This week, the Mikes are bringing in Disaster Movie Expert Producer Collin to discuss Elijah Wood's first real foray into big blockbuster filmmaking, Mimi Leder's 1998 film DEEP IMPACT! Famously released around the same time as Michael Bay's ARMAGEDDON - a movie with a similar plot - this boasts a huge cast that includes Morgan Freeman, Tea Leoni, Robert Duvall, and more, all of whom are counting down the days until an asteroid collides with Earth.

This week on Shat the Movies, we're hunting a serial killer with Kiss the Girls (1997), the thriller that introduced Morgan Freeman as detective and psychologist Alex Cross. Gene and Big D break down Freeman's effortless authority, Ashley Judd fighting back, the creepy Casanova mystery, and a plot packed with enough twists and suspicious dudes to keep everyone guessing. Does this late 90s serial killer thriller still deliver, or was Hannibal Lecter already casting too big a shadow? Tune in and find out. Shat on Entertainment Kiss the Girls (1997) is a psychological thriller directed by Gary Fleder and stars Morgan Freeman, Ashley Judd, Cary Elwes, and Tony Goldwyn. Based on James Patterson's novel, the film follows forensic psychologist Alex Cross as he searches for his kidnapped niece and becomes involved in the hunt for a serial kidnapper known as Casanova. His investigation leads him to Kate McTiernan, a woman who escaped captivity and may be the best chance of finding the other missing women. The film was the first big screen appearance of Alex Cross, with Freeman returning to the role in Along Came a Spider.

Does the approach of your next birthday make you feel like you're behind on your financial or life goals? From retirement savings to home ownership, the traditional "milestone timeline" often leaves us feeling like we're falling short.Join us as we dive into Oprah's "Life Starts at 44" philosophy, and showcase how iconic careers—from Morgan Freeman to top Fortune 500 CEOs—were built well past 30. Plus, Tech Executive Aliah Summers joins the show to share how she navigated single motherhood, a non-traditional career path, and the pivotal "Lexus moment" that changed her financial trajectory forever.

Sage Steele sits down with legendary impressionist and comedian Frank Caliendo for two hours of laughs, stories, and dead-on impressions. Frank breaks down how he actually builds a voice from scratch, starting with Muppet voices and working his way to John Madden, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Charles Barkley, Morgan Freeman, and Patrick Mahomes, and reveals the "pizza slice" face theory behind every character. He tells the story he kept secret for 20 years about John Madden wanting to sue him and the Hall of Famer who refused to go along with it, what really happened the day he dressed as Trump inside Trump Tower, and how his Richard Sherman parody took over an entire Super Bowl. Sage and Frank reminisce about the ESPN and Fox heyday, from Mike and Mike to the 30 for 30, and Frank gets honest about fame, family, why he has never had a drink in his life, and the coaching mistake he owned up to in front of a team of kids.

The Dank Tank is back! Listeners unleashed their most original weed-inspired “high-deas,” including Weedmo (Waymo, but for weed), butter-flavored chapstick, and a build-your-own canoe concept that may or may not have involved getting extremely high. Then we brought back 10 Seconds of Rage, giving listeners exactly 10 seconds to unleash their frustrations, and unsurprisingly, the never-ending heat wave gave everyone PLENTY to rage about. Plus, we met Rob the Blob, a man who allegedly weighs more than 700 pounds, never leaves his house, and desperately wants to make it to our Endless Summer Kegger in Newport. The only problem? Getting him there may require a crane, a construction crew, and possibly a full municipal infrastructure project. But hey… is it worth it? And finally, we welcomed our first set of twins to Old People Secrets as they revealed their secrets to living a long life.

Forrest, Conan Neutron, Kristina Oakes and FreddyG discuss Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Last week, we did the 2005 Batman origin story.. Batman Begins. Christopher Nolan's first entry in a grittier, realier, darker Batman series after decades of more campy and cartoonish portrayals. However, it was the Dark Knight in 2008 that really was the gem in the Batman crown for Nolan's trilogy.Coming at an incredibly pivotal year in American History, with the winds of change hopefully in the air, the Dark Knight blew up like a discourse bomb, inspiring like Batman himself, dozens of copycats and changing the trajectory of the "Superhero Movie" by being more crime movie than comic book movie.Of all the performances, Heath Ledger who actually died six months before the movie finally came out, stole the show as the chaotic and nihilistic Joker who manages to get all Gotham's Organized Crime under his thumb without them realizing what they've unleashed.Starring Christian Bale, Heath Ledger as the Joker, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Maggie Gylenhaal as Rachel, Gary Oldman, and Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent. FreddyG is a stand up comedian who hosts the monthly stand up show "Paid Protest Comedy" with Anders Lee and Kate Willett and Nonye Brown-West as well as doing content creation for Track AIPAC. Conan is ONCE AGAIN going on tour to the West Coast from August 26th to September 5th https://www.songkick.com/artists/8525203-conan-neutron-and-the-secret-friends

Mark and Norbert discuss the 1998 action film Hard Rain. Directed by Mikael Salomon and starring Christian Slater, Morgan Freeman, Minnie Driver, and an incredible amount of water, the movie focuses on what happens when a group of thieves attempt a waterlogged heist. In this episode, they also talk about intense productions, jet ski action scenes, and Christian Slater's filmography.

This week, Gene and Big D review The Power of One (1992), the historical drama directed by John G. Avildsen (Rocky) and starring Stephen Dorff, Morgan Freeman, John Gielgud, and a very young, very hateable Daniel Craig — in his feature film debut. Set in apartheid-era South Africa, the film follows Peter "PK" Keith, an Anglo boy navigating boarding school brutality, a German expat mentor, a prison boxing coach, and the weight of becoming a symbol for an oppressed people. It's ambitious, it's beautiful, and it completely bombed at the box office. This episode, the guys debate: Whether PK is the hero — or actually the most dangerous man in South Africa Why the film's Black characters are almost impossibly patient with the white kid saving them The most disturbing scene in any PG-13 movie (and it's not the violence) Stephen Dorff: criminally underrated, or just lucky here? What PK should have done instead of turning down Oxford? Plus: Dick fosters five-week-old kittens named Band Camp and Space Camp. Gene drunkenly watched the FIFA World Cup final before recording. Rob's commissioner letter about his late mum brings the whole episode to a halt. This commission comes courtesy of Rob H. (UK), part of his upcoming block of commissions. Rob's letter — including his childhood trip to Zimbabwe, his memories of Victoria Falls, and a Zulu phrase he made Gene Google live on mic — is one of the best we've received in 500 episodes.

Legends Podcast is cracking open the cinematic vault and bringing you a whole month of cons, capers, and car chases! Whether you're a wrongfully-convicted banker or an aspiring fashion designer, you'll find the big score right here on our podcast. This is Aug-Heist! This week takes us to Maine's Shawshank Prison for a 1994 film directed by Frank Darabont based on a Stephen King novella. When Andy Dufresne is locked up for a crime he claims to be innocent of, he'll go to extraordinary lengths to survive, including ripping off the crooked warden and planning an elaborate escape. With an ensemble cast including Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman, Bob Gunton, William Sadler, Clancy Brown, Gil Bellows, and James Whitmore, the film bombed at the box office upon initial release. However, the film scored strong reviews and seven Oscar nominations, and with word-of-mouth finally catching up, it went on to become the top-rented film of 1995. The film began airing regularly on the cable network TNT, turning it into something of a pop culture phenomenon. Today, the film frequently appears on lists of the best films ever made - a true example of a film that was sentenced to cinematic obscurity but escaped and stole the hearts of its audience. Now we're reviewing one film that "got away" from us last Aug-Heist… The Shawshank Redemption!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   GO VISIT THE OSR The Ohio State Reformatory.  Paid tours are available and a great place to roam and see history in many forms.

Friday chaos with Clint, Meg and Dan: Dan celebrates a week off “obvious” sugar, they field an early caller confused about an R&V ticket giveaway date, and Meg finds old diaries full of cat-drawing practice while packing to sell her house. The team chats an 82–12 Roosters thrashing, a stat showing NZ leads in women in their late 40s never marrying, and Ben Affleck winning $1M for charity on Millionaire. They play Easy Money, vent “Things We Hate,” and reveal Dan’s Google history. Plus, they create competing alarm sounds (Karen “20 whacks,” a Morgan Freeman-style pep talk, and Clint’s chaotic entry), then debate Kmart’s $89 recording glasses and why receipts get scanned. 00:00 Unnecessary Podcast Intro 00:16 Friday Banter and Sugar Quit 01:06 Snack Comfort Confessions 01:43 Caller Confusion R&V Giveaway 03:26 Moving House and Old Diaries 06:17 NRL Blowout and Marriage Stats 10:29 Ben Affleck Million Question 13:33 First Caller Paris Proposal Talk 17:14 Naughty 640 Glue Revenge Story 21:02 More Or Less Animated Hits 23:54 Easy Money Letter K 26:09 Things We Hate Rants Begin 30:38 Listener Vents Ranger Drivers 32:01 Slow Drivers Rant 32:57 Pet Peeves Rapid Fire 33:48 Producers Diary Returns 37:51 Wahs And NRL Chat 38:27 Sport Roundup With Laura 43:18 Dans Google History 46:18 Easy Money Challenge 48:59 Greatest Alarm Quest t01:01:34 Kmart Camera Glasses Debate 01:06:23 Privacy Versus Convenience

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.

When The Dark Knight Rises came out in 2012, expectations were sky high. After all, Christopher Nolan had shattered all box office records and blown critics away with The Dark Knight… what would he be doing now to dazzle audiences everywhere?  Maybe it's inevitable that the reception would be mixed. For the first time in his career, a Nolan movie was given generally negative reviews. And while it ultimately made more money worldwide than The Dark Knight did, it didn't become the biggest movie of all time. Earlier that year, in fact, The Avengers had pulled that off, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe's reign had officially begun. Nolan said the only reason he would ever consider making a sequel to The Dark Knight was if he came up with a story that was so good it justified its own existence. So… does The Dark Knight Rises do that? Laci thinks so; Matt doesn't. In this episode, 1-Week Rental takes you behind the scenes of The Dark Knight Rises to give you the story of how Nolan developed this idea along with his collaborator David Goyer and his brother Jonah. Then, how Bane was selected as the villain, and how world events like Occupy Wall Street gave the film a fortuitous sense of timing. But is Nolan giving himself too much credit by saying Bane foreshadowed Donald Trump? What exactly is Nolan saying in this movie, anyway? And is he trying to say one thing but accidentally saying something else, instead? Then, Laci and Matt review The Dark Knight Rises. Is Bane ultimately a letdown? Would the Joker have made more sense carrying out Bane's exact plan? Anne Hathaway is excellent as Selina Kyle, but does her character make sense? And is Marion Cotillard as "Miranda Tate" the least developed of all of Nolan's female characters? All this and more in a supersized episode as the podcast concludes its coverage of Nolan's trilogy of Batman films.   Watch Matt's video about The Road to El Dorado: https://youtu.be/y5x3zDnjXrg  Watch this Dark Knight Rises podcast in full on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@1weekrental  Get more 1-Week Rental on Patreon: https://patreon.com/1weekrental  Next episode: We're off on July 31, but we shall return on August 7, 2026 with an episode about Interstellar (2014)!   The Summer of Nolan is our summer 2026 miniseries covering the movie career of Christopher Nolan through nine movies on the main feed (plus additional episodes on the Patreon!), presented in chronological order, starting with Memento and going through Oppenheimer.

Zach Braff (Scrubs, Garden State, Shrinking) joins me again this week for a conversation that swings from gut busting funny to genuinely tender. Zach opens up about living with depression, the highs and lows of a creative life, and the shingles nightmare he survived while directing Florence Pugh in A Good Person. We get into the real story behind bringing Scrubs back, rebuilding Sacred Heart from nothing, and what it takes to earn the trust of legends like Harrison Ford and Morgan Freeman. He also gets honest about being hard on himself, losing his dog Roscoe after 17 years, and the rescue that became his best antidepressant. Thank you to our sponsors:

Welcome to NOLAN WEEK!Before reviewing his latest big budget opus (The Odyssey), let's revisit the beloved superhero sequel which helped push Oscar-winning writer/director Christopher Nolan (Inception, Oppenheimer, Dunkirk) into the pantheon of master modern filmmakers.  As a direct sequel to 2005's word-of-mouth hit Batman Begins, this was released with much fanfare as it was not only about the continuing adventures of Batman/Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) but also the reintroduction of a classic villain who happpens to be the latest threat to his beloved home of Gotham City. :o This new threat is mysteriously known as the Joker (Oscar-winner Heath Ledger) who has been havoc around the city, not only terrifying citizens but even threatening local organized crime.  And what results is an epic battle for the soul of Gotham involving not only Batman and the Joker, but local law enforcement lead by Comissioner Jim Gordon (Oscar-winner Gary Oldman), District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckart), and Assistant DA Rachel Dawes (Oscar-nominee Maggie Gyllenhaal).  Also co-starring at least two other Oscar-winners (Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman), this mega-smash would also receive eight Oscar nominations that year including two wins for Best Supporting Actor (Ledger) and Best Sound Editing - it would not only set a new bar for superhero movies moving forward but also action blockbusters.  Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/ 

On this week's episode of the pod, Jamelle and John cover Michael Bay's 1998 asteroid movie Armageddon — the one where oil drillers, not astronauts, are sent to save the world. They discuss why it reads as the most right-wing film they've covered: a movie that valorizes blue-collar white masculinity and treats scientists and bureaucrats as obstacles, an opening sequence that prefigures 9/11, and a worldview that anticipates George W. Bush–era conservatism. Also covered: the Michael Bay auteur-versus-slop debate, "space dementia," the movie's cynicism about government, and how impossible the physics actually is. Plus listener feedback and a look at what's ahead.Next on the main feed (new episodes every two weeks): the other 1998 asteroid movie, Mimi Leder's Deep Impact, with Robert Duvall, Téa Leoni, Elijah Wood, Morgan Freeman, and Vanessa Redgrave.Support the show at patreon.com/unclearpod — $5/month for roughly six episodes a month, including a weekly politics show and discussions of the political and military thrillers of the Cold War.

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture With the release of Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" arriving in theaters, our 2008 retrospective revisits his comic book action film that not only re-defined the genre, but changed the whole industry up until the Oscar nominations where it forced the Academy to expand the Best Picture lineup for the first time in decades, "The Dark Knight," starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Heath Ledger, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Morgan Freeman. Co-written with his brother Jonathan Nolan, the world had never seen a comic book film quite like Christopher Nolan's crime epic. Marked by the untimely passing of Heath Ledger before its release, the film had a tremendous amount of hype surrounding it during the summer of 2008 and continues to be talked about till this day for Ledger's iconic, Academy Award-winning performance, Nolan's grounded realism borrowing from other crime classics such as "Heat," the film's politics and how it directly commented on the Patriot Act, its themes of escalation, chaos, vigilantism and more! How does it hold up nearly 20 years later? Please tune in as Alyssa Christian, Josh Parham, Amy Kim, Brendan Hodges, and I talk about the film's screenplay, Nolan's direction, the performances, the action sequences, the film's historic awards season run, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.
