Podcast appearances and mentions of John Hillcoat

I'm still fucking sick, and consume about 17 cough drops throughout this episode. The Los Angeles Insurrection, and my growing and almost unquantifiable contempt for this place and the people in charge of it. A couple more things about Harley Flanagan and the Cro Mags (sorry) I try to get you to appreciate the movie “Green Book,” and I went to see The Proposition with the director and cast there live. (Sort of) I also saw Dogma, the old Kevin Smith movie that is having a limited national re-release.

Thomas, DingDong und Jacko kehren dem Weltraum den Rücken und stürzen sich mit The Road in eine düstere, schonungslose Postapokalypse. In dieser trostlosen Welt kämpfen Viggo Mortensen und sein Filmspross — gespielt von Kodi Smit-McPhee — ums nackte Überleben auf dem Weg zum Meer. Die Verfilmung des gefeierten Romans von No Country for Old Men-Autor Cormac McCarthy wurde seinerzeit mit Spannung erwartet – und ebenso schnell wieder aus dem kollektiven Gedächtnis verdrängt. Doch verdient der Film wirklich dieses Schattendasein? Welche Art von Science-Fiction euch in The Road erwartet und ob sich ein Blick heute noch lohnt, erfahrt ihr im Podcast.

On the afternoon of Thursday, September 17, 2009, I interviewed Nick Cave in (what I recall was) the Park Hyatt's restaurant located in the Yorkville area of Toronto, Ontario. The occasion was to discuss his then new novel, The Death of Bunny Munro, and we also covered his work with Warren Ellis and the filmmaker John Hillcoat to score the film, The Road, why his new novel's depiction of sexuality was revealing for both men and women, the marvels of emerging app technology and Apple's fledgling iPhone, compartmentalizing his songwriting and literary work and heading to an office every day to get those things done, and other subjects as well. This interview was originally broadcast on the Mich Vish Interracial Morning Show! on November 11, 2009. See Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds on their Wild God Tour.

G'day! This week, Justus and David hop on kangaroos and ride to the lawless outback of the land down under, where the only thing stinkier than the sweaty outlaws and more rotten than their yellow teeth is colonial racism.

1931. Au cœur de l'Amérique en pleine Prohibition, dans le comté de Franklin en Virginie, état célèbre pour sa production d'alcool de contrebande, les trois frères Bondurant sont des trafiquants notoires : Jack, le plus jeune, ambitieux et impulsif, veut transformer la petite affaire familiale en trafic d'envergure. Il rêve de beaux costumes, d'armes, et espère impressionner la sublime Bertha… Howard, le cadet, est le bagarreur de la famille. Loyal, son bon sens se dissout régulièrement dans l'alcool qu'il ne sait pas refuser… Forrest, l'aîné, fait figure de chef et reste déterminé à protéger sa famille des nouvelles règles qu'impose un nouveau monde économique. Lorsque Maggie débarque fuyant Chicago, il la prend aussi sous sa protection. Seuls contre une police corrompue, une justice arbitraire et des gangsters rivaux, les trois frères écrivent leur légende : une lutte pour rester sur leur propre chemin, au cours de la première grande ruée vers l'or du crime.Pour cet épisode de STEROIDS - LE PODCAST, Stéphane Moïssakis convoque le sémillant critique Ernest Bordeau (dit Arnaud Bordas dans le civil) pour parler de gangsters, de prohibition et de mythologie américaine.

This week, we discuss two brutally violent films set in 19th century Australia. The first is The Proposition (2005), a Western directed by John Hillcoat and written by screenwriter and musician Nick Cave. It stars Guy Pearce, Ray Winstone, Emily Watson, John Hurt, Danny Huston and David Wenham. The second is The Nightingale (2018), a historical psychological thriller written and directed by Jennifer Kent. Set in 1825 in Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania), it follows a young Irish woman convict (Aisling Franciosi) who seeks vengeance against the members of the colonial forces of Tasmania who have committed terrible crimes against her and her family.

De Niro: confirmed mook. "Now take me to jail." - D Trump. Tender Greens? More like Tender GROANS. Vinnie gets to write for Mike Tyson. I went to see Dick Tracy and a movie called Come And See, and I had two what Sallah from Indiana Jones would call "Bad dates." 

Un luogo in cui le parole possono essere letali quanto le pallottole, il progresso una minaccia e la Morte una garanzia. Uno scenario di atti crudeli ma anche di nobili gesti. Questo e molto di più è il Western cinematografico. Godiamocelo! Nell'Australia del 1880, la violenza dilaga e così anche i fuorilegge. Tre fratelli criminali dovranno ritrovarsi e forse scontrarsi per affrontare le conseguenze di una proposta che cambierà le loro vite. Dalla penna di Nick Cave all'occhio di John Hillcoat, una tragedia western dall'ambientazione australiana spietata e crudele che narra di una terra prossima a una serie di cambiamenti che distruggeranno tutto e tutti. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/madmike3/message

This week on Fabulous Film and Friends we are pointing our compasses southward to the land of doom and gloom:Australia! Don't be fooled by the likes of Paul Hogan, Yahoo Serious and Thor, underneath that loopy, whimsical Australian charm, lies an unparalleled grim and sober yet prophetic outlook about life on Earth as evidenced by 1971's Walkabout directed by Nicholas Roeg, though full disclosure: he's an Englishman who shepherded Jenny Agutter, Luc Roeg, David Gulpilil and John Meillion to cinematic prominence, then 1982's The Road Warrior aka Mad Max 2 directed by George Miller and starring Mel Gibson, Bruce Spence, Kjell Nillson, Max Phipps, Vernon Wells, Mike Preston, Arkie Whitely, Viginia Hey and Emil Minty then topped off with The Road directed by Australian native John Hillcoat and starring Viggo Mortenson, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Charlize Theron, Garrett Dillahunt, the late Michael Kenneth Williams, Guy Pearce  and Robert Duvall.  My guests today are once again the series regulars who have both the stomach and gloomy disposition to take solace in rewatching these films back-to-back-to-back, Roseanne Caputi and Alex Robertson.Okay before we go on a walkabout of our own, the synopses: In Walkabout, a perfectly ordinary pair of upper-class English siblings get lost in the Australian outback after their father takes them for a picnic then tries to murder them. They look to be perfect candidates for either heat stroke and/or vulture food until they are rescued by a young Aboriginal teen out on his Walkabout.  The Road Warrior/Mad Max 2  raises the stakes of the original Mad Max and picks up the story with ex cop Max Rockatansky travelling the barren, hellish, post-apocalyptic highways and stumbling upon an evil road gang led by a brute named Lord Humungus. Humungus is hellbent on invading a compound belonging to a group of  civilized and intelligent settlers who have built an oasis around the last of the oil wells and have running lights and supplies. Losing numbers and their morale under the constant attacks of Humungus, the settlers hatch a plan to escape the vermin on wheels and flee to the coast with their oil in tow. With the help of Max and a pilot called the Gyro Captain, the settlers are given a slim chance to survive.  In The Road a Man risks all to protect his Boy and teach him survival skills in another bleak and nightmarish future where all plant and animal life is gone and the dominant humans subsist through murder and cannibalism.    Which film is king of the outback/queen of the end times?Find out!

Matt and Eric end all things Guy Pearce with brutal Aussie Western THE PROPOSITION, from John Hillcoat and Nick Cave. Plus, rad news about Noah Hawley's ALIEN TV series, THE BLACK PHONE 2 news, and more...

Nick Cave is a musician, songwriter, author, and actor, best known as the frontman of the band Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, though is also beloved for his early group, The Birthday Party. Albums from The Boatman's Call (1997) to Skeleton Tree (2016) showcase Cave's ability to craft emotionally charged and intellectually stimulating compositions filled with hauntingly poetic lyrics. Beyond music, Cave's authored several books, including And the Ass Saw the Angel (1989) and Stranger Than Kindness (2021). His collaborations with director John Hillcoat on movies like The Proposition (2005) and Lawless (2012) have received critical acclaim. And he maintains an open and engaging dialogue with his fans through his newsletter, The Red Hand Files. This podcast was recorded the day after the conclusion of Caves's duo tour with Radiohead's bassist, Colin Greenwood, in Los Angeles. A few days after recording this podcast, he used The Red Hand Files to write the following message to his fans: “After I stepped off stage at the final show, I changed from my grey suit into a blue suit, ate some seafood with Colin, and then headed to the aftershow, where I hung out with some old friends for an hour or so before going back to the hotel with Susie. We stayed up for a few hours and then tried to sleep, but I was hyped up, so I took a sleeping pill at 4 am — which was a dumb idea because I had an interview that morning with Rick Rubin for his podcast. Anyway, when I woke up, I put on a grey suit, jumped into the car with my driver to go to Malibu, did Rick's podcast (which could turn out quite interesting as I'm not sure the sleeping pill had completely worn off), then started back to L.A. In the car, I began to feel a bit rough, so we parked up at Zuma Beach, where I threw off my clothes and jumped into the sea in an unsuccessful attempt to restore myself; then we carried on to the hotel, where I changed from my grey suit into a blue suit before heading to Book Soup for [a] signing . . . After the signing, I returned to the hotel feeling tired and weird, sat up with Susie for a while, went to bed, woke up about 2 am, threw up in the sink and collapsed unconscious on the bathroom floor. Susie found me there and hauled me back onto the bed; my assistant was called to the hotel, some extremely handsome emergency paramedics turned up, a lovely nurse arrived and fixed me to a drip, and later, I spoke to an eighty-nine-year-old saint of a doctor who diagnosed an acute gastro event.” ------ Thank you to the sponsors that fuel our podcast and our team: LMNT Electrolytes https://drinklmnt.com/tetra ------ House of Macadamias https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/tetra ------ Squarespace https://squarespace.com/tetra ------

Actor Mike Whittier joins the show to discuss John Hillcoat's adaptation starring the incredible Viggo Mortenson! In episode 276, Luke, James, and Mike discuss the merits of method acting, the role of improvisation, Robert Duvall's transformation, how a faithful adaptation can still make some tough choices about what to omit, and how less ambiguity makes for a very different story.

In light of Cormac McCarthy's recent passing, let's return to his pulitzer-winning novel THE ROAD to celebrate a master with an episode dedicated to his memory. In episode 275, Luke & James revel in the beauty revealed by darkness, compare The Man to recent father figures in media, discuss what they'd be willing to do to survive, wonder about the messages behind old men wandering alone, put some images into their brains for forever, and argue that the novel gets a bad rap for being completely hopeless.

In today's episode of Bingeworthy, our TV and streaming podcast, guest host Joe Scott explores the lives of star-crossed lovers as well as love-crossed country music stars in the award-winning Showtime miniseries "George and Tammy." Created by Abe Sylvia ("Nurse Jackie," "The Eyes of Tammy Faye," "Hap and Leonard," and "The Affair"), all six episodes of the miniseries were directed by Australian filmmaker John Hillcoat. A veteran helmer of music videos, Hillcoat first broke out in the world of cinema with the brutally austere 2005 western "The Proposition," a movie many critics compared to the Cormac McCarthy novel "Blood Meridian." Interestingly enough, McCarthy agreed with these comparisons, going so far as to give the director permission to adapt his then-unreleased novel “The Road,” which Hillcoat translated to the big screen in 2009.

We're bidding a fond farewell to our Australian cinema series and riding off into the sunset with a brutal, beautiful Outback western that deconstructs the romantic mythmaking of the genre and delivers a sparse, unflinching, and heartbreaking portrayal of the sudden inevitability of violence, the hubris of trying to tame an “uncivilized” land, and the tenuous bonds of honor and brotherhood. Oh, and did we mention it's a Christmas film? So finish up your bath, gather your loved ones together, and accept our proposal to sing the praises of John Hillcoat's THE PROPOSITION (2005)!

This week Jake delivers the pathos from the East and West in two, dramatically different, but no less dramatic picks. First, we kick things off with the updated Wuxia tragedy from master Sammo Hung, starring Andy Lau and an Orca named Wayne in Moon Warriors (1993). Then we head on down to Bummertown, USA (pop. 2) with Viggo Mortensen's depressingly square butt cheeks and a whole lot of cannibalism in John Hillcoat's The Road (2009)  

This week on Scene Stealers, Leo & Charles use a time machine to open the vault and discuss Alfred Hitchcock's 1946 thriller Notorious and Rian Johnson's  2012 Sci-Fi hit Looper.  They crack the safe and dive into the deep cast of complicated characters for John Hillcoat's Triple 9.

There once was a film that was Gladiator.  It was a thing.  Singer-songwriter-novelist-actor-screenwriter-genius Nick Cave was asked personally by Russell Crowe - Maximus himself - to write a sequel.  And he did.  You can find the script online.  The rest, as they say, is history.  (Spoiler alert: There is no sequel to Gladiator.)

The gang just takes 40 lashings this week, as they review the Australian "western" movie penned by Nick Cave, The Proposition. Starring Guy Pearce and Ray Winstone, this bleak drama has all the bleak realism of The Rover, and adds acting chops from John Hurt, and a Nick Cave soundtrack, plus hard-to-watch torture. The full movie is available uncut on Youtube, so watch it this week, then follow along with Pete, Joseph, and Tyler and see if you line up http://www.MCFCpodcast.comEmail us at MCFCpodcast@gmail.com    Leave us a voicemail (209) 730-6010Joseph Navarro    Pete Abeyta   and Tyler Noe    

Tratto dal libro Premio Pulitzer di uno dei miei autori preferiti, The Road è forse la storia più bella tra padre e figlio che abbia mai letto e visto al cinema. Viggo Mortensen è qui un padre che viaggia in un mondo post apocalittico e desolato, assieme al figlio, tentando tutto il possibile per aggrapparsi ad un piccolo barlume di speranza proteso al futuro. Un viaggio di formazione, di ricordi e costellato di pericoli, nel quale però non mancherà tenerezza e la possibilità di crescere e comprendersi a vicenda. Bellissima fotografia, una colonna sonora minimale ma decisamente intensa, per una pellicola essenziale, che rende il giusto omaggio e segue quasi fedelmente le orme del libro di McCarthy.

Derek chats to one of Scottish football's much loved goalies, John Hillcoat for a fun look back at his time between the sticks. John has stories galore from his 15 different clubs with plenty of laughs throughout. He also tells us about his stint as a columnist for The Sunday Mail and what keeps him busy nowadays. Enjoy folks!

In this roundtable, we host a rich conversation between Director John Hillcoat and Cinematographer Benoit Delhomme. You don't want to miss this special tête-à-tête from these longtime collaborators and friends. They talk with us about a bounty of topics including how they first met, the two incredible films they teamed up together on: Lawless and The Proposition, and a life altering premonition they each experienced... (This Film Roundtable conversation would not be taking place if they hadn't listened to their intuition, but you have to listen to hear the full story.) They share anecdotes about the trials and tribulations as well as the magic that is the process of filmmaking and talk about how shooting in Australia isn't just shooting in another country, it is like shooting on another planet: the light, the landscape, the heat and the flies! They also share how creative Benoit had to get at times to light scenes without lights (because of the heat!) as well as reflecting on what he might have done differently at this stage in his career. They discuss the process of storyboarding a film and how important it can be but also how equally imperative it is to be able to put that pre-visualization aside and surrender to the organic flow of the actors and the moment. They then discuss film vs digital (Lawless was one of the first films to be shot on the Alexa Raw) and the heartbreak they experienced when the film was not screened at Cannes using the film print they made. They also talk about the “Netflix” look and how the richness of cinema is fading away, and how much more it could change after this past year on Zoom and what our eyes are getting accustomed to. They chat about lensing and aspect ratio and Benoit shares his experience shooting with the new BLACKWING 7 lenses. This conversation is full of teachings and such a treat!!

Galen Howard joins Tea Time with Lindz: A Podcast About Creatives for another fun episode. Listen to how Galen navigated his way early on in Hollywood and how knowing his branding type very early on helped him in this navigation. Since then he's worked steadily in a wide range of mediums, genres and roles. In music videos he's worked along side such artists as Johnny Hallyday, Weezer and Justin Timberlake (for the Oscar-nominated song "Can't Stop the Feeling"). During his career he's had the pleasure of working with such acclaimed directors as Jared Hess, John Hillcoat, Mark Romanek and Rusty Cundieff. You can watch Galen on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and of course the infamous Weezer music video. You can follow Galen on Instagram @galenhoward and on Twitter @_Galen_Howard_

In the nineteenth episode of Season 3 (Manifest Destiny) Kyle is joined by cinematographer Josh Carter and fellow podcaster Sean Ellis (of Ellisinema podcast) to discuss the philosophical extension of the American Wests Manifest Destiny to the expansionism of the Australian penal colony in John Hillcoat's beautiful, poetic, and brutal outback western, The Proposition.

A review for The Proposition. An Australian Western starring Guy Pearce, Ray WInstone, Danny Huston, Emily Watson, David Wenham, John Hurt, and more. Written by Nick Cave. Directed by John Hillcoat.

Big guest this week! Top screenwriter Matt Cook - the writer of TRIPLE NINE, PATRIOTS DAY, ANGEL HAS FALLEN and THE INFORMER. Matt joins us to talk about his film TRIPLE NINE, which has legitimately one of the best casts of any movie ever period. Casey Affleck, Anthony Mackie, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Clifton Collins Jr., Woody Harrelson, Aaron Paul, Kate Winslet, Gal Gadot, Norman Reedus, Teresa Palmer and Michael K. Williams. On top of that, it's directed by John Hillcoat, director of the stellar western THE PROPOSITION and THE ROAD. If you love movies like HEAT, DEN OF THIEVES, THE TOWN, and so on, this is for you. Matt tells me how he got the idea, how they got that insane cast, and we talk about the differences between his script (which he shared with me for the podcast) and the final film.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dan-benamor/support

This week our heroes consider Ben Affleck's portrayal of alcoholism - a subject he knows only too well - in The Way Back; a fabulously unflinching biography of Princess Margaret; the Black Lives Matter-informed Queen & Slim; the Anglo-Japanese Netflix drama Giri/Haji; and John Hillcoat's entry in the Black Mirror stakes, Crocodile.

This week we are talking about Lawless (2012), directed by John Hillcoat with a screenplay by Nick Cave — yes, that Nick Cave. The film stars Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Jason Clarke, Guy Pearce, Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska, Dane DeHaan, and Gary Oldman.  We enjoyed this movie, even though it's simply good enough, and not great. There are some enjoyable moments, and we wander through them. 

It's Christmas! So, after the year that was 2016, it's only fair to discuss the most Christmassy film that Australia has to offer. Yep, that'd be John Hillcoat's dirty, disgusting western epic, The Proposition. Once again, Andrew has dragged Michael Denniston from War Machine VS War Horse kicking and screaming to discuss an uplifting epic about death and retribution in summertime 1880's Australia. But, before that discussion, Andrew and Bernadette go into the (short) history of Australian Christmas films, while also discussing the importance of recognising Aboriginal Culture in films.

This week on The Sci-Fi Movie Podcast, Jonathan and Rem discuss The Road from 2009 and directed by John Hillcoat. Listener Feedback  Liz Irwin This is one of those incredibly depressing movies. It was a really well done film but not one I can watch more than once. Sue Lavictoire Read the book and saw the movie only years ago and as usual they were different but they were good. Robert Sedler The Road is one of the best post-apocalyptic films to come out of a genre that's had its fair share of both highs and lows. Bleak, colorless, and unforgiving, the raw landscape of the world is all too believable. Add some fantastic acting performances into the mix and you have essential Sci--Fi viewing. (Great Podcast, guys, keep up the good work!) Jordan Bonaparte A dark and painful movie/book to watch/read, as a father I find some beauty in the relationship between the main characters, but as a human living amongst other humans I find the story and setting very believable, and that's scary as hell. I would say this is a much watch for anyone into dystopian fiction... Beautifully tragic. Seth Heasley Love it, but don't really want to watch it again. Being a father, this hits really close to home. Josh Adams (from the ‘I Hate Critics' Podcast) For all of the critical talk about despair, drab colors, and lack of life in The Road, I found quite a bit to hold onto. Viggo Mortensen's performance as the father, doing everything he can to maintain some semblance of reality for his child, is completely unheralded. Maybe it's his gaunt frame, maybe it's his piercing visage, but I found a new depth to him as an actor that Eastern Promises and Lord of the Rings had previously not roused in me. I found myself in his shoes, feeling the tension the entire film, waiting for something awful to happen to him or his son. That tension and the bleak nature of the world around them lent more power to the few glimpses of joy the film gives them. When you consider the post-apocalyptic genre, substance usually sits in the far back with respect to style. Director John Hillcoat crafted a substantive film from Cormac McCarthy's novel that I felt a part of, bleak or not. It is a film that I felt was far more what our current world would produce than The Walking Dead or something similar. I hate to speak of this feeling as something only I own, but the father-son dynamic between Mortensen and Smit-McPhee is, I feel, an excellent representation of all the feelings all fathers have for their sons. The need to protect, the need to teach, the need to pass on. Those 'survivalist' feelings, to me, run parallel to the way our world has always been, and the film seems to understand that. Ergo, as the father and the son go, so does the world. It's not a feeling exclusive to parents, or fathers for that matter, but it's certainly something I feel strongly about, and something that seems to be instinctive. I love this film, and I feel very strongly that it is an unheralded, subtle masterpiece. Alicia Postigo Hey guys! First, I love your show. Second, I enjoyed this this movie very much - of course I love Viggo Mortensen so I'm not very objective. The movie is very touching. I was surprised when I first saw it because I don't usually dig post-apocalyptic movies, but the father-son relationship got me. My favorite quote is "You carry the fire [What fire?] The one inside you."   The Sci-Fi Movie Podcast is a member of the Podcastica Network, visit Podcastica.com The Sci-Fi Movie Podcast is partially funded by Patreon.

This film directed by John Hillcoat boasts an all star cast including, Chiwtel Ejiofor, Casey Affleck, Anthony Mackie, Woody Harrelson, Jesse Pinkman, and Kate Winslet among many others. Will this film use the cast to their full potential or will it fall into the category of botched heist film.

I am joined today by Will Mavity as we discuss the fallout from the 2016 Oscar ceremony. I also discuss my thoughts on John Hillcoat's new film "Triple 9," the Best Foreign Language Film Winner "Son of Saul" and the inspirational sports drama "Eddie The Eagle." On today's "Cinema Throwdown" Will and I debate over which journalism film is better, the recent Best Picture winner "Spotlight" or Michael Mann's "The Insider."
