Jarl Friis-Mikkelsen mener sagtens, han kan lande 10 store interview med verdensstjerner fra øverste hylde. Det er i hvert fald den opgave, han rejser til Los Angeles med. Øverst på listen står Jack Nicholson og Michael Jackson. Men det går ikke helt så let, som han har forventet. Derover har de aldrig hørt om Jarlen, og alle agenterne siger bare nej. Den ene måned tager den næste uden succes. Endelig får han overtalt Cher, og hun hjælper ham med adgang til andre navne. Snart sidder han med Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Arnold Schwarzenegger og Leonard Cohen. Især den sidste gør indtryk.

Movie of the Year: 2006The Departed (feat Adam Kempenaar!)Inside The Departed Podcast EpisodeWelcome to The Departed podcast episode of Movie of the Year: 2006, where the Taste Buds take on Martin Scorsese's Boston crime epic. Ryan, Mike, and Greg welcome Filmspotting co-host Adam Kempenaar to the panel. Together, they dig into a film about cops, crooks, and the men who raise them. Moreover, the conversation covers fatherhood, gender, and the rough racial politics of Scorsese's South Boston. Additionally, the crew delivers a Career Retrospective on Leonardo DiCaprio, the jittery star at the film's center. Ultimately, the episode asks whether this Best Picture winner still earns its reputation twenty years later.New to the season? Start with our Movie of the Year 2006 intro episode, then catch up on the full 2006 bracket reveal.About the Film: The Departed (2006)The Departed opened in theaters on October 6, 2006. Martin Scorsese directed, and William Monahan wrote the screenplay. Specifically, Monahan adapted the 2002 Hong Kong thriller Infernal Affairs. The story follows two moles working on opposite sides of the law. Leonardo DiCaprio plays Billy Costigan, an undercover cop inside the Irish mob. Meanwhile, Matt Damon plays Colin Sullivan, a mob plant rising through the Massachusetts State Police. Jack Nicholson rules over both men as crime boss Frank Costello. Notably, the supporting cast includes Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen, Vera Farmiga, Alec Baldwin, and Ray Winstone.The film became a major critical and commercial hit, earning more than $290 million worldwide. In addition, it won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay. Scorsese finally won Best Director after five earlier nominations. Thelma Schoonmaker also took home Best Film Editing. Roger Ebert gave the film four stars in his original RogerEbert.com review. For full cast and crew credits, visit The Departed on IMDb.Guest Panelist: Adam KempenaarAdam Kempenaar co-founded Filmspotting, one of the longest-running film podcasts in the medium. He launched the show in March 2005 with Sam Van Hallgren. Since 2012, he has co-hosted alongside Josh Larsen. Filmspotting has now passed 1,000 episodes and has also aired on WBEZ in Chicago. Furthermore, Kempenaar teaches at the University of Iowa, where his courses cover film criticism, sports and cinema, and podcasting. He is also a longtime member of the Chicago Film Critics Association. Additionally, he consults on marketing and content for the Chicago International Film Festival. For twenty years, he also led marketing and content for the Chicago Blackhawks. In 2025, he and Larsen celebrated two decades of the show with the first Filmspotting Fest in Chicago. Notably, Filmspotting was barely a year old when The Departed opened. That timing gives Adam a rare firsthand view of the 2006 film conversation. Find his reviews, Top 5 lists, and Sacred Cow episodes at filmspotting.net.Father Figures on The Departed PodcastFathers haunt every corner of The Departed. Costello grooms young Colin Sullivan from childhood, handing him groceries and shaping his loyalty. By contrast, Billy Costigan grows up with a dead father and a family split between Southie and the North Shore. Captain Queenan, played by Martin Sheen, becomes the steady parent Billy never had. Consequently, Queenan's death lands as the emotional turning point of the film. Meanwhile, Sullivan chases approval from every authority figure around him, from Costello to Ellerby. The film even closes on an open paternity question surrounding Madolyn's pregnancy.The panel digs into how Monahan's script treats the police and the mob as rival families. In practice, both institutions recruit sons, reward obedience, and punish betrayal. Above all, the Taste Buds and Adam ask which surrogate father does the most damage.Gender and Masculinity in The DepartedThe Departed is a crowded film about men performing toughness. Cops trade insults about each other's mothers, sexuality, and manhood. Costello, meanwhile, treats women as property and punchlines. Against that backdrop, Vera Farmiga's Madolyn stands nearly alone as a major female character. Interestingly, Monahan built her from two separate women in Infernal Affairs, one for each mole. As a result, she becomes the hinge between Billy and Colin.That choice raises real questions for the panel. Is Madolyn a fully realized character, or a device that links the two leads? Additionally, the crew considers how Sullivan's private failures mirror his fractured identity. The conversation also weighs whether Scorsese critiques this macho culture or simply enjoys it.Boston, Race, and Tribalism: The Departed 2006 Podcast DebateScorsese sets his story in South Boston, a neighborhood with a fraught racial history. Costello opens the film with a monologue about the Irish, the Italians, and Black Bostonians. Throughout the film, characters toss slurs as casually as they throw punches. Nevertheless, the panel debates what the film actually says about that bigotry.On one hand, the dialogue captures the tribal loyalties behind decades of city tension, including the 1970s busing crisis. On the other hand, some viewers argue the film treats ethnic insults as local color rather than subject. Furthermore, Costello's crew and the state police both run on in-group loyalty and suspicion of outsiders. Therefore, that tribalism powers the entire mole plot. The Taste Buds and Adam ask whether the film interrogates Boston's prejudices or leans on them for authenticity.Career Retrospective: Leonardo DiCaprioThis episode also features a Career Retrospective on Leonardo DiCaprio. The Departed marked his third collaboration with Scorsese, following Gangs of New York and The Aviator. Notably, 2006 was a banner year for him, and Blood Diamond earned him a Best Actor nomination that season. His early work stretches from This Boy's Life and What's Eating Gilbert Grape to Titanic. Later highlights include Catch Me If You Can, Inception, Django Unchained, and The Wolf of Wall Street.DiCaprio finally won the Best Actor Oscar for The Revenant. Since then, he has worked again with Quentin Tarantino, Scorsese, and Paul Thomas Anderson. In total, he has made six feature films with Scorsese. The panel walks through the full filmography, from child actor to elder statesman. However, you will have to listen to hear how the Taste Buds and Adam rank his work.Why The Departed Still MattersThe Departed endures as the film that finally won Scorsese his Oscar. Moreover, it proved a Hollywood remake of a Hong Kong crime film could stand on its own. Its double-agent structure still echoes through crime thrillers and prestige television. Additionally, its performances remain endlessly quotable, especially Wahlberg's profane Sergeant Dignam. Alongside Mystic River and Gone Baby Gone, it helped define the Boston crime cycle of the 2000s. Ultimately, the film still sparks arguments about Scorsese's best work. Those arguments make it perfect bracket material for Movie of the Year: 2006.Related Episodes from Movie of the Year: 2006Movie of the Year 2006: Intro Part 1The Movies of 2006 Bracket Reveal2006 Mixtape Part IBrowse every Movie of the Year episodeFAQ: The Departed Podcast and FilmWhat is The Departed podcast episode about?This Movie of the Year: 2006 episode features the Taste Buds and guest Adam Kempenaar discussing Martin Scorsese's The Departed.

Message Dan and MikeDan finally crosses a massive blind spot off his list in this Classic Films Dan Hasn't Seen Yet deep dive: Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill, seen here as The Whole Bloody Affair, the rare combined cut stitching Volumes One and Two into the single epic Tarantino always intended. We dig into why it took over two decades to get this version cleared for release, the rights battle that held it up, and the extended anime sequence and restored footage that separate it from the theatrical cuts.Mike breaks down the film's mountain of homages to 1970s kung fu and Japanese cinema, the casting history that almost gave us Warren Beatty, Jack Nicholson, Kurt Russell, or Mickey Rourke as Bill (and why Kevin Costner turning it down worked out great for Open Range fans), and the wild behind-the-scenes trivia, including Uma Thurman's injured stunt double who hid it to avoid getting cut from the film, and the real sword-and-baseball stunt that wasn't a visual effect at all.We talk Robert Richardson's cinematography, the late Sally Menke's editing, the RZA and Robert Rodriguez score, and Sonny Chiba's legendary dual role. Dan and Mike also get into the writing itself, arguing Tarantino's screenwriting doesn't get enough credit next to his directing, and land on the same verdict: this is an epic on the level of The Godfather, and an absolute must-see.Plus, a shoutout to The Church of Tarantino podcast, and a first look at what's coming for Halloween Fest on the Oh Brother Podcast.Support the showOh Brother Podcast:Support the Show!

De la contre-culture aux idées qui dérangent, les Inrockuptibles n'ont jamais cessé de déplacer les lignes. Pour célébrer les 40 ans du mensuel, un livre d'archives revient sur quatre décennies de rencontres cultes, d'interviews inédites et de combats engagés. Sa directrice de la rédaction, Carole Boinet, replonge dans cette histoire, revendique un magazine « frondeur » et défend plus que jamais son rôle de vigie culturelle et politique. RFI : Le livre des 40 ans des Inrockuptibles s'ouvre sur les Smiths. Pourquoi eux ? Carole Boinet : Parce que les Smiths sont le groupe phare des années 80, mais aussi l'une des formations  emblématiques des Inrocks, nés quasiment au même moment. En 1986 sort The Queen Is Dead, ils nous accordent une grande interview qui figure dans ce livre d'archives. Les Smiths incarnent une certaine idée du rock selon les Inrocks : mélodieux, romantique, vulnérable, loin des groupes virilistes et masculinistes. Des Smiths à Spike Lee, de Björk à Jack Nicholson, les Inrocks ont depuis largement débordé la musique : cinéma, littérature, art, politique… Jusqu'où élargir le terrain de jeu sans perdre l'ADN ? L'ADN est déjà dans le nom Inrockuptibles, avec cette idée d'incorruptibilité, de fronde, d'audace. On s'intéresse aux idées et à la culture capables de secouer, de faire bouger les lignes, parfois de bouleverser une vie ou une trajectoire. L'enjeu n'est pas de couvrir des secteurs culturels, mais de défendre un état d'esprit, c'est a dire, le monde Inrockuptible. « Quarante ans d'une autre culture », proclame la couverture de ce livre de 496 pages. C'est quoi, cette autre culture ? C'est une culture qui ne s'assagit pas, ne se contente pas de divertir. Une culture qui pose des questions, prend position, sait que l'art est politique. Plus que jamais, les Inrocks doivent jouer ce rôle de vigie et de passeur. Photos inédites, interviews cultes, souvenirs parfois oubliés… Quelle archive vous touche le plus ? Ouh là, difficile… Peut-être la rencontre entre JoeyStarr et Béatrice Dalle, avec cette fameuse image ou ils se roulent une pelle qu'on a réimprimée dans le livre. C'est très Inrocks cette démarche de faire se rencontrer des artistes, déplacer les regards, bousculer les mentalités et notre façon d'être au monde. Ouvrir des portes, c'est aussi votre histoire. Vous êtes arrivée comme stagiaire ? Exactement. En 2012. Ça ne me rajeunit pas : quatorze ans déjà. Et cela fait quatre ans que je dirige la rédaction. Et aujourd'hui, qu'avez-vous encore envie de bousculer ? Face à l'élection présidentielle et à l'année particulièrement tendue qui s'annonce, il faut plus que jamais assumer une forme d'engagement politique. La bataille culturelle a été largement déclenchée par Vincent Bolloré. Sans lieux de résistance et de liberté  comme le notre, elle peut être perdue. C'est aussi, depuis toujours, le rôle des Inrockuptibles. Donc ça fait quarante ans ? Oui. Vous aviez quel âge au début des Inrocks ? J'avais un an. J'en ai 39 ans aujourd'hui… Les Inrockuptibles : 40 ans d'une autre culture (1986-2026) publié par GM Éditions

Well Happy Batman Day... This Is A Weird One. Today we're diving into two of our favorite corners of the comic book movie world — the future of Marvel's X-Men AND the long history of Batman villains. First up, we're talking about the latest X-Men MCU casting rumors, including an Asian woman in a supporting role, a Native American man in a supporting role, and another female character who could have a small role in the first X-Men movie before becoming much more important in the sequel. Who could Marvel Studios be looking to bring into the MCU? We break down some of our biggest guesses, including characters like Thunderbird, and get into their powers, personalities, comic book histories, and how they could potentially fit into this new version of the X-Men. Then, in honor of Batman Day, we're doing the impossible: RANKING EVERY BATMAN MOVIE VILLAIN! We're going through the Tim Burton Batman movies, Joel Schumacher era, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Zack Snyder's Batman appearances, The Batman, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, and The LEGO Batman Movie — from Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger's Joker to Danny DeVito's Penguin, Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman, Jim Carrey's Riddler, Tom Hardy's Bane, Cillian Murphy's Scarecrow, Paul Dano's Riddler, Colin Farrell's Penguin, Mark Hamill's Joker and MANY more.

Hij begon op zijn zestiende bij ziekenomroep Radio Lucas en reed in 1979 met de buurman mee naar Cannes, met een geleende bandrecorder en zonder enige schroom: hij stelde zich overal voor als 'Dutch Radio'. Dat jaar ging Apocalypse Now in première. Hij interviewde Francis Ford Coppola, en Jack Nicholson gewoon op straat. Vanaf 1985 maakte hij televisie bij Veronica. Hij bedacht de Rembrandt Award, won een Emmy als een van de producenten van The Entertainment Experience en werd Ridder in de Orde van Oranje-Nassau. In 2014 ging zijn productiebedrijf New Haven failliet. En in 2024 belandde hij bijna fataal in het ziekenhuis door een bacterie in zijn bloedbaan. In deze aflevering o.a.: Waarom niet het faillissement zijn moeilijkste moment was, maar het vertrek uit zijn eigen bedrijf 1979 in Cannes, met een geleende bandrecorder en een verzonnen naam Rob Out die hem een BV liet oprichten en waarschuwde voor het glazen huis Wat hij van dichtbij zag rond Harvey Weinstein, en waarom hij er geen onderdeel van wilde zijn De bacterie die zijn hartklep en zijn wervels aantastte Waarom corona voor hem de meest inspirerende periode was Hoe een film écht gefinancierd wordt, en waarom je er niet in moet stappen voor het geld Zijn oudste dochter, die van niet weten wat ze wilde haar beroep maakte Timestamps00:00 – Wat hij zag rond Harvey Weinstein01:01 – Welkom bij Doorzetters02:13 – Introductie: René Mioch03:15 – Het moeilijkste moment04:15 – FCCE, New Haven en het faillissement05:06 – Waarom hij nooit CEO wilde zijn06:15 – Een merk worden, en de creatief tegenover het geld07:31 – Waalwijk: de buurman met een loods vol filmkopieën09:00 – 1979: Cannes, Apocalypse Now, Coppola en Nicholson10:38 – Faillissement of ziekte: wat hakte er het hardst in11:51 – Simon van Collem, en de avond in Tuschinski12:30 – Veronica, Rob Out en het advies om een BV te beginnen13:39 – Netwerken: waarom de partner van de beslisser ertoe doet14:45 – De bacterie in zijn bloedbaan16:11 – "Dit kan het einde zijn"17:17 – Zes weken antibiotica, achttien kilo eraf, de rollator18:02 – Corona als de meest inspirerende tijd19:18 – Geld als drijfveer, en waarom dat zelden werkt20:43 – Had hij zelf producent willen worden?22:01 – Hoe een film tot stand komt: script, fondsen en subsidies25:04 – Halina Reijn, Babygirl en wie er verdient27:46 – "Iedereen wist het, maar je zag het niet"29:13 – Harvey Weinstein van dichtbij31:15 – Zijn dochter die van niet-weten haar beroep maakte33:08 – Het merk René Mioch, en het glazen huis35:00 – Het leger om de sterren heen36:18 – Steven Spielberg belde Drew Barrymore zelf38:01 – Arnold Schwarzenegger op de Wallen39:07 – Bette Davis, en toestemming vragen aan de erven39:41 – Hoogtepunt en dieptepunt uit veertig jaar interviews43:08 – Jong talent, streamers en de Nederlandse film47:16 – Overleeft de bioscoop?49:11 – Nieuwe projecten: CineMusic en de Rembrandt Awards50:07 – De documentaire over zelfbeschikking52:17 – De dilemma's55:33 – Tip van de week59:22 – Afsluiting Tips van deze afleveringTip van Ruud: het nieuwe album van Rufus Wainwright.

Long before an entire generation of moviegoers learned that six words — "give my daughter the shot" — could completely wreck them, James L. Brooks crafted one of the most emotionally seismic mother-daughter dramas ever put on film. In this episode, we dive into Terms of Endearment (1983), the Best Picture-winning classic that somehow makes you laugh hysterically one minute and sob uncontrollably the next.We break down Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger's legendary chemistry as Aurora Greenway and her daughter Emma, spanning 30 years of a relationship that's equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking. We get into the behind-the-scenes drama — including the studio's fear that the film's wild tonal shifts would tank it at the box office, and how it instead went on to sweep the Academy Awards with five Oscars, including Best Picture.Along the way, we talk Jack Nicholson's iconic supporting performance and on-set improvisation, the evolving nature of movie stardom, some fascinating casting choices and near-misses (Harrison Ford, Paul Newman, and more), the underrated supporting cast including Danny DeVito, Jeff Daniels, and John Lithgow, and whether this 80s classic still hits as hard today as it did in theaters.Whether you remember ugly-crying in a movie theater in 1983 or you've never seen it and want to know what all the fuss is about, this is your deep dive into one of the defining dramas of the decade.Perfect for fans of: Gen X movie podcasts, 80s movie retrospectives, Terms of Endearment reviews, Shirley MacLaine movies, Jack Nicholson movies, classic tearjerker films, Best Picture Oscar winners, 80s drama and comedy classics, retro movie rewatch podcasts.Chapters00:00 – Introduction to Terms of Endearment03:02 – First Time Viewing and Initial Impressions07:20 – Risky Quizness: Behind-the-Scenes Knowledge12:10 – Studio's Fear and Box Office Success15:29 – Casting and Stellar Performances19:47 – The Legacy of Jack Nicholson20:25 – The Changing Landscape of Movie Stars21:24 – The Craft of Acting and Artistry22:04 – Casting Choices and Regrets22:35 – The Impact of Casting Decisions23:32 – The Charisma of Harrison Ford24:01 – The Role of Paul Newman24:53 – The Influence of the Director on the Script and Actors25:14 – Behind-the-Scenes Improvisation25:48 – The Versatility of Danny DeVito26:24 – The Career of Jeff Daniels29:00 – The Versatility of John Lithgow29:27 – The Replacement of an Actor in the Movie30:13 – The Role of Lisa Hart Carroll31:23 – The Original Casting Choices and the Sequel32:37 – The Impact of the Supporting Cast33:33 – Iconic and Favorite Scenes37:43 – Exploring the Comedy Scenes39:15 – Behind the Scenes with Nicholson40:24 – Intense Dramatic Moments41:18 – Pacing and Rushed Plot42:11 – Impact of Cancer Diagnosis43:20 – Rewatchability and Nostalgia Meter

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, Wolf Week continues as Sidey, Dan and new dad Jamie sink their teeth into Martin Scorsese's riotous financial crime epic The Wolf of Wall Street, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie, Matthew McConaughey, Kyle Chandler, Rob Reiner, Jon Bernthal, Jon Favreau and Joanna Lumley. With Reegs absent and therefore no proper intro to keep things vaguely professional, the dads begin by catching up on what they've been watching. Dan has largely swapped screen time for Cold War spy histories while his wife is away in the Czech Republic for the summer, Jamie has returned to the comforting embrace of Blue Bloods, No Offence and Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, and Sidey has endured Jason Statham's Mutiny, a revenge-on-a-boat action thriller with suspiciously Die Hard-adjacent poster energy. The Top 5 this week is Wolves, which naturally sends the conversation roaming all over the cultural wilderness. There's Winston Wolf from Pulp Fiction, Moro from Princess Mononoke, Teen Wolf and the obvious sporting advantage of being Michael J. Fox with werewolf powers, plus Shrek's Big Bad Wolf and a detour through wolf-related music from Warren Zevon, Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Duran Duran, Howlin' Wolf, Steppenwolf, Los Lobos, Wolfmother and Wolf Alice. Liam Neeson's miserable survival odds in The Grey get a mention, as do Bad Wolf and Rose Tyler from Doctor Who, Jack Nicholson in Wolf, Remus Lupin, Dances with Wolves, Portia Crystal from Sing 2, Lupine Howl, the direwolves from Game of Thrones, How Wolves Change Rivers, Rainier Wolfcastle and Oz from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Then it's on to The Wolf of Wall Street, a film the dads note is arriving neatly alongside Jersey's current Martin Scorsese cinema season. They follow Jordan Belfort from his first day as Wall Street pond scum through Matthew McConaughey's career-rescuing lunch scene of coke, booze,chest-thumping and “rookie numbers”, before Black Monday promptly ends any chance of a respectable finance career. From there it's penny stocks, Spike Jonze, 50% commissions and the arrival of Donnie Azoff, whose cousin-wife logic, blinding white teeth and crack-pipe networking help turn Stratton Oakmont into a full-blown fraud machine. Along the way, the dads dig into the film's most notorious moments: the “sell me this pen” lesson, motivational speeches, middle fingers to clients, dwarf tossing, strippers, head shaving, Rob Reiner as Belfort's furious father, Margot Robbie's Naomi making her entrance, Donnie's appalling first impression, the famous 11-second romance, Vegas excess, penicillin shots and a superyacht wedding present. They also cover Kyle Chandler's FBI agent Patrick Denham closing in, Jon Favreau's lawyer trying desperately to make Jordan stop, the Steve Madden IPO, hidden stock ownership, Joanna Lumley's Aunt Emma and the Swiss bank account, plus Jordan's spectacularly arrogant attempt to bribe the FBI with lobster, prostitutes and absolutely no self-awareness. The review also takes in the yacht storm and Italian rescue, the infamous Lemmon Quaaludes sequence with crawling, ham-choking and the destroyed Lamborghini reveal, Jordan wearing a wire while warning Donnie not to incriminate himself, and the ugly final collapse as Naomi demands a divorce, Jordan turns violent and everything finally crashes. By the end, the dads are left wrestling with prison, sales seminars and the uncomfortable question of whether the film really works as a cautionary tale, or whether it is simply too entertaining for its own good. Verdicts are strong across the board. Sidey recommends it, while still insisting it is far too long. Dan also gives it a strong recommend, particularly for the endlessly quotable scenes, and Jamie calls it a must-watch — although preferably consumed as three one-hour chunks rather than one enormous sitting.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Practical Magic 2 is almost here, Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock have reunited on the red carpet... and it's officially witchy season. Naturally, we're counting down the witchy movies that shaped us, from midnight-margarita comfort watches to the genuinely cursed.There's one 1990 classic that traumatised Laura so badly she turned down an Anne Hathaway interview rather than go near it, and she's begging you not to let your kids watch it. We're also spiralling over the '90s cult favourite that turned an entire generation of tweens into candle-lighting, spell-casting witches… and had real witchcraft on set, storms and all.Grab your candles (carefully), pour a margarita, and settle in. Just remember: nothing in the witchy world is ever free.TAKE THE SPILL'S WEEKLY POP CULTURE QUIZ HERE Become a Mamamia subscriber and get an all-access pass to everything we make, including exclusive podcasts and early listening, subscriber-only articles, monthly giveaways and our home workout app, MOVE.

Hop into the Way Back Machine as this week on GENZ/X™, JM & Braxton go first to 1989 for the Tim Burton classic BATMAN! Starring Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson, and Kim Basinger! Then we jump forward to 2008 for Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight! Starring Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Gary Oldman, and SO MANY MORE! […] The post 021 GENZ/X | Batman, The Dark Knight, and Dr. Frank-N-Furter appeared first on The LEFT Show.

If one were to use their best Jack Nicholson voice and declare; “You can't handle the truth!”, those of us who have seen the movie would have a depth of knowledge to pull from in that conversation. There are phrases in this psalm that are like that – those who have read and understood the corresponding scriptures have a depth of knowledge to pull from in their understanding of these poetic and prophetic words of David. Hebrews 7 gives us insight into Genesis 14 and how Psalm 110:4's statement “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek” relates to Jesus. Additional insights from the New testament can be found in Matt 26:64; Acts 2:34; 1 Cor 15:25, Col 3:1, Heb 12:2, Rom 11:26-27; Heb 5:10. The point of it all is that Psalm 110 is all about Jesus! Jesus as Messiah, Jesus as King, and Jesus as Priest. Let us sit in awe at the character of our God who has given us His word so that we can know Him. He has crafted scripture in a magnificent and beautiful way and revealed so much about Himself within its pages. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever – all for the praise honor and glory of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!---------To help us keep God's word planted deep into our hearts we encourage you to memorize a Psalm over the Summer. (The children in Grace Airways will be memorizing all of Psalm 23. We are confident that by hiding God's word in your heart in this way will bear fruit that will last all throughout your life.---------Prepare for this week's teaching by reading psalm 110

Holy Aerosol Spray, Batman! Gotham's on drugs!  This week we're diving into Batman Begins (2005) and The Dark Knight (2008), both directed by Christopher Nolan, and what starts as a straightforward celebration of two of the greatest superhero movies ever made ends up going places we may or may not have wanted to go. Thanks, Jonathan. We start by praising Batman Begins but the convo quickly spirals faster than Gotham's insurance premiums. We celebrate Cillian Murphy's Scarecrow for committing city-wide chemical warfare before casually going back to selling drugs like the most overqualified pharmacist in comic book history.Seriously. Imagine turning an entire city into a nightmare hallucination... and then showing back up six months later like:"Hey guys... anybody need drugs?"AND PEOPLE BUY THEM.We harp on why Wayne Enterprises invested millions into developing a wrist-mounted Van Opener™, memory-cloth capes, and sonar surveillance technology instead of, you know... starting with functioning neck mobility. Somewhere in Gotham, Lucius Fox is trying to cure cancer while Bruce Wayne keeps asking if his grappling hook can also be used as a can opener.  Then we arrive at The Dark Knight, where Heath Ledger's Joker once again reminds us that he isn't just one of the greatest comic book villains ever put on film—he's a sleep paralysis demon that somehow learned improv comedy. We refuse to believe Joker's bank robbery happened without seventeen planning meetings, four whiteboards, three Google Calendars, a shared Dropbox folder, and at least one henchman getting yelled at because the shipment of bazooka's weren't delivered before lunch.There had to be a clown accountant.There HAD to be.Elsewhere we celebrate Mark Hamill's legendary Joker, Jack Nicholson, discuss Barry Keoghan, not-so-politely acknowledge Jared Leto's... attempt... gush over Batman: The Animated Series, the Harley Quinn animated series, question Gothamites incredible inability to recognize billionaires wearing armor, and wonder how on earth did Batman get in that interrogation room. Where does he get those wonderful toys, indeed.

We celebrate the Oscar-sweeping classic, featuring one of cinema's great battles: Jack Nicholson's rebellious McMurphy versus Louise Fletcher's chilling Nurse Ratched. With an outstanding ensemble cast, we explore the film's long road to production and its enduring themes of freedom, conformity and institutional control.

Cinco indicações sem vitória. Foi assim que Martin Scorsese chegou a Os Infiltrados (2006), o filme que finalmente lhe deu o Oscar de Melhor Diretor em 2007. Mas será mesmo essa a melhor obra da carreira dele, ou o prêmio veio como uma espécie de acerto de contas atrasado da Academia?Neste episódio de aniversário de 20 anos, o grupo destrincha detalhes que passam batido pela maioria do público: o filme é remake de um thriller de Hong Kong que nem Scorsese nem o roteirista assistiram antes de adaptar, a montagem de Thelma Schoonmaker que faz duas horas e meia parecerem uma só, e um motivo visual escondido em janelas e sombras que funciona como presságio de morte.Rafael Arinelli, Caio de Aquino, Fernando Machado e Cecília Barroso discutem a masculinidade performática de Matt Damon, o pânico constante de Leonardo DiCaprio, os improvisos assustadores de Jack Nicholson com uma arma de verdade no set, e o final com um rato que quase foi apagado digitalmente após uma petição de fãs em 2019.Vinte anos depois, Os Infiltrados continua questionando o sistema. Existe alguma diferença real entre o policial e o bandido?Ouça 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.

This week! We have given a name to our film and it's Batman (1989)! Listen in as Kayleigh ranks the caped crusaders, Ryan argues why the sum of the film's parts (Prince, Danny Elfman, Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson) are better than it's flaws (the cowl), and they both debate the age old question, did Batman make the Joker? Interruption: "The Suburbs" by Arcade Fire (directed by Spike Jonze) *Please enjoy this explicit content responsibly* 

For our first entry into our Prime King month, we present: The Shining. Yes, we know that King wasn't a fan of the movie (and he's since softened on it), but it's a damn good movie. From Stanley Kubrick, starring Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Scatman Crothers, and Danny Lloyd.

Welcome to The DMF — Discovering Meaning in Film and Acting. I'm Justin Younts, and in this episode I sit down with Mel Mack for part three of our conversation.This one gets into the things actors don't always talk about openly, starting with crying on cue. We get into the different ways actors get there, from external aids like menthol to genuinely tapping into real emotion, and why it's worth being honest with yourself about which one you're actually using.We also talk routines, morning and night, and how much they shape a performance. Meditation, fitness, the small habits that keep you grounded before you step in front of a camera. From there it's special skills and the risk of overstating them on a resume, audition prep, and a detour into the music and movies that shaped us — Taylor Swift, Jack Nicholson, Chinatown, and Uncut Gems.In this episode we discuss:Crying on cue and the techniques actors use to get thereMorning and night routines, meditation, and fitnessSpecial skills and the risk of overstating themAudition preparationJack Nicholson, Chinatown, and Uncut GemsHow to reach Mel Mack Acting StudioMel Mack Acting Studio: https://melmackactingstudio.com/00:00:00 - Crying on Cue 00:01:57 - Daily Routines, Meditation, and Fitness 00:06:26 - Special Skills and the Risks of Exaggerating 00:09:37 - Books, New York, and Audition Preparation 00:11:42 - Music and Taylor Swift's Influence 00:16:10 - What Mel's Watching 00:16:31 - Jack Nicholson, Movie Legends, and Being an Extra 00:19:28 - Chinatown, Marty Supreme, and Uncut Gems 00:20:51 - How to Reach Mel Mack Acting Studio#ActingTips #CryingOnCue #JackNicholson #TaylorSwift #AuditionPrep #ActingPodcast

This week, the CREEP-O-RAMA crew dives face-first into Tim Burton's Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992), and what begins as a thoughtful retrospective immediately crashes through the roof of Wayne Manor like the Batwing after somebody gave Bruce four Red Bulls and a head injury. We celebrate Michael Keaton's legendary Batman, Jack Nicholson's gloriously deranged Joker, Danny DeVito's sewer-goblin Penguin, and Michelle Pfeiffer's absolutely untouchable Catwoman while asking the questions Warner Bros. cowards were too afraid to answer: Who was strapping military-grade rocket launchers onto penguins? Alfred? Did Gotham's OSHA office simply burst into flames before construction began? Why is there an abandoned Arctic theme park hidden beneathGotham City, and why did literally nobody notice it? Why does Batman own enough surveillance equipment to make the NSA blush but still can't turn his own neck? Why is every vat of acid sitting completely uncovered like it's complimentary office coffee?  We spiral into increasingly unhinged theories about Catwomanactually being a zombie resurrected by emotionally supportive alley cats, Bruce Wayne secretly importing six cases of champagne from Japan just because he's rich enough to be legally confusing, and Batman patiently sitting alone in thedark for hours waiting for Commissioner Gordon to finally flip on the Bat-Signal like a Labrador waiting for someone to throw the tennis ball.  Along the way we compare Burton's gothic masterpiece tolater takes from Christopher Nolan and Matt Reeves, argue over Joker's ever-changing origin story, defend the comic-book insanity of Burton's universe, declare that the rocket-pack penguins somehow feature better underwater cinematography than Jaws 3-D (1983), and accidentally spend an alarming amount of time debating Batman's nipples, rubber cowl strength modifiers, VHS surveillance technology, and whether Gotham's building inspectors were simply paid in riddles. Look. It's Batman, We're GOING to passionately overanalyzetwo of our favorite films until the conversation evolves into Alfred operating a black-market military contractor ring out of Wayne Manor. It's inevitable.

Seven years ago, in the early days of the Scariest Things, we did some horror history, diving into some of the more obscure titles that you may not be aware of. We stopped at the early seventies, and then went on a very long hiatus. But now we are back with some (maybe) forgotten gems from 1975 to 1979. Friend of the podcast Ian Parker joins Eric and Mike in this deep dive. It took a while, but we are back to our chronology of horror movies. We have picked up the baton and are moving our movie history lessons forward. The seventies were a turbulent period in history. The Hayes Code, now dead and defeated, is no longer. The early seventies started playing around in the margins with movies that pushed the boundaries of what was possible. The advent of the massive summer blockbuster began to separate movies into big-budget and indie-budget films, and horror was part of that trend. Jaws (1975) and The Exorcist (1972) proved that with the right director, scary movies could bring in big money and be legitimate critical darlings as well. The doors opened for studios to pour big money into movies that would become The Omen, Alien, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and Carrie, landmark movies all. Big-name actors with great pedigrees were coaxed into performing in big studio horror projects. Gregory Peck did The Omen. Faye Dunaway at the height of her career did The Eyes of Laura Mars. It wouldn’t be long before Jack Nicholson got cast in The Shining (1980), but we’ll get to that one later. Having said all that, the studios weren’t quite all-in yet. There were a few pet projects out there. But the domain of the horror movie was still in the dilapidated old downtown movie houses and drive-in theaters. You couldn’t yet rent movies for home viewing. If you wanted to go see independent horror movies, you had to be willing to get down and dirty. The Cineplex wasn’t yet ready for showing off the gory delicacies that were being cooked up in the era when the boundaries between R and X hadn’t been settled yet. Slasher Movies Come of Age Horror never forgot its roots. You could still make a low-budget movie, with no-name actors, scare some teenagers, and turn a profit. But a guy in a rubber suit wasn’t going to cut it anymore. Real explicit violence and raw visceral horror are now how to make a memorable mark. Following in the footsteps of Black Christmas (1972), Last House on the Left (1972), and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), the slasher film was going to find the sweet spot of low budget and mass appeal. Enter Halloween (1978). Stabbing and spooking were now moving into the suburbs. On a budget of $325,000, Halloween would go on to earn $47,160,000. On a budget of $325,000, Halloween would go on to earn $47,160,000. Hollywood noticed. The impact of Halloween would be felt primarily in the early eighties, but a few filmmakers picked up on the trend early. The slasher films influenced directly in the wake of Halloween include: Don’t Go Into the House (1979), Silent Scream (1979), Tourist Trap (1979), Driller Killer (1979), Prom Night (1980), Maniac (1980), Friday the 13th (1980), Don’t Go into the Woods (1981), Madman (1981), Happy Birthday to Me (1981), My Bloody Valentine (1981), The Burning (1981), The House on Sorority Row (1982), and The Slumber Party Massacre (1982). All of these films featured a masked killer (usually) and some sort of stabbing weapon (usually), and oblivious teen victims (usually), with sexual activity usually as part of the equation (usually)… and a final girl (usually). That’s the modern slasher template. It didn’t take long for filmmakers to figure out the formula. Our great directors who would lead horror for the next twenty years were in place. John Carpenter, Tobe Hooper, and Wes Craven had their knives out and were ready to dominate the field. This genre still felt fresh. The sequels had yet to take control of the industry, and the concept felt raw and scary. This trend would find its killer’s stride in the 80’s, but this is when the slasher movie came out of the shadows. Horror Gets Really Weird, and Discovers God While the sixties still had a safety belt on, and the eighties went for the reliable thrills, the seventies was a period that allowed directors to stretch out their ideas. The early seventies also contributed a number of strange films, but it is hard to match the back half of the seventies with the likes of The Manitou (1976), Phantasm (1979), Hausu (1977), and Eraserhead (1977), which brought wildly original concepts to the table. Religion was a big thing too. Conventionally, there were movies like The Omen and The Exorcist that were, while very scary, using traditional good-and-evil concepts. This era also had a more counter-cultural and artistic interpretation of holy horror. God Told Me To (1976) and The Visitor (1979) were gonzo strange concepts that never found an audience, but were challenging with their takes of what celestial beings might be. What is Jesus, really? For that matter, what is God? An alien? Perhaps. Truly strange, blasphemous stuff. Perhaps it was all the hallucinogens that were popular of the era. Cosmic horror found truth in a far-out metaphysical moment. It wouldn’t take long for the politicians and the morality police to put an end to such wild concepts. But in truth, the conservative backlash was waiting in the next decade. In the seventies, the liberal notions of acceptable content had plenty of room. That would be coming to an end soon, especially when movies could come home on cable TV and VHS.

Any time Trump or one of his supporters brings up the 2020 election, insisting he didn't lose it, we hear the usual chorus of groans: why can't he get over it? He lost. Move on. The thing is, I can't get over it either. 2020 was the year everything changed. My entire world was turned upside down because I could see, for the first time, that I was in a bubble, a feedback loop that had shaped my perception of reality. It's just that it wasn't actual reality. It was a curated, hysteria-inducing delusion. It wasn't just me. Go on YouTube, and you'll find hundreds, if not thousands, of people whose lives were fundamentally transformed that year in one way or another. COVID made them quit their job and move into a van. COVID made them decide to divorce. COVID made them learn how to bake sourdough. And a lot of us were red-pilled. It was as though someone pressed the pause button and all of us froze in place for a time. Like in the movie Weapons where the kids suddenly wake up one day…Isolated and shut in, we all turned to social media and the internet, which meant more people were connected than ever before at a time when there were more people alive than ever before. We've never really fully processed what happened to all of us that year.It was the year we stopped trusting the science, the schools, Hollywood, the legacy media, and the government. Children were locked down and staring at their screens, with many of the lost boys finding their way into the dark corners of the internet and would emerge years later fumbling their way toward a rifle and a rooftop.That isn't all of it, or even half of it. None of us would emerge from that year unscathed. We can't talk about it as a country or a people because we are still so divided. The big things divide us, like the vaccine, the masks, the lockdowns, and most especially, the 2020 election.We were stepping into something we did not understand and weren't prepared for. Things have changed enough now that it will be hard to remember just how bad things got after Trump won in 2016. I remember because I was on the inside. I lived it with the Democrats and what would become a Doomsday Cult.We called ourselves “the resistance” even though we had all of the power. Trump and MAGA, they were the real resistance, or at least the revolutionaries going up against the most powerful machine in American history, maybe ever.All I knew was that I had to fight for my side. I woke up every day like a good soldier for the cause and went to battle online, wasting precious time with my daughter, or doing anything else except sitting and staring at a screen and fighting with people I didn't even know over issues that didn't matter with arguments that had no end and went nowhere.Inside the Doomsday Cult, we were awash with mass hysteria because every single day, every time Trump tweeted, the legacy media sent out more waves of hysteria that pulsed through the hive mind and kept reinfecting anyone who scrolled Twitter or Facebook. It was a new emergency every day. We were stuck in an unending state of trauma.The legacy media desperately wants to forget what happened, how they lied and gaslit the public. The consequences for these moral crimes have been minimal. A slap on the wrist for ignoring Joe Biden's cognitive decline, but there has never been a reckoning for what they did to all of us, people who trusted them, in 2020.What Happened to MeMy daughter had to leave her senior year at college to have her graduation on my balcony, but we did it because we were doing our part to help save the country during this once-in-a-generation pandemic.Mobilizing for the cause meant sewing our own masks, displaying them proudly on Instagram. It meant mixing our own hand sanitizer because it was all out at the drug store. Some people were wearing face shields. We were living in fear. We were cowed into silence. Half the country fell into Mass Formation Psychosis. We weren't allowed to attend weddings, churches, or schools, but somehow on Memorial Day, the George Floyd protests became the most important thing in America for months.Systemic racism, they told us, was more urgent than COVID. Really? Bringing the whole country — the whole world — to its knees was less serious than George Floyd dying at the hands of a police officer in Minneapolis? Yes. That's what they were telling us, and everyone was mandated to go along with everything that came next.These were our idols, we were told. It was the new state religion, even if Trump was still the president. This is the ideology we're allowed to gather for. This is worth tear ing down statues, burning buildings, carving out “autonomous zones” and demanding everyone put a black square on Instagram, capitalize the word Black and raise their fists to Black Lives Matter. The madness unfolding on the streets meant Democrats could actually lose in November, I believed. So why wasn't anyone trying to stop them? Why were the Democrats encouraging them? I started wondering what the hell was going on. It felt like unseen hands were manipulating events behind the scenes, and we were all expected to just go along with it.As I began to speak out and ask questions, I was turned into an enemy. “You've changed,” wrote Neera Tanden on Twitter. She was right. I had. By the time Twitter pressured the New York Times to back off their Tom Cotton essay, Send in the Troops, I was done. Maybe I was naive. I didn't understand the assignment. I'd seen too many Frank Capra movies. I'd begun to believe politics was like an Aaron Sorkin screenplay. I thought we were the good guys. We are the side with ethics and decency and fairness.I was like Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2 when Arnold Schwarzenegger shows up, and she thinks he's a bad guy, but when he says, “Come with me if you want to live, she realizes that everything is backward. The people she thought were the good guys weren't. The guy she thought was there to kill her was actually there to save her. By the end of 2020, I was as black-pilled as Jack Nicholson in Chinatown, disillusioned and wide awake. Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown.But what I saw them do - how we were all manipulated, how they rigged the election to be too big to fail - I could see for the first time that my side had too much power. So much power that American democracy was now beside the point.It didn't matter how the people voted, because we would decide who was allowed to win and who would become an existential threat to the world we were building, the utopia we were building online.When I left the party, I knew I couldn't be fully honest about what I believed happened, though I did say that the election had been rigged. I also couldn't be honest about what I knew about January 6th, at least not in the beginning. When I saw the riot break out, my first thought was, that's not MAGA. They don't do that.And anyway, even if they did, why couldn't the Democrats chalk it up to months of lockdowns and highly enraged, radicalized people on the Right just as there were on the Left that Summer. Why couldn't they? Because it was all still part of the long con, the mass delusion. These ideas were dangerous to hold for anyone in America but especially someone of the Left, and yet, I could not stop it. The truth began knocking. I ignored it as long as I could, but eventually, the knocking became a banging, and I had no choice but to open the door.How to Rig An ElectionOnce you start tugging on the question of why Twitter and Facebook censored the Hunter Biden laptop, you begin to unravel the bigger picture of just how deep the conspiracy went. But you don't need the whole story. You just need to know this: The FBI and the CIA worked against the sitting president to lie to the public that the laptop was “Russian Disinformation.” It was just a standard run-of-the-mill October surprise, timed to help ignite a scandal before the election. But it was also information the public had a right to know, as we would find out later. So anyone who shames Trump for calling the election rigged and denying it was legit will have to answer for this. But if you keep pulling on that string, you'll find the why of it. They were trying to fix all of the problems they believed caused Hillary Clinton's loss. This would be payback for the email scandal that hit her campaign, which she called “Russian Disinformation.” That would also turn out to be untrue.But there were other problems that needed correcting, like lazy voters who assumed Hillary would win because she was so far ahead in the polls and didn't bother turning out. They would fix this problem using COVID as the pretext to change everything about how people vote and how those votes are collected.They knew they had Pennsylvania won long before Election Day and it would only be a matter of convincing the public not to get too excited about a “red mirage.” To all of them, that's the right way to win an election.Trump won Iowa, Ohio and Florida, not to mention the bellwether counties that have decided our elections. The only other time anything like this happened was in 1960, when JFK won in a squeaker. Compare that to 2020, and you can see that something was very off about the numbers. Since the Democrats believed Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook had handed Trump the win in 2016 by using their marketing machine (the Clinton campaign refused their help), it was time for Zuckerberg to undo that damage, which came in the form of a $400 million slush fund used to “fortify” the election but mostly in the heavily blue districts. Had all of this been shared with the whole country as a way to improve our elections overall, that would have been one thing. But it was all done behind the scenes, in the shadows, far from the reach of anyone who might dissent. It was anything but ethical and anything but fair.It was all part of a grand scheme to stay one step ahead of Trump. If they already knew he would claim it was rigged, why not just rig it? Who would the people believe? Trump or the “bipartisan cabal” of unelected bureaucrats hiding in the shadows?The truth is that Trump was pulling ahead because the Left was losing its mind, and Trump picked up on it. He changed his campaign; no matter how many ways they tried to keep him from his rallies, he got the word out anyway. That would explain why he won those key states but lost so much in the popular vote. Our elections should not be decided months before Election Day. Candidates should have to make their case to the people, not hide in the basement and let the system do the work. It's the candidate's job to inspire the voters to vote for the kind of government they want, and it's the voters responsibility to be motivated enough to turn out to the polls and cast their vote. But with an easily manipulated hive mind like the Democrats had cultivated for ten years they didn't need any of it.The Year That Broke AmericaI've never been able to convince anyone of what I believed happened in 2020. If you were on the Left, chances are, you wouldn't be able to see it either. You would have trusted the same people I used to trust: CNN, New York Times, MSNBC, your social media feed.You would have come out of that year thinking Joe Biden won the 2020 election fair and square and that Donald Trump refused to lose, so he led a dangerous assault on the Capitol, putting our democracy under threat. Yet, after everything they did to Trump that year and for the four years prior, what else could he have done except protest? It was just a little too convenient that there happened to be a riot at the same time, a Reichstag Fire that handed absolute power to Team Blue.If you were still trapped inside the Doomsday Cult, you'd have been primed and ready to go to war on your fellow Americans because Vice President Kamala Harris would tell you January 6th was like 9/11 and Pearl Harbor. You would have thought Liz Cheney and the Prime Time Show Trial was legit. What an easy mark you'd be.If you never escaped, as I did, you'd still be trapped inside the Doomsday Cult and never have any idea that none of this is your fault. You were put into a kind of trance in 2020, even before, like the kids in the movie Weapons, frozen in place and used as an army to do the bidding of the Democratic Party.They made you believe, like they made me believe, that every day really was the end of the world as long as Donald Trump was in power. But it was never true, none of it. All the Democrats ever had to do was offer the people something better. If everything Molly Ball wrote about the election the “Secret Bi-Partisan Cabal” supposedly saved, how did Trump win again? In Weapons, the children are put under a spell and aimed at the enemies of the witch. Once the spell is broken, the children wake up and realize the person they should be mad at isn't the one she made them attack, but instead the witch herself for robbing them of their ability to think for themselves. And so it goes with the Democrats.// This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.sashastone.com/subscribe

Take 241: Harrison Ford In Review — Episode 2The Peter Weir years. Jonathan and JP dig into the two-film stretch that makes the strongest case for Harrison Ford as a serious actor — and the one that proves audiences weren't ready to follow him there.First, Witness. The film every major studio passed on, that John Badham dismissed as "just another cop movie," that Sylvester Stallone turned down and later called one of the worst decisions of his career. The film that got Ford his only Oscar nomination, that Roger Ebert called a thriller Hitchcock would have been proud of, and that Peter Weir shot with the same cinematographer, composer, and editor he'd bring to the very next film. The barn-raising sequence. The dance to Wonderful World. The final porch scene with no dialogue at all. The big question: is this the best performance Ford ever gave?Then The Mosquito Coast. The film Weir had been trying to make since 1981, the one Jack Nicholson left over salary, the one Paul Schrader wrote, the one River Phoenix made at 15 years old before Stand By Me had even come out. Ford playing Allie Fox — brilliant, volatile, increasingly unhinged, dragging his family into the jungle on the conviction that America is finished and he can build something better from scratch. A character so far from Han Solo and John Book that audiences simply didn't show up. $14.3 million on a $25 million budget. Zero Oscar nominations. A genuine financial disaster.And underneath both films, the same question: Weir and Ford missed the Witness Oscar ceremony because they were already in Belize shooting Mosquito Coast. The film they skipped the ceremony for then flopped. Ford went back toward safer, more commercial roles. Indiana Jones. Patriot Games.

We continue our month of aliens attacking America! with another 1996 gem, Tim Burton's Mars Attacks! Based on the Topps trading card series from 1962, this hilarious, satirical alien invasion movie follows separate groups of Americans who all have very different experiences when Martians arrive and start indiscriminately killing everyone with their death rays. The movie stars Jack Nicholson in two unrelated roles, plus Glenn Close, Michael J. Fox, Martin Short, Annette Bening, Pierce Brosnan, Danny DeVito, Pam Grier, Jim Brown, Lukas Haas, Natalie Portman, Silvia Sidney, and Lisa Marie.

Sam Neill and Josh Grisetti both died within the past few days. Jack Nicholson is 89, but he remains alive. Barry Manilow is a sprightly 83. Why did we bring those two up? To be honest, I don't remember.

Emmy-nominated writer, producer and comedian Carol Leifer joins Gilbert and Frank to talk about early comedy influences Mickey Katz, Allan Sherman and Vaughn Meader, her salad days at The Comic Strip and Catch a Rising Star and scripting unforgettable “Seinfeld” episodes like “The Rye,” “The Lip Reader” and “The Hamptons” (aka “The Ugly Baby.”) Also, Carol dates Paul Reiser, recognizes Ron Perlman, compliments Barry Levinson and opens for the Chairman of the Board. PLUS: Lenny Schultz! “Cool Hand Luke”! The return of “Dummy in the Window”! Gilbert meets Lorne Michaels! And Carol (sort of) meets Jack Nicholson! Learn more about your ad choices.
