“Which one of you nuts has got any guts?” – One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)This week, we check into the ward with special guest Ben Hosley, producer of Blank Check with Griffin and David, to take on Miloš Forman's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. One of only three films to sweep the “Big Five” Oscars, this anti-establishment classic remains a cultural touchstone. We dive into Jack Nicholson's electric performance, Louise Fletcher's chilling turn as Nurse Ratched, and how the film captures the shifting American psyche of the 1970s.New audio episodes drop every Monday at 12am EST, with video premieres on YouTube the same day at 12pm EST.

In this show we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how The Forman movie treats Ken Kesey's book, how the filmmaker uses his kitchen sink realism lens in support of authenticity and why this movie earned its many accolades. We also try to diagnose McMurphy, wonder if Nurse Ratched was correctly seen as the villain of the movie, and much much more!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy BurrowsFeaturing: Hillary WhiteHead over to our website to find out more!

The Baconsale interns may have been fired from their last job at an automated dating service, but some companies just don't learn. This time, Joel, Kent, and Zack are running the applications of lonely movie villains through the high-tech D.A.T.E. machine, then determining how correct the algorithm is. We'll decide if Norman Bates is too much of a momma's boy, if Nurse Ratched will go cuckoo for a man, if Hannibal Lecter would enjoy a taste of romance, and if a cute guy will make the Wicked Witch of the West just melt. Things get a little strange and there are a LOT of puns, but we hope this episode proves that some of us still believe in love. Press play to be Ruthless Wainwight.

La historia se desarrolla en un mundo futurista y postapocalíptico, donde los humanos han sido prácticamente exterminados y las máquinas han tomado el control. La novela sigue a un grupo de personajes inusuales: Giovanni Lawson, un robot inventor, su hijo humano adoptado, Victor Lawson, y sus amigos robóticos, Rambo y Nurse Ratched. Victor y su familia viven escondidos en el bosque, alejados del control de las máquinas. La vida pacífica que llevan se ve amenazada cuando Victor encuentra y repara a Hap, un robot con un pasado oscuro, lo que desencadena una serie de eventos que los obliga a enfrentarse a peligros y secretos ocultos. La historia explora temas profundos como la identidad, el libre albedrío, el amor y la redención, todo enmarcado en una narrativa que mezcla el humor, la ternura y momentos de tensión. Con su estilo característico, Klune crea un mundo donde las marionetas, en este caso robots y máquinas, adquieren una humanidad que invita a reflexionar sobre lo que significa ser humano. La novela es una especie de retelling moderno e imaginativo de la historia de Pinocho, donde los personajes deben navegar por sus propios dilemas morales y emocionales en un mundo donde los humanos han dejado de ser la especie dominante.

In this week's tribute episode, Janet and John discuss the wonderful Louise Fletcher. Probably most well known for her role in the film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Fletcher has made her mark in the world of cinema as Nurse Ratched and through other films and television. Born in 1934, Fletcher first acted in projects at the end of 50's like Lawman and Maverick. After winning the Oscar for Cuckoo's, Fletcher went on to act in other projects like Blue Steel (1990), Cruel Intentions (1999), and have a guest role in the series Shameless.

Supporter Stephen had picked The Conversation last time around and we're going back to the 70's again with One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest this week. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), directed by Milos Forman, was a landmark production that brought Ken Kesey's celebrated novel to the screen. The film's production was marked by numerous challenges, including securing the rights to Kesey's novel, which had been previously adapted into a successful stage play. Forman collaborated closely with screenwriters Lawrence Hauben and Bo Goldman to adapt the complex narrative into a compelling screenplay. Additionally, casting the lead role of Randle McMurphy was a significant task, with Jack Nicholson ultimately chosen for his charismatic and dynamic portrayal of the rebellious anti-hero. The film also featured a talented ensemble cast, including Louise Fletcher as Nurse Ratched and Danny DeVito, who contributed to the film's authenticity and emotional depth. Filming took place primarily at the Oregon State Hospital, lending an authentic and immersive backdrop to the story's psychiatric setting. Forman's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to balance the film's darkly comedic elements with its underlying social commentary contributed to its critical and commercial success. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" became a cultural phenomenon, earning widespread acclaim, including five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor for Nicholson. Its enduring legacy as a cinematic masterpiece continues to resonate with audiences, cementing its place in film history as one of the greatest achievements in American cinema.

McMurphy is transferred to a psychiatric hospital where he clashes with the tyrannical Nurse Ratched and befriends his fellow patients, including the meek Billy Bibbit and the silent Chief Bromden. McMurphy's defiance and unorthodox behavior inspire the patients to rebel against Nurse Ratched's oppressive rule, leading to a dramatic confrontation that exposes the power dynamics and injustices within the institution. thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thevhsstrikesback/support

Episode 61: ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST For this week's podcast we watched the 1975 classic One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Directed by Milos Foreman, this adaptation of Ken Kesey's highly regarded novel stars Jack Nicholson as Randle (yes, that's how it's spelled) McMurphy. In one of his most iconic roles, Nicholson's antiestablishment beatnik is sent to a mental health facility to assess his competency to serve his prison sentence. He clashes with the facility's rigid warden, Nurse Ratched, played here by Louise Rainer. Brad Douriff, Will Sampson, Danny DeVito, and Christopher Lloyd play the other inmates with whom McMurphy bonds. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest won Best Picture in a stacked year, and ranks here as number 9 on our countdown.* Spoiler Alert: We talk about the movie in its entirety, so if you haven't yet seen it, check it out. Or not. That ball is in your court. Come back next week for the number eight, Billy Wilder's 1960 masterpiece The Apartment. *What is this list? We explain it in more detail in our Trailer and its Description, but as a high-level answer: we aggregated several different lists that rank the ninety-four winners of the Best Picture Academy Award in a rough attempt to get a consensus. It is not intended to be rigorous or definitive. It's just a framework to guide our journey through cinema history.
Emilio, Madeline, and Julian kick off a new cycle of episodes on "Perceptions of Sanity" by discussing a classic film they have all seen before, 1975's "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Highly regarded by many, the trio discuss whether they agree with the film's stature in the cinematic pantheon, while also discussing much of the history and production details that led to it before assessing its deeper meaning. Nurse Ratched is considered one of the great movie villains, but is she really that much of a baddie? How does Randle McMurphy hold up as the main vessel of the film's messages? And what insights can be offered by the film's myriad supporting characters? Oh, and also, is this a Christmas movie?
We only know people in a certain circumstance and at a certain time. A person's identity is so much more than what we think we know about them.
One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 4 chapter 3, narrated by Isaac BirchallThe Chief, for the first time ever is able to shake off the fog after his shock therapy in less than a day. McMurphy was given another 3 shocks because he still refuses to apologise to Nurse Ratched. He says to Chief that the shocks are doing nothing more than charging up his battery, but Chief Bromden sees through his tough-guy guise. Chief Bromden is lead away from disturbed ward back to his usual one, and everyone turns to greet him at the door, like he was a celebrity. There have been rumours that McMurphy has been shrugging off all of the EST's he has been given, and the patients are glued to every word that Chief Bromden is saying. The following day, Nurse Ratched brings up how McMurphy is reacting to EST, and suggests that more serious methods must be used. She also realises that while McMurphy is off the ward, he can become a heroic legend, that will never die. Some of the guys realise that as soon as he is back on the ward, Nurse Ratched will shock McMurphy every time he comes out of his stupor, so they plan for him to escape the ward; the plan is a no go however, because it is the day that Candy is supposed to sneak back on the ward to have a date with Billy Bibbit.There is another meeting in the day, and the Nurse suggests to the Doctor that McMurphy should be subject to a more serious treatment. McMurphy joins in on this and says that maybe they should increase the voltage so that he can become electric. The Big Nurse corrects McMurphy however, saying that she means to give him a lobotomy… After the meeting McMurphy goes with Billy Bibbit to plan out the evenings “Activities.” The Chief then goes on to explain Billy's situation. He is actually not a young kid, and is in his early 30's. He has been subjected to a overly protective and deluded mother, who believes it impossible for Billy to be as old as he claims. He would probably be fine if he could get away from his mother and just live as a normal adult… It's tragic.As the evening progresses, the men start to get the feeling that Candy isn't coming, but after turning all of the lights on to try and let Candy know where the men are, they hear a faint tapping on the day room window; it's Candy, and she has brought along Sandy, the girl who bailed on the fishing trip, along too.

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 4 chapter 2, narrated by Isaac BirchallMcMurphy and Chief Bromden have been sent up to the disturbed ward, the are crazed men all over the place, and there are mutterings and gnashing of teeth whispering all around. In the Day room on disturbed, McMurphy tries to establish himself as Top Dog, but it's different up there, and the straight jackets don't really help. McMurphy starts telling the men about the fight with the Aides, but as time goes on their wounds start to hurt more and more. They are eventually taken into the nurse's ward, and it feel strange for the two to be treated with respect and care. The nurse asks who attacked them, and after they answer, she tells them that she feels that War Nurses shouldn't be able to reign supreme over their wards; they want to run them like war hospitals. Then then goes on to say that both McMurphy and Chief Bromden won't be staying too long, Nurse Ratched will determine the length of their stay. There is a huge alarm that sounds in the morning to wake the patients, and McMurphy and Bromden are called to the nurse's station. When they get there, they are given 3 sedative pills. Both the men refuse their tablets. After a couple of minutes or so, the Big Nurse and the 2 Aides that were beaten up arrive, and Nurse Ratched tells McMurphy that she has decided that he should be Subject to Electro-Shock Therapy, unless he could apologise for what he did. McMurphy starts making jokes about what the nurse is asking him to do. Both McMurphy and Bromden are led over to the EST room, and there is a sound behind the door like a swarm of bees taking off. They are led into the room and McMurphy can see that Chief Bromden is afraid, so he offers to get shocked first, laying on the cross shaped table, and wearing a crown of silver thorns. SHOCK… Then it is the chief's turn…Subscribe to theshow https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-essential-reads/subscribeGet SurfShark andprotect yourself online today VPN: https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389 Antivirus: https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389 Get data brokers tostop selling your information with: Incogni: https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389 *COMIC* By @Valenangelr https://www.instagram.com/valenangelr *SOCIAL*INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreads TWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98 KO-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads STORE: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/Support the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 1 chapter 7, narrated by Isaac BirchallHarding and McMurphy continue to go at it. McMurphy tries to convince the men that they aren't Rabbits, but are men, who can be powerful, and can fight against Nurse Ratched's attacks. Billy Bibbit starts up, stating that the Nurse's tactic of staying silent makes all of the men too nervous to fight back. McMurphy states that they could always just give joke answers or tell her to get lost. The other patients continue to argue with McMurphy, and eventually Harding tells him about the greater tools in the Big Nurse's belt, the Electro-Shock Therapy machine, and the worse of all, the Lobotomy. If worse comes to worst, you will be turned into a zombie that can't do anything but be afraid of its own shadow. McMurphy then asks why the men don't take a vote; if the doctor was going on about letting the patients run their own ward, why don't they act upon it. McMurphy then goes on to say that the first thing he noticed about the place was that no one was laughing… Once you lose your laugh, you lose your soul…After more bickering and debating McMurphy finally concludes. He is going to challenge the Big Nurse at her own game, and he makes a bet with the patients that he is going to make the Big Nurse break before his first week on the ward is up.Subscribe to the show https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-essential-reads/subscribeGet SurfShark and protect yourself online today VPN: https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389Antivirus: https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389 Get data brokers to stop selling your information with: Incogni: https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389*COMIC* By @Valenangelr https://www.instagram.com/valenangelr*SOCIAL* INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98 KO-Fi:https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads STORE: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/Support the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

[ For full episode catalogue please subscribe to our Patreon at Patreon.com/BestActress ] The year is 1976 and the nominees are: Isabelle Adjani - The Story of Adele H. Ann-Margret - Tommy Louise Fletcher - One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest Glenda Jackson - Hedda Carol Kane - Hester Street - In 1976 Louise Fletcher won Best Actress for playing one of the most iconic movie villains of all time, Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. This film became the first in 41 years to sweep the major categories of Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and Screenplay. I would say Adjani was likely Fletcher's biggest competition as she became the youngest nominee for Best Actress at that time at the age of 20. She won the National Board of Review, National Society of Film Critics, and the New York Film Critics Circle awards for her work in The Story of Adele H. If you have never seen the movie musical Tommy, do yourself a favour, take some bong hits and enjoy. Ann-Margret's performance as Nora is honestly one of the strangest (in a good way) things I have ever witnessed on this podcast. Who do you think should have won?

Jack Nicholson must be insane to think an asylum is an escape from a prison work farm. He's shocked to learn how wrong he was when he tangles with Nurse Ratched in a battle fo wills. Lay back on the couch, close your eyes and tell us how your feel about this mind-bending review.
Interesting! Commit yourself to this episode for the bygone appeal of Jack Nicholson, justice for Nurse Ratched, and the respective viewing interruptions that made this film experience vastly different for each host. The person most confused by the film this week was: Lianna's capacity to feel joy.

For a bunch of people in a mental hospital there is a whole lot of decent sense making going on.'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest' by Ken Kesey is an exploration of social stigma, overbearing control and fighting for the defenceless. The overbearing power of The Combine matched with the machinery of the institution forms a force that seeks to bring order by squashing all before it. Taking place in a mental hospital, it's narrated by one of the patients (The Chief) as he watches the slick newcomer (Randall McMurphy) as he battles the personification of these processes (Nurse Ratched). I summarised the book as follows. "It's a rather bleak story overall but this hits afterwards as during the reading it's mostly amusing. What I really enjoyed were the solid characters that popped out for their uniqueness. It's a great book but I wouldn't put it in my best of all time as many people seem to do. Although I found the themes fascinating it didn't hit as hard as I think it may have during the different era of when it was published." I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.

Acclaimed director Hany Abu-Assad is a real standup guy. Randle McMurphy…eh, not so much. But ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST has us rooting for McMurphy nonetheless, and for a young Hany, he offered a glimpse into the nature of oppression, and the power of creativity as a form of resistance. No, really! After Jordan and Hany have a deep and thoughtful conversation about all that, and about his new film, HUDA'S SALON…Jordan has one quick thing to say about something else deep: the new trailer for DEEP WATER. ***Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and FacebookWith Jordan Crucchiola and Hany Abu-Assad
