Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between.  Today we discuss Clint Eastwood, the director and the movie star. Our B-Sides are Breezy, White Hunter Black Heart, Blood Work, Flags of Our Fathers, and The Mule. Our guest is the impeccable Mitchell Beaupre, Managing Editor at Letterboxd.  We talk about Clint's Casper cameo and how that was probably the first thing all three of us saw him in a movie, John Wayne's disdain for Eastwood's on-screen persona, his uncanny direction of actors as well as his smart casting (ahem, The 15:17 to Paris notwithstanding) of actors. Often, if Clint is in one of his own movies, he will surround himself with talent as good (if not better) than himself. There's significant appreciation for his underseen Honkytonk Man, there's honest discussion of his ambitious performance in White Hunter Black Heart (playing a version of filmmaker John Huston), and we three reappraise his Flags of Our Fathers nearly twenty years after its underwhelming release. It's way better than you remember! Additional topics include Spielberg's protégés (from Phil Joanou to Kevin Reynolds to Brad Silberling), Breezy's beautiful rendering of the post-60s counterculture depression, and Blood Work's silly (and wonderful) twist ending.

Este 2 de Mayo se ha celebrado en Madrid la fiesta que conmemora el levantamiento del pueblo madrileño en 1808, levantamiento con el que comenzó la llamada Guerra de la Independencia contra los franceses, un episodio histórico que ha sido reflejado en el cine en numerosas películas. Recordamos también la figura de Hedda Hopper, famosa columnista de chismes y cotilleos que llegó a tener un gran poder en el Hollywood dorado. Charlamos con el director de documentales Javier Corcuera y en “Diligencia hacia el Oeste” traemos esta semana una de las grandes películas de la historia del cine: “El tesoro de Sierra Madre” dirigida por John Huston en 1948, con Humphrey Bogart y Walter Huston en los principales papeles.

In part two of our season finale, we explore the final decade of John Huston's life and career. As he was slowly dying of emphysema and undergoing massive turmoil in his personal life, Huston continued to work almost compulsively on both passion projects (The Man Who Would Be King, Wise Blood, Under the Volcano) and paycheck gigs (Annie). His career ended, fittingly, with two collaborations with the next generation of Hustons, Prizzi's Honor and The Dead.

This series began with the story of a director who wrote his autobiography to secure his place in history after his career had gone down the drain. It ends with the story of a man who wrote his autobiography as a “dead man walking”...and then continued to make movies for another half a decade, until the literal last breath left his body. Hollywood's original “nepo baby” director, John Huston was never a conventional studio system stalwart, and in some respects he was able to go with the flow of changing times a lot better than some of his contemporaries. In part one of our two-part season finale we'll talk about his flight from Hollywood to Ireland, literally playing God, Huston's long fallow period in the late 60s, Anjelica Huston's misbegotten film debut, Huston's reinvention in the New Hollywood era and the health crisis that almost ended it all.

A Deep Dive and Reminiscence of the classic 1948 Oscar Winning Adventure Drama THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE, Directed by John Huston and starring Humphrey Bogart, Tim Holt, Bruce Bennett and Walter Huston (in an Oscar Winning turn).***WARNING...SPOILERS***

This episode was originally released on March 3, 2015. Listen to help prep for the next episode of our new season, The Old Man is Still Alive. She was the raven-haired beauty whose lily-white persona was forged by her supporting roles in Gone With the Wind and several Errol Flynn swashbucklers. He was the real-life swashbuckler, the heroic lover/drinker/fighter whose directorial debut The Maltese Falcon, was an enormous success. They met when Huston directed de Havilland in his second film, In This Our Life, and began an affair which would continue, on and off, through the decade, as he joined the Army and made several controversial documentaries exposing dark aspects of the war experience, and as she waged a war of her own, taking Warner Brothers to court to challenge the indentured servitude of the star contract system. De Havilland's lawsuit went all the way to the California Supreme Court, and had massive implications on the future of labor in Hollywood and beyond.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

First, Katey talks to fellow long-time podcaster Karina Longworth about the latest season of her show You Must Remember This, which looks back at how iconic directors like John Huston and William Wyler adapted to the changes in Hollywood in the 1960s — and what we can learn from their struggles. Then, The Wedding Banquet director Andrew Ahn and his co-writer James Schamus talk about their unusual collaboration, working together to remake a film Schamus co-wrote in 1993 with Ang Lee, and update it for a modern audience while maintaining the original's scrappy indie film spirit.

In the season finale of our Visionary Remakes season, we investigate two versions of The Maltese Falcon, the original from 1931 and the more famous 1941 version.The Maltese Falcon has almost become shorthand for both Humphrey Bogart and the beginning of film noir. That famous film was preceded by a film adaptation a decade earlier, which itself was preceded by the hard boiled crime novel a year prior. The 1941 film has totally eclipsed both the original adaptation and the book in popular consciousness. Perhaps rightly so. John Huston's directorial debut is a masterwork in writing, editing, and acting. It has also been touted as one of the more rewatchable films from the era due to its production design, clockwork plot, and Bogart's enigmatic vibes.The Maltese Falcon is a great example of why some films should be remade. The remake improves pretty much every aspect of the original film. But our discussion takes a turn when Dan questions whether Falcon is truly a noir film. We dive deep into this topic and how labels and genres can often obfuscate the significance and heritage of a film. If The Maltese Falcon is not the first big noir film, then what gives it such a high value among film lovers and filmmakers? The answer of course lies within the film itself, not a genre label.

Book Vs. Movie: The Asphalt JungleThe W.R. Burnett Novel & the 1950 John Huston FilmW.R. Burnett's 1949 novel The Asphalt Jungle is a compelling crime story that explores the minds, motivations, and downfalls of professional criminals. Set in a Midwestern city, it offers a multi-perspective narrative that vividly portrays the underworld. John Huston's 1950 film adaptation remains faithful to the book while enhancing the story with striking cinematography and strong performances. However, it shifts the setting to an unnamed urban landscape and introduces Marilyn Monroe's expanded role as a corrupt lawyer's mistress. Between the novel & the film, which did we prefer? Listen to find out! In this ep, the Margos discuss:Author W.R Burnett and Film Noir of the 40s and 50s The work of John HustonThe differences between the book and movieThe cast includes Sterling Hayden (Dix Handley,) Louis Calhern (Alonzo D.

Send us a textWHITE HUNTER, BLACK HEART Episode 7, and you can feel the excitement of the hunt this episode, the first of TGTPTU's final paired rewatches of the Redux Season (Season 14) and another double Eastwood starting with a bang with WHITE HUNTER, BLACK HEART (1990, originally covered by TGTPTU during Season 3, Episode 9).   As flick curator extraordinaire Ken's second rewatch pick, the o.g. host hopes to sway opinion his way, believing this adaptation by Peter Viertel of his autobiographical roman à clef dramatizing his work and consternation with John Huston during preproduction on The African Queen to be a masterpiece, approaching Unforgiven in its use of Eastwood's (playing director John Wilson, a thinly veiled Huston) Hollywood persona. And Ken might just have an adherent in new host Ryan, who has a take(s) about Eastwood and the 1990's cinema scene and auteur theory and potential deeper meanings of this film. And Thomas offers insight into his own autobiography's veracity in the chapters that have him inventing snowboarding and fighting ninjas. Meanwhile, host Jack read was able to read 0% of the book to prepare for the ep and takes the brunt of Ken's anger upon relistening to the original episode.   On that episode nearly a half-decade ago, Jack had opined the film mid. Fellow Gen Z'er Thomas who'd guested on that original episode with Ken and Jack also found the movie somewhere between. But a rewatch with new pairings and fresh eyes outside the marathon of covering every Eastwood film during the first three seasons has surprises in store! Someone is called a Judas, and someone sticks to his elephant guns. Listen to find out who.  And if you ever wondered why the voice in the recent seasons' intro songs is “not supposed to fight with the guests, Mr. Wilson,” then you might just understand after listening, you yellow bastard.  THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gBuzzsprout: https://thegoodthepodandtheugly.buzzsprout.com/Letterboxd (follow us!): Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Send us a textOn this episode of Speaking Of…College of Charleston, we have a great conversation with Joe Kelly, director of Irish and Irish American Studies and Colleen Glenn, director of film studies at the College about Irish books and movies. The colleagues first met playing softball with faculty from the English department and quickly became friends. They put their heads together and took a group of students to Ireland for a study abroad program, traveling from Dublin to Galway.“When we do those visits, the students follow our discussions of films, like In The Name of the Father and they're really able to see the landscape and the culture that inspired the movie they they saw on the big screen,” says Glenn.They recount trips around Ireland, emphasizing locations featured in Irish films such as Dublin, Galway, Connemara, and Belfast. Films discussed include The Quiet Man, Michael Collins and Banshees of Inisherin among others, illustrating the socio-political history and cultural identity of Ireland. The episode also touches on significant Irish cinematic movements and celebrates the storytelling legacy and literary richness of Irish culture.The way Kelly's describes the landscape, and the novels are a clear indicator of his knowledge and love for the country. He's an in-demand professor for a reason.“John Huston did a film version of The Dead, which is a very quiet story,” says Kelly. “And it ends with this beautiful scene where Gabriel Conroy is looking out the window at the snow falling onto the streets of Dublin and he imagines it falling across the mutinous Shannon waves and the bog of Allen and out onto the crooked crosses in the graveyard where Michael Furey lay buried. It's the most beautiful prose I've ever read and it's a absolutely beautiful 10 minutes of cinematography too.”Featured on this Episode:Joe Kelly, director of Irish and Irish American Studies at the College of Charleston, has been studying and writing about Irish literature since the 1990s, and in the last fifteen years he's been writing narrative histories about American democracy. His next book, The Biggest Lie: A Hundred Years of American Fascism, 1818-1918, will be out this time next year.Colleen Glenn, director of film studies at the College, teaches courses on film history and American Cinema as well as special topics courses on topics like Irish Cinema & Hollywood Auteurs. In addition to co-editing an anthology on stardom, she has published on Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Stewart, and other film stars.Irish movies mentionedThe Quiet Man (John Ford, 1952)The Crying Game (Neil Jordan, 1992)In the Name of the Father  (Jim Sheridan, 1993)Michael Collins (Neil Jordan, 1996). The Wind That Shakes the Barley (Ken Loach, 2006 '71 (Yann Demange, 2014).  Hunger (Steve McQueen, 2008). The Field.

Director John Huston lived the adventurous life that was frequently depicted in his movies. As a young man, he was made an honorary lieutenant in the Mexican army. He was nearly shot during a poker game and challenged to a duel in the middle of the street. His thrill-seeking antics soon turned fatal, when he accidentally struck and killed a woman with his car while driving down Sunset Boulevard. He ran off to London to lay low, but soon found himself with no job, no money, no prospects–and no choice but to live on the streets and beg for change.

Glenn Danzig named his punk band after one of the most cursed Hollywood films of all time. The Misfits was where actor Montgomery Clift, permanently disfigured from a car accident, tried in vain to restart his stalled career. The director, John Huston, lost the film's entire production budget at a craps table. The lead actor, Clark Gable, suffered a heart attack the day after shooting ended and died ten days later. But was there any truth to the rumor that Gable was driven to an early grave not because of a grueling shoot or poor health, but by his demanding co-star, Marilyn Monroe?

This week's Empire Podcast features two cracking interviews with two directors at different stages of their career. First, actor-turned-director Jack Huston sits down on Zoom and tells Chris Hewitt how he managed to make his directorial debut, the black-and-white drama Day Of The Fight, recruiting Joe Pesci for a supporting role, and the influence of his famous grandfather, John Huston. [26:52 - 47:11 approx] Then, Helen O'Hara sits down with the great Bong Joon Ho, and his interpreter, for a lovely chat about Director Bong's new film, Mickey 17. [1:15:40 - 1:32:02 approx] Either side of those is a fun episode in which Chris and Helen are joined by James Dyer and, returning to the pod after an absence of a decade, Radio 1's Ali Plumb, to talk about how Michael Shannon might just have reunited R.E.M., wax lyrical about the greatness of Gene Hackman, and review Mickey 17, Day Of The Fight, and One Of Them Days. Oh, and if you're not a fan of Oscars chat, maybe skip the entire news section (which comes after Jack Huston and before Director Bong), as it's dedicated to an in-depth discussion of last Sunday's Academy Awards. But if you skip it, you'll never learn the incredible film facts that Ali, James, and Helen bring to the table, as a Three Fact Structure briefly threatens to break out. Enjoy!

I finally finished this goddamn Misfits project, so you won't have to hear about it anymore. (Unless something actually happens with it. 6% chance, hopefully the Bureau is understaffed…) I'd like to give most replies on Craigslist a Craigs-fist. The third favorite LA Fitness in 20 years is closing, because of course it is. A problem with my Harley that would only happen to me. Gene Hackman leaves us guessing, and stop bothering me about Epstein. Berenstein Bears Paradox: “homeless people are crazy” line, from Speed. I went to a Back To The Future event, and realized I'm so fucking old that half the things portended for the future IN sci fi movies are actually happening. (And much of it turned out to be pretty gay)

Locos por un mundo más libre, un aire más puro, algo en lo que creer. Lo que en inglés podrian llamarse "misfits" como la pelicula de John Huston que reunió a Clark Gable, Monty Clift y Ell Wallach con Marilyn Monroe. "Vidas Rebeldes", como se tituló en español, con Arthur Miller, su marido entonces, autor del guión con apuntes del natural. Un mundo en desaparición, unos vaqueros en el desierto de Nevada y una recien llegada cargada de soledad y decepciones que aún se rebelan contra su destino. Nunca una Marilyn tan desnuda, tan fragil, tan expuesta, nunca un mundo derrumbándose con tanta verdad ni una banda sonora con tanta emoción. Patti Page, Peggy Lee Julie London junto a "Soy Extraña", una "torch song" de los tiempos presentes..

In the thirteenth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by screenwriter Katy Baldwin and stunt actor Danny Hernandez to discuss one of the first entries in the category of camp film, John Huston's oddball and accidental inversion of the classic noir in the humorously existential and meandering hardboiled mystery that is the Truman Capote penned adaptation of James Helvick's novel Beat the Devil (1953).

This week's pick is the 1979 martial arts/adventure style movie Jaguar Lives! The Jaguar (champion martial artist Joe Lewis) travels the world constantly trying to stop the bad guys from doing bad things, we think? Maybe there is something happening with opium? We're not entirely sure. Featuring the likes of Sir Christopher Lee, John Huston, Barbara Bach, and a wonderful Donald Pleasence in small roles that make you wonder why they agreed to take part in this movie.

Hosts Josh and Jamie and special returning guest Eddie Averill (of Extended Clip) discuss the non-UNFORGIVEN entries in Clint Eastwood's self-reflective and self-implicating deconstructionist “too old for this shit” run of 1990s masterpieces: WHITE HUNTER BLACK HEART (1990) his personal, psychological and metafictional biographical portrait starring himself as John Huston during his time apparently becoming self-destructively obsessed with big game hunting while making THE AFRICAN QUEEN, and A PERFECT WORLD (1993) his sneakily complex, meditative and heart-wrenching criminal kidnapping/manhunt procedural meets buddy hangout road movie turned fathers-and-sons/justice system melodrama.

Dicen que Isidoro Martínez Vela-Ferry nadaba como un delfín y terminó produciendo, dirigiendo y exhibiendo cine. Fue un grande la natación española, el mejor durante la década de los 40 que culmina con su participación olímpica en Londres 1948. Todo el mundo lo reconocía por la calle, en la prensa era el héroe, 'otra vez gana Ferry'. Pero en su vida también había mucho cine.  Su padre fue en los años 20 y 30 el gerente de la Metro Goldwyn-Mayer en España. El estudio cine mientras nadaba y las competiciones internacionales le permitieron hablar en inglés en una España de postguerra donde pocos dominaban otras lenguas. Todo ese cóctel biográfico hace que cuando llegan a España las grandes producciones americanas termine trabajando con ellos  e incluso siendo ayudante de dirección de grandes como Orson Welles, John Huston o Michael Anderson entre otros. Los extras y especialistas de las escenas más complicadas solían ser, gracias a Ferry,  sus compañeros del Real Canoe Natación Club, sobre todo nadadores y waterpolistas. Incluso él mismo Ferry se hizo famoso en la prensa de Estados Unidos tras salvar del morir ahogado a John Huston en el rodaje de "Moby Dick" , "De campeón de natación a héroe americano" titulaba la prensa en Estados Unidos. Pero su gran salto es cuando se hace productor y codirige "El pisito" con Marco Ferreri en 1958. Ahí tocó el cielo y luego vendrían sus cortometrajes documentales deportivos con Blume y Bahamontes entre otros y sus largos de ficción como 'La cara del terror' , 'Escala en Hi-fi o 'Cruzada en el mar'. También fue un pionero en los rodajes submarinos que culminan su etapa activa y creativa en el cine. Pero su relación con el régimen franquista nunca fue la mejor y terminó cansado y necesitado de tener una vida más rentable. Y sin alejarse del cine compra terrenos en la costa mediterránea y monta cines de verano y multisalas. Se hace exhibidor para completar todas las facetas del cine y así fue hasta el final de su vida en Benidorn. Muchas de su salas siguen hoy abiertas y regentadas por su familia. Hoy pueden escuchar en este podcast la vida de un grande del deporte y del cine que como tantos no ha tenido el reconocimiento que merece. Nos han hablado de  Isidoro Martínez Vela-Ferry su hijo Isidoro Martínez, su sobrino Antonio Martínez Asensio, Rodrigo Gil, director de comunicación de la Real Federación Española de Natación e hijo de Juan Gil, que nadó con Isidoro y  Carlos Heredero, crítico de cine, historiador y director editorial de Cuadernos de Cine. Han colaborado Sergio Castro, Gemma Alegrí, Iñaki Pascualena , Pascual Donate y Marcos Granados.

This episode was originally released on March 1, 2016. Listen to help prep for the next episode of our new season,The Old Man is Still Alive. In the late 1940s, as the country was moving to the right and there was pressure on Hollywood to do the same, Katharine Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart and John Huston all protested HUAC in ways that damaged their public personas and their ability to work in Hollywood. Hepburn's outspokenness resulted in headlines branding her a "Red" and, allegedly, audiences stoning her films. Bogart and Huston were prominent members of the Committee For the First Amendment, a group of Hollywood stars who came to Washington to support the Hollywood Ten -- and lived to regret it. With their career futures uncertain, the trio collaborated on the most difficult film any of them would ever make, The African Queen.

Front Row Classics is taking a look at one of the most underrated films in Bette Davis' filmography during her time at Warner Brothers. Brandon welcomes Samantha Mason to look at 1942's In This Our Life. Samantha is a history teacher and movie buff who cohosts the Movie Club podcast with former Front Row guest, Hayley Chow. Brandon and Samantha dive into a film that was both current and ahead of its time in many ways. Themes of racial prejudice and possible incest are peppered into John Huston's potboiler.  The movie also features one of Davis' most unsympathetic character portrayals. She is supported by an amazing ensemble cast including Olivia de Havilland, George Brent, Dennis Morgan, Billie Burke, Charles Coburn and Hattie McDaniel.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 113 - Technical Knowledge for Cinematographers - with David Mullen In this special episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we're joined by our friend and cinematographer David Mullen (Season 1, Episode 83) to discuss what and how much technical knowledge a cinematographer ought to know these days. The conversation includes specific explanations of technical details (such as the difference between film grain and digital noise) and more general subjects (such as the importance of telling a story and eliciting an emotional response from the audience). We also share a number of work stories, including Roger's early-career exposure to cinematographer Douglas Slocombe's internal light-meter and David's experience seeing his work on a TV show smothered by a yellow filter during post. Reflecting on the diversity in images in older Hollywood films despite limited film stock and optical options, we maintain the position that the look of a film is the product of a cinematographer's eye (rather than the technology one uses), and David elucidates how cinematographer Oswold Morris developed the desaturated look of director John Huston's adaptation of MOBY DICK using the technology available to him to serve the storytelling. We also reflect on the lost knowledge of how films were made in the early digital days of the 2000s and stress the need to study and remember filmmaking history, recent and ancient. Towards the end, we also consider director Yasujiro Ozu's prolific and effective use of a single 50mm lens when the conversation drifts towards the phenomenon of people avoiding “boring lenses”. Plus, we highlight the need to understand basic high school mathematics (no excuses!).   Cinematographers at all levels, from the aspiring to the battle-worn, can enjoy and learn from this discussion, and we hope you enjoy listening. - This episode is sponsored by Aputure
