Roger Corman (April 5, 1926 -May 9, 2024)—an iconic figure whose influence on Hollywood is nothing short of legendary—traversed the cinematic landscape from the late 1950's to the 1990's. Celebrated as the "Pope of Pop Cinema," the "Spiritual Godfather of the New Hollywood," and the "King of Cult," Corman was a pioneering force in independent filmmaking, forever reshaping the industry with his innovative spirit. Throughout his illustrious career, Corman collaborated with an impressive roster of emerging filmmakers, many of whom would go on to dominate the industry. Names such as Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, James Cameron, and Jonathan Demme began their journeys under his mentorship. It has often been remarked that Corman's guidance served as a vital training ground—what James Cameron famously referred to as the "Roger Corman Film School." His influence extended beyond mentorship; he was a catalyst for creativity and innovation. Nicolas Roeg served as the cinematographer for The Masque of the Red Death, while many of his protégés achieved Oscar success. Corman's reputation for fostering talent with a blend of encouragement and challenge left an indelible mark on cinema. As he famously advised, “If you do a good job on this film, you'll never have to work for me again,” exemplifying his role as both mentor and pioneer in the cinematic world. Join Azed and Tom as they explore the life and work of Roger Corman, a true maverick and inspiration for all aspiring filmmakers.  

Grab your fava beans and your garrote piano wire as NostalgiaCast takes a deep-dive into Martin Scorsese's CAPE FEAR and Jonathan Demme's THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, two killer thrillers from two American masters not typically known for their horror chops. Jason of The Slashers and Binge Movies podcasts joins us to discuss the terror, torture, uncompromising head games, and oppressive existential dread that defines not just these two box office behemoths but also the current state of film criticism today. TRIGGER WARNING: This episode includes frank discussions of violence and sexual abuse as associated with the horror genre.

A classic this week! Jonathan Demme's beloved but controversial, The Silence of the Lambs (1990.) From wiki: “The Silence of the Lambs is a 1991 American psychological horror thriller film directed by Jonathan Demme and written by Ted Tally, adapted from Thomas Harris's 1988 novel. It stars Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling, a young FBI trainee who is hunting a serial killer named "Buffalo Bill" (Ted Levine), who skins his female victims. To catch him, she seeks the advice of the imprisoned Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), a brilliant psychiatrist and cannibalistic serial killer. The film also features performances from Scott Glenn, Anthony Heald, and Kasi Lemmons.[3]Also discussed: crafts!, dunking on AI, The Last Days of Disco, All Over Me (1997), Girls Town (1996), The Incredibly True Adventures of 2 Girls in Love, Ma Vida Loca, The Castle (1997), Series 7, Longlegs, and more.  NEXT WEEK: Pitfall (1962) Bloodhaus:https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://twitter.com/BloodhausPodhttps://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/ Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/ Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://bsky.app/profile/joshuaconkel.bsky.socialhttps://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/  

After 10 years, the filmmaker and author Alex R. Johnson returns to the podcast. Alex R. Johnson is a writer and filmmaker who lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. His feature film "Two Step" premiered to critical acclaim at SXSW in 2014 and went on to become a New York Times Critic's Pick. His screenplay "Northeast Kingdom" was selected for the 2016 Black List, and his screenplay "Any Rough Times Are Now Behind You" was selected by the Austin Film Society's Artist Intensive lab where he was mentored by late director Jonathan Demme. He also wrote the screenplay adaptation of Ernest Tidyman's novel, "Big Bucks", for Pascal Pictures/Sony Entertainment. Johnson's family hails from the Andes of Ecuador, where their 100-year-old dairy farm still operates. Fans of Richard Price, Charlie Huston, and Jonathan Lethem will love this coming-of-age New York-centric detective noir debut from esteemed filmmaker and screenwriter Alex R. Johnson. New York City, 1998. New York is changing around Nico Kelly, and he can feel more coming. A private investigator and self-proclaimed photographer, Nico is stuck in a loop of city contracts and self loathing. What little middle class there was is disappearing—long-standing factories are moving out and taking their reliable neighborhood jobs with them, and Mayor Rudy Giuliani's police force has the streets in a stranglehold.  Nico spends his days looking for fraudsters while taking photos of municipal employees on disability claims. He spends his nights trying to get rid of the nagging feeling that his day job makes him a professional snitch—traversing dive bars, playing pinball, and fighting through the haze of hungover mornings and blurry evenings.Pushing thirty years old and feeling split between his American and Latin heritage, between youth and adulthood, Nico finds himself at a precipice—who is he and what should he become? When Nico witnesses and records a murder during one of his insurance fraud investigations, bodies start to turn up all around him and he's forced into solving a mystery he didn't ask to solve. Humorous, gritty, and real, Nico's search for what it means to be human takes him through the deepest and darkest parts of New York City.

Send us a textRISKYSometimes you gotta say, “What the Fuck” to research, make your move. This week Season 14's penultimate 1x1 is co-host Ryan's pick: RISKY BUSINESS (1983). His reason: TGTPTU normally pairs filmographies of a single director or actor, and the writer-director on this film was so triggered by the experience of having his written, shot, and edited original ending replaced in the final cut that he never directed another film again… or at least not until his second film in 1990 (WTF, Ryan?).  This film that would go on to become part of 1980s iconography by first-time director Paul Brickman, who had previously written the Michael Pressman-directed The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training (1977) and the Jonathan Demme-directed Handle with Care (1977) and would later be one of three credited writers on Clint Eastwood's True Crime (alternately known as Speed Zoo) (1999), Risky Business as dark teen comedy and potential Reagon-era satire stars a number of early roles by actors who'd become comedy stars of the 1980s, including as the protagonist Joel's fellow yuppie North Shore friends and entrepreneuring high school seniors in their first film appearances Curtis Armstrong (also known as Booger in the 1980s) and Bronson Pinchot (aka Balki in the 80s). It costars Rebecca De Mornay (later in the 90s known for her roles as a terrible nanny and as Milady de Winter) as the business-savvy prostitute, and has an early movie appearance by Joey Pants (known in the late-90s for taking the blue pill, Ralphie Cifaretto in the 00s, and a Bad Boy 4 life) as Guido the pimp.   Oh, and it's also the first time that actor born Thomas Mapother IV, better known later in life by his stage name Tom Cruise, stars in the leading role in a film (but not the first time he danced in his underwear or kissed a female person, if DVD commentary tracks are to be believed).  Behind the camera, you have two cinematographers: Eastwood's 70s and early-80s collaborator Bruce Surtees as well as regular Hollywood comedy lenser Reynaldo Villalobos. Pod-favorite Tangerine Dream scores. And the film scores big with first watches by host Tom and guest host Jack and with the Gen X'ers Ken and Ryan.   It's a wild ride, so mind your parking brake. In this episode Ryan explains the economic milieu behind the 80's yuppie culture to the two young hosts while drawing comparisons to American Psycho (2000); the two Zoomers discover how to shorten future episodes; and Broom Hilda's creator, whose life strangely overlaps with Ken's past and present, drops by studio.  Our podcast is The Good, The Pod, and The Ugly.

The movie “Stop Making Sense” has been hailed as one of the greatest concert films of all time. Directed by Jonathan Demme, the film unfolds as members of the Talking Heads take the stage one by one, culminating in an explosive dance party. One of the band’s core members, keyboardist and guitarist Jerry Harrison, is a Shorewood, Wisconsin native. WPR BETA host Doug Gordon talked with Harrison about the legacy of the Talking Heads and their iconic movie. Harrison will be back in his home state this weekend, hosting screenings of “Stop Making Sense” in Madison and Milwaukee.

In this episode we get to meet Tunde Adebimpe. Tunde is best known as one of the co-founders, singers, and songwriters of the influential indie rock band TV On the Radio. But now he has a debut solo LP called Thee Black Boltz, and this conversation, we talk a lot about how this record came to be, a process that included rescuing some archival recordings and crafting brand new work. We also touch on TV on the Radio's legacy and their "reunion" tour. Then we, of course, talk about Tunde's film work (as he is also an accomplished actor), including his recent role on Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, and his time making one of my all-time favorite films, Jonathan Demme's Rachel Getting Married. I was thrilled to chat with such a titan, and I think you'll enjoy. Thanks for listening.

Nella puntata di oggi analizziamo il capolavoro diretto da Jonathan Demme nel 1991, vincitore dei 5 principali premi Oscar (film, regia, sceneggiatura non originale, attori protagonisti) e capace di rivoluzionare per sempre la rappresentazione dello sguardo nel cinema.

This week on the pod, we're diving into the high-stakes paranoia of The Manchurian Candidate (2004), a political thriller reboot that trades Cold War chills for post-Gulf War conspiracy. Denzel Washington stars as Major Ben Marco, a decorated soldier haunted by dreams suggesting something sinister happened during his time in Kuwait. With the help of an eerie performance by Liev Schreiber and a chillingly manipulative Meryl Streep, the film leans hard into psychological suspense but does the tension still land in 2024? Tune in as we revisit this remake, break down its big themes, and ask the ultimate question: Is The Manchurian Candidate still worth voting for? Plot Summary:In the 2004 political thriller The Manchurian Candidate, directed by Jonathan Demme, Denzel Washington stars as Major Ben Marco, a Gulf War veteran plagued by disturbing dreams and lingering suspicions about his past. A remake of the 1962 classic, the film updates the Cold War paranoia to a post-9/11 world of corporate influence, political manipulation, and psychological warfare. Marco served alongside Sergeant Raymond Shaw (Liev Schreiber), who has since returned home a decorated war hero and rising political star. Shaw's mother, Senator Eleanor Prentiss Shaw (Meryl Streep), is a powerful and cunning politician pushing her son toward the vice presidency. But Marco begins to suspect that their wartime memories have been tampered with—and that Shaw may be the product of mind control by a shadowy multinational corporation known as Manchurian Global. As Marco digs deeper, he uncovers a chilling conspiracy involving psychological conditioning, implanted memories, and a plan to manipulate the highest levels of the U.S. government. His grip on reality begins to waver as he races to uncover the truth and stop a sinister plot that could alter the future of American democracy. Denzel Washington gives a powerful, haunted performance as a man unraveling a web of lies, while Meryl Streep delivers a chilling turn as an ambitious mother who will stop at nothing to seize power. The film blends intense suspense with thought-provoking commentary on political corruption, the military-industrial complex, and the dangers of unchecked influence. Join our podcast review as we revisit this modern thriller, exploring its performances, themes, and whether this cerebral update of a classic still resonates in today's political climate.

This week on Horror Joy, Jeff and Brian wrestle with the dualities of fear in Jonathan Demme's The Silence of the Lambs and Osgood Perkins' Longlegs. They dissect the psychological and gender horrors lurking within The Silence of the Lambs, contrasting it with the mythological and satanic elements of Longlegs.They examine the tangled webs of desire, identity, and rationalization, revealing:·       The transphobia in The Silence of the Lambs and how thoughts on gender have changed·       The rich material world of Jonathan Demme's film·       The failed mythology of Longlegs and The connection to the satanic panic in its Devil-Made-Me-Do-It tale·       Whether Longlegs lives up to the comparisons to The Silence of the Lambs (it does not)So, grab your badge and join us as we follow the cryptic trail of evasive mass murderers.

The story of two journalists reporting on a common cause despite their vastly different backgrounds is what gives NO OTHER LAND its narrative shape — and is what inspired us to pair it with 1984's THE KILLING FIELDS — but the Oscar-nominated documentary is at heart a story about activism, and the weight of maintaining hope amid a generations-spanning conflict with no resolution in sight. We're joined again this week by Slate culture writer Sam Adams to discuss how NO OTHER LAND makes the political personal, then bring THE KILLING FIELDS back in to compare these two portrayals of journalism from very different moments in journalism history, and the quandaries of privilege and guilt that accompany partnerships of unequals. Then in Your Next Picture Show we tout SWIMMING TO CAMBODIA and Jonathan Demme's ability to spin Spalding Gray's monologue about his bit role in THE KILLING FIELDS into a BTS feature like none other.

Jonathan Demme plejer at instruere film, hvor skuespillerne brillerer og vinder priser hvilket også var tilfældet i 1991 med Silence of the Lambs. Her giver Anthony Hopkins måske karrierens bedste præstation som den dødsensfarlige kannibalistiske seriemorder Hannibal Lector, der holdes fanget bag panserglas i en mørk kælder i et high security-fængsel i USA. Her møder han Starling, spillet af Jodie Foster, frisk fra politikakademiet. Og så begynder en af filmhistoriens bedste psykologiske thrillers. Filmen har høstet roser som en af de bedste indenfor den mørke psykologiske horrorgenre, og synes ikke rigtig overgået siden. I denne episode støver vi den gamle, og skræmmende, klassiker af og ser, om den stadig holder.

Welcome to another Cinema Sounds & Secrets Tribute episode! This week Janet, John, (and Pen) explore the life and career of a true humanist and good soul, a character-driven director with a brilliant eye, and gorgeously framed films… Jonathan Demme! The five-time Academy Award winner was born in New York in 1944 and is known for films like The Silence of the Lambs (1991), Something Wild (1986), Philadelphia (1993), Caged Heat (1974), Rachel Getting Married (2008), Melvin and Howard (1980), and Married to the Mob (1988).

With the passing of the "Pope of Pop Film" Roger Corman at 98 this year, a key era of American moviemaking left us. Producer/Director Roger Corman famously made hundreds of movies without "ever having lost a dime". He did this by shrewdly making very low budget genre pictures catered to what was hip at the time (monsters, drugs, motorcycles, sharks, aliens...) with super talented hungry young moviemakers. Jack Nicholson, Francis Ford Coppola, Peter Bogdonavich, Martin Scorsese, Joe Dante, Jonathan Demme, James Cameron just to name a few all come out of the unofficial "Roger Corman film school". And Corman himself directed or produced key indie genre movies including the Edgar Allen Poe series of the 1960's, Monte Hellman's COCKFIGHTER from the 1970's, etc. Secret Movie Club programmer Craig Hammill looks at some of the "rules" a moviemaker can still learn from the maverick master who made daring movies while also protecting the bottom line. 

Três founding fathers do Podcast Filmes Clássicos se juntam para conversar sobre um dos filmes americanos mais aclamados dos anos 90. Alexandre, Fred e Serio Gonçalves analisam o clássico de Jonathan Demme, "O Silêncio dos Inocentes" (The Silence of the Lambs, 1991), um dos únicos três filmes que até o momento conseguiram levar para casa as cinco principais estatuetas do Oscar: filme, direção, ator e atriz principal e roteiro. Um thriller psicológico que marcou época e venceu a barreira do tempo, o filme de Demme coloca uma personagem feminina no papel central (interpretada brilhantemente por Jodie Foster), inserida num mundo masculino e opressor, representado principalmente pela figura inesquecível de Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins num dos melhores papéis de sua carreira). ---------------------- Acesse nosso site: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.filmesclassicos.com.br⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Acesse nossa página no Facebook : ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/podcastfilmesclassicos/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

For the 100th and final (for now) episode of I Was There Too, Matt finally gets to sit down with his long-sought guest, actress Brooke Smith. She joins Matt to discuss her role as Catherine Martin aka the girl in the well in the 1991 horror film The Silence of the Lambs. Catherine chats about having to gain weight for the role, reading with three different actors all going out for the Jame “Buffalo Bill” Gumb role, and how director Jonathan Demme made her confront her demons. Plus, Matt bids farewell (for now) to all the wonderful listeners!This episode is brought to you by The Jim Jefferies Show Podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Zero and Wiz RECOMMEND The Manchurian Candidate This review will be kind of weird. And the reason why is because I watched the 2004 Jonathan Demme remake before I watched this version. So, I will likely compare the two in this review. The film centers its narrative around Raymond Shaw (Laurence Harvey), the stepson of a McCarthy-like U.S. Senator with an intensely controlling mother (Angela Lansbury). Shaw was part of a regiment in the Korean War that was captured by communists. In their capture, they are brainwashed into believing Shaw saved them from death in a heroic battle. However, the platoon commander Bennett Marco (Frank Sinatra) starts having increasingly distressing dreams that leads him into uncovering a rather disturbing plot. Whereas the remake focused on Marco as the main character, the original chooses to remain on Shaw who is a man who is being controlled in numerous directions. This makes the film feel more tragic than nefarious when it comes to the main plot line. Harvey plays the main character well: he feels like a character in constant conflict of his wants and needs, as well as someone being controlled and manipulated with forces he can't quite understand. This helps make Shaw feel much more likable and grounded, unlike Shaw in the remake who felt like a grown puppet who was a momma's boy. A lot of the elements involving Shaw are actually well done. The romance that happens, while brief, works well for the time it's on. But the best element of the film, along with the best performance, belongs to Angela Lansbury. Her performance as Shaw's manipulative, cold mother is easily the most dynamic and creepiest of the performances. But one big issue I have is that of the plot line involving Bennett Marco. Namely, Sinatra doesn't feel believable in a lot of the aspects of this film. Whether it's fighting or his emotional turmoil, Sinatra doesn't feel like he has the range to really show Marco's conflict trying to figure out what is going on. But what is the better movie: the original or the remake? The answer depends on what you want: if you want a character driven drama about the forces around him that manipulate and destroy him, then the original is what you want. But if you want a paranoid, stylish but fun mystery thriller, then the remake is likely what you want. Both films are enjoyable, but I will give the slight edge to the original.

Ah, the bizarre love/hate life of the New Order fan. What's your most loved and least favorite song on Low-Life?! For our fourth Request Episode Election, we went through dozens of listener suggestions to nominate Joe Jackson's Look Sharp, Jane's Addiction's Ritual de lo Habitual and this 1985 Manchester classic, which won in a landslide election. While half of us moaned about the album choice from our mystery nominators (MIA), we all had lots of great memories to share of adoring and rolling our eyes at NO. Superfan Sam hosted and held up lots of New Order vinyl, old tshirts were dusted off and Adam delivered an avalanche of guest rankers, starting with internationally-loved San Diego superstars Koi Division, who donned their iconic fish heads for a filmed interview. Days later, he visited Gold Diggers Sound in Los Angeles to chat with Dave Trumfio of the synth-lovin' Pulsars, whose lone 1997 debut/farewell album has finally recently been reissued. The two full interviews will be on our Youtube channel. Just you wait. In addition to getting tribute band opinions from San Francisco's Temptation and San Diego's Thieves Like Us (Substance responded too late to have their support for "Sunrise" be included), he got first hand accounts of 91X FM's infamous 1985 year-end countdown switcheroo from DJs Dwight Arnold, Pam Wolf and Billy Bones.

This episode we look at the only horror film to ever win the Oscar for best picture, The Silence of the Lambs, directed by Jonathan Demme and based on the novel by Thomas Harris. We discuss the captivating performances, detailed writing, and unique cinematography. We also talk about Hannibal Lecter's sense of hospitality and whether he would eat us or not!

THIS WEEK: Manhunter (1986), Hannibal (2001), Red Dragon (2002), Hannibal Rising (2007)After covering Jonathan Demme's Silence of The Lambs last week we decided to keep the ball rolling and cover the rest of the film adaptations of Thomas Harris' Hannibal Lecter novels. Not that any of us need an excuse to watch Manhunter for the 74726587432 time. Maybe we could have done without Bret Ratner, Hannibal's silly Italian hat, and the Samurai training montage though.

l⁠⁠inktr.ee/CatchingUpOnCinema⁠⁠⁠⁠ This month is Masterclass Month at Catching Up On Cinema! September 2024 marks our 6th anniversary of podcasting, and to commemorate the occasion, we take a month to do a deep dive on a popular, long-lived movie franchise. For this year's Masterclass, we'll be reviewing the Hannibal Lecter series of films! Created by author Thomas Harris, Hannibal Lecter is a charismatic serial killer that, across multiple novels, films, and most recently, TV series, has consistently captivated global audiences since his inception in 1981. This week, our Masterclass continues with a review of Jonathan Demme's, The Silence of the Lambs (1991)! An adaptation of the second of Thomas Harris' Hannibal Lecter series of novels, Jonathan Demme's, The Silence of the Lambs (1991) is a critically acclaimed horror-thriller, and widely regarded as the best of the Lecter films. Massively influential, financially successful, and winner of 5 major Academy Awards (including Best Picture, the first and only horror film to do so), The Silence of the Lambs is a fantastic production by every metric. Starring Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling, and Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter, the latter of whom would go on to thoroughly own the role via 2 additional onscreen performances in the years to come, the film is brilliantly performed by all involved, with special mention being necessary for Ted Levine, whose utterly fearless performance as Jame “Buffalo Bill” Gumb, is particularly memorable. Beautifully directed by Demme, and shot by renowned cinematographer and frequent collaborator, Tak Fujimoto, and scored by Howard Shore, the film ably wields the potent one-two punch of being terrifically scripted and acted, while also boasting sumptuous visuals and technical flair.

Melvin Dummar: Howard Hughes WillMelvin Earl Dummar (August 28, 1944 – December 9, 2018) was a Utah man who earned attention when he claimed to have saved reclusive business tycoon Howard Hughes in the Nevada desert in 1967, and to have been awarded part of Hughes' vast estate. Dummar's claims resulted in a series of court battles that all ended in rulings against Dummar.[3] A Las Vegas jury determined in 1978 that the will, leaving Dummar $156 million, was a forgery.[4] Dummar's story was later adapted into Jonathan Demme's film Melvin and Howard in 1980. A 2005 reinvestigation of the circumstances surrounding the so-called Dummar Will yielded new evidence not previously known.Dummar's purported meeting with HughesWhile working at a service station in Willard, Utah, Dummar claimed to have discovered a disheveled and lost man lying on the side of a stretch of U.S. Route 95 about 150 miles (240 km) north of Las Vegas, Nevada, near Lida Junction. The man asked Dummar to take him to the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas. Dummar claimed that only in the final minutes of their encounter did the man reveal his identity as Hughes.The "Mormon Will"After Hughes' death in April 1976, a handwritten will was discovered in the Salt Lake City, Utah headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Though purportedly written by Hughes in 1968, the will had many strange discrepancies. It named Noah Dietrich as an executor, despite the fact that Dietrich had left Hughes' employ on bad terms in the late 1950s. The will left approximately $156,000,000 to the LDS Church and although Hughes had employed many LDS workers, he had never been a member of that church. The will left money to his two ex-wives, Ella Rice and Jean Peters, even though both women had alimony settlements that barred claims on Hughes' estate. The will was rife with misspellings, including misspelling the name of Hughes' cousin. It called Hughes' famous flying boat, the Hughes H-4 Hercules, the "spruce goose" — a derisive nickname that Hughes had always despised.[5] Most oddly, the will left one "Melvin DuMar" of Gabbs, Nevada one-sixteenth of Hughes' estate.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Celebrate 50 episodes of scares, questionable taste, and Simpsons references with us as we put the lotion in the basket for a giant-sized analysis of one of the most titanic horror movies of the 1990's or maybe even of all time as we break down Jonathan Demme's iconic The Silence of the Lambs. We're all about Ted Levine's Buffalo Bill, Jodie Foster's Clarice Starling, and Sir Anthony Hopkins's Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter. We air out some grievances, talk Thomas Harris's Hannibal Lecter novels, and definitively determine which of us is the classiest brother.

Robyn Hitchcock has had quite the musical career. So much so that two movies have been made about him: The documentary Robyn Hitchcock: Sex, Food, Death...and Insects, and the Jonathan Demme-directed performance film, Storefront Hitchcock. However, when Robyn decided to write his own story, he centered it on a particularly meaningful point in his life: When he was 14 years old. The memoir is 1967: How I Got There And Why I Never Left. Robyn joins the podcast to tell us all about this magical year. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  It's been 34 years since the stunning, untimely death of Jim Henson at the age of just 53. But, in the years since, Henson's creations (aka The Muppets) have continued their reign on “Sesame Street”, at theme parks and in the movies. Jim Henson's coterie of lovable characters is as present as ever. Academy Award-winning director Ron Howard (“A Beautiful Mind”, “Frost/Nixon”) takes on the legacy of the brilliant puppeteer and filmmaker in his deeply researched, playful and heartfelt documentary, “Jim Henson Idea Man”.   Ron joins Ken on the pod to discuss how, years ago, a conversation with the late director Jonathan Demme spurred him on to start making documentaries, and why he finds it so challenging and rewarding. With his latest documentary, Ron has found a subject that both piques his curiosity and dovetails with some of the themes of his own life (early success on television followed by a successful career directing movies; the challenges of balancing one's passion for work with commitment to family; and the excitement of the next project that always beckons). The result is one of Ron Howard's most personal and fascinating documentaries to date.   “Jim Henson Idea Man” is nominated for eight Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series and Outstanding Directing for a Documentary/Nonfiction Program.   Follow: @RealRonHoward on Instagram and twitter/X @topdocspod on Instagram and twitter/X   Hidden Gem: “Agents of Chaos”   The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

Today's guest exemplifies perseverance; and not just with his music but with this podcast. There were a few technical issues which have, hopefully, been overcome with clever editing. Welcome the one and only Robyn Hitchcock. He's written a memoir about his life in 1967. In fact, it's called 1967, How I Got There And Why I Never Left. It's a very unique take on a memoir that works so well. But before we hit on the book, Robyn helps me set things up by going over his life BEFORE 1967. He also talks about things that happened AFTER 1967, like forming The Soft Boys and why they broke up and then reunited at one of Matthew Seligman's parties.  Robyn talks about his solo career, why he went solo in the first place, and why he considers himself the reverse of an innovator. We also discuss some of the unique aspects of his solo work; like teaming up with Grant Lee Phillips, doing a film project with the late, great Jonathan Demme, and after decades of being a singer/songwriter, releasing an album that is entirely instrumental. Once we do get into the book, itself, there are even more amazing stories, like discovering Bob Dylan, learning a bit about guitar, and attending The Happening with Brian Eno. Did you know Eno was the app, developed in 1967? That's a science fact.  Another science fact is how good his memoir is. So go grab it from Akashic Books, Little Brown Books, or wherever you buy books these days. Follow Robyn @robynhitchcockofficial on Instagram & @robynhitchcock on X.

Osgood Perkins' new LONGLEGS shares some clear narrative and thematic DNA with THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, but it's much more bizarre and divisive in its approach to horror-adjacent serial killer storytelling than Jonathan Demme's crowd-pleasing, Oscar-sweeping hit. We're joined again this week by critic and author Charles Bramesco to talk through the varying degrees to which we vibed with Perkins' style and Nicolas Cage's central performance, before bringing LONGLEGS' predecessor back into the conversation to compare the points of overlap and distinction between these two films about newbie female FBI agents, unconventional serial killers, and the traumatic backstories that drive them both. And in Your Next Picture Show we take stock of Oz Perkins' small but already idiosyncratic directorial filmography to date.  Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, LONGLEGS,  or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

There's no doubt that director Osgood Perkins had Jonathan Demme's THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS in mind when he made the new LONGLEGS, but there are as many fascinating contrasts as there are comparisons between these two films about inexperienced female FBI agents and seasoned serial killers. But before getting into those next episode, this week we're joined by critic and author Charles Bramesco for an in-depth revisitation of SILENCE OF THE LAMBS that digs into how the “Demme Touch” elevated a potentially lurid procedural to an Oscar-sweeping sensation, why its artful exploration of trauma inspired a legion of imitators, and how its sidestepping of trans identity plays in an era that's much more attuned to that conversation. And in Feedback, a listener deconstructs a couple of our recent pairings and reconstructs them as inversions of the same story.  Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, LONGLEGS,  or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Welcome! This week, we kick off a series of movies we've each wanted to cover, but never have. My pick is Stop Making Sense, Jonathan Demme's beautiful, epic documentary of Talking Heads. It's a visionary movie, and has influential countless others since its release. Obviously, I was very excited for this one, but what did everyone else think? Some of us had never seen it, and you won't want to miss their opinions.To pair with these movies, I'll pick some wines we've never tried, from places we haven't covered very much. This time, we'll try a Rosé from Portugal. It's a lovely, well-priced vino--tune in to hear all about it!#TalkingHeads #StopMakingSense #DavidByrne #Music #documentaries #80s

Pulitzer-winning playwright Annie Baker's filmmaking debut JANET PLANET is sort of a dual coming-of-age story, centering a young girl's fascination with her single mother who is still figuring out her own place in the world. But it also resists broad statements and neat conclusions, giving us space to unpack our own interpretations of the emotional depths that lie beneath the film's quiet exterior. Then we bring Lukas Moodysson's TOGETHER back into the discussion to compare its non-judgmental eye toward low-impact parenting, especially in the face of adult drama, and greater interest in the human drive for connection to those of JANET PLANET. And in Your Next Picture Show we share our runner-up contender for this week's pairing.  Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about TOGETHER, JANET PLANET,  or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Filmmaker Roger Corman, the "King of the B" movies, died last week at the age of 98. He made hundreds of films, such cult classics as Little Shop of Horrors, A Bucket of Blood, House of Usher, The Last Woman on Earth, and The Cry Baby Killer. We feature our 1990 interview with him, and with those whose careers he helped launch – including actors Peter Fonda and Bruce Dern, as well as directors James Cameron, Martin Scorsese, and Jonathan Demme.
