A Bug's Life (1998) is up next in the 'Movies That Made Me' month, and maybe we didn't peak as early as we thought. Well, Mulan is still the peak, just to be clear. However, A Bug's Life is surprisingly good, to the point that it even makes Calum positive for a couple of minutes. So why has this film been so forgotten to the sands of time? We don't answer that on this podcast because we're not that kind of smart. We do have a good time though.Join us next week as we watch Toy Story (1995)

In fact, if you ask the people that Sam made watch all of these on repeat, this does in fact beat Mulan (in their wrong opinion).

Hello! Welcome to another edition of the exclusive audio commentary podcast hosted by me, David Hughes. This episode is sponsored by boutique Blu-ray label Plumeria Pictures, whose latest release is The Big Man, aka Crossing the Line, an underrated 1990 drama with a blistering lead performance by Liam Neeson, and a cast that includes Joanne Whalley, Ian Bannen, Billy Connolly, Hugh Grant, Peter Mullan and more. The Blu-ray contains not one but three new audio commentaries, from producer Stephen Woolley, director David Leland and screenwriter Don Macpherson. Check out this and other Plumeria exclusives at PlumeriaPics.co.uk and use code ROGUE10 at checkout to get 10% off storewide. For this, our 25th episode, I'm delighted to welcome Academy Award® nominated screenwriter, director, podcaster and famous non-reader of scripts Josh Olson, for a walk through A History of Violence, David Cronenberg's 2005 adaptation of the 1997 graphic novel by John Wagner and Vince Locke. Olson received his first Oscar® nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay for the film, and if you've read the source material, it's easy to see why, as he distilled the essence from Wagner and Locke's neo-noir page-turner – which is almost impossible not to read in a single sitting – into a film that goes fathoms deeper in its exploration of how violence infects ordinary people, as insidiously, inescapably and devastatingly as any of the physiological effects in Cronenberg's body-horror oeuvre. I'm immensely grateful to Josh for joining me on this journey, not least because his episode-by-episode deconstruction of The West Wing in his and Dave Anthony's podcast The West Wing Thing, was key to making lockdown bearable. I'm also a long time fan of his other podcast, The Movies That Made Me, and I'm now juggling episodes of that with episodes of his brilliant audio drama podcast Bronzeville, starring Laurence Fishburne, Lorenz Tate, Mekhi Pfeiffer, Lance Reddick and many more, with his new politics podcast The Audit. In short, it's all Josh all the time on my podcast player. Comments? Feedback? Suggestions? Email David *at * Rogue-Commentary *dot* com or send us a tweet.

Director Joe Dante (Gremlins, Piranha, The Movies That Made Me podcast) joins the Video Archives crew on a journey to find Servando González's The Fool Killer! Taking place shortly after the Civil War, a young Southern boy wanders the countryside, meeting various odd characters along the way. One of them tells him the story of the vengeful Fool Killer. Quentin, Roger & Joe discuss the history of the film, the striking performances of the actors, and the director's determination to push the boundaries on screen. Next up, The Young Nurses have their own brand of medicine, and in their hospital, patients always come first. In this New World picture, we follow three nurses and a candy striper as they navigate their day-to-day activities inside the hospital. Quentin, Roger & Joe discuss the genre of nurse films, the relationship between Julie and Roger Corman, and Joe's involvement with the film. Finally, let's spend a night in the countryside with Susan, Sandra, Olga and Julie, in My Nights With Susan, Sandra, Olga and Julie. Anton has been tasked with retrieving Susan, a famous fashion model, and bringing her back to the French Riviera.

Howdy do, my beautiful Succotashians! Even if this is your very first time applying our audiciously fragrant soundcast to your earholes, we still regard you as one of us. That's how inclusive and “woke” Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast is. (In fact, we consider ourselves to be “wuck”, the past tense of “woke”, because we're so far beyond it…) What am I even saying? There might be an exhaust leak going on right now in my Mobile Studio MX-30, except that this my Mazda EV so that's not possible. Oh, well. Where are my manners? I'm Marc Hershon, your every-other-weekly host for this show and you're listening to Episode 340. And – with no clips featured this time around — this will be our first Succotash Chat of the year! If you missed last week's installment, then I'll wait while you go back and grab Epi339 with our delightful and alternating co-host Tyson Saner. T-Bone (a nickname I've never called him before) celebrated hosting his 100th Succotash show by cranking out a quartet of tasty clipbits from the shows The Movies That Made Me, Of Mice and Men and Monsters, The Three Questions with Andy Richter, and Sensibly Cynical. You can find it all across the soundcastiverse – from Apple and Google Podcasts and Spotify, to Soundcloud, Amazon Music, Audible, iHeart Radio, and many, many other distribution points. If all else fails – or maybe try here first – hop over to our homesite at SuccotashShow.com. As for this episode – and isn't that why we're all gathered here today? — my special guest is Dr. London Smith. He's the host of The Jock Doc Podcast, a soundcast we've not only featured here before but which I was fortunate and delighted to have been invited to appear on several times. The show shares a little bit of similarity to Comedy Bang Bang, in that London and his producer, Cameron, have guests on who always are portraying interesting and mostly insane characters. My chat with London goes into some interesting territory, and we spend a lot of time discussing the move he's making in his career choice – away from medicine (he's actually got bona fide doctor training and practice in his arsenal) and towards acting and comedy. He goes into when he was a “child star”, a title that I think has merit as he was the lead in a movie when he was 12 years old. It's a lengthy chat, so I get right into it, right after a brand new commercial from our longtime, broke-ass sponsor Henderson's Pants and their new Supply Chain Issue Pants! The main jumping off point for him is at JockDocPodcast.com. The other links for some of the project London mention, like David Diamondhands on Tiktok, William Does Streaming, and Frozen Soul can be found hanging out in the blog entry for this very episode at our homesite, SuccotashShow.com. That's going to do it for Epi340. I have to go to the network president's office and explain why we ran over time this episode – but I think it was worth it, don't you? While I'm taking the heat for that, why don't you jot down a reminder to come back to this same feed next week to catch Tyson Saner and Succotash Episode 241? In the meantime, if you find yourself being chased down the street by a vicious dog and you manage to leap to safety through the open window of a passing car, and the startled driver looks down at you in their lap and asks, “Have you heard anything good lately?”, won't you please pass the Succotash? — Marc Hershon

Saluton, estas mi Tyson Saner welcoming you to this episode of Succotash that numbers 339. This is my first fully produced episode for 2023, and I thank you for making this your listening destination for the next more-or-less half-hour of your life. Did you catch Epi338 last week? In it, executive producer and show creator Marc Hershon brought you an episode called "First-of-the-year Foursome" in which he selected for you a quartet of clips from the soundcasts known as SNAFU, The Retrospectors' Today in History, The Worst Idea of All Time, and Unpopular Opinion. Also in that episode a brand new advertisement from "our longtime, non-paying, and completely fake sponsor Henderson's Pants featuring the new Bottoms Up Cargo Pants, with a design inspired by our very own Bill Heywatt". So that's fun. On a serious note…It was pointed out in that episode that THIS episode of Succotash will be the 100th that I have assembled. Some very nice and thoughtful things were said in that episode regarding my contributions to Succotash over the years and I couldn't be more grateful to be a part of this operation going on 9 years this April. It's nice to be appreciated. This week on Succotash, I have 4 clips for you, from the soundcasts The Movies That Made Me, Of Mice and Men and Monsters, The Three Questions with Andy Richter, and…what's basically a bonus clip from Sensibly Cynical to lead off the proceedings…if that's the correct way to put things. And the whole shootin' match is brought to you by Henderson's Pants working man and woman's favorite: CoverAlls! CLIPS Sensibly Cynical Recently over at the soundcast known as Sensibly Cynical, host Sean Pratten put together a clip show comprised of moments he determined to be the "Best of 2022". I have been fortunate enough to be asked to guest on his program 5 times in recent years, and Sean graciously decided to include a snippet of one of our conversations that took place in 2022. Eventually, we put together a list that was a "Mount Rushmore" of rock music. This clip is from earlier in the conversation. The Movies That Made Me Filmmakers and entertainers discuss the movies that inspired them. Hosted by Oscar nominated screenwriter and Trailers From Hell guru Josh Olson and fearless leader himself, director Joe Dante. The Movies That Made Me is recorded live in Hollywood and engineered by film composer Don Barrett. Our clip is from the premiere episode which dropped back in July of 2018 with guest, director Miguel Arteta (Beatriz At Dinner, The Good Girl, Duck Butter), who joins to discuss his love for the movies of Russ Meyer. Of Mice And Men And MonstersFrom the show's description, this is a real play podcast where Dungeons & Dragons collides with the classic stories you either love or completely avoided while in school. Join players Aaron, Adam, Kimmie, and Dungeon Master Katelyn, who is also a high school English teacher by day, as D&D elements are dropped into famous pieces of literature. The clip comes from July 27th, 2022 - Chapter 49: "Macbeth - Part 1" - As our heroes arrive at Lady Macbeth's villa, the hunt for the 2nd mysterious page has officially begun! The Three Questions with Andy RichterAs the show's description enlightens us regarding this soundcast: host Andy Richter asks the same three questions to each guest: Where do you come from? Where are you going? What have you learned? These three simple questions, when answered honestly and thoughtfully, are enough to provide a pretty complete picture of who a person is. The answers are what Andy always wants to know about people. This will not be a one-sided process, as Andy won't shy away from getting personal himself. I'm clipping from right toward the end of this past year, the epi that dropped the day after Christmas. Andy's guests are The Sklar Brothers. Randy and Jason join Andy Richter to discuss the marriage of sports and comedy, finding their scene(s), going to the same college as your twin, and much more. Congratulations to us! We made it to the end of the beginning of Succotash 2023. Episode #339 comes more-or-less neatly to a close, and here we all are tearfully waving at it from the docks as it heads for the Undying Lands of the internet where nothing really goes away unless magnets… Hopefully?…We will have hard drives in our heads that will be magnetically shielded against accidental EMPs or perhaps M.R.I. machines…I'm not 100% sure how all that works, but I am grasping at straws. Maybe things are supposed to go away regardless of modern methods of record-keeping. The more I think about it, I realize that all methods of record-keeping were "modern" at one point. Thankfully, we have the podcast — or the soundcast as we refer to them here on Succotash — as a way of keeping records that exist as long as the methods that preserve them are sound, and people take the time to listen to them. So, thank you for taking some of your time to listen to us. We really appreciate it. Perhaps you'd like to share your experience of us with other people? We'd also appreciate that. And tank you to everyone at Succotash for making me feel welcome over the years…Thank you, the audience, for being with us whenever you are or were. Be decent to each other, and if someone asks you if you have heard anything good or interesting lately, and we happen to qualify as your answer…won't you please pass the Succotash? — Tyson Saner

Huge thank you to legendary director Joe Dante for coming on my show for an interview! Joe discussed his passion for movies starting at a young age by going to the movie theaters, his love for classic Horror films, and how he started working with Roger Corman. He talked about directing The Howling, wanting to cut down the iconic werewolf transformation scene, and originally promoting this film as a slasher. He got into directing his iconic film Gremlins, in which Steven Spielberg sent him the script in the mail. He told the stories of when he knew that Howie Mandel was the perfect voice for Gizmo and why he wanted Kate's monologue scene to be in the film. Joe then got into why he didn't want to make Gremlins 2: The New Batch, the technology being easier to use the Gremlin puppets in this film, and the references to Lon Chaney Sr.'s face reveal in the 1925 The Phantom of the Opera and Rambo. He talked about the upcoming animated Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai that will be airing on HBO Max soon and the upcoming Roger Corman biopic that he is currently working on. We went over his contributions to the Horror genre, Horror films that impressed him recently, and he gave great advice on what makes a great Horror sequel.

Contrasts: Kramer vs Kramer (1979) d Robert Benton; Tootsie (1982) d Sydney Pollack TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD (1962) d Robert Mulligan A classic movie (adaptation of Harper Lee's classic book) which is particularly interesting to revisit with a post-Black Lives Matter perspective. Racism, justice, community – all through the gaze of a child. Contrast: In the Name of the Father (1993) d Jim Sheridan JUST MERCY (2019) d Destin Daniel Cretton Jamie Foxx reminds us how incredibly versatile he is in this searing true story about a black man falsely convicted of a murder that takes place in the Harper Lee's home town. Contrast:  A Few Good Men (1992) Rob Reiner A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH (1946) d Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger A wonderfully rich film that is both truly of its time – just after World War 2 – and yet its playing with form and dealing with diversity are so relevant today. Contrast: The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) d Robert Wise TWELVE ANGRY MEN (1957) d Sidney Lumet The quintessential movie about a jury which actually started out as a TV drama ( and you can literally see why). The group is all ready to condemn and to punish… until a single individual quietly suggests they take one more look.

Contrast: A Beautiful Mind (2001) when Russell Crowe was still a screen actor (and a good one!) rather than just a screen persona. SOME LIKE IT HOT d Billy Wilder (1959) The second Billy Wilder movie to be chosen by a guest on The Movies That Made Me… and why not? Starring Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe, this is genuine Hollywood gold (albeit based on an obscure French movie from 1935 called Fanfare of Love). Contrast: Shakespeare in Love (1998) See below… SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE d John Madden (1998) More cross-dressing and disguises (see above) this time with Joseph Fiennes. One of the best ever representations of theatre on film. Plus one of a tiny number of movies in which you don't wish Gwyneth Paltrow had been replaced by another actress. Contrast: Stage Beauty (2004) THE PRODUCERS d Mel Brooks (1967) Quite simply my favourite comedy ever, with career-defining performances from Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder. Though originally scheduled to star Peter Sellers and Dustin Hoffman! Contrast: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988) HAROLD AND MAUDE (1971) Inter-generational satire from Hal Ashby more famous for box office hits Being There and Shampoo, critically-acclaimed The Last Detail and Best Picture Oscar winner Coming Home.

Web www.mra.co.uk Web www.srivastavatherapy.co.uk The Movies That Made Them Want To Change The World GREGORY'S GIRL (d Bill Forsyth) 1981 A film that is sweet without being sentimental, hopeful without being naïve, with an object of desire that subtly takes control. A remarkable portrait of an unremarkable teenager. Contrast - The Inbetweeners Movie BOY (d Taika Waititi) 2012 A father and son re-unite, two cultures join across an ocean, and innocence is on the line in 1980's Aotearoa / New Zealand. Waititi's blend of humour and pathos, of optimism and discovery is already laid out in his most autobiographical movie. The end credits sequence is outstanding! Contrast - Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol.2 THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS (d Gillo Pontecorvo) 1966 So realistic some audiences thought they were watching a documentary. Banned in France for being to honest about its colonial past. Proudly political it is simultaneously gripping as a human drama, thriller and war movie. Contrast – The Wind that Shakes the Barley DESERT HEARTS (d Donna Deitch) 1985 A landmark movie as Queer Cinema meets the mainstream, putting Jane Rule's 1964 romantic novel on screen – stunning landscapes, honest performances with actors and director putting their careers on the line. It was viciously attacked by the New York Times but is now a deserved cult classic. Contrast – Lianna THE FLORIDA PROJECT (d Sean Baker) 2017 The most sublime final sequence I have witnessed this century. And the movie before that is pretty darn great too! It excels across more than one genre and is one of the best movies centred on a single building, in cinema. Contrast – Les Quatre Cents Coups FIVE EASY PIECES (d Bob Rafelson) 1970 Full of sound and fury signifying… a great deal. My favourite performance by Jack Nicholson in my favourite film from the Easy Rider / Raging Bull era. Karen Black is a revelation in a classic “going home” movie.

Martha Julier is a film graduate, and a Script Editor working in TV Drama. Despite this, she has somehow retained her love of Film & TV.  As a freelance script editor, Martha's worked on projects for BBC, ITV and FX/Disney+. Dan O'Connor is one of the world's foremost innovators in unscripted theatre. He is a multifaceted actor, improviser, writer, and director performing on television and stage around the world. His training includes the American Conservatory Theater and extensive work with Keith Johnstone (Author of Impro) since 1986. He is a graduate of the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in London.  Dan is the founder of the critically acclaimed Impro Theatre and is a co-founder of BATS Improv in San Francisco and LA Theatresports. Dan has been teaching internationally for 30 years training writers, actors and directors about narrative storytelling and exploring the future of theatre. In that time he has also worked with corporate clients using improvisation as tool for adaptation and change. He has been guest performer with everyone from Second City to Groundlings. Most recently he has developed the "LIVING STORY BOARD" with Stephen Kearin an ongoing development process for animators, storyboard artists and writers at Disney and Dreamworks Animation. He co-wrote Life UnScripted: Using Improv Principles to Get Unstuck, Boost Confidence, and Transform Your Life published by North Atlantic Books. You can watch Dan's TED Talk titled “Improvising a Better World” by clicking here.   Love Is In The Air... IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE 1946 (Frank Capra) Post-war America in need of healing finds family man and community leader, Jimmy Stewart on the precipice of self-destruction. Can love pull him back? The movie that most defines Capra-esque. Contrast: A Christmas Carol (1951) MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE 1985 (Stephen Frears) Race, Class, Sexuality and Toxic Masculinity all explored with candour and passion decades before “woke” meant anything more than what you did before eating breakfast. Hanif Kureishi's best screenplay, the launch of Daniel Day-Lewis as a movie star. Against a backdrop of heartless Thatcherite Britain. Contrast: Loving (2016) STRICTLY BALLROOM 1992 (Baz Luhrmann) The movie that gave the BBC the title (well, half) of its most popular TV show of the last twenty years. Outsiders from different worlds come together in the Australian auteur's first film. The sequence using Cindy Lauper's True Colours is sublime. Contrast: Romeo + Juliet (1996) LA BELLE E LA BETE 1946 (Jean Cocteau) Poet, playwright, artist, novelist, Cocteau's live action telling of the classic tale ask the eternal question: can true love redeem? Magical. Contrast: Beauty and the Beast (1991) BEFORE SUNRISE 1995 (Richard Linklater) The most romantic film inspired by a railway station since Brief Encounter. Semi-improvised dialogue between Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy as lovers thrown together by chance adds authenticity and intelligence to a film that launched the most unlikely movie franchise. Right person, wrong time, wrong place…. can love survive? Contrast: The Lady Vanishes (1936) CASABLANCA 1942 (Michael Curtiz) When love of justice and romantic love collide, one must be sacrificed? Bogart. Bergman. And a world of talent on and off-camera. Luke's favourite film. Film's most romantic song. Contrast: There is none. It's a non-pareil.
