Kirk Douglas and Michael Douglas were the driving force behind bringing "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" to the stage and screen. Ken Kesey's popular novel is brought to life on the screen starring Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher. One of the greatest movies of the 1970's is highlighted in The Actors Room podcast hosted by Jeff Torowski.
Garrison filmmakers examine the question The team behind Ironbound Films leans into its religious roots. "We met at a Jewish sleepaway camp as kids - it's such a part of our identity," says Jeremy Newberger, one of three director/producers at the documentary film and commercial video office located at Garrison's Landing. "Part of the crisis du jour is that the far right and the far left are united in their hatred of Jews. We were taught to embrace our Judaism and love for Israel." Ironbound's most recent film, released this year, is Fiddler on the Moon, about Jewish astronauts. According to their cheeky marketing copy, which Newberger says was inspired by Mel Brooks' Spaceballs, the film "finally answers the question that has plagued scientists, theologians and comedians for millennia: Will Judaism survive in space?" Many cities, small and large, host Jewish film festivals; over the summer, the crew will screen the 30-minute documentary in Dayton, Ohio; Toronto; Rochester; Berkshire, Massachusetts; and Tampa. They also screen films for Jewish organizations, camps and foundations. At first, the trio, which includes Seth Kramer and Daniel Miller, tackled secular topics like climate change (The Anthropologist), talk show host Morton Downey Jr. (Evocateur) and dying languages (The Linguist), but a friend who worked for Major League Baseball suggested they cover the Israeli national baseball team, made up mostly of American Jews. Heading Home: The Tale of Team Israel led to a second film about the club's experience at the 2021 Olympics, Israel Swings for Gold. After completing Yung Punx, a doc about a band of 8- to 12-year-olds who headlined at the Warped Tour, Ironbound produced Blind Spot, an examination of antisemitism on college campuses. "We're all in our 50s, and there comes a time when you realize that you got away from your faith," says Newberger. "Doing the baseball film got us reconnected to the values and religion we grew up with. It hit us. We identified." Ironbound has filmed on nearly every continent (including on the Pacific Ocean island of Kiribati). Funding comes from business clients, angel investors and grants from the National Science Foundation. Now in production is a documentary about David "Mickey" Marcus, the only person buried at West Point who fought for a foreign country. David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime minister, handpicked Marcus to establish the nascent nation's army in 1948 during the war for independence. Killed by friendly fire, Marcus was the last fatality of the conflict before the United Nations implemented a truce between Israel and its neighbors. "When you think you've heard it all, you come across Mickey Marcus, who is an incredible but little-known figure," says Kramer. "On its own, the story is a winner: Before he went to Israel, he helped put mobster Lucky Luciano away, drafted surrender papers for Italy used for all the other Axis powers and helped define the term war crime for the Nuremberg trials." The film will investigate why Marcus' name recognition is limited and how the 1966 Hollywood biopic, Cast a Giant Shadow, starring Kirk Douglas, John Wayne and Frank Sinatra, flopped at the box office.

Eran jóvenes, divertidos y llenos de espíritu aventurero pero el tiempo pasa para todos y ya han cumplido 40 castañas. Este 7 de junio se cumplen 40 años del estreno de “Los Goonies” una de las películas más míticas de la década de los 80 que sigue contando con un montón de nostálgicos seguidores. En este episodio os contamos todo lo que sabemos sobre ella. Y siguiendo con los aniversarios, el pasado día 3 se ha celebrado el centenario del nacimiento de Tony Curtis al que hemos convertido por ese motivo en la estrella del “Sucedió una noche” de esta semana. Charlamos con José Luis García Berlanga, el hijo del gran Luis, que ha realizado un documental sobre su padre y en “Diligencia hacia el Oeste” tenemos un western con Kirk Douglas que se sale bastante de la norma: “Los valientes andan solos”.
In this nostalgic and laughter-filled episode, Dan and Keith sit down with Kirk Douglas—no, not the actor, but a local legend with a life story as dynamic as his name. Raised in Abington, Kirk shares his journey from playing every sport imaginable to becoming a standout lacrosse player. From getting banned from soccer for life to being transformed by Coach McCabe at Bridgton Academy, Kirk's path is full of surprising turns, lasting friendships, and lessons learned.Kirk reflects on the importance of community, the value of following your gut, and how he met his wife Judy in true rom-com fashion—on the train. Now living in Marshfield and vacationing in Vermont with their two kids, Kirk is a tattooed outdoorsman who spends his time hiking, biking, and playing men's league hockey. The guys also dive into dad jokes, the Hoover Dam, and Dan's sentimental goodbye to his Jeep. It's an episode packed with heart, humor, and a few nudges in the right direction.
Na Michiel Veenstra mag Ralf Verhoef - ook één derde van de Nederlandse Disney-podcast D-Tales - eens aanschuiven. Dit voorjaar kon ik nog met hen meegaan op groepsreis naar de drie Aziatische Disney Resorts. Dat blijkt een meerwaarde voor deze aflevering: we hebben het over een oude familiefilm, maar wel eentje met een stevige voetafdruk in zowel ‘onze' Disneyland Paris als in Tokyo DisneySea. De boot Nautilus uit Jules Verne's ‘20.000 Leagues Under the Sea' heeft een plekje in Discoveryland in Parijs en zelfs een heel gebied Mysterious Island ofte Vulcania in Tokio. We hebben het over de vrouwen van Kirk Douglas, over Imagineer Harper Goff die de spectaculaire decors bouwde en over de pax media's die Walt Disney sloot om deze peperdure film te kunnen draaien. Maar het gaat ook over atoomenergie, over de dandy in Kapitein Nemo en waarom Douglas hier zo hard op Popeye lijkt. Verder wijken we graag uit over de eventuele uitbreidingen van het Disneyland Park in Parijs, de Society of Explorers and Adventurers en uiteraard de Aziatische parken. Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads!

The Return (2024) delves into the emotional journey of Odysseus returning to Ithaca after his long absence in the Trojan War, finding his kindome in ruins, a strained relationship between him and Penelope and his son Telemachus, and the challenges of reintegrating into family life after years of war and separation.Which is the grandest telling of the classic poem?Find out!

In the 1960s, Natalie Wood was one of the world's leading actress, her star shining as bright as Elizabeth Taylor's. She'd been acting since she was a small child, appearing in movies like Miracle on 34th Street. She'd starred opposite James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause, and she'd been linked romantically to Warren Beatty, Michael Caine, Elvis Presley, and Dennis Hopper. And her husband, actor Robert Wagner, may have gotten away with killing her off of Catalina Island in 1981, during a weekend getaway the couple shared with none other than Christoper Walken.

Based on Mendoza's experiences during the Iraq War as a U.S. Navy SEAL, the film depicts an encounter he and his platoon experienced on November 19, 2006 in the wake of the Battle of Ramadi. To maintain historical accuracy, the film's material is exclusively taken from the testimonies of the platoon members, and is presented in real time. It stars an ensemble cast that includes D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai as Mendoza, alongside Will Poulter, Cosmo Jarvis, Kit Connor, Finn Bennett, Joseph Quinn, Charles Melton, Noah Centineo, and Michael Gandolfini. We then talk about 'Paths of Glory' a 1957 American anti-war film directed by Stanley Kubrick, from a screenplay he co-wrote with Calder Willingham and Jim Thompson. It is adapted from the 1935 novel of the same name by Humphrey Cobb, which was in turn was based on the Souain corporals affair during World War I. The film stars Kirk Douglas as Colonel Dax, the commanding officer of French soldiers who refuse to continue a suicidal attack, after which Dax defends them against charges of cowardice in a court-martial.

Recuerdo la primera vez que probé el Toyota Prius, allá en el lejano 2001… no me convenció. La idea me parecía interesante pero la ejecución fallida. Y ni mucho menos imagine que este coche cambiaria el mundo del automóvil tal y como lo ha hecho. Sin duda, y de lejos, el coche más influyente del Siglo XXI, por su técnica… y también por su marketing. Y que puede morir a manos de los SUV... La idea era buena: Para pasar de 0 km/h a, pongamos unos 50 km/h consumes energía. Y cuando tienes que parar, por ejemplo, en un semáforo, esa energía la “tiras” en forma de calor a la atmósfera… en vez de aprovecharla para producir electricidad que luego te ayuda a mover el coche. Leí la información técnica de la marca y pensé “¡qué gran idea!” Luego bajé a probar el coche y lo primero que pensé fue, ¿un híbrido tiene se ser feo? Y es que os recuerdo que los primeros híbridos, todos japoneses, como por ejemplo el Honda Insight aparecido muy poco después, estéticamente estaban cortados por el mismo patrón. Y luego fui a probarlo… lo primero chocante, que ahora no le es tanto, es que dabas al contacto y el motor térmico no arrancaba… acelerabas suave y el coche se movía en silencio y a las pocas decenas de metros o antes si acelerabas más arrancaba el motor. Era un coche torpe, pues el motor de gasolina ofrecía poco más de 70 CV y los 45 CV extras del motor eléctrico no siempre estaban disponibles… esto para un coche que se acercaba a los 1.300 kg, era poca cosa. También chocaba que no se “sincronizaban” las revoluciones del motor térmico, que solo las intuías o oído, con la velocidad, fruto del cambio CVT y de la ayuda eléctrica. Había que tomarse las cosas con calma. El coche era amplio, silencioso, confortable, pero anodino… nada seductor… algo que sucede en muchos Toyota, pero más en este. Pero todo cambiaba cuando observabas los consumos, sobre todo en ciudad: ¡Eran extraordinariamente bajos. En 2003 llega la segunda generación supuso un paso adelante enorme. Desde luego en estética, pero también en eficiencia, pues se anunciaba que era capaz de recorrer 35,5 km por litro… una cifra optimista, pero lo cierto es que mejoraba en mucho al anterior. Confieso que al volante mis impresiones cambiaron y pensé “pues me temo que esto de la hibridación ha llegado para quedare… este coche va muy bien”. Y así era. Y además se convirtió en la viva imagen del ecologismo lo cual le convirtió en… … una estrella de Hollywood. California es la cuna del cine occidental y uno de los estados históricamente con normas más estrictas en lo que a emisiones se refiere. Y de pronto, el Prius se convirtió en un coche símbolo del ecologismo y todos los famosos y estrellas de cine que querían presumir de ecologistas, tenían que conducir uno. No puedo citar todos, pero no me resisto a incluir una pequeña lista… por que os aseguro que es pequeña: Alicia Silverstone, Billy Crystal, Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Harrison Ford, Jack Nicholson, Kirk Douglas, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robin Williams, Salma Hayek, Susan Sarandon, Tom Hanks y Will Ferrell, entre otros muchos… una verdadera constelación de estrellas. La tercera generación el Prius aparece en 2009 y en realidad era una puesta al día de la anterior… pero ¿solo eso? Pues no, porque con ello llegó la segunda revolución de los híbridos. En 2012 se lanza el híbrido enchufable que yo probé a primeros del año siguiente. Lo tuve una semana. En esos tiempos trabajaba a unos 15 kilómetros de mi casa. Lo use para ir y venir, para darme algún paseo que otro por la sierra y un viajecito de fin de semana de unos 400 km de ida y vuelta. En total unos 800 km. Lo enchufaba cada día y esa semana, todo incluido, gasté… ¡unos 20 litros de gasolina! Una media de menos de 3 litros… y es que gran parte de los recorridos los hacia sin que el motor térmico llegase a arrancar. La cuarta generación se lanza en 2015 y ofrece una gran cantidad de mejoras, pero no en su sistema de hibridación, sino en el resto del coche. Se mejora la rigidez, la aerodinámica, se baja el centro de gravedad y se modifica la suspensión sobre todo la trasera, para hacer del Prius un coche más agradable de conducir. Lo cierto es que la hibridación del Prius ya si iba extendiendo a toda la gama de Toyota hasta el punto de que muchos decían si existiendo, por ejemplo, un Corolla Híbrido, el Prius tenía sentido… Pues de eso, los españoles, no nos vamos a enterar. ¿Por qué? La Quinta generación del Prius es un salto de gigante, solo nos basta ver su estética. Es una declaración de intenciones de que el Prius quiere tener identidad propia. Pero al menos de momento, no llegará a España. ¿Cuál es el motivo? Resulta cuando menos curioso que en coche tan innovador y tan rupturista se vea perjudicado, hasta desparecer en algunos mercados, por otra nueva moda… ¡lo has adivinado! ¡Los SUV! Una pena porque el nuevo híbrido, en la línea estética marcada por el eléctrico con nombre de agente secreto bZ4X, desde luego es algo muy diferente, por fuera y por dentro. Es un modelo que pretende tener unas ciertas cualidades incluso deportivas, con una potencia total de 223 CV y que puede montar un techo con placas solares… ideal para nuestro mercado, pero insisto no vendrá a España… al menos de momento. Conclusión. Venga o no a España esta última generación, e incluso aunque desapareciese por completo de la gama Toyota en todo el Mundo, el Toyota Prius ha marcado un verdadero cambio. No solo yo, nadie lo vio venir, nadie pensó en el comienzo de los años 2000 que en 2025 uno de cada tres coches vendidos en Europa iba a ser híbrido, en España casi uno de cada dos. Nadie lo vio venir. Y tal como están las cosas, creo que ese porcentaje en vez de bajar, a favor de los eléctricos, va a subir… y todo comenzó con el primer Prius, bastante feote, que no me acabó de convencer… pero que inicio un nuevo camino. Coche del día. En un vídeo sobre futuros clásicos dije que el primer Prius se podría convertir en un clásico… tiene en contra su elevada producción, pero a su favor ser un coche que casi nadie está conservando y que, como os he dicho, cambio el Mundo.

"IT'S FATAL: WHAT IS FILM NOIR?" (PART III) (080) 3/24/2025 Welcome to the third and final installment of our series on Film Noir. As we have previously discussed the technical elements of noir and met the typical character's of noir, we will now take a look at the creative aspects of the genre that help create that special brand of dark, sexy, deadly movies. We'll discuss dialogue, and clever devices like voice overs, flashbacks, and dream sequences that enhance these dark, moody films. We'll also look at the fatalistic themes that reigned supreme throughout the genre.

EPISODE 78 - “FILM NOIR - Part 1 - WHAT IS NOIR?” - 3/10/2025 Have you ever wondered what exactly is film noir? TCM's EDDIE MULLER describes it this way: “Film Noir is all about treachery, deceit, and paranoia. You're never quite sure what is going on, who you can trust, or what dreadful pitfall waits around the corner.” This dark and twisted film genre popped up after WWII as a quiet cynicism began to creep into the national consciousness. In film noir, there is always an underbelly of darkness that comes out to play. And within the darkness, the shadows, and the neon lights, lie many stories of crime, dishonesty, adultery, murder, and mayhem. This week, we present the first in a special three-part series that delves into the darkest of genres where crooked cops, gangsters, torch singers, barflies, and other seedy character's live, love and kill. Join us as we discuss Film Noir! SHOW NOTES: Sources: Film Noir (2017), by Alian Silver & James Ursini; Into the Darkness: The Hidden World of Film Noir 1941-1959 (2016), by Mark A.

We challenge you to hear the title of this movie without the synth riff of a massive-haired 80s rock anthem popping into your head... Sorry, you'll be humming that all day now. Try blocking it out by listening to our examination of Don Taylor's 1980 sci-fi war fantasy, in which a U.S. aircraft carrier captained by Kirk Douglas is whisked through a James Bond title sequence into the past – the eve of the attack on Pearl Harbor, to be precise. Starring the U.S.S. Nimitz, lots of planes, more planes, and a cute dog... is this a forgotten gem of a movie that deserves to be restored to its place in film history? Or is it a waterlogged floater that deserves to be flushed?! Find out!

"MARY BETH HUGHES - CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH" - 3/03/2025 For those of you who don't know the charms of MARY BETH HUGHES, when she was under contract at MGM, she was dubbed "the poor man's LANA TURNER." It was a rather unfair assessment since MGM gave Lana all the plum roles, and Mary Beth got her hand-me-downs. But still, Mary Beth had great comic chops, and no one played bitchy, hard-boiled blondes as well as she. Despite her beauty and talent, she never managed to get out of B-pictures. She did have small parts in great films like The Women (1939) and The Ox-Bow Incident (1942). She played the good girl as often as she played the bad girl, but when she played bad....you were in for a treat. Her pouty lips, snappy dialogue, and petulant attitude lit up many a lackluster production. This week, we celebrate her as our Star of the Month.

We follow up Ben-Hur with another Hollywood epic, 1960's Spartacus directed by Stanley Kubrick. While set in the era of the Roman Republic, the film obliquely tackles many subjects of its era including McCarthyism, communist revolution, and the legacy of slavery. With stand-out performances by Kirk Douglas, Laurence Olivier, and Peter Ustinov, Spartacus delivers an entertaining spectacle whose legacy continued to influence films like Gladiator decades later.

Tough Guys was a Phelps family household favourite in the late 1980's and this week we take a look back at a movie long since forgotten. Tough Guys brought together two Hollywood legends, Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster, marking their seventh on-screen collaboration and injecting star power into this comedy crime caper. Directed by Jeff Kanew, who had worked with Douglas on Eddie Macon's Run, the film aimed to blend comedy and nostalgia with action. Set against the backdrop of the rapidly changing 1980s, the production team leaned into the contrast between the golden age of Hollywood and the modern era, using this as a thematic anchor. Filming primarily took place in Los Angeles, utilizing both urban settings and iconic locations to underscore the characters' struggle to adapt to contemporary life. The film was produced by Touchstone Pictures, a subsidiary of Disney, which aimed to target a slightly more mature audience with its blend of lighthearted humor and action. Douglas and Lancaster, already familiar with each other's rhythms and dynamics, brought a natural chemistry to their roles, making their performances one of the film's standout elements. Composer James Newton Howard provided a score that balanced upbeat, jazzy tunes with more sentimental pieces to reflect the characters' journey. This movie was a fond farewell to the screen partnership of Douglas and Lancaster, celebrating their enduring legacy in cinema.

Struggling to adjust to the modern world of the 1980s, the duo quickly realise that society has moved on without them, and their old-school ways no longer fit in. Despite their attempts to go straight, the allure of one final heist proves irresistible as they plot to steal the same train they hijacked decades ago. Meanwhile, a relentless parole officer and their old nemesis, now a retired police officer, are hot on their trail. thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback

EPISODE 66 - “WHEN CLASSIC FILM'S SUPPORTING ACTORS STEAL THE SHOW” - 12/16/2024 There is nothing quite like watching a film when suddenly a supporting character comes in and walks away with the film. (Think THELMA RITTER, S.Z. SAKALL, or GALE SONDERGAARD in almost every one of their films!) This week we are focusing on some of our favorite supporting charters who come in and snatch that scene right about from under the big stars. From JOANNA BARNES' Gloria Upson declaring, “It was just ghastly!” in “Auntie Mame” to the impassioned monologue about love that BEAH RICHARDS delivers to SPENCER TRACY in “Guess Who's Coming To Dinner,” we take a fun look at these powerful performances that we're still talking about today.

Front Row Classics is taking a look at one of greatest Hollywood films about Hollywood ever made. Brandon welcomes back April Clemmer to discuss 1952's The Bad and the Beautiful. Vincente Minnelli's glamourous and cynical take on the movie business still packs a punch today. Brandon and April consider the performances of Lana Turner and Kirk Douglas as two of the best performances in their careers. They also discuss the amazing supporting cast including Walter Pidgeon, Dick Powell, Gilbert Roland and Gloria Grahame (in one of the shortest Oscar winning performances on record).
In Kuba aß er mit Che Guevara und den Castro-Brüdern zu Abend, in Südafrika traf er Nelson Mandela, in Indien Indira Gandhi. Jack Lemmon zeichnete ihn, dafür zeichnete er Jack Lemmon. Billy Wilder war ein Weggefährte, Kirk Douglas versuchte erfolglos, ihm eine Rolle abzuluchsen, Tom Hanks findet ihn super, Robin Williams schwärmte von ihm als Kollegen und Mensch. Die Aufzählung ließe sich fortsetzen, denn der 1930 im damals ostpreußischen Tilsit geborene Armin Mueller-Stahl traf in mehr als neun Lebensjahrzehnten zahllose interessante Menschen. Bei der Zuordnung seiner Berufsbezeichnung stoßen wir schon auf die nächste Aufzählung: Weltbekannt wurde er als Schauspieler, erst in der DDR, später auch in der Bundesrepublik und noch ein bisschen später dann in den USA, was, wir wissen es, alles andere als selbstverständlich ist. Mueller-Stahl spielte, er schrieb und schon immer liebte er die Musik, neben seiner Frau Gabi die mutmaßlich zweite große Liebe seines Lebens. Auch wenn die Malerei jetzt ein wenig neidisch um die Ecke schaut, denn auch der frönt Armin Mueller-Stahl, lange schon, regelmäßig und mit anhaltendem Erfolg. So scheint es, als würden alle Begegnungen, Situationen und Talente um die Zeit im Leben dieses Menschen konkurrieren und umso schöner, dass wir uns nun auch ein bisschen davon nehmen dürfen.

We end #NOvember, where we watch movies with originally said "no" to, with QUENNIE, a 1987 TV Miniseries made by New World Television and, later, released by New World Video. An adaptation of a novel by Michael Korda which told the story of his real-life aunt, the actress Merle Oberon. Now, Korda's aunt may be real, but the story is, well, let's just say Michael had fun filling in the details. What true and what's not, we may never know, but we do our best to sort it out. The series starred Mia Sara, fresh from New World's APPRENTICE TO MURDER, as Queenie, and Kirk Douglas as a movie producer based on Korda's uncle Alexander. In a story that starts in India, travels to England and back again, Queenie goes from a young student to a exotic dancer to actress. She could have had more jobs, but, as it turns out, it's hard for pretty people to get jobs. It's also difficult for some people to smoke cigars or play a woodwind instrument, but easy for some to know the timing of their demise. There's a lot going on, but we dig deep into it anyway, because, well, it's #NOvember!

EPISODE 60 - "THELMA RITTER: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH" - 11/04/2024 There's a scene in the classic 1950 film All About Eve where Eve Harrington (ANNE BAXTER), a star-struck fan who has infiltrated the life of Broadway star Margo Channing (BETTE DAVIS), is telling the tragic story of her past to Margo and her friends. While Margo and company are drawn into the sad circumstances of Eve's life, Margo's acerbic dresser Birdie, played to perfection by the great THELMA RITTER, is not buying her sob story. After Eve finishes, Birdie mutters, "What a story! Everything but the bloodhounds snappin' at her rear end." This is probably the moment I fell in love with Ritter. With her heavy New York accent, diminutive size, working-class charm, and sarcastic zingers, she made a career of stealing scenes from big stars and making the most of her time on screen. She played characters wiser than most, and her characters certainly didn't suffer fools gladly. She is a cinematic treasure, and we celebrate her as our Star of the Month.

In 1996 a severe stroke nearly killed one of America's greatest actors, Kirk Douglas. Overnight this dynamic, seemingly ageless, icon of film was plunged into a terrifying new reality that he later admitted had him considering suicide. But it turned out that Douglas, in real life, was every bit as tough and relentless as the heroic characters he played on screen. And then Douglas did something even more heroic – he not only went public with his fight to regain health, he wrote a book about it. In this 2002 interview Douglas talks about his book My Stroke of Luck.
