In this episode of our ongoing Mike Nichols Marathon we are discussing the 1996 The Birdcage. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about this movie being a massive comeback for Mike Nichols and a triumph of Elaine May's screenwriting. We touch on the many talents of the film's diverse cast that included Robin Williams in an out-of-character calm role, Nathan Lane as the flamboyant diva Albert and how they faced off against the conservative characters played by Gene Hackman and Dianne Wiest. We talk about the many subtle quirks and inside jokes in the movie, The Birdcage as a movie that melted conservative hearts in 1996 and how it would have been impossible to remake it today without risking backlash from all corners.

In this episode, we break down GOOD WILL HUNTING — the emotional drama that launched Matt Damon and Ben Affleck into Hollywood and delivered one of Robin Williams' greatest performances. We explore the psychology behind Will's self-sabotage, the themes of trauma and vulnerability, and how the film balances raw emotion with sharp dialogue. From the unforgettable "It's not your fault" scene to the layered character arcs, we analyze why Good Will Hunting continues to resonate decades later. This isn't just a movie about intelligence — it's about identity, fear, and learning to move forward.   Chapters: 00:00 The inspirational story behind this movie 14:45 The Boston accent & Casey Affleck 19:23 Insane that 20 year olds wrote this movie 25:23 Professor Lambeau you horny dog 28:05 Will honestly screws over Chucky 32:56 Will is exactly the person he despises 35:05 What are these guys doing with their free time?? 37:55 Maybe the worst fight scene in movie history 41:06 The beautiful visual storytelling 45:21 Showing Will's subconscious battle 57:33 Our official rating & final thoughts 1:09:58 Cue the music

Starring Robin Williams and Sally Field, we take it WAY back with this....delightful, yet creepy family film. As children, we were on Robin Williams' side, Sally was a buzz kill. As adults and mother's, HE HAD FARM ANIMALS IN MY HOUSE FOR A PARTY I SAID WASN'T HAPPENING. To him, the divorce came out of nowhere. To her, this was the final straw on a heaping pile of straws. Let's not forget that those poor kids are gonna need a shit ton of therapy. Not because they saw their dad dressed like a woman- who hasn't- but because they formed a relationship with Mrs. Doubtfire just to learn she was fake.

Thoughts on Kenneth Branagh as a director, Robin Williams being talented enough to distract us from the exposition-dumping of his side role, showing love for the tropes of amnesia and hypnotism, and nostalgia for older thrillers from the 90s or so that were willing to go places (including Kiss the Girls and What Lies Beneath) arise as a few of the topics for this episode.Directed by Kenneth Branagh, Dead Again stars Branagh, Emma Thompson, Derek Jacobi, Wayne Knight, Andy Garcia, Robin Williams, Richard Easton, Jo Anderson, Hanna Schygulla, Campbell Scott, and Miriam Margolyes.Spoilers for What Lies Beneath start at 33:00 and end at 33:50Spoilers for Dead Again start at 34:40Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastrHere's how you can learn more about Palestine and IsraelHere's how you can keep up-to-date on this genocideHere's how you can send eSIM cards to Palestinians in order to help them stay connected onlineGood Word:• Andy: Candy Cain Kills and Candy Cain Kills Again: The Second Slaying by Brian McAuley• Arthur: Dinner in AmericaReach out at email2centscritic@yahoo.com if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!Be sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes or any of your preferred podcasting platforms!Follow Arthur on Twitter, Goodpods, StoryGraph, Letterboxd, and TikTok: @arthur_ant18Follow Arthur on Bluesky: @arthur-ant18Follow the podcast on Twitter: @two_centscriticFollow the podcast on Instagram: @twocentscriticpodFollow Arthur on GoodreadsCheck out 2 Cents Critic Linktree

Welcome to another round of the Film School Janitors' BUCKET LIST! For this outing, they will be discussing all the films about POPEYE! Now you may be wondering how there is more than one film about our favorite cartoon sailor with an affinity for spinach, and that's because in 2025, he entered the public domain! But back in in 1980, he was still protected under copyright law, so Robin Williams played POPEYE in his first movie role, and how did that all pan out? Listen to find out!

In this cold dreary time, we bring you a movie set in Alaska where Robin Williams tries to fake the death of his missing brother for life insurance money but Insurance Fraud Investigator Giovanni Ribisi starts to see the cracks in Robin's story. This is also the movie that made Robin drink again.

On the afternoon of July 31, 1978, members of one of the finest improv groups of all time—Andy Goldberg, Wendy Cutler, Wayne Powers, Paul Wilson, Susan Elliott, Tony Delia, and director Dee Marcus—walked into the KMPC Radio studios at 5858 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood to record bits for The Sonny Melendrez Show. That session captured lightning in a bottle.  This episode features rare recordings of improvisational brilliance—hilarious bits that, until now, have remained unheard for decades. What listeners will hear is pure radio magic, created in the moment by seven master improvisers at the height of their creative powers. History A few weeks before the radio appearance, Dee Marcus invited me to "come play with us" at an Off the Wall performance in a small dance studio tucked beside a hamburger stand in West Hollywood. Standing in the back of the room, I watched as one member of the troupe absolutely dismantled the audience with fearless wit and astonishing physical comedy. After the show, once the audience had cleared out, the group gathered together. That performer shared some news—he had just landed a starring role in a new television sitcom and would be leaving the troupe. The show was Mork & Mindy. The performer was Robin Williams. That night, I invited Off the Wall to come play on the radio. Closing Tribute Off the Wall is the longest running improve group in the Los Angeles area, celebrating 50 years of comedy excellence They continue to be a creative force—bold, generous, and endlessly inventive. Their work shaped a generation of performers and proved that collaboration, trust, and fearless imagination could create something timeless.  This recording stands as a tribute to their chemistry, their courage, and their lasting influence on comedy, improvisation, and storytelling itself. -Sonny.

Today on the podcast, Kieran and I discuss the Barry Levinson drama-comedy 'Good Morning, Vietnam'. We also spend time discussing the career of the film's star, Robin Williams, as well as other Vietnam War set films / war films in general.

Hook is a wonderfully charming movie about rediscovering the joys of one's youth. That said, critics hated it when it was released in 1991, and its director, Steven Spielberg, isn't all that high on it either. The latter is a little puzzling. Sure, Hook is too long and gets oddly dark at times, but there is still so much to enjoy. Principally, both Dustin Hoffman as Captain Hook and Robin Williams as Pan all grown up are just having a blast. Their performances, coupled with imaginative practical effects and the cadre of endearing Lost Boys, make this a return trip to Neverland well worth taking.

OpenAI's new Sora reached approximately 627,000 downloads on iOS in its first week but the milestone quickly turned sour as deepfake videos of celebrities, historical figures, and copyrighted characters flooded social media. Families of Robin Williams and Martin Luther King Jr. have condemned the unauthorised AI re-creations, while studios and estates demand OpenAI protect likeness rights. One person who is well placed to talk about this is Ken Jon Miyachi the Co-Founder of BitMind, a deepfake detection company focusing on social platforms. I recently caught up with Ken and he spoke about his background, deepfakes, AI, social media and more.More about BitMind:BitMind is dedicated to the future of trustworthy, scalable AI. they are building an orchestration layer that accelerates the deployment of AI models across decentralised networks, empowering developers to contribute to groundbreaking projects like Bittensor Subnet 34—the world's first decentralised deepfake detection system and a keystone of their mission.

Marina Zenovich, the acclaimed documentary filmmaker behind films on Richard Pryor, Robin Williams, and now Chevy Chase, joins Matt Wilstein on ‘Obsessed: The Podcast' to discuss her latest film, ‘I'm Chevy Chase, and You're Not'.

Along the way, Matt and Kevin Fallon dive into their obsession with ‘The Pitt,' the medical drama that's back and more gripping than ever, and the show's shocking and emotional premiere moments—from abandoned babies to the chaos of a Fourth of July in the ER.

This week, The Scene Snobs Podcast welcomes special guest Heidi Christopher for an in-depth conversation about her chilling new horror novel Lies The Dirt Keeps. We'll dive into:

Francis Ford Coppola is one of the greatest directors ever. Period. Yet even his resume is not devoid of misfires and flops. Enter Jack, a dramedy about a 10-year old kid trapped in the body of a grown man. No, this isn't Big. In this 1996 film, the titular kiddo, Jack Powell, ages far faster than his peers. With that odd condition comes its own set of issues. As one may assume, yes, poor Jack would have a very short lifespan. Therein lies the problems. Not that a family film shouldn't include some moments of seriousness, but Jack generally doesn't balance the whimsy and the melancholy well. Hence its poor reception from critics. That aside, there is an earnestness to Robin Williams' performance, and the movie does have a few laughs. Are there enough for it to warrant a watch? That probably depends on the individual viewer's tastes. Now, sit back, age gracefully with a Buenos Tiempos from Belching Beaver Brewing, and save those red Gummy Bears! The Thunderous Wizard, Chumpzilla, and Bling Blake are drunkenly hashing out all our problems with Paulie. This Week's Segments: Introduction/Plot Breakdown – For some people, 40 is the new 10.

The Men of Micheaux debut their new home at Anga Studios, planting their flag (and feet) on new territory. Listeners, aka Missionaries, have the Men analyzing the careers of Gabrielle Union and Robin Williams (one is more meh than you think, and it ain't hers). Going Six Degrees of D'urville Martin to Z-actors Zach Galifianakis and Zazie Beetz lands the show in the lap of Chevy Chase (OUCH!), but the Men end things delighted by the tantalizingly funny ZOLA, featuring another tour-de-force performance by Micheaux Mission favorite Taylour Paige.   We're making video versions of our reviews!

Throw some invisible food and get ready to never grow up as we fly into 1991's Hook. Why was the media of the 80s and 90s so full of daddy issues? Was Robin Williams going for restrained in this role, or phoning it in? How much of the Millennial generation considers Rufio their first crush? Was there any scenery left unchewed after Dustin Hoffman was done with it? We'll tell you once we find our marbles, 

Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us.

Interview Date: November 9th, 2025Episode Summary:In this episode, Menina sits down with Rhonda Kaufman Malkin to unpack how a competition kid from Irvine turned a packed schedule of AP classes, UCLA coursework, the UCLA Dance Team, and three seasons as an LA Laker Girl into a long-term professional career. Rhonda shares how she balanced college with high-level pro work, why she switched from a dance major to sociology, and how booking five jobs in a row her senior year convinced her to go “all in” on dance after graduation.She walks listeners through her journey to Radio City—getting cut from her first Rockette audition, training herself between Disney shows, then booking the tour just before 9/11 and spending 12 seasons with the Rockettes (nine in NYC), seven of those as a swing, memorizing 36 tracks.Now the founder of Fusion Exercise, Rhonda has coached 75 dancers into the Rockettes and trains performers for Broadway, NFL/NBA teams, and precision work worldwide. She breaks down what makes precision dance different (counting, spacing grids, eye-high kicks, stamina), how the current three-day Rockette audition works, and why cross-training, professionalism, and genuine love of dance are non-negotiable.

Robin Williams re-teaming with Barry Levinson, what could go wrong? Apparently, a lot! Film/culture critic Drew McWeeny joins Paul & Jason to discuss the 1992 surreal comedy Toys, where Robin Williams plays a less charming and more preachy Willy Wonka. They cover LL Cool J's interrogation, the bonkers reveal about Joan Cusack's character, and the strange tone and casting choices. Oh and don't worry, we don't forget about the sea monster!
