Adapted from Elmore Leonard's novel Rum Punch, this crime thriller showcases Tarantino's signature style but with a more mature and restrained approach compared to Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs.Setting the Scene: A Game of SurvivalPam Grier stars as Jackie Brown, a flight attendant caught smuggling money for arms dealer Ordell Robbie (Samuel L. Jackson). When she's busted by the ATF, she finds herself caught between law enforcement and Ordell, who won't hesitate to eliminate loose ends. With the help of bail bondsman Max Cherry (Robert Forster), Jackie hatches a plan to outmanoeuvre both sides and secure her own future.Why It Stands OutPam Grier's Iconic Performance – A true 70s blaxploitation star, Grier delivers a powerhouse performance that cements Jackie Brown as one of Tarantino's best-written characters.Samuel L. Jackson as Ordell Robbie – Charismatic, chilling, and endlessly quotable, Jackson's villain is both funny and terrifying.Robert Forster's Career Revival – As the world-weary Max Cherry, Forster brings a grounded, heartfelt presence that earned him an Oscar nomination.A Different Tarantino – While still packed with sharp dialogue and memorable characters, Jackie Brown leans more into slow-burn tension and character depth rather than hyper-stylized violence.Elmore Leonard's Influence – The film stays true to the novel's sharp plotting and richly drawn characters, making for a crime thriller with real emotional weight.Themes: Trust, Betrayal, and Second ChancesUnlike Tarantino's usual revenge-driven stories, Jackie Brown is about survival and reinvention. Jackie isn't looking for payback—she's trying to carve out a better life for herself in a world stacked against her. The film explores aging, regret, and loyalty, particularly in Jackie's dynamic with Max Cherry, whose quiet admiration adds an unexpected layer of romance.A Dad's TakeJackie Brown is a must-watch for fans of Tarantino, crime thrillers, and smartly written characters. While it may not have the explosive action of his other films, it offers something even better—a masterfully crafted, character-driven story with a killer soundtrack and one of the coolest leading ladies in cinema.So, grab a beer, settle in, and join us as we unpack one of Tarantino's finest films on Bad Dads Film Review!

À voir les sorties en salles cette semaine, il n'y a pas grand-chose à se mettre sous la dent. Une bestiole sacrément affamée va cependant sauver cette chronique tout en ramenant à une période de cinéma américain plus folle qu'on le pense. Il faut se souvenir des années 80 comme un nouvel âge d'or pour les séries B quand cette décennie aura aligné les films aux pitchs les plus saugrenus, exploitant les moindres tendances sociétales ou faits divers. Ainsi L'Incroyable alligator s'est inspiré d'une mode éphémère qui transforma les animaux exotiques en domestiques, voyant débarquer dans des foyers urbains des araignées, serpents et autres bébés crocodiles. La plupart finissant balancés vivants aux toilettes, une fois que les marmots ne les trouvaient plus si mignons que ça. Il en naquit une légende urbaine selon laquelle, un alligator aurait survécu dans les égouts de New York, pour y grandir et commencer à boulotter les chiens errants puis les humains. De quoi faire les affaires de producteurs mercantiles qui y virent de quoi renouveler la vague de sous- Dents de la mer qui écumait les écrans. Mais aussi de quoi redonner du travail à des gens formés par Roger Corman. Parmi eux, un certain John Sayles, réalisateur qui finançait ses propres films d'auteur en pondant des scénarios pour le pape de la série B cheap, mais ultra-rentable. Après avoir rédigé celui de Piranha, un des meilleurs ersatzs en carton du film de Spielberg, le voilà engagé pour peaufiner celui de L'incroyable alligator.Donc un scénariste qui avait les crocs, mais est-ce que cela suffisait à rendre cet Alligator appétissant ?Assurément quand, grâce au travail de Sayles, ce film se nourrit, plus que des festins du reptile, de piques envers les institutions de la police aux journalistes pour devenir une satire mordante de l'american way of life sous Jimmy Carter, renforcée par des personnages joués au premier degré. Il s'est souvent dit que ce ton novateur de divertissement bon enfant essayant de commenter les travers de son époque a été une des influences de Quentin Tarantino pour écrire certains rôles de Jackie Brown, dont celui de Max Cherry, ancien flic fatigué de la vie, qu'il confiera à Robert Forster, justement interprète principal de L'incroyable Alligator. Pour sa composition chez Tarantino, l'acteur récoltera une nomination à l'Oscar du meilleur second rôle. À revoir cette série B bien torchée, qui réapparait – accompagnée de sa suite, plus nanardesque - aujourd'hui en Blu-ray, il est évident que jamais, elle n'aurait décroché un tel honneur, mais aussi que ce film-là, certes fauché dans ses effets, mais riche de son sous-texte brocardant sa conscience d'être un pur produit commercial, valait bien mieux, par son honnêteté ou son auto-ironie, que la majorité des blockbusters actuels, dévorés, eux, par une inconsistance scénaristique ou un certain cynisme.L'incroyable Alligator/ Alligator 2 : la mutation.

Russell Bailey (Not Just For Kids Podcast) and Will Which (Caged In: Coppola Connections) join Flixwatcher remotely to review Russell's choice Jackie Brown. Jackie Brown is the 1997 Quentin Tarantino film based on the novel Rum Punch by Elmore Leonard. It stars Pam Grier as Jackie Brown, Samuel L. Jackson as Ordell, Robbie Robert Forster as Max Cherry, Bridget Fonda as Melanie Ralston, Michael Keaton as ATF Agent Ray Nicolette, Robert De Niro as Louis Gara and Chris Tucker as Beaumont Livingston. Air hostess Jackie Brown is busted carrying cash and drugs from Mexico into the US for gun enthusiast and aspiring crime boss Ordell. To avoid jail she agrees to help Agent Ray Nicolette in a sting to get Ordell. At the same time she negotiates a plan with Ordell for him to keep the money - unknown to either Jackie plans to keep the money for herself with the help of smitten bail bondsman Max Cherry. Unbelievably Jackie Brown received a lukewarm response from critics and film fans who were expecting Pulp Fiction part two. Time has however shown that it is top tier Tarantino and it has grown in popularity, mainly because of the incredible performance by Pam Grier. Scores for Jackie Brown were high for recommendability but a little lower for repeat viewing - mainly due to its 2 hour 40 min run time - and engagement gives an overall rating of 4.03. This makes Jackie Brown the current leader on the Flixwatcher scoreboard for Tarantino films.

Ready for a party in your ears from those wacky Nerds again? This week we are celebrating, scratching our chins in suspicion, and looking at upcoming events that we can use to make money. But first, grab a cup of Earl Grey, hot, get a comfy seat and get ready because we have a party. It’s here, that marvellous time of year when we find out who has won a noble prize! It’s awesome, kind of like a Nerds holiday celebrating knowledge and learning, yay! For those wondering Buck is bouncing around the office with excitement. Speaking of which, his topic this week is the Nobel prize winners in Chemistry, and it is for the Lithium Ion battery. A long time coming we know, but still, it is definitely worthy. Buck is still reading the lists and articles about this, and the Professor is enjoying this to.Next up we have DJ telling us about the latest with him doing little, erm, um, oh, sorry. Apparently it is about the new Dolittle movie, not him being lazy. Now there are some interesting points in this section so make sure you listen carefully. We won’t give away all the details here, no, listen in and see what is happening. We can tell you there is a name change, and no, it isn’t DJ being rebranded to some funny name such as Purveyance Slave Droid. Mainly because he still hasn’t learned how to make the perfect cup of Earl Grey.Next we hear how someone has had an epically lucky coincidence when naming their crowd funding campaign. We are told it is completely unintentional though. Although Buck thinks that this is the next generation of Citizen Con, sorry, Star Con, no, what is it, star rippoff? Oh you know what we mean. Anyway, this bloke was trying to raise capital for a game he was developing and listen in to hear the rest of this fantastic story.As usual we have the shout outs, with special mention to Christina Koch and Jessica Meir, the first all female spacewalk crew. Then we have the usual remembrances, birthdays and special events. We are going to be appearing at Supanova Brisbane so stop by and say hello, we will be happy to see you, also we have a special announcement this next week. Until then, take care of yourselves, look out for each other and stay hydrated.EPISODE NOTES:Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2019 winners - https://www.downtoearth.org.in/news/science-technology/chemistry-nobel-for-development-of-lithium-ion-batteries-67159Dolittle movie update - https://deadline.com/video/universal-dolittle-robert-downey-jr-trailer/Day of Dragons confusion - https://twitter.com/icotom/status/1182291839027761152?s=20Games currently playingDJ– MK 11 - https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/mortal-kombat-11-ps4/Rating – 4/5Buck– World of Warships - https://worldofwarships.com/Rating – 4.5/5Professor– Creeper World 3 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/280220/Creeper_World_3_Arc_Eternal/Rating – 9/10Other topics discussedKryten (Red Dwarf character)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KrytenJohn Goodenough (Oldest Nobel Prize winner at the age of 97)- https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-10-09/nobel-prize-in-chemistry-for-lithium-ion-battery-development/11588298More facts about the Lithium-ion battery- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery1970s energy crisis (Major industrial countries of the world, particularly the United States, Canada, Western Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, faced substantial petroleum shortages, real and perceived, as well as elevated prices.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970s_energy_crisisElectroBOOM (Iranian Canadian comedian, electrical engineer and YouTube personality.)- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwIvUbOhcKERoast Rabbit (from the Warner Brothers show : Wackiki Wabbit)- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6feJ7k36BPkEnergizer lithium ion batteries- https://www.energizer.com/batteries/energizer-ultimate-lithium-batteriesMemory effect (also known as battery effect, lazy battery effect, or battery memory, is an effect observed in nickel-cadmium and nickel–metal hydride rechargeable batteries that causes them to hold less charge.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_effectNickel Cadmium batteries (type of rechargeable battery using nickel oxide hydroxide and metallic cadmium as electrodes.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel–cadmium_batteryHow to prolong lithium batteries- https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteriesBaghdad battery (also known as Parthian Battery is a set of three artefacts which were found together: a ceramic pot, a tube of copper, and a rod of iron.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baghdad_BatteryOxford Electric Bell (also known as Clarendon Dry Pile is an experimental electric bell that was set up in 1840 and which has run nearly continuously ever since.

On 18 March 1965, he became the first human to conduct a spacewalk, exiting the capsule during the Voskhod 2 mission for 12 minutes and 9 seconds. He was connected to the craft by a 4.8-metre (16 ft) tether. At the end of the spacewalk, Leonov's spacesuit had inflated in the vacuum of space to the point where he could not re-enter the airlock. He opened a valve to allow some of the suit's pressure to bleed off and was barely able to get back inside the capsule. Leonov had spent eighteen months undergoing weightlessness training for the mission. In July 1975, Leonov commanded the Soyuz capsule in the Soyuz–Apollo mission, which docked in space for two days with an American Apollo capsule. Leonov was an accomplished artist whose published books include albums of his artistic works and works he did in collaboration with his friend Andrei Sokolov. Leonov took coloured pencils and paper into space, where he sketched the Earth and drew portraits of the Apollo astronauts who flew with him during the 1975 Apollo–Soyuz Test Project. Arthur C. Clarke wrote in his notes to 2010: Odyssey Two that, after a 1968 screening of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Leonov pointed out to him that the alignment of the Moon, Earth, and Sun shown in the opening is essentially the same as that in Leonov's 1967 painting Near the Moon, although the painting's diagonal framing of the scene was not replicated in the film. Clarke kept an autographed sketch of this painting—which Leonov made after the screening—hanging on his office wall. Clarke dedicated 2010: Odyssey Two to Leonov and Soviet physicist Andrei Sakharov; and the fictional spaceship in the book is named Cosmonaut Alexei Leonov. He was the last living member of the five cosmonauts in the Voskhod programme. He died from a long illness at the age of 85 in Moscow. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexei_Leonov11 Oct 2019 - Robert Forster , American actor, known for his roles as John Cassellis in Haskell Wexler's Medium Cool, Lebanese terrorist Abdul Rafai in The Delta Force, and Max Cherry in Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown, for which he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Forster's varied filmography further includes titles such as Me, Myself & Irene, Mulholland Drive, The Descendants, Olympus Has Fallen, London Has Fallen, and What They Had. He also had prominent roles in television series such as Banyon, Heroes, and Twin Peaks (2017). He won the Saturn Award for Best Guest Starring Role on Television for his performance as Ed Galbraith also referred to as the Disappearer in the Breaking Bad episode "Granite State", reprising his role in the series' sequel film El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, which premiered the day of his death. He died from brain cancer at the age of 78 in Los Angeles, California - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Forster14 Oct 1984 – Sir Martin Ryle, Englishradio astronomer who developed revolutionary radio telescope systems and used them for accurate location and imaging of weak radio sources. In 1946 Ryle and Derek Vonberg were the first people to publish interferometric astronomical measurements at radio wavelengths. With improved equipment, Ryle observed the most distant known galaxies in the universe at that time. He was the first Professor of Radio Astronomy at the University of Cambridge, and founding director of the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory. He was Astronomer Royal from 1972 to 1982. Ryle and Antony Hewish shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1974, the first Nobel prize awarded in recognition of astronomical research.[6] In the 1970s, Ryle turned the greater part of his attention from astronomy to social and political issues which he considered to be more urgent. He died from a long illness at the age of 66 in Cambridge. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_RyleFamous Birthdays14 Oct 1801 - Joseph Plateau, Belgian physicist and mathematician. He was one of the first people to demonstrate the illusion of a moving image. To do this, he used counterrotating disks with repeating drawn images in small increments of motion on one and regularly spaced slits in the other. He called this device of 1832 the phenakistiscope. The projection of stroboscopic photographs, creating the illusion of motion, eventually led to the development of cinema. Plateau also studied the phenomena of capillary action and surface tension. The mathematical problem of existence of a minimal surface with a given boundary is named after him. He conducted extensive studies of soap films and formulated Plateau's laws which describe the structures formed by such films in foams. He was born in Brussels - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Plateau14 Oct 1927 – Sir Roger Moore, English actor best known for playing British secret agent James Bond in seven feature films from 1973 to 1985, beginning with Live and Let Die. His most notable television role was playing the main character, Simon Templar, in the British television series The Saint from 1962 to 1969. He also had roles in some American television shows and films in the late 1950s and early 1960s, including replacing James Garner and portraying Beau Maverick in the Maverick series in 1960 to 61. Moore starred with Tony Curtis in The Persuaders television series in 1971 to 1972, and had roles in several theatrical films in the 1970s and 1980s. Moore was appointed a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 1991 and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2003 for services to charity.

Eastman's invention revolutionized photography by using coated paper and rollers, rather than heavy glass dry plates, to reproduce images. Eastman began looking for ways to "make the camera as convenient as the pencil," after amassing the heavy, complicated, and expensive equipment he needed to keep a picture record of his vacation. This invention allowed him to mass produce a small hand-held box camera filled with rolls of film with 100 exposures. Millions of Americans recorded the first snap shots of their everyday lives using the Kodak camera, which was introduced in 1888.- https://www.uspto.gov/about-us/news-updates/kodak-film-patent-issued-october-14-1884- https://patents.google.com/patent/US306594A/en14 Oct 1892 - Arthur Conan Doyle publishes "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" collection of 12 stories originally published serially in "The Strand Magazine".

The rocket plane nicknamed “Glamorous Glennis” (after Yeager's wife), was designed with thin, unswept wings and a streamlined fuselage modeled after a .50-caliber bullet.

Berlin Game -Len Deighton - Spybrary Book Club Edition Spybrary listeners voted overwhelmingly for Berlin Game to be the first spy book to be discussed in our first ever book club Spybrary edition. Listen to an in-depth conversation on this spy classic with Spybrary host Shane Whaley, Deighton expert Rob Mallows and newcomer to Len Deighton's work but not the spy genre Peter Newman. WARNING - Please do not listen to the Berlin Game Book Club edition of Spybrary if you have not read the book. Unlike other episodes of the Spybrary Spy Podcast this episode if full of Berlin Game spoilers. It is a book club edition so we cover lots of aspects of the book including many of the twists and turns. Spybrary Host Shane Whaley claims that this is one of the top 3 spy books ever written, if not the best! 'Not just a multi-layered spy novel but also a love letter from Len Deighton to Berlin' he says. Rob Mallows says Berlin Game is the book that got him hooked on Len Deighton. Peter Newman delivers a fresh approach as this was his first time reading Berlin Game. What did our panel think of the plot, the characters, the writing, the conclusion? Tune in to find out! 'Fleming made spy fiction globally popular, but it took Deighton in the Sixties with novels such as The IPCRESS File to make it hip. His finest work, though, came later, in the Eighties, with this trilogy (completed by Mexico Set and London Match) about the disillusioned SIS agent Bernard Samson. Less exuberant than his early books but more subtle, Berlin Game is a terrific feat of plotting that out-le-Carrés le Carré in its sardonic portrait of Secret Service office politics. Tarantino (who had Max Cherry read a copy in Jackie Brown) should hurry up and film it, like he said he would.' Jake Kerridge - The Telegraph. Notable Quotes from Berlin Game by Len Deighton 'How long have we been sitting here?’ I said. I picked up the field glasses and studied the bored young American soldier in his glass-sided box. ‘Nearly a quarter of a century,’ said Werner Volkmann. His arms were resting on the steering wheel and his head was slumped on them. ‘That GI wasn’t even born when we first sat here waiting for the dogs to bark.’ Bernard Samson ----- 'Do you know some quiet restaurant where they have sausage and potatoes and good Berlin beer?’ ‘I know just the place, Bernie. Straight up Friedrichstrasse, under the railway bridge at the S-Bahn station and it’s on the left. On the bank of the Spree: Weinrestaurant Ganymed.’ ‘Very funny,’ I said. Between us and the Ganymed there was a wall, machine guns, barbed wire, and two battalions of gun-toting bureaucrats.'
