Bill Maher welcomes British comedian Jack Whitehall for a conversation that starts with a World Cup conspiracy theory and only gets more unhinged from there. Somewhere between the soccer talk and the soul-baring, Jack admits he cried watching Deal or No Deal but worried he wouldn't cry when his daughter was born. They also dive into Jack's infamous Queen Elizabeth joke that sparked outrage across the UK, and the Michael Jackson sketch he prayed wouldn't air. Bill weighs in on surviving cancel culture, Woody Harrelson's legendary hangouts, the Beatles, dating before smartphones, and why comedians often find it easier to perform than to actually be themselves.

“I want someone who has regrets. I want someone who's learned the hard way. I want someone who understands that life is made of those messy compromises.” — Joel Christensen on the Odysseus he hopes to see in Matt Damon Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is out — the controversial movie of the year, much of the controversy raging before anyone had seen a frame. So, before either of us had seen the epic, I talked to the CUNY classicist Joel Christensen, author of the timely Why Odysseus? Survivor, Scoundrel, (Anti)hero. What, I asked Christensen, did he most dread about Hollywood's treatment of his beloved Odyssey? His answer: a hero too noble to be interesting. The Odysseus of the epic is a survivor, a scoundrel, an antihero — the master sergeant who does what needs to be done, from engineering the Trojan Horse to making sure Hector's infant son doesn't survive it. Christensen's worry about Matt Damon came down to one word: too likeable. What he wanted instead was a man with regrets — De Niro in Raging Bull rather than anybody noble. So did Christensen get the Odysseus he wanted? Below is his review, written after seeing the film when it came out. Postscript: Joel Christensen's Verdict on the Film Nolan's Odyssey is not Homer's Odyssey. This should be clear to anyone. Nolan faced an almost impossible task well: ancient audiences knew the story already. Modern audiences do not, so he created a ring structure with the beginning union of Penelope and Odysseus anticipating the reunion at the end, also introducing plot elements like the dog Argos and the pin by which Penelope will recognize Odysseus. The film is not Homer. Homer's power is poetry; the film's is image. Some of the images are striking: the scene when Circe turns his men into animals is the most arresting in the whole movie, showing everything that can be done with visceral imagery and a slight adaptation (Circe here is a survivor of sexual assault). The changes made to the plot such as omitting the Phaeacians, Nestor, Laertes, the bed and more are not as jarring as some of the general decisions. Calling “Zeus' Law” “do unto others…” makes an understandable translation to a Christian context, but it is somewhat nonsensical for Homer. Depicting a mutilated Helen is a strange decision that I am struggling with. What the movie gets right is making humans responsible for their own suffering. In a novel take on Odysseus as a traumatized warrior, the hero spends seven years with Calypso eating Lotus to forget the loss of his men. Damon, too likeable, regrets the trick of the Trojan Horse after witnessing the slaughter during the sack of Troy. We find out as well that the “sea people” from history, bringing an end to the “civilization” are actually the Greeks returning from the Trojan War and suffering for the transgressions they committed there. Is this ending an echo of Zeus' plan to end the race of heroes in the Trojan War? Is it an allegory for our civilizational collapse in the future thanks to technology, environmental catastrophe, and fascism? Any potential social critique dissipates with the movie's end. The traumatized veteran turns out to be merciful and kills only some of the suitors, showing many mercy. Then, guilty of violating “Zeus' Law”, Odysseus happily goes into exile with Penelope, leaving Telemachus to be king. There's no way to make Homer's Odyssey into a film and convey all its ambiguity and depth. That would be an unfair expectation. Nolan's film is a compelling spectacle and it makes me wonder more about how it reflects who we are as an audience. Do we need the hero to be ultimately good, even if he messed up? Are we so simple that we need to hear about Zeus' Law and the Sea People so repetitively? I fear that in this age where fiction and fact are so hard to disentangle, that we long for narratives that are just simpler. We don't get the Odyssey we want; we get the one we deserve. Five Takeaways • A Complicated Man: The Translation Problem. Every word of Homer carries echoes no English can hold, and the fights over Nolan's dialogue replay the fights over translation. Emily Wilson detonated a controversy by rendering polytropos — poly, many; tropos, turn — as “a complicated man,” alluding at once to Odysseus's travels and the many forms of his character; Daniel Mendelsohn's “man of roundabout ways” does the work too, if you can stop thinking about rotaries. Even the objection to Tom Holland's Telemachus saying “dad” collapses on inspection: Telemachus uses the colloquial form in Homer. And the “authentic” dialect purists want was an artificial amalgam that no ancient Greek ever spoke. • The Culture Wars Come for Homer. Nobody remembers a brouhaha over Wolfgang Petersen's Troy — a pretty bad movie, Christensen notes — but Nolan's Odyssey generates more controversy than a scholar can track daily. Lupita Nyong'o's Helen is attacked as inauthentic by one side and as cultural appropriation by the other; since 2015, classicists have watched the Western tradition weaponized by the alt-right while their own field argues about who owns it. Christensen's advice channels the epic itself: between Scylla and Charybdis, take Scylla. You'll lose six men. The alternative is losing the ship — and if the story doesn't persuade in three hours, nobody will remember the armor anyway. • The Valence of Violence. Modern audiences are more accustomed to represented violence than any in history — you don't need Natural Born Killers when Twitter serves unverifiable clips from Gaza and Iran. The question Christensen brings to the film is what the violence is for. Uberto Pasolini's The Return gave Ralph Fiennes's Odysseus a steady, untroubled thump of arrows; the epic's own slaughter of the suitors, read closely, approaches Tarantino-adjacent parody. And the hardest tests are the atrocities the adaptations always cut: the mutilation of the goatherd Melanthius, and Telemachus hanging the enslaved women. Does the violence glorify the hero — or show what even the best of us are capable of? • Keep Penelope Ambiguous. The great interpretive question of the Odyssey is when Penelope knows the beggar is her husband — the suitors, dead in the underworld, are convinced she was in on it all along. The epic grants her remarkable intelligence and agency, then reins it in: Agamemnon's ghost praises her by way of insulting all women, and she vanishes from the text. Christensen's advice to Nolan wouldn't be Margaret Atwood's Penelopiad, which centers the women's voices; it would be more screen time and total ambiguity — no access to her mind, a wife who matches her husband in wits and may even have outwitted him. Though based on Nolan's arc, he doubts we'll get a woman at the center. • Survivor, Scoundrel, (Anti)hero. Christensen's worry about Matt Damon was simple: too likable. Odysseus is the master sergeant — the one who takes the hard orders, tricks Achilles into the war, engineers the Horse, and makes sure Hector's infant son doesn't survive to rebuild Troy. The ancient hero is neither good nor ...
On this video and/or audio episode of the podcast Phillip is joined once again by friend, movie lover, and the man who runs Cinema Force on YouTube and Instagram, Erik Clapp. The two start the show by talking about the general information about the movie with some trivia sprinkled in. It's then time for Listener' Opinions from Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Then Phillip and Erik talk about Cannon for Cordoba from 1970 directed by Paul Wendkos and starring George Peppard. (Erik actually has a video essay on the new blu-ray from Imprint films.) It's a great discussion. They then answer the question of whether they noticed anything from the movie that Tarantino might have liked or used in a film. Then they individually rate the movie. Phillip and Erik then talk about whether they would buy this movie, rent it, or find it for free. It's then time for Phil's Film Favorite of the Week; Network (1976). Erik then recommends Masters of the Universe (2026). Phillip then promotes next week's show where he will be joined by the original co-host of the podcast and his cousin, Chip Reeves to talk about Lone Wolf McQuade (1983). Thanks for watching and/or listening.
Chegamos no CineYur 40 e decidimos transformar dois diretores chamados Quentin num campeonato de filmografia.Quentin Tarantino vs Quentin Dupieux.O episódio inteiro funciona assim.Criamos 3 rounds.No primeiro, os filmes se enfrentam por ordem cronológica. Primeiro filme contra primeiro filme, segundo contra segundo e por aí vai. Então vira coisas como Reservoir Dogs vs Steak, Pulp Fiction vs Rubber, Jackie Brown vs Wrong.No segundo round, os filmes são comparados pela função dentro da carreira de cada diretor. O filme que consolidou a identidade do autor. O mais agressivo visualmente. O mais obcecado por identidade. O mais autoconsciente. O mais claustrofóbico.E em algum momento a gente percebeu que estava discutindo The Hateful Eight vs Yannick como se isso fosse completamente normal.No terceiro round a conversa vira quase uma discussão sobre o que realmente importa no cinema.Melhor filme absoluto. Melhor roteiro. Originalidade. Personagens. Técnica. Impacto. Reassistibilidade.Cada categoria vale ponto. Vitória vale um. Empate vale meio.Só que depois de um tempo o placar começa a importar menos que a diferença entre os dois diretores.O Tarantino parece alguém tentando transformar cinema em mito moderno.O Dupieux parece alguém tentando descobrir até onde ainda dá pra brincar com um filme.E talvez o episódio tenha acabado ficando exatamente sobre isso.

We're diving deep into "The Long Goodbye," a flick that flips the classic noir on its head, starring the ever-cool Elliott Gould as Philip Marlowe. This episode is all about how Marlowe, a man totally out of time, navigates the wild, weird world of 70s LA, grappling with loyalty, betrayal, and his own cat's demands. We chat about the brilliant Robert Altman and how this film's vibes have influenced a ton of modern cinema, from Tarantino to Anderson. Plus, there's some serious banter on the film's quirky characters and the absurdity of Marlowe's escapades, like trying to get cat food at 3 AM.

EP. 651 SPEAK YO MIND RADIO So, if you're a fan of powerful storytelling and social commentary, check out “One Spoon of Chocolate.” It's directed by The RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan and presented by Quentin Tarantino. The story follows Unique, a military veteran and former inmate trying to rebuild his life in a small town. When his cousin goes missing, he uncovers a disturbing conspiracy involving gangs and corrupt law enforcement. It's gritty, intense, and thoughtful. People should see it for the strong performances, the very real social themes, and RZA's signature style. Have you seen it yet? I'm happy to share thoughts spoiler-free.

Bill Maher welcomes media mogul Byron Allen to Club Random for one of the most remarkable origin stories you'll hear all year. Long before building a multibillion-dollar media empire, Byron was a 14-year-old kid hanging around NBC, studying Johnny Carson like it was graduate school and writing jokes for Jimmie Walker alongside young comics named Jay Leno and David Letterman. Bill and Byron trade stories about Carson, the Comedy Store, Hollywood in the '70s and '80s, early career missteps, and the mentors who changed their lives. Byron explains how his mother's persistence shaped everything he built, why showing up earlier than everyone else became his greatest advantage, and why he still believes health—not money—is the ultimate measure of wealth.

In hour four, is Pulp Fiction the best Tarantino movie? There's some traction gaining around Klay Thompson joining the Heat and we're all for it. Crowder thinks he could take down a full grown bison.
Hawk Rock Talk: Rock Autopsy: Classic Rock One Hit Wonders 1It's Hawk Rock Summer, and Jason Gore and Geoff Garlock are putting on the gloves, grabbing the bone saw, and cracking open the chest cavity of Classic Rock Radio to examine one of its strangest organs: the classic rock one-hit wonder.What even counts as a one-hit wonder in classic rock? Did it have to make the Top 40? Does it count if the song barely charted, but every classic rock station played it eight times a day? Does it count if the band had other hits, but your local station decided, “No thank you, we will only be playing the one with the riff”?Jason and Geoff dig into a playlist of “that song!” bands, the groups whose names you may not know, whose albums you may never have heard, but whose one immortal track has been following you around your whole life through movie trailers, sports arenas, local classic rock stations, beer commercials, jukeboxes, and dads' cars.Along the way, Jason and Geoff discuss Christian fuzz gospel death boogie, LA spirituality, Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe's Seinfeld cup, Mungo holes, proto-metal holes, Paul Carrick's voice, Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street legacy, Tarantino soundtrack brain, Leslie West making a Les Paul look tiny, Arthur Brown as a pre-KISS theatrical freak, Argent records that Geoff keeps buying and selling, KISS's “God Gave Rock and Roll to You II,” and whether Europe should legally be required to play “The Final Countdown” three times per set.This is Part One.

I just got back from Las Vegas, and I'm sharing my favorite vegan food experiences from hidden local gems to restaurants that completely exceeded my expectations.In this episode I talk about incredible spots like Chef Kenny's, Earthly, Tacotarian, Daikon Sushi, Tarantino's, Crossroads, and the all-you-can-eat vegan Korean BBQ experience at Master Kim's. I also explain why I think some of the best vegan food in Vegas is found away from the Strip.In the second half of the episode, I respond to some recurring social media debates, including:• Is sugar vegan?• What does "may contain milk" really mean?• Where's the line between appreciating and appropriating food cultures?• How I approach vegan content while trying to honor the cuisines and creators who inspire me.Whether you're planning a trip to Las Vegas, looking for your next great vegan meal, or interested in thoughtful conversations about vegan food culture, I hope you enjoy the episode.If you like the podcast, don't forget to subscribe, leave a comment, and let me know what topic you'd like me to cover next!Send us Fan Mail

Chef. Filmmaker. Bestselling author. Restaurateur. Streetwear pioneer. Former lawyer. Former drug dealer. There aren't many people who have lived as many lives as Eddie Huang. In one of our favourite conversations ever, Eddie joins us for an unfiltered deep dive into the decisions, failures and moments that shaped one of food's most original voices. This is funny, brutally honest and completely unpredictable.We talk about everything from opening BaoHaus and changing the perception of Taiwanese food in America, to why he fell out of love with restaurants before rediscovering his passion for cooking. Eddie also explains why he believes modern food has become over-styled, why "don't fool people with shrubbery" has become his plating philosophy, and what actually makes a great restaurant in 2026.Away from food, the stories are unbelievable. Eddie reveals how getting fired as a corporate lawyer led him to dealing weed on the streets of New York, promoting comedy nights, building clothing brands and eventually creating the career that made him a cultural icon. He also opens up about the making of Fresh Off the Boat, why he hated the TV adaptation, directing films in Hollywood, and what Quentin Tarantino unknowingly taught him while living across the street.This is Eddie Huang at his absolute best: hilarious, provocative, deeply thoughtful and never afraid to challenge conventional wisdom. Whether you're obsessed with food, fascinated by creativity, or simply love hearing extraordinary life stories from extraordinary people, this is an episode you won't want to miss.Thankyou to the Standard Hotel for hosting us for the recording - you can check out more - https://www.standardhotels.com/BUY TICKETS TO OUR LIVE SHOW HERE ON MONDAY 27TH JULY - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/go-to-food-podcast-live-with-chef-adam-byatt-tickets-1992111901323?aff=oddtdtcreatorYou can book a virtual demonstration with Quooker to find the right setup for your kitchen and remember, until the end of August, if you use the code GO TO FOOD, you'll get free installation and a free Quooker glassware set.

Actress and animal advocate Bo Derek drops by Club Random for a conversation that starts with her breakout role in 10 and ends just about everywhere else. Bo reflects on the whirlwind that made her one of Hollywood's biggest sex symbols, her unconventional life with John Derek, and why fame was never something she actively pursued. From there, Bill and Bo swap stories about Johnny Carson, Marlon Brando, old Hollywood, aging, marriage, beauty, and the strange ways celebrity can reshape a life. They spar over animal welfare, horse racing, and carriage horses before—because it's Club Random—somehow ending up with a plan to spend Christmas in Solvang hunting for hidden gnomes.

We continue the millitary-themed week with a look at Steven Spielberg's Historical Period Drama Quadrilogy: THE COLOR PURPLE, AMISTAD, WAR HORSE & LINCOLN. Is Laurence Fishburne's brief role in The Color Purple actully deserving of more praise? Is Steven one of the few filmmakers that audiences will rewatch one of their disappointments due to the technical brilliance involved? Why are soooo many people jealous of Spielberg when he's been pretty good at not ever smacktalking in return (unlike others like Tarantino)? Is Steven the only guy who makes solid use of all PG, PG-13 and R rated films? Is Lincoln the best non-Spielberg film that Spielberg made to date? Plus, we also illustrate how many important history dramas COULD be captured on film but are often debated due to who's adapting it and if audiences even want to endure that much torturous truths on-screen. GUESTS: Chris Page, Ken Bates, Daniel Ryan, Jon Mark, Dave & Liam (Watch It If You Can), Elliot Serrano, Oreo Brewer & Mike Ensing MUSIC USED: "Dry Your Tears, Afrika" (from Amistad) & "The Reunion" (from War Horse) by John Williams

Two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey drops by Club Random for a conversation that goes exactly where you'd expect—and plenty of places you wouldn't. Bill doesn't let him dodge the tough questions, pressing Spacey on the allegations that derailed his career, the court cases that cleared him, and what it's like trying to rebuild a life from what he calls "show business jail." The two cover Hollywood's double standards, Jack Lemmon's mentorship, therapy, the Playboy Mansion, and Netflix shelving one of Spacey's completed films. Spacey also unveils what feels like an entire repertory company of impressions—Johnny Carson, Jack Lemmon, and more—as the conversation veers into Roman history, classic cinema, Dick Van Dyke's workout routine at 100, and why he thinks his best work may still be ahead of him.

Live from Phoenix Fan Fusion, Olivia and Shauna head a panel to discuss a serious topic with their characteristic dark humor and feminist sass. Womansploitation - using violence against women as entertainment - is found in movies, in television shows, in books, in true crime documentaries and podcasts. Obviously, there is money to be made in victimizing women for the enjoyment of an audience. The Junkies look at the history of this sub-genre, discuss some examples and go into why it's so popular and the effects this has on society. With the help of the audience and research, they ask and answer questions like 'when does depicting violence against women become critique — and when does it become consumption?' and 'is the violence in the story a “narrative necessity” or exploitation?' Olivia and Shauna give examples of movies, TV shows and directors (maybe some of your favorites!) that have been challenged for their use of violence against girls and women. From 'fridging' to final girls to the perfect true crime victim, the Junkies cover the many, many ways women are exploited for entertainment. You can watch the Pop Culture Junkie Podcast on YouTube!

Mark and Professor Mike Dillon discuss the 1996 action-horror film From Dusk Till Dawn.

We're heading to Samoa again with Scott K, host of The Church of Tarantino and Men of Action podcasts, to talk about Hobbs & Shaw! After talking about why Scott claimed Hobbs & Shaw months ago, we hear his (sort of unusual) rankings. We wind up comparing the franchise (and its characters) to Batman and Robin, Halloween III, and Charles Manson -- each of which inspires exciting possibilities for alternate realities. Scott promises to do some Kurt Russell recon for us then discusses what he loves about Hobbs & Shaw -- and where he wishes the movie ended. Joey comes up with a potential reason why Vin Diesel may be so serious in the later movies and wonders: were they trying to set up Eiza Gonzalez's character for a spinoff?

Bill Maher welcomes country music superstar Kenny Chesney to Club Random for a conversation that starts with sold-out stadiums and ends somewhere much deeper. Kenny reflects on his ""hillbilly rock star"" glory days, why he's never canceled a show in nearly three decades, and the bus-ride epiphany that convinced him to stop drinking before performances. He also pulls back the curtain on creating the visuals for his record-breaking Sphere residency. Kenny gushes over Religulous, while Bill tells stories about Larry Flynt's gold wheelchair and Bill Clinton's legendary charm. Then one simple question about legacy cracks the whole conversation wide open: what happens to everything you've built when you don't have kids?

Lisa Kudrow returns to Club Random for a second conversation with Bill Maher, and the Friends star proves once again why she's one of Hollywood's sharpest and most refreshingly un-Hollywood voices.Lisa reflects on The Comeback Season 3, playing a woman the industry keeps underestimating, her years at The Groundlings, and the acting teacher who taught her never to take rejection personally. Bill shares the most humiliating story of his sitcom career, working alongside Sam Kinison as drugs, chaos, and misplaced blame turned the set into a nightmare.The two compare disastrous early drug experiences, debate whether AI will reshape creativity or destroy it, discuss why Hollywood keeps making the same mistakes, and somehow spend ten hilarious minutes dissecting Spartacus.

Visit https://podcastchoices.com/adchoices ABOUT CLUB RANDOM Bill Maher rewrites the rules of podcasting the way he did in television in this series of one on one, hour long conversations with a wide variety of unexpected guests in the undisclosed location called Club Random. There's a whole big world out there that isn't about politics and Bill and his guests—from Bill Burr and Jerry Seinfeld to Jordan Peterson, Quentin Tarantino and Neil DeGrasse Tyson—talk about all of it. For advertising opportunities please email: PodcastPartnerships@Studio71us.com ABOUT BILL MAHER Bill Maher was the host of “Politically Incorrect” (Comedy Central, ABC) from 1993-2002, and for the last fourteen years on HBO's “Real Time,” Maher's combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him 40 Emmy nominations. Maher won his first Emmy in 2014 as executive producer for the HBO series, “VICE.” In October of 2008, this same combination was on display in Maher's uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, “Religulous.” Maher has written five bestsellers: “True Story,” “Does Anybody Have a Problem with That? Politically Incorrect's Greatest Hits,” “When You Ride Alone, You Ride with Bin Laden,” “New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer,” and most recently, “The New New Rules: A Funny Look at How Everybody But Me Has Their Head Up Their Ass.” FOLLOW CLUB RANDOM https://www.clubrandom.com https://www.facebook.com/Club-Random-101776489118185 https://twitter.com/clubrandom_ https://www.instagram.com/clubrandompodcast https://www.tiktok.com/@clubrandompodcast FOLLOW BILL MAHER https://www.billmaher.com https://twitter.com/billmaher https://www.instagram.com/billmaher Learn more about your ad choices.
