Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us. This week with Toy Story 5 coming out on June 19th, we are going back to look at all of the previous movies in this great franchise. On today's episode, Steve Riddle is reviewing “Toy Story 3” from 2010 starring Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Ned Beatty & Michael Keaton.
It's four years later...what does she remember? Spring Into Sequels month reaches it's conclusion with 1977's EXCORCIST II: THE HERETIC. As Regan attempts to live a normal life after her childhood ordeal, a psychiatrist and a priest use a controversial technique to probe her memories and monitor her mental health. What begins as therapy spirals into a far-reaching exploration of faith, shared visions, and an ancient force that spans continents. Also this week: The Pizza Hut Pazuzu is back, Ben and Lance action Figures, and bus drivers eating hoagies? All this--and a whole lot more--on this week's episode of NEON BRAINIACS!!

This week we talk about Steven Spielberg's choatic comedy flop 1941. When I Google "1941 movie" I get Citizen Kane. This movie is not Citizen Kane.SPOILER ALERT We do talk about this movie in its entirety. If you plan on watching it, for God knows what reason, we suggest you do so before listening to our takes.A Universal Pictures and Columbia Pictures production. Released on December 14, 1979. Directed by Steven Spielberg. Written by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, based on a story by Zemeckis, Gale, and John Milius. Starring Dan Aykroyd, Ned Beatty, John Belushi, John Candy, Christopher Lee, Toshiro Mifune, and Robert Stack. Cinematography by William A. Fraker. Edited by Michael Kahn. Score by John Williams.
Before Benj Thall was cutting trailers at some of the most influential shops in the business, he was a working child actor starring in Disney's Homeward Bound films alongside legends like Leslie Nielsen and Ned Beatty. That early life on film sets didn't just give him screen credits — it gave him a love for every corner of the craft that eventually led him behind the camera, through film school at USC, and into the edit bay. In this episode, Corey and Benj trace a career that spans Global Doghouse, Harley's House/Ignition, Mojo, and Monster, and dig into what it means to carry a trailer editor's sensibility into feature film cutting. Benj also shares the story behind Monument, the political thriller starring Jon Voight and Joe Mazzello that he edited — a deeply personal project that connects his love of storytelling, his actor's instincts, and his late father's memory. Key Takeaways The edit bay as classroom. Benj's early days at Global Doghouse meant literally knocking on Kevin Childress or Doug Brandt's door to make dubs — and using every excuse to watch them cut. Proximity to great editors, not formal training, was the real education. Emotional truth is the through line. Whether cutting a two-minute trailer or a two-hour feature, Benj is always hunting the same thing: the moment an audience doesn't know what comes next. That instinct, sharpened over decades of trailer work, is exactly what he argues trailer editors bring to features that classically trained film editors often don't. Shops shape artists. Global Doghouse and Harley's House weren't just workplaces — they were creative environments that challenged editors to push against convention. Benj credits the culture at both shops, as much as any individual mentor, for forming his aesthetic. Knowing when you're too close. On Monument, Benj cut his own trailer for the film he edited — then pressed the producers to bring in a second editor because he recognized he was too close to the material. That kind of self-awareness is rare, and he makes the case for why it matters. Trailer skills are transferable — and increasingly valued. From working with stems and sculpting music in the rough cut to getting creative out of under-covered scenes, Benj sees a real and growing appetite for trailer editors in feature post. The hustle is different, but the toolkit is more relevant than ever. Standout Quotes "It's gotta be those quick moments of emotional impact for me." "Different parts of a movie are gonna speak differently to everyone. You're looking for those universal moments that speak to all of our humanity." "I've fallen in love with cutting features. If you've got a two-actor scene, the third actor is the editor." "I pressed the production — we need to get another look. I am too close to the material." "To probably my financial detriment, I've never been locked down. But for a creative, it's about staying open to opportunities that might come."

This week on The Video Store Podcast, I am recommending four movies built around one of the simplest and most reliable science fiction ideas there is, shrinking people down. It is a strong trope because every one of these films understands that once a character gets small, nothing has to be exotic to feel dangerous. A bloodstream can look like deep space. A shopping cart can feel absurd and threatening at the same time. A backyard can turn into a full scale survival story. The fun of these movies is not just the effect itself, it is the way each one finds its own tone inside the same basic setup.Fantastic Voyage starts this set in an old-style studio style. Richard Fleischer directed it, Raquel Welch was still early in her career, and the movie ended up winning Academy Awards for art direction and special effects. Isaac Asimov wrote the novelization, which helped give the film an added layer of science fiction prestige even though the movie was not adapted from one of his earlier books. It is still one of those sixties films where the production design does a lot of the selling. You are watching people turn the inside of a human body into a full cinematic world, and they do it with real confidence.The Incredible Shrinking Woman takes the same basic concept and pushes it toward satire. Lily Tomlin is the main reason to see it, and she is surrounded by exactly the kind of bright, slightly unreal suburban world that makes the jokes work. Jane Wagner wrote it, Joel Schumacher directed it, and the movie has a cast that includes Charles Grodin and Ned Beatty. There is also a nice eighties detail in the score, since Suzanne Ciani handled the music, which gives the film one more thing separating it from the older version of this idea. It is not the most famous title in this group, but it feels very specific to its moment, especially in the way it folds consumer culture and household products into the premise.Innerspace may be the easiest recommendation here because it is so good at being funny, fast, and a little chaotic without losing track of the effects work. Joe Dante directed it, Dennis Quaid and Martin Short make a very good mismatch at the center, and the movie won the Academy Award for visual effects. This is one of those late eighties studio movies where the effects are both impressive and funny. It also has that Dante who has a habit of making a mainstream movie feel just a little off center. You can sense the touch of Industrial Light and Magic in the technical side, but it never turns into a dry demonstration reel.Honey, I Shrunk the Kids is a joy to watch. Joe Johnston made his live action directing debut with it, Rick Moranis is exactly right for the inventor at the center, and Disney turned a backyard into a full adventure landscape. It was a major hit, and for a while it stood as Disney's highest grossing live action film. Part of what makes it hold up is that so much of it was built around practical effects, oversized sets, models, puppetry, and carefully staged perspective tricks. It also had Tummy Trouble attached in theaters, so for a lot of people there was a Roger Rabbit bonus built into the experience. That is a pretty good rental memory to have.What I like about putting these four recommendations is that they show how flexible a shrinking movie can be. One plays it as a polished sixties science fiction trip. One turns it into satire. One uses it for special effects comedy with a little manic energy. One makes it into a family adventure that a lot of people probably first met on cable or VHS. Same basic hook, very different results. That is usually a good sign you have a real movie trope and not just a gimmick.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

Never mess with the money. Newscaster Howard Beale has been fired from television, but not before he has a mental breakdown live on-air. What could be better for ratings? One of the great satires of the 1970s is a film that meant a lot to our host Mary, but co-host Dennis has never seen before, so what better to cover for Dennis Versus the Movies month? Starring: William Holden, Faye Dunaway, Peter Finch, Robert Duvall, Ned Beatty, and Beatrice Straight. Written by Paddy Chayefsky. Directed by Sidney Lumet.

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Jim back on the show as they discuss the 1986 comedy, Back to School. In this Rodney Dangerfield classic, Sam Kinison, Burt Young and Ned Beatty try to teach two generations of Melons that with enough money, you can be a world class diver Wait...is that the message? Maybe Robert Downey Jr, Sally Kellerman and Adrienne Barbeau try to teach them love. Well, whatever the moral of the story was, it was a really big check. Enjoy the podcast!Jason, Andy and Dana will discuss a 1986 movie weekly, breaking down all the nonsense there within. The 3 hosts all work together and everyone else around them was getting really annoyed at all the movie talk, so they decided to annoy the world in podcast form.Check out previous seasons to hear them discuss 1982, 1983, 1984 & 1985 movies, as well as a full season of Love Boat episodes (if that is your thing). Plus one-off specials and a weekly mini "what are we watching" podcast.#jezoo74 #aegonzo1 #danacapoferri #exciting_new
Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us. Since we are in the midst of this year's NFL playoffs, this week we are covering football movies. On today's episode, Steve Riddle is reviewing “Rudy” from 1993 starring Sean Astin, Jon Favreau, Ned Beatty, Charles S. Dutton & Lili Taylor.
Bienvenidos, cinéfilos hierberos, a un nuevo episodio de Cinefilia y Otras Hierbas, cine, televisión, música y videojuegos para escuchar.Hoy, continuamos con nuestro ciclo dedicado al gran Aaron Sorkin –ese maestro del diálogo afilado que nos hace creer que la política puede ser tan entretenida como un partido de tenis verbal–, nos sumergimos en Charlie Wilson's War, esa película del 2007 que, admitámoslo, no es la primera que viene a la mente cuando pensamos en su filmografía, pero que destila ese ingenio sorkiniano que tanto adoramos.Imaginemos el panorama: finales de los años 80, la Guerra Fría en su apogeo, y un congresista texano llamado Charlie Wilson –conocido como "Good Time Charlie" por su afición a las fiestas, el whiskey y las compañías femeninas– que, de repente, se convierte en el artífice de la operación encubierta más grande de la historia de la CIA. La película se basa en el libro homónimo de George Crile, un tomo de 500 páginas repleto de detalles históricos que Sorkin adaptó con maestría, condensando intrigas geopolíticas en diálogos que chisporrotean como fuegos artificiales. ¿Cómo llegó Sorkin al proyecto? Pues, en un raro acto de agresividad profesional –él mismo lo admite–, leyó el libro y lo persiguió con ahínco, convirtiéndolo en el único guion que ha "cazado" de esa manera. Y vaya si lo logró: su énfasis en los personajes imperfectos pero heroicos, como Wilson, que pasa de playboy a salvador de los muyahidines afganos, es puro Sorkin, recordándonos sus obras como The West Wing, donde la burocracia se vuelve poesía.Tom Hanks interpreta a Wilson con esa calidez hankiana que hace que hasta un político corrupto parezca simpático. Detrás de cámaras, el director Mike Nichols, en lo que sería su última película, aportó su toque magistral y supo manejar el caos de enemigos históricos colaborando –pakistaníes, israelíes, afganos– en la narrativa real, algo que el guion de Sorkin plasma con ironía sutil.Julia Roberts, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, Ned Beatty y Emily Blunt completan la constelación de estrellas de este filme que cuenta una historia tan absurda, que no puede sino ser cierta....¡Y lo es!La película fue bien recibida en general, con un 82% de aprobación en Rotten Tomatoes, donde se alaba cómo "entretiene e informa" gracias al guion astuto de Sorkin y actuaciones sólidas. Muchos críticos la vieron como una excelente comedia oscura basada en hechos reales, destacando a Hanks como un antihéroe encantador. Sin embargo, no todo fue aplausos: algunos la tildaron de "falsa y nada divertida", con "la peor actuación de la carrera de Roberts" En premios, brilló con 5 nominaciones a los Globos de Oro –mejor película comedia, actor para Hanks, actriz de reparto para Roberts, actor de reparto para Hoffman y guion para Sorkin–, más una nominación al Oscar para Hoffman como mejor actor de reparto. La Guerra de Charlie Wilson es, quizá, la película menos conocida y popular de Sorkin –eclipsada por hits como La Red Social o El Juicio de los 7 de Chicago–, y tal vez la más "floja" de su catálogo. Pero, no les quepa duda, incluso una "floja" de Sorkin es mejor que muchas de las producciones que inundan las pantallas hoy en día: cargada de inteligencia, humor sofisticado y una lección histórica que, con un guiño irónico, nos recuerda que la política puede ser absurdamente entretenida. ¿Listos para desentrañar más? ¡No se pierdan el episodio!Patreon: patreon.com/cinefiliayotrashierbasCorreo: cinefiliayotrashierbas@gmail.com No olviden suscribirse, compartir este episodio y dejar un comentario y un like, eso nos ayudará a crecer y a encontrar más audiencia. ¡Que lo disfruten!#AaronSorkin #TomHanks #Cine #JuliaRoberts

Stroker Ace is like a mashup of every 80s cult favorite — minus the darkness of Deliverance (except for Ned Beatty), and with none of the high-octane realism of Days of Thunder. It's wildly inappropriate by today's standards, filled with sexual innuendo, confederate flags, and glorified nonsense — but it still makes us laugh. When Hal Needham called, Burt Reynolds answered... and created a legendary box office flop that lives on in NASCAR movie history. Why? Because he was driving the Fastest Chicken in the South.

This week, with the new DCU relaunched under the watchful eye of James Gunn, we take it all the way back to not just the dawn of DC Comics on the silver screen, but what is really the grand daddy of all superhero films period. It's 1978's Superman, directed by Richard Donner, and starring Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, Gene Hackman, Marlon Brando, Ned Beatty, Jackie Cooper, Glenn Ford, Phyllis Thaxter and Valerie Perrine. It is the homework that countless films over the years have copied off of, and combine that with its vintage 70s special effects and a rather tumultuous production, does it still hold up all these years later? You'll have to listen for our thoughts on a movie surprisingly neither host had ever seen in full. Plus: J Mo's got theatrical field reports on Jurassic World Rebirth and Materialists, and Hayley's hyper-fixating on home makeover TV. If you'd like to watch the movie before listening along to our discussion, Superman is currently streaming on HBO Max in the US and Crave here in Canada at the time of publication. Other works discussed in this episode include Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, Friendship, Heart Eyes, The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie, La La Land, Christine, Rock The Block, Battle on the Beach, Renovation Resort, and Best in Miniature. We'll be back... possibly as soon as next week? Who knows! Talking about who knows what film. And until then we'll see you at the movies!!
Welcome to Season 12! In honor of the new James Gunn movie, we are covering the classic, vintage, 1978 Superman movie starring Christopher Reeves.

Please leave us a review and follow us everywhere! PS Sorry we were late this week, we will try to have two up to make up for it! How will Superman hold up?

Send us a textWe had to go all the way back to the 70s to find a movie where Superman was actually cool and, man oh superman, does this one deliver. Who needs crappy-looking CGI villains when you have the horrifying Ned Beatty and an ascot-wearing Gene Hackman. Throw in some pre-meltdown Margot Kidder and the perennial whacked out Marlon Brando and this one writes itself. We loved this one as boys and couldn't find a reason not to like it still. But we give it our best shot anyway.

When Paul, Javi, and the audacious Producer Brad see a great movie, the result is a podcast full of mirthful entertainment… but when it's a movie that crashes and burns, the result is UNMITIGATED SNARK GREATNESS. What happens when Burt Reynolds and Hal Needham, the star and director of the hit films “Smokey and the Bandit” and “Cannonball Run”, reunite for a putative romantic comedy about a deviant NASCAR driver and a church lady turned fried chicken chain ad exec? Our horrified hosts weave a wonderment of wordplay, yet still somehow manage to run out words for “atrocity.” Loni Anderson, Jim Nabors, Ned Beatty, Parker Stevenson and Bubba Smith were all somehow forced to do time in this carceral excruciation of a film - and the Multiplex Overthruster crew has nothing but elucidating empathy as they perform a much-needed autopsy of one of the low points of the Summer of '83: “Stroker Ace”! Trust us, this episode is worth it for its odes to Cassandra Peterson's captivating cameo and how an AVOD ad break can offer an unexpected oasis of comfort — plus don't miss a startling post-credit bonus revelation!1983 Box OfficeJuly 1, 1983 Weekend Box OfficeSuperman III Box Office ResultsFollow us!InstagramBlueskyemail: Multiplexoverthruster@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Dana and Tom with returning guest, Scott Cole (Twitter-X/IG (@colecommascott) movie commentator), discuss Nashville (1975) for its 50th Anniversary: directed by Robert Altman, written by Joan Tewkesbury, cinematography by Paul Lohmann, music by Richard Baskin, starring Keith Carradine, Ned Beatty, Scott Glenn, and Lily Tomlin.Plot Summary: A sprawling mosaic of American life, Nashville follows 24 characters over five days leading up to a political rally in the titular city. Set against the backdrop of country music and political ambition, the film weaves together intersecting stories of musicians, wannabe stars, politicians, and ordinary citizens. Through overlapping dialogue and naturalistic performances, Altman paints a satirical yet poignant portrait of fame, identity, and the uneasy state of the nation during the 1970s. The film crescendos into a shocking act of violence, underscoring its themes of disillusionment and the chaotic intersection of celebrity and politics.Guest:Scott ColeTwitter-X/IG (@colecommascott) movie commentator, and occasional writer/contributor for The Movie Friends podcast.com (@moviefriendspodcast)Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Welcome Back Scott03:54 Cast of Nashville05:32 Dana's First Time Seeing Nashville08:47 Did Dana Like Nashville?15:02 Background for Nashville17:26 What is Nashville About?23:18 Plot Summary for Nashville24:15 Did You Know?26:34 First Break28:30 What's Happening with Scott Cole?33:23 Best Performance(s)45:03 Best Scene(s)56:20 Second Break57:02 In Memoriam01:06:10 Best/Funniest Lines01:10:30 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy01:17:54 The Stanley Rubric - Impact/Significance01:21:39 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty01:27:09 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness01:32:44 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability01:39:25 The Stanley Rubric - Audience Score and Final Total01:46:52 Remaining Questions for Nashville01:51:35 Thank You to Scott and Remaining Thoughts01:57:11 CreditsYou can also find this episode in full video on YouTube.You can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast).For more on the episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/nashville-1975-ft-scott-coleFor the entire rankings list so far, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/greatest-movie-of-all-time-listKeywords:Nashville, Robert Altman, film analysis, character development, 1975 movies, Best Picture nominees, country music, cinematic themes, film performances, movie discussions, film, entertainment, legacy, humor,...

Before there was TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL there was HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN, an 80s sitcom that may be the blueprint for the angel media craze that swept American pop culture at the end of the 20th century. HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN was created and directed by American television legend Michael Landon, who also stars in the series as the angel Jonathan Smith. Landon, known for his roles on all-American historical dramas BONANZA and LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE, enlisted his former LITTLE HOUSE… co-star Victor French to play Jonathan Smith's buddy Mark Gordon, a retired policeman (and mortal human) who accompanies Jonathan on his weekly assignments to use angelic influence to improve people's lives. God is referred to as “The Boss” in the series; this world-building is consistent with TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL's commitment to never discussing Jesus's sacrifice or the concept of sin on network television. Both series only refer to a faceless God and His angelic messengers who can impact earthly forces. This week on BBS, we chose to explore this historical television series in our ongoing study of angel media, focusing on an episode with a trope we love: body swap. On previous BBS episodes ME AGAIN and SWITCHED we discuss the sub-genre of Christian body swap stories, and HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN s1e20 “The Banker and the Bum” is a triumphant new entry in that category. When homeless man Willy the Waver (Ned Beatty) has 24 hours to live, he makes a simple wish to tell elitist mayoral candidate Melvin Rich (also played by Ned Beatty) to “be nice”. Angel Jonathan Smith grants this wish by swapping the two men's positions, teaching Melvin Rich an important lesson on empathy for others. The character of Willy the Waver reminds us of a common trope in Christian media: the homeless person who does unnecessary “kindness” to others that no one asked for in order to prove his unfortunate life is cheerful (in this case, waving to random cars on the road on a strict schedule like it's his job.) “The Banker and the Bum” is both a charming tale of acceptance and a reminder of the shallow understanding much Christian media has of homeless people.

This week we're talking about a movie so awful it made Mike question the whole format of the show. Do we really want to cover every franchise if it means films likeThe Exorcist II: The Hereticare forced on our eyeballs? Widely regarded as one of the worst films of all time, it had the unenviable task of following up one of the most successful horror films in history. Directed by a filmmaker that had nothing but loathing for the first film, and viewed by Warner Brothers as a way to cash in quickly and cheaply on the name and box office of the original, this one seemed doomed from the start. Plagued by near death illnesses, a script rewritten to the point it was unrecognizable, cast and creators that couldn't distant themselves from it fast enough, 70s mambo jumbo psychobabble and not enough Ned Beatty, this one is a trainwreck from start to finish. While Devaughn (rightly) argues for its aesthetics and ethereal sci-fi vibe, this one is a tough watch. That said, sometimes the biggest disasters are the most fun to discuss. Within this episode:What will happen to your liver if you made a drinking game out of how many times they say "Pazuzzu"?Maybe we shouldn't leave Richard Burton around young kids?What was that hot nonsense with the headbands?What if William Peter Blatty sold the toy and action figure rights to The Exorcist?All this and more!
On this episode of the Forgotten Filmcast we go deep beneath the ocean for some 70's disaster film chaos. Dave Anderson from Free Kittens Movie Guide stops by to discuss the 1978 submarine film Gray Lady Down, starring Charlton Heston, David Carradine, Stacy Keach, Ned Beatty, and many more. Of course we have our movie recommendations and the new trivia segment.
A Canadian trucker with the ingenuity of Tony Stark and Batman's desire for justice takes on a family of hillbilly hooligans after they cause the deaths of his entire family! His weapon of vengeance? The biggest, baddest Monster Truck you've ever seen on screen! We've got bar fights! We've got dummy kills! We've got big rig crashes! We've got Ned Beatty as a slimy owner of a strip club/bar/used car lot with hair that'll have you craving a long drag off a Marlboro and a cold sip of Molson! So crank up the AC/DC and strap in for one hell of a ride! Don't just watch Action, B Action!!!
Rage for Ratings: Paddy Chayefsky & Sidney Lumet Present NETWORK What was once considered a satire by all (save the two men who made it - they considered it a reflection of what was happening), Paddy Chayefsky and Sidney Lumet's 1976 masterpiece exists as a fifty year harbinger of a media, social, and political reality that has reached its culmination with the current state of American culture. Once considered a blistering social comedy Network has lost a great deal of of its humor in the absurd realities of the third decade of the 21st Century. Mr. Chavez & I are thrilled, excited, depressed, and disgusted . . . all of it coming out in this timely discussion. Take a listen as we look to Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Robert Duvall, Ned Beatty, Beatrice Straight, and (posthumous Oscar winner - the first ever) Peter Finch in this briliant look at the American Media System - Nearly Fifty Years before its Horrible, Horrible Culmination. Take a listen . . . it's a fun talk. As always, we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com - Many Thanks.

Let's review some more 70's movies now! Today we start with #1(Bloody Town Hall 1979) This documentary filmed in 1971 was a labor of love to edit and get it released by 79. This is a bloody mess that at least I found super interesting. BTH captures an important time, by way of an extremely odd event in NYC where Feminists take on Douchey Norman Mailer, a whole lotta chaos, and someone filmed it. NYC Gay Liberation Front members can be seen here for brief cameo. Other writers here of note are Germaine Greer, Diana Trilling, Jill Johnston, and Betty Friedman, to name a few. #2 is (Johnny got his gun 1971). This book was read by anyone in high school who had a Vet for an English teacher. Author and director here was famous blacklisted writer Dalton Trumbo, they made a bio pic about him with the meth making chemistry teacher from Breaking Bad. This films good and trippy, also extremely heavy and sad, also also METALLICA (listen to the song One for the plot). We love Donald Sutherland and he had just passed at the time of recording so we are slowly goin through the few DS films that we haven't already reviewed or showcased. Timothy Bottoms, Kathy Fields, and massive character actor Peter Brocco are here, along with the guy who became a tree in Mr. Sycamore. #3 (Badlands 1973) Ok this ones arty. The Dad of the guy from Platoon, and Carrie from Carrie star here. Carrie is groomed by the Apocalypse now guy to be with him and watch him play macho militia survivalist dude, after killing her father. #4 (Last American Hero 1973)Before he owned a video arcade in Tron, the guy from King Kong who loves magic was a moonshiner turned Southern hick nascar racer. Gary Busey helps him here, as well as Geraldine Fitzgerald, Valerie Perrrine, and Ned Beatty. #5 (Cassanova 1976) Donald Sutherland has Mr. Burns in the Simpson's Dracula parody hair here. Director here is the one and only Federico Fellini, and if you wanna read something funny, go to IMDB and check out his biography, unless someone changes it, it is one one the weirdest mini bio's I have ever read. Film looks stunning, but is it good? Well, our hot takes are ready. #6 (north Dallas forty 1979) This film experienced some real big problems taking on Big Sports. It's foolish to think that it wouldn't be the same as taking on the mob or the government. This is based on a book from someone who was in it Peter Gent. I was bullied by jocks and organized sports fans as far back as I can remember. I seem to be missing the gene to enjoy pretending I play a role sporting events. I digress, because I could watch a movie about sports or a show about sports if it's good, and this is good. Nick Nolte, and Charles Durning are here, as well as the director of First Blood, where John Jay Rambo was once in charge of million dollar equipment and now he can't even get a job parking cars. Finally today we review another made for TV movie gem called #7(The 5.20 an hour dream 1980) Alice from the hit TV show Alice is here and very good as Ellen a rad Mom who needs her car repaired and takes on patriarchy in the factory. Can these butts allow her to do a job she can do even though she is not a man? As always thanks for listening and please give us the stars and a review, it can help peeps find the pod.

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL EPISODE. Please check out the full podcast episode on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture Our 2010 retrospective continues with the third film in the "Toy Story" franchise, the ultra-popular, critically successful, and Academy Award-winning animated film "Toy Story 3," starring Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Ned Beatty, Don Rickles, Michael Keaton, Wallace Shawn, John Ratzenberger, Estelle Harris, and John Morris. Heralded as a beloved classic at the time of its release, the film (at the time) brought a close to the journey of the toys we had come to know and love on screen for fifteen years and their relationship with their owner, Andy. The result was one of Pixar's greatest triumphs to date in storytelling and eliciting tears from its audience. How does it hold up fourteen years later? What's our relationship with the franchise? Please tune in and listen to Nadia Dalimonte, Josh Parham, and I discuss our thoughts on the writing, voice performances, classical film homages, tone, its awards season run, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.
