Von Weihnachts-Stress, Horror-Hypes und einer Gesellschaft am Abgrund Von festlicher Vorfreude über Serien-Diskussionen bis hin zu einem Film, der die Jungs komplett spaltet! Nach einem kleinen Plausch über den nahenden Weihnachtsstress und Zeljkos neu entdeckter Liebe zu Weihnachtsfolgen (dank Ted Lasso!), starten die Jungs in eine Folge voller filmischer Eindrücke. Zuerst geht es um die koreanische Miniserie Spiel des Todes (Death's Game). Zeljko ist von dem wilden Genre-Mix begeistert, der ihn bis zum Schluss gefesselt hat. Timo fand den ständigen Sprung zwischen Action, RomCom und ernstem Drama aber eher störend und nicht ganz rund. Danach sprechen sie über den Horrorfilm HIM, eine Produktion von Jordan Peeles Firma Monkeypaw. Zeljko ist froh, den Film gesehen zu haben, während Timo ihn zwar visuell bombastisch fand, die Story an sich aber als extrem dünn und fast nicht vorhanden empfand – für ihn eher ein 90-minütiges Musikvideo. Der Film der Woche ist diesmal Ari Asters neuester Streich: Eddington. Und hier gehen die Meinungen massiv auseinander! Zeljko war von den ersten beiden Stunden des Films gelangweilt und fühlte sich nicht abgeholt. Erst das eskalierende Finale konnte ihn packen. Timo hingegen war von Anfang an gefesselt. Er feierte die subtile Inszenierung, den langsamen Spannungsaufbau und die Art, wie Aster die gesellschaftliche Spaltung der Corona-Zeit aufgreift. Für ihn war es ein fesselnder Neo-Western, auch wenn er zugibt, dass der Film etwas überladen ist. Einig sind sich beide aber: Das Schauspiel von Joaquin Phoenix und Pedro Pascal ist herausragend. Eine Folge, die von leichter Serien-Unterhaltung über einen gehypten Horrorfilm bis zu einem anspruchsvollen Arthouse-Western reicht – wie immer mit viel Leidenschaft, Humor und sehr unterschiedlichen Perspektiven. Also, Ohren auf und ab in die Welt von "Once Upon A Time In Cinema - Der Filmpodcast" – jeden Donnerstag um 18:00 Uhr, überall wo es Podcasts gibt! Inhalt:(00:00) Intro (6:30) Ted Lasso (14:20) Death's Game / Spiel des Todes (32:10) HIM (40:30) Eddington ____ Der Film-Podcast mit Zeljko und Timo Anfragen: ouatic@gmx.de https://letterboxd.com/OuaticPodcast https://instagram.com/onceuponatimeincinema_

Op 16 december is het 250 jaar geleden dat Jane Austen werd geboren. De zes romans die ze heeft nagelaten worden nog steeds gelezen, herlezen, verfilmd, en voor het toneel bewerkt. Ze is een van de weinige vrouwen die in de literaire canon is opgenomen. Wat is de aantrekkingskracht van haar oeuvre? Pride and Prejudice, vertaald als Trots en vooroordeel (we bespreken de vertaling door Jeske van der Velden en Elke Meiborg), is uitgegroeid een van de grote standaardwerken uit de Engelse literatuur. Het verhaal gaat over Elizabeth Bennet, een intelligente en pittige jongedame die graag zelf wil kiezen met wie ze trouwt. Wanneer ze door haar moeder wordt gekoppeld aan de rijke, maar hooghartige Mr Darcy, heeft ze haar oordeel over hem snel klaar. Ze worden toch verliefd, maar zijn allebei te trots om zich aan de ander te willen binden. Wanneer er andere huwelijkskandidaten voor Elizabeth opduiken is de vraag dan ook: wie wordt uiteindelijk de gelukkige? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Die Zürcher DIY-Crew ist zurück mit dem zweiten Album – und die Parolen fühlen sich noch gepfefferter an wie seinerseits auf dem Debüt vor drei Jahren: Warum steigen unsere Mieten ständig??? Wie lächerlich ist der – leider gar nicht mal so metaphorische – «Boys Club»??? Zusammen mit Gianna Brühwiler und Sandra Keller klären wir, ob die weniger metaphorischen, dafür umso griffigeren Texte echt, oder nur ein falscher Eindruck in den Sounds!-Ohren sind. Ausserdem besprechen wir im Interview, ob man als kleine Band auf Spotify verzichten kann oder nicht – und welche falschen (und toxischen!) Vorstellungen von Liebe man durch Filme und Serien vermittelt bekommt.

On today's episode, we welcome the dynamic duo, Lily Yasuda and Michael Wolfe, two inspiring filmmakers who have decided to take the road less traveled by creating their own feature film, Like Love. Their journey is one of collaboration, determination, and creativity—filled with moments of laughter and the occasional unexpected hurdle.From the outset, you'll sense the chemistry between Lily and Michael. They first crossed paths during their time at Chapman University, bonding over vulnerable and humorous writing assignments in a creative writing class. Their shared passion for storytelling sparked not only a friendship but also a creative partnership. This partnership culminated in the idea for Like Love, a project born out of their desire to challenge traditional romantic comedy tropes.“We wanted to tell a story that feels real and honest,” Lily shares, “about friendships and the complexities of human connection.”At its heart, Like Love is what they call an “anti-romantic comedy.” Drawing inspiration from classics like When Harry Met Sally, Lily and Michael aim to flip the script on the genre. Instead of perpetuating the myth that friendship between men and women inevitably leads to romance, their film explores the beauty of platonic relationships. As Michael explains, “It's about two friends trying to fall in love and realizing they're better off as friends. That's the kind of story we don't see enough.”Their filmmaking journey hasn't been without its challenges. Crowdfunding has been a pivotal part of bringing Like Love to life. Lily and Michael describe the process as “a full-time job in itself,” requiring not only meticulous planning but also a willingness to be vulnerable and open about their creative vision. They've leaned heavily on their network for support, finding generosity in unexpected places.“The community in Boise has been incredible,” says Lily. “People here are so supportive, offering locations, resources, and even homemade meals for the crew.”Despite the logistical hurdles, their passion for storytelling shines through. Michael, the film's director, admits that directing a micro-budget feature comes with unique pressures. “We're all wearing multiple hats,” he notes, “but it's an amazing experience to work so closely with a team that believes in the project.” Lily, who also stars as the film's lead, balances her roles as actor, writer, and producer with grace, emphasizing the importance of collaboration in every aspect of the project.As they reflect on their experiences, one thing becomes clear: Like Love is more than just a film; it's a testament to the power of community and perseverance. Lily and Michael hope their story inspires other aspiring filmmakers to take the leap. “Making a movie isn't easy,” Lily acknowledges, “but if you're passionate about your story, you'll find a way to make it happen.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

In Episode 287, Asim, Amrita, and Sujoy dive into two very different cinematic worlds — the mythic mayhem of Kantara Chapter 1 and the glossy chaos of Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. Sujoy kicks things off with his review of Kantara Chapter 1 — a prequel that expands the folklore of Rishab Shetty's breakout hit. Expect talk of Mad Max set pieces, colonial undertones, and whether the film's ambition pays off or just gets lost in the jungle fog. Then, the team dives deep into Dharma territory with Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. What went wrong with this “Humptyverse” rom-com? From Jhanvi Kapoor's dancing to Varun Dhawan's “Salman energy,” influencer cameos, baffling product placements, and the mysterious economics of modern rom-coms — no one is safe. Also discussed: feminism that never makes it past the trailer, why nobody has chemistry with Jhanvi Kapoor, and how Bollywood somehow spent ₹180 crores on a movie set in one hotel. Show Notes:

Reid Holly Noel Brigham is thrilled about her boyfriend's upcoming visit to Bavarian Falls. What could go wrong? Navigating a long-distance relationship is no picnic. Work demands, a wildfire, and insecurities threaten Holly's and Nik's summer plans and future goals. What was supposed to be a season of carefree dates and tender kisses is complicated by unexpected loss, a surprise visitor, and the pressure of the Christmas in July Festival. In an effort to strengthen their relationship, Holly and Nik decide to ask each other twenty questions... What do you dream about? What makes you cry? What are you second-guessing? What makes you angry? Why do you love me? The questions eerily parallel reality, causing a roller coaster of emotions and a high-elevation argument. Is Holly's and Nik's relationship strong enough to endure some twists and turns or is this the end of the road? Learn more about Katie on her WEBSITE and follow  her on GoodReads and BookBub.

Malin Åkerman is living proof that life only gets better with age. The star of The Hunting Wives joins us to spill on how the role of Margo Banks landed in her lap during a career standstill—and why it’s become one of her all-time favorites. From the freedom of playing a deliciously complex character to the instant chemistry she found with Brittany Snow, Malin takes us behind the scenes of her latest project while opening up about her own evolution. She gets candid about breaking free from people-pleasing, leading with “no,” and trusting her gut. Rooted in her Swedish upbringing and decades of experience, Malin shows us what it means to know yourself and step fully into your prime.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matthew and Riki dissect Netflix's You and how it exposes toxic rom-com masculinity. Joe Goldberg thinks he's the romantic hero, but his obsession with being the male protagonist leads to stalking, manipulation, and murder.How does You deconstruct rom-com mythology? The show reveals what happens when someone believes they're destined to "win" the girl through grand gestures and persistence, regardless of her actual feelings.Why do classic romantic comedies teach problematic lessons? From Say Anything to When Harry Met Sally..., 80s/90s rom-coms normalized stalking behaviors as romantic devotion.Does Joe's unreliable narration work as social commentary? We debate whether the show successfully critiques toxic masculinity or risks creating viewers who sympathize with his "romantic" motivations.Other topics: Serial killer vs. murderer definitions, the symbolism of Joe's book preservation room, Penn Badgley's performance balancing sympathy with horror, the way Joe constructs a dream version of his girlfriend in his mind, instead of seeing the real person she is, and comparisons to other problematic protagonists like Joker. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.
