Ce n'est pas un hasard si le film Midnight in Paris a été le plus grand succès de Woody Allen. On y retrouve sa narration particulière, un zeste de Fantastique, beaucoup d'humour, évidemment, mais surtout PARIS.Car Paris n'est pas seulement une ville à visiter pour ses bâtiments, ses restaurants et bistrots et ses spectacles. C'est surtout une ville marquée par la légende. Je vous le demande, y a-t-il un quartier dans cette ville où vous ne pouvez pas vous arrêter sans y entendre l'écho d'un souvenir fabuleux ? Oh oui bien sûr, celui de l'Olympia sur le boulevard des Capucines. On les voit, les monumentales lettres rouges former le nom de Johnny Hallyday, Michel Sardou ou Michel Fugain et le Big Bazar sur la grande enseigne de la façade et y rester des mois et des mois, car la salle ne désemplit pas. On les connaît, les photos en noir et blanc des coulisses débordant de monde avec les Beatles et Sylvie Vartan, de la scène noire éclairée par un unique projecteur sur une Edith Piaf droite derrière un micro, ou Madonna sur une chaise avec les 4 lettres MDNA en fond. L'entrée des artistes en a vu passer dans la rue Caumartin … et puis quand vous revenez sur le boulevard, à droite, l'image d'un Johnny arrivant en décapotable avec une équipe de télé nous ramène dans le Paris en noir et blanc de 1961. La nouvelle idole des Copains va tourner devant l'église de la Madeleine, toute proche, un lieu qui résonne différemment dans notre mémoire désormais.Mais si l'Olympia, la Madeleine, c'est une évidence, alors filons jusqu'à cet endroit comme il y en a mille autres à Paris, une rue étroite où les bâtiments de cinq étages laissent voir peu de ciel bleu. L'immeuble du N°13 ne paie vraiment pas de mine ; une certaine Hélène Mar y vivait après-guerre, elle y a élevé son neveu Jean-Philippe. Alors on l'imagine, l'ado, futur Johnny Hallyday, faire le mur et rejoindre ses copains. Au carrefour tout proche, se dresse en effet l'église de la Trinité avec, de l'autre côté, devant le parvis, le petit square avec ses arbres.Alors qu'est-ce qui nous empêche de nous asseoir sur un banc ? Et de nous demander, qui parmi tous ces passants du Square de la Trinité, ces habitants pour prendre le temps de regarder, d'imaginer, ce qui était à l'époque le repaire de la bande des blousons noirs du quartier. Je dis du quartier car il arrive à la bande à Johnny de se promener en espérant croiser celle du Sacré-Coeur et de pouvoir se friter avec elle. Ah il est loin le bébé Jean-Phi qui s'est fait baptiser dans cette église. C'est aujourd'hui un grand gamin de la bande qui tourne à moto comme Marlon Brando dans L'équipée sauvage. Enfin bon, pas en Harley Davidson, hein, mais en Vespa qu'il emprunte sans le consentement de son propriétaire, le plus souvent. Et qui cherche la bagarre aussi, comme dans La fureur de vivre avec James Dean. Sauf que James Dean ne veut pas se battre dans ce film, ils ont pas bien capté, les titis parisiens, trop fascinés par cet univers de l'adolescence américaine qu'ils découvrent pour la première fois au cinéma. Et c'est vrai que transposé dans ce Paris toujours ancré dans le début du siècle, ça ne le fait pas. Son pote du square Claude Moine, qui ne s'appelle pas encore Eddy, est bien de cet avis. Et puis il y aussi Slip, enfin celui qu'ils ont surnommé comme ça, celui qui se trimballe avec une guitare dans le dos comme Johnny et qui se nomme Jacques Dutronc.

Hi Everyone, hope you're having a wonderful Tuesday! This week's guest is my Pacific Northwest buddy and star of Napoleon Dynamite, Jon Heder! If you haven't seen Napoleon Dynamite (I don't know how that's possible), please go out and watch it RIGHT NOW and then come back for this interview. It was so much fun to chat with Jon and hear the story behind how he created such an iconic character. We talk about where he learned to dance, how he and the director transformed the story from a student film into a massive hit and what it was like managing such an insane level of overnight fame. It's been quite awhile since that movie came out and the truth is, Jon is so much more than that character. He is a dad, he's a big outdoors guy and he's still a phenomenal actor! He is starring in the new film Waltzing With Brando, alongside Billy Zane, and we talk about his experience learning more about Marlon Brando, shooting in Tahiti and his personal policy on nudity on camera. This is exactly the conversation you'd expect from a guy like Jon— it's absurd, goofy and earnest all at the same time. Be sure to stick around for the Hindsight, where my producer Jeph and I talk about the interview over a bowl of tots!

n this episode of the Movies In Focus podcast, writer-director Bill Fishman talks about his sun-soaked comedy Waltzing With Brando - the true story of Marlon Brando's quest to build an eco-paradise in Tahiti, brilliantly brought to life by Billy Zane's note-perfect and layered performance. Fishman, known for celebrating quirky real-life tales, discusses how Waltzing With Brando sidesteps weighty drama in favour of breezy high jinks and zesty energy, with Jon Heder playing the straight man as Bernard Judge, Brando's bewildered architect. Together, they recreate iconic Brando moments in a relaxed, 'holiday of a film' that feels as playful and unpredictable as its subject. Fishman also reminisces about working with Monkee, Michael Nesmith on the '80s cult classic Tapeheads and how working with 'The Nez' shaped his approach to storytelling. This conversation is a must for anyone fascinated by Brando, behind-the-scenes tales, and the pure enjoyment of an unhurried cinematic romp. Read the Movies In Focus review of Waltzing With Brando

Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather (1972) is widely regarded as one of the greatest films of all time. Based on Mario Puzo's best-selling 1969 novel, The Godfather depicts the rise and legacy of the Corleone family, a fictional Italian-American organized crime family led by Vito Corleone and the transformation of his son Michael from a reluctant outsider to a ruthless mafia boss. The film, which features an ensemble cast of American film icons, including Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Robert Duval, Diane Keaton, Talia Shire, and John Cazale, explores themes of family, power, and the American Dream. It also provides a window into the relationship between law and culture while offering complex perspectives on the meaning of justice.

A movie star has "it". You can't learn it. You can't fake it. The camera loves you. The audience wants you. Great actors may never be movie stars but they often have long, rewarding careers filled with powerful work even if they never get that huge paycheck. What's interesting though is how often big stars are determined to be recognized as great actors or vice versa. And it's that grain of sand that often makes a dynamic career. Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill looks at movie stars, great actors, and everything in between like Louise Brooks, Marlon Brando, Steve McQueen, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Paul Newman among others and tries to figure out. . .what exactly makes a movie star.
This month we are joined by Andy Elias, one of the founders of the production company Caio Handy ( @CiaoHandy ).

He's also acted in a variety of films, from big-budget Hollywood flicks “The Phantom Menace” and “The Mummy” to indie hits like the dazzling “Pocket Film of Superstitions”. Join us for a chat with Andy about everything from his favourite horror films to finding a World War I trench to film in to what he shares in common with Marlon Brando.

We've always said to understand the economy, you have to understand human nature, and nothing reveals that better than watching the biggest players do a Godfather-style U-turn for easy money. In this episode, we connect the dots between Marlon Brando's Don Corleone and Jamie Dimon's pivot from calling crypto “a fraud” to using it as loan collateral, all while the President of the United States holds stakes in coins of his own. We unpack how the $2 trillion crypto market has morphed from anti-Wall Street rebellion to one of the most powerful lobby groups in America, funnelling cash to Congress to rewrite the rules. Along the way, we lift the lid on stablecoins, explain why money is a public good (not a private printing press for the TikTok age), and ask what happens if the dollar's last line of defence, the Fed, gets taken out. Life imitating art imitating life… and the ending might not be pretty. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Uno de los momentos más memorables de la ceremonia de los Oscar de 2018 fue la aparición de una esplendorosa Eva Marie Saint con 93 años para entregar el Oscar a “El hilo invisible” como mejor diseño de vestuario. Su presencia en aquella gala sirvió para homenajear a los supervivientes de aquel Hollywood que hizo grande a la industria cinematográfica, especialmente a quienes fueron un signo de discreción y de dignidad. A lo largo de su carrera, Eva Marie Saint fue precisamente eso, alguien que estando en las antípodas de las grandes divas del séptimo arte destacaba por su elegancia y su capacidad para sumergirse en cualquier tipo de papel. Debutó por la puerta grande dando vida al vehículo de la redención de Marlon Brando en “La ley del silencio” y se llevó por ello el Oscar a la mejor actriz de reparto, además se convirtió en una de las rubias más fascinantes que pasaron por las manos de Alfred Hitchcock en “Con la muerte en los talones”. El pasado 4 de julio de 2025 Eva Marie Saint cruzó con creces lo que es ser centenaria cumpliendo 101 años. Este reportaje pertenece al programa "El Cine de LoQueYoTeDiga" nº 440 (15x25) y fue emitido el 13 de julio de 2024.
James Gunn's Superman (2025) is in cinemas right now, and is really good! It has a wonderful central performance by David Corenswet, and is as colourful as it is hopeful, and we need that right now. As I'm off this week, it felt like a good time to revisit the late Christopher Reeve's iconic performances in Superman II, Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, Superman III & Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.Technically the first ever quadruple-bill episode (if you also count the Richard Donner cut of Superman II, which we do), as voted for by Patrons of this podcast for, on the history and legacy of Superman II, Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, Superman III & Superman IV: The Quest for Peace ! The sequels to the previous episode on SupermanSUPERMAN II was inevitable after Richard Donner completed 75% of the movie, filmed at the same time as Superman (1978). His work on the sequel was halted during Superman's production, but as Superman flew into the box office and became a critical and financial success, the sequel was fired up again... and Donner himself was unceremoniously fired from the movie by the Salkinds, and replaced with Richard Lester; a move that didn't go down well with the cast and crew...SUPERMAN II: THE RICHARD DONNER CUT came about due to the open secret of Richard Donner's material existing in a vault somewhere. After a few legal issues, notably with the estate of Marlon Brando for the production of Superman Returns, a new 2001 DVD version of Superman also led to the discovery of 6 tonnes of unused, previously lost material shot by Richard Donner for Superman II. In an unprecedented (at the time) fan campaign to see Donner's cut, it was finally released to acclaim in 2006...SUPERMAN III is less of a Superman movie, and more of a comedy vehicle for the late, great Richard Pryor, but that didn't mean it was easy to get made. A lot of people were still annoyed at the Salkinds for their treatment of Richard Donner, including Christopher Reeve himself. Reeve almost didn't return as the iconic character, but changed his mind and relished playing Superman vs Superman (which was also almost the title of the movie), but in retrospect it would be a movie he wouldn't have too much fun with, despite the slapstick tone...SUPERMAN IV: THE QUEST FOR PEACE would only be made after the Salkinds sold the rights to The Cannon Group; a production company known for making low quality movies en masse to make as much profit as possible. Cannon's plan though was big franchises: they bought Superman with the intent of spending $36 million on Superman IV. They were also making Masters of the Universe, the first big screen adventure for He-Man. But Masters of the Universe's financial woes would drastically affect Superman IV, with disastrous consequences for the Superman franchise, and leading to a 19-year wait for Superman to return...This episode was originally released on 16th November 2023Mentioned in this episode:From the ArchiveThere's no new episode this week, so I thought you might be interested in revisiting this slightly older, but no less brilliant episode. Just bear in mind, this episode is several years old, it may not sound quite as polished as newer episodes, and new information may have come to light in recent years with regards to the making of this movie (please see above for the original date of release) Please enjoy this time capsule of an episode.

Next, we are going to talk about Not Another Teen Movie, written by Mike Bender, Adam Jay Epstein, Andrew Jacobson, Phil Beauman and Buddy Johnson and directed by Joel Gallen.

The Western genre is a home grown art form like jazz and rock and roll. And it occasionally produces really strange and wild movies. Marlon Brando's incredible 1961 One Eyed Jacks is a western that takes place on California beaches with a psycho-sexual Oedipal focus on a rebel, a father figure, and a step-daughter. Other eccentric westerns like Budd Boetticher's minimalist 1956 Seven Men From Now, John Huston's & John Milius's counter-culture The Life & Times of Judge Roy Bean, Clint Eastwood's supernatural revenge High Plains Drifter, and S. Craig Lawler's near Cormac McCarthy unbelievably gory yet gripping Bone Tomahawk are all beautiful bizarre outliers. Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill takes a deep dive and looks at around a dozen of the most eccentric westerns ever made.
Ana and Dan will never ask you to guess what color underwear they have on. We talk about Marlon Brando's floating green bagel, the moral clarity of a Kansas upbringing, Lex Luthor as the über–rentier class supervillain, and why 1970s journalism might've been the last honest institution in cinema. Also: Is this Superman the least traumatized superhero in the American metahuman pantheon? There is IR in this movie. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Marlon Brando once broke a paparazzo's jaw with one punch. He hired private investigators to find his son when a fake kidnapping went horribly wrong. He nearly sank an already doomed film shoot all by himself when he arrived in the Philippines overweight, underprepared, and demanding millions of dollars. And at the very moment he was trying to resuscitate his career, he found himself desperately trying to resuscitate his daughter's dead boyfriend in his own living room. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including sexual assault and suicide.

He shares raw, hilarious stories from his iconic roles in Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs, The Hateful Eight, and Kill Bill, plus surreal run-ins with Marlon Brando, Michael Jackson, and a wild Lawrence Tierney.

Barbra Streisand has been a huge presence in American entertainment—music, film, and stage—for more than sixty years. She was the youngest person ever to achieve the EGOT, winning Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards by the age of twenty-seven. At eighty-three years old, Streisand is releasing a new album, “The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume 2.” It's a collection of duets featuring Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, and Seal, along with younger artists including Hozier, Sam Smith, and Ariana Grande. Streisand sat down with David Remnick to talk about the record and the history behind it. Bob Dylan, for one, apparently had a crush on the singer from afar. “We were both nineteen years old in Greenwich Village, never met each other,” Streisand says. “I remember him sending me flowers and writing me a card in different color pencils, like a child's writing, you know. And ‘Would you sing with me?' And I thought, What would I sing with him?” Streisand talks with Remnick about her complicated childhood with her mother, who was jealous of her talent; her dislike of live performance; and the classy way to rebuff a come-on from Marlon Brando.
Ben Bowlin, new co-host of Wrongful Conviction and host of the long-standing podcast Stuff the Don’t Want You to Know and Jason Flom from the Wrongful Conviction podcast had the honor of sitting down for many hours to speak with Leonard Peltier about his personal life, the historical context of the resistance movement and events that led to the attack on Jumping Bull Ranch in ‘75, as well as his near 50 year fight for justice that led to his sentence commutation in the final minutes of the Biden Administration. In part two of this three-part series, the FBI had such a large suspect list after the shootout on Jumping Bull Ranch that it included every native combat veteran in the area and even a 4-year-old. But soon the target list was narrowed down to Dino Butler, Bob Robideau, and Leonard Peltier. Both Butler and Robideau were soon arrested, tried, and acquitted, successfully arguing self defense. But Leonard tells us how he sought help from Marlon Brando, and asylum in Canada before the presentation of false evidence brought him back to the US to stand trial. The Wrongful Conviction of Leonard Peltier is a production of Lava For Good™ Podcasts in association with Signal Co. No1. It follows the January 2025 Sundance premiere of the documentary FREE LEONARD PELTIER, a searing investigation of the case from Public Square Films and directors David France and Jesse Short Bull. We have worked hard to ensure that all facts reported in this show are accurate.
