John and Craig ask, what makes a useful comp? Writers often use comparisons when pitching or discussing projects, but what separates good comps from bad comps, why do we use them, and when do comps hurt more than they help? Basically, it's The Studio meets My Dinner with Andre. We also follow up on orality and "film by" credits, answer listener questions on getting AI feedback and attaching an actor to a microbudget feature, plus bring you another installment of John Recently Learned.

It's Megan's final episode on Spoilerpiece, and we're very happy to send her off with lively conversations. First up is ISLANDS (5:41), a slow burn thriller about a tennis instructor (Sam Riley) at an island resort who falls in with an unhappy English couple (Stacy Martin and Jack Farthing) and their young son. We all really dug this picture, and think Riley is great in the lead role. Then it's on to A PRIVATE LIFE (30:11), a sort-of comedy, sort-of thriller set in Paris, with Jodie Foster as a psychotherapist who's convinced that one of her patients was murdered. But how is she going to prove it? By making lots and lots of bad (but comic) decisions, including dragging her ex-husband into the adventure. The movie is tonally all over the place, but we all found things to like in it (particularly Megan, who is a bona fide Jodie Foster fan). Over on Patreon, we talk about the 1995 movie TANK GIRL.
We are approaching the 35th Anniversary of what is likely one of the most celebrated and influential movies of the 1990's. Adapted from Thomas Harris' best-selling novel of the same name, this is the story of student FBI agent Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) on her first assignment: to develop a psychological profile of the infamous serial killer, Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) who is currently incarcerated in Baltimore. Of course, she also finds herself on a hidden mission as well dispatched by her superior, Jack Crawford (Scott Glenn) - she meets with the intimidating Dr. Lecter to also glean clues on how to best catch another serial killer who is currently on the loose, Buffalo Bill (Ted Levine). And what results is an intensely brutal and psychogical cat-and-mouse between Clarice, Hannibal, and Bill. Not only was this film a suprise box office smash upon release in February '91 but it would also go on to win the rare "Big Five" at the Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Director for the late, great Jonathan Demme (Philadelphia, Talking Heads: Stop Making Sense, Something Wild).

Brian Beckner and Ed Daly are back for Episode 609, and it's a full buffet of cultural nonsense, sports absurdity, internet weirdos, and deeply unnecessary celebrity behavior. From William Shatner eating cereal behind the wheel to Norwegian ski jumpers allegedly weaponizing their crotches for aerodynamics, nothing is safe.

Jodie Foster has played many roles in her career, including an FBI trainee, an astronomer, a fixer in a bank heist, an Alaskan police chief, and a long-distance swimming coach. But now, she's doing something she's never done before: taking on the lead role in a French-language film. It's called A Private Life and it follows the Oscar and Emmy winner as Lilian Steiner, a French-speaking American psychiatrist in Paris who suspects the death of one of her patients is not what it seems. Jodie joins Tom Power to tell us why she feels like a different actor when she's performing in French. Plus, she talks about the freedom she's found after turning 60.
Actress and filmmaker Jodie Foster feels ambivalent about being Conan O'Brien's friend. Jodie sits down with Conan to discuss her experience working as a child actor, juggling the difference between intentionality and freedom, and how speaking French in her latest film A Private Life completely changed her acting style. Later, David Melmed returns to get to the bottom of Conan's Star Search misappropriation. For Conan videos, tour dates and more visit TeamCoco.com.Got a question for Conan?

Ken shares stories from his time at the FBI Academy when a young Jodie Foster was embedded with his training group, meticulously studying for her iconic role as Clarice Starling in the blockbuster film The Silence of the Lambs.

Before heading off to Sundance next week, Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy bring you ten new movie reviews. Erik looks at the anime adaptation of the text that inspired Edge of Tomorrow (All You Need Is Kill) and a Palestinian epic of family and loss that people need to see (All That's Left of You) while Steve checks out the latest film about family from the Dardenne Brothers (Young Mothers). On the documentary side there is the tale of a wrestler who was born with Crouzon's Syndrome (Standout: The Ben Kjar Story) and a two-parter on HBO Max about one of the absolute legends of comedy (Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man!). Jodie Foster takes the lead again as a psychiatrist investigating her patient's death (A Private Life) and Amanda Seyfried leads with music as part of a shaky religious sect (The Testament of Ann Lee). Bad cops are at the center of the new film from the director of Lowlife (Night Patrol) and Matt Damon & Ben Affleck may also be at the center of Joe Carnahan's latest thriller (The Rip). Finally, Ralph Fiennes and Jack O'Connell approach the rage virus in vastly different ways in the continuation of the apocalyptic series (28 Years Later: The Bone Temple).1:44 - All You Need Is Kill8:36 - Young Mothers14:02 - All That's Left Of You21:01 - Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man!36:40 - Standout: The Ben Kjar Story43:40 - A Private Life51:35 - Night Patrol1:03:01 - The Testament of Ann Lee1:12:34 - The Rip1:25:02 - 28 Years Later: The Bone TempleCLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCASTSIGN UP FOR AUDIBLEBe sure to check outErik's Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten TomatoesCritics' Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, ILChicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streamingPhysical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.(Direct purchases help the Movie Madness podcast with a few pennies.)Erik's Linktree - Where you can follow Erik and his work anywhere and everywhere.The Movie Madness Podcast has been recognized by Million Podcasts as one of the Top 100 Best Movie Review Podcasts as well as in the Top 60 Film Festival Podcasts and Top 100 Cinephile Podcasts.

It's Die Hard in a bank! This week we're discussing Spike Lee's outstanding heist movieINSIDE MAN with the help of our own “inside man” Randy Wilkins, a frequent Spike collaborator who actually worked on this movie! When calculating master thief Dalton Russell (Clive Owen) puts in motion what he claims is the perfect robbery and takes multiple hostages inside a Wall Street bank, eccentric NYPD detective Keith Frazier (Denzel Washington) is assigned to lead the hostage negotiations. However, the fragile situation is complicated yet further when the enigmatic high-level fixer Madeleine White (Jodie Foster) is tasked by the bank's owner Arthur Case (Christopher Plummer) to retrieve a mysterious artefact located inside a safe deposit box. In order to save the hostages and diffuse the crisis, Detective Frazier must navigate a complex spider's web of hidden agendas, misdirection and politics both inside and outside the besieged bank, as well as locking horns with the calm, calculating robber who appears to be much smarter than anyone else involved…including himself. The guys get into Randy's long-standing professional relationship with Spike Lee and how he came to work on this particular picture, then move into the ‘DIE HARD DNA' section where the many connections between the two films are discussed. They break down what makes this film unique in the over-saturated ‘heist movie' genre, examine its political themes, and discuss the three central performances of Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster (as well as the wider cast). Awards are handed out in the ‘Die Hard Oscars' and as always events culminate with the ‘Double Jeopardy Trivia Quiz', where the scores can really change!TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G7n7O5pel0At the time of release, INSIDE MAN is streaming on Starz and Philo in the US and is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV/iTunes, YouTube, Fandango and all the usual platforms!

Foster was just 12 years old when she starred in Scorsese's 1976 film ‘Taxi Driver.' "What luck to have been part of that, our golden age of cinema in the '70s," she says. She talks with Terry Gross about the 50th anniversary of that movie, getting mauled by a lion on a set, and why she kept her sexuality private for most of her career. Foster's latest film, ‘Vie Privée' (‘A Private Life'), is in French, which she speaks fluently. Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
As shots rang out on March 30, 1981 outside the Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., President Ronald Reagan and three others lie seriously wounded. Just two months after Reagan was sworn in as the 40th president, John Hinckley Jr. shocked the world because of his movie star obsession.What followed was chaos. America learned of the deep psychosis that led to Hinckley's obsession with actress Jodie Foster, and how, in his mind, he did it all for her. His trial gripped the nation. Many expected a guilty verdict, but his acquittal on grounds of insanity sparked outrage and forever changed how the law viewed mental illness.Now, for the first time, Hinckley tells his own story. He takes us through an early life of unfulfilled dreams, a music career and college degree that slipped away, and the descent into a mind overcome by delusion. He recounts the years spent in confinement at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, the slow climb toward recovery, and the people who helped him find his way back.A life defined by a single, horrific act becomes something more: a story of mental illness, redemption, and the long road to understanding the man behind one of America's most infamous moments.

This week, Shat The Movies looks to the stars with Contact, Robert Zemeckis's thoughtful, talky, and occasionally frustrating sci-fi drama about faith, science, and whether humanity is ready for the truth. Based on Carl Sagan's novel and anchored by a career-best performance from Jodie Foster, Contact dares to ask big questions—then spends two and a half hours arguing about who gets to answer them. Gene and Big D debate whether this is smart, adult science fiction or a preachy lecture disguised as a blockbuster. They dig into Matthew McConaughey's spiritual hot takes, the movie's suspicious politics, the weirdly hostile government oversight, and one of the most memorable fake-out climaxes of the '90s. Along the way, they ask the ultimate Shat question: is Contact profound—or just very impressed with itself? Plot Summary A driven scientist discovers an alien signal containing instructions to build a mysterious machine, forcing humanity to confront the conflict between science, faith, politics, and the possibility that we are not alone.

In January 2000, a single mother named Jodi Foster moved with her young daughter into an apartment on Parmac Road in Chico, California—unaware that the unit had a dark and unfinished past. As unexplained disturbances escalated into terrifying dreams and a child's repeated visions of a woman called “Myliz,” Jodi would eventually uncover a chilling connection to the 1976 disappearance of Marie Elizabeth Spannhake. Decades earlier, Spannhake vanished after walking home from a flea market. Could the haunting of Apartment 14 be tied to a crime never solved—and a voice that refused to be silenced? This episode explores the intersection of memory, place, and justice in one of California's cold cases.

America learned of the deep psychosis that led to Hinckley's obsession with actress Jodie Foster, and how, in his mind, he did it all for her. His trial gripped the nation. Many expected a guilty verdict, but his acquittal on grounds of insanity sparked outrage and forever changed how the law viewed mental illness. Now, for the first time, Hinckley tells his own story. He takes us through an early life of unfulfilled dreams, a music career, and a college degree that slipped away, as well as the descent into a mind overcome by delusion. He recounts the years spent in confinement at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, the slow climb toward recovery, and the people who helped him find his way back. A life defined by a single, horrific act becomes something more: a story of mental illness, redemption, and the long road to understanding the man behind one of America's most infamous moments. On today's TCT, we are joined by John Hinckley Jr. as he completely opens up to us about many topics including his issues with mental illness, his past obsession with Jodie Foster, his remorse over the attempted assassination of President Reagan and injuring the people involved, continued public backlash against him 45 years later, and much more!

Hay vida en el cine más allá de ‘Avatar' y, por eso, el cine francés le hace frente con dos propuestas muy interesantes en la cartelera. Rebecca Zlotowski dirige ‘Vida privada', la primera película que protagoniza en francés Jodie Foster como una psiquiatra que se obsesiona con la muerte de una paciente. También hay muertes y un juicio en ‘El extranjero', la revisión de François Ozon de una de las novelas de Albert Camus. Además, os recomendamos lo nuevo de Osgood Perkins, la inclasificable película de Luis Miñarro y algunas series para las vacaciones de Navidad. En 30 minutos os ponemos al día de todo.
Sergio Pérez entrevista en San Sebastián a la directora de esta película protagonizada por Jodie Foster.
Min 4: AVATAR 3: FUEGO Y CENIZA (3 estrellas) Avatar 3, dirigida por James Cameron y protagonizada de nuevo por Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang y Kate Winslet, se presenta como el estreno que llevábamos tiempo esperando para sentarnos a analizarlo en Estamos de Cine: un nuevo descenso a Pandora que promete ir más allá del deslumbramiento visual para adentrarse en zonas más incómodas y maduras del universo Avatar. Cameron amplía el mapa emocional y moral de la saga introduciendo nuevas culturas na'vi y un conflicto menos maniqueo, donde la épica convive con la culpa, la pérdida y la idea de que no toda resistencia es pura ni toda tecnología es el enemigo. Sin renunciar a su músculo técnico —pensado una vez más para la experiencia en sala—, Avatar 3 apunta a ser el capítulo que tensiona de verdad el relato, cuestiona a sus propios héroes y obliga al espectador a mirar Pandora no como un paraíso idealizado, sino como un mundo vivo, contradictorio y frágil, en el que cada elección deja cicatrices. Min 18: KEEPER (3 estrellas) Keeper, dirigida por Osgood Perkins y protagonizada por Tatiana Maslany (She-Hulk, Abogada Hulka; Orphan Black) y Rossif Sutherland, llega como uno de los títulos de terror más comentados de 2025, y el resultado es un film tan inquietante como polarizador: una experiencia que funciona mejor como estudio de atmósfera y miedo sutil que como narrativa sólida y cohesionada para Estamos de Cine. Min 23: VIDA PRIVADA (3 estrellas) Vida privada (Vie privée), dirigida por Rebecca Zlotowski y protagonizada por Jodie Foster en uno de los papeles más singulares de su carrera (interpretando a la prestigiosa psiquiatra Lilian Steiner), llega a las salas como una de las propuestas francófonas más originales de la temporada navideña. Thriller de investigación con aroma clásico que se enreda deliberadamente con elementos de comedia negra, drama psicológico y reflexión sobre la identidad profesional y personal. Min 26: EL EXTRANERO (3,5 estrellas) El extranjero, la nueva película dirigida por François Ozon y estrenada este viernes, es una adaptación audaz y cinematográfica del clásico existencialista de Albert Camus (L'Étranger), que analizamos en Estamos de Cine como una pieza que inquieta tanto por su fidelidad lírica al texto original como por su reinterpretación de sus temas más controvertidos para el presente. Ozon —conocido por su habilidad para explorar capas psicológicas y sociales en relatos aparentemente sencillos” rehúye una mera traducción literal y, en vez de ello, propone una lectura que enfatiza el carácter sensorial y la experiencia subjetiva del protagonista, Meursault (interpretado por Benjamin Voisin), un hombre cuya indiferencia ante la vida y la muerte se convierte en espejo de un mundo que no sólo no comprende sus emociones, sino que lo condena por su incapacidad para expresar las que se esperan de él. Min 33: LA PELÍCULA DE TU VIDA: CON ALBERTO VÁZQUEZ (DECORADO) Con un flamante Premio Forqué bajo el brazo y con claras opciones de cara al Goya, el director de la película animada "Decorado", Alberto Vázquez nos confiesa por qué el aclamado cortometraje de animación "Padre e hija" ( 2000. Michael Dudok de Wit) es el título que marcó su amor por el cine y su apuesta por la animación para emocionar. Min 36: AGUSTÍN ALMODÓVAR NOS AVANZA LAS FECHAS CLAVE DE "AMARGA NAVIDAD" La conexión entre la productora El Deseo y Estamos de Cine sigue funcionando y, en el último momento, al límite de la hora, nuestra pisano Agustín Almodóvar nos sorprende con un audio en el que nos confirma y concreta algunas de las fechas clave que la productora maneja para el estreno del último y esperado trabajo de Pedro: "Amarga Navidad". Min 38: ESPECIAL BSO "ZOOTRÓPOLIS 2" (3,75 estrellas) La banda sonora de Zootrópolis 2, compuesta por Michael Giacchino (Up, Inside Out, The Batman), es uno de los grandes valores narrativos de la secuela y confirma al compositor como una pieza esencial del ADN emocional de la saga. Giacchino retoma los motivos jazzísticos y urbanos que definían la identidad sonora de la primera película y los expande con mayor sofisticación rítmica y orquestal, acompañando el nuevo tono del relato, más adulto y menos ingenuo, sin perder el espíritu lúdico que caracteriza a Judy Hopps y Nick Wilde.
Es uno de los eventos del año. La película que esperan las salas de cine para levantar la taquilla. ‘Avatar: fuego y ceniza' es la tercera entrega de la saga de James Cameron. Más de lo mismo con todo el derroche visual. En este episodio escuchamos al director, charlamos con Sigourney Weaver y analizamos las películas. Además, también hemos entrevistado a Jodie Foster por el estreno de ‘Vida privada', un thriller con toques de humor y suspense que ha rodado en francés. Otro francés, François Ozon, adapta y revisa ‘El extranjero', una de las grandes obras de Albert Camus. Para completar el menú hay terror con ‘Keeper' y la última película de Marisa Paredes de la mano de Luis Miñarro. En televisión, nos visita uno de los grandes creadores contemporáneos, Alan Ball, el autor de series como ‘A dos metros bajo tierra'.

After being nominated for an Academy Award for her role as a child prostitute in the 1976 film Taxi Driver, Jodi Foster gave up acting to go to college. It was there that her Oscar-nominated performance made her the target of a deranged stalker. That stalker, John Hinckley Jr., was obsessed with Jodie Foster. He wrote her letters and called her on the phone. He was convinced she needed to be saved and that he was the one to do it. And in 1981, in Washington, D.C., Jodie Foster was the unknowing inspiration for and motive behind Hinckley's attempted assassination of a sitting American President. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including stalking and suicide.

Welcome to the Video Store Podcast.It's Turkey Time! The leaves are changing and the air is crisp. As the jack-o-lanterns turn into pumpkin pie I love to sit down and watch Thanksgiving movies. Some people will tell you there's only one Thanksgiving movie to watch this time of year, I disagree. I'm going to recommend four other Thanksgiving movies that will get you in the holiday spirit and hopefully become a permanent part of your Thanksgiving watch-list.First up we have Son in Law, the 1993 Pauly Shore movie. Becca, a small town Midwestern girl moves to Los Angeles to attend college. She meets Crawl (Shore) an eccentric surfer dude filled with chaotic energy. When Becca brings Crawl home for Thanksgiving the family and town aren't prepared for teh antics.John Hughes wrote two movies about Thanksgiving, one in 1987 and Dutch in 1991. Dutch is a road trip movie about a blue-collar and his spoiled, soon to be stepson. Along they way they each learn to view the world different and accept each other for who they are. The third movie on out Thanksgiving list is Home for the Holidays, directed by Jodi Foster. Home for the Holidays is a raw, unfiltered look at Thanksgiving through the lenses of a dysfunctional family. The Thanksgiving dinner scene alone is worth the price of the rental. It's not your normal ‘everyone hug and say I love you' happy ending. It's a fantastic movie and highly underrated.The final film on my list is Scent of A Woman from 1992. It's about the unlikely friendship between a prep school student and a retired Army officer. It stars the great Al Pacino and it is his movie through and through. From start to finish, he gives a master class in acting. In the end it reminds us that no matter what our situation there's always something and someone to be thankful for. No matter how you spend the holiday, with family, with friends or something else, have safe, enjoyable and relaxing holiday.We're thankful you stop by The Video Store Podcast, please come again for more great movies to add to your list.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!

Jennifer Lawrence's breakthrough role in the 2010 drama Winter's Bone secured her first Academy Award nomination when she was just 20, and she won the Best Actress category two years later for Silver Linings Playbook. Since then, she has become one of the most prolific, critically acclaimed and highest paid actors in Hollywood as the star of The Hunger Games series and three X-Men movies. Other leading roles include American Hustle, Joy and, most recently, the psychological drama Die My Love.Jennifer talks to John Wilson about her childhood on her parents' farm in Kentucky. After being scouted by a modelling agency, she left school as a teenager and moved to New York to start working as a model and actor. She recalls how the film Taxi Driver, starring a young Jodie Foster, made a big impression on her as an aspiring actress and how Jodie Foster later became a role model when she directed Jennifer on the set of The Beaver. She also counts Gena Rowlands' performance in A Woman Under The Influence, written and directed by John Cassavetes, as an important inspiration, as well as working with directors David O Russell and Lynne Ramsay.

Pracovný trh ostatných plus-mínus päť rokov postupne zapĺňajú vysokoškolskí absolventi generácie Z. Vo všeobecnosti ide o mladých ľudí, ktorí sa narodili v rokoch 1997 až 2012, teda dnes majú 13 až 28 rokov. Veľa si o nich prečítate v médiách a internetových fórach. Napríklad aj to, ako sa na nich sťažuje oscarová herečka Jodie Foster, ktorá hovorí, že sa s nimi ťažko pracuje. Nie je jediná. Takisto sa dozviete, že sú skúsení v technológiách, sú neustále online a práca nie je ich identita. Nič to nemení na tom, že sa o generáciu Z musia skôr či neskôr usilovať celkom logicky všetky sektory hospodárstva. Jedným z nich je aj bankovníctvo. Dokáže mladým ponúknuť to, čo žiadajú a naopak, má gen Z to, čo potrebujú banky? Ako je to napríklad s flexibilitou práce, ktorá sa často spomína ako jedna zo štandardných požiadaviek mladých ľudí – je na ňu priestor v bankovom sektore? O tom, ako menia zoomeri pracovnú kultúru a ako dokáže mladé talenty prilákať práve bankovníctvo, sa Nikola Šuliková Bajánová rozpráva s HR riaditeľkou VÚB banky Draganou Smolović. Táto epizóda vznikla v spolupráci s VÚB bankou, členom skupiny Intesa Sanpaolo. – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na sme.sk/podcasty – Odoberajte aj audio verziu denného newslettra SME.sk s najdôležitejšími správami na sme.sk/brifingSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Everyone from a GIF will be live in person at a convention center once we figure out how to rent it. Gore-themed birthday parties go crazy but the ARG is too hard. Dark triad style individuals such as Andrew Milonakis are leaving out poisoned cat poop for the neighborhood dogs to ensure that they never become the Jodie Foster in someone's Taxi Driver fantasy. Arby's meat nuggets are pretty good but later in the bathroom it might be a four-tiki-torcher plus a fire pit and a Febreze cloud that gets ignited. The guy in The Terminal was so lucky until he got turned into CGI and had to drive a Christmas train. China has a skeleton law and Perm is by the Urals.
This week, The Voices of SOUL ON FIRE series concludes by welcoming Mark Isham, the award-winning composer for film and television whose music has shaped some of the most moving stories of our time. From A River Runs Through It to Crash to his latest masterpiece in SOUL ON FIRE, Mark's work carries emotion, depth, and grace. Yet what shines even brighter than his talent is his humility. He views music not as notes on a page, but as a way to communicate love, courage, and connection. Today, Mark shares how he's learned to listen deeply, both in music and in life. He reflects on the blank canvas every artist faces, the mix of fear and faith that comes with creating, and how the secret to lasting success in both art and relationships is communication. Through stories of working with Robert Redford, Jodie Foster, and scoring the life-changing moments of SOUL ON FIRE, Mark reminds us that the best art begins in stillness, honesty, and a willingness to keep growing. My friends, if you've ever questioned your purpose, your talent, or your next step forward, this conversation is for you. You'll leave it reminded that creation isn't about perfection. It's about persistence. The best work and the best life come from showing up, listening well, and believing that the best is yet to come.

All that and more from 30, 20, and 10 years ago.
What do John Hinckley Jr. and a jazz age tuberculosis patient have in common? Legal correspondent Mackenzie Joy Brennan takes Sarah through some of the strange cases that helped make—and break—the insanity defense in America. Our story includes a woman who carried her (alleged) victims' bodies around in a suitcase, and the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan—carried out with the intention of impressing a young Jodie Foster.More Mackenzie Joy Brennan:http://www.mkzjoybrennan.comMore You're Wrong About:Bonus Episodes on PatreonBuy cute merchYWA on InstagramSarah's other show, You Are GoodSupport the show
