Podcast appearances and mentions of rocky graziano

Many boxing movies have surpassed what Robert Wise and Paul Newman brought to the screen in Somebody Up There Likes Me, but their biopic DID win 2 technical Oscars. Newman is not at his best playing Rocky Graziano, an angry young delinquent who turned a life spent in various forms of trouble into a championship boxing career. He was still new to movies though and wasn't to be laconic and cool as he get to be in other roles. This was clearly a huge influence on the most-famous fictional boxer, Sly Stallone's Rocky Balboa. Ryan had fun with that comparison in this solo show, which is the 653rd edition of Have You Ever Seen. So step into the ring and take advantage of your hate as we ring in the spring this Oscar Month with a monologue about Somebody Up There Likes Me. Well, Actually: the content in the 3rd trivia question is inaccurate: Newman had 10 Oscar nominations in total, 9 for acting and 1 for producing (plus, Denzel Washington has 10 in total too because he was nominated for producing Fences). Also, to be crystal clear, the next solo show won't be on April 4th. It will be on Monday, March 24th. Bev will miss that day as she continues to recover from her surgery.

Bea Franklin is a shining example of a life well-lived, defying age and adversity with her infectious spirit and zest for life. As the daughter of the iconic Pep Boys' "Jack," Bea has a rich history deeply intertwined with the automotive industry. Yet her journey extends far beyond her family's business legacy.Born almost 99 years ago, Bea is a testament to resilience and vitality. She proudly carries the title of a breast cancer survivor, inspiring others with her strength and determination. Bea's longevity is matched only by her vibrant personality, and she remains a true force to be reckoned with.One of the unique features that set Bea apart is her heterochromatic eyes—she possesses one blue eye and one brown eye. This rare trait, found in less than 200,000 individuals in the United States, is just one of the many fascinating aspects of Bea's captivating persona.Having served as a school librarian in her earlier years, Bea's love for knowledge and literature is evident. However, it was her serendipitous encounter with Corporal Jerry Franklin on November 4, 1945, that would forever change her life. The couple married in a spontaneous elopement just weeks later, on November 30, 1945, and remained devoted partners for an incredible 51 years.Bea's life is a testament to living life to the fullest. She has travelled the world, explored various countries spanning over 30 nations and visited 30 states across the United States. With a passion for theatre, Bea frequents upscale New York City restaurants and delights in the vibrant energy of Broadway shows. Her love for the arts extends beyond the stage, as she cherishes her friendships with accomplished actors and actresses, often travelling to support them during their performances in touring companies throughout the United States.Despite living in an age where landline phones are rare, Bea still proudly holds onto the same phone number she obtained in 1958—a true testament to her unwavering spirit and connection to the past.Bea's father, "Jack," co-founded the iconic Pep Boys brand and logo in 1921, leaving an indelible mark on automotive history. In addition to this achievement, he went on to establish another successful chain of stores, Strauss Stores, after relocating to New York City. The family's contributions to the automotive industry are deeply rooted in Bea's personal history.Through her late husband's lens, Bea bears witness to rare World War Two photographs that capture the unfolding events of history. Corporal Jerry Franklin, a US Army photographer with the Signal Corps' 163rd Photo Company, documented the invasions throughout Europe and North Africa. His gripping images include the liberation of the Dachau concentration camp, as well as encounters with renowned figures like Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, Humphrey Bogart, Mickey Rooney, and Joe E. Lewis.As an engaging storyteller, Bea recounts her humorous experience of serving lunch to a future US President with an attitude. Her home has been a hub of social gatherings, welcoming influential individuals such as a US President, legendary boxing champion and TV personality Rocky Graziano, and prominent NHL players from the New York Rangers.Bea Franklin epitomizes a life filled with adventure, resilience, and genuine connections. Her experiences and recollections offer invaluable insights into a bygone era and inspire others to embrace every moment, cherishing the memories that shape our lives. As Bea continues to share her secrets to a fulfilling life, she leaves an indelible mark on all who have the pleasure of knowing her. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Django Nudo and Smut Peddler get their Lederhosen on (proverbially) to celebrate the best of German vintage smut. But first they toast Cultpix's 888th title, the favourite "Death Race 2000" (1975). Not just ooompha-oompha music, but some catchy tunes for this week's celluloid Kraut fest. The Kronhausens x 2:Sexologists Dr Eberhard and Dr Phyllis Kronhausen are Germany's 'white coaters' that give education respectability to scenes of sex and smut in two films. "Freedom to Love" (1969) looks at  lesbianism, illegal abortion, swing clubs and Hugh Hefner; while  "Sex Freedom in Germany" (1970) also features pornographers Owalt Kolle and Beate Uhse. The Sylt Connection x 2The island of Sylt as a film subject is an excuse for lots of nakedness. "Naked and Free" (1971) not only includes naked Fräulines, but also spliced inserts of  Jake La Motta and Rocky Graziano! "Ready, Willing & Able" (1971) is about a Miss Sylt contest (clothing not required) at the Eden Playboy Club. Costume films x 3Historic and literary settings were a great excuse for boobies on display. "How to Play the Seduction Game" (1970) is a historic sex comedy loosely based on Werner Zibaso's French classic. "Teach Me" (1972) is a series of erotic vignettes about the sexploits of Lieutenant Ferdinand with Christine Schuberth and Astrid Boner [sic!] It has a weirdly contemporary poster and international titles such as "Ferdinand - tjuren som inte ville" (Sweden) and "The Games Schoolgirls Play" (USA). In "The Sinful Bed" (1973) we hear from the bed about the romping it has experienced over the ages. A good double bill with Mac Ahlberg's "The Bed" (1965). The Sweden Connection x 3"Daughters of Joy" (1968) is a period piece (of ass) in the 'Sexy Susan' (Frau Wirtin) series with Teri Tordai in the lead and also starring Harald Leipnitz from Swedish sex comedy "Do You Believe in Swedish Sin?" (1970). "Moonlighting Mistress" (1971) is the strangely translated title of the German original "I Slept with My Murderess". "The Erotic Adventures of Hansel and Gretel" (1970) had punny international titles such as "Hans og Grete i den forsexede skov" (Denmark), "Hands off Gretel!" (UK), "The Naked Wytche" (USA) and weird one like "Gymni se mia Rolls Royce" (Greece) and"Favole calde... per svedesi bollenti" (Italy), even though nothing Swedish about the sexy Grimm fairytale.OthersAlso "The Love Keys" (1971), "Massage Parlor '73" (1972), "Office Girls" (1972), "Run Virgin Run" (1973) and "All Around Service" (1974).

In 1946, Middleweight Champion Tony Zale returned to the ring after 5 years Naval Service to knock out Rocky Graziano in the 6th round at Yankee Stadium in New York.

Hacemos un mágico viaje en el espacio y en el tiempo para visitar el Gimnasio Stillman´s, en Nueva York, el mayor templo de conocimiento y sabiduría boxísitica de todas las épocas. Durante años, fue el centro de trabajo de los mejores boxeadores, mánager y entrenadores de la historia del noble arte. O como lo llamaba el genial escritor A.J. Liebling, la Universidad de la Octava Avenida. Desde Joe Louis a Rocky Marciano, Benny Leonard, Rocky Graziano, Jake la Motta, Joey Maxim o Jersey Joe Walcott. Incluso legendarios excampeones como Jack Johnson o Jack Dempsey frecuentaban el peculiar recinto, regentado por el peculiar señor Stillman, que dirigía su particular academia con mano de hierro y un revólver en su cintura siempre a la vista. Incluso, se creía que el viciado aire que allí se respiraba tenía propiedades mágicas. Nunca jamás en la historia, el boxeo fue más auténtico que en el Stillman's Gym.

Join us for this fantastic biopic of Rocky Graziano with a real tour-de-force performance by Paul Newman.

Al Magazzino delle Idee da inizio ottobre oltre 130 fotografie testimoniano il precoce talento di Stanley Kubrick, il genio del cinema che a soli 17 anni lavorò come fotoreporter per Look Magazine, celebre rivista di New York, documentando tra il 1945 e il 1950, i diversi aspetti della società newyorchese e americana, manifestando una straordinaria sensibilità fotografica e capacità narrativa attraverso le immagini. Fino al 30 gennaio 2022, l'Ente regionale per il patrimonio culturale propone al Magazzino delle Idee la mostra, dedicata alla eccezionale carriera da fotoreporter di Kubrick prima che divenisse il celebre regista che tutti conosciamo. In esposizione a Trieste oltre alle fotografie circa quaranta numeri Look, in cui compaiono molte delle immagini scattate dal giovane artista. Le immagini testimoniano lo straordinario talento per le storie e le inquadrature di uno dei geni cinematografici del dopoguerra, regista di capolavori come Orizzonti di Gloria, Lolita, 2001 Odissea nello spazio, Il Dottor Stranamore, Arancia Meccanica, Barry Lyndon, Shining, Full Metal Jacket e Eyes Wide Shut. Il primo scatto di Kubrick pubblicato da Look è datato 26 giugno 1945. Si tratta del ritratto di un edicolante affranto per la morte di Roosevelt. Un'immagine che affascinò a tal punto gli editors di Look da indurre la rivista ad offrire al fotografo dilettante la possibilità di entrare nello staff come fotoreporter. Nel 1950 lascia il suo lavoro Look per dedicarsi ai cortometraggi e al film Paura e desiderio (1953), primo di una straordinaria avventura da regista. Oltre alle immagini scattate nei vicoli di New York, così come nei luoghi dell'alta società, nei night club e negli stadi, negli studi televisivi e radiofonici, in mostra si possono ammirare i servizi fotografici dedicati a una serie personalità del mondo del cinema, dello sport, della cultura: il giovane attore Montgomery Clift, ripreso nell'appartamento nel quale conduce una vita del tutto ordinaria nonostante la fama ormai raggiunta, e ancora il campione di boxe italo-americano Rocky Graziano, uomo dall'infanzia difficile, colto da Kubrick lontano dai riflettori; Peter Arno, fumettista bohémien nel suo appartamento di Park Avenue; Betsy Furstenberg, simbolo della vita mondana newyorkese contrapposta all'esistenza precaria dei piccoli lustrascarpe che si aggirano agli angoli delle strade di New York con il loro sguardo rivolto alla speranza di una vita diversa e dei giovani ritratti nelle diverse fasi dell'amore adolescenziale. Kubrick punta la macchina fotografica anche sugli artisti del circo, fotografati durante le prove, mentre negli scatti della Columbia University, il giovane reporter osserva da dietro l'obiettivo il luogo d'élite per eccellenza dove l'America forma la classe dirigente del futuro. A rendere particolarmente interessante la mostra al Magazzino delle Idee, è la presenza, accanto alle fotografie sviluppate in grande formato, dei numeri di Look in cui le immagini apparvero per la prima volta. È così possibile cogliere il contesto giornalistico per cui furono concepite e metterle in relazione agli articoli o ai testi che le accompagnarono. L'esposizione non si limita tuttavia a proporre il materiale edito da Look. Molti degli scatti di Kubrick non trovarono spazio nelle pagine della rivista, per lo stile eccentrico, per il carattere anticonvenzionale per i tempi o rispetto alla linea editoriale del giornale. Si tratta tuttavia di immagini straordinarie che documentano l'evoluzione dell'estetica del grande regista e ci permettono oggi di coglierne appieno il precoce talento. Nella sezione finale della mostra sarà proiettato un cortometraggio di Stanley Kubrick, il documentario incentrato sul pugile e attore Walter Cartier, Day of the Fight (1951). Il lavoro fotografico su questa personalità del Bronx divenne lo storyboard del film e consentì a Kubrick di elaborare le scene, gli angoli di ripresa, le inquadrature e le luci.

The 1980 movie "Raging Bull" about Jake LaMotta is not just a great boxing movie, it's widely considered one of the greatest movies ever made. What fight fans might be less familiar with is a 1956 Oscar-winning masterpiece called "Somebody Up There Likes Me" starring Paul Newman as Rocky Graziano.  This week on the Characters of Boxing (and Beyond) we profile the tumultuous life and career of Graziano, fighting out of Stillman's Gym in New York City. Graziano wasn't just a ferocious competitor inside the ring he was an absolute character outside of it. After his career ended he starred as an actor, alongside LaMotta, his childhood buddy, and Sugar Ray Robinson in the comedic sitcom "Car 54 Where are You?". Today's podcast explores "Somebody Up There Likes Me", Graziano's deep troubles, and his subsequent triumphs. It also looks at the character he played on "Car 54" and explains what we can learn about the human condition from its narrative and incredibly poignant symbolism.

Today's Guest: George Kennedy, Oscar winning actor, Cool Hand Luke, author, Trust Me Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience of guys who remember every line from Cool Hand Luke and The Naked Gun but can’t remember their wife’s birthday… in the NEW new media capital of the world, St. Petersburg, Florida!   Order 'Cool Hand Luke' [Blu-ray] starring Paul Newman and George Kennedy, available from Amazon.com by clicking on the Blu-Ray DVD above! Order Trust Me: A Memoir by George Kennedy by clicking the book cover above!   It’s easy to point out that George Kennedy, in a career spanning five decades, worked with some of the greatest names in Hollywood history. Paul Newman. Cary Grant. Kirk Douglas. Frank Sinatra. Leslie Nielsen. Bettie Davis. Clint Eastwood. John Wayne. Maggie Smith. Peter Ustinov. Carol Burnett. David Niven. That’s pretty cool, of course, but having just finished his new book, Trust Me: A Memoir, I realize how lucky they were to have worked with him. GEORGE KENNEDY audio excerpt: "Ellen Barkin (who plays Kennedy's daughter in the film, 'Another Happy Day') is one of the wonders in life. She's like Rocky Graziano in skirts." Now in his mid-80s, Kennedy has illustrated so many iconic roles – Joe Patroni in the Airport movies, Captain Ed Hocken in The Naked Gun movies, Bumper Morgan in “The Blue Knight” TV series– and, of course, he won Best Actor in a Supporting Role for playing “Dragline” in Cool Hand Luke in 1967 – so it’s going to be as hard for me to know where to start asking questions as it was for him to organize all of his stories in the book. If you love a good Hollywood story, you’ll love reading Kennedy’s stories of shooting The Eiger Sanction with Eastwood or suffering the cheapness and meanness of John Derek on Bolero. He even explains how he came to appear as Ellen Barkin's father in Another Happy Day, one this year's hottest film festival indie releases. Trust me: this is going to be a real treat.
