Abrams On this week's episode, we welcome Ben Worcester onto the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza to chat about the super-fun action sequel, Mission: Impossible III! How great is this engagement party scene with Ethan working the room? Has there been a better M:I villain than the late, great Philip Seymour Hoffman's portrayal of Owen Davian? Is this the M:I flick with the most Ving? And how lucky is Ethan to have Aaron Paul for a brother-in-law? PLUS: Does Ethan Hunt have the same bartending skills as Brian Flanagan?

In "Capote", Philip Seymour Hoffman channeled the man who wrote "In Cold Blood". In "Green Street Hooligans", Elijah Wood tried to be a tough guy and Charlie Hunnam tried to be Jason Statham.

For this episode of Sound Speed Action, we're continuing our countdown to Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning. We're joined by returning guest and friend of the pod, Chris Cheng, to break down the franchise's third installment — Mission Impossible III (2006).It's a movie of firsts: JJ Abrams (of Lost and Alias fame) makes his feature film directorial debut, Simon Pegg arrives as tech whiz Benji, and it's the only Mission film ever co-produced with China. Oh — and it dropped right in the middle of the Tom Cruise Turbulence Era: the Oprah couch jump, the Matt Lauer meltdown, the Paramount fallout, and an infamous episode of South Park.Our conversation starts with the highs, but quickly uncovers some shared frustrations:* Abrams overindulging in his signature moves (lens flares, violin overload, blown-out colors, endless close-ups)* Wasting powerhouse talents like Philip Seymour Hoffman and Michelle Monaghan* Failing to make the part of the movie that is in China a meaningful, fun, colorful, vibrant part and character of the story* Skipping the iconic “light the fuse” title sequence* A very long rooftop scene of “I need you to trust me” (you'll know it when you see it)* The fulcrum scene that really tests your ability to suspend your disbeliefStill, the movie isn't without its charms:* The mystery box tool of “the rabbits foot” here is mysterious and fun* New characters played by Keri Russell, Maggie Q, Billy Crudup, and Laurence Fishburne* Set piece standouts like the Vatican heist and Davian's bridge escape* Philip Seymour Hoffman channeling straight menace in one of the creepiest villain performances of the series (but we have some issues with this too…)This entry in the franchise is a very divisive one. It marks the halfway point for us in this franchise countdown. But get ready and hold onto your butts because this latter half of the franchise consistently kicks things up a few gears. Back with more soon!Mission Impossible III is streaming now on Prime Video and Paramount+. It's also available to rent or buy on all major platforms. This is a public episode.

For their 195th episode, two imposter film critics, two murderous dads, and two non-Italian school teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, stay in the monumental year of 1999 for one more week with another cornerstone film. Lapped at the time by the likes of "The Matrix," "American Beauty," "Magnolia," and "Fight Club," stands the late Anthony Minghella's salacious "The Talented Mr. Ripley" starring the early white-hot coals of Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Minghella's follow-up to his Oscar-winning "The English Patient," might have aged better than those previously mentioned 1999 bangers, and our guys are here to dote on its top-to-bottom lavishness. Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect that fun movies encapsulate.

Welcome back to the Video Store Podcast and a happy belated Record Store Day to you! Since you hang out at the Video Store, you are obviously a fan of physical media, and I hope that includes vinyl records. I've selected four films this week that look at films featuring records and record stores. High Fidelity (2000)First up is High Fidelity featuring John Cusack, Iben Hjejle, Todd Luiso, Jack Black, Lisa Bonet, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Joan Cusack, and Tim Robbins. Reeling from a big break-up with Laura (Iben Hjejle), Rob Gordon (John Cusack), recounts to the audience his top 5 break-ups of all time, the same way he would his top 5 favorite albums. As he walks the audience through his break-ups, he starts to work through his relational issues. It's a film about working through your own problems, taking responsibility for how you've hurt other people, and trying to be better. And with its setting of Rob's record store, a killer soundtrack, and all the vinyl records everywhere, it's a great pick for this theme. Sing Street (2016)Sing Street is the best film nobody saw in 2016. Set in the early-mid 80s, Conor is forced to change schools due to the economic downturn in Ireland at the time and his parents' looming separation. Struggling to fit in, Conor finds solace in music and music videos with his brother Brendan. Conor decides he wants to start a band that forms an accidental community among his bandmates, an aspiring model, Raphina, and even the school bully. Conor and his friends start to find hope through music, even in a seemingly hopeless and desperate situation. There are loads of things to love about Sing Street, but the original music really makes this film something special. The soundtrack even got a vinyl release, so look for it at your local record shop, though, heads up, it's a bit hard to track down in the US. Pirate Radio (released as The Boat That Rocked in the UK) (2009)Set in 1966, Pirate Radio tells the story of a young teenage boy, Carl, who is sent to live with his godfather on Radio Rock, the pirate radio station ship anchored in the North Sea, broadcasting rock music to the UK. Featuring a killer ensemble cast, including Philip Seymour Hoffman, Billy Nighy, Rhys Ifans, Nick Frost, Emma Thompson, January Jones, Kenneth Branagh, Chris O'Dowd, and so many more, this is a wonderful film about getting into trouble for the right reasons. The film centers on the love of music and finding where you fit in. Plus, look at all that beautiful, vintage radio equipment and the shelves and shelves of records. Absolutely gorgeous. Empire Records (1995)The last film I've selected for today is Empire Records. While set in a record shop, this is a film that's really more about finding out who you are and finding where you fit. For the group of young misfits that work at Empire Records, it's right there at the record store. This is a story about protecting that found family and celebrating the good things in your life. Plus you'll want to have a dance party with your chosen family at the end of the movie. Thanks for joining us this week at the Video Store Podcast. As the great philosopher Corrine Bailey Rae says, “Girl, put your records on. Tell me your favorite song. Just go ahead let your hair down,” while you spin some records and movies about records.

Hi folks! We can't stop/won't stop talking about Philip Seymour Hoffman movies just yet, so settle in for our chat about PSH's terrifying (yet jolly?) role in Mission: Impossible III (Abrams, 2006)! We talk about how unsettling PSH is as a villain, the movie's weird relationship with intimacy, and how PSH seamlessly switches from playing his character, Owen Davian, to playing Tom Cruise playing Davian. He climbs on things! He dangles out of a plane! He's persnickety about a li'l spill on his bespoke shirt! He really does it all in this movie, and we loved talking about it as much as we hope you'll enjoy listening to us talk about it (a lot).Don't forget to rate and review us, and reach out and say hello at thejuiciestbitspodcast@gmail.com!

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 90 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by film critic Tom O'Brien to discuss the final film in their Mike Nichols series, Charlie Wilson's War (2007). For the last film in Mike Nichols' filmography, he attempts again to try and make a political commentary that will stand out as one of best to ever get made. As someone who has tackled the human condition so well throughout his films, Nichols has also chased the idea of making a political film from his films of the 70s, to even a film on this series in Primary Colors. This time working with a script from Aaron Sorkin, Nichols does his best to tell the story of a Texas congressman and the CIA who worked together on a covert operation to support the Afghan mujahideen during the Soviet–Afghan War. Led by Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, and Philip Seymour Hoffman's stellar performances, Charlie Wilson's War is mostly the best political film Nichols made; you just wonder if he ever needed to chase this whale in the first place considering this film is still a lesser script from the acclaimed screenwriter behind it. Ryan, Jay, and Tom break down their thoughts on the film, Sorkin as a figure in Hollywood, how uneventful the film feels, Hanks wanting Nichols for this film, the greatness of Hoffman, as well as the guys final rankings of Nichols' filmography, and a reminder of the next film series the guys will be covering after their upcoming bonus episode for Nichols' Angels in America. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 2h. The guys will be back next week with a bonus episode for the Mike Nichols' series with a review of his acclaimed miniseries, Angels in America. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental or stream on Max in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it. Music: MUSICALIFE, from Pond5 (intro) and “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

Featuring a powerhouse performance by Philip Seymour Hoffman in one of his final roles, the film explores the murky moral territory of counterterrorism and intelligence work in a post-9/11 world.Directed by Anton Corbijn, A Most Wanted Man takes us into the shadowy world of international espionage, set in the bustling port city of Hamburg, Germany—a crucial location in the intelligence community, especially after the 9/11 attacks.The film follows Günther Bachmann (Philip Seymour Hoffman), a weary but brilliant German intelligence officer leading a covert team tasked with tracking down potential terrorist threats. His latest target is Issa Karpov (Grigoriy Dobrygin), a Chechen refugee with possible extremist ties, who seeks asylum and access to a significant inheritance.As various players—including a determined human rights lawyer (Rachel McAdams), a wary banker (Willem Dafoe), and interfering American intelligence operatives—become entangled in the case, Bachmann is forced to navigate a treacherous web of political manoeuvring and ethical dilemmas.This isn't your typical spy thriller—it's a thinking person's espionage film, perfect for fans of John le Carré's work or anyone who enjoys intricate, morally ambiguous storytelling. While it may be too slow-paced for younger audiences, it's a gripping watch for those who appreciate substance over spectacle.With its intelligent script, stellar performances, and unsettlingly realistic take on modern espionage, A Most Wanted Man is a must-watch for fans of tense, character-driven thrillers. So grab a stiff drink, light a cigarette (if you must), and join us as we unravel the shadowy world of international intelligence.

In honor of the 25th anniversary of Paul Thomas Anderson' Magnolia (1999), Bald Move is rereleasing their coverage. Special thanks to Lauren, Anne, and Rick who chipped in to commission this podcast on Magnolia for Alex Myers as a Christmas (!!!) present. Jim and I had never seen Magnolia, the Paul Thomas Anderson classic before now, and wow is it a doozy. Starring greats such as William H. Macy, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Julianne Moore, to name just a few, it involves a day in the life of a dozen or so characters on a collision course with fate and coincidence, and what they'll learn about themselves and each other along the way. Fueled by raw emotion and melodrama, we were intrigued by the complex tale being woven before our eyes. If you haven't seen it, check it out before we spoil it for you on this podcast, because it's an amazing film.

Ryan and Dylan are joined by friend and film critic Camden Ferrell to discuss Happiness, Todd Solondz's disturbing and uncomfortable take on American Suburbia.

Caring for an elderly or infirm parent is a common experience that is less commonly depicted on screen, particularly with a comedic bent, which is why Azazal Jacobs' new HIS THREE DAUGHTERS inspired us to revisit the 2007 dramedy THE SAVAGES, which writer-director Tamara Jenkins drew from her own experiences dealing with a father with dementia. Much of the film's success lies with the performances of Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman as siblings whose estranged father's deteriorating condition serves as catalyst for their own midlife crises, and a script that trusts in their performances to convey the situation's unexpected yet accurate mingling of tragedy and comedy. Then in Feedback we get negative, with one listener writing in about why a recent film we covered “broke” them, and another inviting us to share the beloved films that we just can't help but dislike. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about THE SAVAGES, HIS THREE DAUGHTERS, and anything else in the world of film by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Warning - this episode contains an ungodly amount of Pacino impressions. Listener discretion is advised. “Actor's actor” and local boy from Queens David Krumholtz becomes the second cast member of Oppenheimer and first person immortalized in Griffin's beloved Disney Emoji Blitz to guest on our Martin Brest series as we talk about 1992's dire SCENT OF A WOMAN. Would this movie be less terrible if it were at least 40 minutes shorter? What if the original first choice for Lt. Col. Frank Slade - Jack Nicholson - had done this film instead of Pacino? What if we swapped Philip Seymour Hoffman for the charisma vacuum that is Chris O'Donnell? Sadly, we can only imagine these scenarios. Join us for lots of candid Krumholtz anecdotes, a scorching hot take regarding the diner scene in Heat, and more!
