Writer, film critic, and educator Walter Chaw has been writing and thinking about cinema since he was a teenager -- when he discovered how it could make him feel understood, and that saved his life. Now, he's a critic whose unapologetically personal takes on cinema makes some folks love his work, and really pisses some other folks off. Despite his artist's temperament and his expertise, Walter wants to stay in touch with the common man...just like BARTON FINK, from the Coen Brothers' classic 1991 anti-ode to the Studio System. Then, Jordan has one quick thing about some exciting June Squibb News.

Welcome back to Not A Bomb!—the podcast where we resurrect cinema's most infamous box office disasters and ask the burning question: was it really that bad? We're celebrating five years of cinematic redemption.For the month of February, Not A Bomb is shining a spotlight on some of the greatest Black directors in cinematic history. This week, Troy and Brad take on their very first Spike Lee joint with his 1995 crime drama Clockers — a film that blends gritty realism, moral complexity, and Lee's unmistakable visual style.Set in a Brooklyn housing project, Clockers allows Spike Lee to use his sharp eye for cultural tension, systemic injustice, and the lived realities of urban America, the film becomes more than a crime story — it's a layered portrait of community, policing, and the cycles that trap people in impossible choices.Is Clockers one of Spike Lee's most underrated films? And how does it fit into the larger conversation about '90s crime cinema and Black storytelling on screen? Troy and Brad dig into all of it.Clockers is directed by Spike Lee and stars Harvey Keitel, John Turturro, Delroy Lindo, Mikhi Phifer, Isaiah Washington, and Ketih David.

Reposted from Wax Episodic, which you can find at: https://podcastica.com/podcast/wax-episodic — Okie dokey, that's it for Fallout season 2! We thought it was a great season finale, packed to the rads with answers (the Enclave is behind it all, and the President is one of them), more questions (have Hank and Steph been a thing for 200 years or what?), and as f$%ked up and funny as ever. Thanks from all three of us to everyone for joining us for this series! What a freaking blast it is, right? It was so much fun to cover, and we especially appreciate those of you who wrote and called in (but we love all of ya). I (Jason) hope you guys all stick around as Karen and I start with Apple TV's Severance next week. We're going back to the beginning and the plan is to cover the whole series, episode-by-episode, spoiler free. What is Severance, you ask? It's a trippy workplace sci-fi thriller where employees surgically split their work and personal memories, creating two separate versions of themselves. It starts as a clever corporate experiment and develops into an unsettling mystery about identity, control, and rebellion. Smart, stylish, funny, and quietly disturbing, with an incredible cast — Adam Scott, Zach Cherry (!), Britt Lower, John Turturro, Christopher Walken, and Patricia Arquette. Hosted by Jason and Karen. And if you're looking for something else to dig into, highly recommend checking out any of the other shows this podcast covers. They are… Pluribus (Apple TV): Everyone is transformed into a pleasant hive mind — except for Carol (Rhea Seehorn), the most miserable woman on the planet, who must save the world from happiness. It's sounds weird, and it is… in the best way. Created by the great Vince Gilligan, of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Hosted by Jason and Karen! IT: Welcome to Derry (HBO): A fun, scary, and surprisingly great prequel to the 2016 and 2019 IT movies, Pennywise stalks the children of 1962 Derry. A mix of heart, mystery, charm, and some shockingly disturbing Nightmare on Elme Street-esque horror. Cohosted by Shawn of Strange Indeed. Alien: Earth (FX): From the brilliant Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion), this one really scratches that sci-fi itch. A greedy corporate tech overlord transfers the consciousness of a group of terminally ill children into highly performant synth bodies. And the Xenomorph is in it, too. Also, Tim Olyphant! Hosted by Jason, Kara, and Randy. Come join our Discord and chat with hosts and other listeners: Don't know what Discord is?

Adam Scott (Severance, Parks and Recreation, Stepbrothers) is an Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated actor and comedian. Adam joins the Armchair Expert to discuss why the era of movies that produced ET, The Goonies, and Temple of Doom means so much to him, how Severance was in such apt alignment with the grief for his mother's death, and the reason playing “fan at bar” is way more embarrassing than “guy at bar.” Adam and Dax talk about a call of the void by licking lead, rebranding artisanal nicotine delivery systems, and the ethical dilemma of whether to sneak a peek at new season episodes. Adam explains sleeping through his first call time on set with John Turturro and Christopher Walken, not knowing where to put what he does to impress his mom once she was gone, and how sharing your insides is a credibly important way to make a difference in the world.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Bleek Gilliam (Denzel Washington) is a hot-shot young trumpet player leading his own jazz quintet who loves the music and has a way with the ladies but can't figure out how to reconcile those two things. He's also dating two women (Joie Lee, Cynda Williams) at the same time and can't commit to either of them. He has also a manager (Spike Lee) who's a gambling addict and a saxophonist band-mate (Wesley Snipes) who has developed a rivalry with him. So where does he go from here? In this sprawling romantic musical drama, we follow his complicated story and hear a lot of great music along the way! This was Oscar-Winner director Spike Lee's immediate follow-up to Do the Right Thing and even though it was a pretty unconventional choice to come right after such a seminal film, its reputation has only grown over the past thirty-five years thanks to several sterling peformances from its leads along with a stacked supporting cast including Giancarlo Esposito, Bill Nunn, John Turturro, NIcholas Turturro, Ruben Blades, Samuel L. Jackson, and the late, great Robin Harris in his last live action on-screen role.

Forrest, Kristina Oakes, Conan Neutron and Matt "The Letterhack" Strackbein talk about the classic Coen Brothers movie The Big Lebowski Written in the early 1990s, but not released until 1998 because John Goodman and Jeff Bridges had been quite busy. Starring Jeff Bridges as Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, John Turturro, Julianne Moore, David Huddleston, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Sam Elliott and Tara Reid. The Dude is bumming around Los Angeles, minding his own business, when a case of mistaken identity throws him into a kidnapping plot. #coenbrothers #thebiglebowski #jeffbridges #noirvember #noir #lebowski #film #moviepodcast #coen #bartonfink #stevebuscemi #johnturturro #johngoodman #1998 #fargos #fargo #neonoir #hostagedeal #kidnapping Forrest and Kristina are starting a new YouTube channel/show The Absurdity Space!! https://www.youtube.com/@UCa3LavkP9F_NxOnl0A2soXQ We are also streaming on @thisspacetv throw them a followJoin our discord: https://discord.gg/ZHU8W55pnhJoin our Patreon to get all our After Parties https://www.patreon.com/MovieNightExtraConan Neutron & the Secret Friends new noir inspired music video "A Villain of Circumstance" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXjmjKzbTSI
Med avstamp i begreppet "urban wyrd" tar vi ett par bestämda kliv rakt ner i tunnelbanan, stadens kollektiva undermedvetna. På vägen ner luftar vi också Freuds "das unheimliche" och psykogeografi, båda begreppen hyfsat relevanta för tunnelbanan som skådeplats i skräckfiktionen. Vi gör också vårt bästa för att få grepp om filmerna Quatermass and the Pit från 1967 och Deathline från 1972. Johannes gläds åt längdskillnaden mellan Donald Pleasence och Christopher Lee och pekar ut några viktiga faktorer som gör Deathline till en på många sätt politisk film. Tomas poängterar, med ett mått av skadeglädje, att Quatermass and the Pit hyllas av Carpenter i guldrullen In the Mouth of Madness genom att staden och tunnelbanestationen delar namn, nämligen: Hobbs End. Vi pratar också bland annat om: Adam Scovell, folk horror, Witchfinder General, Blood On Satan´s Claw, The Wicker Man, konfliktlinjen nutid/dåtid, folktro, vidskepligheter, The Folk Horror Chain, Candyman, Cabrini Green, isolation, urbana legender, folklore, hemsökt arkitektur, psykogeografi, liminal spaces, Nigel Kneale, science fiction, The Quatermass Xperiment, Quatermass 2, The Woman in Black, The Stone Tape, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, John Carpenter, Prince of Darkness, ockulta utredningar, Swinging London, kosmisk skräck, M.R.

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 THAT MAY DISTURB SOME LISTENERS. What's the rumpus? This week TGTPTU gives the Coen Brothers movie classic MILLER'S CROSSING (1990) the treatment as part of its Squib Season, see. Lensed by Barry Sonnenfeld in his last frolic as the brothers' cinematographer, Ethan Coen told the man with a golden eye that Miller's Crossing should be a handsome film about men in hats, and Sonnenfeld delivers the goods with one spectacularly shot period piece from the Prohibition Era. The picture stars Gabriel Byrne as Tom Reagan, the hard-drinking, harder-gambling Irish consigliere who knows all the angles, who's having an affair with his boss's skirt Verna Bernbaum (played by Marcia Gay Harden, who shortly after filming would originate the role of Harper Pitt in Tony Kushner's two-part play Angels in America, see Season 7 of TGTPTU for more!). Pod favorite John Turturro plays her brother Bernie, a conniving low-life crook who causes the friction in the ranks and can turn on the waterworks when needed. Jon Polito plays a loving dad allergic to the high-hat and with his right-hand J. E. Freeman playing the Dane (same year he'd star in Wild at Heart, see Season 4) they plan to take over the town from Albert Finney in one of his two roles as Tom's boss Leo (the other appearance uncredited, spoilers during the episode for this Easter egg). Also, director and occasional second-unit-for-the-Coens-director Sam Raimi (and, can you believe it, brother of actor Ted Raimi from Hard Target covered earlier this Squib Games season!) shows up to plug a speakeasy patron grabbing air before himself getting gatted. And if you still haven't had your fill, at this buffet of talent we even get a smattering of Steve Buscemi delivering ratatat dialogue for a scene. This ep, Jack brings the book report, Thomas the Danish facts, Ken reenacts the experience of watching Miller's Crossing with him by dropping movie quotes throughout the episode, Ryan brings up Gabriel Byrne's acting chops, and all four hosts harmonize on the greater good. Now get outta here. You're stinking up the joint.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? is a satirical comedy-drama musical film released in 2000, written, produced, and directed by The Coen Brothers. The film starred George Clooney, John Turturro, Tim Blake Nelson, Holly Hunter, John Goodman, and CHARLES DURNING in a 1930s Mississippi setting. In which a trio of escaped convicts travel across the American South in search of a supposed buried treasure, as Clooney attempts to re-connect with his divorced wife and children. The story was heavily influenced by Preston Sturges' film Sullivan's Travels, while also borrowing loosely from Homer's epic Greek poem The Odyssey, and featured a backdrop of period folk music, produced and arranged by T-Bone Burnett, and featured performances by Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris, Ralph Stanley, John Hartford, and numerous others. The film was a major box office success in its time, earned major critical praise for its sharp writing and gorgeous autumnal aesthetics, while its soundtrack swept the 44th annual Grammy Awards.On a rare, guest-free episode of Hell Is A Musical, Lilz and Scott take in a viewing of O Brother, Where Art Thou? and are thoroughly delighted. (Not to give away the ending of the podcast.) Join them as they ruminate on ancient brands of hair cream, point out innumerable Big Lebowski references that are totally there, engage in time-honored bouts of fisticuffsmanship, and bask in the majesty of CHARLES DURNING.#HotDurnAutumn...with Lilz & Scott!
Join award-winning actor John Turturro for a conversation with Happy Sad Confused's Josh Horowitz about his Emmy-nominated performance in Apple TV+'s hit series Severance, including clips from the show. Following a team of office workers at a mysterious company whose employees have undergone a procedure that surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives, Severance is one of the biggest hits of the season — a brilliant dystopian vision of work and corporate power. The gripping new season is being hailed as one of the most thought-provoking shows of the year, and as the ultra-devoted severed employee Irving Bailiff — for which he has been nominated for a 2025 Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama — John Turturro delivers a knockout performance. Alongside clips from the series, hear Turturro tell Horowitz the story of Bailiff's invention, his moving romance with Burt (Christopher Walken), what's next for Severance, stories from the set, and more in this live taping of the Happy Sad Confused podcast. Recorded Aug 13, 2025 at The 92nd Street Y, New York.
Ryan and Dylan dig into a few early Spike Lee Joints in anticipation of Highest 2 Lowest, his latest collaboration with Denzel Washington.
Dean Karayanis of the New York Sun fills in for Derek. Topics include the rest of the story behind the New York Times piece alleging that Black women are hardest hit by President Trump shrinking the federal workforce, John Turturro's very big performance in a small role in the Big Lebowski, Emma Watson inventing new terms for being single, and President Trump's push for transparency from Pfizer over the Covid-19 vaccine produced by Operation Warp Speed.
Right at the height of his '90's powers, Oscar-winner Spike Lee (Do the Right Thing, Inside Man, Blackkklansman) decided to direct and co-adapt this powerful crime novel from Richard Price (creator of "The Wire") about a murder investigation in Brooklyn which goes much deeper than any one could have expected. Among the prime suspects is Strike (Mekhi Phifer) who is a beleagured "clocker" which is another term for a middle-man drug pusher. This racket is truly taking its toll on Strike who wants to find an escape.....and on his tail is the lead investigator of this murder, Detective Klein (Harvey Keitel). Further complicating matters is that Strike's legit-working brother Victor (Isaiah Washington) becomes implicated and casting a shadow over all of this are the ruthless machinations of Strike's boss, the local druglord Rodney played by Delroy Lindo. What results is a searing, unflinching crime drama which kind of got lost in the shuffle upon first release but has endured over the past thirty years as one of Lee's most accomplished films. The stacked cast also includes John Turturro, Regina Taylor, Thomas Jefferson Byrd, and Keith David.

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.

As we continue or Summer of Sam, we bring in Sam Elliott and finally rolling into the lanes of one of cinema's most beloved cult classics: The Big Lebowski. Starring Jeff Bridges as the effortlessly iconic “The Dude,” John Goodman as the unhinged Vietnam vet Walter, Steve Buscemi as the soft-spoken Donny, Julianne Moore as the enigmatic Maude, and John Turturro as the unforgettable Jesus Quintana, this 1998 Coen Brothers comedy had us laughing, quoting, and marveling at how well it still holds up. Whether it's the surreal dream sequences, the endlessly quotable dialogue, or the offbeat charm of every character, The Big Lebowski remains as fresh and funny as ever.Revisiting this film felt less like watching a movie and more like hanging out with old friends. The humor has aged beautifully—if anything, it's even sharper now that we're older and more attuned to its satirical brilliance. With a supporting cast including Philip Seymour Hoffman, Tara Reid, and David Huddleston, the film continues to deliver unexpected laughs and layered performances. The Dude abides, and so do we. Join us for a nostalgic, hilarious, and surprisingly thoughtful conversation about what makes this film a true masterpiece of modern comedy.Stick around for a round of Trivia after the conversation.Safe bowling, dudes.

After a longer than expected Spring hiatus, The Film '89 Podcast is back and on Episode 134, returning co-hosts Matthias Van De Roest and Bill Scurry join Steve and Skye to celebrate the 40th anniversary of acclaimed director William Friedkin's 1985 crime drama To Live and Die in L.A. Something of a return to form for Friedkin after a number of critical and commercial failures, the film would tap into the same gritty police procedural approach that made his 1971 masterpiece The French Connection so successful. Starring William Petersen, John Pankow, Debra Feuer, Darlanne Fluegel, Dean Stockwell, John Turturro and featuring a brilliantly threatening turn from Willem Dafoe as counterfeiter Eric Masters, To Live and Die in L.A. also features gorgeous cinematography by Robby Müller and a stunning new wave soundtrack by Wang Chung. As well as giving their usual in-depth analysis, the guys also dig into the making of the film, paying particular attention to its incredible car chase sequence. So fasten your seatbelts and hold on tight as the Film '89 team explore one of the quintessential crime dramas of not just the 1980s, but any decade.
Send us a textDo you remember Desperately Seeking Susan from 1985? This movies got good review but the trailer sucked. Our recollection of Madonna Movies in the 80s is not overly favorable. The plot sounds ridiculous, but the nostalgia is definitely there. So join us as we go back and watch Madonna, Rosanna Arquette, and a whole list of famous actors not quite famous yet, get into some wacky hijinks that only the 80s could produce. Do You Remember Liking This Movie?

On this show, host Meg Wolitzer gets friendly, and shares three stories about friendships of all kinds. Kelly Stout's zinger “Let's Get Drinks,” offers up the perils of conducting a social life via hyperbolic texts, which are hilariously performed by Jane Curtin and Jane Kaczmarek. Next, “True Friendship,” by Jorge Hernandez, describes a life-long friend who's almost too good to be—true. The reader is Michael Urie. And three misfits fit together in Anthony Marra's “The Last Words of Benito Picone,” performed by John Turturro. A brief interview with Turturro follows the story.
Zach Cherry found fame in an odd way, he had a single line in a Spider-Man film and became an overnight success. Of course, things always look different on the inside. Zach and Donald discuss whether or not his second appearance in the MCU is conncected to his first. Plus we talk all things Severance. The Apple TV+ show has gained a huge following since it's first season, and for Zach it was an immersion in working with some of the greatest talents in Hollywood.

With Elon's 20-something operatives running the Treasury Department, it's hard not to feel that we've been severed from reality and a better Earth someplace else. Ben Stiller talks with Tim about metaphysics, avoiding politics in public, and advocating for the millions of people displaced around the world. Plus, the origin story of Severance, Adam Scott, John Turturro, and whether the show is a metaphor for life itself. Also, Tim gives a pop quiz, Ben shares his love for the Knicks, and both ponder why there aren't good comedies anymore.

Adam Scott (Severance, Parks and Recreation, Stepbrothers) is an Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated actor and comedian. Adam joins the Armchair Expert to discuss why the era of movies that produced ET, The Goonies, and Temple of Doom means so much to him, how Severance was in such apt alignment with the grief for his mother's death, and the reason playing “fan at bar” is way more embarrassing than “guy at bar.” Adam and Dax talk about a call of the void by licking lead, rebranding artisanal nicotine delivery systems, and the ethical dilemma of whether to sneak a peek at new season episodes. Adam explains sleeping through his first call time on set with John Turturro and Christopher Walken, not knowing where to put what he does to impress his mom once she was gone, and how sharing your insides is a credibly important way to make a difference in the world.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Today's cast: Dan, Stugotz, Chris, Amin, Billy, David Samson, and Mike. David Samson has a TON of thoughts on Scott Boras negotiating the largest contract ever at 15 years and $765 million for Juan Soto, but we'll get to those in a minute. Dan, Stugotz, and the rest of the crew outside of Samson kick off today's show by laughing at the Yankees, looking at what Soto's signing means for MLB and the Mets, praising Steve Cohen, and watching videos of Yankees fans like John Turturro's brother losing their minds. Was Soto EVER going to sign with a team that didn't simply offer the most money? Eventually, Dan welcomes Samson into the fold and tells him to "eat it" after Scott Boras wins again. Folks, the horse is out of the barn. Plus, we hear from noted Yankees fan, Taylor, through a Soto serenade. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
