As a MaxFunDrive milestone goal, we set the challenge that if we got enough new/upgrading/joining supporters of Maximum Film!, one of those folks would get to pick a movie for us to do an episode on. Well, thanks to supporters like Molly, we hit that goal, and this episode is the result: PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE (one of Molly's faves) is a 1974 rock musical fantasmagoria from early in writer/director Brian DePalma's career. It's box-office flop-turned cult classic. And it is heavily reliant on the dubious cultural power of songwriter and actor Paul Williams.   As if this episode needed to be MORE special, we also mark the mid-year by naming some of our favorite films of the year so far.

Acclaimed indie comics writer and artist Tyler Boss (What's the Furthest Place From Here?, Dead Dog's Bite) joins Byron to dive deep into his dark, twisted new Exquisite Corpses spin-off series from Tiny Onion Rascal Randy. Tyler reveals how a seemingly innocent bunny suit mascot morphed into an iconic figure of small-town terror, how he balances true crime mystery elements with slasher horror, and what it's like breaking a comic narrative inside a collaborative, TV style writers room with James Tynion IV and the Tiny Onion crew. Then we switch gears to discuss his work on Skybound's Universal Monsters: Phantom of the Opera series with artist Martin Simmonds. Tyler discusses pulling inspiration from Gaston Leroux's original 1910 novel, flipping the script to center the story on Christine's ambitions, and making classic horror genuinely scary again. Tyler on Instagram Rascal Randy from the publisher The sleepy little town of Aurora Springs, NY, has exactly one claim to fame: it's the birthplace of Rascal Randy. Not the man in the suit—the man has never mattered. He was no one until he put the mascot head on for the first time, until he felt the life leave someone's body through the thickly furred gloves of the suit. No, Aurora Springs is the birthplace of Rascal Randy the rabbit, who, once upon a time, was poised to become the greatest animated character this country had ever seen—until greed and tragedy changed his trajectory forever. Now, before the events of EXQUISITE CORPSES SEASON 1, witness the final murder spree of this iconic killer, as chaos hops into town with buckteeth bared and ears flopping…and the secret, sordid history of Rascal Randy is finally revealed. Universal Monsters: Phantom of the Opera from the publisher Eisner Award-nominated author Tyler Boss and acclaimed artist MARTIN SIMMONDS unmask the iconic monster with their haunting take on THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. THE HORRIFYING NEW VISION OF THE STORY YOU ONLY THINK YOU KNOW! After a series of violent crimes wracks the Paris Opera House, Christine Daaé's career is in chaos. But the show must go on, and Christine will discover that no one—especially the mysterious voice whispering from the eaves—is what they seem.As an old friend returns to investigate these surprising attacks, Christine will find out there's no escaping... THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. The superstar team of TYLER BOSS (YOU'LL DO BAD THINGS) and MARTIN SIMMONDS (THE DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH) presents the shocking new horror series of 2026 that will thrill Phantom of the Opera fans new and old with a twist no one will see coming!

You might've seen that I have a new video up on YouTube this week — it's about the long hard fight for marriage equality, and how some Hollywood icons got involved in the cause. The battle for the freedom to marry has been very much on my mind lately, so I wanted to revisit an interview from 2022 with Chris Geidner. You may know Chris for his day job, reporting and writing on some of the most pressing legal issues of the day — including his expert attention to all matters Supreme Court. But he's just as passionate about musical theater, going all the way back to the time he was enthralled by Phantom of the Opera. In fact, it was one little twist of fate that led him to a legal career instead of a life in the theater — but, as he discovered, the two careers aren't as different as one might think.

Consensus on the new Paul McCartney album has, to say the least, been mixed. Classical Bi-Monthly writes, “Where the f are the Liverpool Oratorio outtakes”? Dance Tuesdays proclaimed, “No Fireman? No interest”. And MAGA Monthly pouts with vitriol, “Why won't woke Macca record with current, hit-makin' patriots like Vanilla Ice, Lee Greenwood, or Chachi?” But here at the UBP, we all adore “The Boys of Dungeon Lane”. Side 1 is perhaps Macca's finest slab of wax. But what about Side 2? Is this where the patented Macca Fillers creep in? Or is Side 2 on par with the UNIFORMLY BELOVED (#TakeItTony) “Flowers In The Dirt”? And How Many People appreciate this reference? The guys continue to break-down this historic release - now available in its 700th vinyl iteration - and also ask:

Georgina Hopson (Titanique, The Phantom Of The Opera) stars as Anya and Robert Tripolino (Jesus Christ Superstar US/UK, Les Misèrables UK), star as Dmitry in the Australian premiere production of ANASTASIA [Crossroads Live Australia]. The musical is currently playing at the Sydney Lyric Theatre and I was thrilled to talk to them both and find out more about this musical, their approaches to character and why this musical and their characters mean so much to them. Listeners, right before the interview began, Georgina walked onstage to surprise us wearing the Anya/Anastasia royal blue ballroom gown, which I audibly gasped and I left that in! Robert was also still in costume from his previous performance. This is a great interview, hope you enjoy!

We've got a lot to celebrate this week, Spookies! Not only is it our very own Monica's birthday, it's also a Fifth Tuesday and the sneaky unofficial start to a new themed month — so of course we had to cover The Phantom of the Opera (2004). A luxe movie musical that captures the theatrical flair of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Broadway show and pairs it with the camp sensibilities of director Joel Schumacher, this flick practically jumps out of the screen when that first booming note hits. On a new Spooky Tuesday, we challenge you not to sing along as we talk all things score and book lore.

Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In our seventy-fifth episode and opener for Season 7 (a whole year of fan favourites and camp classics), we look at something a bit highbrow (the opera) in the pulpiest, trashiest way (through this book). We introduce our new imaginary producer, Diane, wonder if this should be our first musical episode, and learn that Raoul is more than just the most hated man on all of Broadway: he's also the most hated man in literature.Cover art © Catherine Wu.Episode Theme: Verdi, 'Overture' in La Forza Del Destino.

We discuss the interaction between cast and audience, from guided movement through the building to moments of direct engagement with performers, as well as the sound, orchestrations, and how the familiar score lands in this new format. We also examine Diane Paulus's direction, the scenic and lighting design by Scott Pask and Ben Stanton, Emilio Sosa's costumes, and the special effects that define this large-scale immersive environment. The conversation highlights individual performances by company members such as Clay Singer, Riley Noland, Betsy Morgan, Francisco Javier González, and Tia Karaplis, while reflecting on our experience navigating the show and what this staging suggests about the production's future.  Follow and connect with all things @HalfHourPodcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

This week on The Rotten Horror Picture Show Podcast, Clay and Amanda are celebrating a major milestone in horror history: the 100th anniversary of the 1925 silent film classic The Phantom of the Opera. Starring the legendary Lon Chaney in one of the most iconic monster performances ever put on film, this adaptation helped define cinematic horror, gothic atmosphere, and studio-era spectacle. Clay and Amanda dig into the film's legacy, its influence on everything from Universal's monster cycle to modern horror aesthetics, and why Chaney's Phantom remains haunting a full century later. It's a birthday worth celebrating — even if I'm still trying to wrap my head around the basic concept.Because I have a question. A very serious one. Why — why — would you make a silent movie** about the opera? Opera is music! It's singing! It's loud! It's dramatic people hitting notes so high it feels like glass might shatter. And yet here we are, watching a movie where everyone is passionately gesturing at each other in total silence while title cards politely explain that someone is singing their heart out. I keep expecting the Phantom to burst into song, only for a piano to gently tinkle in the background like, “Trust us, it's happening.”Still, despite my confusion, there's no denying the magic. The sets are enormous, the shadows are gorgeous, and Lon Chaney's transformation into the Phantom is pure movie sorcery. Clay and Amanda walk through how the film used visuals to replace sound, turning music into movement and emotion into imagery. They talk about the famous unmasking, the tragedy of Erik the Phantom, and how the film somehow makes opera feel loud even when you can't hear a note.So join them in honoring 100 years of The Phantom of the Opera. I may not hear the music, but apparently… that's the point.And don't forget to head over to patreon.com/thepenskyfile to follow Clay and Amanda down the muddy path of remakes and reboots too!

It's the largest touring company in North America...and it's making its home at the Cadillac Palace Theater through February. WBBM's Lisa Fielding takes us behind the scenes of the Phantom of the Opera.

From a 7 year old girl with alopecia who loved to sing for whoever would listen… to landing her first agent at age 10… to auditioning for the role of “Emmeline” in THE BLUE LAGOON as a teenager seven times only to not get the role… to her audition for “Sarah” in LABYRINTH alongside Jennifer Connelly and Ally Sheedy (Jill didn't get that role either)… to landing the role of “Claudette” in Joel Schumacher's D.C. CAB (1983) and then going on to star in a string of genre films like THE STEPFATHER, CURSE II, POPCORN, and WHEN A STRANGER CALLS BACK all while suffering from agoraphobia and severe anxiety… to the surprising information Fred Walton shared with her about her audition for WHEN A STRANGER CALLS BACK after the film had finished shooting… to her upcoming films RALPH'S PERFEKT CHRISTMAS and A DYING ART… and what to expect in her upcoming book of memoirs and on her upcoming album, Jill explains why you can't attach your happiness to an outcome that you can't personally control and why it's so important to just keep showing up.

It's taken 692 podcasts before The Man Of 1000 Faces has come up on Have You Ever Seen, but here Lon Chaney finally is as the title character in Rupert Julian's Phantom Of The Opera. Despite the high kill count, this isn't particularly scary...although it IS eerily effective. The colour tinting in this otherwise black & white movie helps set a baleful mood. And the red-letter moment is when Mary Philbin takes off the Phantom's mask and shows us the makeup Chaney designed to give himself such a horrible face. He wants her affections, while she just wants to perform. So come for the Opera, but stay to hear about how the obsessive Phantom wouldn't take no for an answer 100 years ago. Subscribe to this channel in your app, but help grow the show by rating and reviewing it. The Phantom writes notes all the time. You can too! Don't be silent like this movie is.

The goal is to find a fun angle, not to do a proper review.
