Hello cult leaders and self-loathing playwrights and all the ships at sea and welcome to A Very Good Year. As you probably know by now we are retiring this show and coming back in 2025 with a whole new show, Guide for the Film Fanatic, this Sunday! The show is based on a film-by-film run through of Danny Peary's seminal 1986 book of the same name, where one of our fabulous guests picks a film and we dive in. In the meantime we're revisiting some of our favorite guests and favorite movies by decade. This week we're looking back at the 1990s, objectively a great decade for movies and a very formative one for many of our guests (and hosts).In this episode we've got Mac Welch, David Simms, Keith Phipps, John Early, Karen Han, Hunter Harris, Alissa Wilkinson, Roxana Hadadi, Daniel Waters, Kristen Meinzer, Siddhant Adlakha, Allison Herman, Abby Olcese, Noel Murray, and Emily St. James.Enjoy!

Film critic Keith Phipps returns for his second UNWATCHABLES season finale, and how better to close out the year than with a harrowing arthouse classic and its unlikely grindhouse remake? Ingmar Bergman's THE VIRGIN SPRING is a stark, unsettling adaptation of a 13th century folk ballad; 12 years later, it served as the inspiration for the grisly debut of horror director Wes Craven, 1972's THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT. We discuss how Bergman's religious fable morphed into the template for the modern rape-revenge film, and what was lost—or gained—in translation. Don't forget to join us at http://Patreon.com/Unwatchables for an exclusive Q&A with Keith, plus all our weekly bonus content!

The most recent in a long lineage of music biopics, Back to Black, which purports to chronicle the life of the late great Amy Winehouse came out in the US last week. The film received mostly negative reviews and underperformed at the box office. So why are these movies, generally speaking, so unsuccessful and why do we keep making then? Movie Critic Keith Phipps join DJ Louie to discuss Back to Black, the history of music biopics, why the good ones are good and why most of them are so bad.

Movie of the Year: 1984Once Upon a Time in America (with Keith Phipps)Can Once Upon in America take the title of our 1984 Movie of the Year?Once Upon a Time in America is a movie of epic scope even though it is the tale of small-time crooks trying to screw each other over to make it out of the gutter. (And one guy lives in Buffalo for like decades.) This contrast is just one of many artfully nestled into one of the harder watching experiences we've had on this show. And we've seen American Beauty. Multiple times. Ugh.Joining us will be very special guest Keith Phipps, an actual writer with actual opinions on movies, unlike normal panelists Greg and Mike, dullards of the highest order. Keith has contributed to Rolling Stone, Slate, The Daily Beast, GQ, and The Verge, which c'mon that's cool. He is here to help us get into how this movie fits into the canon of great gangster movies. We will also discuss the special relationship between Noodles and Maxie before covering the often-upsetting, and very confusing, portrayal of romance and sexuality in the movie.Be sure to check out Keith's upcoming book, The Age of Cage, a look at Hollywood through the singular cinematic experience that is Nicolas Cage.

For today's episode, we delve into the mournful crime masterpiece that is Martin Scorsese's "The Irishman.” Join critics Keith Phipps and Ben Friedman as we explore the genius of Scorsese's direction, Robert De Niro's chilling portrayal of Frank Sheeran, the soulfuss of Al Pacino as Jimmy Hoffa, and the return of Joe Pesci to the big screens, in this fascinating deconstruction of the crime genre. We'll discuss the film's themes, its impact on the crime genre, and its enduring legacy in cinema.

Critic and journalist Keith Phipps draws a portrait of the enigmatic icon by looking at―what else?―Cage's expansive filmography.Doug Hess is the host.

“Fun City Cinema” hosts Jason Bailey and Mike Hull proudly present “A Very Good Year,” a new podcast with a simple premise: each week we invite a guest (filmmakers and actors, critics and historians, comedians and musicians) who loves movies, and ask them to select their favorite year of movies. Some pick a year from their movie-going past; some go deep into film history. Whichever the case, we spent (about) an hour talking about that year: we ask them to share their top five films of the year, and tell us why they love them; we look at the year's news headlines, award winners, and box office champions; and we finish with a lightning round, where we talk about as many films as possible in as few minutes as possible. “A Very Good Year” debuts this fall; our guests include Bilge Ebiri, Roxana Hadadi, Keith Phipps, Drew McWeeny, Dana Stevens, and Alex Winter.

Adapting the appendices of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth saga for a streaming series slated to run for 40 episodes is a much different exercise than paring down the writer's most celebrated work to feature-length, which is one reason, among many, that Prime Video's new THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RINGS OF POWER feels like a different beast than director Peter Jackson's celebrated film trilogy that kicked off with 2001's THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING. But the two projects are naturally in conversation with each other by virtue of their source material and the expectations that come with it, which we attempt to parse as we share our early reactions to RINGS OF POWER's first three episodes with help from our returning special guest, Vulture critic Roxana Hadadi. Then we bring FELLOWSHIP back into the equation to consider how the two tales converge and diverge around Tolkien's mythology, how each handles this saga's big themes of good vs. evil, friendship, and cooperation, and how well their respective large-scale fantasy worlds function on both a narrative and visual level. Plus, Keith and Roxana dig briefly into the extended cuts of Jackson's films for Your Next Picture Show. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, RINGS OF POWER, or anything else in the world of Tolkien, film, or Tolkien on film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net, leaving a short voicemail at 773-234-9730, or commenting on our Patreon (patreon.com/NextPictureShow), where you can also find bonus episodes and more.

Well, minute-for-minute, it has the highest Patty McG purity rating of any film we've covered save perhaps for Braveheart. It's much harder to find but worth the hunt for those such as we.

Hannah and Cameron talk about Nicolas Cage, surrealism, shoeleather, the audacity of Audrey Horne, and the first "mid" episode of Twin Peaks.
Episode two hundred three - part one Jenn was lucky enough to talk to one of her very favorite film writers about one of her very favorite film actors. Keith Phipps' AGE OF CAGE: FOUR DECADES OF HOLLYWOOD THROUGH ONE SINGULAR CAREER is a do-not-miss title for all fans of film history and Nicolas Cage.
Keith Phipps is a writer who has worked for the AV Club and the Dissolve. He specializes mainly in pop culture, making him a natural fit for the show. Keith just wrote his first book. It's called Age of Cage: Four Decades of Hollywood Through One Singular Career. The subject of the book is the one and only Nicolas Cage. Cage is arguably one of the most enigmatic actors in recent memory. In his over forty years of acting, Cage has performed in unforgettable classics, arthouse indies, blockbuster action movies, direct-to-video horror and everything, literally every possible thing, in between. Keith Phipps joins the show to talk about his new book and how doing research for it has changed his opinion about Nicolas Cage. He also breaks down some of his favorite Nick Cage roles and shares how he makes sense of the actor's resurgent career now.

Tabor The Age of Cage, by Keith Phipps
"SOPHIE'S CHOICE is a rare film, literate, deeply moving, and gifted with an absolutely awe-inspire it performance by Meryl Streep." Bob Thomas of the Associated Press really comes out swinging and he should probably calm down. We all agree that Meryl is great, but the rest of the movie... not so much. "The way Streep inhabits Sophie, and brings her history to life whether she's explicitly talking about the past or carrying herself across the room with wounded grace, can't help but make parts of the rest of the film seem smaller by comparison." There it is, Keith Phipps of The Dissolve. We have decided Streep is good, that it just might make the movie worse. Stingo, Stinko, whatever your name is, you have no business talking to this woman at all. Mike and Dave talk accents, manslaughter charges, and if this movie would even get made in the days of Film Twitter (the answer, as always, is no.) Oh, also we talk about Debra Winger A LOT.

Age of Cage might be the closest we will get to understanding the singular beauty of each of Nic Cage's always electric performances. You are holding the Rosetta Stone for Cage. Enjoy it.”—Paul Scheer, actor, writer and host of the How Did This Get Made? and Unspooled podcastsIcon. Celebrity. Artist. Madman. Genius.Nicolas Cage is many things, but love him, or laugh at him, there's no denying two things: you've seen one of his many films, and you certainly know his name. But who is he, really, and why has his career endured for over forty years, with more than a hundred films, and birthed a million memes?Age of Cage is a smart, beguiling book about the films of Nicolas Cage and the actor himself, as well as a sharp-eyed examination of the changes that have taken place in Hollywood over the course of his career. Critic and journalist Keith Phipps draws a portrait of the enigmatic icon by looking at—what else?—Cage's expansive filmography.As Phipps delights in charting Cage's films, Age of Cage also chronicles the transformation of film, as Cage's journey takes him through the world of 1980s comedies (Valley Girl, Peggy Sue Got Married, Moonstruck), to the indie films and blockbuster juggernauts of the 1990s (Wild at Heart, Leaving Las Vegas, Face/Off, Con Air), through the wild and unpredictable video-on-demand world of today.Sweeping in scope and intimate in its profile of a fiercely passionate artist, Age of Cage is, like the man himself, surprising, insightful, funny, and one of a kind. So, snap out of it, and enjoy this appreciation of Nicolas Cage, national treasure.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/writers-on-film. Hosted on Acast.

Author & film journalist Keith Phipps discusses his recently published book "Age of Cage" about the film career of iconic & controversial actor Nicolas Cage. And film programmer Melissa Lyde talks about the mission she has with her film series, Alfreda's Cinema, which is currently having a fundraising campaign.
We sit down with Nicolas Cage expert Keith Phipps (author of The Age of Cage) to discuss the second highest grossing film of Cage's career (second only to its sequel). We consider the point at which this film lands in the arc of Cage's career, and how he draws on his well of acting experience to craft a character that blends elements of conspiratorial mania and fifth grade boy scout energy, selling the four-quadrant appeal of a movie about treasure hunting and historical preservation to both children and adults alike. We wonder what makes the film's portrayal of patriotism appealing and then explore what could have been for Cage, concluding with some recommended overlooked Cage films to explore!

With his first two films, 2017's "Columbus" and the new AFTER YANG, director Kogonada has established a meditative style of filmmaking that rewards close attention. "After Yang" takes place in a near-future that's populated by techno-sapiens, clones, and self-driving cars, but its characters struggle with all too familiar things like death, grief, and the meaning of life. In his conversation with the director, Adam asks about Kogonada's preoccupation with grieving, the quiet, non-confrontational style of his films, and the origins of "After Yang"'s thrilling title sequence. We also share a recent review of "Yang" from our sister podcast, The Next Picture Show, hosted by Tasha Robinson, Scott Tobias, Genevieve Koski, and Keith Phipps.

When the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center fell on September 11, 2001, New York City was changed forever: its skyline, its people, its mood. And its films were changed as well – some more immediately than others, as filmmakers struggled to determine how to deal with the now ghostly presence of the towers in films completed but not released before 9/11. Some films edited them out, some digitally removed them. But Brooklyn's own Spike Lee went the opposite direction, adding the tragedy into his film “25th Hour,” which was slated to shoot in the city that fall and winter. In doing so, he ended up crafting what we now consider the definitive post-9/11 New York movie. We'll hear archival audio of Lee and star Edward Norton explaining that decision and that process, and we'll break down the film that resulted, with the help of film critics Roxana Hadadi, Keith Phipps, and Scott Tobias, as well as filmmaker Jennifer Westfeldt (“Kissing Jessica Stein”). Content warning: From 3:36 to 7:41, you will hear audio of news reports from 9/11.
Craig talks to Keith about the movie roles Tom Hanks is famous for as well as some you may have forgotten about. Later, Keith gives a quick review of A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Finally, we close with a few quick reactions to some Disney+ shows.
As home theaters get more and more impressive, studios are fighting back with visually epic films like Gravity, which take the theatrical format to its current limits. Gravity’s huge box-office success and 10 Oscar nominations suggest the renewed focus on scale might work both financially and aesthetically, but what happens when movies made to get people into theaters leave the theaters, and home viewing is the only option? This week, we discuss movies where the presentation might be as important as the content, from Gravity to Jaws 3D. Then we check in with Nathan Rabin and Noel Murray, live from the Sundance Film Festival, for their picks on the best films soon to hit theaters, and their impression of how Sundance has changed since they started attending. We bring back Parental Guidance Suggested, where players have to identify a film from some of its IMDB Parent’s Guide warnings, then have Keith Phipps and Scott Tobias present their dueling recommendations in 30 Seconds To Sell. Spoiler: It’s a really close call this week.
