Richard Ayoade faces his toughest challenge yet - finding a way to keep Taskmaster going for ten more series. A movie director is forced to face up to serious allegations now his films have become commercial rather than critically acclaimed arthouse classics. And Stuart Piper Aloysious takes his political podcast on the road and it's even more tedious than the real thing. Sponsored by Big Baboon Energy. Social media star Michael Spicer takes on everything that frustrates and angers us, such as social media, other media and everything else in this satirical sketch comedy series. Michael is famous for his Room Next Door government advisor character whose withering take downs of politicians have amassed more than 100 million views and helped keep his audience sane in fractured times.Writer, Performer and Co-Editor: Michael SpicerComposer and Sound Designer: Augustin BousfieldProducer: Matt TillerA Tillervision production for BBC Radio 4

Der phönizische Meisterstreich | Viele Stars, noch mehr Symmetrie Es wird wieder einmal symmetrisch – Wes Anderson kehrt am 29. Mai mit seinem neuen Film „Der phönizische Meisterstreich“ auf die Kinoleinwand zurück. In der skurrilen Komödie spielt Benicio del Toro einen exzentrischen Geschäftsmann, der gemeinsam mit seiner Tochter Liesl (gespielt von Mia Threapleton), einer Nonne, und einem Insektenexperten einen raffinierten Coup plant. Wie Schlogger, Stu und ihre Gästin Laura vom WILD Magazin den Film fanden, verraten wir an dieser Stelle nicht. Stattdessen nutzen wir den Raum, um all die illustren Namen zu nennen, die sich im hochkarätigen Ensemble tummeln. Also: einmal tief Luft holen, denn es folgt ein echtes Star-Feuerwerk. Mit dabei sind: Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson, Willem Dafoe, Michael Cera, Riz Ahmed, Bryan Cranston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jeffrey Wright, Bill Murray, F. Murray Abraham, Mathieu Amalric, Hope Davis, Rupert Friend und Richard Ayoade. Viel Spaß mit der neuen Folge vom Tele-Stammtisch!

Hello everyone and welcome back to another review here on MOVIE Morning. Wes Anderson's latest film - The Phoenician Scheme - hit UK cinemas this past weekend and will have a slow international rollout over the next month or so. I am a bit of a Wes Anderson noob. I watched Fantastic Mr. Fox obsessively when I was younger and have seen The Grand Budapest Hotel but other than that, I don't have an exact recollection of whether I've seen any of his other movies. Because of the early release here, I thought I'd give The Phoenician Scheme a shot, especially because Anderson has such a passionate following and the plot description seemed interesting to me. Is it worth seeing at the cinema? Find out in this review!The Phoenician Scheem:Directed by: Wes AndersonStory by: Wes Anderson & Roman CoppolaScreenplay by: Wes AndersonProduced by: Wes Anderson, Jeremy Dawson, John Peet, Steven RalesExecutive Producers: Roman Coppola, Henning MolfenterOriginal music by: Alexandre DesplatDirector of Photography: Bruno DelbonnelEdited by: Barney PillingCasting by: Douglas AibelProduction Design by: Adam StockhausenCostume Design by: Milena CanoneroCast: Benicio del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera, Riz Ahmed, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Mathieu Amalric, Richard Ayoade, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rupert Friend, Hope Davis, Bill Murray, Willem DafoeSynopsis: The story of a family and a family business.
On this bumper episode for Wes Anderson's new film, our interviewers Lucy Fenwick Elliott, Lara Peters and Elena Lazic speak to the cast of The Phoenician Scheme: Benicio del Toro, Michael Cera, Mia Threapleton and Richard Ayoade. The inimitable Wes Anderson returns with The Phoenician Scheme, a story of a family – and a family business. Zsa-zsa Korda (Benicio Del Toro) is a roguish millionaire businessman, survivor of six plane crashes and father of nine sons, and – crucially – one daughter, a nun called Liesel (Mia Threapleton). The two reunite when Liesel is, against all odds, named sole heir to his estate. But as Korda embarks on a new, ambitious enterprise, they quickly become the target of scheming tycoons, foreign terrorists, and determined assassins.

On this episode, we were joined by the iconic actor, writer, and filmmaker Richard Ayoade to discuss his latest comic novel, The Unfinished Harauld Hughes, a fictional accounting of his quest to canonise the most significant British playwright of the 20th century (who also happens to be entirely made up). Richard spoke to us about the figures that influenced the invention of Hughes–among them Harold Pinter and Orson Welles–and the ill-fated film Hughes authored, "O Bedlam, O Bedlam", which stopped the prolific playwright from ever writing again. He expressed scepticism about the myths and exaggerations that create "great lost works" and literary recluses and discussed why it is important to approach comic writing from the inside out rather than trying to make fun of your characters. For good measure, we also discuss his deep love of "Spinal Tap", Joan Didion, and the time he spent acting in Wes Anderson's "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar."
Book Club #111 - The Unfinished Harauld Hughes - Richard talks to the extraordinary Richard Ayoade about his incredible multi-book releases about writer Harauld Hughes (including books of his plays, films and prose) and his equally brilliant “The Fairy Tale Fan Club” kids book. They chat about the questions children ask about the stories they are told and why it's fun to attempt to answer them, how to get Wes Anderson to narrate your audiobook (be Richard Ayoade and ask him) and why bad characters appeal to children. Plus what it's like to be in the brain of Richard Ayoade, why he wanted to create the character of Harold Hughes, why he put himself in the book, the joy of a book that it takes a little while to tune into, another incredible audiobook and how to create parody that occasionally transcends humour, but where you come to care for the people you are mocking. How has he been allowed to do this? He definitely should have been allowed to do it, but it's still amazing that he's done it and that it's available for you to read!There is also a chance to win all four of the limited edition Harauld Hughes books - rare unsigned copies too!Or buy the books here (quickly) - https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-book-that-no-one-wanted-to-read-richard-ayoade/7098935?ean=9781529500752https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-unfinished-harauld-hughes-richard-ayoade/7688891?ean=9780571377893https://www.faber.co.uk/product/9780571393107-the-models-trilogy/https://www.faber.co.uk/product/9780571393084-plays-prose-pieces-poetry/https://www.faber.co.uk/product/9780571393060-four-films/See RHLSTP recorded live - https://richardherring.com/rhlstp Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp.

Prepare yourself for the conversational snips of the previous thirty episodes… a potpourri of what may be our final clip show for a while. Over the last 3 years we've obviously refined a few things. Ben is starting to get right into the show when he's in charge of recording; a side effect of this is that warmups are no longer as much of “a thing” for us anymore. Ben has also worked diligently on reducing the necessary recording time for special guests, so these days we are also cutting far fewer segments due to time. However, we reserve the right to revisit the clip show concept in the future, but they will no longer occur on 30 episode intervals as they have in the past. And now… on to the scraps! *** 00:00:21 - Why? 00:01:47 - Ep 92 Logic clip introduction 00:02:23 - Unity fee restructuring, SAG striking, Andrew's support, and supporting indies 00:09:19 - Ep 95 Animate clip introduction 00:10:23 - Martin's opinions about Unity, showing support by being vocal, and StarVaders 00:13:23 - Ben asks Martin about controller support on the Mac and development challenges 00:17:07 - The benefits of being a part of the Unity developer community and 3rd party tools 00:20:33 - Effective game QA testing, using Discord, and how game engines lock down code 00:25:14 - The pros and cons of making your own game engine, and Starbucks' in Sweden 00:26:58 - Ep 96 Robot clip introduction 00:27:38 - Differences in salts, nobody wants goiters, PRINGLES® slogans, and “Hi Julius!” 00:31:38 - Let them breathe, smells like potato water, hearing Idaho, and eating them in stacks 00:34:01 - ASMR, salt favored, the most expensive salt, condiment reminder, and library garlic 00:38:41 - PRINGLES® freshness dates foreign and domestic, ASMR+, and a bathroom break 00:43:51 - Ep 98 Ink clip introduction 00:44:19 - Sensory adventure triggers another sensory adventure, and an animatronic callback 00:48:06 - Ep 100 Review clip introduction 00:48:41 - Drop dead, postmortem, rail sharing, trains falling down, and high altitude littering 00:54:47 - Ep 102 Narative clip introduction 00:55:28 - Andrew loves all things Richard Ayoade, his first, and 0118 999 88199 9119 725... 3 01:00:54 - The “Critical Film Studies” episode of a Community, and it's just a television show 01:03:09 - Ep 103 Rhythm clip introduction 01:04:00 - Some tech talk, definitions of art, “but also that elephant…,” and walking on the flag 01:07:48 - Heather Cassils' performance art, and Star's experience at Purchase College 01:11:01 - Exploring what you want to learn in community college, and don't not be happy 01:13:24 - Decoy show start, a dress rehearsal for a podcast, and short term memory screens 01:16:15 - The WiiU, The Wonderful 101, Veiwtiful Joe, and an extreme button mashing pro tip 01:19:11 - Ep 104 Lukas Eggan Interview clip introduction 01:19:50 - Discussing Alan Wake 2, Quantum Break, and a choice for the current generation 01:22:23 - Bethesda needs a win, collecting priorities, changing it in post, and LAN Parties 01:26:24 - Lukas' noticeable change in sound quality, our cats, and Ben's pre-show coffee 01:28:10 - Ep 106 April Fools / Turbo Tax Game Review clip introduction 01:28:59 - Agendas, sensitivity readings, the moral “high ground,” and conspiracy theories 01:32:16 - Splitting hairs of the definition, trying to explain things, and being empathetic 01:35:49 - Ep 107 Trend clip introduction 01:36:48 - A documentary about coinage, Norah's traffic commentary, and interview feedback 01:39:32 - Actively being a passenger, Norah reveals Alaska plans, and ambient sounds 01:43:17 - Ep 109 Beat clip introduction 01:44:13 - AI responding to AI generated content, where we get our news, and the FTC ruling 01:46:41 - Twenty year old cat FRAPs, old politicians, and refusing to work with people 01:50:33 - Printed infographics, teach yourself with the internet, and positive attitudes 01:53:58 - Ben starts showcasing his writings on Substack, and closing the show *** Follow Two Vague on… Our website: https://www.twovaguepodcast.com On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/two_vague_podcast On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@twovaguepodcast On Substack: https://substack.com/@twovaguepodcast For show appearance and other inquiries, contact us at: twovaguepodcast@gmail.com -AND- …for all of your PRI and 2VP merch check out the Partly Robot Industries store at TEEPUBLIC! https://www.teepublic.com/user/partly-robot-industries References, Links, and Tags #Podbean #DIYPodcast #ApplePodcast #VideoGames #Trivia #Comedy #Talkshow #2VP #TwoVaguePodcast #PodernFamily #InterviewShow #GamersofThreads #Gamer #PartlyRobot #PartlyRobotIndustries #TeePublic

It's time for a deep dive – literally – as we plunge into the abyss on this aquatic edition of Bad Dads Film Review.First up, let's submerge ourselves in the world of submarines! Over the years, there have been so many iconic submarines that have graced the big screen, haven't there? Remember The Nautilus from "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea"? A true marvel of underwater engineering! Then, of course, there's The Red October from "The Hunt for Red October" – Sean Connery's Russian accent and a game of underwater cat-and-mouse? Classic! And how can we forget U-96 from "Das Boot", giving us an unflinching look at life aboard a German U-boat during WWII. We also have The USS Alabama from "Crimson Tide", where Denzel and Gene Hackman go head-to-head in a battle of wills. And, to round off our list, there's the USS Dallas from "The Hunt for Red October" – a fine piece of American craftsmanship involved in the hunt for its Russian counterpart.With our heads still submerged, our Movie of the Week is "Submarine". Richard Ayoade's directorial debut, this coming-of-age film is dry, witty, and beautifully shot. It's not about submarines in the way you might think, but it's a deep dive into the complexities of adolescence, family dynamics, and the ever-challenging journey of growing up.Then, for a trip down nostalgia lane, let's journey into the depths with "Stingray". It's a blast from the past for some of us! This marionette-filled adventure was a staple of kids' TV back in the day. "Anything can happen in the next half hour" was the promise, and boy, did it deliver! Aquatic adventures, villains, and of course, Marina, the mute mermaid. It might be a little cheesy by today's standards, but it's got a charm that's undeniable.So whether you're all about the deep-sea adventures, navigating the tumultuous waters of teenage life, or just in the mood for some retro TV memories, we've got you covered. Make sure your periscope's up, and let's set sail on another episode of Bad Dads Film Review!
This is the second instalment of a three-part episode. David Baddiel would love there to be a God. The comedian and bestselling author has spent a lot of time fantasising about how much better life would be if there actually were a supreme being – which for him would be some kind of Superhero Dad who chased off Death. Unfortunately for him, there isn't. Or at least, that's Baddiel's view, and it's the starting point of his new book The God Desire. In April 2023 Baddiel came to our stage at The Tabernacle in Notting Hill, London, to argue that it is the very intensity of his, and everyone else's, desire for God to exist that proves God's non-existence. Baddiel was joined on stage by comedian, actor and film-maker Richard Ayoade and theologian and broadcaster Ben Quash for a conversation that tackled this most ancient and fundamental of questions: is our need for there to be something greater than ourselves anything more than just that – a need? We'd love to hear your feedback and what you think we should talk about next, who we should have on and what our future debates should be.
