[School of Movies 2025] An extremely long-awaited show on a game-changer of a blockbuster movie. The first Pirates film, released in 2003 before Lord of the Rings had completed brought the world many things: A fantabulous extravaganza of practical effects, combined with a surprisingly light smattering of digital VFX that would be leaned into a lot harder later down the line, The notion that the swashbuckler could still do big business (the hidden caveat was that Johnny Depp being strange absolutely must be present) Keira Knightley as a leading lady, Gore Verbinski as a major director, the supposition that audiences would flock to cinematic adaptations of Disney park rides (they won't, just this one. See above regarding Johnny Depp) and Geoffrey Rush as an all-time iconic big-screen presence embodying the most consistently enjoyable pirate of all time. But there's more going on, beneath the frothing surface, a fantastically witty, urbane and efficient script by Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott, one of the greatest scores ever composed (in a shockingly short amount of time) and Orlando Bloom's character actually being quite good, especially when held against Jack Davenport's Lawful Neutral Commodore James Norrington. This was a commission for Lincoln Alpern and features clips from the best audiodrama I've ever composed; Panther Soul, and the first chapter of the brand new Dracula adaptation Castle of the Moon.

Discussing the varying facets of all the queer-coding and homoerotic tension, unpacking the layers of Tom's sociopathy, and expressing distaste for Gwyneth Paltrow as a person (not as an actor, though, because she's got true talent there) are just a few of the topics that get coverage here. Written and directed by Anthony Minghella, The Talented Mr. Ripley stars Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cate Blanchett, Jack Davenport, Philip Seymour Hoffman, James Rebhorn, Sergio Rubini, Philip Baker Hall, and Celia Weston.

Let's just say it: “The Talented Mr. Ripley” is a gay 90's classic with an ensemble of stars. Matt Damon is admittedly great as Tom, and Gwyneth Paltrow is just lovely as Marge, but the supporting cast truly shines. Oscar nominated Jude Law as bathing beauty Dickie, Queen Philip Seymour Hoffman as terminal main character Freddie, a smashing Jack Davenport as Peter and of course, a pre-Tár Cate Blanchett as Best Supporting Meredith. Plus: Patron Saint of the Pod Celia Weston as Aunt Joan at the opera! Was 1999 a cultural apex? We have no idea, but this cast is a reason to say yes.

In our 17th outing for this irregular mini-podcast on our feed, we've been watching the 1998 six-part TV series Ultraviolet (so you don't have to), and we give our thoughts on it. Drop us a line anytime - hello@theDWshow.net Ultraviolet is a 1998 British television series written and directed by Joe Ahearne and starring Jack Davenport, Susannah Harker, Idris Elba, and Philip Quast. The music was composed and performed by Sue Hewitt. The programme was produced by World Productions for Channel 4.

The last of our key figures of Weimar era cinema, as well as the last to leave the country to find sanctuary and prestige in America, Fritz Lang may be the most enduring name silent neophytes would be familiar with. The titanic impact of films like Metropolis (1927) and M (1931) solidified his reputation as a master long before he made an impact shaping American cinema, bringing his expressionistic sensibilities to some of the most important Film Noirs working in the studio system in the 1950s. He's best remembered, however, for the his numerous silent spectacles, the first of which was a two-part adventure serial which survives as the earliest work still existing from the burgeoning director. Die Spinnen (or, The Spiders) was the first step for Lang in an unparalleled career to come, as well as an exemplar of an often overlooked mode of filmmaking which was surging at the same time the Feature Film was coming into prominence as the default iteration of the medium. Lang's early career touches on many of the important touchstones covered throughout our survey of the Weimar period, as well as some additional figures and films we have yet to properly discuss. Join us for this final entry into the sage of 1920s Germany, capping off the foundational history of this important filmic era.

Jack Davenport is one of our best and most recognisable actors. His credits include: The Pirates of Caribbean, The Talented Mr Ripley, This Life and most recently, Ten Percent.He talks freely about staying centred while acting in a major production, what it was like growing up with film stars dropping in, and why he refuses to have anything to do with social media.

The most prolific director to make his way over to America after breaking ground and blazing trails in Germany was none other than Ernst Lubitsch—the legendary comic filmmaker who made Garbo laugh in Ninotchka (1939) and Hitler the fool in eviscerative satire To Be or Not to Be (1942). His signature elegance and wit led to an ingenious moniker by which many recognize him still today: the famed "Lubitsch Touch," an at once inexplicable phenomena of his comic mastery which continues to set him apart even from those who studied arduously under his tutelage. But how exactly did Lubitsch come to be this respected emigre of sensitivity and taste? Was he always a comic master, or did he have to work his way up the ranks and establish himself within a burgeoning post-war industry which favored artistry and expressionism over bawdy bedroom humor and slapstick antics? Was Lubitsch respected in his home country before moving to America, or did his prestige simply manifest as a result of foreign bohemian charm? The legacy of Lubitsch is far more than his iconic American career, and through the lens of a nearly lost Egyptian epic of his, we're able to explore and discuss the multifaceted as continuously adaptive career of one of the screen's most legendary directorial voices.

Some of the most enduring images of film ever conjured—not just of the Silent Era, but of all time— appear as a result of the vivid expressionism manifested in the oeuvre of Weimar Germany's leading director, F.W. Murnau. The man who's name is now associated some of the most important restoration efforts ever undertaken, had both an incalculable impact upon the filmmaking world in his time, as well as into today. Even if you've never seen a Murnau film before, it's almost impossible to not have come across some of the iconic imagery sprung from his brief yet unrivaled time working in the industry. His name is associated with some of the most acknowledged greatest films of all time, working in both Germany and America in the 1920s, and pioneering the medium with every new film. This episode marks our foray into the important directors of Weimar Cinema, the individuals with an even greater prestige than the actors with whom they worked so consistently. Murnau may have been the most influential of them all, despite an untimely end to his life and career in tandem with the foreclosure of Silent Film as a whole.The Life and Career of F.W. Murnau: 00:00-45:58Der brennende Acker/The Burning Soil (1922): 45:59-1:06:43Many thanks to Graham Austin and Jack Davenport for the creation of our beautiful logo art and theme music respectively.

During the era of the Weimar Republic, there was famously a known movement advocating for the acceptance and normalization of homesexual people within society. Weimar Germany had a thriving gay scene, but one which still faced oppression and prejudice thanks to the tyrannical legal codes of the previous regime, which were not unlike the laws implemented elsewhere in the world. A brief window of free speech allowed advocates to create films about this subject, most of which were later censored and destroyed. One that survived was Anders als die Andern, a polemic starring German matinee idol Conrad Veidt, just a year before his career would take off staring as the terrifying somnambulant Cesare in Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari. Veidt's career saw him starring in some of the most popular and celebrated films of the day, before eventually being forced to make a decision to leave or stay when Hitler and the Nazis seized power in 1933. Listen as we explore Veidt's expansive career and legacy, while also diving in to the progress politics and representations of a pioneering LGBTQ text which nearly didn't survive to today.As a bonus, Stephen discusses his thoughts on the German Expressionist classic Der letzte Mann (The Last Laugh, 1924), after watching it for the first time in light of last week's discussion. This pillar of Weimar Cinema remains one of the chief text's in understanding the era, and should not be missed in any judicious overview.Stephen discusses Der letzte Mann (1924): 00:00-16:51Conradt Veidt Biography: 16:52-33:03Anders als di Andern (Different from the Others, 1919): 33:03-1:01:09Many thanks to Graham Austin and Jack Davenport for the creation of our beautiful logo art and theme music respectively.

The cinema of Weimar Germany was one that revolved around a key set of names throughout its brief tenure. Directors and performers were the shining lights of the industry, cementing the success of the era's biggest pictures and then redoubling on that prestige by teaming up again for an even more exceptional endeavor. One of the more celebrated personalities from this era was Emil Jannings, starring in more enduring classics of the German Expressionist movement than any other performer, as well as making a splash in America by becoming the first ever recipient of the Best Actor Oscar.In 1920, Jannings star was quickly on the rise. With a series of costume drama successes behind him, he continued making lavish star vehicles, including the nascent science fiction film, Algol: Tragödie der Macht. The film, which was once believed lost, returned after rigorous restoration efforts in the 2000s, surviving now as an expressionist contemporary of Caligari and Metropolis. See how measures up as another example of what Siegfried Kracauer called Germany's "tyrant films," and how Jannings endures as one of the exemplifying actors of the era.Many thanks to Graham Austin and Jack Davenport for the creation of our beautiful logo art and theme music respectively.

Second only to the star-spangled system of 1920s Hollywood, the German industry during the days of the Weimar Republic is perhaps the most widely recognized of the silent era. This is thanks in large part to the continued proliferation of the German Expressionist movement, a highly avant-garde and visually stylistic period which became an influential bedrock for many latter genres of cinema and distinct filmic classics. This overview of the German Expressionist movement, briefly covering its high points and enduring successes, will serve as in introduction to a historical survey of Weimar Cinema as a whole, as we kick off a new season exploring the iconic names and faces of the era which lent themselves to so many of the most recognizable Silent Films we still know today. From Morn to Midnight (originally, Von morgens bis mitternachts), serves as the perfect introductory piece to German Expressionism, with an incredibly distinct visual rendering comparable only to that of the pioneering film of the era, Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari. The nightmare-like vision of a twisted world as seen through artistically oblique backdrops and makeup was a semi-common means of conveying a sense of destitution and decay in the aftermath of Germany's defeat in the First World War. Listen as we dissect the distinctive qualities of this visually arresting record of Silent Film's most recognizable movement, and measure its survival as a means of preserving the integral artistic history of the time. A Brief History of Weimar Cinema and German Expressionism: 00:00 - 44:08 Von morgens bis mitternachts/From Morn to Midnight: 44:08 - 1:03:53Many thanks to Graham Austin and Jack Davenport for the creation of our beautiful logo art and theme music respectively.

The Talented Mr. Ripley is one of a few movies that just barely didn't make our first 18, so we were delighted to learn the talented Bridget Todd wanted to give it a shout-out. The second motion picture adaptation of the novel by Patricia Highsmith, Ripley was released just under the wire on December 25th, going on to earn $127 million on a $40 million budget. The film stars Matt Damon, a pre-Goop Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Cate Blanchett, Jack Davenport, and James Rebhorn, with music by Gabriel Yared and adapted and directed by Anthony Minghella, just a couple years of his big Oscar haul for The English Patient. Bridget joins John and Joey to argue that, far from being merely an incredible period-specific psychodrama, Ripley has a lot to say about the ways the world was changing in 1999, and is just as relevant as it was 23 years ago...and 70 some-odd years since Tom Ripley first graced the page.

The earliest surviving Technicolor feature film persists in cultural heritage not only for its legacy as a vibrant and awe-inspiring pioneer of technical innovation, but also as a starring vehicle for the sumptuous Chinese-American actress Anna May Wong, who appeared in her first starring role as the tragically lovestruck teenager in this retelling of the Madame Butterfly story. There are surprising observations to be made at every turn, from the inherent orientalist flavoring of story to the awe-inspiring visual direction which so beautifully survives today in spite of considerable mystery regarding its supposed rediscovery. Also discussed is a tour of the programming seen at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival, where cohost David saw this film and a number of others, including titles from Lubitsch, DeMille, and King Vidor. Tune in as we evaluate the importance of such restorations and screenings as allowed by these festivals, and the unique experiences being curated for these special screenings we hope can be made more available as the interest in celebrating Silent Film only grows from here.

With so much early history unrecorded, the "firsts" of cinema remain difficult to definitively establish. It is rare, then, that a film comes along which can tote such a title without further question. The oldest surviving American Feature Film, and what is believed to be the first feature-length Shakespeare adaptation, is a condensed retelling of the Machiavellian Richard III. To provide the requisite context for this historic cinematic work, we go over the real life history of the former King of England, the unique qualities and appeals of the original play, and how this silent variation engages with a text known for its poetic wordplay and witty asides. Preceding that is a discussion on the various Silent Films featured on the recently released Sight and Sound poll of the greatest films of all time. We look at which films still made the cut in the ten years since the last poll, and evaluate the merit of such lists while considering how much appreciation is represented for the first forty years of cinematic history. Silent Cinema in the 2022 Sight and Sound Poll: 00:00 - 27:13Feature Films, Shakespeare, and Richard III (1912) : 27:13 -1:12:14Many thanks to Graham Austin and Jack Davenport for the creation of our beautiful logo art and theme music respectively.

Oscar Micheaux was a pioneering African American filmmaker whose earliest surviving feature, Within Our Gates, grapples directly with the external and internal conflicts uniquely positioned against the Black community during the Jim Crow era of American History. For Micheaux, these struggles were contemporary, but even today, the themes and truths of his films resonate, as the historical oppression which saw the limitation of his opportunities as a filmmaker also sought to erase his legacy as a whole, were it not for the enduring efforts of his entrepreneurial ambitions. Let Micheaux's legacy be the benchmark for our endeavor here, the flagship film representing our cause to reframe the narrative of film history through the resurrection of nearly lost works, in the same way Micheaux has stood as the paragon of early American race films, and as an icon of pioneering Black filmmakers at large.Many thanks to Graham Austin and Jack Davenport for the creation of our beautiful logo art and theme music respectively.

Our inaugural journey into the vault of early film history sees Stephen and David taking a general survey of Silent Movies as a whole and the way in which their legacy is told and preserved. We go over the early record of how film came to be, our own personal exposure to and discovery of Silent Film, and the many ways films become lost in the first place. Many thanks to Graham Austin and Jack Davenport for the creation of our beautiful logo art and theme music respectively.

A short time ago, in a podcast right on your rss feed...Bro and Murph team up with the music meister himself: Jack! Jack's music mastery means little when we talk about everything but that!

We take a refresher on licensed fighting games before tackling the final boss of the episode.Our game of the week is a Star Wars fighting game with a reputation as ugly as its being. We spend just as much time talking about the expanded universe and other Star Wars missteps almost as much as we talk about the game itself.

The Plot Podcast during Hallowe'en Month at When It Was Cool goes from tongue in cheek to deadly earnest. We're joined by Odessa Steps Magazine contributor Justin Jones (@xPrimusPilusx) to discuss one of his all-time favorite TV shows, 1998's Ultraviolent. The British show, written and directed by Joe Aherne, stars Jack Davenport, Susannah Harker, Philip Quast and a young Idris Elba as a team trying to fight the good fight against … well, they call them Code V's or leeches, but those monsters who want our blood to stay alive. We discuss how we both found the show here in the early 2000s, the premise of the show, and what we love about it. Since there are only six episodes, we discuss each one in detail, so spoilers ahoy. We rave about the quality writing and acting on display, some of our favorite scenes and more. It's a Valentine in October to a program I often describe as “The X-Files and Blade fight Vampires.”

As part of When It Was Cool's Hallowe'en Month, the pod looks at some of its favorite 1960s spy TV shows and what happens when they run into some creatures. Or do they? First, we have the Man from UNCLE and the second season episode “The Bat Cave Affair.” What is THRUSH's “Operation Night Flight” and why does the agent behind it, Count Zark (Martin Landau using his Bela Lugosi impression 30 years before Ed Wood), seem to be dressed as a certain Transylvanian nobleman? Can Napoleon Solo (Robert Vaughn) and Ilya Kuryakin) stop him from grounding the world's aircrafts? Next up, it's the Avengers and the fifth season episode "Never Never Say Die.” When a man hit by a car doesn't stay dead, it's up to Steed (Patrick Macnee) and Mrs. Peel (Diana Rigg) to find out how and what does it have to do with the secret government lab run by Professor Frank N. Stone (Christopher Lee)? Finally, we go full on spy spoof with Get Smart and the first season episode “Weekend Vampire” (not to be confused with the band of a very similar name). When CONTROL agents are being found dead with two puncture marks on their necks, Max (Don Adams) and 99 (Barbara Feldon) are sent to investigate the disgraced scientist Dr. Drago (Martin Kosleck). We'll be back soon with a slightly more serious look at spies and the undead in the 1999 British TV show Ultraviolet starring Jack Davenport, Susannah Harker and a young Idris Elba. It's The X-Files plus Blade vs Vampires in the next episode of the podcast.

This "Paltrocast" features Darren's interviews with "America's Got Talent" favorite Darci Lynne and "Ten Percent" stars Jack Davenport, Maggie Steed and Prasanna Puwanarajah. Theme song by Steve Schiltz. Thanks for listening!

The great documentarian Frederick Wiseman is being celebrated this month at Sydney Film Festival & ACMI with a retrospective of ten seminal films which chronicle American life and institutions. 92 year old Wiseman is our guest. British actor Jack Davenport who appears in series' like The Morning Show, 90s cult classic This Life, and films including the Pirates of the Caribbean series, talks about his role as the lead character in Ten Percent, a UK remake of the French hit Call my Agent, and filmmaker Mary Zournazi traces the history and her own connection to a Greek music born of exile in her documentary My Rembetika Blues.

Jack was lucky enough to co-star in 'SMASH' with our own Michael Riedel. Jack has a new comedy on the Sundance channel , 10% is about the funny side of human frailty.

On this episode, guest Jack Davenport (the man behind our great theme music) brings Calvin and Stephen to the final frontier. That's right, it's space monster time! Our featured films — The Mysterians (1957) and The X from Outer Space (1967) — give a window into when kaiju filmmakers looked to the stars and in doing so altered the central metaphor of the genre. This time, Stephen explains how these films articulate paranoia around the future before being joined by Calvin and Jack for a wide reaching discussion of both films.
