Click here to try it out!This week the dads step into glamorous 1960s Europe with Blake Edwards' The Pink Panther (1963) — the first outing for Peter Sellers' bumbling Inspector Clouseau.For many of us, this was like watching it for the first time. Sure, we'd caught bits on Sunday TV over the years, but sitting down start-to-finish was a new experience — and a surprising one. Despite being branded a Clouseau movie, Sellers actually takes a back seat to David Niven's dashing jewel thief Sir Charles Lytton and Robert Wagner's playboy nephew George.We dig into:The film's mix of heist caper and sixties sex comedy — sometimes charming, sometimes painfully long.Sellers' scene-stealing slapstick: globes, violins, and his endless (and fruitless) attempts to seduce his wife.David Niven's unlikely role as a 50-something ladies' man — suave or just icky in hindsight?The technicolour glamour of Cortina ski resorts, high society parties, and that unforgettable animated title sequence.Whether The Pink Panther works better as a star vehicle for Niven/Wagner or as a platform for Sellers' Clouseau — and why the sequels got the balance right.It's long, it's dated, it's occasionally hilarious — and it launched one of cinema's most iconic comedy characters.

Mit einem Trick schafft Sellers (geb. am 8.9.1925) es ins Radio, als Pink-Panther-Inspektor Clouseau nach Hollywood. Er ist ein Meister der Imitation, dem der Ruhm zusetzt. Von Axel Naumer.

This week, our two former puppeteers revisit the delightfully bizarre—and terribly provocative—Peter Sellers episode of The Muppet Show. Sellers arrives not as himself, but as every outrageously caricatured persona you can imagine: a fiddle-playing Romani, an overbearing German masseuse channeling Dr. Strangelove, a regal (and bearded) Queen Victoria, and a cryptic cameo as Inspector Clouseau himself.We celebrate Sellers' chameleon-like genius—but we also confront the problematic stereotypes. Many sketches now come with legitimate cultural baggage. The torqued-up massage gag, for example, walks a fine line between homage and grotesque parody. All the while, Sellers' famous existential quip—"There is no me… I had it surgically removed"—adds an unsettling and surreal layer to the slapstick.Making this episode even more a mixed bag, we find a legendary performance from Kermit that is equal parts beautiful and empowering. Join us as we unpack the comedy, the controversy, and the poetry of this episode; and why revisiting it forces us to laugh, cringe, and reflect—all at once.Join the discussion on our discord! https://discord.gg/JDtWJrhPF6Follow us on twitter @PMoNPodcast and on Instagram and Threads @puppetmastersofnoneFind out more about the puppet masters on our website: https://puppetmastersofnone.wixsite.com/puppetmastersofnoneOriginal Music Composed by Taetro. @Taetro  https://www.taetro.com/Send us a text

In this extended interview, comedy legend Eddie Murphy sits down with TODAY's Al Roker to talk about his new buddy action-comedy, “The Pickup.” He opens up about the catchphrases we still quote today, what keeps him busier than ever, and how he hopes to be remembered. Plus, he reveals he'll be stepping into some very famous shoes — playing Inspector Clouseau in the new “Pink Panther” movie.

On today's episode, we break down the viral moment when CNBC's Jim Cramer dropped an F-bomb (and followed it up with the Lord's name in vain) live on Squawk on the Street while discussing the U.S.–EU Trade Deal. Co-hosts David Faber and Carl Quintanilla laughed it off, but Cramer quickly apologized on air and worried about the fallout. We also dive into other trending stories: a monster truck tire flies out of the arena and crushes a car in Washington, Eddie Murphy confirms he's playing Inspector Clouseau in a new Pink Panther movie, and a Massachusetts woman is attacked by a raccoon on her own back deck.Short, sharp, and filled with the moments everyone's talking about.

Send us a textIronically its Lost In Translation Month (not just the movie but the theme as well)Today were talking about:This week, we clumsily stumble our way through The Pink Panther (2006) — the remake that dared to ask: “What if Steve Martin had a mustache and absolutely no chill?”There's a diamond. There's a murder. But mostly, there's a lot of pratfalls, French gibberish, and a detective so bad he makes Scooby-Doo look like Sherlock Holmes.We break down the chaos, the comedy, and why Beyoncé was somehow in this movie. Also, we still don't know who let Clouseau have a badge. Or a trench coat.

Commissioner Dreyfus had for years wanted to see his infuriating underling Inspector Jacques Clouseau dead and buried and for a while, with the death of Peter Sellers in 1980, it seemed like the shambolic Sûreté shamus had indeed been laid to rest...... Until somebody had the bright idea of filming two new movies back-to-back trading on the Clouseau character - after all, the Pink Panther film series had been a massively successful franchise, why spoil it all just because the main actor was dead?First was Trail Of The Pink Panther which featured out-takes and deleted scenes from previous films, which was bad enough. Then Blake Edwards ran out of old footage so hit upon the idea of introducing a brand new character for the second feature, Curse Of The Pink Panther. This bumbling new detective, Clifton Sleigh, would be tasked with finding the missing Inspector Clouseau, and in the course of which would be just as hapless and hilarious and hopefully be seen as the heir to Sellers. In fact, the idea was to make six more films with Sleigh! I know right? It didn't quite work out. Jon Auty from Behind The Stunts joins Tyler to pick over the bones of this thoroughly-flogged dead horse and while acknowledging one or two genuine titters and some pretty impressive stunt work there's little else of any merit. Ted Wass, as Sgt Clifton Sleigh, tries to make the most of what he's given to work with (including an inflatable woman) and there's some fun to be had spotting familiar faces including Michael Elphick, Bill Nighy and - appearing as Turk Thrust II - Roger Moore. But the fact remains that it's a lame film that should never have been made and really should have been the final nail in that particular coffin. Yet amazingly it wasn't! (That's a story for another time)Jon talks about the various stunt coordinators involved with the film including Joe Dunne and Roy Alon and Behind The Stunts can be found here: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/behind-the-stunts/id1547078357

Phil and Emily continue their Beyoncé in the Movies Mini-Series with a dive into 2006's slapstick reboot The Pink Panther! Joining them are returning guests Brooke Solomon and Jordan Gustafson from Queer Quadrant, ready to unpack the chaotic energy of Steve Martin's Inspector Clouseau—and Beyoncé's role as the glamorous pop star turned murder suspect, Xania.They discuss the film's cartoonish tone, Martin's commitment to physical comedy, and how Beyoncé brings surprising poise and presence to a film that's very much doing the most. Is this the moment her movie-star persona fully crystallized? Or just a glittery detour on the way to Dreamgirls?From cringe-y accents to unforgettable pink gowns, this episode is a fun, fast-paced look at a film that's as messy as it is memorable.

On the Road to Aya.Cael becomes the Amazon's Unorthodox Global DiplomatBy FinalStand. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.For me, the diplomacy revolved around Delilah and Virginia, I had already fallen on my knees and begged Odette to let me go see Aya 'alone'. A few sexual-charged hours later, she agreed. That left four choices for the role of my two agents. They wanted to go 'as is'. Rachel informed them they would be murdered in-flight and their bodies tossed out over a convenient body of water.Rachel felt that the only reasonable course of action was for them to not come. That way the two could live a few more weeks. However, she would settle for stripping them down, doing a full body scan and then sealing them naked in airtight coffins (with a suitable amount of oxygen) for the journey. I suspected they might still slip out the baggage compartment somewhere between takeoff and landing.I cut through the clash of egos and made the final decision. Delilah and Virginia would be stripped and thoroughly examined. Initially I had the chore. Rachel was deeply suspicious of my true intentions. Freed of any electronic devices and with their weaponry in my keeping during the trip, they would be blindfolded as we made it to Aya without bloodshed.They applauded my wisdom by roundly refusing my decision. Pamela was of no help. Ten minutes into it, I informed them I was going alone, completely alone. They laughed, snorted and chuckled. Rachel reminded me that I didn't know where to go. I lied and told her that Katrina had given me the coordinates for the super-secret juvenile, all-feline [yes, I meant cats], survival training school.Fine, they would just keep me under constant surveillance. I responded by assuring them that despite my lack of spy-like abilities, I would escape and get to relive my Summer Camp experience with the only woman who respected my Demigod-like combat status. Their laughter hurt my feelings. Pamela stepped up and told the room they could either respect my compromise, or she would help me evade them.It was even more depressing to see the room full of women who had previously been mocking me suddenly 'snap to' and quickly agree to my earlier suggestions."It is okay," Pamela told me softly as the actual mechanics of my vacation were figured out by others. "I didn't want to play Bill Munny to your Ben Logan."Pamela's eyes flared brighter than any phoenix's rebirth. She'd stumped me."The Unforgiven, my Son," she patted my cheek. "It is a western made in 1992 starring Clint Eastwood, recast masterfully by 'Yours Truly' and, we need to work on you making a convincing Morgan Freeman.""Doesn't Freeman end up in a pinewood box in the first third of the movie?" Virginia mused."I didn't want to dishearten him," Pamela grinned. To me. "He ran off alone and got himself killed.""I was what, not even a year old when that movie came out," I responded with indignation."You've never heard of Block Busters, Netflix, Redbox, Dish, Hulu, or late night, Spanish language television?" Pamela snickered."I only watch Univision for their sports coverage," I countered."You mean for those sexy female sports announcers," Delilah chuckled. That earned her a 'well duh' look from all the other women."Before I consent to the strip search and inevitable follow-up anal probe, are we really going to be in a situation that requires us to fight this time?" Virginia asked."We should be perfectly safe," Rachel responded."Check, bring extra ammo," Virginia nodded."Good for you, Ms. Maddox," Pamela winked. "One day there is hope your life will have some meaning to me.""Great," Special Agent Maddox muttered, "now I have to think of what to get her for Christmas." We all laughed. Christmas was such a long way away.We packed up, rode to a private airfield near Doebridge, learned that SD was smarter than the rest of us, boarded our flight, and then finally entered US airspace from there. Around Ohio, a thought occurred to Maddox."If we were somehow forced to land and have the plane searched, how bad would it be?" she requested of Rachel."Bad enough that we have a better chance of fighting our way free than seeing freedom before dying in prison," Rachel answered calmly."Hmm, Rachel, if something like that happened, how many parachutes do we have?" Delilah joined in."Enough. Mona rides down with Cael because he's a virgin," Rachel stated."Oh! Come on Rachel," I fell down on my knees. "Can't I bungee jump it?""Luv," Delilah snorted. "If the drop didn't kill ya, the bounce back would snap you in two.""Cáel, we are at thirty thousand feet," Tiger Lily giggled. "You are more likely to end as a streamer than a pancake." An Amazon giggle, a most joyous noise."Rachel, I have been unkind," Virginia confessed. "Cáel is so personable and so dead set on getting himself killed. I had no idea your assignment was so herculean.""Acknowledged," Rachel said, "and we don't use 'that' word." Hercules was Greek too."We have it worse," Delilah patted Maddox on her shoulder. "We must obey some sort of legal code that doesn't allow us to preemptively save him.""We must too," Rachel gave a depressive sigh. "Her," she pointed at Pamela."Hey," Pamela pouted. "I'm more a force for vigilante justice than a team player. I ride alone.""Alone?" I took a quick headcount and added our Amazon pilot. "I count ten, Lone Phaser.""Am I included in that count?" Miyako yawned from under her blanket. "This jet lag is killing me.""Where did she come from?" Virginia hopped up."She was here when we boarded," I told her. "I searched her, I swear.""Yes he did," Miyako gave a sleepy, Hello Kitty smile. She'd 'searched' me too."I bet you did," Rachel glared at me, then Pamela, then me again since I was the titular boss.Thankfully we all 'bought a vowel', played a card in Clue, and shared an Inspector Clouseau moment. The gang settled down for a nap. Sleeping was not complicated. Rachel, as my bodyguard, slept beside me. The airplane's touchdown was so flawless I had to be shaken to alertness. Did I fall asleep? More on that later.It would have been better if Virginia hadn't figured out our pilot had violated numerous FAA regulations, like dropping below radar at one remote airport then sailing along for an unknown number of kilometers at nape of the Earth until we reached our final destination (This is great in date flicks, btw. It convinces the girl that we should 'live in the moment'/screw as much as possible.)We weren't there yet, of course. That level of un-convoluted thinking would have been an Amazon indicator of senility. Being a male Amazon, I was immune to such considerations, that meant I was always nuts in their regard, but they chose to humor me. Our plane had to park in a camouflaged hangar before we were allowed to disembark.I concluded we must be getting close to our desert gulag/re-education center as the sharp glare of sunlight was accompanied by an equally heartless glare of hostility rolling forth from our waiting all-terrain vehicle caravan. Thank goodness Rachel had the foresight to bring sunscreen for the passel of us. I swallowed the bitter realization I'd lost a $1000 bet concerning our landing zone with Virginia (a Temperate Rainforest) and Delilah (the American Southwest). In retrospect, betting on the site of 'Camp Rock' wasn't my smartest wager.The Brit made off with $2000 of our money and she wanted to be paid in Euros. That's €778 from me, you offspring of those who didn't have the courage to cross the Atlantic 100 years ago. Neither Virginia nor I really cared. With the level of violence about to escalate, it was all looking like 'funny' money to us. I didn't share my misery. Our Welcome Wagon ladies hardly looked sympathetic, or all that opposed to utilizing scalping as a valid debating tool.They didn't view this moment as just a bad thing, me showing up. My arrival was apocalyptic: #1, a man. #2, with a member of another secret society. #3, #2 was a professional assassin. #4 and #5, two more outsider women. #6, an unscheduled visit, as in 'the camp guardians hadn't been given six months to plan out all contingencies'. And you think your daycare takes its security seriously?"Cáel Ishara," the curt, mega-harsh bitch addressed me in English. As the other seven women dismounted from the four Jeep Wranglers (Delilah enlightened us), it was obvious they were well armed and armored, right and ready to provide some extra-curricular para-military fun. "Welcome," and 'oh please tear out one or two of my fingernails you Ginormous Pain in my ass' she greeted the exalted me. We spoke in Hittite;"I am”, then I used a phrase which I hoped meant 'I had shed blood in battle with sister Aya'. "No other name means more to me right now." Ah, the lovely jerk that full-blooded Amazons gave the first time they heard a male speak their tongue. The slot machine of her intellect kicked into high gear. No arm grasp was coming my way. I almost forgot."The outsiders are to remain armed as guests of House Ishara." That command was crucial. When/if I got my way with my first request, I was going to be rendered 'one of the girls'."If that is your wish. (Evil grin) Grab your bags and make it snappy," the woman ordered. "I don't like any extended activity at this airfield.""Ladies, let's hurry up and get our bags," Pamela barked in English. "You too, you hairless ape." That would be me, if there was any question. The Super-friendly camp counselors, with their slung FN P90's, didn't lift a finger to help us. Miyako flounced around without a care in the world. Pamela, eh, there were only eight of them. Three of my SD group were cautious while the pilot was already effecting her refueling and departure.Rachel shot one of the guardians a look I perceived to be friendly. A double-take elucidated things. She was Rachel's younger sister and had already been updated on my bona fides. Then in Hittite;"Male, you are agreeable to the eye," Rachel's sister fired off. Three whole seconds."Why thank you. I run faster than you would think, thankfully heal even faster and have the venerated outdoor skills of Bigfoot," I smiled.The seven other ladies weren't sure what to make of that jocularity."A very, very young Bigfoot," Rachel corrected."There is nothing wrong with the size of his feet," Tiger Lily added to the fun. And then all the homicidal fanatics chuckled.Pamela's whispered translation brought a subdued, yet similar reaction from the non-Amazon contingent. Sure, the new group knew about the New Directive, my fun encounters which I equated to my life and death struggle in those earlier days, my rise to house leadership, Constanza's blinding, the grenade launcher episode and the totality of my last confrontation with Hayden. Amazons are some hard-ass bitches.As we were loading up the jeeps, the leader tapped me on the shoulder with some force, in the same way a teacher catches an unruly student's attention."What was sex with an augur like? My name is Caprica Mielikki.""Out of respect for your authority, I will answer this personal question that is really none of your business," I looked down a good ten centimeters at her. No fear."It was beautiful, like every other woman I have had the treasured pleasure to have sex with," I continued. My reply's undercurrent was simple: I am not a House Head while I'm here. I am an Amazon, not a slave, or outsider male."Did you suffer stigmata?""Yes. To be fair, I was also having intercourse with her personal guardian at the same time. I'm not sure where to lay the blame, or importance," I inhaled her rugged fragrance."Both?" a different camp counselor questioned."As I told you, he has a really big and craftily-wielded foot," Tiger Lily teased, then Pamela said in Hittite;"And he is banned from having sex with any Amazon women for fifty more days," Pamela reminded them. Miyako, Delilah and Maddox weren't involved so were left uninformed of that detail. That bludgeoning innuendo dealt with, off to camp we went. Our journey was a pleasant diversion, punctuated by our trail, or lack thereof.The jeeps split up once we hit the aerial cover of the desert pines. At that point, every rock, shrub, tree and loose bit of debris revealed its God-given mission in life was to kill us. I kept telling myself that surely our Amazon driver abhorred suicide as much as I frowned on vehicular manslaughter as a means of me dying.Failing to believe that left me with tuck, duck and roll and that death-defying move would leave me lost and waterless, somewhere. I would have thought 'somewhere without cell reception', but none of our mobile devices had made the trip, despite a valiant effort at skullduggery by Special Agent Maddox and some highly creative types back at the Hoover Building.See, after we dutifully packed all our gear, the troupe got to watch Rachel's team toss everything into a cargo bin set to be loaded onto a flight to, the ticket said Banjul, Gambia. Woot! My ten ton armored long coat was going to Africa without me. It would have undoubtedly have tried to kill me in this heat. I was lured into acceptance by hoping this was going to be a 'birthday suit' flight.Yay! (Sarcasm) We got all new undies, shirts, shoes, pants, shorts, jackets, ponchos (I was beginning to suspect duplicity on that one), and a variety of other gear, including guns. They were nice enough to replace our weapons with the exact same production models. The sole exceptions were my trusty axes and I trembled at the scrutiny they must have endured.Meanwhile, back to my archaic, misogynistic inspiration that women shouldn't be allowed to drive: after the third skirting of what must have been a ten meter drop, I realized I was looking at this journey in the wrong light. I raised my hands over my head and began screaming like a fool. I was on the best rollercoaster ride ever!!The hobnail boot was on the other foot. My driver really wanted to know what the fuck I was up to, but couldn't take her concentration off the terrain. One massive lurch planted us in an arroyo (that's a dry riverbed for those of us who aren't freaked out every time it rains). Rachel and I were sitting in the back. Turning around in the front seat, Pamela grinned at me."I dare you to surf the hood," she laughed. Sweet Mother Ishara, that was the best mixing of 'you must be a redneck'/'immortal high schooler madness' I'd ever heard. I unbuckled milliseconds before Rachel could stop me. Her look said it all. 'Please, you Moron, don't do this to me. I've been a good little guardian and really don't deserve this, now do I?'I gave her a deep French kiss. She moaned, just not in a sexual manner. One of these days Rachel was going to start running around with a needle and fast acting sedative to keep me safe from myself. Understand, my driver was racing down this dirt, well, "pathway" was being generous. Her first warning that something wasn't right was me hand-standing on the roll bar and flipping onto the dashboard.Considering I was up against a 70 kilometer headwind, I felt I pulled off that maneuver rather well. She grabbed my closest ankle with one hand while keeping the other on the wheel. Our eyes were masked with goggles, but my smile said it all. No, I hadn't been thrown forward, and no, I wasn't running away from something in the back seat.I shook free, stepped over the windshield, braced my right heel against its base and leaned into the torrent of air. I was surfing a jeep. Then I was flying above the jeep, but only for a second. We'd hit a rock the size of an armadillo, or maybe it was an actual armadillo. I wasn't looking back to check. Why was I doing this? It was a tad complex. I gave Psych 101 a shot.My life was not where I had envisioned it would be when I kissed Dr. Kimberly Geisler, and my last two Bolingbrook girlfriends, who had been unaware of each other until that moment, good-bye before leaving college forever. I proudly considered myself amoral. No social contract would keep me from some good cunt, and since I found all cunt to be good if you worked at it, I slept with every girl I could, married, committed, bored, desperate, I didn't care.I held no relationship sacred. I had already proved I could do any girl's mother, daughter, aunt, roommate, childhood friend and total stranger. I hadn't cared. I knew I was going to cause multiple women emotional pain and I did it anyway. Sure, I regretted the agony I left in my wake.I never considered myself a sadist, but I had been a pretty horrible person by ignoring the inevitable consequences of my actions. Then Havenstone. Suddenly people were doing bad stuff to people I didn't know and it mattered to me. I was talking to women without the end goal being a sexual encounter.Hell, I had been honest to women without them using pain, or the threat of pain, on me. I didn't stop being me. I nailed four women at Loraine's, Europa's and Aya's school. I nailed Nicole while waiting for Trent to toss me his social table scraps, Libra. A whole army of women engaged in murder, slavery and infanticide on a regular basis, and I cared for them.I cared for them in a way that confronted damnation, not sexual adventurism. I had graduated from 'Dude, don't do that to the lady' at some bar to 'do this and I'll have you killed' and meaning it, and making it happen. I hadn't learned my lesson. I'd gone on to kill Hayden and Goddess-knows how many other women who Hayden had placed on that list.Yep, dead, dead, dead and it was all on me. Worse, I would do it all over again because deep down, tearing up my insides, was morality. To me that boiled down to caring about someone else without reward. And all that led me to surfing the hood of a jeep on my way to meet my lodestone of this transformation, Aya.My laughter was drowned out by the noises of the engine, tires, rocks, wind and sand. It resonated all the more. The driver didn't slow down. I sincerely doubted she understood my lunacy. That was okay. Pamela did and Aya would. She'd want to go jeep surfing too. Man, for a jackass and dastardly betrayer, I was accumulating a sizable heart-load of people I could honestly say I loved.Kimberly had once told me that the pain of knowledge is never being able to forget it. Good, or bad, it is an affliction for which there is no cure. That was where I was, pained by the creeping advancement of my soul and unable to turn back now that the door to familial affection had been opened.My thoughts of Dad dying and of a thunderstorm burst in my noggin weren't being terribly helpful to my mental state either. The horn blew and I snuck a quick peek back. The driver was making a sharp, forward jabbing motion with her right hand, then thrusting to the left. We were getting ready to exit the arroyo and that probably required some hellish footwork far beyond my ability.I made a hasty, less dignified, yet safer return to my seat. Rachel quickly buckled me in before a rapid turn up and over the bank of the river bed had us heading for another forested area."What was that all about?" Rachel asked once we were back into the tree cover. She'd have asked earlier but she was too busy clenching and unclenching her jaw in frustration.

[SEGMENT 2-1] Most expensive liquid       [SEGMENT 2-2] We want answers 1   [X] SB – Kevin O'Leary on Trump's second term Reciprocal tariff bill   Remember Joe Biden? Believe it or not, he's still president of the United States, though nobody cares. I've never seen a guy held in such high esteem by everybody (who backstabbed him) disappear into the woodwork. Sure, Biden is officially a lame-duck president ousted in an internal coup, but if they used the 25th Amendment to get the old fool to play ball, you can't just bench him. But Democrats didn't just bench Old Joe, they made him the water boy.  Let's not forget Joe Biden's swan song: his passive-aggressive undermining of Kamala Harris. By saddling her with every unsolvable problem—from border crises to economic messaging—Biden has effectively made Harris the scapegoat for his administration's failures. It's political sabotage at its finest, ensuring that even within his own party, Biden gets the last laugh. And yet, through all of this, Biden continues to escalate tensions with Russia using his Ukrainian surrogate, Volodymyr Zelenskyy. It's the kind of geopolitical gambit that makes you wonder: is this Biden securing his legacy or simply creating a distraction large enough to drown out his scandals? Biden scandals are not new Remember when Trump casually dropped the hammer during the 2020 debates, accusing Biden of using his family as an ATM for international bribes? Biden shot back with a laughable claim that Trump was the one pocketing cash from China. The mainstream media, predictably, sprinted to Biden's defense like a linebacker protecting the quarterback. Meanwhile, every conservative blog, podcast, and telegram channel started sounding like a "Godfather" reunion, cataloging the deals Hunter Biden's laptop conveniently left behind. Fast forward, and we now have smoking guns from Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, revelations about Hunter's million-dollar consulting gigs (read: pay-to-play schemes), and allegations that Biden himself—the Big Guy—was getting a cut. But Republicans? They've spent two years stumbling around like Scooby-Doo characters, pointing at ghosts and never unmasking the villain. It's hard to take Republicans seriously anymore. For all the incriminating evidence they've unearthed—Hunter's emails, suspicious bank transactions, testimony from former business partners—it's amounted to nothing more than a fireworks show with no finale. Sure, they've held hearings, leaked documents, and issued stern press releases, but where's the accountability?  [SEGMENT 2-3] We want answers 2   [X] SB – KJP asked about Biden's tough talk on Trump post-election Will of the American people are very clear Peaceful transition of power.   I read recently that the anus of a blue whale can stretch over 3 feet. And while that is extremely impressive, Leftist still hold the record for being the biggest assholes on the planet. And I include Republicans in that group of Leftists. Because Republicans have controlled the House for two years, and we got nothing but tough talk. House Republicans, armed with subpoena power for two years, had a golden opportunity to take the Biden scandals to their logical conclusion. Instead, they've spent that time bloviating like professional wrestlers before a match—big talk, fake action. Here's the kicker: even Democrats are starting to throw Biden under the bus. Progressive media outlets are dropping not-so-subtle hints that maybe it's time for Biden to shuffle off into the sunset. Yet, Republicans, with their majority, still seem incapable of capitalizing on a moment handed to them on a silver platter. Why shouldn't Trump allow his new League of Super Heroes to take the Biden controversy to its inevitable conclusion? It could be argued that Republicans almost have to be intentionally trying not to expose Democrats with all we know on the surface. Imagine what the Biden criminal iceberg looks like under the water? Republicans have more information on the Bidens than 95 percent of criminals in prison, and yet no justice was actually served. When is the last time anybody has even mentioned Hunter Biden in the media? President Trump, meanwhile, could learn a lesson here. When he took office, he famously declined to pursue criminal charges against Hillary Clinton, despite chants of “Lock her up!” at every rally. He thought magnanimity would win him favor. Instead, it handed his enemies a get-out-of-jail-free card. If Trump's reelection doesn't come with a vow to clean house—including reining in the FBI, DOJ, and other alphabet agencies—he risks repeating the same mistake. Democrats rallied behind the Bidens despite mountains of evidence suggesting corruption. Meanwhile, Republicans promised justice but delivered mediocrity. And now, as the Biden saga enters its final act, one can't help but wonder if the GOP's inaction will come back to haunt them. Because nothing says failure (or collusion) like having all the ammunition in the world and refusing to pull the trigger. The list of egregious acts by Democrats is longer than a bull elephant's penis, and yet Republicans confront little.    [SEGMENT 2-4] We want answers 3   How many more things do you need to see to say that you want Leftism stomp into the ground?   The proliferation of the LGBTQ+ agenda astounds me. That a small fraction of a group made up mainly of mentally ill freaks and social deviants caused Americans to allow the mutilation of children. Gender dysphoria is a mental illness, and not a reason to destroy the lives of children. Yet Republicans have done NOTHING. It's taken President-elect Trump to actually address the barbaric butchering our nation's children; children not old enough to make rational life-long choices being told they can alter their body and sex like models change runway outfits. And what about our most vulnerable children? We found out recently that Planned Parenthood is again selling baby parts…no secret, btw. We've known this, and it's a scandal…again. They allowed a border invasion while public opinion was almost 70 percent for stopping the flow of illegals. How many citizens must die before Republicans act on anything. How many more people must be traumatized, robbed, beaten, or sexually assaulted before Republicans stop talking and start acting? How many more proxy wars must we fight, because a Vice President's son got himself embroiled in controversy. How many more elections should Republicans allow Democrats to steal before they act. And how many more citizens should be arrested and have their constitutional rights violated by a Democrat cover-up? How have we not sold our message? I truly don't understand it, and I'm a strategist.   The Biden administration is limping toward the finish line of its tenure, leaving behind a trail of questions that even Inspector Clouseau could solve. Conservatives, Independents, and yes, even disillusioned Democrats, are owed answers. After all, this is the party that claimed to be saving democracy.

Amy Attas shares all the shocking, heartbreaking, and life-affirming experiences she's faced throughout her thirty-year career treating the cats and dogs of New Yorkers from Park Avenue to the projects. An award-winning veterinarian, she started City Pets Vets, an exclusively house-call veterinary practice, over three decades ago. Since then, she's worked with over 7,000 Manhattan families and cared for more than 14,000 of their dogs and cats in the comfort of their own homes. Some of her stories are about A list stars, like the time she saw a famous singer naked (no, her rash was not the same as her puppy's). Others are about remarkable animals, like the skilled service dog who, after his exam was finished, left the room and returned with a checkbook in his mouth. Every tale in this rollicking, informative, and fun memoir affirms a key truth about animal, and human, nature: Our pets love us because their hearts are pure; we love them because they're freaking adorable. On some level, we know that by caring for them, we are the best version of ourselves. In short: Our pets make us better people. When a pet is sick, people-even the rich and famous-are at their most authentic and vulnerable. They could have a Monet on the wall and an Oscar on the shelf, but if their cat gets a cold, all they want to talk about are snotty noses and sneezing fits. For over 30 years Dr. Amy Attas has been a personal vet to the rich and famous, including: . Joan Rivers, who brought her sick dog to Dr. Amy's hospital in full glam and tipped a nurse $50, "It's my insurance policy. This way, I know you won't beat my dog." Rivers went on to tell all her friends about Amy's new house-call practice. . Billy Joel: regular client and friend, sent his pugs to Dr. Amy by limo or helicopter from Long Island. . Paul McCartney, who adopted a rescue dog at Dr. Amy's recommendation. . Steve Martin - Dr. Amy treated his dog Roger, in his trailer on the set of the Pink Panther.

Our first episode returning from paternity leave takes us back to 1983, and one of two sequel bombs Universal made with Jackie Gleason that year, Smokey and the Bandit Part 3. ----more----   TRANSCRIPT   From Los Angeles, California, the Entertainment Capital of the World, it's The 80s Movies Podcast. I am your host, Edward Havens. Thank you for listening today.   On this episode, we'll be covering one of the oddest Part 3 movies to ever be made.   Smokey and the Bandit 3.   But before we do, I owe you, loyal listener an apology and an explanation.   Originally, this episode was supposed to be about the movies of H.B. “Toby” Halicki, who brought car chase films back to life in the mid-70s with his smash hit Gone in 60 Seconds. Part of the reason I wanted to do this episode was to highlight a filmmaker who doesn't get much love from film aficionados anymore, and part because this was the movie that literally made me the person I became. My mom was dating Toby during the making of the movie, a spent a number of days on the set as a five year old, and I even got featured in a scene. And I thought it would be fun to get my mom to open up about a part of her life after my parents' divorce that I don't remember much of.   And it turned into the discussion that made me question everything I became. Much of which I will cover when I find the courage to revisit that topic, hopefully in time for the 50th anniversary this July.   So, for now, and to kind of stick with the car theme this episode was originally going to be about, we're going to do a quick take on one of the most bizarre, and most altered, movies to ever come out of Hollywood.   As you may remember, Smokey and the Bandit was a 1977 hit film from stuntman turned director Hal Needham. Needham and Burt Reynolds has become friends in the early 1960s, and Needham would end up living in Reynolds' pool house for nearly a dozen years in the 60s and 70s. Reynolds would talk director Robert Aldrich into hiring Needham to be the 2nd unit director and stunt coordinator for the car chase scene Aldrich's 1974 classic The Longest Yard, and Reynolds would hire Needham to be his 2nd Unit Director on his own 1976 directorial debut, Gator. While on the set of Gator, the two men would talk about the movie Needham wanted to make his own directorial debut on, a low-budget B movie about a cat and mouse chase between a bootlegger and a sheriff as they tried to outwit each other across several state lines.   As a friend, Reynolds would ask Needham to read the script. The “script” was a series of hand-written notes on a legal pad. He had come up with the idea during the making of Gator, when the Teamster transportation captain brought some Coors beer to the production team. And, believe it or not, in 1975, it was illegal to sell or transport Coors beer out of states West of the Mississippi River, because the beer was not pasteurized and needed constant refrigeration.   Reynolds would read the “script,” which, according to Reynolds' 1994 autobiography My Life, was one of the worst things he had ever read. But Reynolds promised his friend that if he could get a studio involved and get a proper budget and script for the film, he would make it.   Needham would hire a series of writers to try and flesh out the notes from the legal pad into a coherent screenplay, and with a verbal commitment from Reynolds to star in it, he would soon get Universal Studios to to agree to make Smokey and the Bandit, to the tune of $5.3m. After all, Reynolds was still one of the biggest box office stars at the time, and $5.3m was small potatoes at the time, especially when Universal was spending $6.7m on the Super Bowl assassin thriller Two-Minute Warning, $9m on a bio-pic of General Douglas MacArthur, and $22m on William Friedkin's Sorcerer, an English-language version of the 1950 French novel The Wages of Fear.   Reynolds would take the lead as The Bandit, the driver of the chase car meant to distract the authorities from what the truck driver is hauling.    Jerry Reed, a country and western star, would get cast as The Snowman, the truck driver who would be hauling the Coors beer from Texarkana TX to Atlanta. Reed has only co-starred in two movies before, both starring Burt Reynolds, and even if they have almost no scenes together in the final film, their rapport on screen is obvious.   Sally Field, a television star who needed a big movie on her resume, would take the role of Carrie, the runaway bride who joins the Bandit in his chase car. Field had just completed Sybil, the dramatic television movie about a woman with multiple personality disorder, which would break Field out of the sitcom world she had been stuck in for the past decade.   Richard Boone, the star of the long-time television Western Have Gun - Will Travel, would be considered as the sheriff, Buford T. Justice, in pursuit of the Bandit throughout the movie, but Reynolds wanted some who was a bit more crazy, a bit more dangerous, and a heck of a lot funnier. And who wouldn't think of comedy legend Jackie Gleason?   Shooting on the film would begin in Georgia on August 30th, 1976, but not before some pencil pusher from Universal Studios showed up two days before the start of production to inform Needham and Reynolds that they needed to cut $1m from the budget by any means necessary. And the guys did exactly that, reducing the number of shooting locations and speaking roles.   The film would finish shooting eights weeks later, on schedule and on budget… well, on reduced budget, and when it was released in May 1977, just six days before the initial release of Star Wars, it bombed.   For some reason, Universal Studios decided the best way to open a movie about a bunch of good old boys in the South was to give it a big push at the world famous Radio City Music Hall in the heart of Manhattan, along with an hour long Rockets stage spectacular between shows.   The Radio City Music Hall could accommodate 6,000 people per show. Tickets for the whole shebang, movie and stage show, were $5, when the average ticket price in Manhattan at the time was $3.50. And in its first six days, Smokey and the Bandit grossed $125,000, which sounds amazing, until your told the cost of running Radio City Music Hall for a week, stage show and all, was $186,000. And in its second week, the gross would fall to $102,000, and to $90,000 in week three. And Universal would be locked in to Radio City for several more weeks.   But it wouldn't all bad news.   Universal quickly realized its error in opening in New York first, and rushed to book the film into 381 theatres in the South, including 70 in the Charlotte region, 78 in and around Jacksonville, 97 theatres between Oklahoma City and Dallas, another 57 between Memphis and New Orleans, and 79 in Atlanta, near many of the locations the film was shot. And in its first seven days in just those five regions, the film would gross a cool $3.8m. Along with the $102k from Radio City, the film's $3.9m gross would be the second highest in the nation, behind Star Wars. And despite bigger weekends from new openers like The Deep, The Exorcist II and A Bridge Too Far, Smokey and the Bandit would keep going and going and going, sticking around in theatres for more than two years in some areas, grossing more than $126m.   Naturally, there would be a sequel. But here's the funny part. Smokey and the Bandit II, a Universal movie, would be shot back to back with Cannonball Run, produced by the Hong Kong film company Golden Harvest as a vehicle to break their star Jackie Chan into the American market, which would also star Burt Reynolds and be directed by Hal Needham.    Filming on Smokey and the Bandit II was supposed to start in August 1979, but would be delayed until January 1980, because the film Reynolds was working on in the late summer of 1979, Rough Cut, went way over schedule.   While the budget for the sequel would be $10m, more than double the cost of the original film, the overall production was not a very pleasant experience for most involved. Needham was feeling the pressure of trying to finish the film ahead of schedule so he'd have some kind of break before starting on Cannonball Run in May 1980, because several of the other actors, including Roger Moore, were already locked into other movies after shooting completed on that film.   Burt Reynolds and Sally Field had started dating during the making of Smokey and the Bandit in 1976, and both of them signed their contracts to appear in the sequel in 1979, but by the time shooting started in 1980, the pair had broken up, and they were forced to pretend to be in love and be side by side in the Bandit's Trans Am for a couple months.   One of the few things that would go right on the film was a complex chase scene that could only be shot one time, for the end of the sequence would be the destruction of a 64 year old rollercoaster in suburban Atlanta.   They got the shot.   Needham would get a few weeks between the end of shooting Smokey and the Bandit II and the start of Cannonball Run, but the production on the latter film would be put on hold a couple times for a few days each, as Needham would have to go back to Los Angeles to supervise the editing of the former film.   Smokey and the Bandit II would make its planned August 15th, 1980 release, and would have a spectacular opening weekend, $10.8m from 1196 theatres, but would soon drop off, barely grossing half of the first film's box office take. That would still be profitable, but Needham, Reynolds and Field all nixed the idea of teaming up for a third film. Reynolds had been wanting to distance himself from his good old boy 1970s persona, Field was now an Oscar winning dramatic actress, and Needham wanted to try something different. We'll talk about that movie, Megaforce, another time.   But despite losing the interest of the main principles of the first two movies, Universal was still keen on making a third film. The first mention would be a line item in the Los Angeles Times' Calendar section on August 28th, 1981, when, within an article about the number of sequels that were about to gear up, including Grease 2 and Star Wars 3, aka Return of the Jedi, that Universal was considering a third Smokey movie as a cable television movie. In May 1982, Variety noted that the reduced budget of the film, estimated at under $5m, would not accommodate Reynolds' asking price at that time, let alone the cost of the entire production, and that the studio was looking at Dukes of Hazzard star John Schneider as a possible replacement as The Bandit. In the end, it was decided that Jackie Gleason would return not only as Sheriff Buford T. Justice, but that he would also be, in several scenes, playing The Bandit as well.   Thus would begin the wild ride of the third film in the Smokey and the Bandit Cinematic Universe, Smokey IS the Bandit: Part 3.   It would take 11 different versions of the script written over the course of six months to get Gleason to sign off, because, somehow, he was given script approval before filming would begin.   Paul Williams and Pat McCormick would return for a third time as Little Enos and Big Enos, and the storyline would find the Burdette father and son making a bet with Sheriff Justice. Justice and his son Junior must deliver a big stuffed swordfish from Florida to a new seafood restaurant they are opening in Texas. If Justice can get the big stuffed swordfish from Point A to Point B in the time allotted, the Burdettes will give him $250,000, which Justice could use towards his impending retirement. If he doesn't, however, Justice will have to surrender his badge to the Burdettes, and he'd retire in disgrace.   Dick Lowry, who had been directed episodic television and TV movies for several years, including three episodes of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century and the TV movie adaptation of Kenny Rogers' hit song The Gambler, would make his feature directing debut on Smokey Is the Bandit Part 3.   Production on the film would begin in Florida on October 25, 1982, and lasted two months, ending two days after Christmas, mostly in Florida.   Lowry and his team would assemble the film over the course of the next three months, before Universal held its first test screening on the studio lot in March 1983.   To say the screening was a disaster would be an understatement.   The audience didn't understand what the hell was going on here. They wondered how Justice, as The Bandit, could bed a character credited only as Blonde Bombshell, who looks at him the way women in 1982 would have looked at Burt Reynolds. They wondered why a plot twist in the very last scene was presented, that Dusty was really Big Enos's daughter, when it affected nothing in the story before or after its reveal. But, mostly, they were confused as to how one actor could play both title characters at the same time. Like, is Justice seeing himself as The Bandit, seeing himself behind the wheel of the Bandit's signature black and gold Pontiac Trans Am, and a beautiful country music DJ played by Colleen Camp as his companion, all while actually driving his signature sheriff's car with his son Junior as his constant companion?   The studio had two choices…   One, pony up a few extra million dollars to rewrite the script, and try to lure Reynolds back to play The Bandit…   Or, two, bury the movie and take the tax write off.   The second choice was quickly ruled out, as a teaser trailer for the film had already been released to theatres several weeks earlier, and there seemed to be some interest in another Smokey and the Bandit movie, even though the trailer was just Gleason, as Justice, standing in a military-style uniform, standing in front of a large America flag, and giving a speech to the camera not unlike the one George C. Scott gave at the start of the 1970 Best Picture winner, Patton. You can find a link to the teaser trailer for Smokey is the Bandit Part 3 on our website, at The80sMoviePodcast.com.   So the studio goes down to Jupiter, FL, where Reynolds had been living for years, and made him a sizable offer to play The Bandit for literally a couple of scenes. Since Gleason as Bandit only had one line in the film, and since most of the shots of Gleason as Bandit were done with wide lenses to hide that it wasn't Gleason doing any of the driving during the number of scenes involving the Trans Am and stunts, they could probably get everything they needed with Reynolds in just a day or two.   Reynolds would say “no” to that offer, but, strangely, he would agree to come back to the film, as The Bandit, for an extended sequence towards the end of the film. We'll get to that in a moment.   So with Reynolds coming back, but not in the capacity they wanted him in, the next thought was to go to Jerry Reed, the country singer and actor who had played Bandit's partner, The Snowman, in the first two films. Reed was amiable to coming aboard, but he wanted to play The Bandit. Or, more specifically, Cledus pretending to be The Bandit.   The film's screenwriters, Stuart Birnbaum and David Dashev, were called back in to do yet another rewrite. They would have only three weeks, as there was only a short window in April for the production team to get back together to do the new scenes with Reed and Colleen Camp. Dusty would go from being a country radio station DJ to a car dealership employee who literally walks off the job and into Cledus as Bandit's Trans Am. Reed's role as Cledus as Bandit was greatly expanded, and Dusty's dialogue would be altered to reflect both her new career and her time in the car with Cledus.   The reshoots would only last a few weeks, and Lowry would have a final cut ready for the film's planned August 12th theatrical release.   It is often stated, on this podcast and other sources, that in the 1980s, August was mostly the dumping ground of the studio's dogs, hoping to get a little bit of ticket sales before Labor Day, when families look at going on a vacation before the kids go back to school.   And the weekend of August 12th through 14th in 1983 was certainly one way to prove this argument.   Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 would be the second highest grossing new release that weekend, which is surprising in part because it would have a smaller percentage of prints out in the market compared to its competition, 498 prints, almost exclusively in the southern US. The bad news is that the film would barely make it into the Top Ten that weekend. Cujo, the adaptation of the 1981 Stephen King novel, would be the highest grossing new opener that weekend, grossing $6.11m, barely missing the top spot, which was held for a third week by the Chevy Chase film Vacation, which had earned $6.16m. Risky Business, which was making its young lead actor Tom Cruise a movie star, would take third place, with $4.58m. Then there was Return of the Jedi, which had been out three months by this point, the Sylvester Stallone-directed Saturday Night Fever sequel Staying Alive, the Eddie Murphy/Dan Aykroyd comedy Trading Places, the god-awful Jaws 3-D, WarGames and Krull, which all had been out for three to eleven weeks by now, all grossing more than Smokey and the Bandit 3, with $1.73m in ticket sales.   Having it much worse was The Curse of the Pink Panther, Blake Edwards' attempt to reboot the Inspector Clouseau series with a new American character who may or may not have been the illegitimate son of Clouseau, which grossed an anemic $1.64m from 812 theatres. And then there was The Man Who Wasn't There, the 3-D comedy featuring Steve Guttenberg that was little more than a jumbled copy of Foul Play and North by Northwest that arrived too late in theatres to ride the now-dead stereoptic movie craze, which took in $1.38m from 980 theatres.   In its second week, Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 would only lose five screens, but lose 52% of its opening weekend audience, bringing in just $830k that weekend.   Week three would see the film lose nearly 300 screens, bringing in just $218k.   Week four was Labor Day weekend itself, with its extra day of ticket sales, and you'd think Universal would just cut and run since the film was not doing great with audiences or critics. Yet, they would expand the film back to 460 theatres, including 47 theatres in the greater Los Angeles metro area. The gambit worked a little bit, with the film bringing in $1.3m during the extended holiday weekend, bringing the film's four week total gross to $5.02m.   And it would slowly limp along for a few more weeks, mostly in dollar houses, but Universal would stop tracking it after its fifth weekend in theatres, giving the film a final box office total of $5,678,950.   Oh, I almost forgot about Burt Reynolds. Burt did film his scene, a four minute or so cameo towards the end of the film, where Justice finally catches up to Cledus as The Bandit, but in Justice's mind's eye, he sees Cledus as Burt as The Bandit, where Burt as The Bandit does nothing more than half-ass read off his lines while sitting behind the wheel of the Trans Am.   I watched the movie on Paramount Plus back in January, when I originally planned on recording this episode. But it's no longer available on Paramount Plus. Nor is it available on Peacock, which is owned and operated by Universal, and where the film was once available. In May 2024, the only way to see Smokey and the Bandit is on long out-of-print low quality DVDs and Blu-Rays. JustWatch.com says the film is available on Apple TVs Showtime channel, but I can't find any Showtime channel on Apple TV, nor can I find the movie doing a simple search on Apple TV. The first two are on Apple TV, as part of the AMC+ channel. It's all so darn complicated.   But like I said, I watched it for the first and probably last time earlier this year. And, truth be told, it's not a totally painful film. It's not a good film in any way, shape or form, but what little good there is in it, it's thanks to Colleen Camp, who was not only gorgeous but had an amazing sense of comic timing. Anyway who saw her as Yvette the Maid in the 1985 comedy Clue already knows that.    Like a handful of film buffs and historians, I am still wildly interested in seeing the original cut of the film after more than forty years. If Universal can put out three different versions of Orson Welles' Touch of Evil, including a preview cut that was taken away from Welles and re-edited without his consent, in the same set, certainly they can release both versions of Smokey and the Bandit Part 3. But let's face facts. Dick Lowry is no Orson Welles, and there is practically zero calls for this kind of special treatment for the film.   I just find it odd that in this day and age, the only thing that's escaped from the original version of the film after all this time is a single image of Gleason as The Bandit, which you can find on this episode's page at our website.   Thank you for joining us.

Hoy voy a ser egoísta… ¡ya está bien de pensar en los demás! Así que no voy a hacer, como suele ser mi costumbre, un vídeo pensando en que os guste a vosotros. No. He hecho este video… ¡porque me gusta a mí! Me gustan los coches originales e imaginativos… hicimos un vídeo de Concept Cars. Pero esTos coches de película van mucho más allá… y además hay un “Bonus track”: No me olvido de los dibujos animados o “cartoons”. Me refiero a coches de película que son pura ficción, que ni existieron en la vida real ni era derivaciones de coches reales, lo cual deja fuera a muchos coches más o menos de serie. Por ejemplo, el caso del Stratos Zero aparecido en “Moonwalker”, que era un prototipo ya existente, mismo caso del Adams Probe 16 de “La Naranja mecánica”. También he excluido a coches como el Lotus Esprit anfibio de James Bond en “La espía que me amo”, al DeLorean de “Regreso al futuro” o al Ectomobile de “Cazafantasmas” que es Cadillac Miller-Meteor del 59. No, solo coches de ficción imaginados e imaginativos 1. Batmobile (1966). Aparecido en la serie de TV “Batman”. Comenzamos fuerte porque este es uno de mis favoritos, el Batmobile de la primera serie televisiva de Batman emitida entre 1966-1968 de la cadena ABC-TV. 2. Landspeeder X-34 (1977). Aparecido en una de mis películas favoritas, “La Guerra de las Galaxias”. No tiene ruedas, pero para mí, es un coche con toda las de la ley, un coche digno de un Jedi. 3. Deckard (1982). Aparecido en “Blade Runner”, una de mis películas favoritas… la primera, la secuela llamada “Blade Runner 2049” no me gustó nada. Este sedán propiedad de Deckard lo conduce el mismísimo Harrison Ford. 4. Luna negra (1986). Aparecido en la película con el mismo nombre, “Luna Negra” este coche se adelantó a su tiempo no solo en estética, pues era muy ecológico: Utilizaba un motor de hidrógeno. 5. Batmobile (1989). Aparecido en dos películas de la franquicia, “Batman” de 1989 y “Batman Returns” de 1992. Diseñado por Fireball Tim Lawrence y Julian Caldow es uno de mis Batmobiles favoritos… y lo tengo de slot. 6. Land Rover 101 Forward Control (1995). Aparecido en “El Juez Dredd” confieso que he dudado en ponerlo porque la base es en realidad un camión “101 LHD”. Pero luego he pensado que sí, porque el resultado no se parece en nada al original y es un coche que, realmente, mete miedo. 7. Lexus 2054 (2002). Aparecido en “Minority Report” supuestamente el Lexus 2054 un concept car diseñado por el mismísimo Steven Spielberg. Spielberg, muy detallista pidió a la propia Lexus información e ideas de cómo sería un vehículo que se ajustase a los avances del año 2054. 8. Nautilus (2003). Aparecido en la película “La liga de los hombres extraordinarios” este es uno de esos coches “retrofuturistas” que me encantan. Con este nombre está claro que era el coche personal de propio del Capitán Nemo. 9. Audi RSQ (2004). Aparecido en “Yo Robot” este coche no tiene ruedas, sino esferas, de modo que puede andar de frente, de lado, en diagonal… es un coche que se mueve en el Chicago de 2035. Es interesante que el RSQ desarrollado específicamente para una película, algo inédito con Audi. 10. Mach 6 Prototype (2008). Coche usado en “Speed Racer” una película basada en la serie del mismo nombre, en España se llamó “Meteoro” y que fue un auténtico fracaso. Hoy no voy a hablar de la película, flojilla por ser educado, pero sí del coche que era una réplica del usado en la serie de dibujos animados… Bonus track: Cartoon. Hay muchos, pero muchos, muuuuuchos, pero os traigo una muestra de algunos de mis favoritos, como puedan ser cualquiera de los “Autos locos”, aunque mi predilecto era el “Superchatarraspecial”, no me olvido de los coches de los Picapiedra, muy ecológicos y me dejo para el final, mi favorito de todos, el coche de Gö Tifune en la serie “Meteoro” o “Speed Racer” el Mach 5… Coche del día. ¡Me he dejado un as en la manga! Y ese as se llama Panthermobile, un coche basado en un Oldsmobile Toronado de 1969 y creado por el especialista Jay Ohrberg, un mago. En este coche llegaban la Pantera Rosa y el Inspector Clouseau al principio de cada capítulo del Show de la Pantera Rosa. El coche paraba frente al Hollywood Chinese Theatre y de él descendían la Pantera Rosa y el Inspector. Los personajes son de ficción pero el coche existe. El Panthermobile cuenta de un motor de 7 litros, mide 7 metros de largo, tiene una cabina muy adelantada puertas tipo “alas de gaviota”.

No cabe duda que La Pantera Rosa es una serie de dibujos animados clásica que nunca muere. Sus episodios pueden verse hoy día en Youtube y algunos de los que me oyen puede que los disfrutaran en su día en televisión. Sin duda rememorar sus episodios puede proporcionarnos unas risas. La Pantera Rosa es una serie de dibujos animados creada por el director estadounidense Friz Freleng en 1963. El personaje principal es una pantera de color rosa que vive aventuras cómicas y surrealistas, a menudo acompañada por otros personajes como el Inspector Clouseau, el Hombre Blanco o la Hormiga y el Oso Hormiguero. La serie se caracteriza por su humor absurdo, su música de jazz y su ausencia de diálogos. En este podcast, voy a compartir con vosotros algunas curiosidades sobre La Pantera Rosa que quizás no conocías. ¿Sabías que la pantera no tenía nombre hasta 1969? ¿O que el primer episodio fue un corto animado que acompañaba a la película del mismo nombre? ¿O que la pantera ha sido interpretada por varios actores de voz, entre ellos Mel Blanc, Rich Little y Matt Frewer? Si quieres saber más sobre estos y otros datos interesantes, escucha el podcast.

Men's Month hits national treasure status this week, as the team were thrilled when actor, comedian, presenter and expert in accents, Les Dennis agreed to come round to Hannah's flat to drink some Malbec and solve a crime, and it turns out, he's a natural! Les sifted through his top ten of criminal experiences to share with us the time his skills as a performer saved him from a violent encounter, and even managed to ultimately enlist the help of his would-be attackers in finding some lost property. We then hear about a crime, which if it hadn't happened, would make the perfect case for Inspector Clouseau, and a natural accompaniment for Les' Malbec … although we definitely recommend giving the holy grail a rinse out before you pour any wine in. Finally, the team solves a listener crime in which we discover that most cats are either psychic, have IBS, or both! The Drunk Women are returning to their London residency at 21Soho in 2024!

Check out all of our fine Stranded Panda Podcasts www.strandedpanda.com Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universes According to a now deleted Disney Movie Insiders post, the release date for the Star Wars: Ahsoka Disney Plus series has been revealed to be August 31! This is in line with reports coming out of last month's Star Wars Celebration that the 8-episode limited series would be premiering sometime in late summer. It's not all happy news for the series, unfortunately, as veteran sci-fi actor, Ray Stevenson, who portrays turncoat Jedi Baylon Skoll, passed away this weekend at the age of 58, while shooting a film in Italy. Disney has started removing dozens of series, specials and direct-to-streaming movies from both Disney Plus and Hulu. The move, which was announced during the May 10 Disney earnings call, is part of an effort to cut costs and refocus content curation to maximize profitability. The list is extensive, but a notable standouts is Willow, which finished its season in January, and has not been available for a full 6 months.The Willow series, along with many others on the list, were never released to physical media and are essentially lost to the void. Early backlash from the announced purge has already saved a few titles including the documentary Howard and Marvel series MPower and Marvel's Voices Rising: The Music of Wakanda Forever. Fast X crossed the finish line in first place at the box office this weekend with a reported haul of $67 million, domestically. This was enough to overtake reigning champ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 in its third weekend. Vin Diesel also confirmed that a spin-off film is currently in development with an all female lead cast. A teaser trailer for the upcoming sci-fi film The Creator had dropped. Coming to us from Rogue One and the 2014 Godzilla director, Gareth Edwards, the film stars John David Washington and tells the story of a future humanity at war with artificial intelligence that is bent on destroying human life. The film will debut on September 29th. After releasing a teaser that debuted a full year ago with Top Gun: Maverick, Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1 has dropped its official first trailer. The first part of the two part film series will hit theaters on July 12th. Paramount Films and AppleTV+ have debuted the first trailer for Martin Scosese's Killers of the Flower Moon. The film, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Di Niro, Jesse Plemons, Lilly Gladstone, and Brenden Fraser will premiere in theaters on October 6th and will be distributed during an unspecified streaming release on AppleTV+ as well. Chiwtel Ejiofor who played Baron Mordo in Doctor Strange has closed a deal to star opposite Tom Hardy in Venom 3. Eddie Murphy is in final talks to play Inspector Clouseau in an upcoming reboot of Pink Panther, described as a live action/CGI hybrid buddy cop film. A new teaser officially announced the revival of beloved sci fi animated series Futurama is set to debut on Hulu on July 24th. MCU Rumors: Industry insiders are reporting that Jeff Loveness, who wrote Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and was in line to write Avengers: Kang Dynasty is no longer writing the film. Insiders are also reporting that Emma Stone was originally offered the role of Sue Storm in the MCU, but turned it down due to salary disputes. Neither of these reports have been confirmed by anyone attached to Marvel Studios. Ridley Scott's upcoming Gladiator sequel continues to round out it's cast. Barry Keoghan, who was attached to the film in the early phases has exited. May Calamawy who starred as Layla in Moon Knight among others has joined the cast. Tati Gabrielle, best known for her work in The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and You has joined the cast of the upcoming sequel to the 2021 film Mortal Kombat and will play the character of Jade.

Maria Canals-Barrera is an American actress. She is known for starring as Theresa Russo in the Disney Channel series Wizards of Waverly Place (2007–2012), Connie Torres in Camp Rock (2008) and Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam (2010), and Daniela in the ABC comedy series Cristela (2014–2015). Canals-Barrera has voiced Shayera Hol/Hawkgirl in a lead role in Justice League (2001–2004) and Justice League Unlimited (2004–2006) and in a guest appearance in Static Shock as part of the DC Animated Universe, Sunset Boulevardez in The Proud Family (2001–2005) and Paulina in Danny Phantom (2004–2007).On the Show:Disney Fans Overrunning Austrian Village That Inspired "Frozen": The NY Post says the Austrian village that inspired the movie ''Frozen'' has shut down it's lakefront viewing area because it is being overrun by tourists. The town of Hallstatt has 750 residents. Over 7,000 people a day are now visiting the city because of the Disney film. Mayor Alexander Scheutz was left with no choice, but to shut down the viewing area due to heavy traffic and privacy concerns. Gizmodo says Disney is opening a theme park based on the movie ''Frozen''.The park is part of Hong Kong Disneyland's expansion. It will open later this year.The Liverpool Echo newspaper says a bar, inspired by the Top Gun movies, is going to open in Merryside, England. The bar is called Maverick's. It will feature a jukebox, vintage neon signs, an American flag and a Statue of Liberty. Owner Andrew Mikhail says, "Top Gun is my favorite film of all time and so the bar just had to have a nod to the iconic Tom Cruise film. There's one thing that holds true for all American dive bars: If you visit one, you're always going to have a story to tell later, and that is what we want to achieve with Maverick's". Uproxx says Eddie Murphy is in talks to star in the next Pink Panther movie as Inspector Clouseau. Amazon owns the rights to the Pink Panther franchise FanFest says Bradley Cooper has allegedly turned down the role of Lex Luthor in the upcoming ''Superman: Legacy'' movie. The film is going to be released on July 11th, 2025. Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to play Conan the Barbarian again. Ace Showbiz quotes him as saying; "It's been pending for the last ten years. [Fredrik] Malmberg owns the rights. He comes to me and says, 'Oh, I have a deal with Netflix' and when we ask Netflix, they don't know anything about it. It's one of those crazy things. I hope he figures it out. I think you do it like 'Unforgiven', where you play the age. There's a great script out there that John Milius wrote, and others have written one. The story is there. There are directors who want to do it. But he has the rights, and until he sells the rights for one or two movies, or for the franchise, there's nothing you can do about it."Arnold Schwarzenegger tellsThe Hollywood Reporter that he is done playing the Terminator. “The franchise is not done. I'm done. I got the message loud and clear that the world wants to move on with a different theme when it comes to The Terminator. Someone has to come up with a great idea. The Terminator was largely responsible for my success, so I always would look at it very fondly. The first three movies were great. Number four [Salvation] I was not in because I was governor. Then five [Genisys] and six [Dark Fate] didn't close the deal as far as I'm concerned. We knew that ahead of time because they were just not well written.”Michael J Fox tells Variety magazine that he doesn't care if ''Back to the Future'' gets rebooted. “I'm not fanatical. Do what you want. It's your movie. I got paid already. I don't think it needs rebooting because are you going to clarify something? You're going to find a better way to tell the story? I doubt it.”Christopher Lloyd, aka Doc Brown, says, “I would love to do a sequel, but I think Bob Zemeckis and [producer Steven] Spielberg felt that they told the story in the three episodes. But if somebody has a brilliant idea that would justify a fourth film it might happen.”

SUNNY SIDE OF MY STREET EPISODE 2: THE PINK PANTHER THEME by Henry Mancini (RCA, 1963)There is something irresistible about the creeping sax signature (swung by Plas Johnson), that gets me every time. Maybe it's the accompanying cute image of that hapless, animated feline (so reminiscent of Wiley Coyote) curtesy of David DePatie and Fritz Freleng, that seals the delicious deal, but whatever the synaptic connection, this tune sparks pure musical happiness in my cerebral cortex. And, I'm not alone - Henry Mancini's frothy concoction was a smash single that sold half a million copies, went to the top ten, and won 3 grammiesAnd, of course, don't forget that this was the ditty that kicked off the series of films that introduced Peter Seller's bumbling Inspector Clouseau, an eternal avatar of funny, to the world. If you're feeling blue, take Norman Cousin's prescription, and screen those classic comedy films to make yourself feel better. I also learned that this pepto bismol colored cat is associated with Cancer awareness - a very appropriate shade for the elixir of healing. So, go ahead and take a swig!

What do you get when you mix millions of dollars in gems, stolen cars, wigs, international crime families, a French detective, and 800 Serbians? You get a heist gang Inspector Clouseau couldn't imagine in his wildest dreams.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's spring break, so Christy's off skiing with her family, but that doesn't mean we're taking a vacation from offering you goodies here at Breakfast All Day. She and Alonso review the action comedy "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves," which is surprisingly fun (and you don't need to play D&D to enjoy it). Also: heavy spoilers for "John Wick: Chapter 4." You've been warned! And for our latest round of Was It Great or Were You 8, Alonso has chosen the 1975 Inspector Clouseau comedy "The Return of the Pink Panther" to determine whether it truly was great, or he just loves it nostalgically. We'll return Tuesday to catch up on news and review "Air." Hope to see you then!
