Suit up, listeners, because this week we're flying high (or maybe just hovering awkwardly) with The Meteor Man and Blankman.That's right.

Troy and Brad are joined by their sidekick in film discussion, a man who knows all things comic books and superheroes, Mr Korean Kool himself, John.Listen as we dive into these ‘90s superhero gems that weren't afraid to get a little weird. What happens when a mild-mannered teacher gains superpowers from a mysterious green meteor—only to discover his abilities include talking to dogs and making plants grow? And what's the deal with Blankman's unorthodox crime-fighting tactics and his hilariously named sidekick, Other Guy? Plus, what exactly is going on with Blankman's quirky robot companion, J-5?We'll dive into the neon gang wars and the inexplicably star-studded casts (hello, James Earl Jones rocking that wig) and determine if these films are bombs. More importantly, the guys decide which film is the champion for the week. It's an episode full of laughs, nostalgia, and plenty of homemade superhero charm.

It's an undead orgy on this fun yet frivolous episode which sees John McNaughton fill in for George Romero in the director's chair. The penultimate episode of Season 1 finds 'Masters of Horror' looking more like “Goosebumps for adults” than ever. Its title character finds himself confronting horrible truths about the ways love and lust can endure after death. Bennett and Jim wonder what the Haeckel estate must think of this strange tale, ask which periods Jon Polito could realistically live in, and discuss McNaughton's classic 'Wild Things.' Created by Mick Garris, Masters of Horror was a two-season series on Showtime that challenged genre legends to create an hour-long horror film. Follow along as Bennett and Jim are forced to spend no more than 20 minutes discussing each episode from the first season of the series or face a room full of poisonous gas.

In this episode, I take a deep dive into the Coen Brothers' Miller's Crossing, a 1990 neo-noir that redefined the gangster genre. I explore how Joel and Ethan Coen bring their distinctive style to this film, subverting genre conventions while maintaining their signature dark humour and narrative complexity.I discuss the outstanding performances from Gabriel Byrne as the sharp-witted Tom Reagan, Albert Finney as the tough but tender crime boss Leo, Marcia Gay Harden as the enigmatic Verna, and John Turturro's unforgettable portrayal of the desperate Bernie Bernbaum. I also examine the talented supporting cast, including Jon Polito, J.E. Freeman, and Steve Buscemi.Behind the camera, the Coens are joined by cinematographer Barry Sonnenfeld, whose lush, moody visuals capture the film's intricate web of power, betrayal, and loyalty. Composer Carter Burwell adds another layer with his haunting score, further enhancing the film's atmosphere. I analyze how these elements combine to create a unique take on the gangster film, fitting seamlessly within the Coen Brothers' larger body of work.Tune in to hear my in-depth analysis of Miller's Crossing and its place in the Coen Brothers' cinematic legacy!

When someone makes a list of the best 90s movies, this week's movie is usually on the list. I bring you my review of classic, The Crow. The Crow was Brandon Lee's final film. He sadly was accidentally killed on the set of The Crow. He was famously precluded in death by his father Bruce Lee, who also died far too early in life. We still got a masterful performance by Brandon Lee as Eric Draven, who comes back from the dead to avenge his, and his fiancée's, murder. He goes up against some slimy baddies led by the murderous and twisted Michael Wincott as Top Dollar. He gets help from a cop played by Ernie Hudson and his friend Sarah played by Rochelle Davis. The action, the drama, the tension is all accompanied by a edgy, hard-hitting lineup of tracks that enhance it all. Join me to do a deep dive on this dark classic. The Crow also stars David Patrick Kelly, Jon Polito, Bai Ling, Tony Todd, Sofia Shinas, Anna Thomson, Angel David, Laurence Mason, Michael Massee, Bill Raymond, Marco Rodriguez and Kim Sykes.

The Equalizer Season 4 Episode 12: Silent Fury Aired on CBS: March 8, 1989 Directed by: Russ Mayberry Written by : Donna Powers & Wayne Powers Featuring: Cynthia Nixon, Howie Seago, Jon Polito, Paul McCrane, Mark Boone Junior, Beth Ann Bull Another Equalizer special episode. This time he is helping the victims of a band of burglars who target deaf people. Among them, a young Cynthia Nixon in an impressive performance as a deaf person who calls on the Equalizer and has to mediate between him and her hothead fiancee. This episode takes on its special episode topic from many angles but as we note there are a few omissions (What do Cynthina and her fiancee do besides being deaf?), a few cut corners (Do people really just stand around the Center For The Deaf), and a few Equalizer-spiked additions ("What if the attack against the burglars was somehow hearing-themed?"). All that plus Chris shared his own stories about the topic which somehow break the podcast. @equalizerspod equalizerspodcast at gmail dot com https://www.facebook.com/equalizerspodcast/

Film writer, editor, and podcaster Jake Tropila joins from Los Angeles to discuss the Coen Brothers' 1998 comedy 'The Big Lebowski', starring Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Julianne Moore, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Though middlingly received both critically and commercially upon release, the film has gone on to become a genuine cult classic, launching a cottage industry of fan screenings, conventions, and even a religion.We discuss the film's patchwork of influences, including larger-than-life characters withing the Coens' orbit and the works of author Raymond Chandler, especially as adapted by Robert Altman for his 1973 film 'The Long Goodbye'. Then we discuss the film's unrivaled cast, including a superb John Goodman, who turns in an awards-caliber performance as the gun-toting, militant bowling enthusiast Walter Sobchak. Finally, we discuss the film's windy, inarticulable plot, and the way that its mechanics might conceal a deeper level of criticism about the sociopolitical landscape of America on the eve of The End of History.

The Big Lebowski (/ləˈbaʊski/) is a 1998 crime comedy film written, produced, and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. It stars Jeff Bridges as Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski, a Los Angeles slacker and avid bowler. He is assaulted as a result of mistaken identity, then learns that a millionaire also named Jeffrey Lebowski (David Huddleston) was the intended victim. The millionaire Lebowski's trophy wife is kidnapped, and millionaire Lebowski commissions The Dude to deliver the ransom to secure her release; the plan goes awry when the Dude's friend Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) schemes to keep the ransom money for himself. Sam Elliott, Julianne Moore, Steve Buscemi, John Turturro, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Tara Reid, David Thewlis, Peter Stormare, Jon Polito, and Ben Gazzara also appear, in supporting roles.The film is loosely inspired by the work of Raymond Chandler. Joel Coen stated, "We wanted to do a Chandler kind of story – how it moves episodically, and deals with the characters trying to unravel a mystery, as well as having a hopelessly complex plot that's ultimately unimportant."[5] The original score was composed by Carter Burwell, a longtime collaborator of the Coen brothers.The Big Lebowski received mixed reviews at the time of its release. Over time, reviews have become largely positive, and the film has become a cult favorite,[6] noted for its eccentric characters, comedic dream sequences, idiosyncratic dialogue, and eclectic soundtrack.[7] In 2014, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". A spin-off, titled The Jesus Rolls, was released in 2020, with Turturro reprising his role and also serving as writer and director.[8][9][10]WebsitePatreonTwitterFacebookInstagramRetro Latefee Podcast (@retrolatefeepod) • Instagram photos and videosTikTok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

We watched Blankman from 1994 starring SNL alum Damon Wayans and if you pay close attention you'll see fellow SNL alum Gilbert Gottfried on the TV in the background of one scene. This movie also has SNL hosts Jason Alexander and David Alan Grier (who should have been an SNL cast member) as well as Mike Tyson's girlfriend and Jon Polito. This was originally intended to be a movie starring Howard Stern as his Fartman character but got retooled into a movie that is neither a good comedy nor is it a good superhero movie. It's a big waste of time but we watched it and talked about it so Enjoy!Full archive of all podcast episodes available at saturdaynightjive.blogspot.comEmail us anything at saturdaynightjivepodcast@gmail.comDownload Here

Topics of discussion include another memorable scene transition, appreciation of some late greats (RIP, Alan North, Jon Polito, and Edward Wiley) bowdlerised movie quotes, some more fan-fiction ideas, lots of Simpsons references. NOTE: Please be aware that the audio quality is pretty grisly in this episode - though not, we can promise, in the next one.

Fred e Alexandre recebem o cinéfilo Marcelo Rennó para debater mais um grande filme. Chegou a hora de falar sobre uma obra dos brilhantes irmãos Coen e o escolhido foi "Ajuste Final" (Miller's Crossing, 1990), um novo clássico e neo-noir que em muito bebeu de romances de Dashiell Hammet, principalmente, Red Harvest e The Glass Key. Repleto de atores não muito conhecidos à época - Gabriel Byrne, Marcia Gay Harden, Jon Polito e John Torturro - mas ancorado na experiência e talento de Albert Finney - ator já consagrado e até então quatro vezes indicado ao Oscar - o roteiro brilhante e complexo de Ethan Coen e a direção inspirada de Joel Coen fizeram deste um dos melhores filmes da dupla, ainda que apenas o terceiro de uma filmografia que depois se mostrou de bastante qualidade. ---------------------- Acesse nosso site: http://www.filmesclassicos.com.br Acesse nosso grupo: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1475312462775785/ Nos procure no seu aplicativo de podcast do celular, no Spotify, YouTube, Anchor ou iTunes.

"In Living Color's favorite team of Damon Wayans and David Alan Grier joins Robin Givens, Jon Polito and Jason Alexander in this hilarious crime-fighting comedy about two slapstick heroes who triumph over evil... more or less. Clad in bulletproof underwear and his grandma's housecoat, Darryl Walker (Wayans) takes to the streets in pursuit of truth, justice and his first kiss" --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/radicalretrorewind/message

Critical Condition, released January 16th, 1987, is a Richard Pryor vehicle that is perhaps the most January-esq comedy we've ever done, in that it's not funny, has boring characters, nothing really happens, and was most likely dumped in January because it was bound to be a flop if released in any other month. We forced our guest Jacob Sacher (Paul Noodle PhD Candidate / Mr Yes and Mr No) to talk about it with us!

C.H.U.D, released August 31st, 1984, stands for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers... Or does it?! This week, we checked out this very underrated cult classic that feels like it's going to be more of a splatter horror film, but is actually more about the mystery about a conspiracy involving toxic waste and zombie-creature-things.

Jason's guests this week on the pod are Micheal Chernus and Emily Simoness, a married couple who join him to take a very deep dive into all the wonderful, like, greatness, man, of 'The Big Lebowski'. Michael's a Julliard-trained stage, TV, and film actor currently appearing on TV as speechwriter Ken Rosey opposite Edie Falco on the CBS series 'Tommy'. You might have also seen him as Piper's brother Cal Chapman on 'Orange Is The New Black' or playing Congressman Edward Tavner in Amazon's 'Patriot'. Michael's movie roles include portraying The Tinkerer, the original McGyver, in Marvel's Spider-Man: Homecoming; playing Tom Hanks' first mate Shane Murphy in the excellent Paul Greengrass film 'Captain Phillips'; and appearing opposite Will Smith in 2012's 'Men In Black 3". The other half of this power-couple, Emily, is the founder and executive Director of SPACE on Ryder Farm, a non-profit artistic residency program and organic farm located on the grounds of a 225-year-old family homestead in Putnam County, New York. But outside their professional accomplishments, they're just wonderful midwestern good people, whose self-effacing humor and innate smarts you'll hear on display in the podcast as we discuss the Coen Brother's 'The Big Lebowski'. ABOUT THE MOVIE: The Big Lebowski (/ləˈbaʊski/) is a 1998 crime comedy film written, produced, and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. It stars Jeff Bridges as Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski, a Los Angeles slacker and avid bowler. He is assaulted as a result of mistaken identity, after which The Dude learns that a millionaire (also named Jeffrey Lebowski) was the intended victim. The millionaire Lebowski's trophy wife is kidnapped, and he commissions The Dude to deliver the ransom to secure her release; the plan goes awry when the Dude's friend Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) schemes to keep the ransom money. Julianne Moore, Steve Buscemi, David Huddleston, John Turturro and Philip Seymour Hoffman also appear, in supporting roles. The film is loosely inspired by the work of Raymond Chandler. Joel Coen stated, "We wanted to do a Chandler kind of story – how it moves episodically, and deals with the characters trying to unravel a mystery, as well as having a hopelessly complex plot that's ultimately unimportant."[4] The original score was composed by Carter Burwell, a longtime collaborator of the Coen brothers. The Big Lebowski was a disappointment at the U.S. box office and received mixed reviews at the time of its release. Over time, reviews have become largely positive, and the film has become a cult favorite,[5] noted for its eccentric characters, comedic dream sequences, idiosyncratic dialogue, and eclectic soundtrack.[6] In 2014, the film was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[7][8] A spin-off based on John Turturro's character, titled The Jesus Rolls, was released in 2019 with Turturro also acting as writer and director. Cast Jeff Bridges as Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski. Bridges had heard or was told by the Coen brothers that they had written a screenplay for him. John Goodman as Walter Sobchak; a Vietnam veteran and bowling partner and friend of "The Dude." Walter was based, in part, on screenwriter and director John Milius. Julianne Moore as Maude Lebowski; Jeffrey "The Big" Lebowski's daughter, a feminist and an avant-garde artist. Steve Buscemi as Theodore Donald "Donny" Kerabatsos; a bowling partner and friend of "The Dude." Walter's repeated response, "Shut the fuck up, Donny!" is a reference to Fargo, in which Buscemi's character was constantly talking and interrupting conversations when he is not paying attention to the story. David Huddleston as Jeffrey "The Big" Lebowski; a millionaire philanthropist for whom "The Dude" is mistaken. Philip Seymour Hoffman as Brandt; Jeffrey "The Big" Lebowski's executive assistant Tara Reid as Bunny Lebowski; Jeffrey "The Big" Lebowski's blonde 20s-something trophy wife and former porn video performer (“Log Jammin’”) for Jackie Treehorn Productions. According to Reid, Charlize Theron also tried out for the role. Philip Moon as Woo; a Jackie Treehorn thug Mark Pellegrino as the Blond Treehorn thug Peter Stormare, Torsten Voges, and Flea as Uli Kunkel/Karl Hungus, Franz, and Kieffer, the German nihilists; Uli originated on the set of Fargo between Ethan Coen and Stormare, who often spoke in a mock German accent. Jimmie Dale Gilmore as Smokey; a hippie bowler in the league whom Walter threatens at gunpoint over an attempt to mark his frame an eight despite letting his foot move over the alley line Jack Kehler as Marty; The Dude's landlord, who is also a performance artist John Turturro as Jesus Quintana. The Coen brothers let Turturro come up with a lot of his own ideas for the character, like towel-shining the bowling ball and the scene where he dances backward from his bowling alley line, which he says was inspired by Muhammad Ali. David Thewlis as Knox Harrington, an avant-garde videographer-friend of Maude Lebowski Sam Elliott as The Stranger, a smooth-talking urban cowboy who also serves as the narrator of the film Ben Gazzara as big-time porn video producer Jackie Treehorn, to whom Bunny Lebowski owes money Jon Polito as Da Fino, a private dick who mistakes the Dude for a "brother shamus", hired by Bunny's family to return her to them Leon Russom as the Malibu police chief Aimee Mann as Nihilist Woman/Franz's Girlfriend who donates her amputated green nail-polished little toe (proof of Bunny Lebowski's kidnapping) Lu Elrod coffee shop waitress SOUNDTRACK The original score was composed by Carter Burwell, a veteran of all the Coen Brothers' films. While the Coens were writing the screenplay they had Kenny Rogers' "Just Dropped In (to See What Condition My Condition Was in)", the Gipsy Kings' cover of "Hotel California", and several Creedence Clearwater Revival songs in mind.[25] They asked T-Bone Burnett (who would later work with the Coens on O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Inside Llewyn Davis) to pick songs for the soundtrack of the film. They knew that they wanted different genres of music from different times but, as Joel remembers, "T-Bone even came up with some far-out Henry Mancini and Yma Sumac."[26] Burnett was able to secure songs by Kenny Rogers and the Gipsy Kings and also added tracks by Captain Beefheart, Moondog and Bob Dylan's "The Man in Me".[25] However, he had a tough time securing the rights to Townes Van Zandt's cover of the Rolling Stones' "Dead Flowers", which plays over the film's closing credits. Former Stones manager Allen Klein owned the rights to the song and wanted $150,000 for it. Burnett convinced Klein to watch an early cut of the film and remembers, "It got to the part where the Dude says, 'I hate the fuckin' Eagles, man!' Klein stands up and says, 'That's it, you can have the song!' That was beautiful."[25][27] Burnett was going to be credited on the film as "Music Supervisor", but asked his credit to be "Music Archivist" because he "hated the notion of being a supervisor; I wouldn't want anyone to think of me as management".[26] For Joel, "the original music, as with other elements of the movie, had to echo the retro sounds of the Sixties and early Seventies".[16]:156 Music defines each character. For example, "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" by Bob Nolan was chosen for the Stranger at the time the Coens wrote the screenplay, as was "Lujon" by Henry Mancini for Jackie Treehorn. "The German nihilists are accompanied by techno-pop and Jeff Bridges by Creedence. So there's a musical signature for each of them", remarked Ethan in an interview.[16]:156 The character Uli Kunkel was in the German electronic band Autobahn, an homage to the band Kraftwerk. The album cover of their record Nagelbett (bed of nails) is a parody of the Kraftwerk album cover for The Man-Machine and the group name Autobahn shares the name of a Kraftwerk song and album. In the lyrics the phrase "We believe in nothing" is repeated with electronic distortion. This is a reference to Autobahn's nihilism in the film.[28]

Edición número 161 de La Gran Evasión, 12/12/2017. Los hermanos Coen son unos expertos en mostrar esas vidas mediocres, que se ocultan en los confortables barrios residenciales de la América de los prósperos años cincuenta. Insatisfacción vital al descubierto. El estilo de vida americano esconde miserias inconfesables. En 2001, El hombre que nunca estuvo allí desgrana esas mentiras, mientras, lentamente, nos perdemos con el humo del cigarrillo de un peluquero cornudo que pasa por su vida sin vivirla, Ed Crane, magnífico Billy Bob Thorton. Nos inmiscuimos en la intimidad de un matrimonio con todo y sin nada, la señora Crane, Frances McDormand, que bebe y bebe sin parar para huir de su vida de casita con vaya blanca y camino de gravilla, un héroe de guerra poderoso y magnético, un triunfador, Big Dave, James Gandolfini en estado de gracia, un marica estafador, Jon Polito, un cuñado que no para de hablar, Michael Badalucco, una Lolita hermosa y delicada hasta el infinito que merece un protector, Scarlett Johansson…en fin, personajes Coen por excelencia, que nos describen el sueño americano tal cual es, una farsa…..apariencias que esconden, extorsión, desfalco, crueldad, adulterio, asesinato…. Revisión exquisita del cine y la literatura negra, ésta epopeya fatalista desprende el aroma de James Mallahan Cain, constantes referencias a la sombra de una duda de Hitchcock, a Lang y Perversidad, a Wilder y Perdición, a Kubrick y su Lolita….huele a cine negro clásico, trasladado a un pueblecito de California, Santa Rosa, dónde la sospecha de una infidelidad, la oportunidad de tomar las riendas de su vida, y dejar de ser un fracasado, es lo que pone en marcha esta sucesión de desgracias, absolutamente genial Billy Bob Thorton, que difícil es expresarlo todo sin apenas hacer un gesto, fumar y mirar como la fatalidad y la rutina te destruyen, el puro y simple azar. Los hermanos Coen nos proporcionan la definición exacta de un hombre alienado, en 1949 o ahora mismo, fascinante. Ed Crane es un pelele del destino, que se revela y esa osadía, trae consecuencias terribles a todo su entorno….una tragedia llena de ironía, pura mala leche Coen, el sueño americano abierto en canal. Como nos cuenta Albert Camus en “El Extranjero” sin motivo aparente, sin más, un hombre normal se convierte en un criminal, Ed Crane primero es un extorsionador, luego un asesino…..aunque sea en defensa propia, aunque intente confesar, aunque su catarsis, su deseo, es que lo atrapen, el principio de incertidumbre cae como una losa sobre su vida..…ya lo dice el petulante abogado de Sacramento, Riedenschneider, el mejor letrado que el dinero puede comprar: “Cuanto más observas, menos comprendes” Fumamos cine y mentiras desde la torre de Radiopolis, José Miguel Moreno, Raúl Gallego y Gervi Navío, con la voluta de humo se disipan las apariencias, la impostura y nos acercamos, poco a poco a la verdad, la verdad es una luz blanca, suena una sonata para piano de Ludwig van Beethoven y Birdy está tan, tan hermosa… Gervasio Navío Flores.

Anton Yelchin haben wir auch gleich ein Review gewidmet. Wir sprechen über Green Room, einem knackigen Nervenfledderer in dem sich eine Band nach einem Konzert vor einer Gruppe Skinheads verschanzt. Der Anführer der Aggressoren ist übrigens kein geringerer als Patrick Stewart, der hier einen formidablen Bösewicht abgibt. Und Anton Yelchin? Na hört selbst rein was uns an seiner Performance und was uns generell an Jeremy Saulniers Film mit grünen Räumen und roten Schnürsenkeln gefällt oder nicht gefällt. Über Jon Polito und Gene Wilder sprechen wir übrigens erst nach dem Review, beide sind verstorben, nachdem wir die Episode bereits aufgenommen haben. Unser Gewinnspiel läuft noch bis zum 30.9.2016. Wer uns weiter empfiehlt, uns Feedback gibt oder ein Review schreibt, hat die Chance, eine Blu-Ray oder DVD von einem unserer bisher besprochenen Filme zu gewinnen.

Os invito a realizar un viaje a la Tierra Media a los largo de la trilogía de "El Señor de los Anillos". Peter Jackson nos hizo un regalo con "La Comunidad del Anillo" (2001), "Las Dos Torres" (2002) y "El Retorno del Rey" (2003) a quienes en nuestra adolescencia conocimos las aventuras de Frodo, Gandalf y compañía. Una saga imprescindible que cuenta con el mejor trabajo del compositor Howard Shore. Vuelve el retrotráiler, vuestras peticiones y la sesión de bandas sonoras con las últimas novedades y un recuerdo a dos actores que nos han dejado, Jon Polito, el recordado Johnny Caspar de "Muerte entre las flores" (1990), y el gran Gene Wilder, uno de los artífices de "El jovencito Frankenstein" (1974). Espero que disfrutes de la proyección... www.elacomodador.es @AcomodadorEl

In a direct sequel to last week's discussion of how bad Suicide Squad is as a film in its own right, but also a spiritual sequel to our episode on the state of the modern blockbuster, this episode finds Matt and Ed using Suicide Squad as a prism through which to explore the worst tendencies of modern blockbuster culture, and how it is emblematic of a moribund summer movie season. They detail how hard it is for a film to turn a profit these days, why foreign box office is so rarely a saving grace, and the increasing toxicity of online discussion around blockbusters. They also pay tribute to Gene Wilder and Jon Polito, two actors they loved who passed away this week, and wax poetic about Jackie Chan and Patrick Ness. Here is the article by Todd Vanderwerff that Matt references during the main discussion. 00:00:00 - 00:12:31 - Intro & News 00:12:32 - 00:48:56 - Matt & Ed discuss Suicide Squad as it relates to modern blockbuster culture 00:48:57 - 00:54:46 - SRS Recommends & Outro

This week, we deep dive into the murky world of Alex Proyas' 1994 adaptation of The Crow, starring Brandon Lee, Ernie Hudson, and Jon Polito. Hosts Allen Christian and Steven Granger are joined by the returning Gerald James and brand new guest Alan Hardy Jr., as they share their expertise on the film with our comparatively ignorant hosts. This episode might present our deepest dissection of an film to date, yet we still manage to talk about a hundred other things. Marvel as Steven asks our guests questions, wonder as Allen's only offered opinion is a dislike for the shape of Brandon Lee's face, and stand in awe of the lament of aging goths.Also in this episode: The unavoidable conversation on WCW mainstay, Sting. Gerald doesn't know what timeless means. Paul W.S. Anderson is given shit. 90's soundtracks are discussed at disgusting length.Email: fourcolorfilm@gmail.comTwitter: @fourcolorfilmFacebook: facebook.com/fourcolorfilmWebsite: fourcolorfilm.com

For their third film, the Coen brothers decided to again make something completely different from what they've done before. With "Miller's Crossing," they made a gangster picture that honors conventions of the genre while also twisting those conventions, just as they did with "Blood Simple." And it worked for some people while not for others (and lead to a big bomb at the box office). Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — on this week's episode of The Next Reel as we continue our Drama by the Brothers Coen series with 1990s "Miller's Crossing." We talk about what we think of the film and why it's largely been a film that's been hard for both of us to get into over the years, yet one in which we finally connected this time — and liked quite a bit. We discuss the amazing performances from top to bottom in this film and what all of the wonderful actors — Gabriel Byrne, Marcia Gay Harden, Albert Finney, Jon Polito, John Turturro, J.E. Freeman, etc. — bring to the table. We chat about the role of the hat worn and lost time and time again by Tommy, Byrne's character, and what we think the Coens are saying with it. And we chat about some of the amazing production crew — Barry Sonnenfeld and Carter Burwell in particular — and why they stand out. (And we completely left out the amazing production designer Dennis Gassner and costume designer Richard Hornung, along with countless others — stellar work, all of you!). It's a tough film to follow but we both really got a lot out of it this time and had a great time talking about it. Check it out and tune in!
