War Machine (Netflix) | Diesmal in Uniform: Reacher-Star Alan Ritchson stellt sich Drill und einer übermächtigen Bedrohung Stillgestanden! Denn Alan Ritchson ist ausnahmsweise nicht als Titelheld der Prime-Video-Serie "Reacher" im Einsatz, sondern bekommt es im neuen Netflix-Actionfilm „War Machine“ mit einer übermächtigen Bedrohung zu tun. Unter der Regie von Patrick Hughes, dem Macher der Actionkomödie "The Hitman's Bodyguard", schlüpft Ritchson in die Rolle eines Elite-Soldaten, der sich einem eskalierenden Einsatz stellen muss. Bis es jedoch zur großen Konfrontation kommt, erwartet das Publikum zunächst eine Mischung aus Drama, Drill und Dennis Quaid – keine wirklich üblen Zutaten für kurzweilige Streaming-Unterhaltung. Doch taugt der aktuelle Netflix-Titel der Woche tatsächlich als Empfehlung? Liefert „War Machine“ mehr als die imposante Präsenz seines Hauptdarstellers und wie viel High Concept steckt in diesem Action-Abenteuer? Diesen und weiteren Fragen gehen Theresia, Stu und Johannes auf den Grund. Viel Spaß mit der neuen Folge vom Tele-Stammtisch! Trailer Werdet Teil unserer Community und besucht unseren Discord-Server!

High concept ideas don't need studio money, just nerve, invention, and a willingness to get weird. This week on Binge Movies, Jason is joined by Paul from The Slashers and The Countdown to rank and eliminate a lineup of high-concept, low-budget films that swing big with limited resources. These are movies built on bold premises, scrappy execution, and the kind of creative problem-solving that only comes from constraint. Some stretch their ideas to the breaking point. Others prove that a great hook can outweigh a thin wallet. All of them raise the same question: when money is scarce, what really matters? El Mariachi (1992) Cube (1997) Primer (2004) The Man from Earth (2007) Coherence (2013)   Coming to you from the last video store in the universe...this is Binge Movies.Credits Host: Jason Produced by: Binge Movies Franchisees: Heather, Dan, Jason, Matt, Pete Support: patreon.com/bingemovies    

Dana Fox (WICKED, WICKED: FOR GOOD) returns to talk about high-concept movie ideas and why the premise matters more than ever.Dana breaks down what makes an idea market-ready, how to tell if a concept has real gas in the tank, and why emerging writers should focus on selling the idea before perfecting the execution. She also reflects on writing WICKED as two films, crafting emotional payoff over time, and why - even at the highest level - writing never gets easier. --- Looking for more support on your writing journey?

Rian Johnson (KNIVES OUT, LOOPER, STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI) joins Meg for a deep craft conversation about balancing bold, high-concept ideas with intimate emotional storytelling. Rian breaks down how character - not plot mechanics - is the engine behind mystery, world-building, and genre, from crafting unforgettable character introductions to using theme as a dramatic misdirection tool. They also explore how emotion drives high-concept rules, how to write suspects with clarity, and why outlining is essential when juggling complex narratives.

"High Concept" is sometime used as a derogatory term for movies that are more about a saleable idea than a good script. This installment of the podcast is definitely "high concept," but we can assure you, it still isn't particularly saleable. Struck hard upside the head by inspiration, Mike decided to do a show entirely dedicated to jazzers named Jason - without even one Moran in sight. The results may confound you or titillate you. Either way, we won't be winning any Oscars.

Brick (Netflix) | Filmischer Kick oder Karriere-Knick? Ey, lass mal wieder High-Concept machen! Aber ich hab nur ne geile Idee: Was ist, wenn in einem Wohnhaus plötzlich so 'ne schwarze Wand ist, die alle Bewohner einsperrt? Klingt geil, und wie gehts weiter? Muss ich mir denn alles bis zum Ende überlegen? Wir wissen nicht, ob diese Situation so passiert ist. Wir wissen aber nach der Sichtung von Brick, der ab dem 10. Juli 2025 exklusiv bei Netflix im Streaming-Abo erscheint, dass diese Szene kein unrealistisches Szenario ist. Der deutsche Millie Bobby Brown Matthias Schweighöfer ist am Start und darf/muss mit seiner Partnerin Ruby O. Fee herausfinden, welches Geheimnis diese ominöse Wand umgibt. Klingt spannend?

This episode of GBW has multiple examples of when a movie has a pretty cool concept but doesn't do nearly enough with it.Aside for that, these sixteen films run a gamut from rip-off 80's sci-fi, a 30-something cop going undercover in high school, one of the most miscast espionage thrillers ever, an odd choice for a disaster movie, a Lifetime movie with more grit than expected, two pals caught up in a crime scheme, the oddest Mill Creek entry yet and so much more!Thanks for listening!

In light of this week bringing us a holiday centered around feeling grateful and counting the many blessings in life, Mike sets the Thanksgiving table for Jay with a real cinematic turkey: ThanksKilling, a festive holiday offering filled with raunchy comedy and dime-store gore! More nap-inducing than tryptophan, but infinitely worse for one's health, Jay scarfs down helping after helping of the misadventures of a reanimated killer turkey before the guys move onto an inspired second course—their bottom five High Concept Films. This list of elevator pitches gone wrong is bound to leave a bad taste behind, so Mike and Jay add a bit of dessert by pitting four dinner-themed movies against each other in the most diverse game of Kick-Two, Pick Two ever! So shut off the football and put away that pumpkin pie because Filmjitsu is bringing you some Wild Turkey for dinner!

"High Concept" apparently means "really stupid and poorly thought out". Junior (1994) is a film that desperately tries to blend comedy, science fiction, and social commentary but ends up being a tedious and unenjoyable mess. Despite the star power of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny DeVito, and Emma Thompson, this movie falls flat in nearly every aspect, leaving the audience bored and disappointed. First and foremost, Junior is painfully boring. The premise of a man becoming pregnant, while initially intriguing, quickly loses its novelty. The plot drags on without any real momentum or excitement. Scenes that are meant to be humorous or touching instead feel forced and uninspired. The pacing is sluggish, and the film fails to maintain any level of engagement, making it a chore to sit through. Moreover, Junior manages to be offensively tone-deaf to the concept of motherhood. The film's portrayal of pregnancy and childbirth is shallow and insensitive, reducing these profound experiences to mere comedic fodder. The idea of a man experiencing pregnancy could have been an opportunity to explore gender roles and the challenges of motherhood with depth and respect. Instead, the film resorts to cheap jokes and superficial scenarios, trivializing the real struggles and emotions associated with pregnancy. The supposed comedy in Junior is another significant letdown. The humor is stale and predictable, relying heavily on tired stereotypes and physical gags. Schwarzenegger's attempts at delivering comedic lines are awkward and unconvincing, and even the usually reliable Danny DeVito seems to be going through the motions. Emma Thompson's character, while charming, cannot salvage the weak script and poorly executed jokes. The film fails to elicit genuine laughter, leaving viewers cringing rather than amused. In conclusion, Junior is a misguided attempt at comedy that misses the mark on multiple levels. It is boring, offensive to the concept of motherhood, and ultimately unfunny. Despite the talented cast, the film's lackluster execution and poor writing make it a forgettable and regrettable viewing experience. Save yourself the time and disappointment and give this movie a pass.

This time, a brace of movies starring the King of The High Concept, the man who starred as The Bigamist for Ida Lupino, a man who solves his own murder in DOA, and a man who must do battle with a serial killer and his own masculinity in The Hitch Hiker - Mr Edmond O'Brien! I'll tell you all about O'Brien's appearances in Columbia's first ever 3D movie, a noir mystery based on a Ralph Bellamy sci-fir classic, AND the brief but intriguing tale of a writer whose literary creation seems to have sprung to life from the page...

Welcome to The Best of Binge Reading 2023, Part Two, the second and final of our shows featuring the most listened to episodes on our popular fiction podcast, chosen solely on the basis of the number of times you, our audience, listened to them. It goes without saying they're all best sellers, authors at the top of their game. There's something for everyone here, nerve wrenching contemporary thrillers from Ireland, to a French love story from a well loved TV actress; a World War II spy mystery by an Australian - set in the House of Dior in Paris, and a riveting journey into the world of the famous Mitford sisters, once acclaimed as London society beauties and then reviled as rotten traitors. We present brief excerpts from each show, with links for where to find them if you'd like to hear more... As in previous years, we've selected shows that aired between Dec 1, 2022 and Dec 1, 2023. So here they are – excerpts from the top six shows of 2023 on The Joys of Binge Reading. Twisty Thrillers - Catherine Ryan Howard Irish thriller author Catherine Ryan Howard with her latest nerve shredding suspense Runtime. Catherine Ryan Howard - Thriller author It's a book that was shortlisted for the Irish Book Awards Crime Fiction Book Of The Year, and is a Top 10 Kindle Best Seller. She been dubbed the Queen of High Concept thrillers for her intricate plotting which require a special excel spreadsheet... First up I asked her about her revelation that Runtime was inspired by her actor brother, John Ryan Howard. Jenny Wheeler: You've said that the original idea was inspired by your brother. Can you tell us about that connection?  Catherine Ryan Howard:  Yeah, he loves when I do interviews about this book because he gets a mention. So, he is an actor, and a few years ago he was in an independent Irish horror movie called Beyond the Woods.  Of course, he was telling me all about the experience of being on set and one of the things he said, and in Beyond The Woods - if you read Runtime will sound very familiar because it was filmed in this house out in the middle of nowhere in the Cork countryside, in the dead of winter overnight. They were shooting everything at night, and he said one of the first things they did is the director had to go to the local police station and say, look, if someone calls you at four in the morning to say, ‘I hear screens, I think someone's getting murdered.' They're not. It's just us filming. And of course, being a crime writer, I immediately thought, what if it's someone getting murdered? That's a great cover story. You're giving yourself a bit of a bit of time to get away a head start. When I sat down to write the book, that idea went away and it turned into something else. Movie making is murder But that's the initial seed, and I loved the idea of there being a script for horror movie that when the actors go to film it, the same things that are happening in the script start to happen on the set, because of course your first question I think would be, is this really happening or is my director secretly filming me or something? It's hard to know what's real and what's not, and I think that's at the core of the novel. Jenny Wheeler: Yes, exactly. You do open with a scene where the director and an assistant go and knock on someone's door and say, ‘if you hear any screaming, don't worry.' And I immediately thought, oh, what a perfect cover for a crime. Exactly that. The story does show a very close understanding of the filming process, what happens on set, and all the different roles that there are in the production side of things. I wondered if you'd had any personal experience of that yourself. Catherine Ryan Howard: I really don't like, first of all, my brother was a great resource, of course, and I have a couple of other friends who'd be involved in the industry. So if there was something specific I wanted to know,

Alfred Hitchcock is one of American cinema's most daring risk-takers and experimenters. His filmmography is filled with wild experiments from single location movies like LIFEBOAT, ROPE, REAR WINDOW to rule breaking near avant garde stunners like PSYCHO and THE BIRDS. Today, Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill looks at 1948's ROPE (comprised of only 11 shots and filmed to look like one continuous take) and 1963's THE BIRDS (in which seemingly docile everyday birds attack a small Northern Californian town with little to no explanation). Craig marvels at ROPE's technique and THE BIRDS secondary, less talked about subtext about the chaos of lust and desire. We also repost SMC Pod #108 about the wonderful Spanish time travel movie TIME CRIMES and the low budget high concept feature. 

In another double-header, Ross and Tripp tackle two largely forgotten 1999 high concept comedies. Spoiler alert: it is also the most contentious episode yet, and some of their opinions might be surprising! They also touch on the recent Brendan Fraser renaissance, late career Christopher Walken, the Jersey Shore, misogyny, and Tripp's high school choir tour. Plus, a new feature where Tripp tries to figure out what he was seeing instead of these films in 1999. Intro and Outro Music: So Alive (Instrumental) by Jon Worthy

I'm your host, Jenny Wheeler, and on Binge Reading today, Catherine talks about her psychological thriller about an actress cast in a horror film that begins to mirror real life. And as well as talking about Run Time she also tells us how she plots her intricate stories - she has a very special Excel spreadsheet for the job - and how she came to be dubbed the Queen of High Concept thrillers.

*Insert train whistle here* It's Spooktacular Express week 3 and we're getting High Concept. There aren't many better (betterier?) ways to celebrate spooky season than curling up with your boo for a scary slasher flick. We've produced plenty of movies here at DT!HQ but none of them have been slashers. Opportunity knocked and we answered with web-based, stick figure-centric, flash game-inspired pitches to decide which flash game would make the best kitschy slasher movie! Todd comes in strong but it doesn't take long for him to pizza himself into a bad time. Matt has a bone to pick with 2001's Donnie Darko. Kyle sets a new record for longest walk on shortest pier which, on this show, is honestly the most impressive thing.   We made a lot of new friends this weekend at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo! If you're one of those new friends, welcome! Also, the show notes keep going, keep scrolling.

In today's episode from the archives, Bianca chats with bestselling author, Samantha M. Bailey, as well as Nita Pronovost, editor and vice president/editorial director at Simon & Schuster Canada, about the lessons all writers can learn from the thriller genre, including coming up with high concept premises; something known and unknown, something hidden and something shown; the labyrinth approach; considering your novel two halves when it comes to pacing; and how to nail your endings.  

On this week's Record Club, we are wrapping up our breakdown of the 2000s records of legendary prog band (and the most Jams & Tea-core artist there is) Porcupine Tree with a discussion and debate of the merits of their divisive 2009 concept record The Incident, fashioned as a 55-minute suite of 14 songs with an EP's worth of additional tracks tacked on. It's undeniably a messy record, but is it an underrated gem or a damp squib? Listen along to hear where the four of us fall, and let us know what YOU think at home!

This week, we're going high concept, we're going low concept... we're going rock opera and theatrical concert and Depression-era history.

Plus, we play I See What You Did There, "What a Concept!", and we delve deep into some philosophical bric-a-brac.

The Secret Movie Club Team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, and Craig Hammill) is joined by filmmaker Eva Doležalová to talk about Nacho Vigalondo's twisty two-million debut, Timecrimes (Los Cronocrímenes), and Eva's own experiences making her shorts Raven, Carte Blanche, and the upcoming Serpentine! Sci-fi seems to be the realm of high-concept low-budget greatness, with films like Coherence, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Melancholia, Shivers, and Cube; though Craig also brings up noir-riff Brick and horror-comedy Braindead. Connor expresses his admiration for M. Night Shyamalan. Edwin throws in Trainspotting to the mix.   https://vimeo.com/evadolezalova https://rsafilms.com/us/directors/eva-dolezalova
