Podcasts about The King of Comedy

Absolute Cinema: es geht um MARTIN SCORSESE. Der wurde letzten November 83. Das wollen wir feiern. Mit unserer ultimativen Top 10, kondensiert durch Eddie, Andi und Schröck, anhand einer jeweils persönlichen Bestenliste aus 10 Filmen. Also cruisen wir noch einmal mit dem TAXI DRIVER über die Memory Lane, mitten rein in den HEXENKESSEL oder die MEAN STREETS in Richtung KAP DER ANGST und SHUTTER ISLAND. Mit Zwischenstopp im CASINO, wo sich THE KING OF COMEDY auf seinen Auftritt für DIE ZEIT NACH MITTERNACHT und weitere anstrengende AFTER HOURS vorbereitet. Das Auto: randvoll mit den GANGS OF NEW YORK. Angefangen bei der Crew um THE IRISHMAN, gefolgt von den KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, abgerundet durch THE WOLF OF WALL STREET und sein Rudel von gierigen Nachwuchs-Spekulanten, die alle DIE FARBE DES GELDES riechen können. Alles GOODFELLAS – DREI JAHRZEHNTE IN DER MAFIA müssen sich ja schließlich auch irgendwie bezahlt machen, wenn schon ein AVIATOR mit seinem Geld WIE EIN WILDER STIER oder RAGING BULL um sich wirft. Doch fühlen wir uns deswegen DEPARTED – UNTER FEINDEN? Nicht im Geringsten. Viel mehr das Gegenteil davon. Und wir hoffen, es geht Euch auch so mit diesem kleinen, lauschigen Talk über einen der besten Regisseure unsere Gegenwart. In diesem Sinne: er lebe hoch und bleibt bitte alle so gesund wie gut drauf. It is what it is. Goodbye.

A Martin Scoresese film starring Robert De Niro and Jerry Lewis? Surely it's a winner. About comedy - again, let's go. But, it's not a funny movie - more of a dark comedy. De Niro wants to be a standup, while Jerry is the legendary late night talk-show host, De Niro's character is desperate to get on the show - what lengths will he go to? Find out on Fetch on your Hisense TV and then unpack it with Trevor and Stephen.

Still on the rebound after having my heart broken. (By the LA Fitness closing at Coldwater and Chandler) You basically need the shields from the Tim Burton Batman Batmobile in LA if you want your car to not be destroyed, broken into, vandalized, etc. I definitely go to Chipotle too much. I messed around with AI images and it blew my feeble mind. Mr Penis Powers came to town, and lead to a plethora of gallivanting. Seeing King Of Comedy in a theater was a whole different experience than I would have anticipated.

We knew it was coming, but a few years ago the passing of Jerry Lewis still caught me by surprise. I'm well aware he wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but I sure was a fan. In this quick, five-minute Pocket Sized Pep Talk, I'll remind you that Jerry was more than just a comedian—he was a trailblazer, an innovator, and a philanthropist who left an undeniable mark on the world.

“Shapes & Forms" There's nothing Sandra Bernhard can't do: she's an actor, a singer, a comic, a radio host, an author and a pioneer of the one-woman show and the list goes on. I was going to say that in many ways, Sandra Bernhard is the Shohei Ohtani of entertainment, but that's not totally accurate because she's been around longer, so the right way to say it is Shoehei Ohtani is the Sandra Bernhard of baseball. The Michigan-born, Arizona-raised Sandra Bernhard is nothing short of a cosmic force. She's been in over 40 movies like The King Of Comedy, Playing Mona Lisa and Zoolander and she's been in over fifty television shows like The Richard Pryor Show, Pee-Wee's Playhouse, Roseanne, Will and Grace, The Larry Sanders Show, Dr. Katz, Broad City, American Horror Story and the Sopranos. Her CV is packed with riches, so keep in mind this is just me sifting through the gold and it's really a partial list because there's so much. She's performed on Broadway, appeared on Letterman almost 30 times, put out a handful of great albums, and wrote three amazing books, including the essay collection Love, Love and Love. She's got a great run of shows on the West Coast as part of her Easy Listening tour, where she'll play her favorite songs as a kid. Then, under the Shapes& Forms banner she'll have a multi-night stand at Joe's Pub in New York City at the end of the month. Along with her Sandyland Squad Band, Bernhard will play new material and old favorites. www.sandrabernhard.com (www.sandrabernhard.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.bombshellradio.com (www.bombshellradio.com) Stereo Embers IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Ben and Rob get what they deserve for ‘Joker', Todd Phillips' 2019 character study smuggled into box-office history under a supervillains cape. Starring Joaquin Phoenix, Robert DeNiro, Zazie Beetz and Frances Conroy, ‘Joker' tells the story of mentally unwell and financially destitute Arthur Fleck and his journey to become a stand-up comedian; a journey that takes a terrifying wrong turn when Gotham repeatedly turns it back on his suffering. The film lacking an appearance from Batman didn't stop ‘Joker' delighting DC Comics fans as deeply as the critics; becoming the first R rated movie to cross the billion dollar mark at the box office.But how did this seventies morality tale get green-lit in the first place? What inspired Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix as they concocted this beautifully affecting film? Is this film just ripping off Scorcese's ‘King Of Comedy'? Does this entire film we it's existence to an advert for Suicide Squad? And if we browse the DSM-5 medical dictionary of mental illness, can we diagnose the Clown Prince Of Crime?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much MUCH more!PLUS!

You talkin' to me? No, NostalgiaCast is talking to you about Martin Scorsese's TAXI DRIVER, one of the most controversial films of the 1970s and still one of the most divisive films of its esteemed director's career.

From Godfather, Part II, to Raging Bull to Goodfellas to Meet The Parents to Killers of the Flower Moon, we go through all his great roles, and pick our favorites, most underrated, and most overrated films.

Barry Murphy is an Irish comedy legend. Not only was he one of the geniuses behind the brilliance of Après Match but as a member of Mr Trellis he founded The Comedy Cellar in Dublin in 1989 AND he was recognised as one of The 10 Kings Of Irish Comedy over the last twenty years by Hot Press. He is also the only comedian to have played at every Kilkenny Cat Laughs festival since it started in 1994. So yeah, it's fair to say his legendary status is justified. In this week's episode Barry chats to Gareth and Gary about his beginnings in the comedy scene and how it's changed, his fond memories of Apres Match and the lads get into it about shallow frying. Enjoy!Don't forget to send in your questions for Gaz & Gary to answer in series 3 to Food@GoLoudNow.com

When people think DeNiro and Scorsese, it's generally mob hits or boxing rings. But 1983's "The King of Comedy" is an often-overlooked exploration of television fame that shows just how funny, dark and thought-provoking the actor-director pair can be in any genre. Listener Charlie in L.A., who brought us "Boogie Nights," is back with another stellar commission that led to some interesting topics, including when it's OK to ask for an autograph, who the new acting royalty is in Hollywood, whether Sandra Bernhard helped or hurt the movie and when being agreeable becomes creepy. If you've never thought much of Jerry Lewis, wondered where Todd Phillips got his inspiration for "Joker" or wanted to hear Gene gush over early '80s fashion, this is the episode for you.

Rupert Pumpkin is back! This week, we are writing a sequel to Martin Scorsese's "The King of Comedy." Will the film answer whether the last film's climax took place within the protagonist's head? Will this be a legacy sequel or will we de-age Robert De Niro like "The Irishman" did? What's The Clash gotta do with all of this? Will Sam adopt Scorsese's four hour work days?

Martin Scorsese's Dark Comedy from 1983 was selected by the community after a close contest with the Cohen Brothers movie on the list. We talk Blindspots, performances, social implications and DeNiro, a lot. Todd Liebenow, Matthew Simpson and Nick Rehak have lots to say about this Scorsese flop that as acquired a patina of respect over the years. We also play a fast game of Lambpardy and discuss DeNiro and Scorsese apart from one another.

Neither The King Of Comedy nor I Love Trouble were met with strong box office or enthusiastic reviews on their initial releases - but one has fared a lot better since.1982's The King Of Comedy would be the last time Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese would unite for many years - and for a long time it was a project that appealed more to De Niro than Scorsese. Still, after a damp initial response, the film's reputation has grown. A lot.Not so with 1994's I Love Trouble, a rare movie star-driven summer film from Disney in the early 1990s. Julia Roberts starred, but didn't sign on the dotted line until he co-star was chosen. That'd be Nick Nolte, and it wouldn't be a particularly successful pairing...Stories of both movies are told in this episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

When you think of a man named Rupert Pupkin, your imagination automatically places that creepy stache that the legendary Robert De Niro sports in 1983's The King of Comedy. That's right, it's a Scorsese double feature. We talked about Casino last episode and now we move to a much arguably sadder and darker film. As I mention in the episode, this movie is the cringe of the initial tryouts of every American Idol season all wrapped into one film. The homie Spencer joins me in discussing this great film.

The dark reality behind the persona of one of America's most beloved public figures. Johnny's second wife Joanne, in 1960 On August 17, 1963, Carson, possibly feeling more secure professionally with more than a year under his belt at the new show, married his longtime girlfriend, Joanne Carson.  This despite years of fighting publicly, acrimonious vacations in which one of them left and went home early and numerous friends and acquaintances advising them not to tie the knot.  Even the ceremony and reception were odd.  Only a tiny number of participants witnessed the actual marriage, the couple's parents not even invited.  The reception included only a few more individuals and was held at Johnny's apartment, the guests mostly Tonight Show related staff like bandleader Skitch Henderson and producer Art Stark.  Johnny's third wife, Joanna Joanna Carson was a former fashion model who had spent much of her life in the rarified company of extremely wealthy, sophisticated, older men.  Her companion before Johnny was the CEO and chairman of the Hertz Rent a Car corporation.  Johnny, still essentially a scotch drinking steak and potatoes Midwesterner, began to acquire a more diverse outlook courtesy of his latest wife.  Completely uninterested up to that point in travel, he began his annual pilgrimage to the Wimbledon tennis championships, featured prominently on the NBC broadcast back to the US.  He typically followed that up with several weeks on the Cap D'Antibes along the French Riviera, enjoying the fact that he went mostly unrecognized.  Instead of hard liquor he began to temper his alcohol intake with a fine Bordeaux or Montrachet.  But one constant, despite a well appointed Bel Air residence on St. Cloud Road, the Carsons never threw parties and were rarely seen socially, their house again a secluded refuge to escape from public exposure. Johnny and frequent guest, Angie Dickinson It was hard to feel sorry for Carson, whose womanizing was so blatant that when Joanna convened a meeting in her home of the women's Beverly Hills charity that she participated in, Johnny would single out at least one of the participants and strongly come on to them.  Upon signing the divorce papers, Johnny turned to his now ex-wife and said, “What I'll miss most is not being able to talk to you.”  Carson certainly made good on his word, never speaking with Joanna Carson again. Henry Bushkin, in 2014, discussing his relationship with Johnny Carson Joan Rivers got her big break on the Tonight Show, but ultimately was exiled Joan Rivers also was exiled when, in 1987, she accepted an offer from Fox Television to host a late night talk show that would compete with Johnny.  Rivers was already frustrated by NBC's refusal to both offer her a contract as Johnny's replacement host, and especially that she was not on an NBC list of stars to even be considered when and if Johnny retired.  Although other hosts and comedians attempted to compete with Johnny and still remained in Carson's good graces, most notably Joey Bishop, Joan Rivers made the unforgivable sin of negotiating with Fox, putting together her show and never even telling Johnny about it in advance.  Her eleventh hour attempt to reach out to him on the eve of the program was rejected, assistants told that he would not take her call at any time in the future.  NBC President Fred Silverman, 1979If Silverman thought confronting Johnny publicly and even implying that his show was somehow deficient were effective negotiating tools, he was sorely mistaken.  Having never formally even met Carson as network president, Silverman did so on March 17, 1979.  Carson not only refused to work additional hours, he also told Silverman that he wanted off the show as soon as possible.  Although Silverman did remind him at this meeting that he had a contract through 1981, Carson publicly announced that he would be leaving the show on September 30, 1979, the seventeenth anniversary of the program.  Whether this was his actual intent, a negotiating ploy or merely a gesture designed to put an arrogant egotistical network executive in his place, the negotiations dragged on into May of 1980.  When they concluded, Johnny Carson had extracted the most favorable contract in the history of network television.   Johnny and his fourth wife, Alexis Maas Following his retirement, Johnny Carson became even more reclusive, spending most of his time behind the gates of his massive Malibu mansion that overlooked Point Dume.  He spent a great deal of time on his private tennis court, especially built for him by NBC, one of the few of its kind in the vicinity.  His only companion, his fourth wife, who he married in 1987, Alexis Maas, a stunning blue eyed blonde he met while she was walking by his other Malibu beach house, which he eventually sold to John McEnroe.

Humor in live performance has been around since the beginning of time. In the 1800s this kind of entertainment mostly showed up as live theater and minstrel shows filled with skits, costumes, singing, dancing, and yes, blackface. But performer Charley Case dared to do things differently. Without costume or props Charley Case simply stood there telling jokes and funny stories in the repeated cadence of a set-up, filler, and punchline - inventing what we now know as stand-up comedy.
