Daniel, Shahbaz, and Anthony review Joseph Kosinski's F1: THE MOVIE starring Brad Pitt. Dubbed “the greatest that never was,” Sonny Hayes was FORMULA 1's most promising phenom of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, he's a nomadic racer-for-hire when he's approached by his former teammate to come back to F1 for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world. The film also stars Damson Idris, Kerry Condon and Javier Bardem. F1: THE MOVIE is now playing exclusively in theatres.

In our latest tribute, Janet, John, (and Pen) celebrate the life and career of a revered American actor whose career spanned over four decades... Gene Hackman! After serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, he decided to prove his teachers wrong and move to New York City to become an actor, eventaully getting his breakthrough role in Bonnie and Clyde (1967). From playing a rough NYPD detective to Superman's arch nemisis, Hackman did it all, with over eighty screen credits to his name! An acting titan of 1970s and 80s Hollywood, the two-time academy award and four-time Golden Globes winner starred in numerous classics such as Bonnie and Clyde (1967), I Never Sang for My Father (1970), The French Connection (1971), Superman films (1978–1987), Hoosiers (1986), Unforgiven (1992), The Royal Tenenbaums (1994), and more up until his final film role in Welcome to Mooseport (2004), after which he retired from acting, occasionally narrating documentaries until 2017.

Well, a movie finally broke us. Horror and mortal terror have a face. In the absolutely dreadful “family film” Tooth Fairy (2010)—quite possibly the worst movie our podcast has ever covered—Dwayne Johnson plays Derek Thompson, a hockey player who specializes in knocking out opponents' teeth. He has a lot on his plate: He's dating Ashley Judd, who has two kids: An adorable little girl who loves him and a punk teenage boy who thinks he's full of crap (Because he is.). At the same time, Derek has some hotshot new competition in the form of Mick “The Stick” Donnelly, a hot-shot new prospect who is described in the span of 25 seconds by the team's coach as both “the future face of this (minor league) franchise” and “only here for a cup of coffee before he makes the NHL.” Then he becomes the Tooth Fairy. Hilarity ensues. Next week: We're off! We return on July 11 for an episode about Fast Five (2011). The Summer of Rock is our summer 2025 miniseries covering the movie career of Dwayne Johnson through nine movies, presented in chronological order. Starting with his attempt at crossing over from the world of wrestling, The Rock's career got off to a bumpy start before finally taking off in the 2010s. But it wasn't long before the bumps returned, and we'll be telling the story for you all summer long! Bonus video: Matt explains how director Paul Verhoeven could predict how the future would feel, through examining three of his movies: RoboCop, Total Recall, and Starship Troopers.

Alle Infos zum Ratatouille-Screening: www.filmforumnrw.de/Film-und-Kritik Uns ist klar, dass nicht alle ein riesiges TV-Set Up haben, das mit Kino-Leinwänden mithalten kann. Manche von uns haben ja noch nicht mal einen Fernseher! Xenia und Lenny diskutieren deshalb mal, welche unkonventionelle Art und Weise, einen Film zu schauen (auf dem Handy auf Klo? Im Zug ohne Kopfhörer?) vertretbar ist, und welche einem kulturellen Komplettausfall gleich kommt. Außerdem besprechen wir die Starts der Woche, unter anderem F1, JURASSIC WORLD: DIE WIEDERGEBURT, FREAKY TALES (mit Pedro Pascal!) und die vierte Staffel von THE BEAR. Und zu guter Letzt machen die beiden, inspiriert von MEGAN 2.0, der diese Woche in den Kinos anläuft, das absolute Horror-Puppen-Ranking: Wer ist gruseliger? Megan oder Annabelle?

Madeline, Julian, and Emilio welcome back past guest and Julian's longtime friend Michaela Brady to continue discussing films with Musicians-Turned-Actors, and this time it's a "Mise-Unseen" on Nicolas Roeg's 1976 film "The Man Who Fell to Earth," starring David Bowie in his first acting role. Centered on the titular alien's efforts to harness earthly resources and bring water back to his drought-laden home planet, the film blends its literary world-building with a tone barely seen in films after the 1970s, by way of first-time actor Bowie's naturalism, Roeg's unconventional direction, and an eclectic supporting cast. A first-time watch for all, the group compares this film to others they didn't get on an initial watch, but still found compelling, along with discussing its reflections of the 1970s zeitgeist and dropping plenty of Bowie-related anecdotes, both personal and well-known, along the way.Listeners - what are some movies you didn't quite understand on first watch, but knew you wanted to come back to? Let us know here, and we'll share your responses on an upcoming episode: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1N6B0AYVGegnis7UYhE82ZDR8AMDvGb-79Yvgo1JT-6I/editFollow Michaela Brady on IG @mnbawriter or @jillnjeff11, and check out her writing and blog at michaela-n-brady.com.If you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.

The heat is back on as the Born to Watch crew heads back to Beverly Hills for some high-octane hijinks, fast-talking cons, and serious shoulder-padded style. In this week's episode, Whitey, G-Man, and Dan on the Land revisit the 1987 sequel that turned up the dial on Eddie Murphy's star power with their Beverly Hills Cop II Review, directed by the ever-slick Tony Scott.From the moment Axel Foley slides behind the wheel of a Ferrari to the final shootout at the oil fields, the team breaks down why this neon-soaked action-comedy remains an ‘80s icon. They revel in Murphy's unmatched charisma, dissect the film's bold visual flair, and relive the glory of Harold Faltermeyer's synth-driven score and Bob Seger's anthemic “Shakedown.”Whitey goes deep on Tony Scott's signature aesthetic, the burnished orange hues, the stylized action, the hyper-stylized masculinity, while G-Man keeps it grounded with sharp takes on the film's functional but fun villainy and the lovable duo of Rosewood and Taggart. Meanwhile, Dan (pizza in hand) dishes on Eddie's behind-the-scenes power moves and the rise of “Eddie Murphy Productions,” proving this was the moment Axel Foley became Eddie Murphy's true alter ego.The boys aren't afraid to poke fun, either. From the inexplicable countdown robberies and oddly muscular strippers to baffling wardrobe coincidences (how did that blazer fit Taggart so well?), this episode's got more questions than an alphabet heist. And don't get them started on the extra at the Playboy Mansion doing an interpretive dance; he's earned a permanent spot in the Bad Running Ripley Hall of Fame.They also tip their hats to the era: the coke-fueled Simpson/Bruckheimer production madness, the bafflingly low Rotten Tomatoes scores despite the film being the second biggest box office hit of 1987, and the sheer power of a good montage scored by Seger. It's a masterclass in style-over-substance, but sometimes style is the substance.And of course, it wouldn't be a Born to Watch episode without diversions into North Shore memories, Magnum P.I. comparisons, and the origin story of Dan's legendary mustard shirt. If you know, you know.So, whether you're an ‘80s kid raised on VHS or just discovering that Beverly Hills had a crime problem solvable only by Detroit's finest, this episode is a full-throttle celebration of a sequel that doesn't just play the hits, it cranks them.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts!Join the conversation:Is Beverly Hills Cop II better than the original? Does Tony Scott's style elevate the film or overshadow it?

Our financial flop season concludes with John Carter on trial this week. Will we jump for joy, or could we not give a Thark? Ausy and Alex say a huge overspend on budget distracts from the fact that this is a fun adaptation of one of the earliest and most influential sci-fi series by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Dave and Mike argue that even forgetting the terrible marketing and extensive reshoots, John Carter ends up looking like a cheap imitation of Star Wars instead of its inspiration. All this with an impression of Willem Dafoe and a quiz all about flops www.filmsontrial.co.uk/270 Special Guest: Mike.
Send us a textDo you remember Pump Up The Volume from 1990? Who didn't want to start a shortwave radio show just like Christian Slater's character in the movie? Maybe ours wouldn't have been as deep or thought provoking, but it would have been fun. Join us as we go back to the beginning of the 90s & look at the fashion, listen to the music and witness the teen angst that was the 90s teenager life. And then probably laugh.

In this episode of Challenge Accepted, Thomas and Frank celebrate the 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg's iconic film Jaws. They revisit the movie that redefined the summer blockbuster, breaking down everything from unforgettable performances to behind-the-scenes innovations. The conversation explores the film's themes of fear, fatherhood, trauma, and nature vs. man, while also highlighting Spielberg's genius in turning technical failures into cinematic gold. Plus, a compelling fan theory about Chief Brody adds a whole new layer to the film.

I was waiting for my turn.” “The shark isn't the villain. It's nature doing what it does. The villain is fear and denial.” “It's not about killing the shark. It's about what Brody's trying to kill inside himself.” Call to Action: Enjoying the show?
