Directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson with Andy Garcia, Derek Jacobi, Wayne Knight and Robin Williams, it tells the story of a woman who has lost her memory (Thompson), and a private eye (Brannagh) who is enlisted to track down her identity, but he soon finds that he might have a past life connection to her that endangers both of their lives.

Now making her RSC debut, Amara sat down with us to talk about taking on the role of Ariel opposite Kenneth Branagh's Prospero in Sir Richard Eyre's new production of The Tempest.  Having already played some of the UK's most prestigious and largest stages including the London Coliseum, Sheffield Crucible and Chichester Festival Theatre, Amara tells us about adapting to playing larger houses as she prepares to tackle the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.In this new interview with Amara Okereke, we talk about her transition from musical theatre to straight plays and her ongoing evolution as a performer. After playing some of the most coveted roles like Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady and Laurey in Oklahoma!, Amara has since taken on roles like Stella in A Streetcar Named Desire and took on the lead role in Pulse at the King's Head Theatre. We hear her talk about her desire to keep exploring new characters that challenge her as she continues to evolve as a performer and as a person. She tells us about the mentor / muse relationship between Prospero and Ariel before also sharing her admiration for career role models she's worked with like Janie Dee and Elena Shaddow. Our conversations offers a candid look at the craft of an actress who refuses to be pigeonholed, offering a masterclass in staying authentic while stepping into the formidable weight of a theatrical legacy.The Tempest runs at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre until 20 June.

But after the death of a publishing mogul leaves Miranda's future uncertain, will the fashion queen be forced to trade first-class flights and chauffeured town cars for coach seats and Uber rides?

John Wick, Woody Allen, Kenneth Branagh, Johnny Depp… la carriera di Riccardo Scamarcio è troppo ghiotta per non farsela raccontare in un nuovo episodio!In occasione dell'uscita di Alla festa della Rivoluzione, gli abbiamo chiesto di tutto: dal suo primo bacio al cinema — legato a un film che non immaginereste mai — fino alla passione per i colpi di scena, quel filo rosso che unisce The Substance a Nanni Moretti. Non solo: ci ha svelato anche un retroscena inedito, raccontandoci come si usano le armi su un set internazionale…

In this episode Eric, Will, and Jasone attempt to analyze Kenneth Branagh's epic adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, examining its faithfulness to the novel, Robert De Niro's performance as the Creature, the over-the-top creation scene, and the film's Arctic framing device - in other words, there's going to be a lot of comparing to the 1992 version going on.

This week in physical media, Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski guide you through a week that includes a pair of lesser Peter Sellers efforts as well as a Southern melodrama known more for the way Marlon Brando is beaten up. There is also some Billy Dee Williams and River Phoenix and a little Bunuel. Cult audiences have a lot to cheer this week from the horror of the late 70s to romance of the early 80s. Keanu Reeves squares off against Al Pacino's devil and there is a lot of love for Kenneth Branagh's Hitchcockian mystery that may still remain his best and most entertaining film.1:24 - Criterion (Viridiana (4K))6:18 - Alliance (The Chase)13:38 - Synapse (Blue Sunshine (4K))19:30 - Shout (Devil's Advocate (4K))29:39 - Kino (Scott Joplin, The Return of the Pink Panther (4K), The Prisoner of Zenda, Somewhere in Time (4K), A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon, Dead Again (4K))1:20:46 - New TV & Theatrical Titles On Blu-ray (Resident Alien (The Complete Series), Little Amelie or the Character of Rain, Little Trouble Girls)1:21:42 - New Blu-ray AnnouncementsCLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST OR BUY FROM MOVIEZYNGBe sure to check outErik's Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten TomatoesCritics' Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, ILChicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streamingPhysical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.(Direct purchases help the Movie Madness podcast with a few pennies.)Erik's Linktree - Where you can follow Erik and his work anywhere and everywhere.The Movie Madness Podcast has been recognized by Million Podcasts as one of the Top 100 Best Movie Review Podcasts as well as in the Top 60 Film Festival Podcasts and Top 100 Cinephile Podcasts.

Ben and Rob crack open the lab and fire up the lightning rods for their trip into Frankenstein, the long-gestating passion project from Guillermo del Toro, and things get stitched together fast. Before they even get near the operating table, the pair dig back to the source, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, unpacking the Creature's original, deeply human motivation and how often adaptations miss the tragic point entirely.From there, Rob unveils a chaotic brand-new segment (almost definitely probably returning… maybe) in a heroic attempt to keep the episode on the rails, before the conversation lurches through cinema history: from the shadow of Boris Karloff's silver-screen monster in Frankenstein, to how that imagery still crackles through del Toro's gothic sensibilities. The boys also can't help noticing eerie déjà vu, debating why parts of this version feel like a near carbon copy of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein directed by Kenneth Branagh, and whether homage, coincidence, or mad-science recycling is to blame.Along the way, they detour into one of the wildest behind-the-scenes stories in Hollywood; how James Cameron reportedly helped Guillermo to save del Toro's kidnapped father and how that real-life horror shaped the filmmaker's lifelong obsession with monsters, loss, and empathy.It's bolts, brains, and big feelings as Ben and Rob ask what still shocks, what feels stitched together from past versions, what makes this Creature tick in 2025… and, as always, beneath the thunder, tragedy, and tortured men of science… what does Frankenstein really mean?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!PLUS!

Sergio García y Yadira Márquez, de SY Cinema, traen noticias como la serie Spider-Noir o Mayday con Ryan Reynolds y Kenneth Branagh.

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1318 The Face Knows: The Forbidden Science of Reading Power, Deception, and Destiny Richard Syrett dives into the forbidden art of physiognomy with Taylor Northcutt, founder of Prosopa Insights. For millennia, humanity read character, temperament, and intent directly from facial structure—not as random genetics, but as a biological record shaped by the same forces that forge dominance, empathy, deception, and will. Kings, judges, and artists once trusted this wisdom; then modern society buried it, dismissing it as pseudoscience. Northcutt revives these ancient patterns, exploring why certain faces inspire instant trust or visceral unease, how power etches its signature, and why early depictions of Christ follow precise archetypes. The conversation pressure-tests real-world figures—Jeffrey Epstein's predatory charm, Vladimir Putin's sealed restraint, Donald Trump's raw readability—and even doppelgängers, including Richard's own resemblances to Tucker Carlson and Kenneth Branagh. Culminating in the Shroud of Turin, they confront a provocative question: What happens when a civilization trains itself to ignore the truths written on the human face? GUEST: Taylor Northcutt is the founder and director of Prosopa Insights, a platform dedicated to reviving and applying physiognomy—the ancient practice of reading personality, temperament, and character from facial features. In 2024, he launched Prosopa Insights to offer personalized face-reading consultations, business consulting, educational content via his YouTube channel (@ProsopaInsights, with over 37K subscribers), articles, videos, and a Patreon "Physiognomy Academy." His work explores how faces reveal innate traits, often analyzing public figures, historical icons like Carl Jung, and modern personalities to demonstrate pattern recognition over pseudoscience. Northcutt positions physiognomy as a practical tool for self-awareness, relationships, and decision-making—encouraging people to "judge a book by its cover" in a grounded, observational way.

Tune in as Andy (Fat Dude Digs Flicks Movie Podcasts) regains his comfy old guest seat in order to unpack Dead Again, the 1991 neo-noir romantic thriller about a private investigator's mission to help an amnesiac and nonverbal woman recover her memories—a path that ends up uncovering a strange connection between her and a murder from several decades ago. Thoughts on Kenneth Branagh as a director, Robin Williams being talented enough to distract us from the exposition-dumping of his side role, showing love for the tropes of amnesia and hypnotism, and nostalgia for older thrillers from the 90s or so that were willing to go places (including Kiss the Girls and What Lies Beneath) arise as a few of the topics for this episode.Directed by Kenneth Branagh, Dead Again stars Branagh, Emma Thompson, Derek Jacobi, Wayne Knight, Andy Garcia, Robin Williams, Richard Easton, Jo Anderson, Hanna Schygulla, Campbell Scott, and Miriam Margolyes.Spoilers for What Lies Beneath start at 33:00 and end at 33:50Spoilers for Dead Again start at 34:40Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastrHere's how you can learn more about Palestine and IsraelHere's how you can keep up-to-date on this genocideHere's how you can send eSIM cards to Palestinians in order to help them stay connected onlineGood Word:• Andy: Candy Cain Kills and Candy Cain Kills Again: The Second Slaying by Brian McAuley• Arthur: Dinner in AmericaReach out at email2centscritic@yahoo.com if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!Be sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes or any of your preferred podcasting platforms!Follow Arthur on Twitter, Goodpods, StoryGraph, Letterboxd, and TikTok: @arthur_ant18Follow Arthur on Bluesky: @arthur-ant18Follow the podcast on Twitter: @two_centscriticFollow the podcast on Instagram: @twocentscriticpodFollow Arthur on GoodreadsCheck out 2 Cents Critic Linktree

This week, Michele Cobb joins host Jo Reed to dig into audiobooks built on backstory, beginning with Expert Witness, where Gabra Zackman delivers Anne Wolbert Burgess' account of trauma, justice, and the evolution of expert testimony with clarity and restraint. Next, they turn to A Fine Line Between Stupid and Clever, a joyful, detail-packed oral history of the 1984 film Spinal Tap—an ensemble cast production led by Rob Reiner, where seemingly spontaneous commentary makes the audiobook the definitive way to experience the story. The episode closes with We Did OK, Kid, a reflective memoir in which Kenneth Branagh's elegant narration frames Anthony Hopkins's vulnerable reflections on craft, ambition, and a life shaped by performance. Together these audiobooks show how lived experience—whether in the courtroom, on a film set, or across a lifetime in acting—gains depth and resonance when shaped by a narrator who knows when to be restrained, playful, or quietly vulnerable. Audiobooks Discussed: Expert Witness: The Weight of Our Testimony When Justice Hangs in the Balance by Ann Wolbert Burgess with Steven Matthew Constantine, read by Gabra Zackman A Fine Line Between Stupid and Clever: The Story of Spinal Tap, written and read by Rob Reiner, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer  We Did Ok, Kid: A Memoir by Sir Anthony Hopkins, read by Kenneth Branagh with the author Learn more about your ad choices.

At long last, the boys are at a pivotal moment in their Murder On The Orient Express series. After a bumpy ride of with the first two major adaptations, we finally come to the hot mess that is the 2017 adaptation by Kenneth Branagh. Is it a hit? Is it a miss? Is it both? Welcome to our review, which, much like this film, is something that nobody asked for.We discuss:

In this show, we are extending our ongoing Mike Nichols Marathon as our journey through his filmography takes us deeper into the 1990's where we finally take on the 1994 Wolf. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about this movie's positioning among other classical horror archetypes explored by other filmmakers (such as Dracula directed by Francis Ford Coppola, Kenneth Branagh's Frankenstein, or Martin Scorsese's Cape Fear), whether this big budget production could be considered a comeback for the aging Nichols and how it reunited him with Elaine May. We also discuss the many readings one could apply to this film, ranging from commenting on the AIDS epidemic and corporate politics to discussions about masculinity and the director's own life trajectory, and we also explore the friction between the film's ambition and its own ability to deliver on character and theme development. Finally, we chuckle at Jack Nicholson's sharpened senses and find out that Jakub might not be able to pronounce the title of the movie correctly at all.

PJ and PLD continue (in public now) the MCU rewatch.  Recorded about 6-7 months ago we watch the first time we delve into the realm of fantasy in the Marvel Universe.  Kenneth Branagh's Thor!#mcu #thor #chrishemsworth #natalieportman 

I den tredje udgave af Poptillæggets bogklub læser vi Mary Shelleys gotiske roman ’Frankenstein’ fra 1818. En bog, der er sivet ned i kulturen som halloweenmasker, Netflix-serier, kostumer og videredigtninger, og som er blevet filmatiseret af alle fra James Whale, Andy Warhol og Kenneth Branagh og nu også en storstilet Netflix filmversion af Guillermo Del Toro. Men romanforlægget er sit helt eget særlige universelle værk, der i tidens teknologiske vanvidstilstand alligevel føles mere relevant end nogensinde. Vi dykker ned i værket, laver et miniportræt af Mary Shelley og diskuterer, hvordan hun på sin elegant vis kunne foregribe vor tids videnskabelige hybris. PANEL: Emma Rosenzweig, kunstner og forfatter. Anbefaling: Se filmen ’Les Yeux Sans Visage’ fra 1960. Cecilie Lind, forfatter. Anbefaling: Læs ’Nekrofilen’ af Gabrielle Wittkop. Amalie Langballe, journalist og forfatter. Anbefaling: Teaterstykket ’Prometheus’ på Nørrebro Teater. Vært: Lucia Odoom: Anbefaling: Dyk ned i Elizabeth Holmes-sagen. REDAKTION: Lucia Odoom og Jonas Bach-Madsen. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Season 9, Episode 19 (Originally released on December 18th, 2025) Hello and welcome to another episode of The Shame List Picture Show. Today, Jason Hillman returns to the pod to talk Frankenstein — not just Guillermo del Toro's latest opus, but the monster and myth across its many adaptations. Michael and Jason wax philosophically on what works (and doesn't) in Frankenstein on film. Spoiler: Michael is far more forgiving than Jason. One point of total agreement, however, is their shared love for Kenneth Branagh's Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. We dig into all of it.

Denzember continues with Culture Kitsch host Bobbi Miller joining us to discuss Kenneth Branagh's 1993 Shakespeare adaptation Much Ado About Nothing. Following his successful Henry V adaptation, Branagh returned to Shakespeare for a much airier, light-hearted affair, fashioning the classic play into an immensely pleasurable studio romantic comedy while preserving the spirit and (more importantly) the language of Much Ado..., assembling a showstopper ensemble led by Branagh, Emma Thompson, Michael Keaton, Keanu Reeves, and Denzel as Don Pedro of Aragon, nearly 30 years before he would take on The Tragedy of Macbeth.  We begin with a discussion of Branagh's formal tendencies, how his maximalism works for the genre, and illuminate his underremarked upon technical prowess. Then, we discuss what Branagh's Much Ado...  preserves from Shakespeare's stage, what it omits, and how these ommissions speak to the film's position as an End of History artifact interested in reifying traditional family values centered around monogamous, heterosexual couplings. Finally, we discuss how Denzel's Don Pedro is utliized narratively and thematically in the film, and how Denzel's movie star persona and race factor into our perception of the character.
