Podcast appearances and mentions of Roman Polanski

Jaume Segalés y su equipo hablan de Corazón de oro y de Un dios salvaje. Hoy en Km0, tras repasar la actualidad informativa y deportiva, profundizamos en los siguientes asuntos: "Un Dios Salvaje" Célebre obra de la dramaturga francesa Yasmina Reza que fue estrenada en 2006 y que Roman Polanski llevó al cine en 2011. Ahora podemos disfrutar de esta trepidante comedia negra en el Teatro Alcázar (c/ Alcalá, 20), que está celebrando este año su centenario, hasta junio de 2026. Tamzin Townsend dirige al elenco conformado por Luis Merlo, Natalia Millán, Juanan Lumbreras y Clara Sanchís, que dan vida a los dos matrimonios que se reúnen, en la casa de uno de ellos, para hablar de un incidente entre sus hijos. Uno de los niños, de nueve años, ha golpeado al de la otra pareja en el parque. Todo empieza de manera cordial, excusándose y alegando que ambos son niños. La tolerancia y la comprensión aflora entre los padres de las criaturas, pero a medida que avanza la conversación, la actitud va cambiando y cada uno va tomando partido por su hijo. El civismo se pierde y da paso a un enfrentamiento verbal en defensa de sus respectivos vástagos que deriva en un todos contra todos, incluso dentro de las parejas. Es el momento en el que emerge, en cada uno de los personajes, ese Dios Salvaje que se revela contra la insatisfacción en sus vidas. Entrevistamos a Clara Sanchís. "Corazón de oro" Hoy nos vamos hasta el salvaje oeste norteamericano. Un western que enmarca una historia de amistad, de amor y, sobre todo, de bondad. ¿Qué papel tuvieron los españoles en la conquista del lejano oeste? Editado por Planeta, "Corazón de oro" es la nueva novela de Luz Gabás, a quien entrevistamos. Vuelve con este nuevo libro después de que ganara el Premio Plantea en 2022con "Lejos de Lusiana".

 *NEW!* On this episodes annotated deep dive, The Cultists present Roman Polanski's The Ninth Gate (1999).  A slow and cozy burn of paranoia through warm-lit and dusty streets, The Ninth Gate tells that classic tale of a bored and bitter book dealing mercenary who happens upon an ancient esoteric puzzle concealed in the pages of the text — a one shot, all-consuming mystery that many a mad man has tried to solve for centuries — but that Johnny Depp's Robert/Dean/Lucas Corso might happen to solve instead through sheer divine apathy. (Albeit with a heavy green-eyed stalker assist). Curiously based on only half of Arturo Pérez-Reverte's novel, The Dumas Club, (and on the B plot of the novel at that), Polanski's adaptation transforms Reverte's postmodern parable about the dangers of of looking too closely at a text, into a modernist love letter to the practice of… looking too closely at a text.  Topics Include: Comparisons to The Dumas Club and the details from the novel that help shape the more esoteric parts of the film; the book market value of all those old tomes; the abstract tradition of Grimoires; the occult golden age of Prague; fallen angels, The Grigori , and other lesser diablos; the paradox of making a modernist film out of a postmodern source, and a (somewhat brief) history of the devil, or how satan(s) became Satan. Episode Safeword: Salvation

*The definitive and bestselling account of Charles Manson* 'A sprawling, fast-paced account of Manson's life' The Times ' Fascinating' Daily Mail __________ Los Angeles, California. 1969.

As the world watched in morbid fascination, the sensational and horrifying details of the case slowly emerged. Coming Down Fast is the definitive and most revealing account of one of the most notorious criminals in history, charting Manson's terrifying rise from petty-criminal to one of the most recognisable icons in criminal history.

When it originally was released, it couldn't find an American distributor (and likewise was shunned by streaming services), a consequence of the MeToo moment meeting Polanski's criminal past—in 1978 he fled to Europe after being indicted for the rape of a 13 year-old girl in the United States. Polanski's past is particularly relevant for his film about the falsely accused Jewish officer in the French military, to whom, in publicity materials circulated when An Officer and a Spy came out in Europe in 2019, the director explicitly compared himself.Of course, we couldn't possibly have had on any other guest than John Ganz to help us understand the politics of the Dreyfus affair, both in 1895 and 2025, and what to make of Polanski's cinematic rendering of it. Topics include: Polanski's life and crimes; Hannah Arendt's treatment of the Dreyfus affair in The Origins of Totalitarianism; anti-semitism in 19th and early 20th century France; the way Polanski largely ignores the political convulsions caused by the Dreyfus affair, instead handling it more as a crime procedural, and why he might have done so; and more.Sources:John Ganz, "Reading, Watching," Unpopular Front, Aug 10, 2025— "Gramscians vs Sorelians," Unpopular Front, Jan 23, 2021— "The Third Republic and Today," Unpopular Front, Jan 27, 2021— "The Century of Rubbish," Unpopular Front, Feb 2, 2021— "From Republic to Reaction," Unpopular Front, Feb 4, 2021David Bell, "An Officer and a Spy," H-France, March 2021Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951)

Phil and Emily continue their mini series on Oscar-winning Best Director follow-ups from the 2000s with Oliver Twist (2005), Roman Polanski's adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic. They're joined by writer and producer Bryan Cogman, who may be one of the few people to have actually seen the film in theaters.The conversation dives into Polanski's unexpected choice to follow The Pianist with this family-oriented Dickens adaptation, why it feels strangely muted compared to both the director's darker films and other Dickens adaptations, and how Ben Kingsley's nuanced turn as Fagin stands out amidst an otherwise flat production. Together, they unpack Dickens' enduring influence, the many Oliver Twist adaptations across history, and how this version fits into Polanski's complicated legacy and the cinematic landscape of 2005.If you want more deep-dive discussions, exclusive mini series, and bonus content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/PodcastLikeIts.

De tweede aflevering van het vijfde seizoen van Cinepraatjes, de podcast van Cinemaatjes. Oftewel de nazomerse schoonmaak. We hadden problemen met onze 400ste review vanwege copyright claims, maar hebben dat goed gemaakt op onze Patreon-pagina. William kreeg naar aanleiding van deze review ook een berichtje van een oude vriend uit Zuid-Korea, die dus blijkbaar een Koreaanse website heeft met allemaal oude VHS-banden. JP heeft een nieuwtje over de New Kids die met een nieuwe film komen, we zagen beiden de trailer van ‘Sisu: Road to Revenge' en JP weet te melden dat de makers van ‘Cobra Kai' aan een ‘Knightrider' film werken. Marino heeft weer een fantastisch sonnet voor ons. JP keek ‘Career Opportunities' uit 1991 met Jennifer Connelly en William took one for the team en keek het pareltje ‘War of the Worlds' uit 2025 met Ice Cube. We trokken ‘Rosemary's Baby' van Roman Polanski uit de kast. In de Special bespreken we weer een willekeurig filmjaar en die keer het jaar 2011 en we beantwoorden ook vragen van luisteraars over o.a. franchises, hoe we een filmfestival zouden inrichten, studiomaatschappij introfilmpjes, movie tropes en onze eigen horror-porno's.

Is the convicted sex criminal Roman Polanski worth defending? Particularly in the context of “An Officer and a Spy”, his vaguely autobiographical 2019 movie about the Dreyfus case, the first Polanski film in a decade to be shown in the United States. Writing in Liberties Quarterly, Charles Taylor answers yes, intelligently making the case that we should concentrate on evaluating Polanski's art rather than his crimes. But I wonder about the wisdom of Polanski making a film about, of all things, the Dreyfus Affair - the celebrated 19th century French case of the persecution of an innocent Jewish military officer. Taylor's Liberties piece is entitled “Polanski's Nation of Pain” in reference to the manifold tragedies of the filmmaker's life. But there's also the unimaginable pain Roman Polanski has inflicted on any number of innocent women and girls. No, I don't think I'll be paying to see “An Officer and a Spy”. Not even if it's a good movie. 1. The Separation Dilemma Can we truly separate art from artist? Taylor argues yes - judging work solely on artistic merit regardless of the creator's character. But this becomes harder when the artist may be using their platform to craft narratives about innocence and persecution.2. Subject Matter Matters Polanski's choice to make a film about the Dreyfus Affair - a famous case of false accusation and the persecution of an innocent man - feels particularly tone-deaf given his own history of victimizing others. The "what" an artist chooses to explore can't be divorced from the "who" is exploring it.3. Cultural Gatekeeping vs. Access There's tension between those who believe controversial artists' work should still be available to audiences (let people decide for themselves) and those who argue that some crimes should disqualify someone from cultural participation and profit.4. The Victim's Paradox Even Samantha Geimer, Polanski's victim, has spoken against his continued prosecution - yet this doesn't resolve the broader question of accountability. Individual forgiveness doesn't necessarily translate to cultural rehabilitation.5. Economic Ethics Beyond just artistic judgment lies the question of financial support. You can acknowledge artistic skill while refusing to economically reward it - choosing not to pay for tickets becomes a form of moral statement separate from aesthetic evaluation.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

One of the fascinating ironies about Los Angeles is that it is often movies in heightened genres like noir that best capture what the city really feels like to those born and raised in it (like this podcaster). Movies like Billy Wilder's acidic Hollywood takedown classic Sunset Boulevard and Roman Polanski's & Robert Towne's 70's new cinema classic Chinatown show sides of the city with a denizen's inside baseball knowledge. But there's also a neorealist strain in the films of John Cassavettes, Charles Burnett, and others that shows Los Angeles from a working class and middle class ground level. The way we actually live our life here. And finally, oddly, 60's and 70's B movies like 1977's totally couldn't be made today "The Van" show LA as it is because the moviemakers couldn't afford a budget to dress it up. They just shot what they could and captured LA without any soft lighting or makeup.  Join Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill (a 4th generation Los Angelino) as we discuss some of the known and underground gems that shine a real light on the city we who live here love.

La muerte del guionista y director Robert Towne coincidió con el 50º aniversario del estreno de “Chinatown” (1974) de Roman Polanski, el film que le hizo alcanzar la cima como escritor. Fue un homenaje que el nuevo Hollywood le brindó al cine negro, uno de los géneros que brillaron durante la era dorada, revitalizándolo al darle un enfoque más moderno y complejo. “Chinatown” consagró a Jack Nicholson como una gran estrella y confirmó a Faye Dunaway como una de las actrices más importantes de la década de los setenta. Fue una de esas películas que se rodaron entre trincheras, con el set siendo lo más parecido a un campo de batalla, pero el resultado final no solamente está por encima de los conflictos sino que no entenderíamos el cine policíaco y político posterior sin su existencia.

1920's German expressionist The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari did more than inspire a whole kind of cinema-it also became the great-grandparent of a genre. The mind-bending dive into the psyche genre that saw three of its greatest examples all influence each other: Ingmar Bergman's 1966 Persona which begat in many ways Robert Altman's 1977 3 Women. And all those movies consciously or unconsciously begat David Lynch's 2001 masterpiece Mulholland Drive. Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill takes a look at the journey of inspiration of all these movies as well as side trips to other great examples of the genre like David Fincher's Fight Club, Roman Polanski's Repulsion, and Darren Aronovsky's Black Swan.

I dette afsnit tager vi et kig bag Hollywoods glitrende facade og ser, hvordan Manson-familien er dybt involveret i en større historie om magt og manipulation. Forsvaret hævder, at Manson-familien ikke er ansvarlig for mordene – de er ofre for Manson, der med LSD og hypnose har kontrolleret deres sind. Vi hører også om, hvordan Manson bruger psykedeliske stoffer til at nedbryde og genopbygge sine følgeres personligheder, hvilket giver ham total kontrol over dem. Retssagen afslører desuden de foruroligende metoder, han bruger til at manipulere sine tilhængere. Samtidig dykker vi ned i filminstruktøren Roman Polanskis kontroversielle rolle i historien og ser, hvordan Manson og hans familie ikke blot er et produkt af LSD, men et skræmmende eksempel på, hvordan magt kan forvandle mennesker til mordere.

Roman Polanski becomes the new Press Secretary for a day.

I denne serie dykker vi ned i historien om en af verdens mest berømte seriemordere nogensinde. Navnet er Charles Manson, og i denne serie skal vi høre om hans liv og hvordan han bliver leder af den berygtede Manson-familie. Historien begynder med de uhyggelige mord den 8. august 1969 i Roman Polanski og Sharon Tates hjem. Her får vi et indblik i gerningsmændenes baggrund og deres vej ind i en verden af vold og død, styret af deres leder Charles Manson. I denne første episode forsøger jeg også at skildre den historiske ramme omkring slutningen af 1960'erne, hvor drabene bliver et symbol på afslutningen af hippiebevægelsen – og hvordan hele sagen får omfattende konsekvenser for det amerikanske samfund. Tag med på rejsen ind i sindet på en af de mest notoriske forbrydere i verdenshistorien, og hvad hans gerninger har haft af betydning for det samfund, vi lever i i dag

Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America by Ann Coulter. French Revolution chapter 6 All of Ann Coulter's Books are a must have on every Conservatives' bookshelf. Buy them Today... All of them!   The demon is a mob, and the mob is demonic. The Democratic Party activates mobs, depends on mobs, coddles mobs, publicizes and celebrates mobs—it is the mob. Sweeping in its scope and relentless in its argument, Demonic explains the peculiarities of liberals as standard groupthink behavior. To understand mobs is to understand liberals.   In her most provocative book to date, Ann Coulter argues that liberals exhibit all the psychological characteristics of a mob, for instance:   Liberal Groupthink: “The same mob mentality that leads otherwise law-abiding people to hurl rocks at cops also leads otherwise intelligent people to refuse to believe anything they haven't heard on NPR.” Liberal Schemes: “No matter how mad the plan is—Fraternité, the ‘New Soviet Man,' the Master Race, the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, Building a New Society, ObamaCare—a mob will believe it.” Liberal Enemies: “Instead of ‘counterrevolutionaries,' liberals' opponents are called ‘haters,' ‘those who seek to divide us,' ‘tea baggers,' and ‘right-wing hate groups.' Meanwhile, conservatives call liberals ‘liberals'—and that makes them testy.” Liberal Justice: “In the world of the liberal, as in the world of Robespierre, there are no crimes, only criminals.” Liberal Violence: “If Charles Manson's followers hadn't killed Roman Polanski's wife, Sharon Tate, Clinton would have pardoned him, too, and he'd probably be teaching at Northwestern University.”   Citing the father of mob psychology, Gustave Le Bon, Coulter catalogs the Left's mob behaviors: the creation of messiahs, the fear of scientific innovation, the mythmaking, the preference for images over words, the lack of morals, and the casual embrace of contradictory ideas. Coulter traces the history of the liberal mob to the French Revolution and Robespierre's revolutionaries (delineating a clear distinction from America's founding fathers), who simply proclaimed that they were exercising the “general will” before slaughtering their fellow citizens “for the good of mankind.” Similarly, as Coulter demonstrates, liberal mobs, from student radicals to white-trash racists to anti-war and pro-ObamaCare fanatics today, have consistently used violence to implement their idea of the “general will.” This is not the American tradition; it is the tradition of Stalin, of Hitler, of the guillotine—and the tradition of the American Left. As the heirs of the French Revolution, Democrats have a history that consists of pandering to mobs, time and again, while Republicans, heirs to the American Revolution, have regularly stood for peaceable order. Hoping to muddy this horrifying truth, liberals slanderously accuse conservatives of their own crimes—assassination plots, conspiracy theorizing, political violence, embrace of the Ku Klux Klan. Coulter shows that the truth is the opposite: Political violence—mob violence—is always a Democratic affair. Surveying two centuries of mob movements, Coulter demonstrates that the mob is always destructive. And yet, she argues, beginning with the civil rights movement in the sixties, Americans have lost their natural, inherited aversion to mobs. Indeed, most Americans have no idea what they are even dealing with.             Only by recognizing the mobs and their demonic nature can America begin to defend itself.

Il y a quelques années, Adèle Haenel a pris la parole pour dénoncer les violences sexuelles qu'elle a subies de la part du réalisateur Christophe Ruggia alors qu'elle était adolescente. En 2020, lors de la cérémonie des César, elle quitte la salle en criant "La honte!" lorsque le prix du meilleur réalisateur a été attribué à Roman Polanski, accusé de viol. « On se lève et on se casse ! », un geste qui a marqué les esprits. Le mouvement a créé une nouvelle vague de féminisme moderne, qui touche notamment l'intimité et la sexualité. Ainsi, certains comportements ne sont plus acceptés socialement, et notre façon de faire l'amour et d'y consentir a changé. Comment notre façon de faire l'amour a-t-elle changé ? Pourquoi ?

Wes & Erin continue their discussion of Roman Polanski's 1968 classic, and why it is that Satanic evil, when confronted with life's very frightening realities—including pregnancy itself—turns out to be so banal.

On the surface, “Rosemary's Baby” is a horror film about a woman who gets taken advantage of by a satanic cult and impregnated by the Devil. In the end, it seems to be a satire on the competing entrapments of domesticity and ambition, and the boring conventionality of people who hope that opposition to convention will allow them to retrieve their lost youth. Wes & Erin discuss Roman Polanski's 1968 classic, and why it is that Satanic evil, when confronted with life's very frightening realities—including pregnancy itself—turns out to be so banal.

Send us a textDo you remember Rosemary's Baby? The ultra controversial movie of the 60s. It might not be so controversial now but that doesn't mean we're not excited about watching it. Starring In a role that sky rocketed Mia Farrow to stardom it also had a slew of 60s powerhouse character actors. We admit we do not remember a lot about this movie other than Lady has sex with Satan, Lady gets pregnant, has baby and the world is worse off because of it. So join us as we go back to the 1960s and watch Rosemary's Baby.Do You Remember Liking This Movie?

Mama Cass' role as Hollywood's hippie den mother pulled her into the orbit of troubling company during the “Summer of Love.” The former singer of The Mamas and the Papas thrived in Laurel Canyon's social circles, which included her close friend Sharon Tate and Sharon's husband, filmmaker Roman Polanski. But Cass' alleged involvement in some of the long rumored-hedonistic events put her at the center of a counter-narrative that explosively disrupts the supposed motive for the Manson family murders. Decades later, there's plenty to debunk about the final years of Mama Cass' life— including a silly, fat-shaming myth surrounding her death that has persisted for nearly 50 years. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including domestic violence and graphic descriptions of violence and sexual assault.

Sharon Tate's entanglement with Charles Manson and her husband, filmmaker Roman Polanski, as well as her involvement in some of the long-rumored hedonistic events at her home on Cielo Drive put her at the center of a counter-narrative that explosively disrupts the supposed motive for the Manson family murders. Was Sharon Tate blissfully ignorant of the darkness that had been bubbling beneath Hollywood's shiny veneer for years? Or is there more to this story than we've been told in the past? This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including sexual assault.

Sharon Tate was a sophisticated beauty who literally stopped traffic when she walked down the street. She began her movie career when America was becoming sexually liberated, and despite the ease with which she was made a sex symbol, she aspired to be respected as a serious actress. Decades later, however, she is perhaps best-remembered as one of the victims found brutally murdered at her Cielo Drive home, the one she shared with her husband, director Roman Polanski. Sharon and Roman welcomed regular guests to that home, including Sharon's friend, Mama Cass Elliot, who was at the center of the Manson murders and whose actions may be why the motive for the murders that America has come to accept as fact is actually false. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including sexual assault and suicide.

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! This week, we're paging through the murky corridors of mystery, rare books, and Satanic secrets with Roman Polanski's atmospheric thriller The Ninth Gate (1999). Adapted from Arturo Pérez-Reverte's novel The Club Dumas, the film stars Johnny Depp as Dean Corso, a rare book dealer whose latest assignment drags him deep into a web of occult intrigue.Setting the Scene: Leather Bindings and Hidden SymbolsDean Corso is a sleazy but skilled rare book expert hired by the wealthy and enigmatic Boris Balkan (Frank Langella) to authenticate one of the few remaining copies of The Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows, a 17th-century tome said to summon the Devil himself. Balkan believes only one of the copies is genuine, and he tasks Corso with traveling across Europe to examine all three. As Corso delves deeper, people connected to the books start turning up dead, and he finds himself pursued by cultists, a mysterious woman with supernatural abilities (Emmanuelle Seigner), and his own growing paranoia.Part noir detective story, part supernatural thriller, The Ninth Gate moves at a deliberately slow pace, building dread and unease through long shadows, whispered dialogue, and a creeping sense of danger. The mystery surrounding the book's origin and the authenticity of its illustrations becomes Corso's obsession. Each encounter along his journey offers new clues—or misdirections—about the book's true purpose, and whether the devil himself is guiding Corso's path.The film culminates in a quiet but unsettling resolution that subverts expectations. It's less about explosive revelations and more about slow, unnerving transformation, with Corso's character gradually shifting from skeptic to something far more… initiated.At its core, The Ninth Gate explores the timeless Faustian dilemma—how far one will go in pursuit of forbidden knowledge. Corso is less driven by belief than by greed and curiosity, but his journey reveals how seductive and consuming power can be. The book becomes a mirror reflecting the soul of each seeker, with deadly results for those who aren't worthy—or perhaps not wicked enough.Not one for younger viewers, this is a slow-burn adult thriller with a strong sense of place and purpose. The Ninth Gate rewards patience and attention, especially for fans of mysteries, the occult, or anyone who's ever gotten lost in a bookshop and wondered what might be lurking in the rarest of volumes.So light a candle, pour a brandy, and dust off your first edition—because The Ninth Gate invites you into a world where stories hold secrets and books just might bite back.
