In this 141 episode, The Lomeli Brothers talk opening week for football. The Izzy fight encompassing Renato's Pulp Fiction week. Raul's upcoming far east trip.

Actor, comedian, sports fan and Jim Dolan hater Michael Rapaport was in studio with Chaz and AJ today. He talked about the brutal Giants loss to the Cowboys, why he'll never go back to Barstool, and auditioning for a role in Pulp Fiction. 

In filmmaking, surprise endings and quests for mysterious objects can derail your movie entirely if not handled well. Today, we take on the best (and worst) plot twists and MacGuffins in cinematic history. We're talkin' final reveals in Psycho and The Sixth Sense, Marcellus Wallace's briefcase in Pulp Fiction, the "one ring to rule them all," and many more. We also discuss the careers of such directors as Alfred Hitchcock, M. Night Shyamalan, and David Fincher, and whether or not being known for plot twists and MacGuffins is a good thing. 

The 90's had some huge blockbuster hits like Independence Day, Armageddon, and Forrest Gump. But the decade also had a few movies that captured that time and culture in a unique Gen X sort of way. Let's talk about a few of them: The Faculty, The Craft, Scream, Hackers, Pulp Fiction, Clerks... #thecraftmovie #pulpfiction #clerks #realitybites #empirerecords #pumpupthevolume

Well, well, well. If it isn't Mr. Nerd. We're back, and we're taking a different tack with the start of this season. Since we love all things nerd-related and adjacent, we're going to be talking about Quentin Tarantino's work, chronologically. Up first is Reservoir Dogs: the film that thrust the man into our orbit. Listen in as we chat about the man himself, and if you haven't seen the film in a while, go back and give it a watch. Up next in our study is one tasty film, Pulp Fiction. 

We're kicking off Tarantino month with his best-known film. Noah's seen it and Greg hasn't. Listen to hear what we think!

I talk about low blows, a short musical, and the first car with touch screen. Cheers!

MOB LAND SYNOPSIS In a small town struggling with addiction, a local sheriff (John Travolta) tries to maintain the peace when desperate family man Shelby (Shiloh Fernandez) robs a pill mill. The supposedly easy score takes a violent turn, alerting the New Orleans mafia's revenge-seeking enforcer. Here's the trailer: https://www.lionsgate.com/videos/mob-land-2023-official-trailer-john-travolta NICHOLAS MAGGIO INTERVIEW WITH MOVIEWEB Here's a case for catharsis through creativity. Writer/director Nicholas Maggio made the new John Travolta action thriller Mob Land for his 13-year-old self. "I was 13 and in my friend's basement in Pennsylvania, and we got a copy of the VHS for Reservoir Dogs," Maggio admitted. "I remember having my mind just absolutely blown that this was all possible. I didn't know that film because I grew up with my dad. We watched Ben-Hur and Lawrence of Arabia. We didn't watch French Connection or Bullet. I had never seen this gritty kind of film before. "That's when I fell in love with filmmaking," he quickly added. "I fell in love with what film could be, especially the independent films of the 1990s." Decades later, Maggio has given birth to a gritty action-packed tale, which he co-wrote with Rob Healy.The story takes place deep in the heart of Dixie, where a small town is struggling with a rise in addiction. An intrepid sheriff (John Travolta) keeps things in check as best as he can, but when Shelby, a frenetic family man (Shiloh Fernandez of Evil Dead) robs a pill mill with Trey (Kevin Dillon of Entourage), his reckless brother-in-law, things turn dire. The New Orleans mafia enters the picture, and the action kicks up.Curiously, Nicholas Maggio was inspired to create the tale, thanks to an unconventional encounter about seven years ago. An avid muscle cars fan, he found several guys on Instagram who shared the same interest. They were located in the northern part of Alabama."They were all about driving these old beat up muscle cars and I had never met them. I didn't know anything about them. So, I hit them up on Instagram, and said, 'Hey, I want to come down and take photos of you guys.' So literally, a buddy of mine in New York met me in Alabama, and we ended up becoming very good friends with these guys. And we documented their lives for four or five days."Maggio loved the area - both his parents were born and raised in Mississippi - and he found northern Alabama intriguing. "It wasn't totally new to me, but it was a side I hadn't seen before. And they were taking me to all these small towns where they're from. So, I knew I wanted to write a story that revolved somewhat around these guys, and this idea of what the American Dream is, and what it means to them. It's definitely fictionalized, and I ran with it. I mean, my buddies in north Alabama are not hooked on pills and run clinics. But it is something that, you know, they probably have friends who do."Between Paradise City and Die Hart, it's been interesting to track Travolta's career choices of late. Regardless, there's a fascinating sense of ownership and power in what the Grease and Pulp Fiction star brings to the screen in Mob Land. Once the action gets rolling, audiences discover that the man fueling the New Orleans mafia twist here is a revenge-seeking brute (Stephen Dorff of Blade, Old Henry), who soon threatens Shelby's wife (Ashley Benson of Pretty Little Liars) and daughter. Travolta's beleaguered sheriff has to rise to the occasion."John read the script, and he expressed to me that it was something he could see himself doing," Maggio says. "I had a couple of conversations with John and as a first-time director, I think some people grilled me a little bit, wanting to know things. I got very different questions from everyone. But John wanted to know what I was going to do with the film, and why I wanted to make it.""He was pretty interested in not just the technical aspect of what I was going to do, he was more interested in why and what it meant to me, which is really fun. But once he was involved, I mean, we tore through it."Along the way, Maggio kept recalling his younger self, and why it was important for him to make a film that was, in some ways, a throwback to those 1990s action movies."That whole scene, the whole genre, all the great films that we got out of that era was incredible," he said. "For Mob Land, I wanted to do not just a love letter to the American neo-noir genre, but to the independent film spirit. I wanted it linear, simple, you know. filled with great characters. I wanted it to be defined by its protagonists and antagonists. Brutal and poetic."

In the wake of 'Barbenheimer', there is perhaps more excitement surrounding the moviegoing experience than there has been in many years. But why does it feel like the film industry has been a bit lacklustre for the past while? Has the divide been film critics and audience grown, as critically acclaimed movies seem to get less attention than blockbuster Marvel-type films? And ultimately, what actually makes for a solid movie? Enjoyment, emotion, something thought-provoking, or all of the above? Renowned film critic Richard Crouse joins the podcast.

Not a week ago, Bob was absent from our Pulp Fiction episode. This may come to you as a surprise, because Bob is Quentin super-fan #1. But he was missing for a very good reason: he attended a screening of Tommy Wiseau's The Room that was hosted by the one and only Greg Sestero (Oh, hi Mark!) Join us for this bonus episode to hear Bob's story. Friends became enemies, enemies became friends, spoons were thrown, and we're provided with some great insight into what may very well be the worst movie ever made. www.theworstmovieevermade.com

Part 2 in my many parts of the “Tarantino-esq” film series. Josh Bennett, who I met while working on a movie years ago, stops by to talk about this gem and does comparisons to the original script (spoiler alert: there's one massive difference), and explains the origins of how the characters came to be. This movie as well as other 90's gritty crime dramas with the Tarantino style are available to rent at Videodrome!

On today's episode, we watch Sylvester Stallone marble-mouth his way through a marauding gang motorbiking axe murderers, or something. Just like every Steven Seagal movie we've covered on this show, Stallone's Cobra also suffers from a very bad case of "fuck, he's good" syndrome, and he wants us all to know that he can do no wrong. Except for the police assault, and the witness banging, and the wanton destruction of small businesses, and killing way more people than the people suspected of foul play in the first place. Let's do this! Murder in aisle five! Mid-madman-mission marketing! Car chase with key witness cargo! Cop/witness bing-bong! Retro soda recommendations! Malicious bean sniping! SUCCUMBING TO THE GLIZZY! Fucking Jack! Knocking over pints of important blood! Super Sabrett! Personal armory tropes! Meat hooking the bad guy! Stiffing the steel, and much, much more on this week's episode of The Worst Movie Ever Made! We'll be watching Pulp Fiction next week because we feel bad about accusing John Travolta of dog murder multiple times this season.* www.theworstmovieevermade.com *John Travolta is a dog murderer

My friend Spendo and I discuss some details and the backround to some of our favorite Tarantino films (specifically Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction), which leads to a wider conversation about his legacy and place in the pantheon of American directors. We get into Robert Eggers, Lynch, and even Refn a little bit, as well as some Nietzsche and Baudriallard and the nature of making movies on film versus digital.However, in order to hear the full discussion you have to become a paid subscriber to my substack, at astralflight.substack.com. Also, this episode is a supplement to an article we wrote for Man's World Magazine Online

The Crew discuss what is happening in their lives and have an open table discussion. We talk the VEN Diagram, Helen, Sexology, Walking through Fire, jumping over fire, Does Arnold play the same part in every movie, Jason Bateman? Kevin Costner?  And whatever else comes up.

BONUS: Kateri Gormley, Gomer's oldest, joins us on the show to make fun of her dad for 10 minutes. Top Gun: Maverick which Tom Cruise used to save movie theaters, is a welcomed change of pace, but also is out of place. YouTuber Thomas Flight breaks down Modern movies (High Noon), Postmodern movies (No Country for Old Men, Pulp Fiction) and Metamodern movies (Everything, Everywhere, All at Once) to talk about this. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xEi8qg266g (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xEi8qg266g) Title: Why do Movies Feel So Different Now? Tradition defined as the meta-narrative creating worldviews of religion and civilizations of yesteryear. Tradition, with its categories, roles, and super-stories, pull everyone and everything into an ordered and meaningful cosmos. Modernism denies tradition's ability to deal with reality as it is, drawing on science and reason for real progress. This was begun philosophically with Descartes and Bacon and others, but really becomes the cultural vibe starting in the late 1800s and continuing until World War 2, when the notion of progress blew up 2 cities in Japan. Postmodernism realizes modernism buys into meta-narrative just as much as tradition, but in a different way, by supplying a non-religious meta-narrative. Post-modernism attacks moderism by attacking narrative itself, using deconstruction, irony, self-awareness, etc. We go about unmasking stories to find the will to power beneath. All meta-narratives are powerplays, attempts to manipulate and control the masses. The only way to be free, then, is to be undefined, un-storied. Metamodernism is the art of the exhausted, world-weary response to post-modernist subversions, ironies, deconstructionism, that also knows that you can't simply go back to modernism without feeling corny. So it embraces the deconstruction with an affirming sentiment in the heart-felt chaos. "Cherish these moments" even though these moments are meaningless. It is an oscillation between the delight in narrative and the seriousness of deconstruction and self-reflection. Back and forth, generating moments of delight or fun, knowing all the while it is fake, false, and meaningless. (See "Babylon" or "The Fablemen" or "Nope" that tries to mock that which unabashedly is). This video by Thomas Flight does a great job in tying together previous conversations we have had about David Foster Wallace's talk on the usefulness of irony (1950s and 1960s America) and when it becomes a deeply disturbing problem as it becomes the norm (1980s onward). We now get what post-modern movies are trying to do because they've been doing it for decades now, only with bigger budgets and with superheroes: "Ok, I get it, you've subverted my expectations yet again. Wow. But only you didn't, because I knew you would do exactly that. I saw it coming". Gomer's example is Amazon's newest season of the Jack Ryan series. When the selfless friend and philanthropist, the head of W.H.O., turned out to actually be an off-the-charts drug-dealing, torturing psychopath, my wife and I were like, “Yeah. Sure. Whatever.” It fell flat because it was more of the same plot-twisting nothing. Another aspect of the rise of post-modernism and meta-modernism: You know you're getting rich as an artist while real suffering is happening all around you and in the world, even in the lives of the people who love and watch your movies or enjoy your art. So, you draw attention to the process self-reflectively. You point out that, yeah, this is silly, but it's fun. Maybe we can have fun together doing this. This is why there is a compulsion to stand up on stage at whatever awards ceremony and become an activist. You don't just thank your cast and crew, but must draw attention to the evils in the world around you and condemn them.

This is #600 of Ron's Amazing Stories. This time around I am going to just take it all in and say, man have I really done 600 podcasts. I think back to episode one of the show. It was not very good, and I didn't have any idea of what I was doing or where it was all going to lead. But, here we are today and I have to say that I am happy with where it has all gone. There are so many people to thank that I won't even try. Over the next few shows I hope to do that by bringing some of those folks back. Well see how that goes. So what are we going to do on this show? We have an audiobook review of an audible original, three brand new stories sent in by you for you, a creepy tale suggested and read to us by James, and our featured story looks at the end of the world from a robot's point of view. We also have a special edition of Johnny Is It True 600th show edition. So, press that play button and enjoy the show. Happy 600th! Featured Story - The Ultimate Experiment Our featured story is one that we have had on the show before, but it remains a favorite. It is a fact that we all have a mortality date. But what about the human race? I think that it is pretty clear we humans have an expiration date as well. The question should be, what will we leave behind? Our story explores that idea and gives one plausible answer. It is titled The Ultimate Experiment written by Thornton Deky. It first appeared in Comet Magazine in July of 1941. No living soul breathed upon the earth. Only robots, carrying on the last great order.

MONSTER PARTY WHIPS IT GOOD! JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, pay tribute to an iconic character whose adventures have spanned over 30 years. He's everyone's favorite whip-wielding archeologist, which kind of narrows it down. Cue exhilarating John Williams music as we present an episode that could only be titled... INDIANA JONES!!! From that first screening of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK back in 1981, we all were unexpectedly awed by the epic heroism of Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. Sure, the following films and TV shows have been a mixed bag, but through better or worse, it's safe to say that Indy has always been a hero we've been rooting for.  In this episode, we dissect the Indiana Jones phenomenon in detail. Is Raiders a truly perfect film? Is Temple of Doom too violent and just not Indy enough? Does Last Crusade have too many gags? Is Crystal Skull way too Shia LaBeoufy? Who was The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles actually intended for? Did Dial of Destiny redeem the series? What are the best Indiana Jones collectibles? And how do you explain to your in-laws why you have all those whips? Charging at us like a giant rolling ball of talent, information, and charisma, is a return guest and long time MONSTER PARTY benefactor. He's a renowned artist, foam fabricator, creature creator, puppet builder, monster maker, SFX makeup wizard, and film industry professional, not to mention an all-around fantastic person.

“In alien parts, we speak more simply, unencumbered by the histories that we carry around at home, and look more excitedly, with eyes of wonder.” —Pico Iyer In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and The Vagabond's Way book club participants discuss how he prepares for the book-club sessions (1:30); how the first days of one's journeys have an optimistic energy and excitement, and how "culture shock" is a real thing (4:00); how travel can put us into a childlike mental state, and how travel expectations can lead to unfair disappointments (13:00); how food, even anomalous food, tells specific stories about places, and Rolf's strategy for keeping a travel journal (21:30); how the "beaten path" is beaten for good reasons, but straying from it yields serendipitous rewards (31:00); and simple strategies for staying safe and dealing with burnout on the road (42:00).
