SERIES 3 EPISODE 41: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: “Make them riot,” a man described by Jack Smith as a Trump campaign employee, agent, and co-conspirator, his identity redacted, replaced by the ID number “P-5,” informs a colleague on the ground at the vote counting on Election Night 2020 in Detroit. “Do it!!!" Trump Campaign knowledge that they had lost the election on November 4, 2020. Certainty from his campaign team that without vote triumphs and court orders, it was over on November 7. Withdrawal of the campaign's litigation in Arizona on November 13. 165 pages of this in Jack Smith's filing revealed by Judge Tonya Chutkan yesterday, all of it supporting what I suggested last week would be his core point: that everything Trump did after mid-November at the latest was in his private capacity of candidate, politician, fraud, traitor - and none of it was him just being a good president working his ass off to investigate a dubious election.  In a just world it would put Trump in jail until he dies there. WE only have a chance at a just world if Trump loses November 5. SPEAKING OF WHICH: Did JD Vance reveal a side hustle in the VP debate? Is he potentially running a coup against Trump? Did he play nice so it'll be Vance who takes over the Trump cult if Trump is beaten, takes it over if Trump really meant what he said about not running again if he loses, takes it over by force even if Trump DIDN'T mean it. And if Trump wins, do you think Vance would hesitate to lead a palace revolt? To invoke the 25th Amendment the moment Trump starts speaking in tongues or falls over during a speech? THE POLLING IS BIZARRE: the debate was a tie but Tim Walz won all the internal numbers from who was more prepared to be president to who got the favorability bump. Vance got above water, but in one poll Walz is now +25 and in another +37. In short, he is now the most popular national politician in the country. B-Block (29:15) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: On the second day of the  Playoff Telecasts, Baseball is surprised in court: the company that carries eight of its teams' games suddenly cancels the telecasts. Fox's David Asman confuses author Mark Helprin for pantsless ex-pundit Mark Halperin. And Chris Cuomo is so desperate to stay on television that he sides with JD Vance's lies and against journalism at the VP debate. C-Block (43:10) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I swear somebody mentioned to me yesterday that she used to go skiing with his family. And I saw the woman involved in the story on TV over the weekend. On the SAME day, I knew the first guy - the head of CurrentTV - was going to end my TV news career, and that Uma Thurman and I would NOT be going out on a date!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SERIES 3 EPISODE 40: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:46) SPECIAL COMMENT: JD Vance blew an otherwise substantial debate with one remark that will echo through the history of presidential campaigns the way the spoofing of Gerald Ford in 1976 by Chevy Chase did ("It was my understanding there would be no math.") Fact-checked once and only once by moderators Norah O'Donnell and Margaret Brennan about the fact that the immigrants of Springfield, Ohio, are there legally, Vance seemingly summarized the entire premise of Trumpism - deceit and using it to hamstring a cowering media. He was terrified of fact-checking, enraged by fact-checking, and finally had his mike cut because he was angry and tried to dress down the moderators by saying: "The rules were you guys weren't gonna fact check." Vance did a surprisingly smooth if not always effective job of sane-washing Trump but he could have won a debate in which Tim Walz was so nervous at the beginning that I had a brief spell of 1st Debate PTSD. But Vance ultimately had only one product to sell - Trump - and only so much lipstick to put on it, or eyeliner to put on himself. As Walz regained himself, he was practical, eloquent, and managed to pull quotes out of the Bible and the Hardware Store ("my pro-tip for today is...") He warned Trump talking about crowd sizes was not what the country would need right now in the Middle East crisis (Vance barely answered; he chose instead to introduce himself; it was a tactical disaster). And he gave the top two answers of the night, insisting that Mike Pence's decision to be a "firewall" against Trump on January 6th was why Pence "isn't on this stage tonight" and then a moving, personal story about gun violence and its myriad causes that ended with "Sometimes, it's just the guns. It's just the guns." IS IT BAD THAT KELLYANNE CONWAY THINKS HER VP CANDIDATE IS NAMED “JD WALTZ?” Is she mistaking Vance for Walz? Vance for actor J.D. Walsh? The late actor J.T. Walsh? Maybe for The Last Waltz? MEANWHILE, TRUMP SEEMS TO ACCUSE KAMALA OF MURDER EXCEPT HE SCREWS UP THE PRONOUNS: He says she might as well have held a gun in a murder case. Except he says Harris let HER in and murdered HIM. He's also continuing to take credit for “being first” on the scene in the post-Helene chaos even though nobody wanted him there and all he did was start a GoFundMe, take credit for money that other people gave – and he didn't. AND IN NUZZI NUDES NEWS: NUZZI DOOZY – COURT GETS UP IN LIZZA'S BIZZA – OVER RFK RIZZ(a). CNN reports that the latest in the RFK Junior/Olivia Nuzzi story is: she has sued, and in the filing, says that the source of the leaks that got her suspended by New York Magazine for an undisclosed personal relationship with the perviest of the Kennedys was her former fiancee Ryan Lizza of Politico. When Olivia and I lived together and she still worked for The Daily Beast she frequently traveled to DCC on stories and whenever come back she'd give me a big hug and say she was sorry she took me for granted because there was the creepy guy who stalked her every time she went to Washington. ‘Do you know him,' she'd ask? ‘His name is Lizza.' Gotta run. Gotta check I have enough popcorn B-Block (25:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The WNBA players association and executive director Terry Carmichael Jackson has attacked one of the reporters who might be on the Mount Rushmore of Women's Sports in this country, Christine Brennan. And over nothing. They've slandered her and tried to get her fired. We need to boycott the WNBA until there is an apology and the executive director is fired. There's Elon Musk, who has decided that a barely intelligible video by somebody who's never heard of Roe-V-Wade “proves” Trump cares more about women. And then there's Rob Schneider, who decided to turn the heartbreaking loss of 58-year old hoops immortal Dikembe Mutumbo to brain cancer into an anti-vax point. Maybe he meant it like a joke, since none of his jokes have ever been funny. C-Block (36:15) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I spent years arguing against Pete Rose being admitted to baseball's Hall of Fame. Then I campaigned IN FAVOR of putting him in baseball's Hall of Fame. And then in 2017 the OTHER thing happened and that's when I started campaigning again for NEVER putting him in baseball's Hall of Fame. And all Monday night and all day yesterday, otherwise intelligent people explained that Pete Rose will go into the Hall of Fame because it was a lifetime ban and no – they put him on the “permanently ineligible list.” His life is over; his place on the list is not. And everybody has FORGOTTEN what the other thing was in 2017 - in the middle of his comeback, when he had gotten far along enough in his comeback that he was a regular on the Fox Baseball pre-game show I used to anchor – Pete Rose sued the investigator whose work led to his banishment from baseball in 1989 and in the discovery up popped a sworn deposition from a woman who, to quote The Hollywood Reporter, “alleges that Rose had a relationship with her for several years, beginning before she turned 16… Rose acknowledged in court documents that he had sex with the woman but thought she was 16 at the time.” When you admit to sex with a child and your defense was I thought she was 16, you're done. THAT'S why he's not in the Hall of Fame – and won't be.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Die Hard in the middle of nowhere!This week, Phil and Liam take a road trip…and have a serious BREAKDOWN! They are joined on their journey by Justin and Laura Khoo, the joint hosts of the excellent film/philosophy podcast COWS IN THE FIELD!While taking a cross-country road-trip to relocate, married couple Jeff and Amy Taylor (Kurt Russell and Kathleen Quinlan) experience car trouble, and end up stranded in the middle of the desert. In an effort to reach a payphone, Amy accepts a ride from a seemingly friendly trucker named Red (JT Walsh)...but when Jeff runs into the same trucker again later, he claims to have never have seen her. Jeff then begins to suspect that Amy has been kidnapped, and that he may be in the middle of a sinister criminal plot…Our quartet ‘break down' this bad boy, including its deceptive and surprising ‘Die Hard DNA', and the reasons why it's simple, ingenious premise is such a grabber. They discuss how this film intersects with the ‘yuppie in peril' genre, what it may be exploring about the socio-economics (and class tensions) of the era, and how it taps into our collective primal fears. Phil then requests that the road be cleared for a passionate diatribe on the life and work of the late, great JT Walsh, an iconic character actor with whom he feels a “cosmic connection”. The group's serpentine trip takes a number of stimulating scenic detours before they arrive at the Die Hard Oscars, and cap things off with the Double Jeopardy trivia quiz!BREAKDOWN trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm4YfqVbABkAt the time of release, BREAKDOWN is streaming on Paramount Plus, Fubu, Amazon Prime Video and MGM+ in the US and is available to rent or buy on YouTube, Apple/iTunes, Fandango, and all the usual platforms!  Watch Die Hard On A Blank on YouTube!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Blue Chips featured Nick Nolte, fantastic as a college hoops coach, and young Shaq & Penny Hardaway as recruits, but in 2024 is the booster Happy played by the late JT Walsh the real hero? Join us for Blue Chips, a college basketball movie from 1994 starring Nick Nolte, Shaq O'Neal, Penny Hardaway, Ed O'Neill, Alfre Woodard, Bob Cousy, Mary McDonnell, JT Walsh, Bob Cousy, Matt Nover, Marques Johnson, Robert Wuhl, Bobby, Knight, Rick Pitino, George Raveling, Larry Bird, Dick Vitale… You get the point. Maybe like me, this one grew on you when you realized the movie wasn't about the big game. In 1994, everyone was still taught to believe a player who wanted anything more than a scholarship was a greedy leech with no love for the game…and we just never really asked where all the money did go. This movie did help that conversation along, but it also had some fantastic performances - even by non-actors - some really funny scenes and, of course, probably the best movie basketball playing ever.

"A Few Good Men" is a gripping courtroom drama testament to the power of compelling storytelling, strong performances, and sharp dialogue. Directed by Rob Reiner and based on Aaron Sorkin's play, the film has become a classic in the genre. It delivers a powerful narrative that delves into themes of honour, duty, and the complexities of military life.OverviewThe film centres around the court-martial of two U.S. Marines, Lance Corporal Harold Dawson (Wolfgang Bodison) and Private First Class Louden Downey (James Marshall), who are accused of murdering fellow Marine William Santiago at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba. The case seems straightforward, but as the defence team, led by the inexperienced Navy lawyer Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise), digs deeper, it becomes clear that there is more to the story than meets the eye.Kaffee, known for his penchant for plea bargains and lack of trial experience, is initially reluctant to take the case seriously. However, with the support of Lieutenant Commander JoAnne Galloway (Demi Moore), an idealistic and determined lawyer, and Lieutenant Sam Weinberg (Kevin Pollak), Kaffee begins to uncover a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of the Marine Corps. Their investigation leads them to the formidable Colonel Nathan R. Jessup (Jack Nicholson), whose belief in the importance of a strong military defence directly conflicts with the principles of justice and accountability.PerformancesThe cast of "A Few Good Men" is stellar, with each actor bringing depth and nuance to their roles. Tom Cruise delivers one of his finest performances as Lieutenant Kaffee, transitioning from a cocky, indifferent lawyer to a passionate advocate for justice. Cruise's portrayal captures the character's growth and determination, making his journey believable and compelling.Demi Moore shines as Lieutenant Commander Galloway, a character-driven by a strong moral compass and unwavering dedication to her clients. Moore's performance adds a layer of intensity and integrity to the film, highlighting the challenges faced by women in the military.However, Jack Nicholson's portrayal of Colonel Jessup steals the show. Nicholson's commanding presence and delivery of the film's most famous line, "You can't handle the truth!" have become iconic. His performance perfectly captures the arrogance and conviction of a man who believes that his actions, no matter how morally questionable, are justified in the name of national security.Cinematography and DirectionRob Reiner's direction is precise and effective, allowing the tension to build steadily throughout the film. The courtroom scenes, in particular, are masterfully shot, with Reiner using close-ups and dynamic camera angles to emphasise the intensity of the legal battle. The film's pacing is impeccable, ensuring that the audience remains engaged from start to finish.Robert Richardson's cinematography complements Reiner's direction. Its focus on stark lighting and tight framing adds to the film's dramatic atmosphere. The use of shadows and light enhances the visual appeal and symbolises the moral ambiguities and hidden truths at the story's heart.Screenplay and DialogueAaron Sorkin's screenplay is the backbone of "A Few Good Men," showcasing his talent for crafting sharp, intelligent dialogue. The film is filled with memorable lines and exchanges that drive the plot forward and provide insight into the characters' motivations and beliefs. Sorkin's writing is thought-provoking and entertaining, perfectly balancing drama and wit.The courtroom confrontations are particularly well-written, with the back-and-forth between Kaffee and Jessup as the film's climax. These scenes are a masterclass in tension and conflict, with each line of dialogue carefully constructed to build toward the explosive conclusion.Themes and Cultural SignificanceAt its core, "A Few Good Men" is a film about the clash between duty and morality and the often blurred line between right and wrong. The story raises important questions about the nature of authority, the ethics of military command, and the cost of protecting a nation. It challenges the audience to consider the balance between security and accountability and the importance of standing up for truth and justice, even in the face of overwhelming opposition.The film's exploration of these themes remains relevant today, as issues of military conduct and governmental transparency continue to be hotly debated. A Few Good Men serves as a reminder of the importance of integrity and courage, both in the legal system and in everyday life.Character DevelopmentOne of the strengths of "A Few Good Men" is its well-developed characters, each of whom can evolve throughout the film. Kaffee's transformation from a complacent lawyer to a passionate defender of justice is central to the narrative, and Cruise's performance effectively captures this growth.Galloway's character provides a strong counterpoint to Kaffee, embodying the ideals of dedication and perseverance. Her unwavering commitment to uncovering the truth catalyses Kaffee's own journey, and Moore's portrayal brings depth and complexity to the role.Colonel Jessup, while ostensibly the antagonist, is portrayed with enough nuance to make him a compelling and, at times, sympathetic character. Nicholson's performance ensures that Jessup is not merely a villain but a man whose rigid beliefs and sense of duty have led him down a morally questionable path.Historical Context and ImpactReleased in 1992, "A Few Good Men" came at a time when the United States grappled with military ethics and accountability issues, particularly in the wake of the Iran-Contra affair and the Gulf War. The film's focus on a military trial resonated with audiences and critics alike, sparking discussions about the responsibilities of those in power and the consequences of unchecked authority.The film's critical and commercial success helped to cement its status as a classic, earning multiple Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor for Jack Nicholson, and Best Screenplay for Aaron Sorkin. Its enduring popularity is a testament to its powerful storytelling and the relevance of its themes."A Few Good Men" is a masterful legal drama that combines outstanding performances, sharp writing, and expert direction to create a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant film. Its exploration of duty, morality, and justice remains as powerful today as it was upon its release, making it a timeless classic that continues to captivate audiences.For the Born to Watch podcast, "A Few Good Men" represents a significant entry in the legal drama genre and a film that challenges viewers to consider the complexities of honour and duty in a world where the lines between right and wrong are often blurred. Whether you're revisiting it for the umpteenth time or watching it for the first, "A Few Good Men" is a cinematic experience that promises to leave a lasting impact.

It's Die Hard on a plane! Again! But a bigger plane than Passenger 57!This week on the show, Phil and Liam discuss Stuart Baird's popular 1996 action-thriller EXECUTIVE DECISION starring Kurt Russell and Steven Seagal* (*kinda). Is this one of the best ‘Die Hard on a blank' films of the era? The guys aim to find out! When fanatical terrorists take control of a 747 passenger plane heading from Athens, Greece to Washington D.C., Army intelligence consultant Dr. David Grant (Kurt Russell) informs the pentagon of his suspicion that the terrorists are planning to use a stolen nerve-agent known as DZ-5 to launch a massive attack on the Eastern seaboard. If Grant is correct, this means that the government may have to shoot the plane down before it reaches US airspace, so in a last-ditch attempt to avoid this scenario and save the lives of the 400 passengers on board, Grant reluctantly becomes part of a daring mission led by Special Forces Lt. Col Austin Travis (Steven Seagal), whereby a small strike team will use an experimental aircraft to board the 747 in mid-air, and attempt to take back control of the hijacked plane. This film is positively overflowing with ‘DIE HARD DNA', from the premise to the personnel, which includes the likes of producer Joel Silver, editor Frank J. Urioste, and actress Mary Ellen Trainor, amongst others. The guys discuss how this movie raises the stakes of the ‘Die Hard on a Plane' paradigm through the utilization of a unique selling point: the treacherous mid-air transfer of a counter-assault team that includes the likes of John Leguizamo, Joe Morton, BD Wong, Whip Hubley and Oliver Platt. Despite the film's slam-bang entertainment value and multi-cultural American cast, the guys still have to wrestle with its uncomfortable racial politics, in particular its portrayal of the fictional Middle-Eastern terrorist group who are led by legendary British thespian Sir David Suchet as ‘Nagi Hassan'. They also discuss the low-key brilliance of Halle Berry's performance as the courageous flight attendant Jean, Kurt Russell's ingenious chat-up lines, and the wider symbolic significance of a key character's death… The film's excellent ensemble cast makes for a highly competitive edition of the ‘Die Hard Oscars', followed by a fun ‘Double Jeopardy' trivia quiz that will be of particular interest to fans of the late, great, perennially missed JT Walsh! Fasten your seatbelts folks! EXECUTIVE DECISION trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_W4wp9_HYm4 At the time of release, EXECUTIVE DECISION is streaming on Tubi and is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple/iTunes, YouTube, Fandango and all the usual platforms. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/die-hard-on-a-blank/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Writer and podcaster Jake Tropila returns for a dive into the dusty, hard-nosed pleasures of John Dahl's 1993 neo-noir western 'Red Rock West'. The film has been newly restored and released on blu-ray in a great edition courtesy of Cinématographe, a new sub-label from the folks behind Vinegar Syndrome. We start with a discussion of the career of John Dahl, an underrated director with a sharp style that made him a prime helmer of small, smart thrillers of the era alongside his skilled conteporaries like Bill Duke and Carl Franklin. Then we turn to Red Rock West, its influences, and where it exists downstream from the success of the Coen Brothers' 'Blood Simple', a film that bolstered a neo-noir resurgence in the late 80s and early 90s. Finally, we discuss the relative absence of the neo-noir in the modern cinematic landscape, the migration of these sorts of stories into longform, episodic television, and some hopes for the genre's future, courtesy of some recent releases like the latest Rose Glass film 'Love Lies Bleeding', a film that had yet to be released when this episode was recorded.

 Y'all. It's been a month. It's just been so much January.  So very January. We didn't actually... uh, read two books this month, so in the finest American scholarly tradition we watched a movie instead! Thrill to the very Canadian film adaptation of LaVyrle Spencer's Morning Glory (you may want to listen to our episode on the book first, but you totally don't have to because obviously we didn't prepare so why should you?) It's got Christopher Reeve and this Deborah Raffin lady we really liked and JT Walsh's butt, and it made $26,000 at the box office.  No, not $260,000.  Anyway it's surprisingly good and you can watch it for free on Tubi if you don't mind commercials!  Or you can rent it on Prime for $2.99, which is a measurable percentage of this film's overall earnings. Do be aware, this movie (like the book) has some pretty hardcore slut shaming in it, and unlike the book has a seriously disturbing courtroom scene where the defendant's wife's marital sexual history is put on trial.  It's legit upsetting.  Otherwise, it's a sweet slow burn and we liked it a lot.

In this episode we talk about the hidden gem Breakdown starring Kurt Russell. In it, his wife (Kathleen Quinlan) is kidnapped by a group of rednecks. We talk about the plot, the characters, the cast. We especially acknowledge the greatness of the late JT Walsh. He's fabulous in this one. Listen and enjoy. No spoilers. Thanks for listening!

The season of giving begins as The Johns take on a listener request and watch 1997's Breakdown.  Will this Kurt Russell, JT Walsh thriller about kidnapping, gaslighting and murder cruise at a smooth 90 mph, or will the engine stall out on the side of the road?  Listen and find out!

CAGE UNCAGED: FILM FLAM FATALE**BONUS EPISODE**Another bonus episode covering a corner of Cage's career that has been under-represented thus far in Cage Uncaged!This week we tackle the fertile cinematic era between Moonstruck (1987) and Leaving Las Vegas (1995), when Cage would appear as often in quirky indies as studio fare before he became a superstar Oscar Winner. This week we look into a few so-called neo noirs, a popular trend at the time before Tarrantino came along and made every crime story ironic and referential. The trend may have begun nine years earlier with the film debut of the Coen Bros., BLOOD SIMPLE (which we will cover as a double bill with Raising Arizona next episode!). RED ROCK WEST (1993) is directed by John Dahl from a script by Dahl and his brother (or a guy with the same last name). Cage plays an everyman drifter with a bum knee who is mistaken for a hired killer in a speed bump of a town in rural Wyoming. Twists and turns ensue with Dennis Hopper showing up with a knife and fork ready to cut up and chew scenery. Lara Flynn Boyle, JT Walsh and Dwight Yoakam round out a small, but crack, cast that ooze a definitive sense of early 90s style. Two years later in Barbet Schroeder's remake of KISS OF DEATH (1995), Cage plays the villain to David Caruso's career as Caruso haplessly attempted to be a legitimate A-list leading man. With a screenplay by pod fave Richard Price and a supporting cast that includes Helen Hunt, Samuel L Jackson, Michael Rappaport, Stanley Tucci, Kevin Corrigan, Hope Davis, Phillip Baker-Hall, and all-time fave Cage costar Ving Rhames, this movie had the look of a brilliantly cast, high end studio classic. But... it has since disappeared so deep into the memory hole that certain members of the pod *may* have had to resort to pirating it to even be able to watch it in 2021. Pirating hurts artists, don't forget. Was it the movie itself or did 1995 audiences get it wrong? How can we blame Tarrantino? Find out! We actually disagree a LOT on this movie.REMAINING CAGE FILMS: PIG, RAISING ARIZONA, WILLY'S WONDERLAND, MANDY. DEEP BACKGROUND FILMS: BLOOD SIMPLE, UNDER THE BLACK RAINBOW. THEME SONG: HOWLING FANTODS. 

Have you seen Kurt Russell's wife?! He's looking for her in the 1997 Jonathan Mostow thriller Breakdown, the newest film during Forgotten Summer! Mike Butler and Mike Field "Ehem" breakdown this film, discussing their FOURTH film starring JT Walsh! They must really like the guy. The Mikes also talk about the way the film is shot and written. They go over the fact that the film is a purely external conflict that presents a situation and a protagonist who acts in a way that the viewer probably wishes they would if forced into the same position. Of course, who better to play the "everyman" protagonist than Kurt Russell? The Mikes talk about how the underrated star is one of the few big name actors who can realistically play the everyman, however his casting may have been to the detriment of the film's success compared to some of the others who were potentially up for the lead role. Who, you might ask? Well, you'll just have to listen to find out! So grab your car keys and map, please notice the rest stops to the left and right of you, and settle down for https://my.captivate.fm/Forgottencinemapodcast.com (Forgotten Summer). 

Hop on in, this week we're hitchin' a ride with BREAKDOWN! Starring Kurt Russell and Kathleen Quinlan, it's a movie about a married couple who experience car trouble in the middle of the desert and get terrorized by JT Walsh and his gang of murderous yahoos. Should have had AAA. Also featuring MC Gainey and Jack Noseworthy, this movie made us anxious whenever our car started making a funny noise, but how does it hold up now?Listen here to find out!

Screenwriter Daniel Cameron joins the show to discuss this neo-Western/neo-noir, starring Nicolas Cage, Dennis Hopper, Lara Flynn Boyle and JT Walsh. Directed by one of my favorite filmmakers, John Dahl (ROUNDERS), this film was basically dumped by its distributor, but refused to die, and has gone on to have a cult following, for one reason - it's good. Incredibly well-structured, twisty, and engaging. Try to watch the first 25 minutes of this movie and stop watching.   --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dan-benamor/support

Se abre la sesión en la que repasamos algunos títulos importantes en ese género tan reputado como es el cine judicial. En este episodio: INTRO: Toni sigue con su cruzada personal (y busca un lado positivo), proponemos un menú del día ecléctico y hacemos nuestro primer índice en audio, que si estáis leyendo esto es redundante, porque, como veréis, viene... 0:11:48 - 12 ANGRY MEN (12 HOMBRES SIN PIEDAD): Cuestionamos la selección de jurado, lo refrescante de las películas que no dependen de su final y ¡os proponemos una quedada! 0:55:20 - WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION (TESTIGO DE CARGO): Una obra con un decorado de diez (y como la película la mejora), el enfrentamiento de distintas escuelas de interpretación, el principio de los "Spoiler Alerts" y el peso de una estrella. (FE DE ERRATAS I: Toni confunde Gloria Grahame y Gloria Swanson. Y justo al decir el nombre, estaba pensando "no confundas Grahame y Swanson...". Manda narices...) 1:33:56 - ANATOMY OF A MURDER (ANATOMÍA DE UN ASESINATO): Óscar nos da la clase "Saul Bass para Principiantes", directores vs. publicidad y lo delicado que es tratar a cualquier nivel el tema del abuso sexual en el arte. (FE DE ERRATAS II: el caso del PAN&SCAN al que Óscar se refiere fue con Sidney Pollack denunciando a la tv danesa por su "mutilación" de Los tres dias del condor, que uno no es la enciclopedia británica). 2:43:26- INHERIT THE WIND (LA HERENCIA DEL VIENTO): Una película que literalmente creó escuela, unas reflexiones sobre el fanatismo (no fílmico, para variar) y obra maestra vs. obra importante. 3:17:16- MY COUSIN VINNY (MI PRIMO VINNY): Óscar cae en un dato absolutamente increible (y uno más creible), un vínculo directo con el último episodio y el pasado de feligres de Toni. 3:51:55- A FEW GOOD MEN (ALGUNOS HOMBRES BUENOS): El juego más cinéfilo, la zona de confort de Tom Cruise (cuando no está corriendo) y el secundario de lujo entre secundarios de lujo: JT Walsh. 4:21:54- A TIME TO KILL (TIEMPO DE MATAR): Una manipulación necesaria (y el debate al respecto), cuando a Hollywood se le antoja lanzar estrellas y los límites de la justicia. Y, como novedad (y no os acostumbréis), cerramos con un resumen musical con producción y mezcla de Miguel Ángel Aijón. ¡Se levanta la sesión! --

The Mikes head down south in search of money, greed, and good old fashioned crisscrosses in the 1993 Nicholas Cage starring western-noir, Red Rock West. Mike Field discusses a film that was fairly important to his love of film; specifically indie film. The Mikes also dissect the films characters and themes, gush over late character-actor, JT Walsh, and lighting in relation to cinematography. So grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits at the front and rear of the auditorium, and settle down for Forgotten Cinema. 

We're back to talk about Billy Bob Thornton's *Sling Blade*, starring Thornton, Dwight Yoakam, John Ritter, and JT Walsh.

Heute besprechen Jens und Julian zusammen mit ihren beiden Gaesten Michael und Marco den 90er Jahre Film Eine Frage der Ehre. Hier spielt Tom Cruise einen Anwalt, der sich mit einem hoch angesehenen und harten Colonel auseinandersetzen muss, um seine beiden Mandanten vor dem Gefaengnis zu bewahren. Doch es wird noch schwieriger fuer ihn, denn seine Mitstreiterin, Lieutenant Commander Joanne Galloway (Demi Moore) haelt ihn fuer einen besserwissenden Aufschneider und seine beiden Mandanten vertrauen ihm nicht. Wir haben den Film mal Stueck fuer Stueck auseinandergenommen und analysiert.

With a car running on fumes and a wallet down to it's last five dollars, The Johns pull into the town of Red Rock. They're a thousand miles from nowhere, and one thing is certain: nothing is what it seems. They came here to do a podcast, but they'll leave neck deep in conspiracy, character actors and 90s cinema. Join The Johns as they dive into the Nicolas Cage, Dennis Hopper, Laura Flynn Boyle, JT Walsh and John Dahl directed thriller you've either never heard of or perhaps saw that one time: Red Rock West.

CHAPTER 2 – After the riotous cult following that developed over THIS IS SPINAL TAP, Christopher Guest takes a 5 year sabbatical from the big screen. He does a year on Saturday Night Live, he appears in bit parts in films like THE PRINCESS BRIDE and LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS… and presumably, is pitching a number of projects in Hollywood that don’t gather much steam. It may be only fitting that that frustration mounts into THE BIG PICTURE, the pretty standard (and long forgotten to most) debut film of Guest behind the camera. Starring Kevin Bacon, JT Walsh, Michael McKean and a supporting cameo from Martin Short – this is a far cry from the improvised brilliance of SPINAL TAP. But with inspired sketch like cutaways and even an original song by Guest and McKean, can it really be all bad?

You want podcasters? On this special episode, five podcasters discuss Rob Reiner's 1992 film A Few Good Men.  Written by Aaron Sorkin (and tweaked for the screen by William Goldman), the film stars Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, Jack Nicholson, and a slew of other familiar faces in this tense courtroom drama about masculinity, patriotism, honor, and duty. The episode is hosted by Jay and TJ of the We've Seen That podcast along with Joanna Langfield from The Movie Minute and occasional Projection Booth co-host Jon Cross from the After Movie Diner.

Smile at the mere mention of Dennis Hopper. Director John Dahl (The Last Seduction, Joy Ride, Rounders) stops by to talk about his second feature film, "Red Rock West" (1993). Noted Bay Area theatre critic and pop culture guru Sam Hurwitt (@shurwitt) swings by for a round of "What Do Ya Know?" Mr. @aj_macready shares his top picks within the filmography of John Dahl; @Dr_David_Banner recommends some films for folks that are fans of "Red Rock West" (1993).
