Gene Hackman, siempre ha sido ver estas dos palabras en unos títulos de crédito o póster y sabes que esa película ya ganaba puntos. De prqueño le vi en dos que me marcararon como "La aventura del Poseidón" (1972) y por supuesto "Superman" (1978). Hackman falleció el 18 de febrero pasado a la edad de 95 años. Obtuvo dos Oscars y trabajo en decenas de títulos muchos de ellos emblemáticos. En este programa hago un repaso por gran parte de su filmografía con bandas sonoras con los más grandes compositores de los últimos tiempos. Espero que disfrutes de la proyección.

With all the greatest love and admiration and with respect to all the behind-the-scenes skullduggery that took place while this film was made, we talk about Superman II -- the theatrical (Richard Lester) cut with comparison to The Donner Cut (because the seams were too unseemly and Dave went back and subsequently found it impossible to ignore in this discussion).We can't help but have real issues with Superman II...Join Our Riotous DC Debauch!Site: https://dconscreen.comStore: https://bit.ly/DCoStorePatreon: https://patreon.com/dconscreenApple: http://bit.ly/DCoSReviewSpotify: http://bit.ly/DCSCREENSpreaker: https://bit.ly/DCoSSpreaker
In this episode of Foreplay, the hosts explore one of Gene Hackman's most enigmatic and forgotten performances in the 1975 film 'Night Moves.' As the final film in their Gene Hackman Arc, they analyze the movie's subtle brilliance, its portrayal of middle-aged malaise, and its deconstruction of film noir tropes. From discussing Hackman's character, Harry Moseby, and his personal struggles to addressing the film's puzzling plot and tonal inconsistencies, they unpack why 'Night Moves' remains a divisive yet compelling watch. With insights into the film's deeper meanings, the hosts also reveal their next arc focused on sports films, starting with 'Hoosiers.' Dive in to celebrate Hackman's incredible range while anticipating a new journey through iconic sports movies.

Devin & James are back in the DEN to conclude their discussion about one of the greatest American actors ever to hit the screen, GENE HACKMAN! This time around, we reach into some slightly more obscure territory. We get into his early Western work, in THE HUNTING PARTY and BITE THE BULLET. We also discuss two films he made with a frequent collaborator, Arthur Penn: the underappreciated TARGET and the stone-cold neo-noir masterpiece, NIGHT MOVES. Actress Joanna Cassidy shows up as a match for Hackman in THE PACKAGE and UNDER FIRE. We also discuss a couple of misfires that may fall short of greatness (or even goodness, in some opinions). Still, we make the case that Hackman makes them interesting watches anyway: LOOSE CANNONS (with Dan Aykroyd and an insane Hitler sex tape plot) and LUCKY LADY (which puts him in a literal throuple with Liza Minnelli and Burt Reynolds!!!!). All this, plus many more films to add to your list. We could have honestly gone into a third episode with Hackman as the headline topic, and we hope you join us to celebrate his unique presence in cinema. Gene Hackman was truly one of a kind.

In this episode, we delve deep into Francis Ford Coppola's 1974 classic, 'The Conversation,' starring Gene Hackman. We explore Hackman's exceptional performance as Harry Caul, the film's intricate narrative structure, and the thematic elements of surveillance, privacy, and paranoia. Our discussion also touches on the movie's compelling soundtrack, its connection (or lack thereof) to the Watergate scandal, and how it fits within the broader context of cinema and film noir. Additionally, we compare it to other surveillance-themed films like 'Blow Out' and 'Enemy of the State.' Join us as we unravel one of Hackman's most nuanced roles and discuss why 'The Conversation' remains a standout in both his career and 1970s cinema.

The masculinity conversation continues! Whip smart researcher, journalist, and the author of Emotional Labor: The Invisible Work Shaping Our Lives and How to Reclaim Our Power, is back on the pod to talk about her upcoming book, Men Too: How a Myth of Male Victimhood Ushered in a New Era of Extremism, and How to Liberate Ourselves From It.This one's for all the cyclebreaking mamas raising sons, partnered with men — or just navigating what it means to mother in a culture still tangled in old scripts.We talk about the invisible weight women carry in relationships — not just the logistics, but the emotional tracking, the repair, the soothing. The labor that goes unnamed and unshared.We explore how boys are often raised inside a narrow box of masculinity that teaches them to disconnect from their feelings, and how that disconnection has real consequences for their relationships — and their inner lives.We name the reality that so many of our kids are growing up in a world that is digitally overstimulated and relationally undernourished — and how that's affecting emotional development.And we ground the whole conversation in hope: that change doesn't require perfection, just connection. That our softness is not weakness. That vulnerability is the beginning of healing — and that you modeling this work, even imperfectly, matters.You are not just raising children. You're shifting culture.Big love,AnnYou can connect with Rose Hackman and her incredible work and insights at @rosehackwoman on Instagram and her book Emotional Labor; The Invisible Work Shaping Our Lives and How to Reclaim Our Power can be purchased anywhere books are sold!

In this episode of Absolute Trust Talk, Kirsten Howe, managing attorney at Absolute Trust Counsel, and associate attorney Jessica Colbert examine the estate of beloved actor Gene Hackman. They meticulously analyze the available court records from Santa Fe County, New Mexico, and contrast them with California's probate procedures. The attorneys skillfully debunk sensationalized headlines about Hackman's will, explaining the mechanics of pour-over wills and why media claims about his children being "cut out" are potentially misleading. While much of the discussion is speculation, they provide valuable insights into how proper estate planning anticipates contingencies like beneficiaries predeceasing the trustor. This episode demonstrates why understanding the difference between public court filings and private trust documents is crucial for anyone planning their estate. Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 2:39 Unraveling the court filings: What exactly was submitted in Santa Fe County after Gene Hackman's death? 3:46 Who is Julia Peters, and how did she become the personal representative of Hackman's estate? 5:00 California vs. New Mexico: Next, let's dive into how "informal probate" creates a dramatically different process. 7:03 Separating fact from fiction: What headlines get wrong about Hackman's estate planning. 8:05 "His children are cut out." Here, Kirsten and Jessica debunk the sensational claims about Hackman's will. 10:00 The unexpected twist: What happens when a primary beneficiary predeceases the trustor? 11:44 The mysterious "GEBE" trust is revealed. Listen in as Kirsten and Jessica explore Hackman's power of appointment. 13:32 Why Hackman's true wishes may remain private forever - Unless litigation changes everything.
You're going to take that football and you're going to run to the other side. And if the other guys try to stop you, you don't let them. That's the famous speech from the Gene Hackman movie, right? Look, we never said we knew all of Gene's filmography or watched it. We are aware a lot of people put Hoosiers on the top of that list. We figure it must be related to football because we don't really watch sports movies. With that, we do have a Hackman movie we'd not seen before with The Package(1989).

Sheriff Answers Questions About Gene Hackman's Final Days Gene Hackman is a Hollywood legend, starring in iconic films like The French Connection, Superman, and Unforgiven. But despite his illustrious career, Hackman has been noticeably absent from the spotlight in recent years. What happened to Gene Hackman in his final days? The death of his wife Betsy Arakawa and the fact that he lived for perhaps one week longer than her gives people pause, did his Alzheimer's prevent him from knowing she was dead?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- On Friday night, President Donald Trump spoke with the press briefly before boarding Marine One—where he reacted to his chaotic meeting with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump accused Zelensky of “over playing his hand” and continued to insist the U.S. merely wants “peace.” 6:10pm- What's your favorite Gene Hackman movie? Rich and Justin debate—meanwhile Matt concedes the only Hackman movie he has ever seen is “Welcome to Mooseport.” 6:30pm- On Friday, President Donald Trump invited Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky to visit the White House with the intention of holding a joint press conference before signing an agreement that would provide security guarantees to Ukraine in exchange for access to the country's rare earth mineral reserves. However, while speaking with the press in the Oval Office, Zelensky seemingly blamed the United States for ignoring Russian aggression and predations, specifically in 2014. In response, Trump noted that he wasn't in office at that time—and unlike then-President Barack Obama, who provided Ukrainians with “sheets,” the Trump Administration armed Ukraine with javelin missiles. During the heated exchange, Trump stated: “You're gambling with the lives of millions of people. You're gambling with World War III.” At one point, he emphasized “if you didn't have our military equipment this war would have been over in 2-weeks.” According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Zelensky left the White House without signing the negotiated agreement.
