Tino "Der Foltermeister" Hahn ist zurück, um sein Quizgewehr auf die unbetuchten Kandidaten Daniel und André zu richten. Diesmal ist der Hahn auf den Hund gekommen und quält sie mit Air-Bud-Wahnsinn, erneut wahnsinnigen Abgründen beim Schrecken vom Amazon und dem großen Stand-off zwischen Martin Scorsese und Ridley Scott.
"Thelma et Louise", de Ridley Scott, sorti en 1991, est un road movie au féminin, Oscar du meilleur scénario. A lʹécran Susan Sarandon et Geena Davis dans les rôles principaux, jouant les filles de lʹair poursuivie par un flic atypique, Harvey Keitel. Le film lance également la carrière de Brad Pitt. "Thelma et Louise", cʹest lʹhistoire dʹune cavale involontaire dans des décors immenses, spectaculaires. Une légende féministe dont les héroïnes sont des Américaines moyennes confrontées à une foule dʹobstacles auxquels elles essaient simplement de survivre, répondant à la violence par la violence. Mais "Thelma et Louise", à sa sortie, déclenche les polémiques. Cette cavale de deux femmes tuant un homme, braquant une banque, ne plait pas à tout le monde. On a peur que dans la vraie vie les femmes fassent comme dans le film. Car pour la première fois au cinéma, "Thelma et Louise" montre deux personnages forts, deux femmes qui répondent par les armes à des agressions masculines. Ecrit par Callie Khouri, une scénariste, tourné par Ridley Scott, le plus américain des réalisateurs anglais, "Thelma et Louise" renverse les codes du road movie et présente une magnifique amitié au féminin. La scène finale, dʹanthologie, célébrant tragiquement le choix de la liberté, marque les esprits et est, depuis, devenue culte. "Thelma et Louise" est un film qui sonne juste et dans lequel se retrouveront bon nombre de spectatrices. Un quart de siècle plus tard, il nʹa pas pris une ride.

The final part of Issue 61 is a special Spotlight episode focusing on the films of Denis Villeneuve. Returning guest host Calum joins us to examine how this rather understated French Canadian filmmaker has quietly built up arguably the best filmography of the last 15 years. Films like Sicario, Arrival and the two Dune films show his ability to do things few other directors can, and we want to find out how he's done it. We pay particular attention to his mind-bending early independent film Enemy and his hugely ambitious follow up to Ridley Scott's sci classic with Blade Runner 2049. The other parts of Issue 61 are out now and the next issue of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd will be arriving from June 25th.

Per tutti gli amanti della serie tratta dal libro di Roberto Saviano, stanno per arrivare su Sky gli episodi del prequel "Gomorra - Le origini", previsto per l'inizio del 2026. Periodo caldo per l'assegnazione degli Oscar alla carriera: il magazine americano Variety stila un elenco dei personaggi più iconici che, incredibilmente, non hanno mai ricevuto alcuna statuetta e meriterebbero quindi un Oscar Onorario. Per citarne alcuni: John Travolta, John Malkovich, Michelle Pfeiffer, Ridley Scott, Glenn Close, Brian De Palma, Jim Carrey, Harrison Ford e molti, molti altri… Proprio Harrison Ford e le sue interpretazioni più memorabili sono i protagonisti della rubrica "5 cose che non potete non sapere" di questa puntata. Chi invece l'Oscar l'ha vinto è Robert De Niro, presto nuovamente al fianco di Ben Stiller e, per l'occasione, anche di Ariana Grande nel quarto capitolo del film "Ti presento i miei". In chiusura, uno sguardo alle uscite del momento. Per gli amanti del cinema è nelle sale "Ballerina", spin-off di "John Wick" con Ana de Armas mentre, per i pantofolai, i The Jackal tornano su Prime Video con "Pesci Piccoli 2" e Netflix rilancia con "Fubar 2" con Arnold Schwarzenegger, un altro che al momento -quanto ad Oscar- è ancora a bocca asciutta.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welkom bij een nieuwe aflevering van Nerd Culture, dé nerd-podcast waar we alles bespreken wat speelt in de wereld van films, series, comics en popcultuur. In aflevering 212 duiken we in het laatste nieuws, checken we verse trailers en praten we je bij over alles wat je niet mag missen. Van Ridley Scott die afscheid neemt van Alien, tot geruchten over een terugkeer van True Detective met McConaughey en Harrelson, en Tony Gilroy die keihard moest knokken voor het budget van Andor seizoen 2. Zet je schrap, want we hebben weer een bomvolle show voor je klaarstaan!Ridley Scott is klaar met de Alien franchiseRidley Scott, de legendarische regisseur van de originele Alien, heeft aangekondigd dat hij niet langer actief zal bijdragen aan de franchise. Hoewel hij nog betrokken blijft als producent, vindt de 87-jarige filmmaker dat hij “genoeg heeft gedaan” na het regisseren van onder meer Prometheus en Alien: Covenant. Scott geeft aan dat hij na Alien Resurrection de kwaliteit van de reeks zag afnemen en betreurt dat Alien niet de status van Star Trek of Star Wars heeft bereikt. Toch koestert hij hoge verwachtingen voor de toekomst van de serie, zeker nu er nieuwe projecten aankomen zoals de film Alien: Romulus en de Hulu-serie Alien: Earth, waar Scott als uitvoerend producent bij betrokken blijft.True Detective keert terug naar z'n rootsNic Pizzolatto, de bedenker van True Detective, heeft onthuld dat hij een idee heeft voor een nieuw verhaal rond Rust Cohle en Marty Hart, gespeeld door Matthew McConaughey en Woody Harrelson. Hoewel hij nog niets heeft geschreven, heeft hij het concept al besproken met de acteurs, die openstaan voor een terugkeer. Pizzolatto stapte in 2019 zelf uit de serie nadat hij “spiritueel moe” was van de donkere thema's en zich wilde focussen op het vaderschap. Inmiddels werkt HBO aan een vijfde seizoen van True Detective met Issa López als showrunner, nadat zij eerder verantwoordelijk was voor Night Country.Streaming is dood volgens Disney insidersAndor-bedenker Tony Gilroy onthulde tijdens het ATX Television Festival dat hij hard moest vechten voor het budget van seizoen 2. Ondanks het succes van seizoen 1 kreeg hij van Disney te horen dat “streaming dood is” en dat er minder geld beschikbaar was. Gilroy vocht echter om de creatieve vrijheid en schaal van de serie te behouden. Hij benadrukte dat hij bij Andor nooit concessies hoefde te doen, zelfs niet toen controversiële uitspraken als “F*ck the Empire” werden gemaakt. Ondanks Disney's verschuiving van streaming naar bioscoopfilms blijft Andor een van de meest geprezen Star Wars-series tot nu toe. 00:00:00 Nerd Culture #21200:00:20 Wat gaan we vandaag doen?00:06:07 Wat hebben we gekeken/gelezen/geluisterd?00:06:30 The Phoenician Scheme00:10:30 Mission Impossible Rogue Nation00:14:47 Alien: Earth Trailer00:33:46 Ridley Scott is in principe klaar met de Alien franchise00:39:50 Tom Felton keert terug als Draco Malvoy00:42:23 George R.R.

"Murderbot" liefert genau das, was sich Fans intelligenter Sci-Fi erhoffen durften: eine düstere, stilvolle und erstaunlich emotionale Adaption der preisgekrönten Novellen von Martha Wells. Die Serie erzählt die Geschichte eines Sicherheitsroboters mit gehacktem Bewusstsein, der lieber Serien schaut, als Menschen zu retten und dabei nach Freiheit, Sinn und Identität sucht.Apple TV+ gelingt mit "Murderbot" der Spagat zwischen Action, Reflexion und feinem Humor. Der melancholische Antiheld trifft einen Nerv: halb Maschine, halb Mensch, aber ganz eigenständig. Visuell beeindruckend, erzählerisch dicht und mit leiser Wucht inszeniert, ist "Murderbot" ein stilles Highlight im Sci-Fi-Genre.Eine ausführliche Kritik zu "Murderbot" von Ronny Rüsch - jetzt in einer neuen Folge des Film- und Serien-Podcasts "Oscars & Himbeeren". Außerdem dabei: die Drama-Komödie "Saturday Night", Ridley Scott's "Gladiator II" sowie die Comicverfilmung "The Crow".

Send us a textWilliam Gibson described Cyberpunk as a fusion of high-tech and low-life, exploring the intersection of technology, cybernetics, and computer networks on human society in a near-future, often dystopian setting.If you don't know who William Gibson is then shame on you.Like most people out there, my first exposure to Cyberpunk was Blade Runner. The 1982 movie by Ridley Scott blew me away. After that I watched movies like Freejack and Johnny Mnemonic, Akira, and Ghost in the Shell. it wasn't until the late 90's that I started diving into the literary world of Cyberpunk with Nuromancer and Snowcrash.I loved the setting, the style, the tech, and the action, but I never got into the roleplaying games. I heard about Cyberpunk, and Cyberpunk 2020. But for some strange reason I never picked them up.Then Mike asked me if I was interested in playing Cyberpunk Red.I jumped at the chance.Mike ran our group though almost a year of Cyberpunk using the Cyberpunk Red rules and we have recently started up again focusing more on the Edgerunner 2077 expansion for Cyberpunk Red.After that much game time, we got opinions.In this episode Mike, Christina and I are going to give you an honest, unbiased review of Cyberpunk Red.But before we do that, Christina, break down the legalese for us.[Kick to Christina so she can go on about how we haven't been paid or compensated in any way for our opinion and we bought the shit with money out of our own pocket.]Now Mike, Start us off on our review of Cyberpunk Red.

"More human than human" is our motto. We watched "Blade Runner" (1982) and "Blade Runner 2049" (2017) with our friend Drew Stanley, and we're in the market for one of those replicant owls. The original "Blade Runner" is a sci-fi classic, and while Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard couldn't be any more straight, the replicant Roy Batty as portrayed by Danish import Rutger Hauer is so queer-coded we're still talking about it 40 years later. Director Ridley Scott's "Cassette Punk" vision of Los Angeles in 2019 by way of 1982 is so grimy, analogue, and punk rock... it almost matches up with modern tech. Swap out the flying "spinner" police cars for those self-driving Waymo menaces, and it's almost as if we're living in a dystopian future... oh wait. Jump to 2017 (in the real world), and we get "Blade Runner 2049," in which the future of 2019 that was predicted in 1982 is portrayed, and I think I need an ibuprofen. Denis Villeneuve takes up the mantle from Ridley Scott, and this kind of heavy lifting really takes an auteur like Villeneuve to pull off. Ryan Gosling as replicant Blade Runner "K" is doing some fine work, as is the rest of this amazing cast. We talk about our favorite futuristic glam-bots (of which there are many to choose from), the age-old question of whether or not Deckard (Ford) is a replicant, and try to stave off the several many "Dune" comparisons we really want to bring up. Break out your Los Angeles atlas and get ready for a cyberpunk adventure.

Young Dave, armed with a love for Star Wars and a soft spot for everyone's favourite scruffy-looking nerf herder, thought he was in for another dose of Han Solo heroics when switching on Blade runner. What he got instead was something a little moodier, a lot rainier, and less exciting than Songs of Praise.The production of Blade Runner (1982) was as tumultuous and moody as the rain-soaked, neon-lit world it depicted. Directed by Ridley Scott, fresh off the success of Alien, the film was envisioned as a noir-infused sci-fi adaptation of Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?. The shoot was plagued by creative clashes between Scott and the American crew, who bristled at his demanding style, and constant interference from producers worried about the film's slow pace and philosophical ambiguity. Principal photography was grueling, with night shoots, complex visual effects, and an increasingly strained atmosphere on set. Lead actor Harrison Ford reportedly had a difficult working relationship with Scott, and the overall mood was so tense it was dubbed “Blood Runner” by some of the crew.Post-production proved just as chaotic. The studio, concerned that the film was too cerebral and obscure, insisted on adding a noir-style voiceover narration and a more upbeat ending—changes that Scott strongly opposed. Multiple versions of the film were created to satisfy different markets and test audiences, adding to the confusion. Upon release, Blade Runner received mixed reviews and underperformed at the box office, overshadowed by more accessible summer hits. Yet over time, the film's groundbreaking visual design, atmospheric world-building, and deep philosophical themes helped it gain a devoted following, eventually being recognized as a cornerstone of science fiction cinema.If you enjoy the show we have a Patreon, so become a supporter.www.patreon.com/thevhsstrikesbackTrailer Guy Plot SummaryIn a future where it always rains and everything is soaked in neon, one man must hunt what isn't supposed to be hunted. Harrison Ford is Rick Deckard — a retired blade runner pulled back in for one last job. His mission? Track down and "retire" a group of rogue replicants who aren't going quietly into the night. But as the line between man and machine blurs, the hunter begins to question everything. Get ready for a showdown where the future looks grim, the androids look angry, and the noodles are always hot.

It's a funny week for physical media. In that there are some tremendously funny movies in the mix but also some landmarks to put in your library. Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski guide you through the work of Charles Burnett and the singular film by Kerry Conran. They take you through the multiple versions of a Ridley Scott epic, perhaps the best of the Musketeers films and the weird backstory of an SNL sequel. Warner Archive has a couple of biopics named after songs as well as Al Pacino's Oscar-winning role. A collection of Audie Murphy titles are followed up with a conversation of one of the 1980s' cable staples re-written by John Hughes. Finally, two of the best comedies of the past 30 years should be a double feature that everyone listening should want to make an evening out of.1:35 - Criterion (Killer of Sheep 4K, The Three Musketeers & The Four Musketeers 4K)18:16 - Disney (Kingdom of Heaven 4K)28:06 - Warner Archive (Lean on Me, La Vie en Rose)40:39 - IFC (Love Crime)44:22 - Shout (Scent of a Woman 4K, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow 4K)1:02:22 - Kino (Audie Murphy Collection IV, Nate & Hayes, Wayne's World 2 4K, Kingpin 4K, Bottoms)1:58:29 - New TV on Blu-ray (Outlander Season 7, Yellowstone Season 5)1:59:56 - New Blu-ray AnnouncementsCLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST This is a public episode.

That's right, it's Frank Herbert's seminal epic Dune. We will once again look for Satan in Science Fiction through the lens of the Christ Myth. The idea of a chosen one, a demi god, not exactly god but more than human with supernatural powers coming to rescue us all from evil.

Blade Runner takes the concept of A.I. to its logical conclusion by merging it with artificial consciousness and biology. Is this the future we're headed toward?“Wake up, time to die!”LeonWhen Ridley Scott's Blade Runner was first brought to the screen in 1982, the notion of “artificial intelligence” as we have come to know it, was a niche subject at best. If you can believe it, the idea of a personal computer in every home (never mind in your pocket) was enough of a novelty for most people that the concept of androids so lifelike that you could barely tell them apart from actual human beings felt about as far-fetched as a lightsaber or a chestburster, despite the film's low key and distinctly film noir approach to science fiction.Ah, but what a difference a couple of decades makes. Today your social media feeds are flooded with lifelike AI images of people who don't exist, swarmed with engagement by bots, depicts video of events that never took place and even music that was never composed by a human. People talk to ChatGPT when they're lonely. While that's still an order of magnitude away from putting an indistinguishable artificial intelligence into a similarly indistinguishable biomechanical body, who knows what advances in technology might bring us in another 20 years?Which brings us to our latest episode, which as you can probably figure out, is putting the concept of replicants from Blade Runner to the test.Watch the latest episode of Does it Fly? right here… https://youtu.be/GU8SgYWDaMISUGGESTED VIEWING There's more to the Blade Runner franchise than you might initially suspect, but for our discussion in this episode we only focused on the two feature films, Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049. Everything you need to know is contained in those, and honestly, there are those among us who think the sequel might surpass the original in some ways.But if you want to dive into the entire screen franchise in timeline order, we've got a handy viewing list for you. Blade RunnerBlade Runner Black Out 2022 (anime short film)Blade Runner: Black Lotus (anime TV series)2036: Nexus Dawn (short film)2048: Nowhere to Run (short film)Blade Runner 2049FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?Philip K. Dick's 1968 novel forms the basis for the entire Blade Runner franchise. It's considerably different from the first movie, although elements of it also made it into Blade Runner 2049.Building Replicant BodiesThere are two key parts of the scientific debate surrounding replicants. Let's start with the physical, because these aren't mere robots, they're biological organisms in their own right. Hakeem points to the field of regenerative medicine (perhaps best known to the general public for work with stem cells) for its ability to grow working organs and body parts in lab conditions as the first key to bringing artificial humans to life in a way that would be almost undetectable.See also: organoids and artificial wombs for some of the more stunning possibilities.Artificial ConsciousnessThere's a difference between artificial intelligence (which is a rapidly evolving field and one we continue to litigate the ethics of as it relates to creativity) and artificial consciousness. The replicants as depicted in Blade Runner, especially the film's villain, Roy Batty, would seem to have achieved consciousness and an attendant awareness and fear of their own mortality. And there are indeed people studying the possibility of artificial consciousness and the ethical implications that might come with that.Talk to us when there's artificial empathy, then we might feel better (and of course, there's a test for that!).“Night, Wet, Smoke”The three key visual ingredients Ridley Scott used to create his sci-fi noir are discussed in detail here.WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?For a different look at artificial life, cybernetics, and the intersection between humanity and machine, check out our episode on RoboCop right here!This isn't the first Ridley Scott movie we've tackled here.

Send us a textWe're both big fans of the film Gladiator so we were really excited for Gladiator 2 when it was announced. Even more so when we found out Denzel was going to be in it.

As we celebrate yet another May the 4th (be with you), Mikey, d$ and #XlessDrEarl change up their Star Wars topics a bit - instead of fave scenes or ranking the movies, this time, its a look at all the movies that Star Wars inspired... some that turned out to be legendary... some that turned out to be legendarily bad... Can't Force alone, so the crew invites in Fan Fave and longtime friend of the show Hurricane Rhett Barnett, and he gives his own take on the 2024 comedy horror movie "Heretic" as well as a brief chat about the rerelease of "Revenge of the Sith", which has Mikey using the word "Refractory" and Rhett using the phrase "Marital Bed". Then they play what turns about to be a disastrous version of "Everything Everywhere All At Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", which may end up being retired at some point because no one can play the stupid thing (note: d$'s opinion). Then, a top five of Star Wars Adjacent, with some classic Flash Gordon and a chat about Sam Jones and Jacko (OY!), plus star fighters and dark stars and stars with battles beyond them, plus a glave, a hole, Ridley Scott's inspiration, and even kitchen appliances in a classic short film.

We're heading out for a road trip with two ladies who are doing it for themselves! Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon star as the titular leads in this 1991 road trip crime drama from director Ridley Scott. When a girls' weekend getaway goes awry, a waitress and housewife must dodge the law and would-be lovers to make a true getaway. But when their luck runs out, they must take a leap of faith. Co-starring Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen, Christopher McDonald, Stephen Tobolowsky, and Brad Pitt, the film won multiple awards, including the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for writer Callie Khouri.
