We discuss Kathryn Bigelow's Strange Days (1995) to explore its chillingly relevant themes of police brutality, surveillance, and AI-created fake memories. Drawing parallels to our real world — from the L.A. riots to Midjourney — we ask why this dystopian sci‑fi noir feels more relevant and unsettling than ever and how its ideas connect to today's anxieties about over-policing, propaganda, and the way AI technology may soon reshape both our private memories and public histories.
“This is your life. Right here. Right now.” Before it became one of the most underrated sci-fi films of the 1990s, STRANGE DAYS was just a few scribbles in a notebook. In Part 1 of our deep dive, we trace the film's journey from James Cameron's original 1985 concept through its years in development and the real-world chaos that helped inspire Kathryn Bigelow's vision of a crumbling millennium. We explore how Cameron and Bigelow collaborated with screenwriter Jay Cocks to shape the film's story, how Ralph Fiennes and Angela Bassett were cast, and how Bigelow brought the gritty streets of Los Angeles to life—shooting almost entirely on location and inventing new camera rigs to create groundbreaking first-person POV sequences. We'll take you all the way through the final days of production, including the now-legendary New Year's Eve shoot involving 10,000 extras, 50 cops, and at least a few rave casualties. This is Strange Days, Part 1: the story of how a bold, unclassifiable, and wildly ahead-of-its-time film came to be.
Author and critic John Bleasdale joins Christina to discuss his excellent new book, Darkness Visible: The Cinema of Jonathan Glazer—a deep dive into the work of the visionary director behind Sexy Beast, Birth, Under the Skin, and The Zone of Interest.They also break down the exciting 2025 Venice Film Festival line-up, featuring Luca Guadagnino's After the Hunt starring Julia Roberts, Kathryn Bigelow's latest, Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, and much more.

Plongée dans les coulisses de Blue Steel Dans cet épisode, nous vous emmenons dans les coulisses du thriller électrisant Blue Steel, réalisé par Kathryn Bigelow en 1990. Porté par une Jamie Lee Curtis à contre-emploi, le film explore les tensions entre justice, violence et pouvoir au féminin, dans une Amérique où la figure du flic est à la fois mythifiée et mise en doute.- Comment Bigelow, l'une des rares réalisatrices à Hollywood à l'époque, a-t-elle imposé sa vision dans un univers aussi codifié que celui du polar ?- Quels choix artistiques et techniques ont façonné cette œuvre à la croisée du cinéma de genre et du commentaire social ?- Comment Jamie Lee Curtis s'est-elle préparée pour ce rôle intense et physique ?Des anecdotes de tournage aux partis pris esthétiques, on vous raconte tout : la genèse du scénario, les inspirations de Bigelow, le travail avec les acteurs et les défis de la production. Un regard affûté sur un film parfois sous-estimé, mais essentiel dans la filmographie de sa réalisatrice.
This week on Drive-In Double Feature, Nathan and Ryan lock and load for Kathryn Bigelow's Blue Steel (1990), a slick, gritty psychological thriller that's equal parts neo-noir and cop drama. Jamie Lee Curtis stars as a rookie NYPD officer who faces off against a Wall Street sociopath obsessed with her—and her service weapon. The hosts dive into Bigelow's stylish direction, the film's gender politics, and how Blue Steel stands out in a sea of '90s thrillers with its unnerving atmosphere and explosive performances. Prepare for some serious firepower.
On episode 299 of the AwardsWatch Podcast, it's an all editors show as Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade and Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello look at the wealth of fall festival lineup announcements that came in this week from Venice and Toronto. In the pod, the trio start with Venice, which will be the kickoff of no less than three Netflix titles: Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, Noah Baumbach's Jay Kelly and the return of Kathryn Bigelow with A House of Dynamite. With a few other Netflix titles rolling around, we talk about the impact of these three titles starting off here and where else we'll see them this season. Yorgos Lanthimos' newest collab with Emma Stone, Bugonia, will also bow at Venice, leaving Focus Features' other top title Hamnet, rip for Telluride. Mona Fastvold, fresh off The Brutalist last year (with her partner Brady Corbet), has The Testament of Ann Lee with Amanda Seyfried, something has all of us buzzing. Then there's The Smashing Machine from Benny Safdie and starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt. We also dig into the Out of Competition titles, specifically Luca Guadagnino's After the Hunt, which has some internet folks thinking it means something more than it does. Onto TIFF, always the most helpful as specific designations are listed for each film, we talk about Rental Family starring Brendan Fraser, Sydney Sweeney in Christy and where the big Cannes winners from NEON and MUBI, like Sentimental Value, It Was Just an Accident, The Secret Agent, Sirāt and Sound of Falling landed. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music, YouTube and more. This podcast runs 1h14m. We'll be back next week with an Oscar retrospective of the 63rd Academy Awards, covering the films of 1990. Till then, let's get into it.

Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty, Point Break) joined forces with writer James Cameron (Titanic, Terminator 2, Avatar) to craft a dark vision of the future....this was released in '95 and the story takes place four years in the future on the eve of New Year's Eve '99. This particular story takes place in a beleaguered Los Angeles beset with violence where the latest vice of choice are "squids" which are virtual reality discs that can deliver any number of visceral experiences for those who get "jacked" into experiencing them. Lennny (Ralph Fiennes) is a purveyor of such squids as he sells them around the LA underworld....until one night, he is provided a mysterious one which portrays something horrible occuring to some one he knows. Is it real? Why did he receive it? And where does it lead? And this kicks off a tense mystery thriller not only involving Lenny but his best friend Mace (Angela Bassett) and his former love Faith (Juliette Lewis) among several others....the stacked cast also includes Michael Wincott, Glenn Plummer, Vincent D'Onofrio, William Fichtner, and the late, great Tom Sizemore.

Join Jonny and Darin for a zen-filled discussion of all the wave-riding, high-flying, bank-robbing thrills that shape this bona fide cult classic.

It's finally here, after Lee and Adam arguing many times about it, we are looking at Kathryn Bigelow's 1991 action movie "Point Break". Let's all live to get radical.
Zo is at the end of the twentieth century in Las Angeles as it promises to be the grandest place to celebrate the coming of the year 2000. It is a time to be careful as the people are on the edge of rioting and there is a constant police presence. Whole squads of police in riot gear and police helicopters are everywhere. Among all of this carefully controlled chaos is a guy that tried to sell Zo on the idea of using this high tech device to jack someone's real life memories straight into Zo's brain. The salesman, a man named Lenny, drives a hard sell, and his offer is tempting, but Zo is weary and the whole thing feels like a drug deal. Lenny moves on and Zo considers . . . Jacking someone's thoughts straight into his brain? These are Strange Days indeed.

Strange Days, Kathryn Bigelow y su cyberpunk: 30 años Todo ocurre en el salto del siglo XX al XXI. Una droga cibernética inunda las calles de Los Angeles y un activista afroamericano acaba de ser asesinado provocando levantamientos en toda la ciudad. Un poco íntegro ex policía se ve atrapado en este enredo. Kathryn Bigelow, cuya película anterior había sido Punto de quiebra -otro clásico- levanta desde aquí un thriller futurista y emocionante pero que, desde el 2025, a 30 años de su estreno, nos sabe tremenda y preocupantemente actual. Strange Days (con Ralph Fiennes, Angela Basset y Juliette Lewis) está basada en las revueltas angelinas de 1992 y es uno de los cyberpunk que mayor culto ha desarrollado con los años. Pero es también una película que parece vaticinar mucho de lo que ocurre hoy en Estados Unidos, ya sea que hablemos de política, de economía o de problemas sociales. Mientras eso se confirma, en este episodio del podcast Cinegarage tenemos muchas y variadas razones para que se decidan a ver Strange Days, un clásico incomprendido, un presente alterno: una película sci fi dura y emocionante, con uno de los mejores soundtracks de la época. Strange Days cumple 30 años. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Point Break, Extrême Limite, de Kathryn Bigelow, sort en 1991. Cʹest un film dʹaction, avec des surfeurs, des braquages, des vagues, des sauts en chute libre, une relation gourou disciple qui tourne court. Mais ce nʹest pas que ça. Certes lʹaction y est soutenue. Certes, cʹest du polar somme toute assez classique. Mais ce qui fait que le film passe les époques et les modes, cʹest quʹil propose lʹhistoire éternelle dʹun dépassement de soi, lʹhistoire dʹun jeune homme qui découvre le monde, se fait chahuter, inverse ses croyances et grandit. Kathryn Bigelow pose un regard social sur ses personnages, et enchaîne les actions, au plus près, ne lâche pas sa caméra, plonge dans les vagues, filme au corps à corps ses acteurs, Patrick Swayze et Keanu Reeves. Le film plaît. Beaucoup. Même si la thématique est une resucée des films dʹaction traditionnels. Ce qui change, cʹest la poigne avec laquelle la réalisatrice joue des codes machistes, sʹimmisce dans lʹintimité des surfeurs. Aujourdʹhui dans Travelling, vous allez rêver dʹabsolu et de la vague parfaite. Nous allons vous parler de Patrick Swayze, lʹhomme le plus sexy du monde à ce moment-là, ce sont les magazines américains qui le disent, de Keanu Reeves au début de sa carrière, et surtout de la réalisatrice Kathryn Bigelow, première femme réalisatrice oscarisée de lʹhistoire du cinéma. Nous ne pouvions pas passer à côté. Pour vous raconter tout ça, comme dʹhabitude, nous avons des archives, des anecdotes, des interviews, des extraits et la musique du film. Ne tardons pas, lʹhistoire de Bodhi et de Johnny Utah commence sur une plage Californienne, surf à la main, cheveux au vent. Il y aura comme un air de vacances je pense.

Ben and Rob conclude the Swayze Trilogy with ‘Point Break', Kathryn Bigelow's perfect blockbuster from the golden days of 1991. Starring Patrick Swayze, Keanu Reeves and Gary Busey, ‘Point Break' tells the tale of Johnny Utah and Bohdi as their dangerous cat and mouse relationship as cop and robber takes a radical turn. But why is Bohdi's past never discussed? How is he so physically capable and intellectually pretentious? Perhaps because he's lived a full life as first a dancer, and then a bouncer? Could it be that Bohdi is James Dalton who is in fact Johnny Castle!?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much MUCH more!PLUS!

UNSTOPPABLE director Billy Goldenberg and editor Brett Reed have had a working relationship for over twenty years, going back to their time together on COYOTE UGLY (2000). Since that film, they've logged a lot of hours as "editor and assistant" or "editor and additional editor", but their new film brings about a whole new dynamic, "director and editor". UNSTOPPABLE is the inspiring true story of Anthony Robles (Jharrel Jerome) who was born with one leg but whose indomitable spirit and unbreakable resolve empowered him to defy the odds and pursue his dreams. With the unwavering love and support of his devoted mother Judy (Jennifer Lopez) and the encouragement of his coaches, Anthony fights through adversity to earn a spot on the Arizona State Wrestling team. But it will demand everything he has, physically and mentally, to achieve his ultimate quest to become an NCAA Champion. WILLIAM GOLDENBERG, ACE While UNSTOPPABLE is Billy's first shot at directing, he is one of the most well-respected and sought-after film editors working today. He won an Academy Award, BAFTA Award, and the American Cinema Editors' (ACE) Eddie Award for his outstanding work on the 2013 Best Picture winner, Argo, directed by Ben Affleck. His recent editing credits include Air, 22 July, Unbroken, and Concussion. Goldenberg received dual Oscar nominations in 2013, also being nominated, along with editor Dylan Tichenor, for his work on Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty. In 2015, Billy was again nominated for an Oscar, a BAFTA Award, and an Eddie Award for the historical thriller The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley. He was previously Oscar-nominated for his editing work on Seabiscuit, and on Michael Mann's controversial film The Insider (with Paul Rubell and David Rosenbloom). Goldenberg was also part of the editing team on Mann's Heat, Ali, and Miami Vice BRETT M. REED Prior to cutting UNSTOPPABLE for Billy, Brett also collaborated with Artists Equity on Doug Liman's film THE INSTIGATORS, starring Matt Damon, Casey Affleck and Hong Chau. Additionally, he edited OLD, directed by M. Night Shyamalan for Universal Pictures, as well as several episodes of Shyamalan's television show THE SERVANT for Apple TV+. Previously Reed cut CLOUDS directed by Justin Baldoni for Disney+; Christoph Waltz' GEORGETOWN; Automatik's DREAMLAND directed by Miles Joris-Peyrafitte and starring Margot Robbie; and Nick Hamm's bio-thriller DRIVEN, starring Erin Moriarty and Lee Pace.

In this final instalment of our year-long journey through the cinema of Kathryn Bigelow, we are discussing her last directorial effort to date, the 2017 Detroit. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Bigelow telling stories she cares about, the responsibility of the storyteller towards the material and the nuances of telling socially relevant stories in today's climate. We also talk about the complex structure of the movie working to its benefit and detriment, the idea of letting characters exist enabling viewer's personal engagement and the visceral horror depicted in the movie. Finally, we share some thoughts on Bigelow's filmography, list our favourite movies of hers and wonder about movies we'd like to see her direct next. Tune in and enjoy!

¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2024! Lo hemos vuelto a hacer: Un programa de más de cuatro horas donde nos metemos a fondo con los temas que nos vuelven locos. Pero eso sí, ¡qué a gusto nos hemos quedado! De entrada, en nuestra Videoteca Lode volvemos a traer uno de esos films que nos marcaron en nuestros tiempos mozos. Esta vez no nos remontamos tan atrás como para rememorar nuestras épocas más infantiles, pero sí para recuperar esos años rebeldes de nuestra juventud alocada, en donde una inyección de adrenalina pura era tan importante como el sexo. Con LE LLAMAN BODHI (Point Break -1991), el compañero Halcón Maltés y el director de LODE, echarán un vistazo a los días del grunge, de la filosofía de la película, de los deportes de riesgo y de varios asuntos que orbitan en torno al guión de esta producción, amén de analizar con todo lujo de detalles la propia cinta de Kathryn Bigelow, por supuesto, con Patrick Swayze y Keanu Reeves en los papeles principales. Será una incursión en plena caída libre por esos ciento veintitrés minutos de película, llenos de acción, intriga y pasión desenfrenada, en busca de la Ola Perfecta. Para que luego durante un minuto y medio, Juan Méndez la destroce. Más tarde nos meteremos, en nuestra sección Fase Final, en el que para muchos (incluidos nosotros) jugadores es el videojuego con la historia más compleja y mejor escrita que se ha visto hasta el momento: THE LAST OF US. No es sólo otra aventura de disparos y zombies. En realidad, esta obra maestra del videojuego es mucho más. Su guión podría hacer llorar a muchos guionistas de Hollywood, pues es raro que en un viaje de tantas horas como las propone el juego, puedas llegar a apreciar a esos personajes que nos salen al paso, odiar a otros, lamentar la pérdida o despedida de ciertas personas y sentirte parte de esa pequeña familia que acabarán conformando Joel y Ellie, los protagonistas de esta historia. Una experiencia inolvidable que lo convierten en un clásico instantáneo y que será largamente recordada por gamers de todo el mundo. Rafa Martínez y Antonio Runa analizarán el juego sin spoilers durante 80 minutos aproximadamente, y después de la Alarma Roja, destriparán todas las tramas y comentarán los momentos más brillantes de esta apasionante historia, incluyendo su polémico final, durante unos 70 minutos más. Será un programa completo tanto para los que conozcan el material del que se habla, como para los profanos en ambas materias. Un LODE preparado, grabado y editado con todo el cariño de unos humildes artesanos del podcast. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals
Recorded on: Tuesday September 10th, 2024 Hola, fans! That Horror Show Podcast is back with a brand new episode that will bring joy and excitement to your eardrums! Those lovable hosts Timothy Kazda and Chris Koenig have been doing some hardcore (eh, maybe softcore?) WWE practice for this very special episode. Yes, it's a double-feature horror movie review...BUT, it's also a little different in its approach. Basically, Chris and Tim review two 80s horror movies with a very similar theme that came out within the same year, and see which one is better than the other. In the case of this episode, it's none other than Joel Schumacher's set-in-stone classic "The Lost Boys" (1987) vs. Kathryn Bigelow's cult classic "Near Dark" (1987)...in other words, to movies that couldn't be anymore different...or are they??? Hey, you gotta listen to find out what the boys think. And also, none other than Nate from 'Kids Corner' will provide his brief take on both movies as well! * Edit update: Unfortunately, Nate could not make the recording session.
On the latest episode of the podcast, Jamie just wants to take a few moments to 'Tickle the Monster', Doug's television really wants him to watch Juwanna Mann instead of Near Dark, and we both agree that there needs to be a new Vampire handbook or pamphlet printed much like the Handbook to the Recently Deceased in Beetlejuice. Take a moment to stop and listen to the night, chug that mug of waitress blood, and join us as we take in a movie filled with vampires, explosions and shootouts with cops...that's actually just a love story as we discuss the incredible Kathryn Bigelow film, Near Dark!Visit our YouTube ChannelMerch on TeePublic Follow us on TwitterFollow on InstagramFind us on FacebookVisit our Website
Johnny Spoiler dishes out his unique and hilarious take on the latest in TV, movies, and more. The episode kicks off with some unconventional advice—If your baby mama wants you to move to Florida, think twice!—with Johnny comparing Florida to a “dark space between your balls and your butthole.” From there, things only get wilder. Johnny breaks down Ryan Murphy's new show, "The Beauty," featuring a bizarre STD that makes you more attractive while it kills you. He speculates about Ashton Kutcher and Evan Peters, and how Kutcher might be dodging the spotlight for now. The episode dives into horror movie history as Johnny discusses cult favorite Near Dark and praises director Kathryn Bigelow. Want to spice up your Halloween watchlist? Tune in for his recommendation! Later, Johnny gives the lowdown on the monster-filled flick Lurking Fear and its messy production woes. Does it get a binge now, binge later, or binge never rating? Find out in this deep dive into schlocky horror classics! Finally, Johnny takes a jab at vampire-gentrified towns with his review of the new Salem's Lot on Max and talks about how vampires and real estate investments might go hand in hand.

This week Paul and Amy are breaking down the 1991 Kathryn Bigelow film Point Break, starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze. The two dig into this elevated action movie and discuss how Kathryn Bigelow helped launch Keanu Reeves into action stardom.
