LOST WITH LOGAN begins! Logan Janis launches a brand-new Mostly Superheroes rewatch series covering all 121 episodes of Lost — one episode at a time, with full-series spoilers, live reactions, trivia, behind-the-scenes facts, and a running attempt to track what the show actually answers. In Season 1, Episode 1 — “Pilot, Part 1,” we return to the crash of Oceanic Flight 815 and the introduction of Jack, Kate, Locke, Hurley, Sawyer, Charlie, Claire, Sayid, Shannon, Boone, Jin, Sun, Michael, Walt, Rose and the rest of the survivors. This episode also establishes the Lost With Logan Answer Tracker, which we'll carry from episode to episode: what mysteries, questions and claims have been answered, what remains unresolved, and what we learn along the way. Episode score: IMDb rating discussed in the show: 9.1/10. Lost With Logan Answer Tracker: Not yet formally scored in Episode 1 — this episode establishes the tracking system so we can maintain the numbers consistently going forward rather than inventing a score after the fact. The show specifically discusses tracking what is answered and unanswered across the series. Key facts identified in this episode: Lost premiered September 22, 2004. Oceanic Flight 815 crashes on an unknown island. The episode describes 48 survivors of the crash. The plane was 1,000 miles off course. Jack, Kate and Charlie discover the cockpit. The pilot is killed by the mysterious creature in the jungle. John Locke was previously paralyzed but can walk after the crash. Charlie is revealed to be a member of Drive Shaft. Jack's famous five-second fear story is introduced. The two-hour pilot reportedly had a $12 million production budget. The transcript identifies several production and casting facts, including the original plan for Jack to be killed and Michael Keaton being considered for Jack. The original pilot would have been substantially different, with Kate becoming the primary leader if Jack had died. The episode contains the first major appearance of the mysterious monster/smoke threat.

Throughout cinematic and television history, religious programming has been a popular theme with an obvious, built-in audience. From Charlton Heston as Moses in “The Ten Commandments” to Martin Scorsese’s controversial “The Last Temptation of Christ,” the Bible has helped provide plots for numerous productions. More recently, “The Chosen” has retold the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth, with a sixth and final season coming soon. On this week’s episode, co-host Bruce Miller discusses the journey he took to Texas to visit the set of “The Chosen,” where he and other entertainment journalists met with the cast and crew of the series as the series prepared to wrap production. Additionally, co-host Terry Lipshetz discusses recent viewings, including the first season of the Netflix reboot of “Little House on the Prairie,” the Netflix movie “The Whisper Man” starring robert DeNiro, Adam Scott and Michael Keaton and another series on Netflix, “Conversations with a Killer: The Charles Manson Tapes.” Note to listeners: When discussing “Conversations with a Killer: The Charles Manson Tapes,” co-host Terry Lipshetz discussed meeting former Associated Press Los Angeles courtroom reporter Linda Deutsch. While Deutsch was a prominent voice in the documentary, she died on Sept. 1, 2024, nearly two years prior to its release. Deutsch retired in 2014, having covered the major trials in the city, including Robert F. Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan, Patty Hearst, O.J. Simpson, Phil Spector, the Menendez brothers and others. She briefly returned to write about O.J. Simpson in 2019. About the show Streamed & Screened is a podcast about movies and TV hosted by Bruce Miller, a longtime entertainment reporter who is the retired editor of the Sioux City Journal in Iowa and Terry Lipshetz, managing editor of the National Newsroom for Lee Enterprises based in Madison, Wisconsin.

With box office buoyant, James Cameron-Wilson is delighted by #3 Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom, perhaps the funniest of Aardman's animated Shaun series. #7 is the documentary Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger which is most likely to appeal to existing Oasis fans familiar with the story so far. James could not be more excited by the limited edition, restored, disc version of 2000's Sexy Beast, with Ray Winstone, Ben Kingsley and Ian McShane in one of the best of British gangster films. With visual authority and extraordinary performances, it also has the best set of extras in years. The Whisper Man, on Netflix, is a conventional yet nasty crime thriller which has nothing good about it, despite the cast including Robert de Niro, Michelle Monaghan and Michael Keaton.

Show notes provided by Joe Peluso This year has been the year of anniversary celebrations on SOMC: 75 years of "I Love Lucy", 75 years of "Adventures of Superman", 60 years of "Star Trek", 40 years of "Transformers", and now the Mint crew looks back to1986 (that's 40 years for those of you who have trouble with math like Joe) and the premiere of "Batman:The Dark KnightReturns". The boys gather in the dusty, dank, decrepit Batcave (the giant penny rolled off its base and knocked over the dinosaur) to examine this ground-breaking work by Frank Miller. As Chris so eloquently put it: "It's not required reading to understand Batman, but it's important to understand the history of the characterculturally".   Believe it or not,1986 was part of an era when Batman sales were soft and interest in the character had waned.In three short years a major motion picture would change all that when Michael Keaton's Batman '89 dropped and sales began to pick up rapidly.But there was still work to be done before that cinema shot in the arm from Warner Bros put stacks of Batman books back on the LCS shelves..DC comics had to rebuild trust and interest with the fans and that was going to take time.. Frank Miller's TDKR was an early step upon that path to redemption, but like any work with decades behind it, did it stand the test of time? Was this still a seminal work in the character's canon, or a curious sidestep by an author who was experimenting with the genre?   This is an episode of the SOMC that may surprise you.Not assurprising as the work itself, but nonetheless valid in its analysisof that work. With that cryptic lure, we hope you will listen all the way through, and of course leave your much appreciated comments across our social media platforms.   Oh, Happy Batman Day!

Batman Day lands on September 19, and Warner Bros. is putting three Batman movies back on big screens for the weekend. Tim Burton's Batman, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, and The LEGO Batman Movie are all screening at Regal, AMC, and Cinemark.I go through all three and make the case for each one. Michael Keaton's 1989 Batman is the live action version everything after it got measured against. Mask of the Phantasm came out of Batman: The Animated Series with Kevin Conroy in the cowl, and it carries a twist I am not spoiling here. The LEGO Batman Movie is the one people argue about, and I will defend it, Joker included. I also get into why catching a rerelease on a weekday beats a normal showtime.Chapters:0:00 Batman Day and the Theater Rerelease0:05 Tim Burton's Batman and Michael Keaton0:13 Mask of the Phantasm and Kevin Conroy0:22 Defending The LEGO Batman Movie0:30 Dates, Showtimes, and Rerelease Crowds0:44 Which One You Can Bring Kids ToTakeaways:Screenings run September 18 through September 20 at Regal, AMC, and Cinemark, with Batman Day itself on the 19th.Mask of the Phantasm has only ever had one theatrical run, which makes this a rare chance to see it projected.The LEGO Batman Movie earns its spot in the lineup, and its Joker is the part that gets skipped over.Animation does not mean kids movie. Phantasm hinges on a love story that goes to dark places."Yes, Lego Batman is a good Batman movie. Well, it's a good movie, and I will stand on this. Very underrated Joker." - Frank"It's nice because the vibes are different. It's very chill, it's very relaxed. You can go on a Tuesday and it's not a big rush." - Frank"If you have kids, don't assume Mask of the Phantasm is for them. It's an adult movie." - FrankSources: Warner Bros.

Game 6 was successful novelist Don DeLillo's first produced screenplay.  Written in 1991 but not produced until 2004, the film was shot for $500,000 in Manhattan and it's cast each worked for $100 a day.  Although several filmmakers were courted as director, those duties eventually went to Michael Hoffman (Restoration, Soapdish, The Last Station).  It stars Michael Keaton, Catherine O'Hara, Griffin Dunne, Robert Downey Jr and Tom Aldredge.

Diese Woche bei Oscars & Himbeeren:“Mayday” auf Apple TV verbindet Kalter-Krieg-Abenteuer und Buddykomödie zu einem erstaunlich zähen Spektakel, in dem Ryan Reynolds einmal mehr Ryan Reynolds spielt und selbst Kenneth Branaghs sichtlich spielfreudiger Auftritt nicht verhindern kann, dass sich der Film zwischen routinierter Action und vorhersehbaren Pointen verläuft; “The Runner” mit Gal Gadot macht aus der Entführung eines Kindes einen Wettlauf durch London, findet dabei jedoch weder psychologische Tiefe noch echte Spannung und hetzt so mechanisch von einer Bedrohung zur nächsten, dass selbst Gadots körperlicher Einsatz irgendwann nur noch wie ein Bestandteil eines ziemlich ausgeleierten Actionbaukastens wirkt; “Die Frau ohne Vergangenheit” von Barbara Topsøe-Rothenborg hingegen entwickelt aus einer zunächst vertrauten Amnesiegeschichte einen elegant inszenierten und zunehmend fesselnden Noir-Thriller, dessen mitunter abenteuerliche Wendungen von Natalie Madueño und Claes Bang so überzeugend getragen werden, dass man ihm selbst seine gröbsten Unwahrscheinlichkeiten gern verzeiht; “Der Kinderflüsterer” schließlich versammelt mit Robert De Niro, Michelle Monaghan, Adam Scott und Michael Keaton eine Besetzung, für die andere Filme vermutlich ihre Seele verkaufen würden, macht daraus jedoch einen bleischweren Serienkiller-Thriller, der jede bekannte Zutat des Genres noch einmal aufwärmt und dabei so wenig Spannung entwickelt, dass selbst De Niro aussieht, als warte er nur darauf, endlich nach Hause gehen zu dürfen.Oscars & Himbeeren - wie immer: schonungslos auf den Punkt gebracht.Hört rein!Wenn euch der Podcast gefällt und ihr tiefer einsteigen wollt, findet ihr auf Substack weitere Texte, Porträts und Filmkritiken vonRonny Rüsch – Filmkritiker.

In this week's episode of the world's-fastest-movie-review podcast, Jackson and Mike review ONE new film and look back at a Pixar classic celebrating its 20th anniversary!!! First, "THE DOG STARS" After a devastating pandemic wipes out most of civilization, a pilot living at an abandoned Colorado airfield with a heavily armed survivalist picks up a mysterious radio transmission and sets out in search of other survivors, risking the fragile existence he has built for the possibility of human connection. Starring Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin, Margaret Qualley, Guy Pearce, Allison Janney, and Benedict Wong. Directed by Ridley Scott. Then, Jackson and Mike celebrate the 20th anniversary of Pixar's "CARS." Hotshot rookie race car Lightning McQueen becomes stranded in the forgotten Route 66 town of Radiator Springs on his way to the Piston Cup championship and discovers that there is more to life than winning. They look back at the film's creation, groundbreaking computer animation, memorable characters, enormous cultural and merchandising impact, its place at the turning point of Disney's acquisition of Pixar, and the franchise of sequels, spinoffs, television projects, and theme-park attractions that followed. Featuring the voices of Owen Wilson, Paul Newman, Bonnie Hunt, Larry the Cable Guy, Michael Keaton, Richard Petty, Cheech Marin, Jenifer Lewis, Tony Shalhoub, George Carlin, and John Ratzenberger. Directed by John Lasseter.

Every great filmmaker gets one Mulligan. Ridley Scott's futuristic thriller "The Dog Stars" is his. Jacob Elordi and Josh Brolin star in a poorly paced and overly familiar post-apocalyptic nightmare about survivalists who face grisly dangers after a flu pandemic. There are impressive individual sequences, but “The Dog Stars” plays like scenes cobbled together instead of a cohesive whole. The hybrid cartoon and live action farce "Coyote vs. Acme" wants to be "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" but is a bit closer to "Space Jam." Wile E. Coyote and his lawyer Will Forte sue Acme Corporation for defective products used in Coyote's endless pursuit of the Road Runner. While there are more laughs in a typical 7-minute Looney Tunes short, "Coyote vs. Acme" is a likable low-key poke at corporate America. If you're one of the people who thought Barney the Dinosaur was a little creepy, the horror flick "Buddy" should send a shudder up your spine. In this tongue-in-cheek creep fest, a malevolent unicorn character lures children into its TV realm to absorb their souls. While satirical, “Buddy” goes full-blooded horror and provides just enough chills for the midnight movie crowd. The gloomy Netflix thriller "The Whisper Man," based on a novel by Alex North, wants to be "Silence of the Lambs," but can't quite emulate that classic's impact. Robert De Niro plays a former cop who tries to help his son Adam Scott recover his son who is kidnapped by a serial killer. Michael Keaton is an imprisoned murderer who is manipulating everything from behind bars. The cast is fine, but “The Whisper Man's” overall impact is lessened by some head scratching lapses in logic.

This week, the CREEP-O-RAMA crew dives face-first into Tim Burton's Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992), and what begins as a thoughtful retrospective immediately crashes through the roof of Wayne Manor like the Batwing after somebody gave Bruce four Red Bulls and a head injury. We celebrate Michael Keaton's legendary Batman, Jack Nicholson's gloriously deranged Joker, Danny DeVito's sewer-goblin Penguin, and Michelle Pfeiffer's absolutely untouchable Catwoman while asking the questions Warner Bros. cowards were too afraid to answer: Who was strapping military-grade rocket launchers onto penguins? Alfred? Did Gotham's OSHA office simply burst into flames before construction began? Why is there an abandoned Arctic theme park hidden beneathGotham City, and why did literally nobody notice it? Why does Batman own enough surveillance equipment to make the NSA blush but still can't turn his own neck? Why is every vat of acid sitting completely uncovered like it's complimentary office coffee?  We spiral into increasingly unhinged theories about Catwomanactually being a zombie resurrected by emotionally supportive alley cats, Bruce Wayne secretly importing six cases of champagne from Japan just because he's rich enough to be legally confusing, and Batman patiently sitting alone in thedark for hours waiting for Commissioner Gordon to finally flip on the Bat-Signal like a Labrador waiting for someone to throw the tennis ball.  Along the way we compare Burton's gothic masterpiece tolater takes from Christopher Nolan and Matt Reeves, argue over Joker's ever-changing origin story, defend the comic-book insanity of Burton's universe, declare that the rocket-pack penguins somehow feature better underwater cinematography than Jaws 3-D (1983), and accidentally spend an alarming amount of time debating Batman's nipples, rubber cowl strength modifiers, VHS surveillance technology, and whether Gotham's building inspectors were simply paid in riddles. Look. It's Batman, We're GOING to passionately overanalyzetwo of our favorite films until the conversation evolves into Alfred operating a black-market military contractor ring out of Wayne Manor.

But then come the lows—and they hit like a freight train. We are pulling no punches on the horrifying, unfinished "Chronobowl" CGI, the deeply uncanny valley deepfake cameos, and the exhausting multiverse fatigue that derailed the franchise's grand finale.

Through their individual stories, viewers experience the war through the memories of the men and women who experienced it: the rank-and-file Continental soldiers and American militiamen (some of them teenagers), Patriot political and military leaders, British Army officers, American Loyalists, Native soldiers and civilians, enslaved and free African Americans, German soldiers in the British service, French and Spanish allies, and various civilians living in North America, Loyalist as well as Patriot, including many made refugees by the war. The Revolution began a movement for people around the world to imagine new and better futures for themselves, their nations, and for humanity. It declared American independence with promises that we continue to strive for. The American Revolution opened the door to advance civil liberties and human rights, and it asked questions that we are still trying to answer today.

Send Kevin a Text MessageLauren Shuler Donner, one of Hollywood's most influential and adaptable producers, joins host Kevin Goetz for a wide-ranging career retrospective. Over nearly five decades, Shuler Donner has produced roughly 40 films that have grossed more than $5 billion worldwide — including Mr. Mom, St. Elmo's Fire, Pretty in Pink, Dave, Free Willy, and the X-Men franchise she helped build years before Marvel became Marvel. She talks with Goetz about breaking into a male-dominated industry, her 38-year love story and creative partnership with director Richard Donner, her philanthropic work with the Motion Picture & Television Fund, and her latest chapter producing the Broadway musical adaptation of The Lost Boys.Breaking Into a Male-Dominated Industry (06:10): Shuler Donner recalls knocking on doors with no connections, becoming one of only three women among 300 men in NBC's camera department, and working her way into producing.Discovering John Hughes and Making Mr. Mom (12:29): Shuler Donner recalls cold-calling John Hughes, championing his unproduced script Mr. Mom, and casting an unknown Michael Keaton after seeing him in Night Shift.Falling for Dick Donner on the Set of Ladyhawke (16:43): Shuler Donner describes pursuing Richard Donner to direct Ladyhawke, working with him as a producer, and falling in love with him during the Italian shoot.Radio Flyer, Free Willy, and the Power of Testing (24:53): Shuler Donner discusses Radio Flyer's heartbreaking low box office despite strong scores, and how a fan's $10 donation "for the whales" inspired Free Willy's end-credit hotline.The Midwest Gut Check and the Search for Real Villains (28:01): Shuler Donner explains testing projects against whether "a kid from Cleveland" would pay to see them, and demanding villains like Magneto have real, human motivations.Finding Hugh Jackman (30:40): Shuler Donner recounts spotting Hugh Jackman in a self-taped Oklahoma! audition, flying him to LA, and sending him to read for Bryan Singer in Toronto sight unseen.Getting X-Men Made (34:07): After Warner Bros. passed, Shuler Donner pitched X-Men to Fox's Bill Mechanic, who, unbeknownst to her, had sold his own comic collection to pay for college.The Lost Boys on Broadway (37:02): Shuler Donner talks about bringing The Lost Boys, and eventually Dave, to the Broadway stage.Testing Pretty in Pink's Ending (43:53): Shuler Donner explains how test audiences rejected the original ending of Pretty in Pink, leading to a reshoot that paired Molly Ringwald with Andrew McCarthy instead of Jon Cryer.Host: Kevin GoetzGuest: Lauren Shuler DonnerProducer: Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, Nick Nunez, and Kari CampanoAudio Engineer: Gary Forbes (DG Entertainment)For more information about Lauren Shuler Donner:IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0795682/Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauren_Shuler_DonnerFor more information about Kevin Goetz:- Website: www.KevinGoetz360.com- Audienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678- How to Score in Hollywood: https://www.amazon.com/How-Score-Hollywood-Secrets-Business/dp/198218986X/- Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack: @KevinGoetz360- LinkedIn @Kevin Goetz- Screen Engine/ASI Website: www.ScreenEngineASI.com

I love Batman and my favorite Batman is Michael Keaton. But it's not just his portrayal of Batman and Bruce Wayne that I love. I love Tim Burton's art style and direction and I absolutely love Danny Elfman's musical score. But my favorite piece of that score is not one that you'll find in either Batman or Batman Returns. It's a version that is only found here in Oklahoma each fall on the grounds surrounding the Palace on the Prairie.

For our final look at Supergirl, we're returning to the DCEU. And also Earth 89, Earth 789, Earth 30, Earth 66, Earth 203, Earth 789, and a reboot. That's right, we're taking a look at The Flash (2023), which aimed to be both a love letter to and the end of the Zack Snyder DC Universe, while also serving as an introduction to James Gunn's DCU. All your favourites are back: Michael Keaton, Ben Affleck, George Clooney, and Adam West as Batman, along with Wonder Woman, Aquaman, a pretty solid interpretation of Supergirl from Sasha Calle, and Ezra Miller's The Flash, I guess, if you're into that kind of thing. And it's awful.

A Texas Goof, Maine's Nazi, and the Last Temptation of Batman

In this guest-hosted episode of the Derek Hunter Podcast, columnist Dean Karayanis — New York Sun columnist and longtime member of Rush Limbaugh's “highly overrated staff” — dives into a wide-ranging, culturally sharp monologue exploring how modern society has cheapened life, diluted powerful historical lessons, and substituted serious political discourse with empty media crosstalk. Dean reacts to the Democratic Nazi candidate for Senate in Maine, Graham Platner, smearing Senator Collins (who voted to convict President Trump in his second impeachment trial) “set me to die” in Iraq, contrasting it with General George S. Patton's authentic, uncompromising World War II ethos. He explores how the cinematic portrayal of Patton by George C. Scott has shaped our collective memory of war, and how Hollywood narratives have warped our understanding of historical conflicts like Vietnam. Turning a critical eye toward the media landscape, Dean dissects the tragic passing of hockey legend Claude Lemieux, using it to launch a stark, data-driven critique of Canada's controversial MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) program. Drawing from his own professional background in veterinary medicine, he explains the profound psychological toll that ending life takes on the human brain and warns against a culture that treats human existence as a mere "clump of cells." Finally, Dean analyzes the upcoming Texas Senate race involving James Talarico, the pitfalls of Republicans relying on cheap mockery instead of serious policy persuasion, and the return of The Washington Star. He wraps up the hour with a refreshing media contrast: Michael Keaton's viral, purely entertaining commencement speech at Kent State, proving that public figures can still choose to uplift an audience rather than make everything about themselves in service of left-wing politics.
