Podcasts about John Ritter

Send us Fan MailTGTPTU's olds take a break from handing out shiny nickels and Werther's Originals warm from their pockets and yelling at clouds to join Gen Z cohosts Thomas and Jack for the latter's third pick from Ron Howard, the child star turned hack director's big studio, Industrial Light & Magic, four-quadrant blockbuster COCOON (1985).   Chosen due to nightmares it'd given to, and an insane plot retelling by, Jack's friend, this first-time watch for him is remembered fondly as a family outing and rewatch by Gen X cohosts Ken and Ryan. That friend's plot summary of extraterrestrials passing in human skinsuits abducting retirement home residents after seducing them with youthful lives of breakdancing and sexual congress does sound terrifying, but the film filters much of this through an all-star cast of Golden Age Hollywood actors (including this film's Oscar-winning Best Supporting Actor Don Ameche and his four-out-of-four-star gams) and the youthful innocence of child actor Barret Oliver from The NeverEnding Story (1984) and the titular Daryl in D.A.R.Y.L. (1985). The flick also has a mid-twenties Steve Guttenberg in short shorts. Who likes the Gute in short shorts? We like the Gute in short shorts.  Exclusive to listeners of this episode, Ryan reveals the location of Atlantis; Thomas considers sex as an and/or with elderly person(s); Jack reveals his childhood-trauma-by-proxy; and Ken is unimpressed by the chase scenes but very into Gwen Verdon's legs. Meanwhile, John Ritter's testicle enters the chat.   This episode is, to borrow a phrase, “blue steel; a cat couldn't scratch it.”  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

Send us Fan MailSeason 17's halfway to the finish line, and the TGTPTU boys are back from break revving their engines, ready for the next four in their “hack” director line-up. Jack's pick coming in third is Ron Howard, starting with his first film in the big chair, the “smash-‘em-up” smash success (for a Roger Corman feature) GRAND THEFT AUTO (1977).  Howard's only feature to co-write or to co-star in as director, the then-Happy Days star cut his teeth on GTA (no relation to the videogame) coming off the success as leading man-boy in the preceding Corman car chase flick Eat My Dust (1976). As part of Howard's deal with Corman, the success of EMD put the boy who once played Opie Taylor in TV's The Andy Griffith's Show in charge of first and second units, stunt coordinators, helicopters, and his kin/fellow actors brother Clint Howard and father Rance Howard—all this on the day after Ron's 23rd birthday.  GTA's plot follows young elopers played by Howard and Nacy Morgan (who might be best known as John Ritter's first wife), who've stolen Morgan's father's Rolls-Royce to avoid the pressure of her pseudo-arranged marriage to a rich dweeb. This theft leads Morgan's father, a prominent citizen about to run for major office, to have his security detail retrieve his car (and daughter). Morgan's jilted dweeb upon learning he's not to be betrothed assumes she's been kidnapped and calls a local radio station to put a bounty on her safe return before stealing a car to give chase himself, causing his wealthy mother to call the same station to offer a separate bounty for her son's safe return. From there, cars go crash, clang, boom, and pow.   Start peeling off your lead paint and start snacking on its sweet goodness to revel in this 70's film concept of comedy during what the hosts generally agree is a second-screener.   This ep, Ryan turns his head cold to his advantage as a radio announcer; Jack reveals this and Solo (2018) are the only Howard movies he's seen prior; and Thomas and Ken recommend (re)listening to the Any Which Way You Can episode and dunk hard on regular Howard collaborating producer Brian Grazer's hair.  CORRECTION: Jonathan Demme's film for Roger Corman wasn't Handle with Care (nor was it Woody Allen's Radio Days) but Caged Heat (followed by Crazy Momma) when Demme was giving Howard some Corman-related advice.   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

Detectives Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler search for a baby who was ripped out of her pregnant mother's body. The detectives learn Nichol Manning was having an affair and suspect the man who may be the actual father. But the alibi of Nichol's husband isn't adding up. Dr. George Huang says Richard Manning (played by John Ritter) is an arrogant neat freak who didn't want another man's baby ruining his life. Though the infant is later found dead, ADA Alexandra Cabot says they have to prove the child took one breath to make a murder charge stick. During a devastating cross-examination, Manning gives them the proof they need: he says the baby cried before he killed it.  We're talking about Special Victims Unit season 3 episode 11 "Monogamy." Our guest from our October 24, 2018 episode is Rebecca's best friend, Molly McKean, Esq.  The ripped from the headlines story is the murder of expectant mother Bobbie Jo Stinnett.   New episodes of These Are Their Stories will return July 8!

Matt and Laci take a long look at the 1998 horror-comedy film Bride of Chucky.    The Child's Play franchise stands out among the classic horror movie series because it has, from the beginning, largely been stewarded by one man: screenwriter Don Mancini. The show goes through Mancini's inspiration for writing the original 1988 film as a critique on the advertising industry, and the diminishing returns of the two sequels that caused the franchise to go dormant for most of the '90s. Then, the success of Scream led to a revitalization of horror, so Chucky was brought back from the dead, and this time, he'd have a manic gothic dream girl in the form of Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly). The history segment closes with a look at Jennifer Tilly's legacy, and how she had no idea how much playing Tiffany would define her career, or how much love people had for her character and the Chucky franchise. Then, Laci and Matt review Bride of Chucky itself—how well does it serve as a soft reboot of the franchise? Does the humor work? Does it successfully juggle its tones? Can puppets carry a movie on their own? And does something like this even need to try to be scary?

Cohen from Stephen King's 1986 novel of the same name.The story revolves around a predatory monster that can transform itself into its prey's worst fears to devour them, allowing it to exploit the phobias of its victims. It mostly takes the humanoid form of Pennywise, an evil clown. Cast members included Tim Curry (Pennywise), Richard Thomas, Annette O'Toole, John Ritter, Harry Anderson, Jonathan Brandis, Tim Reid, Dennis Christopher, and others. Produced by Green/Epstein Productions, It was filmed over a period of three months in Vancouver, British Columbia, in mid-1990 with a budget of $12 million, double the usual television budget. While divided critical perspectives towards It have continued in later years, the miniseries has become most known for Curry's version of Pennywise, considered by several publications to be one of the scariest clown characters in film and television. It has also spawned an Indiegogo-funded documentary film about the miniseries' production, titled Pennywise: The Story of It (2020); and an alternate history sequel short named Georgie, also by the producers of the documentary.It (titled onscreen as It Chapter One) is a 2017 American supernatural horror film directed by Andy Muschietti and written by Chase Palmer, Cary Fukunaga, and Gary Dauberman. Starring Jaeden Lieberher and Bill Skarsgård, the film was produced by New Line Cinema, KatzSmith Productions, Lin Pictures, and Vertigo Entertainment.A critical and commercial success, the film set box office records and grossed over $704 million worldwide, becoming the third-highest-grossing R-rated film at the time of its release, and grossed over $719 million through subsequent re-releases. Unadjusted for inflation, it became the highest-grossing horror film of all time. The film received generally positive reviews, with critics praising the performances, direction, cinematography and musical score, and was called one of the best Stephen King adaptations.The second film, It Chapter Two, was released in 2019, covering the remainder of the book. A prequel television series, It: Welcome to Derry, premiered on HBO in 2025, with Skarsgård returning as Pennywise.Chapters00:00 Introduction00:48 Overview01:10 IT Book by Stephen King04:03 IT Miniseries (1990)09:00 Pennywise The Story of IT Documentary and Georgie Short Film10:30 IT Chapter One (2017) VS.

Ahoy again, cruise lovers! Welcome back to E-Motion Sickness, the Word Balloon Love Boat re-watch where Ian Brill Franco and I climb aboard the Pacific Princess and relive the romance, comedy, and wonderfully over-the-top guest stars that made this show a Saturday-night TV institution.Today we're diving into Season 1, Episode 2, which originally aired October 1st, 1977 — and already you can see the formula that would make The Love Boat a hit for the next decade. Three stories, a boatload of celebrity guest stars, and plenty of romantic chaos on the high seas.First up is “Oh, Dale!” featuring a very young John Ritter, playing a heartbroken guy who sneaks onto the cruise disguised as a woman just to chase after the girlfriend who dumped him — and winds up sharing a cabin with another jilted passenger played by Tovah Feldshuh.Then there's “The Main Event,” where future Jeffersons legend Sherman Hemsley and comedy powerhouse LaWanda Page play a constantly bickering married couple who suddenly have to confront their relationship when they get trapped together in an elevator.And finally “A Tasteful Affair,” starring Jaclyn Smith and Dennis Cole in a romantic mystery where a woman trying to escape her troubled marriage takes the cruise — unaware that the charming man she's met on board is actually the private investigator her husband hired to spy on her.It's classic Love Boat: disguises, romantic misunderstandings, and a cast list that looks like a 1970s TV all-star game. So pour yourself a tropical drink, grab a deck chair, and join us as we revisit John Ritter in drag, elevator warfare with Hemsley and Page, and one of the early Jaclyn Smith appearances just before Charlie's Angels took off. This is E-Motion Sickness — a Love Boat re-watch — only on Word Balloon.

A special episode streamed live from Rage Expo onto (checks notes) TikTok.Young people found that interesting, so who are we to argue?The Curator Supreme of all things retro, Noel Opperman, joined us for a special show that made sure all the gamers around us knew that without the '80s, there would be no video games.Paulo impresses no one with stories of how he finished Contra and Super Mario Bros. on one life, while Noel spent a disproportionate amount of time in the 80s on the roof trying to watch SABC.Shots are fired at CDogg AGAIN — but Corey knows he has supporters in us.Paulo and Noel talk about Alyssa Milano for a while. We're sure it had something to do with something else… but Alyssa Milano — am I right?Paulo wraps up the movies so bad not even he could finish them. The gang agrees on James Brolin's eyebrows; Paulo and Dori do not agree on Withnail & I.Obligatory Stranger Things content is included for all those precious search words, and a round of 2 '80s Truths and a Lie proves that Dori's 20-year-honed ability to spot when Paulo is lying wins again.Jump To:Arcade and Video Game Nostalgia (00:05:40) Home Consoles and 80s Gaming Evolution (00:11:04) Video Game Factoids and 80s Trivia (00:15:50) Sibling Rivalry and Multiplayer Gaming (00:17:40) Space Invaders, Tetris, and Coin Shortages (00:18:59) Pez Bandit and 80s Collectibles (00:21:25) Corey Feldman and 80s Child Stars (00:24:03)Dancing with the Stars Drama (00:26:28) Corey Feldman's Divorce and Finances (00:32:40) Forgotten 80s Sitcoms and Early TV Roles (00:39:28) Living Dolls and Who's the Boss?

Send us a textShe's been a red herring, an accomplice, a therapist, and even a murderess—but no matter the role, April Telek brings heart, humor, and unforgettable energy. In this episode, Andrea and Eric sit down with the beloved Hallmark star for a wide-ranging, wildly entertaining conversation that covers everything from Garage Sale Mysteries and Cut, Color, Murder to her early days in Deadlock: Escape from Zone 14 (yes, really).April shares her journey through 150+ screen credits with refreshing honesty, deep gratitude, and a whole lot of laughter. She talks about being a champion for kindness on set, reveals what it's like working with icons like Henry Winkler and John Ritter, and dishes on Hallmark BFFs, fedora fights with wardrobe, and why being a red herring might be her favorite gig yet.

Continuing our look back at 1975 (which was just about fifty years ago, according to most historians), let's see what was on television. Specifically we're looking at the prime time schedule for March 30, 1975, which just happened to be Easter night. So the three networks offered a mix of special programming (The Ten Commandments, The Wizard of Oz, and a horrifying holiday Waltons rerun) and typical mid-70s action shows (Six Million Dollar Man, McCloud). Watch closely for special guest stars like John Ritter (pre-Jack Tripper) and Gavan O'Herlihy (post-Chuck Cunningham). Was it the greatest night in television history? Absolutely not. But it was 1975, and it was all we had. The Flopcast website! The ESO Network! The Flopcast on Facebook! The Flopcast on Instagram! The Flopcast on Bluesky! The Flopcast on Mastadon!

Folks, we're stretching a bit on this one.  Lynch noticed that Roger Waters performed "The Wall" at the Berlin wall in this month, and used that as an excuse to feature A Momentary Lapse of Reason, which was the latest studio album by Pink Floyd. Since that originally came out in 1987, we're asking you to squint a bit to see it's relevance to the summer of 1990.  That being said...A Momentary Lapse of Reason is the first Pink Floyd album released after bassist and primary songwriter Roger Waters left the band.  Waters had expected that Pink Floyd would simply disband, and was surprised when David Gilmour and Nick Mason decided to continue without him.  Acrimony and lawsuits appeared, but in the end a Water-less Pink Floyd continued on.Unlike many prior Pink Floyd albums, this one is not playing off a single concept.  Instead, it is a more traditional collection of songs.  Gilmour presented the album as a return to earlier Pink Floyd material, which was perhaps a reaction to common critiques of their previous album "The Final Cut" as a Roger Waters solo effort masquerading as a Pink Floyd album.  There are a number of well-known session musicians that participated in the making of this album.The album was a commercial success, debuting at number 3 on both the US and UK albums charts.  The US tour was the most successful of the year, selling out almost every venue it played in the States.  Roger Water's lawsuits would be overcome, and a settlement was reached between Waters and the band by the end of 1987.Lynch brings us this Pink Floyd reboot album for today's podcast and we're joined by guest host Julie Doran joins us on this episode. On the Turning AwayThis power ballad was co-written by Gilmour and British experimental composer Anthony Moore.  It is an anti-war song, one of the more political Pink Floyd songs written since the departure of Waters. It begins with a solemn Gilmour vocal supported by understated keyboards, then builds to an almost orchestral conclusion.  Learning to FlyA surprisingly upbeat song for the group, the inspiration for this first single is David Gilmour's experience learning to fly airplanes.  At the time he would do practice flights in the mornings and work in the studio in the afternoons.  It is also a metaphor for the band coming back together after splitting with Roger Waters.One SlipThe fourth US single discusses the long-term consequences of a one-night stand, and contains the lyrics that would become the title to the album as a whole.  Gilmour co-wrote this song with Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera.  Fans of bassist Tony Levin may recognize his work on a Chapman Stick in the instrumentation for this track.  ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Real Wild Child by Iggy Pop (from the motion picture “Problem Child”)This dark comedy starring John Ritter follows the trials of Ben Healy Jr. as he adopts a less-than-model child from a questionable adoption agency.   STAFF PICKS:Stop by Jane's AddictionWayne leads off the staff picks with a college radio hit off the "Ritual De Lo Habitual" album.  Lead singer Perry Farrell warns about apathy towards environmental disaster, telling people to turn off the smokestacks.  "And the water will run, come a day, the water will run, no man will stand for things he had done."Brave New World by Michael PennRob brings us a jangly deeper cut with a song with rapid fire lyrics off Penn's "March" album.  The song reflects confusion in where the singer is going, perhaps making a commentary on society as it heads into a "brave new world."  "This may not be my best day, but this ain't no golden age.  You looked pretty on the freeway.  Let's drive into the brave new world."Give It Up by Hothouse FlowersBruce features a s song from an Irish group off their second album, "Home."  This song that went to number 2 on the US Modern Rock chart is summed up in the lyrics, "Well, this song's inspired by a good man and his tune doing good for others, sing 'Amazing Grace' for you." Rub You the Right Way by Johnny GillJulie's staff pick is an upbeat hip hop song, and Gill's first single after he left New Edition earlier in the year.  Despite the lyrics, Gill was the son of a minister and got his start in gospel music.  He signed with Motown as a teenager.  Gill had become very accustomed to performing live, and had a difficult time switching to studio work.  Blue Sky Mine by Midnight OilLynch closes out the staff picks with the first single off Midnight Oil's seventh studio album.  The inspiration for the song was the experience of workers in the Wittenoom asbestos mines in western Australia, where they contracted a variety of asbestos-related diseases.  The "blue" in the title refers to "blue asbestos," a form of the mineral considered most hazardous. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Erotic Nightmares by Steve VaiGuitar virtuoso Steve Vai carries us out of this week's podcast.

It's Part 2 with Amy Yasbeck and we continue intimate and thought-provoking conversation, delving even deeper into topics that touch on family, love, loss, and spiritual growth. We begin with Pol' reminiscing about his grandmother's battle with dementia, sharing poignant memories of her wisdom and the deep emotional connection they shared and their spiritual connections. Amy draws parallels to her own Lebanese heritage, where family and spirituality played significant roles and shares touching anecdotes about her father trying to teach her Lebanese. We discuss more serious territory exploring health concerns that have touched our families. Amy, reflecting on her own experience with the sudden loss of her husband, John Ritter, shares invaluable advice on how to approach doctors and advocate for oneself when it comes to genetic heart conditions and the importance of being proactive with family medical history. A heartfelt conversation about relationships and love ensues and Pol talks about his philosophy on giving his best to his partner every day, and Patrik reflects on how people often give up on relationships too early. Amy offers her wisdom on the delicate balance between love and self-preservation, cautioning against staying in toxic relationships for fear of being alone. She shares how her love for John was unique and magical, confessing that she doesn't believe she'll ever find a love like that again. Can you guess what Amy's least favorite song is? It turns spiritual as we discuss the concept of heaven and the afterlife. Amy expresses her belief that while many think of heaven as a far-off reward, she prefers to focus on creating heaven on earth through meaningful connections with others. She reveals that she feels John's presence guiding her through life and that she has learned to embrace those signs rather than ignore them. We reveal our bucket lists. What do you think they are, and do they match up with yours? Amy lightens the mood further by sharing a hilarious story about her experience flying with the Blue Angels during her time on Wings, and her fantasy of racing through the empty streets of Los Angeles. It gets fun with our “haute topics” and the new Matlock reboot is center stage What connections does Amy have to the reboot and the original?  Our critiques on celebrity fashion in ‘Runway Rundown' offers candid and hilarious takes on the latest red carpet looks and Amy's own recent outfit gets dissected. Game-Time is “Amy Yasbeck – WINGSed it” no pun intended with a fun true-or-false game, where she answers questions about her career, including whether she guest-starred on Friends, voiced an animated character, and wrote a line in Pretty Woman.  As we wind down, Amy talks about her memoir, ‘With Love and Laughter', and how it helped raise awareness for aortic dissection, the condition that took John Ritter's life. Pol' continues the Armenian Coffee Grounds reading and encourages her to fully embrace her potential and follow her passions, and concludes on a heartfelt note with Amy sharing her belief in the power of alleviating suffering and living a life filled with purpose, love, and laughter.

This week we are with beloved actress, advocate and friend, Amy Yasbeck, known for her iconic roles in Wings, The Mask, Splash Too and the widow of legendary actor John Ritter. She takes us on an emotional journey through her life, career, and personal challenges and shares touching stories, laughs, and moments of deep introspection. We begin with the history of her necklace, which once belonged to John Ritter's mother and she reminisces about his parents and their Hollywood roots, weaving family history with personal anecdotes. We discuss travel, their time in Ohio, and the quirky realities of air travel back when smoking was allowed on planes. Amy reflects on her parents' early deaths from smoking, candidly revealing that she is now 62 years old and has overcome breast cancer herself, thanks to early detection. She emphasizes how crucial early detection has become in her advocacy work. Amy opens about John Ritter's tragic death in 2003 from an undiagnosed aortic dissection. She explains the medical complexities of the condition—how it can mimic a heart attack and why proper diagnostics, like a CT scan, are critical. With clarity and precision, Amy describes the mechanics of the aorta. The John Ritter Foundation, emerged from the heartbreak of John's passing, aiming to spread awareness about aortic dissection and discusses the life-saving efforts that her foundation has inspired, including her brother-in-law's diagnosis. She expresses the bittersweet reality of how awareness often comes too late reflecting on with empathy and insight.
