Guest Kevin Hurley joins the boys this week to discuss another Actually Good Movie. Together, they venture off into the night with John Cassavettes, Peter Falk and director Elaine May on a strange and darkly funny journey into the human soul. Find out if Mikey and Nickey is the Greatest Movie Ever Made! Mikey and Nickey (1976) is directed by Elaine May and stars Peter Falk, John Cassavettes, Ned Beatty, Rose Arrick and Carol Grace. Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio
Celebrated for bringing depth and nuance to roles ranging from a drug-addicted art dealer (High Art, Lisa Cholodenko, 1998), to a dying mother meeting her daughter for the first time (Monica, Andrea Pallaoro, 2023), Patricia Clarkson is no stranger to complex emotional terrain. Perhaps that is why she feels somewhat comfortable in the volatile world of A Woman Under the Influence, John Cassavettes' 1974 masterpiece. The film centers around Mabel Longhetti, brilliantly rendered by Gena Rowlands, as a deeply loving, profoundly unstable housewife and mother of three.We explore the extraordinary power and nuance of Rowland's performance, the layered collaboration of Cassavettes, Rowlands, and Falk, and learn the extent to which the film was indeed a family affair. For this iconic film, we could not ask for a better guide than the woman Cooper once dubbed the “Unofficial Queen of Sundance”, Patricia Clarkson. Hosted on Acast.

Six more movies reviews, don't worry we have more showcases coming soon, but hey let's dive in. Today we are doin it, ever so slightly differently. For you dear listener it is basically nothing, but for us or me specifically it feels like great fun. We have our five prepared reviews, and then we pause the pod car, watch the 6th then come back and give our freshest review ever. Starting off today we tackle (the Trial of the Catonsville nine 1972) Sadly this isn't streaming and is only available on VHS, it's probably not an accident that an extremely left movie about direct action gets buried. These 2 priest brothers and 7 others grabbed all the files of those tagged to be next in the draft to Nam and publicly burned them using homemade napalm to protest the bombings. They are well spoken and unapologetic in the trial, and we hear at D.U.I. think its an important 70's event and film that should definitely get a re release now. Film is based off a play written by Daniel Berrigan, one of the 9. Movie number 2 today is (the Homecoming 1973) Oh dear this movie. I will say this, in thinking about why I didn't love it, its actually getting more thought provoking and interesting in my head. Ian Holm is great in this, and perhaps now let us move on to something with a little more passion for life. (Rocky 1976) I'm sorry, but I had seen this film so many times before realizing that Sly pretty much runs the whole show, and is quite underrated. He wrote most if not all the Rocky's, and heck he wrote first blood. He did not direct this one though that's the next movie. Our director here is John G Avildson of karate kid fame. Not sure what to say here, but we do say a lot, now this movie did very well at the box office and the oscars, is it deserved, let's see. Personally I'd of given the best picture to 2 over one because there is simply less Paulie in it. you can just listen so let's move on shall we. (Opening night 1977) Our 2nd John Cassavettes film. Here have a decade under the influence favorite Gena Rowlands giving a breathtaking performance as stage and screen star Myrtle Gordan. Say what you will but she rules and this film really takes you inside of a stage production, I mean really in there. Listen and we'll tell you if there's issues but issues or no, this for us was really quite something to see. Next up we have for you (Rocky II 1979). Sly IS writer and director here and this is another film that I do have a memory of seeing in the theater in 79. I was 8 and remember it as, pretty great for a non Star Wars movie. High praise indeed. I should have said before but Talia Shire, Burgess Meredith, and awesome Carl Weathers are all back again and pretty great, also Burt Young as Paulie, great actor douchee character. Finally today we pull the pod car over and pause to watch then review (where the lilies bloom 1974) another 70's rated g family film that doesn't really seem all that family or G. Is it insulting to intelligence and kids now to just give them a simple story cartoon and call it good. Wall E is pretty darn heavy actually. I liked that I watched some pretty heavy films as a kid, now they didn't scar me like some of my friends were by being taken to go see Alien when they were 7 just so the parents could see Alien. Our friend of the pod Eddie was even taken to see the Texas chainsaw massacre and told to NOT look at the screen. I on the other hand was taken to see heavy themed Ordinary people at 8 or 9 and shown one flew over the cuckoo's nest as a kid and these are still 2 of my most favorite movies and I don't feel I was scarred or that I didn't understand the concepts as a kid, I understand them better now, but I love the journey of re watching great movies or re looking at good art or music over the years, here's to the journey. Thanks so much for listening.
John Cassavettes' films are unlike the films of any other movie maker. They're raw, feel real, explore deep and complex human emotions in the way no other films do. Eric and Jason are both fans of the man's films, so they felt like it was about time for them to review a couple for this podcast. So for this week' show they reviewed Opening Night and Love Streams. Both are amazing films, featuring astounding perfomances by Gena Rowlands in films which lacerate, bruise and provide deep insight into humanity. Join us as we dig deep into the complex contradictions of the human soul and wonder... what does it take to make an actor truly great? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jason-sacks/message

An explosive inside look at The Dirty Dozen, the star-studded war film that broke the rules, shocked the critics, thrilled audiences, and became an all-time classic. The year was 1967. A cinematic blockbuster exploded across American popular culture. The Dirty Dozen didn't just reinvent the “men on a mission” war story, it blew the genre to pieces. Like its ragtag team of misfits, it defied authority, mocked the military, and still managed to deliver action, adventure, and no-holds-barred Nazi-killing. It also received four Oscar nominations, launched the careers of many Hollywood legends, and inspired generations of filmmakers like Sam Peckinpah, Quentin Tarantino, and James Gunn. Based on exclusive interviews with the surviving cast and crew, friends and families of the stars, and other Hollywood insiders, Killin' Generals: The Making of The Dirty Dozen, the Most Iconic WW II Movie of All Time (Citadel Press, 2023) is a riveting must-read for film buffs, military fans, and anyone who loves a down-and-dirty adventure tale. Detailed, insightful, and gossipy, Epstein's homage spotlights the movie's endless barrage of cinematic gold. During a time when America was reeling from turmoil, Hollywood held an indelible mirror up to a changing society. Films like Bonnie and Clyde, The Graduate, Cool Hand Luke, and In the Heat of the Night would define the era. But it was a gritty, violent, darkly comic World War II movie called The Dirty Dozen that would really strike a chord with audiences—and become the year's biggest box office success. Heading up the all-star cast were Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, John Cassavettes, Charles Bronson, Donald Sutherland, Jim Brown, Robert Ryan, Clint Walker, and at his most terrifying best, Telly Savalas, propelling many of them to stardom. Dwayne Epstein is the author of several young adult biographies, covering such celebrity personalities as Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, Hilary Swank, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, and Denzel Washington for Lucent Books' People in the News series. Epstein also contributed to Bill Krohn's bestselling books Hitchcock at Work and Joe Dante and the Gremlins of Hollywood. His biography Lee Marvin: Point Blank was a New York Times bestseller. Daniel Moran earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University. The author of Creating Flannery O'Connor: Her Critics, Her Publishers, Her Readers, he teaches research and writing at Rutgers and co-hosts the podcast Fifteen-Minute Film Fanatics, found at https://fifteenminutefilm.podb... and on Twitter @15MinFilm.

On this episode, Brad steps on a proverbial rake as he discusses Part One his "Never Seen Before" list of movies with Sean. He's had this since high school, so there really isn't any excuse for some of these movies to still be on this list. Titans of film like John Cassavettes, John Woo, Alan J. Pakula, and Akira Kurosawa are discussed, if you need any indication of how embarassing this gets. They also discuss Tubi going wild, Charles Bronson's love of sausage patties, and watching the Takashi Miike classic Gozu with famous Hollywood actor Matthew Mattingly.

Sur le Billard cette semaine ATTENTION! un problème technique désespérant nous a empêché de vous fournir une qualité sonore optimale pour cet entretien réalisé en duplex, ça nous désole d'autant plus que... Depuis notre rencontre avec Thierry Jousse il y a deux ans, nous avions très envie de refaire une émission en sa compagnie. Nous avions d'abord imaginé évoquer avec lui une passion commune tel que le Cinéma de John Cassavettes. Finalement, ce sera un point de désaccord qui fera l'objet de cette deuxième émission: le cinéma de David Lynch. Un Cinéma dont on reconnaît l'importance mais qui nous laisse plutôt froid et à propos duquel une émission nous a été commandée via tipeee par un auditeur particulièrement généreux. On remercie vivement ce dernier au passage! Toutes nos excuses à lui et à l'ensemble de nos auditeurs pour la très mauvaise qualité d'enregistrement que l'on espère un peu compensée par la richesse des propos de notre invité. C'était ça ou bien on la gardait dans les cartons et ça aurait été trop douloureux....

Season 3: Episode 75 - Longtime Companion/It Comes At Night Longtime Companion (1990) Considered one of the first major films to deal with the AIDS crisis of the 80’s would be considered a triumphant upon its release. Told from the point of view of a group of friends in a ten year period would show the impact the disease would have. The title comes from what the New York Times would use for the surviving same sex partner who had died from the AIDS virus. Norman Rene and Craig Lucas would bring this amazing story to the screen. Rene would die of the AIDS virus in 1996. Craig Lucas is a multi-talented stage performer, director and writer and has won numerous awards for his work on Broadway. The film stars Mary Louise Parker, Bruce Davison, Campbell Scott, Patrick Cassidy, Dermot Mulroney and Michael Schoeffling. It Comes at Night (2017) Written and directed by Trey Edward Shults following the death of his father, the film tells the story about a family who take refuge from a contagious disease in a house deep in the woods and the effects this has on the family. The film takes its cue from the 1562 oil painting, The Triumph of Death whilst being influenced by the work of Paul Thomas Anderson and John Cassavettes. It also gives a nod to The Shining and Night of the Living Dead. This is a totally original work that surpassed expectation upon its initial release beating out big budget Hollywood films such as The Mummy and Megan Leavey. The film stars Joel Edgerton, Carmen Ejogo, Christopher Abbott, Kelvin Harrison Jr and Riley Keough.

Charles Kiselyak's video eulogy to John Cassavettes is overly long, but endlessly fascinating. Except he talks to Sean Penn too much.
Edición número 122 de la gran Evasión. Doce reclusos militares son convocados, tienen entre manos una misión suicida. Doce tipos mugrientos, cada uno lo peor de su padre y de su madre. El comandante Reisman, indisciplinado pero eficaz, procurará insuflar confianza y disciplina a un puñado de balas perdidas. Hombres sin alternativa, algunos condenados a la horca, otros a trabajos forzados, sentencias posiblemente conmutables si la misión tiene éxito. Su cometido es difícil: infiltrarse tras las líneas enemigas, asaltar el castillo de Rennes y eliminar a todos los oficiales nazis posibles. "“Disparen a todos los oficiales que vean allí” ¿Nuestros o de ellos? Empiecen por los de ellos, si no les importa”." Reisman sabe tratar a unos hombres desahuciados, por eso lo han elegido. Un insólito grupo de personajes muy bien trazados, John Cassavettes es Víctor Franko, el rebelde macarra, a Donald Sutherland le sienta como un guante el personaje del anormal pero simpático Pinkley, el cantante Trini López hace de Jiménez, un hispano de rostro afable a primera vista, Jim Brown es el lacónico afroamericano Jefferson, Clint Walker es Posey, el grandullón con problemas de autocontrol, Telly Savalas, el psicópata misógino, para Wladislaw se escogió a Charles Bronson, el polaco que se convertirá en el hombre de confianza del mejor de todos, el comandante Reisman, un hombre de porte imponente y anchas espaldas que será el encargado de mantener la disciplina, a él no le interesan las florituras, sólo los resultados, es el más idóneo para conseguir la camaradería en una banda de delincuentes. Lee Marvin se encontraba en su mejor momento, venía de recibir el Oscar por "La ingenua explosiva", y protagonizar "A quemarropa" o "Los profesionales". Robert Aldrich se sirvió de un montaje trepidante, de una novela exitosa, de un par de guionistas como Nunnally Johnson y Lukas Heller, y combinó truculencia, cinismo y humor burro a partes iguales para realizar una gran película sobre un comando de asalto, y vertir su ácida crítica sobre el Ejército, sus mandos, y lo que se ponga por delante. Tal como le espeta Reisman a su General, un socarrón Ernest Borgnine, alguno de sus superiores debe estar loco de atar. Raúl Gallego Esta noche en Radiópolis protestamos al unísono porque no podemos afeitarnos con agua caliente... Raúl Gallego, Gervi Navío y nuestro crítico desde Madrid, César Bardés.
