We're celebrating the 50th anniversary of Jaws by looking back at Spielberg's genre-defining original and its progressively wilder sequels. A quartet of films that not only redefined summer horror but also played a pivotal role in shaping contemporary fears of the ocean, the Jaws franchise embraced genre hybridity, influenced public perception of sharks, and contributed to the rise of the summer blockbuster. But are there other reasons that explain the original film's enduring cultural relevance? We're diving in today with spoilers, so stay tuned!ReferencesCaputi, Jane E. "Jaws as Patriarchal Myth."

In this thought-provoking episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra explores the unexpected intersection of cardiology and popular culture with Dr Kristen Shaw and Dr Kevin Harris from the Minneapolis Heart Institute. Their conversation centers around their recently published systematic analysis, "Portrayal of Acute Myocardial Infarction in Popular Film: A Review of Gender, Race, and Ethnicity". Through examination of 100 popular films, our guests unpack striking statistics: 90% of on-screen heart attacks occur in men, and symptom presentation is dramatically overplayed compared to clinical reality. The conversation delves into how these media portrayals potentially shape both patient behavior and public health outcomes, particularly for underrepresented populations. From exploring the stark disconnect between cinematic drama and clinical presentation to discussing practical solutions for improving public health messaging, this episode offers crucial insights for healthcare providers working to bridge the gap between media perception and medical reality. The discussion extends into broader themes of healthcare mistrust in the post-pandemic era, offering valuable perspectives on how improved representation could enhance patient education and emergency response outcomes. Essential listening for cardiologists, healthcare educators, and anyone interested in how media shapes public understanding of cardiovascular disease.

In today's episode, “one, two, Freddy's coming for you” in Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) and Chuck  Russell's A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987). In the original 1984 release, a group of teens attempt to outsmart Freddy Krueger, a supernatural killer who stalks them in their dreams. In the 1987 sequel, a band of institutionalized teens attempt to defeat Krueger and save the life of an innocent by intentionally entering Dreamland together to dire consequences. Aided by one of the most famous monsters in horror film canon, the films are considered essential viewing for fans of the slasher film, but is there more to this franchise than gore and Freddy's razor sharp wit?

"So they experienced this death. And then they all have to band together – ‘we're still going to make everything happen.' That's kind of how I felt after my dad passed away; I'm just going to do everything that I need to do." Angela Tabora This episode is part of a Breathing Wind miniseries titled Grief and Humor, co-hosted by Dara Kosberg and Sarah Davis. The Grief and Humor miniseries explores how humor allows people to get closer to their grief, explore it and better understand it, by creating a gateway into the hard feelings.

When Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson debuted his Hollywood persona in World Wrestling Entertainment in 2003, he was two years removed from his first successful protagonist role in "The Scorpion King" and on the heels of more film success with roles in "The Rundown" and "Walking Tall."  Little did anyone foresee that "Hollywood" Rock would buoy the overall representation for Asian and Pacific Islanders in popular film for the next 20 years. Last week, the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative released a report documenting the prevalence of Asian and Pacific Islanders both on-and off-screen across the top-grossing films each year from 2007 to 2019.  Of the 1,300 films examined, only 44 featured API actors playing lead roles, nearly a third of which were played by Johnson.  The report offers more staggering statistics: In 2019, over a quarter of API characters in the top-grossing films died. Most died by drowning, explosions, stabbing or suicides Of the over 51,000 speaking characters in the 1,300 films examined, only 6% were Asian, Asian American or Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders Only 50 of the 1,447 directors in the 1,300 films examined were of API heritage. In 2019, 67% of API characters played stereotyped roles The release of this report comes at a time of rising anti-Asian hate crimes nationally, and the authors of the report believe the portrayal of Asian and Pacific Islanders in mass media contributes to that. Today on FilmWeek, we delve into the study's findings and discuss the history of API filmmakers and actors in Hollywood. Guests:  Nancy Wang Yuen, professor of sociology at Biola University in La Mirada; she is co-author of “The Prevalence and Portrayal of Asian and Pacific Islanders Across 1,300 Popular Films”; she tweets @nancywyeun Justin Chang, film critic for the Los Angeles Times and NPR’s Fresh Air; he tweets @JustinCChang

Kiss Me Deadly : Le dernier bon film américain. Kiss Me Deadly, réalisé en 1955 par Robert Aldrich est un film américain, le dernier bon film qui a été réalisé par les États-Unis depuis plus de 60 ans. Aucun film depuis 1955 n’est arrivé à la cheville de ce chef-d’oeuvre d’après-guerre. Film noir par excellence, Kiss Me Deadly est un film complexe, lugubre et déjanté qui doit être vu ; si vous n’avez pas vu Kiss Me Deadly, il en est grand temps! Dans le présent épisode, on découvre, décortique et déboulonne Kiss Me Deadly. Bonne écoute!

In this episode, hosts Katherine Troyer and Anthony Tresca discuss the 1984 film A Nightmare on Elm Street.  Episode Highlights: We argue that it is possible to read this film both as an affirmative film (ultimately supporting the status quo) and a disaffirmative film (ultimately saying that "we" are the real monsters). Exploring the film's ambiguous treatment of the patriarchal figure, its conflation of the house in the suburbs with the boiler room of Freddy, and the ways it treats death, we explore how this film manages to offer us multiple, sometimes contradictory perspectives. Also, Anthony tells his horror origin story. A Dose of Scholarship: We discuss David Kingsley's 2013 article in Journal of Popular Film and Television, which looks at how this film draws heavily on  the Gothic tradition and Jonathan Markovitz's 2000 article in Quarterly Review of Film and Video on female paranoia as a survival skill.

Episode SummaryErin and Rachel travel to Sherwood Forest and discuss Robin Hood (1973), the first Disney film to feature a cast entirely composed of anthropomorphized animals! Although their qualms with the film include the limited agency of female characters and the derision of fat characters, they also enjoyed the exciting plot and folksy music. Episode BibliographyAsher-Perrin, E.

It's Academy Awards season, and hosts Thomas A. Fowler and Melissa Koons break down the nominations for this year. Who are our favorites? Who do we want to win compared to who we think will win. On several occasions we discuss the need to recognize genre more as well as stop promoting horrible people doing horrible things. And those horrible things also include how the Academy has handled the show this year from trying to shove Black Panther into the ill-advised "Popular Film" category and relegating certain categories to commercial breaks because they aren't sitting with the "cool kids."Have a listen and find us on social media @geekygabpodcast and at GeekyGab.com.

He’s the host of the Awards Chatter podcast, the oracle behind the Feinberg Forecast, and moderator of Q&A’s around the film world. His track record as a prognosticator is the best in the business, and through his many interviews, we can get to know the industry’s most award worthy filmmakers & stars. We’ve read & listened to Scott for years, well before our show began, and we’ve long hoped for the chance to talk to him about his life & career, and to pick his brain about the latest twists & turns of the next Oscar Race. We did just that last Friday. We begin with the Best Picture race, and Scott breaks down many of the Oscar categories throughout the episode. But what makes this interview extra special for us is Scott’s origin story. He began his love & study of film like many of us, with a movie list & a library. Listening to Scott talk about how he got started in this business was certainly one of the highlights of this or any show, and we left this interview as encouraged & inspired as ever. We hope the same for you. Scott is kind enough to chat with us for nearly an hour. We dive into his career path from the Connecticut local news & blogosphere to the LA Times & THR, and we ask him about his interview techniques & what kind of work process goes into his forecasting. This awards season has certainly left an impression on Mr. Feinberg, and he talks about the Popular Film category, Netflix, & the new Academy membership while also taking us back through Oscar history and citing many examples of what this voting body has stood for & championed since Scott began walking red carpets and brushing shoulders with the business. We also question Scott about the illustrious rise & fall of A Star Is Born and the unprecedented situation in the Best Supporting Actress category. Whether tuning in before or after Oscar’s big night, do not miss this episode. It is most definitely, one of our finest hours, and to Scott Feinberg, we thank him on behalf of our show. Do make sure to follow him on social media: @ScottFeinberg on Twitter, scott_feinberg on Instagram, and you can read & listen to his work on THR. As always, let us know what you think.

This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt discuss three, count ‘em three movies! First up, it's Bo Burnham's debut as writer/director of ‘Eighth Grade'. The slice of life crowd pleaser from this year's Sundance finally hits the local cinema. Is it as endearing and wonderful as the critics say? Or should Chris just rewatch ‘Princess Cyd' or ‘Lady Bird'? Matt reviews ‘Teen Titans Go To The Movies', the big screen version of the popular cartoon show. But who saw a better family-friendly film? Because Chris saw Disney's ‘Christopher Robin', the premiere of a live-action (sort of) Winnie the Pooh, along with his friends from the 100 Acre Wood. There's the always reliable rundown of the big releases on Blu-Ray & DVD, featuring the Straight to DVD and Streaming Picks of the Week. Then the show wraps with the return of ‘The Lounge' where your intrepid hosts tackle all the latest news; Ruby Rose as Batwoman and her quitting of Twitter, Idris Elba being looked at for Bond, and the Oscars' Popular Film category. It's a long one, so settle in for some top shelf movie talk!00:00-13:38: Intro/Eighth Grade13:39-24:00: Blu-Ray & DVD Picks24:01-30:06: Teen Titans Go The The Movies!30:07-35:03: Christopher Robin35:04-1:11:35: The Lounge1:11:36-1:13:15: Wrap UpTheme music provided by Jamal Malachi Ford-Bey

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences just announced a new award for Outstanding Achievement in Popular Film, and everyone online is losing their minds. Is the outrage justified?

An emergency episode of the In Reel Deep Podcast has been convened; join us as we rant about the Oscars in August, which is breaking new ground even for us.
