Hoy te cuento la historia de la relación profesional más tóxica y caótica de la historia del cine. Quizá no conocías los nombres de Werner Herzog ni de Klaus Kinski hasta hoy, pero te garantizo que después de escuchar este podcast, no los vas a olvidar. Rodajes peligrosísimos e infernales, violencia y agresiones, episodios de maltrato animal y numerosas perversiones sexuales son algunos de los temas que protagonizan esta historia. Juntos colaboraron en cintas que hoy se consideran de culto, pero tanto ellos como sus colaboradores tuvieron que pagar un precio altísimo. Este es, probablemente, el episodio más surrealista de toda la temporada. Pero para comprenderlo todo, comencemos por el principio…Si quieres ampliar información, te dejo aquí un listado con las películas mencionadas:

Werner Herzog is a filmmaker with an intuitive sense for showing the right thing at the right time, whether he is offering the story of a maniacal conquistador, Count Dracula, or himself eating his own shoe. Klaus Kinski was, according to many, more monster than man and an actor who resembled the megalomaniacs he portrayed. Together, Herzog and Kinski made five films. Kinski died in 1991; in 1999, Herzog released the documentary My Best Fiend about their relationship. The film combines the ravings of Kinski with the introspection of Herzog and explores the degree to which we are entertained by other people's volatility, how we fall in love with actors because of small gestures, and our misguided desire to believe that people who create beautiful art are beautiful themselves. In his 2023 memoir, Every Man for Himself and God Against All, Werner Herzog tells his story in his inimitable voice. Herzog by Ebert is a terrific collection of essays about Herzog's films by the Pulitzer Prize-winning critic. The collection Klaus Kinski: Beast of Cinema contains essays about Kinski's films and interviews with filmmakers and actors who worked with him. Follow us on X or Letterboxd.

My Best Fiend (1999) synopsis: “In the 1950s, an adolescent Werner Herzog was transfixed by a film performance of the young Klaus Kinski. Years later, they would share an apartment where, in an unabated, forty-eight-hour fit of rage, Kinski completely destroyed the bathroom. From this chaos, a violent, love-hate, profoundly creative partnership was born.”Director: Werner HerzogThis week on Podcasting After Dark, Corey and Zak conclude their two-part documentary review series with Werner Herzog's My Best Fiend! Unlike Lost Soul, this film covers multiple productions and a lifetime of collaboration and animosity.

PATREON EPISODE - https://www.patreon.com/posts/61596359 We begin by checking in on Canada's most tiresome public intellectual, Jordan Peterson, and analyzing one of the right's biggest enemies, "woke capitalism." Then, we turn our attention to a subject of longstanding mutual interest: the great German director Werner Herzog. Focusing on MY BEST FIEND (1999) and FIREBALL: VISITORS FROM DARKER WORLDS (2020), but extending far and wide, we discuss what we find great (and, occasionally, not-great) about the mighty auteur's work.

In this Christmas episode, Jay Hunter proclaims his devotion to the legendary film director and the Santa Claus of cinema, WERNER HERZOG. Jay recollects his life-changing run-ins with the Master and we passionately analyze Aguirre,The Wrath of God (1972), My Best Fiend (1999) and Little Dieter Needs to Fly (1997). Episode Links: Joe's Patreon Mr. Owl's Website

Fitzcarraldo is a 1982 film written and directed by German Icon Werner Herzog and starring infamous actor Klaus Kinski in what would be their penultimate collaboration. The film is based upon a real life rubber baron who transported a disassembled steamboat over land to secure his Rubber trade. In the film however Fitzcarraldo undertakes this feat to secure enough money to bring Opera to his jungle home. The film has a infamously troubled production as Herzog isolated the crew in the Amazon and forced them to manually haul a 320-ton steamship up a steep hill, this was captured in Les Blank's documentary film Burden of Dreams (1982), a rare and crucial companion film to the main film. Herzog's clashes with Kinski were legendary but on this already troubled set it caused so much strife that an extra offered to kill Kinski, Herzog candidly talked about this relationship in his film My Best Fiend (1999). We watched all three of these films and we question what is the necessary sacrifice for the completion of art.

Late one night at the Russell Square station in the London Underground, university students Patricia and her American exchange student boyfriend Alex find an unconscious man on the stairwell. Fearing that he may be diabetic, Patricia checks his wallet and finds a card that reads James Manfred, OBE. They inform a police officer, but find that Manfred has vanished. Inspector Calhoun is assigned to look into the disappearance. Calhoun questions Alex and suggests that he and Patricia robbed the man.Calhoun's colleague tells him about the history of the London Underground, particularly the Victorian railway workers who constructed the tunnels under dire conditions, and an urban legend that a group of descendants who survived an 1892 cave-in still live belowground. Meanwhile, one of the last surviving members of a family of these railway workers watches his pregnant female companion die; they have survived in the underground by resorting to cannibalism of the patrons. In an empty chamber, Manfred's body lies, mutilated. The man, now left in complete solitude, goes into a brutal murderous rage!.Death Line premiered in London on November 17, 1972 as a double bill with The Triple Echo and was later released in the United States under the title Raw Meat on October 3, 1973 in an edited cut to avoid an X rating.Something HorrificParasitehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xH0HfJHsaYCallshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfpzdSJlv6oNosferatuhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1Rachk7ipIMy Best Fiendhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lae8FewbnuU$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$Just in case anyone has too much money and wants to give a bit to us to help with our hosting n stuff.

Frequently on this show we read reviews from Roger Ebert, one of the most important film critics and historians of our time. During our “Raging Bull” episode, we listed Ebert’s 10 best films of all time. One of the films on this list was Werner Herzog’s “Aguirre, the Wrath of God”. We watched this film and collectively (although to varying degrees) did NOT like this film. During the episode, Adam & Ian discuss Klaus Kinski’s emotional & reckless past, how much pan flute is too much pan flute, and wrestle with the following question: why do perilous film shoots equate to films being well regarded? Also, this week both guys recommend Herzog documentaries: Adam with “Grizzly Man” and Ian with “My Best Fiend”. You can support the show at patreon.com/1001by1.

WOW! We (and you) just can’t believe it actually happened! The Documenteers managed to make it to 100 episodes. All those hours and hours and hours of….this. 100 documentaries. Months worth of editing time spent. Friendships shook. Relationships strained. All of that processed to this very point. Stuart and Bob discuss Werner Herzog’s biographical documentary “My Best Fiend”. A film about Werner’s turmoiled times with the notorious German actor Klaus Kinski. Stuart and Bob hosted episode 1 of the Documenteers. Perfect that they come together for episode 100 to discuss a film about a turmoiled friendship full of bickering, lies, and a smidgen of violence. You can watch “My Best Fiend” for freebies over at https://tubitv.com . A big special thing for this episode is that it is full of TOTALLY REAL CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENTS! We run the gamut of famous folks in this one! Authors! Actors! Comedians! Musicians! Politicians! Billionaires! We trot out all the hot shit for this episode. Also, this might be Stuart’s last episode. He wouldn’t speak of it on mic. He would probably deny it if you spoke to him directly about it. Stuart demanded the show start reviewing porn. He put his foot down and said it was either “Me and Porn” or “No-Porn and No-me”. Maybe someday we can patch this up, but probably not until Stuart seeks help with his porn addiction. But it’s ok. We got celebrities. We got flashbacks. We got some lost bits that you’ve never heard before. We got an extra sized end bumper. And finally, we have the name of the actor who played “Marie” in “Woyzeck”. Her name is Eva Mattes and we apologize for not remembering your name Eva. Your performance was fantastic. Also, Bob doesn’t write these episode descriptions. It’s me…Herman. I can’t believe this bullshit podcast has lasted this long and I’m embarrassed for everyone involved and embarrassed for anyone who listened to 2 seconds of this. I should do the world a favor and set this studio on fire. Nobody ever reads these so who gives a shit. I’ve jizzed in Bob’s grits multiple times. He always gets seconds. He will never read this and find out because he’s a giant narcissist with his head up his ass. I do think we should review porn, though. I’m with Stuart on this one. Whatever. Keep on Doccin’ www.documenteerspodcast.com Here’s the trailer to this fuckin’ movie: https://youtu.be/Lae8FewbnuU Here’s the damn movie, actually: https://youtu.be/Yn3hS8CLyvQ Here’s the 2nd half of the damn movie: https://youtu.be/oq4vinsWIUw Here’s a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaus_Kinski Give 5 stars and a review or your face will fall off and we’ll die: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/documenteers-the-documentary-podcast/id1321652249

In this episode of the Director's Club, we try to keep pace with the second half of the career of Werner Herzog.  It's a journey that moves from examinations of social issues we deal with today to artistry from the dawn of man (presented in 3D, no less!), from the Alaskan wilderness to the hearts of volcanoes to the southernmost part of the Earth itself, and leapfrogs several times over the borders of documentary and fiction filmmaking.

“There is no great genius without some touch of madness,” Aristotle once penned, as quoted by Seneca. And in no case does this aphorism greater apply than with respect to the inimitable Klaus Kinski. Famed for his work with the similarly mad Teutonic filmmaker Werner Herzog (whose highly amusing relationship with was documented in My Best Fiend), Kinski had spent over a decade working in German Edgar Wallace krimis and Italian and Spanish “Spaghetti and Paella” Westerns before ever meeting Herzog…and would spend the better part of the next decade starring in ever quirkier Eurotica and US slasher film productions, while delivering bizarre spoken word performances where he’d work himself into a lather claiming he was Christ (!) And then there’s All I Need is Love… Join us as we stare into the Nietzchean abyss that is the life and career of Klaus Kinski! Week 43 Into the Mouth of Madness with Klaus Kinski

What is the prime directive? This week, join iron butt, boner, and the asshole as we review Paul Verhoeven’s sci-fi satire Robocop. Joining us for the ride is the always funny and nerd trivia genius Mark Middlemas. Along with that, we wrap up our Werner Herzog Festival with his 1999 documentary about Klaus Kinski, My Best Fiend.
