Podcast appearances and mentions of Peter Jackson

We always nerd out, but in this episode we're joined in our geek sesh by the incredibly charming, brilliant and funny Lindy West (she/her) and Meagan Hatcher-Mays (she/her) to discuss (drumroll!) The Lord of the Rings trilogy. As you may already know, Hannah and Marcelle share a love of JRR Tolkien's world and in this episode they finally get to discuss Peter Jackson's adaptation from the early aughts.The episode begins with an overview of the books' popularity in the middle of the 20th century and their lasting impact on fantasy and science fiction literature, television and film. Hannah then offers some context for the release of The Fellowship of the Ring. Together, we consider the desire by the public to escape in a post 9/11 world and the fantasy of a pastoral utopia! Hannah then offers some theory! We're talking Arcadia people!This episode is a perfect listen for fans of The Lord of the Rings, as well as anyone who has ever fantasized about knitting in a cottage away from the hustle and bustle of industrialized cities!Works CitedFrey, Angelica. “Cottagecore Debuted 2,300 Years Ago.” JSTOR Daily 11 November 2020. https://daily.jstor.org/cottagecore-debuted-2300-years-ago/.

The Fellowgroup met to discuss their upcoming journey to Mordor. Gandalf brought out The Fellowship of the Ring on DVD, complete with a hand-written note from Peter Jackson to one of the film's actors, and the troupe decided to explain away the synopsis as an alternate path that their journey could take. As they made their final preparations, Adam made an enemy of Glorfindel, Guy was disappointed to find Arwen only to learn she was looking for Tyler, and Arwen gave Tyler his sword, reforged, as a parting gift. They finally departed from Rivendell, but will everyone in the Fellowgroup make it through the Mines of Moria alive?Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Tom McGee.Jesters of Middle-earth streams live every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dumbdumbdice)Enjoying Jesters of Middle-earth? - Consider supporting the show for as little as $1 a month to get BTS fun, an ad-free feed, and even add your own character to the podcast!

Its a familiar story for anyone who is fan of horror cinema: the story of a young director, with no film experience, no money, and no industry know-how, who wrangles up some friends, a camera, and some borrowed money from his community, and goes out and makes a cult classic film that catapults them to a successful career in the larger film world. But for every Sam Raimi, Peter Jackson or Tobe Hooper, there are the directors who went out and made a movie, but it ultimately led them no where. Well, sometimes those movies have a life that these filmmakers never could have imagined. In this episode, we explore the 1962 cult classic film Carnival of Souls, a gorgeously shot and eerie masterpiece, and the bright eyed director who had only previously made educational films. This movie went on to inspire everything from Night of the Living Dead, Eraserhead, and so much more, but not without first experiencing an unforseen rise to cult classic status.      If you want to get in touch with us, you can email the show at yearsoffearpodcast@gmail.com, or on Instagram at @Yearsoffear

How do you make your way in business in Manchester as a Scouser?There are many people making big contributions to Greater Manchester who don't quite fit the born, bred or adopted Manc label. And We Built This City is celebrating some of those people with ‘Drawn Here Not Born Here'. Peter Jackson is the former CEO and Managing Partner of the Law firm Hill Dickinson. Back in the late 90s, he came from Liverpool to head up the firm's Manchester Office. In this conversation with Lisa, he reflects on the welcome he got from the city administration at the time and the things he learned by paying attention to how the city sees itself. You'll hear what anyone coming to do business in Manchester or Liverpool should understand to get it right. After a 40-year career, Peter learnt many lessons about setting up in a new city, connecting with people, and becoming part of the local community. And after stepping down as CEO in 2024, Peter now uses his experience to support the firm's ongoing growth and stability. Together, they explore the little quirks of city identity, the differences that have made the fabric of Manchester and how they shape the way people work, lead, and build relationships across the North West.------Your host, Lisa Morton, started PR company Roland Dransfield in 1996, one month after the fateful IRA bomb that tore apart the city centre. From that point, the business, and its team members, have been involved in helping to support the creation of Modern Manchester – across regeneration, business, charity, leisure and hospitality, sport and culture.To celebrate the 28 years that Roland Dransfield has spent creating these bonds, Lisa is gathering together some of her Greater Mancunian ‘family' and will be exploring how they have created their own purposeful relationships with the best place in the world.Connect with Erinma Via her websiteVia LinkedInConnect with Lisa and Roland Dransfield: Via our websiteOn InstagramOn X FKA TwitterOn this episode, We Built This City has partnered with Manchester Metropolitan University.

A gore-spattered double feature for the ages! We've just decided to let loose this week and tick off surely two of the greatest cult horror films in history. Andy Hunt drops by to check out Evil Dead 2 (1987), directed by Sam Raimi, and follow it up with one of the ultimate hold-my-beer moments, Peter Jackson's Braindead (a.k.a. Dead Alive) (1992). It's not really possible to spoil these films and one would hope the average Caliber 9 From Outer Space listener will have seen both of these films multiple times by now, so we won't be calling out Spoiler Territory for either film this week.

Series premiere! This week we leave The Shire behind to embark on our journey through Middle Earth and the epic fantasy genre!In the spirit of Lord of the Rings, we've divided our miniseries into three parts, and we're starting today with Part 1: The Road to Mordor. And that road begins with, you guessed it, Ray Harryhausen!Peter Jackson's trilogy would not exist without the sword-and-sandals stop-motion action of Harryhausen – so as we voyage towards Mordor, we must first trek the scorching sands of Ancient Greece, where harpies fly, gigantic statues terrorize, and gods try to kill us out of boredom! Oh, and spooky skeletons.Next week, we spend some time with a different type kind of Hobbit in Rankin and Bass's animated THE HOBBIT.

We zijn naar De Noordpool gereisd om Peter Jacksons legendarische splatterfestijn Braindead te bespreken. Anthony ontdekte echter pas bij de landing dat we effectief op de Noordpool stonden. Daardoor konden we hem onmogelijk nog een Arctische horrorfilm aansmeren. Turbosnor en Jordi hadden zich voorbereid en keken naar de film Arctic Void. Die speelt zich letterlijk af op de plek waar we stonden: het glorieuze, ijskoude Spitsbergen.

Back to it with a dandy. Y'know how so many things just simply suck? Welp, luckily, Josh is able to capture some of them for a can't miss listening experience. This experience includes observations of Waldorf people, music from the 1800s, shitty current rap, fiercely independent toddlers, homeless celebs, monetizing podcasts, teen fashion, and the temporary existence of humans. Deep? Yep, probably too deep. So now you can get balls deep into this episode! Not those balls silly, volleyballs! Bump, set, and spike your way into this new podcast...okay enough.

Peter Jackson's follow up to his Lord of the Rings triumph was his most personal project, a remake of his favorite film. King Kong was an enormously expensive, massively hyped monster movie that performed well but has a mixed legacy twenty years later. Should it have been better? Guest Peter Baldeo returns to talk Kong.___Please consider joining our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wwibofficialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whywasntitbetterInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/wwib_officialTwitter: https://x.com/WWIBpodcastLetterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/wwibpodcastSubscribe!

The Beatles produced five films during their time together: A Hard Day's Night, Help!, Magical Mystery Tour, Yellow Submarine, and Let It Be. Some were cinematic successes, and some were not, but―along with subsequent reissues, bonus material, and Peter Jackson's The Beatles: Get Back, a documentary companion to Let It Be―they comprise an endlessly fascinating document of key phases in the group's career.In this comprehensive deep-dive into the band's movies, author and longtime music journalist Steve Matteo follows the origins, filming, and often frenzied fan reception of projects from the 1964 premiere of A Hard Day's Night through 1970's Let It Be to the release of Get Back in 2022. Matteo explores the production process, original theatrical film releases, subsequent VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray releases, and bonus materials, along with the US and UK soundtracks. In addition to copious anecdotes and behind-the-scenes details, he also places these films in their larger context, a period of unprecedented artistic and commercial innovation in British and world cinema. Filled with stories and insights that will satisfy collectors, buffs, and casual fans alike, this is the definitive account of an underappreciated part of the Beatles' creative output. "Reading is Funktamental" is a monthly one-hour show about great books written about music and music-makers. In each episode, host Sal Cataldi speaks to the authors of some of the best reads about rock, jazz, punk, world, experimental music, and much more. Occasionally, the host is joined by notable musicians who have written about their careers. Recent guests have included eccentric British singer-songwriter Robyn Hitchcock, Roxy Music's Phil Manzanera, Traffic co-founder Dave Mason, and Moon Zappa. Expect a great conversation and a playlist of great music to go with it.Sal Cataldi is a musician and writer based in Saugerties. He is best known for his work with his genre-leaping solo project, Spaghetti Eastern Music, and is also a member of the ambient guitar duo, Guitars A Go Go, the poetry and music duo, Vapor Vespers, the jazz ensemble Hari Karaoke Trio of Doom and the quartet, Spaceheater. His writing on music, books and film has been featured in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, PopMatters, Seattle Times, Huffington Post, Inside+Out Upstate NY, and NYSMusic.com, where he is the book reviewer.

Peter Jackson convinced Hollywood to fund three epic films at once, then filmed them back-to-back in New Zealand. Madness, and it changed cinema. John, Westy, and Matt journey to Middle-earth to explore how a low-budget horror director made the impossible: a fantasy epic that satisfied Tolkien purists and mainstream audiences. From the epic production, through groundbreaking innovations to an actor's fear of flying (hence all that walking), we're telling the story behind the film that launched a thousand memes, with some big opinions and laughs as we go.

Dee Wallace has been starring in scary movies for the last 5 decades, solidifying her status as a true horror legend. Tune in to hear all about making some of her most popular genre hits like “The Hills Have Eyes,” “The Howling,” “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,” “Cujo,” “Critters,” and “The Frighteners,” what it was like working with directors Wes Craven, Steven Spielberg, and Peter Jackson, and she even teases her multiple upcoming horror films.

99 Cent Rental returns after our October break with a listener request. Since we just did Don Coscarelli's 1979 debut, Phantasm, a movie made on tiny, sub-500k budget, we thought it made a lot of sense to see what happens when you break through and Hollywood heaps cash on you to make a proper movie. The result is... very Coscarelli-ish. There's no question whatsoever that Don is well-read on matters of fantasy and science fiction and these being the days before Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies mandated that all fantasy features be epic, high-fantasy blow-outs, Coscarelli reaches back into the pool of gritty sword and sorcery for something as characteristically weird as you'd expect from authors like Poul Anderson, Fritz Lieber, and Robert E. Howard. Is it good, though? Well...The story concerns the hunky, flaxen-haired Dar, the last of his people, who sets out across a dusty landscape seeking vengeance on Maax, the head of a wicked cult in the city of Aruk who will be killed by the son of King Zed. By some unexplainable power, Dar can speak to animals and forms a party of two ferrets, a tiger, and a hawk to have his revenge. Starring Marc Singer, Tanya Roberts, and Rip Torn, The Beastmaster lands heavily in the middle of the 1982 surge of fantasy movies that brought us Conan The Barbarian and managed to carve out a sweet cult of fans in spite of its tepid box office performance.Join the Bring Me The Axe Discord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/snkxuxzJ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support Bring Me The Axe! on Patreon:⁠https://patreon.com/bringmetheaxepod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Bring Me The Axe merch here:⁠https://www.bonfire.com/store/bring-me-the-axe-podcast/⁠⁠

This week on Forgotten Horror 7, the Mikes dive headfirst into one of the goriest, goofiest horror comedies ever made; "Dead Alive" (1992), also known as "Braindead".Both Mike Butler and Mike Field absolutely love this film. It's zany, it's silly, and it's drenched in more blood and guts than you could possibly imagine. Like a deranged "Looney Tunes" short turned up to eleven, "Dead Alive" is a splatter-filled masterpiece that somehow balances absurdity with genuine craftsmanship.The Mikes talk about how Peter Jackson (yes, that Peter Jackson) managed to create a film that's as revolting as it is riotously fun. From lawnmower massacres to undead romance, this is the kind of movie that reminds you just how creative, shocking, and downright weird early 90s horror could be.So grab your mop and your stomach...this one's going to get messy.What's your favorite horror comedy film?

Mark Kermode has been gripped by the marriage of movie and soundtrack since Dougal and the Blue Cat (aged 6) and, with Jenny Nelson, has just published ‘Surround Sound: the Stories of Movie Music'. We talk to him here about… … Scorsese, Cameron Crowe, Sofia Coppola, Edgar Wright: the new generation “who grew up with a headful of not just music, but records” … how John Williams is “the last Whistle Test composer”: two bars of ET, Jaws or Star Wars and you instantly know the film … how “silent cinema was never silent” and his band the Dodge Brothers playing live soundtracks … Butch Cassidy, Easy Rider, Blackboard Jungle … pioneers of the music video … the genius of American Graffiti: “Lucas wanted it so marinated in music the town would sound like a pickle jar” … how scores are recorded and edited and what happens when a director tells an orchestra he's changed his mind … “by the time each Lord of the Rings soundtrack reached New Zealand, Peter Jackson had re-cut the film” … Forbidden Planet in 1956, the days when electronic scores weren't real music … Martha Reeves, Jonathan Richman and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion in Edgar Wright's Baby Driver … Tarantino's kitsch use of “his own scratchy vinyl” and why Jonny Greenwood‘s There Will Be Blood is unique and exceptional … plus the “atonal squonking” of the Exorcist and the greatest soundtrack of all time.
