Podcast appearances and mentions of romeo juliet

Few filmmakers have a style as bold, romantic and unmistakable as Baz Luhrmann. From his breakout debut Strictly Ballroom to the glittering spectacle of The Great Gatsby starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and the fever-dream energy of Elvis, Luhrmann has built a career on transforming familiar stories into cinematic events. In this episode, he takes us inside one of his most iconic creative decisions: the unforgettable fish tank scene in his 1996 adaptation of Romeo + Juliet - and reveals how that moment came to life. We also explore his latest project, EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, a return to Elvis Presley through newly uncovered footage from the legendary Las Vegas residency. Beyond the films, Luhrmann reflects on the journey that shaped him. Raised in Herons Creek, a tiny rural town in New South Wales, Australia, he grew up surrounded by performance and storytelling: his father ran a quirky petrol station and cinema, while his mother owned a dress shop and taught ballroom dancing. We discuss the setbacks that tested him, his unconventional audition process, his enduring creative partnership with his wife and the viral TikTok moment that sent the internet into a frenzy. I hope you enjoy this candid, wide-ranging conversation with one of modern cinema's great showmen. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 02:28 Creativity as Self‑Medication 05:52 Why Elvis? 09:22 The Romeo + Juliet Fish Tank Origin Story 11:01 Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen: The Accidental Hit 13:56 Failure #1: Losing Instincts, Depression and Finding the Way Back 26:16 Casting Without Auditions: Baz's Workshop Method 27:58 Creating a Fear-Free Room 28:47 The Big Break That Became a Public Flop 30:56 Rebounding with Strictly Ballroom 32:19 Choosing Collaborators 33:36 Marriage and Deep Trust 35:42 Criticism and Staying Humble (Plus the Viral TikTok Moment) 40:38 Future-Focused Filmmaking & Final Reflections

Emerald Fennell's new Wuthering Heights is full of stylistic provocations — skin walls, bed eggs, and light BDSM among them — but whether they are in service of, or distractions from, a bigger idea about the source material is up for debate this week. The divided reactions to Fennell's contemporized take on an oft-adapted classic are reminiscent of the love-it-or-hate it response that greeted Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet back in 1996, which we bring back in for Connections to examine the core romantic notions driving these two tales of doomed (and frequently soaking wet) love and/or lust. And in Your Next Picture Show we continue the Wuthering Heights adaptation discussion with a couple of recommendations that illustrate some of the different tonal directions this material can take. Please share your thoughts about Romeo + Juliet, Wuthering Heights, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

With its bold stylization, pop soundtrack, and provocative sensibility, Emerald Fennell's new Wuthering Heights appeals to a contemporary audience so openly it can't help but call to mind Baz Luhrmann's 1996 adaptation of another literary classic about doomed lovers, William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet. Fennell citing it as a reference point for her film prompted us to revisit what made Lurhmann's approach so enticing and/or annoying at the time, and consider how its maximalist mix of reverence and irreverence toward the source material — not to mention an ascendant Leonardo DiCaprio in peak heartthrob mode — has turned it into a generation's formative Romeo and Juliet.  Please share your thoughts about William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet, Wuthering Heights, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

"She's a ten to me and that's the part that matters." — Paul EastwickIf it's Valentine's Day, we must be talking about love. Paul Eastwick studies attraction and relationships at UC Davis, and his new book Bonded by Evolution takes aim at the "old science" that treated romance like a competitive market where everyone gets assigned a number. The incels, of course, ran with that research to compound their paranoia about the other sex. Eastwick says they got it wrong—and so, with the exception of Paul Eastwick, did most academics.When two people look at the same photograph and make a hot-or-not judgment, Eastwick explains, they only agree about 65% of the time. After they've known the person for months, agreement drops to barely better than a coin flip. So there isn't any universal hierarchy of desirability. What's real is that some people will think you're an 8 and others will think you're a 3—and that quirky disagreement explains most of what happens in the science of attraction. The problem is that dating apps make everything feel like they're in a market, thereby filtering out the "slow burn" people who need time to grow on you. Eastwick's advice, therefore, is forget swiping, reboot your social networks, throw candle lit dinner parties where nobody knows each other. It's more democratic, it takes longer, and it actually works. Happy V day everyone.About the GuestPaul Eastwick is Professor of Psychology at UC Davis, where he studies attraction and close relationships. He is the author of Bonded by Evolution: The New Science of Love and Connection (2026) and co-host of the podcast Love Factually with Eli Finkel.ReferencesConcepts discussed:●      The mating market hypothesis treats attraction like an economic exchange where people are assigned desirability values and seek partners at their "level"—an idea Eastwick argues is far more limited than academics have assumed.●      Limerence is the academic term for the intense, obsessive early stage of romantic attraction—what we might call infatuation or passion.●      The Dunbar number (~150) represents the cognitive limit on stable social relationships—roughly the size of hunter-gatherer groups where our mating psychology evolved.●      Pair bonding emerged in human evolution about two million years ago as brain size increased and children required longer periods of intensive parental investment.●      Attachment theory describes the deep bonds that form when we trust someone to have our back, celebrate our successes, and support us through difficulty.Evolution and mating:●      Human males became smaller relative to females and lost their sharp canines as women selected for men who were safe around babies—"the evolved male is the good caregiver and good dad."●      Unlike gorillas with their harem-style mating, humans shifted toward pair bonding because helpless infants with expanding brains needed investment from both parents.●      Polyamory research shows that people can form genuine attachment bonds with multiple partners—trust, wellbeing, and attachment levels match or exceed monogamous couples.Also mentioned:●      Eli Finkel is Eastwick's co-host on the Love Factually podcast and author of The All-or-Nothing Marriage.●      When Harry Met Sally (1989) depicts "one of the most beautiful friendships on screen," according to Eastwick, and holds up well on the friends-to-lovers pathway.●      Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet (1996) was the subject of a recent Love Factually episode—"that MTV style of filmmaking" with Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio.●      The incel and manosphere communities have taken 1990s attraction research and "run with it in some strange and unjustified ways."About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States—hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic. With nearly 2,800 episodes since the show launched on TechCrunch in 2010, Keen On America is the most prolific intellectual interview show in the history of podcasting.WebsiteSubstackYouTubeApple PodcastsSpotify

Sam Raimi's new survival thriller Send Help is more overtly comedic and cartoonishly violent than the other film in this week's pairing of dueling castaway duos, but those qualities are both rooted in complimentary ideas about class, gender, and power. They're also both rooted in a baseline cynicism toward humanity that informs a lot of Raimi's work, as well as our discussion of Send Help, for which we are once again joined by cultural critic and friend of the show Charles Bramesco. Then in Connections we bring 1974's Swept Away back into the discussion to see how its sexual fantasy aligns with Send Help's revenge fantasy, and how both are shaped by these films' desert (or is it deserted?) island setting. Please share your thoughts about Swept Away, Send Help, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

From Malibu's Most Wanted to Most Hung?The banter begins with Jamie Kennedy's legendary TV and film career—but quickly shifts to the elephant on the internet. Yes, THAT photo. Is it real? We get the truth straight from Jamie himself. (Spoiler: blurry or not, it's all him.)From Scream to The Jamie Kennedy ExperimentThe boys celebrate Jamie's cultural moments and roast the younger generation for confusing him with James Kennedy from Vanderpump Rules. According to one producer, Jamie had even “died in a hot tub.” Jamie takes it in stride: “I'm alive, bitches.” Playboy Mansion Secrets & Trunk Sneak-InsJamie shares wild-but-wholesome nights at the Playboy Mansion—rubbing shoulders with Carmen Electra and Anna Nicole Smith, and partying with Too Short on the mic. Meanwhile, Pol' confesses to sneaking in via a car trunk. They may have even crossed paths at one of those parties… destiny? The coffee thinks so. Coffee Reading Gets Real: “Who's Whispering in Your Ear?”Pol' delivers a powerful coffee cup reading that stops Jamie in his tracks, diving into:· Emotional stagnancy· Life-changing decisions· The blurred line between Jamie the person and the persona· And if he should finally put a ring on girlfriend Elyssa's fingerIt's insightful, eerie, and so accurate it gives Jamie chills. “You're 100% right,” he admits. “I have to be all of me. Always.” Hollywood Then & NowJamie opens up about the early days—from being an extra in Dead Poets Society, to Romeo + Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio, to the breakout success of Scream. He recalls working with Steve Martin and Ellen DeGeneres and reflects on how much the industry has changed. Verdict? Social media fame ≠ movie star. He's rooting for passion over followers. Red Carpet Scams & Designer TeaPol' drops a bombshell: a major actress demanded six figures just to wear one of his gowns to the Oscars—even though his designs have graced winners like Karen Tolliver (Hair Love). Jamie's jaw drops. “She made $20 million and wants you to pay her?!” As always, Pol' and Patrik bring fashion realness with a side of shade. Hot Topics & Flirty Chaos· Zoe Kravitz & Harry Styles: Cute or confusing? Pol' says let them live.· Jamie's 20-year age gap with Elyssa: He defends it with honesty and humor. (Also, she's not in 12th grade. Relax.)· OnlyFans culture: Jamie calls out society's weird double standards—and if he'd ever post a pickle shot. Snow BooBoo Is Coming…Pol' & Patrik tease their adorable new doll line: Snow BooBoo from Snow White 90210. Jamie's sold. Pre-orders are open, and this booboo's ready to slay. Final ThoughtsBetween the jokes, raunch, and Hollywood chaos, this episode shows a man at a crossroads—balancing fame, love, legacy, and authenticity. Whether you're a longtime Jamie Kennedy fan or just meeting him, Undressed reminds you that real connection always beats public perception. Don't miss Part 2—coming soon! More revelations, more glam, and more Jamie Kennedy.

**REPOST** On this week's annotated deep dive, The Cultists present Baz Lurman's 90s frenetic teen angst extravaganza, Romeo + Juliet (1996).  Known for his kinetic color-fueled explosions of images and sound, Lurman's “red curtain trilogy” put him on the film world's map as an Auteur with a distinct and immediately recognizable style. Bright, brash, and unforgiving to anyone who prefers a more minimal Mise-en-scène, Lurman's penchant for decadence was ripe for a world of high octane emotions, brawls, masquerades, and the lush arc of an epic demise. However, Lurman's vision of bringing the dusty pages of the oft produced Shakespearean play into the hearts and minds of the notoriously apathetic 90s teenage market was a rather unprecedented and hard sell for commercial studios at the time. Particularly when Lurman insisted that not only would he win over a teen audience, he would do it all without altering a single syllable of the original Shakespearean language of the play. And he would use a cast of mostly young people to do it. Lurman's vision succeeded and the decade to follow would be one stuffed with Shakespearean adaptations for teens, and yet, ‘R+J' remains distinct among them all. A burning strange indefinable star, that shall not be defied. Deep dives include: The film's production history, editing and cinematography; the lineage of Romeo and Juliet literature that lead to Shakespeare's 1596 adaptation of the tale; the 1996 film's comparisons with the exactly 400 years older play; the historical roots of the warring Guelph vs. Ghibelline factionalism that led to such constant civil brawls; how amazing it is that Romeo spends a full third of the play desperately and despondently in love with someone else; why the developing teenage mind lacks impulse control; and why even Dante personally hated the Montagues and Capulets enough to write them into his levels of Hell two centuries before Shakespeare was even born. Episode Safe Word(s): “impulse control” (REPOSTED Episode from 2023 that traveled over from the old Anchor platform with a broken link).

From pre-med at Columbia to a Tony nomination on Broadway, Gabby Beans has carved out one of the most unique journeys in the industry. She shares how she navigated early setbacks (including being dropped by her first big manager) to build her career from the ground up with fearless off-Broadway work. That perseverance has more than paid off: Gabby earned a Tony Award nomination for her Broadway debut in The Skin of Our Teeth. Most recently, she's stunned audiences on Broadway in Sam Gold's Romeo + Juliet, taking on the dual roles of Mercutio and Friar Lawrence. On screen, Gabby's credits are just as impressive—House of Cards, Succession, Blue Bloods, The Good Fight, and her recent breakout in Apple TV+'s Presumed Innocent alongside Jake Gyllenhaal, Ruth Negga, and Bill Camp. Gabby opens up about the highs and lows of her journey, why she loves Zoom chemistry reads, and the wisdom she's gained from working with some of the industry's most visionary directors. This episode proves that in a career where “nothing ever happens the way you think it will,” passion and persistence truly light the way.

Capping off ETR's “Summer Blockbuster Month,” we've got a man who has some experience in that department - Leonardo DiCaprio. After gaining traction with his performance in 1996's “Romeo + Juliet,” Leo stars in one of the most blockbustery blockbusters off all time - “Titanic.” It makes him a bonafide movie star, solidifies his heart throb status, and turns him into the hottest young actor in town. And tabloids can't get enough of which supermodel is on the arm of Hollywood's perennial bachelor. Leo has managed to do the near impossible in Tinseltown. He's retained his A-list, movie star status for decades now, all while keeping his private life...well, private. Not bad for a kid who got his start on “Growing Pains.”You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.

  Season 9, Episode 11 (Originally Released on July 23rd, 2025) Welcome back to the Shame List Picture Show! On this episode, Michael is joined by a very special guest: Jason Hillman. Jason is a photographer, writer, comedian, and longtime friend of the show who's stepping back into the guest chair to knock a big title off Michael's shame list. Today, we're diving into Baz Luhrmann's bold, stylish, and divisive 1996 adaptation of Romeo + Juliet. From Leonardo DiCaprio's brooding charm to Claire Danes' heartfelt delivery and, of course, the machine guns labeled "Sword", this is Shakespeare like you've never seen it before. Join Michael and Jason as they unpack the film's kinetic energy, modern aesthetics, and emotional highs (and lows), and debate whether this reimagining still holds up or drowns in its own ambition. Light a candle, cue the Radiohead, and enjoy this star-crossed episode.

On this episode of the Shame List Picture Show, Michael is joined by Jason Hillman to discuss Romeo + Juliet. The post Shame List Picture Show S9E11 — Romeo + Juliet (1996) feat. Jason Hillman appeared first on Cinepunx.

The BTS team discusses Baz Luhrmann's style and whether it adds or detracts from the narrative, the choice to use Shakespeare's original dialogue, and why we want a Mercutio and Tybalt spin-off.Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/iJBb62bI-SkBig Swing Summer Schedule: https://www.patreon.com/posts/131204547

If you've ever wondered why 90s kids are SO dramatic about their love lives, you can put the blame on Baz Luhrmann's ROMEO + JULIET. The overblown modernization of Willy Shakes' teeny-bopper romance was a big hit with audiences and critics, with a fresh Tomatometer score of 74% - so that means Alex & Julio will take it down a few notches.

You either get on Shakespeare's wavelength or you don't. But maybe an extreme approach to The Bard's stories can help? It's likely Baz Luhrmann's ROMEO + JULIET converted many romantics into fans of the play - even if they might not have stuck around for any other Shakespeare pieces.

Arriving in the Southwest as a teenager, he threw himself into the arts, pursuing a dubious future in music. He entered the Music Department at Stony Brook University and refused to leave until they gave him a PhD and a job. Now he works at the Staller Center where he ‘watches films for a living' while residing minutes away with his more-talented wife and children. Paul Newland has been working in the entertainment industry for close to 40 years with the last 26 at Staller Center for the Arts.  Paul is the only member of the team with an IMDB credit for his groundbreaking work as "Mailman" in the 1997 indie feature "Playing with Mr. Greely" which screened at the Stony Brook Film Festival. Paul's IMDB page Alan Inkles is the longtime director of the Staller Center for the Arts at Stony Brook University, a role he has held since 1995. His journey to this position began after a knee injury performing Romeo in Romeo & Juliet off Broadway led him to Stony Brook University, where he took a part-time job at the Fine Arts Center, which eventually led to a full-time position and, later, the directorship. He earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in theater arts from Stony Brook University.

Join Greg Alba & Tara Erickson as they return to Isla Sorna in Steven Spielberg's thrilling 1997 sequel The Lost World: Jurassic Park. When a massive T. rex is discovered roaming the Isla Nublar ruins, billionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough, Gandhi, Miracle on 34th Street) dispatches a team to document the surviving dinosaurs. Chaos theorist Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum, The Fly, Independence Day)—still haunted by the first park's disaster—leads the expedition alongside wildlife biologist Dr. Sarah Harding (Julianne Moore, Boogie Nights, Still Alice). Rounding out the group are wildlife photographer Nick Van Owen (Vince Vaughn, Wedding Crashers, Dodgeball) and paleontologist Dr. Richard Levine (Peter Stormare, Fargo, Prison Break), who clash over preserving versus exploiting the island's prehistoric inhabitants. Back in San Diego, Hammond's grandson Tim Murphy (Camilla Belle, 10,000 BC) and his friend Alicia “Kelly” Curtis (Vanessa Lee Chester, Soul Food) unwittingly become pawns in an illicit dino-smuggling scheme orchestrated by mercenary Roland Tembo (Pete Postlethwaite, Inception, Romeo + Juliet)—whose bounty on a live T. rex sets off a chain of high-stakes confrontations. Highlights include the jaw-dropping T. rex cliff rescue, the heart-stopping San Diego freeway rampage by rampaging brachiosaurs, and the tense jungle standoff with a pack of velociraptors. Don't miss our breakdown of every dinosaur roar, breathtaking set piece, and the emotional reunion between Malcolm and Hammond that underscores Spielberg's signature blend of awe and suspense.

An episode that's Much Ado About Autism!Here's what's in store for today's episode: * Today, Matt and Angela welcome special guest and Shakespeare expert Dr. Sonya Freeman Loftis to explore how the Bard's works connect with autistic culture.* Sonya shares how she began studying Shakespeare through a disability lens and explores how some of his characters embody neurodivergent traits.* We discuss how the Globe Theatre is highly accommodating of disabilities and how Shakespeare's works are often featured in “relaxed performances” or autism-friendly showings.* Additionally, we explore the existence of Shakespeare therapy and how his works bring comfort in settings ranging from prisons to assisted living facilities.* Because of its complex language, Shakespeare's work requires a lot of bottom-up processing—something that comes naturally to us autistic folks.* We also talk about how Hamlet's deep melancholy and introspection can easily be understood through a neurodivergent lens.* "To be or not to be" is honestly the most famous autistic inertia quote of all time.* Our hosts and Sonya also dive into the character of Coriolanus, exploring how his lack of social interest and strong sense of justice make him an inherently autistic character.* Tragic heroes often embody neurodivergent experiences—whether it's Macbeth, King Lear, Othello, or Hamlet, each character reflects traits that resonate with the neurodivergent journey.* We discuss the ableism faced by Othello due to his epilepsy and how his character highlights the broader theme of otherness in Shakespeare's works—showing that understanding Shakespeare means understanding the experience of being viewed as different.* The emotional intensity of Shakespeare's plays can be deeply cathartic for the autistic reader, offering a powerful release through the raw, unfiltered emotions of his characters.* In Shakespeare's works, due to the time period, neurodivergent traits are often used for comic relief or are punished in some way, reflecting the societal attitudes of his era towards difference.* It's hard to say whether Shakespeare himself was autistic, as little is known about him biographically, but it's fascinating to see the ways disabled people have claimed his work and found resonance in his characters and themes.* However, Shakespeare could have been neurodivergent simply due to the sheer volume of writing he produced and the vast amount of knowledge he seemed to hold, which could suggest a unique cognitive perspective.* Shakespeare's work continues to be adapted and reclaimed to this day—like Baz Luhrmann's iconic Romeo + Juliet—as well as through neurodivergent Shakespeare meetups, where his plays are reinterpreted and embraced by new audiences.* Finally, we discuss the non-reciprocal, autistic language in Hamlet and how Shakespearean theater often breaks away from the rules and conventions of neurotypical performances, making it easier for neurodivergent audiences to have their needs met.“As a person with a disability, I felt frustrated sometimes when I would go to Shakespeare conferences and find that most of the focus was only on characters. And I thought, ‘okay, but what about the real people with disabilities who read Shakespeare and perform in Shakespeare plays and go to Shakespeare theaters?' And, you know, why isn't anyone writing anything about them?” - Dr. Sonya Freeman Loftis“One of the things that makes [Shakespeare] autistic culture representative is that because it is not in vernacular English, you have to bottom-up process. You need a dramaturg. You have to break down every single thing.” - Angela“Growing up as an autistic person, I never understood all of the conversation around me. I could understand some of it, but I never understood all of it. Neurotypical people use so many words and there was so much conversation. And I feel like that acceptance of not understanding it all has helped me to be a better reader of Shakespeare.” - Dr. Sonya Freeman Loftis“Average people throughout history did not make history. The average person lived and died largely forgotten living an average life. If you do something that is divergent, like making a whole bunch of plays that live on for centuries after your death, that is indicative of neurodivergence. Average people live average lives. And if you want to be outstanding, you got to be standing out.” - MattDid you enjoy this episode? All the world's a stage, but Shakespeare's works might just be the most autistic of them all. We dive into the deeply neurodivergent themes, characters, and language that make the Bard's plays resonate with the autistic experience.

Connor and Dylan are joined by Tony Award nominee Gabby Beans (Romeo + Juliet, The Skin of Our Teeth). If the end is right it justifies… the Gabby Beans of course! Listen in as this fiercely talented star of Romeo + Juliet on Broadway sat down with the twins for a little DRAMA. Gabby opens up about playing the dual roles of Mercutio and the Friar in this Sam Gold-helmed revival. She raves about the leading players of Rachel Zegler and Kit Connor, and teases the cast rap battles happening before the audience's very eyes onstage. Gabby reflects on her high school days in Germany, pursuing Neuroscience AND Theatre while at Columbia, and growing up as an army brat. She brings us back to her Tony-nominated turn in The Skin of Our Teeth at Lincoln Center, and the experience of being nominated alongside extraordinary women in her category. Trust, we chat about Jake Gyl, “Presumed Innocent,” and her aptly-named bob in the Apple TV+ series. How does this Shakespearean star spend her off days? What shows are on rotation for Gabby?

Sam Gold has directed five Shakespeare tragedies, but his latest, “Romeo + Juliet,” is something different—a loud, clubby production designed to attract audiences the age of its protagonists. “It's as if the teens from ‘Euphoria' decided that they had to do Shakespeare,” Vinson Cunningham said, “and this is what they came up with.” The production stars Rachel Zegler, who starred in Steven Spielberg's remake of “West Side Story,” and Kit Connor, of the Gen Z Netflix hit “Heartstopper,” and features music by Jack Antonoff. Gold, who cut his teeth doing experimental theatre with the venerable downtown company the Wooster Group, bristles at the view that his production is unfaithful to the original. “A lot of people falsely sort of label me as a deconstructionist or something, because they're wearing street clothes,” he tells Cunningham. “I'm not deconstructing these plays. I'm doing the play. . . . I think it's a gross misunderstanding of the difference between conventions and authentic engagement in a text.” Gold aspires to excite kids to get off their phones. “We are in a mental-health crisis [of] teen suicide. I'm doing a play about teen suicide, and all those young people are coming. And I think we can help them.”
