We discuss all three entries which span the 2010 decade and fuse meathead action cinema with post 9/11 paranoia and anxieties: Antoine Fuqua's Olympus Has Fallen, one of the two 2013 thrillers about a terrorist attack on the White House, the ultraviolent sequel London Has Fallen, released in the wake of the real life terror attacks in London and Paris, and the best film in the franchise so far, Angel Has Fallen, where a weary Mike Banning has to take on the deep state and evil military contractors who have framed him for an assassination attempt on peacenik President Morgan Freeman, which leads him to have to team up with his estranged dad Nick Nolte, interrupting his Unabomber lifestyle. Plus: a review of Mike Banning's classified Secret Service dossier (which I found on the internet), and how excited we all are for the return of Butler's other iconic screen hero Big Nick O'Brien in next January's Den of Thieves 2: Pantera.

This week- four films starring a tartan typhoon called Gerry. After being locked away in a vault for 120 years, a heist unleashes a vampiric nightmare on New Orleans just in time for Mardi Gras (as if a movie would acknowledge the city for the other 11 months of the year). Mary, a young record store employee with questionable mental health, finds herself in the bloodsucker's sights. Will she escape the eternal night of Dracula 2000 (aka Dracula 2001 aka Wes Craven Presents Dracula 2000)? In ancient Egypt, the gods lived among mortals. After a thousand years, Osiris decides it is time to step down and hand his crown to his son, Horus. This decision doesn't sit well with his brother, Set. So Set takes the opportunity to seize power and remake the world to his liking. Can Horus and a tiny human thief stop the god of deserts and storms before he destroys all Gods of Egypt? During a home invasion Clyde Shelton is forced to watch his wife and daughter be raped and murdered. When Nick Rice, star of the DA's office, decides to make a deal with the perpetrator, despite there being the most ridiculous mountain of evidence possible, rather than try the easiest career making case of all time. A decade later, the two men find themselves on a collusion course as one tries to bring down the system and the other tries desperately to bring him down. Can Nick and the system he venerates triumph over this Law Abiding Citizen? The sudden death and funeral for the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is really part of a massive plan to kill the leaders of every G7 nation. After the initial attack only the President of the United States is left alive and wondering the terrorist infested streets of a completely disconnected English capital with just his super secret service agent, Mike Banning. With enemies hunting them on every block and kilometers between them and rescue, how long can they survive now that London Has Fallen? All that and Kevin gets his new horror on, Dave objects, Craig considers new liquid receptacles, and Tyler has his eye on some new skate trucks. Join us, won't you? Episode 358- The Butler Did It

White House Down: While on a tour of the White House with his young daughter, a Capitol policeman springs into action to save his child and protect the president from a heavily armed group of paramilitary invaders. Olympus Has Fallen: Secret Service agent Mike Banning finds himself trapped inside the White House in the wake of a terrorist attack and works with national security to rescue the President from his kidnappers.
It's time to take on Angel Has Fallen, a movie that fans seem to love, but critics have deemed a "Bad Movie". Gerard Butler returns as Mike Banning, and this time he's accused of plotting to assassinate Morgan Freeman's President Trumball. Forced on the run, he goes after the real culprits, with a bit of an assist from his grizzled and estranged father, Nick Nolte. Join us this month as Aaron tries desperately to convince Amanda and John that this film and the series is much better than anyone ever gives it credit for, as well as we debate drone tactics and casting actors who tip everyone off exactly who the villains are.

Mike Banning, ancien garde du corps du président des États-Unis, s'occupe désormais des basses besognes des services secrets. Lorsqu'un commando nord-coréen lance une attaque sur la Maison Blanche, prenant en otage le président américain et son fils, il se retrouve seul à pouvoir leur venir en aide. Deux ans après avoir été tenu responsable de la mort accidentelle de la Première Dame, il va pouvoir faire preuve de sa loyauté et de sa bravoure.Ce que ce résumé ne dit pas, c'est que LA CHUTE DE LA MAISON BLANCHE est un représentant tardif mais néanmoins méritant de la vague de "DIE-HARD-Sploitation" dans le sens où il s'agit tout de même d'un gros film de bourrin pétaradant à la sauce des années 80 et 90, mais qui s'est perdu au milieu de la production des années 2010. Production Millennium oblige, le film d'Antoine Fuqua aurait tout aussi bien pu se nommer HOT SHOTS III que cela n'aurait choqué personne, en tout cas pas Matthieu Galley et Stéphane Moïssakis qui parviennent à s'amuser raisonnablement devant ce bon petit nanar du samedi soir !Pour nous soutenir, il y a deux adresses :https://www.patreon.com/capturemaghttps://www.tipeee.com/capture-magEn MP3 sur Acast : https://shows.acast.com/podcast-capture-magSur SPOTIFY : https://spoti.fi/3caW88GSur DEEZER : https://bit.ly/2wtDauUSur APPLE podcasts : https://apple.co/2UW3AyOSur Google Podcasts : https://bit.ly/39W69oR#gerardbutler #morganfreeman #cinema #podcast Podcasts exclusifs Notre politique de confidentialité GDPR a été mise à jour le 8 août 2022.

From Austin Film Festival this is On Story, a look inside the creative process from today’s leading creators, writers and filmmakers. Ric Roman Waugh is a director, writer, producer, and former stuntman. As a writer/director, Waugh’s work include Felon, Snitch, and Shot Caller. In 2019, he co-wrote and directed Angel Has Fallen, the third film in the Fallen film series, with Gerard Butler reprising his role as Secret Service agent Mike Banning. In 2020, Waugh directed the apocalyptic disaster film Greenland, which also stars Butler as a family man trying to find sanctuary from a planet-killing comet that threatens to destroy Earth. I spoke with Waugh about the film after an advance screening in Austin, Texas.

In ihrem Love Cast zu White House Down haben es Souli und Stu bereits erwähnt, dass sie nicht viel von Olympus Has Fallen - Die Welt in Gefahr halten. Jetzt ist es an der Zeit, dass unsere Streiter für das Gute und Schöne Tacheles reden und klar machen, warum sie Gerard Butlers ersten Kampfeinsatz als Mike Banning ziemlich katastrophal und fragwürdig finden. Es geht um Folter, Pathos und einen schlechten Kameragag. Viel Spaß.

We've got a brace of films for you this week which might be as far apart from each other as it's possible to get. Andy reviews the third instalment in the Mike Banning action series 'Angel Has Fallen', but is it the best yet?Alex talks about Pedro Almodóvar's new film 'Pain And Glory', a portrait of a filmmaker wracked with damage coming to terms with the events of his formative years.
This is a big episode. On this weeks double header episode we watch Twin Films White House Down and Olympus Has Fallen. White House Down Capitol police officer John Cale (Channing Tatum) has just been denied his dream job of protecting President James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx) as a member of the Secret Service. Not wanting to disappoint his young daughter with the bad news, Cale takes her on a tour of the White House. While he and his daughter are there, a heavily armed paramilitary group attacks and seizes control. As the nation's government dissolves in chaos, only Cale can save his daughter, the president and the country. Olympus Has Fallen Disgraced Secret Service agent (and former presidential guard) Mike Banning finds himself trapped inside the White House in the wake of a terrorist attack; using his inside knowledge, Banning works with national security to rescue the President from his kidnappers.
Banning comes back once again to save the President once again from an assassination attempt where not everything is not as it seems once again. It's the number one movie in America, but is it enough to keep the Banning franchise alive? Make no mistake, Banning 3's plot statement above is the same as the other two but this film is a departure from the other two. Where the other two are a thin plot stuff around ludicrous action scenes and Banning eating the flesh of his enemies, this one mostly has Banning on the defensive and reacting to the violence around him instead of reveling in it. And while the villain is a complete moron (we'll get to that later) there's nothing really stupid that takes place in Banning's world. Let's put it this way - if there were no Banning 1 and 2, Banning 3 wouldn't be on the podcast. It's just a solid (if forgettable) action movie. Now the villain, played by Danny Huston, keeps this inside the realm of the idiot plot from the bad guys standpoint. Banning of course, doesn't apply to the idiot plot because all he does is kill bad guys so it's not FULL idiot plot. However, wow. This company that Danny Huston's character runs has no chance of ever avoiding subpoena's and Congressional investigations. Like the day their file their incorporation, the company is all sent to Gitmo - because evil and COMPLETELY bad at being a bad guy is a dangerous combo. It is clear that Gerald Butler has lost a step (he broke his neck in the last one and then got in a motorcycle crash right before this one) and some people might be a little disappointed in that (see Sam) but he's still charming, fun and kick-ass Banning - just a different, less psychopathic version of himself. Yet the real star of the show is Nick Nolte who plays Old Man Banning and is an absolute treat. Usually 2x of your fave action guy sucks, but 2x Banning is wonderful. Nolte completely steals the show and gives arguably the best performance that's ever been in a Banning movie. For you? Maybe. If you don't love Banning by now, this one isn't going to bring you in to the warm, loving, fun and just darn good people community you sick, soulless bastard. But if you're like the rest of us, it just depends on if you like a "better" Banning movie, but less fun that the others. I for one, loved it and hope that this isn't the last time we see Mike Banning.

Disgraced Secret Service agent (and former presidential guard) Mike Banning finds himself trapped inside the White House in the wake of a terrorist attack; using his inside knowledge, Banning works with national security to rescue the President from his kidnappers.
It's a film that really can't figure out what it is trying to accomplish, other than showing some weather-related destruction and Gerard Butler talking out the side of his mouth. It's arguably the most anticipated stinker of 2017, does it hold up? As you can guess, science goes completely out the window in this one. The very first we see is that a weather controlling space net launches missiles into a storm above New York. Missiles. So the destruction of NYC by missiles is worse than the storm. Nice work. Follow that with space station hallways that are made of doors that only lead to space, frozen people who don't thaw out in the sun, wasting an entire shuttle launch to send 1 guy into space, the list goes on and on. While this thing is VERY hot once it gets going, the initial 30 minutes do drag a little. It isn't until the movie's title is uttered does this thing turn into electric shit. So be warned on the beginning. Once things turn into banana town, it's incredibly awesomely stupid. The disasters are so fantastic and complete bullshit that even Roland Emmerich is stunned. Then there is the entire plot (which qualifies as the idiot plot) and Ed Harris lack of understanding of geography. Supplement that with Mike Banning being played by (HOT!!!) Abbie Cornish, Mark Ruffalo's little brother's imposter, President Andy Garcia, Executive powers that include teleportation and tracking device bypassing and the last hour of Geostorm are an absolute absurd blast. Well done Dean Devlin and Gerard Butler. For us at Stinker Madness, we want more!
