Podcasts about Orson Welles

Peter Engel and William MeiselThe Neil Haley Show opens with a warm, wide-ranging conversation with legendary television executive producer Peter Engel, the man behind Saved by the Bell and the author of the forthcoming memoir I Was Saved by the Bell, out November 15th. Engel, speaking from his home overlooking the ocean, admitted he never wanted to make the show and even told NBC president Brandon Tartikoff to find someone else, only to watch it become a global phenomenon airing in eighty-five countries at a time when few American comedies traveled beyond a handful of English-speaking markets. He credited the magic entirely to the cast, recalling the first time he gathered the young actors in one room and knew they were special. Engel walked Neil through the ensemble one by one: Mario Lopez as Slater, the most visible of the group and the one he still stays closest to, cast after Engel told his casting director to open the role to anyone regardless of ethnicity; Mark-Paul Gosselaar as the charming, scheming Zack Morris, a role he likened to a California Ferris Bueller; Dustin Diamond as Screech, whom he called a comedy genius beloved in France, and whose later struggles Engel spoke about with genuine sympathy; and the young women Tiffani-Amber Thiessen (Kelly), Elizabeth Berkley (Jessie), and Lark Voorhies (Lisa), all of whom, he said, made those the best years of his life. He shared the origins of the characters, many named for real friends and family, and reflected on how the show respected the genuine emotional stakes of teenage life, from first crushes to first heartbreaks. Engel noted that Saved by the Bell even featured the first cell phone ever shown on television and that Jimmy Fallon's reunion drew thirty-five million hits in four days. The memoir, he explained, spans his entire life, from NBC page and working alongside John F. Kennedy to piloting an early drone in the Army and encounters with icons like Bette Davis, Orson Welles, and John Lennon. His closing advice was simple and heartfelt: find something you love, never let anyone steal your dreams, and never give up. Find Peter Engel at iwassavedbythebell.com.Neil then welcomed author William Meisel, whose book The Limits of AI: The True Role of Computers in Our Future offers a grounded counterweight to the current hype, brought to the show through Books to Life Marketing. Meisel, a former USC professor whose PhD dissertation was on neural networks and who spent a decade running a speech-recognition company, traced the term artificial intelligence back to John McCarthy in 1955 and explained that what we call AI today rests on one specific technology, deep learning through neural networks. He argued that today's large language models are already close to the limits of what that technology can achieve, because they depend on enormous quantities of high-quality data, and the supply of genuinely new, independent data is running dry as the web fills with machine-generated text. Building ever-larger neural networks, he warned, would require exponentially more data than exists, risking what he memorably called artificial ignorance rather than artificial intelligence. Neil, drawing on his own hands-on work building AI agents, agreed that the tools falter badly when left to run unsupervised and shine only when a knowledgeable human feeds them focused data and clear direction. Meisel pointed to the real promise ahead: smaller, specialized models trained on high-quality, narrow datasets, citing impressive Caltech cancer-treatment research, along with unsupervised learning and clustering, and above all conversational digital assistants, the field he devoted years to. Both men landed on a shared conviction that AI is a powerful accelerator for human work, never a replacement for human judgment or creativity.

Grief has a way of erasing your map. One day you're moving with confidence, and the next you're standing in front of your work thinking, is this the first time I've ever done this? I'm recording solo while Nathan's away, partly because I need to hang out, and partly because the last few weeks have been heavy with loss. When your mind goes quiet and your body goes numb, the usual creative routines don't always work, so I lean into the simplest thing I can do: tell the truth, read, write, and keep showing up.From there, I pull a single thread through four very different voices, all pointing to the same idea: not knowing is worth protecting. The Delphian Gallery's guidance on building an art career, Orson Welles talking about the freedom of ignorance, Peter Hook's line about “wonderful mistakes,” and Austin Kleon's warning that knowing can make you boring all land in the same place. Mastery isn't the enemy, but comfort can be. If you want real artistic growth, you have to experiment, take creative risks, and accept that making bad work is often the cover charge for discovering something true.William Kentridge takes it even deeper, describing the studio as a kind of machine that turns the outside world into visible form, a collage under construction made of memories, fragments, conversations, and pain. A story from Edith Schloss about a 1943 loft makes the metaphor physical: the artist in the storm, steering what they can while admitting they can't control the weather. We end with a question I can't stop thinking about: where do you end and the world begins?If this resonates, subscribe, share it with a friend who's stuck, and leave a review so more artists can find us.

Then, they break down current weekend theatrical numbers—from Resident Evil and Coyote vs. Acme to global titans like Avatar—and explain why Gone with the Wind remains the undisputed, inflation-adjusted box office king.

Oh boy did we have a ball with this one! For this ep we dive headfirst into the wild and singular world of Henry Jaglom, a true maverick who eschewed conventional narrative and filmmaking techniques to forge his own version of cinema. We traced his early New Hollywood beginnings through his Dennis Hopper starring Vietnam psychodrama Tracks (1976), through his breakthrough crime caper Sitting Ducks (1980), and finishing up with his sublime personal talkfest Someone to Love (1987), which features the final screen performance of Orson Welles. Topics include: how sneezes feel, the strange allure of Michael Emil, and an aborted threesome between Jaglom and Hopper.

For this "ReScreen" episode, Michael does a rewatch of the 1986 animated film "The Transformers: The Movie" featuring the voices of Eric Idle, Judd Nelson, Leonard Nimoy, Casey Kasem, Robert Stack, Lionel Stander, John Moschitta Jr., Scatman Crothers, Peter Cullen, Frank Welker, and Orson Welles.

Ronda siempre ha tenido una personalidad cinematográfica. La ciudad malagueña ha evolucionado a lo largo de los años en su relación con el cine y la televisión, desde las primeras películas que difundieron una imagen romántica y folclórica vinculada a las leyendas y los bandoleros hasta convertirse en escenario de producciones internacionales. Las repasamos con Pablo Mérida.

At a yard sale in Malvern, Iowa, one of us asked the woman running it about old cameras, and her husband climbed into the rafters of his barn and came down with a dusty 8x10 view camera, which he gave us. The bellows are full of holes and there's no lens, so it needs a restorer. One of us has been in a creative flood for 3 months and fears that if he stops, it all stops; the other's momentum feels more like a frenzy. The one in the flood passes on an idea he heard: the obstacles are the path itself, and each one is a chance to be creative.An Instagram video mocking cliché photographs, like a faded pink door on a brick wall, gave one of us a small crisis, since he's taken plenty of those. Whatever you've scrolled past, we agree, steers your eye. Martin Scorsese started with about 40 years of film history to absorb, and anyone starting now has 130, which one of us calls an advantage. Brian Eno played Fela Kuti for Talking Heads as they made Remain in Light, and it changed the record. Near the end come Eno's Oblique Strategies cards, which one of us has put on his website. The first says to push to an extreme, then ease back, and the last asks for the simplest fix, which one of us learned to hunt for in Apple tech support.Mentioned in this episode: Winston Churchill, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Stanley Kubrick, Adam Sandler, Orson Welles's F for Fake, Stone Temple Pilots, Talking Heads' Remain in Light, Fela Kuti, Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies.-AiSupport the show If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us. On today's episode, with the recent passing of Peter Cullen, Andy Atherton pays tribute to him by reviewing “Transformers: The Movie” from 1986 starring Peter Cullen, Orson Welles, Robert Stack, Leonard Nimoy & Judd Nelson.

CAPTION 1936 HARLEM LAFAYETTE THEATERShakespeare Politics And American TheaterJames Shapiro, author of The Playbook: A Story of Theater, Democracy, and the Making of a Culture War, Part One: This recording examines the transformative impact of the Federal Theatre Project during the Great Depression. Shapiro highlights the historic 1936 Harlem premiere of Macbeth, an integrated cultural triumph directed by a young Orson Welles with an all-Black cast, which adapted Shakespeare to Haiti. The discussion focuses on Harry Hopkins, who created the WPA Federal One program to employ destitute artists, and director Hallie Flanagan, who established a vast, accessible national theater that brought thousands of free productions to millions of Americans. Shapiro also examines Sinclair Lewis and his antifascist novel, It Can't Happen Here. Although Hollywood spent massive sums to acquire the movie rights, studio heads ultimately cancelled the film due to foreign market fears and censorship. In response, Flanagan mobilized the Federal Theatre to adapt the work, staging it simultaneously in twenty cities across the country as a powerful, urgent nationwide warning against the dangers of rising global fascism.

Multimillionaire newspaper tycoon Charles Foster Kane (Oscar-winner Orson Welles) dies alone in his extravagant mansion named Xanadu, speaking a single word: "Rosebud."  In an attempt to figure out the meaning of this word, a reporter tracks down the people who worked and lived with Kane.  They tell their stories in a series of flashbacks which reveal much about Kane's life but not enough to unlock the riddle of his dying breath.  This was the film directorial debut of Orson Welles who was also an actor and playwright at the time of release, bringing over much of the cast from his renowned Mercury Theatre troupe to play key roles including Joseph Cotton, Dorothy Comingore, Everett Sloane, Ray Collins, George Coulouris, and Agnes Moorehead.  As the story was loosely based on the life of then media magnate William Randolph Hearst, it never achieved the necessary level of release in theaters to eneable it become commercially successful though the film was nominated for nine Academy Awards including Best Picture, along with both Best Actor and Best Director for Welles.  The only Oscar it would win would be Best Original Screenplay for Welles and co-writer Herman J. Mackiewicz.  Over time, its reputation has only grown and it is now considered by many critics and cinephiles to be one of the greatest if not THE best American film of all time. Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

A Licence to Confuse and a Swinging Sixties Spectacle For episode 203 of the Reel Britannia podcast, we are tumbling down a deeply psychedelic cinematic rabbit hole with the delightfully baffling 1967 spoof, Casino Royale.   The premise, should you choose to try and follow it, sees the original, legendary Sir James Bond (David Niven) coaxed out of a genteel retirement to take down the nefarious syndicate SMERSH. His tactical masterstroke? Confusing the enemy by renaming every single active agent—male or female—James Bond. Naturally, absolute chaos ensues.   Produced by Charles K. Feldman and steered by a famously sprawling committee of writers and directors, the film boasts a dizzying, star-studded cast that includes Peter Sellers, Ursula Andress, Woody Allen, and Orson Welles. But the real question we're asking this week is where exactly this extravagant behemoth fits into the 007 canon. Scott is joined by Steven, Tony, and Mark to figure out if the film is strictly for the die-hard fans, an odd little cinematic curio, a completely disjointed mess, or simply a wonderfully unhinged snapshot of the swinging sixties. Expect our familiar warm, conversational, and lightly irreverent style as we try to make sense of the glorious excess of it all.   This episode, along with the complete Reel Britannia back catalogue, is available wherever listeners download their podcasts and at: https://directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/id/reelbritannia Listeners can also keep up with our latest ramblings and follow the podcast on X at @rbritanniapod.   If you're enjoying the show, do bear in mind that special bonus episodes are available through the Reel Britannia Patreon, inviting listeners to support the podcast and enjoy even more of our late-night film discussions. #CasinoRoyale #JamesBond #DavidNiven #PeterSellers #SwingingSixties #BritishCinema #ReelBritannia #Podcast #007 #ClassicFilm

In Southern Oregon, the historic Wolf Creek Inn has welcomed travelers, celebrities, and curious guests since the 1800s. Originally built along the Applegate Trail, it became a popular stop for settlers, miners, stagecoach passengers, and later railroad and highway travelers. The inn has hosted famous guests including Jack London, John Wayne, Clark Gable, Carole Lombard, Orson Welles, and Sir Anthony Hopkins. Jack London especially loved the inn, spending a summer writing there, and his former room is now preserved in his honor. Today, Wolf Creek Inn is the oldest continuously operating hotel in the Pacific Northwest and a historic Oregon landmark. But Wolf Creek Inn may have more than just famous guests. Visitors and staff have reported footsteps, mysterious voices, flickering lights, apparitions, strange dreams, and objects flying across rooms. Ghostly entities reportedly include a female stagecoach driver, the spirit of Jack London, and even stories of a bizarre vampire-like creature roaming the hotel! Just a few miles away, the Golden State Heritage Site, a former mining town now considered a ghost town, has its own spooky reputation, including shadow figures and the spirit of a preacher. With decades of paranormal activity, the Wolf Creek Inn may be one of Southern Oregon's most intriguing haunted hotels. Visit our website!

David Robert Mitchell’s The End of Oak Street drops an ordinary family into extraordinary circumstances, forcing them to focus all their energy on surviving— and maybe, just maybe, learning to understand each other along the way. That structure, combined with Oak Street’s Spielbergian spectacle, pointed us toward 2005’s War of the Worlds, which fuses H.G. Wells’ 1898 novel to images and emotions that draw on the attacks of 9/11. How that approach holds up a quarter-century removed from the events that inspired it is up for discussion this week, along with where War of the Worlds falls on the Steven Spielberg Alien-Encounter Continuum, and just how close that sentimental ending comes to ruining the movie entirely. Then in Feedback, a listener, with an assist from Orson Welles, invites us to get galaxy-brained on the nature of homage as it relates to cinema generally and this podcast specifically.

This week we are joined by Mark Covino, co-director of A Band Called Death (2012), to discuss Cornel Wilde's surprising independent Most Dangerous Game riff, pitting a group of Africa. Hunters in 19th-century South Africa against a colonial game hunter.   *Come support the podcast and get yourself or someone you love a random gift at our merch store.  T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, stickers, and more! If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be discussing and reviewing Orson Welles' The Complete Mr. Arkadin (1955).

Man, we cut Orson Welles way too much slack. The guy makes Citizen Kane at the beginning of his career, then he gets to coast for the rest of his life - and posthumously too! THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND, a Welles' joint he didn't even get to finish, was received with pure adoration by critics even though it's basically just a pretentious improv session from Orson and his buddies. Listen to Alex & Julio as they try to focus on the unexpected return of Peter Bogdanovich to the main feed, and close the Bedroom to Box Office Summer Event in style!TIMELINE00:01:24 The Other Side of the Wind00:14:55 Contrarians Corner- Wanna know how we really feel about THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND?

Our Bedroom to Box Office journey has been a bit of a wild ride so of course the final stop would be Orson Welles' long lost movie. The adult film industry connection was already discussed in a bonus interview we dropped right before this episode (check it out, lots of fun) but there is a lot more to unpack about THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND.

Tonight on Sunday Night Playhouse — the very first dramatization of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca in any medium, broadcast 9 December 1938 as the debut episode of Campbell Playhouse. Orson Welles stars as Maxim de Winter and Margaret Sullavan as the unnamed second Mrs. de Winter, with Mildred Natwick as the formidable Mrs. Danvers and Agnes Moorehead as Mrs. Van Hopper. This broadcast came just weeks after Welles's infamous War of the Worlds panic, and it marks a turning point for his radio work: the unsponsored Mercury Theatre on the Air had just become the Campbell's Soup-sponsored Campbell Playhouse, bringing in guest stars from outside Welles's regular company for the first time. Rebecca itself hadn't yet been filmed — Alfred Hitchcock's celebrated adaptation was still a year and a half away — which means this broadcast isn't an echo of a film you already know. It's the story finding its voice for the very first time, anywhere. Bernard Herrmann's original score for this broadcast later became the foundation of his score for the 1943 film. The evening closed with Du Maurier herself, interviewed live from London. Visit us at vintageclassicradiopodcast.com.

Orson Welles as The Third Man  The Lives of Harry Lime "5000 Pengoes and a Kiss" January 25, 1952 Lang-Worth syndication The Lives Of Harry Lime "Blue Bride" October 19, 1951  Lang-Worth syndication

Who was Pier Paolo Pasolini—and what made him one of the most fascinating, controversial, and uncompromising artists of the 20th century?A poet, filmmaker, writer, intellectual and provocateur, Pasolini approached cinema differently from almost anyone around him. He saw cinema as a "language of reality" and developed a visual grammar shaped by poetry, literature, painting, faces, landscapes, religion and politics.In this episode of The Artists Podcast, we explore how Pasolini thought, created and saw the world with Robert S. C. Gordon, Serena Professor of Italian at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of the British Academy. Gordon is one of the leading scholars of modern Italian literature and cinema, and has written extensively on Pasolini, including the influential study Pasolini: Forms of Subjectivity.What is the central theme of a great artist? How does childhood shape an artist's imagination? Why did Pasolini's lack of conventional film training allow him to develop such a distinctive cinematic language?We explore his relationship with Federico Fellini and Orson Welles, his "cinema of poetry," The Gospel According to St. Matthew, Oedipus Rex, his fascination with faces and landscapes, and the complicated relationship between intellectualism and artistic ego.And finally: Which Pasolini films should Gen Z watch today?This is a conversation about Pasolini—but also about what happens when an artist refuses to fit into the world around him.⏱️

Julian Schlossberg - MovieTalk, Memoirs & the Magic of Show Business Learn more about Julian at: JULIAN SCHLOSSBERG - Home    Listen to his podcast at: Home | Julian Episode Highlights   The Radio That Fueled Imagination: Julian grew up with radio first—imagining the Lone Ranger's range and Jack Benny's vault. Television's arrival felt like magic: free shows, baseball games, and variety programs, all in his home.   The Audition That Never Happened: On his first day job hunting, Julian told a white lie to an interviewer—"You don't remember me, but you told me to finish college and come back." The interviewer said, "I remember." He got the job. His mother couldn't believe it happened on day one.   The Ziegfeld Miracle: As a 27-year-old running the "white elephant" Ziegfeld Theater, Julian booked *That's Entertainment*, *Tommy*, and *Roller Coaster*—grossing $3 million in one year when top tickets were $3-$4. Studios decided he "must know something."   The Barry Diller Negotiation: When Paramount's Barry Diller wanted Julian in LA, Julian refused to leave New York. Diller offered two weeks in NY, two in LA. Julian said no again—and got hired anyway.   “Nobody But You": Early in his marriage, Julian complained about his office messing up. His wife said, "Nobody but you." It took the wind right out of his sails—and kept him grounded.   The Orson Welles Restoration: Julian's proudest achievement: restoring and distributing Orson Welles' *Othello*, which had languished in a vault for 40 years. No one else wanted it. He spent eight months raising money and fixing the film so the world could finally see it.   Stay on the Ledge: Julian's advice to aspiring creatives: "You don't let go of the ledge. Actors are wounded people—they've been rejected constantly, yet they kept going because they wanted the prize.   Show Notes

This week we step into the darkness with two classic adventures from The Shadow, starring the legendary Orson Welles as Lamont Cranston and Agnes Moorehead as the ever-resourceful Margo Lane. When Orson Welles took over the title role in 1937, he was only 22 years old, yet his commanding performance helped define one of radio's greatest heroes. Paired with Agnes Moorehead, whose remarkable talent made every scene come alive, the two created radio magic that still captivates listeners nearly ninety years later. These two stories also showcase something that made The Shadow unique. Being invisible wasn't enough—The Shadow succeeded because he understood how criminals thought. Whether facing a ruthless counterfeiting ring or solving a murder aboard an ocean liner, he always stayed one step ahead. So dim the lights, let your imagination take over, and enjoy an evening of radio at its finest. In This Episode Introduction to The Shadow and the legendary partnership of Orson Welles and Agnes Moorehead. The League of Terror (January 9, 1938) Thoughts on why The Shadow was the perfect hero for radio. Aboard the Steamship Amazon (May 8, 1938) Reflections on imagination, suspense, and why these stories continue to entertain today.
