The behind the scenes stories of two movies, starting with Naked Gun 33 1/3, a movie that saw franchise director David Zucker opt to step back, and thirtysomething Peter Segal make his directorial debut. The problem? There was a comedy to make, and Segal was struggling to get a connection with his leading man, the late Leslie Nielsen. 2000's Cast Away meanwhile would be a movie that contributed to health problems Tom Hanks has put up with since. It made a volleyball famous, and notably, it's a film that took so long to make, that director Robert Zemeckis shot and released another movie entirely in the midst of Cast Away's production schedule. Stories of both films are told in this episode... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

La sua voce fa ormai parte della nostra vita: Angelo Maggi è Tony Stark, il dottor Cox di Scrubs e il commissario Winchester dei Simpson. Nella sua lunga carriera ha doppiato attori come Robert Downey Jr., Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman, Hugh Grant e molti altri. Con Angelo abbiamo parlato della magia del doppiaggio, di quanto sia cambiato il mestiere negli anni, delle sfide attuali dell'intelligenza artificiale e anche delle polemiche che oggi circondano questo mondo.
Paul spent 6 years in various prisons and not because he put dodgy mushrooms in someones stew, he just had a point of view that upset the religious leaders of his time. But he never seemed to let it get him down. He wrote letters and found ways to be useful. Hope in times like this is rare and worth exploring. Somehow a combination of purpose, secure identity and faith created the sort of hope he was able to draw upon. As Chuck Nolan played by Tom Hanks in the movie Castaway says, you never know what the tide will bring in. Maybe we can all do the same.

This special Thursday edition of OnlyLands is a whirlwind of rants, nostalgia, and wild tangents. The hosts kick off by roasting SitRep's no-show and joking about XRP shilling before launching into a spontaneous promo for the Great American Restoration Tour in Deadwood. From there, it's an anything-goes marathon covering everything from the Mandela Effect, like the group's collective memory of Stouffer's Stove Top Stuffing that apparently never existed, to theories about AI's uncanny ability to rewire reality. The panel swaps hilarious horror stories about dead bodies, foot phobias, and bizarre funeral mishaps, then pivots to darker territory, questioning whether government psyops and state capture are so deeply entrenched that true transparency is impossible. Other highlights include a spirited debate about the Kennedy dynasty, the potential downfall of AI like Grok, Tom Hanks' curious movie choices, and the pervasive idol worship of politicians. With irreverent humor, skeptical deep-dives, and plenty of sidebars, this episode is equal parts stand-up therapy session and a sharp critique of a culture obsessed with TV characters and feel-good narratives.
Americans Are Divided On AIAmericans are divided on the implications of artificial intelligence. According to a recent Gallup poll, 49-percent of U.S. adults surveyed said AI is "just the latest in a long line of technological advancements that humans will learn to use to improve their lives and society." But the polling also found that the other 49-percent of respondents said AI is "very different from the technological advancements that came before, and threatens to harm humans and society." Marcus is totally down, I am being dragged kicking and screaming

Today, sugar cookie making and decorating has become an art form since they hold their shape when baked. Once the cookie is baked, the cookie artist adds colored frosting or icing. Sprinkles, edible glitter, colored sugars, and additional details may be added. A lot of cookie recipes will call for you to bake the cookies until they turn golden-brown. However, sugar cookies are an exception to this rule. They are overbaked if you have baked them until you have noticed the edges have turned to a golden hue...

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 9ú lá de mí Iúil, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1982 bhí fiachas ann timpeall an tír de 800 milliúin punt I gcomparáid leis an bhliain seo chaite. I 1993 bhí clúdaigh sláinte chun ardú mar go raibh VHI chun 6% níos mó a fháil. I 1976 bhí an GAA An Chláir chun teacht ar ais chuig an pháirc thaispeántais in Inis. I 1982 bhí daoine ag meas go mbeadh 5 milliúin punt ag teacht isteach ó fhéile cheoil. Sin The Real Thing le You To Me Are Everything – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1976 Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1977 d'fhág Elvis Costello a bpost mar ríomhchláraitheoir ag Elizabeth Arden Cosmetics chun a bheith mar cheoltóir lánaimseartha. I 2004 chuir David Bowie ceolchoirm ar ceal san Eoraip de bharr go bhfuair sé obráid chroí. Bhí obráid aige an mhí roimhe sa Ghearmáin chun artaire a ghlanadh. Chuir sé 11 ceolchoirm ar ceal chomh maith de bharr gur ghortaigh sé a ghualainn. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh O.J. Simpson I Meiriceá I 1947 agus rugadh aisteoir Tom Hanks I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1956 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 9th of July, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1982: National debt soared £800 million on the last year. 1993: health cover costs to rise as VHI charged extra 6pc. 1976: clare GAA was all set to return to co.clare showgrounds, ennis. 1982: £5 million spin off was expected from music festival. That was The Real Thing with You To Me Are Everything – the biggest song on this day in 1976 Onto music news on this day In 1977 Elvis Costello quit his day job as a computer programmer at Elizabeth Arden Cosmetics to become a full-time musician. 2004 David Bowie was forced to cancel a string of European shows after emergency heart surgery. The 57-year-old singer had an operation last month in Germany, where he was on tour, to treat "an acutely blocked artery". The star's cancellation of 11 European dates last month was originally attributed to a shoulder injury. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – O.J Simpson was born in America in 1947 and actor Tom Hanks was born in America on this day in 1956 and this is some of the stuff he has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

One of the first BIG hits for Tom Hanks! Josh Baskin makes a wish we all do when we were 13, he wishes he were bigger. Thanks to a mysterious Zoltar machine at the carnival he manages to get just that. Waking up as an older version of himself but with the mind and brain of his 13 year old self. This movie has giant pianos, toys,a blossoming romance, a great friendship, and the meaning of growing up. Thank you Penny Marshall!

America is turning 250. And we're throwing a yearlong celebration of the greatest country on Earth. The greatest? Yes. The greatest. We realize that's not a popular thing to say these days. Americans have a way of taking this country for granted: a Gallup poll released earlier this week shows that American pride has reached a new low. And the world at large, which is wealthier and freer than it has ever been in history thanks to American power and largesse, often resents us. We get it. As journalists, we spend most of our time finding problems and exposing them. It's what the job calls for. But if you only focus on the negatives, you get a distorted view of reality. As America hits this milestone birthday, it's worthwhile to take a moment to step back and look closely at where we actually are—and the reality of life in America today compared to other times and places. That reality is pretty spectacular. Could Thomas Jefferson and the men gathered in Philadelphia who wrote down the words that made our world—“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”—ever have imagined what their Declaration of Independence would bring? The Constitution. The end of slavery—and the defeat of Hitler. Astonishing wealth and medical breakthroughs. Silicon Valley. The most powerful military in the world. The moon landing. Hollywood. The Hoover Dam. The Statue of Liberty (a gift from France). Actual liberation (a thing we gave France). Humphrey Bogart and Tom Hanks. Josephine Baker and Beyoncé. Hot dogs. Corn dogs. American Chinese food. American Italian food. The Roosevelts and the Kennedys. The Barrymores and the Fondas. Winston Churchill (his mom was from Brooklyn). The Marshall Plan and Thurgood Marshall. Star Wars. Missile-defense shields. Baseball. Football. The military-industrial complex. Freedom of religion. UFO cults. Television. The internet. The Pill. The Pope. The automobile, the airplane, and AI. Jazz and the blues. The polio vaccine and GLP-1s, the UFC and Dolly Parton. The list goes on because it's really, truly endless. Ours is a country where you can hear 800 languages spoken in Queens, drive two hours and end up among the Amish in Pennsylvania. We are 330 million people, from California to New York Island, gathered together as one. Each of those 330 million will tell you that ours is not a perfect country. But we suspect most of them would agree that their lives would not be possible without it. So for the next 12 months, we're going to toast to our freedoms on the page, on this podcast and in real life. And we're doing it the Free Press way: by delving into all of it—the bad and the good and the great, the strange and the wonderful and the wild. And today—on America's 249th birthday—we're kicking off this yearlong event with none other than Akhil Reed Amar. Akhil has a unique understanding of this country—and our Constitution. Akhil is a Democrat who testified on behalf of Brett Kavanaugh, is a member of The Federalist Society, who is pro-choice but also anti-Roe—and these seeming contradictions make him perfectly suited to answer questions about the political and legal polarization we find ourselves in today. Akhil is a constitutional law professor at Yale and the author of the brilliant book The Words That Made Us: America's Constitutional Conversation, 1760–1840. He also hosts the podcast Amarica's Constitution, and you might recognize his name from his work in The Atlantic. I ask him about the unique history that created our founding document, the state of the country, our political polarization, the American legal system, and what this country means to him.

That Show Hasn't Been Funny In Years: an SNL podcast on Radio Misfits
Nick is joined by music and entertainment journalist Jim Ryan from Forbes.com for a lively trip through Saturday Night Live history. A lifelong fan of the show, Jim counts down his five favorite sketches of all time—starting with Tom Hanks' iconic entry into the Five-Timers Club and ending with a brilliantly unhinged Will Ferrell as Neil Diamond in a VH1 Storytellers parody. Along the way, there's love for Belushi's “Little Chocolate Donuts” ad and, of course, the eternal need for “More Cowbell.” The conversation doubles as a personal rewind, with Jim sharing how he first discovered SNL through late-night VHS binges and eventually found himself interviewing the very legends he grew up watching. From memorable chats with Dan Aykroyd and Robert Smigel to navigating the prickly vibes of Chevy Chase, Jim's stories add an insider's layer to the nostalgia. It's a celebration of the moments that made SNL unforgettable—and a reminder that some sketches never get old, no matter how many times you hit rewind. [EP 130]

Once again Ryanless, Dylan reviews Wes Anderson's The Phoenician Scheme as well as ranking and the filmmaker's filmography.
In this episode of Comic Stripped, Mark Radulich and Evan Bevins dive into Here, discussing how Richard McGuire's formal experiment reshaped the boundaries of graphic storytelling and how Zemeckis' adaptation attempts to interpret that same vision through cinema. The hosts explore whether the emotional arc added in the film enhances or detracts from the original's minimalist power. They also debate the challenges of adapting abstract art into narrative film, and where Here sits in the pantheon of both graphic novels and cinematic experimentation."Here" is a 6-page comic story by Richard McGuire published in 1989, and expanded into a 304-page graphic novel in 2014. The concept of "Here" (in both versions) is to show the same location in space at different points in time, ranging from the primordial past to thousands of years in the future. "Here" has been recognized as a groundbreaking experiment with the formal properties of comics.Here is a 2024 American drama film produced and directed by Robert Zemeckis, who co-wrote the screenplay with Eric Roth, based on the 2014 graphic novel by Richard McGuire. Echoing the source material, the film is told in a nonlinear fashion: using a locked-down or "static shot" technique, the story covers a single plot of land and its inhabitants, from the distant past to the 21st century. During the film, the screen is often subdivided into panes, presenting events from different times simultaneously. The film stars Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Paul Bettany, and Kelly Reilly, with digital de-aging via generative artificial intelligence being used on much of the cast to have them portray their characters over time.Here premiered at the AFI Fest on October 25, 2024, before being theatrically released in the United States by TriStar Pictures through Sony Pictures Releasing on November 1, 2024.[10] The film received generally negative reviews from critics and grossed $15.8 million.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 For the purposes of engaging with tiktok and youtube viewers, what is the best 10min or more segment from this podcast?

Tonight on Triple Feature, Mark Radulich and Mac Kettner embark on a cinematic journey through the bold, genre-bending filmography of the Wachowski Sisters, tracing their artistic evolution from the noir-tight thriller Bound (1996), through the ambitious, time-hopping epic Cloud Atlas (2012), to the sprawling, space-operatic chaos of Jupiter Ascending (2015).We begin with Bound, their directorial debut—a lean, tightly constructed neo-noir starring Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly. While remembered today for its stylized depiction of a lesbian relationship and its feminist reversal of genre tropes, the film also laid the groundwork for the Wachowskis' signature style: sharp visual framing, subversive gender politics, and a meticulous blend of genre tradition and rebellion. Critics at the time praised its confidence and tension, and it's since become a cult classic, often cited for how it queered the crime genre with both sensuality and grit.Fast forward to Cloud Atlas, a deeply ambitious adaptation of David Mitchell's novel. Co-directed with Tom Tykwer, the film features a sprawling ensemble cast—Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugh Grant, Jim Broadbent, Doona Bae—playing multiple interconnected roles across six timelines. Aesthetic maximalism meets spiritual recursion here: past lives, future consequences, and the collapse of individual identity into something larger. The film was divisive, praised for its ambition but criticized for its complex structure and controversial use of makeup. Still, in retrospect, Cloud Atlas is regarded as a turning point—a declaration that the Wachowskis were more interested in ideas than in simple spectacle.Finally, we crash into Jupiter Ascending—a wildly uneven, endlessly fascinating space opera starring Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum. The film throws genetic royalty, flying rollerblades, Eddie Redmayne whisper-shouting, and bureaucratic intergalactic dynasties into a blender. It's messy, no doubt. But it's also unmistakably Wachowskian: rich with metaphor, post-capitalist critique, and gendered power struggles wrapped in ridiculous sci-fi fantasy. It was largely panned upon release, but like much of their work, Jupiter Ascending has developed a loyal fanbase who see past the surface chaos to the emotional and thematic sincerity underneath.Through these three films, we trace the Wachowski Sisters' cinematic transformation: from intimate noir storytellers to high-concept philosophers to unapologetically maximalist dreamers. No matter the box office or Rotten Tomatoes score, their work consistently pushes boundaries—of genre, identity, and cinematic form itself.So buckle in. We're talking legacy, aesthetics, ideas, and all the gloriously weird stuff in between.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59
