Podcast appearances and mentions of Joel Edgerton

At a special Little Gold Men live event at the Regent Santa Monica Beach, the Australian actor revealed that he had tried to get the rights to Denis Johnson's book four years earlier. But, he tells John and Rebecca, the wait was worth it to make Clint Bentley's version of the story, which explores fatherhood. "Robert, for me, felt like some version of myself and that felt like a worthwhile thing to do at that time in my life," says Edgerton, who also spoke about how directors like Baz Luhrmann have influenced him and what he thinks about the current state of the industry, including the possible Warner-Netflix merger.

This week, the boys drink some whiskey and head to 1960 to discuss the less famous slasher movie of the year, “Peeping Tom”! Directed by Michael Powell, this film was a major inspiration for Martin Scorsese and a terror to the people of England, leading to its removal from theaters after only 5 days. Unlike “Psycho”, it was subsequently banned from many other countries… yet today, this movie feels like a tone poem of modern culture.

There have been a lot of good to great films released this year - serious films, films with urgent political underpinnings, films that mix satire, pathos, and artistic ambition with such style that it salves my damaged psyche with a hope that there will be a light at the end of this dark tunnel in which we currently find ourselves. While there is a mordant undertone to many of these transmissions, there is also an implicit message from these artists that life will go on, and there is always love, joy, and gratitude to celebrate at the end of the year.TRAIN DREAMS is such a declaration. Based on a novel by Denis Johnson, the film is a metaphysical meditation on ragged survival through unimaginable grief, and it encompasses all of life and death throughout its dreamscape of primeval imagery. Following the trail of tears of a misbegotten railroad logger, Joel Edgerton delivers the performance of a lifetime, and in the cameo of a wizened old timer-philosopher in the camp, William H Macy transforms to such a degree that he caps his distinguished resume with an Oscar worthy supporting performance.  The Splendid Bohemians nominate this darkhorse masterpiece for film of the year, and would like to honor it today by playing Nick Cave's Train Dreams theme, along with 2 versions of Jackson Browne's Shadow Dream Song  (by Gregg Allman and Tom Rush), and Tom Wait's Innocent When You Dream. 

In this episode of 'Need Some Introduction,' Victor and Darren discuss a range of topics from recent entertainment releases to year-end reviews. The episode begins with a debate about covering the series 'Fallout' but shifts focus to 'Industry,' which both hosts are excited to discuss. They touch upon their recent experiences with various movies and TV shows, including 'Avatar,' sharing their mixed feelings about Cameron's ongoing saga. The hosts then dive deeply into their top TV series and movies of the year, praising series like 'White Lotus,' 'The Studio,' and 'Andor,' as well as documentaries like 'Unknown Number: High School Catfish' and 'The Perfect Neighbor.' They also highlight standout films such as 'Sinners' and powerful performances from actors like Rose Byrne and Joel Edgerton. Additionally, they mention interesting side notes like the 'Boxing Day' puzzle, current weather conditions, holiday activities, and the unique tendencies of modern viewers, including teenagers binge-watching 'Stranger Things.'   00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 00:54 Holiday Experiences 02:06 Movies and TV Shows Review 07:18 Boxing Day Puzzle 12:28 Movie Reviews and Recommendations 19:00 ‘The Life of Chuck' 33 33:12 ‘Avatar Fire and Ash' 33:45 Struggles with 3D Technology 34:13 New Characters and Family Reactions 35:25 Repetitive Storyline Critique 36:11 Meta Narrative and Visuals 38:22 Character Development and Performances 44:42 Cameron's Personal Themes 47:48 3D Technology and Financial Success 01:02:29 ‘Stranger Things' Viewing Habits 01:05:29 Top 10 List and Honorable Mentions 01:07:14 ‘King of the Hill' and Netflix Documentary 01:08:36 The Perfect Neighbor: A Shocking Documentary 01:10:54 American Murder and Other Disturbing Documentaries 01:13:57 White Lotus Season 3: A Sun-Drenched Thriller 01:15:24 Seth Rogan's The Studio: Hilarious and Technically Brilliant 01:17:09 Australian Actors Shine in Art House Films 01:22:06 The Rehearsal Season 2: Nathan Fielder's Genius 01:26:37 Sinners: An Epic Period Horror Drama 01:34:06 Paradise Episode 7: The Day 01:35:01 Adolescence: A Powerful One-Shot Series 01:37:55 Andor: The Best Star Wars Content in Years

"The Plague" is a psychological drama-thriller film written and directed by Charlie Polinger in his directorial debut, starring Everett Blunck, Kayo Martin, Kenny Rasmussen, and Joel Edgerton, who is also a producer. The film follows a socially anxious 12-year-old boy who is pulled into a cruel tradition at an all-boys water polo camp. The film had its world premiere in the Un Certain Regard section of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its direction, writing, and performances from its young stars, receiving three Film Independent Spirit Award nominations for Best Feature, Best Lead Performance (Everett Blunck), and Best Breakthrough Performance (Kayo Martin). Poling, Blunck, and Martin were all kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about their work and experiences making the film, which you can listen to below.

Hey Flixers, What's New to Netflix is closing down 2025 with all of the new titles coming in December, and you won't want to miss it! Then we take a peek at a troubled doctor's super secret creation, which just so happens to be a misunderstood scientific abomination in Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein from 2025. Next, Richard Linklater gives us a look into the filming of the iconic French classic Breathless in Nouvelle Vague from 2025. And also from 2025, Joel Edgerton is a logger dealing with the loss of his family in Train Dreams. All of this plus the other Troll 2, Robert Zemeckis movies, not one but two Mean Girls, YouTubers and Muppets, Man vs. Baby, Christmas on the Alpaca Farm, and a dumpster that transports people. got a suggestion for the show?: whatsnewtonetflix@gmail.com

This week on The Analysis (In-Person Pod), Bob hosts from his “temporary studio” (aka the dining room) while construction turns his future basement setup into a work-in-progress—and yes, the backdrop is a 4.5-foot Nakatomi Plaza complete with a Bruce Willis ornament and an LED explosion. From Die Hard Christmas party lore to awards-season streaming season, the guys dig into Netflix's latest lineup with a “Give It a Stream” mindset. First up: Train Dreams—a quiet, devastating, visually stunning frontier story anchored by Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones. They unpack the film's naturalistic beauty, the brutal realities of logging life, hidden CGI craft, and why simple stories can hit the hardest. Then they hop aboard Jay Kelly, Noah Baumbach's movie-star meditation starring George Clooney and Adam Sandler. They debate its strong bones vs. a jarring tonal detour, highlight standout scenes (Billy Crudup's “emotional choice” masterclass), and talk about the cost of greatness—career ambition vs. being present for the people who matter. To close, they hit Knives Out 3: Wake Up Deadman, breaking down why these star-stacked whodunits are the perfect “pause-and-theorize” Netflix watch, what works (Josh Brolin + Josh O'Connor showing up big), and where the movie occasionally runs long—but still lands. Also: a quick warning about The Roses… and a bottle-fed cameo from Reese to end the episode.

We review two recent Netflix movies - Noah Baumbach's JAY KELLY, starring George Clooney, and TRAIN DREAMS, starring Joel Edgerton.

James Cameron-Wilson says that box office is down 40% again, even though #1 Zootropolis 2 has become the biggest film of the year worldwide. #18 Ella McCay is from James L. Brooks, who brought us such movies as Broadcast News. It stars Emma Mackey as an aspiring politician, backed by a raft of great actors such as Jamie Lee Curtis and Albert Brooks. Full of terrific dialogue, it reminds James of the great screwball comedies of old. He loved every minute. He was also impressed by Netflix's Train Dreams, with Joel Edgerton as a logger and railroad worker. This is film as art and does require a degree of patience. He was bewitched by a film which reminded him of Days of Heaven. Also on Netflix is the third Knives Out movie, Dead Man Wake Up. Despite a great cast supporting Daniel Craig, James thought the murder plot was forced and, while there were some great moments, he was ultimately disappointed. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this special episode of the podcast, recorded live at Zibby's Bookshop in LA, three extraordinary guests celebrate the acclaimed new film Train Dreams: writer-director Clint Bentley, actor Joel Edgerton, and Black Bear CEO (and Zibby's brother!) Teddy Schwarzman. The conversation dives into the art of adaptation, the creative journey behind Train Dreams, and the deeply human themes at the heart of Denis Johnson's beloved novella.

Der Pate (The Godfather) gilt als einer der größten Filmklassiker aller Zeiten – aber warum funktioniert dieser Mafiafilm / Gangsterfilm so gut, dass er sogar Leute abholt, die mit Gangsterfilmen sonst wenig anfangen können? In dieser Folge gehen wir genau da rein: Filmkritik, Filmanalyse, Wirkung, Figuren, Inszenierung – und warum Coppolas Epos bis heute so präsent ist. Wir sprechen über Der Pate (1972) von Francis Ford Coppola, nach dem Roman von Mario Puzo – mit Marlon Brando als Don Vito Corleone und Al Pacino als Michael Corleone. Was macht die Atmosphäre so dicht? Warum ist das Tempo trotzdem fesselnd? Und wieso ist das Ganze für viele weniger “Gangster-Action” als ein kompromissloses Familiendrama über Macht, Loyalität und Moral? Außerdem in dieser Folge: aktuelle Filme & Neuerscheinungen – jeder bringt einen frischen Titel mit:

Joel Edgerton stars in the new Netflix film Train Dreams, delivering a moving and memorable performance. In this conversation, Edgerton explores his personal connection to the film's story and character, discussing how director Clint Bentley's adaptation was able to “crack the safe” and bring the project to life. The actor also reflects on the meaningful advice his father gave about chasing his dreams, what he hopes to see flourish in the Australian film industry, and the unexpected delight of hearing which of his films resonate most with fans — from Kinky Boots to Star Wars.

Ao entrar no elevador para fazer entrevistas sobre o filme “Sonhos de Trem” (Netflix), a primeira coisa que ouvi de um jornalista americano foi: “Qualquer frame do filme dá um quadro maravilhoso”. Ele não sabia que o diretor de fotografia era brasileiro, mas sem perceber, acabou me dando a manchete e resumiu exatamente o que tantos profissionais têm repetido sobre o trabalho de Adolpho Veloso.  Cleide Klock, correspondente da RFI em Los Angeles O nome de Veloso circula nas principais publicações de Hollywood, entre os favoritos na corrida ao Oscar na categoria de Melhor Fotografia. Nesta última semana, ele já apareceu na shortlist do Critics' Choice Awards, premiação da principal associação de críticos de cinema dos Estados Unidos. Veloso, que mora em Portugal e carrega o Brasil na memória e no olhar, veio a Hollywood para participar do lançamento do filme e das campanhas de premiações. E parece ainda se surpreender com essa repercussão. “É muito louco. Você nunca imagina, quando está filmando, que isso vai acontecer. Não é uma coisa que faz muito sentido, ao mesmo tempo, é tão surreal que eu prefiro nem pensar tanto. E é um ano extremamente difícil, com muito filme bom, acho que é um dos melhores anos do cinema nos últimos tempos”, contou à RFI. Ele confessa que, como muitos artistas, vive crises profundas durante o processo. “É incrível ter esse reconhecimento, principalmente pela quantidade de crises que a gente tem filmando, que você acha que nunca mais vai filmar na vida. A primeira vez que assisti esse filme no cinema, pensei: ‘Meu Deus, isso está horrível, nunca mais vou conseguir trabalho'. E ver essa reação agora, que é o completo oposto, dá forças para seguir”. Memórias e naturalismo Em “Sonhos de Trem”, dirigido por Clint Bentley e inspirado na novela de Denis Johnson, acompanhamos Robert Grainier (Joel Edgerton), um lenhador do início do século XX, que vive longos períodos longe da família. A atmosfera é de recordações borradas, sensações e silêncios, algo que nasceu de forma muito consciente entre Clint e Adolpho. “A gente queria muito que, ao assistir ao filme, parecesse que você estivesse vendo as memórias de alguém, quase como se encontrasse uma caixa com fotos antigas e tentasse entender a vida daquela pessoa, às vezes meio fora de ordem, e você tenta entender quem foi aquela pessoa por aquelas fotos”, explica. Um brasileiro nos anos 1920 Filmado inteiramente no estado de Washington em apenas 29 dias, um feito raro para um longa de época, o projeto exigiu uma maratona por florestas intocadas, vales, zonas devastadas e cenários naturais extremos. A natureza no filme é praticamente uma personagem. “Num filme de época, às vezes é difícil para quem o assiste se conectar, porque tudo é tão diferente. Então queríamos trazer mais realidade, mais conexão. Filmamos só com luz natural e uma câmera bem orgânica, como se você estivesse lembrando de algo que viveu”. Veloso, que nasceu em São Paulo e hoje vive em Portugal, encontrou na história de Grainier uma identificação imediata. “Quando o diretor me mandou o roteiro, pensei: essa vida é basicamente a minha. Esse cara que fica meses longe de casa, trabalhando com gente que talvez nunca mais vai ver… é assim para quem faz cinema. Voltar para casa sempre é estranho, leva dias para sentir que você pertence de novo. Tem as questões de perda, de imigração, da gente ser estrangeiro numa terra diferente, e isso tem consequências”. Olhar brasileiro encontra caminho em Hollywood A trajetória até Hollywood foi, como ele mesmo diz, “aos poucos”. Começou filmando no Brasil, trabalhou com Heitor Dhalia, assinou filmes e documentários, entre eles “On Yoga”, que chamou a atenção de Clint Bentley. Quando Bentley preparava “Jockey” (2021), buscava justamente alguém que transitasse entre ficção e documentários. Encontrou Veloso e o contactou por e-mail. Anos depois, “Sonhos de Trem” se tornaria o segundo filme da dupla. Além de estar nas previsões de Melhor Fotografia para o Oscar, a produção, que já está disponível na Netflix, aparece com possíveis indicações de Melhor Filme, Melhor Ator (possivelmente para Joel Edgerton) e Melhor Roteiro Adaptado. O Brasil que sempre volta Quando lhe pergunto se leva algo do Brasil para seus filmes, a resposta vem quase antes da pergunta terminar: “O nosso jeitinho.” Não no sentido estereotipado, mas na criatividade diante do impossível, no drible às burocracias rígidas de sets americanos. “Aqui tudo é muito engessado e a gente não está acostumado com isso. Aqui, você tem uma ideia e já ouve um não: isso custa tanto, precisa disso, daquilo. E às vezes não precisa de tudo isso. Digo, e se a gente só fizer assim? E funciona.” Reconhecimento Conto a ele que vários jornalistas comentaram comigo espontaneamente sobre a fotografia do filme, sem saber que ele era brasileiro. Veloso abre um sorriso tímido, um pouco surpreso, um pouco orgulhoso. É o tipo de reconhecimento que o Brasil inteiro deveria ouvir. E talvez ouça, quem sabe, no palco do Oscar.

This week, the boys pick up DeNiro in between “The Mission” and “Goodfellas” when my man just wanted to have some FUN in “Midnight Run”, an action adventure comedy directed by Martin Brest (Beverly Hills Cop). The FBI, the cops, the mafia, bounty hunters, white collar crime, blue collar crime, smoking on airplanes…The movie looks real, the people are real, the car crashes are real, the helicopter is terrifyingly real, and DeNiro's comedy chops with Charles Grodin, Joe Pantoliano, Dennis Farina, Yaphet Kotto, and more.

Joel Edgerton (Train Dreams, The Secret Life of Us, The Square) is an actor, writer, and director. Joel joins the Armchair Expert to discuss how he knows when his Australian Vogue Editor-in-Chief wife doesn't like his outfit, why his approach to relationships is ‘it takes two to tango,' and the reasons why he gets starstruck over are athletes. Joel and Dax talk about the big dreaminess of Australian filmmakers, the deficits of old school masculinity, and why his brother is ‘that guy' as a stunt performer in movies. Joel explains pitching ideas to George Miller while getting his steps in, the pleasure of working alongside someone better than him, and the incredible and brutal world he gets to portray in Train Dreams.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Interview with star Joel Edgerton regarding his new film Train Dreams. Now available on Netflix.

On this episode of The Best Thing We Watched This Week, Ruben and Chris talk about Brendan Fraser in Rental Family, Joel Edgerton in Netflix's Train Dreams, plus season 2 of A Man on the Inside. We also discuss Wicked: For Good, Zootopia, Pacific Days on PS5, and a Stranger Things rewatch, plus the abysmal Disney Twisted-Wonderland the Animation. And of course we'll chat with you too! What's the best thing you watched this week?

Sean and Amanda are joined by Juliet Litman and return to the (not so) wonderful world of Oz to cover John M. Chu's ‘Wicked: For Good,' starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. Before diving in, they react to new movie trailers for Charli XCX's ‘The Moment' (1:02) and ‘The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping' (10:54). Then, they discuss ‘Wicked: For Good,' which they found deeply frustrating due to its bizarre story choices and one-dimensional characters (18:22). They hypothesize its potential box office, compare this year's press tour to last year's, and weigh its Academy Award chances (1:07:44). Next, Sean and Amanda briefly examine Clint Bentley's ‘Train Dreams,' starring Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones, a deeply earnest and sincere portrayal of grief with some beautiful digital photography and an amazing collection of character actors (1:22:55). Finally, Bentley joins the show to discuss his new film and explains why he initially thought the original material was unadaptable, how he put a lot of intent behind capturing the logging scenes in the movie, and shares his feelings on the current state of independent film (1:34:28).

"Train Dreams" had its world premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and later screened at the Toronto and AFI Film Festivals. It received positive reviews for its adaptation of the 2011 novella of the same name, Clint Bentley's direction, Joel Edgerton's leading performance, its cinematography, and its score by Bryce Dessner.

Megan fills Dave in on WICKED: FOR GOOD (4:07), the conclusion of the film adapation of the Broadway musical which is an adaptation of the novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire. Verdict: Megan liked it, but didn't love it the way she loves WICKED (click here for a reminder). Then Dave and Megan talk about TRAIN DREAMS (20:34), director and co-screenwriter Clint Bentley's adaptation of the Denis Johnson novella. With gorgeous cinematography, a quietly deft screenplay, and a beautiful central performance from Joel Edgerton, Megan and Dave both see TRAIN DREAMS ending up on their year-end best-of lists. Over on Patreon, we watch the 2015 psychological horror film THE INVITATION, directed by Karyn Kusama and starring Logan Marshall-Green and Tammy Blanchard.

Okay, Ozians. The wait is finally over. The second and final part of the big screen adaptation of the Broadway musical "Wicked" is finally here. In "Wicked: For Good," Cynthia Erivo's Elphaba and Ariana Grande's Glinda use their vocal powers for good, providing a long but fitting climax. Both films combined have a running time of over 5 hours and, yes, it's padded. But thanks to spectacular production values and soaring vocals “Wicked: For Good” provides enough magic to satisfy all the Munchkins out there. In the sweet, low key comic drama "Rental Family," Brendan Fraser plays a struggling American actor in Japan who takes a job pretending to be the dad of a lonely young Japanese girl. While it works on a sentimental level, the whole setup glosses over some troubling ethical lapses. It's well-intentioned but tries a bit too hard to be heartwarming. Speaking of sentimental, the Norwegian comic drama "Sentimental Value" is about a famous filmmaker who tries to reconnect with his estranged daughters by making a comeback film about his family. Stellan Skarsgard, Renate Reinsva and Elle Fanning give terrific performances in an involving tale that will keep you guessing. It manages to live up to its 'sentimental' title without getting sappy. In the mood for a laid-back cinematic tone poem? "Train Dreams" is a beautifully shot Netflix period drama starring Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones about an ongoing series of tragedies that beset a railroad worker and his family in the early 20th Century Pacific Northwest. Tragic and austere, “Train Dreams" is a film to appreciate if not necessarily enjoy.

Actor Joel Edgerton on his role as an itinerant lumberjack in 1900s Idaho, in Clint Bentley's Train Dreams, an adaptation of a novel by Denis Johnson which is being tipped for Oscar success.The Harris in Preston and Poole Museum in Dorset recently threw their doors open after multi million pound refurbishment projects. We hear how these museums have been transformed and how local communities are responding to their reopening. Photographer Craig Easton tells us about his project An Extremely Un-get-atable Place in which he reflects on the time writer George Orwell spent on the island of Jura in the 1940s. And from South Georgia in the South Atlantic, artist Michael Visocchi joins us to talk about the physical and emotional demands of installing a permanent sculpture to over 100,000 whales slaughtered by the whaling industry.
