Podcast appearances and mentions of Kevin Bacon

Eric revisits X-Men: First Class, the sharp, stylish prequel that redefined the X-Men without Wolverine at the center. Set during the Cuban Missile Crisis, this 2011 film explores the fragile brotherhood between Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr, the tragedy of Darwin, Mystique's choice, and Kevin Bacon's underrated turn as Sebastian Shaw. Why does this film still hold up over a decade later? And what lessons should Marvel Studios take as mutants prepare to join the MCU? Plus: updates on Marvel Maniac itself, including the Apple Podcasts victory and what's next for the show.

This week on PodQuest, Drootin and Walnut sit down and have one more chat about Doom The Dark Ages, from Droo's POV, plus Walnut has been playing the long away Hollow Knight Silk Song, and they chat about some Dropout content.  Continuing with our Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon challenge, our next book club pick is The Boondock Saints (1999), which includes Billy Connolly, who appeared in Muppet Treasure Island. The goal of the game is each of us will pick a movie that includes an actor from the previous pick with the hopes that the final pick (number 6!) will include Kevin Bacon.

You may have noticed, on occasion, that friends you have from totally different parts of your life sometimes know each other.  It often comes as a surprise, but it actually shouldn't. It turns out that the world is highly connected via personal relationships.  In fact, it has been suggested that any two people in the world are only six degrees apart from each other via friends of friends of a friend. In some special cases, this can actually be measured and can even make for a fun game.  Learn more about the Six Degrees of Separation theory and its connection to Kevin Bacon on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Today, we did something a little unorthodox… Perhaps, a bit uncalled for… Maybe even a little unnecessary... We decided to mess with the timeline, and record an impromptu episode and shuffle it ahead. What could be so important that would earn such a shuffling?As you may know by now, Rob and myself - aka Araless and Hash Adams - released a project called the Toxic Crusaders. As the Troma Entertainment world is special to us, we were very excited to see the new Toxic Avenger movie starring Peter Dinklage, Taylour Paige, Elijah Wood & Kevin Bacon. Spoilers aplenty in this one, so be warned! Although Toxie is our touchstone in this one, we also discuss in detail the new Wizdumb & Hash Adams album Worst Case Scenario out now!

Evan calling in hot from the bars with a Slaysian Royale recap of his own. Plus: awkward break mishaps, favorite drag queens, and Lauri's infamous run-ins with Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick.

“The thing that started it all off was me saying [the character Toxie] should be a guy in a suit. In other words, let's not do a computer-generated creature, let's have a person in a suit and have that handmade, hand-stitched kind of quality to it where you can sort of see the seams a little bit and have that be part of the fun. I also said let's have it be rated R. Hopefully y'all are not interested in a family-friendly PG-13 version of this movie, because that's not what the fans of the original are going to want, so let's keep it in the R-zone. And let's make sure it stays very silly. That silliness is what was so appealing to me about the original, and I just wanted to make sure that we weren't going to try and do something that was too self-serious,” says The Toxic Avenger writer/director Macon Blair about pitching Legendary Studios his version of how he would reimagine the classic black comedy splatter film for a modern audience while staying loyal to the fans of the 1984 version.  On today's episode, we chat with writer/director/actor Macon Blair about his previous films like Blue Ruin and I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore, which won the Sundance Grand Jury award in 2017. His latest film is a reboot of The Toxic Avenger starring Peter Dinklage and Kevin Bacon, and is a whole lot of gory, gross-out fun. Blair talks about the need to dig into the over-the-top absurdity of the franchise while still making the modern version of the story feel authentic.  “I'm always looking for something that I can connect to on a personal level. I don't mean autobiographical. I mean to be able to have that electrical current with what I'm typing out,” he says. Blair tells us about his on-going journey to finding his voice as a writer and what it was like waiting two years to get distribution for The Toxic Avenger. He also explains why he skewers a famous screenwriting trope in the film that involves a cat named Mr. Treats who was apparently quite the menace. To hear more insight, listen to the podcast.   

We go rafting with Kevin Bacon! First, he tries to teach us survival skills, but he seems to have a bad temper in WHITE WATER SUMMER. Then, he tricks us into helping out with a heist in THE RIVER WILD.

Director, writer, and actor Macon Blair has been making movies with friends since he was young -- including frequent collaborator Jeremy Saulnier. His new film is THE TOXIC AVENGER, starring Peter Dinklage and Kevin Bacon. It might not feel like an obvious follow-up to his work with Saulnier, nor to Blair's previous film, I DON'T FEEL AT HOME IN THIS WORLD ANYMORE; neither might seem like a direct descendent of Macon's "feeling seen" choice, DAZED AND CONFUSED. But as Jordan will uncover during this conversation, the through-lines are there. They always are.Then, Jordan has one quick thing about this year's BIG BAD FILM FEST. Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.Need more Feeling Seen? Keep up with the show on Instagram and Bluesky.

When Nadine Whitney interviewed actor Frank Mosley, she started their chat with a game akin to Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Want to know how to get to Meryl Streep from Frank? Easier than even Frank probably thinks. Frank starred in Geoff Marslett's Quantum Cowboys which also featured Alex Cox. Alex Cox directed Ed Harris in Walker. Ed also features in Stephen Daldry's adaptation of The Hours.Frank is usually a supporting or character actor, but when given the chance to lead a film such as Cameron Bruce Nelson's award-winning 2015 film Some Beasts there is a particular grace to his performance which proves he can (and should) carry a film.Originally from Texas and now living in Los Angeles, Frank has been in three films with Lily Gladstone, Chained for Life directed by Aaron Schimberg, and is an accomplished director in his own right.Frank has the incredible ability to create and sustain community within his artistic practice. He's open to the absurd, the heartfelt, the just plain weird, and the full dramatic spectrum.Nadine spoke to Frank about working with Albert Birney and Peter Ohs (he also featured in Ohs' excellent Love and Work) about their 8-Bit fantasy OBEX in which he plays a television named Victor. Take a listen to Frank and his generous and warm presence (even before he'd finished his first coffee) and then go find his work.Check out Nadine's reviews of OBEX and Quantum Cowboys.Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Bluesky @thecurbau.

YOU can change this! It's summary from Zoom! Use for reference. Get ready for a truly insightful conversation with the incredible Jolene Purdy! After seeing her at a recent in-person audition, Alyshia immediately called her agent and declared, “I just met this actress—I swear to God she's gonna get it!” From that moment, she knew Jolene had to come on the podcast. In today's episode, you'll hear behind-the-scenes stories like that shared audition, where Jolene made bold, unexpected choices despite having very little information about the character. Her distinctive voice and interpretations often go against the writing—making it even better. That inventive spirit has fueled a career spanning her unforgettable debut in Donnie Darko to standout roles in Under the Dome, Orange Is the New Black, The White Lotus, and her latest work opposite Kevin Bacon in The Bondsman. These are the unforgettable stories that landed Jolene Purdy right here.

“Our goal in writing [Sirens] was to write something that makes you think, and offers the opportunity to re-examine your own assumptions that you made about these characters. And it's taxing. We ask some difficult questions. It's not The Perfect Couple. It's not a murder show. We're going after something thematically that's really large and really ambitious, and that's why the Greek mythology came to mind. These are epic stories. These are about blood, and moms, and torture, and trauma, and pain. These themes are not tiny. These are complicated, juicy stews,” says showrunner and creator, Molly Smith Metzler about why she wanted to invoke big themes from Greek drama in her TV show Sirens.  On today's episode, we chat with Molly Smith Metzler, showrunner and creator of the hit Netflix limited series Sirens starring Julianne Moore, Meghann Fahy and Kevin Bacon. The show is based on her stage play Elemeno Pea from 2011. Smith Metzler talks about making the transition from playwriting to television and what she learned about being in the writer's room for Orange is the New Black.  "Everything you do in a [writer's] room is an offering. I'm here to serve, I'm here to serve you. Come in with ideas, offer them. If they don't hit, back off of them. You are a sous chef and a waiter," she says.  She also talks about writing edgy female characters unapologetically, like the ones in Sirens, and the numerous times she was asked to remove a certain risqué scene from the pilot script – which she refused to do. "We have to write these women in their truest form – they're complicated, and they don't have to explain themselves, either. My job is not to soften her so an audience won't turn off the TV show," she says.  To hear more about creating Sirens listen to the podcast.
