Episode 47 - Classic Recommendation: Swingers (1996)Can we tell you something? “You are so money and you don't even know it!”Let us take you back to 1996, when Jon Favreau (Chef, The Mandalorian, Iron Man), Vince Vaughn (Wedding Crashers, The Lost World), and Doug Liman (Edge of Tomorrow, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, The Bourne Identity) arrived on the film scene with this gem of a movie.This one has something for everyone to love — from Vince Vaughn's magnetic energy to Jon Favreau's pitch-perfect comedy as he navigates the real sadness of getting over a breakup. We meet a group of friends (who could easily be you and your own buddies) just trying to make it in Los Angeles. This classic flick delivers the perfect mix of laughs and sincerity — and it's way ahead of its time in how self-aware it is.Swingers helped catapult its creators into the spotlight and brought new attention to indie filmmaking. Favreau wrote the sharp and heartfelt script (his screenwriting debut!). There's even a moment when the filmmakers ask Steven Spielberg for permission to use the Jaws theme — not only did he say yes, he loved the movie so much he cast Vaughn in The Lost World.With a runtime of just over 90 minutes, this movie keeps a smile on your face the whole way through. It's also technically impressive — shot in just 18 days! Look out for excellent supporting turns from rising stars Heather Graham and Ron Livingston (who delivers several truly memorable and relatable scenes). Swingers was both a critical and commercial success, pulling in $4.6 million at the global box office on a $250,000 budget. It's a reminder of a time when indie films had a strong allure. We debate whether that time has passed for good, or if word-of-mouth can still help indie films and fresh talent break through.There's no doubt you'll be laughing, reminiscing about time with your own friends, and just enjoying the ride of this goofy, heartfelt indie. Swingers is currently streaming on Paramount+ and Hoopla, and is also available to rent or buy on all major platforms.Enjoy the movie, hit up the comments with your thoughts, and as always, thanks for listening!

Mike and Bill are back again and starting off the New Year right, with the same old stuff. Same guys, same podcast, different calendar. Mike started off with his reading and it was based on The Serenity Prayer. A simple prayer and a simple message. Acceptance is what it is all about and we had a nice conversation. Then we chatted about the first step, "good" years and "bad" years, a listener comment (vagina vitamins), what if, staying positive, Van Halen and Van Hagar, being of service, spotting the winners and Ron Livingston. We even talked a bit about Monica Lewinsky. Enjoy the episode. Visit us Podcast www.sobernotmature.com Store www.sobernotmatureshop.com

Zero and Wiz DO NOT RECOMMEND The Conjuring If The Conjuring has made me think of one thing after watching, it's the use of the term "Based on a true story" when it comes to describing a film. For this to really work with that, you would need to have definitive proof that the events in this film actually happened. That means everything from the demon that possesses the mother to the visions to the ghosts that were throwing the kids across the house. And if you are skeptical about the whole ghosts and demons thing (like Wiz is), having that could actually make the film much more scary and unsettling. But even when Andrea Perron, one of the daughters from the family that was supposedly "haunted", even says that the events in the film didn't necessarily happen, you are left with a feeling of being hoodwinked by the film makers. But honestly, if you have seen enough movies, seeing the words "Based on a true story" doesn't mean that everything in the film happened in the way it says: filmmakers take dramatic and artistic creativity in creating it's story. But even keeping that in mind, The Conjuring is painfully boring. Both the heroes of the film, Ed and Lorraine Warren played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, are both bland and wooden. The family, led by Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor, aren't really that captivating either with their personalities sanded down to a nice descriptor of "loving family". Even if you consider the scares, which are little more than cheesy jump scare sequences using camera movement and sound, they are more annoying than they are scary. Only two things about this film kept me interested: the sound design is actually pretty well done with how they implement the directional sound and the focus on wind and creaking wood. The other is the use of ghost photography and "evidence collecting". Basing an entire film on this aspect might actually be interesting to watch, but I don't think even having this would save this film from what it really is. And what is The Conjuring? A cheap, shallow bore of a film that relies on two things from the viewers to enjoy: unquestionable belief that what has happened is real and enjoying jump scares above all else.

You might not have seen this, but Stephen loves it. A 1996 Independent film written by Jon Favreau who also stars in the movie alongside Vince Vaughn. There's also Ron Livingston and Heather Graham. A low budget look inside the life of someone looking to make it in Hollywood. Find it on Fetch and get it going on your Hisense TV and watch for the First time with Trev, or enjoy again with Stephen.
There's a lot of pop culture in the September 1990 issue that will need revision sooner or later. Like: a report on the cancellation of 21 Jump Street, just weeks before its revival in syndication. And: making James Marshall One To Watch off the strength of one season of Twin Peaks, before he went off the grid. Or: an extensive feature on The Hothouse Flowers, perhaps to justify the expense of whoever paid for Christina to go to Dublin and interview them. And while giving Die Hard 2 a mere 2 stars is, of course, a matter to taste...it's not taste we share. All this and much more awaits you in our latest podcast! QUICK LINKS
The house in Harrisville, Rhode Island is not clean. In fact it's filthy, lousy with supernatural yuck. That's bad news for whoever inhabits it, and no one's going to have it worse than the Perrons—father Roger (Ron Livingston), mother Carolyn (Lili Taylor), and their five daughters. When the otherworldly rumblings get out of hand, who they gonna call? In this case, it's the OG Ghostbusters, Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga). To say what happens next would be a spoiler, and we don't do that without a warning. But after our forays into James Wan's Dead Silence and Insidious, allow us to say that The Conjuring is a cool breath of delightfully fetid air.

Dana and Tom with new guest, Adam Vanderwerff, discuss the irreverent workplace satire, Office Space (1999): written and directed by Mike Judge, music by John Frizzell, starring Ron Livingston, Jennifer Aniston, Gary Cole, and Stephen Root.Plot Summary: In the suburban labyrinth of cubicles and copy machines, "Office Space" emerges as a wry and incisive commentary on the soul-sucking ennui of corporate America. Director Mike Judge masterfully crafts a tale that delves into the mundane yet oddly compelling lives of software company employees who find themselves trapped in a cycle of monotony and middle-management absurdity.At its core, "Office Space" is a comedic exploration of existential dread, centering on the disillusioned Peter Gibbons (played with deadpan brilliance by Ron Livingston), who undergoes a profound existential crisis triggered by a botched hypnotherapy session. Liberated from the shackles of ambition, Peter embarks on a subversive journey of workplace rebellion alongside his equally disenchanted comrades, Michael Bolton (David Herman) and Samir Nagheenanajar (Ajay Naidu).Judge navigates the murky waters of office politics with razor-sharp wit, skewering corporate culture and its absurdities with precision and hilarity. From the mind-numbing TPS reports to the insidious machinations of upper management, every facet of office life becomes fair game for Judge's biting satire.You can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast) or find our Facebook page at Greatest Movie of All-Time Podcast.For more on the episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/office-space-1999-ft-adam-vanderwerffFor the entire rankings list so far, go to:Full Graded List - Greatest Movies of All-Time Ronny Duncan Studios

Here at The Substance we love engaging with thoughtful art and artists as they are able to get at truth in a way other mediums just are not capable, and among the various forms of art, movies are probably our favorite. That is why we are so delighted to share this exciting first with you all: on this episode we have the pleasure of being joined by a well established actor who recently made his directorial debut, John Carroll Lynch! John's career as an actor spans over three decades and he has worked with some incredible directors in that time. Folks like Martin Scorsese (right off the bat we get a GREAT Shutter Island story), David Fincher, Joel and Ethan Coen, Clint Eastwood, John Woo, Pablo Larraín, Albert Brooks, Karyn Kusama, Tony Scott, and even Tom Hanks on HBO's From the Earth to the Moon. And a few years ago, he took all those experiences and channeled them into a stunning directorial debut, 2017's Lucky. Lucky tells the story of a 90-year-old atheist living in small desert town who goes on a bit of a spiritual journey when he is forced to confront his mortality after he experiences a fall. The titular character Lucky is played beautifully by veteran character actor Harry Dean Stanton. It's a role that is infused with so many essential and biographical elements from Harry's own life but it very much stands on its own if you are unfamiliar with his life and career. The town is filled with wonderful actors, many of whom are longtime friends of HDS. People like David Lynch, Ron Livingston, Ed Begley Jr., Tom Skerritt (Harry's co-star in the sci-fi masterpiece and previous SC episode Alien), Barry Shabaka Henley, James Darren, Beth Grant, and more! The movie is currently streaming on Hoopla so support your local library and check it out! You can also rent it on any major platform.

The Worst of 2023 continues with a discussion of the polarizing film The Flash starring real-life criminal Ezra Miller. Resident comic book expert Josh Kotsabasakis joins the guys to discuss the film and attempt to avoid as many real-life Ezra references as possible. Why does this movie have so much spaghetti? Are the CGI babies the worst? And what about the rest of the CGI? Does this movie not even have a real villain? What the hell does "re-alive" mean? How was Michael Keaton as Batman? All this and more in (ironically) one of the longer episodes in a while. Next week: a fairly serious film... What We've Been Watching: Saltburn "Earthworm Jim" "Curb Your Enthusiasm" Questions?

We take a trip to LA then to Vegas then back to LA in the latest episode of the Good Day for a Movie Podcast. Jacob picks Swingers from 1996 starring Jon Favreau, Vince Vaughn, Ron Livingston, and Heather Graham. Before we get into the movie, Jacob gives his quick nonspoiler review of Killers of the Flower Moon. This movie was directed by Doug Liman.

Our 8th Annual Scary Movie Month has arrived and we kick it off with a film that has several legit frights and some "I'm creeped out in my own basement" staying power. Our 539th episode talks about demonic possession, child endangerment and other weird things. Director James Wan knows how to use jump scares in The Conjuring, but he also knows how to build tension and he really knows how to shoot a horror movie. This Malaysian mogul based his freak-fest on a real story and he cast solid actors like Vera Farmiga and Ron Livingston, but then he had to go and (as he often does) work with...yeah, Patrick Wilson. Lili Taylor and the 5 young actresses who play her daughters are fantastic though. In any case, The Conjuring delivers and it not only became a blockbuster, it inspired an entire horror universe. So whether you crouch menacingly on top of an armoire or playfully clap in the darkness, be prepared to hear us talk about screams and skin-crawls in this 10-year-old ghost story. Well, Actually: A Stir Of Echoes is the name of the Kevin Bacon movie we couldn't remember (the one where he discovers a terrible tragedy in his basement).

Office Space is a cult classic comedy film that was released in 1999. The movie was written and directed by Mike Judge, who is best known for creating "Beavis and Butt-Head" and "King of the Hill." The production of "Office Space" had its own share of ups and downs, much like the fictional office depicted in the film. Conception: The idea for "Office Space" originated from Mike Judge's own experiences working in cubicle-based jobs in the past. He drew inspiration from the mundane and absurd aspects of corporate life, which he satirized in the film. Casting: The film featured an ensemble cast, including Ron Livingston as the disenchanted protagonist Peter Gibbons, Jennifer Aniston as the waitress and love interest Joanna, and Gary Cole as the overbearing boss Bill Lumbergh. The casting choices were crucial to the film's success in capturing the essence of its characters. Filming: "Office Space" was primarily filmed in Austin, Texas, on a modest budget of around $10 million. The office scenes were shot in an actual office building to maintain an authentic and realistic atmosphere. Studio Interference: During production, there were some disagreements between the filmmaker and the studio over the film's content and marketing. The studio executives were uncertain about how to promote the movie and even suggested changing the title, which led to tensions between Mike Judge and the studio. Box Office Reception: Despite the studio's uncertainty, "Office Space" was released in theaters on February 19, 1999. Unfortunately, the film didn't perform well at the box office during its initial run, only grossing around $12 million. Cult Following: Despite its lackluster box office performance, "Office Space" found a new life on home video and cable television. The film gained a dedicated cult following and became a beloved classic among office workers and comedy enthusiasts. Legacy: Over the years, "Office Space" has achieved iconic status, often cited as one of the best comedies of the late '90s. Its humor and commentary on corporate culture have remained relevant, making it a timeless favorite. In summary, "Office Space" had a rocky start with studio interference and a lack of commercial success in its initial release. However, over time, it garnered a devoted fan base and established itself as a timeless satire on the absurdities of office life, ensuring its place in comedy history. If you enjoy the show we have a Patreon, become a supporter. www.patreon.com/thevhsstrikesback Plot Summary: In "Office Space," we meet Peter Gibbons, a disillusioned office worker trapped in a monotonous job with an inept boss and meaningless tasks. One day, a hypnotherapy session goes awry, leaving Peter with a newfound carefree attitude towards his job. He and his fed-up coworkers, Michael Bolton and Samir, embark on a plot to exact revenge on their soul-crushing workplace. Chaos ensues as they hilariously navigate corporate absurdities, inadvertently causing chaos while trying to liberate themselves from the shackles of office life. "Office Space" is a witty and irreverent satire that strikes a chord with anyone who has ever dreamed of escaping the humdrum of the nine-to-five grind. thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thevhsstrikesback/support

This week we're going back to the future, just like in that classic Eric Stoltz film, while we bring out all our favourite superheroes and CG the crap out of them, all while discussing the latest entry in the DCEU ‘The Flash'.

Pictures, DC Studios, Double Dream, and the Disco Factory, and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures,[6] it is the 13th installment in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). The film is directed by Andy Muschietti from a screenplay by Christina Hodson and stars Ezra Miller as Barry Allen / The Flash alongside Sasha Calle, Michael Shannon, Ron Livingston, Maribel Verdú, Kiersey Clemons, Antje Traue, and Michael Keaton.

Episode 186!? This week we're switching things up and giving your thoughts on The Flash! The Flash is a 2023 American superhero film based on the DC character of the same name. Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, DC Studios, Double Dream, and the Disco Factory, and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, it is the 13th installment in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). The film is directed by Andy Muschietti from a screenplay by Christina Hodson and stars Ezra Miller as Barry Allen / The Flash alongside Sasha Calle, Michael Shannon, Ron Livingston, Maribel Verdú, Kiersey Clemons, Antje Traue, and Michael Keaton. In the film, Barry travels back in time to prevent his mother's death, which brings unintended consequences. The development of a film based on The Flash began in the late 1980s, with multiple writers and directors attached to the project through 2014. The film was then redeveloped as a part of the DCEU, with Miller cast as the title character. Multiple directors were attached to the film over the following years, with Seth Grahame-Smith, Rick Famuyiwa, and the duo of John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein all departing the project over creative differences. Muschietti and Hodson joined the film in July 2019, and pre-production began in January 2020. The film is influenced by the comic book storyline Flashpoint, featuring multiple DC characters, including Ben Affleck and Keaton reprising their respective versions of Batman. Principal photography took place from April to October 2021 at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden and on location around the United Kingdom. The Flash premiered at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on June 12, 2023, and was released in the United States on June 16, following multiple delays caused by director changes, the COVID-19 pandemic, post-production setbacks and controversies surrounding Miller. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for its plot, action sequences, humor, and performances (particularly of Miller and Keaton), but criticism for the quality of its visual effects and screenplay.

Editors - Jason Ballantine ACE and Paul Machliss ACE While THE FLASH editors Jason Ballantine ACE and Paul Machliss ACE* both hail from Australia, this latest entry in the DCEU would be their first time meeting one another. Both editors have been advancing their careers away from their homeland for quite some time. Jason has worked in LA for the past ten years, while Paul has been in London for the last twenty. The director who would be responsible for bringing these two together is Andy Muschietti, Jason's director for IT (2017) and IT CHAPTER TWO (2019). The two editors split editing duties pretty much down the middle for THE FLASH, each taking five of the film's ten reels. One thing that did separate them for much of the film's development was geography. While Jason was holding down the fort at Warner Brothers Studios in LA, Paul was on location in the UK for seven months, assembling main unit footage with Muschietti. Following production, Machliss would join Jason in LA for six additional months of editing. And it would be six more months before Ballantine would put the final touches on the highly anticipated "metahuman" movie. Based on the DC Comics character of the same name, THE FLASH is the thirteenth installment in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). The film is directed by Andy Muschietti from a screenplay by Christina Hodson and stars Ezra Miller as Barry Allen (The Flash) alongside Ben Affleck, Michael Keaton, Sasha Calle, Michael Shannon, Ron Livingston and Maribel Verdú. In the film, Barry travels back in time to prevent his mother's death, which traps him in an alternate reality without metahumans. Barry enlists the help of; his younger self, an older Batman and the Kryptonian castaway Supergirl in order to save this world from General Zod and return to his universe. JASON BALLANTINE ACE Jason Ballantine began his editing career in the horror genre (one which he would return to often) with the Australian thriller WOLF CREEK (2005). From there he would edit other fright flicks, such as PROM NIGHT (2008), CRUSH (2009) and NEEDLE (2010). But it would be his work on director Andy Muschietti's adaptation of Stephen King's IT (2017) and IT: CHAPTER TWO (2019) that would put an exclamation point on Jason's work in the horror medium. Jason has also previously teamed up with directors Baz Luhrmann and Matthew Vaughn for THE GREAT GATSBY (2013) and THE KING'S MAN (2021) respectively. PAUL MACHLISS ACE While known most prominently for his work with Edgar Wright; SPACED (1999-2001), SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD (2010), THE WORLD'S END (2013), BABY DRIVER (2017) and LAST NIGHT IN SOHO (2021), Paul also edited; the pilot episode of FLEABAG (2016), eighteen episodes of THE IT CROWD (2006-2008) and films such as THE KID WHO WOULD BE KING (2019) and THE GENTLEMEN (2019). For his work on BABY DRIVER, Paul was nominated for an Oscar® alongside co-editor John Amos. * [Publisher's Note] The guests wish to express their regret and apologies for using he/him pronouns in referencing Ezra Miller (they/them). No disrespect was intended toward Ezra or anyone else. This oversight should be attributed to all of the following conditions: jet lag, old age, and recording this interview way too early on a Sunday morning. Thanks for your understanding.

Special guest Brogan Luke Bouwhis joins us this week to review The Flash, which stars Ezra Miller as the fastest person alive...at avoiding crimes? Anyway, the DCEU is currently being taken over by James Gunn, which makes The Flash a bit of a holdover from another era. That's probably why it has plenty of other eras inside its runtime, because yes, it's a multiverse plot. Comic book movies have no other choice these days. We give our thoughts on the movie, which certainly Vary Allen. We then open up the show for some spoiler discussion (with plenty of warning) then finish the show with the Rotten Tomatoes Game. The Flash was directed by Andy Muschietti (the It movies) and written by Christina Hodson (Birds of Prey). In addition to Miller, the cast includes Sasha Calle, Michael Shannon, Ron Livingston, Maribel Verdú, Kiersey Clemons, Antje Traue, Michael Keaton, and plenty of spoilery cameos we won't give away. The film opened nationwide on June 16 through Warner Bros and has a 144-minute runtime. Our intro music this week is “Gato” by TyLuv. & Strehlow.

When there's something strange in your shitty, auction bought, ramshackle house, who you gonna call? 2 weirdos who call themselves "Demonologists" and no one thinks that's odd. Blockbuster Director James Wan brings us the haunted house thriller "The Conjuring" (2013) starring Vera Farmiga, Lili Taylor, Patrick Wilson and Ron Livingston. A truly scary film that kicked off a franchise, this one actually chills co-hosts Robert Lendrum and Jamie Roberts. We ask, does anyone think these guys are fakes? Would Christian faith make this film extra scary? Have we ever had a supernatural experience? Are all ghosts malicious or are there helpful ghosts? Why do demonologists keep so many creepy bobbleheads? Rob tells the story about how he almost put a stake through an imaginary prankster. Join us for the chiller by the river!
