A film about a man trying to fund a gender-affirming operation by robbing a bank sounds like a modern-day plot. But 50 years ago, that was the scenario for the classic film Dog Day Afternoon. We're featuring our interviews with director Sidney Lumet and with Al Pacino, who starred as the bank robber. Lumet gave his lead license to take the role as far as he wanted, and then pushed Pacino to do more. "It's really one of the best pieces of movie acting I've ever seen. It was blinding in its intensity, agonizingly painful," he told Terry Gross in 1988.Also, Maureen Corrigan reviews The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai which has been shortlisted for the Booker Prize.

Tonight's Triple Feature is a director spotlight on Michael Mann, a filmmaker who has built his career around professionals under pressure and the costs of living by codes.We begin with Ferrari (2023) — a film Mann spent decades trying to make. Starring Adam Driver as Enzo Ferrari, the movie takes place in the summer of 1957, when Ferrari's company was facing bankruptcy, his marriage was crumbling, and the infamous Mille Miglia race loomed large. It's not just a biopic but a portrait of obsession: the relentless drive to build something lasting, even as personal and public tragedies pile up.From there we move to Heat (1995), Mann's defining crime epic. Al Pacino plays Vincent Hanna, an LAPD detective, while Robert De Niro plays Neil McCauley, a career thief. Both men are at the top of their respective crafts, and both are consumed by their work to the point of personal ruin. The film's legacy is monumental—praised for its authenticity, its attention to detail in portraying criminal life, and of course, the first face-to-face meeting of Pacino and De Niro on screen.Finally, we close with Collateral (2004), a lean, modern thriller shot largely on digital cameras when that technology was still new. Tom Cruise plays Vincent, a contract killer who hires Jamie Foxx's cab driver, Max, to ferry him around Los Angeles during a night of assassinations. It's a film about chance encounters, moral choices, and the ways ordinary lives are disrupted by the professional ruthlessness of others.Together, these films illustrate Mann's enduring obsessions: characters defined by their craft, stories where professionalism is both armor and curse, and worlds where the pursuit of excellence isolates people from human connection. Whether it's a race car mogul, a master thief, or a contract killer, Michael Mann's protagonists live—and often die—by the codes they set for themselves.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

Welcome! Our Sweaty Series continues with one of the sweatiest movies ever made—Dog Day Afternoon, starring Al Pacino. The film starts normally, but as Pacino's bank robbery turns into a lengthy standoff, the characters look absolutely miserable. Sidney Lumet's dramedy is a landmark of the 70s, and endures as a classic to this day. To pair, we'll enjoy a warm weather white wine. Next week: The sweatiest movie of the 90s. #Cinemavino #70s #BankRobbery #AlPacino
Zwei Schauspielgiganten treffen erstmals aufeinander: #RobertDeNiro und #AlPacino bringt #MichaelMann in diesem Neonoir-Thriller zusammen auf die Leinwand – beim ersten Duell wird geredet, beim zweiten geschossen. „Heat“ ist einer der bedeutendsten Filme des 20. Jahrhunderts, der aber 1995 nicht einmal für einen Oscar nominiert war. Erzählt wird eigentlich eine ganz einfache Geschichte: Ein Cop jagt einen Gangster, doch wenn die beiden einander anblicken, dann sehen sie in ein Spiegelbild. Michael Mann zeigt in seinem knapp dreistündigen Film ein Los Angeles, wie wir es nie zuvor gesehen haben: grau-blau schimmert diese erbarmungslose Stadt, die von totaler Individualisierung geprägt ist. „Heat“ ist in erster Linie ein Film über die Einsamkeit in der Moderne, haltlos und besessen von etwas, das sie nicht benennen können, bewegen sich die Protagonisten durch die Straßen. Das Ziel haben sowohl De Niro als auch Pacino schon lange aus den Augen verloren, zur Umkehr jedoch ist es längst zu spät. Was sollte man auch sonst tun? Im Fernsehen Sport gucken und am Abend Barbecue zubereiten? Der Cop und der Gangster fürchten sich vor der Langeweile und der Gewöhnlichkeit, doch sie zahlen dafür einen hohen Preis. Michael Mann zeichnet nicht nur vielschichtige Figuren innerhalb eines komplexen Netzes aus Ökonomie und Verbrechen, sondern er zeigt auch eine Männlichkeit, die viele aktuelle Diskurse gar nicht wahrnehmen wollen.

Dog Day Afternoon tells the story of a man, Sonny (Played by Al Pacino), and his best friend, Sal (played by John Cazale), as they decide to rob a bank to pay for Sonny's lover's sex change operation. But things don't go according to plan, Sonny & Sal end up taking hostages in a stand-off against the Police. Based on real events, this film features one of Al Pacino's greatest ever performances. It is still seen as a masterpiece fifty years after it was released.Film Critic Sheila O'Malley was exposed to Dog Day Afternoon from a very young age and it stayed with her through the years. She joins the podcast to explain why the film means so much to her, what going to the Actors Studio did for her to understand movies like this in greater detail and how Pacino's performance is full of vulnerability.

In this episode of our 2025 series where we take on the big-hitting movies from 1975 and 1995, we are talking about the Sidney Lumet-directed masterpiece Dog Day Afternoon.

For over thirty years, Adam Scott has been one of the most engaging, hilarious, versatile actors we have working today. Born in Santa Cruz, California, Scott, the son of two teachers and the youngest of three children, sent all of his schooling in The Golden State, as he was a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Post college, Scott started to get acting gigs in several feature films like Star Trek: First Contact, The Lesser Evil, High Crimes, and a notable supporting role in The Aviator, sharing scenes with Leonardo DiCaprio. At the same time, he had made a name for himself on the small screen with appearances on shows like Boy Meets World, Party of Five, and as a love interest on Six Feet Under. Growing up, Scott always dreamed of becoming either the next Al Pacino or David Letterman, becoming obsessed with Pacino as a beacon of acting for a generation as well with Letterman's obscure sense of humor tickling his funny bone. It's funny how life works out, because as Scott was making his mark in more dramatic work, the summer of 2008 changed his career forever when he starred in the latest comedy from director Adam McKay, Step Brothers, and without any improve skills to his resume, was able to land giant laughs opposite the biggest comedy star of the time, Will Ferrell. From this moment, things took off for Scott, as the following summer saw the release of the cult comedy television classic, Party Down, which followed a group of caterers in Los Angeles as they hope to make it in Hollywood. The show was cancelled after two seasons in 2010 (though it was brought back in 2023 for a third season), but as that door closed for Scott, another one opened with his role as Ben Wyatt on Parks and Recreation, a state auditor who slowly becomes the love interest for Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler). As a fan of the acclaimed NBC show, I can say that the best thing to happen to Parks and Recreation was the addition of Scott as Ben Wyatt, delivering one of the funniest characters on the show as well as one of the best television couples of the last twenty years. Since his time with the gang from Pawnee, Indiana, he's continued to showcase his range as an actor, with guest comedic spots on shows like The Good Place and Veep, was part of the ensemble for Big Little Lies, appeared in the sequel to Wet Hot American Summer, and even hosted comedic physical game show called Don't in 2020. But all of this work has lead him to the biggest role of his career so far as Mark on hit Apple TV+ drama, Severance. From the mind of creator Dan Erickson, Severance follows employeesat a mysterious company called Lumon Industries that have undergone a procedure known as “severance” to ensure that they have no memories to the outside world while they are at work, with no memory of their work life once they leave the building. This creates then the idea of an “innie” and “outie” personality within one's self, which would be dangerous if the worlds crosses, but that's exactly what happens to Mark at the end of season one, as he and his other colleges at Lumon briefly are able to bring their innie selves into the real world in their outie's body. The second season grapples with the repercussions of the rebellious Lumon employee's actions, as well as goes down various rabbit holes to show that the company that Mark works for is various dangerous as well as a deeper, personal connection to him that he could've ever known. It's riveting, thought-provoking, thrilling television that has slowly become the best show on television in large part to the excellent writing by Erickson, the inventive direction by Ben Stiller, and the incredible work by the show's massive ensemble, led by Scott, who in season two, not only gives the best performance of his career so far, but the best performance by any actor on television this year. In his glowing review of the season, our television editor Tyler Doster stated that Scott was “at his best this season,” finding “a new hunger” within his performance that grows this season as the mystery around Mark and the other characters begins to take shape. In my in-depth conversation with the Emmy nominated actor and producer, we discussed the anticipation of filming season two, the differences in playing Mark S. and Mark Scout, how trust is a key theme throughout the second season, and what it is like to be part of a global television phenomenon similar to The Twilight Zone and Lost; two shows that mean a lot to him and speak to the power of character forward storytelling. We also spoke about the dueling romantic relationships Mark finds himself in, what it is like working with co-stars Britt Lower and Dichen Lachman, the technical challenges of filming the camcorder and running sequences found in first and last episode of the season, as well as his versatility as a character actor; moving from drama to comedy, and how that helped him form who Mark is. In between all of this, Scott shared his favorite flavor of Gatorade, the need for bananas when performing stunts on set, his fondness for his time on his other beloved television series Party Down and Parks and Recreation, and why he loves the Fast and The Furious franchise. From comedy to drama to everything in between, Scott can do it all, and with Severance, he's showcasing a confidence of an actor who is destiny to continue to empty the tank until it's time to punch out his time card a long time from now. Adam Scott is Emmy-nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for the episode "Cold Harbor" of Severance. Music: Severance, Opening Title Sequence: Season 2 (intro) and “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

Other topics include: early portrayals of gay activism, Lumet's book ‘Making Movies', and Johnny Wojtowicz: the larger-than-life figure at the center of the actual event.
It's the final one in our Not So Happy Ending series and what better WAY to end it then with Carlito's Way! Enough said. Pacino, Penn, Miller, De Palma....Classic*Released the weekend of 7/25/2025

(Airdate: 7.2.25) The jury in Diddy's federal trial has reached verdicts on four out of five counts—including the major sex trafficking charges—but they're deadlocked on the racketeering charge, and the judge says deliberations must continue. Then we jet to Rome, where Al Pacino was spotted dining at Il Bolognese with NBC freelancer Caterina Di Terlizzi. The two shared a cheek kiss, a warm hug, and what looked like deep conversation. Pacino's in Italy filming Maserati: The Brothers. Finally, Keith Urban didn't storm off during a recent Zoom interview—his team ended the call after a touchy question about wife Nicole Kidman's steamy scenes. His rep called it a “nothingburger.” As always—Hollywood does what Hollywood does… and we're here for it.
This much anticipated cops and robbers showdown from movie maven Michael Mann featured a film first: DeNiro and Pacino sharing a scene. Criminals found it inspiring, but is it still worth the hype?

Rachel Reeves on massive spending spree, while business confidence and jobs plummet. Where is she going to get the money from? Taxpayers and businesses, us! UK economy declined in April, as growth stagnates. Job vacancies and recruitment falling, as higher taxes drive business away. See Smart Money Is Moving East – Is the UK Finished? - https://youtu.be/_5jK8oHuj8o What can you do to secure your financial future in this changing world? Could Japan's debt crisis cause a worldwide recession? The more money I made the less I had. Al Pacino, legendary Hollywood actor Despite earning millions from hit movies such as The Godfather trilogy, Scarface and The Scent of a Woman, Al Pacino was almost broke TWICE at the height of his fame and fortune. Living “high on the hog”, spending $3-400,000 per MONTH! Flying private jets and renting a huge house in Beverley Hills for 20 years! He once flew his family and nannies on a private Gulfstream 500 to London and took an entire floor at the Dorchester. He left his finances in the hands of a crooked accountant to the celebrities, who was later sentenced to seven years in jail for running a Ponzi scheme. Pacino loved acting but admits that he was not paying attention to his finances and failed to invest. In his book, Sonny Boy, he said, “I would give money away because I had it” and “it didn't feel real, but it was, as I later found out”. “The amount of money I was spending was so f****** crazy, a montage of loss” the Godfather star added. Pacino said when you make $10 million dollars for a movie you don't get $10 million dollars. After lawyers, agents and the government take their share you end up with around $4 million. His living expenses alone were at least that amount before he put his own cash into arthouse films which made no money and in many cases were not even distributed. Things were out of control as his staff and expenses expanded. He owned two cars, but was paying for sixteen, along with multiple cell phones, salaries and a $400,000 a year for a landscaper on a house he didn't even own! The list goes on and the star wasn't even signing his own cheques and his money was draining out faster than a leaking pipe. Hangers on took advantage of Pacino's generosity as his staff and expenses eventually grew beyond his means. He said, the more money he made the less he had! What can we learn from Pacino's mistakes? You don't have to be a movie star to experience the same issues. Managing your money is important whether you're making $100,000 a year or $100 million!

While speaking with the press during the G7 Summit in Canada, President Donald Trump said the Iranians “would like to talk but they should have done that before.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio has stated the United States played no role in the strikes—though, the administration continues to insist that Iran cannot be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.

Meanwhile, in response to the parade, far-left protests broke out in major cities across the country—sometimes turning violent. 3:40pm- During a weekend interview, Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) reacted to the Trump Administration's decision to federalize the National Guard in Los Angeles after Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass refused to halt violent demonstrations—accusing President Donald Trump of creating “some real dangers.” He said that the National Guard in Pennsylvania remains under the governor's control. 4:05pm- Julianna Freeman—Writer for The Daily Caller, American Spectator, and The Federalist—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her latest article: “Cameras and Cash Fuel ‘No Kings' Protests Against Trump: Today's Democrats are puppets to the purse strings—their passion is real, but their causes are contrived and backed by billionaires.” You can read the full article here: https://spectator.org/cameras-and-cash-fuel-no-kings-protests-against-trump/. 4:25pm- What's the better movie: Casino or Goodfellas?

This week, we're firing up the intensity with Heat, Michael Mann's epic 1995 crime saga that brought together two cinematic titans — Al Pacino and Robert De Niro — for the first time ever in a shared scene. (Yes, The Godfather Part II doesn't count — different timelines, folks.) Heat is a gritty, stylish, and emotionally charged cat-and-mouse thriller set against the moody backdrop of Los Angeles. Pacino plays Lt. Vincent Hanna, a relentless LAPD detective with a chaotic personal life and a flair for dramatic yelling. De Niro is Neil McCauley, a cool, calculating career thief who lives by a strict code: never get attached to anything you can't walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner. After a high-stakes armored car heist goes sideways, Hanna starts closing in on McCauley and his crew, which includes a young, twitchy Val Kilmer and Tom Sizemore in full 90s tough-guy mode. The film builds toward one of the most iconic diner scenes in film history — a quiet, tense face-off between Pacino and De Niro — and ends with a pulse-pounding airport showdown you won't forget. With a killer supporting cast (Ashley Judd, Natalie Portman, Jon Voight, and even a blink-and-you'll-miss-him Henry Rollins), a haunting score, and shootouts that still influence action films today, Heat isn't just a movie — it's an experience. Stylish, sprawling, and full of moral gray areas, it's Michael Mann at the top of his game. So buckle up, because this week on Totally 80s and 90s Recall, we're diving deep into the heat, the heists, and that glorious late-90s energy. Don't miss it!

Adam kicks off the show by reminiscing about his co-starring role in Wreck-It Ralph and the surprising reaction it still gets from fans. He then unveils yet another classic Al Pacino scene, this time with Jay Mohr putting his own spin on the character—proving once again that Pacino impressions never get old. From there, Adam riffs on coaster weight, the gnarly side effects of Niacin, Biden's cancer diagnosis, the sheer brilliance of pit crews, and the fine line between first and last place—not just in racing, but in life. Next, Jay Chandrasekhar joins the show and dives into:The universal boyhood obsession with foot speed (because being the fastest kid on the playground is basically royalty).His journey through comedy as an Indian kid in grade school, dealing with stereotypes and British influence over India.The decision to cast himself in movies and TV shows instead of waiting for Hollywood (considering the only Indian "stars" he saw were Fisher Stevens and Peter Sellers in brownface).The hilariously awkward story of wearing his wife's underpants (sometimes you just gotta improvise).Why comedy films should be communal experiences—because laughing alone just isn't the same.Jay and Adam also break down the realities of directing low-budget movies vs. TV shows, and Jay introduces his new app, VouchVault, which he swears will revolutionize review sites and help him finally get revenge on Rotten Tomatoes. They wrap up their chat by agreeing that seeing Phish live is overrated, and Jay shares his comedic influences: John Landis, Eddie Murphy, and Richard Pryor. Naturally, both Jay and Adam declare Spinal Tap the greatest comedy of all time. Jason "Mayhem" Miller joins the show and kicks off the news with a must-see clip of Adam singing "Big Bottoms" with John Popper. From there, the trio dives into the top stories of the day, including:Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis.NYC's most notorious repeat offender—a guy who's been caught 134 times for stealing and still hasn't stopped.And finally, the mind-blowing possibility of science turning lead into gold.Get it on!FOR MORE WITH JAY CHANDRASEKHAR:INSTAGRAM: @jaychandrasekharTWITTER: @jaychandrasekhaAPP: https://www.vouchvault.com/FOR MORE WITH JASON “MAYHEM” MILLER:INSTAGRAM: @mayhemmillerTWITTER: @mayhemmillerWEBSITE: magnvs.io/pages/summit?via=mayhemThank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnlineCalderaLab.com/ADAMGo to https://hometitlelock.com/adamcarolla and use promo code ADAM to get a FREE title history report so you can find out if you're already a victim AND 14 days of protection for FREE!

Franchise Addicts is back—with the godfather of all franchises. In this episode, Luke and Chris dive deep into The Godfather (1972), unpacking its legacy, themes, and iconic moments.

After a month-long hiatus — and just before we take another — Jacob, Sage, and Tate are back at it with a review of the 1975 classic Dog Day Afternoon, starring Al Pacino and John Cazale. This gripping, unconventional heist film sparks a wide-ranging conversation about the real-life events that inspired it, including the Attica Prison Riots and the Life magazine article that formed the basis for the script. We dive into Pacino's powerhouse performance, the film's bold storytelling choices, and why Dog Day Afternoon still resonates nearly 50 years later.This movie was directed by Sydney Lumet.GD4AM: 85/100IMDb: 8.0/10Metacritic: 86/100Letterboxd: 4.3/5RT: 96%Three amateur robbers plan to hold up a Brooklyn bank. A nice, simple robbery: Walk in, take the money, and run. Unfortunately, the supposedly uncomplicated heist suddenly becomes a bizarre nightmare as everything that could go wrong does.This movie is currently available for rent on most VOD platforms.
On this episode of Remainders we watch the 2002 movie Insomnia. The only movie in Christoher Nolan's filmography in which he doesn't have a writing credit, Insomnia has always felt like an outlier in the director's career. It's most notable aspect was Robin Williams and his villainous role as Finch, a first for Williams. Playing opposite the most strung out possible version of Al Pacino, we see if this thriller holds up.Other topics include Nolan's ranking, follow-up on our Mad Max Fury Road episode, fake reviews for Insomnia, Black Mirror, Andor and Star Wars, the passing of the alligator from Happy Gilmore, Hillary Swank, more Pacino marathon's coming up, and whether or not Nicky Katt has the best line in any Nolan movie.Songs of the WeekThe Swimming Song by Loudon Wainwright IIIIf I Could Only Fly by Blaze FoleyRemainders Jukebox PlaylistWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter

Recorded together in person for the first time! It's like that scene in Heat where De Niro and Pacino meet for the first time in that diner. I wonder which one will kill the other one… On this episode: Drew accidentally got really high before they recorded. They spill the latest Shrek musical tea. They dive deep into Kenneth Copeland lore and watch his most viral moments together. Also Grant's dog, Obi, is there.
