Podcast appearances and mentions of Joan Allen

This week, we're talking about PLEASANTVILLE! We discuss a perfect performance by Joan Allen, how this movie makes us extra-resent The Newsroom, and how exactly half of this movie works.   Produced by Andrew Ivimey as part of The From Superheroes Network   Visit www.FromSuperheroes.com for more podcasts, articles, video series, web comics, and more.

In Netflix's 6-part series ZERO DAY, Robert De Niro plays a former U.S President with cognitive issues (who chose not to run for reelection), and Angela Bassett is a current U.S. President with a great wardrobe. Together they must figure out who perpetrated the greatest, deadliest hack in U.S. history! Well, actually, it's mostly just De Niro doing the figuring and the outing. Joan Allen, Jesse Plemons, and Connie Britton round out De Niro's inner circle, while Lizzy Caplan and Matthew Modine are members of congress "just asking questions" about De Niro's investigative operation. But the biggest, most pressing question of all... Why does Ben feel the need to do his Randy Newman impression in this episode?! Find us on BlueSky, Threads, or Instagram -- or email us at fakepresidents [at] gmail.com -- to join the convo!

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay give each other face-hand waterfalls while talking about one of the most ludicrously unhinged studio films of all-time, 'Face/Off.' Kicking things off in typical John Woo fashion, Andy opens with a story about being in a drunk driving accident that led to a car flying airborne into a body of water. Then the fellas dive right into one of Nicolas Cage's most deranged performances that is somehow equalled in lunacy by John Travolta amping up the "Travoltage" to 11. The wild face-swapping premise is matched by the actions of Cage's Castor Troy who tongue-kisses anything that moves, while groping all backsides in sight. Among the most nonsensical plot holes was the decision to cast Joan Allen as the swaying-booty wife of Travolta's Sean Archer. There may be pacing issues once we hit the high security metal boot prison, but it all makes for a delightfully unforgettable experience including wonderful faceoffs between two of Hollywood's biggest stars who are both fully committed to the bit. "Plan B, let's just kill each other." The movie even ends with Archer emotionally manipulating his family to adopt the son of the man who killed their own child. Be sure to listen to the end to hear our recommendations for movies to pair with this '90s gonzo classic.

Netflix's latest political thriller, “Zero Day,” is a chilling deep dive into cyber warfare, misinformation, and the terrifying power of perception. Led by Robert De Niro in his first television series, the six-episode event follows former president George Mullen as he's reluctantly pulled back into the political fray to investigate a devastating cyberattack. But as the layers of the crisis unravel, so do the hidden forces manipulating the narrative, turning Mullen into both a hero and a pawn. The series, co-created by Noah Oppenheim, Eric Newman, and Michael Schmidt, features a stellar cast including Jesse Plemons, Lizzy Caplan, Connie Britton, Joan Allen, Dan Stevens, Gaby Hoffmann, Matthew Modine, and Angela Bassett.Director Lesli Linka Glatter helms all six episodes, bringing her experience from “Homeland” and “Love & Death” to craft a nail-biting, visually rich thriller that feels eerily prescient. She joined Bingeworthy to chat about what drew her to the project, collaborating with De Niro, and why truth itself is a weapon in today's world.

On this episode of The Movie Podcast, Daniel and Shahbaz are joined by Matthew Modine and Director Lesli Linka Glatter to discuss ZERO DAY, a political thriller series created by Eric Newman, Noah Oppenheim, and Michael Schmidt for Netflix. Zero Day follows a former President (Robert De Niro) as they investigate a devastating cyberattack in the US. It also stars Jesse Plemons, Lizzy Caplan, Connie Britton, Joan Allen, Angela Bassett, Bill Camp, Dan Stevens, and Gaby Hoffmann. All episodes of Zero Day are now streaming on Netflix.

Robert De Niro headlines this new political conspiracy thriller as a retired president called back into action after a massive cyberattack devastates the nation. Joined by Jesse Plemons, Lizzy Caplan, and Joan Allen, Zero Day boasts a star-studded cast—but does it deliver on its doomsday premise or settle for a slow-moving, boomer fantasy? Tune in as we dissect the pilot's high-profile cameos, debate its critical reception (which spans from “dull misfire” to “suspenseful nail-biter”), and decide whether this series truly captures the tension of modern cyber warfare—or just checks off the big-name box. Welcome to Today's Episode!

Min 5: THE WHITE LOTUS 3: DISECCIÓN EN TAILANDIA Todo llega, se acabó una de las cuentas atrás más esperadas de este 2025. Después de sorprendernos y hacernos disfrutar de un resort en Hawaii en 2021, de dejarnos boquiabiertos en Sicilia en 2022 ahora Mike White nos lleva a Tailandia para seguir deconstruyendo las miserias, secretos y mentiras de los ricos y sus víctimas. Hoy tenemos cita con Raquel Hernández en un bosque tailandés que nos adentrará en los primeros entresijos de "The White Lotus 3". CALIFICACIÓN PARCIAL EDC: 3,75 estrellas Min 19: "DÍA CERO": NETFLIX FICHA A DE NIRO Miniserie de 6 episodios que desarrolla las consecuencias de un ciberataque devastador en Estados Unidos. Ante la gravedad de lo ocurrido, el país se pone en manos de George Mullen (De Niro) el expresidente más apreciado, para que encabece un comité que intentar dar con los autores y sacar la verdad a la luz antes de que se consume un nuevo ataque. Eric Newman dirige una serie en la que acompañan a de Niro rostros tan solventes como los de Jesse Plemons, Lizzy Caplan, Connie Britton, Joan Allen o Mathew Modine. El análisis de esta fuerte apuesta de Netflix nos deja una de las mejores frases de nuestra Rachel: "no expidas cheques que no estés seguro que puedas pagar". CALIFICACIÓN EDC: 3 estrellas Min 26: VUELVE REACHER, JACK REACHER. Reacher es una serie dramática de acción basada en el personaje creado por el escritor británico Lee Child, autor de la saga de novelas súperventas protagonizada por Jack Reacher. Cuando el veterano del ejército de los Estados Unidos Jack Reacher es arrestado por un homicidio que no cometió, pronto se dará cuenta de que está involucrado en una conspiración. Ya está disponible la tercera temporada de una serie emblemática de Prime con un personaje no menos emblemático y musculado con miles de adeptos que ya se celebran su vuelta. CALIFICACIÓN: 3,5 estrellas. Min 31: BSO "PARADISE": EL DELICIOSO TALENTO DE SIDDHARTHA KHOSLA En el diván de las bandas sonoras, Ángel Luque vuelve a dejarse guiar por su olfato musical y nos propone revisar la banda sonora compuesta por el responable de Solo asesinatos en el edificio. Siddhartta Khosla ha sido el encargado de insulflar misterio y elegancia a la serie PARADISE, de Disney, en la que otro ex presidente se ve en una encrucijada tan distópica como la que vive De niro en Día Cero.

Robert DeNiro, Jesse Plemons, Joan Allen, Connie Britton und viele mehr: Selten wartete eine Serie mit einer prominenteren Besetzung auf als der Politthriller "Zero Day" (3:54). Die Netflix-Miniserie von "Narcos"-Macher Eric Newman erzählt von den USA, die nach einer terroristischen Bedrohung einen verehrten Ex-Präsidenten als Chef einer Untersuchungskommission einsetzen. Resultat ist ein Sechsteiler, der teilweise versucht, sich von der aktuellen Realität zu lösen, sich teilweise aber auch extrem an momentane Polit-Archetypen wie Joe Biden, Tucker Carlson und anderen ranhängt. Ist so eine Serie im aktuellen politischen Klima eine Bereicherung oder eine Gefahr? Und vor allen Dingen: Ist das ganze spannend? Darüber diskutieren Michael und Rüdiger mit Holger als neutralem Beobachter. Zu dritt sprechen sie anschließend über die dritte Staffel des Amazon-Hits "Reacher" (28:26), die sich dieses Mal den siebten Roman der Lee-Childs-Reihe vorgenommen hat. Knüpft sie damit wieder an die bessere erste Staffel an? Hat Alan Ritchson endlich gelernt, zu schauspielern? Und was macht der Junge aus den John-Hughes-Filmen da als Gegenspieler? Genug Fragen für eine angeregte Diskussionsrunde. Cold-Open-Frage: "Wen würden wir in True Detective: Staffel 5 besetzen?"

We cover 2000's THE CONTENDER starring Jeff Bridges as a U. S. president sometime between 2007 and 2010. Joan Allen is a senator nominated to fill an open VP slot who refuses to address any allegations of sexual impropriety in her past. Gary Oldman is a congressman trying to destroy her during the confirmation hearings.  Does anyone actually read these show notes? Do we need to mention that Christian Slater, Sam Elliott, William Peterson, Mike Binder, and Saul Rubinek are all in it, too, in order to game some search engines? You know, for all the Rubinek-heads out there? The episode title is a BIG LEBOWSKI reference, since Bridges and Elliott were in that movie. We also considered: The Big Lewinski, Bone Allen, Capitol Gang Bang, and Hearing Impaired.  Did we pick the right one?  LET US KNOW.  Email us at fakepresidents [at] gmail.com.  We're also at Threads, Instagram, and Bluesky.

In this episode, our Year of the Nineties continues as we discuss the chilly 1997 drama from director Ang Lee, "The Ice Storm", starring Kevin Kline, Joan Allen, Sigourney Weaver and many more! Listen now!

"You develop a sense when you get older, if things are going to work out or if they won't, and sometimes it's not worth the mess." October is in the books for 2024 as we are moving into our Thanksgiving Film line up this month and we are kicking it off with a truly underrated drama waiting to be rediscovered. This week we are joining Henrique and David in New Cannan, CT, for a slice of late 90s coming of age cinema. During Thanksgiving weekend in 1973, two Suburban families find their lives go into chaos when their actions all culminate with consequences following an intense ice storm one night in 1997s "The Ice Storm" !Directed by Ang Lee and starring Kevin Kline, Joan Allen, and Sigourney Weaver. Hear your hosts discuss how they stumbled upon the film together back in 2020, why the cinematographer is absolute legend with his resume, how the film touches on adolescence and irresponsibility for both kids and adults, plus Henrique shares stories of shoplifters from his days working in the mall, and did David get the meat sweats after eating many slices of Ham and chasing it with Whiskey?

Time to plug Joan Allen

This week, we continue to run from the CIA in the second installment of the Bourne trilogy, The Bourne Supremacy. Matt Damon is still hot in this movie, but now he must contend with Karl Urban, aka Master of the Riddermark and leader of the Rohirrim (aka hot with short black hair and long blond hair). But that's beside the point, sadly, we return to the world of espionage in the distant land of Europe to find who killed Neski in Berlin! Answer, Jason Bourne in the bedroom with the revolver! But it's never that simple. We've got dumb intelligence officers, spooky snipers, douchey consulate brats, and Celeborn the other Kiwi assassin. Yay? Shout out to Joan Allen for being the boss, the chameleon, the tour de force to make this movie work!

A survivalist (Joe Mantegna) and his friend (Jon Gries) live in his shelter after a nuclear bomb detonation. Also stars Joan Allen and Danica McKellar.

Manhunter - "It's just you & me now, sport!"This week we tackle another film from 1986 that is our cinematic introduction to Hannibal Lecter -  MANHUHNTER (1986). A film that plays with light and color to highlight the push and pull of a man that takes one more job when he's already called it quits. What could go wrong...? Michael Mann directs his muse William Petersen in this tense crime drama with standout performances from Kim Greist, Brian Cox, Tom Noonan & Joan Allen. Support the Show.

Face/Off (1997) Directed By: John Woo Starring: John Travolta, Nicolas Cage, Joan Allen, some pounding fuckers. On social media we asked what Nicolas Cage movie we should take a look at and the response was overwhelmingly tilted in the direction of Face/Off. This 1997 film pits the indelible Mr. Cage against another over-actor of our day, John Travolta in one of the most ridiculous of action movies of that same day. A lot more happens than we remembered and if you didn't know, this movie is over 2 hours... inconceivable! IMDB describes Face/Off as: To foil a terrorist plot, FBI agent Sean Archer assumes the identity of the criminal Castor Troy who murdered his son through facial transplant surgery, but the crook wakes up prematurely and vows revenge. We Also Talked About: Fruit on top of Gas Station Pumps Outlast (Netflix) Dancing with the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult (Netflix) The Breakfast Club (Amazon) Brats (Hulu) Under Paris (Netflix) Sausage Party (Amazon) The Dynasty: New England Patriots (Apple TV+) (Some of the above links are affiliate links, if you purchase through these affiliate links we do get a small kickback, and it's the best way to support this show!).

Again, The Blind Rage Podcast says good-bye to one of horror's most iconic voices, as Stephen King Month 2.0 comes to an end. With this fond farewell, we'll be discussing A GOOD MARRIAGE, a seemingly overlooked adaptation of a novella, which appeared in the 2010 collection FULL DARK, NO STARS. Heavily inspired by the BTK case, Joan Allen stars as Darcy, an ordinary suburban housewife, who discovers that her husband of 25 years is a sadistic killer, preying on women long before their paths even crossed. With his ability to read her better than anyone, Bob (Anthony LaPaglia) immediately knows she's stumbled upon his secret. However, rather than killing her to keep that secret safe, Bob tells her that she can go to the authorities if she so desires, he'll do nothing to stand in her way. But this revelation will not only ruin her life, as no one will believe Darcy hadn't known of his crimes, but it will also ruin the lives of their adult children, whose perception of their kind and loving father will be forever shattered. That was a far too long and clunky sentence, but then again, I'm no Stephen King. Clearly. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blindragepod/message

It's a retro review this week for Movies Merica with the political thriller “The Contender” that flew under the radar when it was released in 2000. It's the story of a political figure that is going to shake things up in Washington D.C. in a way many D.C. power players don't want. As a result, those power players launch an all-out legal and media assault on them to drive them out of D.C. Sound familiar? Joan Allen plays Laine Hanson who is picked as a replacement for the Vice President to Jeff Bridges' President Jackson Evans. This pick causes a stir and Congressman Shelly Runyon, played by a slimy Gary Oldman, comes out guns blazing against Laine. President Evans and his Chief Of Staff, played by Sam Elliott, have to deflect the bullets coming at her especially a big one of an erotic nature from back in her college days. Will Laine withstand the massive smear campaign or will she crumble under the weight of the swamp? Is it worth finding out? Check out my review to find out. “The Contender” also stars Christian Slater, Kathryn Morris, William Petersen, Saul Rubinek, Philip Baker Hall, Mike Binder, Robin Thomas, Mariel Hemingway and Kristen Shaw.Support the Show.Feel free to reach out to me via:@MoviesMerica on Twitter @moviesmerica on InstagramMovies Merica on Facebook

Peggy Sue got married. But what if she didn't? What if, by some magical force, she was transported back to 1960 to relive high school? What if didn't end up marrying Nicolas Cage and his wang, and instead married an edgelord beatnik or an angsty nerd? These are the questions asked by this film directed by…*checks notes* Francis Ford COPPOLA?!?! Whew, okay, I couldn't have called that. Anyway, David and Justus also have some questions about Peggy Sue, like why didn't she also use her time to stop the Kennedy assassination and the Manson murders? And is this film that is, once again, inexplicably directed by the same guy who made the Godfather the Greatest Movie Ever Made? Peggy Sue Got Married (1986) is directed by Francis Ford Coppola and stars Kathleen Turner, Nicolas Cage, Barry Miller, Catherine Hicks and Joan Allen. Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio

Host Meg Wolitzer presents three works that contemplate a way out—of our lives, and even of this world.  In Joe Meno's “Books You Read,” performed by Joan Allen, a young boy helps his jaded teacher to love reading again.  J. Robert Lennon takes us into deep space and a conversation between a computer and a survivor in “Escape Pod W41,” performed by Stephen Lang.  A composition created by Lakecia Benjamin in response to the story, and performed by Junie Mojica, is also featured.  And marriage, and a friendship, are tested in Jac Jemc's “Infidelity,” performed by Kathleen Chalfont.  All three stories were commissioned for SELECTED SHORTS' anthology Small Odysseys.

On this week's show, we continue our look at a few movies of the legendary Nicolas Cage. Next up, 1997's Face/Off starring Nicolas Cage, John Travolta, Joan Allen, Gina Gershon, and Alessandro Nivola.  Be sure to let us know what you think of the movie, and the podcast. Thanks and enjoy!

 Photo: Kathleen O'Grady (L) Faith Imaafiion (R) Theatre of Note's production of Fruition 2019A lifelong actor, Kathleen O'Grady's earliest memory of her life's work finds her riding with her siblings around Los Angeles, in the back of her mother's car—driving to the next audition. Growing up in the town of Reseda -  named for the mignonette a fragrant plant found in the gardens of the San Fernando Valley - her parents moved north to the Bay area where team soccer and volleyball replaced limited theatrical opportunity.Chicago's robust theater community called this aspiring performer to enroll in DePaul's Theater School, formerly The Goodman School, where she studied under legendary thespian mentors Dr. Bella Itkin, and Joe Slovick. After graduation Kathleen catapulted from commercials, created her own theater company, and performed with Steppenwolf, the theater company which launched the careers of Joan Allen, John Malkovich, Laurie Metcalf, and Martha Plimpton. Inspired by love, a move to New York found Kathleen exploring every aspect of her craft from guest starring roles in Murder in the First, Law & Order,  Off Broadway productions, and more commercials. A pivot arrived while finding a natural proclivity for landscape design while working in her garden.  Following a new passion, she studied landscape design and horticulture at Columbia University, where she earned her master's degree.  Kathleen follows sister passions of acting, producing, landscape design integrating native plants, beneficial insects, soil regeneration, restorative permaculture, and land stewardship. This master artist and designer can be found at Theatre of Note, and Gregory Davis & Associates Landscape Design.

Katie and Bridget swap faces as they re-watch the insane 90's movie: Face/Off! It's a movie all about how your tax payer dollars are going towards secret underground face swapping science and technology that will ONLY be used to help cops trick the brothers of terrorists into confessing where a bomb is... But seriously, that's actually the plot guys! Come along as we meet Sean Archer (aka John Travolta), a cop out for vengeance against the terrorist Castor Troy (aka Nicolas Cage) who killed his son. When given the chance to literally swap faces, John Travolta says - sure! - becoming John Nick Cage. Then, to no ones surprise, Nicolas Cage wakes up and decides to then become Nick John Travolta and shenanigans ensue! This movie (which is really more like 4 movies rolled into one) leaves us with many questions such as: Should everyone have a secret hand shake to identify one another in the chance there are face swaps? Would you be able to recognize your partner based on their genitals? And most importantly - have the Kardashians already lived through the plot of this movie multiple times without us knowing!? Released in 1997, it was directed by John Woo and stars John Travolta,  Nicolas Cage, Joan Allen, Alessandro Nivola, Gina Gershon, and Dominique Swain.

On this week's show Will, Ian and Nora finally catch the uncatchable criminal! But then, it turns out, there's a bomb, with a code. And only 1 person can get the code...The Untouchable Criminal!!!! So they must swap faces with the criminal, but since there's 3 of them and a criminal they all just kind of swap faces around. Nora gets Ian's. Will gets Untouchable Criminal's. Ian get's Nora's. Then the Untouchable criminal wakes up, and guess what, he gets Will's face. It's a real wacky situation, Mostly because of all the- FACE/OFF (1997) Directed by: John Woo.

Host Meg Wolitzer presents three stories about the act of writing and how it can remake us--a prankish skit; a playful and tender investigation of creating with words; and a fraught social encounter between two characters who don't ‘get' each other's stories.  B.J. Novak takes on the old saying “Great Writers Steal” in a short piece read by Novak and Aasif Mandvi.  In Etgar Keret's “Creative Writing” a wife writes her way out of grief.  It's read by Alex Karpovsky.  A dinner party becomes a scene of personal and political tension in Lorrie Moore's “Foes,” performed by Joan Allen and Kyle MacLachlan.  And Moore joins Wolitzer to talk about the story and creating fiction.

Lenny Burnham (House of House; Chapter Surfing) returns to talk about Jason Statham's 2008 film Death Race. It's a movie that is both as dumb as you want it to be and smarter than you expect.

Book Vs. Movie: Ethan FromeThe 1911 book Vs. the 1993 movieThe Margos have decided to cover a proper novel-to-movie adaptation after a few weeks of pushing the boundaries of what constitutes a "book" on their show. Edith Wharton's 1911 novel Ethan Frome tells the story of a sickly man who lives in Starkfield, Massachusetts, with his wife and her cousin. The novel explores how they ended up in this situation. It tells the story of Ethan, trapped in a loveless marriage until the arrival of Zeena's cousin, Mattie, who brings hope and passion to his life. The novel highlights how societal norms and personal choices can lead to tragic outcomes and serves as a commentary on the constraints of rural life and the consequences of unfulfilled desires.In this ep, the Margos discuss:The career of Edith Wharton.The plot of the storyThe differences between the book and the adaptation.The cast of the 1993 film: Liam Neeson (Ethan Frome,) Patricia Arquette (Mattie Silver,) Joan Allen (Zeena,) Tate Donovan (Reverand Smith,) Stephen Mendilo (Ned Hale,) Phil Garran (Mr. Howe,) Virginia Smith (Mrs. Howe,) Annie Nessen (Sarah Anne Howe,) Katharine Houghton (Mrs. Hale,) George Woodard (Troy Powell,) and Jay Goede and Denis Eady.Clips used:Ethan meets ZeenaThe Reverand meets EthanMattie blossoms after a yearEthan and Mattie flirtZeena wants Mattie goneMusic: Rachel PortmanBook Vs.

Josh and SAM (1993) Directed by Billy Weber Written by Billy Weber Starring Noah Fleiss, Jacob Tierney, Jake Gyllenhaal, Joan Allen, Martha Plympton, Chris Penn Release Date November 25th, 2023 After their parents divorce, 12-year-old Josh (Jacob Tierney) and 7-year-old Sam (Noah Fleiss) decide to go on an underage road trip. Sick of being ferried between their distant mother and remarried father, Josh and his brother steal a car and set out for Canada. The runaways' journey gets more interesting when they pick up a drifter named Alison (Martha Plimpton). More bizarre yet, Josh has convinced his little brother that he's a "Strategically Altered Mutant." Josh and SAM was only available for purchase for $14.00.

For this week's episode, Jamelle and John watched Oliver Stone's 1995 dramatization of the life and career of President Richard M.
