Kevin Costner gambled hard on making a three hour western, a third of which wasn't in the English language. He turned down roles in The Hunt For Red October and Presumed Innocent to take the risk of making Dances With Wolves. And while history tells it as a masterstroke, in the months leading up to the release, it looked anything but. In this episode, Simon digs into the story of the film, the fact that it was millions short of its modest budget when shooting began... and now, the tale of three different cuts of Dances With Wolves too.

Sci-fi month concludes with one of the great cinematic boondoggles of the '90s.

Standing in his way: General Bethlehem (Will Patton), a Shakespeare-quoting warlord leading a militia of survivalist zealots called the Holnists.

Then John Travolta has to protect his son and ex-wife from a murderous Vince Vaughn in Domestic Disturbance from 2001. Next, Kevin Costner takes us to a world far in the future, where dry land is a myth and bad dudes smoke cigarettes and ride jet skis in Waterworld from 1995. And finally, the true story of one man pushed to the edge, a ramshackle hostage situation, and the media circus that followed in Dead Man's Wire from 2025.

Lo getting steamy in the workplace, a Neil Diamond tribute band, Viral Hit, new Beavis and Butt-head, and a Divine Comedy dramedy? got a suggestion for the show?: whatsnewtonetflix@gmail.com

At the peak of his movie stardom and in the wake of having just won several Oscars for Best Picture-winner Dances With Wolves which he both starred in and directed, Kevin Costner (Yellowstone, Bull Durham, JFK) took on the iconic role of Robin of Locksley for his next major project.  He partnered with long-time friend and director Kevin Reynolds (Waterworld, The Count of Monte Cristo) to spearhead this this new adaptation of an iconic story, while also filling key roles with several prominent stars of the time including Oscar-winner Morgan Freeman as Azeem, Christian Slater as Will Scarlett, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as Marian, and most importantly at the time.....Alan Rickman (Die Hard) as the Sheriff of Nottingham.  What resulted was a very rushed, messy production where several roles ended up being miscast (including California-native Costner as the British Robin) and where the villain pretty much stole the show.  And yet when released in June of 1991, this film was a MASSIVE hit (much of that due to Costner's stardom) with several iconic scenes and a best-selling soundtrack.  In fact, this would go to be the ONLY genuinely successful on-screen adaptation of the Robin Legend since then.....so did it actually work, does it hold up?  Well only one way to find out....and remember that before you embark on this review: No blades! No bows!

Chris Walton and Ben Miller discuss where a potential U.S. World Cup victory would rank among the greatest sports achievements of their lifetimes, while also sharing some classic British optimism (and pessimism) ahead of England's tournament run.

Robin Hood has been a lot of things over the centuries: noble thief, romantic outlaw, swashbuckling folk hero, animated fox, Kevin Costner with an accent that wanders wherever it pleases. But in Michael Sarnoski's hands, the myth becomes something darker, sadder, and more spiritually eviscerated. His new film, “The Death of Robin Hood,” is less interested in the legend as a heroic brand than in the man who might be trapped beneath its curse.Written and directed by Sarnoski, “The Death of Robin Hood” stars Hugh Jackman as an aging, haunted Robin Hood, a man grappling with a life of violence after a battle leaves him gravely injured. In the care of a mysterious Prioress played by Jodie Comer, he's offered something that might look like salvation, if he can survive long enough to accept it. The film also stars Bill Skarsgård, Murray Bartlett, and Noah Jupe, and arrives in theaters June 19 via A24.READ MORE: ‘Obsession': Curry Barker On His Twisted Wish-Fulfillment Horror Breakout, Inde Navarrette's Wild Performance, ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre,' & More [The Discourse Podcast]Sarnoski joined The Playlist's The Discourse podcast to talk about stripping away centuries of heroic varnish, finding the emotional soul of Robin Hood, reuniting with cinematographer Pat Scola, and writing the upcoming “Death Stranding” movie. And early in the conversation, he acknowledged a thread that has become increasingly clear across his work, from “Pig” to “A Quiet Place: Day One” to “The Death of Robin Hood”: these are stories about people who, in some way, already feel dead before the movie begins.

We have to imagine that the life of an NPR White House Correspondent does not consistently feel relaxed, homey, sentimental, and warm. But you know what does? Field of Dreams, the 1989 Kevin Costner movie about an Iowa farmer with a field overrun by baseball ghosts. Danielle Kurtzleben, a White House Correspondent for NPR, is from Titonka, Iowa (population 491) and has probably seen the movie eleventy squillion times. She can quote large portions of the dialogue and proved it in our interview by reciting James Earl Jones' “They will come” monologue in her most sonorous NPR voice. You'll be asleep soon. By the way, do baseball ghosts sleep? Are there bunk beds out in the corn fields? Am I overthinking this?

“Locksley! I'm going to cut your heart out with a spoon!” Join Ian, Liam, Kev & Debbie for our 335th episode as we celebrate the 35th anniversary of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991). Grab your bow, avoid the Sheriff's dinner invitations, and prepare for a film packed with accents of varying legality, spoon-based violence, and enough Alan Rickman scenery-chewing to feed Nottingham for a winter. Megs isn't with us this week — she was scheduled to record, but unfortunately entered an archery tournament disguised as a peasant and is currently hiding from the Sheriff's tax collectors. This week we discuss: Kevin Costner's Robin Hood — movie star charisma, questionable accent, and whether audiences have ever really cared. Alan Rickman's Sheriff of Nottingham — one of cinema's great villains. Does he completely hijack the film from everyone around him? Morgan Freeman's Azeem — wisdom, dignity, and why he often feels like the smartest person in every scene. The 1991 blockbuster formula — action, romance, comedy, spectacle. Is this the perfect example of a film designed to entertain first and ask questions later? Ian explores the film's historical accuracy — or more accurately, the complete lack of concern anyone involved seems to have had about it. Liam questions whether the film is secretly two films at once — a sincere Robin Hood adventure and a dark comedy starring Alan Rickman. Kev dives into the action sequences — archery, sword fights, castle assaults, and how well they hold up three and a half decades later. Debbie weighs in on the romance — does Robin and Marian's relationship actually work, or is it simply required by law in a Robin Hood movie? The supporting cast — Michael Wincott, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Christian Slater, and one very famous cameo that audiences still cheer for. The accent debate — does Costner's performance improve if you simply accept that nobody in this film comes from the same county, let alone country? The “show vs tell” balance — does the film earn its emotional moments, or rely on Bryan Adams to do the heavy lifting? The ending — triumphant, excessive, and unapologetically crowd-pleasing. Is this blockbuster filmmaking at its purest? And finally, whether Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is the Best Film Ever — or simply one of the most entertaining adventure films of the 1990s.

Podcast 331 - Dunwoody's Insider Summer Guide, From the 50th Parade to the World Cup - Mark Galvin After watching the U.S. beat Paraguay in the 2026 FIFA World Cup — one of the most historic wins in U.S. soccer history — the energy around Dunwoody this summer is electric. Mark Galvin of Discover Dunwoody came on the podcast already pumped about the World Cup, and it's easy to see why: local restaurants are setting up watch parties all over town and the whole community is fired up. High Street is expanding fast, Perimeter Mall is getting its biggest overhaul in years, and a brand new tearoom at Park Place just opened that Mark says rivals anything in Atlanta. Dunwoody is quietly leveling up, and this conversation is the fastest way to catch up. If you're looking for something fun to do with your kids, I got early access to Thrillz in Doraville, an indoor adventure park near Assembly Atlanta with trampolines, zip lines, and 35-foot slides. We also grabbed tickets to Big League Wiffle Ball at Assembly, backed by Gary Vee, Kevin Costner, Tony Robbins, TI, and Julio Jones. It might be the most fun $7 you'll spend this summer. All of that plus the 50th Dunwoody 4th of July Parade, where Discover Dunwoody is bringing the trolley and handing out red, white, and blue soccer balls. Fifty years. Follow Discover Dunwoody on Instagram to stay on top of everything happening this summer. Full episode summary lives here: whatsupdunwoody.com/podcast-331

This week, we will hopefully not spend three hours of our lives talking about the three hour movie we just watched: 1993's The Postman. Starting to realize that Kevin Costner has his own Steven Seagal style-hero's arc with big-budget blockbusters nobody asked for where he's such a hero's hero, that if a hero got in trouble, and needed a hero, the hero would be Kevin Costner. Say it louder for the people in the back!“YOUR DAD IS A MAILMAN, AND SO ARE YOU!!!”Hesitant haberdasher becomes heroic, harangues in Hamlet, handles hefty hauls of hearsay, hating on Holnists, holding hope, hearing Hallelujah however he hears it! Meanie Pants militias! Shakespeare shakeoffs! All they eat in the future is soup! Body father lady throbbers! Abby the spermchaser! Good job, Mr. Sex… Man! Taking a peak in the freezy creek!

This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes hit the links with "Tin Cup", the sports comedy-drama starring Kevin Costner as the talented but self-destructive Roy McAvoy.What makes this episode interesting is that Butler isn't a golf fan at all, while Field is a huge fan of the sport. Despite coming at the film from very different perspectives, both Mikes really enjoy it. Costner's Roy is a charming screw up, a man whose ego is often matched only by his self-doubt. His reluctance to take his shot in life makes him a surprisingly relatable character, and Costner balances the comedy and drama of the role effortlessly.Field is also a big fan of how believable the golf feels throughout the film. Costner looks like a real golfer, plays like a real golfer, and helps sell the authenticity of the sport in a way many sports movies struggle to achieve.With memorable performances, strong chemistry, plenty of laughs, and a protagonist who is easy to root for despite his flaws, "Tin Cup" proves that you do not have to love golf to love a great golf movie.While the Mikes have a few small nitpicks, they agree that "Tin Cup" remains one of the most enjoyable sports films of the 1990s and a movie worth checking out whether you follow the sport or not.What is your favorite golf movie? Let us know in the comments below!

Nobody Gets Off This Staircase: Krissy, Nathan, and Pete Take On The UntouchablesWelcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies. Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell are joined by special guest Pete Wright—podcast impresario and pod boss at TruStory FM—to dig into Brian De Palma's The Untouchables (1987), where the real question isn't whether Al Capone goes down, but how far a straight-arrow fed is willing to bend to make it happen.The central tension here is a juicy one: Kevin Costner's deliberately bland Elliot Ness surrounded by Sean Connery's full-voltage Obi-Wan energy and Andy Garcia's silk-jacketed handsomeness. Is Costner's wooden earnestness a character choice or just… Costner being Costner? The gang has feelings. Meanwhile, Pete makes a compelling case that David Mamet is at his very best when someone else is in the director's chair—and that De Palma's camera (hello, split diopter) transforms stilted period dialogue into something genuinely cinematic.What keeps the conversation sparking is the sheer audacity of the filmmaking: an improvised staircase sequence that became the movie's most iconic scene, Armani-clad gangsters that make everyone want to buy overcoats for a city they don't live in, and a baby carriage that shows up twice in two consecutive episodes of the pod. The episode stays premise-level throughout, so you can jump in clean and still feel every gut punch.TruStory FM | Membership (early, ad-free access + bonus content): Join | Socials: Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | Learn more about the hosts: Neighborhood Comedy Theatre | Squishy StudiosIf you could only pick one scene from this movie to show someone who'd never seen it, which one would you choose—and why? ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.

Remember The Untouchables from 1987 starring Kevin Costner & Sean Connery? We remember it being the bee's knees. A real hotsy-totsy gangster picture where every problem could be solved with a quick quip & a Tommy Gun. Every scene is packed with tough mugs, and enough lead flying around Chicago to start a scrap metal shortage. We remember Robert De Niro's Al Capone being one scary palooka, and our good guys trying to clean up the town one wise guy at a time. But is this Prohibition-era classic still the cat's pajamas, or has it gone the way of bathtub gin and twenty-cent cigars? So grab your fedora, tell the coppers to take a hike, and join us as we revisit The Untouchables to find out if this old-time gangster flick still packs a wallop.

We are BACK in New York City with the unapologetic, hilarious, and totally unfiltered Big Brother bombshell GinaMarie Zimmerman—and from the second she walks in, it's chaos, laughter, and jaw-dropping confessions. We kick things off with our signature banter—SnowWhite90210, couture life, and a wild baptism story that somehow leaves Pol' with the accidental name “Rafi.” Yes… wrong house, wrong priest, wrong name—and we're already spiraling. Enter GinaMarie: blonde, bold, and zero filter. From Staten Island roots to modeling school dreams (yes, Barbizon!), she takes us through her journey into reality TV—and reveals the REAL secret to getting cast: stop trying and just be unapologetically YOU. RUNWAY RUNDOWN: We detour into couture, pageants, and iconic fashion moments while GinaMarie gushes over Pol's designs and red carpet looks. Then things heat up… She spills on being an extra on The Sopranos alongside a young Michael B. Jordan (yes, before the Oscar glow-up), working with Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd—and confirms Paul Rudd is EVEN HOTTER in person. Meanwhile, we break down which celebrities actually have that off-camera “electric chemistry” (Kevin Costner = shocking obsession). HAUTE TOPICS: From reality TV psych tests (“if you pass, you don't get cast”) to behind-the-scenes Big Brother secrets—rats in a maze, cameras moving, paranoia, hookups, and jury betrayal—GinaMarie tells it ALL. Including her biggest regret: not managing the jury… and maybe having a “big mouth.” Then… everything shifts. ARMENIAN COFFEE READING: Pol reads GinaMarie's cup and hits deep. Like… tears-on-the-mic deep. He calls out her lack of emotional “anchoring,” the grief of losing her boyfriend, and the pressure of being misunderstood from her past. She opens up about being judged, wanting redemption, and feeling like she hasn't fully stepped into her purpose—yet. And then—BOOM—a prediction:

Pop culture chaos, NASA math, and one extremely suspicious "Not a Lesbian" bumper sticker collide in this hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt episode of Put Your Books Down.     Natalie and Angela dive into Hidden Figures and unpack why this powerful film hits so much harder than your average space movie. From NASA history and civil rights to Kevin Costner discourse and accidental feminist manifestos, the hosts balance humorous commentary with real conversations about racism, women's contributions, and the genius of the women behind America's space program.     Along the way, they debate whether Kevin Costner is secretly a rom-com actor, confess their confusion about Star Wars timelines, and give flowers to Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monáe for delivering unforgettable performances.     If you love TV & film analysis, shared personal stories, and unfiltered pop culture conversations, this episode belongs in your queue immediately.
