During his speech at the 2016 Democratic National Convention, he also said that his wife, Hillary Clinton, found his parenting decisions questionable after he watched six "Police Academy" films back-to-back with his daughter, Chelsea Clinton.The "shoe polish on the megaphone" comes from a prank played on British director Michael Winner during the filming of one of his movies. Hugh Wilson chose to use this gag after hearing the story from a crew member.Sources:Wikipedia, IMDBhttps://www.thegibsonreview.com/blog/police-academy-a-reviewSome sections were composed by ChatGPTWe'd love to hear your thoughts on our podcast!

Ava Gardner!) and one truly bonkers climax because we're discussing Michael Winner's 1977 chiller The Sentinel!Join us as we go all in on this messy little film, albeit one with a lot of great ideas. It's one of the rare times you'll hear us say that a movie is too short, because it seems like there are full scenes missing from this thing. Still, it's got some great effects (that nose slice!), courtesy of industry vet Dick Smith (The Exorcist). Plus: defining "tasteful" masturbation, trying to figure out the logistics behind the Catholic church's grand master plan and the bizarre lack of consent it entails, and Trace not only learning what a sentinel is, but majorly flubbing Joe's game.Questions?

Charles Bronson ofrece uno de sus recitales en la primera entrega de Death Wish, aquí llamada El justiciero de la ciudad. Charles Bronson interpreta por primera vez al arquitecto Paul Kersey. Arquitecto de edificios, pero también de la muerte de un buen número de delincuentes callejeros a los que considera el lumpen de la sociedad. Bien es cierto que la Nueva York de principios de los 70 no era la de ahora, y que el flagrante asesinato de su mujer (y violación de su hija) le dan una buena ración de motivos. ¿Es El Justiciero de la Ciudad la declaración de ultraderecha que muchos críticos le atribuyeron, o quizá la película de Michael Winner versa también sobre la seducción por la violencia que se desata en un hombre aparentemente apacible una vez le afecta la misma? En este podcast Juanma González y Dani Palacios discuten sobre ello a la vez que disfrutan con la experiencia de ver de nuevo la primera entrega de Death Wish. En todo caso, la película resultó no solo tremendamente exitosa, sino que dio para multitud de secuelas e imitaciones (muchas de ellas producidas por la Cannon, ausente aún en esta primera entrega, y protagonizadas por el propio Bronson) dando lugar a un subgénero de violentos justicieros urbanos que todavía hoy colea.

Tread Perilously's horror month continues with a look at the anthology series The Hitchhiker via its slasher-esque episode called "The Killer." Despite Meg's protests, her family plans to leave her behind while going on a vacation. Well, her brother, Jonathan, may also be staying to do some shooting. But when most of the clan is killed via shotgun blasts, Meg must fend for herself as the killer is somewhere in the palatial home. Is Jonathan behind the deaths? And can Meg use her wheelchair to devise clever ways to avoid him? Erik discovers The Hitchhiker is not a ripoff of The Hitcher. Justin finds room to champion Mute Witness. Guest star Jenny Seagrove's CableACE Award win for the episode leads to a discussion of cable TV quality in the 1980s. Erik reveals where Justin has seen fellow guest star Lisa Foster before. The pair also discuss the qualities of a good twist. They even invent "The Beach That Makes You Old" Scale. Justin defends Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Hot Dog ... The Movie suddenly becomes important. Proper day-for-night photography is discussed, as is the unfortunate brevity of The Hitchhiker, which leads to thin characters. And on an unrelated note, Michael Winner becomes a cinematic devil.

Ian and Mark "Planty" Plant continue their very occasional series by covering one of Michael winners good ones!The Mechanic (1972) Directed by Michael Winner. Written by Lewis John Carlino. Starring Charles Bronson and Jan-Michael Vincent. 

In this conversation, filmmaker James DeMonaco discusses his journey from writing the comedy “Jack” and working with Francis Ford Coppola and Luc Besson, to creating the successful “Purge” franchise. Up next is his latest, a psychological horror film, “The Home” starring Pete Davidson, which is releasing theatrically July 25th via Roadside Attractions. DeMonaco shares insights on genre forms in screenwriting - and a 30 year career as a Hollywood screenwriter, the challenges of production, and the importance of audience engagement. He reflects on his experiences with notable actors and directors, and the creative process behind his films, emphasizing the need for authenticity and emotional connection in storytelling. Many past inspirations are discussed including the 1977 supernatural horror “The Sentinel” directed by Michael Winner, as well as James' ongoing passion for Fellini films. What Movies Are You Watching?Listen to all episodes on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and more, as well as at www.pastpresentfeature.com.

RHLSTP #566 - Get Back! - Richard is back at the Podcast Room for an interview with a real comedy legend, Maurice Gran, co-creator of Birds of a Feather, Shine On Harvey Moon, Love Hurts and of course Goodnight Sweetheart. They chat about how Maurice and co-writer Laurence Marks seemed thrown together by fate, working with three of the Young Ones, but especially Rik Mayall in the New Statesman, how they got caught up in Michael Winner's Bullseye, the unwitting strangers who inspired Birds of a Feather and the paucity of ambition of Gary Sparrow and how you can help the Goodnight Sweetheart adventures to continue by backing the kickstarter (unless Rich gets in there first with Goodnight Goodnight Sweetheart Sweetheart) and how Rich might finally find himself associated with Gary Sparrow after all.Back the Kickstarter here https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/idiotboxbooks/goodnight-sweetheart-many-happy-returnsSee RHLSTP live in London, Sheffield or Edinburgh http://richardherring.com/rhlstpSUPPORT THE SHOW!Watch our TWITCH CHANNELSee extra content at our WEBSITE Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp.

ART! TRASH! TERROR! Adventures in Strange Cinema (Headpress 2025) by Chris Alexander is a treasure trove of in-depth essays and edifying interviews that celebrate some of the most eccentric and unforgettable movies in cult cinema history. From recognized classics (George A. Romero's Dawn Of The Dead, David Lynch's The Elephant Man) to misunderstood masterpieces (Michael Mann's The Keep, Boris Sagal's The Omega Man) to unfairly maligned curios (Kostas Karagiannis' Land Of The Minotaur, Brett Leonard's Hideaway), the author takes an alternately serious and playful but always personal look at several strains of international horror, dark fantasy, and exploitation film -- motion pictures that transform, transgress, challenge, infuriate, shock, and entertain. Connecting these passionate and critical essays are insightful interviews with revered talents, such as John Waters (writer/director, Cecil B. Demented), Michael Winner (director, The Sentinel), Nicolas Cage (actor, Vampire's Kiss), Gene Simmons (co-founder/bassist, KISS), William Crain (director, Blacula), William Lustig (director, Maniac), Werner Herzog (director, Nosferatu: Phantom Der Nacht) and many more, as well as witty, heartfelt memoirs charting the author's oddball experiences on the fringes of Hollywood and beyond.

Raymond Chandler defined Los Angeles as a corrupt labyrinth of hidden truths that only an adventurous detective with noir eyes, a steel spine, and a witty disgust for sham and pettiness could uncover. In this Gain of Fiction/FAA crossover, Glen Rockney and I uncover the modern day relevance of Chandler's first and best novel The Big Sleep (1939), and the classic Howard Hawks 1946 movie adaptation starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, and what they teach about being a man. We also mention the unclassic 1978 Michael Winner adaptation starring Robert Mitchum which Tarantino just ludicrously recommended.   For the full 2+ hour episode -- plus twice as many adventures and regular Smoke Break mini eps on topics of the day -- subscribe to the show at patreon.com/filthyarmenian   Follow us on X/insta @filthyarmenian    If you like what you hear, please rate and review the show on your podcast app

What was the British pop movie like before The Beatles? They were quite a lot like What a Whopper, as Graham and Mark discover this week. A featherweight farce in which a struggling writer and his bohemian friends try to fake a Loch Ness Monster sighting - just go with it, OK - it features a plethora of British comedy legends, a script by Dalek creator Terry Nation, and, as its lead, one Adam Faith. It's easy to forget what a massive name Faith was in his heyday, and our hosts examine every aspect of his wild career, from his other acting roles in Budgie and Beat Girl through his career in financial advice to his delightful last words. We also discuss the real-life Loch Ness Monster hoaxes that may have inspired Nation's script, the tragic life of female lead Carol Leslie, the film's not-wholly-unstereotypical vision of Scotland and the state of Michael Winner's finances. It's a monster of an episode! If you don't want to see us reduced to hoaxing cryptids to make ends meet, you can donate to our Patreon, where you'll get a bonus episode of this podcast every month.

Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review, where today we're taking aim at a controversial classic that arguably defined an entire genre: Death Wish (1974). Directed by Michael Winner and starring Charles Bronson as the archetypal vigilante, Paul Kersey, this film sparked debate upon its release and continues to be a topic of conversation for cinephiles and critics alike.Death Wish plunges viewers into the grim reality of a New York City plagued by crime and fear. Charles Bronson's Paul Kersey is an architect, a conscientious objector turned avenging angel after a brutal attack leaves his wife dead and his daughter catatonic. The film explores Kersey's transformation from a peace-loving citizen into a gun-toting vigilante, taking the law into his own hands to exact revenge on the city's muggers and criminals.The narrative thrust of Death Wish follows Kersey as he prowls the streets at night, baiting criminals so he can dispatch his own brand of justice. It's a brutal, morally ambiguous journey that forces viewers to question the lines between right and wrong, justice and vengeance.Death Wish was ground-breaking for its stark portrayal of vigilante justice, a theme that has been replicated, examined, and critiqued in countless films since. Bronson's stoic performance as Kersey became iconic, embodying the frustrations and fears of a city (and a nation) feeling powerless against rising crime rates. The film's gritty realism, combined with its controversial subject matter, makes it a compelling yet uncomfortable watch.Despite its controversies, or perhaps because of them, Death Wish is a seminal film in the action genre. It's a product of its time yet remains relevant in its exploration of crime, fear, and the lengths to which individuals will go to feel safe. It offers no easy answers but instead serves as a gritty, thought-provoking piece of cinema that continues to resonate with audiences today.So, whether you view Death Wish as a thrilling action film or a problematic portrayal of justice, there's no denying its impact on cinema and culture. Join us on Bad Dads Film Review as we delve into the dark streets of New York City with Paul Kersey, exploring the legacy and controversies of this iconic film.

We talk about Michael Winner's 1974 classic, Death Wish, starring Charles Bronson.

It also features John Forbes-Robertson as ‘The Minister' The film is based on Colin Wilson's 1976 novel, The Space Vampires. It portrays the events that unfold after a trio of humanoids in a state of suspended animation are brought to Earth after being discovered in the hold of an alien spaceship. This was the first film of Hooper's three-picture deal with Cannon Films, the other two films are the remake of Invaders from Mars and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. Prior to Lifeforce, Hooper was originally offered the script for E.T. but turned it down. Spielberg then suggested Hooper direct Poltergeist, a project he had written himself and had planned on directing. he took the job and Spielberg went on directed E.T. (and most people also believe Poltergeist as well) Before Hooper, Michael Winner was offered the Lifeforce director's gig, but it didn't work out. And Billy Idol said he had been offered a lead role as a vampire by Hooper, who had directed the video for "Dancing with Myself", but turned it down due to touring commitments. It has been suggested that this is a remake of Hammer Film Productions' Quatermass and the Pit. In an interview, director Tobe Hooper discussed how Cannon Films gave him $25 million, free rein, and Colin Wilson's book The Space Vampires. Hooper then shares how giddy he was: "I thought I'd go back to my roots and make a 70mm Hammer film." Hooper came up with the idea of using Halley's Comet in the screenplay, rather than the asteroid belt as originally used in the novel, as the comet was going to pass by Earth one year following the film's release. Colin Wilson, the author of the source material, was unhappy with the way the film turned out. He wrote of it, "John Fowles had once told me that the film of The Magus was the worst movie ever made. After seeing Lifeforce I sent him a postcard telling him that I had got one better." According to interviews with Bill Malin, who plays one of the male vampires, the film went over schedule during production. Because of this, some important scenes were never shot, and the film was shut down at one time because the studio had simply run out of money. The film marked the fourth project to feature special effects produced by Academy Award winner John Dykstra. Dykstra who has worked on 38 films including: Star Wars, Star Trek the Motion Picture, Batman Forever and Batman and Robin, Spider-Man 1 and 2, and the last three Tarantino films. His last IMDB credit is a fan man Spiderman film that is getting some heat because of racist slurs used by some of the cast whilst promoting the film. The umbrella-like alien spaceship was modelled after an artichoke, while the miniature London destroyed in the film was actually the remains of Tucktonia, a model village near Christchurch, United Kingdom, that had closed not long before the shooting of the film. The initial Director's cut was 128 minutes long. This is 12 minutes longer than the final version, which had several scenes cut, most of them taking place on the Space Shuttle Churchill. According to an interview he gave on the UK talk show Wogan in 1985, most of Nicholas Ball's performance ended up on the cutting room floor Mathilda May had to learn her lines phonetically, for her audition as Space Girl, because she didn't know any English at the time. She then went on to learn the language during the six months she spent in England on this movie. Patrick Stewart has said several times that Tobe Hooper was his favourite director to work with (which is rather unkind to Jonathan Frakes I thought). Music and SFX provided by https://slip.stream and Audio jungle Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

This week we are celebrating 2 important dates; November 1st which marks the day that Death Wish 3 hit theaters back in 1985 and November 3rd, 1921 which was the day that Charles Bronson was born. So what better way to celebrate than to get together "3 of the nicest bad guys ever" from Death Wish 3.  Alex Winter, Kirk Taylor, and Tony Spiridakis played the roles of "Hermosa", "The Giggler", and "Angel".  They talked about their auditions, death scenes, personal experiences with Charles Bronson, Michael Winner, and so much more.  This reunion was put together by myself and Chris Rauch who runs the Charles Bronson Twitter account and we thought, "hey let's get these bad guys together," but what we didn't know was that we reunited 3 people who formed a bond on set and haven't seen each other in almost 36 years. It was quite special to see them together again. This is by far the coolest thing we have ever been a part of, enjoy! You can watch the reunion at sequelsonly.com/DW3Reunion Follow Chris's Bronson Twitter @bronsontweets9 Follow Alex Winter on Twitter @Winter Follow Kirk Taylor on Twitter @IamKirkTaylor The next sequel we are reviewing is "Meet the Fockers" and we interviewed Actor Jack Plotnick who had a small, but a hilarious role in the movie.  You know Jack from the Ellen Show in the 90s, Jenny McCarthy Show, Rubber, and so much more.  Most recently you can see Jack in a lot of guest-starring roles on Z-Nation, Grace and Frankie, Reno 911 Lone Star, and more.  This was a great chat.

This week, Josh and Drusilla have the blues, BUT! They cheer themselves up with the incredibly chic The Sentinel (1977.) From wiki: “The Sentinel is a 1977 American supernatural horror film directed by Michael Winner, and starring Cristina Raines, Chris Sarandon, Ava Gardner, Burgess Meredith, Sylvia Miles, and Eli Wallach. The plot focuses on a young model who moves into a historic Brooklyn brownstone that has been sectioned into apartments, only to find that the building is owned by the Catholic diocese and is a gateway to Hell. It is based on the 1974 novel of the same name by Jeffrey Konvitz, who also co-wrote the screenplay with director Winner. It also features Christopher Walken, Jeff Goldblum, John Carradine, Jerry Orbach, Tom Berenger, Nana Visitor and Beverly D'Angelo in supporting roles.”Josh is rewatching Project Runway which causes the pair to discuss how mean the 2000s were and all the nasty reality shows and horror films from the era. Dru brings up the super fucked-up There's Something About Miriam. They discuss the Errol Morris documentary Tabloid. They also discuss The Swan and Boy Meets Boy. Drusilla is really bummed about the allegations against Justin Sane, front man for Anti-Flag. They rage about J.K. Rowling. Enya is the model!

This week Bring Me The Axe takes a look at the 1977 Michael Winner clone of The Omen/Rosemary's Baby, The Sentinel. Ostensibly the most Catholic horror movie ever made, it's also about as paranoid as a horror movie can be. One damned soul, alone must stand watch over the gateway to Hell and Alison Parker is next in line to take on the mantle. Along the way, literally everyone will manipulate her toward their own ends. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bring-me-the-axe/message

Alex Shephard, senior writer for The New Republic, returns to Junk Filter to discuss two demented grindhouse classics from the English director Michael Winner, the notorious Charles Bronson thriller Death Wish 3 (1985) and a recently rediscovered home invasion melodrama from the year prior, Scream For Help. Both films have much in common: two trashy and violent melodramas, both set in New York State but mostly filmed in London. each with an original soundtrack from a member of Led Zeppelin! Alex says Death Wish 3 is a work of American fascist art, a proto-MAGA vision that helps to explain today's reactionary conservative mindset. Scream For Help is like an R-rated After School Special that couldn't be made today and is a must-watch for DW3 heads. Plus! A supersized post-mortem of the World Cup in Qatar, including the greatest WC final ever, Messi securing GOAT status, the crashing-out of Cristano Ronaldo from elite status in football, and how journalists managed to cover the tournament while also combatting the sportswashing efforts of FIFA and the host country.
