Podcasts about Michael Gough

Welcome back to The Overlooked Dark Knight, the podcast that shines a light on Batman stories hardly anyone talks about! Which is an outright lie this time out. Again. 30 years ago, this week, Batman Forever was released to theaters. It was kind of a big deal and in the three decades since it came out the film has become either beloved, the source of much mockery, or a mix of the two. Andy and Mike take an almost two-hour look at the film and, as usual, they do so from stem to stern. Val Kilmer as Batman. Chris O'Donnell as Robin. Jim Carey as The Riddler. Tommy Lee Jones as someone called Harvey Two Face. Nicole Kidman as Chase Meridian. Michael Gough as Alfred. Everyone gets a spotlight, as does the story, the set design, the score, and more. They also have a short conversation about the songs that were on the soundtrack but weren't, in some cases, in the movie. It was a lot of fun. This episode was recorded before the untimely death of Val Kilmer. Mike address it at the beginning of the episode but just in case you missed him talking about it, that's why Andy and Mike don't talk about during the course of their conversation.  Andy and Mike want your feedback on this episode so they can read it on an upcoming show!  You even have options in how you leave your feedback.  The most direct way is to leave a comment right here on the site.  You can also send all questions, concerns, fears and trepidations to overlookeddarkknight@gmail.com.  Then there' the Facebook page, where you can also leave a Batman related question for Andy and Mike to answer at the beginning of the show.  If you talk about this show on the social medias please include a #overlookeddk so the guys know where to find it. Next Time: Andy and Mike talk about the novelization for Batman Forever. Plus, the toys and some of the other merch from the film.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! Nate and Jet move on to jolly ol' England for the penultimate stop on the Monster Island World Tour, but it's to discuss the sleaziest of the 1961 European kaiju movies: Konga. Thankfully, Nate is joined by the co-hosts of the podcast Record All Monsters (and...fugitives...?), who un-ironically like this movie. While it's a King Kong "knockoff," the studio paid RKO $25,000 for the rights. Not to mention, aside from featuring a giant gorilla (for 15 minutes) who carries humans in his hand, it has almost nothing in common with Kong. But hey, it has Michael Gough (aka Alfred Pennyworth) in it! The Toku Topic, appropriately, is the mad scientist archetype. "Jimmy's Notes" on this episode COMING SOON!

ST. PETERSBURG, FL - ICA (Intelligent Communication Assistant), a communications security and AI assistant platform, took center stage at the Cloud Communications Alliance's Cloud Connections 2025 event with a solution aimed at eliminating robocalls, scams, and fragmented branded calling experiences. Michael Gough, founder of ICA, presented during the event's inaugural product showcase and outlined how the platform leverages artificial intelligence to identify unwanted or fraudulent communications in real time. “There are more than 40 billion robocalls, 20 billion scam texts and a trillion phishing attempts annually,” said Gough. “We're at an inflection point. ICA brings together voice, text, email and branded calling into one AI-powered framework.” Gough explained that ICA works similarly to navigation apps like Waze, learning from user behavior across a distributed network. When a robocaller or scammer contacts one ICA user, the behavior is analyzed and logged so that future calls from the same entity can be blocked systemwide. Unlike existing solutions such as STIR/SHAKEN, which Gough noted cannot cover all traffic types or legacy systems like TDM, ICA uses behavioral fingerprinting and network metadata to make real-time determinations about the legitimacy of a call or message. For calls from known and trusted sources such as a school or hospital, ICA allows communication to pass through without interruption. Beyond fraud detection, ICA also serves as a digital assistant, with features such as calendar-aware call handling, automated appointment scheduling, and adaptive call routing based on user preferences. Gough said ICA is currently available via licensing partnerships and is seeking additional partners, such as service providers, CPaaS platforms, and branded calling vendors. “We're here to complement and enhance the systems they already have in place,” he said. The company's website, myica.ai, provides more details about its offerings and partner opportunities.

An American rock star gets caught up in intrigue in Cold War East Germany. Or is it World War II? Nazis, Communists, whatever, right guys? Anyway, from the guys who made Airplane, it's "what if Elvis made a spy movie", and it's pretty good. Starring Val Kilmer, Lucy Gutteridge, Omar Sharif, Michael Gough, Jeremy Kemp, and one very odd cameo from Peter Cushing. Written by Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, Jerry Zucker, and Martyn Burke. Directed by Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker.

“This isn't just tech—it's protection for your mother, your daughter, your entire community. And no one else is doing it like this.” — Michael Gough, Intelligent Communication Assistant (ICA) Imagine a world where every ring, ping, or notification is trusted—and no one wastes time dodging robocalls or deleting spam. That's the world ICA (pronounced “Ikah”) is building. In a recent Technology Reseller News podcast, Michael Gough, Sales and Marketing Leader at ICA, previewed the company's upcoming live demo at the Cloud Communications Alliance's Cloud Connections Conference, taking place April 14–16 in St. Petersburg. ICA will demonstrate what Gough calls the first true AI platform in telecommunications—a system designed to make digital deception impossible, without violating privacy laws, introducing new FCC rules, or requiring user intervention. “ICA restores an era when users could communicate without interruption from unwanted calls, texts, emails, or videos,” said Gough. At its core, ICA isn't just another call filter or branded caller ID feature. It's a patented behavioral AI engine that uses graph neural networks to assess communication attempts across voice, SMS, email, and social media. It then blocks, redirects, or engages the sender—sometimes with a convincing digital assistant that wastes scammer time and discourages future attempts. In a live demo, Gough showed how ICA rerouted a scammer to an intelligent voice assistant that feigned interest, dragging the call out until it became financially unviable for the spammer to continue. Another demo illustrated ICA's intelligence in recognizing legitimate contacts—even scanning social graphs to validate the relationship between caller and recipient, proving its capability in real-time communication vetting. The need is massive: 29% of U.S. cellular calls in Q4 2024 were spam. Over 4.7 million robocalls were placed in January 2025 alone. In February 2025, Americans received 19.2 billion spam texts. Every day, there are 3.4 billion phishing emails and 160 billion spam emails—46% of all email traffic. While STIR/SHAKEN and branded calling offer some protection, they are limited. Branded calling works only on select mobile devices and is vulnerable to impersonation. STIR/SHAKEN doesn't always function when calls cross from TDM to IP networks. And neither applies to email, SMS, or social media. “Branded calling works on mobile, and STIR/SHAKEN only works part of the time. ICA enhances both—and works across all platforms,” explained Gough. Unlike point solutions, ICA is designed to sit across communication ecosystems. It integrates with carrier and platform infrastructure through APIs, simplifying global deployments. Built on open standards from the Camara project and supported by the ADURA API aggregation framework, ICA offers a single integration point for global reach. Whether deployed as a platform-as-a-service or software-as-a-service, ICA provides a crawl-walk-run path that helps carriers begin protecting their networks immediately. For a limited number of partners participating at Cloud Connections, ICA is offering full implementation at no cost. “We're offering a handful of select platforms a chance to deploy ICA free of charge—and we'll even help with implementation,” said Gough. What sets ICA apart is not just detection, but disruption. By making scams financially pointless—tying up scammer resources and blocking unwanted traffic before it hits users—ICA dismantles the economic model that makes robocalling, smishing, and phishing profitable. “With ICA, we're not just enhancing telecom security,” said Gough. “We're creating a future where communication is smarter, safer, and free from disruption.” To see ICA in action, catch their live demo on April 15 at the Cloud Connections Conference in St. Petersburg.

Cloud Communications Alliance Preview | Technology Reseller News Podcast “It's not just a deterrent—it's a disincentive. We make robocalls so expensive, scammers stop calling.” — Michael Gough, ICA, Intelligent Communications Assistant. With the Cloud Connections Conference just days away (April 14–16 in St. Petersburg), both the Technology Reseller News and Cloud Communications Alliance communities are tuning in. On this special joint podcast episode, Doug Green, publisher of TR News, welcomed Michael Gough, CEO of ICA, one of five handpicked presenters in the upcoming CCA Solutions Showcase. And what Michael brought was more than just a preview—it was a live demonstration of how ICA is changing the game in communications security. One Platform to Block Them All “Too many robocalls. Too much spam. Too many scam texts,” said Gough. “Branded calling helps, and STIR/SHAKEN helps—but only a little, and only sometimes.” ICA's platform changes that by combining behavioral analysis, graph neural networks, and a cross-channel approach to stop spam across voice, SMS, email, and social media—without invading user privacy. In a live demo, Gough showed how ICA's digital assistant traps and stalls bad actors with lifelike conversations. “We call it scam the scammer,” he said. “They waste time, lose money, and stop calling.” A Better Call Experience—Everywhere Unlike legacy solutions, ICA works across all major communications platforms. The system distinguishes between contacts using relationship signals—like shared social media links or known contacts—and then filters calls accordingly. In a second demo, Gough showed how ICA intelligently handled a call from a trusted contact, verifying the reason for the call and sending a message when the recipient wasn't available. “It's seamless for the people you know and smart for the ones you don't,” Gough explained. Looking for Partners At Cloud Connections, ICA is actively seeking three new partners to integrate its technology. “This isn't vaporware,” Gough said. “We're already live. We're just looking to scale.” That's the power of CCA's event model, Doug Green noted. “This isn't a trade show. It's a connections event—and ICA is a perfect example of what happens when innovation meets the right audience.” Learn More Don't miss Michael Gough's live demo on April 15 at the Cloud Connections Conference.

With Halloween only 21 days away, folk horror blogger Rowan Lee joins us to discuss a pair of offbeat Brit horror movies with totally loaded casts. First, Peter Cushing discovers that the humanoid fossil he discovered in New Guinea transforms into the slimy embodiment of pure evil when you just add water in THE CREEPING FLESH (1973). In a film with f--d-up family dynamics, Cushing almost immediately injects cells from his creepy skeleton's newly formed flesh into his young daughter (Lorna Heilbron) in a hair-brained attempt to inoculate her against evil. Christopher Lee is Cushing's hyper-competitive half-brother who mismanages a mental hospital and decides that stealing the fossil during a rainstorm is a great idea. What could go wrong? Directed by Hammer veteran Freddie Francis (DRACULA HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE), who went on to late-career success as the director of photography of three David Lynch movies (ELEPHANT MAN, DUNE, THE STRAIGHT STORY) and Scorsese's remake of CAPE FEAR. Next, Christopher Lee teams up with the great Boris Karloff and 60s scream queen Barbara Steele in THE CRIMSON CULT aka CURSE OF THE CRIMSON ALTAR (1968). This one starts off with a bang with psychedelic sex parties and pagan sacrifices, so as Greg suggests, get high quick because the movie soon gives way too much screen time to Mark Eden as a dense antiques dealer looking for his brother where everyone is losing their minds (and articles of clothing) over anniversary of the burning of the witch Lavinia (Steele). I mean, um, Christopher Lee is right there! Also starring Michael Gough who played Alfred in the Tim Burton BATMAN movies. Both of our films today are from Tigon British Film Releasing Productions, the studio that released two folk horror classics: THE WITCHFINDER GENERAL (1968) and THE BLOOD ON SATAN'S CLAW (1971) along with some sex comedies.

The guys start a theme of vintage horror anthologies and they start with Amicus' first one, Dr Terror's House of Horrors starring Peter Cushing, Christopher, Lee, Donald Sutherland, and Michael Gough.

Andy and Martin travel back in time to the summer of 1965 and the adventures of HR consultant Drew Heriot and his sister-in-law Anne as they face up to the machinations of 'Undermind': aliens who have brainwashed British citizens in order to cause national unrest ahead of their imminent invasion. Their various schemes include: spreading pirate radio misinformation; inciting youth violence in a seaside resort; influencing the works of a popular children's author; the distribution of suicide-inducing birthday records; interference with the printing of exam papers, and most abominably of all, the assassination of Eamonn Andrews! Yes, really. Starring Jeremy Wilkin (best known as Kellman in Revenge of the Cybermen) and Rosemary Nichols (Annabelle in ITC's Department S) Undermind is an, often overlooked, sci-fi oddity created and ‘evolved by' Robert Banks Stewart and written by many familiar Doctor Who writers including Bill Strutton, David Whitaker and Robert Holmes. Other regular cast members were John Barron and Denis Quilley, while big name guest stars included Michael Gough, Peter Barkworth, Barrie Ingham, Judy Parfitt, Derek Francis and Philip Latham. Although there is much to enjoy here, the series' convoluted and sometimes incoherent plots tend to undermine (geddit?) its overall feel. Join Andy and Martin as they attempt to review all 11 episodes in 2 hours! And find out which of them was brainwashed into drawing Mulligatawny (a one-eyed turd with claws) while making their notes.

The revamped Review It Yourself continues. The podcast with the sigh. Film reviews for the eternally unimpressed. Will Sean and Sarah remain unimpressed by this week's film, Dracula (1958)? Film summary: "There's no Whitby, there's no ship, there's no Demeter, there's no bats, there's no wolves, there's only one out of the three brides, and they whittled it down and took out a lot of the supernatural and in a way distilled it to this really, really great film and great simple story through necessity of we don't have the money for it". Discussion Points: -Sarah brings in her extensive knowledge of the depiction of vampires. -Painkillers appear to make Sean even more rambly and scatter-gun in his approach, enjoy! -Sean brings Blu-Ray documentary trivia about the film's production. -The Hammer Horror formula and the introduction of more salacious elements. -The performances of Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Melissa Stribling, Carol Marsh, John Van Eyssen and Michael Gough. -The difficulty in adapting Bram Stoker's novel. -Ingenuity from necessity. -The lack of horror clichés. -Sean brings Natasha Kaplinsky trivia (She's the President not the Vice President*). Raised Questions: -Did streamlining the novel make the film better? -Should studios today make only one film at a time? -Are budget constraints sometimes a good thing? -Can you fake screen presence? -Did you spot the redressing of the same set? -Are horror films more frightening when things are more plausible? -Who will be his Bride to-night? -Why are Technicolor films the most beautiful looking films ever made? -Did Gary Oldman's Dracula (1992) accidentally leave his rollers in? -Will anyone be watching Jordan Peele's Nope in 70 years?

Swish your flappy capes and check your weight as we swing into Tim Burton's 1989 comic book classic Batman. Forget the best Batman competition, is Michael Keaton the best Bruce Wayne? Who decided it's ok for a grown woman to pretend she weighs just 108 pounds? Is this Nicholson at his silliest? And what did we do to deserve Prince and his soundtrack genius? We'll give you all the answers after we dance with the devil in the pale moonlight. 

What happens when you combine the directing trio (Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, Jerry Zucker) behind the spoof smash Airplane , the on-screen debut of one of the beloved movie stars of his generation (Val Kilmer), one of the most acclaimed actors/movie stars of HIS generation (Omar Shariff), satire focusing on World War II spy dramas, musical numbers satirizing Elvis road comedies, one underwater Western saloon fight, AND one extended sequence playing on misperceptions of the Swedish language?? The result is one genuinely wacky comedy which came out just under forty years ago and there has been nothing like it since then.  Also co-starring Lucy Gutteridge, Peter Cushing, and Michael Gough, it's time to go skeet surfing OR straighten the rug.....OR to shop at Macy's? :o  Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon https://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast..... Review - The Celestial Toymaker Animation In a first for this podcast, we attended a world premiere!  Yes, Phil & Scott visited the BFI on London's glittering South Bank to watch the freshly animated The Celestial Toymaker, starring William Hartnell, Peter Purves, Jackie Lane and Michael Gough. In a return to the animation style used for The Web of Fear, fandom was once again up in arms at what was perceived as a step backwards for animating missing episodes. But did that 90 second trailer for The Celestial Toymaker do this project any justice? And how did Phil and Scott feel after they watched all four animated episodes? The answer may surprise you!

Ian and Nathan kick off a new series looking back at the world favourite Timelord through the ages. We go back to 1966 to view one quarter of a mysterious character who made their return to the show only a few weeks ago. Its the ToymakerThe Celestial Toymaker, Episode 4 "The Final Test". Directed by Bill Sellars. Written by Brian Hayles and Donald Tosh.Starring William Hartnell, Peter Purves, Jackie Lane, Michael Gough and Peter Stephens.

We're thrilled to have as our guest award-winning writer, illustrator, and pop culture historian, Rob Kelly, from the Fire & Water Podcast Network! Rob recently provided the commentary track for the VCI Entertainment Blu-ray release of Horrors of the Black Museum (1959.) Besides the fact-filled discussion of that film, Jeff and Richard pair it with Black Zoo (1963.) Both are dark and twisted... both feature Michael Gough... both are Herman Cohen productions. It's just a coincidence they both have the word "black" in their titles... or is it?

Eccentric billionaire Rudolph Deutsch wants someone to figure out what (or who's) been haunting the old Belasco mansion, the “Mt Everest of haunted houses.” Apparently the house has something to do with the secret to life after death, so Deutsch enlists a team of potential rivals to get to the bottom of it:  physicist and sometime paranormal investigator Barrett and his wife Ann; mental medium Florence Tanner; and physical medium Ben Fischer, the sole survivor of the last attempt to exorcise the old home. Almost from the jump, something's off – no one trusts each other, science butts heads with pseudoscience, and when the actual haunting comes, no one really wants to discuss it.  No one, that is, except for Florence and Ben, who've seen enough in their time to recognize the dangers that lie within Belasco House.  And by the time the possessions begin, furniture starts shaking, and chandeliers start tumbling, it's too late to turn back.  The team must see this through, and get to the bottom of what's been driving Hell House's off-the-charts psychic energy.

It's time to set spooky season off right because it's HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST and we're dropping a variety of horror flicks on your nuts FIVE DAYS A WEEK. Yes, every weekday in October there will be a horror film discussion with weekly sub themes and for our Monday vintage selections we're delving into some HAMMER HORROR vampiric fare! Today we're discussing Christopher Lee's debut as a rather seductive DRACULA in 1958's “Horror of Dracula” directed by Terence Fisher (Or just “Dracula” in England) starring Lee, Peter Cushing as Van Helsing as well as Michael Gough & Melissa Stribling among others. Hammer's take on the character that was made iconic in the Universal Film starring Bela Lugosi is much bloodier and more sultry than the stateside version. An all-time Dracula portrayal that put Lee and Cushing on the map. A fine way to start off the spooky season!

In the summer of 1989, the world came down with a Joker-induced case of Batmania as visionary director Tim Burton and leading man Michael Keaton put the "dark" in our Nocturnal Knight for the first time on the big screen. An iconic score mixed with an incredible set, costume, sound, and lighting design - as well as amazing performances by Jack Nicholson, Kim Basinger, and Michael Gough - transformed our understanding of this hero from pop-color comic book pages and spandex-wearing Adam West into something we couldn't know at first if we should love or fear. Strap on your utility belt, fuel up your Batmobile, and tell Alfred not to hold up dinner for you because we are traveling back to that magical summer where the Batman we knew changed forever.

This week, we delve into Tim Burton's Gotham with Batman (1989)! Starring Jack Nicholson, Michael Keaton, Kim Basinger, Robert Wuhl, Pat Hingle, Billy Dee Williams, Michael Gough, and Jack Palance, this film is the first installment in what would become a rather disjointed 4-film Batman series. Featuring a darker Gotham and more serious tone than the Adam West Batman films of the 60s, this film features Bruce Wayne's war on crime and his conflict against The Joker. This Batman iteration was partially influenced by The Killing Joke, The Dark Knight Returns, and Red Hood, and Batman creator Bob Kane worked as a consultant on the film. Campy and goofy as much as it tries to be serious, this film stands out as unique among the slew of Batman entries... But Is Batman Good?If you'd like to suggest a film or film franchise, or if you'd just like to say hello, you can reach us at biigpodcast@gmail.com, @biigpodcast on Twitter, or @butisitgoodpodcast on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube!

Michael Gough as Alfred Pennyworth and Pat Hingle as Commissioner James Gordon of the Gotham Police Dept are the two common threads in all of the Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher Warner Brothers Batman films.  @ThunderGruntBob  and I have affectionally coined this as the Hingle-Gough Verse or the Hingleverse or Goughverse. Perhaps there is a good reason why Batman and his alter ego Bruce Wayne went from being Michael Keaton to Val Kilmer to George Clooney. Hear me out...
