Podcast appearances and mentions of Robert Zemeckis

Today Alyshia sits down with Pierson Fodé: an actor who you likely have seen all over your Netflix homepage this year. Pierson breaks down the brutal soap-opera contract that became the "best acting bootcamp" he ever had, memorizing up to 120 pages a day, and how he later reinvented himself as an actor to shake casting directors' "soapy" perceptions. We also get into why he loves self tapes including the unconventional farm-boy slate that impressed James Gunn during his Superman audition. He shares his audition approach and belief that hard work is your luck in this industry. Pierson now stars in Netflix's upcoming holiday rom-com A Merry Little Ex-Mas and recently led Netflix's #1 film worldwide The Wrong Paris. Up next, he joins Jennifer Lopez in Robert Zemeckis' highly anticipated thriller The Last Mrs. Parrish. These are the unforgettable stories that landed Pierson Fodé right here.

Back to the Future is a classic. A must-see for anyone that grew up in the Gen X era. The story of how Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale managed to the get movie made is incredible. Starring Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Crispin Glover, and Thomas F. Wilson. Back to the Future: the movie that shouldn't have been made!

Mit der "Zurück in die Zukunft"-Trilogie hat sich Robert Zemeckis in die Herzen aller Film-Fans inszeniert. Doch zählen auch alle drei Filme zu den zehn besten Regie-Arbeiten seiner Karriere? Das müssen in dieser Ausgabe Michael und Rüdiger bei ihrem Ranking-Wettbewerb entscheiden. Keine leichte Aufgabe, denn Zemeckis hat weit mehr als nur die drei Zeitreise-Filme in petto. Mit "Falsches Spiel mit Roger Rabbit" und Motion-Capture-Filmen wie "Der Polarexpress" hat Zemeckis die technischen Möglichkeiten des Kinos expandiert. Mit "Forrest Gump" und "Cast Away" hat er Tom Hanks ebenso zu Oscar-Nominierungen geführt wie später Denzel Washington in "Flight". Und in seinem Regiedebüt "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" hat der 73-Jährige eine Gruppe Teenager auf eine ähnlich wilde Reise geschickt wie Kathleen Turner, Michael Douglas und Danny DeVito in "Auf der Jagd nach dem Grünen Diamanten". Welche seiner 22 Filme schaffen in unserer List den Cut?

What a treat! This month's Bonus Episode: What Lies Beneath is available for all! No subscription required :)PLEASE if you have not watched the movie, do that first and then listen to this episode!My friend, Priscilla, stops in for a deep dive into why this psychological thriller still stings: Michelle Pfeiffer's nerve and nuance, Harrison Ford's brilliant portrayal, and Robert Zemeckis's love letter to Hitchcock that uses mirrors, windows, and water to make the ordinary feel unsafe.We unpack the film's design from the ground up, including a Nantucket-style lake house built to glow in daylight and brood at dusk, multiple bathroom sets engineered for those impossible angles, and CGI used with restraint: steam that writes, reflections that betray, a ghost that returns for one exquisite moment of justice. The camera starts at eye level and sinks lower as dread rises, and Alan Silvestri's score threads anxiety through every door creak and bathtub ripple. It's meticulous craft serving a clean, propulsive plot: seance to possession, repressed memory to reveal, paralytic serum to bathtub suffocation, bridge crash to lakebed truth.At the heart is a theme that still resonates-- how a woman's intuition gets minimized when her evidence looks like superstition. Claire's haunted house becomes a map of gaslighting—neighbors who might be violent, a husband who “cares,” a past smudged by trauma. Step by step, the film tests what we believe and why, until the lake gives up what the living tried to hide. Whether you think the marketing blunted the twist or simply reframed the suspense, the story's spine holds: nothing stays buried forever.If you loved the breakdown, check out our Bonus Episodes (available on Patreon or Apple Podcasts) for more smart deep dives! Connect with us and suggest a great memoir!Follow us on instagram! @babesinbooklandpod

Life is like a box of chocolates — and this episode has a little bit of everything. Nathan is joined by longtime friend Abel Cass to revisit Forrest Gump, the 1994 Best Picture winner that defined a decade and divided movie fans ever since.Together they look back at what made Robert Zemeckis' sweeping Americana epic so unforgettable, from Tom Hanks' iconic performance to its groundbreaking special effects, timeless soundtrack and endlessly quotable lines. The two also reflect on how the film hits differently as adults and parents, why it resonated so deeply in the ‘90s and how its portrayal of love, history and innocence still sparks debate today.Plus, a nostalgic 90s Pop Quiz, memories of small-town movie theaters and a few laughs about homemade Forrest Gump reenactments.Run, Forrest, Run… back to 1994 with us.Read Nathan's thoughts on Forrest Gump.Support the podcast: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/moviesarelife

Hwæt a Movie is back! This time we dive deep into the uncanny valley epic Beowulf from 2007. Released at the height of Robert Zemeckis's motion-capture mania, this version of our favorite Old English classic promised to bring the poem to life like never before. It was slated to be an event like no other, at least for John and Andy. In this star-studded and CG-saturated film, Ray Winstone voices a Beowulf who looks suspiciously like an action figure and swaggers like he just killed nine nicors. He's accompanied by the ageless Wiglaf, played by Brendan Gleeson. The great Anthony Hopkins plays a jovial but somewhat mad King Hrothgar, Robin Wright plays the deeply troubled Queen Wealhtheow, and John Malkovich does his best John Malkovich as Unferth. But if we're honest, this is the Grendel family's movie from start to finish. Crispin Glover turns in a unforgettable performance as a Grendel who swells with anger and shrinks with vulnerability. Grendel's mother is a gold-dipped, shape-shifting femme fatale with stiletto feet. She's also very much Angelina Jolie. And then there's Grendel's little half-brother dragon. That's right, the dragon is part of the family! Is this adaptation a clever deconstruction of heroism and myth-making? Or just an excuse to get Beowulf naked on an animated dragon? Zemeckis, Gaiman, and Avary take some bold liberties with the source material in this one, and we're here to guide you through it all from the perspective of two curmudgeonly middle-aged medievalists. As always, this episode of Hwæt a Movie includes a thorough summary and discussion of the film, a brief Q&A, and our final ratings: how well the film handles Beowulf, Grendel, and Grendel's mother, plus our ever-important scores for faithfulness to the source and overall entertainment value. Beowulf (2007) was a wild ride to discuss, and we hope you enjoy it half as much as Beowulf enjoys shouting his own name. Or at least as much as Zemeckis likes cleverly blocking Beowulf's bare bits from view with conveniently placed objects. Once you've listened, let us know your thoughts. Is this the definitive Beowulf for the 21st century? Or just a fever dream in a damp cave? And do you forgive us for being grumpy when it comes to Beowulf movies?

He opens up about the whirlwind of becoming Marty McFly at 23, the joy of rediscovering the movie as a fan, and the impact of the Michael J. Fox Foundation, which has raised more than $2.5 billion for Parkinson's research.

It's our fourth episode of the increasingly-inaccurately-titled Patreon Request "Month" 2025, and in the longest official episode of this podcast to date, the randomizer is going all the way back to 1988 to pick ArthurCrane's request for, quite simply, one of the greatest cinematic triumphs of all time, a tour-de-force of animation, live action and pre-CGI special effects wizardry, wrapped up in a still-relevant metaphorical fable about civil rights and gentrification set in an impossible fantasy world that combines a gritty film noir aesthetic with off-the-wall cartoon zaniness. Directed by future Oscar-winning blockbuster visionary Robert Zemeckis at the peak of his powers, with animation directed by often-underappreciated genius Richard Williams, and representing a Disney studio with new management eager to swing for the fences and conquer the world, this masterpiece was truly a once-in-a-lifetime perfect melding of artistry, ambition and anarchy. And granted, the whole project was blown out of the water just a few years later by the even greater achievement that was Ralph Bakshi's Cool World, but this movie was still pretty darn swell too.

For our final Hollywood Week episode, we welcome iconic character actor and comedian Eddie Deezen for a career retrospective exploring his journey from performing stand-up at The Comedy Store to becoming Hollywood's go-to "nerd" character in beloved films. Eddie shares his origin story growing up in Cumberland, Maryland, moving to Los Angeles after graduating high school in 1975, and his breakout role as Eugene Felsnic in the 1977 blockbuster Grease. That led to high-profile comedy films including Robert Zemeckis' I Wanna Hold Your Hand, Steven Spielberg's 1941, Midnight Madness, WarGames, and Grease 2. We explore his transition to independent films including cult favorites like Surf II, and his successful pivot to voice acting in the mid-80s, landing iconic roles as Mandark in Dexter's Laboratory and the Know-It-All in The Polar Express. You can keep up with all things Deezen by following Eddie on Facebook.Support the show___________________Check out video versions of this and other episodes on YouTube: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits!If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or wherever you found this episode.

Hello everyone! Anders Holmes is here with another solo episode where he reviews the Hitchcockian horror film What Lies Beneath, directed by Robert Zemeckis.As it is spooky season (October aka Scary Movie Month) and Halloween is on the way, Anders Holmes will be talking about some of his favourite horror films in these solo Anders Reviews episodes. Horrors film that are some of his favourites, films that have made a big impression on him and films that people should check out. Whether they be fans of the genre or not.On this episode, Anders talks about one of his favourite horror films from the 2000s, a memorable film he watched as a child. He re-discovered it again in his thirties. What Lies Beneath was released in the year 2000. It stars Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer and, like previously mentioned, it was directed by Robert Zemeckis. The screenplay is credited to Sarah Kernochan and Clark Gregg (Agent Phil Coulson). Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford star as Norman and Claire Spencer (not Foster as Anders accidentally states in the episode), two madly in love people in a seemingly perfect and happy marriage. Claire is a stay at home, who was once was part of a popular musical quartet, while Norman is a university professor working a lot on a project and neglects his wife. Prior to the events of the film, Claire was in a car accident the year before and still is troubled by it. After her daughter Caitlin moves off to college, she becomes suspicious of what is going on with their neighbours, The Feurs, when she notices Mrs Feur crying in their garden and then she isn't seen again. It's not long before Claire suspects the husband of wrong doing and begins to experience paranormal occurrences in her home. She feels that she is being haunted by a ghost that wishes to contact her. What Lies Beneath is a good old fashioned haunted house story that channels and honours Alfred Hitchcock. It blends Rear Window and also George Cukor's film Gaslight. Robert Zemeckis, who is no stranger to the horror genre, made this film during hiatus from filming Castaway with Tom Hanks who needed to lose weight for that project. The film was made for 100 million dollars and made 291 million dollars worldwide, despite mixed reviews. Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford give tremendous performances, with most of the critical praise hailing Michelle Pfeiffer as the MVP. Harrison Ford is cast against type and that particular bit of casting works to the film's advantage. It's best to go into this film blind and not watch any trailers or TV spots, as they do spoil aspects of the plot and ruin a few twists and red herrings. The movie is available to watch on DVD and it's also able to be viewed on streaming services: Disney Plus and The Criterion Channel (but only for October).

Gianluigi Ricuperati"Ritorno al futuro. Prototipi di tempo"MAUTO Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile, TorinoIn occasione del quarantennale del primo film della saga Ritorno al Futuro di Robert Zemeckis, il MAUTO – Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile presenta la mostra RITORNO AL FUTURO. PROTOTIPI DI TEMPO che esplora la relazione profonda tra due degli oggetti di design di massa più iconici – gli orologi e le automobili – mettendone in luce le risonanze emotive, meccaniche e simboliche. Attraverso questa lente, la mostra indaga la percezione contemporanea del tempo — sempre più accelerata e frammentata dall'era digitale — celebrando al contempo il quarantesimo anniversario di Ritorno al Futuro, il film in cui un'automobile si trasforma letteralmente in una macchina del tempo. Protagonista dell'esposizione l'iconica DeLoreanDMC-12 del 1981 disegnata da Giorgietto Giugiaro, corredata da figurini e lucidi – provenienti dall'Archivio Italdesign – selezionati per raccontare il processo creativo dietro alla vettura che ha segnato la storia di cinema e del design. Oltre alla automobile e ai suoi disegni, la mostra omaggia il capolavoro pop con una serie di oggetti originali dalla lavorazione del film. In questo contesto, costituisce un'installazione a sé la presenza di dodici opere della serie Suspended di Anri Sala, uno dei più grandi artisti contemporanei: dodici – come le lancette di un quadrante – disegni digitali che mettono in relazione tempo e spazio, cronografia e geografia. Lavori di straordinaria bellezza, capaci di offrire una potente riflessione sulla sospensione e fluidità del tempo, ma anche sulla relazione tra eidos e cronos, tra tempo e spazio, tra il visibile e l'impalpabile passaggio delle ore e dei minuti, la sola cosa che – pur non dando prova certa di esistenza, aldilà della misura matematica – lascia tracce indelebili sulle nostre vite.Gianluigi Ricuperati è nato a Torino il 13 agosto 1977. Dopo saggi usciti per Bollati Boringhieri e Laterza, esordisce nel romanzo con Il mio impero è nell'aria (minimum fax 2011) a cui seguono La produzione di meraviglia (Mondadori 2013), edito in Francia da Gallimard, e La scomparsa di me (Feltrinelli 2017).

In which the Mister and Monsters join me in reviewing ROMANCING THE STONE (1984), from director Robert Zemeckis and screenplay by Diane Thomas.  The film is a romantic adventure comedy about Joan Wilder (Kathleen Turner), a timid but successful romance novelist who is forced to leave her quiet life in New York to travel to the Colombian jungle to rescue her kidnapped sister. Her only clue is a cryptic treasure map, and she soon teams up with Jack T. Colton (Michael Douglas), a rugged, cynical American mercenary and bird smuggler, who agrees to guide her for a price. As they navigate the dangerous terrain, dodging ruthless smugglers and a corrupt military official all pursuing the map's priceless emerald, Joan transforms into a real-life adventurer and finds unexpected romance with the man who proves to be her own fictional hero.  The film clocks in at 1 h and 46 m, is rated PG and we originally caught it on TCM but you can buy/rent it on Prime Video.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.#RomancingTheStone #RobertZemeckis #DianeThomas #KathleenTuner #JoanWilder #MichaelDouglas #JackColton #DannyDeVito #Ralph #ZackNorman #Ira #AlfonsoArau #Juan #ManuelOjeda #Zolo #HollandTaylor #Gloria #MaryEllenTrainor #Elaine #Action #Adventure #Romance #cComedy #Quest #RomanticComedy #JungleAdventure  @TurnerClassicMovies    #FridayFamilyFilmNightOpening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library

What if I told you there was a movie written by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale — the duo who would go on to create Back to the Future… directed by Steven Spielberg, fresh off the massive success of Jaws and Close Encounters… starring comedy legends John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, and John Candy… and scored by the music genius behind Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jaws, E.T., Jurassic Park — himself, John Williams? You'd expect a guaranteed blockbuster. Instead, what audiences got in 1979 was 1941 — Spielberg's first spectacular misfire.

Forrest Gump est une comédie américaine signée Robert Zemeckis, sortie en 1994. Ce film à la dramaturgie bonhomme, à la philosophie heureuse, parfois naïve, se taille une place de roi dans la culture populaire. Car Forrest Gump est un héros populaire. Touchant, aimant, droit, il est lʹhomme qui invente le smiley, le déhanché dʹElvis Presley, qui dénonce le scandale du Watergate et qui inspire sa chanson Imagine à John Lennon. Et tout cela sans en avoir conscience. Car Forrest Gump est un simple dʹesprit, un homme au QI en dessous de la moyenne qui se retrouve impliqué dans 30 ans dʹhistoire américaine. Forrest, incarné par Tom Hanks, est un héros malgré lui qui devient sportif de haut niveau, héros de guerre, entrepreneur à succès, gourou, influenceur, inventeur et découvreur. Entre les années 50 et les années 80, il est embraqué dans tous les soubresauts de lʹhistoire américaine, et invité par trois fois à serrer la pogne de trois présidents. Mais lui, son seul objectif, cʹest lʹamour de sa belle, Jenny, dont il aura un fils. En adaptant le roman du même nom de Winston Groom, sorti en 1986, Robert Zemeckis tourne ce qui deviendra un classique de lʹhistoire du cinéma et fera de Forrest Gump un personnage que tout le monde connaît et reconnaît citant allègrement quelques phrases et autres philosophies tirées du film. Robert Zemeckis, après les Retour vers le futur, A la poursuite du Diamant Vert et Qui veut la peau de Roger Rabbit, reprend son équipe et sʹembarque dans une aventure sur plusieurs décennies cinématographiques, profitant des avancées des trucages numériques pour parvenir à raconter son histoire. Le film reçoit une pluie de récompense, des Oscars en 1995, dont ceux de meilleur film, de meilleur réalisateur et de meilleur acteur pour Tom Hanks. Il ne nous reste plus quʹà nous asseoir sur un banc à Savannah, aux côtés dʹun homme au regard candide et de partager avec lui le contenu dʹune boîte de chocolat tandis quʹil nous raconte sa vie.

In episode 498 I discuss how the filming of the movie Back to the Future started during a Mercury retrograde period, and the production experienced notorious delays, including firing the lead actor after 6 weeks of filming. By examining the challenges and ultimate success of the film, we can gain a deeper understanding of what Mercury retrograde truly means in astrology. The story begins with the filmmakers, Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis, who, after years of developing the script, had their hearts set on Michael J. Fox for the lead role of Marty McFly. When Fox was unavailable, they moved forward with another actor, Eric Stoltz. Filming commenced in late November 1984, precisely as Mercury was slowing down to station retrograde. Mercury retrogrades are often associated with delays, revisions, and the need to redo things. The initial weeks of filming with Stoltz proved to be a prime example of these themes, as his more serious interpretation of the role clashed with the comedic vision of the filmmakers. This led to the difficult and highly unusual decision to recast the lead role in the middle of production. The story of Back to the Future's creation, with its delays and necessary do-overs, serves as a powerful real-world example of Mercury retrograde in action, teaching us that sometimes we must go back to the past to correct our course in order to create a better future. Join me as I break down the astrological timeline of these events and discuss the broader lessons we can learn about navigating our own Mercury retrograde periods.

The problem? There was a comedy to make, and Segal was struggling to get a connection with his leading man, the late Leslie Nielsen. 2000's Cast Away meanwhile would be a movie that contributed to health problems Tom Hanks has put up with since. It made a volleyball famous, and notably, it's a film that took so long to make, that director Robert Zemeckis shot and released another movie entirely in the midst of Cast Away's production schedule.

The film tells the story of Marty McFly, a 17-year-old high school student, played by Michael J Fox, who is accidentally sent 30 years into the past in a time-travelling DeLorean car invented by his friend, Doc Brown. The screenplay for the genre-bending story was rejected 40 times, but it became a Hollywood blockbuster, dominating contemporary culture and bringing its leading actor worldwide fame.
