Podcasts about Horatio Hornblower

Your podcast heroes treat themselves to the very finest vintage in the Trek cannon in one of our Patreon reviews - "The Wrath of Khan"! We absorb Trek asserting itself as a genuine dramatic world, the Horatio Hornblower in space vibe, and how this made everything else Trek even possible. 

Takes on the French Fleet

"What's to happen is, you will become proper hosts. And draw tunics of the red bright light company of the South Essex, and you will hand in your precious lavaliers and draw proper microphones to go along with being proper dressed. Fit for podcasts at last!" Matt & Connor choose this moment to draw Peter into the world of Sharpe and his Company. This entry is decidedly less Horatio Hornblower and more Thin Red Line than the last few entries, but we find plenty to talk about...not least of which Star Wars.

A Prisoner in 1811

Boldly go into our most gloriously geektacular (and yes, longest) episode as Javi and Paul embark on an epic exultation of the soaring sacred text that is STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN. On June 4, 1982, Nicholas Meyer arguably saved the franchise by redefining it as a space opera mashup of Horatio Hornblower and Run Silent Run Deep, with a virtuosic score by the great James Horner. Instead of making sequel to 1979's STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE, Meyer cunningly chose to forge a follow-up to the 1967 episode “Space Seed,” reuniting Ricardo Montalban with the iconic role of Khan, unleashing his towering performance as the ultimate antagonist. (And stick around until the end for a shocking decision about what our next movie will be!)

Admiral Thomas Cochrane, was the inspiration for C.S. Forester's naval hero Horatio Hornblower or Patrick O'Brian's, Jack Aubrey (played by Russell Crow in the film, “Master and Commander”).Largely forgotten to the general public, yet he was one of the Royal Navy's most audacious and feared commanders during the Napoleonic Wars, known to his enemies as the wolf of the sea and El Diablo (the devil). In a rollercoaster career, he didn't just fight in the Royal Navy but also in the navies of Chile, Brazil and Greece in their wars of independence too.An engineer, who worked with the father of Isambard Kingdom Brunel and whose inventions are still used today; he eloped with a woman 20 years his junior and was humiliatingly thrown out of parliament and stripped of his knighthood after being convicted of serious fraud.He ended his days, honour restored and is buried in Westminster Abbey.The life of Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane (Lord Cochrane / Earl Dundonald) is one heck of a story!Get my free weekly newsletterSupport the Show.

The man you just heard is Herb Vigran, being interviewed by Chuck Schaden in 1984. He's about to be featured on Family Theater. The show was created by Patrick Peyton of the Holy Cross Fathers. Mutual Broadcasting donated time under four conditions: It had to be a drama of top quality; strictly nonsectarian; feature a film star; and Father Peyton had to pay the production costs. Peyton met Loretta Young, who advised him on how to approach A-listers. She became the “first lady” of Family Theater. Between 1947 and 1957, there were hundreds of dramas broadcast. Few used religion of any kind in the plot. However, by September of 1957 Mutual Broadcasting was phasing out radio drama. As Herb Vigran mentioned, Hollywood's character actors were doing as much TV as possible. When Family Theater aired its last episode on Wednesday, September 11th at 8:35PM Pacific time over KHJ in Los Angeles, the only other dramatic radio shows on KHJ that night were Gangbusters and Horatio Hornblower. This is from that last episode, fittingly called “Roadshow.” Lilian Buyeff played Helen Blackwell. After the episode ended, Joan Leslie came back on with the final PSA in Family Theater history.

Bring on the battalion of Dad Books! Cornwell started writing the Richard Sharpe novels because he wanted something like Horatio Hornblower on land. Well, we haven't read any Hornblower yet but we can attest that this book sure is about a British rifleman fighting in the army during the Napoleonic Wars!

The Adventures Of Horatio Hornblower - Horatio Captures the Natividad From-1952 Stars-Michael Redgrave After so many years Horatio Hornblower still feels a sense of shame of his temporary dependence on the mad Don Julian who believed himself a divine being and above the laws of man.

In September of 1952, Orson Welles worked with the BBC for a portrait of early American director Robert Flaherty. Flaherty, who directed the first docu-drama film, Nanook of the North in 1922, had passed away the previous July. As Welles just mentioned, when he got to Hollywood in the late 1930s, he was fascinated by the early film people, and they were more than happy to share their stories with the then-Boy Wonder. In April of 1953 the BBC hired Welles to read one hour of poetry from Walt Whitman's “Song of Myself.” The next month the Italian comedy Man, Beast and Virtue debuted, in which Welles co-starred. From September 7th into October, Welles was involved with Ballet de Paris at the Stoll Theatre in London for a production of The Lady in the Ice. In October the production moved to Paris. Welles directed, wrote the libretto and was the ballet's costume and set designer. He later told Peter Bogdonovich, “It was very successful in London, and only moderately so in Paris, where it was very badly lit — as everything always is in Paris. The plot is: a girl's been found, like dinosaurs have been found, in a block of ice. And she's on display in a sort of carnival. A young man falls in love with her, and his love melts the ice. And when she kisses him, he turns to ice. A little parable for our times.” It would be the only ballet Orson Welles' ever directed. In late September of 1953 Broadcasting Magazine reported that Harry Alan Towers had sold shows to both ABC and NBC for the fall. ABC would welcome Horatio Hornblower back for a second season, starring Michael Redgrave. Meanwhile on NBC, a new half-hour anthology program starring Sir Lawrence Olivier called Theatre Royal would take to the air. The program debuted on October 4th, 1953 with Orson Welles starring in an adaptation of Alexander Pushkin's “The Queen of Spades.” Pushkin wrote “The Queen of Spades” in the fall of 1833. It's a short story about how human greed can lead to madness. Theatre Royal was developed to capitalize on Lawrence Olivier's name. At the time the program launched, Olivier and then-wife Vivian Leigh were getting set to appear in Terence Rattigan's comedy, The Sleeping Prince in the West End. The play would run for eight months. It made Olivier temporarily unable to star in his own program. Many fine actors of the British stage and screen were involved in individual episodes of Theatre Royal, like Robert Morley, Harry Andrews, Muriel Forbes, and Daphne Maddox. The music was credited to Sidney Torch. Once Sir Lawrence Olivier could no longer appear, Sir Ralph Richardson took over as host of Theatre Royal. Selected episodes were repeated, with a different series opening and closing on ABC Mystery Time in the late 1950s. The show remained in active syndication in the U.S. into the 1970s. Welles briefly returned to America to make his first appearance on TV, starring in the Omnibus presentation of King Lear, broadcast live on CBS on October 18th, 1953. It was directed by Peter Brook, and co-starred Natasha Parry, Beatrice Straight and Arnold Moss.

Regrets. I've had a few. Has Picard? We watched two episode of a Star Trek show and had positive and negative reactions. What kind of references worked well and which felt unsatisfying? Can a viewer who knows nothing about Trek have an emotional reaction to a callback to a show from 30 years ago? Turns out it's all in how you use it. [*editors note: Horatio Hornblower. He knows]

Lux Radio Theatre, sometimes spelled Lux Radio Theater, a classic radio anthology series, was broadcast on the NBC Blue Network (1934–35) (owned by the National Broadcasting Company, later predecessor of American Broadcasting Company [ABC] in 1943–1945); CBS Radio network (Columbia Broadcasting System) (1935–54), and NBC Radio (1954–55). Initially, the series adapted Broadway plays during its first two seasons before it began adapting films. These hour-long radio programs were performed live before studio audiences. The series became the most popular dramatic anthology series on radio, broadcast for more than 20 years and continued on television as the Lux Video Theatre through most of the 1950s. The primary sponsor of the show was Unilever through its Lux Soap brand.

Welcome to the Honorverse Today podcast! We're glad you found us. We're excited to have you enjoy the adventures of Honor Harrington with us as we work our way through this 14-book series written by David Weber. Styled after the classic Horatio Hornblower series, we'll experience the naval adventures of exploration, military service, and combat—all brought into deep space. As the series begins, we meet Commander Honor Harrington, an already seasoned officer, and the captain of one of the Queen's combat ships in the Royal Manticoran Navy. As the series progresses, we'll watch Honor accept new challenges and grow as an officer, leader, and commander. She influences those assigned to her command, while being influenced by officers her senior. She makes her share of great decisions, and mistakes. Along the way we'll experience tactics, large scale operations, and even the use of the military alongside other instruments of power for strategic purposes. This series started in the 1990s, but it's still as fresh and full of adventure today as it was when each novel was originally published. Your hosts (Jim, Raul and JP) are avid readers and science fiction fans who enjoy reading a good book, then sitting around the table to talk about what we read. We sincerely hope you'll grab a copy of each of these books, read along, and then join in on the discussion. The podcast isn't necessarily a rehash of the story and is structured assuming you've read the book. Even so, if you haven't, the discussion may fuel an interest in reading these wonderful novels right along with us! The first novel in the set is “On Basilisk Station”. Grab a copy, and as Honor Harrington is fond of saying, “Let's be about it!” You can find us, and all our episodes at http://honorverse.net, and email us at honorverse@tpenetwork.com. We look forward to hearing from you.

Eugene Wesley Roddenberry was a legend of Hollywood in his day. He grew up reading science fiction serials and adventure novels like C.S. Forester's “Horatio Hornblower,” and they inspired him to become a writer. After a career in the US Army Air Force, as a commercial pilot, and as a Los Angeles police officer, he started writing television scripts and shopping them around Hollywood. His antics in the office and in his personal life earned him respect and disdain in equal measure, and his stories reflected both the events of his life and the beliefs he held. The tales he told showed audiences a vision of humanity that was beyond greed, beyond war, beyond poverty, and largely beyond our reach even today. Join us as we teach you about Geen Roddenberry, his life, his influence on science fiction and pop culture, and his vision for humanity. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/15minutehistory/support

This week, James and Toby talk about the Delingpoles recent holiday in Costa Rica (he loved the wildlife, but not the masks) and then it’s on to the events of the week: The £400m release of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Anoosheh Ashoori from Iran, Elon Musk’s proposal to wrestle Vladimir Putin for Ukraine, whether or not James is suffering from ‘oikophobia' (Roger Scruton's word for people who loathe and detest their own country), the ongoing war in Ukraine and whether it really is going as badly for Putin as the mainstream media and Western politicians maintain, and finally, the horror that is the Online Safety Bill. In Culture Corner, Horatio Hornblower, Somerset Maugham and The Ipcress File. Opening sound this week, Nadine Dorries, the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, on the Online Safety Bill courtesy of This Morning on ITV.

From Hell's heart, we take a stab this week at encompassing the excellence of "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan"!New York Times and USA Today best-selling author David R. George III returns to the show to discuss the sequel to "The Motion Picture" and many fans' pick for the best Star Trek film. As he turns 50, Admiral Kirk has resigned himself to the fact that his days of space-faring danger are behind him. But when an old flame asks for his help recovering a dangerous experiment, he'll learn that danger isn't through with him and that some debts can never be repaid. "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" wasn't exactly a failure, but Paramount had no interest in spending another $45 million dollars while dealing with Gene Roddenberry. So instead, they spent $12 million dollars and hired TV producer Harve Bennett to make the sequel to the first film. Eventually, Bennett hired novelist, screenwriter, and Trek virgin Nicholas Meyer to direct (and later write) the film. Meyer envisioned Star Trek II as a rollicking naval adventure in the style of Horatio Hornblower . . . apparently unaware that the British naval hero was one of the chief inspirations for the Original Series. Meyer changed a lot about what audiences knew about Trek, both on the big and small screen, but he did so in a way that only underlined the core of the characters we had come to know and love. On this episode, we talk about the human and relatable themes in WoK, Meyer's incredible achievement in writing the script in 12 days, the bold use of negative space in the film, the film's impressive editing, the controversies associated with the film, and its lasting legacy.We also discuss getting old, literary antiheroes, injecting some fresh blood, bucking tradition by embracing a different one, fixing the air conditioner, and killing Spock the *right* way!It's the most fun movie about, death, loss, and absentee parenting!Learn more about David's work and read his film reviews!https://drgiii.comhttps://moviereviewsbygeorge.com/Learn the story behind your favorite Trek episodes with BackTrekking!http://www.twitter.com/backtrekkingLend us an ear on Facebook and Twitter and the Just Enough Trope Discord!http://www.facebook.com/eistpodhttp://www.twitter.com/eistpodhttps://discord.gg/WVvCHVWqzfBuy us an apple on Patreon and Ko-Fi!http://www.patreon.com/eistpodhttps://ko-fi.com/E1E01M2UASubscribe to the show on iTunes!https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/enterprising-individuals/id1113165661?mt=2

Jack Benny is one of the great American comedians. His work spans the 20th century, from vaudeville to radio and movies to TV. In vaudeville, he delivered the snappy comebacks and one liners with intelligence and wit, but it was only with the continuing development of his personal trait comedy that he really became the Jack Benny we all know so well. "Who else could play for four decades the part of a vain, miserly, argumentative skinflint, and emerge a national treasure? The secret of his success was deceptively simple: he was a man of great heart." That's John Dunning's assessment from "On the Air, The Encyclopedia of Old Time Radio," which gives a great history of the man and his show. "Where would I be today without my writers, without Rochester, Dennis Day, Mary Livingstone, Phil Harris, and Don Wilson?" Benny asked in Newsweek in 1947.
