#570 - In this episode, we revisit the landmark classic One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest — a film that changed Hollywood forever. We explore Jack Nicholson's unforgettable performance, the battle between freedom and control inside the psychiatric ward, and why the movie's themes still resonate decades later. From behind-the-scenes stories to its lasting cultural impact, we break down what makes this Best Picture winner one of the greatest films ever made.Jeff: 6, Alex: 7, Scott: 6

Send us Fan MailAfter leaving Canada for the UK, Arthur Boan has worked steadily through some of the most acclaimed production in recent years on stage. For our latest interview, Arthur Boan joined us to unpack how he tapped into Chief Bromdon in Clint Dyer's electric revival of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. We dive into the challenge of playing a silent giant where his most powerful lines are the ones he never actually says. We talk about Clint Dyer's reimagining of Dale Wasserman's play based on Ken Kesey's own classic novel and how they wanted to tackle themes like colonialism and abuse of power.In an exciting new interview, Arthur Boan opens up about navigating the 360-degree exposure of performing in the round and what it's like sharing the floor with powerhouses like Aaron Pierre, Giles Terera and Olivia Williams. Arthur also shares his insight into the responsibility of reimagining classic stories like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Oklahoma. Indeed, he worked closely with director Daniel Fish on both the multi-award winning revival of Oklahoma and on a radical reimagining of Elektra starring Brie Larson. We hear him talk about the challenges of being an understudy as well now that he's playing in the main cast of a major new production, starring opposite top-tier actors in his own right. It's a deep, honest look at a performer who is proving that in a world full of noise, the quietest person in the room can sometimes have the most to say.One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest runs at Old Vic Theatre until 23rd May.

All the Film Things is BACK after a short break! On the fifty- ninth episode, production designer Izzy Dondero and filmmaker Franklin Ritch join me in analyzing Alan J. Pakula's 1976 biographical political thriller masterpiece, All the President's Men, to celebrate the film's 50th anniversary this month! This episode is explicit and spoiler- filled.All the President's Men is without a doubt one of the most significant films in American cinema for many reasons from the story at the center to being really the first film about journalism. The film, which is essentially a reenactment, follows The Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) and Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) slowly uncover the infamous story of Watergate scandal that led to the first and only resignation of a US president. This slow burn paranoid thriller is the final film in Alan J. Pakula's paranoid trilogy and, considering the film ends, the paranoia is deeply felt within the audience. All the President's Men, which is based on the book of the same title by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, was published just two years before this film was released. Robert Redford secured the rights to the book before Woodward and Bernstein were even finished writing it because he was fascinated in what they were uncovering, and, even more so, in the two very different journalists who had trouble getting along in bringing this story to light. All the President's Men went on to win four out of the eight Academy Awards the film was nominated for, including Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Jason Robards' portrayal of Ben Bradlee. What speaks to the film's legacy more than its Oscar wins is that this film, this now legendary story of Woodward and Bernstein, inspired a generation to become journalists which has surely continued to this day. This is Franklin's third and Izzy's first time on the podcast! I interviewed Franklin in December 2024 (see Episode 34) and, last fall, he joined our friend Emma Catharine and I in discussing another 70s classic, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (check out Episode 50). I became friends with Franklin over two years ago and Izzy about a year ago at Film Bar but the two of them have been friends and collaborators for a decade now. All the President's Men is a longtime favorite of Franklin's as well while this was Izzy's first time watching the film. It's evident in our discussion, and audibly through our voices, we all are very passionate about this film. That passion is audible but, unfortunately, Franklin's audio had some technical difficulties so he sounds a little quieter than usual. This episode was recorded on March 19, 2026. Just this past weekend on April 4, Izzy produced ExHiBiT JAX where four Jacksonville writers, including Franklin, brought their short plays to the stage! It was a big success as the “one- time only” showing shortly became sold out so another earlier showing was added! You'll have to stay tuned if they'll make ExHiBiT JAX a series by following @exhibitjax on Instagram but, in the meantime, Izzy is also producing a production of The Sound of Music in St. Augustine! Auditions for every role will be held in person on April 25 but self- tapes can be submitted. Go to Limelight-Theatre.org for more details! In this episode, Izzy, Franklin, and I talk about what All the President's Men is like to watch decades removed from the events depicted in the film, the peculiar prominent prop in Woodward's apartment, the surprising number of humorous moments, and how journalism has changed in 50 years! All this and much more on the latest episode of All the Film Things!Background music created and used with permission by the Copyright Free Music - Background Music for Videos channel on YouTube.

#realconversations #grifting #Ohio #ballet #director#Footloose **CONVERSATIONS WITH CALVIN — WE THE SPECIESHosted by Calvin SchwartzMeet BRYANT CARROLL; “I mentioned to the actor, producer,and now director, Bryant Carroll, as we were well into our interview, that Iwas thinking of Forest Gump's mother saying, 'Life is like a box of chocolates,you never know what you're going to get.” All in reference to my thought that Ihad no clear expectations for this interview emanating from Euclid, Ohio. WhatI discovered almost immediately was Bryant's depth, experience, dedication,vision, and movie persona. A quintessential film personality wrapped up inchildhood dreams and directions. From a young age in Ohio, he studied balletand eventually studied acting in NYC. An original cast member of Footloose onBroadway and in a 2001 revival of Hair. To me, his journey is classic. Thestuff they make movies about. There are elements of special depth and humanityto his journey. He's exploring the human experience of an aging woman who hasbeen grifting in his first direction. Heavy stuff. ‘Nowhere Good' is riveting,with wondrous acting. Yes, Bryant's direction is brilliant. I saw the film. Allof a sudden, we're talking about Steve Buscemi, Harrison Ford, and Paul Newman.We both love ‘The Sting.'  And Bryantplayed McMurphy in an Ohio production of ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.'Versatile Beyond. I didn't want the interview to end. Great conversation. Iremembered Sally Field is one of Bryant's favorite actresses. I reminded him,she said, of the box of chocolates in Forest Gump. To be continued.” Calvin

Insieme a Luca Uggeri, per la prima volta ospite del podcast, ripercorriamo la genesi di un dei capolavori americani degli anni '70: "Qualcuno volò sul nido del cuculo" (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) film diretto dal grande regista cecoslovacco Milos Forman e vincitore di 5 premi Oscar.Il protagonista della vicenda è Randle McMurphy un ribelle che per evitare il carcere si finge pazzo e viene internato in un ospedale psichiatrico. Qui si scontra con l'autoritaria infermiera Ratched e diventa il simbolo della lotta tra libertà individuale e potere oppressivo. Il film è un intenso dramma sulla follia, il conformismo e il prezzo della ribellione.

A kaiju cat with paralyzing eyes? A wizard with magical energy powers? An electronic werewolf? …Or were-cat?! Raymond Strife from The Aging Punks joins us for the most incoherent episode of the 60s Spider-Man show, where a green-skinned Burl Ives-inspired magician named Pardo sends out his eye-beam-shooting giant black cat that…might be a robot? Or an energy being? Or Pardo himself? We talk about the hilariously egregious repeated sequences and frozen audiences, and how every act of this bizarre episode seems to be written by a different person. We're watching Spider-Man (1967): Season 2, Episode 11: “Pardo Presents”.Check out The Aging Punks Podcast!Raymond on Instagram: @gutenprankenIf you're in New Jersey, go see One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and see Raymond's music video premiere at the Garden State Film Festival! Website⁠ | ⁠Patreon⁠ | ⁠Discord⁠Part of The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast CollectiveContact us: @WallopingWebPod on ⁠Bluesky⁠ and ⁠Instagram⁠Email: ⁠wallopingwebsnapperspodcast@gmail.com⁠Theme song features: ⁠“Resonance (Cyan & Ladybot Remix)” by HOME⁠ | ⁠License (CC BY 3.0)⁠

The Film Junk Podcast is a goddamn miracle of modern science and this week we're taking a look at another (indisputable?) all-time classic. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest has won its fair share of awards over the years but it's time for a modern diagnosis. Is Nurse Ratched one of the most chilling villains ever put on screen or does she actually seem kinda reasonable? Is this a career-best performance for Jack Nicholson? How do we feel about the portrayal of mental illness in the movie? It makes us feel very... peculiar. We're talking about form, content, interrelationships and so much more on this week's podcast.

Vol au-dessus dʹun nid de coucou, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, de Milos Forman, sort en 1975. Le film rafle les 5 oscars les plus prestigieux, meilleur réalisateur, meilleur producteur, meilleure adaptation, meilleur acteur, meilleure actrice en 1976. Tourné par un tchèque, produit par Michael Douglas, avec Louise Fletcher en infirmière chef et Jack Nicholson dans un rôle dʹune vérité éblouissante, celui dʹun homme en bordure, iconoclaste, insoumis et frondeur, interné dans un hôpital psychiatrique pour échapper à la prison pour viol, qui joue au plus fin avec les psychiatres et quʹon finit par démolir pour lʹunique raison quʹil refuse la règle du jeu. Le film reflète dʹune manière tragique le désarroi dʹune civilisation menacée, véritable métaphore des oppressions et qui résonne durablement avec les événements contemporains comme il lʹavait fait à lʹépoque. Vol au-dessus dʹun nid de coucou, réalisé avec un budget de 4.4 millions de dollars, est un des films les plus rentables de lʹhistoire du cinéma, puisquʹil en rapporte 320 millions. Mais au-delà des aspects financiers, cʹest lʹadaptation du roman de Ken Kesey, gourou psychédélique, lʹhistoire du tournage, ainsi que la carrière de Milos Forman, qui nous intéressent. Et si tout le monde a pris ses médicaments sous la houlette de la sévère Miss Ratched, nous pouvons commencer.

The Oscars are almost here! On the fifty- eighth episode of ATFT, my friends filmmaker Emma Catherine, movie lover Taylor Donaldson, and Emmy- winning photojournalist Cole Echevarria join this year's panel to discuss the Oscar nominated films and share our predicted winners! This episode is explicit and spoiler- filled.As Cole and I discussed in the “2025 in Film” episode, this past year has been a solid, diverse year for cinema and that is very much reflected in the Academy Award nominees. This year's awards season has largely been excitingly unpredictable, making the Oscar's more highly anticipated than usual. The four of us share many of the same favorite 2025 films such as Hamnet, One Battle After Another, and Sinners. The latter, which reunited one of the best actor- director collaborators of our time (Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler), has already made history as the most nominated film in Oscars history. There were several actors who became first time nominees from Renate Reinsve to Teyana Taylor to Delroy Lindo. It's a competitive year with so many great films and artists nominated. But there is one particular film and actor that we find overrated and it becomes a continuous topic of discussion… but you'll have to listen to the episode to find out about what we're talking about.This is the fourth annual Oscars special! Cole has been a part of this big episode all four years and this episode marks his 21st appearance on the All the Film Things! Since the Oscars is the “Super Bowl for film fans”, this episode was aimed to be more of a Sports Center/ panelist format. This is the first time Emma and Taylor have joined the Oscars special panel, making this Emma's second appearance on the show and Taylor's fifth! Emma joined our friend filmmaker Franklin Ritch and I for an analytical discussion on One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest this past September while Taylor hasn't been on the podcast since the 1999 in Film episode, which was released a year and a half ago. This episode was recorded on February 17, 2026. It was originally 2 hours and 45 minutes so it really had to be trimmed down and, sadly, some hilarious moments, were left on the cutting room floor.After a sold out Cirque de Mort show in October, Emma will soon be performing in another aerial showcase for Jax Beach Aerial Arts this May! This spring showcase is in development so there will be more information to come! I'll be sure to post about it on the All the Films Things Instagram but follow Emma on Instagram to stay updated! Taylor, who is based in North Carolina, is currently looking for a new job! Though she has a degree in film and experience in film production, she is very open to working in other industries. After working with her on a few projects, I can attest she is wonderful, hard- working, and easy to work with! Reach out to her on LinkedIn about potential job opportunities!In this episode, Cole, Taylor, Emma, and I go through each category sharing our thoughts on what should win and what will likely win, according to Gold Derby and Cole's new favorite writer Scott Fineberg from The Hollywood Reporter. Cole, who continuously brings up Fineberg, shared great insight about the documentaries nominated this year. He also has a short rant about a film that shouldn't have been nominated for Best Visual Effects. Cole and I's banter nearly hits our peak in this episode, partly because of those two reasons. Taylor reveals which Oscar- nominated actor scares her, Emma shares her least favorite Safdie brother and I once again champion my favorite actor who has a chance at earning his second Oscar this year. All this and much more on this new episode of All the Film Things!ATFT Announcement!: All the Film Things will be back on April 8!

Open up some scientific papers, and you'll hear electroconvulsive therapy described as the most effective treatment for depression (especially very severe depression). But open up others, and you'll see it described as completely useless—and a sad indictment on a medical establishment who've completely failed to provide proper evidence on it. Not only that, but they've exposed patients to serious side effects, like memory loss, for no good reason.Who's right? In this episode, we look into the most controversial psychiatric treatment since lobotomy.NEXT WEEK: we'll follow this with an episode on another controversial psychiatric treament: antidepressants.On this week's episode we discussed the article “The Perks of Being a Mole Rat”, from our sponsor, Works in Progress magazine.

"The black market exists only because we decided that this form of trade should be illegal." — Scott EdenIn October 2019, tech executive Tushar Atre was abducted from his oceanfront home in Santa Cruz and found murdered on his own property in the redwoods — shot execution-style, hands bound. He had spent barely three years in the cannabis business. Scott Eden's new book traces how a charismatic Silicon Valley entrepreneur, seeking to "disrupt" the newly legal weed industry, found himself entangled with an array of colorful and dangerous characters — hippie do-gooders, black-market operators, and stone-cold killers. We discuss the permeable divide between legal and illegal cannabis, why the industry has been an economic disaster for most founders, and whether America's half-pregnant approach to legalization created the conditions for Tushar's death. A California story about ambition, love, and the darker edges of the American dream.About the GuestScott Eden is an award-winning investigative journalist whose work has appeared in ESPN The Magazine, GQ, Wired, Inc., and The Atavist. His story "The Prosecution of Thabo Sefolosha" won a 2017 New York Press Club Award and a National Association of Black Journalists award for investigative reporting.

De filmklassieker One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest gaven elektroshocks een slechte reputatie. Het zou neerkomen op marteling. Maar bij moderne elektroshoktherapie gaat het er héél anders aan toe.

In our first ever episode dedicated to an actor we train our sights on the man, the myth, the legend that is Jack Nicholson. Specifically our focus is on his four 1975 calendrical releases: Ken Russell's Tommy, Michelangelo Antonioni's The Passenger, Mike Nichols' The Fortune, and finally we top things off with a brief discussion of his Oscar Winning turn in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. It's a fun one! We talk about some weird movies, the hosts certainly get in a few attempts at Jack impressions, and everyone should leave with a little more knowledge of that marvelous year in film that was 1975. Topics include: Nicholson's house on so-called “Bad Boy Lane”, Alana's mom's crush on Roger Daltrey, and the charms of a young Stocking Channard…I mean Stockard Channing.

As their conflict develops, we seem to be asked to compare the therapeutic value of McMurphy's introduction of the Dionysian, to Ratched's attempt to enforce an ordered calm within the psychiatric ward over which she is absolute ruler.

Dana and Tom with 5x Club Member, Sara Shea (Host and Creator of Shea Cinema), discuss the Best Picture winner of 1975, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest: directed by Milos Forman, written by Lawrence Hauben and Bo Goldman, cinematography by Haskell Wexler, music by Jack Nitzschke, edited by Richard Chew, Lynzee Klingman, and Sheldon Kahn, starring Jack Nicholson, Louise Fletcher, Danny Devito, and Christopher Lloyd.Plot Summary: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a powerful drama directed by Miloš Forman, based on the novel by Ken Kesey. The film stars Jack Nicholson as Randle P. McMurphy, a rebellious man who fakes insanity to avoid prison and is sent to a mental institution. There, he clashes with Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher) whose strict control over the patients crushes their spirits. McMurphy's defiance inspires the other men, including the quiet and gentle Chief Bromden (Will Sampson), to rediscover their sense of freedom and individuality. The movie explores themes of authority, conformity, and the human spirit, ultimately showing the cost of resisting oppressive systems.Guest:Sara SheaHost and Creator of Shea Cinema; @sheacinema on X, IGPreviously on 12 Angry Men (1957) Revisit, Barry Lyndon (1975), Shampoo (1975), 2025 Post Oscars Reaction Show, Patton (1970)Chapters:00:00 Introduction, Cast, and Background for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest04:42 Welcome Back, Sara Shea!08:23 Mental Health - Then and Now23:57 Relationship(s) with Cuckoo's Nest32:25 Plot Summary for Cuckoo's Nest33:20 What is One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest About?39:44 Did You Know?45:46 First Break46:32 What's Happening with Sara Shea?50:25 The Cinema Legacy Poll Rankings - #25-2101:05:44 Best Performance(s)01:31:09 Best Scene(s)01:38:08 Second Break01:38:48 In Memoriam01:39:13 Best/Funniest Lines01:41:04 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy01:50:36 The Stanley Rubric - Impact/Significance01:55:14 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty02:02:57 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness02:11:51 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability02:19:23 The Stanley Rubric - Audience Score and Final Total02:21:02 Remaining Questions for Cuckoo's Nest02:27:16 Thank You to Sara and Remaining Thoughts02:35:35 CreditsYou can also find this episode in full video on YouTube.You can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, or...

“But I tried, didn't I? Goddammit, at least I did that.” Join Ian & Liam for our 305th episode as we get ourselves committed to one of the greatest American films ever made: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975). Kev and Megs? They won't be joining us this week — Megs was last seen challenging Nurse Ratched's medication schedule and Kev tried to lift the hydrotherapy console to escape. Security is “having a chat” with both of them. This week we discuss: How Miloš Forman's direction created a sense of art imitating life. But who was Miss Ratched and who was Mac? Jack Nicholson's legendary performance as R.P. McMurphy — charming, chaotic, and dangerously alive.  But is it just Jack playing Jack? Louise Fletcher's cold, controlled terror as Nurse Ratched — is she evil, institutionalised, or the product of her system? The film's astonishing supporting cast — from Danny DeVito to Brad Dourif — and why the ensemble might be one of the best ever assembled.  Who asked for asshole Doc Brown? The real power struggle at the heart of the film: rebellion vs. routine, individuality vs. institution. Ian breaks down the film's narrative structure and why one sequence isn't necessary Liam reflects on the humour, the heartbreak, and the explosive final act — does any other ending hit quite like this one? Is Mac crazy? How would someone pretending to be crazy present themselves in this environment? We discuss the film's legacy: its Oscars sweep, its influence on pop culture, and its place in the “Great American Films” canon. Is McMurphy a hero, a catalyst, or a cautionary tale? What was Milos Forman trying to say in the film based on his personal lifestory? And finally, whether One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is the Best Film Ever — or simply one of the boldest critiques of power and conformity ever committed to screen.

Movies like “The Goonies,” “Animal House” and “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” are among the most famous of those filmed in Oregon, and they're points of pride for Oregon film buffs. Television shows like “Grimm” and “Portlandia” and animation studios like Laika and ShadowMachine burnish the state’s production portfolio.   While newer projects continue to shoot in Oregon, the industry was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, a lengthy writers and actors strike and an industry-wide shift to overseas production. Tim Williams is the executive director of Oregon Film, a semi-independent state agency that promotes movie and TV production in Oregon. He joins us to talk about how the industry is faring in Oregon.

Last week, Andrea and Jodie checked into One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest to talk rebellion, institutions, and what it takes to be a woman in a male-dominated field. This week, we're shipping up to Cambridge for a rewatch of Girl, Interrupted. It's another Winona Ryder voiceover project and the film that gave Angelina Jolie the world's worst bangs. We get into how Susanna Kaysen felt about seeing her memoir on screen, the 90s all-star cast, and what it says about decades of not-so-great mental-health care for women.Next week, get ready to sink your teeth into Jonathan Demme's Oscar-winning classic, The Silence of the Lambs.P.S.

This week on The Watchers, Andrea and Jodie check themselves in for a review of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. We trace the long and winding road to bringing this film to the screen, talk about its unconventional on-location set, and reflect on how it launched so many of our favorite actors' careers. We also unpack the deep misogyny baked into the writing of Nurse Ratched as a monstrous woman. Next week, we're staying in the psych ward for the Cuckoo's Nest companion piece Girl, Interrupted.If you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now.

Mike Isaacson is the Artistic Director and Executive Producer of The Muny, the third person to hold this position in The Muny's 106 -year history. During his 14 seasons, he has produced 89 Muny shows, 37 new to The Muny stage. He is also a 9 Time Tony Award winning Broadway producer. After his first season at The Muny, The Riverfront Times wrote, “Under the leadership of executive producer Mike Isaacson the quality of Muny productions rose like the proverbial phoenix.” During his tenure, Isaacson has changed the look and feel of The Muny, overseeing a transformation in every aspect of production that culminated in 2019 with the arrival of the theatre's extraordinary James S. McDonnell stage, a state-of-the art stage house that includes revolutionary LED technology, automated sets, and a host of other innovations. In 2016, The Muny embarked on an unprecedented $100 million capital campaign, raising within 5 years a record amount for any theater in the U.S. During the COVID lock-down summer of 2020, Mike produced and created The Muny 2020 Variety Hour, five live online shows that reached a worldwide audience of more than 400,000. For the summer of 2021, The Muny was one of two theaters in the U.S. to reopen, and produced five full productions, receiving acclaim for their artistry and their presence. The 2022 season's productions received 21 nominations from the St. Louis Theatre Critics Circle, more than any other theater in St. Louis. In 2023, The Muny bested its record with 26 nominations, and for it's 2024 season, The Muny received a record 30 nominations – a record for The Muny and for the Theatre Critics Circle.
