Alien In Review is back to go over the last (for now) movie in the Alien saga left to cover: Ridley Scott's 2017 sequel to Prometheus, Alien: Covenant. We're focusing in on the SFX catching up to the intent of the Xenomorph and how it makes for the best version of the monster yet, how this sequel better balances the horror of Alien with the philosophy of Prometheus, if some of the decisions the characters make in the story are irrational, and analyze Michael Fassbender's captivating performance as both Walter, the new and improved Android model, and David, the complex synthetic from the first movies who's desire to create life at any costs birthed the Xenomorphs as we know them. Alien In Review will return!

They planned for 30 minutes. They fought for 24 hours.This week on The Commentary Booth, Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey head back into the dust, chaos and moral grey zones of Black Hawk Down. Join us as we commemorate the film's 25th anniversary with a deep dive into one of the most visceral, unflinching war films ever committed to screen.Based on the true events of October 1993, when 160 elite U.S. soldiers found themselves trapped in a deadly firefight in Mogadishu, this film remains a masterclass in tension, practical effects, and authentic storytelling. In this episode, Jamie and Corrina revisit Ridley Scott's relentless war epic, not to mythologise it, but to sit with it. The noise, the panic, the mistakes, the human cost.Highlights Breakdown: - Why Black Hawk Down still feels modern despite being 25 years old - The surprisingly stacked cast and the careers it quietly launched - Practical effects, real training, and why the violence feels so confronting - The film's rejection of clean hero narratives and patriotic gloss - How the Battle of Mogadishu reshaped modern military thinkingWhat starts as a discussion about a stacked cast quickly turns into something heavier. Watching it now, the film feels less like a traditional war movie and more like a survival document, raw, exhausting, and deliberately uncomfortable. Jamie and Corrina unpack why the film still holds up visually, how its practical effects amplify the brutality, and why its refusal to offer easy heroes might be its most lasting strength.They also dig into the real-world context behind the Battle of Mogadishu, the controversial mission planning, and the moments where Ridley Scott chose emotional truth over strict historical accuracy. It's a conversation that drifts between film craft, historical reflection, and that strange feeling of realising a movie you saw years ago hits very differently now.This isn't nostalgia. It's a re-evaluation. And it hits hard.This week's episode is brought to you byAustralian Wrestling CardsCheck out more great content from Pario Magazine on our website.-------------------------------------------------------------SUPPORT PARIO MAGAZINE & THE COMMENTARY BOOTH- PATREON- BUY MERCH- AMAZON PRIME VIDEO- TUBEBUDDY- Subscribe to AEW Plus using my code (q0yydoz) to earn $10 in FITE credit- Shop Online With Honey- Shop Online With SatechiMY EQUIPMENT- Elgato Facecam- Rode PodMic- Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP- Streamlabs Talk StudioFOLLOW JAMIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram- TikTokFOLLOW PARIO MAGAZINE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram
Join hosts Gaius and Jackson on Back To The Blockbuster as we dive deep into the iconic film 'The Silence of the Lambs' on its 35th anniversary and its 2001 sequel, Hannibal, for its 25th anniversary. Explore the psychological thriller's enduring legacy crafted by director Jonathan Demme and screenwriter Ted Tally, based on the gripping novel by Thomas Harris. Delve into the unforgettable performances of Jodie Foster as the determined Clarice Starling and Anthony Hopkins as the chilling Dr. Hannibal Lecter, alongside a stellar cast including Scott Glenn, Anthony Heald, Ted Levine, and Kasi Lemmons. Unpack the film's intricate narrative and haunting atmosphere that continues to captivate audiences decades later. In addition, we reflect on director Ridley Scott's visionary approach with Hannibal and how the source material and screenplay by David Mamet and Steven Zaillian created a much different beast from its predecessor. We revisit the performances of Julianne Moore as Clarice Starling, Gary Oldman as the grotesque Mason Verger, and Ray Liotta as the corrupt Paul Krendler, alongside returning stars Anthony Hopkins and Frankie R. Faison. Explore the darker themes and intricate character dynamics that define a much different chapter in the Hannibal Lecter saga compared to the first movie and how they measure up side by side on their respective milestone anniversaries.Where To Watch The Silence of the LambsWhere To Watch Hannibal
This time we're delving into the... is it alright to call it a cult classic? The reviled-in-it's-theatrical-cut-but-beloved-in-it's-director's-cut-version Ridley Scott epic, Kingdom of Heaven, form 2005, starring Orlando Bloom and Eva Green. A period drama about the crusades, Kingdom of Heaven tells the story of a guy who's somehow just a bit better at everything than everybody else who shows up in the middle of a bunch of crazy religious people and is asked to fix everything and then angrily ignored until it's unsalvageable. As a relatively lucid American living through the early 21st century, I have never felt more seen. Put your parallel-recognizin' hats on and float along with us, will you?
On this week's episode of Unclear and Present Danger, Jamelle and John were joined by Hilary Matfess of the University of Denver to discuss G.I. Jane, the 1997 military drama directed by Ridley Scott and starring Demi Moore and Viggo Mortenson. The discussion for this film revolves around the evolving role of women in the military, post-Cold War anxieties about American military readiness, the gender politics of the film, and what the movie might signify today, in the present.Matfess is the author of a new book, "Putting Women in their Place: Gender Power and World Politics," which is available wherever books are sold.For our next episode we are heading into 1998 with U.S. Marshals, the somewhat forgotten sequel to The Fugitive, starring Wesley Snipes and Tommy Lee Jones. And don't forget our Patreon, where we cover the films of the Cold War and do a regular politics show.

Pourquoi personne ne sait plus suivre un protocole sanitaire ?Cette semaine, on enfile nos combinaisons (celles qui ont des trous, visiblement) pour analyser la saga Alien, de ses origines métaphysiques à ses derniers cris dans l'espace.Au programme de cette expédition dont vous ne reviendrez probablement pas :Prometheus : Où l'on apprend que les créateurs de l'humanité sont de très mauvaise humeur le matin.Alien: Covenant : David joue de la flûte, et soudain, tout le monde passe un très mauvais quart d'heure.Alien: Romulus : On fait le point sur le petit dernier. Est-ce qu'on a enfin retenu la leçon sur les œufs bizarres dans les couloirs sombres ? (Spoiler : non).On décortique les choix de Ridley Scott, les expériences biologiques foireuses et on essaie de comprendre pourquoi, après 40 ans, les humains continuent de mettre leur visage au-dessus de trucs gluants.

Joanna Cassidy has never fit neatly into one lane, and that is exactly why she is unforgettable. In this episode of Still Here Hollywood, Joanna takes us from Syracuse University as an art student to a cross-country leap that landed her in Los Angeles and changed everything. She talks about her first film set experience with Walter Matthau and Bruce Dern, the shock of realizing she could actually act, and how her creative life has always lived in two worlds, performance and painting. We also dive into the legacy roles that keep getting rediscovered. Joanna shares what it was like stepping into Blade Runner as Zhora, working with Ridley Scott's meticulous vision, and why that film's impact only grew with time. She opens up about Six Feet Under and her love of dark humor, the craft difference between comedy and drama, the realities of aging in Hollywood, and what she believes keeps a creative person alive. Plus: animals, modernism, bungee fitness in Burbank, and the mindset that keeps her curious and working. Still Here Hollywood with Steve Kmetko. New episodes weekly.

This episode explores the background of the Czar reduced to tears after the Battle of Austerlitz. Many readers know little of the ruler Nicholas Rostov and countless officers were so devoted to.Over the last few years, you may have watched Ridley Scott's film “Napoleon.” I argue that the casting of Alexandr embraces a view of the filmmaker that aligns with the perception the fictional Nicholas held. Edouard Philipponnat as Alexandr was the standout in the film and embraced a youthful exuberance. Handsome and dashing, Scott captured the energy that Tolstoy depicts. Should you view a portrait of Alexandr, however, you will not see the equivalent of an Edourd or Brad Pitt. You will discover something that fits of Alexander Pushkin's description of Alexandr of being a “Balding Dandy.” Pushkin was exiled by Alexandr for anti-Czarist sentiments.Napoleon even wrote Josephine in 1807: “I am satisfied with Alexander and he ought to be satisfied with me. If he were a woman, I think I would make him my mistress.” Historically, the opposite may have been true. Alexandr may have taken up an affair with Josephine and assuredly did so with numerous beautiful and intelligent woman of the aristocracy.More Importantly, Alexandr has a fascinating background which contributes to turning him into the lamenting Sovereign at Austerlitz.Alexander's grandfather was Peter III, who was born in northern German speaking lands and was also, for a time, the presumptive heir for the throne of Sweden. Peter served as Czar for only six months before his wife, Catherine, plotted to overthrew him in 1762. Catherine was Germanic royalty who converted to Orthodoxy upon her marriage. Catherine moved quickly against her husband, who she regarded as lacking sense and maturity. She also considered him a drunk. Nevertheless, some German historians find Peter to be cultured and open-minded. Peter did have an openness to adapting European technology and placed the sciences on a prestigious level. After the coup, Peter was held in a prison and likely strangled. The official account was that the cause was a stroke or bowel obstruction. Catherine then ruled as regent for her son Paul, but never gave up any authority when Paul became of-age, around 1772. Catherine alleged, in memoirs and conversation, that Paul was sired by one of her lovers, which would mean Alexandr was not of any so-called Royal blood. Nevertheless, she took notable efforts to educate Paul's two sons, Alexandr and Konstantin.When Catherine died in 1796, Paul assumed leadership and met a similar end as Peter after a five year reign. Paul shares a complex reputation and was quite notably influenced by his love of Prussia, especially their military. Paul was most assuredly strangled in 1801. This second murder of a Czar within 40 years is what brought Alexandr (then 23) to the throne.As referenced, Catherine dedicated time to instruct Alexandr and his brother Konstantin. She would relay the importance of the French Revolution and read to them the Declaration of the Rights of Man. More consequentially, Catherine assigned Alexandr a Swiss tutor, Frédéric-César de La Harpe, to teach Enlightenment ideals. For generations, aristocratic households were commonly hiring French and Swiss educators. Peter the Great had a Swiss soldier and advisor, François Lefort, instruct him on how to follow the path of Europe.Alexandr took to his Swiss tutor and had a keen mind toward European ways. As soon as he became Czar, he put aspects of his education into practice, including creating an intellectual inner circle. Early on, this close group planned various reforms such as easing censorship and planning for a Constitution of the type sprouting around Europe.There was a recognition that serfs were the agricultural and military backbone – but this system would eventually have to change. Alexandr desired phase out serfdom but it didn't end until 1861. Alexandr went as far as issuing a voluntary decree - noting landowners could free their serfs and give them land if they desired. He understood what could and could not be done.Reports are that Alexandr considered himself to be inspired – something of a Chosen One. He felt it was ordained that he would prevail at the pivotal battle at Austerlitz, which he chose to be present at. The all-encompassing loss caused him to become utterly devastated.
In this episode of the show we are transitioning from discussing 80's fantasy to our February deep dive into 80's dystopian science-fiction. And you couldn't really ask for a better movie to kick off this series than the Ridley Scott-directed Blade Runner. Over the course of our conversation, which was just as ethereal and meandering as the movie itself, you will hear us talk about the many troubles this iconic cult classic faced when released, how the movie stacks up against the book, and where it brings novel material to the table. We also discuss Harrison Ford as a noir detective who wonders if he is real, Rutger Hauer as a haunting presence, the perils of listening to Vangelis while falling asleep and also how the movie prompted some of us to question the fabric of reality and wonder if we are all replicants after all.

"You can't open your own private mint moving that kind of liquidity and hope to stay under the regulatory radar." ~ Roy Sheinfeld Stablecoins are booming, but are they building toward something bigger - or just recreating the old system with a crypto coat of paint?

In this episode of the show we are diving into the Ridley Scott-directed Legend as part of our short exploration of 80s fantasy movies. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how the movie came together as an original vision driven by visuals and aesthetics, how Ridley Scott's background in commercial work shows in the finished product and how its dark fantasy provenance is only marginally propelled by its narrative. We also discuss Rob Bottin's makeup work, the character design and the many aesthetic touches that make Legend look as though it had more in common with 80s music videos than movies. Finally, we spare a few thoughts about the film's central performances and also stumble upon a whole genre of monster romance writing which also nearly derailed the entire conversation.Tune in and enjoy!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy BurrowsFeaturing: Tony Larder & Carson TimarHead over to uncutgemspodcast.com to find all of our archival episodes and more!Follow us on Twitter (@UncutGemsPod), IG (@UncutGemsPod) and Facebook (@UncutGemsPod)Buy us a coffee over at Ko-Fi.com (ko-fi.com/uncutgemspod)Subscribe to our Patreon!

We're hitting the road to talk about Duel, Steven Spielberg's first film, and we're joined by Mark Hofmeyer! After learning more Mark lore, we talk about the evolution of Duel from TV movie to full-length feature, the history of rye bread, and how impressive the filmmaking is in this film (on every level). Which Fast and Furious character would do the best in this situation? Mark quizzes us. We talk about how the whole film feels very Fast & Furious (2009) coded, when the movie feels the most like the Twilight Zone, and whether or not people were rooting for the trucker to win. We also talk about our favorite Spielberg chase scenes, cross this film over with Ridley Scott's The Last Duel, and pick Mark's brain for movies to watch in other laps.

You get chaos, passion, nostalgia, and one of the most honest movie conversations we've ever recorded on Born to Watch.In this special episode, Matt is joined by two very special guests, his wife, Meagan, and his daughter, Bel, as they attempt the impossible task of selecting the single best movie from every year between 2000 and 2025. One movie per year. No ties (mostly). No backing out (occasionally). And absolutely no pretending bad sequels didn't happen.Starting at the turn of the millennium with Gladiator, the episode charts the evolution of modern cinema, from epic blockbusters and genre-defining franchises to animated classics, emotional dramas, and films that completely changed how audiences experienced movies in the cinema.Along the way, the discussion covers everything from the dominance of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Christopher Nolan's genre-bending run, the rise and fall of superhero cinema, Quentin Tarantino's most personal work, unforgettable cinema moments like Avengers: Endgame, and the films that defined family movie nights in the White household.This episode isn't just about critical acclaim or box office numbers. It's about how movies land, who they stay with, and why some films become comfort watches while others hit you once and never leave. Belle brings a brutally honest Gen-Z perspective, Meagan balances emotion and realism, and Matt does what he does best: overanalyses everything while defending Nolan, Denzel, and Ridley Scott at every opportunity.There are laughs, genuine disagreements, questionable parenting admissions, and more than a few moments where the word "sequel" becomes a four-letter swear word. You'll hear passionate defences of animated films, heated debates over Bond rankings, and reflections on how cinema changed after COVID reshaped the industry.Whether you agree with the picks or want to argue every single one, this episode is a celebration of why movies matter, why watching them together matters more, and why trying to rank the Best Movies of This Century is both completely ridiculous and absolutely essential.JOIN THE CONVERSATION Which movie should have made the list? What film defines your century so far? Did we get it right, or completely butcher it?Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or at BornToWatch.com.au #PodcastAustralia #FamilyPodcast #CinemaHistory

What happens when a horror podcast crew wakes up too early from cryo-sleep, loses a crew member, unionizes against space labor violations, and accidentally reviews Alien (1979) from the middle of deep space? Chaos. Pure chaos..In this episode, we crash-land on Planet X to break down Ridley Scott's Alien—from chest-bursters and corporate greed to flamethrowers, killer androids, and the ultimate final girl, Ellen Ripley.Expect dark humor, absurd space banter, generational debates, and one very suspicious cat as we ask the real questions:
Are you ready to hear opinions that will make you scream? Can you believe some of the things that our cast this week believes? Are you the kind of person who is OK with pineapple on a pizza? Get ready for some wild points of view from Howard Casner, Dave Anderson and The Vern, because if you love Stanley Kubrick, Martin Scorsese, John Carpenter and Ridley Scott, these guys have opinions that may outrage you.
A couple previews clips from our recent Patreon-exclusive in-depth analysis of Ridley Scott's 1985 film Legend. The full-length discussion continues our research into 1980s MK-fantasy films, with Brett previously having offered comprehensive looks at Labyrinth and Return to Oz here on the Patreon and us having discussed the animated LOTR films and The Last Unicorn with Carrie Olaje on the main feed. In the full episode we talk about Ridley's career and the ultra-sus Scott family, the film's occult metaphysics, revelation of the method, programming tropes, and "marriage to Satan" theme.

This is it. This is the big one. We finally critique Ridley Scott's Oscar winning Gladiator, starring the formidable Russell Crowe as Maximus Decimus Meridius. He may be a father to a murdered son and a husband to a murdered wife, but does the movie he's starring in hold up after all these years? Mel takes us through the real history of Rome and its gladiatorial combat and gives us the lowdown on the many accurate and inaccurate aspects of the history that's represented. We also get into the detail on what it's like to work with the wild and legendary Oliver Reed, and how could we forget play the Russell Crowe Rotten Tomatoes game?

Just Shoot It: A Podcast about Filmmaking, Screenwriting and Directing
Bella Gonzales https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7543234/ brings a ton of insight about being a cinematographer on series like Pen 15, Fargo, Alien: Earth, and The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox.It's a really inspiring episode that made Oren want to pick up a camera and operate again. On the other hand, Bella is a self-described lighting-focused DP (Director of Photography). And her conversation with Matt and Oren details how her approach to cinematography enhances, and perhaps even creates, the world of the show more so than an operator-focused DP.Bella also gets into the playbook for Fargo and the rules of the road that create its uniquely offbeat look. And Bella lays out how this makes audiences feel more like they are inside the story.You won't want to miss this unique episode with a cinematographer who passionately explains the techniques she uses in the art of her craft.Find Bella on Instagram @bellagonzalesdp---Help our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/JustShootItPodMatt's Endorsement: Ethan Hawke on social mediaOren's Endorsement: a400 round base monopod https://www.ifootagegear.com/products/monopod-a400-roundbaseBella's Endorsement: "The Duellists", movie by Ridley Scott https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075968 Hosted on Acast.

Full disclosure time here on the READING MCCARTHY podcast. When Ridley Scott's film The Counselor arrived in theaters with its very own shiny McCarthy screenplay, I was underwhelmed. We'd been waiting for over half a decade for The Passenger and had no idea we'd be almost another ten years waiting for that project (and of course we had no concept of Stella Maris at the time). I found interesting elements in the film but didn't think it held together. But people smarter than me (such as my three guests in this program) convinced me to return to it it and here we are in a 2-parter. Appearing for the first time is Dr. Russell Hillier, whose consideration of the screenplay sparked my interest in returning for another bout: he is Professor of English at Providence College, Rhode Island. He is the author of two books, Milton's Messiah (Oxford University Press, 2011) and Morality in Cormac McCarthy's Fiction: Souls at Hazard (Palgrave Macmillan, 2017), and he is coeditor of Combined Lights: Comparative Essays on the Writings of John Donne and George Herbert (University of Delaware Press, 2021). Additionally, he has published articles on many authors in many journals. Returning as well is the excellent Dr. Dianne Luce. She is the author of Reading The World. Cormac McCarthy's Tennessee Period, University of South Carolina Press, 2009, and Embracing Vocation: Cormac McCarthy's Writing Life, 1959-1974, U South Carolina Press 2023. She is currently working on a second volume of Cormac McCarthy's Writing Life, covering 1974-1985. Bryan Giemza holds a Ph.D. and J.D. and is the Provost's Fellow for Outreach and Engagement in the Honors College at Texas Tech University. His books include Irish Catholic Writers and the Invention of the American South as well as Images of Depression-Era Louisiana: The FSA Photographs of Ben Shahn, Russell Lee, and Marion Post Wolcott (2017). His book Science and Literature in Cormac McCarthy's Expanding Worlds was published by Bloomsbury in 2023. As always, listeners are warned: there be spoilers here.

The Duellists (1977) & Top 5 Jewels – honour, obsession, and very stupid men with swordsIn this episode of Bad Dads Film Review, we kick things off with our Top 5 Jewels – a glittering mix of cursed stones, crime magnets and wildly impractical accessories. From the Pink Panther diamond and Uncut Gems' black opal to Titanic's Heart of the Ocean, Baz Luhrmann's blinged-out Great Gatsby, Moana's glowing heart of Te Fiti, and even that doomed chandelier in Only Fools and Horses, we rummage through cinema's treasure box to see which jewels genuinely sparkle and which belong in Claire's Accessories.Then it's back to 1977 for Ridley Scott's stunning directorial debut, The Duellists. Harvey Keitel and Keith Carradine play two French officers locked into a 15–year feud that starts over a petty slight and escalates into a lifelong obsession. We get into:Honour as addiction – why one of them simply cannot let it go, everHow the film turns duelling into a ritual of pride, stubbornness and self-destructionThe way the weapons, stakes and scars escalate with each encounterRidley Scott's eye for light, landscape and costume on a tiny budgetWhy the ending works so well, and what it says about victory, defeat and identityThere's also the usual Bad Dads nonsense: road-trip chat, Christmas hats in December, grumbling about “live-action everything” culture, and a detour into glass onions, murder mysteries and moving house back pain.If you like:Period dramas with gorgeous visuals and nasty steel-on-steel showdownsCharacter studies about pride, masculinity and grudges that outlive their purposeMovie list chaos that jumps from Disney to French noir to jewellery-based heists…then this is a perfect episode to jump into the pod.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.
