Tonight on Triple Feature we are looking at Michael, Bohemian Rhapsody and The Doors. Three movies about three of the most recognizable figures in popular music, and three very different ideas about what a musical biopic is supposed to accomplish. Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury and Jim Morrison were all transformed by fame into something larger than human beings, but Hollywood has approached their stories with very different agendas. Michael examines the construction of a global phenomenon while navigating the controversies surrounding Jackson's legacy. Bohemian Rhapsody rearranges Freddie Mercury's history into a crowd-pleasing story of estrangement, redemption and the triumph of Live Aid. Oliver Stone's The Doors goes in the opposite direction, exaggerating Jim Morrison's darkness until the mythology nearly consumes the man. We'll discuss the performances, the music, the history, what each movie changes or leaves out, and whether a music biopic owes us the truth or just a great show.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Musician and musicologist Dr. Hans Utter joins Brett to discuss Oliver Stone's 1991 musical biopic The Doors, a “trip movie” that is the first full-on showcase of Stone's signature frenetic-psychedelic style which helped define the media zeitgeist of the 1990s. During the production, we reveal, Stone and his companions conducted countless New Age rituals, peyote ceremonies, and magical workings, and they expressly designed the film itself to function as a neo-shamanic ritual, imbuing its audience with his “Nietzschean” brand of countercultural spirituality via the myth of Jim Morrison. Much of our analysis focuses on Stone's surprisingly open embrace of “the dark side of the 60s,” including the infernal symbols and ceremonies of witchcraft and Satanism. We compare Stone's portrayal of Morrison, as the embodiment of Dionysus, with the prefabricated archetype of the rock star as the incarnation of Lucifer/Satan. The conversation also revisits Dave McGowan's Laurel Canyon thesis regarding the military and intelligence backgrounds of the Laurel Canyon scene that created the counterculture, since Stone directly references Morrison's elite military background in the film, but in a way that misdirects the audience from “culture conspiracy.” Brett and Hans touch on the 27 Club, the cult of the artist, and many other related topics besides. A lengthy addendum from Thomas speaks to subjects including Morrison and Stone's disturbing shared Oedipus complex, how The Doors film exemplifies Timothy Leary's idea of reprogramming the brain via psychedelic chaos, and how the movie represents a sinister turning point in Stone's filmography, marked by the start of the enigmatic Richard Rutowski's influence upon Stone.CORRECTIONS: The reference to Meg Tilly is meant to be to Jennifer Tilly.

Jeff McArthur is always an excellent guest!His book, Pro Bono is a true crime classic!In 1958, 19-year-old Charlie Starkweather went on a murder spree that paralyzed Nebraska, shocked the nation, and left 11 people dead. With him when he was captured was his 14-year-old ex-girlfriend Caril Fugate. The question soon arose, was Caril a kidnapped victim, or a heartless accomplice?Appointed to her case, attorney John McArthur initially accepted the assignment out of a sense of constitutional duty. But as he delved deeper, he found that the truth was far more complicated than anyone was letting on. Up against incredible odds, and with a strong conviction of her innocence, McArthur remained with Caril and fought for her freedom for 18 years. For this service, he took no pay, accepting the case pro bono.This book follows the long struggle of McArthur, his partner Merril Reller, and John's son James as they took on the Nebraska legal system and a public that had already determined Caril's guilt before ever hearing a word of testimony. The story continues through all it influenced, such as Stephen King, who became a horror writer because of it, Bruce Springsteen, who wrote a whole album about it, Terrence Malick, Oliver Stone, Martin Sheen, and Peter Jackson, who wrote his first major movie based on the Starkweather-Fugate incident.

Together, they go over the Warren Commission report, the Zapruder Film, and the story of the “magic bullet,” and look at how Oliver Stone's movie JFK changed our collective memory of what happened that day and who was really to blame.

But does it still hold up, or is this one all style and no substance?Whitey, Dan and special guest Will strap on the shoulder pads and revisit Oliver Stone's divisive NFL epic. What starts as a love letter to sports movies quickly turns into an examination of shaky cameras, over-the-top editing, giant egos and one of the most exhausting viewing experiences the boys have tackled in a while.Al Pacino brings his trademark intensity as veteran coach Tony D'Amato, desperately trying to hold together the Miami Sharks while battling a ruthless owner, rebellious players and a rapidly changing game. Jamie Foxx bursts onto the scene as Willie Beamen, the backup quarterback who suddenly becomes a superstar, while Dennis Quaid delivers a solid performance as ageing veteran Cap Rooney.Along the way, the boys discuss why Oliver Stone seems determined to assault your eyeballs with every editing trick imaginable. From subliminal gladiator imagery to frantic camera work and changing film stock, Whitey wonders whether the movie is trying too hard to be profound. Dan compares it to Natural Born Killers and argues that Stone's style overwhelms the actual story.The conversation naturally branches out into memories of 1999, drunken phone calls, encounters with Elizabeth Berkley, backup quarterbacks becoming heroes, and whether there is a more pressure-filled position in sport than an NFL quarterback.There's also plenty of appreciation for the stacked cast. James Woods shines as the dodgy doctor, LL Cool J delivers one of the biggest dickheads in sports movie history, and Lawrence Taylor proves real athletes can occasionally act. Meanwhile, Cameron Diaz splits the room, with Whitey refusing to give prime Diaz a quickfire vote despite the objections of everyone else.As always, the boys go deep into the IMDb ratings, box office numbers and critical reviews before throwing around comparisons to Varsity Blues, Office Space, American Beauty and other classics from the legendary year of 1999.But the biggest question remains. Is Any Given Sunday a genuine sports classic, or is it simply a two-and-a-half-hour migraine wrapped in slow motion and Kid Rock?One thing is certain. Whether they're discussing football strategy, Oliver Stone's obsession with gladiators or the horrors of professional athlete fashion, Whitey, Dan and Will once again prove that no movie is safe when it lands on Born to Watch.Join the TeamLove movies? Love ridiculous debates? Join the Born to Watch community and become part of the conversation. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and follow us on social media for new episodes, movie polls and plenty of laughs. Because at Born to Watch, we don't take movies or ourselves too seriously.#BornToWatch #AnyGivenSunday #OliverStone #AlPacino #JamieFoxx #DennisQuaid #SportsMovies #MoviePodcast #FilmReview #NFLMovies

Free Thinking Through the Fourth Turning with Sasha Stone
Obama's Museum: An Ivory Tower Made of Granite

Free Thinking Through the Fourth Turning with Sasha Stone

The emergence of America's ruling class in Chicago to celebrate the Obama Presidential Center Museum hit like a gust of hot, wet wind. Just days before, tornadoes tore through Illinois and Iowa, upending homes and wreaking havoc on the landscape. By the time Barack Obama and his Royal Court were ready to roll out the red carpet, the skies had cleared.The building perfectly reflects how Obama might see himself, but certainly how he's ruled over the past 15 years. He still can't let go of his position as God and King of the once-mighty utopia, one I devoted most of my life to building, protecting, and defending. I was a true believer and a good soldier.Obtuse, mysterious, and opaque, the building, like its inspiration, towers over the indistinguishable figures below, the swirling paths and gardens, not blending into the landscape but rather projecting outward, with a kind of bulk you could even see from space. Not even a tornado could make a dent.The quote on the side of the mighty beast reads:You are America. Unconstrained by habit and convention. Unencumbered by what is, ready to seize what ought to be. For everywhere in this country, there are first steps to be taken, there is new ground to cover, there are more bridges to be crossed. America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.' ‘We The People.' ‘We Shall Overcome.' ‘Yes We Can.' That word is owned by no one. It belongs to everyone. Oh, what a glorious task we are given to continually try to improve this great nation of ours.”The quote comes from Obama's speech, not in Chicago, but at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. Most of the rest of it has been trimmed away to make the statement appear more inclusive, shall we say.But note the use of the word “We.” His speech was full of flowery language about how we have to come together as a country.The sitting president of the United States and the majority of Americans who voted for him were not invited to the party. Not only weren't they invited, but they're also not allowed anywhere at any time in a society largely controlled by the Left.No, Trump would not be allowed in, and he never really was, which goes a long way toward explaining why he won the second time. Trump feels like one of us, who have taken the shape of Obama's sworn enemies. We are rejected outsiders because this America, their America, depends on and is built around race and gender identity.Both Barack and Michelle Obama made a point of elevating the illegal immigrants who crossed over under Joe Biden and celebrated the citizen army that went to war on Federal officers, even after condemning such actions on January 6th.They prioritize the illegal immigrants because they are mostly non-white and thus have special protective status, as long as they vote blue no matter who, of course. And yet, for most Americans, they still don't understand why they've been sidelined like this. Once you understand the rules of utopia, where an endless supply of oppressed people, along with an endless supply of racists, is what powers their engine.It's an ideology that comes from Western countries overtaken by global elites, who need this form of virtue signaling to justify their power and their worldwide alliance, but it doesn't do much for ordinary Americans, who don't have the luxury of putting themselves last.It is a kind of class system that pretends to be about equality, about inclusion, and diversity, but really, it's a way of categorizing us and deciding our worth. If you can participate in this game, you can go far. But if you don't, out you go.Nate Bargatze dared to show up alongside RFK, Jr., and his wife, Cheryl. The internet found out about it, and things got so bad his publicist had to issue a statement that he wasn't a Trump supporter. What kind of America is this? If they want to talk about unity, they have to call off their attack dogs.It didn't used to be this way. Those of us who have been alive a long time remember when what mattered was the majority of Americans, the free market, democracy, and all that. Box office, ratings, and elections all decided the direction of our country and our culture. Not anymore.They want our country to look a lot like Obama's kingdom, epitomized by his Brutalist monument - he's way up there, and we're all way down here. If you worship that way, we'll all get along fine, they say, but don't you dare vote in a way we don't like, or we will go to war.So is that the plan from here on out? Must all elections be sanctioned and approved by the Democrats, or else?From Utopia to DystopiaObama was not born in Chicago, but his monument will reside there as a showcase of his preferred legacy. He's the Chicago guy, not the Hawaii guy.The fortress will be a place for travelers driving across this country to stop and admire, along with other historic landmarks in Illinois, like the birthplace of Abe Lincoln and Ronald Reagan, two of Obama's strongest influences, or so he has said.The Obama museum event was a reminder of how we all shaped this story, the bad guys and the good guys of Obama's Camelot - Obamalot - the height of the glory days, where everyone had a seat at the table and we'd mostly eradicated the “ists” and the “phobes.”I think Obama thought that making history as the first Black president meant more than just winning an election, and that the influence he had and the power he attained made him more than just a two-term public servant. He was, after all, living history, and everywhere we look, we can see his fingerprints.It was the play, Hamilton. It was Bruce Springsteen before he shrank into a bitter old prune. It was Tom Hanks when he could still open movies. It was when Oprah still had influence.They think that showcasing their high status while locking out so many Americans is enviable. It's U2 and Oprah. It's Julia Roberts and George Clooney. It's Jennifer Hudson and Steven Spielberg. It's all four former presidents and their First Ladies. Obama made a point of saying that they are all of like minds except one president, the one who defeated them again after their ten-year war.Who do these people think they are? They don't have the right to tell the American people who they can and can't vote for. It is their job to make their best case to us to earn our votes, and either they do, or they don't, but they work for us, not the other way around.Are we all supposed to cheer seeing them standing there as a united front against the sitting president? They have absolutely no self-awareness about how tone-deaf this appears to most people.Do they think we've forgotten? Do they think we don't remember Michael Moore calling George W. Bush a war criminal at the Oscars?Their terrible, blatant propaganda films like Oliver Stone's W.And Adam McKay's truly awful film about Dick Cheney, Vice, one of the worst films ever made, with the sole exception of his next movie, Don't Look Up.They're not finished. They expect the other half of the country to choke down more of it, unending amounts of it, in hopes of forcing all of us into compliance through the worst art the film industry has ever seen because it is under the complete control of a totalitarian movement.Next year, we'll be tortured with a sure-to-be-terrible Sean Penn film on January 6th.They still see themselves as fighting the oppressive forces against them when the truth is that they are the oppressive force. Trump was the way out.The clocks were striking thirteenIf any of us had been paying attention, we'd have known what we built mirrored Orwell's 1984 and where it would ultimately take us.Every word of 1984 was a cautionary tale. Co-opting and distorting language, check. A Goldstein-like figure to sell two minutes of hate, check. A mandate to love Big Brother or else, check. An inside of accepted citizens ruled by the party elites and policed by the children spies, check, the abandoned working class, the Proles, outside of it, check.Trump's win, to me, was like Winston Smith's hope for the future, should the Proles rise up.That Obama and the rest of the establishment did worse than refuse to step aside but went to war on the duly elected president in an attempt to impeach, indict, discredit, and destroy him is the smoking gun that they no longer believe in American democracy. It's their way or nothing. Americans have no way out.All the people ever had was Trump, and indeed, he was and remains a mighty force. He is the troll to Obama's virtue signal, the two internet presidents who led whole armies online, facing off against each other for 15 years.Obama's ten-year plea to the American people to choose him feels desperate by now. Choose me, love me, follow me, worship me. It doesn't mean America is racist because they didn't. That has been the Left's method of policing all of us for far too long, and this country can unify the minute they snap out of it.They want us to see them as the better side, the special people, our gods and goddesses. But I look at them and see people who have long since cut themselves off from the rest of the country and have no plans to ever change. The museum reflects that better than anything ever has. What is inside? It doesn't matter. It looms large.// This is a public episode.

Next week, Andrew Iler, Mark Adamczyk, and I are heading up to Washington, D.C., to meet with Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna. Congresswoman Luna chairs the Congressional Task Force On The Declassification of Government Secrets. We have secured an opportunity  to brief her personally on critical record keeping  and oversight issues that have been festering for years.   These are issues that we  believe are core to the committee's mission when it comes to  assessing the state of JFK Records disclosure and accounting for all JFK assassination records. Perhaps, more importantly, these are  issues core to restoring the government's strict legal compliance with the JFK Records Act and public confidence in what is being shared with our citiziens. Congresswoman Luna's Task Force on the Declassification of Government Secrets is currently finalizing its historic report, and we are making this trip to ensure that our actionable recommendations are explicitly cemented into that document. We are hopeful that our recommendations are going to be taken seriously. For nearly 27 years, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has operated outside its statutory authority, undermining a law that Congress unanimously passed to guarantee an "enforceable, independent, and accountable" process for public disclosure. Early in the task force's existence, we provided a formal submission that outlined and discussed a myriad of critical issues including missing Final Determination Notifications (FDN's) and the lack of a searchable (and verified complete) index of records. We are hopeful that our input will help to restart congressional oversight of the records collection and be the  blueprint to finally correct decades of improper record  administration by NARA in the post Assassination Record Review Board era. Andrew Iler and Mark Adamczyk  are two of the foremost experts on the planet when it comes to the technicalities of the  JFK Records Act.   Their continuing research has uncovered issues with the records collection that can no longer be swept aside. Stay tuned for the results of our meetings and we will report them right here at JFK The Enduring Secret.

A conspiracy, a courtroom, and one film that changed political cinema forever.What happens when one of the most controversial political films ever made is given the full Director's Cut treatment? In this episode of Review It Yourself, Sean and Sarah are joined by returning guest Fraser McCallum to explore the sprawling, provocative and endlessly debated film JFK (1991) – Director's Cut.Part One finds Fraser returning to the podcast to discuss what he considers one of his favourite films of all time, and the conversation quickly moves beyond a simple review. Together Sean, Sarah and Fraser l dive deep into the filmmaking craft, historical context and cultural impact of Oliver Stone's controversial political epic.The discussion explores how the film blends historical fact, speculation and cinematic storytelling to present the investigation led by New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. While some critics argue the film plays fast and loose with history, Fraser argues its true power lies in its ability to spark curiosity, debate and deeper research.Along the way the team unpack the film's extraordinary ensemble cast, the remarkable editing and sound design, and the narrative structure that turns the story into something between a detective mystery and a courtroom drama. The conversation also reflects on how the film influenced public discourse around government transparency and historical truth in the years after its release.Expect a lively conversation covering:Why JFK: Director's Cut remains one of the most debated films in political cinemaKevin Costner's performance as Jim Garrison and the film's incredible castThe detective-story structure that evolves into a powerful courtroom climaxThe blurred lines between history, conspiracy and storytellingHow the film helped fuel renewed public interest in the Kennedy assassinationWhether artistic storytelling can still reveal deeper truths about historyWhether you love political thrillers, historical films or big cinematic swings, this episode explores why JFK remains a landmark film more than three decades later.About Our Guest – Fraser McCallumFraser McCallum is a returning guest on Review It Yourself, works for the Imperial War Museum and is the author of 'Cold War Britain: Fifty years in the Shadow of the Bomb'.

Conspiracies, cinema, and political paranoia collide in Oliver Stone's controversial JFK epic.In this second part of our deep dive into Oliver Stone's landmark political thriller JFK (1991) – Director's Cut, hosts Sean and Sarah continue their conversation with returning guest Fraser McCallum. The discussion moves beyond the basics of the film and into the deeper cultural and cinematic impact of one of the most debated movies ever made.Fraser returns to the show to talk about a film he considers one of his favourite movies of all time, exploring why JFK continues to provoke debate decades after its release.Together, the panel examine how Stone's film blends investigative drama, political commentary, and conspiracy thriller storytelling to recreate Jim Garrison's controversial investigation into the assassination of President John F.

The conversation looks at how the film presents competing perspectives and contradictory narratives, reflecting the complexity surrounding the historical event itself.Part Two of the discussion expands into wider themes about political corruption on-screen, the evolution of Hollywood filmmaking, and the changing landscape of serious adult drama.

What’s up Grinders. Sometimes Shaun likes to bring along a movie that really no one has heard of–usually himself included. And this week is no different. The exception is that this movie has a banger cast, by a well known director. That’s right! As no one would have guessed, it’s “U Turn,” a dark comedy noir directed by Oliver Stone. Stick around and find out what the guys thought about it!If you enjoyed this and would like more, please head on over to our Patreon to hear more bonus episodes, available (usually) weekly!  Additional links to that or our Discord can be found right on our Website!

For this episode, Wes and Ryan return back to the late 90's for a quick, but effective review of ‘U-TURN'. The film has an incredibly stacked cast and a neo- noire story that sadly has been unappreciated for years. We also chat about a ton of up coming projects, including: ‘EVIL DEAD', ‘GODZILLA', ‘TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE', ‘THE EXORCIST' and much more. Mixed and edited by: Wesley Swanson. Bo forever.

Bonus Episode of "Inside Schizophrenia" podcast from Healthline Media. “Paranoid schizophrenic admits to attacking dog walker.” When we watch a horror movie, we know the “madman” on screen is a work of fiction. But when the nightly news leads with a diagnosis to explain a tragedy, the fear it creates is very real — and often permanent.Why does the media lead with schizophrenia only when the story involves violence, yet remain silent when it comes to stories of recovery, hope, and humanity? In this hard-hitting episode, host Rachel Star Withers (who lives with schizophrenia) explores the Lead with Fear phenomenon — the dangerous journalistic trend of linking a diagnosis to a crime before the facts are even in — and why schizophrenia seems to have the worst PR team in the world. Later in the show, we sit down with two media heavyweights who are using their platforms to overhaul how the world views mental health.: Janet Yang, an Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning producer and former President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Frank Kosa, an Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker for National Geographic, the History Channel, and A&E. Listener Take-A-Ways: why "paranoid schizophrenia" is an obsolete clinical term that journalists refuse to let go of the startling statistic that fewer than 20% of news stories about schizophrenia include themes of recovery practical ways you can hold news outlets accountable and promote stories of hope Our guest, Frank Kosa, is an award-winning documentary producer-writer-director, and a journalist. He produced National Geographic's “The Story of God with Morgan Freeman,” wrote the inaugural season of Travel Channel's hit show “Booze Traveler,” produced the award-winning “The Revolutionary War,” a mini-series for A&E, “Christianity: The Second Millennium” and multiple shows of TV's most engaging documentary series including “Life Without People,” “The Universe,” and “Game Changers.” His shows have aired on The Science Channel, The History Channel, Discovery, A&E, TLC, Animal Planet, The Travel Channel, The Weather Channel, Lifetime, Bloomberg TV, HGTV, and National Geographic.

He has also worked for films and TV shows produced by Universal, Warner Bros., & Sony. He is Emmy-nominated, has won a Cable Ace and other awards, and strives to tell stories that deeply connect with audiences.  Our guest, Janet Yang, is an Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning Hollywood producer, former President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and has been named one of the “50 Most Powerful Women in Hollywood” by the Hollywood Reporter. Yang's extensive film and television credits include “The Joy Luck Club,” “The People vs. Larry Flynt,” “The Weight of Water,” “Shanghai Calling,” “High Crimes,” “Zero Effect,” and “Over the Moon.” Yang began her career by running the first distribution company to market Chinese films into North America. She also brokered the reintroduction of American studio films to the Chinese marketplace after a decades-long hiatus. This, in turn, led to joining Steven Spielberg on the historic production of “Empire of the Sun.” This was followed by long-term partnership with multiple Academy-Award winning writer/director, Oliver Stone.
