Unser Jahresrückblick | Das Filmjahr 2025 Das Filmjahr 2025 ist so gut wie vorbei – Zeit, innezuhalten und zurückzublicken: auf einen draufgängerischen Brad Pitt, der in "F1" allen davonrast, auf Jason Statham, der gewohnt stoisch Statham-Dinge erledigt (grimmig schauen, böse Leute aus dem Weg räumen), auf einen Pedro Pascal, der gefühlt in jeder zweiten Produktion auftauchte, und auf eine Armada an Blockbustern, die das Kino erobern wollten, aber längst nicht alle Eindruck hinterließen. Gleiches gilt für das Arthouse-Segment, das zwischen Drama, Komödie und Horror pendelte und ebenfalls nicht nur Volltreffer landete. Ja, 2025 war pickepackevoll – doch was blieb wirklich hängen? War im Streaming tatsächlich alles ernüchternd oder gab es im Kino selbst mehr Tiefpunkte als Glanzmomente? Genau diesen Fragen geht Johannes mit seiner Crew um Lida, Sero und Till im XXL-Jahresrückblick des Tele-Stammtisch nach. Und weil die Redaktion des Tele-Stammtischs bekanntlich locker mehrere Kleingruppen-Tickets füllen kann, gibt es außerdem von ganz vielen Redakteur:innen ihre persönlichen Highlights als Einspieler. Und auf eines könnt ihr euch sowieso freuen: Meinungen, Diskussionen, Analysen, Nostalgie und unterschiedliche Stimmen. War 2025 ein starkes Filmjahr oder eher eines zum Abhaken? Hört den Podcast und findet es heraus. Viel Spaß mit dem ultimativen Jahresrückblick von uns!

This week on Movie Mistrial, we dive into the chaotic, kinetic, and endlessly quotable underworld of Guy Ritchie's Snatch.Snatch crackles with energy, attitude, and razor-sharp humor. With its ensemble cast—including unforgettable turns from Brad Pitt, Jason Statham, and Benicio del Toro—Ritchie crafts a fast-paced, stylish crime caper that balances gritty violence with ironic wit. Its nonlinear storytelling and punchy editing make it one of the most entertaining entries in the British gangster genre.Despite its cult popularity, some viewers find Snatch overly hectic or stylized to the point of distraction. Its rapid-fire dialogue, thick accents, and sprawling cast of characters can be overwhelming, and its narrative may feel more like a clever collage than a cohesive story.Join us as we decipher the chaos of Snatch. Is it a slick, swagger-filled gem—or a whirlwind of style that leaves some audiences behind?Connect with us and share your thoughts:Twitter: http://tiny.cc/MistrialTwitter

DeHuff pitches a bold cinematic vision where the hero solves crime by exclusively shooting bad guys in the junk, instantly dividing America. GameStop's “Trade Anything Day” goes off the rails with reported trade-ins that include a goose and a bobcat, inspiring Cowboy to pitch his own completely unhinged trade-in ideas. In a rare moment of generational unity, DeHuff finds himself agreeing with Gen Z on one thing: spending less money during the holidays might actually be smart. “Jason Statham” (not really) weighs in on an English man fined for spitting out a leaf that blew into his mouth, because bureaucracy is undefeated. The mysterious object 3I Atlas flies past Earth within 167 million miles, prompting Connery to send a heartfelt goodbye message to any potential aliens — while absolutely throwing humanity under the bus. Sports: Patrick Mahomes tears his ACL as the Chiefs are eliminated from playoff contention. Philip Rivers returns from retirement with a serviceable performance, while Cam Newton loudly reminds everyone that he wanted the call from the Colts. The Denver Broncos clinch a playoff berth, and Tony Romo stops by with his trademark commentary. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On Episode 32 of our show "Grindhouse Pizzeria" which is dedicated to all things encompassing various Grindhouse, Drive-In, and Exploitation genres; we will be reviewing and dissecting a true classick of the Roger Corman era with 1975's "DEATH RACE 2000". Directed by Paul Bartel (Eating Raoul and Cannonball!) and starring an array of icons including David Carradine, Sylvester Stallone, Mary Woronov, Don Steele,  and many more. This is a legendary cult film, which spawned a much belated sequel in 2017 titled Death Race 2050 and a remake starring Jason Statham in 2008 (which had its own series of straight to video sequels). It's a truly ridiculous satire tale of a dystopian future where a the new national sport is a cross country road race where the drivers collect points by running down pedestrians. Sound wacky? It has to be seen to be believed!  Our discussion is headed off by our regular hosts Tom Komisar and Cameron Scott! Join the two of them as they take a deep dive dissection of this slice of fried gold exploitation goodness as only Roger Corman could deliver.  Come on in at the Grindhouse Pizzeria, pull up a chair, and grab yourself a slice!   ***There are some audio hiccups (as the weather was up against us at the time of recording) that we tried to edit around and clean up the best we could.

Described by GQ Magazine as "a film producer behind a whole new generation of on-screen hardmen", a 2021 Sothcott profile piece in The Telegraph noted his movies "have saved our film industry."Over the years Sothcott has worked with a galaxy of stars including Ray Winstone, Danny Trejo, Lee Majors, Mark Hamill, Jason Statham, Michael Paré, Steven Berkoff, Richard E Grant, Charlie Cox and Sir Roger Moore.Notable successes amongst his 40+ feature credits include ‘Vendetta', ‘We Still Kill The Old Way' and ‘Renegades'. He set up Shogun Films in 2020 as a genuine international counterpoint of independence and the company has won a slew of awards recognising it's trailblazing approach. He has over 20 years of experience in the British film industry, and we discuss what makes a movie ‘British'?. We also discuss some of the best films of the 1980s, and the established stars at the time. We also discuss his forthcoming movie, ‘Knightfall', currently in post-production:“Charles Knight, a paranoid former spy catcher, must work with his estranged daughter to foil an international terrorist plot, while surviving a terrifying home invasion in this explosive espionage thriller”.Before making his name in feature films, Sothcott produced documentaries and moderated DVD commentaries for numerous cult films, including The Wild Geese.Our topics include:Roger MooreRoger Moore's son, Geoffrey MooreIan Ogilvy - an English actor, playwright and novelist best known as the star of the television series Return of the Saint (1978–79), in which he assumed the role of Simon Templar from Roger Moore (1962-69)The Fourth Protocol (1987) starring Pierce Brosnan and Micheal Caine, based on the 1984 book by British novelist Frederick Forsyth The debt that modern action movies owe to traditional 007 films The Wild Geese (1978) with Roger Moore, John Glen (second unit director) and Ewan Lloyd (producer)Joan Armatrading wrote and recorded the theme songIngrid Pitt, Polish-British actress and writer, most famous for her role in ‘Where Eagles Dare' but also appeared in The Wild Geese IIThe Sea Wolves (1980), Gregory Peck, Roger Moore and David NivenEwan Lloyd – BFI: “Lloyd stood alone within the depressed British film industry of the late 1970s and early 1980s as a producer with the self-belief, charisma and bluff to mount large-scale independent action-adventure films, such as The Wild Geese (1978) and Who Dares Wins (1982)". Lewis Collins, star of the TV movie, ‘Who Dares Wins' (1982), also known as The Final Option, the star was the tabloid's favourite for ‘next James Bond' for some years due to his action star credentials   David Wickes, TV producer best known for his work on ‘The Sweeny' ‘The Professionals', and ‘CI5: The New Professionals'Jonathan recommends the TV show, ‘Roger Moore: A Matter of Class', which is available to watch on Youtube.Finally, we discuss he state of the British film industry, and the way ahead.Visit the website: https://albionneverdies.com/Support the show

Craig Collins remains in for Greg Corombos, and he and Jim wrap up the week by looking at the lighter side of the likely national repercussions if, as expected, Zohran Mamdani is elected as mayor of New York City, examine an unjustifiable pardon from President Trump, and close out by questioning the choices of an allegedly “woke” update to the musical Damn Yankees. First, Craig and Jim start off with the inverse of yesterday's bad Martini, looking at polling numbers that indicate Mamdani is exceptionally unpopular outside of New York City, even among independents and Democrats. “The results are grim for Mamdani. Among self-identified Democrats and Independents alike and among voters at large, his numbers are actually considerably worse than those of Newsom, Ocasio-Cortez, and Harris.” And let's face it, it's not easy to be less popular than Kamala Harris these days. Next, President Trump has made an unpardonable pardon of Changpeng Zhao, the convicted founder of the crypto exchange Binance,. There aren't a lot of large financial institutions that are willing to do work with al-Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, ransomware hackers, and kiddie-porn enthusiasts, all simultaneously; these are the kinds of guys who usually end up portrayed as the villains in Jason Statham movies. Finally, in more discussion of musical theater than you ever expected on this podcast, Craig and Jim examine a new revival of the musical Damn Yankees that adds a new racial component to the story, making the main character, Joe Boyd, take the deal because of memories of his father, “a minor league baseball player who was kept out of the major leagues because he was black.” Jim notes this undermines the musical's original theme that our family and loved ones are more important than the temptations fame and fortune, while Craig observes that the devilish seductive harlot being played by a white actress now adds an uncomfortable implication to Boyd's temptation. Please visit our great sponsors:Get 20% off your first purchase of classic menswear.

Send us a textA pop-up asked for a photo just to watch a video, and that's where everything exploded. Arizona's new age-verification rules for adult sites triggered a cascade of roadblocks, workarounds, and big questions about privacy, identity, and who deserves our data. We swap stories about phones that blur content, fire sticks that sneak through, and platforms demanding ID photos or credit cards. The vibe is funny and chaotic, but the stakes are real: how do adults prove they're adults without handing a stranger the keys to their identity?From there, we zoom out. AI deepfakes get a hard look—not just for NSFW use, but for fake trailers, synthetic music, and the way impersonation can wreck trust at scale. If verification is here to stay, what's the least invasive way to do it? Could anonymous age tokens or privacy-preserving third parties help? We don't claim to solve it, but we put the right questions on the table: minimize data, verify only what's necessary, and demand transparency from any vendor that wants your face or card.We balance the heavy with the nostalgic: classic movie anniversaries like The Last Dragon and Purple Rain, a debate on sequels versus standalones, and a run through action staples—from Blade to Jason Statham's best. Then it's wrestling time, connecting the old territory days and masked legends to today's micro wrestling spectacle. Across it all, the theme is clear: people want authentic fun without jumping through endless digital hoops, and they want to protect their privacy while they're at it.Hit play for a lively roundtable that blends tech policy, culture, and comedy—plus a few ridiculous detours that'll make your day.

The underworld is crowded with thieves, but Parker has always stood apart. Created by Donald Westlake in the early 1960s, the character has been portrayed on screen by actors including Lee Marvin, Mel Gibson, and Jason Statham. He's a blunt-force professional who isn't Bond, isn't Batman, but something rougher, hungrier, and coded by his own ruthless blue-collar sense of order. With "Play Dirty," filmmaker Shane Black takes his own crack at Parker, bringing the character to Prime Video on October 1 and casting Mark Wahlberg in the role. The film follows Parker, a ruthless thief, and his expert crew who stumble onto the heist of a lifetime that pits them against the New York mob. The film also stars LaKeith Stanfield, Rosa Salazar, Keegan-Michael Key, Nat Wolff, and more. This version doesn't come with gadgets or acrobatics. Black describes a Parker who thinks fast, hits harder, and feels closer to the blue-collar world than to the spy fantasy. It's the kind of material that lets him indulge his taste for pulp grit, sly humor, and the holiday backdrop he's made famous. But it also opens the door to some bigger questions: what draws audiences to men this uncompromising? How do you make crime fun without sanding off the edges? And what happens when you cast Wahlberg instead of Robert Downey Jr.?READ MORE: ‘All Of You': Brett Goldstein On Love, The Science of Soulmates, ‘Shrinking' Surprises, & ‘Ted Lasso' [The Discourse Podcast]Writer/Director Shane Black joins The Discourse to talk about the journey of bringing his Parker film to the screen, which started all the way back during the making of Black's first film, “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” in 2005. When asked what itch hadn't been scratched by earlier adaptations, Black pointed to Parker's uniqueness. “Each one represents the era in which it was produced. 'Point Blank' with Lee Marvin is a very specific film for that time period. And each actor who's played Parker from there on, like Robert Duvall, Jason Statham, and Mel Gibson in "Payback." There has been a history of incarnations of this powerful, relentless character. But he's not James Bond, which is why I liked him. He's sort of blue collar. It's almost like an American entrepreneur's story. But he happens to be a really awful, bad person and a criminal anti-hero.”

Boaz Yakin is a New York City–born filmmaker, screenwriter, and producer known for his versatile work across indie dramas, mainstream hits, genre films, and TV. He began his career young, selling his first screenplay (The Punisher) at 19, and quickly made a name for himself with gritty urban stories and emotionally resonant character work.Boaz directed Remember the Titans with Denzel Washington, Safe starring Jason Statham, Max, Uptown Girls, A Price Above Rubies, Death in Love and his indie horror mystery Boarding School among many others.Beyond directing, as a writer, his credits include The Rookie, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, and Now You See Me. He is also the executive producer and writer for the noir Apple TV+ series Lady in the Lake, and was executive producer of Hostel and Hostel 2 as one of the founding members of Raw Nerve alongside Eli Roth.As impressive as this intro is, it still reflects only a small portion of Boaz's prolific, extensive, and diverse body of work.In this conversation, Boaz discusses his career as well as his evolution as a filmmaker, the challenges of working within and outside the Hollywood system, and why his favorite films are guided less by career strategy and more by creative curiosity. He also discusses how the key to rewarding work in cinema is chasing meaning, not validation.This was a pretty awesome conversation that I was very honored to have with Boaz. Big thanks to my friend Scott Rose for putting us in touch. Without further ado, strap in, and get ready for this conversation with writer, director, and producer Boaz Yakin.Key TakeawaysLearn Script AnalysisBoaz sold his first script at 19, but he didn't just stumble into success or a superior storytelling ability — he was steeped in story from an early age. Growing up in a theatrical household and attending Stella Adler's famed script analysis classes during high school gave him a formidable foundation in character, psychology, and subtext. This background trained him to understand the deeper currents beneath the text, a skill that directly influenced his ability to write sellable screenplays at such a young age and launch his career before he could even buy a drink.This education also proved invaluable for Boaz as a director. Stella Adler taught that actors — and by extension, writers and directors — must understand every facet of a character's environment: their culture, their religion, the tone of the scene and even the weather. These contextual details inform performance and behavior and are the difference between movies and cinema.For filmmakers, building full character and environmental context informs every decision on set. The key lesson here is the importance of foundational education because learning the principles of story and writing can pay long-term dividends.Open Heart / Thick SkinOne of the most revealing points Boaz made was about the emotional toll of directing. Filmmakers are constantly having to say no to other creative collaborators — costume designers, cinematographers, actors — in order to preserve the vision of the film. Balancing that responsibility while also keeping your team inspired and not demoralized requires not only leadership, but emotional stamina and clarity of purpose.Boaz notes that many successful directors tend to have narcissistic tendencies, which buffer them from the guilt or sensitivity that might get in the way of making tough decisions — but this can harm your work just as much as being a pushover. Being empathetic makes you a better artist and can help your work resonate with more people. What Boaz teaches us here is that in addition to being emotionally resilient, directors must be emotionally intelligent. It's a balance you must...

Plus, they share a bonus deleted scene from our Kraven the Hunter live show and announce next week's new movie.  Help save the Institute of Museum & Library Services at: www.artsworkersunited.com/take-action-save-the-imlsSubmit your Last Looks theme song to us here Get tix for our May 9th Toronto show at hdtgm.comHave a correction or omission for Last Looks?
