Another podcast with just Phil and Jimmy sharing movies they think the other should watch. Phil's gung-ho on Saving Private Ryan for its gritty truth about war and the sacrifices. Jimmy's choice of Mr. Roberts hilights the reality of how war's waged and how its importance isn't always appreciated. Interesting observation about Jimmy's movies from Phil in this episode.
What does a doomsday drama about nuclear annihilation have in common with a breezy adventure set on the Greek isles? Just the year they hit the big screen. We explore why Fail Safe feels eerily prophetic in the age of AI, and whether or not Eli Wallach should have been doing brownface so much (he shouldn't have). It's Sidney Lumet's tense Cold War thriller Fail Safe, starring Henry Fonda and Walter Matthau, and Disney's sun-drenched mystery The Moon-Spinners, directed by James Neilson and featuring Hayley Mills and Eli Wallach.

Rekord är till för att slås och det är precis vad som sker i veckans avsnitt när vi recenserar den äldsta filmen hittills i Cinema Celsius drygt elvaåriga historia. Sebastian har backat bandet ända till 1940 för att hitta sitt val av retrofilm som är Vredens druvor, regisserad av John Ford och med storstjärnan Henry Fonda i huvudrollen.I övrigt hinner vi även med lite snack om Last of Us, The Handmaid's Tale och A Quiet Place: Day One.Trevlig lyssning! =)

When family stories become show biz stories, the world listens. Fitting that very bill we've got actor Keith Coogan, the grandson of the original child star, Jackie Coogan, whose namesake law in the state of California, is the first to safeguard the rights of young performers in Hollywood. Keith talks about growing up with this legend plus his own iconic roles as a prolific film and TV child actor!Keith's career proves that show business blood runs thick: He told his mother he wanted to act before he even knew of his family legacy. His great grandfather, Jack Coogan Sr. was a Vaudeville and silent film star. His grandfather, Jackie Coogan was known, in the 1920s as, “the most famous boy in the world!” Keith began booking roles by the age of eight and quickly became a go-to casting choice, for TV guest spots and commercials starring Henry Fonda and Robert Morse.Keith's show biz success made his grandfather proud but a little jealous and relieved when Keith developed into a working actor rather than America's darling.Keith tells us about the legendary events, which led to The Coogan Act - After Jackie's father died in a car crash, the young superstar's hard earned fortune was squandered by his stepfather.Passed in 1939, The Coogan Law requires that a portion of a child's earnings be placed in a blocked trust account until the child turns 18.Keith recalls with great fondness his experiences working with stellar casts and crews on the “Babysitter” cult greats, 'Adventures in Babysitting', and Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead. Plus Toy Soldiers, The Waltons and The Fox and The Hound.We play IMDB Roulette and get into Laverne and Shirley, Mork and Mindy, and Little House!In recommendations-- Weezy: Netflix series, North of NorthFritz: Book, How Democracies Die by Daniel Ziblatt and Steven LevitskyPath Points of Interest:Keith Coogan Keith Coogan on WikipediaKeith Coogan on IMDBKeith Coogan on InstagramKeith Coogan on XKeith Coogan on YouTubeKeith Coogan on FacebookKeith Coogan MerchNorth of NorthHow Democracies Die by Daniel Ziblatt and Steven LevitskyMedia Path Podcast

Alexander Horwath's Henry Fonda for President stands among the most notable releases of a still-young year, is certainly the most lauded essay film in recent memory, and was assuredly of personal interest when my friend Zach Lewis offered his approval. As adventurous and open-minded a cinephile as any I know, Zach has equal-parts interest in both the films of Henry Fonda and essayistic, landscape-centered cinema––some Thom Anderson or Harun Farocki come to mind with the former, James Benning the latter––in which Horwath is trading here. I couldn't have been happier to connect with him to discuss the film, and hope our chat is fruitful for you in turn.
El año pasado ganó el Oscar por su papel en “Oppenheimer”, en los últimos tiempos ha liderado varios años la lista de los actores mejor pagados del cine americano y acaba de cumplir 60 años. Nos referimos a Robert Downey Jr que es también la estrella del episodio de esta semana. Hemos preparado un reportaje sobre sus primeros años de carrera, el camino que le llevó a convertirse en lo que es hoy. Un camino, en su caso, bastante tortuoso. Aprovechando el estreno de la película “Peter Pan, pesadilla en Nunca Jamás” le damos un repaso a todas las adaptaciones al cine que ha tenido este personaje. “Tierra de audaces”, la película protagonizada por Tyrone Power y Henry Fonda sobre las aventuras de Jesse James y su hermano Frank, es el western que nos trae esta semana Jack Bourbon. Y hemos charlado también con Pedro Piñeiro, director del Ecozine, un festival centrado fundamentalmente en películas de temas socio ambientales que se celebra estos días en Zaragoza y otras localidades de Aragón y Navarra.

This Academy-award-winning 80s Flick is a captivating, emotionally charged drama that beautifully captures the complexities of love, aging, and family. Set in the tranquil, golden hues of a New England lake, the film brings together screen legends Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn in a final, unforgettable collaboration. Fonda portrays Norman Thayer, a witty but grumpy elderly man facing the challenges of growing older, while Hepburn shines as his vibrant and supportive wife, Ethel. When their daughter and her fiancé arrive for a summer visit, the peaceful lake becomes the backdrop for deep reflections and heartwarming moments of reconciliation. So power up the motorboat, grab your fishing poles, and watch out for the rocks in Pergatory Cove as Tim Williams and guest co-hosts, Ben Carpenter and Bethany Wells, discuss “On Golden Pond” from 1981 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast.Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:Leftover footage of Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn driving through the countryside of New Hampshire, as shown in the opening credits, was incorporated for the beginning of the 1982-1990 CBS sitcom "Newhart".Sources:Wikipedia, IMDB, Box Office Mojohttps://www.encyclopedia.com/arts/educational-magazines/golden-pondhttps://www.afi.com/news/afi-movie-club-on-golden-pond/Some sections were composed or edited by ChatGPT We'd love to hear your thoughts on our podcast!

Fue una de las pelirrojas míticas del cine clásico, como Katharine Hepburn, Maureen O'Hara o Rita Hayworth. Una gran actriz que era especialista en melodramas aunque cultivó casi todos los géneros. Nos referimos a Susan Hayward. Este 14 de marzo se han cumplido 50 años de su muerte y en este episodio recordamos su vida y su carrera.

Charlamos con Luisa Ezquerra una veterana actriz de doblaje que acaba de estrenar su primera película como protagonista. Y en la sección dedicada al western tenemos esta semana “Hasta que llegó su hora” de Sergio Leone, la película que convirtió a Henry Fonda en un canalla sin escrúpulos.

"MARY BETH HUGHES - CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH" - 3/03/2025 For those of you who don't know the charms of MARY BETH HUGHES, when she was under contract at MGM, she was dubbed "the poor man's LANA TURNER." It was a rather unfair assessment since MGM gave Lana all the plum roles, and Mary Beth got her hand-me-downs. But still, Mary Beth had great comic chops, and no one played bitchy, hard-boiled blondes as well as she. Despite her beauty and talent, she never managed to get out of B-pictures. She did have small parts in great films like The Women (1939) and The Ox-Bow Incident (1942). She played the good girl as often as she played the bad girl, but when she played bad....you were in for a treat. Her pouty lips, snappy dialogue, and petulant attitude lit up many a lackluster production. This week, we celebrate her as our Star of the Month. SHOW NOTES: Sources: The Official Mary Beth Hughes Website; “Mary Beth Hughes, Born in Alton, Benign Groomed for Stardom in Movies,” January 4, 1939, Alton Evening Telegraph; “Mary Beth Hughes,” October 1971, by T.P.
