Abschweifen? Geht auch mit CSB: Heute geht's um unterschätzte oder überbewerte Regisseure. Aber vorher müssen Alper, Marius, Jonas und Schröck über ALIEN: EARTH reden. Oder über YPS-Hefte. ALIEN darf dabei natürlich auch nicht fehlen, bevor sie bei GOD'S ARMY - DIE LETZTE SCHLACHT, den MEMOIREN EINER SCHNECKE, dem neuen DEATHSTALKER oder dem alten TANZ DER TEUFEL landen. Und über die eine oder Abschweifung geht's dann endlich um Quentin Tarantino oder Quentin Dupieux, um INGLORIOUS BASTERS oder DEATH PROOF, um EINE FLIEGE KOMMT SELTEN ALLEIN oder SMOKING CAUSES COUGHING, um Ron Howard und EDEN, um REBEL RIDGE und Jeremy Saulnier, um die Schwierigkeit einen wirklich schlechten Film zu machen oder um unser Studio. Sobald sich alle wieder gefangen haben, sind dann auch noch BO BURNHAM und EIGHTH GRADE oder Oz Perkins und LONGLEGS ein Thema, bevor es noch mit Menschen wie Kiah Roach Turner, Joachim Trier (oder war es doch Thomas Vinterberg?), Walter Hill, Craig S. Zahler oder Paul Schrader weitergeht und schließlich bei Filmen wie WYRMWOOD, DRAGGED ACROSS CONCRETE, BONE TOMAHAWK, DER GROSSE GATSBY, LIMBO oder GOLDENEYE, THE FOREIGNER und DIE MASKE DES ZORRO endet. Kurz gesagt: es war einfach ein herrlicher Plausch über eins der schönsten Themen der Welt. Bei diesem wünschen wir Euch nun viel Spaß wie ein mindestens genauso schönes Wochenende. Bleibt gesund und gut drauf, schaut gerne bei den Jungs von CINEMA STRIKES BACK vorbei und genießt die restlichen freien Tage. Bis bald. Rocket Beans wird unterstützt von fritz-kola.

Tread Perilously concludes the Summer Grab Bag with the third episode of Cop Rock -- "Happy Mudder's Day." Hollander continues his pursuit of LaRusso -- now centering in on Potts and offering him immunity if he testifies against his partner. The mayor receives some difficult news from her image consultants and goes under the knife to initiate a bid for the Senate. Rose hits a breaking point with Gaines as a domestic call turns into one of the stranger musical numbers either has witnessed. Vicki, Ruskin, and Campo take a back seat as guest characters and the chief of police take point in this week's songs. Is it a sign of things to come? Erik and Justin try to figure out the mystery of Paul McCrane's sudden presence on the show. The mayor's storyline comes under scrutiny as actor Barbara Bosson was married to creator Steven Bochco at the time. Justin comes to believe The Shield creator Shawn Ryan watched Cop Rock. Comparisons abound. Guest characters leading the songs seems to prove the premise was already running out of steam. Erik determines Ron Howard's best films. Vondie Curtis-Hall once again proves dependable and the lack of proper area knowledge around the production becomes more and more obvious.

We tread heavily in the music and feelings of the past. How could you not, considering the present and the future? "Where were you in '62?" is the mantra of the film and soundtrack to the film we're reveling in this week. American Graffiti went from a small time labor of love for George Lucas to a worldwide phenomena, helping to propel an obsession with 50's and early 60's culture throughout the 1970s. They weren't all Happy Days, but this music is timeless. Paul & Elizabeth Eisen, aka my beloved parents, are back to help us finish up our countdown of the best songs from the American Graffiti Soundtrack aka the best rock n roll, doo wop and pop music from 1957-1962.

Director Gareth Edwards is the fifth director to venture into the realm of Jurassic Park doing so in the 7th installment of the franchise. We've got a review of JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH plus trailers from new films from Edgar Wright and Ron Howard. Recommendation from our hosts in this episode - Sinners Footcandle Film Festival
Where were you in '62? The magical nostalgic world of the film American Graffiti seems about as close to heaven as one could get. A long night of adventure on the town, with all the cars and all the fun, but especially all of the incredible music. The Great Wolfman Jack provided the soundtrack to that magical world, spinning the best rock n roll, soul, doo wop and pop songs from the years 1957-1962, and lucky us, we get to enjoy it over and over again with the amazing soundtrack. Speaking personally, from the age of about 2-8 I heard this great soundtrack about 200 times, thanks to my folks having it in their record collection, and me insisting they play it over and over again. Lucky me, my parents Elizabeth and Paul Eisen were in LA on vacation and we figured it would be a great time to talk American Graffiti. Here in Top Ten Songs From The American Graffiti Soundtrack Part 1, we unveil picks 10-6 and have a great time looking back.

Executing a well-timed oner is hard. Building a whole show around long, continuous takes? That's another level. This week on Below the Line, Skid is joined by First Assistant Director Donald Murphy and Camera Operator Mark Goellnicht to go behind the scenes of The Studio, the Apple TV+ comedy that blends big laughs with an ambitious visual style. Directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the show follows the fictional chaos of Continental Studios — and brings that chaos to life through long takes, handheld choreography, and camera work that pulls the audience into the scene. Topics include: Shooting single-camera, continuous-take scenes for nearly every episode How the “oner” for Episode 2 was planned, rehearsed, and executed with an eye towards golden hour Building camera choreography around comedy timing and live dialogue Collaborating with actors and stand-ins on complex blocking Stitching shots using natural movement, practical transitions, and VFX Pulling off production in real-world locations like the Las Vegas strip and the Golden Globes Utilizing crew members as additional “background” for added realism Managing on-set tone and morale with Seth Rogen's laid-back leadership Donald and Mark also reflect on how The Studio pulled off its most ambitious sequences — from passing a camera mid-shot between operators to filming in working casinos with minimal control. And yes, they name names: Martin Scorsese, Sarah Polley, Zac Efron, and Ron Howard all make appearances (on set and in the story).

POP ART says FAMILY PLOTS: Yes, believe it or not, the latest episode of Pop Art, the podcast where we find the pop culture in art and the art in pop culture, is now up. I can't believe it myself, and yet…it's true. Get ready for Episode 123. “All happy families are happy in the same way; all unhappy families are unhappy in their own way.” Let's see if that rapscallion Leo Tolstoy is correct. This time around I am joined by the most enthusiastic Andy Goulding of Blueprint Review as we discussed Ron Howard's Parenthood and Wes Anderson's The Royal Tenenbaums. As a side note, I could use a lot more followers and reviews. So, give a guy a break and rhapsodize poetic while talking about how much you love what I have to say. Andy and I especially had a great discussion on comparing the modernist approach of Howard and the post-modern/metamodern approach of Anderson; what films reflected our family life growing up; the racial aspects and attitude toward women in both; and many other discussions. It was a great time.

“The closer you are to death, the more alive you feel.” Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting duo – Ian & Liam – as we rev the engines, grip the wheel, and go full throttle into our 284th episode with a look at Ron Howard's high-octane drama Rush (2013). We're trading poisoned apples for podium finishes as we dive into one of Formula 1's greatest real-life rivalries: What is it about films that explore the pursuit of greatness that gets our hearts racing every time? We break down why stories with duelling personalities—like Hunt and Lauda—are so compelling, especially when each sees themselves reflected in the other. What elements of the true story were changed, streamlined, or dialled up to eleven for cinematic effect? Ian and Liam try to figure out which one of them is the reckless playboy and which is the meticulous technician… and it gets uncomfortable quickly. We talk about the power of respect over friendship, the blurred lines between envy and admiration, and why this film might be Ron Howard's unsung masterpiece. Whether Rush is the Best Film Ever—or just one hell of a ride worth taking. Become a Patron of this podcast and support the BFE at https://www.patreon.com/BFE.

When Barbara Walters joined ABC news in 1976, she became the highest paid journalist in the U.S. – pulling in $1 million a year. That, not surprisingly, triggered a lot of resentment among her peers, none more so than her evening news co-anchor Harry Reasoner. Overcoming envy and sexism and balancing a career and motherhood, Walters reached the pinnacle of her profession and stayed there, a story explored in the new documentary Barbara Walters: Tell Me Everything. The film directed by Jackie Jesko premieres Thursday evening at Tribeca Festival in New York. The feature, which debuts on Hulu later this month, is the latest from Imagine Documentaries, the enormously successful nonfiction division of the production company founded by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer. On the latest edition of Deadline's Doc Talk podcast, we explore the company's upcoming docs and impressive slate of Emmy contenders with Imagine Entertainment President Justin Wilkes and Imagine Documentaries President Sara Bernstein. Taking their cue from the Barbara Walters documentary subtitle – Tell Me Everything – Wilkes and Bernstein tell us everything: why Imagine got into documentaries, how the Barbara Walters project came about, how they work with estates and other stakeholders on celebrity biographies without surrendering editorial independence, and what they see as the future of branded content in the nonfiction and fiction spaces. Imagine Documentaries won five Emmys last year for its film Jim Henson Idea Man, directed by Ron Howard. While the Television Academy has proven receptive to honoring documentaries about well-known people, the documentary branch of the Motion Picture Academy has demonstrated reluctance to do likewise. Wilkes shares his unvarnished thoughts about how the Academy could change voting rules to give celebrity-oriented documentaries a fair shake. The Imagine execs also respond to a recent article in the Hollywood trade papers asserting that music and other celebrity films are “killing the documentary.” They don't see it that way. That's on the latest edition of the Doc Talk podcast, hosted by Oscar winner John Ridley (12 Years a Slave, Shirley) and Matt Carey, Deadline's documentary editor. The pod is a production of Deadline and Ridley's Nō Studios. Listen to the episode above or on major podcast platforms including Spotify, iHeart and Apple. Learn more about your ad choices.

It's corkers and Blarney Stones as NostalgiaCast takes a transatlantic trip back in time to discuss Ron Howard's FAR AND AWAY, starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Jonny and Darin kick off their 1992 retrospective by welcoming Ruth and Rae of the Paperback Flicks podcast to chat about the history of Irish immigrants and the American frontier, along with the sweeping panoramic vistas, overblown Oir-ish accents, and megawatt star chemistry that made this period romantic drama a minor classic.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with legendary director and film producer Ron Howard to learn more about his involvement in the Amazon Prime series Earnhardt, as well as a deep dive into Ron's storied career. After finding stardom as a child actor on the Andy Griffith Show and becoming an icon as part of the famed Happy Days series, Ron made the decision to move behind the camera and began a sterling career as a director and producer. Dale Jr. was curious about Ron's process of picking a project to work on, which Ron explains can be different every time but relies a lot on his gut feeling. Ron says that the Earnhardt story checked many boxes of great storytelling as it was relatable and had larger-than-life characters that faced challenges.Ron recalls moving into projects that dealt with real-life events, which began when he took on Apollo 13. Although he originally felt that historical subjects might limit creativity, he found telling the stories in a film setting to be liberating, and it helped him step into the documentary world. The guys also chat about the films that surprised Ron with how they were received, and what he feels his greatest accomplishments in his career have been so far. Ron talks about the process of getting nominated for Best Director and how technology has evolved filmmaking and the art of storytelling on screen. Dale also inquires about Ron's decision to leave acting and move into the world of directing, likening it to a race driver's decision to retire from behind the wheel.

It's the same handle for all three... @80smontagepod.Anna Keizer and Derek Dehanke are the co-hosts of ‘80s Movie Montage.

Anna is a writer who received her B.A. in Film/Video from Columbia College Chicago and M.A. in Film Studies from Chapman University. Her dark comedy short She Had It Coming was an Official Selection of 25 film festivals with several awards won for it among them. Derek is an attorney who also likes movies.

Mark and Nicole talked to the Chaotically Fascinating Burlesque performer, MUA, model and tarot reader Kira VonSutra on the latest Dark Mark Show Kira talked about how haunted Tulsa, Oklahoma was growing up, leading to spirits pulling her off the top bunk of her bunk bed, how she was able to follow her dreams of being a makeup artist to Hollywood leading to her eating lasagna with Danny DeVito at his home, being creeped on by Chevy Chase and making up Dan Aykroyd for a Saturday Night Live sketch directed by Ron Howard, and how she became one of the top burlesque dancers in the Hollywood Scene, despite being a bit of an outsider and having a predilection for having her pasties fall off mid performance. She talks about her fascination with the occult, how she astral projected in a friend's dream, which led to her starting to read tarot cards, the eternal appeal of Bettie Page, her punk rock and rockabilly past, what it is like being married to a metal musician, being “gender chaotic” and how she has video of her face changing during a very intense burlesque performance and so much more!

Neither would be successful without the other! They go into business - to electrify Dodge muscle cars - that provide the sounds to fool the customer into thinking they're listening to a V8 while they're just hearing an electric motor spin. Did we mention this movie came out in 2011? In between the car drama, Kevin James wife is cheating on him (and he's doing a few shameful things too). Vince Vaughn is stuck in the dilemma of trying to protect his best friend while dealing with the doubt of others from his past as a gambling addict. The end result is that we get an entirely movie of hilarity and HEMI powered classic Dodges - just for fun! This movie has "real" other actors too! Winona Rider, Jennifer Connately, Channing Tatum, and Queen Latifah round out the ensemble. Even more impressive, the director was a big name too; Ron Howard! I'm telling you, in 2011 someone at Dodge saw this movie and just copied the whole thing. 14 years later, it's a realty. The new 2025 Charger is electric and has a speaker system of V8 sounds. Even better, we get a bro movie between Vince Vaughn and Kevin James. The only thing that would make it better is if it were Paul Blart Mall Cop 3! Movie Rating: 10 Corndogs! ======================================== Welcome to the High Performance Expo!
