Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael Bay

Optimus!! Listen up as Will's pick for the week has the podcast duo examining all things BAYHEM with the ludicrous absurdity of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Shia LaBeouf? Megatron? The Pyramids? John Turturro? Words?!?! All becomes meaningless as we finally talk about the cinema of Michael Bay.

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay have a bad day turn to worse, and worse, and worse while discussing the criminally underrated actioner, 'Ambulance.' Bombay kicks off the episode by telling a story about meeting an excited Michael Bay at a party, and how his real-life enthusiasm bleeds through to his work. Then the boys dive in on one of the best films of the decade, an action movie that bares all the tension-building tropes of a classic thriller. They discuss how impressive it was to see Bay return to his roots and pull off incredible stunts with practical FX, and all on a relatively modest $40 million budget. For the film, the seasoned director brought his favorite co-star which was hundreds of drones. This technology appeared to allow Bay to fully achieve his vision of Bayhem. The movie's pacing is dialed up to an 11, and Jake Gyllenhaal delivers a wonderfully gonzo performance that is also cranked up. Eiza Gonzalez is given one of her meatier roles to date, and manages to go toe-to-toe with Gyllenhaal — whose run before this movie was one of the greatest ever seen by a modern actor. Besides the propulsive action all the trademark Bay touches are there including overstuffed amount of characters, and juvenile humor, but it all adds to the charm of this comparatively stripped-down installment in the Bay oeuvre.  

Ahead of Edinburgh International Film Festival kicking off on 13 August, Ellie, Peter, Jamie and Anahit have got together to take a deep dive into three interesting-looking titles in the programme. First they take a trip back to 19th-century Edinburgh for The Education of Jane Cumming, a true-life story that inspired the classic 60s queer drama The Children's Hour. It's then off to France for Goodbye Cruel World, a beautifully shot film that begins as a story of teen bullying and depression before morphing into a dreamy coming-of-age romance. And things then take a turn in our kooky third film, The Peril at Pincer Point, which follows a feckless sound recordist searching for unique field recordings on a strange island.  We also pick out some other picks from the festival and get a bit too animated about an unlikely inclusion in the programme: Michael Bay's delightfully ludicrous action thriller The Rock. We've something for everyone, literally!

In 1955, Paramount Pictures released one of their tentpole VistaVision epics, Strategic Air Command, starring James Stewart and directed by his longtime collaborator, Anthony Mann. Strategic Air Command is peak, high-resolution, widescreen 1950s propaganda at its finest, and while not a great film (David and I argue about that aspect too!), its time and place in the building of the mythology of Curtis LeMay's US Air Force bombing arm offers a fascinating insight into the mindset of both LeMay and Jimmy Stewart.David, the host of The Cold War channel on YouTube, joins me to bring our long-running Bluesky debate about this film to the channel and look at a film that had US military cooperation at a level that would make Michael Bay and Tom Cruise green with envy.Check out The Cold War channel on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/@TheColdWarTVFollow David on Bluesky here: https://bsky.app/profile/coldwarhost.bsky.social-----------------------------------------------------

Mit Thilo vom "Antenne Alderaan" Podcast bespreche ich den 90s Actionfilm Bad Boys. Wir sprechen über den Start der legendäre Actionreihe mit Will Smith und Martin Lawrence, liefern spannende Hintergrundfakten, kuriose Anekdoten und jede Menge Nostalgie. Also: Sonnenbrille auf, Lautstärke hoch und reinhören – We ride together, we pod together!

Bridget Phetasy sits down with culture critic and journalist Art Tavana — a former Playboy colleague — to talk about why the Right's meltdown over Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is the most Liberal thing they've ever done. They dig into how both sides have been completely consumed by the same culture war brain rot, why nobody can actually win this fight, how postmodernism has infected everyone including its own critics, and what it means that we've lost the ability to sit down and finish a movie. Plus: The literacy crisis nobody's talking about, Gen Z's dead-eyed immunity to outrage, how Playboy blew its last chance at a comeback, and why Christopher Nolan is just Michael Bay in a scarf.#TheOdyssey #CultureWar #WalkInsWelcomeTopics covered: Christopher Nolan and The Odyssey controversy, right-wing cancel culture, Elon Musk and X echo chambers, postmodernism and the arts, literacy crisis, attention spans and short-form content, Gen Z and culture war exhaustion, Playboy's collapse, DEI and the Oscars, press junkets and film criticism

Houston, we have a podcast. This week, 3 Guys and a Flick blasts off with Michael Bay's gloriously over-the-top 1998 disaster epic, *Armageddon*. The guys dig into the all-star cast, wild production stories, unforgettable action sequences, Aerosmith-fueled soundtrack, and enough scientific inaccuracies to make NASA break into a cold sweat. From Bruce Willis' heroic Harry Stamper and Ben Affleck's questionable astronaut training to Steve Buscemi's scene-stealing Rockhound, the crew shares favorite moments, behind-the-scenes trivia, and plenty of laughs along the way. They also reflect on the film's surprisingly emotional finale before delivering their signature ratings and listener feedback. So grab your space suit, fire up the drill, and don't miss a thing, because the end of the world has never been this entertaining.

Adam and Jared mix it up after watching 7 Transformers on the trot and discuss both the Mount Rushmore and Mount Flushmore of the movies directed by action auteur Michael Bay.

On this week's episode of the pod, Jamelle and John cover Michael Bay's 1998 asteroid movie Armageddon — the one where oil drillers, not astronauts, are sent to save the world. They discuss why it reads as the most right-wing film they've covered: a movie that valorizes blue-collar white masculinity and treats scientists and bureaucrats as obstacles, an opening sequence that prefigures 9/11, and a worldview that anticipates George W. Bush–era conservatism. Also covered: the Michael Bay auteur-versus-slop debate, "space dementia," the movie's cynicism about government, and how impossible the physics actually is. Plus listener feedback and a look at what's ahead.Next on the main feed (new episodes every two weeks): the other 1998 asteroid movie, Mimi Leder's Deep Impact, with Robert Duvall, Téa Leoni, Elijah Wood, Morgan Freeman, and Vanessa Redgrave.Support the show at patreon.com/unclearpod — $5/month for roughly six episodes a month, including a weekly politics show and discussions of the political and military thrillers of the Cold War.

It was finally time for Naomi to watch one of the most iconic action-comedies of the '90s. From Will Smith and Martin Lawrence's unforgettable chemistry to explosive action and peak Michael Bay energy, we find out if Naomi thinks it lived up to the hype! Plus, the chat weighs in on the best cop movies to add to our list, Girl Scout Cookie Donuts, Pringles Hot Dog Buns, and the whitest phrases of all time!

Welcome to The Movie Racket, a new Filmspotting production hosted by Michael Phillips. Each week, we’ll test a so-called "law" of cinema — a bit of received wisdom about how movies work, or don’t. For our debut episode, actor Michael Shannon joins the show to examine a provocative claim from François Truffaut: that every film about war ends up being pro-war. Is it true that a movie about combat, survival, and heroism can never escape the pull of spectacle and the way cinema inevitably renders violence compelling? Shannon reflects on that inherent tension and revisits his experience working on Michael Bay’s Pearl Harbor, a film that presents this question of representation head-on. So: was Truffaut right? Or does cinema allow for something more complicated than a binary verdict? Join the conversation at movieracket@filmspotting.net.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the 90's, a young director caught "lightning in a bottle" with his first three films. Anyone remember the run Michael Bay had? Bad Boys, The Rock, and Armageddon sound familiar? Nick and Mark sure do! Enjoy as the two of them reminisce about this incredible run that transpired starting back in 1995.

On this week's episode of Unclear and Present Danger, we watched Roland Emmerich's attempt to bring Godzilla to Hollywood in the appropriately titled Godzilla. Ostensibly a film about the dangers of nuclear testing, Godzilla is a total mess, a miserable failure that deserves its poor reputation.We talked about that deservedly poor reputation, as well as changing American perceptions of the military as the 1990s came to a close. Tune in!In our next episode, we tackle Michael Bay's masterpiece Armageddon, one of two movies that year about an asteroid hitting earth. And our Patreon, we watched two movies about the Nuremburg trials — from 2000 and 2025 — and talked about them. Listen to that episode, and more, at patreon.com/unclearpod.

On the latest episode of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, Bryan, Dan, and Preston do what every middle-aged movie podcaster eventually must do. They stare into the sun of American masculinity and discover that it is wearing a tank top from a Miami gym. Their subject is Pain & Gain, which is Michael Bay's delirious 2013 true-crime movie, featuring Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson, and what appears to be every stand-up comedian who happened to be wandering through Florida at the time. The post Episode #164 – Pain and Gain (2013) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

For the latest episode of this 90s movie celebration podcast, Chris Candy, Rob Belushi and Blake Howard want "a suite, a shower, a shave, the feel of a suit," get ready with us getting flashbacks to the 15-year-old-nutbust that is Michael Bay's THE ROCK.Thank you so much for the ongoing support!Join our Patreon for as little as $1 a month for exclusive weekly podcasts + access to the OHM discord here.One Heat Minute ProductionsWEBSITE: oneheatminute.comTWITTER: @OneBlakeMinute & @OHMPodsMERCH: https://www.teepublic.com/en-au/stores/one-heat-minute-productionAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Our heroes get swole on some Michael Bay.

The opening of The Seals ... it is the beginning of the end! A vision of catastrophe and mayhem! The very definition of the Apocalypse! Well, not really ... Yes, the last one, but the others, calm down. This is not a Michael Bay film! So what do the opening of the Seals by the ONE AND ONLY JESUS, The Lamb and Lion of Judah, mean? How does that change what I do now? Listen-in on this conversation!⚠️

Patrick and special guest Vincent dig into their personal connections to Michael Bay's original 2007 film Transformers, and Mark L. Lester's dystopian exploitation classic Class of 1984. 

[School of Movies 2026] This is a fun one. Statistically speaking if you're under the age of 45 you didn't go and see this summer blockbuster funded by Amazon. When you think about it, this probably should have been made in the late 2000s, just after Michael Bay's immensely successful Transformers, and notably around the time they started planning the movie anyway. Instead it has taken another twenty years to hit the big screen and now faces relevance to only late Gen Xers like Sharon and I. The film, directed by Bumblebee and Kubo second-stringer Travis Knight is an enjoyable MESS! It does have heart, and an adorable softboy lead who seems to have understood the assignment. It's a higgledy-piggledy remix of all four Thor movies, with traces of sixteen unfinished scripts floating around, and yet somehow Jared Leto manages to be entertaining for once in his life. Sharon is our audience surrogate as I take you all by the hand and lead you through Eternia. This is one to listen to, even (especially) if you haven't seen it.

Hay historias que parecen escritas para recordarnos que el mal no siempre se esconde en callejones oscuros ni en criminales de novela; a veces camina descalzo por iglesias, cuida jardines ajenos o duerme en la misma comunidad que mira al otro lado. Este es el retrato de un hombre extraño, marcado por la violencia en su infancia y por un destino errante que lo condujo del ridículo al horror. Su vida fue un desfile de disfraces y máscaras: mendigo, soldado, chef, jardinero… pero bajo cada identidad se ocultaba un abismo sin fondo. Cuando al fin emergió, lo hizo en forma de un crimen que estremeció a todo un vecindario y que décadas después aún proyecta una sombra incómoda sobre la conciencia de toda una comunidad.

We touch on a lot of things on this week's Moviecast. Roku is being sold. Spielberg is salty about never being chosen for Bond, but is producing a new Transformers movie along with Michael Bay. Marvel's MCU version of X-Men will be unlike what we've seen before. We get some more info on The Batman 2, including who Sebastian Stan is playing. James Gunn's DC strategy puzzles us. Mark Hamill will show up in Twisted Metal's third season. 24 Jump Street is on the way. #transformers #thebatman2 #dcu #mcu #xmen #twistedmetal3 #roku #streaming #tv #film #podcast #allyoucangeek #aycg 

It's as if 007 went to prison for decades, was let out by government guys played by John Spencer & William Forsythe and then he had to help a nerdy Nicolas Cage save hostages on a deserted island. Well, hold up, that IS the plot of The Rock! Michael Bay's action movie is deeper than you might expect, with Ed Harris playing a superstar Marine general who becomes a terrorist…with sympathetic complexity. Cage is the out-of-his-element expert on chemical weapons who teams with Sean Connery's Bond-like ex-spy who once escaped from Alcatraz. The flick is a Bay/Bruckheimer/Simpson collab so it's gaudy, loud, tart-tongued and very exciting. Those 2 Mexican stand-offs are phenomenal scenes. There's death and destruction in The Rock, sure, yet it's just fun. So, yesh, cut Agent Goodspeed some slack as he battles the guy threatening to launch deadly gas while mourning his men (and "his wife") in this 744th episode. Well, Actually: Mason uses SF Information to find his daughter...he doesn't just magically remember a phone number he never had. Also, the funny line about bailing on lemons is in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, not I Love You, Man. Also also, it DOES seem like Tony Todd's character knocks over a rock on purpose to start a massacre in the shower scene...and also at least SOME of Hummel's marines are killed when that "all enemies…foreign, sir, and domestic" melee is over.

Dana and Tom with 5x Club Member, Jesse Sertle (Fellow group member of CineMadison) discuss The Rock (1996) for its 30th anniversary: directed by Michael Bay, written by David Weisberg, Douglas S. Cook, and Mark Rosner, cinematography by John Schwartzman, editing by Richard Francis-Bruce, music by Nick Glennie-Smith and Hans Zimmer, starring Sean Connery, Ed Harris, and Nicolas Cage.Plot Summary: In The Rock, a rogue U.S. general (Ed Harris) seizes Alcatraz Island and threatens San Francisco with stolen chemical weapons, forcing an unlikely duo—a bookish FBI chemist (Nicolas Cage) and a vanished‑from‑the‑grid ex‑spy (Sean Connery) —into the island's fog‑shrouded fortress. As they infiltrate the abandoned prison's tunnels and rusted battlements, the mission becomes a tense clash of wills and philosophies, where loyalty, guilt, and the weight of past secrets press in as heavily as the Pacific mist. The Rock turns into a high‑stakes pressure cooker, inviting you into a world where every corridor hums with danger and every choice feels like it could tip the balance.Guest:Jesse Sertle (5x Club Member)Fellow group member of CineMadisonPreviously on Rounders (1998), Easy Rider (1969), and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019), Star Wars (1977)@jsertle on IGChapters:00:00 Introduction, Cast, and Background for The Rock03:00 Welcome Back, Jesse Sertle06:04 Tom's Difficulty with Michael Bay08:55 Relationship(s) with The Rock14:07 Michael Bay19:28 Nicolas Cage23:24 Sean Connery25:23 How to Enjoy Any Michael Bay Movie26:25 Plot Summary for The Rock27:23 What is The Rock About?28:41 Did You Know?32:39 First Break33:22 What's Happening with Jesse Sertle?34:03 Best Performance(s)39:51 Best Scene(s)47:22 Second Break48:14 Best/Funniest Lines51:24 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy57:09 The Stanley Rubric - Impact/Significance01:01:45 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty01:05:02 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness01:11:53 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability01:16:10 The Stanley Rubric - Audience Score and Final Total01:17:49 Remaining Questions for The Rock01:20:19 Thank You to Jesse and Remaining Thoughts01:23:33 CreditsYou can also find this episode in full video on YouTube.You can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky, Threads, YouTube, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast).For more on the episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/the-rock-1996-ft-jesse-sertleFor the entire rankings list so far, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/greatest-movie-of-all-time-listKeywords:The Rock, Michael Bay, Nicolas Cage, Sean Connery, Ed Harris, 90s action movies, film critique, behind the scenes, movie analysis, film analysis, movie review, 90s cinema, rewatchability, film legacyRonny Duncan Studios

Take pleasure in the gut-wrenching excitement of a 90s action milestone! This week on The Dana Buckler Show, we are heading straight to Alcatraz to break down Michael Bay's 1996 definitive high-concept thriller, The Rock.Coming off the success of Bad Boys, Michael Bay was handed the keys to a massive blockbuster budget, a killer premise, and an absolutely legendary cast. The result? A beautifully shot, fast-paced, explosion-filled masterpiece that stands as a high-water mark for the golden era of 90s action cinema and Hollywood summer blockbusters.In this cinema retrospective, film historian Dana Buckler dives deep into: The Powerhouse Trio: The incredible, lightning-in-a-bottle chemistry between Nicolas Cage's frantic, vinyl-loving FBI chemical weapons expert Stanley Goodspeed and Sean Connery's sophisticated, badass British operative John Patrick Mason. The Sympathetic Villain: Ed Harris's brilliant, nuanced performance as General Hummel—an antagonist with legitimate, tragic motives that elevate the stakes way beyond a standard hostage situation. The Pinnacle of 90s Action: From the iconic, destructive Ferrari car chase through the streets of San Francisco to the brutal shower room standoff, we break down why the practical effects and set pieces in this film still hold up today. The Uncredited Script Doctors: How Hollywood legends like Quentin Tarantino, Aaron Sorkin, and Jonathan Hensleigh secretly helped polish the razor-sharp dialogue. Whether you're a long-time fan who can quote "Your best! Losers always whine about their best" line-for-line, or you're revisiting this classic Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer production era for the first time, grab your green smoke and join us for the ultimate film review.Welcome to The Rock!Join our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/danabucklershowJoin my Patreon for early access to all episodes, plus a new exclusive podcast, go to Patreon.com/howisthismovieSubscribe to the podcast on your favorite podcast platform by going to https://linktr.ee/DanaBucklerShowJoin our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/danabucklershowJoin Our Patreon for early access to all episodes, plus a new exclusive podcast, go to Patreon.com/howisthismovie #TheRock #TheDanaBuckler Show #90sAction #NicolasCage #SeanConnery #MichaelBay #FilmPodcast #MovieHistory #CinemaRetrospective #ActionMovies #90sCinema #FilmBuff

MayAction Month continues with one of the most entertaining buddy cop films ever made: Bad BoysIn Episode 370 of Jay Movie Talk, I revisit the action comedy classic that launched the iconic partnership of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence and introduced the world to Michael Bay's larger-than-life directing style. More than just explosions and one-liners, Bad Boys succeeds because of its chemistry, humor, and nonstop energy.This episode dives into:*Why Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett became one of the greatest action duos in movie history.*Will Smith and Martin Lawrence's unforgettable chemistry *Michael Bay's directorial debut and the birth of his signature style.*The practical stunts, shootouts, and explosive set pieces that defined 90s action *Why Bad Boys still holds up as one of the most rewatchable action movies of its era I also discuss the legacy of the buddy cop genre, compare Bad Boys to other classics like Lethal Weapon and Rush Hour, and explore why the personality-driven action films remain so beloved.Three decades later, Bad Boys still delivers laughs, swagger, and some of the most fun action moments of the 1990s.

The precision, patience, and technical know how needed to sell action filmmaking is underrated and under appreciated. Action directors like Michael Curtiz, Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, George Miller, John McTiernan, even. . .Michael Bay get treated differently than art house canonically revered moviemakers. Yet what is accomplished in action hits like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Aliens, Die Hard, Mad Max Fury Road, even Bad Boys II is a cinematic miracle. Very carefully planned illusion becomes reality. Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill takes a filmmaking-centric approach to talk about the technical tools and tricks used to sell stunts, sequences, cinematic danger. 

In the summer of 1998, Hollywood delivered two versions of the apocalypse within eight weeks of each other, and the story of how that happened is almost as dramatic as either film.Deep Impact, directed by Mimi Leder and released on 8th May, had been in development since the late 1970s, tracing its origins to producers Richard Zanuck and David Brown's desire to remake the 1951 sci-fi film When Worlds Collide. The project was ultimately merged with Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke's The Hammer of God, before Spielberg, occupied with Amistad, handed the director's chair to Leder.What emerged was a deliberately restrained disaster film, one less interested in the mechanics of impact than in the texture of grief: how ordinary people, politicians, astronauts, and estranged families face the end with or without dignity. With scientific consultants including comet co-discoverers Carolyn and Gene Shoemaker, and ILM's groundbreaking digital tsunami, the film earned genuine respect from the astronomical community and grossed a respectable $349 million worldwide on an $80 million budget.Armageddon, released on 1st July under Disney's Touchstone Pictures banner, was a different creature entirely, and was, by most accounts, a direct competitive response to Deep Impact.Michael Bay's film was shot in just sixteen weeks, with unprecedented government and military access, under enormous studio pressure. Where Deep Impact depicted skilled astronomers, Armageddon hired oil drillers and sent them to space. Where Leder's film earned praise for plausibility, Bay's is famously scientifically inaccurate in many ways. Despite this, Armageddon grossed $553 million worldwide, topped the year's global box office, eventually received a Criterion Collection release and four Oscar nominations. Deep Impact did not.Both hinge on sacrifice, on families torn apart by cosmic indifference, on the question of who gets saved and who doesn't. Both were shaped by real cosmic events, which shook the scientific community and governments into action and Hollywood into a race to dramatise the unthinkable. One film aimed for the gut; the other aimed for the conscience.That Armageddon won commercially while Deep Impact won critically, and that Mimi Leder's career faltered, while Michael Bay built a franchise empire, tells you not just about the summer of 1998, but about which kinds of spectacle Hollywood, and audiences, are willing to reward.Everything wrong with Armageddon – Everyday Science StuffSupport Verbal DioramaLoved this episode?
