Kerry and Collin are joined by first-time guest, longtime friend, film critic Nick Digilio, who claims "The Ref"--starring Dennis Leary, Kevin Spacey and Judy Davis--is his favorite Christmas film of all time. Collin has similar feelings and wanted to wait until the movie had an anniversary, so it could be featured prominently in the December line-up, when the movie would hopefully get more attention than it did back in the day. Why did the studio botch its release? Do people still make fruitcake jokes today? How did screenwriter Richard LaGravenese get his revenge on a Chicago film critic with this film? Also, Nick's choice for a Christmas episode/TV special is none other than the classic "Pee-Wee's Playhouse Christmas Special." It truly is one of the best Christmas specials of all, as evidenced by the joy everyone experienced making it and the joy it continues to bring to audiences several  generations later. (NOTE: Apologies for some of the sound quality on this one. It's mostly in the first 15 minutes). 

Welcome back to purgatory and a Happy Holidays!!! This week Deason picked The Ref from 1994 directed by Ted Demme and written by Marie Meiss and Richard LaGravenese.

Send us a Text Message.Have you ever watched a movie or read a book and tried to put yourself in the shoes of the main character?  Imagined yourself going through all their trials and tribulations and asked yourself the question "could I survive"?  That is our new theme and mission for this round.This episode focuses on 'Unbroken', the 2014 film adaptation of the excellent 2010 non-fiction book by Laura Hillenbrand.  Written by the Coen brothers, Richard LaGravenese and William Nicholson and directed by Angelina Jolie the film follows American Olympian and Army officer Louis Zamperini who survived in a raft for 47 days after his bomber ditched in the ocean during the Second World War, before being captured by the Japanese and being sent to a series of prisoner of war camps.We also discuss our own brushes with mortality and discuss what it really means to survive.

In which the Mister and Monsters join me in reviewing THE FISHER KING (1991), from writer Richard LaGravenese, the film is directed by Terry Gilliam.   A narcissistic radio host, Jack Lucas (Jeff Bridges), has it all and is riding high on a wave of fame, success and adulation. However, one day his reckless words inadvertently inspire a tragic event, plunging him into a self-destructive spiral. He crosses paths with a mentally ill man, Parry (a luminescent Robin Williams) and together they embark on a surreal and transformative journey to find meaning, redemption and recovery.  The film clocks in at 2 h and 17 m, is rated R and is to buy/rent on Prime Video.

This week Megan saw Yorgos Lanthimos's KINDS OF KINDNESS (2:28), a whackadoo triptych fable starring Jesse Plemons, Emma Stone, and Willem Dafoe. It's getting all kinds of raves but also some drubbings — including Megan's. Evan, Megan, and Dave watched CONVERSION (15:15), Zach Meiners's documentary about survivors — the film's director, an ex-Mormon woman, and a famous drag queen — of so-called conversion therapy (programs designed to make queer kids straight, but in reality it's trauma-inducing psychobabble). We had mixed reactions. Finally, everyone weighed in on A FAMILY AFFAIR (45:45), a rom-com directed by Richard LaGravenese  and written by Carrie Solomon starring Joey King, Nicole Kidman, and Zac Efron as three garbage humans apparently more interested in ruining each others' lives than anything else. Reactions were not mixed. But we had fun taking it apart! And over on Patreon, our Pride Month poll winner is TRICK, a 1999 gay rom-com starring Christian Campbell, J.P. Pitoc, and — that's right — Tori Spelling.

A quick recap and assessment of last night's Oscar telecast, which, to me, was a much-needed reboot and refresh of a format that had become stale, out of touch with itself and increasingly at odds with the stated mission of awarding creative efforts. In this episode I talk a bit about some of the conventional wisdom (or lack thereof) that's hampered the evolution of the Oscar telecast over the years, and highlight some of the innovations that the production team, which included Steven Soderbergh, Stacey Sher, Jesse Collins, Richard LaGravenese, Jennae Rouzan Clay, Dionne Harmon succeeded in implementing.

Career retrospective with Nia Long on June 27, 2016. Moderated by Jenelle Riley, Variety. Since making her film debut in John Singleton’s Oscar-nominated film, “Boyz In The Hood,” Nia Long continues to cultivate a versatile resume in both film and television. On the big screen, Long will can be seen opposite Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele in New Line’s feature comedy “Keanu.” No stranger to box-office success, Long has been a part of three successful film franchises, including the “The Best Man,” for which she earned an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture, and its 2013 follow-up, “The Best Man Holiday,” which earned critical and commercial success. Martin Lawrence’s “Big Momma’s House” and “Big Momma’s House 2” collectively earned over $300 million and earned Long an NAACP Image Award nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Motion Picture. Additionally, Long co-starred in the Ice Cube family comedies “Are We There Yet?” and “Are We Done Yet,” which spawned the TBS comedy series “Are We There Yet?” Most recently, Long starred in “The Single Moms Club,” which she co-starred with her son Massai, and additional film roles include “Friday,” with Ice Cube and Chris Tucker; “Made in America,” with Whoopi Goldberg; “Love Jones,” which won the Audience Award at Sundance and earned Long an NAACP Image Award nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Motion Picture; “Soul Food”; “Stigmata”; “The Secret Laughter of Women,” opposite Colin Firth; “Alfie,” with Jude Law; and “Premonition,” with Sandra Bullock. She first caught audience’s attention as Will Smith’s love interest on NBC’s “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” which garnered her first NAACP Image Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. Long co-starred alongside Vanessa Redgrave, Sharon Stone and Ellen DeGeneres in the Emmy-nominated HBO telefilm “If These Walls Could Talk 2.” The performance earned Long an NAACP Image Award Nomination for Best Actress in a Television Movie. Her portrayal of Officer Sasha Monroe on NBC’s “Third Watch” earned her two NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series. Additional television credits include recurring roles on “Judging Amy” and “Boston Legal.” Most recently, Long starred in the political thriller “The Divide,” from director Tony Goldwyn and writer Richard LaGravenese, and appeared on Showtime’s “House of Lies,” which earned Long an NAACP Image Award Nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. Behind the camera, the actress made her directorial debut on Ashanti’s music video “Baby,”the third single from her platinum-selling debut album, “Ashanti.” Additionally, Long directed the music video for platinum-selling gospel artist Yolanda Adams’ single “This Too Shall Pass,” from the #1 selling gospel album, “Day By Day.” Continuing her work behind the camera, she is currently developing a feature film that centers on renowned world champion boxer and trainer Ann Wolfe. In addition to her film and television work, Long’s passion lies in supporting her community. With her family roots in Trinidad, she aims to be the liaison between the youth in the United States and on the island of Trinidad. In 2013, Long was a vocal proponent to the Barack Obama reelection campaign and has remained active in supporting women’s rights, education and affordable healthcare. A Brooklyn native, Long resides in Los Angeles with her two sons and fiancée, Ime Udoka, assistant coach for the San Antonio Spurs.

"Beautiful Creatures is a 2013 American romantic gothic fantasy film based upon the 2009 novel of the same name by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl". - wikiWe would not call it romantic per say, rather a hormone driven novel. For once though the film was better than the book. Don't agree? Have a listen and see if we can convince you. We discuss everything from sex to the hard and soft rules of magic in this episode. It turned out to be more of a commentary on social norms that we intended but hey that is art for you. It was fun to make this episode and while I will never read the book again, the film is something I'll be happy to have on in the background. We all wish we could do magic right? I swear a bit more than usual in this episode but what can I say? I am passionate about teenage literature. We are about half way through our Fantasy Season 1 so thank you for listening, we appreciate the love. Next week we will be releasing an episode on Philip Pullman's Northern Lights where we also have a special guest on the podcast so keep an eye out for that. Until next time my bibliophiles.

In the first of two special holiday episodes, we’re looking back to 1994, the year we covered in our debut season, to talk about Christmas cult classic The Ref. Directed by Ted Demme from a screenplay by Richard LaGravenese and Marie Weiss and starring Denis Leary, Kevin Spacey, Judy Davis and Robert J. Steinmiller Jr., The Ref was a box-office failure but has since become a holiday favorite. The post The Ref (1994 Holiday Bonus) appeared first on Awesome Movie Year.

He is a composer, lyricist, conductor, arranger, orchestrator, director, and performer – who has been hailed as “one of Broadway’s smartest and most sophisticated songwriters since Stephen Sondheim” (Philadelphia Inquirer).

Dans un univers steampunk post-apocalyptique où les villes sont mobiles, la vie de Tom se voit changée lorsqu’il croise Hester Shaw, une jeune femme qui veut se venger d’un certain Thaddeus Valentine. Le scénario de Mortal Engines, adapté d’une série de romans SF parue au début des années 2000, est bien co-signé par Peter Jackson, mais peut-être aurait-il du également prendre en charge la réalisation. En cherchant du positif, on trouve un très beau personnage de monstre, des cités roulantes qui renouvellent l’imaginaire et des effets spéciaux hallucinants pour un mini budget. Mais l’ensemble du film ne se tient pas, et l’accumulation des twists ratés aboutit à deux heures d’ennui poli. Peut-être ne fallait-il pas relancer le mouvement young adult cinq ans après son essoufflement.

This episode pulls back the curtain on the making of the feature film Freedom Writers, written and directed by Richard LaGravenese and starring Hilary Swank. First, original Freedom Writer Tanya Payne reflects on what it was like to see her experience, her words, represented onscreen in the movie. Then Erin shares her conversation with writer/director Richard LaGravenese, recorded in New York City. Erin and Richard discuss the process of adapting The Freedom Writers Diary into a feature film; the casting choices and the real-life stories behind the talented kids who played Ms. G's students; and those special behind-the-scenes moments that proved to everyone involved that this was more than just a movie. It was a movement.

On this episode we look at films on talk show breakdowns. This comes naturally to us since we already have a failed talk show in this very podcast, so we watch two other gentlemen dealing with their own personal demons in the format. In Oliver Stone’s 1988 film adaptation of Eric Bogosian’s stage play, Bogosian plays Barry. A rude, contemptuous talk show host becomes overwhelmed by the hatred that surrounds his program just before it goes national. Barry and Talk Radio go up against the shock jock Jack, played by Jeff Bridges in the 1991 movie THE FISHER KING, directed by Terry Gilliam and written by Richard Lagravenese. Here instead of a breakdown on air, we see the damage that can be done off air, as an offhand remark sends a listener into a restaurant with a gun, where he guns down a man’s wife and causes the husband played by Robin Williams to hide his grief by living in a fantasy world. Heavy stuff, with strange doses of comedy make for a perfect double feature to followup new to video WELCOME TO ME.  

Did Don Draper's story get a happy ending? Whether you've seen the series finale of Mad Men or not, this spoiler-free episode of 92Y Talks features series creator Matthew Weiner as he takes us back through the award-winning show's origins. Moderated by Richard LaGravanese, the Emmy winning writer and producer speaks candidly about his creative process, the characters we love, and building the world of Mad Men. Recorded on April 28, 2015 at New York's 92nd Street Y.

Richard LaGravenese is an Academy Award nominated screenwriter and film director, best known as the writer of The Fisher King. There have been a ton of Broadway musical to movie adaptations over the years . . . from Chicago to Hairspray to Rent to Into the Woods. But there have been hardly any Off Broadway musical to movie adaptations. And then all of a sudden, here comes a film version of The Last 5 Years starring A-lister Anna Kendrick and soon-to-be-an-A-lister Jeremy Jordan. How did this movie happen? Two words. Richard LaGravenese. So what drew him to The Last 5 Years?  And what does he think about our industry? Listen to his podcast to hear: The difference between writing plays and writing screenplays. Why the business model of Broadway is much more attractive to writers than the business model of Hollywood. Why there are a lot of writer/directors in Hollywood but not so much here. And whether or not he’s got more musicals he wants to make into movies. Keep up with me: @KenDavenportBway www.theproducersperspective.com  Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode we look at life, and in particular a sex life, immediately after divorce. In the 1998 Richard Lagravenese film LIVING OUT LOUD, Holly Hunter drinks one too many martinis and finds herself the target of a crush from the bellhop in her building, and Steve Carell finds himself the target of ladies man Ryan Gosling in CRAZY STUPID LOVE. All of these shenanigans of the newly single inspired by the great new film GOODBYE TO ALL THAT starring Paul Schneider and we get a chance to talk to the writer and director of this new release, Angus MacLachlan.

After the financial disaster that was 'The Adventures of Baron Munchausen,' Terry Gilliam needed a way to prove to the studio brass that he could make a great movie that was on budget and made money at the box office. He found it in 'The Fisher King,' the film he made and released in 1991. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we continue our Terry Gilliam series with the fantastic 'The Fisher King.' We talk about why this film works so well for us, even if Roger Ebert clearly didn't click with it. We discuss the brilliant 4 leads in the film — Jeff Bridges, Robin Williams, Mercedes Ruehl and Amanda Plummer — and look at what each of them bring to their own roles that make them work so well. We chat about the brilliance of Richard LaGravenese's script and how honest he portrays the characters yet how efficient the script is as well, giving full portrayals of characters even for minor characters (like the brilliant Michael Jeter). And we cover how this film succeeded at the box office and even gathered a handful of Oscar nominations, showing people that Gilliam can make films that make money. It's a wonderful film that we have a great time talking about. Tune in! Hey! You know what would be awesome? If you would drop us a positive rating on iTunes!

We love you with all our non-beating hearts, Film Geeks! In this special bonus episode of the show, Andrew and Monica put on their sociology hats and explore the gender politics of a popular sub-sub-genre: supernatural young adult romance book-to-film adaptations. If you're not into that, don't worry.
