"You've got to manage both sides. You're the captain of the ship. You let the playful side talk and then you get it organized and manage it. People are dominant on one side or the other, and either side can be very bad if you go to the extreme." — Kim KrizanRecapKim Krizan co-wrote Before Sunrise, one of the most beloved films of the nineties, without ever having read a script before. She'd been cast by Richard Linklater in Slacker, he read her master's thesis, and said "let's write something." That's how a boy-meets-girl story set over a single evening in Vienna became an Academy Award-nominated trilogy and a touchstone for anyone who believes a conversation can be the whole movie.In this episode, Kim and Rain dig into the craft and philosophy behind that kind of storytelling—dialogue-driven, emotionally subtle, built on psychology rather than plot. They talk about how to balance the two sides of every storyteller's brain, how to collaborate without losing yourself, what regional and cultural differences reveal about how people approach story, and why the real payoff of writing has nothing to do with awards or attention.Kim also reflects on the Before Sunrise trilogy's unexpected life and what it felt like to be the writer in a medium that doesn't always remember there is one.This one is personal for Rain, as hee's directing his own dialogue-driven feature this fall, and it shows. One of the most intimate and honest conversations in the show's run.Key TakeawaysIn this episode, you will learn to:Balance the wild creative side and the disciplined structured side of your brain rather than surrendering to one extremeSilence the inner critic early in your process so your subconscious can do the work it was built to doWrite dialogue-heavy stories that hold an audience by building intimacy and escalating psychological stakes over timeApproach creative collaboration as a negotiation — knowing which hills are worth dying on and which ones to releaseWrite because your soul needs it, not because you want recognition — and understand why that distinction changes everything about the workLinks & ResourcesFollow Kim Krizan:Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/kimkrizanFilms → Before Sunrise (1995) — co-written by Kim Krizan and Richard LinklaterFilms → Before Sunset (2004) — Academy Award nominated — co-written by Kim Krizan, Richard Linklater, Ethan Hawke and Julie DelpyFilms → Slacker (1991) — directed by Richard LinklaterFilms → Dazed and Confused (1993) — directed by Richard LinklaterFilms → Waking Life (2001) — directed by Richard LinklaterRain's Upcoming Film → There You Are — dialogue-driven indie feature, directing October 2026For more storytelling tips and strategies, visit:Website → https://rainbennett.comPodcast → https://thestorytellinglabpodcast.comOr follow along at:TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@chiefstorytellingofficerTwitter/X → https://twitter.com/rainbennettInstagram → https://www.instagram.com/rainbennettFacebook → https://www.facebook.com/thestorytellinglabYouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@RainBennett Hosted on Acast.

Une rencontre dans un train entre deux jeunes gens au début des années 90, qui se transforme en une histoire de vie. Cʹest beau et cʹest un vrai pari. Celui du cinéma naturaliste. Celui dʹun cinéma verbeux et étonnant, ancré dans une réalité sociale, humaine, dans des interactions sensibles, et réfléchies. Richard Linklater appartient à une génération de cinéastes indépendants américains, capable d'alterner le cinéma expérimental et les productions plus "grand public" comme les films qui nous intéressent aujourdʹhui. Richard Linklater est un expérimentateur, un inventeur, saluant la durée, installant des climats.

Slackerromanen och slackern själv hade sin storhetstid under 1990-talet. Men vad ville denna figur egentligen? Författaren Martin Engberg hittar henne i ny skepnad. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Först sänd 2020-01-02.Det fanns en tid i mitt liv när jag bodde i ett rum med svarta gardiner och sov på en madrass på golvet, inhyrd hos en vän i en medelstor svensk stad. Medan min kompis pluggade ägnade jag mig åt att skriva – ett tidigt romanförsök – och förutom sådant som Dagerman, kom inspirationen från böcker i vilka människorna liksom vi var unga, gick och stämplade och levde ett pliktlöst liv. Böcker som kunde tilltala en ung författar-wannabe eftersom de, på grund av sitt ämne, framstod som litterärt möjliga att imitera. Slackerlitteratur.I boken Not Working argumenterar psykologen Josh Cohen för att det behov av att inte arbeta många av oss har borde erkännas samma status som arbetet självt. Inte som återhämtning för ökad prestation, utan som något i sig meningsfullt. Med hjälp av fallstudier av personer han mött i sin kliniska praktik och olika konstnärskap konstruerar Cohen fyra typer vars minsta gemensamma nämnare är vantrivsel i förhållande till den gängse synen på arbete. Han ger dem namn som Den utbrände, Slusken, Dagdrömmaren och … just det ... Slackern.Slackern var alltså även före 90-talet sammanknippad med företeelser som uttrycker en ovilja mot att inrätta sig som en medborgare i nationens tjänst.Slackern, tänker jag, vad hände med slackern? Det var som att jag skickats tillbaka till det där rummet med svarta gardiner.Vad var det egentligen som skrevs där och varför?I ett försök att orientera mig plockar jag upp Per Hagmans debutbok, Cigarett från 1991. Alla markörerna är där, men att läsa om andras festande blir snabbt monotont och den grabbiga jargongen är kvävande. Det är något annat jag letar efter. Claes Holmströms bok Tredje stenen från solen från 1994 – som jag måste ha läst vid den här tiden – är svårare att få tag på än Cigarett. Av någon anledning är det kö på bibliotekets enda exemplar. I väntan på att kunna lägga händerna på ett ex ser jag om Richard Linklaters film Slacker från 1990 för att få ordning på begreppet. Det var framför allt den som gav ordet en för decenniet samtida betydelse, tidigare hade det till exempel använts om personer som under första och andra världskriget i USA inte ville göra militärtjänst. Slackern var alltså även före 90-talet sammanknippad med företeelser som uttrycker en ovilja mot att inrätta sig som en medborgare i nationens tjänst. Sedan drog den på sig en Nirvana T-shirt och blev synonym med en ironisk cyniker som var skeptisk mot det mesta. Inte minst äta-jobba-sova-dö-samhället. Eller som en karaktär uttrycker det i Slacker: ”Åt helvete med den sortens jobb du måste ha för att försörja dig! […] Se på mig! Jag klarar mig fint. Jag kanske inte lever på något bra sätt, men jag behöver åtminstone inte arbeta för att göra det.”Eller, för den delen, med artisten Becks ord: ”I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?”Kameran i Linklaters film förflyttar sig sömlöst mellan olika karaktärer. Alla visar de upp en livshållning som speglar filmens titel. De delar med sig av sina teorier om världen på ett ofta spånigt, kvasiintellektuellt eller konspiratoriskt sätt, om det inte rör sig om rena fantasier, men de existentiella frågorna pockar på underifrån. De flesta av figurerna är unga, merparten män, men här finns också kvinnan på filmens affisch som försöker kränga en burk som hon påstår innehåller Madonnas ”pap smear”, gynekologiska cellprov, och på det sättet exemplifierar generationens förtrolighet med en global populärkultur och dess mytbildningar.En av anledningarna till att filmen, trots att den är en tidsskildring, inte känns daterad på samma sätt som Hagmans Cigarett, är att den utgör en provkarta över flera olika existenser utan att låsa sig vid ett enskilt perspektiv. Kategorin berättelser om pojkmännen som är barn till Lundells Jack, som i sin tur var barn till Jack Kerouacs beatniks, är vid det här laget mättad med råge. Antagligen är det därför (utöver rent litterära kvaliteter) som de skildringar i genren som kommit fram på senare år, har kvinnor som författare och huvudpersoner. Karolina Ramqvist skriver Alltings början med en feministisk blick. Huvudpersonen i Tone Schunnessons Tripprapporter uttrycker en liknande brist på kontakt med sina känslor som Hagmans jag i Cigarett, men könsskillnaden ger en förskjutning i maktbalansen. Huvudpersonens sätt att leva blir på det sättet en provokation mot vissa tabun, som i högre grad fortfarande gäller kvinnor än män, till exempel när det kommer till hur sexuella begär uttrycks.Slackern [...] faller mellan kolumnerna för vad rigida utvärderingssystem kan mäta.Men frågan är om inte Ottessa Moshfeghs My year of rest and relaxation från 2018 frambringat den ultimata slackern. Huvudpersonen i boken bestämmer sig helt sonika för att – med hjälp av ett mindre apotek av droger – gå i idé under ett helt år i väntan på att alla problem ska försvinna. Möjligen skulle det ambitiösa i projektet kunna diskvalificera detta som en slackerskildring. Å andra sidan är alla andra referenser på plats, från dyrkandet av VHS-spelaren och den nördiga besattheten av film, till den cyniska blicken och oviljan att inordna sig i ett uppstyrt samhällsliv. Dessutom är det något så udda som en närhistorisk roman i genren eftersom den utspelar sig runt millennieskiftet.Och huvudpersonen i Moshfeghs bok är inte den enda som söker en väg ut ur en kris med hjälp av slackern.I Not Working berättar Josh Cohen hur Linklaters film hjälpte honom ur den livskris han hamnat i som doktorand. Genom att hävda allas rätt att leva i sin egen takt gav den honom tillåtelse att vara kreativ på det sätt som passade honom. När han lät skrivandet ske på de tider och i de intervaller som föll sig naturligt för honom – ofta efter långa perioder av inaktivitet – lossnade skrivkrampen. Han hade hittat sin livsrytm.Sedan påpekar Cohen att det förstås finns tider när den egna rytmen måste inordnas med andras, för att vi har familj, lönearbete, eller ett husdjur att ta hand om, men säger att det kanske är då det är som viktigast att hålla fast vid dess anda av olydnad och vägran. Dess benägenhet till aktivitet och inaktivitet utan mål och mening. Slackern inom oss är helt enkelt den där som har en tendens att göra saker som faller mellan kolumnerna för vad rigida utvärderingssystem kan mäta.Jag inser att jag inte behöver Claes Holmströms bok. Det var det här jag letade efter. Inte fler skildringar av vilsna unga män. Tiden i rummet med svarta gardiner gav mig en möjlighet att utforska min egen rytm och när jag drömmer mig tillbaka dit är det för att jag behöver påminna mig om att jag fortfarande har en sådan. Det har inget med MTV, humorprogrammet Knesset eller krogrundor att göra. Tvärtom är det en uppmaning att söka andra berättelser, sådana som de i Slacker, som obekymrat slingar sig fram längs sina egna vägar, samtidigt som de möter och sluter upp med andra berättelser, utan att bry sig om ifall de gör på rätt sätt. Och det kommer att vara andra berättelser idag än på 90-talet.“Slackern utmanar det obestridda privilegium handling och målinriktning har i vår kultur av skrupellös kapitalisering och konkurrens. Hon tar sig an den fundamentala frågan om vad som gör livet värt att leva”, skriver Cohen.Det tar jag med mig. Resten kan få sjunka tillbaka till sitt 90-tal.Martin Engberg, författare

Neue Podcast-Episode: Adams Acht, Runner, Fast Food Nation und For All Mankind im Review In der aktuellen Podcast-Episode nehmen wir erneut vier spannende Produktionen aus Kino und Streaming unter die Lupe. Dabei reicht die Bandbreite von deutschem Sportkino über actiongeladene Verfolgungsjagden bis hin zu gesellschaftskritischem Independent-Kino und anspruchsvoller Science-Fiction. Den Auftakt macht Adams Acht, das neue Sportdrama von Hannu Salonen. Der Film erzählt die wahre Geschichte des legendären Rudertrainers Karl Adam und seines Teams, das Deutschland bei den Olympischen Spielen 1960 zu Gold führte. Mit einer starken Besetzung rund um Oliver Masucci und Felix Kammerer verbindet der Film historische Ereignisse mit persönlichen Schicksalen und liefert zugleich einen spannenden Einblick in die Nachkriegsgeschichte Deutschlands. Anschließend werfen wir einen Blick auf Runner. Der Action-Thriller von Scott Waugh setzt auf ein hohes Tempo und starke Hauptdarsteller. Alan Ritchson und Owen Wilson spielen zwei ungleiche Männer, die eine lebenswichtige medizinische Lieferung transportieren müssen und dabei von einem gefährlichen Kartell verfolgt werden. Der Film kombiniert klassische Road-Movie-Elemente mit explosiven Actionszenen und einem emotionalen Kern. Mit Fast Food Nation widmen wir uns anschließend einem ganz besonderen Film von Richard Linklater. Das Drama aus dem Jahr 2006 basiert auf dem Bestseller von Eric Schlosser und wirft einen kritischen Blick auf die amerikanische Fast-Food-Industrie. Besonders interessant ist heute die hochkarätige Besetzung mit Namen wie Bruce Willis, Greg Kinnear, Patricia Arquette, Ethan Hawke und Paul Dano. Viele Themen des Films haben bis heute nichts von ihrer Aktualität verloren. Außerdem sprechen wir ausführlich über die Apple-TV+-Serie For All Mankind. Die von Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert und Ben Nedivi entwickelte Serie erzählt eine alternative Version der Raumfahrtgeschichte. Was wäre passiert, wenn die Sowjetunion zuerst auf dem Mond gelandet wäre? Aus dieser Ausgangslage entwickelt sich eine faszinierende Science-Fiction-Saga voller politischer Spannungen, technischer Innovationen und menschlicher Schicksale. Die Serie gilt für viele Zuschauer als eines der ambitioniertesten Science-Fiction-Projekte der letzten Jahre.

Filmmaker Katie Cokinos joins Damien Swaby to reflect on a career shaped by independent cinema, personal vision and the determination required to get unconventional films made. Katie recounts beginning her career at the Southwest Alternate Media Project—better known as SWAMP—in Houston.It was there that she first encountered Richard Linklater and helped his groundbreaking film Slacker secure completion funding, reach international festivals and ultimately find distribution.She discusses the film's initially difficult reception, including a sparsely attended screening at the Berlin International Film Festival market, and the small but decisive encounters that helped it connect with the right audience.The conversation also explores Katie's transition from supporting other filmmakers to finding her own voice as a writer and director.She reflects on the influence of the French New Wave, the difficulties historically faced by women filmmakers and the experience of being overlooked on the festival circuit while pregnant.Katie takes us behind the making of Portrait of a Girl as a Young Cat and I Dream Too Much, her coming-of-age feature starring Eden Brolin, Danielle Brooks and Diane Ladd, with Richard Linklater serving as executive producer. She reveals how motherhood changed her writing practice, how the film emerged after a 15-year gap between features and how an extremely low-budget production created convincing performances without conventional rehearsal time.Damien and Katie also discuss:• Why a filmmaker's personal vision matters• Helping Slacker find its audience after an early Sundance rejection• Learning the language of cinema outside film school• The influence of Agnès Varda and the French New Wave• Writing in the margins while raising children• The Jane Austen inspiration behind I Dream Too Much• Creating chemistry between actors on a limited schedule• Shooting through three weeks of heavy snow• Using slow motion to expand emotional time• Filming on an iPhone in New York without attracting attention• Richard Linklater's support across more than three decades• The challenge of bringing audiences back to cinemas after COVID• Why Katie prefers the economy of feature films to television series• Programming films for Upstate Films• Developing The Do Right, a period mystery set in 1973 Beaumont, TexasThis is a warm and candid conversation about artistic survival, creative identity and the unpredictable journey between imagining a film and finally bringing it to the screen.LINKSLearn more about Katie Cokinos:https://www.idreamtoomuch.com/katie-cokinos Follow Katie Cokinos on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/katiecokinos/Connect with Katie on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/katie-cokinos-99180a9/I Dream Too Much — official website:https://www.idreamtoomuch.com/ Watch I Dream Too Much on Amazon Prime Video:https://www.amazon.com/Dream-Too-Much-Katie-Cokinos/dp/B0CGQJ3ZQB Katie Cokinos on FilmFreeway:https://filmfreeway.com/KatieCokinosUpstate Films:https://www.upstatefilms.org/Slacker with Katie Cokinos — Upstate Films:https://www.upstatefilms.org/slackerAustin Film Society:https://www.austinfilm.org/Southwest Alternate Media Project (SWAMP):https://www.swamp.org/Richard Linklater / Detour Filmproduction:https://www.detourfilm.com/Former Filmmaking Conversations guest and entertainment attorney Reena Sehgal is the founder of Thoolie, a platform offering independent filmmakers accessible, professionally drafted contracts and practical legal resources: https://thoolie.com/?fbclid=PAdGRleAUMIhRwZG9mAmZkaWQWUN_VLZ5O00wAG5VJwcYKLJR7IDzX22V4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDzEyNDAyNDU3NDI4NzQxNAABp8YqORNw4HfUrakr47-VQNHxfRIZjdKym2B6azcV1UcQ8_XZ-K3QtetIdYci_aem_tFWU2agJYHfjePj36n5zqA

Neue Podcast-Episode: Coyote vs. ACME, Mayday, Last Flag Flying, Lanterns und Blade Runner: Slice of Life In der aktuellen Ausgabe unseres Film- und Serien-Podcasts nehmen wir gleich mehrere interessante Neuerscheinungen und Geheimtipps unter die Lupe. Von einer ungewöhnlichen Gerichtskomödie mit den Looney Tunes über ein Action-Abenteuer auf Apple TV+ bis hin zu einer neuen DC-Produktion und einem bemerkenswerten Fanfilm aus dem Blade-Runner-Universum bietet diese Episode jede Menge Gesprächsstoff für Filmfans. Den Anfang macht Coyote vs. ACME, die lange diskutierte Mischung aus Realfilm und Animation. Im Mittelpunkt steht Wile E. Coyote, der nach zahllosen Fehlfunktionen der berüchtigten ACME-Produkte rechtliche Schritte gegen den Hersteller einleitet. Unterstützt wird er dabei von einem Anwalt, gespielt von Will Forte. Der Film kombiniert klassischen Looney-Tunes-Humor mit einer überraschend modernen Story und sorgt nach seiner turbulenten Produktionsgeschichte für viele Diskussionen. Regie führte Dave Green. Anschließend werfen wir einen Blick auf Mayday, den neuen Apple-TV+-Film mit Ryan Reynolds und Kenneth Branagh. Die Action-Komödie erzählt die Geschichte eines amerikanischen Piloten, der während des Kalten Krieges hinter feindlichen Linien abstürzt und auf die Hilfe eines ehemaligen KGB-Agenten angewiesen ist. Der Film verbindet Survival-Elemente, Buddy-Movie-Humor und Spionage-Abenteuer zu einem unterhaltsamen Genremix. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt der Episode ist Last Flag Flying von Richard Linklater. Das Drama begleitet drei Vietnam-Veteranen, die sich Jahrzehnte nach ihrem gemeinsamen Militärdienst wiedersehen. Gemeinsam machen sie sich auf eine emotionale Reise, nachdem der Sohn eines ihrer Kameraden im Irakkrieg gefallen ist. Mit Steve Carell, Bryan Cranston und Laurence Fishburne bietet der Film eine außergewöhnlich starke Besetzung und behandelt Themen wie Freundschaft, Verlust und die langfristigen Folgen des Krieges. Im Serienbereich sprechen wir über Lanterns, die neue DC-Produktion rund um die Green Lanterns Hal Jordan und John Stewart. Die Serie verbindet Superhelden-Action mit einer Kriminalgeschichte und folgt zwei intergalaktischen Ordnungshütern, die einen mysteriösen Mordfall untersuchen. Viele Beobachter sehen in Lanterns einen der wichtigsten Bausteine für die Zukunft des neuen DC-Universums. Zum Abschluss widmen wir uns dem Blade-Runner-Fanfilm Slice of Life. Das ambitionierte Projekt beeindruckt vor allem durch seine handgemachten Spezialeffekte, Miniaturen und Matte Paintings. Die Macher verzichten nahezu vollständig auf CGI und orientieren sich bewusst an den Science-Fiction-Klassikern der 1980er-Jahre. Das Ergebnis ist eine atmosphärische Hommage an Blade Runner, die eindrucksvoll zeigt, was unabhängige Filmemacher mit Leidenschaft und Kreativität erreichen können.

The Analysis: A Movie and TV Podcast

Have a Negroni, have two, and get the cream sauce. Matt and Bob are back to review Tony, the new Anthony Bourdain biopic starring Dominic Sessa. Rather than attempting the usual cradle-to-grave biopic, the film zeroes in on one formative summer in a young Bourdain's life—before Kitchen Confidential, No Reservations, and Parts Unknown turned him into a cultural icon. The guys discuss why the movie works surprisingly well as a Bourdain origin story, Dominic Sessa's tricky task of capturing the essence of Bourdain without doing an impression, Antonio Banderas' scene-stealing mentor performance, and the film's blend of The Bear with the laid-back coming-of-age energy of Richard Linklater. They also dig into the movie's ideas about food, community, selfishness, and the experiences that eventually shaped Bourdain's worldview. Plus: callbacks to Kitchen Confidential, why Dominic Sessa desperately needs to escape the 1970s, Matt's encounter with Leonardo DiCaprio, and the triumphant return of an Analysis Awards category: Biopic That Was Worth a Shit.

Auf der Suche nach der Wahrheit gerät er in eine internationale Verschwörung und liefert die gewohnt kompromisslose Action, für die Jason Statham bekannt ist. Anschließend widmen wir uns Richard Linklaters neuem Film Nouvelle Vague. Das historische Filmdrama blickt hinter die Kulissen der Entstehung von Jean-Luc Godards legendärem Klassiker „Außer Atem“ und zeichnet die Geburtsstunde der französischen Nouvelle Vague nach. Für Liebhaber des klassischen Kinos und anspruchsvoller Filmkunst gehört dieser Titel zu den interessantesten Veröffentlichungen der letzten Zeit. Auch auf Netflix gibt es Nachschub für Thriller-Fans. Mit Die Festnahme erscheint ein packender Kriminalfilm, der von der spektakulären Verhaftung eines der berüchtigtsten Drogenbosse der Welt inspiriert wurde. Der Film konzentriert sich auf zwei Polizisten, die während einer routinemäßigen Kontrolle in eine lebensgefährliche Situation geraten und plötzlich einem international gesuchten Verbrecher gegenüberstehen. Actionfreunde kommen ebenfalls auf ihre Kosten. In Protector übernimmt Milla Jovovich die Rolle einer ehemaligen Soldatin, deren Tochter entführt wird. Die verzweifelte Suche führt sie tief in die kriminelle Unterwelt und sorgt für zahlreiche explosive Auseinandersetzungen. Der Film verbindet harte Action mit klassischen Motiven eines Rache- und Rettungsthrillers. Außerdem sprechen wir noch einmal über The End of Oak Street, eines der ungewöhnlichsten Science-Fiction-Abenteuer des Jahres. Nach einem mysteriösen kosmischen Ereignis wird eine Vorstadtsiedlung in eine fremde und extrem gefährliche Umgebung versetzt. Die Bewohner müssen ums Überleben kämpfen, während sie versuchen, die Ursache des Phänomens zu verstehen. Neben Filmen und Streaming werfen wir auch einen Blick auf den neuesten GTA VI Trailer. Rockstar Games sorgt weiterhin für enorme Aufmerksamkeit und schürt die Vorfreude auf eines der meist erwarteten Videospiele aller Zeiten. Abgerundet wird die Episode durch einen kurzen Rückblick auf die Gamescom 2026. Wir sprechen über die wichtigsten Ankündigungen, die größten Überraschungen der Messe und die Trends, die die Gaming-Branche in den kommenden Monaten prägen könnten.

Clif and Marty dig into the film's unique production, it's time-capsule quality and it's great technical achievement. The question at the heart of their discussion: is watching someone grow up enough to make a compelling story? Marty finds plenty to appreciate in Linklater's experiment, while Clif has a few more reservations.Then it's off to space for Project Hail Mary, the new sci-fi adventure starring Ryan Gosling as a science teacher who wakes up alone aboard a spaceship with no memory of how he got there. As his memories return, he discovers that saving Earth may depend on solving an enormous scientific mystery and an unexpected friendship. Clif and Marty talk science, storytelling, the film's visual choices, Ryan Gosling's particular brand of likability and how a big, expensive space movie can still feel surprisingly warm and human.Along the way: Ethan Hawke's questionable parenting choices, Beatles mixtapes, Ryan Gosling's Mickey Mouse Club past and Rocky the alien.#TalkingPondo #FilmPodcast #Boyhood #ProjectHailMary #RichardLinklater #RyanGosling #SciFiMovies #MovieReview Support the showFind our films here:The Love Song of William H ShawRevenge of ZoeWriting Fren-ZeeMaking Pondo on FacebookBlueskyInstagramMaking Pondo on Letterboxd:Season OneSeason TwoSeason ThreeSeason FourTheme Song "The Rain" by Russ PacePhotos by Geoffrey Notkin

Third Movies and Army of Darkness

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, we complete our accidental trilogy of “third things.” After covering Close Encounters of the Third Kind on the midweek show, we turn to Army of Darkness, Sam Raimi's third Evil Dead film, and use that as an excuse to dig into the noble, messy and often suspicious art of the threequel.There is no formal intro this week — time has apparently been attacked by Deadites — so we open with a catch-up on what everyone has been watching. Reegs has been busy with Backrooms, Obsession, Disclosure Day and Apple TV's Cape Fear, which gets a recommendation so long as you know going in that it is extremely ridiculous. Sidey has finally finished The Pit, finding the second season weaker than the first but still worth the time, and has also watched Backrooms and started The Mandalorian. Dan has finished series five of Slow Horses, which he continues to push as an absolute treat, and has also seen The Odyssey at the cinema, where three hours apparently went by surprisingly quickly.That leads us into the usual wandering preamble: 4DX screenings with shaking seats, water and wind; panoramic side-screen cinema formats; the Sphere in Vegas; Sidey somehow still not having made it to IMAX; Spider-Man: Brand New Day and big cinema opening weekends; Tom Holland and Jon Bernthal on Hot Ones; and the general horror of people getting overconfident with hot sauce before reality arrives in liquid form.The Top 5 this week is third films in a franchise, which gives us one of those lists where genuinely great films sit shoulder to shoulder with absolute nonsense. Dan opens strongly with The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, a film that swept the Oscars so hard it practically brought its own broom. Sidey goes for Toy Story 3, remembering Lotso, Spanish Buzz, the daycare escape, the furnace sequence and the emotional finality of Andy giving up his toys. Reegs makes a spirited defence of The Matrix Revolutions, arguing that its uneasy truce ending and refusal to give everyone a simple victory has aged better than its reputation suggests.From there, we move through Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, with Sean Connery, River Phoenix and the Holy Grail; The Bourne Ultimatum, which Sidey remembers as peak Jason Bourne closure and kinetic shaky-cam action; Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, praised by Reegs for Rocket's unexpectedly emotional backstory; The Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult, because Frank Drebin remains Frank Drebin; and Die Hard with a Vengeance, which gives Sidey an excuse to talk about Zeus, Simon Says, Jeremy Irons and New York puzzle chaos.There are plenty of other third-film detours too, including RoboCop 3, Austin Powers in Goldmember, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Alien 3, John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum, Back to the Future Part III, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, the Cornetto trilogy, Avengers: Infinity War, Blade: Trinity, Karate Kid Part III and Ocean's 13. Sidey bends the rules by choosing the third episode of Twin Peaks, “Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer,” while Dan lands on Before Midnight, the third film in Richard Linklater's Before trilogy.Eventually, we arrive in 1300 AD for Army of Darkness itself. Dan has not seen it, but has correctly gathered that this is not really the same kind of horror film as The Evil Dead. Reegs, who has seen it many times, explains the tonal journey of the series: the first film as bleak, grimy horror; Evil Dead II as a genuine horror-comedy masterpiece; and Army of Darkness as the point where Ash becomes the full cartoon version of himself — part action hero, part idiot, part Bruce Campbell chin-delivery system.We talk about Sam Raimi's direction, Bill Pope's cinematography before The Matrix, Danny Elfman's contribution to the score, and the way Raimi's visual energy clearly echoes forward into later filmmakers such as Edgar Wright. The plot is gloriously simple and gloriously stupid: Ash is dragged through time after Evil Dead II, lands in the middle of a medieval conflict between Lord Arthur and Henry the Red, gets thrown into a pit, fights Deadites, reclaims his chainsaw hand, introduces everyone to the boomstick, and immediately becomes insufferable once the locals start treating him as their prophesied saviour.The film then sends Ash off to retrieve the Necronomicon, with one very clear instruction: say the words “Klaatu barada nikto” before taking the book. Naturally, Ash being Ash, he half-remembers, fudges it and unleashes the titular army of darkness. Along the way we get the windmill sequence, tiny mirror Ashes, Three Stooges slapstick, bad Ash splitting out of good Ash, Sheila falling for exactly the worst man available, and a castle siege finale full of skeletons, homemade weapons, a modified car and Ray Harryhausen-style chaos.We also get into the two endings: the darker UK/director's cut version, where Ash takes too many drops and wakes up in a ruined future, and the more crowd-pleasing US S-Mart ending, where he returns to work, tells the story and gets one last heroic Deadite showdown. Reegs prefers the bleaker ending because it feels funnier and more in keeping with Ash's ability to mess up almost everything.The verdict is affectionate, even if slightly qualified. Reegs still thinks Evil Dead II is the one to watch if you only watch one Evil Dead film, and he does not think Army of Darkness is great in quite the same way. But it is funny, quotable, inventive and packed with cult moments: the boomstick, S-Mart, “primitive screwheads,” bad magic words, skeleton armies and Bruce Campbell at maximum Ash. Sidey thinks Dan would probably enjoy it, describing it as something like The Princess Bride with Ray Harryhausen effects and comedy horror nonsense thrown in.So the final recommendation is simple: if you only watch one, Reegs says watch Evil Dead II. If you ask Sidey, just watch them all.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us. We'll read out any texts we receive on the show.

Over the course of his career, no other director has documented the passage of time better on screen than writer-director Richard Linklater. The Texas filmmaker, synonymous with being one of the vital voices of the independent film movement of the 1990s, has used his filmography to record the most vital parts of our lives, and how those moments from our past and present can shape our future. Whether it's our first love and the long romantic journey with that person (the Before Trilogy), the magic of his childhood (School of Rock, Apollo 10½: A Space Age Childhood), the glory of high school and college (Dazed and Confused, Everybody Wants Some!!), the evolution of artistic expression (Me and Orson Welles, Blue Moon, Nouvelle Vague), Linklater has looked inward at the human condition expertly for close to forty years, but none more so perfectly than he did with his 2014 masterpiece, Boyhood. Originating as an idea in his mind over two and a half decades ago, Linklater assembled a cast and crew to go on a twelve-year journey of filming that would chronicle the life of a young boy from the age of six all the way to eighteen, from kindergarten to the end of high school. From the early 2000s to the mid-2010s, Linklater tinkered in the editing room with footage from limited days to shooting with his actors, sometimes even without a finish script, and sprung out a one-of-a-kind film that serves as a memory box for generation within its specific look at a boy growing up in South Texas as he's discovering who he wants to be, living with his mother and sister and occasionally spending time with his father when he is in town. In symbolic nod to the years, it took to make Boyhood, it returns to theaters for a run of anniversary screenings nationwide for its twelve-year celebration to re-explore the evolving yet universal themes Linklater concluded about adolescence, parenthood, siblings, and learning that the road to becoming the person we want to be takes exactly one thing Linklater has become known for, time. In a recent conversation, Linklater and I spoke about the origins of the project, collecting the music that made up the character's world, the evolving nature of the project, and retooling the film's narrative to fit the film's star Ellar Coltrane's life and interests. We also spoke about working with Patricia Arquette and Ethan Hawke, their growth within these characters as parents and how Arquette's role mirrored the life of Linklater's mother. Our discussion continued with what it was like to film eight other films while creating Boyhood, why San Marcos, TX was a great location to shoot the majority of the film (he continued to use this location for Everybody Wants Some!!), his optimism about the future generations on the whole as well as within the confines of artistic expression. In our final moments, Linklater teased his latest expansive project he's doing right now, an adaptation of the musical Merrily We Roll Along, this time with the film commencing over the course of twenty years to complete the time period of this celebrated work from Stephen Sondheim. While it seems like a daunting task, only Linklater would have the trust from audiences to deliver again once we are able to see the film in the years to come. But until then, the director, much like when he was making Boyhood, will continue to create great work that reminds us of his artistic super power; that by looking inward, we discover the value of our place, our time, and the skin we live in. Boyhood will receive a 12th anniversary theatrical re-release from Independent Film Company (IFC) on July 31.

On the 40th anniversary of Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode look at films that confine their action to a single day (and occasionally, night). From the high-stakes urban odyssey of Martin Scorsese's After Hours to the quiet contemplation of Agnès Varda's Cléo from 5 to 7, what difference does a day make to cinema?Ellen talks to screenwriter and novelist David Nicholls, whose international bestseller One Day followed a couple who meet on 15th July 1988, revisiting their lives on the same date every year for the next two decades.She also talks to creative writing professor and Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Kim Krizan, who co-wrote Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, the first two films in director Richard Linklater's time-constrained romantic drama trilogy. Meanwhile, Mark speaks to writer-director and Ferris Bueller superfan Emma Seligman, whose breakthrough feature Shiva Baby wrought extraordinary tension and comedy from the course of a single afternoon. And Mark also speaks to Danish-Norwegian director Joachim Trier. Now perhaps best known for Oscar nominees Sentimental Value and The Worst Person In The World, Trier made one of modern cinema's finest single-day films with 2011's Oslo, August 31st, which follows recovering heroin addict Anders over the course of a day and night.

Isaac edits at Letterboxd Journal and writes for RogerEbert.com and Fangoria, and as a former Eagle Scout, he might be the perfect guide to a movie about two guys going camping.Made for roughly $30,000 and shot in the forests east of Portland, Old Joy follows old friends Kurt (Will Oldham) and Mark (Daniel London) on a weekend trip to a hot spring deep in the Cascades. Almost nothing happens, and somehow everything does. It became Reichardt's calling card, earned rapturous reviews including four stars from Roger Ebert, and announced one of American cinema's most quietly essential filmmakers.The gang gets into why Reichardt remains a beloved secret, the kind of filmmaker fans swear will one day get a Criterion box and a wave of "how did we not know about this?" They dig into the ache underneath the film's radical simplicity, the suspense of a friendship that can't quite say what it means, the tender and unspoken queerness running through it, and why these two men sound less like a Richard Linklater hangout and more like real life. Plus Lucy the dog, "the John Cazale of canine performers," the perfect Old Joy double feature, and the image of a slug on a mossy boulder that Ebert never forgot.Why do we remember the small moments more than the big ones?

The result is a film unlike anything that came before it—and one that helped redefine what independent cinema could be.We discuss Linklater's unconventional approach to storytelling, the film's lasting cultural impact, and how Slacker laid the foundation for a career that would later include Dazed and Confused, Before Sunrise, and Boyhood.Is Slacker a masterpiece of indie filmmaking, a time capsule of a generation, or both?Unstructured, unconventional, and undeniably influential—this is the debut that put Richard Linklater on the map.#WatchTowerFilmPodcast #DirectorialDebutMonth #Slacker #RichardLinklater #IndependentFilm #IndieCinema #FilmPodcast #CinemaHistory #AustinTexas #CinephileTalk

Adaptation is a tricky thing no matter the source in cinema. Novels, life stories, historical events, original ideas, short stories. Adapting live theater plays is an especially tricky business. Something written to be performed live, often in 1 location/set, with concentrated poetic dialogue, plays different as a movie. Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill takes a look at everything from Sidney Lumet's adaptations of 12 Angry Men and Long Day's Journey into Night to all the various Shakespeare adaptations to experimental one location minimalist adaptations like Richard Linklater's 2001 Tape. His conclusion? It might help moviemakers to direct some plays to be better prepared to adapt them to the big screen.

Richard Linklater's Dazed & Confused  On this week's episode we explore 1976 through the eyes of 1993, with Richard Linklater's slacker/high-school masterpiece, Dazed & Confused. Linklater's love letter to high school coming-of-age films is one of the stand-out productions of early 90s independent cinema; a film that blends aimless storytelling with a pounding and nostalgic 70s soundtrack, to reminisce on the good, bad, boring, and character forming experiences of growing up. Juniors becoming Seniors, Middle-Schoolers transitioning to High School, Dazed & Confused is much more than a re-creation of Texas in 1976. Linklater's film is a funny, touching, and - surprisingly - heart-warming story of finding ones' way, selling out, peaking in high school, and imagining the future and ones' place in it. It's about the friendships we make and how so much of that plays a part in building our individual characters. Dazed & Confused is a cult classic which began the careers of Jason London, Adam Goldberg, Joey Lauren Adams, Cole Hauser, Nicky Katt, Parker Posey, and Matthew McConaughey. It's a thrill for Mr. Chavez & I to return to this classic and examine how so much of it mirrors our own lives. Take a listen and let us know what you think.

Forgive us our slight post-Oscar delay, dear listeners, but here we are for our eighth annual year-end review show, which we call 2025: Juke Joints and a Few Small Beers in honor of two of the year's (and perhaps the decade's or even the century's) most unforgettable films. This episode represents an exciting step for us as, for the first time, we welcome a guest: the redoubtable Kerry Cowan, brilliant teacher, lifelong film fan, and an old old friend of mine. Looking back at the year in film that was 2025, we noted that this was the first year since we started back in 2018 that we all really had trouble narrowing the field to a top ten. In the past, we've often had to stretch for the last couple, ending up with Top 7 or Top 8 lists. This year, as you shall see below and hear within, our problem was what to leave off. In a year of triumphs from sources both expected and unexpected, perhaps the best thing about the year was the return to form of some of our favorite directors: Coogler with "Sinners", PTA with "One Battle", our beloved Chloe with "Hamnet", Aronofsky with the underseen "Caught Stealing", Del Toro with "Frankenstein", Aster with "Eddington", Bigelow with "House of Dynamite" and the astonishing Richard Linklater with not one but two wonderful films. As always, we considered the eternal question of which of these films will be watched by anyone in 25 years, let alone show up the Sight and Sound poll in 2032. No doubt whatsoever about "Sinners" and "One Battle". I would throw "Eddington" on that list, as uneven as it is, since it points to a vivid moment in the American pageant, reminding us exactly when it was that we lost our minds. "Hamnet" will surely be there, and we suspect that the luminous "Train Dreams" might have some legs down the road. With Michael in the lead, we all loved "Sentimental Value" (besides the facial morph montage). None of us cared much for "Bugonia", though I actually came within 10 minutes of liking a Lanthimos film before that ending. We also ended up underwhelmed by "Marty Supreme", which personally killed me with its 50's setting clashing with 80's synth-pop throughout. Yes, we would have gotten the idea that the go-go Wall Street/American Psycho 80's had its roots in figures from the 50's like Marty without being hit over the head with it musically. Trust your audience, filmmakers! As for the Oscars themselves, it was another great party this year, only slightly spoiled by the fact that Michael won the pool by a landslide again this year. It's now 98 years and running with no black person winning for Best Director, but it's hard to complain about Paul Thomas Anderson finally winning after 14 nominations in almost 30 years of work. And the Cinematography award going to Autumn Durald Arkapaw, the first woman and black person to win that one, indicates that we may in fact be making progress. And they got it right with Michael B (finally), the lit-from-within Jessie Buckley (best acceptance speech), and "Sentimental Value"'s win for Foreign Language Film. As for the show itself, Conan was fine, though the bits were hit and miss as usual. We loved the "Bridesmaids" reunion, the "Moulin Rouge!" one not so much, and loved the painfully accurate "Casablanca" bit with Sterling K. Brown where plot elements have to be restated every couple of minutes or so to accommodate declining attention spans. And they finally got the necrology right, though we wish we had more time to see who came onstage for Rob Reiner; Rachel McAdams' tribute to Diane Keaton was lovely, but it did turn out that Babs' singing voice was not exactly like butter. So kick back, relax, and enjoy Kerry's star turn as our D'Artagnan, our Fourth Musketeer, as Team Vintage Sand reflects and reports on what was perhaps the best year in film since we started this lunacy some eight years ago, in the Before Time.

How seven years of making weird theatre in Brooklyn quietly set the stage for an HBO show. What it takes to write a quiet, character-driven show in a TV landscape built for plot. How a master's thesis on a diarist turned into one of the most beloved screenplays of the nineties. How Before Sunrise was built from index cards on a living room floor. Why thinking about the product kills the work, and what to focus on instead. The case for starting with character before plot, and letting the story follow. What breaking into TV actually looks like.
