-over-year growth signals what could be the full recovery of theatrical moviegoing after years of uncertainty.Behind this remarkable surge were five films crossing the $100 million domestic threshold, led by Disney's surprisingly dominant "Lilo and Stitch" ($260M domestic) and Marvel's "Thunderbolts" ($180M). Perhaps most unexpected was "Final Destination: Bloodlines," the sixth entry in a long-dormant franchise that managed to earn over $200M worldwide – proving audiences still hunger for inventive horror when executed properly.The hosts dissect several recent releases, finding much to be desired in "Bring Her Back," the sophomore effort from the directors behind A24's "Talk to Me." Despite strong performances and effective sound design, the film's telegraphed storytelling undermines its potential for genuine suspense. Similarly disappointing is Guy Ritchie's "Fountain of Youth," described as a "dollar store version of Indiana Jones and National Treasure" despite its star-studded cast. Netflix's "Fear Street: Prom Queen" fares better as a fun but lesser entry in the franchise, while HBO's tech billionaire satire "Mountainhead" delivers mixed results.Looking forward, excitement builds for Wes Anderson's "The Phoenician Scheme," the Ana de Armas-led "Ballerina," and Ty West's vampire film premiering at Tribeca. The hosts also share news of Luca Guadagnino directing an AI business comedy and James Cameron tackling a dark fantasy project called "The Devils." These developments, alongside the emergence of AI-themed narratives as a distinct subgenre, reflect how cinema continues to process our collective anxieties and fascinations.Catch Alex and Max each week as they explore theatrical releases, streaming debuts, and industry developments with insight and enthusiasm that reminds us why movies still matter.Support the show

What makes a show so good you'd rather stay on the plane than land in paradise?In this wildly entertaining episode of The Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers returns from vacation with a bold claim: he's found a new Top 5 TV show of all time—and it's not what you'd expect. The show? Mobland, a gritty British crime drama starring Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and Helen Mirren. But before you roll your eyes at another gangster series, Ben breaks down why this one hits different—fixers, family feuds, and Fontaine's D.C. setting the tone with a killer intro track.

This week on Pop Culture Pastor, Dave and Cody set out in search of eternal youth and… mostly find studio notes and safe choices. In our full review of Fountain of Youth, we dive into Guy Ritchie's lightest touch yet, a charming John Krasinski, and a MacGuffin so undercooked it might still be thawing. Is it fun? Sometimes. Is it deep? Not especially. But hey, there's a moped chase and some ancient Christian imagery just vague enough to avoid offending anyone.Also in this episode:Michael Bay is making a Skibidi Toilet movie. That sentence alone may signal the end of western civilization.Thunderbolts bombs at the box office, and we try to figure out if it's Marvel fatigue, character obscurity, or just a tragic lack of marketing.Taylor Swift fans think the AMAs muted her applause. We investigate (and theorize wildly).

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for Memorial Day Weekend 2025. There are no shortages of choices on what to watch this holiday weekend as summer blockbuster season starts with two beloved characters facing off in a box office battle for first place, “Stitch vs Ehan Hunt.” "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning" features Tom Cruise's final(?) outing as super agent Ethan Hunt, who attempts to save the world alongside Hayley Atwell and other characters from an evil AI entity. The other movie that might win the box office this weekend is the live-action remake of Disney’s 2002 animated movie, "Lilo & Stitch,” which expands on the emotional theme of family, Ohana, from the original. Also in theaters, "Friendship" starring Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd will definitely be either the funniest thing you've seen in a theater in a long time (mainly for Gen Z'ers) or you'll be trying to figure out why other people are laughing. On streaming, "Fountain of Youth" sends Natalie Portman and John Krasinski after the fabled Fountain of Youth, as director Guy Ritchie combines parts from almost every other adventure movie of this type that you've ever seen and is actually still mostly fun! The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing nerdy with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch on the Weekend" minisode taken from KSL-TV's Friday segment, and two deep-dives a month on shows, creative works, artists, local events, and other fandom topics.

In this heartfelt and hilarious Memorial Day edition of SITREP, CannCon and Alpha Warrior honor fallen brothers-in-arms with powerful personal stories from their military service. From steak-prep debates and reverse-sear techniques to deeply moving tributes for Officer Jermaine Gibson and Lance Corporal Raymond Johnson, the episode blends lighthearted banter with raw emotional remembrance. The duo also dives into the evolving cartel landscape, including the stunning surrender of El Chapo's brother and a wave of Mexican political assassinations tied to organized crime. With Texas ramping up troops at the border and hints of suspended constitutional protections, the hosts speculate on larger operations underway in South America. Add in a few roast-heavy recruitment skits, jabs at Navy culture, a running joke about CannCon forgetting his stepdad's birthday, and a touching review of Guy Ritchie's The Covenant, and you've got a SITREP episode that's as real as it is rowdy. Packed with laughs, love, and layered analysis, this one reminds you why we fight, and why we laugh while doing it.
This week, Dave and Megan talk about FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH (2:47), Guy Ritchie's incredibly derivative and frustrating adventure film, starring John Krasinski and Natalie Portman as siblings on a globe-trotting trek for (you guessed it) the mythical Fountain of Youth. Then, we all (Evan, Dave, and Megan) discuss FEAR STREET: PROM QUEEN (29:21), a slasher horror film and the latest entry in the franchise based on the R.L. Stine novel. Directed by Matt Palmer and starring India Fowler, Suzanna Son, and Fina Strazza, it follows high school prom queen finalists dying one by one. One of us had a lot of fun, but two of us were disappointed. Yet we all agree on some of the good performances and the excellent 80s soundtrack. And on this week's Patreon bonus episode, we cover the winner of our sci-fi horror poll: James Ward Byrkit's 2013 film, COHERENCE!
In 2000, a group of career criminals known for their audacious heists gets recruited for what would be the biggest robbery in history. Lee Wenham and his crew draw up a plan to steal the world's largest diamond on display for the public at London's Millennium Dome. As the thieves work out how to thwart guards, vaults, and impregnable glass, an elite police unit has been monitoring their plans. While the so-called Flying Squad has clocked elements of the bandits' scheme, it won't be until the day of the heist when they learn how it all fits together.Netflix's “The Diamond Heist” recounts the daring daylight caper to steal the 203-carat, £200-million Millennium Star. Produced by movie director Guy Ritchie, the three-part series is high on action film pace and style. We hear from both the cops and robbers involved, who tell their stories and take part in the re-enactments. OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "THE DIAMOND HEIST" BEGIN IN THE FINAL NINE MINUTES OF THE EPISODE. For exclusive podcasts and more, sign up at Patreon.Sign up for our newsletter at crimewriterson.com.
