Podcast appearances and mentions of John Malkovich

Send us a textSPECIAL NOTE: SEASON 15 OF THE GOOD, THE POD AND THE UGLY CELEBRATES THE USE OF THE PRACTICAL AND DIGITAL EFFECT KNOWN AS THE SQUIB. IRL GUN VIOLENCE IS INTOLERABLE AND RENOUNCED BUT... CINEMATIC VIOLENCE WILL BE CELEBRATED IN A WAY WHICH WILL DISTURB SOME LISTENERS.  TGTPTU returns to its regularly scheduled Squib Games (S15) with the earlier of its latest temporal pincer movement pairing, TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA (1985).  Directed by William Friedkin, this is another Big Willie movie but not a Wyler: the second William has the credited surname of Peterson and this is his first film. William Peterson was so new to film acting that he called his fellow Chicagoan thespian buddy John Malkovich to see what he should quote as his asking price to play the lead character of Richard Chance, a thrill-seeking Secret Service agent who'll lose his partner only days from retirement (red-shirted partner's, not Chance's) and will get a new partner in John Pankow's Agent John Vukovich to pervert in his (Chance's) vengeful pursuit of a counterfeiter played by Willem Dafoe. (Next year Peterson would play another officer of the law in Manhunter as covered during TGTPTU's Mann Aged Season {S5,E5}; as an EPISODE CORRECTION Pankow did not portray Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in Miloš Forman's film Amadeus but had done so at the Broadhurst Theatre, replacing Tim Curry.)  Because it's a Friedkin flick, there's an epic car chase meant to top The French Connection; because it's shot from a Friedkin script (adapted from a novel by former Secret Service agent Gerald Petievich, who receives a cowriting credit), there was a lot of improvisation on set driven by the actors, with both the ending and opening scenes re/written during shooting. Mentioning actors, the film is stacked with supporting roles by Dean Stockwell, John Turturro (who'll get more mention later in Season 15), and the Michael Mann-created film noir for television Crime Story's very own Darlanne Fluegel (listen back to S5,E6 for insights on this TV series).   TGTPTU hosts become split on the merits of the film. Thomas describes the movie as The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973) on neon cocaine, but—no spoilers—you'll have to listen to the ep for whether he believes this is a good thing. Also, Jack lets out the three-legged dog and Ryan, while finding it impossible to resist singing the title, has issue with William Pederson. Ken convinces everyone to Wang Chung tonight.  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-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Aujourdʹhui dans Travelling, une histoire retorse, pleine de manipulation, de rouerie, mais aussi dʹhumour, et dʹamour, où on voit comment le séduisant vicomte de Valmont parvient à déshonorer la jeune Cécile de Volanges tout droit sortie du couvent et à faire fléchir la vertu de Madame de Tourvel, sous lʹinstigation de sa maîtresse et confidente, Madame de Merteuil, audacieuse manipulatrice. Cette histoire, cʹest celle des Liaisons dangereuses de Chordelos de Laclos que met en scène un anglais, Stephen Frears dans un film qui va marquer les esprits. En 1988, une version anglophone dʹun roman épistolaire français du 18e siècle, devient un phénomène de société et assoit le statut de star de Glenn Close et de John Malkovich. Au scénario, Christopher Hampton, un anglais, qui a déjà adapté le roman en pièce de théâtre à succès. Derrière la caméra, son complice de toujours, Stephen Frears, punk  à lʹancienne qui nʹhésite pas à ruer dans les brancards et à dépeindre le pire de ses contemporains. Après avoir filmé les tares de la société britannique de son temps, le réalisateur plonge avec la même fraîcheur dans lʹunivers de Laclos. Stephen Frears est fidèle au 18e siècle, prouvant la modernité du texte et de ses personnages désormais légendaires. De tout cela, il ressort un film qui sʹarticule comme un opéra moderne à la noirceur étudiée, une tragédie en plusieurs actes qui ne tombe jamais dans la caricature du film en costumes. Le film est primé, nominé, la presse internationale sʹextasie et le public est au rendez-vous. Cʹest une réussite sur tous les plans. Les complots libertin sʹaffutent dans un ballet dʹéventails, de  maquillage outrancier, de crinolines et de perruques poudrées. Il ne nous restent plus quʹà ouvrir notre porte au vicomte de Valmont et à Madame de Merteuil pour un duel de lʹamour à mort. REFERENCES Vadim, Frears, Forman, Les liaisons dangereuses, lʹévénement du jeudi du 23 au 29 mars 1989 Auto interview de John MALKOVICH qui présente le film de Stephen FREARS "Les liaisons dangereuses"(extraits du film), parle de son rôle (Valmont) "probablement mon plus grand rôle". https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xf8klv Brigitte E.

Czy naprawdę wiemy, czego pragną kobiety – i czy mogą dziś otwarcie mówić o swojej seksualności?W tym odcinku rozmawiam z dr Moniką Łukasiewicz – specjalistką zdrowia intymnego – o tym, jak współczesna nauka i praktyka kliniczna rozumieją kobiecą seksualność.Monika Łukasiewicz to uznana ginekolożka, endokrynolożka, androlożka i seksuolożka z wieloletnim doświadczeniem klinicznym. Specjalizuje się w diagnostyce i terapii zaburzeń seksualnych u kobiet i mężczyzn. Jest autorką licznych publikacji naukowych oraz książek popularyzujących wiedzę na temat zdrowia intymnego, seksualności, relacji i samopoznania.Rozmawiamy o biologicznych uwarunkowaniach pożądania, roli hormonów, ale także o tym, jak seksualność kobiet kształtowana jest przez relacje, przekazy kulturowe, wychowanie i codzienne doświadczenia. Czy seksualność zmienia się z wiekiem? Dlaczego u niektórych kobiet pożądanie nie pojawia się spontanicznie, a mimo to może być źródłem satysfakcji? I co wspólnego z wielopasmową autostradą ma… John Malkovich?Nie pomijamy również głosu osób, które nie odczuwają pociągu seksualnego ani potrzeby aktywności seksualnej – czyli osób aseksualnych (ASów) – których doświadczenia także zasługują na uznanie i zrozumienie.Dr Monika Łukasiewicz dzieli się swoim doświadczeniem z gabinetu: jakie pytania zadają dziś kobiety, czego szukają, z jakimi trudnościami się mierzą – i dlaczego seksualność to nie „jeden wzorzec”, ale spektrum przeżyć. To szczera, merytoryczna i momentami zaskakująca rozmowa o tym, że kobieca seksualność to nie tylko kwestia fizjologii, lecz także język relacji, wolności i tożsamości.Odcinek powstał dzięki wsparciu Patronek i Patronów.Jestem Wam ogromnie wdzięczny za zaufanie i pomoc, które pozwalają mi tworzyć ten podcast bez konieczności szukania zewnętrznego finansowania.Jeśli widzisz wartość w mojej pracy, możesz mnie wesprzeć na:

The Fantastic Four are finally back on the big screen, with Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps now out in theaters! It has been a nightmare watching some of my favorite characters in all of comics continuously get butchered in big screen adaptations, and Kevin Feige & Marvel Studios have been promising that they're finally gonna deliver a faithful adaptation of the Fantastic Four. The Fantastic Four have, truly, always been some of my favorite characters in Marvel Comics. From the Byrne run of the '80s to the Jonathan Hickman run, they've also had some of my favorite long runs in all of Marvel. Even the current Ryan North run is fantastic. But for so long, film adaptations have never really understood what made the team awesome. The Fantastic Four: First Steps has been, without question, my most anticipated MCU movie of this era because all the trailers have really teased that this film will finally deliver on the intimate family dynamics, old-school optimism and whacky sci-fi of the stories I grew up loving. And the fact that this felt like the most unique movie in the entire MCU, because of it's setting and decor, was just a bonus. So, does The Fantastic Four: First Steps mark the triumphant arrival of some of the MCU's most captivating new characters, or is it another Multiverse Saga dud? Find out in this NON-SPOILER review!The Fantastic Four: First Steps:Directed by: Matt ShakmanScreenplay by: Josh Friedman and Eric Pearson and Jeff Kaplan & Ian SpringerStory by: Eric Pearson and Jeff Kaplan & Ian Springer and Kat WoodBased on the Marvel comics by: Stan Lee and Jack KirbyProduced by: Kevin FeigeCo-Producer: Mitch BellExecutive Producers: Louis D'Esposito, Grant Curtis, Tim LewisMusic by: Michael GiacchinoDirector of Photography: Jess HallEdited by: Nona Khodai, Tim RocheCasting by: Sarah FinnProduction Design by: Kasra FarahaniCostume Design by: Alexandra ByrneCast: Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ralph Ineson, Julia Garner, Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne, Sarah NilesSynopsis: Against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel's First Family is forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, while defending Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesMarvel Studios may be sitting out of this weekend's storied San Diego Comic Hall H, but that hasn't stopped the big news and updates from pouring in. First, last week in a huge move, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige invited a small group of journalists to Marvel Studios' offices where he laid out the future for the next 5 to 7 years for the MCU. The biggest takeaway, arguably, was Feige's cagey hints regarding a likely reset to the universe during the events of Secret Wars, saying, “Reboot is a scary word; Reboot can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. Reset, singular timeline — we're thinking along those lines.” Other tidbits from Feige's comments include a commitment to recasting the X-Men with new actors for their post Secret Wars film, an update on the Mahershala Ali-led Blade film and Sony's mandate that they stay away from a live action Miles Morales until the conclusion of the animated Spider-Verse trilogy. In Marvel news that looks to the more immediate future, director Matt Shakman shared that John Malkovich's role and performance as the Red Ghost has been removed from The Fantastic Four: The First Steps, which opens this week!Superman continues to live up to its name when it comes to its performance, as the superhero flick passed $409 million at the global box office in its second weekend of release. The $58 million second weekend, which is a respectable -54% drop from the opening weekend, is in keeping with 2024's Deadpool & Wolverine and bodes favorably compared to other recent releases from the comic book genre; plus coupled with other wins like A Minecraft Movie and Sinners, the latest success has helped Warner Bros become 2025's top earning studio with $1.32 billion in ticket sales.

On today's issue of Comicast the guys discuss the positive reception The Fantastic Four: First Steps is garnering so far, Matt Shakman's reasoning for cutting John Malkovich from the film, and the use of practical effects. The guys also deep dive into all of the information that Kevin Feige shared during a sitdown with journalists last Friday including realizing Marvel Studios released too much after Endgame, cutting down the amount of TV shows to 1 per year, pivoting to Doom, the X-Men casting, Spider-Man: Brand New Day being a street level story, Miles Morales' future in the MCU, the status of Blade, diversity in their stories, Secret Wars being a reset not a reboot, and more. Plus, the guys are frustrated with some movie goers... *MC takes keyboard* STOP SHINING YOUR DUMB PHONE LIGHT IN MY EYES!!! Follow Jong and Michael on social media.  Bluesky: @one-punch.bsky.social & @producermike975.bsky.socialThreads: @onepunch______ & @producermike975Instagram: @onepunch______ & @producermike975Rate, review, like, and/or subscribe to Comicast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Castbox, Goodpods, Podcast Addicts, or wherever you get your podcasts!  Feedback, questions, or topic ideas for the show?

That's not gonna happen! NostalgiaCast continues its '90s Bucket List season with a look back at IN THE LINE OF FIRE, directed by Wolfgang Petersen and starring Clint Eastwood, John Malkovich, and Rene Russo. Our buddy and actor/director extraordinaire Jeannette Miller returns to the 'Cast to help Jonny and Darin recap the pulse-pounding performances and cat-and-mouse thrills of Petersen's 1993 action classic, and also the unfortunate "window dressing" that hampers so many '90s films.

Look UP! Its a review of Superman! Plus, more fallout from the Xbox layoffs, what's in store for Final Fantasy's future, Resident Evil gets a multiverse, and the internet can finally calm down about the Legend of Zelda movie. Also Scrubs is back with its main cast, the Emmy nominations were announced, and why no love for Cassian? That and a whole lot more.

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay got the whole wide world, in their hands, as they discuss 'Con Air.' Bombay opens the proceedings by telling the time he had his own flight from hell from Asia which involved being awake for 36 hours after a bender, with his arm in a sling. Then the fellas talk about one of the goofiest studio movies of the '90s, a film where Jerry Bruckheimer tapped a gun for hire to do his best Michael Bay impression, and the KY budget was record breaking as everyone glistened on screen. Nic Cage's flowing locks, and hackey inconsistent sometimes southern, sometimes Cajun accent, gets top billing, but it's an insanely stacked cast. John Malkovich chews scenery to degrees that'll make your jaw hurt, Danny Trejo is an ultra predatory latin Pepe le Pew, and Steve Buscemi is a poetic psychopath who wears heads for hats. Meanwhile, approximately 58% of the plot revolves around Cage's Poe securing insulin for his friend. None of it makes sense, but it ends with not one, but two wild crash scenes that tear up the majority of the Las Vegas strip. Whether you love the movie or find it overly cartoonish you'll want to tune in for this episode ... "or the bunny gets it."

Let's talk flops, turns, and rivers, but more than that a story of a guy trapped between his past and future, and the decisions he has to make to shape the rest of his life. Rounders arrived in 1999, right after Matt Damon's Oscar win for Good Will Hunting. Did Rounders launch the Texas Hold Em revolution, perhaps ahead of its time.

Malkovich to you and welcome to the second set of Bong June-ho!This pair of episodes is all about thinking about the concept of a Guy. What if several guys became one guy? What if one guy was several guys? We're here to answer these questions and more, starting with Spike Jonze's 1999 dark comedy headtrip, BEING JOHN MALKOVICH.We get into Spike Jonze's BMX and MTV lifestyle, Charlie Kaufman's sketch comedy origins, our feelings on John Cusack, Cameron Diaz, and Catherine Keener. And of course the question everyone wants the answer to: why Malkovich?This movie's prescience lies in its surreal prediction of fan culture, and we are forced to invoke the dreaded phrase: "you couldn't make this today", while dredging up our corporate job histories. We're also drawing parallels between Bong Joon-ho's filmography and why he lists this as one of his favourites!Next time we wrap up our set of Guys by hanging out with several Robert Pattinsons in MICKEY 17!

In our discussion of Being John Malkovich we get into 1999 being the greatest year for American cinema, the rise and fall of the DVD, and our quarantine tips. Then things get weird; the absurdity of consciousness, nihilism, fluidity of identity, the power of art as expressed through dance… We attempt to get to the bottom of it all, only to discover it's Malkovichs all the way down. Whoa, man. This episode was originally released on Monday Apr 6, 2020 I Love This You Should Too is hosted by Samantha and Indy Randhawa Being John Malkovich is a 1999 American surrealist fantasy comedy drama film directed by Spike Jonze and written by Charlie Kaufman, both making their feature film debut. The film stars John Cusack, Cameron Diaz, and Catherine Keener, with John Malkovich as a satirical version of himself. Cusack plays a puppeteer who finds a portal that leads into Malkovich's mind.

We're diving headfirst into high-flying mayhem with Con Air, a chaotic symphony of explosions, one-liners, and mid-air madness—handpicked by our awesome Patreon supporter Susan from the Geek Girl Soup podcast!Con Air (1997) was born out of the mid-90s action movie boom, with producer Jerry Bruckheimer riding high from previous hits like The Rock and Crimson Tide. Wanting to blend testosterone-fueled chaos with a high-concept premise, Bruckheimer and the team crafted a story about a maximum-security prisoner transport gone wildly off the rails. The script, written by Scott Rosenberg, was inspired in part by a real federal program, but the film quickly ditched realism in favor of bombast and explosions. Simon West, a former music video director making his feature debut, was brought on to direct, bringing a flashy style that matched Bruckheimer's over-the-top vision.The production faced major challenges, especially with the practical effects and large set pieces involving planes, crashes, and convicts with very short fuses. Shot primarily in Utah and Nevada, including sequences at the infamous "Boneyard" in the Mojave Desert, the film used a combination of real aircraft, full-scale models, and miniature effects. Despite the logistical headaches, Con Air brought together a ludicrously stacked cast including Nicolas Cage, John Malkovich, Steve Buscemi, and Ving Rhames. Cage famously trained with DEA agents and adopted a Southern accent for his role — choices that added to the movie's now-iconic (and deeply memeable) legacy. If you enjoy the show we have a Patreon, so become a supporter.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/thevhsstrikesback⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Trailer Guy Plot SummaryIn a world where justice is served on wings of chaos, Con Air follows newly paroled Army Ranger Cameron Poe, who just wants to get home to his wife and daughter—but finds himself trapped on a high-security prisoner transport flight hijacked by some of the most dangerous criminals in America. With time running out and a plane full of maniacs soaring toward disaster, Poe must fight from the inside to stop the carnage, clear his name, and maybe deliver a heartfelt bunny rabbit along the way. Buckle up—this flight's going down in action-packed, slow-mo glory.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠⁠⁠⁠

A viewing of an old 80s movie has Andrew and Luke wondering when John Malkovich became a Serious Actor. And Luke is still embarrassed about a “four grape breakfast” situation that unfolded in his hotel this morning. 

Amy and Paul dive into the wild and inventive world of Being John Malkovich, the film that really put writer Charlie Kaufman on the map. The two discuss John Malkovich's hesitancy to join the film, how director Spike Jonze came across Kaufman's script, and that the film's original ending involved a Harry Truman puppet.
