This week in the Labyrinth, we're taking aim at Happy Gilmore 2—and not just to see if we still "got it." We're talking Easter Eggs, hilarious cameos, and what Netflix got right (and wrong) in their sequel to the cult favorite. Then it's back to South Park, which somehow manages to roast everyone, from liberals to Lucifer himself. We also say goodbye to three cultural icons:

The multi-talented Eric Roberts has amassed over seven hundred acting credits thanks to a career than spans close to five decades. Eric joins me to chat about his memoir Runaway Train: or, The Story of My Life So Far, which highlights his long-lasting career, as well as his very public battle with substance abuse. Eric tells me why he considered Oscar-winner Robin Williams an “older brother,” who he wants to share the screen with again, and that apology-heard-around-the-world and whether he's heard a response yet.

From growing up in Staten Island with no viable connections to the film industry… to teaching himself how to write scripts armed with only a copy of Syd Field's book SCREENPLAY… to briefly attending NYU film school where he made a friend with a means to securing some financing… to making his first independent film RED which lead to a student Academy Award… to how his script for JACK (co-written with Gary Nadeau) lead to an industry bidding war… to working with cinematic icon Francis Ford Coppola and the brilliant Robin Williams on the project… to writing films like THE NEGOTIATOR, the remake of ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 and SKINWALKERS before getting the opportunity to direct his screenplay for LITTLE NEW YORK… to creating the worldwide blockbuster franchise THE PURGE and why he and his producing partner Sébastien K. Lemercier have continued to shaped the franchise through five (soon to be SIX) films… to how visiting family members in elder care facilities lead to the idea for THE HOME… to the casting of SNL alum Pete Davidson and the great John Glover in leading roles of the film… to what it was like shooting a film with a cast of elderly people during the tail end of COVID…to learning that every writer needs a “Mad Hungarian” and tons of other anecdotes he's learned throughout his career… this honest conversation about the path of becoming a filmmaker is one that every artist can benefit from.

For our final episode in this summer's Drive-In series, we review the film, "Hook," a cinematic endeavor released in 1991, which features the esteemed talents of Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman. We engage in a critical discourse regarding the film's unjust placement on the list of poorly rated movies, as evidenced by its subpar score on Rotten Tomatoes. Our examination delves into the narrative elements, character arcs, and thematic undercurrents that contribute to the film's enduring appeal, particularly in relation to the themes of nostalgia, familial bonds, and the importance of childlike wonder. As we explore our personal connections to the film, we articulate our perspectives on its merits and shortcomings, striving to ascertain whether its critical reception aligns with our own sentiments. Ultimately, we invite listeners to reflect on their interpretations of "Hook," as we navigate the complexities of nostalgia and cinematic critique in our discussion.The dialogue centers around the cinematic exploration of 'Hook,' a film that presents a reimagined narrative of Peter Pan, now portrayed as an adult grappling with the responsibilities of life. The hosts express their disbelief at the film's low Rotten Tomatoes rating, which they categorize as a profound injustice against a film that resonates deeply with themes of nostalgia and the complexities of adulthood. Their discussion unveils the intricate layers of the plot, which follows Peter's journey from a work-obsessed lawyer back to the world of Neverland, where he confronts the infamous Captain Hook, a character brought to life by the talented Dustin Hoffman.Throughout the podcast, the hosts engage in a reflective analysis of the film's thematic elements, particularly the dichotomy between childhood innocence and adult responsibilities. They underscore the importance of imagination and the loss of one's youthful spirit, positing that these concepts are pivotal to the film's narrative. The hosts also critique certain aspects of the film, such as its pacing and length, suggesting that a more concise structure could enhance its overall impact, yet they remain steadfast in their admiration for its emotional depth.In wrapping up their discourse, the hosts invite listeners to reassess 'Hook' not merely through the lens of critical reviews but as a profound exploration of the human experience. They emphasize the film's ability to evoke powerful emotions and provoke thought, ultimately urging audiences to embrace its messages about family, adventure, and the enduring power of imagination.Takeaways: The film 'Hook' explores the theme of rediscovering one's childhood and the importance of imagination, as Peter Pan learns to reconnect with his inner child. Critics have often dismissed 'Hook' as a failure, yet the film resonates deeply with audiences who appreciate its nostalgic value and emotional depth. The portrayal of Captain Hook in 'Hook' adds complexity to the character, showcasing his desire for revenge and reclamation of honor, rather than presenting him as a one-dimensional villain. Despite its low Rotten Tomatoes score, 'Hook' features strong performances, particularly by Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman, contributing to its enduring appeal and cultural significance. .We discuss all this and more in this one!

Sermon Title - Dead Poet's Society Scripture - Hebrews 12:1-2   On the first day of class at a stuffy New England prep school, English teacher John Keating (played by Robin Williams) shocks his students with unorthodox methods and ideas. The most radical of which might be the simple phrase “Carpe Diem.” He shows them that by listening to the voices of the past, we can gain true appreciation for the lives we are living now and be encouraged to follow our dreams and seize the day.

We are back with tales of the strange in Ill-Advised News with Tabasco chugging fighters and a fireman using his hose for all the wrong reasons.

We have a teen with a bomb threat and a yeti blood oath in the 2nd Ill-Advised News, a beer bottle that is 100% going to end up in someone’s bum, and we pay tribute to birthday boy Robin Williams with a round of “What The Flick”.

Robin Williams' manic mind moved at such a breakneck speed that cocaine had the opposite effect than it had on most other people: it slowed him down. Robin's primary addiction, however, wasn't cocaine. He was addicted to the dopamine rush of being on a stage, where he could let his mind run wild with free association, and be rewarded with uproarious laughter. He was addicted to proving himself as a dramatic actor, even if that meant attempting to trigger his own mental breakdown by running in place for hours. And when he died tragically at the age of 63, the cause of his death was surprisingly not what anyone suspected. It still isn't. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including suicide.

Christian Ashley and TJ Blackwell engage in a thorough examination of the film "Flubber," a cinematic endeavor featuring Robin Williams, which currently holds a rating of 24% on Rotten Tomatoes. They explore the peculiarities surrounding the film's reception, particularly considering its whimsical narrative and the comedic talents of its leading actor. Throughout their discussion, they reflect on the film's thematic elements, including the protagonist's struggles with personal relationships and the innovative yet nonsensical science that drives the plot. Both hosts acknowledge the film's shortcomings, particularly in terms of special effects and pacing, yet they also emphasize its inherent charm and entertainment value. Ultimately, they invite listeners to reconsider the classification of "Flubber" as a "rotten film," highlighting the importance of finding merit even in works deemed flawed.The discourse navigates the complexities surrounding the film 'Flubber,' a remake of the classic 'Absent-Minded Professor.' It is imperative to recognize that while the film has garnered a critique from audiences and critics, with scores languishing around 24% and 33% respectively, there exists a divergence between critical reception and viewer enjoyment. Our conversation unfolds as we reminisce about the film's premise, where Robin Williams portrays a brilliant but forgetful scientist, Brainerd, whose creation of Flubber—a pliable, buoyant substance—serves as both a comedic device and a narrative catalyst. The film's exploration of themes such as innovation versus incompetence, personal relationships, and the ramifications of scientific exploration provides an intriguing backdrop to our discussion. Moreover, we examine the film's nostalgic charm and its capacity to engage younger audiences, despite its apparent shortcomings in special effects and pacing. Ultimately, the conversation reveals that while 'Flubber' may not ascend to the pantheon of cinematic masterpieces, it offers a light-hearted viewing experience that remains enjoyable for a family audience.Takeaways: The film 'Flubber' serves as an example of a light-hearted comedy that, despite its flaws and a low Rotten Tomatoes score, provides entertainment value through the performance of Robin Williams. In discussing 'Flubber', we acknowledge the film's failure to meet certain expectations, particularly in terms of its special effects and pacing, which may contribute to its negative reception. The narrative of 'Flubber' primarily revolves around the character of Professor Brainard and his personal conflicts, rather than focusing exclusively on the titular substance itself, which may have confused audiences. We explore the film's attempts at humor and charm, noting that while it may not be considered a classic, it still holds a nostalgic appeal for those who enjoyed it during their childhood. The episode draws attention to the juxtaposition of the film's whimsical elements with deeper themes of love and commitment, as demonstrated through the character's repeated absences at his wedding.

Is it a rite of passage or a special torture you should say “no” to? They bring up crowd work, Bill Hicks, Robin Williams, and the importance of The Act before you try improvisation on stage. Also, Larry's new nickname, Dan's accomplishment, and some other silliness that these two get sidetracked on. Don't forget, as a season finale push, the first ten people who leave five stars with an actual review will get a silly sketch from Larry. Art of Bombing:"Nobody Had a Podcast Called The Art of Bombing" Theme by John Hult https://johnhult.bandcamp.com/album/half-a-life-to-recoverWebsite: https://www.artofbombingpod.com/ Links: https://linktr.ee/artofbombingpodBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-art-of-bombing-a-guide-to-stand-up-comedy--5788059/support.Hosts:Dan Bublitz Jr: http://www.danbublitz.com/ Larry Smith: https://larrysmithcomedy.com/

Tonight's Triple Feature is a director spotlight on Barry Levinson, a filmmaker whose career is as quietly influential as it is stylistically fluid. We're looking at three of his most potent and thematically rich films: Good Morning, Vietnam (1987), Sleepers (1996), and Wag the Dog (1997). While these movies differ wildly in tone—ranging from manic comedy to grim drama to razor-sharp political satire—they're united by something deeper: a fascination with storytelling as both a tool of survival and a weapon of manipulation.To understand how these films fit together—and what they say about Levinson himself—we need to start with the man behind the camera.Who Is Barry Levinson?Barry Levinson emerged from the 1980s auteur boom with a distinctly humanistic voice. A Baltimore native, Levinson first made his mark as a screenwriter, penning ...And Justice for All (1979) and Diner (1982), the latter of which marked his directorial debut. He quickly carved out a niche making intelligent, character-driven dramas with sharp dialogue and a blend of humor and melancholy.You might call him an American moralist—but a flexible one. His best films don't preach; they interrogate. Levinson doesn't arrive at the story with a hammer and message—he arrives with a question. What is the cost of truth? What happens when institutions fail? What stories do we tell to protect ourselves… or to control others?This puts him in a rare category: a commercial filmmaker who consistently tackles uncomfortable ideas, often smuggled into crowd-pleasing packages.The Aesthetic: Naturalism Meets Narrative ControlVisually, Levinson isn't flashy. He doesn't announce himself with whip-pans or long takes. Instead, his aesthetic is clean, restrained, and deceptively simple—he clears space for character and performance. He's a director who understands the power of a well-cast actor and a lived-in setting.But beneath the grounded surface, Levinson is obsessed with the structure and function of narrative. His films constantly interrogate who gets to tell the story, why they're telling it, and what the consequences are. That meta-awareness—about media, perception, and memory—is central to tonight's triple feature.Good Morning, Vietnam (1987): Humor as SubversionGood Morning, Vietnam is perhaps Levinson's most accessible film, largely thanks to Robin Williams' explosive, genre-defying performance as real-life military radio DJ Adrian Cronauer. On the surface, it's a war comedy—a zany, rapid-fire laugh-fest set against the backdrop of Vietnam. But dig deeper, and it's a biting exploration of truth, censorship, and the psychological cost of telling jokes in a world on fire.Levinson lets Williams run wild, yes—but he also carefully frames Cronauer as a man whose humor is both a coping mechanism and a form of protest. The military brass wants control over the narrative. Cronauer wants to tell the truth, or at least laugh at the lie. And that tension—between comedy and tragedy, propaganda and rebellion—makes the film more than just a showcase for improv. It becomes a study of how humor can be a form of defiance in the face of institutional rot.This is Levinson at his most charming, but also his most subversive. He knows a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down—and he laces the sugar with acid.Sleepers (1996): Trauma, Brotherhood, and Justice Outside the SystemNearly a decade later, Levinson delivered Sleepers, a completely different animal. Based on Lorenzo Carcaterra's controversial novel (whose “based on a true story” claim remains disputed), Sleepers is a dark, operatic tale of childhood abuse and adult revenge. The humor of Vietnam is gone. In its place: Catholic guilt, corrupted institutions, and the brutal costs of unresolved trauma.If Good Morning, Vietnam was about resisting propaganda, Sleepers is about rewriting it. The second half of the film becomes an elaborate lie—a staged trial, manufactured witnesses, rigged outcomes—all orchestrated not to deceive the audience, but to achieve justice the legal system refuses to provide.Levinson doesn't ask us to condone this. He asks us to understand it. What happens when the people we trust—priests, guards, judges—become the abusers? And what happens when no one will hold them accountable?This is Levinson's angriest film, and his most emotionally direct. It's also deeply personal. Set in Hell's Kitchen in the 1960s, it's saturated with nostalgia—until that nostalgia curdles. It's the American coming-of-age story turned into a horror film.And once again, we're dealing with a narrator—Jason Patric's character—telling us the story long after the fact. But can we trust him? Should we?Levinson doesn't answer. He just holds the camera steady.Wag the Dog (1997): Manufacturing Reality in Real TimeIf Sleepers is a courtroom drama told through shadows and memory, Wag the Dog is a satire of the same mechanisms—but weaponized in real time. Released just weeks before the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal broke, this film is practically prophetic.A spin doctor (Robert De Niro) and a Hollywood producer (Dustin Hoffman) fabricate a fake war to distract from a presidential sex scandal. It's absurd. It's hilarious. And it feels… inevitable.This is Levinson in full meta mode, stripping the illusion of politics down to its skeleton. But while the premise is cynical, the filmmaking is precise and controlled. The performances are pitch-perfect. The script, by David Mamet and Hilary Henkin, is lean and lethal. And the message is terrifying:If the story is good enough, the facts don't matter.Wag the Dog completes the arc that began with Vietnam. In that film, the media truth-teller is punished. In Wag the Dog, the media manipulator is rewarded. Humor, once a weapon of rebellion, has become a tool of control. The satirical bite here is so sharp it draws blood.What These Films Say About LevinsonTaken together, these three films show a director fascinated by the moral weight of storytelling. Levinson keeps returning to the same idea: that narrative is power. Whether it's used to comfort soldiers, avenge childhood trauma, or distract a nation, stories shape the way we see the world—and they're always being weaponized by someone.He's not flashy. He's not dogmatic. But Barry Levinson understands something fundamental: that the line between truth and fiction is thin, fragile, and often chosen for us by people we'll never meet.And that's what makes him one of the most essential—and underrated—American filmmakers of the last 40 years.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

In recognition of Men's Mental Health Month, I offer this not as a diagnosis but as a mirror—a reflection—of one man's honest reckoning with what it really means to “be a man” in a world that rewards our silence and buries our truth. Every June, we remember the tragic loss of great men—Robin Williams, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Anthony Bourdain. Men who made us laugh, think, feel… and then left us too soon. These weren't weak men. They were men crushed by the quiet torment of expectations they could no longer uphold. And the silence that made it impossible to ask for help. So let me say something that might cost me the stamp of being a “real man” in the eyes of some: Hi. My name is JC Doornick, and I get scared about many things. I know some will read that and think I've betrayed the code. That I've "outed the brotherhood." But I'm tired of pretending. I'm tired of losing men I love to silence. To pride. To pressure. To shame. And if sharing my truth helps even one man remove the mask, it's worth it. Because here's the truth: Being a man today is a zero-sum game.   Episode 97 Resources: Under Saturns Shadow by James Hollis  - https://amzn.to/3F4NvAP ►Follow Dr. JC Doornick and the Makes Sense Academy: Instagram: / drjcdoornick   Facebook:  / makessensepodcast   YouTube:  / drjcdoornick     MAKES SENSE PODCAST Welcome to the Makes Sense with Dr. JC Doornick Podcast: This podcast covers topics that expand human consciousness and performance.

“There's never been a movie or TV series about Casey Stengel—and he's the most animated, fun-loving, Robin Williams-type of character ever. And I intend to change that.” — Mark Galley In this very special episode of Uncorking a Story, I'm joined by Emmy-winning PA announcer for the NY Mets Colin Cosell—yes, that Cosell—as we welcome author, creative force, and lifelong storyteller Mark Galley. Mark takes us behind the scenes of his new book How the Worst Was Won, a comedic, heartfelt, and historically rich look at the birth of the New York Mets. From Casey Stengel's quirks to the bizarre and beautiful chaos of the 1962 season, Mark makes the case for why this story belongs on the screen. And trust me—you'll never think of “traded for yourself” the same way again. Key Takeaways: How the Worst Was Won started as a 900+ page screenplay before becoming a book. Casey Stengel was more than a manager—he was the quirky, reluctant savior of the Mets franchise. The 1962 Mets weren't just bad—they were legendarily bad, in the most entertaining way possible. The economic ripple effect of losing the Giants and Dodgers devastated NYC—until the Mets brought civic pride (and fans) back. Mark built fictional characters based on real fans to represent the five archetypes of Mets fandom. Colin Cosell draws powerful connections between the early Mets, the Savannah Bananas, and modern sports entertainment.

We're off this week, lil onions, but we wanted to rerun an ep that fits right in with our summer coverage of Disney Renaissance animated films, featuring Carie's all time fave, Robin Williams! This week, Carie is offending Ross' OCD by choosing a Disney film, Aladdin (1992) despite previous intentions of grouping them together. Carie defends this choice by lauding the amazing performance of her fave, Robin Williams, as the genie. Ross gets frustrated with multiple plot elements that make less than perfect sense, even for a children's film. The siblings get back to the root cause of why the film traumatized Ross in the first place, and then of course the bonus treat of Ross' unsolicited rant about Disney remakes.  SUPPORT US ON PATREON (PLEASE?)

Some interviews take a while to drop in, and while the information might be supportive, the soul connection never occurs.  I was able to instantly drop in with Scott Grace, even having moments of silence, simply pure connected appreciation where there was nothing to do, nowhere to go... simply bask in pure presence and intimacy :-) And we laughed our faces off! I was in rapture as he continued to sing to me! In this high-frequency conversation, we also discussed... - How is it that he gives himself over to Spirit and is able to download lyrics that inspire people  - How Scott's songs can blast somebody's heart open on their birthdays or anniversaries, or inspire a huge crowd at a personal growth event - How the traditional educational path was not honoring of his genius, and how he bravely followed his knowing - How his understanding and embodiment of the Divine Masculine has shifted over the decades - How his Spiritual Dr Seuss video went viral, inspiring millions and confirming his gifts for this planet - How having your very own Affirmation song can be such an exquisite morning practice to greet the day in your power, joy, and freedom - And we got up to some multi-dimensional mischief, magic, live music, and dancing over on Patreon during the after-the-show episode... ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content! About Scott Grace:   Scott Grace, who has been described as a cross between John Denver, Robin Williams, and Dr. Seuss, is wanted by the authorities for creating peace, as well as defying the law of gravity with levity. Contact with Scott is likely to be hazardous to your misery, as he has provoked outbreaks of joy in four out of five laboratory humans. It is alleged that Scott's work has so threatened to cut into the sales of anti-depressants that pharmaceutical companies have offered him millions to retire.  Scott gives keynotes using a stolen identity, a.k.a. the Spiritual Dr. Seuss. His feel-good videos on YouTube have infected over 2.5 million people with just four of his Seussian videos. Scott has been known to practice life coaching without a license, eluding the police by working on Zoom. He fancies himself an intuitive channel who smuggles wisdom and guidance over the border from beings he calls spirit guides, who are also not licensed, and who have allegedly not filed a tax return in several lifetimes. As a front, Scott does do various legal, above-board activities. He has written four books, his latest being Mindful Masculinity. Scott also has recorded nine CDs (remember CDs?) of his original music and comedy. He presents as an inspirational guest speaker and singer at churches, non-profits, schools, and corporate events. As an occasional stand-up comedian in the Bay Area, he has shared the stage with Dana Carvey and Robin Williams.  But don't be fooled. His rampage of Song Portraits, custom-made, personalized song gifts that honor people for their birthdays, anniversaries, or for no reason at all, has been killing people softly with their song since 1987.

Before RuPaul's Drag Race, there was The Birdcage—a 1996 comedy that gave us drag queens, dinner party disasters, and Robin Williams in a wifebeater. This week, Jackie and Danielle are joined by their fabulous pod pals Ajay and Jon from The Delicious Recap to relive the wigs, the scandals, and the iconic walk through South Beach. With Nathan Lane stealing every scene and Gene Hackman rocking a Barbara Bush cosplay, this film is both hilarious and historically queer.The gang dives into the movie's legacy, Robin and Nathan's casting switcheroo, and why Val might be the true villain of the story (spoiler: he needed therapy). From political hypocrisy to shrimp soup sabotage, this rewatch is as chaotic as Agador in loafers. It's heartfelt, it's hilarious, and yes, it's still got that We Are Family magic.·Season 5 Episode 10-—No More Late Fees ⁠https://nomorelatefeespodcast.com⁠909-601-NMLF (6653)—Follow Us on Social:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/nomorelatefees TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@nomorelatefees Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/nomorelatefeesYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@nomorelatefees Twitterhttps://x.com/NoMoreLateFees —CONQUERing⁠⁠myconquering.com⁠⁠10% Off Code: JACKIE10—The Delicious RecapInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/deliciousrecap/TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@deliciousrecap

Legendary comedian Yakov Smirnoff owns a comedy club in Branson Missouri that bears his name and is appearing on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon this week. He tells a story of working on a film with Robin Williams and his career talking a fall along with the Soviet Union. Yakov started out at the Comedy Store working as a handyman because he didn't know much English. He roomed with Andrew Dice Clay and had to deal with Pauly Shore wrecking the place. | Jay discovered a fun way to blow off steam. He starts complaining to Rammstein's "Du Hast" and trashes the place when the song gets heavy. Bobby and the listeners join in the "Midday Temper Tantrums!" It was a musical weekend for Jay because he also discovered a new theme song for his Philadelphia Eagles. *To hear the full show to go www.siriusxm.com/bonfire to learn more FOLLOW THE CREW ON SOCIAL MEDIA: @thebonfiresxm @louisjohnson @christinemevans @bigjayoakerson @robertkellylive @louwitzkee @jjbwolfSubscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes of The Bonfire ad-free and a whole week early.  Start a free trial now on Apple Podcasts or by visiting siriusxm.com/podcastsplus.
