Kathryn Bigelow has been thinking about the threat of nuclear war ever since she was a kid. “I come from the era of duck and cover,” she says, “where when I was very little, we had to hide under the desk in the event of an atomic bomb blast.”Over the last 40 years, she's been directing tightly-paced thrillers such as “The Hurt Locker” (which won her the Academy Award for best director) and “Zero Dark Thirty.” Her latest film, “A House of Dynamite,” takes on a question that has been on her mind for decades: What would happen if the U.S. were targeted by a nuclear missile? The film, which is out on Netflix, has struck a nerve with audiences, becoming the streamer's most-watched movie in the world and igniting conversation about the accuracy of its depiction of the U.S. missile defense system. Today on Post Reports, Elahe Izadi speaks with Kathryn Bigelow and with the film's screenwriter, Noah Oppenheim, about why they chose to make this film in this moment, and about how they responded when they saw news that the U.S. could restart nuclear testing for the first time in decades. Today's show was produced by Peter Bresnan and Josh Carroll, with help from Emma Talkoff. It was edited by Reena Flores and mixed by Sean Carter. Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

Kathryn Bigelow ist zurück. Und sie tut das mit einem Film, der wieder dort ansetzt, wo sie schon in “Zero Dark Thirty” oder “The Hurt Locker” glänzte: an der Grenze zwischen Macht und Zusammenbruch. In “A House of Dynamite” wird das Undenkbare wahr. Eine atomare Bedrohung steht im Raum, niemand weiß genau, woher sie kommt oder wie sie aufgehalten werden kann. Während in Washington die Minuten verrinnen, kämpft ein Netzwerk aus Militär, Politik und Beratern gegen das eigene System. Und gegen die Angst, die alles lähmt.Bigelow filmt das mit der Präzision einer Chirurgin. Ihre Kamera sucht Gesichter, nicht Explosionen. Sie interessiert sich nicht für den Knall, sondern für den Moment davor, in dem Menschen Entscheidungen treffen, die über Millionen Leben bestimmen. Die Spannung entsteht nicht durch Action, sondern durch Schweigen, durch die Schwere eines Blicks, durch das Geräusch eines Atemzugs im falschen Moment.Idris Elba und Rebecca Ferguson tragen Passagen des Films mit ruhiger Präsenz. Die Kamera von Barry Ackroyd fängt Gesichter und Räume mit dokumentarischer Genauigkeit ein, während Volker Bertelmanns Musik kaum hörbar, aber wirkungsvoll Spannung erzeugt. Alles wirkt bewusst reduziert, fast spröde, als wolle Bigelow vermeiden, dass Emotion über das Konzept hinauswächst.Inhaltlich ist “A House of Dynamite” zweifellos sehenswert. Doch nicht alles zündet, was Bigelow anlegt. Die Figuren bleiben in manchen Momenten distanziert, fast symbolisch. Der Film will viel, doch er schafft es nicht immer, seine Themen und Spannungsmomente in Einklang zu bringen. Trotz eindrucksvoller Szenen wirkt die Erzählung an manchen Stellen zu sehr mit sich selbst beschäftigt.Und trotzdem: Bigelow bleibt eine Meisterin der Atmosphäre. Sie inszeniert Macht und Ohnmacht mit der gleichen Ruhe, mit der andere Panik verbreiten. Ihr Film ist kein Spektakel, sondern ein Nachdenken über Kontrolle, Vertrauen und Verantwortung in Zeiten des Chaos. Am Ende bleibt weniger die Handlung als das Gefühl, Zeugin eines gewaltigen inneren Bebens gewesen zu sein.“A House of Dynamite” ist kein lauter Film, aber ein eindringlicher. Er fragt, wie lange man die Welt noch festhalten kann, wenn sie längst beginnt, sich selbst zu lösen. Get full access to Ronny Rüsch - Filmkritiker at hausmeisterronny.substack.com/subscribe

Movies might have us believe that bomb disposal comes down to cutting the right wire. In fact, explosive devices are complex and varied - and learning how to dispose of them safely involves intense training, as well as the ability to stay calm under pressure. This was the world of Dr Gareth Collett, a retired British Army Brigadier General and engineer, specialising in bomb disposal; whose 32-year military career took him around the world, including heading up major ordnance clearance projects in Iraq and Afghanistan. After retiring from the army, Gareth became a university lecturer – but following his diagnosis with bladder cancer, started researching a possible link between bomb disposal veterans and higher rates of urological cancers.In conversation with Professor Jim Al-Khalili, Gareth discusses this ongoing research, dealing with PTSD - and why he just can't watch Oscar-winning movie The Hurt Locker...Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced by Lucy Taylor for BBC Studios

In the heart of Beverly Hills, just after a red-carpet movie premiere, the life of Ronni Chasen, one of Hollywood's most connected and beloved publicists, came to a violent and mysterious end. On November 16, 2010, the 64-year-old was gunned down in her Mercedes-Benz while stopped at a red light. The shocking murder of the woman who helped secure Oscar Gold for films like Driving Miss Daisy and The Hurt Locker instantly made national headlines. Ronni's influential friends  quickly offered a combined $125,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. This massive reward signaled that her inner circle wasn't convinced the killing was a random act. A tip to America's Most Wanted led police to Harold Martin Smith, a man with a lengthy criminal record living in a rundown apartment complex. When confronted by detectives, Smith ended his own life with a .38 caliber revolver. The Beverly Hills Police Department officially closed the case in 2011, declaring Smith the sole killer and the motive of a random robbery gone wrong. However, this "solved" status remains highly controversial due to several glaring contradictions: Ronni's purse was untouched and nothing was taken, contradicting the robbery motive. Police claimed Smith was on a bicycle, but her autopsy report suggests an unknown vehicle pulled up beside her car. The ballistic evidence was inconclusive; documents revealed the findings were "insufficient for an identification" to definitively match the bullet to Smith's gun. Law enforcement was criticized for failing to interview multiple residents and for poor evidence collection.   Thank you to this week's sponsors!

The film received a massive wave of critical support after its long film festival run, which led to industry recognition, a historic Best Director win for Bigelow, making her the first female winner of the category, and Best Picture itself.

Join Tara Erickson & Aaron Alexander as they dive into Christopher McQuarrie's adrenaline-fueled 2015 installment, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation. When the IMF is shut down by a covert syndicate known only as “The Syndicate,” Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise, Top Gun: Maverick, Jack Reacher) goes off-book to stop a global conspiracy that threatens world order. Hunt is joined by the enigmatic double-agent Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson, The Girl on the Train, The White Queen), whose loyalties keep you guessing at every turn. Backing him up (and providing much-needed tech support) is Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg, Shaun of the Dead, Star Trek), while William Brandt (Jeremy Renner, The Hurt Locker, The Avengers) brings battlefield savvy to the team. The sinister mastermind Solomon Lane (Sean Harris, Prometheus, Macbeth) orchestrates chaos from the shadows, opposed by steadfast ally Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames, Pulp Fiction, The Transporter). Rounding out the ensemble are Atlee (Simon McBurney, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), the Syndicate's cold-hearted handler, and CIA Director Alan Hunley (Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock, The Departed), whose orders drive Hunt to desperate measures. Tara & Aaron break down every iconic sequence—from the opera-house break-in under the Vienna chandelier and the daring underwater vault heist, to the high-speed motorcycle chase through the narrow streets of Morocco and the gravity-defying cargo-plane finale. Don't miss their take on the film's jaw-dropping stunts, intricate espionage, and the moral tightrope Ethan walks between duty and trust.

For nearly as long as we've been waging war, we've sought ways to chronicle it. “Warfare,” a new movie co-directed by the filmmaker Alex Garland and the former Navy SEAL Ray Mendoza, takes an unorthodox approach, recreating a disastrous real-life mission in Iraq according to Mendoza's own memories and those of the soldiers who fought alongside him. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss how “Warfare” 's visceral account brings us closer to a certain kind of truth, while also creating a space into which viewers can project their own ideologies. The hosts consider how artists have historically portrayed conflict and its aftermath—referencing Virginia Woolf's depiction of a shell-shocked soldier in “Mrs. Dalloway” and Vietnam-era classics such as “Apocalypse Now” and “Full Metal Jacket”—and how “Warfare,” with its emphasis on firsthand experience, marks a departure from much of what came before. “That personal tinge to me seems to be characteristic of the age,” Cunningham says. “Part of the emotional appeal is, This happened, and I'm telling you. It's not diaristic—but it is testimonial.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Warfare” (2025)“Apocalypse Now” (1979)“Full Metal Jacket” (1987)“Beau Travail” (1999)“Saving Private Ryan” (1998)“The Hurt Locker” (2008)“Zero Dark Thirty” (2012)“Barry” (2018–23)“Mrs. Dalloway,” by Virginia Woolf“In Flanders Fields,” by John McCraeNew episodes drop every Thursday.

“I don't think it's a question of convincing people or convincing the world. My biggest hurdle was convincing myself.” Anthony Mackie on role of Captain America Pivot Family, We are back in New Orleans like we never left! Sitting with NOLA's hometown hero who's Hollywood's new Captain America, Anthony Mackie, is sharing his rise to stardom in the film industry and taking us through how it all started and the challenges faced along the way.  This open-book conversation between the guys is hilarious, riveting and full of energy and insight as we learn the real story behind a young black man who grew up in Louisiana with big screen aspirations and wasn't afraid to be different to pursue his dreams.  Anthony's message about not just making it to the top but sustaining both status and respect in the industry may be unconventional as he tells the guys that success is given and not earned and that we've been lying to our youth by telling them differently. He explains how life is pushing past doubt, embracing opportunities, and finding the strength to carry the weight of something bigger than yourself while relying on relationships to find the next best thing. Being Black has yielded him certain experiences as well as taught him that having one talent or one dimension isn't enough to stay successful but needing an arsenal is what it takes.  He talks about the differences between working actors and celebrities, including today's new wave of names and how the landscape has changed with social media. Anthony admits he never thought he'd be given the role of Captain America but gets vulnerable about the self-doubt he had to overcome... not convincing the world he could do it but convincing himself he was worthy of the role and what it means to represent the character in a new era.  Reflecting on his New Orleans upbringing, Anthony tells Ryan, Channing and Fred how guys from “the hood don't do theater” but he found his calling early on through his elementary teacher who recognized his potential and helped him discover New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA) which gave him a sense of belonging and further inspired his acting career.  Anthony shares stories and scenes that shaped him including what his rap battle with Eminem in 8 Mile truly signified, how he landed his role in Hurt Locker, how Don Cheadle inspired his craft and how having Denzel Washington as a mentor guided his career path by watching Denzel never be too big to do the little things that give passion purpose. Channing asks his Channing questions as he tells Captain America he's blown him away with a lot of his films but he didn't love his character portrayal of 2pac and also asks what led him to being ok playing a gay man.    Beyond the big screen, Anthony opens up about losing his mother and best friend as a teenager which was a dark time that ultimately pivoted him down a path to find light again and take acting more seriously. He also discusses the importance of masculinity, raising his four sons to be responsible men and instilling strong family values despite being divorced from their mother.   This episode is more than just Hollywood stories and laughs. It's about resilience, identity, and purpose. Anthony Mackie isn't just a mega star, he's a trailblazer in our time and proof that true leadership comes from honoring the past while inspiring the future. Learn more about your ad choices.

His colleagues described it as one of the "greatest single acts of bravery" they'd ever seen. In 2009, while deployed as part of an anti-explosives team in Kandahar, Bruno Guevremont became the only Canadian Armed Forces member to defuse a live suicide bomber. In episode two of Forgotten War, Guevremont describes the day that changed his life, the "cat-and-mouse game" between him and the Taliban during his second tour in Afghanistan, the difficulty of coming home, and how he healed from the psychological wounds that have been ignored throughout most of the history of war.

On episode 255 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by AwardsWatch contributors Dan Bayer, Jay Ledbetter, and Josh Parham to go back 15 years to take a look at the 82nd Academy Awards, celebrating the films of 2009. Fifteen years ago, after the Academy made an egregious snub and didn't include The Dark Knight in the Best Picture lineup, the Academy expanded the category to include ten films, in an effort to include a wider range of films that audiences had seen. The results ended up with one of the most balanced, representative selection of nominees in some time, with the biggest, highest grossing film of all time going up again the indie-war film, that would go on to win and make Academy history as the first female director to win Best Director (Kathryn Bigelow). In their in-depth discussion, the AW team talked about the film year of 2009, briefly discuss talk about The Hurt Locker as a Best Picture winner, do an extensive conversation over the below the line categories and nominees for the year, and then the new version of the AW Shoulda Woulda Coulda game, where instead of individual replacements, they must decide as a group who the nominees and winners should be in the top eight categories. The rules of the game state they can only replace two of the nominees that year from each category, except in Best Picture, where the group could replace up to three films to make up the final set of five nominated films. Like past retrospective episodes, it was a fascinating, fun conversation including spirited debates, alliances, vote swinging, celebrating various movies, performances that aren't normally talked about and more that we all hope you enjoy. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 2h40m. We will be back next week to do discuss the latest film release, Anora, and discuss our Top 5 Palme d'Or winners. Music: “Modern Fashion” from AShamaleuvmusic (intro), “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

The expression "the hurt locker" is a slang term for a situation involving trouble or pain, which can be traced back to the Vietnam War. According to the movie's website, it is soldier vernacular in Iraq to speak of explosions as sending you to "the hurt locker."   Did You Know This fact you piece of garbage

In this episode of our 2024 Kathryn Bigelow Marathon we are finally touching base with arguably the biggest success in her career, The Hurt Locker. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about whether this movie is Bigelow unfiltered, how her views on masculinity and genre have evolved over time and how her professional relationship with Mark Boal may have supercharged her own artistic interests. We also talk about renegade men who cannot be controlled, how the movie quietly comments on a lot of issues without giving any of them a straight prescription and how a POV filmmaking can enhance a verite aesthetic.

Together, they explore three films that arguably blur the line between being anti-war and glorifying it.Matt's three film recommendations for this episode include:Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket (1987)Sam Mendes' Jarhead (2005)Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker (2009)Throughout the episode, Matt provides in-depth history lessons on each war depicted in the films we discuss, allowing us to analyze them not only within their historical contexts but also considering the cultural climate in which they were released.Together, we break down the elements we appreciated in each film while also reflecting on our own contradictions in grappling with the allure of war movies.And, of course, we dive into whether these films really hit the mark with their anti-war message or miss it entirely. Expect equal praise and criticism of these iconic films!
