Ben is back in the audio sweatshop on a Saturday, because apparently relaxation is for other people. Wackadoodle Hollywood legend Robert De Niro triggers a trip down memory lane with some classic tales of unforgettable Dodgers legend Tommy Lasorda, including a legendary afternoon at the Smoke House where everything seemed perfectly normal until, naturally, it wasn’t. Ben also asks the important question nobody else has the courage—or interest—to ask: Where is Doug? Then it’s off to the future, unfortunately, as AI golf analyst guy makes his debut and immediately books everyone a first-class ticket on the Vomit Comet. Is the sports world really ready for Chatty McAlgorithm? Nobody asked for him, nobody needed him, but here he is. Pretty, pretty, pretty unnecessary.

Red Ruffing started work 600 feet underground in an Illinois coal mine at 13, lost four toes in a coupling accident at 15, and turned to pitching because he could no longer run. He went 39-96 for a Red Sox team that finished last in each of his five full seasons there, then was traded to the Yankees in 1930 for Cedric Durst and cash and became the ace Joe McCarthy trusted to start Game 1 of six World Series. Mark tells the story of Charles Herbert "Red" Ruffing: the 25-loss season in which he hit .314, four straight 20-win seasons from 1936 to 1939, six World Series championships, a hitting career that included 36 home runs and a .269 average, a no-hitter thrown while serving in the Army Air Corps, a comeback at age 40, a brief stint as pitching coach of the 1962 Mets, and a 1967 Hall of Fame election that required a runoff. Also in this episode: Jeff remembers Isao Harimoto, Japan's all-time hits leader with 3,085, who passed away at 86. The Cubs sign 24-year-old Kippei Mikawa, who pitched in just three games in four years at Rikkyo University and now throws 97 mph after a data-driven comeback. The Angels try to avoid the first 100-loss season in franchise history. A wave of new baseball media arrives: the Cubs' TikTok rom-com series "Nine Innings to Love," Mark Wahlberg as Pete Rose, and Robert De Niro in talks to play Tommy Lasorda in "Tommy and Me."

Sources told TMZ on Wednesday that the Los Angeles Mayor's Office and the California Attorney General's Office have been told that Paramount will be announcing that it is leaving the state. The announcement was reportedly supposed to come on Tuesday, with TMZ reporting, “We do not know if circumstances changed or if there was just a delay.” Robert Deniro loses it over Trump. #california #paramount #robertdeniro #trump
Melissa donated $5,000 to Ronald McDonald House Charities of St. Louis through Donny Fandango's Radiothon, chose to spend her 40th birthday hanging out with The Rizzuto Show, and was immediately rewarded with the prestigious broadcasting opportunity every aspiring radio personality dreams about:Reading an endorsement for a fake adult novelty store called The Iron Grip.Welcome to radio, Melissa.Today's funny podcast wastes absolutely no time making our birthday guest regret her generosity. Melissa joins the on-air family, gets drafted onto Rafe's team for Do It Bitch, and is handed what appears to be a legitimate live commercial for a brand-new sponsor in Edwardsville.Except The Iron Grip apparently specializes exclusively in adult products shaped like fists.Big ones. Small ones. Glow-in-the-dark ones.There's a “Heavyweight Champion,” a “Double-Ended Sparring Partner” and, naturally, the Southpaw Special Starter Kit.Melissa powers through the commercial like a professional while everybody else completely loses it, only for Rizz to announce some devastating breaking news immediately afterward:The client canceled.One read and they're gone.Advertising is a brutal business.From there, the show gets considerably more serious as Rafe and Rizz discuss Evil Dead legend Bruce Campbell and his candid comments about his cancer diagnosis.Campbell says doctors have given him a five-year prognosis, but his attitude toward it is about as Bruce Campbell as you'd expect. He plans to keep working, keep pursuing the projects he loves and deal with his health problems as they arrive instead of allowing the diagnosis to define whatever time comes next.The crew talks about his career, his incredible deadpan comedy, the evolution of Evil Dead from horror into campy horror-comedy and why Campbell deserves even more credit for turning Ash into such an iconic character.It's thoughtful.It's sincere.It's genuinely moving.So obviously we immediately follow it with Richard Gere and a gerbil.Welcome back.Rizz introduces what may be one of the greatest pieces of investigative journalism ever attempted: a reporter apparently spent SIX YEARS investigating the origins of the infamous Richard Gere gerbil urban legend.Six years.Not Watergate.Not organized crime.Gerbilgate.The rumor predates social media, Reddit and basically every modern mechanism capable of turning nonsense into accepted historical fact within eleven minutes. Yet somehow the story spread across America and became so famous that people who had never met one another were all hearing slightly different versions of the exact same ridiculous tale.According to the investigation discussed on the show, one major accelerant was a fraudulent press release supposedly from an animal-rights organization that was faxed to newsrooms and Hollywood agencies around Los Angeles.Remember fax machines?Apparently misinformation had to work much harder back then.The legend mutated as it traveled. Different versions involved different hospitals, different objects and increasingly elaborate details, while alleged secret X-rays and other “evidence” became part of the mythology.The crew starts wondering why everyone believed it.Was it because Richard Gere was handsome, famous and married to Cindy Crawford, so society collectively decided the universe needed to humble him?Rafe has a theory.If one man gets to spend years married to prime Cindy Crawford, maybe everybody else needs to believe that guy has at least ONE extremely bizarre flaw.Thus, the scales of justice demand a gerbil.Which leads to the important hypothetical question nobody had ever requested:Would you accept ten years with Cindy Crawford if everyone believed the Richard Gere rumor was about YOU?Rafe is in.Rizz is negotiating the terms.Moon doesn't care about rumors.Lern is apparently serving as legal counsel.This funny podcast has officially become a contract negotiation nobody should ever put in writing.The conversation then spirals beautifully into Richard Gere attempting to visit a hypothetical pet store, South Park's Lemmiwinks, Cindy Crawford's Illinois roots, Gere's feud with Sylvester Stallone during The Lords of Flatbush, and the glorious collection of celebrity urban legends that existed before anybody could simply Google whether they were complete garbage.Marilyn Manson's rib.Gene Simmons' tongue.Rod Stewart.Bon Jovi.Jamie Lee Curtis.And because every generation apparently deserves its own completely ridiculous celebrity rumor, Rizz nominates Machine Gun Kelly for future service.Congratulations, MGK.You weren't consulted.Then Lern brings us Crap on Celebrities, where things get slightly less gerbil-intensive but no less chaotic.The crew discusses the controversy surrounding Macklemore being removed from Ed Sheeran's tour after his pro-Palestinian comments, followed by multiple opening acts withdrawing in solidarity. Ed Sheeran says the decision wasn't his and that promoters and venue operators ultimately made the call after venues threatened not to host dates.Rafe checks the imaginary breaking-news wire and reports that Ed Sheeran has now quit his own tour.He walked out on himself.Solidarity has reached its final form.There's also speculation about Justin Bieber and Harry Styles as potential future Super Bowl halftime performers, although neither had actually been approached according to the story being discussed.Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have reportedly installed automated security warnings around their massive Ohio property, giving Rizz yet another piece of technology he desperately wants at his own house.Get too close?BACK UP.Honestly, Rizz might install one inside the studio.Kelly Osbourne opens up about one of her final conversations with Ozzy and the estrangement between Kelly and her older sister Aimee, leading the crew to remember how remarkable it was that one member of the Osbourne family managed to stay largely outside the reality-TV circus while practically everyone around her became massively famous.Moon declares that decision extremely metal.Correct.Robert De Niro is reportedly in talks to play legendary Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda in a biopic, which immediately creates a new Hollywood controversy nobody saw coming:Why is Robert De Niro stealing jobs from fat guys?Finally, justice.Lern also discovers several pieces of music history that everyone apparently deleted from their brains, including Paul Rodgers performing with Queen and Ozzy Osbourne scoring a Top 10 hit decades after “Close My Eyes Forever” thanks to his collaboration with Post Malone and Travis Scott on “Take What You Want.”Moon's conclusion?None of this happened.Lern is inserting facts from an alternate reality.And frankly, after spending this much time discussing Richard Gere, we're no longer qualified to determine what is real.Then it's finally time to celebrate Melissa turning 40.She shares her birthday with Amy Poehler, Nick Jonas, Alexis Bledel, Marc Anthony, Jennifer Tilly, Richard Marx, David Copperfield and several others.But Melissa isn't finished earning her $5,000 donation.After already surviving The Iron Grip commercial, the birthday girl is handed one more prestigious broadcasting assignment:Reading the Porno Birthday.She handles that one like a champion, too.Melissa came to The Rizzuto Show for her 40th birthday and got fake commercials, celebrity gossip, gerbil journalism and an extremely questionable birthday-reading assignment.And she STILL has to play Do It Bitch with the crew.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, the dads review Giant, the Prince Naseem Hamed biopic starring Amir El-Masry as Naz and Pierce Brosnan as legendary Sheffield trainer Brendan Ingle. It is a boxing film, a mentor-protégé story, a study of fame and arrogance, and a surprisingly knotty argument about whether loyalty, recognition and money can ever stay clean once a child prodigy becomes a multi-million-pound champion.The episode opens with Reegs still absent in French France, which means no clever intro but plenty of warnings about swears and spoilers. Dan has watched classic film noir Laura and revisited Universal Soldier for the Midweeker, Cris has been watching Pierce Brosnan in western series The Son alongside some nostalgic X-Men '97, and Sidey has been back into Barry while also sampling a Netflix serial-killer thriller involving De Niro and missing boys. There is also football, DIY, paint guns, teal walls and the sort of domestic detail that proves cinema podcasting is mostly glamour.For Top 5 Giants, the dads go suitably massive. Dan starts with The Iron Giant and the animated BFG, while Cris brings in Romanian basketball player Gheorghe Mureșan via Billy Crystal's My Giant, then stretches the theme through the MonsterVerse, The Odyssey, Leprechaun 4: In Space and Rush Hour 3. Sidey nominates Fezzik from The Princess Bride, They Might Be Giants, The The's “Giant”, Game of Thrones' actual giants and finally the Giant from Twin Peaks, giving him another chance to declare David Lynch's nightmare television more or less untouchable. The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, Riding Giants and several real-life giants also get thrown into the oversized mix.The main review focuses on Giant as a story about two men rather than one. Prince Naseem is obviously the famous fighter, but the film arguably belongs just as much to Brendan Ingle, whose Sheffield gym gives young lads discipline, community and a way to redirect anger. The dads talk through the early scenes: Brendan spotting young Naz's footwork, taking him into the gym, making new boys sing before they fight, teaching movement before punching, and helping him deal with racist abuse in an environment where National Front attitudes are never far from the surface.As Naz rises, the film follows the familiar sports-biopic path of talent, training, showmanship and success, but the more interesting material comes from the relationship slowly cracking. Brendan nurtures Naz's cockiness because it fuels the fighter, but that same confidence becomes harder to control once promoters, sponsorships, family influence and huge money arrive. Frank Warren sees the commercial value of Naz's brash persona, the family starts questioning Brendan's cut, and the childhood handshake deal over 25% becomes the moral fault line of the film.Sidey and Dan both find that argument more complicated than the film first appears to suggest. Brendan clearly changes Naz's life, puts the money back into the gym, builds champions and cares deeply about the boy he trained from childhood. At the same time, agreeing a huge percentage with a 12-year-old is uncomfortable, however much both of them believed in the dream. The imagined reconciliation scene near the end gives the film its strongest emotional beat, because it lets Naz say he was a child and Brendan say he gave everything. The sting is that, in real life, they never properly reconciled.The performances get the strongest praise. Pierce Brosnan is very good as Brendan Ingle, and the various actors playing Naseem — especially Amir El-Masry as the adult Naz — capture the movement, swagger and showboating well. The fight scenes are convincing, the Sheffield material gives the story texture, and the film does enough with a modest-feeling British production to stay watchable throughout.The verdict is positive but measured. Sidey thinks it is pretty paint-by-numbers and admits he was never a huge fan of Naseem's arrogance, though he respects the story and really likes the performances. Dan enjoys the sports-movie structure and the tragic mentor-student angle, but does not think the film quite lands a knockout blow. Cris had not seen it in time for recording, but the discussion leaves the film sounding like one he would still watch. Overall, the dads call it a moderate to strong recommend: interesting, well acted and easy to watch, if not quite a heavyweight classic.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Dolly Parton: Garth Brooks' daughter made Dolly's death all about her. CNN had to apologize after eulogizing Dolly with an incorrect photo. Dolly's charting like crazy. She once did a duet with Pee Wee Herman. Barbara Walters hated Dolly. Howard 101 is now Andy Cohen 101 on SiriusXM. Stern apparently has an HBO deal.

Drew's stream is excellent thanks to Flomax. Markleverse: Meghan and Harry are booed in the UK. Montecito is glad to see the couple out of their town. The poor UK has to deal with her now and they're not happy about it. Fergie has weaseled her way back in the country under the cover of Harry and Meghan. Ian Wace funded the royal losers trip back to the UK because they don't pay for anything. We're hoping the citizens of the UK rise up against them. We learn that they give nauseating hugs.

August concludes with a slew of reviews from Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy. Once again they urge you all to go see the movie that Warner Bros. tried to destroy forever (Coyote vs. Acme) and remind you about a couple they saw from Sundance this year (Idiots, Buddy). They also have the tale of a boy trying to find out what those bruises are on his mom (If I Tell You). Rebel Wilson's directorial debut whose behind-the-scenes may be more interesting (The Deb). Three doctors stationed in Gaza want to get the truth out about the conflict with Israel (American Doctor). The Train to Busan director gives us more goopy fast zombies (Colony). Robert DeNiro tries to find his kidnapped grandson (The Whisper Man) and a group of college graduates find themselves in an existential crisis on a very long road (It Ends). The latest from Joe Swanberg has Dakota Fanning choosing between two men and herself and a young guy tries to find the woman who got away (Finding Emily). Finally, Ridley Scott takes us into the apocalypse for some reason (The Dog Stars). 3:44 - Coyote vs. Acme 22:58 - Idiots 30:44 – Buddy 35:35 - Ad Break 37:35 - If I Tell You 44:21 - The Deb 53:16 - American Doctor 1:07:51 – Ad Break 1:09:51 - Colony 1:21:55 - The Whisper Man 1:34:54 - It Ends 1:45:00 – Ad Break 1:47:00 - The Sun Never Sets 2:00:21 - Finding Emily 2:19:12 - The Dog Stars 2:38:50 – Preview of Next Week CLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST OR BUY FROM MOVIEZYNG Be sure to check out Erik's Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten Tomatoes Critics' Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, IL Chicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streaming Physical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.

Aug-Heist comes to a close with this 1995 Michael Mann film starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, sharing screen time for the first time in their careers. Mann already made this movie once, in 1989 as a made-for-TV movie called L.A. Takedown. In this iteration, De Niro plays the leader of a sophisticated band of thieves while Pacino plays the hardboiled detective obsessed with taking them down. The film features an all-star ensemble including Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore, Ashley Judd, Amy Brenneman, Diane Venora, Wes Studi, Dennis Haysbert, Jon Voight, and a young Natalie Portman. Critics praised the film, yet it opened behind family-friendly fare like Jumanji and Toy Story. Retrospective reviews have named it one of the most influential crime films of all time, inspiring works as diverse as The Dark Knight and Grand Theft Auto, there is a sequel/prequel, Heat 2, is due out next year. Now Aug-Heist calls in our last score for this year with Heat! For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

In honor of its recent 50h Anniversary, here is our newly remastered (with additional content) review of one of The Most Influential Films of the 1970's.....What can be said about one of THE most iconic movies of the past 50 years which hasn't been said already? Well you probably know that it was directed by Martin Scorsese, one of our greatest living American filmmakers. And you probably also know it stars the legendary Robert DeNiro in one of his most iconic roles playing Travis Bickle, the titular taxi driver. You might also know that it was also written by the renowned writer/director Paul Shrader who would go on to craft other iconic films including American Gigolo and Affliction, along with several other collaborations with Scorsese. You probably already have an idea that it tells the story of an Vietnam veteran, disgruntled cab driver who eventually finds himself on a mission to "clean up the streets" of mid '70's New York City in his own unique way of course. Whatever you might know regardless, it's never a bad time to revisit this classic film which has inspired millions of imitators since its release......all pretending to be tough staring in a mirrow, uttering, "You talkin' to me??"Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
Alright, chat, We're back with a Robert De Niro impression that doesn't have legs, a hostile takeover of Schrab Home Video, and a heartfelt discussion about whether saying "chat" out loud in real life is a bit or a cry for help. Spencer breaks down why this podcast is basically a turtle? Surviving 249 episodes purely by refusing to move, grow, or improve, because maybe, just maybe, the Spleen bit has plateaued.Then it's soda review corner, where we crack open an Italian blood orange beverage and a Canada Dry strawberry ginger ale, and we workshop a full unified theory of why "refreshers" are taking over gas stations. From there we spiral into an extremely legally-vetted, extremely non-political metaphor involving an uncle, a barbecue, a stroke, six million dollars of prime rib, missing missiles, and Crazy Jeff doing butterfly knife tricks near the children... pure coincidence if any of it sounds familiar. We also get into some real talk about masking, meatspace vs. podcast-space personalities, psychic drawings, being wrongly (or rightly??) diagnosed as bipolar via email, and why internet micro-celebrities are the new tabloid targets now that actual celebrities are too rich to care. Grab a refresher and settle in. Nothing happens, but it happens with maybe a good episode. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Then the real business: finding Christina a new man. The candidates include an asexual lawyer running for California Secretary of State, inmates filming prison dating videos, and the brand-new horny hotline, where suitors like Terry, the cat guy, depressed Justin from Pennsylvania, and front-runner John the Poet make their case.

Late Fame tells a story of an artist who is finally "found" later in his life. Throughout the film, the lead character, Ed Saxberger (played by Willem Dafoe), must navigate the modern art world. The same group of artists yearns for the times that Saxberger comes from and the artists who existed in the circles in New York City at that time. In Late Fame, we see director Kent Jones navigate modern New York and its inhabitants. We were lucky enough to chat with Kent Jones about the film. Listen to our interview here. Kent Jones explains why Dafoe was essentially the only viable choice to play a poet-lead since Dafoe genuinely performs poetry and previously played Pasolini. He ties the thought together by tying it back to a Robert De Niro line about Brando having "the poetry of his whole being." The conversation moves into the film's love-letter-to-New-York quality, with the director talking about decades of watching the city change, the presence of the past haunting the characters (especially in Soho, tied to Dafoe's own history with the Wooster Group), and how gentrification and the "attention economy" have reshaped what it even means to try to make art in New York now.
Original Air Date: March 30th, 2026 In this fresh clip, the man who's been wrong for three decades is at it again, solemnly declaring that some climate damage is already “not reversible” while warning it's “probably inevitable that we're going to see Greenland go and the west Antarctic ice sheet go.” He tells us the world's shallow coral reef systems are “very much in danger,” so if you want to see them, you'd better “get scuba certified immediately” — right before casually throwing in that New Orleans might need saving too. Gore admits the most dangerous impacts are “still avoidable and preventable” if we just “stop using the sky as an open sewer for this civilization-destroying pollution”… because apparently the same scientists whose 20-year-old doomsday predictions he now calls “dead right” have suddenly nailed it this time. No new data, no evidence, just the same recycled panic, the same furrowed brow, and the same urgent plea to trust him — again. Same Gore, same script, different decade. The ice sheets, the reefs, and the sky are all doomed… unless you buy what he's selling. Classic.

We're heading to Little Italy's San Gennaro festival this week with Griffy Parm, David Bags, and the great Miriam Bale as we chat about 1973's Mean Streets - a major breakthrough for both Martin Scorsese and Robert DeNiro. Join us as we chat about the seismic impact this film had on American cinema, DeNiro's screen persona, those iconic needledrops, and the ways racism and misogyny permeate the film's atmosphere.

Opie swore he was chill today. Lasted about three seconds. Ron shows up sunburned like a peeled tomato after trusting Joe Rogan's zinc oxide sunscreen (spoiler: he looked like a powdered-wig Founding Father and still got roasted). Tony drops the “feminine shoulders” bomb and suddenly we're mid-shoulder-off. Meatball hygiene debates, De Niro face-offs, a pot dealer who ghosted, e-bikes turning NYC sidewalks into Mad Max, and the uncomfortable truth that Opie's dog has… strong opinions about delivery guys. Also: North West tickets got canceled, cats are garbage, and nobody can finish a sentence without Ron interrupting. The same unfiltered chaos that made the old Opie and Anthony days legendary — classic early FU Friday energy. Hit play before they start matching denim again.Thanks for donating to the podcast https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/JANCGHFW7GJHA helps us keep going. Have a great day!
This week the guys get into the Tucker Carlson x Sam Altman interview, whether convincing yourself you slept great actually works, and how many He-Man movies came out recently. They talk Supergirl and Superman, and why Sydney Sweeney was the obvious choice for Supergirl. Erik recaps a travel nightmare where his bags got shipped to two different states, plus the time Chris flew home with a Harry Potter broom. They debate whether headliners should let openers sell merch, react to the Odyssey salary list, argue about Matt Damon and De Niro, and swap audition stories, including losing a part to Jon Bernthal and the Workaholics tape that changed everything.00:00 The Ben Kingsley Callback01:09 Tucker Carlson x Sam Altman & AI03:51 Groggy Mornings & the Placebo Mindset07:06 Wait, There Are Two He-Man Movies?14:41 Supergirl, Superman & What's Wrong with DC21:54 Travel Nightmares: Lost Bags & a Harry Potter Broom30:18 Should Openers Sell Merch?36:42 Toy Movies: Matchbox, Hot Wheels & My Buddy41:54 The Odyssey & Who Gets Paid in Hollywood49:14 Audition Stories: Bernthal, Workaholics & Strong Choices59:42 Tour DatesGet two extra episodes every month at https://Patreon.com/TheGoldenHourPodcastTo submit to the show email: thegoldenhoursubs@gmail.com or Dropbox Link: https://www.dropbox.com/request/fqtbexhxyaky9X8f8MV1In the subject line, specify whether your submission is King It or Sting It, Debate Club, Rip My Drip, Relationship Advice, or Flaunt My Aunt.
