Aspiring screenwriter Max Frye wrote a spec script in film school about a straitlaced yuppie's "best worst night ever," which his agent later told him would be perfect for either Martin Scorsese or Jonathan Demme to direct. Since Scorsese was busy on another "yuppie's best worst night ever" movie, After Hours, Demme ended up getting the nod. Demme cast Jeff Daniels as the yuppie Charlie Driggs, with Melanie Griffith as the proto-Manic Pixie Dream Girl Lulu, who sweeps him up for a weekend that starts with sex and ends in terror at the hands of her jealous ex, played by Ray Liotta. This sex-comedy/thriller mashup boasts a fantastic soundtrack and character actor cameos galore, but is the fun worth the hangover? Join us as we get outside our comfort zones with Something Wild!

Pope Leo XIV highlights the ethical challenges of AI-generated art, warning that automated creativity risks devaluing human experience and replacing authentic authorship with soulless algorithms that simulate rather than create. Jesuit priest Antonio Spadaro observes in his regular column WayPoints. Read the story here: The challenges of AI-powered art: the lesson of Leo XIV- UCA News Produced by Binu Alex About the Speaker: Jesuit Father Antonio Spadaro is the undersecretary of the Dicastery for Culture and Education of the Holy See. He is a member of the board of directors of Georgetown University and a full member of the Pontifical Academy of Fine Arts and Letters of the Virtuosi al Pantheon.

In the summer of 2013, Pope Francis, for the first time, gave three extended interviews to Spadaro, in which the late pontiff discussed his background, faith, and vision for the Catholic Church. The complete collection of these interviews was compiled and published as a book: My Door Is Always Open. Spadaro is the author of numerous books on contemporary culture, art, and literature. He has co-authored a book, Conversations on Faith, with legendary film director Martin Scorsese.

Frankenstein Created Woman (1967) | Hammer Horror & Peter Cushing Deep DiveWelcome to another atmospheric installment of the General Witchfinders podcast. In this episode, we are throwing chronology to the wind and jumping straight into the heart of the Hammer Films oeuvre. Having previously explored the Baron's first experiment in The Curse of Frankenstein and his final bow in Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell, we now settle into the middle of the franchise with the 1967 cult classic: Frankenstein Created Woman.Directed by the undisputed master of gothic cinema, Terence Fisher, and featuring a career-defining performance by Peter Cushing, this film stands as one of the most intellectually provocative entries in the Hammer Horror canon. Interestingly, this is famously cited as one of Martin Scorsese's favorite films, proving that the brilliance of the Baron transcends the "B-movie" label.The Soul of Science: Baron Victor FrankensteinIn Frankenstein Created Woman, Peter Cushing returns as Baron Victor Frankenstein. Unlike earlier iterations where the focus was on the stitching of limbs and the reanimation of dead tissue, the screenplay by Anthony Hinds (writing as John Elder) takes a metaphysical turn. Here, the Baron is obsessed with the soul.The plot follows the wrongful execution of Hans Werner (Robert Morris), the lover of the physically scarred Christina Kleve (Susan Denberg). After Christina takes her own life in grief, the Baron captures Hans's soul and traps it within Christina's surgically repaired body. This results in a "soul-swapping" revenge thriller that remains unique within the Frankenstein series. Cushing's performance is refined, showing a Baron who is less of a graverobber and more of a cold, calculated philosopher of the macabre.The Legend of Susan Denberg and Nikki van der ZylThe casting of Susan Denberg is central to the film's legacy. A German-Austrian model and 1966 Playboy Miss August Playmate, Denberg was already known to sci-fi fans for her appearance in the Star Trek episode "Mudd's Women." While her visual presence is striking, the production decided her Austrian accent was too strong for the character.Enter the legendary Nikki van der Zyl. If you have watched a James Bond film, you have likely heard her voice. She famously dubbed Honey Ryder in Dr. No and provided dialogue for countless Bond girls and even Gert Fröbe in Goldfinger. Her work on Frankenstein Created Woman adds a layer of polished professional mystery to Christina's character, bridging the gap between Hammer Horror and the 1960s spy-fi aesthetic.The Hammer Character Actor NexusAs we always do at General Witchfinders, we track the "mother nexus" of British character actors who populated the halls of Bray Studios. This film is a treasure trove for genre enthusiasts:Thorley Walters (Dr. Hertz): A close personal friend of director Terence Fisher, Walters brings a much-needed warmth to the role of the Baron's assistant. Fans will recognize him as a recurring Doctor Watson in various Sherlock Holmes adaptations, including Sherlock Holmes and the Deadly Necklace.Duncan Lamont (Werner): A veteran of the Hammer stable, Lamont appeared in the original Quatermass Experiment and returned for the 1967 film version of Quatermass and the Pit. He is also a favorite of ours from The Creeping Flesh.Robert Morris (Hans Werner): Another Quatermass alum who brings a tragic weight to the first half of the film.Derek Fowlds (Johann): Long before he was a household name in Yes Minister and Heartbeat, Fowlds was a RADA scholar cutting his teeth in the world of horror.Production History: From Bray Studios to the ScreenThe road to Frankenstein Created Woman was long. It was originally mooted as a follow-up to The Revenge of Frankenstein in 1958, capitalizing on the popularity of Roger Vadim's And God Created Woman. By the time it went into production at Bray Studios in July 1966, it was one of the penultimate productions at that iconic location.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

Estamos vivendo um momento paradoxal no cinema. Ao mesmo tempo em que filmes brasileiros chamam a atenção do público e da crítica internacional, está difícil para se produzir cinema no país.“Temos um momento muito bom de visibilidade, mas não de produção ou de incentivo à produção", afirma Marina Person, cineasta e apresentadora a Gama. Ela é a entrevistada do Podcast da Semana, da edição sobre o atual momento do cinema brasileiro."O governo Lula não conseguiu ainda colocar de volta os tijolos na casinha do Ministério da Cultura, da Secretaria do Audiovisual, do fundo setorial. Os editais não estão acontecendo, o dinheiro não está saindo”, diz.“A gente tem muita coisa boa para mostrar, somos um país enorme, o único país da América Latina que fala outra língua. Tem uma música que é incrível, o carnaval, a Amazônia. Então o reconhecimento para mim é algo que você fala ‘bom, que bom que agora tão vendo'. Mas a gente já sabia”, ela diz no podcast.Person é roteirista, diretora, atriz e uma estudiosa do cinema. Ela acaba de voltar do Festival de Berlim, onde foi exibido o filme “Isabel”, protagonizado por ela. Também está viajando pelo Brasil para apresentar a cópia restaurada em 4K do filme “São Paulo Sociedade Anônima” (1965), escrito e dirigido por seu pai, Luis Sergio Person, há 60 anos. A cópia foi restaurada pela Film Foundation, instituto de preservação da memória do cinema de Martin Scorsese.Ao Podcast da Semana, a cineasta reflete sobre o atual momento do cinema nacional no exterior, sobre a corrida pelo Oscar e sobre as chances do Brasil no prêmio, além da importância de contar e preservar as nossas histórias brasileiras.Roteiro e apresentação: Isabelle Moreira Lima
A deep dive into one of the most overlooked -- and fascinating -- sides of the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature winner: Bob Dylan, the filmmaker. While his music and lyrics have been studied endlessly, his work behind (and in front of) the camera remains largely unexplored. No other book has taken this angle, and with Dylan's legend still growing, the audience is more than ready for a bold new take. Bob Dylan as Filmmaker: No Time to Think (McNidder and Grace, 2026), the first book of its kind, opens up exciting new ways to think about the artistry of Bob Dylan. It offers a captivating exploration into movies that, according to Michael, showcase Bob Dylan not just as a subject, but as the primary author. These include Eat the Document--a short, experimental television film shot in 1966 and released in 1972; the sprawling, genre-blurring epic Renaldo and Clara (1978), both directed by Dylan himself; and the darkly surreal Masked and Anonymous (2003), directed by Larry Charles but co-written by and starring Dylan. Bob Dylan as Filmmaker explores what these movies reveal about "how it feels" to be Bob Dylan during three defining eras of his career: the revolutionary 1960s, the introspective 1970s, and the enigmatic early 2000s. Just as crucially, they illuminate Dylan's remarkable instinct for using film not merely as a medium, but as a deeply personal mode of expression. The book also provides an essential survey of Dylan's most recent movie projects, including those by other directors, in which Dylan's influence is less overt but no less powerful. Here, Michael argues that Dylan operates as a kind of "invisible co-author" in Martin Scorsese's Rolling Thunder Revue (2019), where Dylan appears as a slippery, self-mythologizing interviewee; Alma Har'el's haunting Shadow Kingdom (2021), a stylized livestream performance; and James Mangold's A Complete Unknown (2024), the Timothée Chalamet-led biopic shaped in part by Dylan's behind-the-scenes "script approval." Michael Glover Smith is a Chicago-based filmmaker, author and teacher. Michael's most recent movie, Hekla, starring Elizabeth Stam, will have it's festival premiere in early 2026. Michael is also the director of four award-winning feature films, the most recent of which, Relative, stars Wendy Robie (Twin Peaks) and is distributed by Music Box Films. His previous book, Flickering Empire: How Chicago Invented the U.S. Film Industry (co-written with Adam Selzer), was published by Columbia University Press to acclaim in 2015. He has seen Bob Dylan 100 times in concert. Michael on Twitter and Bluesky. Bradley Morgan is a media arts professional in Chicago and author of U2's The Joshua Tree: Planting Roots in Mythic America (Backbeat Books, 2021), Frank Zappa's America (LSU Press, 2025), and U2: Until the End of the World (Gemini Books, 2025).

Ray Romano built one of the biggest sitcoms of the 1990s, made hundreds of millions of dollars, and still somehow feels underrated. In this episode, we break down Ray Romano's stand-up roots, his rise to Everybody Loves Raymond, and why his legacy deserves more respect.In this episode of Why Are You Laughing?, we go back to Ray Romano's early struggles in stand-up comedy, when he was grinding it out in clubs long before network fame. We talk about how David Letterman played a major role in helping Everybody Loves Raymond get on the air, and how Romano's low-key delivery and relatable writing style separated him from flashier comedians of his era.We also dig into the parts of his career that don't get talked about enough. From the criminally underrated Men of a Certain Age, to working with Martin Scorsese on Vinyl and The Irishman, to his more recent independent film Somewhere in Queens, Romano's post-sitcom work shows range and depth that often gets overlooked.Was he overshadowed by shows like Seinfeld and Friends? Has his stand-up been underappreciated? And why does a comic this successful still feel like a “quiet legend” in comedy history?This is a full career deep dive into Ray Romano's stand-up, sitcom fame, and underrated legacy.0:00 Intro3:02 Family background7:25 Stand-Up comedy roots17:45 Newsradio firing24:01 David Letterman influence27:36 Everybody Loves Raymond36:19 Other work41:15 Martin Scorsese45:52 Netflix special50:34 Somewhere in Queens58:26 Norm MacdonaldFOR ALL THINGS BLIND MIKEhttp://blindmike.netFOR ALL THINGS CRAIGGERShttp://www.verygoodshow.orgFOR ALL THINGS HACKRIDEhttp://hackridethedemon.comFOR ALL THINGS DJ ELECTRA FRYhttp://djelectrafry.com

Adam Westlund De La Torre är tillbaka i den reguljära Nördigt-panelen! Vi snackar också lite TV och förstås om säsongsavslutningen av A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Vi börjar som vanligt i nyhetssvängen där det hänt en hel del, särskilt i spelsfären. Vi pratar bland annat om att Xbox-legenden Phil Spencer har gått i pension, att Sony lägger ned sin inhouse-studio Bluepoint games, att Insomniac Games jobbar på ett Wolverine-spel, köpet av HBO Max, BAFTA-galans vinnare, att det planeras en filmatisering av den moderna spelklassikern Bioshock, att Mads Mikkelsen ska medverka i Martin Scorseses nya film What happens at night, och mycket mera. Adam har med sig en lista på det bästa han har nördat sedan han var gäst sist, allt från rollspel till böcker och TV-serier och brädspel. Tove har i sin tur sett Netflix-thrillern The Beast in Me med Claire Danes och Matthew Rhys. Sist så blir det en Westerosrapport på säsongsavslutningen av A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, avsnitt 6: The Morrow. Så är det! Tack & Förlåt! Puss Hej!
Nineteen Seventy-Six. America's bicentennial was a great year for cinema, with films like A Star is Born, King Kong, All the President's Men, Carrie, and The Omen heating up the box office, and instant classics Rocky and Network earning the most accolades. After a six-decade career in the director's chair, Alfred Hitchcock released his last film, Family Plot, around the same time that an up-and-coming young director by the name of Martin Scorsese released his breakout hit, the fifth film of his budding career. Centered on a disillusioned New York cabbie played by Robert De Niro, this rain-and-neon-soaked meditation on summer in the city proved to be a defining outing by both actor and director. With a cast including Cybill Shephard, Albert Brooks, Peter Boyle, Harvey Keitel, and a very young Jodie Foster, the film racked up awards, including the Palme d'Or at Cannes and four nominations at the Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor for De Niro, and Best Supporting Actress for Foster. Despite controversies over its content, the film was hailed as a hit. Now, fifty years later, we're catching a ride with Taxi Driver and talking to you about it!

This week on Movie Mistrial, we dive into the wild excess, dizzying ambition, and unrestrained debauchery of Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street.The Wolf of Wall Street is a high-octane blast of filmmaking, powered by Leonardo DiCaprio's ferocious performance and Scorsese's razor-sharp direction. Its electric energy, dark humor, and satirical bite make it an unforgettable ride through the corrupt heart of American capitalism, exposing greed with both style and swagger.While undeniably entertaining, the film's relentless excess and provocative tone have sparked debate. Some argue it glamorizes the very behavior it critiques, and its lengthy runtime can feel indulgent—mirroring the characters' own over-the-top lifestyles.Join us as we break down the madness and morality of The Wolf of Wall Street. Is it a brilliant satire with something to say—or an exercise in cinematic hedonism that gets lost in the party?Connect with us and share your thoughts:Twitter: http://tiny.cc/MistrialTwitter

Aussi loin qu'il se souvienne, John Gotti a toujours voulu être un gangster. L'introduction de ce personnage important dans l'Histoire de la mafia aux Etats-Unis est une référence volontaire à la réplique de Ray Liotta dans le film de Martin Scorsese « Les Affranchis ». Car l'histoire de John Gotti et de la famille Gambino a tous les codes d'un bon film de gangster. Quoi de plus logique, puisque souvent, les personnages hauts en couleur qui nous sont présentés au cinéma et à la télévision sont directement inspirés de véritables membres ou de dirigeants de la mafia. Au sein d'une famille, lorsqu'il s'agit de gérer les affaires, on n'hésite pas à se tirer dans les pattes pour arriver premier à cette ascension vers le pouvoir...Crimes • Histoires Vraies est une production Minuit.

Today on another encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast we are talking to Christopher Lewis, son of comedian, writer, director & auteur Jerry Lewis. Ostensibly, we spoke to Christopher to talk about the publication of the book he shepherded from his father's archive, Jerry Lewis On Being a Person. But what we got was quite a bit more as we had hoped. Christopher sat down with us for quite some time to talk about his father and what it was like being the son of "The King of Comedy" which we learned, became his monicker after the Martin Scorsese film was released. We also learned about – and you knew this was coming, how could it not? – the unreleased film, The Day The Clown Cried. Perhaps the most talked about film no one has ever seen, heard from Christopher what is holding up its release to this day & why he thought it was never released. We also dug into some fantastic things like the films his dad made for himself and not a studio with stars of the day which was totally fascinating. We spoke about his time in Vegas as part of the MDA Telethon, the Jerry Lewis donation to the Library of Congress, the forgotten TV show of the 70s Pink Lady and Jeff (trust me, it's a corker) and which comedian made him laugh. And without further adieu, we bring you Christopher Lewis about "Le Roi du Crazy," his dad, Jerry Lewis.

We've been busy preparing a slate of episodes to pay tribute to some of the giants of New Hollywood who have recently left us. First on the “in memoriam” docket is no less than Robert Redford. Arguably the first true multi-hyphenate, with his directorial debut Ordinary People, Redford established an impressively new take on the “issues film”. Elena and Sam enjoy digging in and trying to untangle its thorny reputation as an Oscar spoiler for Raging Bull and Martin Scorsese. Topics include: the 92nd st Y, the origins of the Brat Pack, and what Mary Tyler Moore is really like.
On the latest episode of A Life In Movies, the movie interview podcast by All The Right Movies, we're talking to legendary actor James Woods.With a career spanning five decades, James has built a reputation as one of cinema's most compelling performers. An actor drawn to morally complex characters and unafraid to inhabit the darkest corners of human nature. A two-time Academy Award nominee with multiple Emmy wins to his name, his filmography reads like a masterclass in intensity.Speaking to us from Los Angeles, James takes us through the key moments that shaped his remarkable career. From his early days studying Political Science at MIT before the pull of acting proved too strong, to his film debut working with the legendary Elia Kazan. We dive deep into five landmark films: David Cronenberg's prophetic body-horror Videodrome, Sergio Leone's epic Once Upon a Time in America opposite Robert De Niro, Oliver Stone's raw and urgent Salvador (which earned him his first Oscar nomination), the action-comedy The Hard Way with Michael J. Fox, and Martin Scorsese's Casino where he brought the slippery Lester Diamond to unforgettable life.James also shares insights into his approach to those morally ambiguous characters that have become his trademark, his acclaimed television work, the compelling story behind his Executive Producer credit on Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer and his most recent artistic endeavour in music. A fascinating conversation with one of American cinema's most distinctive talents.Connect with ATRM: To join our fantastic community of film fans, support what we do, access our archive, listen to exclusive episodes, and a whole lot more, become an ATRM patron:Join the ATRM Community We're available on any podcast platform:Listen on Apple PodcastsListen on SpotifyYouTube: Subscribe to our channelWe're across all major social channels too:Twitter: @ATRightMoviesInstagram: @allthe_rightmovies Facebook: Join our movie groupBluesky: @alltherightmovies.comTikTok: @alltherightmoviesWebsite: alltherightmovies.com
