Send us a textBuckle up for a hilariously unhinged episode of Entertain This!, where we strap on our best face-swapping tech to roast the gloriously absurd Face/Off (1997). John Woo's action fever dream stars John Travolta and Nicolas Cage, who trade faces faster than you can say “identity crisis” in a plot that defies logic, physics, and good taste. Our hosts cackle through the film's bonkers premise, from Travolta's unconvincing bad-guy strut to Cage's unhinged scenery-chewing that deserves its own Oscar category. We'll poke fun at the dove-filled slow-mo shootouts, the questionable science of face transplants, and the sheer audacity of a movie that asks, “What if two dudes literally swapped lives… and nobody noticed?” Is Face/Off a cinematic masterpiece or a gloriously deranged fever dream? Join us as we mock, marvel, and maybe secretly adore this '90s relic.

Gary, Terry, and Graham are back with another edition of Action Movie Landfill. This time, Gary has dragged out John Woo's 1996 nuclear heist thriller, Broken Arrow.Woo arrived in Hollywood with a reputation for high-octane Hong Kong action movies, and just a year later he'd cement his legacy with the classic Face/Off, once again teaming up with John Travolta. But how much does Broken Arrow serve as a warm-up for Face/Off — or is the stronger link to screenwriter Graham Yost, the man who wrote the script for Speed? For just over an hour, the gang rummage through desert chases, pantomime villainy, Hans Zimmer guitar riffs, and the question of whether this film belongs in the landfill.Download the podcast here or listen on the player below.

Connect with us via text! John Travolta's recent appearance at a Grease singalong sparked buzz not just for the nostalgia, but for how incredible he looked at 71. His transformation points to a larger trend: more men are embracing aesthetic treatments, from skin care to injectables, to maintain a youthful edge. In this episode, we dig into why men are investing in these procedures, the stigma that still surrounds them, and how shifting ideas of masculinity are reshaping the conversation around beauty and aging. From celebrity influence to men's most sought after treatments, we'll break down what this means for both professionals in the industry and male clients looking for confidence, career advantages, or simply to feel their best.SEGMENTS[01:06] Topic Discussion[34:02] Product Reviews[39:27] GameFollow DERMASCOPE:Instagram: @dermascopeFacebook: facebook.com/dermascopePinterest: @dermascopeTikTok: @dermascopeFollow Elizabeth, Lonice, & LaurenElizabeth Brasher Instagram: @theskingalLonice Stoker Instagram: @lacedbylonicespaLauren Farmer Instagram: @blush_n_beauty_medspa_Additional Links:Join AIA: dermascope.comVisit our website.Learn more about this podcast.Subscribe to the magazine.Read the August 2025 issue.

Get Shorty (1995) — the only Hollywood story where the mobster is the most charming guy in the room. John Travolta smooth-talks his way from loan shark to movie producer, Gene Hackman bumbles through toupee trauma, and there's enough double-crossing, script-flipping, and industry satire to make you wonder if crime actually is showbiz.

The massive success of “Pulp Fiction” created an arms race for talky crime films. Producers flocked to the genre master himself, author Elmore Leonard. After decades of failed adaptations, Hollywood once again raided his bookshelves, and first up was 1995's “Get Shorty,” a film MGM wanted Quentin Tarantino to direct. Too busy adapting another Leonard bestseller (Rum Punch, which would become “Jackie Brown,”) Tarantino passed, but not before convincing John Travolta to star as loan shark turned film producer Chili Palmer. Andrew Fryer joins Dennis to revisit this industry comedy that suggests Hollywood may be tougher to navigate than organized crime. After all, sometimes you do your best work when you've got a gun to your head. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

this week on Say Whats Reel, Dom and ILL , Q revisit the wild, overstuffed sequel to Get Shorty — Be Cool (2005)! John Travolta returns as Chili Palmer, the slick mobster-turned-Hollywood player who's now diving headfirst into the chaos of the music industry. With a cast stacked with big names like Uma Thurman, The Rock, Cedric the Entertainer, Vince Vaughn, and Andre 3000, you'd think this film would hit all the right notes... but did it?We talk about the highs, the lows, and The Rock stealing every scene as an aspiring actor/bodyguard with a flair for the dramatic. Is Be Cool a misunderstood comedy, or just a bloated misfire?

This is it: the end of the Wilderness Years road. Film journalist Ben Travis and animation academic Sam Summers close out an era in Disney history with 2008's action-packed pup adventure Bolt. Together, they discuss the ways in which the studio finally figured out their approach to making 3D CGI movies, unpick the unconventional production of the fictional ‘Bolt' show, ponder whether it all amounts to animal cruelty, explore how the film borrows from Toy Story and The Matrix, and talk the casting of John Travolta. Plus, Sam gets into some deeply meta Nemo lore, and Ben becomes obsessed with the character the film always needed: Gidget. Next up: Study Group!

John Travolta spent 18 years trying to turn L. Ron Hubbard's Battlefield Earth into the next Star Wars. Instead, he delivered a cinematic disaster that made Waterworld look like Citizen Kane. With alien dreadlocks, nonsensical plot twists, and more Dutch angles than Amsterdam, Travolta's passion project became Hollywood's punchline of the decade. Bitcherton co-stars Cassie Willson and Katie Marovitch join Misha to revolt against Battlefield Earth. Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

On this momentous FLASHBACK episode, I chat with writer and director Eric Appel who co-wrote and directed the 2x Emmy-winning ROKU original WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story starring Daniel Radcliffe as Weird Al. (I also make an appearance in the film.) He has also directed an array of TV episodes including Brooklyn Nine-Nine and the comedy action thriller series Die Hart starring Kevin Hart and John Travolta. After attempting to schedule this interview for many months, Eric was kind enough to give me an entire 90min of his time. I hope you will enjoy listening to our conversation as much as we enjoyed having it! Follow Eric across social media! Watch WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story on The Roku Channel!

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 WILL DISTURB SOME LISTENERS. Season 15's temporal pincer movement is inverted with this week's pairing to present its earlier film first. So, one week early, we present to you SCARFACE (1983) with returning guest Erik Van Der Wolf from the Blood & Popcorn podcast filling in for Jack who had a boat to catch. After last week's meager showing with First Blood, we return to the blood-filled squib in full force in a movie whose violent reputation Erik disputes, taking a chainsaw to arguments by contemporary critics and noting the various cutaways and reaction shows in lieu of direct onscreen violence. He also makes a case that director Brian De Palma shows uncharacteristic restraint in camera flourishes. What's unrestrained— agreed then and now—is the profanity, clocked at 1.32/minute “f's” given, timed by some film nerd and diligently regurgitated by one of your chin beard hosts who watched the Blu-ray commentary. Typically, we make a halfhearted attempt here in the show notes for a plot recap, but we all know the story of Scarface who's got his word and his balls. This 1980's remake marks a rare confluence of film and actual contemporary events as its Scarface, aka cocaine cowboy Tony Montana played by Al Pacino, is a Cuban refugee, mapping the original immigrant story of the 1932 movie onto real Florida violence. The film is also credited as giving Michelle Pfiefer her breakout role (if one discounts Grease II) in portraying coke whore arm candy. And actual Cuban immigrant and total hottie Steven Bauer plays Montana's bestie (and friend's sister-fucker) Manny Ray. Blood packets explode during a hotel drug deal gone wrong and again when Montana promotes himself over his boss's dead body and then again when given cocaine super powers at the end of the film as Scarface holds off a mercenary army of hitmen, but surprising no squib explodes when Montana shoots Ray in a fit of rage for what could be interpreted as incestual cockblocking. But you knew the plot already. Listen as adult boys who grew up in the VHS era (and Thomas) discuss a film that guest Erik loves and the others find a lesser entry in the De Palma 80s filmography. Guest Erik brings a reread of the Oliver Stone screenplay and filmic muscle memory to recite scenes from the formative flick; Ryan stays bullish on the original black and white gangster picture (and on the film Two of a Kind, the 1983 feature that reunited John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John after Grease I), mainly wishing the De Palma film was closer to the original film's runtime; Ken warms to the film and to Erik; and Thomas might have an opinion after his first watch but is more interested in the sequel videogame for the PS2 and prequel novels by comic book and erotic vampire author L.A. Banks. Next week, Jack returns to discuss the school shooter film Elephant.

John Travolta returns as sweaty strutting disco stud Tony Manero in this misguided sequel to Saturday Night Fever co-written and directed by… Sylvester Stallone? Tony makes a brazen leap from Brooklyn to Bizarro World Broadway (and from the '70s to the '80s) but soon finds himself not in a love triangle, but a love pentagon as he vies for the lead role in a dizzyingly demented Dante-meets-disco dance revue provocatively titled Satan's Alley (not to be confused with Tropic Thunder's monks-in-forbidden-love fake film). Javi, Paul and - divinely - Producer Brad embark on their most chaotic episode yet as they are relentlessly pummeled with headbands, leotards, lens flares, slow-mo, possible vampires, and the very apotheosis of The Frank Factor as director Stallone tries to turn this film into a career catapult for his brother to outshine the Bee Gees (who apparently didn't appreciate this). In the immortal words of the film, “It's a journey through hell that ends in an ascent to heaven. You might think it's simple, but if it's gonna work you gotta bust your asses!” And we did, so you don't have to. Let's strut!Show Notes:As Paul mentioned, Dennon and Sayhber, the choreographers for Staying Alive, offer classes. Here's the link to their site where you can sign up for dance classes. We can't believe we forgot to discuss the trailer for Satan's Alley, the fake movie from the movie Tropic Thunder!

Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie did the unheard of in the 70s. They both nabbed Oscar noms for a horror movie. Yes, Brian DePalma's "Carrie" was, much like Carrie White's house, a groundbreaker. Featuring telekinesis, the supernatural, religious fanaticism, and (oh yeah) an ever-flowing bucket of pig blood, "Carrie" seemed an unlikely slam dunk, but it scored big with both audiences and critics. Now, decades and remakes later, did Carrie White maybe overreact a smidge? Why did Betty Buckley get the worst of it? And how much 1970s pubic hair belongs in a film's opening credits? The Old Roommates pop on some corsages and give the classic a revisit through their middle-aged lens. Join them ... if you dare. Old Roommates can be reached via email at oldroommatespod@gmail.com.

Nearly 500 episodes in, and the Film Stories podcast finally arrives at a Godfather film. Specifically, The Godfather Part III, a fascinating project whose behind the scenes story went on for over a decade. The number of attempts to get the film made climbed into double figures, named such as Sylvester Stallone, Madonna and John Travolta were amongst those linked. But also: writer/director Francis Ford Coppola was not keen to make the movie. Writer/director Amy Heckerling had an opposite problem with Clueless. She was keen to make the story, but for a while, she couldn't get anyone to stump up the bill. When they did? Well, Heckerling finally got some of the respect she deserved... Stories of both are told in this episode... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
This week on Radio Labyrinth, we head back in time to revisit one of the most iconic films of all time. Released July 3, 1985, Back to the Future launched a trilogy that helped define a generation—and we're unpacking its legacy, the cast's careers, and why this Gen X touchstone still hits hard in 2025. Would Marty even travel to 1955 today... or maybe 1995? Dustin brings a Back to the Future Trivia Game packed with deep cuts—no softball questions here. Plus, we compare the epic Summer of ‘85 box office to the current Summer of ‘25 lineup and get nostalgic for DeLoreans, VHS tapes, and hoverboards.
And you thought Amos & Andrew was wrong-headed! This week, the guys discuss the colossal misfire White Man's Burden starring John Travolta and Harry Belafonte in a real racism mix-'em-up. It's as troublesome as it sounds! Does the premise completely miss the idea of classism? What's up with the weird 1950s sexism? Was that the most ridiculous downer ending? And just WHAT IN THE HECK is Travolta doing with his voice?! GOOD GOLLY. Next week: Our double whammy of Pop Star Summer begins.

If the Western is the godfather of American cinema, then the crime film is its son. With tough guys, shootouts, and explorations of morality, these movies capture the seedy underbelly of a post-war urban world.
