Ryan and Dylan examine Spielberg's non-Indiana Jones 80s filmography. They revisit one of the most popular and enduring family films ever made -- E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial -- before looking at Spielberg's attempts to pair his crowd-pleasing, sentimental style with darker, more mature subject matter in The Color Purple (1985) and Empire of the Sun (1987).

Warner Bros. was ready to write off Coyote vs. Acme, and after a sale to another company it has taken in about $85 million as of this episode's release. That sits inside a summer that put $4.7 billion through the box office, a record in dollars with ticket sales still short of the peak, and theaters full of young people lining up for smaller originals like Buddy alongside Nolan's Odyssey and Spider-Man. Chris, Daniel, and James Blevins read it as proof that the majors can no longer pick winners. Daniel adds that Neon and A24 now sell what the studios used to sell, an identity people buy tickets on. Daniel said on an earlier episode that if Backrooms hit, everyone should look into SCP and liminal space horror. A24, the studio behind Backrooms, has since taken worldwide rights to V/H/S: SCP, set for a 2027 theatrical release. Daniel says Spielberg is producing The Mandela Catalogue and Siren Head is headed for a major movie, all from a horror genre born on YouTube that the studios missed while they skipped two generations of filmmakers. He expects There Is No Antimemetics Division to be the next book bought for a film. Chris asks whether anyone can own Backrooms at all. The panel also talks through the Paramount and Warner Bros. deal just days before the settlement was announced. AI gets its own stretch, starting with the AI film festival running alongside Venice and the new guild agreements, and turning into an argument over whether the flood of mediocre AI work corrects itself. James says it does. Chris points to ZBrush and its identical alien creatures. The show ends on Daniel's lineup for a Monstrous Moonshine Film Festival, where Stripes and Full Metal Jacket count as the same movie. Tools and companies mentioned: Warner Bros., Paramount, A24, Neon, Spooky Pictures, Image Nation Studios, ZBrush, Panavision, SAG-AFTRA, WGA Premier Sponsor: Center Grid Virtual Studio >

A movie as timeless as any other film and an important one at that. Brendan and Jason discuss Spielberg's Holocaust drama Schindler's List. No clever little summary here, folks - just a frank discussion of one of the greatest modern films of all-time. Next week: ignore the announcement of the next movie!

You're gonna need a bigger boat. This week on Required Viewing, we wade into Steven Spielberg's Jaws (1975) — the film that invented the summer blockbuster, emptied the beaches of an entire generation, and pulled it off precisely because the shark wouldn't work. We get into the happy accident at the center of it: a malfunctioning mechanical fish that forced a 27-year-old Spielberg to hide his monster, turning technical catastrophe into pure Hitchcockian dread — that, and two notes from John Williams.We dig into the real horror beneath the horror (a town that keeps the beaches open for the money), the perfect Brody–Quint–Hooper triangle, Robert Shaw's Indianapolis speech, and how one problem-plagued shoot rewired Hollywood's entire business model in a single summer. Man versus nature, man versus man, and the blockbuster's original sin — from every angle.Media scholar Dr. David D. Perlmutter and Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, go in the water.

Foggy Seattle mornings are this author's favorite writing companions. I love curling up with a notebook and pen on the couch, cat beside me, dog at my feet, to jot down traces of a dream or a story outline or ideas for the podcast. This mini-episode was born in that cozy space. As I was researching Mount Shasta, giving the place a fresh deep dive for the new book, I remembered something, Shasta Lake. As we drove past this lake from I-5 I'd watch houseboats peeking out the window like a soldier in a foxhole, wondering how ANYONE could float on that creepy body of water. In one instance, Dad pulled over where there was a boat launch because someone needed a restroom. A family wearing matching red striped tee shirts loaded supplies onto a boat, and their joy was obvious. To me, it felt like the opening shot of a horror movie, Spielberg-esque, a glimpse of a picture perfect family, set up to lull the viewer into a feeling of safety before it all goes to hell in a hand basket.Well, I'm not the only one that feels uneasy at the site of Shasta Lake. And recently, someone found a prosthetic leg in the waters. Oh, and if this place doesn't give YOU nightmares, it might after you hear a creepypasta from YouTube about a fisherman that goes missing and claw marks on the side of his abandoned boat.Let's get into it!Shasta Lake 101Located in Northern California not far from Redding, it is the state's largest reservoir. A manmade creation between 1935-45 in tandem with the construction of Shasta Dam that spans the Sacramento River, it covers 30,000 acres of what was once a valley.When Shasta Lake is completely full it can reach depths of 500 feet.Shasta Lake is known as the 'houseboat capital of the world' and is a water sport playground.

En el festival de Montercarlo de 1967, el jurado determinó que el ganador del mejor guion era Chicho Ibáñez Serrador. En consecuencia, le entregaron la Ninfa de Oro, que era el premio que le correspondía. Pero lo más llamativo ocurrió después, cuando Chicho tuvo un largo encuentro con uno de los grandes perdedores de la noche, un joven llamado Steven Spielberg. Por entonces no le conocía nadie. Quería arrojar la toalla y dejar la entonces frustrada vocación que tenía. En un encuentro inolvidable en una de las playas de Montecarlo, Chico, el director español -ya mítico por entonces-, dialogó ampliamente con un hundido y tocado Spielberg, que ni se imaginaba que se iba a convertir en el director de más éxito de la historia del cine. Ahora, el director Rubén Guindo ha efectuado en cortometraje Montecarlo 67, en donde reconstruye este fantástico encuentro. Con él charlamos.

What does it take to earn Steven Spielberg's trust behind the camera and keep it for nearly three decades? Mitch Dubin SOC has operated 18 films for Spielberg, including Saving Private Ryan, Minority Report, Munich, Catch Me If You Can and West Side Story. In this episode, Mitch takes us inside the craft of camera operating at its highest level. He shares how he developed his instinct for framing, why the relationship between an operator and dolly grip is so important, how the camera can protect an actor's performance, and what it means to truly tell a story through movement. Mitch also takes us behind the scenes of his extraordinary collaboration with Spielberg, from earning his trust on The Lost World to the controlled chaos of the D Day sequence in Saving Private Ryan and the elaborate camera choreography of Minority Report. More recently, Mitch has brought that experience to television through his collaborations with Noah Hawley on Fargo, Legion and Alien: Earth. A masterclass in instinct, collaboration and the invisible craft behind some of cinema's most unforgettable images. This podcast is powered by Sony technology. Sponsored by Panavision.

The Return of the Summer Smash. Part two of our Summer Review sees Andy, Ash, Stu, and Ed wrap up their look back at the record-breaking Summer of 2026. With July and Augustdelivering the season's heaviest of heavy-hitters; The Odyssey, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, surprise successes, disappointments, horror hits, and the films that helped turn a strong summer into one of the biggest box-office stories in modern cinema. The question remains: did Summer 2026 prove audiences still want the big-screen experience? The Short Short Film Film Review heads back to where it all began with Amblin', the low-budget short film that launched the career of a young filmmaker named Steven Spielberg. Long before the sharks, dinosaurs, aliens and archaeologists, there was a desert road trip, a guitar case, and a glimpse of one of cinema's future giants finding his voice. Finally, the Cruise Cruise rolls straight into our Spielberg double-bill, as Tom reunites with Steve in an alien invasion epic, as we talk all things War of the Worlds (2005). Giant tripods. Panicked crowds. Dakota Fanning screaming at frequencies normally reserved for military sonar. Between Spielberg's relentless direction, one of Cruise's most intense performances, and a post-9/11 blockbuster packed with anxiety, fear, and spectacle, the lads ask whether this is one of the most underrated science-fiction films of the 2000s. Of course, no discussion of 2005 Tom Cruise would be complete without a trip through Scientology Watch, and this is a PRIME CRUISE MADNESS tale!With the usual blend of silliness, seriousness, alien invasions, and existential panic, it's time once again to take Cruise Control. 

Smile, you son of a bitch!* When most people picture the landlocked mountains of Austria, the last thing they think of is shark attacks. So imagine our surprise when we saw the Shark gobble up the competition this week at Red Bull Ring, even devouring Jorge Martin whole. The Shark in question is, of course, Pedro Acosta driving that giant hammerhead of a KTM. He dominated the training on Friday, screwed it up dramatically on Saturday during the sprint and then came back swinging today, earning KTM its first victory on a dry track in half a decade. But how did he do it? Enter Mat and Peter, who've got some theories. See, one thing that makes sharks so special is that evolution doesn't seem to have changed them much this aeon. They found something that worked a long time ago, and it works still. Only in this case we're not talking about a Great White's scary sense of smell or rotating revolver teeth; we're looking at an oldschool racing bike which still allows you to go completely apeshit on the front when entering corners. Combine that fact with the nature of this track, and it might be accurate to state that this is the first time we've seen Acosta on equal machinery. God knows we'd like to see it more often! Meanwhile Jorge Martin seems to have taken over from Marquez in the tournament standing, bringing some seriously competitive heat to the next few races. Exciting times, no doubt. Just watch out for blood in the water, or we might end up needing a bigger boat bike!*If there was ever a time to quote from Spielberg, wouldn't it be when racing here?---Want more?

This week, Sarah's world's collide as her and MJ are joined by her former co-host, Barry Levitt to talk about 1940's Pinocchio. They run the gamut through the film's astonishing animation, its simple but effective storytelling, and all the subtle and not so sublte ways the film has seeped into the DNA of Spielberg's films over the decades.

A grey, rainy and chilly day at Red Bull Ring did not stop a torrent of news and conjecture in Austria. Pecco's rage, new trophies, low crowd expectations and more, dissected by Adam, David and Neil from the comfy confines of the 5-star Media Centre at Spielberg.

This week, we return to the films of Steven Spielberg. We are skipping 1983's Twilight Zone: The Movie, which Spielberg only partially directed, although we do discuss it here. The main subject of this episode though, is Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Spielberg's first sequel and a film that directly inspired the creation of the PG-13 rating.SPOILER ALERT We will be talking about this movie in its entirety. If you haven't seen this classic, we strongly suggest you watch it before listening to our takes.A Lucasfilm production, released by Paramount Pictures on May 23, 1984. Directed by Steven Spielberg. Screenplay by Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz, based on a story by George Lucas. Starring Harrison Ford, Kate Capshaw, Jonathan Ke Quan, Amrish Puri, and Roshan Seth. Cinematography by Douglas Slocombe. Edited by Michael Kahn. Music by John Williams.

Kevin and Andrew are back, and this episode covers a lot of ground. The main discussion is Lanterns, the new DCU series starring Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart. After a slower opening, Andrew becomes fully invested by Episode 3, and both hosts argue that the grounded mystery may be the strongest project in James Gunn's DCU so far. They discuss the Manhunters, John Stewart's family, Hal's arrogance, Sinestro, the wider Lantern mythology, and why the series works even without constantly leaning on superhero spectacle. Kevin also reviews Buddy, an R-rated horror comedy built around a children's television character who becomes increasingly violent and terrifying. What begins like a Barney-style kids' show slowly turns into a bloody, surreal horror movie with surprising franchise potential. Andrew then joins Kevin for a mixed discussion of Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day, including Emily Blunt's performance, the film's ideas about alien contact and religion, how believable public disclosure would be in the age of AI and misinformation, and whether the movie would have been better suited to streaming. Kevin also recommends The End of Oak Street, a dinosaur adventure that feels like a modern Spielberg film, and Ridley Scott's The Dog Stars, a quieter post-apocalyptic drama starring Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin, Margaret Qualley, Guy Pearce, and Allison Janney. The episode also touches on Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Vision Quest, Widow's Bay, Dark Matter Season 2, the Harry Potter TV reboot, and why audiences are increasingly frustrated with multi-year waits between seasons.

Deze week word je niet bijgepraat over het allerlaatste nerd nieuws, want in aflevering 275 van Nerd Culture pakken we het net ietsjes anders aan, Jelle en Koos zijn nog steeds op avontuur en daarom schuift Donny aan bij Huey voor een aflevering die volledig in het teken staat van één van de grootste avonturenfilms aller tijden: Raiders of the Lost Ark. Een film die deze week 45 jaar oud is, maar nog altijd stand houdt als een van Spielbergs absolute klassiekers. Dus trek je fedora uit de kast, pak je zweep erbij en bereid je voor op een flinke dosis Indiana Jones. Raiders of the Lost Ark: de perfecte avonturenfilm? Wat maakt Raiders of the Lost Ark eigenlijk zo goed? Donny en Huey duiken volledig in de film die in 1981 Indiana Jones introduceerde en daarmee een blauwdruk neerzette voor avonturenfilms die volgden. Van de iconische openingsscène en de gigantische rots tot de zoektocht naar de Ark des Verbonds: alles komt voorbij. Wat zijn hun favoriete momenten, hoe goed houden de personages zich nog stand en waarom werkt deze film na al die jaren nog steeds zo ontzettend goed? Indiana Jones, Spielberg, Lucas & de erfenis van Raiders Natuurlijk kijken we ook naar de mensen achter de film. Steven Spielberg, George Lucas en Harrison Ford kwamen samen voor een film die uiteindelijk veel groter zou worden dan iemand vooraf had durven te voorspellen. We bespreken de invloed van Raiders of the Lost Ark op films, games en de bredere nerdcultuur, maar natuurlijk ook de films die daarna kwamen. En moeten we de latere Indiana Jones-films nog wel serieus nemen? Donny en Huey hebben er in ieder geval genoeg over te zeggen. Van de Ark des Verbonds tot Indiana's zweep en van Spielberg tot Harrison Ford: Nerd Culture 275 staat volledig in het teken van Raiders of the Lost Ark. Jelle en Koos mogen er dan even op uit zijn, maar Huey en Donny gaan gewoon verder.

Back to the Future Part II wasn't really supposed to exist as its own film. The original Back to the Future's "TO BE CONTINUED" tag was actually a post-hoc addition for home video, not a plan, after studio head Sid Sheinberg demanded a sequel. The pitch that eventually became two movies went from Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis, through Spielberg, to Sid Sheinberg, who greenlit the whole thing on the spot.From the film's vision of the future 2015, to its pre-CGI ingenuity, and a purpose-built motion-control rig called the VistaGlide that let Michael J. Fox play multiple characters in the same unbroken shot, Back to the Future Part II's ingenious visual effects work was good enough to earn it an Oscar nomination.But we need to talk about George McFly. The character was originally written as dead in the darker alternate-1985 timeline, after negotiations with Crispin Glover fell apart over money and a real creative disagreement about where the character's arc was headed. What happened next was the production used face moulds taken from Glover during the first film to build facial prosthetics for his replacement, Jeffrey Weissman. It led to an infamous lawsuit over the reconstruction of his likeness without consent, that would have ramifications in Hollywood for decades to come...Support Verbal DioramaLoved this episode?

What does Hollywood get wrong about aliens? Plenty, according to Amanda Llewellyn, the co-director of the upcoming documentary UFOs and God, a film centered on examining the modern surge of UFO sightings, the multiple tranches of government disclosures, and society's obsession with extraterrestrials. Amanda roasts Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day for getting it wrong when it comes to the supernatural phenomena of aliens or UFOs. Amanda says that she encountered aliens and was abducted while she was growing up, and the trauma had a deep impact on her life. Thankfully, she found peace in Christ and offers tremendous insight into UFOs and aliens. This topic is often twisted and sensationalized in all the wrong ways in modern culture. TAKEAWAYS UFO or alien activity is spiritual The phenomenon of UFO sightings doesn't take place in a vacuum Spielberg's film presents a friendly and benign picture of aliens who are not really “demons” but are certainly demonic UFOs and God is available on September 11, 2026 at https://www.ufosandgod.com/

This was supposed to be the summer of disclosure. What happened?We were told that the new Steven Spielberg film Disclosure Day would challenge our faith and causes to question the truth contained in the Bible. While Spielberg's film failed to accomplish that lofty goal, the evangelist of the “ancient aliens” gospel continue to promote their view of the creation of the world and the origins of humanity.Joining us to discuss how Christians can use Hollywood's portrayal of non-human intelligences to open serious discussions of the Bible is our regular Iron and Myth panel: Dr. Judd Burton (BurtonBeyond.net), author of Interview With the Giant; Doug Van Dorn (DouglasVanDorn.com), author of Battle for the Bible's Truth: Genesis, Jesus, and the Second Century Plot to Deny the Messiah; and Brian Godawa (Godawa.com), best-selling author of Daniel: Exile in Babylon, the first novel in a trilogy about the life of Daniel.Follow us!• X: @viewfrombunker (https://x.com/viewfrombunker) | @sharonkgilbert (https://x.com/sharonkgilbert) | @derekgilbert (https://x.com/derekgilbert)• Telegram: t.me/gilberthouse• Substack: gilberthouse.substack.com | sharonkgibert.substack.com• YouTube: @GilbertHouse (https://youtube.com/@gilberthouse) | @UnravelingRevelation (https://youtube.com/@unravelingrevelation)• Facebook.com/viewfromthebunker

Now Adam Kirsch aims his critical pen at the ultimate crazies — the flying saucer crowd. In We Want to Believe, Kirsch explains how aliens went mainstream and why this once-crackpot conspiracy theory has become a mainstream political and cultural fact. The beauty (if that's the right word) of the subject, Kirsch argues, is that because UFOs don't really exist, the flying saucer rumor mill encapsulates the paranoia of our populist age. Ever since the 2017 New York Times exposé of the Pentagon's secret UFO program, it's an industry that has fed off both the crisis of traditional authority and the suspicion that the people in power know more than they're letting on. Elites, in other words, know nothing and everything. Simultaneously. Maybe, even, they're the aliens themselves (see: Invasion of the Body Snatchers). Underneath this silliness, Kirsch notes, is something more substantial. Perhaps religion itself. Where people once saw miracles or demons, they now see little green-headed creatures packed into flying saucers. In other words, they provide a vocabulary for experiences that we can't explain, as well as a community with which we can share that mystery. So what happens when the aliens finally show up? As I suggested, maybe these transcendental creatures arrived. We've built them ourselves in the form of artificial intelligence. Kirsch agreed, seeing AI as a kind of nonhuman mind that doesn't experience the world as we do. Such a Copernican moment is “very imaginable,” the sceptic concedes. Disclosure Day. Starring Adam Kirsch. Five Takeaways •       A Pure Thought Experiment. The trilogy's logic, completed: three short books on popular ideas, this one distinguished by the fact that its subject doesn't exist — which is precisely its value. UFOs, Kirsch argues, let us think “in a very sort of almost consequence-free way” about who decides what's real, whose authority we trust, and why people need to believe — the defining questions of a populist moment in which vaccines, public health, and yesterday's common sense are all contested. The hinge was 2017: the New York Times's “Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money'” exposé revealed the Pentagon's AATIP program, and the paper of record saying the government knows more than it admits took UFOs from niche conspiracy to mainstream issue. Kirsch himself started paying attention — smoke that might lead to fire. “Unfortunately, in the years since then, no fire has been discovered.” What he learned instead: how easy it is to be misled, and what scientific evidence actually is.•       'Oumuamua's Wager. The book's treatment of past guest Avi Loeb is a study in the seduction of credentials: an astrophysicist of unimpeachable standing willing to entertain what colleagues won't — that the interstellar object ‘Oumuamua might have been a broken light sail from an alien probe — “kindles the imagination,” Kirsch's included. But the metal globs from the Pacific floor and the fresh candidates each year breed suspicion, and the standard remains Carl Sagan's: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Loeb's reply reworks Pascal — ‘Oumuamua's wager: believe, because the benefits of an open mind outweigh the cost of being wrong. Kirsch's honesty cuts through: “I would love to believe in UFOs.” Nothing would be more exciting. Which sharpens the genuine scientific conundrum — the space age promised a galaxy teeming with signals and delivered silence: “Why is Earth so important if it should be so unimportant? Where are all the other Earths?”•       The Archetype of Conspiracy. The disclosure paradigm is eighty years old, and it trained us all: the people in power know more than they're letting on, there are secret tapes and files, and the people deserve the truth — a template rehearsed on Roswell long before COVID or the Epstein files. Andrew's gloss: elites, in other words, know nothing and everything — simultaneously. Maybe, even, they're the aliens themselves (see: Invasion of the Body Snatchers). The official history runs from Truman's alarm at the early-fifties Washington flap (if the Soviets can reach our skies, we must know) through the commissions of Ruppelt, J. Allen Hynek, and Edward Condon — whose report closed the file for half a century — to the 2017 AATIP revelation that reopened it, complete with congressional hearings and annual Pentagon reporting requirements. Today's ledger: military pilots keep reporting lights that move impossibly; 95 percent get explained; the unexplained 5 percent “doesn't mean that they're UFOs — it just means there isn't enough information.” Even the vocabulary tells the story: “UFO,” coined in the fifties to sound neutral, absorbed the flying saucer and had to be replaced by “UAP.” Spielberg's Disclosure Day — fan service for believers, by Kirsch's account, and disappointing by Andrew's — monetizes the same secret-truth appeal that made Close Encounters.•       A Religious Impulse. Why do people believe? The scholar D. W. Pasulka's “book encounters” supply Kirsch's answer: someone has an experience they can't understand, reads the UFO literature, and says this is what happened to me — where a medieval villager would have named a miracle, a demon, or a god. Belief provides a vocabulary for the inexplicable and a community to interpret it with; Jacques Vallée, Silicon Valley's resident UFO intellectual, adds the perennialist claim that people have always seen strange things in the sky and that they mark “reality beyond our rational mind.” Science fiction serves the same hunger — Kirsch's own California childhood ran on The Next Generation and Asimov — a sandbox for questions religion once answered: what are humans for, why is mind so out of place in the universe? And the aliens we imagine are always mirrors: Wells's Darwinian indifference (we are their microbes), the Cold War's destroyers and moral guides, and now Musk's Mars — an insurance policy for mind itself against our own extinction. The catch that keeps UFOs at the intersection of science and belief: real aliens must obey physics, interstellar distances forbid the journey, so belief becomes “a big X” — faith that there's physics we haven't found. Even Sagan's Contact, Kirsch notes, resorts to a wormhole. Magic, scientifically dressed.•       The Aliens We Invented. The conversation's destination, via Andrew's suggestion that the aliens have arrived and we built them: “we might have invented the aliens that we've been looking for” — nonhuman minds, freed from biology, that don't experience the world as we do and may transcend or outlive us. What felt like science fiction when The Revolt Against Humanity appeared in 2023 now reads as near-future planning — and the AI lens even revises the search heuristic: perhaps advanced technology isn't skyscrapers in space but something chip-small, too compact to see. Pressed on whether a Copernican moment could leave skeptics — him and Andrew both — with egg on their faces, Kirsch concedes it's “very imaginable,” with the caveat that the loudest AGI claims come from those selling it. The poet's summation: the world not being made to our measure has been...

It's time to bid a fond farewell to our good friends Claire Dearing and Owen Grady with 2022's half-a-billion-dollar-costing JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION. Jack De La Mare, our very own Ian Malcolm, returns to discuss the COVID-inflected production of this trilogy closer, its difficulty in successfully exploring any of its ideas (or, really, making dinosaurs basically exciting), the relative necessity of bringing back the trio from Spielberg's original and our main takeaways from the Trevorrow Era of the Jurassic Saga. It's been a bumpy ride, but the eternal popularity of these movies means that another reboot is never far away…Follow the podcast on Twitter, Bluesky and Instagram and be sure to subscribe so you don't miss an episode!

Esqueceu a palavra "country" no meio de uma entrevista com Michelle Pfeiffer. Levou uma patada de Ney Matogrosso. Encarou Joaquin Phoenix, famoso por ser difícil em coletiva, e saiu de lá com uma conversa surpreendentemente gentil. Bem-vindo à rotina real de quem cobre cinema por trás das câmeras, onde o glamour do tapete vermelho esconde uma logística de guerra.Rafael Arinelli recebi Camila Henriques e Mariane Morisawa para ouvir histórias que vão da emoção genuína, como entrevistar Steven Spielberg ou Milton Nascimento, até os desafios técnicos de fazer perguntas em espanhol para Guillermo del Toro ou encarar o júri de Cannes com uma pergunta incômoda que rendeu uma resposta e tanto de Jeremy Strong. Mas o episódio também escancara o que ninguém vê: jornalistas dividindo apartamento a quatro, financiando viagens no crowdfunding, e assistindo filme após filme sem dormir só para dar conta do festival.O papo passa pela ironia dos junkets internacionais, pelo poder que assessores de imprensa exercem sobre quem tem acesso a quem, e pela pergunta que fica no ar: será que ainda existe espaço para o jornalismo cultural feito com tempo e cuidado?Nem tudo que reluz no tapete vermelho é ouro.• 04m35: Pauta Principal• 1h15m10: Plano Detalhe• 1h28m00: EncerramentoOuça nosso Podcast também no:• Spotify: https://cinemacao.short.gy/spotify• Apple Podcast: https://cinemacao.short.gy/apple• Android: https://cinemacao.short.gy/android• Deezer: https://cinemacao.short.gy/deezer• Amazon Music: https://cinemacao.short.gy/amazonAgradecimentos aos padrinhos: • André Marinho Moreira• Bruna Mercer• Charles Calisto Souza• Daniel Barbosa da Silva Feijó• Diego Alves Lima• Eloi Xavier• Guilherme S.

The Platt family is barely surviving, and that’s before their neighborhood is inexplicably dropped millions of years into the past and overrun by hungry dinosaurs. The End of Oak Street isn’t nearly as concerned with explaining that premise or exploring its characters as it is with facilitating dino mayhem and nostalgia for the films of writer-director David Robert Mitchell’s youth. That can be to the film’s benefit and detriment, both of which we cover in this week’s discussion, before bringing Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds back in to see how these two family survival narratives compare in their respective ideas about flawed parents, imperiled children, and the universal human desire to not get eaten. Then in Your Next Picture Show we consider a couple of possible alternate pairing for Oak Street, one featuring aliens, one featuring dinosaurs, and both underrated.

New fishing restrictions on Nantucket extend protections for great white sharks that began on Cape Cod Bay and the Outer Cape. Tom Moroney connects those rules to the lasting damage Jaws did to the species' reputation, and to his own past coverage of a now-defunct shark tournament on the Vineyard.

In the new post-apocalyptic film The Dog Stars, a virus has wiped out most of humanity and the survivors eke out a meager existence trying to stay alive. Sound like an oh-too-familiar tale? What if it featured stars like Jacob Elordi, Margaret Qualley, and Allison Janney? And was directed by Ridley Scott and based on a best-selling novel? Would it be enough to pull you in?

Ep 154 — Wolf Kahler — Colonel Dietrich in Raiders of the Lost ArkFor Episode 154 of The Filmumentaries Podcast, I'm going back to one of my earliest and most memorable interviews: a conversation with German actor Wolf Kahler, best known to film fans as Colonel Dietrich in Raiders of the Lost Ark.Kahler's wonderfully imposing performance as the Nazi officer who helps Belloq search for the Ark is one of the many unforgettable supporting performances in Spielberg's 1981 adventure. But there's much more to his career than one film.In this episode, Wolf talks about his acting career, how he came to be cast in Raiders of the Lost Ark, working with Steven Spielberg and the cast, and his memories of making one of the most beloved adventure films ever made.It's also a chance to revisit the making of Raiders from the perspective of someone who was actually there — and to hear stories from behind the scenes that you won't find in the finished film.Wolf Kahler has appeared in numerous films and television productions, often playing German military characters, including The Dirty Dozen: The Next Mission, The Bourne Identity, The Remains of the Day, Charlotte Gray, Wonder Woman and The Great Escaper.So, grab your hat, whip and favourite archaeological artefact, and join me for a conversation with Colonel Dietrich himself.This podcast is completely independent and made possible by listener support.

David Robert Mitchell’s The End of Oak Street drops an ordinary family into extraordinary circumstances, forcing them to focus all their energy on surviving— and maybe, just maybe, learning to understand each other along the way. That structure, combined with Oak Street’s Spielbergian spectacle, pointed us toward 2005’s War of the Worlds, which fuses H.G. Wells’ 1898 novel to images and emotions that draw on the attacks of 9/11. How that approach holds up a quarter-century removed from the events that inspired it is up for discussion this week, along with where War of the Worlds falls on the Steven Spielberg Alien-Encounter Continuum, and just how close that sentimental ending comes to ruining the movie entirely. Then in Feedback, a listener, with an assist from Orson Welles, invites us to get galaxy-brained on the nature of homage as it relates to cinema generally and this podcast specifically.

But there's no hard legal rule based on age. What actually matters more than age is fair use, which considers: Purpose — commentary, criticism, education = stronger fair use case Amount used — shorter = safer; a 5-10 second clip for reaction/discussion is generally fine Effect on market — your clip shouldn't replace the original In practice for YouTube specifically: Most major studios have Content ID systems that will flag clips regardless of movie age — even 100-year-old films if the rights holder has registered them Public domain is the real safe zone — films from 1927 or earlier are generally in the public domain in the US. Some films from the 1928-1963 range are also public domain if copyright wasn't renewed Disney, Warner Bros., Universal etc. actively enforce even very old films For a show like TWiST showing a short reaction clip — 5-10 seconds with clear commentary context is the industry standard and rarely gets actioned. But age alone won't protect you. Today's show: *A humanoid robot ran the 100m in 9.39, breaking the human Usain Bolt's world record, while an entire stadium cheered.

This was supposed to be the summer of disclosure. What happened? We were told that the new Steven Spielberg film Disclosure Day would challenge our faith and causes to question the truth contained in the Bible. While Spielberg's film failed to accomplish that lofty goal, the evangelist of the “ancient aliens” gospel continue to promote their view of the creation of the world and the origins of humanity. Joining us to discuss how Christians can use Hollywood's portrayal of non-human intelligences to open serious discussions of the Bible is our regular Iron and Myth panel: Dr. Judd Burton (BurtonBeyond.net), author of Interview With the Giant; Doug Van Dorn (DouglasVanDorn.com), author of Battle for the Bible's Truth: Genesis, Jesus, and the Second Century Plot to Deny the Messiah; and Brian Godawa (Godawa.com), best-selling author of Daniel: Exile in Babylon, the first novel in a trilogy about the life of Daniel.

We discuss the various films Steven Spielberg has released about alien encounters: Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), E.T. The Extra Terrestrial (1982), War of the Worlds (2005), and our inciting film, Disclosure Day. Featuring Mark, Lawrence, Sarahlyn, and Al. How is the new film as "mature Spielberg"? Is it as fun as the older films? Is it too heavy handed? Do the older films hold up? Would YOU go with the aliens? Are we as a society too jaded at this point for the Spielberg magic to fully work?
