This week, we discuss two films that feature characters being terorrised by vehicles. The first is Christine (1983), a supernatural horror film co-scored and directed by John Carpenter and starring Keith Gordon, John Stockwell, Alexandra Paul, Robert Prosky and Harry Dean Stanton. Adapted from Stephen King's 1983 novel of the same name, the movie follows the changes in the lives of Arnie Cunningham, his friends, his family, and his teenage enemies after he buys a classic red and white 1958 Plymouth Fury named Christine, a car that seems to have a mind of its own and a jealous, possessive personality, which has a bad influence on Arnie. The second is Duel (1971), an action-thriller directed by Steven Spielberg. It centres on a travelling salesman David Mann (Dennis Weaver) driving his car through rural California to meet a client. However, he finds himself chased and terrorised by the mostly unseen driver of a semi-truck. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, with Spielberg's direction being singled out for praise. It has since been recognised as an influential cult classic and one of the greatest films ever made for television.

Mrs. Doubtfire is a 1993 American comedy drama film directed by Chris Columbus and written by Randi Mayem Singer and Leslie Dixon, based on the 1987 novel, Madame Doubtfire, by Anne Fine. Robin Williams, who also served as a producer, stars with Sally Field, Pierce Brosnan, Harvey Fierstein, and Robert Prosky. It follows a recently divorced voice actor who disguises himself as an elderly female housekeeper to be able to interact with his 3 children. The film addresses themes of divorce and the effects it has on a family.

Disclaimer: SPOILERS!! Juan, Marc, and Kevin continue their journey through the past and arrive at the 80's . Juan was the one tasked with selecting a movie from this decade that no one in the group had seen. He selected "Thief", directed by Michael Mann, and starring James Caan, Jim Belushi, Robert Prosky, Tuesday Weld, and Willie Nelson. After serving his time in prison, Frank has been reshaping his life with various entrepreneurial endeavors, but what he's really good at, stealing gems, is his real bread-maker. After serendipitously meeting Leo, a crime boss, Frank is provided with the opportunity at a huge score. Though he initially refuses, Frank goes against his better judgment for a chance at a huge pay day and a shortcut to his happily ever after. Of course, all that glitters isn't always gold.

Tune in as Patrick (Vintage Video) hangs out with Arthur for a discussion on Mrs. Doubtfire, the 1993 family comedy (or thriller, depending on how you look at it) starring Robin Williams as a dad who's going through a divorce and just wants to spend more time with his kids. So what does he do? Why, he disguises himself as an elderly British woman and finagles his way into becoming their nanny. Yep, nothing major. Transphobic gags being juggled alongside some surprisingly positive facets of queer rep, questioning whether or not the movie truly understands how allergies work, and its progressive perspective on divorce are a few of the talking points that come up on this episode. Directed by Chris Columbus (Home Alone), Mrs. Doubtfire stars Robin Williams, Sally Field, Pierce Brosnan, Lisa Jakub, Matthew Lawrence, Mara Wilson, Robert Prosky, Anne Haney, Harvey Fierstein, Scott Capurro, Martin Mull, and Polly Holliday.

We continue the month of Mannuary with Michael Mann's first big-screen picture, 1981's Thief. We're talking James Caan, the lovable (until he's not) Robert Prosky, Tangerine Dream's awful score (yeah, we said it), and the stellar diner scene with Tuesday Weld. Plus: Corrye's year in review from 2022, which was neck-deep in bangers. We've also discovered an old school Pizza Hut restaurant (like, an actual hut from the '80s). And...is Coppola's new film truly a disaster behind the scenes? And for dessert: James Caan's one line that Luke SWEARS he tried on his wife when they were dating.
Original Airdate 12/18/2014Jesse Starcher and Mark Radulich ring in the New Year with the alternative Christmas classic, Gremlins (and Gremlins 2).Gremlins is a 1984 American comedy horror film directed by Joe Dante from a screenplay written by Chris Columbus. It draws on legends of folkloric mischievous creatures that cause malfunctions—"gremlins"—in the British Royal Air Force going back to World War II and stars Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates, with Howie Mandel providing the voice of Gizmo, the main mogwai character. The story follows a young man who receives a strange creature as a pet, which then spawns other creatures who transform into small, destructive, aggressive monsters that all wreak havoc on a whole town on Christmas Eve.Gremlins 2: The New Batch is a 1990 American comedy horror film, and the sequel to the 1984 film Gremlins. It was directed by Joe Dante and written by Charles S. Haas, with creature designs by Rick Baker. Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates, Dick Miller, Jackie Joseph, and Keye Luke reprise their roles from the first film. New cast members include John Glover, Robert Prosky, Haviland Morris, Robert Picardo, and Christopher Lee; additionally, the film features Tony Randall providing the voice for one of the gremlins.

Devin & James are back in the Den with a doozy of a double feature! This time we're driving along the wrong side of the tracks with a couple of hard-nosed, highly-stylized neo-noir crime movies. THIEF (1981) and DRIVE (2011) feel like they share DNA (along with THE DRIVER (1978), which gets more than an honorable mention from us). With plots that seem deceptively simple on the surface, these films feature characters with a ton of rage brewing beneath what's visible up top. James Caan and Ryan Gosling are at their peak here, as are the rest of the brilliant ensemble casts, which features the likes of Robert Prosky, Tuesday Weld, Willie Nelson, James Belushi, Albert Brooks, Carey Mulligan, Bryan Cranston, Ron Perlman, Christina Hendricks, and Oscar Isaac! Under the expert direction of Michael Mann and Nicolas Winding Refn, respectively, these films are must-sees for everybody who loves cinema where the rubber meets the road. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

This week, we're paying tribute to James Caan, who passed away last month at age 82, with his starring role in Michael Mann's 1981 directorial debut. Co-starring Tuesday Weld, Willie Nelson and Robert Prosky, the film also features the big screen debuts of Dennis Farina, William Petersen and James Belushi. Mann brought in real-life professional thieves to consult on the film, which was co-produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and features a synth-heavy soundtrack by German electronica group Tangerine Dream. Playing a jewel thief and safecracker, James Caan often said that, next to The Godfather, this was the movie of which he was proudest. Now we're tracking down the fifth alarm and stealing a peek at Thief to kick off Aug-Heist 2022! For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

RIP to James Caan, one of the more legendary American actors to emerge from the stellar crop of the 1970's. ☹ He has delivered many a strong performance in many strong movies including The Godfather where he played Sonny Corleone. Over his impressive 50+ year acting career, his starring role as the eponymous thief in this crime drama is considered by many (himself included) to be his best overall performance. He plays Frank, a seasoned safe-cracker living in Chicago looking for that one “last big score” and he just have found it…..working with local crime boss Leo (the late great Robert Prosky) which might present more issues than just pulling off a difficult caper. All the while, Franks is also trying to build a relationship (and family) with Jesse (Tuesday Weld) while also trying to help his mentor Okla (Willie Nelson) who's still in prison – needless to say, Frank has a LOT going on and various complications ensue. This was also the feature film directorial debut of Michael Mann who would eventually go on to direct several CLASSIC dramas including The Last of the Mohicans, Collateral, and…..one of my personal favorites, Heat.

It's the hilarious, smash hit family comedy... about a bitter divorce! The late, great Robin Williams was at the top of his game in 1993, and "Mrs. Doubtfire" let the comic actor run amok even when not dressing up like an old lady. Seriously, his character here, Daniel Hillard, is pretty unhinged, and it kinda makes sense that he loses custody of his kids. He's lucky he's not in jail for poisoning Pierce Brosnan! (To be fair, who the hell do you think you are ordering a jambalaya without pepper?! It's a Cajun dish, Pierce, what the hell is the point?) Old Millennials hosts Tyler and Angela both watched "Mrs. Doubtfire" a bunch as kids, as they both came from Robin Williams-loving homes. So were they nervous about revisiting the film and finding a whole bunch of outdated and insensitive jokes? You bet! Luckily, the movie largely avoids any questions about gender and sexuality (with the exception of that creepy bus driver who keeps hitting on Mrs. Doubtfire), and keeps things simple: Daniel is lying to his kids and pretending to be an old woman because he loves being around them so much! Nothing wrong with that, right? Right?! Right?!!?!!? Let's make one thing clear: This movie is still pretty watchable, thanks to some genuinely terrific comedic riffing by Williams, as well as the surprisingly sensitive and believable depiction of divorce (thanks mostly to an excellent Sally Field performance). Heck even these three kids are likeable - Lisa Jakub, Matthew "Not the 'Whoa' Lawrence" Lawrence and adorable Mara Wilson in her screen debut. Even new beau Pierce Brosnan is a nice guy! We kinda bad he's a victim of a run-by fruiting! So get your frosting facial ingredients together, sing a song from "Funny Girl," and don't double-book yourself and you alter ego at the same time at the same place, dummy. Also try to figure out why local TV producer Robert Prosky decides to replace his soft-spoken kids show host with... another soft spoken kids show host!? Is Euphegenia Doubtfire really more interesting than that dinosaur guy?! Wait, Mrs. Doubtfire's first name is EUPHEGENIA?!

Tonight's episode we discuss Ralph's choice of the 1981 Thief. Starring James Caan, Tuesday Weld and in their film debuts Jim Belushi and Robert Prosky. It was directed by Michael Mann and was one of his early films where you can see the beginning of the "Mann style". Is it a heist film, a character study or a revenge thriller? Watch and find out what the gang thinks.
A long time ago in a North America that now seems very far far away, Richie Cunningham became a director and filmed a couple of Irish corkers as they take a trip across the pond to take a shot at finding land and a new life while accidentally stepping in some love along the way. Well, the two corkers are Tom “I'm totally not a hostage of a huge cult” Cruise and Nicole “Thank God I got a divorce from Tom when I did” Kidman who are joined alongside Thomas Gibson, Robert Prosky, and Cyril Cusack to bring together Ron “stop calling me Richie Cunningham” Howard's, Far and Away. A film that brought home modest earnings and even more modest reviews but found a home in our hearts anyways. But, does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent debate fisticuffs technique and proper Irish accents as we try to decide if this one was a corker or a filthy leprechaun's taint.
In this week's episode, Craig and Geoff take a look at the theatrical debut of Michael Mann. Together they discuss the film's journey to screen, the links to Mann's future work that are already present, how it fares compared to other directors first films, the performances of the cast and so much more.

In this episode Mark talks about one of his favourite films and a family favourite film of many: "Mrs. Doubtfire" - which is a 1993 American comedy-drama film directed by Chris Columbus, based in the 1987 novel "Alias Madame Doubtfire" by Anne Fine. The film stars Robin Williams, Sally Field, Pierce Brosnan, Harvey Fierstein, and Robert Prosky, about a recently divorced actor, Daniel Hilliard (Robin Williams), who dresses up as a female housekeeper "Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire" to be able to interact with his children. The film has been a favourite of Mark's and of his family since he was young and in his opinion it is Robin Williams' best film and also testament to his extraordinary and unparalleled gift as an actor and as a wonderful human being - and his presence will always be sadly missed. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/markthepoet/message
In this episode of In Search of the Crystal Skull, Patricia and Arun discuss about the 1993 comedy Mrs. Doubtfire based on the book of the same name by Anne Fine starring Robin Williams, Sally Field, Pierce Brosnan, Harvey Fierstein, Robert Prosky, Matthew Lawrence, Lisa Jakub, and Mara Wilson. The story is about a failing voice actor named Daniel Hilliard who had lost his job and throws a birthday party for his son behind his wife Miranda's back. It ends up with them getting a divorce and Daniel only allowing to see his kids once a week. Wanting to see them more often, he asks his brother, a makeup artist, to help disguise him as a old British house nanny named Mrs. Doubtfire. Meanwhile, an old flame of Miranda named Stuart Dunmire returns to her life and tries to reconnect again. When the movie premiered, it became a massive success making over $441 million dollars out of a $25 million dollar budget receiving decent reviews from critics. Roger Ebert claimed that it was similar to Tootsie, but nowhere near as clever or as realistic. It currently has a 71% rating on Rotten Tomatoes despite a lot of people loving it. What do Arun and Patricia think of the movie? Does it hold up over 25 years later?

German soldiers have been stationed at the Keep, but an ancient evil has awoken killing more of them each night. The Nazis are forced to turn to a Jewish professor to help them solve the mysteries of the Keep before more soldiers fall to this unknown force. Just before Miami Vice Michael Mann wrote & directed the World War II horror film The Keep (1983) based on the novel by F. Paul Wilson. The Keep had an impressive cast with Scott Glenn, Alberta Watson, Jürgen Prochnow, Robert Prosky, Gabriel Byrne, and Ian McKellen. Despite an all-star cast and Michael Mann at the helm the film would fail due to a series of unfortunate events that would change Mann's original vision for the film. With such a strong premise Invasion of the Remake deems The Keep worthy of our patented re-imagining. Join us this week as we enter The Keep!

The Keep was cut so badly by Paramount that Michael Mann hasn't ever revisited the film even for a restored version. There is supposedly a 210 minute cut of the movie too. Everyone loses, especially Scott and Joey.
Popcorn Talk Network proudly presents a vodcast that offers a glimpse into the movies we love to watch with breakdown and analysis of the movies some might call… a "Guilty Movie Pleasure". Join us each week as Josh Macuga and Steve Simeone breakdown your favorite films, from the classics to the yet to be seen; it’s all here under one banner… GUILTY MOVIE PLEASURES! This week Josh and guest co-host Scott "Movie" Mantz discuss one of Scott's guilty movie pleasures: Gremlins 2 which is a 1990 American horror comedy film, and the sequel to Gremlins (1984). It was directed by Joe Dante and written by Charles S. Haas, with creature designs by Rick Baker. It stars Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates, John Glover, Robert Prosky, Haviland Morris, Dick Miller, Jackie Joseph, Robert Picardo and Christopher Lee; additionally, the film features Tony Randall and Frank Welker providing the voices for two gremlins. The story continues the adventures of the creature Gizmo (once again voiced by Howie Mandel), --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
There's something about your first love, and there's something about your first car. Stephen King found an interesting way to tap into that with his novel "Christine," and John Carpenter found an interesting way to develop it even further in his 1983 adaptation. Sure, the car may be possessed, but Arnie sure falls for his car... and she for him. It's an interesting take, and one we delve into this week. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we continue our Stephen King series with Carpenter's "Christine." We talk about our first experiences with this film and how that compared with our recent viewings of it and whether the film held up or not. We discuss the performances — Keith Gordon, John Stockwell, Alexandra Paul, Robert Prosky, Harry Dean Stanton and more — and how well they worked... or didn't. We chat about the car — the beautiful iterations of the Plymouth Fury that they blend together to create this possessed automobile -- and how she's one of the strongest pieces of the film, particularly the magical scene where Christine rebuilds herself. We touch on script problems, particularly the struggle we have with Christine's reasoning for her kills. And we talk about what John Carpenter brings to the table, and if it holds up with some of his other films made at this time. Andy ends up liking this film more than Pete, but we both have a great time talking it up. Check it out! Hey! You know what would be awesome? If you would drop us a positive rating on iTunes! If you like what we’re doing here on TNR, it really is the best way to make sure that this show appears when others search for it, plus, it’s just a nice thing to do. Thanks!!

Michael Mann has spent most of his film career exploring the world of crime and the criminals that inhabit it. Not to mention neon lighting. His feature film debut, Thief, certainly started him on the right track. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we continue our 1981 series with Mann's Thief. We talk about why this film works well for us as well as what elements don't work, really digging into Mann and his proclivity to give short shrift to his female characters. We chat about the truth brought to the film by bringing on real thieves to work as technical advisors, training James Caan to work with real equipment and actually really cracking safes on screen. We talk about the great James Caan as well as the rest of the cast — Tuesday Weld, James Belushi, Robert Prosky and more — and what they all bring to the movie. We chat about Tangerine Dream and their music, why Mann hired them, and what, if anything, works with their score. And we really dig into the character arc of Frank played by Caan, discussing how it works in context of the script, and why the actual ending of the screenplay changes his story in a way that works for us even if it doesn't feel very much like a 'Michael Mann' ending. It's a great film that we're happy to revisit. Tune in! Hey! You know what would be awesome? If you would drop us a positive rating on iTunes!

In this week's episode, the gang gets ready to break up some nostalgia with the insanely terrifying, family in peril thriller, Mrs. Doubtfire! Why does this movie need to tack on the anti-smoking message? How does Robin Williams not see that divorce a mile away? And why does he make Harvey Fierstein design all those other disguises if he knows he's going as Mrs. Doubtfire? Plus: We open Alcatraz back up for one very special execution. Mrs. Doubtfire stars Robin Williams, Sally Field, Pierce Brosnan, Harvey Fierstein, and Robert Prosky; directed by Chris Columbus.
