Lay down the red carpet and brace yourselves as MONSTER PARTY presents… JOHN STANLEY'S CELEBRITY ONSLAUGHT!!! JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, have not made a secret of their love for JOHN STANLEY! From 1979 to 1984, John was the host of the San Francisco Bay Area TV series, CREATURE FEATURES, taking over from legendary first host, BOB WILKENS. Since that time, he has gone on to author many books, including several editions of THE CREATURE FEATURES MOVIE GUIDE, THE GANG THAT SHOT UP HOLLYWOOD, THE NOVELS “WORLD WAR III (AKA NAPALM SUNDAY)” AND “BOGART 48,” THE AUTOBOIGRAPHICAL “I WAS A TV HORROR HOST,” and the recent follow-up to that classic tome, “THE CAREER THAT DRIPPED WITH HORROR.” When it comes to films, John directed the love letter to the horror genre, “NIGHTMARE IN BLOOD,” as well as producing many other movies, documentaries, music videos, and shorts. During his time as the host of CREATURE FEATURES and his 33-year stint as an entertainment writer for the SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, John Stanley had the dream job of interviewing countless (unless you count them) actors, filmmakers, writers, and other celebrities. We're talkin' folks like THE CAST OF STAR WARS, IRWIN ALLEN, RIDLEY SCOTT, LEONARD NIMOY, HARLAN ELLISON, FRANK GORSHIN, ADAM WEST, STEPHEN KING, JAMES STEWART, CHUCK NORRIS, MAX VON SYDOW, RAY HARRYHAUSEN, NICHOLAS MEYER, ROBERT BLOCH, ROGER CORMAN, CLINT EASTWOOD, CHRISTOPHER LEE, RAY BRADBURY, RODDY MCDOWALL, CHRISTOPHER REEEVE, BRUCE LEE, and MANY more!

We kick off Tom Cruise season by putting Legend (1985) on trial. Will it cruise to victory or fail to curry favour? Dave defends, arguing that incredible character and set design, alongside an iconic performance from the legendary Tim Curry, make this a hit. Alex disagrees, saying there isn't enough make up in the world to disguise a story that lacks any emotional depth. All this with an impression of Tim Curry and a quiz where Dave and Alex test each other on the career of Tom Cruise. www.filmsontrial.co.uk/271

20 Years Later, Did We Judge it Too Harshly? Released in 2005 and directed by Ridley Scott and written by William Monahan, “Kingdom of Heaven” starring Orlando Bloom, Eva Green, Liam Neeson was a box office disappointment and a critical punching bag. But 20 years on, does it deserve a second look? A director's cut of the film offered a new perspective on the project with 45 minutes worth of scenes restored that was much more well-received by fans and critics alike. Join us as we debate the merits of this Crusades epic, its performances, its message, and whether time has been kinder to this ambitious, flawed, but ultimately fascinating film. We also get into the discussion regarding studio interference and if they should have the final say in the final cut of a film, especially with an auteur like Ridley Scott at the helm, or if creatives should remain the last voice in terms of a film's final cut before it hits the big screen.Where To Watch Kingdom of Heaven

The Spin Chagrin, a concept that finds Frank having to watch a movie he's never seen before based on the random spin of a wheel filled with off-the-wall genres, continues into its fourth year. All the categories are quotables from Frank himself. In this episode, Frank's category was "I am the real chagrin.” For this category, he watched a slew of movies from Ridley Scott's Gladiator II, the Jack Quaid vehicle Novocaine, and episodes 1-6 of the Star Wars trilogy.

We enter a new century by jumping back to an old trend and an adaptation of an old TV show, seems about right for 21st century Hollywood. First, the Oscar goes to Ridley Scott's Gladiator, a return to old-school sword and sandal action, only without the Jesus angle. Historical accuracy is nowhere to be found, the plot doesn't merit a lot of deep thought, but Erin, Claire, and Dan answer the important question: are they, in fact, entertained? And then Dan gets a special treat: one and only one (unless the Academy makes wild choices in 2026) chance to talk about the oeuvre of one Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible 2, and boy if you thought the LAST one was goofy... The action is as intense as the plots are thin, join us to unpack both!Find all of our episodes and the rest of Writing Therapy Productions' various entertainments at www.writingtherapyproductions.com

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! Acceso anticipado para Fans - Estrenamos nuevo spin off. Nace Criterio Troll, el espacio donde los miembros de Criterio Cero podemos desahogarnos contra aquellas películas que de una forma o de otra nos decepcionaron, sentimos incluso que nos pudieron ofender de alguna manera o sencillamente consideramos tan malas, que van a servir de saco de boxeo donde soltar nuestras frustraciones. Para comenzar, nada mejor que apalear a un director que se lo gana a pulso en los últimos años como es Ridley Scott y su última vomitona, Gladiator II. Un insulto a la figura de Máximo, que se pasa por la piedra cualquier tipo de coherencia de la primera película solo por buscar una excusa para una secuela innecesaria a todas luces (salvo que hubieran rodado la locura de Nick Cave, claro). Partiendo de la base de la incoherencia que es hacer pasar a Lucio por hijo bastardo de Máximo, la peli suma y suma errores garrafales, a los que se añaden los históricos (que le perdonamos a la primera) acrecentando aún más el ego estratosférico que tiene este director demostrado en las entrevistas de Napoleón (buscad sino nos creéis). Vienen a trolear, apalear o lo que surja a esta película, Ale Oñate, Guillermo y Pepe Soto. Y alimenta su odio Salva Vargas. Y recordad, esta es nuestra opinión, si te ha gustado la peli nos alegramos, en serio, sí nos alegramos Este programa cuenta con la producción ejecutiva de nuestr@s mecenas, l@s grandes, l@s únicos Kamy, Lobo Columbus, Enfermera en Mordor, Javier Ramírez, La Casa del Acantilado, Shinyoru, José Percius, Diana, Josemaria1975, Francisco Javier Chacón, Kal-el__80, David, Cohaggen, Elena Gómez, Álex El Cimerio, Iván Alonso, Javi, Belethparmaiel, olgafies y JohnJoe96. ¿Quieres ayudarnos a seguir mejorando y creciendo?

Journey with us as we discuss Ellen Ripley's second encounter with the Xenomorphs along with all the world building elements that expand the world of Alien.

Voiced by Jemaine Clement?This week it's another LEGO animated spectacular, but it's NOT a bonus, because Batman is the main character!

American Gangster (2007) is Ridley Scott's homage to The French Connection: it's got the right cars, clothes, and colors and is based on another true story of an obsessed cop trying to take down a drug kingpin. The feature (or the bug, depending on how you look at it) is Denzel Washington in the title role. Is an actor so charismatic that everyone talks as if they are on a first-name basis with him actually a liability in a movie that wants to tell a story of a large-scale heroin dealer who, in the movie's first scene, burns a man alive? Can an actor's star power ever backfire? John McCarty's Bullets Over Hollywood (Grand Central Publishing, 2005) traces the gangster film and explores the enduring appeal of the genre.

"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. REFERENCES MONNIER, Claude, Ridley Scott, le cinéma des ténèbres, lʹHarmattan, 2014

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.

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.

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.  Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe, rate and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Bluesky: @MTMUGPod.bsky.social Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna

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.
