Sean and Amanda start the show by covering the major box office success of ‘Chainsaw Man,' reacting to the news that Cinemark is opening myriad new 70 mm IMAX screens across the country, and discussing what it represents for the future of moviegoing (2:00). Then, they deep dive into Kathryn Bigelow's new film, ‘A House of Dynamite,' starring Rebecca Ferguson. They unpack their very complicated feelings by highlighting what they found successful, including a titillating first act and some strong performances, and they address its major flaws, most notably a wild third act that features a deeply unsuccessful performance from Idris Elba (12:59). Finally, Adam Nayman joins the show to discuss Kelly Reichardt's new film, ‘The Mastermind,' starring Josh O'Connor as an outcast loner (1:07:46). They talk about Reichardt's ability to identify this type of character and give credit to her and O'Connor for crafting such a wonderful performance.

Eine atomare Bedrohung, drei Perspektiven, 16 Minuten bis zum Einschlag: A House of Dynamite, der neue Netflix-Thriller von Kathryn Bigelow, entfaltet seine Spannung in einem intensiven Countdown-Szenario. Der Film stellt unbequeme Fragen zur Handlungs(un)fähigkeit politischer Systeme in Extremsituationen – und wird am Ende nicht allen gefallen. In dieser Folge sprechen wir über die erzählerischen Strukturen des Films, seine Nähe zu Klassikern wie Dr. Strangelove, die visuelle Umsetzung von Überforderung und Machtlosigkeit – und den vielleicht mutigsten Schluss des Filmjahres.

This week's Empire Podcast sees Chris Hewitt struggle with the enunciation of one word in particular (you'll have to listen to find out which). Incredibly, it's not 'Howl-o-ween', which is just one of the many things discussed by Chris and his three colleagues of such lethal cunning, Helen O'Hara, James Dyer, and Ben Travis. They get their teeth into movies in which a main character is ill, talk about the shock revelation that Adam Driver and Steven Soderbergh had developed a literal Solo movie for Kylo Ren, and review Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, Nia DaCosta's Hedda, and Kelly Reichardt's The Mastermind. Guest-wise, we have a veritable bounty as Helen has a lovely chat with Nia DaCosta, and Chris talks to Jeremy Strong, star of the Springsteen flick; and has a joyous natter about the end of the world with Rebecca Ferguson and Kathryn Bigelow, star and director respectively of A House Of Dynamite, which is now out on Netflix. No timecodes yet, as the guy who writes this blurb has to leg it to a screening. But they're roughly 23 minutes, one hour and three minutes in, and one hour and 38 minutes in. Enjoy!

From Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty, Point Break) comes her first feature film in in more than eight years and it might very well be THE scariest film of the year. :o The premise is simple: a lone nuclear missile has been launched from somewhere in the Pacific and is on a trajectory to land somewhere in the continental United States....in twenty minutes. This nuclear thriller takes us through the various corridors of power of the governernment and those in the most responsive positions in the military - we watch as they scramble not only how to figure out how to prevent this weapon from hitting its target, but also how our military should respond if it DOES hit its target, possibly resulting in the instant deaths of millions of civilians. It's a terrifying sceanario and Bigelow has assembled a top-flight cast lead by Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, Tracey Letts, Gabriel Basso, Anthony Ramos, Greta Lee, and Jared Harris. The clock is ticking.....Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
P1 Kultur dyker ned i Bruce Springsteens dystra, avskalade album Nebraska från 1982 - en skiva där den amerikanska drömmen blivit en mardröm. Tillblivelsen av Nebraska har blivit film och samtidigt släpps en hel box med tidigare outgiven musik. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. I bioaktuella ”Springsteen: Deliever me from nowhere” ser vi Jeremy Allen White från tv-succén ”The Bear” som ”The Boss”. Det är inte en traditionell biopic om Bruce Springsteens väg till stjärnorna, utan filmen zoomar in på tillblivelsen av det avskalade albumet ”Nebraska”, där den amerikanska drömmen blivit en mardröm. Som en novellsamling om människor i samhällets utkant, utan skyddsnät, desperata och våldsamma... På jakt efter hopp i en till synes hopplös situation. Med oss för att prata om musiken - och filmen - har vi musikjournalisten Markus Larsson från Aftonbladet och frilansjournalisten Klara Grape, båda stora Springsteen-entusiaster.VAD SÄGER EGENTLIGEN BIOSUCCÉN ”ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER” OM VÅR TID?Etta på biotoppen ligger Paul Thomas Andersons epos ”One Battle after another”, med bland andra Leonardi Di Caprio, Benicio Del Toro och Sean Penn. Filmen om revolutionära vänsteraktivister som jagas av högerextrema militärer har kramats sönder av filmkritikerna, men samtidigt fått kritik för att vara vänsteraktivist-propaganda och ”woke shit”. Men vad är det egentligen för bild av USA som filmen målar upp? Hör våra medarbetare Emma Engström och Roger Wilson. REBECCA FERGUSON STÅR INFÖR KÄRNVAPENKRIGET PÅ NETFLIXThrillern ”A House of Dynamite” handlar om Vita Husets personal som kämpar med ett förestående robotanfall riktat mot USA. Filmen är regisserad av Kathryn Bigelow, med manus av Noah Oppenheim, och med svenska Rebecca Ferguson i en av huvudrollerna. Roger Wilson har sett den.KLASSIKERN: MALTE LAURIDS BRIGGE – RILKES RASTLÖSA ROMAN”Malte Laurids Brigges anteckningar” är en tunn roman utan egentlig handling som kom ut 1910.

Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture For this week's third podcast review, Josh Parham and Giovanni Lago join me to review and discuss the latest film from Kathryn Bigelow, "A House Of Dynamite," starring Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, Gabriel Basso, Jared Harris, Tracy Letts, Anthony Ramos, Moses Ingram, Jonah Hauer-King, Greta Lee, and Jason Clarke. The plot follows the U.S. government navigating an official response to a single nuclear missile launched by an unidentified enemy. It's presented in a terrifyingly realistic manner that wants to encourage more thoughtful discussion surrounding nuclear weapons, but its three-act "Rashomon" inspired narrative structure and divisive ending have audiences perhaps thinking about other elements than what was intended since its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival. What did we think of it?

Kathryn Bigelow - the first woman who won the Best Director OSCAR at the Academy Awards - is back to deliver us her latest tense thriller... but on Netflix. Bigelow's films have had a big impact on me as a film fan since I was an early teen and I've been waiting years for her to finally make a new movie. I - thank god - had the opportunity to see A House of Dynamite in cinemas last week, with it currently running a select cinemas release in the lead-up to it's drop on Netflix on October 24th. This movie's been garnering pretty rave reviews since the it's premiere at the Venice Film Festival... but I'm coming in pretty hot with a slightly controversial opinion on one of Netflix's biggest awards contenders for 2025.

Ja, Netflix produziert viel Schund, aber es gibt auch Filme, an die sich nur wenige heranwagen würden: A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE von Kathryn Bigelow ist so einer. Das Szenario ist so simpel wie bedrückend: Eine Nuklearrakete wurde irgendwo im Meer gezündet und soll in 19 Minuten in Chicago aufprallen. Im Situation Room im Weißen Haus, auf dem Sonderkommandoposten und an anderen strategischen Außenstellen kommen alle zusammen. Der Präsident ist sofort am Telefon, der Verteidigungsminister ebenso wie ein Netzwerk von Generälen und Experten. Telefonate, Videoschalten, Funksprüche ergeben ein dichtes Kommunikationsnetz. Bigelow zeigt uns, wie gut das System funktioniert, wie präzise die Tausend Mal geprobten Schritte nun ausgeführt werden, wie verantwortungsvoll fast alle Figuren sind, allein: Es hilft nichts. Die atomare Aufrüstung hat in ein Dilemma geführt, führt uns das fabelhafte Drehbuch von Noah Oppenheim vor und zeigen uns die Gesichter von Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, Gabriel Basso, Jared Harris, Tracy Letts und vielen weiteren.

This week on The Rotten Horror Picture Show Podcast, Clay and Amanda are tackling a film that might just be the most confusing sequel in horror history: Mike Flanagan's Doctor Sleep (2019). Now, don't get me wrong — it's a solid, spooky ride with Ewan McGregor as an older Danny Torrance, still haunted by the Overlook and trying to cope with his powers. But here's the thing: is this a sequel to *The Shining* the book? Or *The Shining* the movie? Or some strange in-between hybrid stitched together with ghostly typewriters and whiskey breath? Because I swear, every time I try to explain it to someone, I feel like I need a chalkboard, some red string, and a shot of bourbon.On the one hand, Doctor Sleep is based on Stephen King's novel of the same name, which itself was written as a direct sequel to his original Shining book. That means we're supposed to be following King's continuity — the one where the Overlook Hotel burned to the ground at the end. But on the other hand, Flanagan clearly loves Kubrick's *film*, and he goes out of his way to make *Doctor Sleep* visually and tonally connect to that version. Which means the Overlook is still standing, the carpet patterns are back, and suddenly it feels like we're living in a cinematic multiverse before Marvel made it cool.Clay and Amanda dive into all this messy, fascinating crossover territory — breaking down how Flanagan managed to honor both King and Kubrick, while still creating something that stands on its own. They'll also talk about Rebecca Ferguson's terrifyingly charismatic performance as Rose the Hat, creepy steam-slurping cults, and what happens when childhood trauma grows up with you.Me?

We present our comparison of Hercules: The Thracian Wars to Hercules the 2014 movie starring Dwayne Johnson! Hercules is a Radical Comics character who has appeared in two limited series, The Thracian Wars and The Knives of Kush, both written by Steve Moore with Cris Bolsin as the artist. The Jim Steranko "Hercules" from the cover of the first issue is also featured in solid bronze as the first in the Radical Toyz product line. Radical Toyz commissioned sculptor Chris Ingram to bring to life the art that represents Radical's flagship title.The story takes place in barbarian Thrace, in Northern Greece. Hercules and his companions are hired by the Thracian king, Cotys, to train the Thracian army into one that excels in ruthlessness.Hercules is a 2014 American action-adventure fantasy film directed by Brett Ratner from a screenplay by Ryan J. Condal and Evan Spiliotopoulos. It stars Dwayne Johnson as Hercules, a self-proclaimed demigod who is hired to lead the armies of Thrace into battle against a warlord. Ian McShane, Rebecca Ferguson, Rufus Sewell, Joseph Fiennes, Peter Mullan, and John Hurt also star. The film is based on Steve Moore's graphic novel Hercules, specifically the limited series The Thracian Wars.Hercules was released by Paramount Pictures on July 25, 2014.It was one of two Hollywood-studio Hercules films released in 2014, the other being Lionsgate's The Legend of Hercules. The film became a box office success, earning $244 million on a $100 million budget, and received mixed reviews from critics, with some praise for Johnson's performance and the action sequences, though the screenplay and plot received criticism.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! This week we're hanging off helicopters, sprinting across rooftops, and disarming nuclear bombs with the pulse-pounding Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018). Strap in as we break down the sixth entry in the franchise that somehow keeps getting better with age — just like Tom Cruise's running form.Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, Fallout is a masterclass in high-octane action, espionage, and what happens when your best-laid plans go completely off the rails. Picking up where Rogue Nation left off, the film follows IMF agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) as he races to recover stolen plutonium and prevent a global catastrophe, all while being shadowed by CIA operative August Walker (a moustachioed Henry Cavill in full-blown hammer-mode).Mission: Impossible – Fallout is everything you want from a blockbuster: smart, stylish, and absurdly entertaining. It's the kind of movie that reminds you why the cinema was invented — big screen thrills, practical effects, and heroes just trying to do the right thing, even when the odds are impossible.Perfect for older teens and up, it's a great gateway to the M:I franchise or a highlight for returning fans. Just be warned — you may find yourself trying to reload your arms like Cavill afterwards.An action film operating at the absolute peak of its powers, Fallout proves that this franchise isn't slowing down anytime soon. In fact, it might just be the best of the bunch.

This week on Born to Watch, we're heading to the desert planet of Arrakis to break down one of the biggest sci-fi epics of recent memory in Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part One Review. Join Whitey and Sir Dimmy of the House Cockburn as they unpack a film that's equal parts galactic power struggle, political thriller, and interstellar fever dream.Villeneuve's Dune had a lot riding on it. Announced in 2017 and delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, it finally arrived in 2021 with both cinema and HBO Max releases. But did it live up to the hype? Was the spice worth the squeeze? Whitey and Sir Dimmy get stuck into the sandstorm of ambition, adaptation, and a whole lot of Zimmer.From the very start, the duo agree, this film demands the big screen. Whitey confesses to watching it via a sneaky early online drop and instantly regretting not experiencing it in the cinema. For Dimmy, it was love at first IMAX. There's a reverence for the visuals, the grandeur, and the world-building that marks Dune as a rare modern blockbuster that dares to go deep.But this isn't a dry academic analysis. This is Born to Watch, where film critique meets pub banter. That means serious praise for Hans Zimmer's thunderous, Oscar-winning score, though we do wonder if the music sometimes overshadows the movie. The team marvels at the film's scale: the ornithopters, the wormsign, the sand-soaked vistas. Arrakis feels real. The political scheming feels Shakespearean. The voice feels like Jedi mind tricks on steroids.Naturally, the cast gets a full once-over. Timothée Chalamet is dubbed a “scrawny action hero” who somehow works as Paul Atreides. Rebecca Ferguson as Lady Jessica earns the nickname “Freckles Ferguson” and delivers the emotional heft of the film, tears, telepathy, and total commitment. Jason Momoa's Duncan Idaho is everyone's space-dad crush, and Stellan Skarsgård's floating, grotesque Baron Harkonnen might just be the scariest slug in cinema history.And then there's Zendaya. Or… is there? While her face is plastered across posters, trailers, and marketing campaigns, she's in the actual film for about 10 minutes, and that's being generous. Sir Dimmy and Whitey don't hold back, calling it one of the greatest bait-and-switches in recent memory. She's Paul's “blue-eyed wet dream,” more vision than character, and it all but guarantees the necessity of a sequel.The discussion also gets into the film's legacy. Is Dune the sci-fi blueprint that inspired Star Wars? Without question. From the Force-like Voice to desert-dwelling mystics and chosen one arcs, Herbert's fingerprints are all over modern sci-fi. Villeneuve's version just finally gives the novel the serious treatment it deserves, after the messy (but charmingly weird) David Lynch version in 1984 and a forgettable miniseries.Of course, Born to Watch being Born to Watch, there are plenty of detours. There's debate over whether Duncan Idaho could survive in the Game of Thrones universe. There's talk of Dutch ovens, nose jobs, and the possibility of casting Mr. T as the Reverend Mother. At one point, the podcast veers into a philosophical wormhole involving one-name celebrities like Sting, Prince, and, of course, Zendaya. The House Cockburn coat of arms even gets a shoutout, shielded by fire, flanked by two swords in the shape of appendages. You really had to be there.Despite a few gripes, underexplained lore, a traitorous doctor's paper-thin logic, and the slightly sluggish pacing, Whitey and Sir Dimmy are all in on Dune. It's a film that dares to take itself seriously. No snark, no winks. Just grand, immersive sci-fi storytelling. It may not be everyone's flavour of spice, but it's a feast for those who want their blockbusters with brains.As the credits roll and the sand settles, one thing is clear: this is only part one. And Born to Watch will be there when part two drops, with fresher takes, deeper dives, and possibly more Zendaya.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts!Join the conversation: Is Dune a sci-fi masterpiece or a high-concept snooze? Was Zendaya's screen time the greatest bait-and-switch ever? Would YOU ride a sandworm into battle?Please drop us a voicemail at BornToWatch.com.au and be part of the show!#BornToWatch #Dune2021 #DenisVilleneuve #TimotheeChalamet #SpiceMustFlow #MoviePodcast #FilmReview #SciFiCinema #Zendaya #HansZimmer #MovieNerds #FilmTalk #PopCultureBreakdown #HouseCockburn #BlueEyedWetDreams #JasonMomoa #RebeccaFerguson

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay light the fuse for a special Cruisemas edition of the podcast as they discuss one of the greatest action movies of all-time, 'Mission: Impossible - Fallout.' Bombay jumps into action by remembering a time when a gorgeous girl hit him with a surprisingly hard kiss, reminiscent of Vanessa Kirby grabbing Ethan Hunt. Then Andy recalls utilizing MoviePass when this was in theater and seeing this flick countless times while being unemployed — and severely under the influence. Then the fellas chat about this instant classic, and make a motion for 'Fallout' to not only be taught in every classroom, but to be requisite viewing for all children across America. This leads to discussing their favorite action set pieces, and having difficulty deciding between the HALO jump, the inner city motorcycle chase, and the bonkers helicopter flight chase sequence. Choosing between those is almost as difficult as the game of Marry, Marry, Marry between the enchanting lightly-freckled trio of Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, and Michelle Monaghan. Simon Pegg's franchise-best comedic chops get some love, as do Ving Rhames' hats. Even Henry Cavill finds his calling as a mustachioed heavy, who can't comprehend why Cruise's Hunt won't just die. Of course, it's all held together by cinema's savior who made the ultimate sacrifice by breaking his ankle Jackie Chan 'Rumble in the Bronx'-style when he jumped out of a window for our entertainment. The greater the suffering, the greater the podcast. Merry Cruisemas to all!
The Cinematography Podcast Episode 310: Baz Irvine, BSC, ISC The second season of Silo on Apple TV+ is a dramatic visual departure from its predecessor, and cinematographer Baz Irvine, BSC, ISC is at the helm of this transformation. From the very first episode, as Juliette (Rebecca Ferguson) ventures into the seemingly deserted Silo 17, viewers are plunged into a progressively darker and more uncertain world. "I think the biggest challenge for Silo 17 was that, at first, it had to appear to be lifeless, but it wasn't," explains Baz. "It had to feel familiar but different; it had to definitely feel slightly terrifying. When I read the script, it said very specifically the whole silo was in darkness. Of course, there are different types of darkness. Movie darkness is very different from real darkness.” Establishing the distinct look of the shut-down silo was very important. Baz and the production team wanted a more realistic and immersive experience in Season 2, as if viewers were right there alongside the characters. Their vision included creating a culturally distinct look for Silo 17 compared to Juliette's home, Silo 18, incorporating colorful murals and varied textures now falling into decay. As nature reclaims the failing structure, emergency lighting flickers throughout, casting an eerie greenish glow from beneath encroaching moss and vegetation. Lighting Juliette's perilous journey was a key consideration. Baz conducted numerous lighting tests, and was able to request that Juliette find a functional flashlight in the script. He knew it was important to keep Ferguson's face illuminated amidst the gloom. “There's no way I'm gonna put Rebecca Ferguson through corridors and stairwells without having some detail on her face,” he commented. Baz used a range of lighting techniques, including balloons, silk, and a specially crafted soft pipelight wrapped in muslin for gentle top lighting, which added a subtle glow to her skin and a vital light to her eyes. The cinematography in Silo also serves as a visual metaphor for its rigid social hierarchy. Economics and politics in Silo is always from the top down, and both the lighting and camera movement on the show reflect this. In Silo 18, the upper levels are characterized by brighter lighting, benefiting from more access to what little sunlight penetrates the underground city. Tim Robbins' character, Bernard, as the new mayor consolidating control, is consistently bathed in light. This hierarchy in Silo extends to camera movement as well. The down-deep sections of Silo 18 utilize handheld cameras for a grittier, more immediate feel, while the upper levels are depicted with more elegant, slower crane movements, reflecting the contrasting lifestyles and power dynamics. For Season 2, the camera department maintained the same camera bodies but opted for different lenses. Baz made the deliberate choice to move away from anamorphic lenses, selecting wider lenses that require minimal focus. He adds, "Because everything is vertical in Silo, the biggest challenge as a cinematographer was constantly keeping in mind what's above and below the frame." A significant and challenging new element for season 2 involved extensive underwater sequences. The crew constructed their own specialized tanks for filming. Baz considered using dry for wet techniques, simulating underwater conditions on a dry set, but it would be challenging and expensive to add special effects to make it look as though her hair was floating underwater. They did use another type of cinema magic to shoot the underwater sequences. "All of the vertical descents into the flooded silo were actually shot horizontally, with the camera turned sideways,” says Baz. Baz found shooting season 2 of Silo to be a great source of creative fulfillment, from crafting the aesthetic of Silo 17 and tackling the ambitious underwater scenes. “I've been really lucky that I've been doing my best work at a time when we have got suc...
