Today I am joined again with a classic guest from back in the podcast day, Brent from his own movie fueled show, Home Video Hustle to talk all about the original 1932 Scarface film. You probably know the classic 1983 Al Pacino, Oliver Stone, and Brian De Palma Miami Gangster classic of the same name, but not many have seen the classic prohibition era take. From Howard Hughes and Directed by Howard Hawks. Staring Paul Muni with Ann Dvorak, Osgood Perkins, and Boris Karloff. We go back in time, almost a hundred years to a pre Hayes Code era film of action packed violence, scenery chewing acting, and a solid story that always holds up fine. We get distracted along the way talking old school WWF and WCW, Resident Evil, couch co-op games, and a ton on just movies in general. Some that relate, like the Scarface video game on Wii, PS2, and Xbox and then some just of the rails tangents to no mans land. All in good fun. So, come on by and join us on another adventure of OMO Podcast. Be sure to take a listen to the Home Video Hustle Podcast from Brent.

Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/BENEATH and get on your way to being your best self.” ** When THERESA HARRIS appears on screen, you cannot take your eyes off of her. Beautiful, talented, and a skilled singer and dancer, she lights up any scene she's in. Despite appearing in over 100 films, she rarely received screen credit and most often played a maid, waitress, or other types of domestic servant. Her parts were small, but her charisma and presence on screen were enormous! As a black woman in the early days of Hollywood, she was limited in the roles she could perform by the restrictive Hayes Code of 1934 and the horrible Jim Crow laws of the South. Still, she is a welcome presence in so many classic films. This week, we look at the extraordinary life and career of the talented THERESA HARRIS.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: “Theresa Harris, Credited and Uncredited in Over 100 Films,” March 28, 2024, by Herb Boyd, New York Amsterdam News; “Just a Maid in Movies, But Not Forgotten,” April 21, 2011, by Manohla Dargis, The New York Times; “The Underrated Charms of Theresa Harris,” July 11, 2020, by Constance Cherise, TCM.com; “Theresa Harris: Television and Film Actress of the 1930s,” August 18, 2023, by Jae Jones, BackThen.com; “Actress Theresa Harris Hollywood Vixen Turned Servant,”September 2, 2011, by Veronica Wells, Madamenoire; IMDBPro.com; Wikipedia.com; Movies Mentioned:  Thunderbolt (1929), starring Fay Wray and George Brent; Hold Your Man (1932), starring Jean Harlow and Clark Gable; Baby Face (1933), starring Barbara Stanwyck and George Brent; Professional Sweetheart (1933), starring Ginger Rogers, Norman Foster, and Zasu Pitts; Horse Feathers (1932), starring The Marx Brothers and Thelma Todd; Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933), starring Joan Blondell, Dick Powell, Ruby Keeler, and Ginger Rogers; Morning Glory (1933), starring Katharine Hepburn and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr; Flying Down to Rio (1933), starring Delores Del Rio, Gene Raymond, Ginger Rogers, and Fred Astaire; Broadway Melody of 1936 (1935), starring Jack Benny and Eleanor Powell; Banjo On My Knee (1936), starring Barbara Stanwyck and Joel McCrea; Bargain With Bullets (aka The Gangster's On The Loose) (1937), starring Ralph Cooper and Theresa Harris; Jezebel (1938), starring Bette Davis, Henry Fonda, and George Brent; Tell No Tales (1939), starring Melvyn Douglas and Louise Platt; Buck Benny Rides Again (1940), starring Jack Benny, Ellen Drew, Eddie “Rochester” Anderson, and Theresa Harris; What's Buzzin' Cousin?

Casual Trek - A Star Trek Recap and Ranking Podcast

It's the wicki wicki wild Wild West! We're putting on our worst cowboy voices and donning some coconuts so it sounds like we're on horseback as we go into the Holodeck or to worlds where things are suspiciously like The Ancient West. A Fistful of Datas has Worf resentfully taking his son to the Holodeck during downtime only for things to go awry after Data gets plugged into the ship. We also get Troi living her best life as a Western LARPer. The Spectre of the Gun puts the away team into a weird half-built Wild West set where they're the villains in a no-win scenario and Chekhov gets to romance an alien dream construct that looks like a woman. North Star is a good episode of Enterprise, where Archer, T'Pol and Trip have to deal with the descendents of Ancient West folks who were abducted by aliens centuries ago and are now oppressing the descendents of their captors. 00:06:32 - Westerns 00:16:28 - Star Trek TNG: “A Fistful of Datas” 00:37:16 - Star Trek TOS: “The Spectre of the Gun” 01:00:54 - Enterprise: “North Star” Somehow Charlie forgot to mention that instead of playing “Cowboys and Indians” as a kid, his father made him play “Christians and Heathens”. Also there was a moment where Charlie spent too long talking about the Legion of Super-Heroes and we cut that. If you want Charlie to annoy Miles with pointless Legion of Super-Heroes trivia, tell us and we'll do an episode on the Star Trek/Legion comic! Talking points include: Deadwood, Westworld, Red Dead Redemption, The Between: Ghosts of El Paso, the Quick and the Dead, Star Wars, Firefly, Blake's 7, The Prisoner, Red Dwarf, Worf doesn't get Worfed, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Doomlord, Dogville, Gunfight at the OK Corral, The Hayes Code, specifically NOT the Legion of Super-Heroes after Charlie explained Ultra Boy's origin to Miles, Unforgiven, 24, Quantum Leap, Gilmore Girls, Doctor Who.

The world of cinema has seen many innovations in its short history, from the birth of sound to the rise of CGI. But behind every great film is a story of the creative process, and the struggles filmmakers face to bring their vision to the screen. In this podcast, we explore a few different aspects of filmmaking and film history, from the innovations of director Orson Welles to the impact of the Hayes Code on the industry. Join us as Mike and Diego return to also take a closer look at the importance of the director's cut and whether classic films like Touch of Evil can still be enjoyed in contemporary times.----------The Touch of Evil is a classic film noir that tells the story of a corrupt cop, Hank Quinlan, who plants evidence to frame innocent suspects. The movie is directed by Orson Welles, who also stars as Quinlan, and is known for its stunning opening shot, which is a three-minute long tracking shot that sets up the premise of the movie.The film has a lot of themes and subplots that explore power, corruption, and justice. The conversation on The Cinedicate centers around the movie's cinematography, genre, and storytelling. Mike, an avid cinephile, explains how he got into film noir and was interested in finding a unique take on the genre. He was fascinated with how film noir built its own ecosystem and found films like The Touch of Evil and The Third Man innovative in their approach to the genre.Diego, the genre lover, had never seen an Orson Welles movie before and was impressed with how well Welles portrayed a corrupt cop. The conversation goes on to discuss the movie's other themes and characters, including its portrayal of minorities and female characters. The podcast hosts encourage listeners to watch the movie, dive into its themes, and appreciate the storytelling techniques employed by Welles.Overall, The Touch of Evil is a classic film that has influenced many other directors and movies and is still relevant today in its exploration of power and corruption. The podcast conversation does a great job of highlighting the movie's strengths and encourages listeners to watch it and appreciate its innovations.----------Support The Cinedicate on PatreonConnect with The Cinedicate on these social platforms!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cinedicate/Twitter: https://twitter.com/cinedicate/Discord: https://www.cinedicate.com/discord Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

John Michael Hayes was a two-time Academy Award-nominated screenwriter who wrote four films for Alfred Hitchcock. But before that, he was a busy radio writer penning adventures for Johnny Dollar and comedies for Lucille Ball. We'll hear three of Hayes' old time radio scripts: "The Seeing Eye" from The Whistler (originally aired on CBS on November 12, 1945); "Lady in Distress" from Richard Diamond, Private Detective (originally aired on ABC on February 23, 1951); and "The Vendetta Caper" from The Adventures of Sam Spade (originally aired on NBC on March 30, 1951).

This week we're putting on our film nerd caps and re-examining the legendary Alfred Hitchcock. With both Rope and Strangers on a Train ol' Hitch trots out killer queers in high society out to commit the perfect murder. Under the rules of the infamous “Hayes Code,” these films couldn't portray homosexuals explicitly, and Alfred Hitchcock seemed to take that as a challenge, crafting two films that show more than they tell. But did he help create stereotypes that still abound today? Our friend Nick joins Brian and Max for the first time to discuss queer villains, the Hayes Code and Hitchcock's various problematic qualities.

It’s our 30th episode, dollfaces! We watched 1941’s The Maltese Falcon and dug into one of Hollywood’s biggest noir movies. We cover the iconic Humphrey Bogart and his literal presence in our lives, get into the vague history of the MacGuffin storytelling device, talk about how this is an actual mystery we traverse along with Sam Spade, and discuss how no one in the movie is really a good person—not least because everyone’s lying all the time. Katy shares a bonkers (but not so fun) fact concerning the falcon prop’s sculptor, Carrie liked the title treatment’s quotation marks, Maddy draws valid parallels between the “Fat Man” and Professor Slughorn, and Mack did some excellent real detecting and film analysis. We also come up with at least three different spin offs and/or sequels for the Maltese Falcon Cinematic Universe, Mack hosts the first partly-gay Pirate Corner™, we learn about Mary Astor’s secret diaries and what her casting meant to a contemporary audience, discuss the Hayes Code and The Celluloid Closet (again), and get into Guns-As-Penis-Metaphor tropes. We all lean in on our ‘40s radio persona for a bit and lament the lack of pirates and knights after a big title card promise. Give it a listen, baby doll!

Robert, Nat, and Cody take a journey back to the early days of the talkies, and prior to the Hayes Code, with 1933's THE INVISIBLE MAN.   It's safe to say that there's not much disagreement with the conventional wisdom on this film, but we talk about it at length. Plus a Cinecast tradition of mispronounced names lives on! You have to listen to find out who is continuing that tradition.    If that’s not enough, we spend the second half of the episode with Zach Snyder’s and Joss Whedon’s JUSTICE LEAGUE. It’s fair to say that we all had a lot of problems with the film amidst some highlights.

Osborne, Gardner Goldsmith and I continue our once-a-month listener participation live show where we discuss our recent shows, projects, challenges, investigations, etc... Discussed:A chronology of film and television self-censorship with many tangents 1. WHY THIS TOPIC? -censorship of the film, "The Interview" by Sony Pictures entertainment -What's unique about this situation? What isn't? -It is unlikely that North Korea is behind the hack: -Whether it's a legit cyber attack, an inside job by Sony or a government false flag the response from Washington is predictable 2. HISTORY - ESCALATION OF CENSORSHIP -Censorship increasing and decreasing were both gradual processes -first film censorship laws -movies were considered evil, similar to all new mediums at first -The First Amendment and "Community Standards" -1915 - Mutual Film Corporation v Ohio Industrial Commission, Supreme Court Case - Movies deemed "not free speech," so government censorship was "justified" - now they were just waiting for reasons to move in further -US v Motion Picture film The Spirit of 76 -The Fatty Arbuckle Scandal -Journalists like WR Hearst were pushing this idea that the business needed to be cleaned up -over 100 bills for censorship were submitted to congress in the early 1920s -defensive act: 1922 Motion Picture producers and Distributors of America start working with William H. Hayes. Hayes acts as a buffer between Hollywood and Washington, or a kind of lobbyist, PR -1927: committee formed to develop a list of 11 don'ts and 25 be-carefuls -then it escalates in 1927 with a new development - SOUND -because now who could go to the movies? children -and sound makes film even more real -1930 - Motion Pictures Production Code, Hayes Code -1934 - Production Code Administration studios agreed, kept Washington at bay, avoided boycotts aided mass production with a reliable formula -But who gets to have input? -Hitler in Hollywood? -Reticence of Jewish studio moguls 3. HISTORY - HOW THE CODE FALLS APART: -Reason #1: Supreme Court Decisions 1948 - United States v. Paramount Pictures, Inc. 1952 - Joseph Burstyn, Inc. v. Wilson -Reason #2: Competition Television, had an even stricter code Rod Serling explains how censorship led to the creation of ‘The Twilight Zone’ Foreign Films/ Art house Changing culture sexual content that would have previously been banned by the Code was being retained -Reason #3: REBELIOUS FILMMAKERS: Otto Preminger Billy Wilder's Some Like It Hot 1964 Sidney Lumet's "Pawnbroker" 1966 "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" 4. CENSORSHIP/CONTROVERSY AFTER THE CODE -1970-1972: It wasn't just the government and the church: The Godfather - Hollywood makes a deal with the mob -1971: Stanley Kubrick pulled A Clockwork Orange -UK: Kubrick asked Warner Brothers to withdraw the film from British distribution. In response to allegations that the film was responsible for copycat violence Kubrick stated: "To try and fasten any responsibility on art as the cause of life seems to me to put the case the wrong way around. Art consists of reshaping life, but it does not create life, nor cause life. Furthermore, to attribute powerful suggestive qualities to a film is at odds with the scientifically accepted view that, even after deep hypnosis in a posthypnotic state, people cannot be made to do things which are at odds with their natures." -US: The National Catholic Office for Motion Pictures rated it C ("Condemned"), a rating which forbade Roman Catholics seeing the film.
