Before Yellowjackets introduced her to a new flock of fans, longtime admirers Leonard and Jessie sat down with Melanie Lynskey in 2017 to talk about her enduring career, which was jump-started when director Peter Jackson cast her and an equally unknown Kate Winslet in his exceptional film Heavenly Creatures. Seen by millions of viewers on the network comedy Two and a Half Men, she has never forsaken her indie roots, and we discussed her latest Sundance sleeper I Don't Feel at Home In This World Anymore. And yes, Melanie is as nice as she is talented.

A few episodes ago we asked whether DC Studios was on fire... Well, Warner Bros Discovery has clapped back at us it seems.Not only did we get a ton of more information on the upcoming DC projects, but we also had massive news with more Lord of the Rings content in the works and, the possibility of a certain Peter Jackson returning to the Directors chair.What may be even bigger than both those things was the release of Hogwarts Legacy. The sales numbers were staggering causing Warner Bros to say there will be more Wizarding World content in the future as well.Sorry We're still reeling from how hard Warner bros smacked us with all of this new content. All that and more in this weeks episode.

Highlander II, Spider-Man 3, Son of the Mask. That's a bunch of terrible sequels right there. Exactly! But what if someone could go back and assign any cast, crew and plot to fix all the bad sequels? You mean like a Transformers film that feels like the cartoon? Or a Star Wars sequel that doesn't have the Emperor come back? Or a massive 2 part Mortal Kombat saga directed by Peter Jackson? Oh, what about a Goosebumps/Hellraiser crossover? Erm...maybe not that. Fair.  Yeah, it's a shame that isn't a podcast... Sequelisers. bad sequels, sorted.

Hollis Stacy, winner of 18 LPGA titles, four majors and a World Golf Hall of Fame member, recounts her final two major championship wins, the 1983 Peter Jackson Classic (now the du Maurier) and her third Women's U.S. Open in 1984 at Salem CC. Hollis looks back on her last few Tour wins and making the decision to retire from the competitive game. She shares her thoughts on what changes in the game have been most significant since turning pro in 1974 and distinctly remembers her "Call to the Hall" from Mike Whan and her induction into the WGHOF in 2012. Hollis Stacy concludes her life story, "FORE the Good of the Game."Follow our show and/or leave a review/rating on: Our Website https://www.forethegoodofthegame.com/reviews/new/ Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fore-the-good-of-the-game/id1562581853 Spotify Podcasts https://open.spotify.com/show/0XSuVGjwQg6bm78COkIhZO?si=b4c9d47ea8b24b2d Google Podcasts https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xNzM3Mjc1LnJzcw About "FORE the Good of the Game” is a golf podcast featuring interviews with World Golf Hall of Fame members, winners of major championships and other people of influence in and around the game of golf.

Amazingly, The Frighteners (1996) once held the title of most cutting-edge special effects. Primarily a slapstick comedy set to a Danny Elfman soundtrack, watching it today leaves a lot to be desired. Discussion points include: the most WTF moments of the movie, Michael J Fox's career, Peter Jackson's special effects company Weta FX history.

As soon as this episode was announced & I began researching it, there was a massive amount of interest from listeners to hear what turned out to be an absolutely hilarious yet still very insightful conversation with author Adrian McKinty. So in that spirit, & because I've recorded a pretty healthy backlog of episodes for the new season so far, I thought I'd upload it early for all of you as a bonus surprise release.This week, I was so pleased to welcome to the podcast one of my crime writer friends' favorite crime writers & a man whose taste in film, literature, & poetry is an endless source of delight on Twitter. Adrian McKinty was born & raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and then studied philosophy at Oxford University before he moved to Australia & New York. He is the author of more than a dozen crime novels, including his Dagger & Edgar nominated debut DEAD I WELL MAY BE, the critically acclaimed Sean Duffy series, as well as the smash international bestseller & award-winning standalone thriller THE CHAIN. A man whose books have been translated into over thirty languages, Adrian has won the Edgar Award, the International Thriller Writers Award, the Ned Kelly Award (three times), the Anthony Award, the Barry Award, the Macavity Award, the Theakston Old Peculiar Crime Novel of the Year Award. His latest bestseller THE ISLAND is set to be a Hulu original series & will be hitting paperback soon as well, & he shares more book news in this episode.In this very lively 87-minute discussion, I join Adrian to embark on a quest & return with elixir, while learning more about a genre about which I am far from an expert! Dissecting two popular fantasy films that he's passionate about as both a writer & cinephile - John Boorman's divisive yet beloved 1981 Arthurian epic EXCALIBUR & Peter Jackson's smash blockbuster adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RINGS - fans of storytelling, film, & McKinty's work are sure to adore this amusing installment. A nice break from traditional deep dives into the careers of filmmakers & actors, I hope this conversation makes you laugh as hard as I did throughout the recording.Originally Posted on Patreon (3/8/23) here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/79754710Logo: KateGabrielle.comTheme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive

We had a lot of investor news this week, between WB's earnings call, the Sony State of Play, and a Pokémon Presents. EA wants to beef up production on Battlefield, while Ubisoft seems to be less and less interested in beyond good and evil 2 with each passing day. HBO Max loses one prequel and gains another. The Mando is back, and the Lord of the Rings may be as well. That and more come take a listen.

To prepare for this podcast, I have read the Hobbit more than 30 times (once every year), I have read the Lord of the Rings twice cover to cover, and the Silmarillion at least twice. I listened to the 13-hour BBC Radio adaptation and watched the Peter Jackson films, theatrical and extended, and all the DVD bonus extras. I also watched the ‘70s animated version and a couple of documentaries on the life of Tolkien, a People's Profile one on Youtube and a television documentary from 1996 narrated by Judi Dench... and of course, I lived as a child in Worcestershire, the inspiration for ‘the Shire' and the real life location of Bag-End in Dormston, which was a farm belonging to Tolkein's aunt where he stayed in 1923. It is about 15 minutes from Stratford-Upon-Avon, where Shakespeare was born. All that, just for this podcast episode. I hope you enjoy it.

World Golf Hall of Fame member Judy Rankin looks back on her life on tour (starting at age 17) and her 28 professional wins beginning with her first at the 1968 Corpus Christi Civitan Open. Judy had two tremendous years in succession in 1977 and 1978  when she was the LPGA Player of the Year, the leading money winner and the Vare Trophy winner, amassing 11 victories and a team win with JoAnne Carner. She won two events which later became majors, the 1976 Colgate-Dinah Shore and the 1977 Peter Jackson. Judy recalls her joy in playing at Sunningdale in the 1977 Colgate European Women's Open, which she also won. As physical ailments began taking a toll, opportunities in broadcasting began to emerge as Judy was destined to excel in a related arena.

Giles Martin may be the son of famed Beatles record producer Sir George Martin, but he's also an acclaimed producer and composer in his own right. He's worked on projects with The Rolling Stones, Elton John and Metallica, and is celebrated for his work remastering albums from The Beatles, including Sgt. Pepper's, Abbey Road, and The White Album. Last October Giles' remaster for Revolver was released along with never-before-heard home demos and outtakes from The Beatles. Giles was able to separate the original 1966 mono recording tracks with the help of director Peter Jackson's audio team, who used AI technology. Giles' resulting mix allows listeners to hear the original recordings with clarity and precision like never before. On today's episode Rick Rubin talks to Giles Martin about his approach to remastering the Beatles and the responsibility that comes along with it. Giles also talks about growing up in the music industry, why he didn't have a stereo in his house as a young boy, and how he became his dad's ears in studio sessions after his father lost his hearing. You can hear a playlist of some of our favorite Beatles songs remastered by Giles Martin HERE.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As much as we'd all love to take shortcuts to complete a project, there simply are none. Sure, you can stand on the giants of those who came before you, but that still requires work. And for my money's worth, many artists hurt themselves by thinking there is an exact way to do something. Yes, there are best practices but in the end, whatever gets the job done is the right path. Don't believe me? I cite examples from Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings to illustrate my points. I also explore this notion in the context of faith. Not a religious faith, but in venturing into the unknown and why honing your intuition is key.

They reserve their thoughts about the trilogy as a whole for the next episode, and focus on the remaining half of 'Battle of the Five Armies.'

Clear the table and sort the bricks, we have LEGO! Enjoy Stuff looks at the history of our favorite building set for years! From the early days when the founding family first measured out the dimensions of the connecting parts to the wide variety of franchised sets we can get at LEGO stores around the world. And we test our knowledge of when their most memorable ideas debuted.    L'eggo my LEGO! It's a history of the famous building blocks on Enjoy Stuff. It's founder, Ole Christiansen, founding the company way back in 1932, probably never predicted how widespread his ideas would become. Come with us in the Wayback machine as we say “Bricks for the memories”   News Indiana Jones Toys have been revealed for the upcoming Dial of Destiny movie Ted Lasso gets a season 3 premiere Looks like TRON 3 may be a go  Singer David Crosby passes little over a week ago  Cobra Kai will end after 6 Seasons Valentine's Day-Inspired Pop-Tarts Bites will return this year Oscar Noms have been announced, Short Round and Data are both nominated for Everything, Everywhere, All At Once!   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Jay has been getting very Retro (Retro-squared?) by revisiting some Bob Hope movies from way back in 1941. Caught in the Draft and Nothing but the Truth were some fun films that remind you about a time gone by and how the past can be entertaining. Shua really committed himself when he decided to binge all of the extended versions of Peter Jackson's six-movie-spanning Tolkien stories. Love ‘em or leave ‘em, it can be fun to immerse yourself in Middle Earth and remember what the message of all the films relay.    Sci-Fi Saturdays/MCU Location Scout The Matrix was a ground-breaking movie in so many ways. This week Jay looks at the story, effects, and influence of Keanu Reeve's classic Alice in Digital-Wonderland story. Check it out on Sci-Fi Saturdays on Retrozap.com. Plus, now that SFS has reached 1999 it's time to remember the hype, politics, and complexity of Star Wars-Episode I, The Phantom Menace, coming this Saturday.    Enjoy Toys! One of the most wide-spread successes of toys has got to be LEGO. But it didn't start out like that. This week we look back to the humble beginnings when Ole Kirk Christiansen took his bankrupt carpentry business and made it into something that would change the industry.   It wasn't an instant success though. There were many hardships, failed ideas, and more factory fires than most people could come back from. Luckily, his son Godtfred (like his father) was a persistent and determined creator. Once he was inspired by a set of building blocks he saw at a convention, they bought a plastic injection molding machine and the rest is history.    Through some very clever innovations with the designs, LEGO began to see some success and spread across the globe. By the 1950s their basic sets were found in many toy boxes across the United States.    The long history of the company lends itself well to our game “Just in the Brick of Time”. Jay will try to identify the decade some of the LEGO milestones took place. You can play along too! Did you play with LEGO? What sets of the building system do you admire? Did you read all of these shownotes? First person that emails me with the subject line, “I'm a LEGO maniac” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to EnjoyStuff@RetroZap.com

This week's Episode is a conversation I had with Oscar and BAFTA nominee, Heike Merker about her work as makeup and hair department head on the Netflix film ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT which is getting a tremendous amount of attention this awards season. Finding herself quite literally on the Front Lines of this project, we talk about her challenges, the physical demands and how she discovered the ability to paint artistically using mud, dirt, pigments and even macha (!) to create stunning, painterly looks that convey the duality of war and the inner life of the film's protagonist. This was a tremendously hard film to make. Listen to Heike talk (hilariously) about getting so stuck in the mud that she literally couldn't move one inch. And how she found inspiration on set and in the moment for the film's signature macha mask look. Tune in!

It appears Matt's ahem bad taste in movies has been bitten by a Sumerian rat monkey and subsequently resurrected as good taste with his pick of DEAD ALIVE (1992)! This redemption arc is very much thanks to the 30-year anniversary of Peter Jackson's landmark splatter opus, and boy does this one get better with age.

We put author, actor, and E Streeter Stevie Van Zandt on the couch on the eve of Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band's 2023 world tour. As we learned from Stevie's excellent 2021 memoir, Unrequited Infatuations, despite appearing to having lived the most charmed life imaginable, he spent decades being haunted by his early Eighties decision to leave the band of longtime best friend Springsteen on the eve of the “Born In The USA” album. Host and guest explore the meaning of failure and success. It gets a little raw. Plus: Steve on why he didn't care for Peter Jackson's Let It Be, and the recipe for keeping bands together. And: Andrew nominates Paul Simon for a dubious Rock & Roll Hall of Fame award for a lifetime of questionable behavior.

Another Monday of New Year, New Zealand is upon us here on Slashers Podcast! Today's episode is yet another film by Peter Jackson, Meet the Feebles from 1989. This is another film from what Doug likes to call Peter Jackson's "Trilogy of Trash," or his second feature length film (the first being Bad Taste and the last being Dead Alive). The film follows a cast entirely made of puppets who experience the sleazier side of show business while working on a variety show. This is basically parodying The Muppet Show, except there is blood, guts, bodily fluids, flashbacks of Nam and an M60 massacre to tie it altogether. As absurd and raunchy as this flick is, find out why it's one of Doug's favorites! Let us know your thoughts on this one (currently streaming on Tubi).

Originally from Kansas City, Kansas, Dee Wallace has worked as an author, teacher, dancer, and actress in film, television, and stage for over 40 years. Her career began in New York, where she studied with famous acting legend Uta Hagen before moving to Los Angeles, where she found her mentor, Charles Conrad. Dee is a true tour de force in the industry, working with countless producers and directors and some of Hollywood's biggest names, including Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson, Wes Craven, Joe Dante, Lewis Teague, Stephen King, Blake Edwards, and Rob Zombie. Her many film credits include “The Hills Have Eyes,” “The Howling,” “Cujo,” “Secret Admirer,” “The Frighteners,” “10” and of course, her role as Mary in Steven Spielberg's “E.T., The Extraterrestrial.” With over 280 TV movie and film credits on her resume, Dee Wallace is quite possibly the most active woman in entertainment. Dee's important message to the world is: Love yourself beyond anyone or anything else. Love yourself so much that you can't do anything that doesn't make you love yourself more. She began her channeled healing work over twenty years ago when she dropped to her knees after her husband's sudden death and asked for a way we could “heal ourselves.” Seconds later, she received her first message: use the light within you to heal yourself. She has passionately been teaching the art of self-creation ever since. Dee is a strong advocate for accepting (at an early age) our own magnificence and power in a positive, loving way. Her most recent book, “Born,” expands the concepts of Law of Attraction exponentially and simplifies everything you think you know about the power of Self-Creation. “Born” is a powerful book about how Spirituality, Brain Science, and Religion teach the same principles and how you can easily use them to create your life. She offers monthly webinars on a variety of creation subjects. Dee also conducts private sessions from her home in Woodland Hills, California via phone and in person. As a much sought after speaker, Dee has spoken at numerous national and international venues, appeared on every major news and talk show, and been featured on E! True Hollywood Stories and Oprah. JONES.SHOW is a weekly podcast featuring host Randall Kenneth Jones (author, speaker & creative communications consultant) and Susan C. Bennett (the original voice of Siri).

In 2001, director Peter Jackson brought to the big screen the world that J.R.R. Tolkien created in his books of The Hobbit & Lord of The Rings. It was a movie with tremendous scenery, great ensemble cast and unbelievable effects to bring to life one of the greatest stories ever written. An epic adventure of 2 hobbits taking on the task of returning the ring of power to where it was created so they could destroy it before the dark lord Sauron could come back to power. Fights, wars, adventure with just enough touch of everyday humor take us through the journey as we watch the first volume of The Lord of The Rings. The episode runs long today but I don't think I could ever get any movie of The Lord of The Rings in under an hour with there being so much to talk about. :) Please, if you listen to the show and have not yet done so, leave me a rating and a review on Spotify and/or iTunes.

“The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” is a fitting final volume to Tolkien's masterpiece. Published in 1955, and despite the massive spoiler in the title, this book manages to squeeze in as much story as possible. In fact, those who have only watched Peter Jackson's film version will be surprised to learn they've only been told half the tale. Tolkien leaves no tangent untied in his culminating War of the Ring and neither will Blake and Seamus as they finishing ringing in the new year. Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include: "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” by J.R.R.

Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Goons! Today's Monday and that means a brand new episode from your favorite horror podcast. On this episode of our New Year, New Zealand theme, Mikey and Ade are joined by special guest, Austin, to talk about 1992's Dead Alive, written and directed by none other than Peter Jackson. You may already know Peter Jackson from Bad Taste, Meet the Feebles, and a little movie about a hobbit getting lost called Lord of the Rings. He's also responsible for the 2005 remake of King Kong. The only reason I mention Kong is that there are clear references to Skull Island at the beginning of Dead Alive, so we can clearly see that Jackson is inspired by the classic Universal monster when creating this film. Dead Alive, aka Brain Dead in New Zealand and other parts of the world, follows our hero Lionel as his overbearing mother and notorious cock blocker, Vera, is bitten and infected by a Sumatran Rat Monkey. Hijinks ensue, and the horror community is blessed with one of THE most gory, goopy, gross, bloody, disgusting horror comedies ever to crawl out of the 90s. If you have not seen this film, please watch before listening, as there are a ton of spoilers, and we need you to make an informed opinion on this classic (as one of your hosts is not too keen on it. It's okay to be wrong, I guess). If you watch this episode on YouTube, you'll notice our backgrounds are Jason Voorhees related because we recorded this episode on Friday the 13th! Hope you all made the best of the holiday weekend! Feel free to let us know your favorite and least favorite of the franchise, and check out our very own co host, Jason's, comedic and poignant rating list on all the Friday 13th's posted in Instagram and Facebook!

Cate Blanchett is arguably the most celebrated Australian actor ever, winning two Academy Awards, three BAFTAs, three Golden Globes and dozens of other honours around the world. She grew up in Melbourne, and although she enjoyed music and drama at school, she initially had no plans to pursue a career as an actor. She started a degree course in economics and fine art, but dropped out after a year, and later won a place at the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney. She found international fame before she was 30, playing Elizabeth I in the highly-acclaimed film Elizabeth, winning an Oscar nomination and a BAFTA. Since then, she has appeared in more than 70 films and 20 stage productions. She won an Oscar and a BAFTA for playing Katharine Hepburn in The Aviator, directed by Martin Scorsese, and other notable roles include the elf leader Galadriel in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings series and a version of Bob Dylan in I'm Not There. She won her second Oscar in 2014 for her performance in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine. Her TV work includes the acclaimed series Mrs America, where she played the conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly, and she has recently taken on the role of an internationally famous composer and conductor in the film Tár, written and directed by Todd Field. Cate has received the Australian Centenary medal and is a Companion of the Order of Australia. She is married to the director and playwright Andrew Upton.

In a pod, in the cloud, the Shuffle Bois and special guest BillBurr Baggins leave the POW camp of life and talk about a hopeful, optimistic, escapist fantasy, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. The first entry in Peter Jackson's masterpiece trilogy, so many things make it great: its fundamentally sincere and positive message, the spectacular worldbuilding and execution of Peter Jackson's vision, and its perfect pacing (despite its extended runtime). We also trace the behind-the-scenes making of the film, muse on what the movie would look and sound like if other directors had made it, and discuss the film's long-lasting impact on culture, whether that be through memes, the attempted cash cow that was the Hobbit trilogy, or the absolute trainwreck debacle that was Amazon's “The Rings of Power.” 00:00 Intro 04:16 Actual Topic Intro 16:00 Plot Walkthrough 34:00 Themes of LoTR 41:13 How did the movie get made? 1:02:00 Echoes in the culture 1:09:50 It's reception in 2000s Culture
