This week the hosts discuss one of Josh's favorite movies, 1978's The Eyes of Laura Mars. From wiki: “Eyes of Laura Mars is a 1978 American neo-noir supernatural horror[3] thriller film directed by Irvin Kershner and starring Faye Dunaway, Tommy Lee Jones, Brad Dourif, René Auberjonois, and Raul Julia. It follows a New York City fashion photographer (Dunaway) who suddenly develops the clairvoyant ability to witness disturbing serial murders from the point of view of the killer. The screenplay was adapted (in collaboration with David Zelag Goodman) from a spec script titled Eyes, written by John Carpenter; it was Carpenter's first major studio film. H. B. Gilmour later wrote a novelization.”Also discussed: Hawaii, Sasquatch Sunset, Luca Guadagnino's Queer, My Own Private Idaho and the career of Gus Van Sant, American giallo, Jon Peters, Faye Dunaway, Shampoo, Personal Shopper, Blood and Black Lace, The September Issue, capelets and ponchos, Barfly, The Towering Inferno, Puzzle of a Downfall Child, Brian De Palma, NEXT WEEK: Morgiana (1972) Follow them across the internet: Bloodhaus:https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/ Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/https://www.instagram.com/sister__hyde/ Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/https://bsky.app/profile/joshuaconkel.bsky.social

Our chronological journey through the STAR WARS franchise rolls on with a classic bummer of a story. THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK from 1980 is widely regarded as one of the best films of the franchise and it's pretty hard to argue with the consensus if you ignore the existence of the holiday special. It's time to re-examine this sci-fi classic for the final time. Yeah, it's a good movie, but we've seen it A LOT. We're saying sayonara to the STAR WARS universe when this is all said and done. It's given us thrills and chills, laughter and confusion but you can keep the emotional investment from here forth. We're just gonna be the 3,000th person to tell you if they're good or not. I would strongly recommend NOT going chronologically if you're going to want to watch them all. There's a point to going chronologically but the release order seems to be more enjoyable if you think about it. So much memorable and awesome stuff in the Irvin Kershner directed “Episode V” and the prequels really do demystify a lot of the initial feeling of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. This might also be peak worst C3PO so there are some shortcomings. That Luke reaction is quite funny, though. What is cool does stay cool. The Hoth battle and Darth Vader meeting Luke is still pretty wonderful to watch. Our expectations are lower following this one but we will try to keep an open mind and focus on what makes each trilogy what they are on their own merits. Also, you can call me “Daddy”.

"Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back," directed by Irvin Kershner and released in 1980, stands not only as one of the most iconic sequels in cinema history but also as a pivotal turning point in the expansive Star Wars saga. As we gear up for Star Wars Day 2024, a retrospective glance at this masterpiece reveals its undiminished power to captivate and provoke thought, making it an enduring treasure in the sci-fi genre.Cinematography and Visual InnovationFrom Hoth's chilling winds to Dagobah's lush swamps, each frame of "The Empire Strikes Back" is a visual feast. The opening battle on the icy planet of Hoth remains one of the most visually spectacular sequences in the Star Wars series. Cinematographer Peter Suschitzky's expertise brought a deeper, grittier tone to the film, setting it apart from its predecessor. The use of shadows and lighting intensifies the emotional gravity of each scene, making the visuals not just beautiful but narratively compelling.Storytelling and StructureIf "A New Hope" laid the foundation of this galactic adventure, "The Empire Strikes Back" expanded its scope and plunged deeper into its characters' emotional landscapes. The screenplay, refined by Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan, introduces a complex narrative with richer character development and a more layered plot. The film daringly deviates from the traditional victory arc, opting instead for a more sombre, introspective tone that reflects the characters' turmoil and growth. This bold narrative choice elevates the sequel to new heights, endowing it with a maturity and sophistication that many sequels fail to achieve.Character Development and PerformancesThe heart of "The Empire Strikes Back" lies in its profound character development, particularly that of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Han Solo (Harrison Ford), and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher). Hamill delivers a nuanced performance as Luke grapples with his identity and destiny; Ford encapsulates Solo's roguish charm and depth, while Fisher's Leia is both a determined leader and a vulnerable human. The introduction of Yoda, masterfully voiced and puppeteered by Frank Oz, adds a philosophical layer to the story, challenging Luke and the audience with deep existential questions.The chemistry among the lead characters, especially the budding romance between Han and Leia, provides both warmth and tension, enriching the narrative and giving audiences moments of relief amidst the darker undertones of the saga.Villainous Presence: Darth VaderDarth Vader, portrayed by David Prowse with the unforgettable voice of James Earl Jones, cements his status as one of cinema's most formidable villains. "The Empire Strikes Back" gives Vader more screen time and context, delving into his complexities and setting up the familial reveal that would shock cinema audiences: "No, I am your father." This line, delivered during the climactic lightsaber duel with Luke, remains one of the most iconic moments in film history, reshaping the Star Wars narrative arc and deepening the conflict at its core.Cultural and Historical Significance=Upon its release, "The Empire Strikes Back" was met with mixed reviews; however, its reputation has only grown over time, and it is now widely regarded as the best film in the Star Wars series. It challenged the expectations of what a sequel could be and expanded the scope of George Lucas's storytelling canvas. Its influence is evident in the numerous sequels and franchises that have since sought to emulate its success in deepening character arcs and complex storytelling.Relevance to Pop CultureThe film's impact on pop culture is immeasurable, from spawning memorable lines to influencing countless works in film, television, and other media. It's a testament to the enduring appeal of the Star Wars universe, continually attracting new fans while keeping long-time enthusiasts hooked."The Empire Strikes Back" is not just a film; it's a profound cinematic experience that resonates through its pioneering special effects, compelling narrative, and deep philosophical underpinnings. As we celebrate Star Wars Day 2024, we acknowledge the timeless allure of this masterpiece. It teaches us about heroism, resilience, and the complexity of human (and non-human) emotions. This sequel not only stands the test of time but also remains a benchmark for evaluating cinematic excellence in science fiction.For any fan of cinema, Star Wars, or storytelling in general, "The Empire Strikes Back" is a seminal viewing experience, its legacy as vibrant today as it was over four decades ago. As Yoda might say, "Pass on what you have learned." Indeed, the lessons of "The Empire Strikes Back" continue to enlighten and inspire, making this celebration a tribute to the enduring power of great storytelling.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcast If you are looking to start a podcast and want a host or get guests to pipe in remotely, look no further than Riverside.fmClick the link below https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=matthew

We return to the well of two films whose only commonality is their title. In this episode we look at Loving, from 1970 and 2016. The first half of our episode stars George Segal and Eva Marie Saint, and was directed by Irvin Kershner. Segal stars as a freelance artist who's attempting to revitalize his career just as his marriage to Eva Marie Saint begins to fall apart. It's a serious story with a comic overlay and you'll wonder why it doesn't get more attention these days. In Part 2 we'll look at a different film with a very different theme. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wordsandmovies/support

So where do you go after making the most successful movie of all time? Why make another of course. After Star Wars proved all naysayers wrong and was a massive success, George Lucas knew he had free reign to continue the story he had written a few years before. But if you thought the first movie had problems, wait until you hear what happened on the second. But with a highly competent director -and Lucas's former USC professor- at the helm in Irvin Kershner, The Empire Strikes Back, once again defied odds and in many ways, proved to be an even bigger success than its predecessor. So much so that it is called by many The Godfather II of science fiction movies. But do the Three Men And A Retrospective Podcast agree? Matt gave a little bit of a preview of his thoughts on this blockbuster at the end of last week's show, and there are debates to be had in this two hour plus review of one of the most successful sequels of all time.

The Video Archives Podcast with Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary
Quentin, Roger and guest customer Eli Roth (director of Hostel and Cabin Fever) kick off our first themed series: American Giallo! After outlining their thoughts on the genre, they start with Brian De Palma's Dressed To Kill. A mysterious tall blonde woman wearing sunglasses murders a psychiatrist's patient, and now she's after the prostitute who witnessed it. Quentin, Roger and Eli talk about how the villainous Bobbi affected them, discuss the controversy surrounding the film, and reveal how the story changed from script to screen. Next, we'll look through Irvin Kershner's Eyes Of Laura Mars. A famous fashion photographer develops a disturbing ability to see through the eyes of a killer. The hosts discuss strange plot devices, read excerpts from interviews that shed light on the true history of the film, and hear how Eli would have rewritten the ending.

CANNON. COULD'VE BEEN A CANNON! That's right, it's time for another "COULD'VE BEEN A CANNON"! And today's movie was chosen by our debonair Patreon member of danger and romance, Michael Bagford. The movie? The Irvin Kershner directed James Bond film, NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN! A Bond movie that's not quite a Bond movie because of complicated rights? It's the return (and final performance) of Sean Connery as 007 and while we were skeptical that this COULD'VE been a Cannon, there were plenty of gleeful Cannon-like choices that brought a big ol' Golan & Globus like grin to our faces. Let's just say THERE'S A FRIGGIN' VIDEO GAME FIGHT!!! So Never Say Never Again unless you say never again, then you said never once more, but maybe you can avoid saying it again, but then you'll have to remember...Never Say Never...Again.
