Chris Paul and Burning Bright finally sit down with Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 masterpiece The Godfather, based on the Mario Puzo novel and starring Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Robert Duvall, and Diane Keaton. Both guys came to it fresh, with Burning Bright admitting he had never even watched it before this episode, and walked away convinced it absolutely lives up to its legendary reputation. The conversation centers on the changing of the guard from Vito's old world honor culture to Michael's coldly pragmatic zero sum game, with Sonny stuck as a will without tact and Tom Hagen as the official interpreter who fails because the rule set itself is dying. They dig into the controlled opposition between honor and business as two different justifications for chasing the same worldly prize, why both sides are spiritually bankrupt, and how Vito's actual power projection in his youth is what makes his soft power work as an old man. From there they go big picture on Donald Trump as Vito (and maybe as Michael), narrative warfare as the prime lever of power rather than an ancillary tool, mandate cultivation versus mandate manufacturing, the horse head as the perfect actual narrative fusion, and why don't insult my intelligence is finally where the audience is landing on the regime.

Host Scott is joined by special returning guest Adam Thornton (Films That Time Forgot) to talk about the now semi-forgotten Arnie flick "Eraser."Over the course of the episode Scott and Adam discuss what makes this the last Classic Arnie Era film, why this was a hit at the time but seems to faded from memory now and debate whether "Eraser" had franchise potential. Plus, we get into how director Chuck Russell deals with the action in his first large scale action flick (his background being horror and comedy), theorise why Vanessa Williams didn't get more action roles and extol the virtues of James Caan as the villain. Check out Films That Time Forgot ⁠here⁠"All '90s Action, All The Time" is Produced & Edited by Scott Murphy. Music by Elyssa Vulpes.

Patrick Kilpatrick has gone toe-to-toe with the absolute Mount Rushmore of action cinema. We're talking about trading blows and sharing scenes with Tom Cruise, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and James Caan, just to name a few! He takes us behind the scenes of some of his most memorable projects, including Death Warrant, Showdown, Minority Report, Eraser, Best of the Best, The Toxic Avenger and Dying for Living as well as going family friendly in the Free Willy series. He also talks writing and producing. Later in the show, Jonathan from the D-Team drops behind the mic for a fascinating deep dive into the psychology of cinema. Jonathan breaks down exactly why cinematic villains impact us so deeply and stay with us long after the credits roll. Why do we remember the bad guys?

This week my friend Mario DeAngelis of SALTY HORROR PRODUCTIONS joins me to discuss more "Twisted Cinema" classics! This episode is dedicated to the 1991 film, THE DARK BACKWARD. It's the world inside out. A man pursues stand-up comedy encouraged by his fellow garbage man. Though his friend, who accompanies him on accordion, continues to tell him how great he is, he actually stinks. When the “comedian” grows a third arm out of his back, the friend uses this twist to get him signed up with a sleazy talent agent, and it begins to look like his career is on the move, even though his girlfriend has left him. Starring JUDD NELSON, BILL PAXTON, WAYNE NEWTON and even JAMES CAAN!!! This crazy film needs to be seen and must be discussed!

Don't go anywhere, We're about to get crackalackin on our review of Misery, one of Stephen Kings most successful and critically acclaimed novel adaptations. Synopsis When world class author Paul Sheldon takes a spill he falls under the care of Annie Wilkes, his Nurse. As Paul regains his strength to learn to walk again, he also finds himself learning to love again. Little does he know that Annie Wilkes is his #1 fan. As Annie becomes his muse for his next novel, Annie tries to remain professional and hide her true feelings. From the Director Princess Bride and When Harry Met Sally comes the feel good romantic comedy of the 90's, which asks, why unrequited love can lead to such… Misery. Review of Misery Misery is a horror movie that proves you don't need all the bells and whistles of the genre to be truly terrifying. Sometimes all you need is one truly unhinged person and no escape. Kathy Bates performance is truly impressive and well deserving of her academy award win. She is convincingly able to portray a cavalcade of mental health disorders at the flip of a switch. Going from Manic fan girl to menacing anger, to unnerving disassociation. James Caan comparatively has light work being nonplussed at Annie's theatrics. William Goldman's adapted screenplay deserves a lot of credit for its tight pacing, the smart addition of a sheriff character, and great dialogue. Rob Reiner had a lot to prove with this film in expanding his credibility as a director outside of comedy. It undeniably is a great thriller, but my one criticism is that it is often visually uninteresting. It might be intentional, but the over reliance on monologue long closeups felt claustrophobic at times. It's said that Reiner studied the films of Hitchcock before shooting Misery, but I don't see anything close to that level of visual storytelling. Overall, this is a great movie. The tension never lets up and Kathy Bates performance is required viewing. Score 10/10

This week on Shat the Movies, we're diving into The Way of the Gun (2000), where kidnapping goes sideways and nobody is as smart as they think they are. Ryan Phillippe and Benicio del Toro play low-rent criminals who stumble into a job way over their heads, and things get messy fast. Gene and Big D break down the brutal realism, awkward silences, and a shootout style that feels way too grounded to be comfortable. Is this a hidden gem or just a cold, slow burn that never quite pays off? Tune in and find out. Full movie info below The Way of the Gun (2000) is a crime thriller written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie and stars Ryan Phillippe, Benicio del Toro, Juliette Lewis, and James Caan. The film follows two small-time crooks who kidnap a pregnant woman involved in a high-stakes surrogacy deal, only to find themselves hunted by dangerous professionals. Known for its realistic gunplay and stripped-down storytelling, the film has developed a cult following despite mixed reactions at release.

Hollywood Godfather is Gianni Russo's over-the-top memoir of a real-life mobster-turned-actor who helped make The Godfather a reality, and his story of life on the edge between danger and glamour. Gianni Russo was a handsome 25-year-old mobster with no acting experience when he walked onto the set of The Godfather and entered Hollywood history. He played Carlo Rizzi, the husband of Connie Corleone, who set her brother Sonny―played by James Caan―up for a hit. Russo didn't have to act―he knew the mob inside and out: from his childhood in Little Italy, where Mafia legend Frank Costello took him under his wing, to acting as a messenger for New Orleans mob boss Carlos Marcello during the Kennedy assassination, to having to go on the lam after shooting and killing a member of the Colombian drug cartel in his Vegas club. Along the way, Russo befriended Frank Sinatra, who became his son's godfather, and Marlon Brando, who mentored his career as an actor after trying to get Francis Ford Coppola to fire him from The Godfather. Russo had passionate affairs with Marilyn Monroe, Liza Minelli, and scores of other celebrities. He went on to become a producer and starred in The Godfather: Parts I and II, Seabiscuit, Any Given Sunday and Rush Hour 2, among many other films.Hollywood Godfather is a no-holds-barred account of a life filled with violence, glamour, sex―and fun.https://amzn.to/4tRynurBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Dustin Hoffman trying to stop a virus, Ernest Borgnine trying to summon Satan and Adam Sandler as the son of said Satan. You also have an upgrade for Tobe Hooper's Stephen King adaptation.

The Munsons are joined by guest Munson Krystal Clark to shine a light on one of the most quietly impressive performers working today: Amy Ryan. From a stage career boasting three Tony nominations to a film and television résumé filled with range, Ryan has built a career that somehow flies under the radar while consistently delivering memorable performances. We dig into her standout role in The Wire, which finally settles a long-running agreement between Aubrey and James—and yes, it means Aubrey will inevitably have to watch The Sopranos. From there, we explore how Ryan has become synonymous with memorable characters across some of the greatest television shows ever made, while also noticing a surprising trend: she's appeared in a lot of projects centered around the trauma of children. Coincidence? The Munsons investigate. We absolutely gush over her Oscar-nominated performance in Gone Baby Gone and question how she didn't take home the Academy Award. Her heartfelt turn as Holly on The Office gets its flowers for making audiences forgive the impossible—Michael Scott leaving the show—while we also highlight her sneaky comedic chops in films like Central Intelligence. Along the way, we try to unpack the “why” behind her eclectic role choices and wonder how someone this consistently great isn't more widely known by general audiences. How does she rank on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out. The Krystal Clark Collection We are thrilled to welcome back the incomparable Krystal Clark, Past Chair of Nashville's legendary Belcourt Theater. Krystal has become our go-to expert for the "Versatile Powerhouse" trend—specializing in actors who bring gravitas and prestige to every frame.

This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes revisit "The Way of the Gun", Christopher McQuarrie's sharp, character-driven crime thriller and directorial debut.Both Mike Butler and Mike Field really enjoy this one. The performances are firing on all cylinders, with the legendary James Caan bringing gravitas and menace to every scene he's in. Benicio Del Toro and Ryan Phillippe anchor the film as two genuinely bad men, not misunderstood antiheroes, but criminals who are unapologetically who they are. That commitment to morally compromised characters gives the film a harder edge than most crime thrillers of its era.McQuarrie's first outing behind the camera shows remarkable confidence, with tight dialogue, grounded action, and characters who always feel true to themselves. Butler suspects younger him would have absolutely loved this film, while Field appreciates it even more now, finding its maturity and restraint more compelling with age.Dark, deliberate, and unapologetically adult, "The Way of the Gun" stands as one of the stronger crime films of the early 2000s and a reminder of how effective simple, character-focused storytelling can be.What's your favorite film about a bad guy(s) where they are the lead and actually ARE the bad guy? Let us know in the comments!

Dave Hondel sits down with Bernard Robichaud, who played the Cyrus in the popular TV series "Trailer Park Boys". Bernard was trained in the theatre by renowned educators and has shared the screen with legends like James Caan and Kathy Bates, among many others.

Thrillers with an insidious carer at the centre. Sarah Watt, Jeremy Downing and William Chen discuss Send Help (2026) and Misery (1990). We begin by discussing our shared experience of watching Send Help and praising the performances of Rachel McAdams as Linda Liddle and Dylan O'Brien as Bradley Preston. Our conversation jumps between Send Help and Misery, equally praising the performances of Kathy Bates as Annie Wilkes and James Caan as Paul Sheldon. The work of Rob Reiner and Sam Raimi as directors is a key part of our enthusiasm, and we compare the films to various other movies, including: Cast Away (2000), Triangle of Sadness (2022), Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), Oz the Great and Powerful (2013), The Shining (1980), Lord of the Flies (1963), The Straight Story (1999) and Elf (2003).

Ok, I promise it's not miserable. As a matter of fact, Rob Riener's month has been quite a pleasant journey. But it's time for Isaac and Juzo to dig into one of Rienner's most thrilling pictures yet. Based on Steven King's Book, Misery stars Kathy Bates and James Caan in a shut-in thriller about a writer who is held captive by a fan. But how well does Riener take on a dark thriller? Can he really jump to something this serious after such feel-good films? Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast hosted by Isaac Ransom, Juzo Greenwood, and Cameron Tuttle.

Tonight on Triple Feature, we're covering three football movies from the late '80s and '90s that approach the sport from very different angles: Varsity Blues, The Program, and Necessary Roughness.Varsity Blues, directed by Brian Robbins and written by W. Peter Iliff, was released in 1999, stars James Van Der Beek, Jon Voight, Paul Walker, and Scott Caan, and made about $54 million on a roughly $16 million budget. It's the small-town Texas football movie — pressure, injuries, and a tyrant coach — that became a cult staple.The Program, released in 1993, was directed by David S. Ward and stars James Caan, Omar Epps, Craig Sheffer, Kristy Swanson, and Halle Berry. It aimed for a darker, more realistic look at college football, steroids, and exploitation, grossing around $23 million and becoming best known for its controversies rather than its box office.And Necessary Roughness, from 1991, directed by Stan Dragoti, stars Scott Bakula, Robert Loggia, Sinbad, and Kathy Ireland. It's the disgraced-team rebuild comedy, made for about $13 million and earning roughly $25 million, and it helped codify a formula Hollywood would reuse endlessly.Three movies, three tones, three decades of football storytelling — let's get into it.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

The movie Misery (1990) is one of the best Stephen King movie adaptations ever made. Directed by Rob Reiner, the film is anchored by unforgettable performances from James Caan as Paul Sheldon and Kathy Bates as Annie Wilkes—a role that's become iconic in horror and thriller cinema. Set mostly in a single room, Misery shows how smart directing, tight pacing, and strong acting can create nonstop tension. We talk about the film's clever filmmaking, its most unforgettable scenes, and why it remains a perfect example of suspense-driven storytelling done right.Stick around until the end of the discussion for a short round of trivia!Safe travels, nomads.

Rob Reiner directs his second Stephen King adaptation in the Academy Award-winning thriller, Misery. - Finally, we explore a film that blends all that makes a Rob Reiner film great; comedy, adventure, and romance are all on display in The Princess Bride.What is your favorite Rob Reiner film? ❗️SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE ❗️Support the showSign up for our Patreon for exclusive Bonus Content.Follow the podcast on Instagram @gimmethreepodcastYou can keep up with Bella on Instagram @portraitofacinephile or Letterboxd You can keep up with Nick: on Instagram @nicholasybarra, on Twitter (X) @nicholaspybarra, or on LetterboxdShout out to contributor and producer Sonja Mereu.

Rest In Peace Rob ReinerCommemorating not only the 35th Anniversary of an iconic adaptation of the popular Stephen King novel of the same name but the recent tragic loss of its director Rob Reiner who was in the middle of a sterling run of instant classics (When Harry Met Sally, The Princess Bride, A Few Good Men, Stand By Me) at the time of this film's release.  It's the simple story of fictional best-selling author Paul Sheldon (Oscar-nominee James Caan) who gets severely injured and incapacitated after accidently driving off of a snow road one day in the mountains after finishing his latest novel.  Fortunately he's found by a local retired nurse named Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates in the role which won her the Oscar for Best Actress) who gradually nurses him back to health....or DOES she?

DEFENDANT: Buddy the Elf EVIDENCE: Manos Wines Special Edition "Elf" Prosecco SCENE OF THE CRIME: From the North Pole all the way to Manhattan and back again!  -- Hey — glad you made it to our cozy chaos. This episode is basically two things: a heavy pour of festive Prosecco (shoutout to the blingy Manos bottle) and a full-on, goofy love letter to Elf — plus the ridiculous trivia and fan theories that make holiday movies feel like family. We talk traditions, awkward childhood rituals, terrible gift-control impulses, and why some of our favorite seasonal things still hit like warm nostalgia.   We nerd out about Elf like it's evidence in a case: Jon Favreau's direction, Will Ferrell's enormous golden-retriever energy, Zooey Deschanel's surprise musical cameo, James Caan's grumpy-dad groove, and even that weird Central Park ranger theory that adds a darker layer if you let it. There are shower scenes, department store mayhem, real-life crowd reactions caught on film, and a few production easter eggs (Wanda name tags and stop-motion nods) that are delightfully silly.   Also: yes, we taste the Prosecco. It's festive, metallic, and exactly what you want for toasts — light, apple-y, and not too sweet. We compare it to champagne, Cava, and whatever else you line up on a party table while you argue whether donut holes count as zero calories and whether sparkling wine and popcorn are an acceptable holiday combo. (They are.)   We get real about the season, too. If you're feeling pressure to show up for people who drain you, hear us: you don't have to. Treat holiday plans like a dinner party you actually want to attend. Set boundaries, keep what's meaningful, and let the rest go. If all else fails, borrow Buddy the Elf's wide-eyed wonder for a few minutes — it's the best kind of permission slip to feel joy again.   So pour yourself something fizzy, fold a little ridiculousness into your traditions, and enjoy the stories — goofy, tender, and truer than you might expect. From our cramped, sparkly loft to wherever you're nesting this season: happy holidays, however you celebrate. Cheers.

Laci and Matt are joined by their friends AJ and Kristie from the In Love With Horror podcast to go through the history of the modern Christmas classic Elf (2003).   First, the podcast goes through the history of the movie, starting as a spec script in the '90s with Jim Carrey vaguely attached. It entered development hell for years before being revived with Will Ferrell and Jon Favreau, before ultimately becoming the classic it is today... one that you just know Warner Bros is threatening to turn into a cinematic universe at any second.

The snow is falling, the logs are crackling on the fire, and Kathy Bates is about to break your ankles so you can't escape her love. Also, you better rewrite your whole novel while writhing in excruciating pain. MISERY (1990) has a reputation which precedes it, as does our host this week, friend and author Erik J. Brown! Of course we would have a writer come on to discuss how bad it would suck to be in James Caan's shoes. Baby it's cold outside (but you might not want to come in)!

Sugar, Cheer, and Corporate Trauma – Elf (2003)This week on Bad Dads Film Review, we crack open a modern Christmas classic and ask the hard questions: how much maple syrup is too much maple syrup, and is Christmas cheer a viable alternative energy source?Our main feature is Elf (dir. Jon Favreau), the 2003 festive juggernaut that turned Will Ferrell into a full-blown Christmas institution. Ferrell plays Buddy, a human accidentally raised as an elf at the North Pole, who travels to New York to find his real father – a joyless publishing exec played with peak deadpan misery by James Caan.We get into:Why Elf works when so many studio Christmas comedies don'tFerrell's perfectly calibrated performance: total sincerity, zero cynicismThe fish-out-of-water chaos of Buddy vs New York (elevators, taxis, raccoons)Corporate burnout, absent fathers, and why this is secretly a film about emotional illiteracyZooey Deschanel's Jovie as the anti-manic-pixie manic pixiePeter Dinklage's Miles Finch: tiny man, nuclear rageForced perspective, stop-motion throwbacks, and Bob Newhart quietly holding the whole thing togetherWe also talk Elf on the Shelf fatigue, Christmas parenting arms races, and why forgetting to move a plastic elf at 6am is more stressful than most full-time jobs.Yes, the ending leans hard into mass sing-along cheer-powered magic. Yes, it's shameless. But Elf earns it by committing fully to warmth, kindness, and the radical idea that being nice to people might actually matter.A rare Christmas movie that works for kids, parents, and deeply cynical adults who swear they “hate festive films” but somehow still quote this one every December.Strong recommend.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

In this explosive episode of Gangland Wire, host Gary Jenkins sits down with actor, entrepreneur, and mob insider Gianni “Johnny” Russo, best known for his unforgettable role as Carlo Rizzi in The Godfather. Russo pulls back the curtain on a lifetime of stories that stretch from Frank Costello and Joe Colombo to Las Vegas skimming, the Vatican Bank, Marilyn Monroe, Jimmy Hoffa, and even Pablo Escobar. Russo discusses his new book, Mafia Secrets: Untold Tales from the Hollywood Godfather, co-written with Michael Benson—an unfiltered account of power, violence, politics, and survival inside the criminal underworld and Hollywood royalty. This is not recycled mythology—this is Gianni Russo's personal version of history from the inside. Whether you believe every word or not, the stories are raw, violent, and utterly fascinating. This episode discusses: The Godfather, The Kennedy assassinations, Vegas skimming, Marilyn Monroe, Jimmy Hoffa, the Chicago Outfit, Pablo Escobar
