Join Matt and me for Episode 134 as we tackle A Chorus Line (1985), a movie musical that boldly asked, “What if we took a Broadway masterpiece… and made it worse?” Directed by Richard Attenborough (yes, really) and starring Michael Douglas as Zach (also… yes, really), this adaptation swaps out two iconic songs for original numbers that absolutely no one asked for—and makes the whole thing feel more like an 80s street dance audition than a tribute to Broadway's beating heart.Gone is the original choreography. Gone is the emotional depth. What's left? Perms, sweatbands, and a lot of bewildered sighing from us. We break down the baffling choices, the missed opportunities, and why this one might just top our list of “what were they thinking?” movie musicals.Support the Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:https://www.patreon.com/ConnerandSmith?utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan

Dennis is joined via Zoom by author and sex worker David Wichman to talk about his new book The Four Rooms: An Inqueery On Sexual Freedom and Well-Being. David talks about why he wanted to write the book, the struggles he faced along the way to publishing it and how, once it was finished, he delighted in having AI read it to him in the plummy British voice of actor-director Richard Attenborough. David also talks about why he calls his book "a non-self help book," and how he tries in his writing and his sex work to create a place where gay men can take down their armor. Other topics include: being intentionally smiley in bathhouses and sex clubs, the sacredness of gay divas like Madonna and Kylie Minogue, hearing from fans of his sexual videos from places where being gay is illegal like Syria, being a superfan of Florence + The Machine, why he doesn't have an arrogant guru vibe, what his many exotic travel adventures have taught him about America, digging deep to write his previous book, the memoir Every Grain of Sand and how Stevie Nicks saved his life. www.davidsworld.me
Mit Jurassic Park beginnt 1993 endgültig der Siegeszug computergenerierter Effekte in Hollywood. Steven Spielberg verfilmt Michael Crichtons Roman und die (Kinder-)Welt ist im Dinofieber. Immer noch ein Meilenstein der Kinogeschichte.
Todos llevamos máscaras en esta vida para intentar ocultar aquella realidad de nosotros que nos disgusta. Algunos aparentan autosuficiencia, otros buscan compasión. Unos se esconden bajo una supuesta frialdad intelectual, otros bajo un aspecto físico, o una pretendida indiferencia. Y hay quien ha desarrollado tal esquizofrenia que asume un papel diferente, según dónde o con quién se encuentre. Ciento veinticinco años después, el personaje que se hizo Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) se sigue confundiendo con su persona. Cuando comienza a trabajar en un periódico de Kansas City, Hemingway deja de ir a la iglesia, a pesar de las recriminaciones de su madre. Comienza a escribir relatos y disfruta de la pesca, pero está obsesionado con su virilidad –siempre cuestionada por una madre que le viste de niña, como si fuera gemelo de su hermana Marcelline, mientras trata a su marido como un pelele–. El escritor intenta alejarse de ella, pero cuando tiene problemas, vuelve constantemente a buscar su ayuda, como hacía con otras figuras maternales a lo largo de su vida. Hemingway se marcha voluntario a Italia con la Cruz Roja en la Primera Guerra Mundial. Allí tiene un desengaño sentimental con una enfermera en un hospital de Milán –como los protagonistas de "Adiós a las armas"–, cuando es ingresado por una herida de mortero. En casa es recibido como un héroe, pero acaba exagerando tanto lo que allí pasó, que cuesta ya distinguir las mentiras de la realidad. No tardará en abandonar el Oak Park de su infancia, pero Oak Park nunca le abandonará a él. En este programa de radio "Al Trasluz" escuchamos fragmentos del libro "Adiós a las armas", leído por Eugenio Barona, así como escenas de la película de Richard Attenborough, "En el amor y la guerra" (1986), sobre los años de juventud del escritor. Las canciones que acompañan el relato tienen, todas ellas, relación con la historia. Cita a Hemingway: el cantante británico Chris De Burgh, nacido en Argentina y nacionalizado irlandés (It´s Me - An I´m Ready To Go 1997); la cantante de country Juice Newton (I´m Dancing As Fast As I Can 1982); así como la neoyorquina Lana del Rey (Religion 2015). La música que suena de fondo son de las bandas sonoras de la película "En el amor y la guerra" por George Fenton y la miniserie de televisión de HBO sobre Hemingway y su esposa Martha Gellhorn por Javier Navarrete, así como la suite dedicada al escritor por Bill Lorraine. El diseño sonoro, la realización y las mezclas son de Daniel Panduro, el texto y la narración de José de Segovia.
Michael and Rob welcome Jeff Somogyi to talk about Les Mayfield's remake of Miracle on 24th Street, starring Mara Wilson, Richard Attenborough, Elizabeth Perkins, and Dylan McDermott. We have differing opinions about its quality. How much does it makes sense? How does it compare to the original? And how well does it communicate its ideas about faith, truth, and capitalism? We get into all of it in this funny, thought-provoking conversation.

This week on THE MOVIE CONNECTION: KC Watched: "MIRACLE ON 34th STREET" (7:01) (Directed by, Les Mayfield. Starring, Mara Wilson, Richard Attenborough, Elizabeth Perkins..."

This year's October theme is Sam Neilloween! We'll be going deep on one of the most underrated and fearless actors of modern cinema, watching only Sam Neill-starring films all month.

Ben, Greg, Kyle, Lyndsey, and Ray discuss Neill's biggest film, the 1993 Steven Spielberg blockbuster that set a new standard for special effects in film (and also has that weird laugh that Jeff Goldblum does).

Sean Comer and Mark Radulich review movies currently on streaming services and in theaters: Stan and Ollie/Chaplin/Judy Movie Review! First up is Stan and Ollie (2018). Then we move on to Chaplin (1992). Finally we review Judy (2019).Stan & Ollie is a 2018 biographical comedy-drama film directed by Jon S. Baird. The script, written by Jeff Pope, was inspired by Laurel and Hardy: The British Tours by A.J. Marriot which chronicled the later years of the comedy double act Laurel and Hardy; the film stars Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly as Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. The film focuses on details of the comedy duo's personal relationship while relating how they embarked on a gruelling music hall tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland during 1953 and struggled to get another film made.The film premiered on 21 October 2018 at the closing night gala of the BFI London Film Festival. It was released in the United States on 28 December 2018 and in the United Kingdom on 11 January 2019. At the 76th Golden Globe Awards, Reilly was nominated for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, and at the 72nd British Academy Film Awards the film earned three nominations, including Best British Film and Best Actor in a Leading Role for Coogan.Chaplin is a 1992 biographical comedy-drama film about the life of English comic actor and filmmaker Charlie Chaplin. It was produced and directed by Richard Attenborough and stars Robert Downey Jr., Marisa Tomei, Dan Aykroyd, Penelope Ann Miller and Kevin Kline. It also features Charlie Chaplin's own daughter, Geraldine Chaplin, in the role of his mother, Hannah Chaplin.The film underperformed at the box office, grossing $12 million against a $31 million budget, and received mixed reviews from critics; Downey's titular performance, however, garnered critical acclaim and won him the BAFTA Award for Best Actor along with nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actor and Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama.Judy is a 2019 biographical drama film based on the life of American entertainer Judy Garland. Directed by Rupert Goold, it is an adaptation of the Olivier- and Tony-nominated West End and Broadway play End of the Rainbow by Peter Quilter. The film stars Renée Zellweger, Jessie Buckley, Finn Wittrock, Rufus Sewell, and Michael Gambon.The film follows Garland's career during the last year of her life, when she relocated her stage career to England, coupled with flashbacks of her childhood, most prominently the shooting of her part as Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz (1939), her most famous film role. After some initial success in a run of sell-out concerts at the Talk of the Town in London, her efforts eventually stop making progress and even start to worsen as her health deteriorates.Judy premiered at the 46th Telluride Film Festival on 30 August 2019, and was released in the United States on 27 September 2019, and in the United Kingdom on 2 October 2019. The film received generally positive reviews, with Zellweger's performance garnering widespread acclaim.

We spent a recorded hour with esteemed journalist and editor Perry Garfinkle, author of the bestselling Buddha or Bust and the recently published Becoming Gandhi. Perry spoke of his quest to find morality in Gandhi's life and work and Gandhi's six principles and the differences between being and becoming – the latter presupposing the infinite in practice. Perry spoke of the Mahatma's lack of understanding of his own sexuality as well as his belief in goodness, which Perry labeled "pollyannaish." He was able to mix criticism of Gandhi and his principles, including naivete about social violence in man's nature and less sophistication in Gandhi than in the Buddha, with high respect for Gandhi's deep understanding of human suffering and the need for compassion and empathy with an enduring belief in passive resistance as a means to change. Perry spoke of religious differences in India and Gandhi's letters to Hitler, which went unanswered, and the media's overplay of an incident involving the Dali Lama, who wrote the Foreword to Perry's book, and a young boy. Michael and Perry also discuss the efficacy in today's world of passive resistance and links to Thoreau and Martin Luther King, as well as fasting and the impact of Richard Attenborough's famous film about the Mahatma and the Mahatma's essential twin pillars of truth and non-violence. Perry concluded by calling himself a cynic by profession but one who felt heartened as a result of being changed by studying Gandhi and striving to be "Perry 2.0."
Volvemos a la carga con una segunda temporada que no nos ha pedido nadie y la estrenamos con Jurassic Park (que no Parque Jurásico). En este episodio, hablamos de talones de dinosaurios hechos a escala, la falta de interés de Steven Spielberg por la conciencia espacial, y aquella vez que Dani conoció al gran director y no se hizo caca en el momento pero después sí. Oscar defiende apasionadamente al abogado que abandona a los niños a su suerte ante un tiranosaurio, y repite mucho la palabra “capitalismo”. Hay confusión general sobre la Era Mesozoica. Año: 1993. Duración: 2h 7min. Dirección: Steven Spielberg. Guión: Michael Crichton, David Koepp. Reparto: Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough. Sinopsis Para Gente Normal: Gracias al ADN fosilizado en ámbar, John Hammond da vida a varias especies de dinosaurios y crea Jurassic Park, un parque temático en una isla de Costa Rica. Pero lo que parecía un sueño se convierte rápidamente en pesadilla.

This episode we are covering the 1993 blockbuster Jurassic Park! Of course we talk about our favourite dinosaurs, but we also discuss the movie's multi-genre approach to the blockbuster, the casting choices, the ethics of genetic manipulation, bare-chested Jeff Goldblum, and more! I Love This You Should Too is hosted by Samantha & Indy Randhawa Jurassic Park is a 1993 American science fiction action film directed by Steven Spielberg, produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Gerald R. Molen, and starring Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Richard Attenborough. It is the first installment in the Jurassic Park franchise, and the first film in the original Jurassic Park trilogy, and is based on Michael Crichton's 1990 novel of the same name, with a screenplay by Crichton and David Koepp. The film is set on the fictional island of Isla Nublar, off Central America's Pacific Coast near Costa Rica, where a wealthy businessman John Hammond (Attenborough), and a team of genetic scientists have created a wildlife park of de-extinct dinosaurs. When industrial sabotage leads to a catastrophic shutdown of the park's power facilities and security precautions, a small group of visitors, including Hammond's grandchildren, struggle to survive and escape the now perilous island.
MDJ Script/ Top Stories for August 29th Publish Date: August 29th Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Thursday, August 29th and Happy heavenly Birthday to actor Richard Attenborough. ***08.29.24 – BIRTHDAY – RICHARD ATTENBOROUGH*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Judge Extends Cobb Judicial Emergency for Another 30 Days Commission Kills ‘Home Rule' Map, Keeps Richardson 1 Injured in Tritt Elementary School Fire Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on fast food. All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: CU of GA STORY 1: Judge Extends Cobb Judicial Emergency for Another 30 Days Chief Judge Gregory Poole has extended the "extraordinary" judicial emergency in Cobb County for 30 more days due to ongoing issues in the Cobb Superior Court Clerk's office, led by Connie Taylor. The emergency, initially declared on August 7, now extends to October 6. The extension addresses severe dysfunction in processing and managing court filings, compounded by a problematic transition from the old CRIS system to the new Icon system. While there has been some progress, issues such as scheduling difficulties, inaccurate notices, and backlog remain. Taylor's office faces staffing shortages and other challenges, with ongoing criticism and a state investigation into her handling of passport fees. STORY 2: Commission Kills ‘Home Rule' Map, Keeps Richardson On Tuesday night, the Cobb County Board of Commissioners decided to abandon its controversial "home rule" map, opting to use the state map instead, following a court ruling declaring the home rule map unconstitutional. However, the board voted against declaring Commissioner Jerica Richardson's seat vacant, allowing her to remain in office for now. There is ongoing debate about whether Richardson's term will end on December 31 or extend until her successor is elected. The situation remains legally ambiguous, with differing opinions on how long Richardson can serve. The board is moving forward to resolve the confusion and conclude the long-standing dispute over the district maps. STORY 3: 1 Injured in Tritt Elementary School Fire A fire at Tritt Elementary School early Tuesday morning, caused by an HVAC issue, led to one person being hospitalized for smoke inhalation. No students were in the building, as it was early in the day. Cobb Fire and Emergency Services quickly extinguished a small fire from an AC unit. Students were relocated to Hightower Trail Middle School for the day. Regular school operations are expected to resume the next day, with updated dismissal plans provided to parents. The school district thanked the fire department for their swift response. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. We'll be right back Break: DRAKE STORY 4: Woman Killed in East-West Connector Collision On Wednesday morning, a collision on the East-West Connector in Smyrna resulted in the death of Hayleigh Curtis, 23, from Douglasville. Curtis's 2020 Honda Civic crossed the median into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with a 2019 Toyota Rav-4 driven by Dominique Najhawan, 27, of Grovetown. Curtis was pronounced dead at the scene, while Najhawan suffered minor injuries and was taken to Kennestone Hospital. The cause of the lane deviation is under investigation. Cobb County Police are seeking additional information from witnesses. STORY 5: Patricia B. Terwilliger Family Foundation Sponsors Habitat Home On August 24, construction began on a Habitat for Humanity home in Austell, sponsored by the Patricia B. Terwilliger Family Foundation. Established in 2003, the foundation, led by Patricia and her daughters Tracy and Bonnie, focuses on supporting women and children's issues. The Terwilliger family, known for their long-time involvement with Habitat for Humanity and support for veterans, will actively participate in building the home alongside the future homeowner. The project, which aims to provide a safe and stable environment for a veteran and their family, is expected to be completed by early November. For more details, visit habitatnwma.org.

Christi Dodge and Mike Dodge discuss the 1985 film "A Chorus Line," directed by Richard Attenborough and starring Michael Douglas, Terence Mann, and Audrey Landers. They analyze the film's cinematography, character development, and the use of a silhouetted director to create a mysterious figure. They note the film's realistic style, the use of full-length mirrors on stage, and the challenges of highlighting dancers in a crowded scene. They also discuss the film's financial performance, which was lackluster despite a $25 million budget, and its mixed critical reception. The hosts reflect on the film's impact and its place in the history of movie musicals.

Send us a Text Message.Katie and Bridget go back to the dino island (but not the SAME dino island) as they re-watch the lackluster sequel: The Lost World: Jurassic Park! Hey remember how the first Jurassic Park taught us to fear dinosaurs and never interact with them because man vs. nature blah blah? Well guess what - we're gonna go interact with them cause we forgot about all the death and destruction and instead are like YAY DINOS! Come along with Ian Malcolm, the only returning main character from the first movie! Through some spared-no-expense nonsense ala John Hammond, Ian ends up back with the dinos to go rescue his girlfriend who's been camping there alone for 4 days... Yes that's right, camping alone with DINOS... For four days... She might not have even had a tent, we're not really sure! But it's okay because we have some new characters like Nick Van Owen, the alleged back up plan (but we have doubts), Eddie Carr, the tech guy who gets viscously murdered, Kelly, a step-daughter who should have just stayed in the High-Hide, and InGen people, who just could not care less that they are seeing dinosaurs in real life. With that set up how could you go wrong!? Released in 1997, it was once again directed by Steven Spielberg, and features Jeff Goldblum, Julianne Moore, Pete Postlethwaite, Vince Vaughn, Arliss Howard, Richard Attenborough, Vanessa Chester, and Richard Schiff.
On the Saturday June 8, 2024 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we'll meet George Miller. He has made pigs talk and penguins tap dance. He's been a doctor and a film director. Among the bold-faced names on his resume are the titles “Babe: A Pig in the City,” “The Witches of Eastwick,” “Happy Feet” and “Lorenzo's Oil.” One name, however, looms larger than the rest. “Mad Max.” He returned to theatres recently with “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” his fifth Mad Max inspired film in 45 years. A mix of Norse and Greek mythology set against an apocalyptic backdrop, and set 15 to 20 years before the events of “Mad Max: Fury Road,” “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” is a high-octane origin story. Kidnapped from the Place of Great Abundance by Warlord Dementus's (Chris Hemsworth) henchmen, young Furiosa (played by Alyla Browne as a child, Anya Taylor-Joy as an adult) vows vengeance for the death of her mother as warlords Immortan Joe (Lachy Hulme) and Dementus vie for supremacy of the Wasteland. It's a pedal-to-the-metal epic, “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” follows the big-block engine power of “Fury Road” with a film that brings a backstory to the strong-willed Furiosa (Taylor-Joy). As expected, Miller delivers a high-octane apocalyptic tale with a fierce Taylor-Joy and charismatic warlord Hemsworth, that features action scenes that'll make your eyes pop out of their sockets. We'll also meet Simon Lewis, author of the book “Making 'A Bridge Too Far” which takes a deep dive into the making of what many people call, the greatest World War II movie of all time. Just ahead of the 80th anniversary of Operation Market Garden, which happened in September 1944 when the Allies attempted to capture several strategically important bridges in the Netherlands in the hope of breaking the German lines, comes the book which details the making of the movie based on the famous military maneuver. In recreating Operation Market Garden on film, director Richard Attenborough enlisted a company of actors and trained them to behave like soldiers. These actors underwent weapons training and were trusted to bring authenticity to their roles, a groundbreaking approach that hadn't been tried before.

It's no trick (and not just because April Fools' Day was yesterday): We really are doing Jurassic Park (1993) on our latest episode. Though many have questioned whether or not the Steven Spielberg classic technically counts as horror, we're ready to put the matter to bed, tuck it in tight, and wish it sweet dinosaur dreams... or at least terrifying T-Rex nightmares. Because let's be real — this flick freaked us all out as kids, and given the fact that it's a movie about the OG monsters, it definitely meets Spooky Tuesday's standards. No one can take on three raptors alone, though, which is why we invited Why the Flick?'s Claire White to be our guide on this dangerous expedition. Follow Why the Flick? on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok at @whytheflick. Check out their new episodes every other week on Apple and Spotify. BIG NEWS, SPOOKIES!We're getting a makeover!! Our new official look is here — and so is our merch store! That's right: We've got new art AND hats, shirts, and sweatshirts to match.

Magic is misdirection, and Richard Attenborough and William Goldman do a terrific job of misdirecting the audience in this 1978 thriller. Like The King of Comedy and Limelight, the film looks at the desperation of people who want to be recognized; unlike those films, there's nothing funny about the hero's struggle. Join us for a conversation about a film so unsettling that even the TV spot (featured at the start of the episode) caused people to run from their living rooms. So put down the dummy and give it a listen! William Goldman's Adventures in the Screen Trade (1989) and Which Lie Did I Tell? (2001) both offer the renowned screenwriter's advice about writing films and understanding how they work—or don't. Follow us on X or Letterboxd. Incredible bumper music by John Deley.

George Feltenstein of the Warner Archive joins the podcast to review six films from the 1990s to 2000 that released for the first time on Blu-ray. We start with the animated "Rover Dangerfield," (1991) where Rodney Dangerfield's hallmark humor is impeccably tailored to tickle the funny bones of both kids and adults alike. Next we review the first film released by MTV Films, "Joe's Apartment," (1996) starring a young Jerry O'Connell and a host of singing cockroaches. From December we start with the excellent, "Saving Grace" (2000), a Indie darling that should not be forgotten, with standout performances from Brenda Blethyn and Craig Ferguson. We then review the romp "A Midwinter's Tale" (1995), directed by Kenneth Branagh. This mock-u-mentary style film is a delightful look behind-the-scenes of indie Shakespearean theater.We wrap up our reviews with two films released in November. First is the historical drama "Rapa-Nui" (1994) from Kevin Costner's Tig Productions and directed by Kevin Reynolds. Filmed on location on Easter Island, this story of Polynesian history is a visual and dramatic delight. And our last film is the historical romance "In Love and War" (1996) starring Sandra Bullock and Chris O'Donnell and directed by Richard Attenborough. This beautifully shot film is based on the true-life romance of a young Earnest Hemingway and his experiences in Italy during World War I.We provide a review of each film, the restoration, and all of the extras to help you decide if you want to add it to your physical media collection.Purchase links:ROVER DANGERFIELD (1991) Blu-rayJOE'S APARTMENT (1996) Blu-raySAVING GRACE (2000) Blu-rayA MIDWINTER'S TALE (1995) Blu-rayRAPA-NUI (1994) Blu-rayIN LOVE AND WAR (1996) Blu-ray The Extras Facebook pageThe Extras Twitter Warner Archive & Warner Bros Catalog GroupOtaku Media produces podcasts, behind-the-scenes extras, and media that connect creatives with their fans and businesses with their consumers.

On this episode of the CULTURE POP PODCAST actor Matthew Goode and director Matthew Brown join Sue & me to talk about their new provocative film, FREUD'S LAST SESSION, an imaginary conversation between C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud as they debate the existence of God. We discuss adapting a stage play to the screen, how the movie mirrors the world today, the irony of working opposite Anthony Hopkins, who portrayed Goode's character in Richard Attenborough's biographical film, SHADOWLANDS, finding the proper voice for his part, and the backstory on how he landed the role. Plus, the Las Vegas Sphere, murder in a Sin City hotel, skydiving at the tender age of 104, and people we wish we could have talked to before they passed.
Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we complete our series on Trespasser. We look through the glass darkly at the mistakes and how they illustrate some things, before turning to our takeaways. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Finished the game! Issues covered: the funhouse mirror, writing the weird things on the whiteboards, voice acting, a game lost to time, the inner monologue, some good set up of a level, the invisible blocking wall surrounding Hammond's, box lifting master, weird technical friction about saves, looking for the white keycard, a misaligned bookshelf and visual language, the green disc, the personal memoir, rubbing the disc on the drive, the keycard mess, finding an alternate solution, immersive sim stuff, parallel developments, shining a light on something you didn't know you wanted, the preset objects, restoring forces, deconstructing what the designers put to place your own, contrivances, more keys that aren't keys, not leaning on the license, a more straightforward puzzle, 526327, the extending weird finger, modeling "dexterity," throwing the keycard in the Atlantic, a helpful (?) velociraptor, pressure plates in the ruins, playing something mid-development, games that should be canceled, deals that forced the game out, breaking your game while you build it, getting better at making the game, hitting the board in the wrong place, setting up the physics and seeing the world a certain way, shaking the Jell-O, letting the Jell-O settle, learning how to kite the dinosaurs, spawning three dinosaurs, making terrible mistakes, choosing appropriate goals, not knowing if a thing is possible, mashing up things, being aspirational, leading the way, admiring the purity, dinosaur ecology, getting to see something like this, being consistent in your rules, providing clarity. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Jules Verne, H. G.

He was actually thinking either about scenes from a movie called The Valley of Gwangi, which is from 1969, or One Million Years BC, (1966) both of which feature stop-motion animation by Harryhausen.

Well as you know, I've always thought we went a podcast too far...The Film Nerds are here with a deep examination of one of the greatest forgotten war epics of all time - and one of the biggest independent productions in the industry's history. Hear the history of how the Allies arrived at Operation Market Garden, how legendary producer Joseph E Levine got hooked on the story of the battle & compelled the film forward, how the tale of hubris & Pyrrhic victory struggled to connect with the audiences of the 1970s, and much more! Our early season foray into epic filmmaking gets an independent twist that you won't want to miss!
SIDE HUSTLE 12: RICHARD ATTENBOROUGH AIN'T NO DUMMYOnly four episodes left in our epic season ten, talking side hustles. While we mostly have discussed directors better known as actors, this week we talk Richard Attenborough, who, if not for Jurassic Park, would probably be better known as a director today. But he was a great actor! And not just when playing billionaire softy grandpas that accidentally upturn the biological order of an entire planet because he wanted his grandkids to have cuddly raptors. He was legitimately a great actor. BRIGHTON ROCK (1948) is the first of two movies based on books with scripts credited to the author of the books themselves, and not some schmuck (this one is by Graham Greene. Directed by John Boulting, Rock has Attenborough in one of his greatest roles as Pinkie Brown, a nasty hood on the rise in the titular town of Brighton between world wars. It's a fairly grim film with Attenborough seething malice at nearly every turn. He's so good! MAGIC (1978) was a bit of a breather for Attenborough, the director, as he worked to get his passion project, a tiny indie film no one ever saw called GANDHI, made and re-teamed with producer Joseph E. Levine and author/screenwriter William Goldman, both of whom worked with Attenborough on 1977's epic A BRIDGE TOO FAR, for something quite small by comparison, a thriller about a magician who mysteriously rises to fame once he brings a dummy, named Fats, into his act and then decamps to his old hometown right before his big breakthrough to stalk a high school crush. The magician, Corky, is played by Anthony Hopkins and the crush by a dressed down Ann-Margret. Fats generally steals the show as things go from creepy to violent. It's great! Co-host Ken read the book and spills on all the changes made from page to screen (spoiler: not much). Ken and Thomas discuss the rest of Attenborough's career as one of the few great actors who moved away successfully from acting to be full time great directors. Bonus: Fats joins us!THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegoodthepoda1YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gBuzzsprout: https://thegoodthepodandtheugly.buzzsprout.com/Letterboxd (follow us!):Ken: Ken KoralJack: jackk1096
There is something undeniably freaky about puppets and mannequins. This time in the cave we look at two movies which feature this fact at the core of their stories. We start off with "Magic" from 1978. Directed by Richard Attenborough and starring true Hollywood heavyweights Anthony Hopkins, Ann-Margaret and Burgess Meredith, and with a script by the legendary William Goldman, based on his own novel...it's no suprise that it's great! This is a dark tale of derangement and psychosis, with young Anthony Hopkins turning in a powerful performance. It's great, watch it! We follow that with 1988's "Pin" from director Sandor Stern. This is a bizarre family drama where a strict father has convinced his children that the medical mannequin in his office can speak. Using ventriliquism, he lets the mannequin handle key moments of fatherly advice and this produces two VERY disturbed children who grow up to be VERY disturbed teenagers. It's weird and disturbing but also well-shot and assembled. Listen in to find out if it sounds like it's for you. We then proceed to list the various things we've been watching for fun. Please let us know what you thought of the show, and send us some suggestions for future episodes. You can email us at flickersfrom@yahoo.com or flickersfrom@gmail.com. You can also reach us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Sorry about the audio quality. There were some technical issues that have been resolved, but we didn't realize until we had finished recording.
Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we begin a new series on 1998's Dreamworks Interactive title, Trespasser.
