India's celebrated education technology company Byju's went from being one of the world's most hyped start-ups to being sued for fraud in a Delaware court and accused of engaging in unethical, if not illegal, behavior.The episode serves as a cautionary tale about the world of start-ups, venture capital, and the crushing social pressures Indian children and parents face to climb up the social ladder. The story of the rise—and sudden fall—of Byju's and its founder Byju Raveendran is detailed by the journalist Yudhijit Bhattacharjee in a new piece for the online magazine Rest of World titled, “The math tutor and the missing $533 million.”Bhattacharjee is a contributing writer at The New York Times Magazine whose writing has also appeared in The New Yorker, National Geographic, Wired, and other U.S. magazines.He is also the author of the New York Times-bestselling nonfiction thriller, The Spy Who Couldn't Spell, and host of the podcast “Scam Likely.”To talk more about his recent reporting, Yudhijit joins Milan on the show this week. They discuss the rags-to-riches backstory of Byju Raveendran, the anxiety Indian families experience around education and career success, and Byju's miraculous rise—and sudden downfall. Plus, the two discuss the larger lessons of this episode for start-ups, investors, and India's future as a consumer market.Episode notes:1. Pradip K.

Book Vs. Movie: The WarriorsSpecial Interview With Screenwriter & Author Rob RyderPlus, a Replay of our 2020 ep! The Margos revisit a special episode dedicated to the cult classic film *The Warriors*, based on Sol Yurick's book. Directed by Walter Hill and released in 1979, the movie was a hit but faced backlash due to real-life gang violence, leading studios to halt its promotion. It became a staple of 1980s television and is now considered a modern classic for its comic book sensibility in depicting urban decay. Yurick wrote the original story in 1965, inspired by his experiences with teenagers while working for New York City's welfare department after college. This episode includes an interview with screenwriter and author Rob Ryder, who contributed to the film and wrote *Purple Fury: Rumbling With the Warriors*.

The Summer of 1988 was filled with BIG, seminal comedies (actually including the movie Big) which were sizeable hits and had long-lasting legacies including Bull Durham, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and previous episodes Midnight Run and A Fish Called Wanda. Kind of lost in the shuffle was this small, quirky mob comedy directed by Jonathan Demme though it did feature a very promising cast including Dean Stockwell, Mercedes Ruehl, Oliver Platt, Alec Baldwin, and Matthew Modine. Leading this cast was the illustrious Michelle Pfeiffer kind of playing against type with BIG hair, a big attitude and a prominent New Yawk accent - she plays Angela, a Long Island housewife who is....you guessed it....married to a mobster played by Baldwin. Things don't end well for her husband so Angela decides to try to start a fresh new life with her son AWAY from the Mob....but not every one is onboard with that including the FBI and local mob boss Tony played by Stockwell in a performance which earned him an Oscar nomination. And hilarity ensues.....

All the cats are in the pod discussing this crazy case from the 80s which was depicted in the movie, Indictment: The McMartin Trial. No, not a documentary but there are a few out there if you want to go bonkers with this and find them. The cats had a few too many cocktails, called in grammy cat, had a guest Tom Cat you will enjoy and veered off topic multiple times but you will get the GIST of this case regardless! Indictment: The McMartin Trial is based on a true story. It was written by Abby Mann and Myra Mann and was directed by Mick Jackson. Oliver Stone and Abby Mann were executive producers.

Our miniseries on the 1980s movies of director Martha Coolidge ends with a look back at her 1988 film Plain Clothes. ----more---- TRANSCRIPT From Los Angeles, California, the Entertainment Capital of the World, it's The 80s Movies Podcast. I am your host, Edward Havens. Thank you for listening today. On this episode, we're going to complete our miniseries on the 1980s films of director Martha Coolidge with her little seen 1988 movie Plain Clothes. When we last left Ms. Coolidge, she had just seen her 1985 film Real Genius get lost in the mix between a number of similarly themed movies, although it would eventually find its audience through home video and repeated cable airings throughout the rest of the decade. Shortly after the release of Real Genius, she would pick out her next project, a comedy mystery called Glory Days. Written by Dan Vining, Glory Days was one of a number of television and movie scripts floating around Hollywood that featured a supposedly young looking cop who goes undercover as a student at a high school. Whatever Coolidge saw in it, she would quickly get to work making it her own, hiring a young writer working at Paramount Studios named A. Scott Frank to help her rewrite the script. Coolidge had been impressed by one of his screenplays, a Neo-noir romantic mystery thriller called Dead Again, and felt Frank was the right person to help her add some extra mystery to the Glory Days screenplay. While Frank and Coolidge would keep some elements of the original Glory Days script, including having the undercover cop's high school identity, Nick Springsteen, be a distant relative of the famous rock star from whose song the script had taken its title. But Coolidge would have Frank add a younger brother for the cop, and add a murdered teacher, who the younger brother is accused of killing, to give the film something extra to work towards. For the cast, Coolidge would go with a mix of newcomers in the main roles, with some industry veterans to fill out the supporting cast. When casting began in early 1987, Coolidge looked at dozens of actors for the lead role of Nick Dunbar, but she was particularly struck by thirty-two year old Arliss Howard, whose film work had been limited to supporting roles in two movies, but was expected to become a star once his role in Stanley Kubrick's next project, Full Metal Jacket, opened later in the summer. Twenty-five year old Suzy Amis, a former model who, like Arlisss, had limited film work in supporting roles, would be cast as Robin, a teacher at the school who Nick develops a crush on while undercover. The supporting cast would include George Wendt from Cheers, Laura Dern's mother Diane Ladd, an Oscar nominee for her role as Flo in Martin Scorsese's Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, veteran character actor Seymour Cassel, an Oscar nominee himself for John Cassavetes' Faces, Robert Stack, the original Elliot Ness who was yet another former Oscar nominee, Harry Shearer, and the great Abe Vigoda. The $7.5m film would begin production in the Seattle metro area on May 6th, 1987 and would last for seven weeks, ending on June 30th. Plain Clothes would open in 193 theatres on April 15th, 1988, including 59 theatres in New York City and eight in Seattle. The reviews would be vicious on the film, with many critics pointing out how ludicrous the plot was, and how distracting it was the filmmakers were trying to pass a thirty two year old actor off as a twenty four year old police officer going undercover as an eighteen year old high school student. Audiences would stay away in droves, with only about 57k people buying a ticket to see the film during the opening three days. A performance so bad, Paramount would end up pulling the film from theatres after seven days at a $289k ticket gross, replacing every screen with another high school-set movie, the similarly-titled Permanent Record, featuring Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Rubin and Kathy Baker, which would also be the final film for Martha Coolidge's regular co-star Michelle Meyrink, who would quit acting the following year and develop an affinity in Zen Buddhism. She would eventually open her own acting studio in her hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia. Not so coincidentally, Martha Coolidge is one of advisory board members of the school. There would be one more movie for Martha Coolidge in the 1980s, a made for television mystery called Trenchcoat in Paradise, featuring Dirk Benedict from Battlestar Galactica and The A-Team, Catherine Oxenberg from Dynasty, and Bruce Dern, but it's not very good and not really work talking about. As the 80s moved into the 90s, Coolidge would continue to work both in television and in motion pictures. In 1991, she would direct her Plain Clothes co-star Diane Ladd alongside Ladd's daughter, Laura Dern, in the Depression-era drama Rambling Rose. But despite unanimous critical consent and Oscar nominations for both Ladd and Dern, the first and only mother-daughter duo to be nominated for the same movie or in the same year, the $7.5m movie would only gross $6.3m. 1993's Lost in Yonkers would be the 23rd film written by Neil Simon, an adaptation of his 1991 Pulitzer Prize-winning play. Actors Irene Worth and Mercedes Ruehl would reprise their Broadway roles for the film, although Richard Dreyfuss would replace Kevin Spacey in the pivotal role as the gangster uncle of two teenage boys who go to live with their aunt after their mother dies. Despite good reviews, the $15m Lost in Yonkers would only gross about $9m. Originally written as a starring vehicle for Madonna, the 1994 romantic-comedy Angie would instead star Geena Davis as an office worker in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, who sets her neighborhood upside-down when she decides to become a single mother. Coolidge's highest budgeted film at $26m, Angie would gross just $9.4m, but would in the years to come become famous for being the first film of James Gandolfini, Michael Rispoli and Aida Turturro, who would all go on to star in five years later. 1995's Three Wishes is a bizarre fantasy drama with Patrick Swayze and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, about two young boys whose mother starts to fall for a mysterious stranger after their father is reported missing during the Korean War. The $10m film would be the worst reviewed movie of Coolidge's career, and would barely gross $7m when it was released. Things would turn around for Coolidge on her next film, Out to Sea. The penultimate film for both Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, this weak but genial romp, according to Janet Maslin of the New York Times, finds the regular co-stars on a Mexico-bound cruise ship, where they must work as dance hosts in order to pay for their trip. Also featuring Golden Girls co-stars Estelle Harris and Rue McClanahan alongside Dyan Cannon and Donald O'Connor, Out to Sea would become her highest grossing film to date, bringing in $29m worth of ticket sales. While she would make a couple more movies, 2004's The Prince and Me and 2006's Material Girls, Coolidge would spend 1999 and the 2000s making her mark on television, directing episodes of CSI, Madame Secretary, Psych and Weeds, amongst dozens of shows, as well as the 1999 HBO film Introducing Dorothy Dandridge, which would not only win its lead star Halle Berry a number of awards including the Emmy, the Golden Globe and the Screen Actors Guild Award, it would be the first screenplay to be produced by a young writer named Shonda Rhimes. Coolidge herself would be nominated for an Emmy and a Golden Globe for Outstanding Directing of a Movie Made for Television. But her biggest achievement in Hollywood would come in 2002, when Coolidge would become the first female President of the Directors Guild of America. And in addition to being an advisor to Michelle Meyrink's acting school, she is also a professor of film studies at Chapman University in Southern California. Thank you for joining us.

Our miniseries on the 1980s movies of director Martha Coolidge ends with a look back at her 1988 film Plain Clothes. ----more---- TRANSCRIPT From Los Angeles, California, the Entertainment Capital of the World, it's The 80s Movies Podcast. I am your host, Edward Havens. Thank you for listening today. On this episode, we're going to complete our miniseries on the 1980s films of director Martha Coolidge with her little seen 1988 movie Plain Clothes. When we last left Ms. Coolidge, she had just seen her 1985 film Real Genius get lost in the mix between a number of similarly themed movies, although it would eventually find its audience through home video and repeated cable airings throughout the rest of the decade. Shortly after the release of Real Genius, she would pick out her next project, a comedy mystery called Glory Days. Written by Dan Vining, Glory Days was one of a number of television and movie scripts floating around Hollywood that featured a supposedly young looking cop who goes undercover as a student at a high school. Whatever Coolidge saw in it, she would quickly get to work making it her own, hiring a young writer working at Paramount Studios named A. Scott Frank to help her rewrite the script. Coolidge had been impressed by one of his screenplays, a Neo-noir romantic mystery thriller called Dead Again, and felt Frank was the right person to help her add some extra mystery to the Glory Days screenplay. While Frank and Coolidge would keep some elements of the original Glory Days script, including having the undercover cop's high school identity, Nick Springsteen, be a distant relative of the famous rock star from whose song the script had taken its title. But Coolidge would have Frank add a younger brother for the cop, and add a murdered teacher, who the younger brother is accused of killing, to give the film something extra to work towards. For the cast, Coolidge would go with a mix of newcomers in the main roles, with some industry veterans to fill out the supporting cast. When casting began in early 1987, Coolidge looked at dozens of actors for the lead role of Nick Dunbar, but she was particularly struck by thirty-two year old Arliss Howard, whose film work had been limited to supporting roles in two movies, but was expected to become a star once his role in Stanley Kubrick's next project, Full Metal Jacket, opened later in the summer. Twenty-five year old Suzy Amis, a former model who, like Arlisss, had limited film work in supporting roles, would be cast as Robin, a teacher at the school who Nick develops a crush on while undercover. The supporting cast would include George Wendt from Cheers, Laura Dern's mother Diane Ladd, an Oscar nominee for her role as Flo in Martin Scorsese's Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, veteran character actor Seymour Cassel, an Oscar nominee himself for John Cassavetes' Faces, Robert Stack, the original Elliot Ness who was yet another former Oscar nominee, Harry Shearer, and the great Abe Vigoda. The $7.5m film would begin production in the Seattle metro area on May 6th, 1987 and would last for seven weeks, ending on June 30th. Plain Clothes would open in 193 theatres on April 15th, 1988, including 59 theatres in New York City and eight in Seattle. The reviews would be vicious on the film, with many critics pointing out how ludicrous the plot was, and how distracting it was the filmmakers were trying to pass a thirty two year old actor off as a twenty four year old police officer going undercover as an eighteen year old high school student. Audiences would stay away in droves, with only about 57k people buying a ticket to see the film during the opening three days. A performance so bad, Paramount would end up pulling the film from theatres after seven days at a $289k ticket gross, replacing every screen with another high school-set movie, the similarly-titled Permanent Record, featuring Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Rubin and Kathy Baker, which would also be the final film for Martha Coolidge's regular co-star Michelle Meyrink, who would quit acting the following year and develop an affinity in Zen Buddhism. She would eventually open her own acting studio in her hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia. Not so coincidentally, Martha Coolidge is one of advisory board members of the school. There would be one more movie for Martha Coolidge in the 1980s, a made for television mystery called Trenchcoat in Paradise, featuring Dirk Benedict from Battlestar Galactica and The A-Team, Catherine Oxenberg from Dynasty, and Bruce Dern, but it's not very good and not really work talking about. As the 80s moved into the 90s, Coolidge would continue to work both in television and in motion pictures. In 1991, she would direct her Plain Clothes co-star Diane Ladd alongside Ladd's daughter, Laura Dern, in the Depression-era drama Rambling Rose. But despite unanimous critical consent and Oscar nominations for both Ladd and Dern, the first and only mother-daughter duo to be nominated for the same movie or in the same year, the $7.5m movie would only gross $6.3m. 1993's Lost in Yonkers would be the 23rd film written by Neil Simon, an adaptation of his 1991 Pulitzer Prize-winning play.

For the first time in Hit Factory history, we're recording from separate locales to discuss Terry Gilliam's 1991 fantasy drama 'The Fisher King'. We discuss the bevy of brilliant performances (including an Oscar-winning turn from the great Mercedes Ruehl), Gilliam's singular ability to effortlessly navigate his film's disparate tones, and the subversive empathy the film employs in its consideration of people who occupy the margins of society.Get access to this entire episode as well as all of our premium episodes and bonus content by becoming a Hit Factory Patron for just $5/month.....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish
Has Robin Williams ever been more “Robin Williams” than in The Fisher King? Yes, back in 1991, Robin gave audiences everything: the comedy, the drama, the furry, full-frontal nudity. The movie also gave Brian and Christina full-on “pop culture PTSD” via a graphic nightclub-shooting scene. Yes, this kinda-complicated tale of a former shock-jock seeking redemption from a homeless man shook audiences with a variety of themes and an Oscar-winning performance by Mercedes Ruehl. Now, over 30 years later, does the film's topsy-turvy tone still land on its feet? Does Mercedes still...rule? (Wow.) And, can Brian and Christina watch “the scene” with open eyes...and full stomachs? The Old Roommates search for the holy grail and re-watch Terry Gilliam's opus.

The script came easily to Gary Ross & Anne Spielberg, but finding the right team and cast to make Big still took some time. By the time the film released in theatres, it was the fourth body-switching comedy to come out in a few years, even though it had been the first to be greenlit. But the script was smart and didn't truck in dumb jokes, the casting was impeccable, and Penny Marshall found a way to navigate the fantasy and romantic nature of the film, and because of all these things, this film is the body-switching comedy from the late 80s that people still talk about. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our John Heard series with Marshall's 1988 film Big. We're big on Big It's hard to argue that Tom Hanks' career moved to new level with his performance in this film. He's perfect in this film, playing brilliantly a 13-year-old in a 30-year-old's body. But a lot of the success comes from Penny Marshall's comedy smarts when capturing this story by avoiding the easy jokes. It doesn't hurt that Hanks has Elizabeth Perkins, Robert Loggia, and the man bringing this series together –John Heard – to work with as they all carry their weight. It's interesting, however, to read the names of the other actors' names mentioned for the roles. Robert De Niro? Really? And then there's David Moscow as young Josh and Jared Rushton as Billy, the two kids in the film who create the core childlike center of the film and ground it in youth. It works. We do talk about the troubling aspect of Susan sleeping with a 13-year-old kid – even if she didn't know he was only 13. How does that hold up? And what was poor Mercedes Ruehl doing the whole time he was gone? There are definitely darker aspects to this film, but again, Marshall smartly focuses on the Josh's story and makes it work. It's a wonderful film. We have a great time talking about it and are happy to enter it into our library of shows, so check it out then tune in.

Murray Abraham in Jules Feiffer's A Bad Friend, an evening celebrating the playwright's 90th birthday. At the Drew he's directed and produced such plays as Romeo & Juliet, Extinction, Steve Martin's The Underpants, All My Sons starring Laurie Metcalf and Alec Baldwin; Clever Little Lies starring Marlo Thomas; Tony Walton's productions of Tonight at 8:30 starring Blythe Danner, Equus starring Alec Baldwin and Moby Dick Rehearsed starring Peter Boyle; and The Glass Menagerie starring Amy Irving. Regional credits include Children's Theatre Co.; Shakespeare Theatre, DC; and four seasons as Artistic Director of Hamptons Shakespeare Festival.www.creativeprocess.info
"Laurie Anderson, Leslie Odom Jr. from Hamilton was here a couple of years ago. It was fantastic. Judd Hirsch. I got a chance to drive in my car with Charles Durning and Jack Klugman, two character actors that I admired all my life. It was a surreal experience.When I got here, I started to do some of the Shakespeare plays, working sometimes with kids from the community and professional artists. Michael Nathanson played Hamlet with us in 2005. Alec Baldwin, Eric Bogosian, Jeffrey Tambor, Anne Jackson and Eli Wallach, who lived in East Hampton about two blocks from here. They were involved in the John Drew Theater from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Through much of their lives, they were lifetime performers at Guild Hall, always in the summer doing a little something. Eli worked up until his 90s, and he was still working, as sharp as a tack. There have been so many artists here. Two summers ago, Questlove was here interviewing Jerry Seinfield on the stage and Alec Baldwin has been our board president for a number of years. He liked the renovations. He liked the show that Harris Yulin did with Amy Irving. He loved The Glass Menagerie and he loved the renovation. So he said, I want to get involved with you guys. The Hamptons is a wonderfully welcoming place to make art. I think going back to the time of Jackon Pollock and before him the tile painters, this has been an artist colony. And I think there is still a spirit of that around."Josh Gladstone has served as Artistic Director of the John Drew Theater at Guild Hall since 2000 where most recently he directed Alec Baldwin, Blair Underwood and Rob Morrow in the comedy Stan The Man by Eugene Pack, and acted alongside Mercedes Ruehl and F.

Jack was a successful shock jock until one flippant remark toward a caller set off events that would lead to the caller killing several people and himself at a restaurant. Now Jack is helping run a small video store with his girlfriend. One night during a drunken bender, Jack is saved by Parry, a homeless man who has spiraled into madness because of a severe trauma. But is Parry there to save Jack, or the other way around? Jeff Bridges, Robin Williams, Mercedes Ruehl, and Amanda Plummer star in The Fisher King. Trailer:
Terry Gilliam's tragicomic The Fisher King packs in a lot of themes, but a big one is kindness. This is a movie all about empathy and acceptance. Also, how often do Hollywood movies show much of the plight of homeless people? Or deal with depression and suicide? Or show our indifference to the suffering of others AND to blend all that serious material with absurdity and humour? Gilliam likes his weirdos and underdogs too. Oh, and he loves to dirty up his movie stars, all of whom are pretty awesome in this. Mercedes Ruehl won an Oscar while Robin Williams was nominated for one, but Jeff Bridges and Amanda Plummer do strong work of their own. Actually, you could argue that the women have more interesting characters to play than the men do. So acknowledge that you ARE responsible for what you say and how you treat others while you waltz through a train station with the 415th Ellises' Analysis trilling in your ears.

Book Vs Movie: “Heartburn” The “Nora Ephron is a Queen” Episode Norah Ephron was one of the most celebrated writers of the 20th Century from her work as an essayist for Esquire to her best-selling novels and screenplays for classic films. She has been honored with Academy Awards, Writer's Guild Awards, and BAFTAs. She was a food writer and movie director. Known for being tough and uncompromising (who fired a child actor after his day on the set of Sleepless in Seattle!) Yet she was a total romantic who enjoyed a happy marriage with fellow writer Nicholas Pileggi. Her first novel, Heartburn, came out in 1983 and was based on her tumultuous marriage to reporter Carl Bernstein (we talked him in our All the President's Men episode) which ended when he had an affair during her second pregnancy. The “power couple” split and the divorce took years to happen. Mainly because Berstein was concerned about how he would be played in the movie directed by Mike Nichols. Ephron wrote the screenplay for the 1986 film and due to her divorce decree, she had to make sure the character filling for Bernstein (called “Mark Feldman” as a maybe-nod to Mark Felt. The real “Deep Throat” source for Watergate) had to be portrayed as not a jerk. Nichols and Jack Nicholson (who played the Mark Feldman part) were a part of the divorce negotiations. Meryl Streep gives an amazing performance as “Rachel Samstat” who loves her husband even though he is having an affair while she is in her second trimester. It's frustrating to hear her character lose her voice in this translation--but we will talk ALL about that in this episode plus the awful reviews some male critics gave the film. Mostly we talk about the wonderful Norah Ephron and why she is one of the wisest, funniest, and most romantic writers of her generation. So, between the novel and the movie--which did we prefer? (Honestly, it is not going to even be close but have a listen anyway!) In this ep the Margos discuss: The incredible life of Norah Ephron Her most famous films including When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail. Carl Bernstein's unusual divorce/lawsuit demands The cast: Meryl Street (Rachel Samstat,) Jack Nicholson (Jack Forman,)Stockard Channing (Julie Siegel,) Jeff Daniels (Richard,) Milos Forman (Dmitri,) Steven Hill (Harry Samstat,) Catherine O'Hara (Betty,) Mamie Gummer (Annie,) Maureen Stapleton (Vera,) and Mercedes Ruehl as Eve.

This Pfriday's episode is brought to you by the letter M: Michelle, Mercedes, and Matthew Modine all starring in the crime comedy MARRIED TO THE MOB. We are joined by the pfabulous Laura Saladino to discuss the many joys this pfilm has to offer: how refreshing it feels to watch a female-led mob movie, Michelle's sweetly unique performance, Mercedes Ruehl's unhinged hilarity, and, of course, the iconic hair and costumes. We also take a long look at the stacked actress line-ups of 1988 awards shows (including Michelle's first Golden Globe nomination), and the gift that was Jonathan Demme. It's time to Mambo Italiano.

Endlich! Es wird wieder gedreht! Andreas Guenther bringt uns Töne vom Polizeiruf-Set mit. Aber ohne Charly Hübner? Kristian Thees will außerdem wissen, wann Andreas zum Staatsschauspieler ernannt wird? Und wie war das damals als Fahrer am Set? Nur beim Thema Oscars werden sich die beiden nicht ganz einig. Aber ist denn ein Oscar nun eigentlich eine Erfolgsgarantie? Wie war das bei Mercedes Ruehl? Und wie bei Christoph Waltz?
In 1991, Terry Gilliam once again shared his special brain with us when he released The Fisher King. The Fisher King is a dramedy telling the story of a disgraced star radio shock-jock who goes on a quest to help repair the life of a man that he inadvertently ruined, and in the process, finds redemption for himself. This film made a humble $42 million on a $24 million budget, was nominated for various Academy Awards (including a win for Mercedes Ruehl), and utilized a stellar cast to bring it to life featuring: Jeff Bridges, Robin Williams, Mercedes Ruehl, Amanda Plummer, and Michael Jeter among other notable faces and names. But, does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent discuss the joys of insanity as we try to figure out if this is a worthy quest or a fool's errand.
This week we extend the Director's Revenge Festivals with a Forgotten Gem and masterpiece of the wonderful mind of Terry Gilliam. The story of a shock-jock who gets entangled in tragic events with a homeless man. This delightful film also has an all-star cast of Jeff Bridges, Robin Williams, Mercedes Ruehl and Amanda Plummer.

I discuss and review the 1991 film “The Fisher King”. Its the story of a self absorbed radio talk show host whose life is shattered by a violent event and his freindship with a homeless man and their search for the Holy Grail.

Seemingly, a action film with barely any action.The boys grab their magic tickets and dive deep into every facet of development leading to the release of this film and converse whether or not a character named Leo La Fart is funny. As both a critical and commercial disappointment, Last Action Hero played chicken with the juggernaut, Jurassic Park , and lost badly but was this the only reason why the film did not work?

Murray Abraham, Art Carney, Frank McRae, Charles Dance, Tom Noonan, Robert Proskey, Anthony Quinn, Mercedes Ruehl, Austion O’Brien, and Ian McKellen.

Book Vs Movie The Warriors (Yes, the Cult Classic Film is Based on a Book!) The Margos are picking out our costumes for this special episode devoted to the cult classic The Warriors (yes, it was based on a book by Sol Yurick.) The movie, directed by Walter Hill, was a hit when it was released in 1979, but the glory of that was marred by real-life gang violence at the time which caused the movie studios to cease advertising the film. It was a staple of syndicated television throughout the 80s and is considered a modern classic and one of the earliest films to bring a comic book sensibility to urban decay. Yurick wrote the original story in 1965 and based it on his experience working for the welfare department in New York City after graduating college in the 1940s. He became fascinated by the teenagers he met and how they navigated living in a big city. (At the time, the term “juvenile delinquent” was used to describe young people who got into trouble.) The basis for the story is a fictional account of gang life and the Greek story Anabasis. In the mid-1970s, producer Lawrence Gordon bought the rights to the book and Paramount Pictures became the home of the film adaptation. There are several differences between the book and film including the names and costumes of the multitude of gangs and its depiction of women. So between the book and the movie, which did we like better? Click on the link below to find out! In this ep the Margos discuss: The life story of Sol Yurick New York City in the 1960s and 1970s Trivia about the shooting of the film The cast which includes: Michael Beck (Swan,) James Remar (Ajax,) Dorsey Wright (Cleon,) Brian Tyler (Snow,) David Harris (Cochise,) Tom McKitterick (Cowboy,) Marcelino Sanchez (Rembrandt,) Terry Michos (Vermin,) Deborah Van Valkenburgh (Mercy,) Roger Hill (Cyrus,) David Patrick Kelly (Luther,) Lynne Thigpen (D.J.,) and Mercedes Ruehl (policewoman.)

This week's Throwback Thursday episode we review the 1988 comedy classic Big! Starring Tom Hanks, Elizabeth Perkins, Mercedes Ruehl, and Robert Loggia.
"Moving On March" continues at Catching Up On Cinema, as dip our toes into the illustrious filmography of the late Robin Williams in a form of a review of The Fisher King (1991)! In addition to stellar cast consisting of the likes of Jeff Bridges and Mercedes Ruehl, the film is directed by Terry Gilliam and is possessed of all the whimsical and aesthetic flair that has long been his trademark. While far from a career defining role, Robin Williams gives a multilayered and heart filled performance in the film that demonstrates his tremendous versatility as an actor.
Get your magic ticket ready, we're going beyond the screen with LAST ACTION HERO! Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Austin O'Brien, Last Action Hero is the story of a boy who spends way too much time in a creepy old movie theatre and ends up getting sucked into the world of a movie. Also starring Mercedes Ruehl, F. Murray Abraham, Charles Dance and hey isn't that Tina Turner? This movie transported us to a magical place when we were younger, but how does it hold up now?

Anna Chlumsky has received six consecutive supporting comedy actress Emmy nominations as Amy Brookheimer on HBO’s award-dominating political satire “Veep,” from Armando Iannucci, David Mandel, and producer-star Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Breaking into the industry as a child star in “My Girl,” Anna didn’t come around to the idea of pursuing acting passionately until after a much-needed hiatus at the University of Chicago and in the publishing industry. Then she was inspired by Mercedes Ruehl onstage and eventually began training, working off-off-Broadway, and appearing on camera again.

When you were 12, did you ever wish you were bigger? And did you also ever wish to make your mom think you got kidnapped and that a 30-something brash woman with smoker's breath would have sex with you while also pretending to be your new mommy? If so, then the 1988 Penny Marshall movie "Big" starring Tom Hanks is right up your alley. Sure, the sickly sweet score, oversized piano dancing, cushy job at a toy company, and silly-string fights make this film feel like a light-hearted age-swap romp, but when you actually look at what this movie is about, it feels more like a horror movie. Hanks plays Josh Baskin, a kid who made a wish on a racist fortune teller machine and then aged about 20 years overnight. He's obsessed with little kid toys even though he's weeks away from turning 13, and he doesn't seem to mind pretending to be his own kidnapper to his distraught mother faster than he can say, "I'm technically getting molested by my co-worker!" Elizabeth Perkins plays Susan Lawrence, Josh's said jaded, workaholic, man-eating, 30-something co-worker who falls for a man with the mind of a 12-year-old boy and doesn't seem all that fazed when she finds out he actually is 12 years old. Robert Loggia plays Mr. MacMillan, the aloof owner of the toy company Josh quickly climbs the ladder of, whose entire character is to pretend that every innocent and dumb thing that comes out of Josh's mouth is somehow insightful and refreshing even when they're not. To round out the cast, we have John Heard (the dad from "Home Alone") as Hank's one-sided rival, Mercedes Ruehl as Josh's super sad mother, and Jared Rushton (one of the shrunken kids in "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids") as Josh's wily best friend, Billy Kopecki. Join us discuss all the 26 minutes of weird scenes that were added to the "extended cut" of this movie, wonder why the police don't seem to care much that the young Josh is missing, and question how Tom Hanks' version of Josh is able to get a bank account and rent an expensive apartment without even knowing his own social security number.

Meryl Streep and The Movies with Zachary Scot Johnson and Maryl McNally
Longtime friends and fans Zachary Scot Johnson (www.zacharyscotjohnson.com) and Maryl McNally (www.neverlandtheatre.org) discuss Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson's performances (and completely untrue, rumored offscreen affair) in Mike Nichols' 1986 comedy? "Heartburn". This film co-stars Jeff Daniels, Stockard Channing, Joanna Gleason, Kevin Spacey, Catherine O'Hara, Mercedes Ruehl, Richard Masur and more. This week's 6 degrees of Meryl features Emma Watson. Next episode will feature veteran character actor Stacy Keach, whom Zach is interviewing for his other podcast, The Joni Mitchell Podcast. Send us your answers at MerylStreepPodcast@gmail.com and please remember to rate, review and subscribe to this podcast. Next episode will feature a discussion of "Before and After", one of Meryl's mid-90's projects, with Liam Neeson.
We watched this movie so you don't have to: in the 1980s Manhattan art scene, Bernadette Peters is a bohemian babe whose lack of funds keep her in slave-like subservience to a chauvinist brat who just happens to be in possession of his own loft apartment (and a set of very appealing lean twink-muscles). But all she really wants to do is make her own (crazy-as-fuck) hats. [Ed. Note: none of this is important.] SLAVES OF NEW YORK may not seem like your typical Merchant-Ivory flick but it's actually a costume drama - only this time the costumes feature day-glo colors, shoulder pads, teased-out hair, and orange eye shadow. Based on zeitgeisty stories by scene queen Tama Janowitz, this has been at the top of Brian and Seán's viewing queue for some time. They expected a mess of film'sa movie with "up-to-minute" satire that had dated faster than a plate of sashimi. What they got was a surprising cavalcade of stars -- including Mercedes Ruehl, Stanley Tucci, and Steve Buscemi -- wandering around parties and fashion shows looking for some kind of plot. You may never watch this film, but we think you'll love this episode. Like the source material, it's aimless, brainless, and tragically hip. Hold the wasabi? We'd love to!

Em uma homenagem tardia para Robin Williams, Tiago Lira, o Tigre (@tiagoplira) e Marcelo Zagnoli (@marcelozagnoli) conversam sobre a comédia e o drama de O Pescador de Ilusões (The Fisher King, 1991, Dir Terry Gilliam). Discutimos licenças poéticas, a flutuação entre momentos engraçados e tristes, símbolos e as interpretações de Jeff Bridges, Mercedes Ruehl, Amanda Plummer e do próprio Williams. E lembramos, rapidamente, a filmografia desse grande ator que, assim como o filme, oscilava nos seus papéis entre o drama e a comédia. E como ele fará falta para nós. E, como sempre, spoilers liberados! :)

After the financial disaster that was 'The Adventures of Baron Munchausen,' Terry Gilliam needed a way to prove to the studio brass that he could make a great movie that was on budget and made money at the box office. He found it in 'The Fisher King,' the film he made and released in 1991. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we continue our Terry Gilliam series with the fantastic 'The Fisher King.' We talk about why this film works so well for us, even if Roger Ebert clearly didn't click with it. We discuss the brilliant 4 leads in the film — Jeff Bridges, Robin Williams, Mercedes Ruehl and Amanda Plummer — and look at what each of them bring to their own roles that make them work so well. We chat about the brilliance of Richard LaGravenese's script and how honest he portrays the characters yet how efficient the script is as well, giving full portrayals of characters even for minor characters (like the brilliant Michael Jeter). And we cover how this film succeeded at the box office and even gathered a handful of Oscar nominations, showing people that Gilliam can make films that make money. It's a wonderful film that we have a great time talking about. Tune in! Hey! You know what would be awesome? If you would drop us a positive rating on iTunes! If you like what we're doing here on TNR, it really is the best way to make sure that this show appears when others search for it, plus, it's just a nice thing to do. Thanks!!
