Podcast appearances and mentions of James Woods

James Woods is a con man you desperately want to punch, Louis Gossett Jr. fights 10 men at 48 years old, and Gene somehow thought this was a New Jack City knockoff. This week, Steven M. commissions the 1992 sports comedy con film Diggstown, and we ask the question: Is it actually clever, or does everybody in the room just think they are? We break down the complicated long con, the overcrowded cast, a dead man in the locker room that nobody seems particularly upset about, and whether Oliver Platt's truck is the real star of the film. Plus: is Inception a hustle movie? Would you fight Louis Gossett Jr.? And Dick watches every movie twice now, apparently.

Any Given Sunday Review | Born to Watch PodcastOur Any Given Sunday Review takes the Born to Watch boys back to 1999 for Oliver Stone's chaotic, testosterone-fuelled dive into the world of professional football. Featuring Al Pacino, Jamie Foxx, Dennis Quaid and peak Cameron Diaz, Any Given Sunday promised everything a sports movie fan could want. But does it still hold up, or is this one all style and no substance?Whitey, Dan and special guest Will strap on the shoulder pads and revisit Oliver Stone's divisive NFL epic. What starts as a love letter to sports movies quickly turns into an examination of shaky cameras, over-the-top editing, giant egos and one of the most exhausting viewing experiences the boys have tackled in a while.Al Pacino brings his trademark intensity as veteran coach Tony D'Amato, desperately trying to hold together the Miami Sharks while battling a ruthless owner, rebellious players and a rapidly changing game. Jamie Foxx bursts onto the scene as Willie Beamen, the backup quarterback who suddenly becomes a superstar, while Dennis Quaid delivers a solid performance as ageing veteran Cap Rooney.Along the way, the boys discuss why Oliver Stone seems determined to assault your eyeballs with every editing trick imaginable. From subliminal gladiator imagery to frantic camera work and changing film stock, Whitey wonders whether the movie is trying too hard to be profound. Dan compares it to Natural Born Killers and argues that Stone's style overwhelms the actual story.The conversation naturally branches out into memories of 1999, drunken phone calls, encounters with Elizabeth Berkley, backup quarterbacks becoming heroes, and whether there is a more pressure-filled position in sport than an NFL quarterback.There's also plenty of appreciation for the stacked cast. James Woods shines as the dodgy doctor, LL Cool J delivers one of the biggest dickheads in sports movie history, and Lawrence Taylor proves real athletes can occasionally act. Meanwhile, Cameron Diaz splits the room, with Whitey refusing to give prime Diaz a quickfire vote despite the objections of everyone else.As always, the boys go deep into the IMDb ratings, box office numbers and critical reviews before throwing around comparisons to Varsity Blues, Office Space, American Beauty and other classics from the legendary year of 1999.But the biggest question remains. Is Any Given Sunday a genuine sports classic, or is it simply a two-and-a-half-hour migraine wrapped in slow motion and Kid Rock?One thing is certain. Whether they're discussing football strategy, Oliver Stone's obsession with gladiators or the horrors of professional athlete fashion, Whitey, Dan and Will once again prove that no movie is safe when it lands on Born to Watch.Join the TeamLove movies? Love ridiculous debates? Join the Born to Watch community and become part of the conversation. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and follow us on social media for new episodes, movie polls and plenty of laughs. Because at Born to Watch, we don't take movies or ourselves too seriously.#BornToWatch #AnyGivenSunday #OliverStone #AlPacino #JamieFoxx #DennisQuaid #SportsMovies #MoviePodcast #FilmReview #NFLMovies

James Woods ballert sich als Vampirjäger Jack Crow durch den amerikanischen Südwesten: In den ClasSicks nehmen sich Mike und Korbi John Carpenters "Vampires" von 1998 vor, einen kompromisslosen Horror-Western, der mit dem romantischen Gothic-Vampir nichts am Hut hat. Mike kennt den Film noch aus dem Kino und liebt ihn seit über 25 Jahren, Korbi sieht ihn zum allerersten Mal. Es geht um den ultracoolen Score, handgemachte Splatter-Effekte ganz ohne CGI, Thomas Ian Griffith als Meistervampir Valek und die berüchtigt zynischen James-Woods-Sprüche. Dazu Parallelen zu Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, die deutsche Indizierungs-Geschichte und natürlich der Triple Threat.

This week on Friday Night Frightfest, we're trading pure terror for some classic meta-commentary and a whole lot of "Wazzup!" In anticipation of the Scary Movie reboot coming out this year, we are going back to the duo that started the parody phenomenon. We're comparing the original slasher-skewering Scary Movie (2000) with its supernatural-themed sequel Scary Movie 2 (2001). Grab your popcorn and watch out for the killer—if he isn't too busy getting high! Scary Movie (2000) Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, the first Scary Movie took the late-90s horror resurgence and turned it on its head. Primarily lampooning the meta-horror of Scream and the "guilty secret" trope of I Know What You Did Last Summer, the film follows Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris) and her group of deeply dim-witted friends as they are stalked by a masked killer. From the opening Drew Barrymore parody with Carmen Electra to the "Shorty" (Marlon Wayans) stoner gags, it's a relentless barrage of slapstick and gross-out humor that somehow manages to perfectly capture the aesthetic of the films it's making fun of. Scary Movie 2 (2001) The sequel, released just a year later, pivots away from slashers and dives into the world of supernatural and haunted house horror. Taking its main plot from the 1999 remake of The Haunting, the film sees our survivors (joined by new faces like Tori Spelling) invited to "Hell House" by a perverted professor (Tim Curry) for a sleep study. The parodies here are legendary: the Exorcist opening with James Woods, the Poltergeist clown fight, and the infamous "Hanson" (Chris Elliott) and his "strong hand." It's a chaotic, live-action cartoon that pushed the franchise into even weirder, more supernatural territory. Join us as we break down why these films were such massive cultural touchpoints at the turn of the millennium. We'll discuss which parodies hit the mark and which jokes… well, haven't exactly aged like fine wine. Spoilers start around 5:40.

There's something special about early ‘90s boxing movies. They live in that sweet spot between grit and charm—before everything became overly polished, but after the genre had already gone a few rounds with audiences. For Episode 301 of Not A Bomb, we step into the ring with two films that don't always get a title shot: Gladiator (1992) and Diggstown (1992).Here is the tale of the tape: Gladiator (1992)Gladiator comes out swinging with raw, underground energy. It's a coming-of-age story that doesn't pull its punches, following a young fighter caught in a world where every decision feels like going toe-to-toe with disaster.This movie fights in close quarters, dirty, aggressive, and personal. There's no dancing around the ring here. Every hit lands, and you feel it. It's the kind of film that wins on sheer grit… even if it occasionally looks like it forgot the game plan between rounds.Gladiator Rowdy Herrington and stars Cuba Gooding Jr., James Marshall, Robert Loggia, Ossie Davis, and Brain Dennehy.Diggstown (1992)Diggstown, meanwhile, is light on its feet and heavy on charm. It's less about haymakers and more about the long con—built around a bet that feels like the cinematic equivalent of calling your shot before the fight even starts.This film shadowboxes with expectations. It jabs, it dodges, and every now and then it lands a clever uppercut of a twist. It may not hit as hard as Gladiator, but it definitely knows how to score points with the judges (and the audience).Diggstown is directed by Michael Ritchie and stars James Woods, Louis Gossett Jr., Oliver Platt, Heather Graham, Bruce DernWe Want to Hear From YouGot a cinematic flop you want us to tackle?

Ich teile mir die Wanne in dieser Woche mit Filmkritiker und Hans Dampf in allen Gassen Stefan Jung (www.filmcontext.de)), wo wir ein Wechselbad der Gefühle nehmen. Denn eigentlich war unsere Begeisterung für den etwas gemächlichen Blown Away (1994) von Stephen Predator 2 Hopkins nicht allzu, nun, explosiv. Das änderte sich allerdings nach dem Wiedersehen mit dem thematisch ähnlich bombigen The Specialist (1994), der außer einer völlig entfesselten Schauspielleistung von James Woods und dem Schaulaufen der Hollywoodkörper von Sly Stallone und Sharon Stone nicht viel zu bieten hat. Im Vergleich dazu guckt sich Blown Away nämlich wie ein feurig loderndes Meisterwerk! Zum Glück macht aber selbst eine filmische Gurke Spaß, wenn man sie mit Stefan genießt. Und dann wären da ja noch zweieinhalb sehr kompetente Explosionen und ein besoffener Jeff Bridges im Whirlpool …

On the latest episode of A Life In Movies, the movie interview podcast by All The Right Movies, we're talking to legendary actor James Woods.With a career spanning five decades, James has built a reputation as one of cinema's most compelling performers. An actor drawn to morally complex characters and unafraid to inhabit the darkest corners of human nature. A two-time Academy Award nominee with multiple Emmy wins to his name, his filmography reads like a masterclass in intensity.Speaking to us from Los Angeles, James takes us through the key moments that shaped his remarkable career. From his early days studying Political Science at MIT before the pull of acting proved too strong, to his film debut working with the legendary Elia Kazan. We dive deep into five landmark films: David Cronenberg's prophetic body-horror Videodrome, Sergio Leone's epic Once Upon a Time in America opposite Robert De Niro, Oliver Stone's raw and urgent Salvador (which earned him his first Oscar nomination), the action-comedy The Hard Way with Michael J. Fox, and Martin Scorsese's Casino where he brought the slippery Lester Diamond to unforgettable life.James also shares insights into his approach to those morally ambiguous characters that have become his trademark, his acclaimed television work, the compelling story behind his Executive Producer credit on Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer and his most recent artistic endeavour in music. A fascinating conversation with one of American cinema's most distinctive talents.Connect with ATRM: To join our fantastic community of film fans, support what we do, access our archive, listen to exclusive episodes, and a whole lot more, become an ATRM patron:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the ATRM Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ We're available on any podcast platform:Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠We're across all major social channels too:Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ATRightMovies⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@allthe_rightmovies ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our movie group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@alltherightmovies.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@alltherightmovies⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠alltherightmovies.com⁠⁠

This week we're joined by actor, drag queen, and Debbie Harry fanatic, Love Connie, for a look at David Cronenberg's sexy and sadistic meditation on horror, television, and society: Videodrome. The early 1980s saw a revolution in consumer video. Small UHF stations broadcast trashy movies at night to compete with the larger VHF networks. VCRs and cable introduced theatrical films to the home market uncut for broadcast. Canadian media theorist, Marshall McLuhan, had some real deep thoughts on what that would mean for our society and how it would change our consciousness. Cronenberg saw a movie in there and he cast James Woods and Debbie Harry as pawns in a game played by shadowy figures using television signals to physically transform the viewers. Max Renn is an executive for CIVIC-TV, a small UHF station in Toronto, a station that broadcast violent and pornographic content. He's on the lookout for the next sensation that'll broaden his audience and he stumbles on to what appears to be a snuff show called Videodrome.

More than 20 years before Luigi Mangione became a controversial celebrity, Denzel Washington was taking on the American healthcare system in JOHN Q - a thrilling hostage flick that might have been a bit too challenging for movie critics, leading to a rotten 26% Tomatometer score. Listen to Alex & Julio as they discuss the many twists and turns embedded in health insurance and wonder if it's okay to still like James Woods as an actor.TIMELINE00:01:24 John Q00:06:44 Contrarians Corner- Wanna know how we really feel about JOHN Q?

So far, there have been three arrests of the main organizers of the Minneapolis church protesters, but a judge ruled they couldn't arrest Don Lemon because he's a "journalist". Even without a Don Lemon arrest we all agree with James Woods when he called Lemon, America's Dingleberry. The latest sob and/or horror story the liberal media has been pushing to villainize ICE is the "arrest" of a five-year-old boy, but we break it down and reveal the truth behind this story. Plus, dems say Trump was horrible in Davos, Jack Smith taken to the woodshed, clowns, and we wrap it all up with our weekly Prayer to Our Heavenly Father.

Acclaimed actor James Woods joins TWIHI for a candid conversation that goes far beyond his iconic film roles. Woods addresses his cancellation from Hollywood and how it inspired his life's second act, making music. He also recounts a shocking, nearly fatal accident involving a walk through a glass door, and he doesn't pull any punches when it comes to letting us know what he thinks about how Gavin Newsom has handled the aftermath of the Palisades Fire.  Big thanks to our terrific sponsors K12.com/Rowe Find a tuition-free K12-powered school near you.

Megyn Kelly is joined by James Woods, actor and musician behind "Tombstone Opera," to discuss the true damage from Don Lemon and his agitator friends with their church service stunt, how they are a distraction from the real scandal of the fraud in Minnesota, Lemon now lying about his role in the church disruption, his awful comments trashing the innocent parishioners, the left's constant racial focus, Pam Grier's questionable comments about witnessing lynchings, and more. Then Britt Mayer, host of "The Britt Mayer Show," and Will Witt, author of "Do Not Comply," join to discuss what's really behind the rise of whining and narcissistic leftists, how they need a better sense of purpose and a makeover, the shocking accusations in viral posts by David and Victoria Beckham's son against his parents, the complicated issue of when parents have problems with their child's spouse, Michelle Obama saying everyone must make sure their closet has black designers in it, her obsessions with racializing everything, and more. Woods- https://open.spotify.com/album/4l5BLz81XsYgzMlLCzWOaWMayer- https://open.spotify.com/show/6ej8rWH1AxG6q8i00Q9Izk?si=Witt- https://www.amazon.com/Do-Not-Comply-Americas-Corrupt/dp/1546005587/ Birch Gold: Text MK to 989898 and get your free info kit on goldMelania: Go behind the scenes of power and precision—watch MELANIA, only in theaters January 30; get your tickets today!All Family Pharmacy: Order now at https://allfamilypharmacy.com/MEGYN and save 10% with code MEGYN10ARMRA: go to https://tryarmra.com/MEGYNto get 30% off your first subscription order  Follow The Megyn Kelly Show on all social platforms:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/MegynKellyTwitter: http://Twitter.com/MegynKellyShowInstagram: http://Instagram.com/MegynKellyShowFacebook: http://Facebook.com/MegynKellyShow Find out more information at:https://www.devilmaycaremedia.com/megynkellyshow Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Programa de Par-Impar dedicado a la comedia de acción Colegas a la fuerza, con Michael J. Fox y James Woods. Nuevo programa del podcast de cine de esRadio, Par-Impar, dedicado en este caso a la comedia de acción de 1991 titulada en España Colegas a la fuerza, donde el duro policía de Nueva York interpretado por James Woods debe soportar a un actor de Hollywood que le quiere tomar de modelo, papel que recae en el pizpireta Michael J. Fox recién salido de las secuelas de Regreso al Futuro. En el programa, Juanma y Dani conversan sobre la comedia dirigida por John Badham (Cortocircuíto, Fiebre del sábado noche), una muestra típica del cine de colegas o buddy-movies de los ochenta y noventa, sobre todo policiales, pero que esconde todo tipo de placeres para aquel que sepa y quiera apreciarlas. En el caso de Colegas a la fuerza, la incorrección política típica de los títulos de la época, al menos desde la mirada actual, y sobre todo un componente paródico de Hollywood y el propio género que anticipa lo que otras películas harían después.

This week, we're wondering how far is too far with 1988's "Cop." We talk about the violent noir thriller starring James Woods as the world's worst detective, and how his over-the-top (and illegal) methods and morally bankrupt character feel too real in 2026. Listen now.

John Carpenter was ready to retire after escape to LA but making this film with James Woods allowed him to enjoy filmmaking again and it's easy to see why.

Safe home, Rob Reiner. Our favorite Reiner movies. His activism was beyond courageous. Donald's hideous response on Troth Senchul and in the Oval Office. The MAGA backlash against Donald. The replies on Troth Senchul. Nick Fuentes and James Woods condemned Donald's reaction. The major takeaways from the two-part Susie Wiles Vanity Fair piece. Wiles says Trump “has an alcoholic's personality.” The BLS jobs report for November is dismal. Donald confesses prices will never return to 2019. As predicted, the Republicans blocked a floor vote on ACA subsidies. You were warned about the Epstein files, Trump voters. Electricity is 13 percent more expensive since Donald took office. With Jody Hamilton, David Ferguson, music by Cookie, Jesse Terry, and more!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It may be that bad mouthing a beloved American Icon on he day he died is too much for even Trump to overcome. Usually, the public expects cruelty from Trump and his outbursts bring a collective shrug. His nasty words about actor/director Rob Reiner being killed because of Trump Derangement Syndrome seem to have been a bridge too far.  Even some MAGA faithful are turning away and finding it hard to defend Trump this time.  We will talk about it with Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston.  It's Tech Tuesday and Jefferson Graham is back from from Japan and ready to talk gadgets.  The Mark Thompson Show 12/16/25Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

Noirvember closes with James B. Harris's Cop (1988)—the first time James Ellroy's feverish fiction hit the big screen. Mike teams with Andrew Nette and Rod Lott for a deep read of Harris's adaptation, where James Woods's unhinged Detective Lloyd Hopkins hunts a killer across eighteen years of buried violence.The trio digs into Ellroy's original novel Blood on the Moon and the wilder, abandoned incarnation that came before it—L.A. Death Trip, the unsold, manuscript that first birthed Hopkins. Using material from Ellroy's own accounts and critical studies (including the brute-force early drafts, the rewrites demanded by Otto Penzler and Nat Sobel, and the shift to publishable structure), the conversation maps how a doomed finale turned into a tight serial-killer pursuit.The episode also features a new interview with James B. Harris, who breaks down the challenges of translating Ellroy's structure, keeping Hopkins's mania intact, and staying faithful to the narrative rhythms of the novel. What emerges is a portrait of a filmmaker wrestling with source material born in chaos—reforged into the dark, abrasive thriller that helped spark decades of Ellroy adaptations.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

Oscar-Winning legend Martin Scorsese (Killers of the Flower Moon, Taxi Driver, The Departed) directs this epic tale about The Rise and Fall of the Mob in Las Vegas, based on true events.  It's the story of how mafia handicapper Sam "Ace" Rothstein (Robert DeNiro) took over the Tangiers casino on The Strip and helped bring it to unprecendented sucess, helped by mafia enforcer Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci).  He falls in love with a local hustler named Ginger McKenna (Sharon Stone) and over time, their relationship deteriorates as does his handle on many crazy things being done by Nicky....and eventually the Mob no longer had power in Las Vegas.  Nominated for one Oscar (Sharon Stone, Best Actress), this was initially met with some disappointment upon release as many compared it to Scorsese's similarly themed classic mob epic Goodfellas from five years prior.  Over time, its reputation has grown thanks to several memorable scenes and performances - the stacked cast also includes James Woods, Don Rickles, Kevin Pollak, Alan King, and Frank Vincent.Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
