Today on part one of the latest episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast we are speaking with musician, producer, entrepreneur and much more Peter Rafelson. Son of director and producer Bob Rafelson & production designer Toby Carr, Peter spent this episode really digging deep and getting into some intense as well as humorous stuff about growing up the son of an easy rider. Or is that a member of The Monkees? No matter. We get into it all and then some on this episode. Fans of the sixties and seventies counterculture will know the work of Bob Rafelson for his associations with very specific touchstones of American film and television thar forever changed the course of the entertainment industry. From The Monkees to Easy Rider, from Five Easy Pieces to The Last Picture Show, Bob Rafelson along with partners Bert Schneider & Steve Blauner ushered in a new wave of independent film in Hollywood that smashed convention as well as the studio system. Along with writer, star and co-hort Jack Nicholson, Bob Rafelson directed films like The King of Marvin Gardens, Stay Hungry, The Postman Always Rings Twice and many more. Bob Rafelson was in the epicenter of films that brought an independent streak to a staid industry and never looked back. Our conversation with Peter centered around the growing up too fast where he learned about drugs, revolution and the FBI is one for the ages. Along the way we talk about Madonna, Abbie Hoffman, The Black Panthers, Dennis Hopper, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sally Field, how he ended up with the Monkees instruments in his bedroom and the death of his sister under troubling circumstances. Ladies and gentlemen, we bring you part one of the latest episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast with guest, Peter Rafelson. Take a listen.
A Few Good Men is a powerhouse military courtroom drama directed by Rob Reiner, starring Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, and Demi Moore. The story follows hotshot Navy lawyer Lt. Daniel Kaffee (Cruise), who's known for cutting plea deals rather than seeing the inside of a courtroom. But when two Marines are accused of murdering a fellow Marine at Guantanamo Bay, Kaffee is pushed into a case that's way bigger than he's used to. As he digs deeper—alongside Lt. Cmdr. JoAnne Galloway (Moore)—they uncover a dangerous code of silence, a culture of obedience, and the possible involvement of high-ranking officials, including the fearsome Col. Nathan R. Jessup (Nicholson). The tension builds to a legendary courtroom showdown that gave us one of the most iconic movie lines of the '90s: "You can't handle the truth!" The film is a blend of sharp dialogue, big personalities, and moral complexity, making it one of the defining dramas of the early '90s. Cruise brings his signature intensity, while Nicholson delivers a performance that's equal parts terrifying and mesmerizing. The cast also includes Kevin Bacon, Kiefer Sutherland, and Cuba Gooding Jr. in a small but memorable role. A Few Good Men doesn't just serve military courtroom drama—it dives into themes of honor, duty, and justice in a rigid chain-of-command environment. It's exactly the kind of film Dave, Rob, and Kurt can sink their teeth into on Totally 80's and 90's Recall, packed with quotable lines, powerhouse performances, and that unmistakable early-'90s prestige film vibe.

Send us a textUna de las películas más exitosas de todos los tiempos será el punto de partida de un complejo relato que aborda los límites de la locura y las complejidades del diagnóstico en siquiatría. En paralelo revisaremos la historia de uno de los estudios más audaces del siglo XX, uno que remeció a toda una disciplina y desencadenó cambios profundos en ella. Hoy, gracias a una investigación periodística, sabemos que ese estudio tiene importantes grietas y tal vez su historia es más potente que sus datos.Support the show
There's a line in the film “A Few Good Men” where Tom Cruise's character, a lawyer, demands the “truth” of Jack Nicholson, a General who's on a witness stand.“The TRUTH!?” Nicholson bellows. “YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!”Feedback. It's a bastardized concept in society today and that's a shame. Because feedback is a privilege. Feedback - a neutrally delivered, radically honest perspective - enables growth, progress and change.No one sees themselves clearly, really. It takes outside perspective for any of us to truly see ourselves as others see us. To grow. To do better. To BE better.But what happens when people SAY they're open for feedback, and they're not? What happens when people weaponize the language of personal growth and use feedback as a cudgel?That's what I talk about this week. In a world where what passes for radical honesty usually means someone is just letting things fly outta their pie-hole without much care for others, it's time for radically authentic conversation. Conscious communication is simple, but often isn't easy. That's why Cathy Brooks created Talk, Unleashed – a weekly podcast of radically honest conversation about — everything. Whether her own musings or in conversation with industry leaders, each episode invites curiosity. Curiosity not about what people do, but why they do it. Who they are and what makes them tick. It's about digging underneath to reveal the thing that is most true - that we are more alike than we are not. A mix of solo episodes where Cathy shares her insights and experience or Cathy engaged in conversation with fascinating humans doing amazing things. No matter the format - it's unvarnished, radically honest and entirely unleashed. This podcast compliments Unleashed Leadership, the coaching business through which Cathy works with symphony orchestras, corporate clients, and individuals to help them unleash and untether their leadership and connect with others in a way that truly engages.#feedback #truth #brutalhonesty #radicalhonesty #consciouscommunication #leadership #Conversation #connection #TalkUnleashed #fiercecompassion #UnleashedConversation #UnleashedLeadership #FixYourEndofTheLeash
Kirk Douglas and Michael Douglas were the driving force behind bringing "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" to the stage and screen. Ken Kesey's popular novel is brought to life on the screen starring Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher. One of the greatest movies of the 1970's is highlighted in The Actors Room podcast hosted by Jeff Torowski.
The Scariest Movie EVER Made? Well upon its initial release forty-five years ago, not many critics saw it that way INCLUDING the author of the original novel which this film was based on, Stephen King. But over time, this psychological thriller directed by the late, great Stanley Kubrick (2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Eyes Wide Shut) has garnerned not only a devoted following but a never-ending stream of speculation about what it meant. Many love it for the memorable main lead performance by Oscar-winner Jack Nicholson (Chinatown, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, Batman) as Jack Torrance, an aspiring writer whose family ends up situated at a VERY remote location known as the Overlook Hotel....he's an aspiring writer but as the winter progresses, he starts to lose his mind. Also with him are his beleaguered wife Wendy played by the late, great Shelley Duvall (Popeye, 3 Women, Roxanne) and their young son Danny (Danny Lloyd) who has begun to experience a sort of psychic power known as.....THE SHINING. :o Also co-starring Scatman Crothers, Joe Turkel, and Barry Nelson, this horror classic has launched spin-off documentaries, weak imitations, and loads of memes - let's head to the Overlook Hotel!

On this week's episode we look at a film with big stars and a renowned director, the notoriously fizzled at the box office. Director Mike Nichols tries his hand at making a slapstick comedy and brings Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty, and Stockard Channing along for the ride in 1975's The Fortune. LAMBcast host Richard Kirkham (whose favorite movie year is 1975) joins us for our main discussion. We also have some great movie recommendations and a fun round of trivia.

Tom Fleischman: Cinema, Scorsese & the Art of the MixIn this immersive episode, Steve Otis Gunn chats with Oscar-winning re-recording mixer Tom Fleischman to uncover the nuanced, behind-the-scenes craft of cinematic sound. With decades of experience, Tom offers a rare glimpse into the audio side of filmmaking, where emotion is built not just through visuals, but through every carefully chosen sound.From his early days splicing tape by ear to mixing iconic films like Goodfellas, School of Rock, and The Irishman, Tom shares personal stories and surprising insights from his legendary collaborations, especially with Martin Scorsese. The conversation spans the evolution of sound editing, the intuition behind great mixes, and why sometimes the hardest thing to get right is a single vowel.Highlights include:The challenges and creativity behind mixing films such as Hugo and Gangs of New YorkWhat a re-recording mixer actually does—and why it's more grit than glamourThe mystery and magic of cataloguing forgotten sound effectsBehind-the-scenes tales from awards season, including rejection and red carpet dramaThe art of “invisible” mixing and why audio is the ultimate cinematic illusionPacked with anecdotes—like Daniel Day-Lewis bringing intensity and precision even to his ADR sessions, and Jack Nicholson's Oscar-night wisdom—this episode is a must-listen for filmmakers, sound enthusiasts, or anyone curious about how the soul of a film is often found in what we hear.

In this episode of the show we are beginning, albeit a little bit prematurely, our June excursion into the cinema of Robert Altman who would be celebrating his 100th birthday if he was still with us. And we are starting off with his anti-western McCabe and Mrs Miller. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how Altman fits into the landscape of New Hollywood, how he set out to deconstruct the form and bury the star under his aesthetic and perhaps the reasons why he did so. We also talk about the chemistry (or, ironically, lack thereof) between Warren Beatty and Julie Christie, the idea of watching a movie through a t-shirt and hiding a cultural commentary in a sparse and meandering deconstructed western. Finally, we lose our wits trying to figure out how to pronounce Warren Beatty's last name and we also, if you stay tuned long enough, end up sharing our Jack Nicholson impressions... despite the fact he was not in the movie at all.

For the final chapter of Disaster Month, we're beaming up to one of the weirdest alien invasion movies ever: Mars Attacks! (1996). This star-studded satire directed by Tim Burton packs in lasers, skeletons, and Slim Whitman—all with a wink to 1950s B-movies. But… does it actually hold together, or is it just chaos in a red-and-green package?We break down the over-the-top performances, bizarre plot choices, and the ridiculous number of celebrity cameos (Jack Nicholson, twice?!). Plus, we debate if the film is missing something essential, like, say, actual jokes. Is Mars Attacks! too scattered to be a true classic, or is it exactly the kind of weird that makes it unforgettable?
BAM! THWACK! BOKKO!!!!! Joining us in our dank dark cave this week is the excellent writer and podcaster Tim Worthington, who has taken us back to 1989 when super-hero films were a bit of a treat, and so was Tim Burton.

“Here's Johnny!” Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting duo – Ian & Liam (with Megs checking in later once she arrives from Florida) – as we snowmobile into the Overlook Hotel for our 280th episode (B-Tech Kev's not here. Doesn't he get that all work and no play make Kev a dull boy?) and crack open Stanley Kubrick's psychological horror masterpiece The Shining (1980). We're trading ditching the swim team for haunted hallways and axing our way through one of the most iconic films ever made as we discuss: Liam talks far too much about a film that we're not reviewing today (but what else is new?). We correct a few political misnomers from last week, because facts matter—especially when ghosts are listening. Ian talks about the passing of George Wendt; Liam, not to be outdone, imagines the hypothetical passing of one of his heroes. Megs joins us and delivers a full-on mini-episode as she trials her new sidepod and recounts her real-life triumph over the forces of nature. We debate whether Jack Nicholson is giving a genuinely strong performance… or just letting his charisma do all the heavy lifting. Is there causality in this story—or is it all just vibes? And if there isn't, shouldn't that break the movie? Ian reveals who he's in good company with on this one—and who he most certainly is not. Ian also explains the origin of the iconic “Here's Johnny!” line to, well… everyone. Ian asks if this movie is trying to cram two different horror movies into one Liam swears this isn't a horror movie and the boys try to come up with a list of what makes a film a horror film Become a Patron of this podcast and support the BFE at https://www.patreon.com/BFE.

In some of Hollywood's best-loved movies, Jack Nicholson played jokers, sailors, inmates – even the Devil himself. But he never played by the rules. He allegedly mooned a crowd of thousands at a basketball game. His bedroom kinks were laid bare in the papers. He fought the MPAA and the LAPD. And in 1994, he attempted to establish his own set of rules when he attacked an idling Mercedes-Benz with a two-iron. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including sexual assault and child sexual abuse.

HR 4 - Meghan Ottolini and Justin Turpin start the final hour with the Celtics' chances at a Game 6 victory and more criticism for Jayson Tatum. Its almost like even with a torn Achilles the dislike for Tatum remains a fixture for talking heads. Then, Arcand Fire dives into the rest of the NBA playoffs and some interesting notes from Caleb Williams and his father about his draft process in 2024. And, the stars will be out in New York including Timothee Chalamet who Mego believes is this generation's Jack Nicholson in terms of celebrity fans.
Imagine a movie so perfectly crafted that Jack Nicholson improvs half his scenes, Leonardo DiCaprio plays a character in constant panic, and Mark Wahlberg steals the entire film in under 10 minutes of screen time.

Sean and Amanda return to continue their yearlong project of listing the 25 best movies of the 21st century so far. They discuss Nancy Meyers's ‘Something's Gotta Give,' the 2003 romantic comedy starring Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson, which featured some of the most realized and developed characters of the century. They highlight and celebrate Meyers's auteurist vision, argue why it's the last great studio romantic comedy, and remember one of Jack Nicholson's final performances that featured an incredible balance of his powerful charisma and uglier, stranger side.
