This week Tyler Anbinder joins in to talk about his experiences advising on Gangs of New York as well as his work tracing the Irish diaspora.About our guest:Tyler Anbinder is a specialist in nineteenth-century America and the history of immigration and ethnicity in American life. His latest book, published in March 2024 by Little, Brown, is entitled Plentiful Country: The Great Potato Famine and the Making of Irish New York. That project's digital history component, created with research assistance from more than two dozen GW students, can be found at http://beyondragstoriches.org. His most recent book before Plentiful Country was City of Dreams (2016), a history of immigrant life in New York City from the early 1600s to the present. And prior to that, in 2001, he published Five Points, a history of nineteenth-century America's most infamous immigrant neighborhood, focusing in particular on tenement life, inter-ethnic relations, and ethnic politics. His first book, Nativism and Slavery (1992), analyzed the role of the anti-immigrant, anti-Catholic Know Nothing party in the political crisis that led to the Civil War. Professor Anbinder has won fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities and held the Fulbright Thomas Jefferson Chair in American History at the University of Utrecht. He has received awards for his scholarship from the Organization of American Historians, the Columbia University School of Journalism, and the journal Civil War History. He also served as a historical consultant to Martin Scorsese for the making of The Gangs of New York.
In this episode, AKAPAD The Film Buff explores why he ranks Martin Scorsese as the third greatest filmmaker of all time, diving into the iconic director's legendary contributions to cinema.
Our summer tradition at Here’s the Thing continues, as staff members choose their favorite conversations from the archives for our Summer Staff Pick series. This week, we revisit Alec’s conversation with Thelma Schoonmaker, the legendary editor behind every Martin Scorsese film since Raging Bull. Known for her warm, unassuming presence, Schoonmaker has shaped some of cinema’s most intense and iconic moments—earning three Academy Awards and seven nominations along the way. She talks to Here’s the Thing host Alec Baldwin about Scorsese’s pet peeves, what it’s like to “create” violence, and the woman she credits with giving her the “greatest life in the world.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Tim Gallin began his quest to perform in feature films and TV after attending CW Post College on Long Island, NY. His first professional job came by way of the Gong Show in August of 1978. He was a contestant on an Elvis Presley special because Chuck Barris was a fan of The King. After seeing his old high school football coach, Vic Magnotta performing in Taxi Driver, Tim picked up the phone and gave him a call. Magnotta was a stuntman, retired special forces soldier, and Vietnam veteran who became close friends with Martin Scorsese while attending NYU. That fateful phone call created for Tim an opportunity to play football in the film The Wanderers. Through Magnotta's continued offers to perform stunts, Tim met many of the people he would collaborate with over the next 45+ years. When asked about a favorite fight scene he performed in, the Marked for Death fight from the classic film F/X (1986) was Tim's immediate response – and is the starting point of this interview that covers some of Tim's epic experiences in the industry including stunt doubling Tom hanks on Splash and Steve Martin on Only Murders in the Building.

The ultimate bar crawl of Old New York continues through a survey of classic bars and taverns that trace their origins from the 1850s through the 1880s.And this time we're recording within two of America's most famous establishments, joined by the people who know that history the best.In Part One, we introduced you to the origin story of New York City tavern life in the Dutch and colonial periods, and we ventured into Fraunces Tavern to witness the creation of the United States itself. Then we headed out to Queens and to Neir's Tavern, which quenched the thirsts of horse-racing fans in the early 19th century -- and reinvented itself in the 20th century thanks to Mae West and Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas.For part two, we fill out our list of the most historic bars and taverns still serving customers in the 21st century -- from SoHo to Williamsburg, from Midtown Manhattan to Red Hook, Brooklyn.But we center our adventure within two classic Manhattan bars, which wear their histories proudly upon the walls:-- McSorley's Old Ale House is the most famous Irish saloon in New York City (and dare we even say, the whole country?), and its stacked, cluttered walls -- every strange piece tells a story -- welcome you inside to become a part of its history. Historian Will Wander and long-time bartender Shane Buggy provide a most intoxicating tour of the joint.-- Pete's Tavern has become famous as one of America's most enduring literary bars thanks to its long-time association with O. Henry. But there are so many more secrets awaiting you -- from its association with Tammany Hall to its curious transformation into a "flower shop" during Prohibition. General manager Gary Egan and owner Steve Troy reveal many surprising twists in Pete's own history.This episode was edited and produced by Kieran Gannon. Visit the website for more images of the famous bars mentioned in this week's show.

Brian not only writes but also illustrates his incredibly popular books—this epic interview will blow you away! Brian Selznick's books have sold millions of copies, garnered countless awards worldwide, and have been translated into more than 35 languages. He broke open the novel form with his genre-breaking thematic trilogy, beginning with the Caldecott Medal-winning #1 New York Times bestseller The Invention of Hugo Cabret, adapted into Martin Scorsese's Oscar-winning movie Hugo. In praising his body of work, The Washington Post said, “Brian Selznick proves to be that rare creator capable of following one masterpiece with another.” The Associated Press called Selznick “one of publishing's most imaginative storytellers.” He and his husband Dr. David Serlin divide their time between Brooklyn, New York and La Jolla, California.
(Airdaate: 8.7.25) Lindsay Lohan wants to trade in teen comedies for a shot at Scorsese—because Mean Girls to Martin is totally a natural jump. Meanwhile, J.Lo's Vegas residency isn't exactly selling like hotcakes, unless those hotcakes are $1,300 a seat and still available. And Jamie Lee Curtis drops a hilariously unfiltered red carpet greeting on Allison Janney that proves even Hollywood legends have no chill—in the best way. Voted 6th Best Entertainment News Podcast!

From freeze frames to mob betrayals, it's fast, funny, brutal, and endlessly rewatchable.Just don't ask how many takes the Copacabana shot took. We're talkin' here.

Holidays often mean we post a listicle...and so the Civic Holiday brings about our breakdown of the American Film Institute's greatest movies that DIDN'T make their 1998 or 2007 Top 100 lists. So there's no Citizen Kane, Godfather, Jaws action here. These are nominees that were shunned both times, such as Dog Day Afternoon, Ghostbusters, L.A. Confidential...and so many more. Bev listed her #100 down to #11 alphabetically while Ryan came up with categories in groups of 10. Then we each did a more thorough analysis of our Top 10 lists. So get cozy on this first Monday of August as the 679th edition of Have You Ever Seen highlights 100+ choices of outstanding American movies on this AFI's Not Quite 100 listicle. Well, Actually: Brad Pitt IS in 3 movies between our 2 lists, but one of them was just a tiny cameo in Being John Malkovich. Also, it appears that Martin Scorsese should not have been listed with the directors who have 3 movies on one or both of our lists (it's just 2). Also also, Sigourney Weaver WAS in an AFI movie, but her 3 seconds in Annie Hall was a cameo at the very end where you can barely tell it's her. Sparkplug Coffee? Why, they sponsor us.

On episode 300 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson alongside AwardsWatch contributors Karen Peterson and Josh Parham to go back 35 years and take a look at the 63rd Academy Awards, covering the films of 1990. On this retrospective, the AW team take a trip to 1990, where actor Kevin Costner rode off the with multiple Oscars, winning Best Picture for his western Dances With Wolves. While a massive hit at the time, history has not been kind to the winner here as it has become one of the biggest mistakes in Best Picture history, with many believing this was the right time to give Martin Scorsese his due with his masterpiece, Goodfellas. Alongside talking about that, the team explores a turning point of cinema, where the big Hollywood hits made or released from the 1980s were starting to blend with the independent cinema that would dominate the 1990s. It's a fascinating year at the intersection of Hollywood's biggest night. In their in-depth discussion, the AW team talked about the film year of 1990, briefly discuss talk about Dances With Wolves as a Best Picture winner, do an extensive conversation over the below the line categories and nominees for the year, and then the new version of the AW Shoulda Woulda Coulda game, where instead of individual replacements, they must decide as a group who the nominees and winners should be in the top eight categories. The rules of the game state they can only replace two of the nominees that year from each category, except in Best Picture, where the group could replace up to three films to make up the final set of five nominated films. Like past retrospective episodes, it was a fascinating, fun conversation including spirited debates, alliances, vote swinging, celebrating various movies, performances that aren't normally talked about and more that we all hope you enjoy. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 2h07m. We will be back in next week for a review of the latest horror, Weapons. Till then, let's get into it.

Black-circle sunken red-webbed sclera, eyes of hang dog priest begging for a slim chance at peace. To walk away from bleeding streets, plastic-bagged men who reek the wretched stench of milk, the dying, and the dead. "What the hell kind of name is I.B. Bangin'?"
We've put together the ultimate New York City historic bar crawl, a celebration of the city's old taverns, pubs, and ale houses with 18th- and 19th-century connections. And along the way, you'll learn so much about the city's overall history — from its changing shoreline to the everyday lives of its working-class immigrant populations.Being an old historic bar isn't just a novel curiosity for history lovers. It can be good for business and many of the most popular landmark pubs literally wear their stories on the walls — framed newspapers and photographs, memorabilia, old clocks, sailors' caps and fedoras.The history of old bars is a little like a ghost story, where a legend has grown up around a historic place, and decades or centuries later, it can be hard to determine the pure truth. In many ways, the myths are as powerful and as interesting as the actual history itself.In this episode, the first of two parts, Greg and Kieran visit two very different establishments representing the colonial and rustic world of Old New York:— Fraunces Tavern, one of the most important American landmarks of the Revolutionary War, remains a vibrant spot over 250 years after its stools and tables were occupied with rebellious colonists. Today, its history lovers and workers from the Financial District who enjoy its labyrinthine bar and dining rooms, while upstairs an impressive museum celebrates the tavern's many eras of greatness.— Neir's Tavern, in the quiet residential neighborhood of Woodhaven, Queens, once sat next to the popular Union Race Course, one of the key American sports venues of the early 19th century. Horse-racing remains in the bar's DNA — in its insignia and on its walls. But this surprising spot may be better known for its connections to sassy queen of comedy Mae West and to the iconic Martin Scorsese film Goodfellas, which was filmed here.PLUS: The Ear Inn! And we tell you with absolute certainty the location of the oldest tavern structure in New York City. You can't drink beer there anymore, but next to it, you can grab a coffee and a croissant.This episode was produced and edited by Kieran Gannon.The Bowery Boys Podcast is proud to be sponsored by FOUNDED BY NYC, celebrating New York City's 400th anniversary in 2025 and the 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026.

On the forty- seventh episode of All the Film Things, I had the pleasure of interviewing educator Art Smith jr.! Art Smith jr. has been working in the industry for over 50 years and has mentored over 400 individuals and counting. He has worked behind the camera in various roles such as a production assistant, project manager, and prop master for well- known feature films such The Way We Were, Good Morning, Vietnam, and The Bucket List and also under the direction of acclaimed filmmakers including Brian de Palma, and Martin Scorsese. Art is a member of several prestigious organizations in the industry including the American Film Institute and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences TV. He is also the owner of the production company No Budget Movie Company and is a producing partner of Code7 Films. Art has worked in several different mediums including film, television, and music videos, one of which, for the song “Talking to the Wall”, earned him both a Telly Award and Aurora Award in 1999. Just last month, Art was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Orlando International Film Festival. Aside from his work on set, Art is a proud retired veteran who served in the US Army for 30 years. Art has been the Principal Secretary and on the Board of Directors of the Florida chapter of the non- profit organization Women in Film and Television (WIFT) for nearly twenty years and three exciting new programs, the Veterans program, Handicapped program, and Screening program, were recently launched. Go to WomeninFilmFL.org to learn more about the organization as well as grants, programs, and upcoming events. And if you're not in Florida, go to https://www.wifti.net to find your local WIFT chapter!This is Art's first time on ATFT! I've known Art for nearly three years now through attending WIFT events. At the first event I met him at, he stayed back for a few hours to chat with students answering their questions. Not long after meeting him, we had a phone call that lasted over three hours. I always look forward to seeing and talking with him at WIFT events because I always learn so much and have greatly benefited from his advice. Last spring, I asked Art if he'd be interested in coming on ATFT and he said yes instantly. Even so, this episode came together quickly but I was thrilled to finally have him on! This episode was originally 2 hours and 22 minutes so I unfortunately had to trim it down. I apologize if the audio quality is not like previous episodes, it was a challenging edit to complete in less than two weeks. This episode was recorded on July 9, 2025. In this episode, Art tells unbelievable star- studded stories from his career, from Sean Connery tracking him down to what happened when Jack Nicholson heard Art's impression of him to his friendship James Brolin, as well as the incredible opportunities Art gave his TV production students through the years. Art also talks about the business behind filmmaking at length including deals that fell through and guiding young filmmakers to success. All this and much more on the latest episode of All the Film Things!Background music created and used with permission by the Copyright Free Music - Background Music for Videos channel on YouTube.

Like a seashell to your ear, we are here. In this extra special episode of To the White Sea we are thrilled and honored to welcome Academy Award-winning sound editor Skip Lievsay, who has worked on more Coen brothers movies than the Coen brothers themselves! This paradox wrapped in an enigma will be unraveled along with so much more. Together we listen closely to scenes of “perfect quiet” when the volume of the soundtrack drops down to almost zero, yet it's in this zone where a whole galaxy of perception may be unlocked. We explore how these quiet scenes build tension, intimacy, tactility, and subjectivity. We also discuss Skip's fascinating working relationship with the Coens, as well as Martin Scorsese, Terrence Malick, and Darren Aronofsky. Immense thanks to Skip Lievsay, Kyle Miller, Mitchell Wareham, and Nina Leitenberg for their time and effort. Mega special thanks to Kate Sanford making this connection. Coens Covered: Blood Simple, The Big Lebowski, The Man Who Wasn't There, No Country for Old Men, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs Plus: The New World Want to join the study group?

RKO needed money fast in 1943 and they brought on David O Selznick protege Val Lewton to head a unit devoted to cheapie horror movies. The rules-use their titles like Cat People, I Walked with a Zombie, The Leopard Man-then figure out the rest. Lewton miraculously created a cycle of incredible atmospheric literate horror movies, several masterfully directed by genre master Jacques Tourneur, that helped revive the career of Boris Karloff, introduce subtexts like repressed sexuality, acceptance of death, compulsion, and influence many artists like Martin Scorsese and Harlan Ellison. Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill takes a deep dive into a cycle of movies that prove you can make greatness if you accept your limitations and turn that into the engine of your creativity.
In this episode of Terror Talk Podcast, we're diving deep into the wild, weird, and wonderfully low-budget world of Roger Corman, the godfather of indie horror and cult cinema. From gothic Edgar Allan Poe adaptations to biker gangs and blood-soaked exploitation flicks, Corman did it all—and on a shoestring budget.We chat about Corman's signature filmmaking style, his unapologetically fast shooting schedules, and the way he could turn a dime into dread. We explore his most iconic horror films, his love of dramatic lighting and moody monologues, and how he shaped the future of horror by mentoring legends like Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, and James Cameron.

Roughly 100 years ago, in Oklahoma, dozens of Osage people were murdered in cold blood in an attempt to steal their wealth and land. That horrific period of time is referred to as the Reign of Terror and is the focus of the true crime book “Killers of the Flower Moon” by David Grann. In this fascinating episode we compare the 2017 nonfiction book with the 2023 movie, also called “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Though different in approach, both center around an Osage woman named Mollie Kyle whose family was systematically killed in the early 1920s. What photograph inspired David Grann to write the best-selling book? How did speaking with Mollie's granddaughter inspire Martin Scorsese to change the film's script? In what ways does the movie differ from the book? And what happened to Mollie, Ernest, and Bill Hale after the trials? We hope you will join us as we discuss not only these two acclaimed works, but also this important historical occurrence of which many people still remain unaware.

In this episode, we cover Bringing Out the Dead, Martin Scorsese's overlooked gem that dives into the life of a New York City paramedic. Join The Dale, Cea, and Twan as we explore how Scorsese turns burnout into spiritual warfare and chaos into dark poetry. Nicolas Cage stars as Frank Pierce, a man unraveling under the weight of lives he couldn't save and ghosts he can't shake. Set in the drug-fueled streets of 1990s Hell's Kitchen, the film pulses with exhaustion, guilt, and hallucinatory dread.
https://notesonfilm1.com/2025/07/21/jose-arroyo-in-conversation-with-daniel-bird-on-the-fall-of-otrar-ardak-amirkulov-1991/ My choice for must-see film of this year's Cinema Rediscovered is Ardak Amirkulov's THE FALL OF OTRAR (USSR, 1991), which will have its UK Premiere in Bristol's old IMAX cinema, now called the Bristol Megascreen, on Sat 26th of July. As Daniel Bird says in the podcast, ‘it's a once in a lifetime occasion'. I wanted to talk to Daniel about the film because he knows more about it than anyone I know, because he speaks so articulately and with such an expansive frame of reference and because he's the one who proposed the restoration to Cecilia Cenciarelli, one of the four artistic directors of Bologna's Il Cinema Ritrovato and part of The World Cinema Project, whose goal is to restore great film from around the world. Such as this one. THE FALL OF OTRAR is an epic set in the 13th Century where an obedient servant of the state Undzhu (Dokhdurbek Kydyraliyev) is persecuted for telling Kaiyrkahn (Tungyshpai Zhamankulov), his ruler, what he doesn't want to hear, which is that Otrar is soon to be invaded by Genghis Kahn. The film is an extraordinary aesthetic experience, a film of great style, structured in two halves, with the last part depicting the siege of Otrar and battles sequences that clearly use Kurosawa's KAGEMUSHA (1980) as a reference point whilst transforming before our eyes into something else altogether. The film has crane shots that rival Leone's, poetic compositions that recall John Ford's, and a selective use of sepia and colour that recall some of the masters of the late Soviet era. A beautiful film that feels epic and yet very intimate as well. In the accompanying podcast Daniel tells me of THE FALL OF OTRAR's fascinating production history (it was part of a national search for ‘new blood' from the ‘regions'; it began filming just as the Soviet Union was unravelling, it started off as Amirkulov's graduation project, it is now one of the key works of Kazahkstan cinema); his own involvement with the project; how the film can be seen as the result of a Russian influence in the dramaturgy and an East Asian, particularly Japanese, influence in the visual aesthetic. We talk too of the film's initial distribution at home and in New York, Martin Scorsese's involvement, and how this new release is demonstrating how the film is also one that speaks to our times, and the various ways it does so. There are digressions (Russian Formalism, Deleuze and Guattari's A THOUSAND PLATEAUS: CAPITALISM AND SCHIZOPHRENIA, showing vs telling in cinema….and much more. It can be listened to below:

UnHerd's Florence Read sits down with Todd McGowan – philosopher, film theorist, and author of Pure Excess, Capitalism and the Commodity – to dissect the new Superman film and its deeper political, philosophical, and psychoanalytic currents.As Hollywood leans heavily on superhero franchises, and remakes and adaptations of all sorts, they question whether Superman embodies a "stuck culture," where studios' risk-averse, profit-driven strategies stifle cinematic innovation. Todd probes whether this trend signals a decline in bold, original art, contrasting it with the provocative visions of directors like David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick, Spike Lee, and Martin Scorsese, the latter of which criticised superhero films as “not cinema”, they explore if genres, like horror, have taken up the mantle, delivering the confrontational, cathartic experiences superhero films often lack.Todd finds merit in the new Superman, praising its execution and thematic depth, and reveals why superhero films reflect broader cultural tensions, what's at stake for cinema's future, and whether bold auteurs can still break through the noise.

In this fantastic episode of The Artists podcast, we are joined by the legendary Sir David Sterritt—renowned film critic and scholar, celebrated for his extensive writings on Alfred Hitchcock, Jean-Luc Godard, and more recently, Martin Scorsese. Sterritt, who previously appeared in Episode 89 where we explored Hitchcock, Godard, and Kiarostami (a must-listen if you haven’t already!), returns to unpack the essence of Pure Cinema—a term often used but rarely understood in its full cinematic depth. He’s written for esteemed publications like MovieMaker, Sight and Sound, and Cinéaste, and his insights offer a compelling journey through both classic and modern film thinking.
In this episode, we dive into The Wolf of Wall Street and break down how Martin Scorsese uses brilliant filmmaking to distract the audience from just how terrible these characters really are. We explore how the film mirrors the lifestyle it portrays—fast, loud, and reckless—and how that chaos makes it easy to ignore the darkness underneath. We also analyze Jordan Belfort's character, the outrageous tone, and the psychological tricks Scorsese uses to keep you entertained while showing you the truth.Chapters:00:00:00 How Scorsese distracts you from the debauchery00:05:41 How the beginning sets the stage for insane story00:10:56 Stratton Oakmont's recruitment 00:12:27 The metaphor Scorsese used in penny stock phone call00:15:53 The Jonah Hill scene that reveals the thought process of everyone00:18:41 How Scorsese uses the frame to show Jordan's "superior" life00:20:04 DiCaprio is the only man to pull this movie off00:24:29 The fight against being an ordinary man00:27:40 The amount of iconic scenes in incredible00:29:02 The genius use of a real event as a thematic moment00:30:49 The collapse of Jordan Belfort00:37:15 What was Scorsese trying to say at the end?00:40:43 Last point on distracting you from Jordan's losses00:41:51 The ending00:44:10 Jonah Hill took a pay cut to make this movie00:46:20 Our official rating00:53:34 Cool behind the scenes story of Margot Robbie00:56:41 Final thoughts01:00:29 Cue the music
Executing a well-timed oner is hard. Building a whole show around long, continuous takes? That's another level. This week on Below the Line, Skid is joined by First Assistant Director Donald Murphy and Camera Operator Mark Goellnicht to go behind the scenes of The Studio, the Apple TV+ comedy that blends big laughs with an ambitious visual style. Directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the show follows the fictional chaos of Continental Studios — and brings that chaos to life through long takes, handheld choreography, and camera work that pulls the audience into the scene. Topics include: Shooting single-camera, continuous-take scenes for nearly every episode How the “oner” for Episode 2 was planned, rehearsed, and executed with an eye towards golden hour Building camera choreography around comedy timing and live dialogue Collaborating with actors and stand-ins on complex blocking Stitching shots using natural movement, practical transitions, and VFX Pulling off production in real-world locations like the Las Vegas strip and the Golden Globes Utilizing crew members as additional “background” for added realism Managing on-set tone and morale with Seth Rogen's laid-back leadership Donald and Mark also reflect on how The Studio pulled off its most ambitious sequences — from passing a camera mid-shot between operators to filming in working casinos with minimal control. And yes, they name names: Martin Scorsese, Sarah Polley, Zac Efron, and Ron Howard all make appearances (on set and in the story).
In this deep dive episode of 'That Was Pretty Scary,' host Jon Lee Brody takes listeners back over a century to explore the groundbreaking silent film, 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari' (1920). Often overlooked in discussions of cinematic history, this German Expressionist masterpiece quietly laid the foundation for the horror genre and influenced a multitude of iconic filmmakers such as Tim Burton, Guillermo Del Toro, and Martin Scorsese. This episode delves into how Dr. Caligari redefined storytelling by painting dreamlike landscapes and twisting narratives, setting the stage for modern psychological thrillers.

Welcome to Following Films, where we explore the creative journeys behind the films that inspire us. I'm your host, Chris Maynard.Today's guest is Steven Martini—an award-winning screenwriter, actor, musician, and the director of the deeply personal new indie film BitterSweet.This film is more than just a story—it's Steven's story.

You might know his earlier work, including Lymelife and Smiling Fish and Goat on Fire, both of which earned acclaim and were executive produced by Martin Scorsese.BitterSweet is an unflinching look at undiagnosed autism, toxic masculinity, and the trials of early parenthood. It opens in select theaters June 11 and hits VOD worldwide July 3.In our conversation, Steven opens up about the emotional and artistic journey behind the film, the challenges of telling such a personal story, and the catharsis of turning pain into art.Let's jump into it.
