“And I did get to do a session with Count Basie and his orchestra. You know, it's a lot easier to record people that play well than people who can't play well. Because, I mean, it almost records itself. I mean, yeah, you got to set up the microphones, you got to use the right techniques and so forth, and don't overload the microphones. But these great players are much easier to record than mediocre players with the same equipment.” – Robin GulcherThis episode is the second half of my conversation with sound designer Robin Gulcher as we discuss how room tone can make or break recording quality, Robin's advice to film students on making the best use of sound, and his memorable recording session with a bagpipe-and-jazz band.As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes.

I would so appreciate that.(00:00) – The Importance of Dynamic RangeAs the second half of our discussion begins, Robin reveals when and how commercials became so much louder than the shows we're watching. “That was sort of intentional,” he explains, “because back when radio and television were broadcast through the air, the way they could increase their advertising rates was getting to more people. And since the [signal] of a compressed commercial is denser, it could travel through air farther.” He tells us about his work with film directors, and the dangers of overlooking the importance of room tone in a recording session. “The director that I was working with said, ‘You know, in this digital age, we don't need to stop and take the time to do the room tone because you can just do your digital stuff.' I said, ‘Yeah, but the problem with that is, what do the actors do between sentences? They breathe. So that's not room tone – that's breathing.'”(12:39) – Robin's Most Memorable SessionsRobin tells us about some of the artists he's recorded over the years, such as Count Basie and the Orchestra, and what he learned from setting up the microphones for a bagpipe-and-jazz jam session. “I've recorded a lot of, you know, great instrumentalists,” he tells us. “And it's just, when you're recording great players, and the Count Basie Orchestra was full of great players, it's just an easier job.” He shares the lessons he gives his students about the power of sound in marketing, and why jingles aren't necessarily his go-to branding approach. “It really cramps creativity,” he explains. “Clients say, ‘Well, I spent all that money on that jingle, and I want to hear it. I want to hear my name sung.' And so it sort of limits the agency's creativity options by selling them things like jingles.”(24:26) – Cinematic Soundscapes and Sonic LogosAs our discussion comes to a close, Robin tells us about what his work in cinematography has taught him about the power of sound. “In films, whether it's animation or drama or comedy, I think it's more environment branding,” he explains, “putting them in a space. And you know, if this particular space is seen in other areas of the movie, it sounds the same because it's the same space.” We discuss how brands can take the same approach to sonic logos, and talk about the art of creating impossible sounds. “They were in that big castle,” he recalls a climactic scene from Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy, “and the dragon was in there, and no one had ever been in that space before. And the sound design team had to create something that nobody had ever heard before for that environment.”Episode SummaryWe discuss Robin's sound design approach at Columbus College.The importance of dynamic range in sound design and commercials.Exploring the untapped potential of sound in film and advertising.Connect with the Audio Branding Podcast:Book your project with Voice Overs and Vocals by visiting https://voiceoversandvocals.comConnect with me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jodikrangle/Watch the Audio Branding Podcast on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JodiKrangleVOConnect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodikrangle/Leave the Audio Branding Podcast a review at https://lovethepodcast.com/audiobranding (Thank you!)Share your passion effectively with these Tips for Sounding Your Best as a Podcast Guest!https://voiceoversandvocals.com/tips-for-sounding-your-best-as-a-podcast-guest/Get my Top Five Tips for Implementing an Intentional Audio Strategyhttps://voiceoversandvocals.com/audio-branding-strategy/Editing/Production by Humberto Franco - https://humbertofranco.com/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

12 Décembre 2012. Le premier volet des films du Hobbit, réalisé par Peter Jackson, sort enfin au cinéma 

J. R. R. Tolkiens Werke sind nicht nur Literatur, sondern kulturelle Meilensteine. Doch wie gelang die Übertragung dieser komplexen, mythischen Welten auf die Leinwand? In dieser Folge diskutieren Gordian und Jan die Faszination und die Herausforderungen der Adaptionen durch Peter Jackson. Tolkien: Der Meister der Mythen Tolkien schuf mit Der Herr der Ringe, Der Hobbit und weiteren Werken nicht nur Geschichten, sondern ganze Universen. Seine Sprache, die detaillierte Weltbau-Elemente und die unterschiedlichen Kulturen machen seine Werke zu einem Meisterwerk der Fantasy. Besonders spannend: die Übersetzungen und wie sie die Stimmungen der Charaktere einfangen – oder verfehlen. Die Diskussion wirft Fragen auf: Sollte Bilbo „Chef“ zu Frodo sagen? Oder ist „Meister Frodo“ die bessere Wahl? Und wie spricht man eigentlich Minas Tirith aus? Peter Jackson: Visionär oder Verräter? Peter Jacksons Herr der Ringe-Trilogie gilt als Meisterwerk des Kinos – doch spätestens seine Hobbit-Verfilmung polarisiert. Während die visuellen Effekte und die düstere Ästhetik von Mittelerde begeistern, wirft die Folge kritische Blicke auf dramaturgische Entscheidungen. Kino vs. Buch: Wer gewinnt? Die Folge stellt die zentrale Frage: Kann ein Film ein Buch jemals vollständig einfangen? Die Antwort: Nein – aber er kann es ergänzen. Während die Bücher Tiefe und Mythos bieten, schafft das Kino emotionale Intensität und visuelle Pracht. Doch wo Jackson Technik und Spektakel in den Vordergrund stellt, fehlt manchmal der Zauber der Vorlage. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt auf der Beziehung zwischen Bilbo und Thorin: Im Buch entwickelt sie sich langsam und subtil, im Film wird sie dramatischer inszeniert. Ist das notwendig für die Handlung – oder eine unötige Überhöhung? Kino als Erlebnis: Warum der große Bildschirm zählt Abschließend wird die Bedeutung des Kinos selbst diskutiert: Kino ist kein Streaming. Es zwingt den Zuschauer, sich hinzugeben – ohne Ablenkung, ohne Vor- und Zurückspulen. Gerade bei Fantasy-Filmen wie Der Herr der Ringe oder Der Hobbit entfaltet sich die Magie des Kinosaals erst richtig: Sounddesign, vertikale Kamerafahrten und die Unmittelbarkeit machen den Unterschied. Peter Jackson versteht es, den Zuschauer mitzureißen – selbst wenn nicht jede Szene perfekt gelingt. In dieser Episode erfährst du: - Wie Tolkien Mittelerde erschaffen hat – und warum seine Sprachvielfalt so entscheidend ist. - Warum Peter Jacksons Filme polarisieren: Zwischen technischer Meisterleistung und dramaturgischen Schwächen. - Die Rolle von Andy Serkis‘ Gollum: Ein Meisterwerk der Schauspielkunst – oder eine übertriebene Darstellung? - Buch vs. Film: Wo die Adaptionen gelingen – und wo sie scheitern. - Kino als Medium: Warum der große Bildschirm für Fantasy-Filme unersetzlich ist. Abonnier unseren Podcast hier oder auch auf Spotify, Apple oder YouTube, teile diese Folge mit Freund:innen und erzähle uns in den Kommentaren auf YouTube oder auf Bluesky von dir wichtigen Momenten in Tolkiens Werken und auch in Jacksons Verfilmungen. Denn gute Geschichten beginnen beim Zuhören.

Bob and Brad revisit Peter Jackson's King Kong (2005), over two decades after fourteen-year-old Bob called it “about as damn perfect of a movie as you can get.” They agree that the film's final two hours remain extraordinary, but sharply divide over whether its first hour provides essential character development or desperately needs trimming. Along the way, they examine King Kong as distinctly American folklore, how Peter Jackson shifted audience sympathy from the Depression-era expedition to Kong himself, and why “beauty killed the beast” is really about a creature whose capacity for wonder leaves him defenseless against exploitation. They also review SHĀNG East + West Kentucky Blend, a softer and more affordable sorghum-whiskey follow-up to Dàn Yǎ.For longer episodes and special bonus content, consider joining our ⁠Patreon⁠ for as little as $3/mo!Film & Whiskey ⁠Instagram⁠Film & Whiskey ⁠Facebook⁠Film & Whiskey ⁠Twitter⁠⁠Email us⁠!⁠Join our Discord server!⁠For more episodes and engaging content, visit Film & Whiskey's website at ⁠www.filmwhiskey.com⁠.

C'est film clé de lʹhistoire du cinéma, sorti en 1933, avec des images fortes qui impriment notre rétine à jamais. Si je vous dis un immense singe sur lʹEmpire State Building, descendu par des avions, vous savez tout de suite de quoi nous parlons. Car cʹest aussi simple que cela : King Kong est une icône. Le singe le plus célèbre de lʹhistoire du cinéma, un animal fantastique, un gorille monstrueux, gigantesque, sauvage mais touchant. Une création due  à la folie de deux réalisateurs complètement allumés et fans dʹaction : Ernest B. Schoedsack et Merian C. Cooper. Ce nʹest pas lʹadaptation dʹun livre dʹépoque, mais bel est bien une idée originale née de lʹimagination de ces deux hommes qui tournent des films entre deux autres projets, toujours par peur de sʹennuyer. Kong est leur immense bébé. Ce personnage de singe démesuré nʹest que le reflet de ses créateurs, un chef-dʹœuvre dʹinventivité, de créativité. Mais il y a un autre homme quʹil faut citer : Willis OʹBrien. Cʹest lui le décorateur et le maquettiste qui est derrière les effets spéciaux révolutionnaires qui donnent vie à King Kong, ce monstre dʹHollywood qui nous narre quelque chose de plus profond quʹune forêt exotique, une starlette kidnappée, et des gratte-ciel new-yorkais. Vous êtes prêtes ? Prêts ? Alors partons à lʹaventure, à la recherche du roi singe, de  King Kong….le bateau pour Skull Island nous attend. Embarquement immédiat.

The girls, whose intense and consuming friendship had alarmed both of their families, killed Honora after learning she opposed their plan to stay together once Juliet's family moved to South Africa. Both girls were convicted and served about five years in prison before being released under new identities. Juliet Hulme went on to become a bestselling mystery novelist under the name Anne Perry. Pauline Parker became a recluse who ran a small riding school in England. Their story later inspired the 1994 Peter Jackson film Heavenly Creatures, starring Kate Winslet and Melanie Lynskey.Links & SourcesChristchurch City Libraries, Parker Hulme Heritage Digitised Collection, Page 23: https://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Heritage/Digitised/ParkerHulme/Page23.aspNZ History, Pauline Parker: https://nzhistory.govt.nz/people/pauline-parkerIMDb, Heavenly Creatures trivia: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110005/Murderpedia, Juliet Hulme trial reports: https://murderpedia.org/female.H/images/hulme-juliet/juliet-hulme-trial-reports.pdfChristchurch City Libraries, Parker Hulme Heritage Digitised Collection, Page 24: https://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Heritage/Digitised/ParkerHulme/Page24.aspChristchurch City Libraries, Parker Hulme Heritage Digitised Collection, Page 28: https://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Heritage/Digitised/ParkerHulme/Page28.aspChristchurch City Libraries, Parker Hulme Heritage Digitised Collection, Page 27: https://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Heritage/Digitised/ParkerHulme/Page27.aspNZ Herald, 'We were not lesbians,' says former Juliet Hulme: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/we-were-not-lesbians-says-former-juliet-hulme/V4WK54EI7YUVO6UMNKPOE7NRG4/Domus Aurea (archived), Hilary Nathan profile: https://web.archive.org/web/20060721114131/http://www.domusaurea.org/borovnia/hilary.htmlAnne Perry official site (archived): https://web.archive.org/web/20071019040936/http://www.anneperry.net/3.htmlArchives NZ via Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/archivesnz/14377739776/Archives NZ via Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/archivesnz/9096583535Archives NZ via Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/archivesnz/9721709104Find a Grave, Honorah Mary Parker: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/16907470/honorah-mary-parkerWeird True Crime is an independent true crime podcast.

Is it a good movie if you have to watch it ten times? That's the question Chris and Daniel keep circling back to as they take on Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, skipping the marketing noise and the wireframe-cyclops conspiracy theories to actually ask whether the thing works as a film. They dig into what Nolan is doing as a filmmaker, structurally and emotionally, in his adaptation of the oldest story in Western literature, and why a three hour runtime built around a decade-long wait might be the whole point rather than a flaw. The real conversation is about adaptation itself: what happens when a director spends the entire movie making an audience feel exactly what an intractable wait feels like, and why Nolan's obsession with time connects everything from Memento through Tenet to this one. Daniel makes the case that Nolan has finally figured out how to deliver Tenet's disorienting rewatch effect without forcing anyone to actually rewatch anything. Chris and Daniel also compare Nolan's spectacle-forward approach to what a Denis Villeneuve version might have looked like, and get into why single-vision directors are becoming Hollywood's new IP. Mentioned in this episode: The Odyssey (Christopher Nolan), Tenet, Dunkirk, Interstellar, Memento, Oppenheimer, Denis Villeneuve, Dune, Avatar, James Cameron, Peter Jackson, Annihilation (Alex Garland), Starship Troopers (Paul Verhoeven), Inglourious Basterds, Jackie Brown, Frank Gehry, Steven Spielberg, Disclosure Day, Zack Kreger, Ryan Coogler, Hoyte van Hoytema, Wally Pfister, David Lynch, Jack Fisk, Paris, Texas, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Master and Commander, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, Neuromancer (trailer) Special thanks to our sponsor: Center Grid Virtual Studio: https://cgvirtualstudio.com/

This week Duncan MacKenzie and Brian Andrews sit down with artist Sophia Chai at the Door County Contemporary Art Fair to discuss photography that insists on becoming something else. Working between painting, sculpture, installation, and large-format analog photography, Chai creates images that challenge our assumptions about perspective, representation, and the mechanics of seeing itself.  The conversation moves from camera obscuras and four-by-five view cameras to Plato's Allegory of the Cave, cave painting, Korean language, immigration, and the colonial language embedded within photographic practice. Chai reflects on transforming her graduate studio into a walk-in camera obscura after September 11th, collaborating with architectural space rather than simply depicting it, and asks whether photography might become a practice of witnessing rather than capturing.

We've got one more Must See Horror before we kickstart our Summer Slasher Series, so we're looking at Peter Jackson's Braindead/Dead Alive. Before he brought us the unforgettable fantasy epic of J.R.R Tolkien's Lord of the Ring's, Peter Jackson was getting up to some extremely gory weirdness with something that's a little Evil Dead, a little Monty Python and a little something we don't really understand. When a Sumatran Monkey-Rat bites his mother and zombifies her, Lionel Cosgrove has got to do something? Stop it from spreading? Keep her alive? Shag a Latina? Truth be told, it's a horror-comedy that you've got to just sit back and experience. But is Braindead/Dead Alive Must See Horror Remember to hit that subscribe button and leave us a lovely review.

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.

Nerd Culture #267 is ook te bekijken op https://youtu.be/fgEDe_eikVY In Nerd Culture #267 nemen Jelle en Koos je mee langs het laatste nieuws uit de wereld van films, series en popcultuur. Ze staan stil bij het overlijden van Sam Neill, bespreken wat ze de afgelopen week hebben gekeken en duiken vervolgens in een flinke stapel trailers en nieuwtjes. Van Tom Cruise’ opvallende transformatie in Digger en de eerste beelden van Avengers: Doomsday, The Batman: Part II en Dune: Part Three tot Peter Jacksons terugkeer, The Hunt for Gollum en de IMAX-comeback van Akira: er valt weer meer dan genoeg te bespreken. The Odyssey reviews scoren hoog The Odyssey blijkt nu al een van Christopher Nolans best ontvangen films. Op Rotten Tomatoes scoort het mythologische epos 96 procent bij de critici en zelfs 97 procent onder meer dan duizend geverifieerde bezoekers, met een gemiddelde waardering van 4,8 uit 5. Daarmee verbreekt de film Nolans eerdere publieksrecord van 94 procent, dat werd gedeeld door Memento, Batman Begins en The Dark Knight. Vooral de visuele grandeur, spectaculaire setpieces, duistere mythologische elementen en de vertolkingen van Matt Damon en Anne Hathaway worden geprezen. De voorafgaande kritiek op de casting, historische vrijheden en moderne dialogen lijkt het enthousiasme van bioscoopbezoekers dus nauwelijks te hebben getemperd. Digger is Tom Cruise z'n meest uitdagende rol Tom Cruise laat in Digger zijn vertrouwde actieheldenimago volledig achter zich. In de satirische rampenkomedie van regisseur Alejandro G. Iñárritu speelt hij de bejaarde en excentrieke oliemagnaat Digger Rockwell, die betrokken raakt bij een wereldwijde milieuramp. Dankzij zware prothesen, een kunstbuik en een opvallende fysieke vertolking is Cruise vrijwel onherkenbaar. De acteur noemt het zijn uitdagendste rol tot nu toe en belooft een volkomen originele film. Ook de rest van de cast mag er zijn, met onder anderen Riz Ahmed, Sandra Hüller, Jesse Plemons, John Goodman en Emma D’Arcy. Digger draait vanaf 2 oktober in de bioscoop.Wil je adverteren bij de podcast Nerd Culture óf misschien bij een andere podcast van ILVY Network?

This week on Geekstorians, we travel to Middle-earth, not as tourists, but as slightly suspicious historians with a map, a torch, and some concerns about licensing agreements.In 1998, Peter Jackson walked into New Line Cinema with a fantasy epic most of Hollywood considered impossible. What followed became one of cinema's great gambles: three films, shot back-to-back, built in New Zealand by artists, craftspeople, performers, technicians, and people who apparently did not believe sleep was legally required.But this episode is not just about how The Lord of the Rings became a miracle.It's about what happened after the miracle.Because once Middle-earth proved it could be enormous, prestigious, beloved, and wildly profitable, it stopped being only a story. It became territory. A machine. A place where skipped chapters, side roads, appendices, rights deals, and strange little corners of Tolkien's world could all become valuable.From Jackson's impossible pitch, to Weta's handmade craft, to Oscar glory, to The Hobbit, The Rings of Power, and the modern hunt for whatever Middle-earth still has left to give, this is the story of what happens when a beloved world becomes too successful to leave alone.This is Middle-Earth, Inc.For more geeky news, reviews, interviews, and air dates, head to Geektown.co.uk.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: January, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness gathers famous names who swear the paranormal found them, a Puerto Rican legend that ties dead Chupacabras to a crashed UFO, a Honduran town where fish fall from the sky, and a Wisconsin candy store with a listener's uneasy childhood dream folded in.It opens with celebrities who came away convinced. Carrie Fisher described lights and electronics switching on and off in her Beverly Hills home after her friend R. Gregory Stevens died there; Matthew McConaughey named the blue-dressed spirit he confronted in his house Madame Blu; and a young Keanu Reeves watched an empty jacket drift through a doorway in his New York apartment, the reality of it confirmed only by his nanny's face. Patrick Stewart saw a man in a beige coat vanish in the wings of the Theatre Royal Haymarket during Waiting for Godot, later matched to the ghost of 19th-century actor-manager Baldwin Buckstone, who died in 1879. Peter Jackson woke to a woman with a screaming face at the foot of his bed near London's St. James Theatre, a ghost his wife had seen two years earlier. Miley Cyrus fled a London flat over a boy she kept seeing on the bathroom sink; Ariana Grande photographed what she called textbook demon faces at Kansas's Stull Cemetery and found the file measured 666 megabytes; and David Bowie spent much of the 1970s certain a coven of witches wanted his semen, lighting black candles and hiring white magician Walli Elmlark to exorcise his swimming pool. John Lennon, by Uri Geller's account, described bug-like beings outside his apartment and an alien metal egg left in his hands, while Sammy Hagar claimed aliens plugged his sleeping brain into a machine and uploaded numerical code in 1967. Shorter accounts follow from Megan Mullally, Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Chloe Sevigny at the Lizzie Borden house, NASCAR's Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Lucy Hale, Laura Linney at Broadway's Belasco Theater, Claudia Schiffer, Emma Stone, Selena Gomez, Alyson Hannigan, Demi Lovato, Jenna Bush-Hager in the White House, and Megan Fox.From there the episode travels to Puerto Rico, where writer Nick Redfern chases the claim that the shuttered Roosevelt Roads Naval Station once held the bodies of dead Chupacabras the way Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is rumored to hold dead aliens. On visits between 2004 and 2015, Redfern and monster-hunter Jon Downes collect accounts of a 1957 UFO crash in the hills of Canovanas, sealed off by the military for roughly three weeks, and a second reported crash in the El Yunque rain forest in February 1984 — both said to have left dead Chupacabras in the wreckage, though the creature angle only attached itself to the older case after the Chupacabra panic began in 1995.Next comes Yoro, Honduras, and the Lluvia de Peces, the Rain of Fish that residents trace to Father Jose Manuel Subirana, a Spanish missionary who prayed three days and nights over the region's hunger in the 1850s or '60s. Once or twice a year after a heavy May or June storm, live sardine-like fish cover the streets of a town more than 100 miles from the ocean, and a National Geographic team in the 1970s found the stranded fish were completely blind, hypothesizing underground rivers forced above ground by flooding rather than the waterspouts others propose. The town of roughly 93,000 celebrates with a festival, a parade, and a Miss Fish Rain crowned to ride a float dressed as a mermaid, and locals refuse to sell the catch, sharing it instead as a blessing.The episode closes with Weirdo family member Laura, who worked summers at a haunted candy store in a Wisconsin tourist town, a converted house where a ceramic jar once flew across a room at a coworker. That coworker, a Canadian tribeswoman from a family with the 'sight,' listened to Laura describe a dream that returned every Christmas Eve until she was six or seven — a black, pulsing void of indistinct voices that rose to screams and a pressure closing on her chest, replaced in its final occurrence by an overhead view of a storage yard before it stopped for good. When Laura finished, the coworker told her it was a good thing she never listened to the voices, and suggested Laura had unconsciously sealed off her own ability to sense the spiritual after something that was not benevolent kept trying to reach her.

Now there is a film title for that ass! Our Uncle Michael has contributed to the show once again with another film he sent us. I had heard of this but never seen one second of it. I expected something along the lines of the old Peter Jackson movies and I, kinda got that? It's a wild ride for sure. Get it? Wild Ride...Motorcycles? I'll go.

Before we watch Brain Dead (1990), we're putting our horror credentials on the line and trying to GUESS THE ENDING. This isn't Peter Jackson's Braindead (aka Dead Alive). This is the weird psychological horror sci-fi thriller starring Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton that somehow flew under the radar for decades. The film follows a neurosurgeon who becomes entangled in a corporate conspiracy involving brain surgery, paranoia, and a rapidly unraveling sense of reality.In this episode of Gutted Horror Podcast, Tony and Aleece break down the plot, characters, trailer, poster art, and all the clues we can find to predict exactly how Brain Dead ends before we've ever seen the movie.Will we nail the twist? Will we embarrass ourselves? Will Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton secretly be the same person?Watch along and see how close we get.

Flutter CEO Peter Jackson goes Inside the ICE House to discuss the massive global opportunity around the World Cup and its impact on sports betting.

Jackson explains how Flutter is leveraging its global brands, technology infrastructure, and innovative features to enhance fan engagement.

One of the most clever ways moviemakers make new movies is to take a movie they love and invert it-do the opposite of key aspects of the movie and problem solve how to make that work. Peter Jackson famously took George Romero's zombie classic Night of the Living Dead where zombies are outside trying to get into a house and made Dead Alive where zombies are inside a house and the hero is trying to keep them from getting out. The first three Indiana Jones movies are all clever inversions of classics like Casablanca, Gunga Din, and From Russia with Love. And Casablanca gets another crazy inversion in the form of the 1946 classic Gilda starring Rita Hayworth. Secret Movie Club founder Craig Hammill dives into this fascinating way of flipping a movie on its head to make a totally new movie. 

Description:Week three of our alien invasion franchise. Luke, Chris, and Peter take on the most politically charged film in the series. District 9 flips the alien invasion on its head. The aliens have been here for 20 years and humanity's response isn't wonder, isn't spectacle, it's a refugee camp, barbed wire, and forced relocations. Neill Blomkamp grew up during apartheid in South Africa and made a $30 million sci-fi film that holds a mirror to everything from immigration policy to corporate exploitation to what happens when the "other" has nowhere left to go. Peter Jackson gave a first-time director full creative control after their Halo movie collapsed. The lead actor had never acted before. Every alien in the film is played by one guy. And the whole thing was nominated for Best Picture. From Close Encounters' obsession to Independence Day's spectacle to District 9's refuge, the alien invasion franchise gets real.Live at 8:15pm CT.

(1:22:56), trying his hand at stand-alone Star Wars Tomato Talk (1:25:30) and providing a Hidden Gem recommendation (1:28:31) before we lovingly sign off until next time.  Episode highlights include discussions about what we want out of a biopic, the appropriate way to watch horror if you don't like horror, Star Wars talk, the Cosm experience, our continued love for Brosnan's James Bond, the surprising amount of episodes of The Pitt, the problem with the Jack Ryan of today, how Andy Weir's thoughts about modern Star Trek mirror our own, the stupidity of circumstances surrounding the Egyptian theater in Hollywood, and our hopes for future Spielberg flicks.  All that, plus Kelly - on the record - calling Peter Jackson a bitch!  Our best wishes to Lord of the Rings super fan and talented funny-man, Stephen Colbert, and shout-out to long time listener and friend of the podcast, Chance, for his shocking television recommendation - Widow's Bay.

We are concluding our season on fantasy movies with a major Peter Jackson fantasy movie.  Instead of focusing on the original Lord of the Rings trilogy, we decided to watch the first part of the Hobbit trilogy with THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY.  Please send any and all feedback to anotherlookpod@gmail.com.  Please follow us on Instagram @anotherlookpod, and rate/review/subscribe where ever you get your podcasts!   Our next season will be a selection of movies from all of our own personal watchlists!

Cameron, Jesse, Derek and Emily are all back together for a packed episode. In RELEVANT Recommends, we highlight Indie Tribe's new album, Who Do You Say I Am? and caught up with the guys at SXSW to talk about the making of the project and what it says about who they are as a group.In RELEVANT Buzz: Alabama's basketball team has been quietly building a faith culture all season that's worth knowing about. Then, as Stephen Colbert is wrapping up the Late Show, his next move is pretty unexpected: writing a Lord of the Rings movie with Peter Jackson. And then we highlight an unexpected connection between SNL's newest cast member and Orlando-based Christian rapper Caleb Gordon. For real.Plus we cover NCAA tournament drama, late night legends ranked, and the high school celebrity alumni rabbit hole (yes, DJ Khaled, Joey Fatone and Wayne Brady went to school together). In Slices: googly eyes are scientifically proven to deter seagulls (and lions), and the world record Big Mac guy has opinions on the Big Arch. And at the end of the show it's One Has to Go: pop icons, board games, classic Comedy Central, sneaker culture and more.
