Send a text In this episode, first time guest Derek Schlender ("Schlender 5 Productions") joins the podcast. He brings along the movie Dragonheart. Marty and Clif give Derek the movie Rollerball to watch.Season 4 kicks off with a guest, and a double feature that couldn't be more different.Marty and Clif are joined by Derek Schlender to break down two films connected by spectacle, ambition, and wildly different results: Dragonheart (1996) and Rollerball (1975).First up is Dragonheart. Rob Cohen's mid-'90s fantasy epic starring Dennis Quaid and featuring Sean Connery as the voice of Draco, the last dragon. The crew digs into peak-'90s CGI, bad medieval wigs and whether nostalgia is the only thing keeping this cult fantasy afloat. Is it a charming kid's adventure? A tonal mess? A necessary stepping stone between Jurassic Park and Lord of the Rings? All of the above?Then it's on to Norman Jewison's Rollerball (1975), a dystopian sports thriller about corporate control, violent spectacle, and individualism crushed under the system. What starts as futuristic world-building turns into a surprisingly talky meditation on power, celebrity, and manufactured entertainment. #TalkingPondo #Dragonheart #Rollerball #FilmPodcast #90sMovies #CultCinema #FantasyFilm #DystopianFilm End of show plug by MartySupport the showFind our films here: The Love Song of William H Shaw Revenge of Zoe Writing Fren-ZeeMaking Pondo on FacebookX (formerly Twitter):@MakingPondoInstagramMaking Pondo on Letterboxd:Season One Season Two Season Three Season Four Theme Song "The Rain" by Russ PacePhotos by Geoffrey Notkin

It's Awards Season yet again. Here on the Holmes Movies Podcast that means, it is time for the Alternative Oscars episodes! AKA the Anders and Adam-emy Awards: Each episode for this series we pick a different year in Oscars history and attempt to correct the record, stripping the undeserving of their garlands while recognising those who were cruelly overlooked.This time, we will be casting our eye back to… the 60th Academy Awards, the year that honoured the best films of 1987 (the year Adam was born). It was held April 11th 1988 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California. It was hosted by Chevy Chase. Bernardo Bertolucci's film The Last Emperor won big that night. The film won all nine awards it was nominated for, including Best Picture and Best Director. It was the year Sean Connery won Best Supporting Actor for The Untouchables. Cher and Olympia Dukakis went home with Oscars for the Norman Jewison film Moonstruck. Michael Douglas proved that Greed is Good and won for Oliver Stone's Wall Street in the Best Actor category. But did they deserve these awards? Tune in and listen to this episode to find out how we would have done things differently. Be sure to check out our Monument Valley Film on our YouTube Channel.Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen at work in the horror, car chase thriller Delivery Run, co-written with & directed by Joey Palmroos. The film has been released digitally and also in select cinemas in the US and the UK. In Finland it was released on Apple TV after finishing its limited cinema run and was the Number 1 film for multiple weeks. You can read a review about it here on the Fangoria website. The film is now available to watch in the other Nordic territories like Sweden, Oslo and of course Denmark. If you live in Denmark, you can watch the movie here on Apple TV by clicking this link.

par Benoit Basirico Cinezik Radio sur Cinezik.fr Voici notre sélection de musiques de films nées autour des cordes frottées. Du violon soliste virtuose à la contrebasse souterraine, en passant par l'alto mélancolique et le violoncelle charnel, ce quatrième volet de notre série explore l'art de la persistance. Loin de l'attaque franche et éphémère des cordes pincées, la corde frottée est l'instrument de la durée, de l'obsession et de la voix intérieure, constituant l'architecture invisible du 7ème art. Du violon de Stéphane Grappelli pour “Les Valseuses” à la plainte rugueuse d'Itzhak Perlman dans “La Liste de Schindler”, des vibrations tectoniques du violoncelle de Hildur Guðnadóttir pour “Joker” à la caresse sombre de l'alto d'Eleni Karaindrou pour “Le Regard d'Ulysse”, nous traversons les époques et les genres pour comprendre comment ces instruments (violon, alto, violoncelle, contrebasse, viole de gambe...) deviennent le système nerveux et la mémoire vive des personnages, faisant souvent vibrer ce que l'orchestre symphonique ne peut exprimer.

In this bruising episode of Drive-In Double Feature, Nathan and Ryan strap on their helmets and dive into Rollerball (1975), the dystopian sci-fi sports epic directed by Norman Jewison and starring James Caan. Set in a future where mega-corporations rule and a violent, gladiatorial sport keeps the masses distracted, Rollerball mixes hard-hitting action with chilling social commentary. The hosts discuss its unique world-building, brutal roller derby sequences, and whether this slick slice of '70s sci-fi still has the fire in its skates. Is Rollerball a thought-provoking classic or a slow roll through corporate rebellion? Let's hit the rink and find out.

Director Norman Jewison splices incisive social commentary into this thrilling police procedural with the help of Haskell Wexler's vivid cinematography, Quincy Jones's eclectic score, and two indelible lead performances—a career-defining display of seething indignation and moral authority from Poitier and an Oscar-winning masterclass in Method acting from Steiger.

“All your followers are blind, Too much heaven on their minds, It was beautiful but now it's sour, Yes it's all gone sour.”Talking About Jesus Christ Superstar with our guest, editor Lucy DonaldsonFilm editor Lucy Donaldson joins Andy Nelson and Pete Wright to discuss Norman Jewison's bold 1973 musical adaptation Jesus Christ Superstar and share insights from her impressive editing career. From working on acclaimed projects like Ma to recent hits like A Haunting in Venice, Donaldson brings her expert perspective to analyzing what makes this unconventional rock opera work so magnificently on screen.In this entertaining and insightful conversation, Donaldson opens up about her journey in the film industry, from her early days at the National Film and Television School to assisting on major productions at Blumhouse before landing breakthrough editing opportunities. The discussion explores the collaborative nature of film editing, working with directors, and how test screenings help shape the final cut. The conversation then dives deep into Jesus Christ Superstar, examining how Jewison's creative vision of hippie performers telling the Biblical story in the Israeli desert creates a uniquely compelling cinematic experience. From the magnetic performances of Ted Neely as Jesus and Carl Anderson as Judas to the bold editing choices and striking cinematography, the group analyzes what makes this controversial film continue to resonate decades later.With its daring artistic choices, memorable musical numbers, and raw emotional power, Jesus Christ Superstar remains a fascinating piece of cinema that challenges conventional storytelling. Through Donaldson's thoughtful analysis and personal connection to the film, we gain new appreciation for this groundbreaking rock opera that shouldn't work on paper but absolutely triumphs on screen. This engaging discussion with a talented editor offers wonderful insights into both the craft of film editing and the enduring impact of bold artistic vision.Film SundriesWatch the conversation on YouTubeLucy's WebsiteWatch this on Apple or Amazon, or find other places at LetterboxdTheatrical trailerOriginal Material Learn how to support our show and The Next Reel's family of film podcasts by becoming a member.

It is our deepest pleasure to bring you this episode on Norman Jewison's masterpiece of non-auteurism: Fiddler on the Roof. Both of the hosts have a long and complex relationship to both this film and its source material and could wax for hours on its rich humanism and craft. The tale of Tevye the Dairyman and his daughters remains as fascinating and exciting today as ever! We promise! This movie is not boring at all (except for maybe a couple scenes with Perchik). Topics include: changes from the original stories, Jerome Robbins' opening numbers, and a major change in Alana's life.
With her documentary Your Tomorrow streaming across Canada on Friday March 21st and making its broadcast premiere on TVOntario Sunday the 23rd, filmmaker Ali Weinstein picks up the torch for another Norman Jewison musical: His 1971 adaptation of the Broadway smash Fiddler on the Roof. Your genial host Norm Wilner knows the entire songbook for this one.
In the twenty-second episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by editor Kristi Shimek and musician Ben Childs to discuss the eerily prescient dystopian lens of Norman Jewison's assessment of media violence, corporatization, and the sacrifice of individuality for the sake of comfort in the highly efficient and incredibly technical Rollerball (1975).
This week, Oscar-nominated writer and director Atom Egoyan – whose latest drama Seven Veils opens in theatres across Canada this Friday – joins the chorus for Norman Jewison's 1973 screen adaptation of Jesus Christ Superstar … a film, and a musical, with which Atom has a very personal connection. Your genial host Norm Wilner is more of a Little Shop guy, honestly.

This week, we can't help but fall victim to la bella luna as Feb2ary Is For Lovers continues with a classic rom-com about how it's impossible not to cheat if you're Italian. It's 1987's Moonstruck, directed by Norman Jewison, written by John Patrick Shanley, and starring Cher, Nicolas Cage, Vincent Gardenia, Olympia Dukakis, Danny Aiello, Julie Bovasso and John Mahoney. The story of a young woman who accidentally falls in love with her fiancé's brother, the movie exudes charm at every turn -- so much so that this little rom-com took home three Oscars in '88, for Cher and Dukakis's performances as well as Original Screenplay for Shanley's script that is funny without being rife with straight-up jokes. There are rich characters here, beset by curses and fatal strains of bad luck, who get laughs not by mugging or ripping one-line zingers but by believing in the seriousness of their tragedies so completely. This is character-driven comedy of the highest order, grounded by the Canadian coziness that Jewison can't help but leave all over the film. Plus: J Mo's got theatrical field reports on both Sonic The Hedgehog 3 and Companion. If you'd like to watch the film before listening along to our discussion, it is one of the more widely available films we have ever covered as Moonstruck is currently streaming in Canada on Amazon Prime, Crave, Starz, Criterion Channel, Tubi and Hoopla at the time of publication. Other works discussed in this episode include Abigail, The Sixth Sense, The Usual Suspects, Identity, Trap, Fargo, The Wedding Singer, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning: Part One, Mission: Impossible - Fallout, Ocean's Eleven, L.A. Story, Paint, Napoleon Dynamite, ChiefsAholic: A Wolf in Chiefs Clothing, A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, The Fabelmans, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Bicentennial Man, Bottoms and Punch-Drunk Love. Love Month continues next week with another VHS plucked from Hayley's collection as we'll be discussing 1996's Jerry Maguire with Tom Cruise and Renee Zellweger, and will do our best not to get side-tracked discussing the Mission: Impossible franchise but can't promise we won't. Jerry Maguire is currently streaming north of the border on Crave, Starz and for free (with ads) on the CTV app. And of course we're closing out February with a rom-com canon selection, 10 Things I Hate About You. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!
This week's podcast goes back in time in more ways than one. Gillian Gaar meets Neal Pollack in the pod-dome to discuss her terrific piece about the movies of 1975. Among the topics discussed: How 'The Godfather, Part II' is still incredibly watchable today, how the stars of Robert Altman's 'Nashville' wrote and performed their own songs, how 'Jaws' birthed the blockbuster movie but still featured long scenes of guys talking on a boat, and how Norman Jewison's 'Rollerball' managed to make a fake sport exciting and visceral while still providing a pointed critique of our cultural acceptance of violence. It was an important year from movies, the year the industry really started to pivot from one era to another.'Star Wars: Skeleton Crew', a TV show on Disney+, hearkens back to a time when new Star Wars content was fresh and exciting and filled kids with wonder. Scott Gold joins Neal to talk about the ultimate tween Star Wars pirate adventure, a fun, exciting romp through a fictional galaxy that doesn't take itself too seriously, and features Jude Law chewing every ounce of scenery imaginable.

Dana and Tom revisit In the Heat of the Night (1967): directed by Norman Jewison, written by Sterling Silliphant, score by Quincy Jones, starring Sidney Poitier, Rod Steiger, Warren Oates, and Lee Grant.Plot Summary: In the Heat of the Night (1967) is a taut, incisive drama that explores the collision of justice and racial prejudice in the Deep South. Sidney Poitier stars as Virgil Tibbs, a Philadelphia detective who reluctantly teams up with a bigoted small-town sheriff, played by Rod Steiger, to solve a murder in Sparta, Mississippi.Director Norman Jewison builds a gripping procedural around the tension between these two men, each forced to confront his own biases in the face of a shared goal. With its evocative cinematography, unforgettable moments of confrontation, and Quincy Jones' soulful score, In the Heat of the Night transcends the confines of a murder mystery. It is a film of deep moral resonance, one that holds a mirror to America's struggles with race, power, and reconciliation—while delivering a narrative as electrifying as it is humane.Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Welcome01:14 Cast and Recognition for In the Heat of the Night03:23 Relationship(s) to In the Heat of the Night07:21 What is In the Heat of the Night About?14:13 Plot Summary for In the Heat of the Night17:06 First Break17:55 Ask Dana Anything18:40 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy22:05 The Stanley Rubric - Impact/Significance25:07 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty34:07 Second Break34:17 In Memoriam35:20 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness41:49 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability44:23 The Stanley Rubric - Audience Score and Final Total46:12 Remaining Questions for In the Heat of the Night48:44 Where the List Stands at the End of Season 552:54 Remaining Thoughts for Season 558:32 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 original episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/in-the-heat-of-the-night-1967For more on the episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/in-the-heat-of-the-night-1967-revisitFor the entire rankings list so far, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/greatest-movie-of-all-time-listKeywords:In the Heat of the Night, race relations, Sidney Poitier, film analysis, classic films, podcast, movie review, Best Picture, 1967, cultural impactRonny Duncan Studios
Welcome to another Cinema Sounds & Secrets Tribute episode! This week Janet, John, (and Pen) explore the life and career of Canadian filmmaker Norman Jewison. Born in 1926 in Toronto, Jewison acted out movies as a boy and was involved in school productions at a young age. He studied at the Royal Conservatory and worked as a radio actor before he began writing, directing, and producing shows for the network CBC. He made his feature film debut in 1962 and began directing shortly after. He's known for films like The Cincinnati Kid (1965), The Russians Are Coming (1966), The Thomas Crown Affair (1968), Fiddler on the Roof (1971), Jesus Christ Superstar (1973), Rollerball (1975), Justice for All (1979), A Soldier's Story (1984), Agnes of God (1985), Moonstruck (1987) The Hurricane (1999), and more, receiving Academy Award nominations for best director three separate times.

This coincidence is inevitably repeated a ton on the IMDb trivia page.

It's musicals month for November's theme and hitting up Tim Rice & Andrew Lloyd Webber again because it's time to go to church though we can't tell what denomination this is. It's pretty sweaty but there are some baddies hanging around. A little gay, to be expected, but the band is pretty sick. They're all the band. This is what Nazarenes wish their services were like. It's two thousand years ago by way of the 1970s in this rock opera retelling of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. We're jamming to Norman Jewison's 1973 film adaptation of “JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR” and it stars Ted Neeley (who crushes it) Carl Anderson (who steals the show) and Yvonne Elliman (who can get it). Then you got your Pauls, your Pharisees, your Herods and your Pilates and the timeless tale has never been told like this. We didn't know this at the time but Yvonne Elliman had some disco hits as well. She also hooked up with Eric Clapton but nobody's perfect. But anyway…Jesus. He's just a man, right? Why does he scare them so?

All November we RAISE THE CURTAIN & BELT THE CHORUS for a musicals themed month and we're heading to a fictional Russian town called Anatevka for a folksy tale of a pious and poor Jewish family. This beloved stage show ran very long so perhaps it's no wonder that Norman Jewison's adaptation of “FIDDLER ON THE ROOF” was a box office smash for 1971. In it we meet Tevye' and his family. He's got 3 daughters at marrying age and the good book dictates that their marriages be arranged to benefit their family and status. Such is tradition! But times are changing in Eastern Europe in the early 20th Century and these kids got their own crazy ideas. With the weight of tradition and the dangers of society upon them can Tevye bend without breaking his faith? Starring Chaim Topol, Norma Crane, Leonard Frey and more. Music by Jerry Bock and adapted by John Williams. Angela has booked this month and much of it is Bob's introduction to many musical styles. The only one he's seen for this coming month is “Bye Bye Birdie” of all things. He's only seen three more beyond that. Hear us set fresh eyes and opinions on a beloved classic. If we were a rich man, we would still do a movie podcast. We love movies that much.

In this episode, we dive into Venom: The Last Dance, directed by Kelly Marcel and starring Tom Hardy. Eddie Brock and Venom are back with a choice that could change everything as they're pursued by a relentless military figure and alien monsters from Venom's home planet. Will the duo survive, and what sacrifices must they make along the way? We also review Conclave, a taut thriller directed by Edward Berger and starring Ralph Fiennes, John Lithgow, and Stanley Tucci. This film brings audiences into the Vatican's hidden corridors as Cardinal Lawrence unearths secrets that threaten the very core of the Catholic Church during a papal election. Next up is Your Monster, directed by Caroline Lindy and starring Melissa Barrera and Tommy Dewey. This unique horror-comedy follows Laura Franco, an actress rediscovering her strength after meeting a strange, charismatic monster living in her closet. For our classic pick, we revisit Agnes of God (1985). Directed by Norman Jewison and starring Jane Fonda, Meg Tilly, and Anne Bancroft, this tense drama pits science and faith against each other in a mystery involving a young nun's shocking secrets.

This week Amy and Paul are rocking out to the 1973 film Jesus Christ Superstar, starring Ted Neeley and directed by Norman Jewison. This musical stage play turned Burning Man Christ film was shot in the Israeli desert, leaving everyone mystified by the budget's lack of generosity in only affording the actors one set of costumes.

This week Paul and Amy's clones are breaking down the 2009 film, Moon, starring Sam Rockwell and directed by Duncan Jones. But first things first, honoring our Oscars bet, Paul announces his removal of the film Intolerance from the Paul and Amy Institute list, much to Amy's chagrin. Then, Paul and Amy dig into Moon, it being a “holy shit” movie in 2009, ponder how and what clones remember, and finally Amy makes the connection between this movie and space's darling George Clooney and the hair-cutting device, Flowbee.

A classic among classics, we're talking enemies to lovers this week! We get to the bottom of what we think of as “enemies,” and how it differs from “rivals-to-lovers” and “friends-to-enemies-to-lovers” and “friends-to-lovers” (jk, we'll never understand friends-to-lovers). We revisit some of our very favorite romances, talk about stakes, about impossible situations, and about how sexy hating someone can be. There are a handful of tickets left for Fated Mates LIVE in Brooklyn, NY, on March 23, at the gorgeous William Vale Hotel! Join us, along with Kate Clayborn, Lauren Billings (one-half of Christina Lauren), Nikki Payne, and a roomful of other romance-obsessed listeners for a night of romance shenanigans at a live taping of Fated Mates!

You should watch Only You (1994), directed by Norman Jewison who also directed Moonstruck! Don't forget how charming Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is, a very different vibe from Ripper Street.Jen thought about Kiss an Angel by Susan Elizabeth Phillips when she read an article about the updating of the gorilla enclosure at the Brookfield Zoo. IYKYK, and if you don't, listen to Jen on Learning the Tropes.Sarah said there's only one friends-to-lovers romance she likes. It's Christina Lauren's Josh & Hazel's Guide to Not Dating.
It's another Arthouse Tuesday here at Breakfast All Day as we catch up with a couple of major world cinema releases. The first is "Io Capitano," which is up for best international feature at this year's Academy Awards. Italy's entry marks the fifth and final nominee we've reviewed, and while we don't agree on whether it works completely, we both say other films in the category are far superior, particularly "The Zone of Interest." Then we discuss "About Dry Grasses," the three-hour-plus epic from Turkish master Nuri Bilge Ceylan. Don't be daunted by the run time; this is a gorgeous and engrossing film. Both movies we review today are playing in theaters. And for our Patreon subscribers, we had the pleasure of revisiting "Moonstruck," Norman Jewison's 1987 romantic comedy, for February's Off the Menu. It's just as charming as ever.
