“This is a Spike TV movie, right?” - Eric On this week's episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza gets down and dirty for the all-or-nothing days as we chat about Robert Rodriguez's still totally wild comic translation, Sin City! Thankfully, folks, this movie still looks totally rad! How eerie is Elijah Wood as Kevin? Even with as fun a ride as this is, did we really need to adapt every bit of the Miller sleaze vibes? Will Rodriguez ever get his edge back? How great is Mickey Rourke in this movie? Was having three different musicians do three different scores a good idea? Should the Hartigan story have been cut in two or should the film have been left as the triptych with the Hartnett character as the bookend? PLUS: Kurt Russell and the arctic crew from The Thing all check to see who's The Thing by doing the asparagus pee test! Sin City stars Bruce Willis, Clive Owen, Mickey Rourke, Josh Hartnett, Rosario Dawson, Benicio Del Toro, Michael Clarke Duncan, Carla Gugino, Rutger Hauer, Jaime King, Tommy Flanagan, Nick Offerman, Marley Shelton, Nick Stahl, Elijah Wood, Devon Aoki, Alexis Bledel, Powers Boothe, and the late, great Michael Madsen as Bob; directed by Robert Rodriguez. [EDITOR'S NOTE: We recorded this episode on June 18, several weeks before we lost Michael Madsen. The guy was a total legend, a singular performer who gave us so many memorable film appearances that we've loved and quoted a ton over the years. We'll miss the guy, gone way, way too soon. — Andrew] Our three-night, six-show residency at the Oxford Comedy Festival starts THIS FRIDAY, July 18th! We'll be there through the 20th doing WHM, WLM, Animation Damnation, Gleep Glossary and Nexus shows! The Quantum of Solace and Hellraiser shows are sold out, so don't wait, snag your tix now, UK!

What people might picture when they think of "Made in America" ... might not look like the "Made in America" we have today.The U.S. does have a domestic manufacturing industry, including a garment manufacturing industry. In today's episode: We buy a garment made by factory workers in the U.S. – a basic purple sports bra – and learn how many people it took to make it, how much workers got paid to work on it ... and whether garment manufacturing is a job Americans want, or even know how, to do. Plus: why domestic garment manufacturing exists at all in the U.S., and whether the industry can grow.Other episodes: - What "Made in China" actually meansThis episode was reported and hosted by Sarah Gonzalez.

Slack-jawed action fans, welcome to Men of Action Podcast—the ultimate monthly throwdown! This episode pits two Robert Rodriguez sequels in a brutal showdown: 2013's explosive Machete Kills against 2014's gritty Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. We dive deep into whether these films deserve their sequel status, breaking down the high-octane action, star-studded casts, and Rodriguez's signature style. From Danny Trejo's machete mayhem to Jessica Alba's noir revenge, we decide which reigns supreme—or if both flop.

The meanest-looking man on screen, the star of Robert Rodriguez's Machete and its sequels, is perhaps better known Trejo's Cantina and other food emporiums have revealed the truth: despite his violent background he has reinvented himself as a good guy and plays that role extremely well, onscreen and off. (He also headlines a new streaming movie, Seven Cemeteries.) Leonard and Jessie enjoyed meeting him (via Zoom) and hearing the story of how he accidentally broke into movies and wound up working with some of the biggest names in the business.

Guns in a Guitar Case! This week we're taking a trip south of the border with Robert Rodriguez's debut film, EL MARIACHI! Made with $7k and a dream, it's a pinnacle in low budget filmmaking; real townspeople extras, homemade stunts and effects, and pure indie movie magic. It's fast, it's gritty, it's worth its weight in coconuts.   Instagram: @bmoviebeatFacebook: The B Movie BeatdownEmail: thebmoviebeatdown@gmail.com Letterboxd: @Absolute_trash @SlenderJames

Johnny is having a nostalgia month, taking Andrew through his Robert Rodriguez trilogy that feature Antonio Banderas, Cheech Marin and Danny Trejo, just decidedly less blood and guns than the El Mariachi trifecta. Andrew talks From The World Of John Wick Ballerina, Rachel Zegler on stage in Evita and Sondheim's final work Here We Are at the National, high art and low blows, plus plenty of Cumming.

Alexis Garcia Alexis Garcia, born and raised in Miami, Florida, is an accomplished film producer, studio executive, and entrepreneur, widely recognized for his role in launching and scaling high-impact film ventures across the independent and studio landscape. He is the founder of CAT5, a turnkey production and financing company focused on high-concept, independently made action films, and co-founder of Brass Knuckle Films alongside acclaimed director Robert Rodriguez. Most recently, Garcia served as Head of Film at Fifth Season (formerly Endeavor Content), where he led the production and financing of over 40 films over 5 years. His portfolio includes major releases such as Ambulance (dir. Michael Bay), 80 for Brady (Paramount), The Peanut Butter Falcon (SXSW Audience Award), Monkey Man (dir. Dev Patel), The Long Game (SXSW Grand Jury Winner), Brawl in Cell Block 99 (starring Vince Vaughn), and The Lost Daughter (3 Academy Award nominations). In 2025, three of Garcia's movies reached audiences in a major way - A Working Man (Amazon/MGM, starring Jason Statham) opened #1 at the U.S. box office, Nonnas (Netflix) opened #1 on Netflix and became one of the platform's top titles of the year, and Friendship (SXSW premiere, starring Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd) opened as the year's top grossing limited theatrical release and was heralded as the return of the R rated cinematic comedy. Earlier, as a partner and agent at WME, Garcia helped package and sell hundreds of critically acclaimed and commercially successful films, including Drive (Nicolas Winding Refn, starring Ryan Gosling), The Nice Guys (Shane Black, starring Gosling and Russell Crowe), and The Favourite (Yorgos Lanthimos). He also spearheaded strategic initiatives such as the creation of foreign sales company Bloom, and led Endeavor's expansion into China, brokering talent ventures (Sylvester Stallone, David Goyer, Russo Brothers) and co-production deals with major studios like Perfect World, Tencent, and Village Roadshow. Garcia began his career as an entertainment attorney before joining Endeavor in 2007, rising to become a partner and later helping spin out the agency's content arm into what became Endeavor Content. He played a pivotal role in the division's growth from a sales and service operation into a vertically integrated production studio, culminating in its acquisition by CJ ENM. A graduate of Vanderbilt University with a JD from UCLA School of Law, Garcia continues to drive innovation in film production by bridging traditional Hollywood models with cutting-edge audience engagement and alternative financing strategies. He and his family (Tracy, Noa, Ozi and Busta) are proud Coconut Grove residents, having moved from Los Angeles in August of 2021.

After falling in love with the gelato shops of Buenos Aires, Josh Hochschuler came home to Dallas with a bold idea: bring authentic Argentine gelato to the U.S. He raised $600,000 from friends and family and opened a gelato shop called Talenti. The product was a hit - but the retail model wasn't. Faced with mounting losses, Josh shut down the store and moved into a warehouse to pivot to wholesale. With time, tenacity, and a now-iconic clear jar, Talenti became a national sensation, and in 2014, was acquired by Unilever. Today, it's the best-selling gelato brand in America.This episode was produced by Casey Herman and edited by Kevin Leahy, with research by Kerry Thompson and music by Ramtin Arablouei.

This week, the Three Guys ain't just talkin' movies—they're takin' you hostage on a one-way ride through From Dusk Till Dawn. Strap in as they break down the blood-soaked brilliance of Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's grindhouse lovechild, where crime meets creatures and the Gecko Brothers raise hell… until hell raises back. Join the crew as they dissect this genre-jumping fever dream—from slick bank robberies and tequila-fueled pit stops to Salma Hayek's snake-charming seduction and that first jaw-dropping vampire reveal. We're digging into everything: character arcs, head-exploding practical effects, and that dirty dive bar of a soundtrack that slaps harder than a vampire in sunlight. So pour a drink, keep your stakes sharp, and remember what Seth Gecko always says: “OK, ramblers. Let's get rambling.”

Over the past decade, politicians from both parties have courted American voters with an enticing economic prospect – the dream of bringing manufacturing and manufacturing jobs back to America. They've pushed for that dream with tariffs and tax breaks and subsidies. But what happens when one multinational company actually responds to those incentives, and tries to set up shop in Small Town, USA?Today on the show – how a battery factory ignited a political firestorm over what kind of factories we actually want in our backyard.

Today on the show – our crypto president. Just before President Donald Trump began his second administration in January, he and his business partners launched the $TRUMP coin. It's a memecoin that quickly raked in hundreds of millions of dollars. And there's a lot of earning potential still left on the table. Is that even legal?We bring you two stories from our daily show, The Indicator about President Trump and his ties to crypto. First, the Trump coin. We explain what it is, how the real Donald Trump profits from it, and yes, whether this whole crypto scheme is within the law. Then we take a look at Stablecoins: how they work, how they make money, and for whom.The original episodes from The Indicator were produced by Cooper Katz McKim and Corey Bridges. They were engineered by Harry Paul and Robert Rodriguez. They were fact-checked by Sierra Juarez. Kate Concannon edits the show.

Over the last few months U.S.-China trade relations have been pretty hard to make sense of – unless you look at what's happening through the lens of game theory. Game theory is all about how decisions are made, based not just on one side's options and payoffs, but on the choices and incentives of others.So, are Donald Trump and Xi Jinping competing in a simple game of chicken? Or is the game more like the prisoner's dilemma? On today's show, we try to decide which of four possibilities might be the best model for this incredibly high-stakes game. And we take a look at who is playing well and who might need to adjust their strategy.For more on the U.S.-China trade war: - The 145% tariff already did its damage - What happened to U.S. farmers during the last trade war - What "Made in China" actually meansThis show was hosted by Keith Romer and Amanda Aronczyk.

It's time for a little soul vacation. Brendan takes the mic solo to share go big on powerful insights about fear, action, and how to transcend your brain's default setting of same old, same old. Inspired by filmmaker Robert Rodriguez's appearance on Tim Ferris' podcast and backed by wisdom from last week's guest, Brendan explores:

Just two days after their 2025 MMRBQ performance, Mammoth came back to Philadelphia to perform in the very intimate club setting of the Foundry in a Pierre Presents session. Along with playing a set for some very lucky WMMR listeners, Wolfgang Van Halen sat down for a conversation with Pierre Robert in between songs, recorded in front of a live audience full of fans. The pair discussed Mammoth's latest single "The End," including the wicked music video directed by one of Wolf's favorite directors, Robert Rodriguez. They also talked about the legendary 5150 and how Wolf incorporates vintage Van Halen gear into this new music. When Pierre brought up Mammoth's very first single, "Distance," and moving through grief with music, you'll hear the impactful moment that brought the room to a standstill; anyone who's lost a loved one will be able to relate. Wolf is always honest about how the loss of his father, Eddie Van Halen, has affected him, but he's also hopeful and the future is bright for the band. He's preparing for the Black Sabbath/Ozzy Osbourne tribute in Birmingham, touring with Creed this summer, and putting out more new music.

As a young entrepreneur in the Wild West days of the internet, Alex Tew was drawn to meditation for its simple calming power. Together with fellow tech founder Michael Acton Smith–known for hits like Moshi Monsters–the two brainstormed ways to bring the ancient practice of meditation into the 21st century. In 2011, they bought the domain calm.com, built an app, and started producing meditations and Sleep Stories, narrated by celebrities like Matthew McConaughey and Idris Elba. Despite initial pushback from investors who insisted no one would want to meditate on their phone–let alone pay for it– the Calm app grew to a valuation of nearly $2 billion, with 180 million total downloads. This episode was researched and produced by Katherine Sypher with music composed by Ramtin Arablouei. It was edited by Neva Grant.

EPISODE #453-- We get back into the QT-verse with the Robert Rodriguez-directed gorefest FROM DUSK TILL DAWN (1996). It's not very good and we talk about why. You should probably go see SINNERS (2025) instead or even TALES FROM THE CRYPT: DEMON KNIGHT (1995). Not VAMPIRES (1998), though. TIME STAMPS: 10:00: We talk about the difference betwen THE THREE CABALLEROS and THE THREE AMIGOS. 41:00: Does Narcotics Anonymous accept draculas? 43:15: DEMON KNIGHT (1995) mentioned. 46:00: FROM DUSK TILL DAWN 3 (1999) mentioned. 48:00: VAMPIRE$ (1998) mentioned. 52:00: We talk about ANDOR (2025) and ROUGE ONE (2016) again. Again. 53:30: Shout out to THE CREATOR (2023). 54:00: We get mad about STAR WARS (1977 - ) 56:00: Obligatory TINKER TAILOR SOLIDER SPY (2011) discussion. Then we pitch our Post-Endor ANDOR-like series. 58:30: STAR WARS: SKELETON CREW (2024) mentioned. 1:04:55: James talks about THE ACCOUNTANT 2 (2025). It's dumb, but good!

It's weird how many songs the Beatles have that aren't "hits" but are still universally loved. It seems everyone knows and loves "I've Just Seen A Face," despite never being a single and never appearing on the big compilations. Maybe it's just one that's found a way to sink its' teeth into anyone who's ever known the rush of new love. Maybe it's just one of those classic Paul melodies. Maybe it's the kind of country, kind of rock, kind of acoustic line it seems to walk so well. Maybe it's all of those. Either way, it's an absolute gem.Joining us this week is Jack Petruzelli, producer, songwriter, musician, and founding member of The Fab Faux, in addition to his work with folks like Rufus Wainwright, Joan Osborne, and more. He joins us to talk about what makes the Fab Faux work (they're probably the best Beatles tribute around, no wigs or costumes needed, just A-list players). We take a trip across previous rankings to question my sanity, while also discussing the upcoming Magical Mystery Camp (June 24-27),  an all-inclusive, once-in-a-lifetime music vacation experience in the heart of the Catskills, exploring the music of The Beatles via performances, workshops, songwriting clinics and more!

Western wear is having a moment – and so is the upstart Western brand Tecovas. Founder Paul Hedrick is a Texan who realized that cowboy boots were either too expensive or too cheap, so he decided to create a premium brand with an attainable price. He traveled repeatedly to the cowboy boot capital of the world – León, Mexico – to obsess over every detail, and later he expanded his DTC business to make a surprising bet on brick-and-mortar stores. Today, beyond boots, Tecovas sells jeans, shirts, dresses, hats, and bags, and this year, the company expects to do more than $300 million in sales.This episode was produced by Alex Cheng with music composed by Ramtin Arablouei.

¿Quién es este Mariachi? This week is a three-fer! We're covering Robert Rodriguez's famed trilogy - from the hilarious gags of “El Mariachi” to the vocal prowess of Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek in “Desperado” to Johnny Depp's turn as composer for his character's theme in “Once Upon a Time in Mexico” - we're discussing all the fictional music from these films.

The U.S. exports billions of dollars worth of agricultural products each year — things like soybeans, corn and pork. And over the last month, these exports have been caught up in a trade war. U.S. farmers have been collateral damage in a trade war before. In 2018, President Trump put tariffs on a bunch of Chinese products including flatscreen TVs, medical devices and batteries. But China matched those tariffs with their own retaliatory tariffs. They put tariffs on a lot of U.S. agricultural products they'd been buying, like soybeans, sorghum, and livestock. That choice looked strategic. Hitting these products with tariffs hurt Trump's voter base and might help China in a negotiation. And in some cases, China could find affordable alternative options from other countries.Today on the show: what happened in 2018, how the government prevented some U.S. farms from going bankrupt, and what was lost even after the trade war ended.This episode was produced by Sylvie Douglis and edited by Jess Jiang.

Please note: Like how Death Proof uses fake film grain to make it seem like it's an older movie, only to stop doing it halfway through, Laci and Matt's audio improves halfway through this episode. You might not even notice the audio isn't great in the first half... but if you do, just know it gets better eventually.   Friend of the Show Cinema Chris joins Laci and Matt to talk about Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof (2007). Originally a 90-minute movie presented as part of a double feature alongside Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror, Death Proof now stands on its own (in an expanded edition) as one of the more fascinating entries in Tarantino's filmography. We discuss the beautiful animal that is Kurt Russell, Rose McGowan's captivating pronunciation of “chocolate milk,” and how much joy there is to be had in a car going vroom-vroom real fast.    Follow Chris on TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com/@cinemavault), Instagram (https://bit.ly/3GKiYc9), and Letterboxd (https://bit.ly/4m5AGqr).    Next week: Final Destination (2000)   Subscribe to our Patreon, Load Bearing Beams: Collector's Edition for $5 a month to get two extra episodes! patreon.com/loadbearingbeams    Time stamps: 00:02:40 — Our personal histories with Death Proof 00:13:00 — History segment: The history of grindhouse; the history of Grindhouse  00:31:21 — In-depth movie discussion 01:30:00 — Final thoughts and star ratings   Sources: “House Party: Girls!

Today on the show we have Slamdance Grand Jury winning filmmaker Hasan Oswald. Hasan's story is pretty inspiring. He did exactly what I preach all the time, he picked up a camera and began to tell his story. He made his first short film that was later tweeted by Stephen Fry, and the National Geographic came calling to work on their film Hell on Earth: The Fall of Syria and the Rise of ISIS. He has since covered the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, drug trafficking, and homelessness in Philadelphia. He quickly established a unique ability to capture the human experience through "cinema verité."  His unfettered access to and intimacy with his characters creates a seamless veneer between the filmmaker and subject.After getting much need experience in the field he decided it was time to tell larger stories. His first outing as a feature film director, Higher Love, won him the top award at the Slamdance Film Festival. To finance his film he pulled a page out of Robert Rodriguez's playbook and sold his blood plasma to finance his film.Hasan's filmmaking journey is inspiring to say the least. He is using cinema to tell stories that will hopefully change the way people think. Higher Love is available on all major VOD platforms. His current project focuses on the Yazidi Genocide in Iraq.Enjoy my conversation with Hasan Oswald.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

I HIGHLY recommend listening to the Robert Rodriguez episode. Without a doubt the best episode in the last 12 months. I should have given it the 5 Jamie's it deserved, but I guess the lack of sleep is getting to me!  We started this thing 6 years ago, just three fucking idiots. Now it's three fucking idiots, a dog, and a baby. Welcome to the team, Charlie! Also, I have been posting the show at 5am EST since we started. I will be pushing the release back a few hours moving forward. You'll still get the new episodes on Tuesdays. It just may be an afternoon drop. My apologies. Enjoy!

Robert Rodriguez is a director, producer, and screenwriter known for films including "Desperado," "From Dusk Till Dawn," and "Machete."

This week we review Ryan Coogler's Sinners. Is this movie cursed, or is Horror Movie Talk cursed? Stay tuned to find out. Synopsis Sinners stars Michael B Jordan and Michael C Jordan as twin brothers Smoke and Stack returning from Chicago with ill gotten gains to their hometown in rural prohibition era Mississippi. They immediately work on establishing their own juke joint to entertain and profit off the locals. They go around town recruiting old friends and relatives to help and successfully have a grand opening. When the music pierces the time and space as it is prone to do, it captures the attention of nearby evil… things. Wacky hijinx ensue. Review of Sinners Ryan Coogler writes and directs his first horror film coming off of his success with blockbusters like Black Panther and Creed. Here he obviously draws inspiration from Robert Rodriguez's From Dusk Till Dawn, where it feels like one genre and then suddenly shifts into a horror film. However, we are given fair warning from the opening scene that shit is about to go down. There is a lot going on in this film. It explores a lot of ideas about good and evil, guilt, exploitation, racism, the transcendence of music, and pro tips on how to eat pussy. Not all of these themes are fully explored or necessarily land, but I have to respect the ambition and swing for the fences attitude of Coogler with this film. The film does have a great cast, with fully fleshed out characters and relationships. It spend a lot of time with the setup so that when the killing starts to happen there are real stakes (no pun intended). It feels like a Stephen King novel in the best way. A large element of the film is the music, with several musical sequences featuring blues, folk music, and weird afro-blues-rock-hiphop-pop fusion. The musical director on the film is swedish composer Ludwig Göransson, which is probably the most promising new film composer in recent years having scored The Mandelorian, Oppenheimer, Black Panther, and more. In my opinion, he is out of place here, and a lot of the musical score seems out of place and distracting. For a film about delta blues and juke joints, they seem almost embarrassed to include a lot of it. Overall, the film was very good. It held my attention, features a setting and characters that are interesting, and delivers some great monster moments. Score 9/10

Over the decades, David Cronenberg has carved a distinctive and provocative filmography out of his interest in human decay and death, up to and including his new THE SHROUDS, a late-career entry in the writer-director's body-horror canon. It's a film that left some of us confounded in a way that our returning guest, critic Charles Bramesco, might argue is part of its Cronenbergian appeal; but placing it next to THE FLY in Connections clarifies how much it's simply an evolution of the same pet themes Cronenberg has been circling since 1986 (and earlier), from overlapping obsessions with the mutability of bodies and technology, to the horror and guilt of watching a loved one deteriorate before our very eyes. And in Your Next Picture Show, we're inspired to talk over another recent, highly personal project from an elder-statesman auteur that received a mixed reception, and which we never got to cover on the show: Francis Ford Coppola's MEGALOPOLIS. Please share your thoughts about THE FLY, THE SHROUDS, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.
