Podcast appearances and mentions of Lee Thompson

Was 10 to Midnight unfairly dismissed as exploitation trash, or is there more to this gritty Cannon Films cult classic than its reputation suggests?This week on Video Villa, we're joined by our special guest Joe from Movie Dumpster to take a fresh look at 10 to Midnight (1983), directed by J. Lee Thompson and starring the legendary Charles Bronson.Often labeled a “sleaze fest” upon its release, 10 to Midnight was criticized for its graphic violence, lurid subject matter, and exploitative tone. Many critics dismissed it as pure trash, while others have since embraced it as a fascinating blend of police thriller, slasher film, and Cannon Films excess. But has time been kind to this controversial cult favorite?Have you seen 10 to Midnight? Do you think it's an underrated thriller, or does its sleazy reputation still hold up?Follow Us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/video_villa_entertainmentTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@videovillaentmtFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086204155260&mibextid=LQQJ4dWebsite: https://www.videovillaentertainment.com

After a career filled with punching and kicking, Chuck Norris finally was taken down. We celebrate his career, while still remembering that he was not a perfect person, and that his politics were regretably FAR removed from our own. Still though, he brought us a lot of entertainment over the years, and at least one of the movies we chose for the podcast reminded us of just how entertaining he COULD be in the hands of the right director. We start off with the disappointing "Firewalker" from 1986. In an attempt to cash in on the success of movies like "Romancing the Stone" they team Chuck up with the legendary Louis Gossett Jr. and Melody Anderson. Despite his long career of true masterpieces, director J. Lee Thompson was probably NOT the right choice for this one. There were highlights but the movie relied on humor that largely fell flat and a budget that was insufficient to sell the idea of globetrotting adventurers. Our second movie REALLY blew us away, 1991's "The Hitman" directed by his brother Aaron Norris. This is a rough mob story with a standout performance by Michael Parks as the villain. By turns violent and then funny, with moments of humanity included for good measure, this is a real winner!Send us your thoughts on the show and recommendations for future episodes to flickersfrom@yahoo.com or flickersfrom@gmail.com.

Ep. 338: Jessica Kiang on Locarno 2025: The Best of the Postwar British Retrospective + Becoming Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. This week I'm reporting from the Locarno film festival, which every year has an outstanding retrospective that's a parallel essential to the premieres of new films.

Lee Thompson), It Always Rains on Sundays (1947, Robert Hamer), Turn the Key Softly (1953, Jack Lee), To Be a Woman (1951, Jill Craigie), The Elephant Never Forgets (1953, John Krish), Train of Events (1949, Sidney Cole, Charles Crichton, Basil Dearden), Passport to Pimlico (1949, Henry Cornelius), The Happiest Days of Your Life (1950, Frank Launder), Time Without Pity (1957, Joseph Losey), and Never Let Go (1960, John Guillermin).

Today, Matt & Todd are joined by guest Gabe Crate to explore the original Planet of the Apes saga one last time (sorta, the movies, anyway).Released in 1973, Battle for the Planet of the Apes is the fifth and final film in the series, directed by J. Lee Thompson (who also helmed Conquest) and starring:Roddy McDowall as CaesarClaude Akins as AldoNatalie Trundy as LisaAustin Stoker as (Bruce) MacDonaldWhit Bissell Award winners Paul Williams (as Virgil) and Lew Ayres (as Mandemus)Arguably the weakest entry in the franchise, with the least new ground to cover—but also, maybe, the most approachable. On one hand, it feels like an extended TV episode designed to tie up loose ends for the franchise faithful. On the other, it's a well-directed, well-acted film with solid set pieces and the most hopeful ending of the series.Sure, the ideas and budget may have been running low, but the performances pull you in and keep you there—right up to the confusing finale. Maybe it deserved better. But this is what we got, and honestly? It's an awful lot of fun.The fifth and final end to the story. Once and for all. No bombs. No bullets. Good night, nurse.That is… except for the TV series. And the animated series.So maybe don't lose your tack and saddle just yet.Follow Matt:Matt has over 100+ on LetterboxdYou can reach out on Bluesky:@MovieMattSirois Terrible movies often find him, even under under the alias Marcus at ⁠⁠⁠Movie Asylum of the Weird, Bad and Wonderful.Follow who we follow:⁠⁠⁠Once Upon a Geek⁠⁠⁠ and  ⁠⁠⁠The Fade Out Podcast⁠

Today, Matt and Todd tackle the fourth entry in the original Planet of the Apes saga: Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972), directed by J. Lee Thompson. Starring:Roddy McDowall as CaesarDon Murray as BreckRicardo Montalbán as ArmandoNatalie Trundy as LisaHari Rhodes as MacDonaldSevern Darden as KolpThe first film said it all—right? The second one blew it all up—done and done. The third swept away anyone left from the second—this has to be the end...Except it's not.Conquest brings the action roaring back (see Beneath), but with a chaotic crescendo that might just be the most memorable ending of the entire series. Seriously.You might think it has nowhere left to go.What more is there to explore in this ape-human dynamic? This film knows that you already know the stakes. What you get here is a raw, streamlined rebellion tale with serious sci-fi edge and a cathartic payoff.It's arguably the most approachable film in the franchise. Accessible even if you haven't seen the others... though you really should.We hope you enjoy the uprising as much as we did.Matt reviews and ranks more movies including newer ones at ⁠Letterboxd⁠You can find out what he's following on Bluesky @MovieMattSirois.bsky.socialCheck out favorites of what we follow, at: ⁠⁠⁠Once Upon a Geek⁠⁠⁠⁠ and  ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Fade Out Podcast⁠⁠ As Marcus he reviews all sorts of films but unlike here, they often they range from bad, worse, or terrible at the ⁠⁠⁠⁠MovieAsylum of the Weird, Bad and Wonderful⁠.

On Mission: Impossible weekend, it seemed right for Have You Ever Seen to feature a flick all about an impossible mission to climb a cliff, get inside a Greek island fortress and blow up some enormous German blasters. Our 667th episode talks about that trek, but also about revenge and wartime honour. Gregory Peck, Anthony Quinn and David Niven lead a fine cast in The Guns Of Navarone, as they and their team try to save the lives of 2000 men. The actors are skillfully guided with tension and even humour by J. Lee Thompson, who was on the roll of his life directing Cape Fear the year after he made this Oscar-winning WWII film. So to celebrate America's Memorial Day, enjoy Ryan's monologue about The Magnificent Six killing a whole whack of Nazis. Well, Actually: at the 38:30 mark, "then became a Russian citizen" should have been "then became a BRITISH citizen". Also, David Niven was one of the Oscar hosts in 1974 when he was onstage during the streaker's appearance (Elizabeth Taylor actually presented Best Picture).

Politically, they critique the current administration's “clumsy and unnecessary” policies, like tariffs, and express frustration with media dynamics and leadership, urging listeners to stay engaged. Mark and Jason share stories of overcoming career challenges in St. Louis, emphasizing resilience and authentic relationships.

It's a week for tough cops who chafe under the soft libertarian justice system of modern democracy, dammit! And no cop is tougher than Maurizio Merli. Unless it's Charles Bronson, obviously. Bryce swings by to shoot the breeze and a whole heap of scumbag criminals, as we discuss 10 to Midnight (1983), directed by J. Lee Thompson, followed by Rome, Armed to the Teeth (1976), directed by Umberto Lenzi. We don't think you can really spoil Rome, Armed to the Teeth, which only has a passing acquaintance with its own plot, but we will call out Spoiler Territory for 10 to Midnight. If you want to skip ahead from that point, you can rejoin the conversation at the 1:07:38 mark to avoid spoilers. Want to get in touch?

In this gripping episode, Stuart and Jacob tackle the intense world of "Cape Fear," comparing the original 1962 film directed by J. Lee Thompson with Martin Scorsese's 1991 remake. They dig deep into the chilling narratives of revenge and obsession, exploring the contrasting portrayals of Max Cady by Robert Mitchum and Robert De Niro. What makes De Niro's performance so unpredictable, like a more deranged Daffy Duck? How do the character arcs of Sam Bowden differ between the two films given their respective actors? And how can the 1991 version push the boundaries of horror and suspense in ways that the original could only hint at?Also featured in this episode are diatribes about "Civilization 7", the correct amount of references to "The Simpsons", a love for Joe Don Baker, and a game that Jacob slapped together in an afternoon and forces Stuart to play.

Can a war film also be a comfort film? This month we're exploring that question. First up this week, special guest Martin Harries of Film Vs. Film Podcast joins us to discuss one of his favorite comfort picks and a perennial rewatch around the holidays with family, The Guns of Navarone. We talk about the paradox of comforting war films; Carl Foreman's script, which placed mythmaking far above historical fact; J. Lee Thompson's directing style, which balanced blockbuster action sequences with philosophical and moral quandaries; the stellar cast, featuring David Niven, Anthony Quinn, and Gregory Peck in a surprisingly morally grey role; and we make connections between The Guns of Navarone and the many films that borrowed from its formula, including The Dirty Dozen, Star Wars, the James Bond films, and Guardians of the Galaxy. Join our team of specialized film analysts and come on a mission with us!

Hosts Josh and Jamie and special returning guest Cameron Fetter (of Podcast About List) continue our discussion of one of the most enduring science-fiction concepts and depressing pop studio franchises of all time THE PLANET OF THE APES with a double feature of arguably the two best sequels. Don Taylor's ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES (1971) which takes the franchise in a fun fish-out-of-water time travel adventure movie direction until its suddenly an incredibly upsetting 70s political thriller + J. Lee Thompson's more action-heavy entry CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (1972) which begins as a retro Orwellian sci-fi dystopia and eventually turns into a fiery armed ape prison uprising.

Our 6th of 7 episodes during this Revenge Month takes us to America's Deep South as we talk about Robert Mitchum making Gregory Peck's life a living hell in Cape Fear. What's more, the convicted rapist threatens the lawyer's family in some of the worst way's a hateful person can. "Rape" is never spoken in the dialogue, but it's a constant theme. Mitchum plays such a clever, sadistic villain. He's one of the most-sinister of anyone on AFI's Heroes & Villains list and he could have ranked even higher on that list than he did. We also talked a lot about the dubious morality in Martin Scorsese's flashy 1991 remake, but the focus of this show is on J. Lee Thompson's tense original. So, counsellors, take dangerous matters into your own hands as this 585th edition of Have You Ever Seen pokes a toe in the river before going off the deep end into Cape Fear. For The Record: the actual Cape Fear is in North Carolina. Also, while Robert De Niro is certainly covered in tattoos in the 1991 version, he doesn't have the "love/hate" knuckle tattoos that Mitchum has in The Night Of The Hunter (and that Radio Raheem also has as knuckle rings in Do The Right Thing).

What do you do when you catch a bad case of the Firewalker? Oh, wait! This might be for something else. This is all about gold! There is a mix of Aztec, Mayan, Egyptian and Apache gold all in one area! If that seems strange and improbable, maybe that's the Firewalker talking! Loveable and adventurous scamps, Max Donigan (Chuck Norris) and Leo Porter (Louis Gossett Jr.) team up with Patricia Goodwin (Melody Anderson) to follow a magical dagger and her visions to that sweet, sweet cave of gold. When things seem down, Corky Taylor (John Rhys-Davies) shows up! Is this a bit of DeJa'Vu? YES! Yes it is! RTS chills with Tall Eagle (Will Sampson) and wonders if any of that promised treasure will come his way. Jeremy, Collin and La-Mar summon ancestral supernatural powers with El Coyote (Sonny Landham). Between the numerous bar stops and jungle runs, director J. Lee Thompson will get us to that gold! At least we hope. 

Lee Thompson is the co-founder and CMO of Flash Pack, a travel brand dedicated to small group adventures rooted in friendship that he founded with his now wife and CEO, Radha Vyas. Lee's career merged with his passion for adventure as a self-employed photojournalist. He met Radha on a chance first date between gigs, and they immediately started planning what became Flash Pack. By 2016, they were married, had both quit their jobs, and were starting their new adventure as business owners. Initially, they successfully bootstrapped their business, but COVID and closed borders had other ideas. The pandemic was in full swing, they had a one-year-old baby, all of their investors wanted refunds, and by November 2020, they had filed for bankruptcy and lost everything. Thanks to teamwork, creative problem-solving, and dedication, Lee and Radha were able to relaunch in November 2021 and are in a better place today than ever before. Now, he is using the storytelling skills he learned through photojournalism to tell the story of Flash Pack, a story of friendship.In this episode, Alan and Lee discuss who Flash Pack is for, the unique experiences they offer their customers, and why they are all in on marketing friendship. Flash Pack is a London-based start-up, but with a large American user base, they are beginning the transition to become a US-based company with several existing US-based employees and an upcoming family move to the States. They have over 75 employees in 12 different countries, and revenue is higher than it ever was pre-pandemic. Lee says business is booming due to an increase in loneliness and awareness of the damage it can do. That is why all Flash Pack marketing is centered around friendship forged through adventure.In this episode, you'll learn:How Lee's photojournalism skills serve him as a CMOThe solo travel market and why Flash Pack marketing is all friendship-basedWhat Lee has learned from failure and predicts for the future of marketingKey Highlights:[01:45] Historic adventures in photojournalism[04:40] The art of storytelling through photos and marketing efforts[05:25] From the first date to founding a company[07:40] Building a life together is the greatest adventure.[09:00] What is a Flash Pack?[11:35] Everything was great until COVID hit.[15:45] Starting a Business: Part 2[18:40] The market for solo travel[21:00] Friendship forged through adventure[21:55] Flash Pack across the Pond[23:55] Generating buzz about friendship on the streets of New York[27:15] The next big thing to target is isolation on the streets of New York.[28:55] Learning how to fail early on[30:00] Advice to his younger self[32:05] Marketing is not just the marketer's job.[34:20] User-generated content[35:55] The opportunity for diversity and the threat of getting lazyLooking for more?Visit our website for the full show notes, links to resources mentioned in this episode, and ways to connect with the guest!

Special guest Seth Goodkind joins us to discuss the iconic Charles Bronson, specifically the time in his career when he made movies for Golan/Globus that were directed by J. Lee Thompson. It wasn't exactly the prime of his career...or was it? No. 10 TO MIDNIGHT (1983, J. Lee Thompson) MURPHY'S LAW (1986, J. Lee Thompson) KINJITE: FORBIDDEN SUBJECTS (1989, J. Lee Thompson)

I think Eye of the Devil is an undercard for 1966In the USA you had William Shatner starring in 'Incubus' and John Saxon And Dennis Hopper in 'Queen of Blood'In Spain you had Jess Franco's 'The Diabolical Dr Z'In Italy Mario Bava put out 'Kill, Baby Kill'In Japan 'Daimajin' was released as well as 'Irazumi'And in the UK you had Hammer Horror's 'Plague of the Zombies', "The Witches' and 'Dracula Prince of Darkness'All I think stronger titles than 'Eye of the Devil'But there is no denying there is something magical about it. I just can't put my finger on it.J. Lee Thompson directed Cape Fear in 1962, Happy Birthday to Me in 1981 plus a couple of Planet of the Apes movies as part of his genre sweep during his career. Eye of the Devil is often overlooked which is a real shame. When I asked the fantastic satanic doo-woppers TWIN TEMPLE to pick a movie to cover for this show, imagine my delight when they came back with that very choice. YES! Today we are joined by singer Alexandra Jones and her guitarist husband Zach. That's right! It's the time of the Temple. Right here, right now.TWIN TEMPLE Spotify Instagram Facebook

In 1976 school friends Mike Barson and Lee Thompson formed a band called the North London Invaders, roping in other friends of theirs Chris Foreman, John Hasler and Cathal Smyth to play rock n roll and soul songs. The line-up was a tumultuous one and only solidified two years later when Hasler was eventually replaced on drums by Daniel Woodgate, Mark Bedford replacing Smyth on bass with Smyth becoming a brass player, dancer and singer and lead singer Graham McPherson aka Suggs finally decided to commit rather than watch Chelsea play football. They also adopted a new name, Madness, after a song by ska/reggae legend Prince Buster. Thus was born a band that became one of the most prominent bands of the late 1970s and early 1980s two-tone ska revival. Madness have had 16 singles reach the UK top ten and between 1980 to 1986, the band's songs spent a total of 214 weeks on the UK Singles Chart. Their music videos showcased them as a fun gang that kids and adults alike wanted to be a part of with flying saxophonists and nutty trains. But, behind the scenes in-fighting and constantly butting up against their label boss, as well as incredible success, put pressure on the band which caused rifts and breakups over the years. This episode of Banned Biographies deals with this heady first decade and the rise and fall of one of the most beloved British bands to ever strut their stuff.
