Frei nach Anthony Quinns Roman „Curtain Call" erzählt der Film von einer fiktiven, traditionsreichen Zeitungsredaktion im London von 1934, als der britische Faschismus boomte und Homosexualität noch eine Straftat war. Titelheld ist der berühmte Theaterkritiker des Blattes, gespielt von Ian McKellen, Shakespearedarsteller und natürlich Gandalf aus „Herr der Ringe". Als der neue Verleger den Kurs der Zeitung umsteuern und Gewinne maximieren will, setzt sich der Kritiker zur Wehr.

Listen in and find out what we thought!

But that wasn't the only news out of Gamescom this week, another Bethesda title is going multiplatform, old franchises are returning, and new adaptations are unexpectedly coming! Also, don't go after actors for roles they play, they aren't really those characters! Meanwhile, Deadpool & Wolverine continues to break records, Indiana Jones's hat sells for over $600k, and The Acolyte is sent packing.

The second Stephen King novella from the Different Seasons collection. We talked about the book and its subsequent film. Quite dark, extremely heavy, and definitely not “Shauna friendly”. We both agree, we're not really geeking out about this particular one. If WWII themes, murder, or David Schwimmer bother you, trigger warning!Today's root beer is XXX. Don't worry, it's still Shauna friendly!Intro and Outro music by Stockmusic331 on Pond5Send us a Text Message.

He co-wrote 'A Handful of Dust', 'Where Angels Fear to Tread' and more recently 'My Little Pony: A New Generation' which shot to the number one movie slot worldwide on Netflix in its first week of release. He is now the author of a series of crime novels which are gripping, clever and twisty, yet also touching and funny, featuring a brilliant detective DS George Cross who has Autism Spectrum Disorder. It has been hailed as the best detective series since Sherlock Holmes. His latest novel in the series, 'The Teacher', is out in paperback on Thursday. Tim discusses the joys and woes of writing for Hollywood, his writing process, advice for aspiring writers and the surprising way he plots his novels. My conversation with Tim is out today!

Re-watch Podcast Episode IV Day Howdy my fellow spacefarers! Thanks for being patient while we take our time getting these episodes out. I appreciate all 22 subscribers we have on Youtube and the many more we have on Spotify, Apple podcasts, and whichever podcast app you choose. we are doing things out of things a little out of order here. why? well, there are no rules when it comes to podcasting. Also, by far, episode four of the Acolyte has been the best. Overall, I think the series is beginning to pick up speed. Before you ask, yes, we will go back and record episodes for the past episodes we missed. I have been avoided any other content/media out there so as not to poison my opinion. Through the cracks in reddit, I have managed to see some overwhelmingly negative opinions posted and also some very strong evidence countering those negative opinions. More than the characters, dialog, setting, etc, I am enjoying the sense of mystery the show conveys. It makes you wonder who is telling the truth. Is is the jedi? Is it Mae? Sol? Qimir? We will have to watch and see. Of course the standout moment in this episode is the reveal of the dark warrior with the red lightsaber to the Jedi. What an entrance! It was a definitely a super villain introduction for the character. Reminiscent of Ian McKellan's Magneto in X-Men franchise. Very interesting design too. Not only to obscure the identity but, the jagged teeth look very threatening. I will leave it at that but, am very much looking forward to the next episode as well as going back to the previous ones to do a deeper dive and find any hidden details.

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris send their minds 10 years into the past to discuss X-Men: Days of Future Past for its 10th anniversary.The follow-up to X-Men: First Class, Days of Future Past combined the new cast introduced in Matthew Vaughn's movie with the OG Fox X-Men cast for a battle across time as Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) gets his consciousness sent back to 1973 to prevent the events that lead to a dark future where mutants (and their human allies) are hunted by the ruthless robots known as Sentinels. Zach and Chris talk about how terrible the Sentinel design is, the still incredible Quicksilver (Evan Peters) slo-mo sequence, the fun bits of alternate history, how exactly Hank's (Nicolas Hoult) serum gives Charles (James McAvoy) back the ability to walk, the Timecopesque implications of the ending scene and more.X-Men: Days of Future Past is available to stream on Max.

The boys talk about AJ's pick this week, 1994's The Shadow directed by Russell Mulcahy. Starring Alec Baldwin, Penelope Ann Miller, Ian McKellan, Peter Boyle and Tim Curry. Could Alec play Batman?

First broadcast on May 07, 1986.

Dennis is joined via Zoom by filmmaker Sam Irvin. Sam is the author of the memoir I Was a Teenage Monster Hunter, which is about his childhood obsession with horror movies and the interviews he conducted with horror personalities for his fanzine Bizarre. Sam talks about his Cinema Paradiso-esque childhood; working at his family-owned movie theater, having to change the marquee when he was afraid of heights, getting to take home the posters after a film's run and cleaning up vomit after screenings of The Exorcist. He also talks about his creative and personal relationship with Cassandra Peterson AKA Elvira Mistress of the Dark. He recalls how he got the job directing Elvira's Haunted Hills, bonding over sad Joni Mitchell music and how just this year, he and Cassandra took a tour group of 30 Elvira super fans to visit the Haunted Hills locations in Romania and Transylvania. Sam also talks about being more in demand as a director at 67 than ever before. He's directed seven Hallmark and Lifetime films in the past 12 months, including this month's Love In Zion National: A National Park Romance and the holiday film Check Inn to Christmas. Other topics include: cold-calling his way into becoming Brian DePalma's assistant, Ian McKellan's naked prank on the set of Gods and Monsters, directing three seasons of the gay vampire series Dante's Cove and getting to visit the set of the James Bond film The Man With the Golden Gun when he was 18 and hearing sex stories from a drunk Herve Villechaize in the back of a Rolls Royce afterwards. 

Picture it: Ian McKellan in a wizard hat surrounded by a green screen. Is that what artificial intelligence in the entertainment industry looks like? It certainly is a step toward incorporating the powerful modeling tools computers can use to generate scenery like the Mines of Moria. But how much further might AI move beyond today's standard movie-making video vfx? Alexis Kirke and Richard take listeners on a tour of the possibilities. Listen and learn Offer: Magnesium is integral for 600+ biochemical processes in the human body. The common misconception is that consuming more magnesium will automatically improve health and well-being. The truth is that there are various forms of magnesium, each of which is essential for a variety of physiological processes. Most people are inadequate in all forms of magnesium, while even those considered "healthy" typically only ingest 1 or 2 kinds. Consuming all 7 of magnesium's primary forms is the key to accessing all its health benefits.That's why we packed 7 forms of 450mg of elemental magnesium into each serving of  Wild Mag Complex. One dose a day is all you need. Learn more and grab a bottle today at WildFoods.co. Use code GENIUS for 10% off your order. Some of the philosophical differences artists might leverage when merging artificial intelligence and human behavior, How shows can be broken down into different elements and adjusted by a user's smart control, and How might the story line itself modulate with artificial intelligence methods and what are the challenges to this. Alexis Kirke is a senior research fellow at the School of Humanities and Performing Arts and with the Faculty of Arts at the University of Plymouth, England. He's a screenwriter and quantum/AI programmer and shares intriguing AI ideas with listeners. Examples of AI most familiar to listeners include the blending of artificial and natural scenes in Marvel franchise movies or recreations of film stars no longer with us like Princes Leia in a recent Star Wars film. Alexis Kirke sees the blending of artificial and human intelligence as much more than automation in the film industry. Rather, he sees creative potential in how humans and machines collaborate, making each other more powerful and inspiring. In addition to contemplating possibilities, he helps listeners understand the practical uses. For example, adapting a TV program for someone with hearing difficulties in a meaningful way is more possible than ever. Creators have broken down all the sound elements in a piece and rated each one with narrative importance—someone could have an intelligent volume control and turn down the sounds in inverse relative importance, emphasizing only the most essential noises for the story. The job of the production team is only to break these elements down. The individualization is up to the device of the viewer. But of course, it goes far beyond this and he and Richard talk about the extent to which a story might be alterable as well as scenery and actors. Listen in for an entertaining discussion about the movies. For more about his work, see his website at alexiskirke.com. Episode also available on Apple Podcasts: http://apple.co/30PvU9C

An very old ep. David & Joe decide to see who's around mid pod so they call actress Susannah Fielding. It's more a guest meander than an interview. After some prompting, she tells David & Joe she misses them. They talk about their sitcom Cockfields and Ben Rufus-Green hops on the chatabus. He does a weird Ian Mckellan impression. It's all rather disjointed !Follow Chatabix on Twitter & Instagram:twitter.com/chatabix1www.instagram.com/chatabixpodcast/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chatabix Hosted on Acast.

It's hard to believe this movie is 19 years old! We welcome back John to the podcast for this episode (and, unfortunately, lose Stew) as we discuss the good, the bad (is there any?) and the ugly of Part Three.

EPISODE 78: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: 12 Republicans join the Democrats to give the codification of Marriage Equality a filibuster-proof majority. The Respect for Marriage Act will be law by Christmas (2:37) It seems so obvious; it is in fact breathtaking. 14 years ago a Democratic candidate could be elected POTUS without endorsing same-sex marriage. 26 years ago a Democratic president could sign legislation defining marriage as only between a man and a woman (4:02) And 14 years and exactly one week ago, I could startle viewers, my bosses, and some liberals by decrying the passage of Prop 8 in California - which TOOK AWAY Marriage Equality awarded by the courts - in a Special Comment called "A Question of Love" (12:15) This is how far we have come: Two months later I was approached by Sir Ian McKellan who said that the fact that I was able to incorporate those opinions into an American cable newscast meant "some of my hope for the future is restored." Today, with the path to codified Marriage Equality assured, some of MY hope for the future is restored. B-Block (17:48) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Penny, in Missouri (18:50) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Mike Pence defies Congress (and logic), now it's Stu Varney trashing Trump (to Trump's daughter-in-law), and a Democrat beats a Faux Democrat in LA (20:22) IN SPORTS: Two unanimous Cy Young Winners for the first time since Bob Gibson's 1.12 ERA and Denny McLain's 31 wins, Virginia cancels its football game, Kyrie coming back - but why? (23:11) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Laura Ingraham continuing to try to make the fabricated Pelosi Conspiracy Theory happen and Chris Licht drowning at CNN, compete with the executives of MSNBC, NBC News, and NBC. After getting fricasseed for firing Tiffany Cross to appease fascists like Tucker Carlson, they knew what to do: Trash her anonymously in The New York Post. C-Block (32:21) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: 30 years ago today, the Colorado Rockies and then-Florida Marlins were born in the baseball expansion draft which I anchored on ESPN. The draft followed one of the weirdest you're-gonna-die-on-THAT-hill things I ever witnessed in sports broadcasting. But most importantly: I can now confess that to get the scoop as to who would be the first pick, I did a terrible, terrible thing ;-)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
