Podcast appearances and mentions of Roger Deakins

In this episode of Challenge Accepted, Frank and Thomas revisit the 2010 animated hit How to Train Your Dragon, celebrating its powerful themes, stunning animation, and emotional depth. They explore what makes the original film stand out even today, how it compares to the new live-action version, and why Toothless became one of DreamWorks' most beloved characters. From world-building and sound design to the bond between Hiccup and his dragon, the duo digs into every corner of Berk and beyond. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00:00 Welcome to the show 00:00:06 Why How to Train Your Dragon still works 00:02:44 Full movie breakdown 00:05:30 World-building and dragon lore 00:08:00 Toothless' animal-like behavior and animation details 00:10:26 Relationship building through invention 00:13:38 Astrid's role and growth 00:16:05 Flying scenes and metaphor for trust 00:17:15 Disability representation and character arcs 00:19:49 Hiccup's friendships and social shift 00:21:00 Training montage and smart storytelling 00:23:03 Themes of empathy and understanding 00:26:48 John Powell's score and musical impact 00:29:03 Cast shoutout and voice acting highlights 00:31:02 Dean DeBlois directing both versions 00:34:43 Comparing to the Lilo & Stitch remake 00:36:12 Final battle and visual design 00:37:30 Emotional beats that still hit hard 00:39:12 Era of emotional storytelling in animation 00:40:00 Fun facts and trivia 00:45:13 Does it make the Top 100? 00:47:00 Next week's pick: Jaws 00:48:38 Wrap-up and call to action Key Takeaways: How to Train Your Dragon holds up through its heartfelt story and layered characters. The film uses inventive animation and sound to bring Toothless to life in a relatable, pet-like way. Hiccup's journey is about empathy, invention, and identity, making him a rare and compelling lead. The flying sequences, scored by John Powell and designed with input from Roger Deakins, are still cinematic highlights. The story's approach to disability and emotional growth gives it depth that resonates with audiences of all ages. The new live-action remake stays true to the spirit of the original thanks to director Dean DeBlois returning. Quotes:

Bond is back — and better than ever. In Episode 23 of my ongoing 007 series, I dive into one of the most celebrated entries in the franchise: Skyfall (2012). Directed by Sam Mendes with Cinematography by Roger Deakins, and starring Daniel Craig in peak form, Skyfall delivers emotional depth, high-stakes espionage, and stunning visuals — all while celebrating the 50th anniversary of James Bond on screen.To pair with this sleek, stylish Bond adventure, I'm pouring a glass of the 2024 release of Bomberger's Declaration Bourbon — a bold, complex whiskey that's as refined and powerful as 007 himself. I share tasting notes, my thoughts on the latest batch, and how it complements the themes and tone of Skyfall.

This week, the boys head back to 2007 to spin another Roger Deakins film, “No Country For Old Men”, currently streaming on Paramount+. While other shows have covered the film, we shoot from the hip and discuss how it felt to re-watch it and what it means to us. F those other stuffy critic narcs. The cinematographer from Dave's homeland had a helluva a year with three award-winning films, this one winning Best Picture at the Oscars, and cementing the Coen Brothers as industry elites, much to their Chigurh (that's a movie joke). Yeah, it beat “There Will Be Blood”. We talk about it a bit. John also opens with his “MI” and “Friendship” takes. Grab a beer and hear our thoughts. Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek talks to the playwright behind a world premiere that takes a comedic look back at one of Chicago's most eccentric characters. The Dueling Critics, Kelly Kleiman and Jonathan Abarbanel, join Gary to review a new musical that tells the story of the legendary rock group, the Kinks. Later in the show, Gary visits the curator of a new exhibit that covers DuPage's farming history. And we'll revisit Gary's interview with Oscar-winning cinematographer Roger Deakins, who's photo exhibit is on display in Chicago through the end of April.

En compañía de los chicos de Cine Actual comentamos Sicario, la película de Denis Villeneuve con Benicio del Toro. En Par Impar llamamos a los chicos del podcast Cine Actual (Francisco Javier Santiago, Daniel Rengel y Samuel Úbeda) para comentar Sicario, la ya mítica película de Denis Villeneuve con Emily Blunt y Benicio del Toro que retrata el mundo del narcotráfico en México y la frontera con EEUU. En la zona fronteriza entre Estados Unidos y México, la joven agente del FBI Kate Macer (Emily Blunt) es reclutada en medio de una iniciativa secreta del Gobierno para luchar contra el tráfico de drogas. Bajo el mando de Matt Graver (Josh Brolin), un frío miembro de las fuerzas gubernamentales, y de Alejandro (Benicio del Toro), un enigmático asesor, el equipo emprende una misión que lleva a la mujer a cuestionarse sus convicciones sobre la guerra contra los narcos y los límites de la ley. La película de Denis Villeneuve, que ahora ha alcanzado la gloria definitiva con Dune y su secuela, está escrita por el muy productivo Taylor Sheridan, que posteriormente presentaría la serie Yellowstone y todas sus secuelas y precuelas, y que aquí ensaya algunos de sus registros principales en una película tensa y excelentemente rodada por el director de fotografía Roger Deakins.

Mark and Zanandi discuss 2004 thriller The Village. Directed by M. Night Shyamalan, and starring Joaquin Phoenix, Bryce Dallas Howard and Adrien Brody, the polarizing film is considered to be a colossal miscalculation by some and a beautiful romance by others (which makes it great to talk about). In this episode, they also talk about misleading marketing, Roger Deakins, and the excellence of M. Night Shyamalan. Enjoy!

In episode two of our Visionary Remakes season, we survey the recent Coen brothers remake of True Grit (2010) and compare it to the original film, a John Wayne vehicle from 1969.Special Guest: Brian Eggert is the owner and film critic of Deep Focus Review, where he has written movie reviews, in-depth essays, and critical analyses since 2007. Brian also regularly appears on KARE 11, the NBC affiliate for the Twin Cities, to review and discuss movies. He belongs to the Society For Cinema and Media Studies, Minnesota Film Critics Alliance, Online Film & Television Association, International Film Society Critics, Independent Film Critics of America, The Critics Circle, and National Coalition of Independent Scholars.Westerns have gone through many cycles since the beginning of filmmaking. Right now, we are seeing an uptick in interest as the tv show Yellowstone dominates the traditional tv market. But back in 2010, Westerns were definitely far off in the background as comic book movies had begun to take over the box office. In 2010, the Coen brothers were coming off a very successful adaption of No Country for Old Men (2007) as well as two more left of center films, the sprightly spy romp Burn After Reading from 2008 and the niche existentialist A Serious Man from 2009. It is unclear why they decided to remake True Grit and focus on the novel from 1968 instead of the John Wayne movie which came a year later in 1969, but the choice was very successful. True Grit (2010) became the 2nd biggest Western in the modern box office.The 2010 True Grit showcases the refined talents of the Coens alongside the gorgeous cinematography of Roger Deakins, the layered and rich music from Carter Burwell, and a smashing breakout debut performance from Hailee Steinfeld as the lead Mattie Ross. The 1969 version of True Grit offers so much less. Despite John Wayne winning an Oscar for his portrayal of Rooster Cogburn, the original film seems totally out of step and out of time. In hindsight, it was an end-of-the-line production for the core creatives involved. The director, writer, and star actor were all at the end of their careers. Indeed this very type of Western was on its last leg as evidenced by the giant leap the genre made at the same time this film was being produced and released. Watch any of the bigger westerns from the late 1960s and then try to sit through True Grit (1969). The dislocation and disorientation is severe. The original True Grit was a swan song that came about a decade too late.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 124 - Quyen Tran - Cinematographer On this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with cinematographer Quyen Tran (AHSOKA, MAID, PALM SPRINGS). We start the episode with Quyen's harrowing recollection of her experience in New York City on 9/11, and she reflects on how the event steered her life towards filmmaking. While studying film at UCLA, Quyen fell into documentary filmmaking, and she shares how she's since branched into directing television and miniseries. She reveals who gave her the initial push to even try directing, and she reveals what she enjoys about it compared to cinematography. We also discuss the films and shows that influenced Quyen early in life, and we share our appreciation for the universal visual storytelling in THE BENNY HILL SHOW and I LOVE LUCY. We later learn how Quyen used lighting to lean into the darker moments of the sci-fi comedy PALM SPRINGS, and she shares how she feels her experiences as a director has made her a better cinematographer. Plus, Quyen reveals what we included in the “Roger Deakins lighting kit” distributed to her class while we were the cinematographer-in-residence at UCLA years ago. - This episode is sponsored by Aputure

Sparse. Laconic. Expansive. Languid. Wry. The Coen Brother's 2007 Neo-Noir Western 'No Country For Old Men' moves to the fatefully ticking beat of it's own Grandfather Clock.  It's a film that rewards close viewing and is astoundingly faithful to Cormac McCarthy's novel while also being so completely a "Coen Brothers film" even as it's their (only?) adaptation of an existing book. Featuring an iconic performance by Javier Bardem as the philosophical killer Anton Chigur, brilliant cinematography from frequent Coen collaborator Roger Deakins, and perfectly wrought twangily-Texas turns by Josh Brolin and Tommy Lee Jones. A number of signature Coens scenes of the lead characters interacting with a variety of shop clerks, receptionists, store owners, and authority figures abound.    

"Credit to the Edit" trifft "Hinter der Kamera": Ein Deep Dive in die Montage von "September 5" Willkommen zu einer neuen Episode des "Credit to the Edit"-Podcasts! In dieser Sonderausgabe präsentieren wir ein Crossover mit dem Podcast „Hinter der Kamera“ und tauchen ein in die Welt des Filmschnitts, fokussiert auf den Film “September 5”. Rainer Nigrelli und Timo Landsiedel begrüßen dazu Regisseur Tim Fehlbaum und den renommierten Editor Hansjörg Weißbrich, die uns Einblicke in den Entstehungsprozess dieses Werks gewähren. Parallel beleuchtet die Episode des Podcasts „Hinter der Kamera“ die Kameraarbeit von “September 5” in einem Gespräch mit dem Bildgestalter Markus Förderer und Regisseur Tim Fehlbaum. “September 5”, der am 9. Januar 2025 in die Kinos kommt, thematisiert die Geiselnahme während der Olympischen Spiele 1972 in München. Tim wählt dabei einen ungewöhnlichen Ansatz: Die Ereignisse werden aus der Perspektive der ABC-Sportjournalisten geschildert, die das Geschehen vor Ort verfolgten. Diese Herangehensweise wirft Fragen auf: Wie lässt sich eine solch komplexe und vielschichtige Geschichte aus nur einer Perspektive vermitteln? Und wie gelingt es, Spannung und Dramatik über die gesamte Spieldauer von 90 Minuten aufrechtzuerhalten? Diese Fragen stehen im Mittelpunkt unseres Gesprächs. Tim und Hansjörg erläutern die Herausforderungen, die mit der Montage von September 5 verbunden waren. Etwa die Entwicklung der dichten, atmosphärischen Erzählweise. Oder wie die durch den dokumentarischen Ansatz entstandene Materialfülle überhaupt im Montageprozess bewältigt werden konnte. Oder wie Schnitt und Musik ineinandergreifen, um die Tonalität des Films setzen. Ein auditiver Blick hinter die Kulissen von “September 5” – für alle, die sich für Film und Filmmontage interessieren.   Hansjörg Weißbrich Hansjörg Weißbrich ist ein renommierter deutscher Filmeditor, der seit 1995 an über 60 Filmen mitgewirkt hat.  Zu seinen bekanntesten Werken zählen "23", "Crazy", "Lichter", "Requiem", "Sturm", "Wer wenn nicht wir", "Zwei Leben", "Nachtzug nach Lissabon", "Colonia Dignidad", "Unorthodox" und "She Said" . Für seine herausragenden Leistungen wurde Weißbrich mehrfach ausgezeichnet, darunter für den Deutschen Filmpreis, den deutschen Fernsehpreis sowie Filmplus/Edimotion. Er ist Mitglied der Deutschen Filmakademie und wurde 2018 in die Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences berufen.   Tim Fehlbaum Tim Fehlbaum ist ein Schweizer Filmregisseur und Drehbuchautor, der für seine visuell bestechenden Weltvisionen bekannt ist. Nach seinem Studium an der Hochschule für Fernsehen und Film München gab er sein Spielfilmdebüt 2011 mit dem postapokalyptischen Thriller "Hell" (Montage: Andreas Menn). 2021 feierte sein Science-Fiction-Thriller "Tides" (Montage: Andreas Menn) Premiere auf der Berlinale. Sein jüngster Film, "September 5 – The Day Terror Went Live" (Montage: Hansjörg Weißbrich) wurde für einen Golden Globe Award nominiert. Fehlbaums Filme zeichnen sich durch ihre technische Präzision, künstlerische Tiefe und den Mut zur Auseinandersetzung mit gesellschaftlich relevanten Themen aus. Er gilt als einer der vielversprechendsten Regisseure seiner Generation.   Hinter der Kamera "Hinter der Kamera" ist ein monatlicher erscheinender Podcast, der sich mit Filmschaffenden wie Kameraleuten und Editor:innen auseinandersetzt. Moderator Timo Landsiedel konzentriert sich in ausführlichen Gesprächen auf die Motivation und Inspiration hinter den Bildern, wobei jede Folge ein aktuelles Projekt des Gastes beleuchtet. Zu den Gästen zählen erfahrene Bildgestalter wie Roger Deakins, Nikolaus Summerer oder Monika Plura. Timo Landsiedel Timo Landsiedel ist Fachjournalist und Buchautor mit Schwerpunkt Film und Medien.

There is no other filmmaker working today that personifies being the "man in the arena", as Theodore Roosevelt so eloquently put it, than Matthew Heineman. His films have ranged from the frontlines of wars to the sweet and touching portrayal of Jon Batiste in AMERICAN SYMPHONY (2023). Just making one such film could be a career pinnacle -- Matthew has directed 14 wholly original, extraordinary special artistic contributions to the medium -- and he's here to share the details.In this episode, we discuss:you don't just walk onto the stage of Radio City Music Hall, in a special operations team room, or in a emergency room during COVID -- these are remarkably unique places. How did he manage that?how he is comfortable in such a wide array of different topics;whether he would recommend his path (he says it's important to have a "curiosity about the world");how his first film, OUR TIME (2009) was in a way his film school;how he sees the difference between journalism and documentary;his process regarding trust between filmmaker and subject ("trust is everything"), and he talks about how he earned the trust for the closeups in AMERICAN SYMPHONY;the story behind the creation of AMERICAN SYMPHONY;his reaction to the whiplash of the media regarding its chances at the Oscars and how he views awards as a filmmaker; Matt talks movingly about his relationship with awards as his career has evolved;"why do we make art and who do we make art for are questions that we constantly need to be asking";his relationship with the art of filmmaking, his friendship with Roger Deakins, and the importance of sound;what's next for one of the most talented filmmakers we have in both the narrative and documentary world and how he is able to toggle between both successfully.Matt's Indie Film Highlight: MURDERBALL (2005) dir. by Dana Adam Shapiro; Henry-Alex Rubin; SHERMAN'S MARCH (1986) dir. by Ross McElweeLinks:Our Time ProjectsFollow Matthew on InstagramSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

As cinematographer of the 2009 film The Hangover, Sher described how a scene early in the movie shows the main characters on the roof of their hotel overlooking a stereotypical shot of the Las Vegas Strip; Sher indicated that he had tried to evoke the behind-the-scenes Vegas—after the characters wake up the following morning—by shooting a scene behind the hotels where the real action takes place. Actor Bradley Cooper credited Sher's visual style with enhancing the film's comedy, noting how Sher has "a great eye, a lot of energy and he just knows what's funny" and that "Some guys just can't shoot comedies, but Larry knows exactly what he's doing." With the success of Zach Braff's Kickstarter, Sher worked on Braff's 2014 feature, Wish I Was Here. In January 2020, Sher was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Cinematography for his work on the movie Joker, but lost to Roger Deakins for 1917.

Wiz RECOMMENDS The Secret Garden I know what you are thinking: what an odd film to suddenly decide to watch. The Secret Garden, Agnieszka Holland's 1993 adaptation of the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, is honestly a movie that has been forgotten despite that it's considered a great adaptation of a beloved novel and is shot by one of the best cinematographers of all-time: Roger Deakins. And by no surprise whatsoever, The Secret Garden is gorgeous. Everything in the movie has a magical feel to it, despite it being more grounded than whimsical. But a lot of the scenes, whether it's inside the manor or in the garden, it has an absolutely stunning look that elevates the story three-fold. But the film is not only just a looker, but it's also a thoughtfully artistic film. The film has balanced perfectly the sadder elements of the film with the more fantastical, which helps in not only being something that the audience it was meant for enjoying it, but adults as well. It's honestly very well done: even when the film gets dark dealing with death, illness and neglect, it has this feel that makes it seem more fairy tale than tragic drama. But I'll say this: if you are an adult just wanting to watch a movie, this isn't as in-depth as you'd like it. Again, the main audience is likely pre-teen and female who also likes nature (and melancholy, honestly), but there is just enough in the film for parents to get something out of it. It's actually quite surprising this movie doesn't get talked about more as a film that has aged so well: it's gorgeous with a smartly done story. Warner Bros. should release a Limited 4K UHD of this film: I'd snatch it in a second.

Welcome to Cyberpunk Cinema – the Definitive Dive into the Dark Future of Science Fiction. I am your host, Anthony La Pira, and I will be taking you on a cinematic journey through the sprawling cityscapes, the crippling datastorms, and the cybernetic implants that encompass all things Cyberpunk.In this week's episode, I will be breaking-down the 2017 legasequel cyberpunk modern masterpiece, Blade Runner 2049  – co-written by Hampton Fancher and Michael Green, based on the characters from “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” by Philip K. Dick, and directed by Denis Villeneuve, starring Harrison Ford, Ryan Gosling, Ana de Armas, Dave Bautista, Robin Wright, Sylvia Hoeks, and Jared Leto.Young Blade Runner K's discovery of a long-buried secret leads him to track down former Blade Runner Rick Deckard, who's been missing for thirty years.This film has only gotten better with every passing year. It is Denis Villeneuve's triumphant legacy-sequel to one of the greatest science fiction films of all-time. Everything rips in this film, from the compositions by Roger Deakins, to the score by Hans Zimmer, to the pacing orchestrated by Denis, to the sense of isolation and desolation that permeates throughout the film, and the question that haunts all replicants and humans alike – what does it mean to be human?  So, do me a favor – it's time to access your cranial jacks, boot up your Ono-Sendai Cyberspace 7, and slap on your damn mirror-shades.

This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, it's the penultimate episode of the monthly miniseries – BROTHERLY LOVE – where we are pitting some films from filmmaking brothers the Coen Brothers vs. the Farrelly Brothers. This month, we hit the road in the year 2000, with two films featuring people looking to clear their name. It's Joel & Ethan Coen's folk musical comedy O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? and Peter & Bobby Farrelly's dark comedy ME, MYSELF & IRENE. In O Brother, Where Art Thou?, George Clooney stars as Ulysses Everett McGill, a criminal who convinces two fellow convicts (Tim Blake Nelson and John Turturro) to break out of prison to seek treasure he left buried from a previous job. Turns out he really just wants to stop his wife (Holly Hunter) from getting remarried. Along their journey, they meet a young black musician who sold his soul to the devil, and cut a hit record together. They also meet a cyclops, sirens, and countless others in this unique adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey. With more brilliant cinematography from Roger Deakins, a tremendous soundtrack featuring loads of old folk, gospel, and bluegrass standards, and quality performances all around, this is another winner for Joel and Ethan Coen. Can they ever be stopped?The Farrelly Brothers can attempt to do so with their road comedy Me, Myself & Irene, starring Jim Carrey in his first film with the Farrelly's since Dumb and Dumber. Carrey, who was just coming off starring in back-to-back serious roles (The Truman Show and Man on the Moon) returned to the gross-out comedy as Charlie Baileygates, a Rhode Island state trooper who develops a split personality. Charlie must escort Irene (Renée Zellweger) to New York, where she is wanted for hit-and-run. The pair are then forced to go on the lam to avoid Irene's mafia-connected ex-boyfriend, whilst Charlie is also trying to suppress his new alter-ego, Hank. Some of this one holds up, but it is pretty much relying on a very wrongfully depicted mental illness – so take that for what you will. Is it enough to topple the sweet tunes of O Brother? We'll let you decide...Which brother will win Brotherly Love, and be crowned the best brother filmmaking duo of the 90s? Tune in to find out...If you enjoy the podcast, leave a Rating and Review!

In today's episode of the podcast, I chat with Dan Milnor, an acclaimed documentary photographer who shares transformative insights on creativity, industry challenges, and the true impact of social media on your work.The Big Ideas:Seek Inspiration, Not Imitation: Embrace the storytelling and influence behind another artist's work rather than copying style or gear.The Value of Authentic Engagement: Understand social media's shallow interactions and focus on building a genuine audience.Embracing a Multifaceted Identity: Delve into various creative outlets to enrich your photography and personal brand.Isolation for Innovation: Discover how stepping away from the crowd can enhance your unique voice and creativity.Photography Action Plan:Explore Outside Influences: Visit the websites of conceptual artists or photographers you admire at least a few times per year. Jot down what elements of their work inspire you the most. Incorporate what resonates with you into your photography, be it their storytelling approach or their thematic focus, to craft a richer narrative in your images.Prioritize Care with Equipment: Familiarize yourself with the functionalities of your current equipment, such as the exposure compensation dial, to enhance your shooting efficiency without the need to upgrade immediately. Engage in Long-Term Projects: Select a subject matter that sparks your curiosity and devote time to a long-term photographic project. This commitment often leads to deeper insights and more substantive work. Resist the industrial pressure to multitask on numerous short-term endeavors and instead focus on developing a solid body of work that reflects your dedication and skill. Rethink Social Media Engagement: Create a portfolio website showcasing your unique photographic work to establish a professional online presence that's independent of social media validation. Begin reducing your reliance on social media platforms by actively seeking genuine engagement with your audience through direct channels like newsletters or local exhibitions.Embrace a Multifaceted Approach to Photography: Invest time in developing additional skills that complement your photography, such as writing or video, which can enhance your storytelling capabilities and marketability.

Kelsi and Trey finish off their anti-war series and begin their Emily Blunt discussion with the very thrilling and politically complicated Denis Villeneuve's Sicario. This is a technical masterclass on several fronts; with an imposing performance from Benicio Del Toro, stunning photography from Roger Deakins, and a brutal soundtrack from the late-great Jóhann Jóhannsson. However, while Sicario is a cinematic powerhouse, this episode explores the movie's challenge of paralleling a military state with drug cartels and how the film may have a difficult legacy because of underdeveloped subversions.

This week, our Queensland/Victoria bloke Dave says g'day, cracks open some tinnies and Tim Tams, and takes us to the Melbourne Bojangles as seen in ‘Chopper', our featured conversation for our ‘Films of 2000' segment. We'll give you some context, we'll talk about where Eric Bana rose in Australian television before Hollywood saw this film and begged him to get shredded and work on American and British accents. Writer/Director Andrew Dominik (Blonde, Killing Them Softly, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford) lived with Mark “Chopper” Reade to prepare the script for filming, and holy cow. We also gripe about youth sports. Grab some Cutter beer and listen to our convo!

This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, it's the 3rd episode of the monthly miniseries – BROTHERLY LOVE – where we are pitting some films from filmmaking brothers the Coen Brothers vs. the Farrelly Brothers. This month, it's all about bowling! For some reason, both of these sets of brothers made bowling movies – and both of them performed pretty badly on release, only to become cult classics. So, we'll be talking about Joel & Ethan Coen's 1998 neo-noir comedy THE BIG LEBOWSKI, and Peter & Bobby Farrelly's 1996 sports comedy, KINGPIN. Which is the better bowling movie?In The Big Lebowski, Jeff Bridges shines in a career role as Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski in a tale of mistaken identity, deceitfulness, severed toes, nihilists, White Russians and lots of bowling. After his rug get soiled by a couple of guys looking for money from a millionaire with the same name, The Dude falls down a rabbit hole that feels straight out of a Raymond Chandler novel. This film is damn near perfect. It's funny, has a great story, stellar performances with a supporting cast boasting John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore and John Turturro, a kick ass soundtrack and some insanely good cinematography from Roger Deakins. The Dude Abides.But is it a better bowling movie than Kingpin? Woody Harrelson plays Roy Munson, a young bowler who is just about to make it big, before his rival, Ernie McCracken (Bill Murray doing Bill Murray shit) tricks him into doing con games, which results in Roy's bowling hand getting destroyed. Years later, Roy is an alcoholic with a hook for a hand and no prospects, before he stumbles upon Ishmael (Randy Quaid), a promising young Amish man that Roy attempts to take to the top of the bowling world. It's more of what you expect from the Farrelly's, with some gross out humour, fun 90s soundtracks, and some hit or miss elements. But, it's pretty much the Farrelly's most underrated, and potentially one of their better titles. And, it actually is more about bowling than The Big Lebowksi, it just may look as nice. I mean, Deakins, man...Which brother will win Brotherly Love, and be crowned the best brother filmmaking duo of the 90s? Tune in to find out...If you enjoy the podcast, leave a Rating and Review!

"And this guy peed on it." We wrap our mini series of looking at the iconic cinematographer, Roger Deakins, with the cult classic from 1998, "The Big Lebowski." In accordance with the tenets of his duderness, this episode is chill AF. We talk about how non-traditionally this flick reached cult status, and how John Goodman's Walter Sobchak is the MVP. Of course, we discuss the lived-in warmth this movie has visually, and how obviously that is thanks in part to Deakins' masterful handiwork. Stay tuned, because next month we're mixing things up a bit! We're bringing back co-host Ryan to discuss our first ever book-into-movie discussion, starting with "Marley & Me."

This week I'm honored to be joined by Dallas Film Commissioner Tony Armer to discuss what, precisely, a film commissioner does. On this episode he discusses his own path to getting involved in the film industry, breaks down different kinds of incentives cities and states use to woo productions, and talks about how Dallas has made itself more attractive to major productions looking for a place to shoot. We also talk a bit about Tony's podcast; do yourself a favor and check out the episode featuring a post-screening Q&A with cinematographer Roger Deakins, who was in town a few months back for a showing of Blade Runner 2049. And if you enjoyed this podcast, please share it with a friend!

"If you fail, it will be a massacre." The Uncultured Universe continues to look at the people who bring a film to life, with this month's focus being on the cinematographer synonymous with the profession: Roger Deakins. To kick off the series, we watched the 2019 war epic, "1917." The boys pore over the realities of war, the neurodivergent tendencies of reacting emotionally to powerful and sweeping scores and cinematic moments, and the sheer awesomeness that this limited-cut/seemingly one-take masterpiece accomplishes. And of course, massive gushing over how damn good this flick looks, of course thanks in part to Deakins himself. Be sure to stay tuned for our next episode, where we go in the complete opposite direction of war, and look at another Deakin's classic "The Big Lebowski."--We are Uncultured Universe - the podcast where two friends show each other movies, tv, music, or anything else to get a little more cultured.

"For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo."The Uncultured Universe wraps our February Baz Luhrmann series by talking about perhaps one of his most well known film, "William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet."The boys verily dive in to examine this strikingly beautiful film, that is both timeless and yet a perfect time capsule of the 90's. From Leo's perfectly mid-nineties shaggy long hair, to just how incredibly hot everyone is in this movie, no stone is left unturn'd. Also, never trust your fate to an experimental Friar or a delivery service.Stay tuned next month, where we take a look at the highly influential and accomplished cinematographer, Roger Deakins!--We are Uncultured Universe - the podcast where two friends show each other movies, tv, music, or anything else to get a little more cultured.

Kelsi and Trey discuss the informal universe of Ridley Scott and Denis Villeneuve's project of Blade Runner set in a postmodern society where a few humans play god, consumerism is religion, and all of the human condition has been reduced to constructs and commodities. A lot to explore thematically with class and gender, as well as stylistically with the scope and scale of Roger Deakins, and then the iconic Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford throwing punches while Sylvia Hoeks and Jared Leto stealing the show by the end!

We welcome another awesome new guest this week, another Glendoran, Trenton Hughes. We discuss globetrotter dreams, pb & j's and the Sorcerer's Stone, and a favorite movie snack first in Last Four, before diving into the dark underbelly of Sicario. We get into the realism of the film, our favorite characters, the dynamic duo of Denis Villanueve and Roger Deakins, and much more on this week's Log It! Hosted on Acast.

Fargo, eh? You're darn tootin'!   After the disappointing reception to their previous film, the Coen brothers decided to retreat into something much smaller in scope. And although they expected Fargo to have somewhat limited appeal, it would go on to become one of their biggest hits.  Topics include: the nebulous nature of the movie's claim that this is based on a true story, the lengths William H. Macy went to in order to secure his role, how Roger Deakins' cinematography reinforces the major themes of the story, the origins of the film's unusual but iconic score, pushback on the idea that this is in any way punching down at Minnesotans, the movie's unexpected success, the first attempt to turn it into a television series back in 1997, the more successful incarnation that began in 2013, and much more!   Facebook | Twitter | Instagram Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Google Play | Spotify Chris's Instagram & Twitter | Kristen's Instagram Chris & Kristen's Web Series: The Strange Case of Lucy Chandler

After some mini reviews, the boys got giddy talking about the film year 2013, which was a doozy- ‘Gravity', '12 Years a Slave', ‘The Wolf of Wall Street', to name a few. We chose to take a second look at Denis Villeneuve's ‘PRISONERS', starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal as committed as they'll ever be. We discussed how, with the help of Roger Deakins our podcast hero, this familiar genre looked and felt better and more visceral than the rest of the bunch. Also, Viola Davis crushed a supporting role (duh), Terrence Howard was heartfelt as a sub, Maria Bello brought life to the tricky in-bed-all-day grieving mother, and Paul Dano….. holy crap. Also, listen for our spoiler-free mini reviews of ‘ARGYLLE', ‘POOR THINGS', and ‘FERRARI'.  Find all of our Socials at: https://linktr.ee/theloveofcinema.
