Hal's memoir, An Accidental Career, is available through Amazon.com.

Before embarking on a new season next week, this is the third and final instalment of our 2025 clip shows, featuring the best of our recent conversations over the last 12 months. From debating the anatomical accuracy of kangaroo prosthetics to Danny “Boyling” down the legendary career of the British filmmaker, we're covering all cinematic bases. Join us for the usual film discussion and tangents as we ponder the filmmaking “genius” of Renny Harlin and why Sylvester Stallone's head looks like it was pasted onto a car with glue and a prayer. We also give flowers to the likes of Lori Petty, Jeff Bridges and Burt Reynolds, while wondering if Michael Ironside and Roy Scheider were the ultimate “fish guys” of the 90s. What to expect from the show: Discover why Ron Perlman was sadly passed over for the role of a mutant kangaroo. Hear the disturbing search for a lost, degraded silicone prosthetic from the Stann Winston estate. Learn how Davina McCall was nearly elevated from host of Streetmate to a Spice Girl. Dan defends his yearly tradition of watching Driven, despite Sarah's best efforst to leave the room. We speculate whether a talking dolphin in SeaQuest DSV is actually the peak of 90s television. Sarah reveals her dark past as a digital deity who tortured The Sims with clown paintings and lack of sanitation. The American Pie franchise gets a gritty, environmental reboot involving socks and methane. Find out why locking the butler in the freezer in Tomb Raider 2 is a universal gaming experience.

A propósito de lo anterior hicimos una lista espontánea de películas para llorar: "Breve encuentro" de David Lean, "Los puentes de Madison" de Clint Eastwood y muchas más.
It's showtime, folks! We're talking Bob Fosse's strange, wonderful, kind of autobiographical masterpiece, All That Jazz!

Die auf realen Ermittlungen beruhende Jagd zweier New Yorker Drogenfahnder auf den internationalen Heroinring „French Connection“ bildet die Grundlage für diesen rauen Polizeithriller, der durch seine nahezu dokumentarische Inszenierung und die kompromisslose Darstellung von Polizeiarbeit jenseits herkömmlicher Heldenbilder besticht. Dies ist nicht zuletzt dem intensiven Spiel von Gene Hackman als obsessivem „Popeye“ Doyle sowie dessen Partner Buddy Russo, dargestellt von Roy Scheider, zu verdanken.Kontakt: podcast (at) retroboost.de
Snowed in, chili on the stove, and toxic romance on the screen. This week on the Binge-Watchers Podcast, Johnny Spoiler dives headfirst into Romeo Is Bleeding (1993), the sleazy neo-noir crime thriller starring Gary Oldman, Lena Olin, and Roy Scheider—a movie where everyone betrays everyone and nobody gets out clean.Before the blood hits the subway tiles, Johnny rants about hating snow, surviving real-life blizzards, bikini porch dives, and why small victories matter when winter tries to kill you. Then it's Home Video Headlines, including Dragon Ball Super news, DCU Batman rumors, a possible Darkman sequel, and three essential dead-of-winter thrillers: Wind Chill, The Last Winter, and Dead of Winter.The main event breaks down Romeo Is Bleeding—a corrupt NYC cop seduced by a ruthless Moscow crime boss—with behind-the-scenes facts, Tom Waits trivia, brutal mob moments, courtroom chaos, and why Lena Olin's Mona feels like a loaded gun aimed at the audience for the entire runtime. We talk broken ribs, real stunts, moral emptiness, and why this movie insists that redemption is a lie life doesn't care about.Johnny wraps it up with favorite bits, a Binge Later rating, unfiltered He-Man discourse, staff picks (Code 3, not The Smashing Machine), and a closing that legally has to reference Closing Time.If you love neo-noir thrillers, Gary Oldman performances, toxic romance movies, mob betrayals, and dark 90s crime films that feel like they hate you personally—this episode is for you.Get Meatzy https://tr.ee/GetMeatzyJohnnyDrink Olipop use code BWPOD https://tr.ee/PopJohnny

We're making up for a long-time oversight on the podcast by finally watching The French Connection, starring Gene Hackman and Roy Scheider! After exploring the historical context of 1971 films (and which Best Picture winners we've covered on the podcast), we turn our appreciation toward a thing that influenced so many on-screen car chases, cop movies, and The Wire. We talk about how our podcast keeps crossing over with fast food restaurants, how The French Connection captures the griminess of 1970s Brooklyn and subways and real locations (and real bars), and how William Friedkin seems hellbent on showing actual illicit activities on-screen. Joe admires chemistry glass Joey breaks down *the* on-screen car chase. We talk about how the film is like Fast Five. Email us: family@cageclub.meVisit our Patreon page at patreon.com/2fast2forever.

In this epic four-hour discussion, Mike and Mike highlight some specialized categories, count down their Top 10 Roy Scheider performances, and then count down their Top 10 Favorite Roy Scheider movies. Plus, we have some dedicated JAWS time at the end and look ahead at the possibilities for what Season 5 could have in store! Thanks so much to everyone who followed along with our Scheider journey this season, and don't worry - while we are taking a short break before we go into Season 5, we'll still have plenty of Mike & Mike episodes coming out in the meantime!
It's finally here, folks - it's time for the final film in Roy Scheider's filmography. And this is a weird case... about 16 years after Roy Scheider's death, a mysterious new project came about which uses archive footage from an unreleased 2003 movie that Scheider starred in, which means he is *technically* in this movie. But that barely scratches the surface to how strange this thing is. Featuring "performances" from Tom Sizemore, Michael Madsen, Cillian Murphy, Harvey Keitel, David Carradine, Crispin Glover, and yes, Roy Scheider, it's time to talk about ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWEIRD.

On the second-to-last Roy Scheider movie of the season, we're talking DARK HONEYMOON, an erotic thriller also featuring Daryl Hannah, Tia Carrere, and Eric Roberts. The movie isn't very good, but there's a surprising amount of Scheider and it's totally bonkers, which counts for something!

We are rapidly approaching the end of our Roy Scheider season, and so it's only fitting that we use this occasion to find an excuse to talk about JAWS one last time. Scheider narrates and appears as an interview subject in THE SHARK IS STILL WORKING, a documentary made by JAWS fans exploring the impact and legacy of one of the greatest movies ever made.
This week, Mike and Mike are tackling THE POET, released in the US as HEARTS OF WAR, and this one... might just be the worst movie we've ever talked about on this podcast. Not just of this season, we mean ever. A World War II romantic epic between (checks notes) a Nazi soldier and a Jewish woman, the film stars Roy Scheider alongside Nina Dobrev, Daryl Hannah, and a conspicuous boom mic popping in and out of frame.
New Hampshire Unscripted talks with the performance arts movers and shakers
Here at WKXL's NH Unscripted mention the movie “Jaws” and adrenaline instantly pours into my veins! It's an iconic movie with a crazy amount of adrenaline pumping scenes (especially that opening one jeeze). It was released 50yrs ago this year. The @nhtheatreproject is showcasing the stage production of “The Shark is Broken”. Directed by Todd Hunter and starring Jeff Ripley as Robert Shaw, Dan Kelly as Roy Scheider, and Aaron Bencks as Richard Dreyfuss, this spectacular comedy co-written by Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon, the short tempers of Jaws stars Robert Shaw (father of co-writer Ian), Richard Dreyfuss, and Roy Scheider take center stage as they bond, argue, drink, gamble, and pray for an end to the shoot, not knowing it will change their lives forever. October 17- Nov 2nd in Portsmouth.
This week, Mike and Mike get a rare surprise at this late stage of Roy Scheider's career - a really good movie! We're discussions Brett Morgan's documentary CHICAGO 10, which blends archive footage with animated re-enactments of the protests surrounding the 1968 Democratic National Convention and the infamous trial that followed. Scheider provides voice work alongside Hank Azaria, Jeffrey Wright, Mark Ruffalo, Liev Schrieber, and more!
This week, Roy Scheider pops up for one scene in the sex comedy LOVE THY NEIGHBOR, and we're not gonna lie - it's breaking our brains a little bit that Scheider is in the same movie as Charlie Day. Directed by Nick Gregory (the son of Andre Gregory from MY DINNER WITH ANDRE) and an early example of digital filmmaking on an indie level, is this movie smarter than it appears to be? Well... let's not go that far, but there might be something here!
This week, fan-favorite character Cardinal Siqueros makes his triumphant return to the DRACULA series! Picking up five years after DRACULA II: ASCENSION, Roy Scheider is back for another one-scene performance in DRACULA III: LEGACY, this time featuring Rutger Hauer as Dracula! Plus, our favorite kung-fu vampire hunter priest Father Uffizi is the main character now!
It's Punisher Week on Mike and Mike Pod! Thanks to a listener donation to our Ko-Fi page (ko-fi.com/mikeandmikepods), we're following up our discussion of Roy Scheider in 2004's THE PUNISHER by talking about the pseudo-sequel PUNISHER: WAR ZONE, directed by Lexi Alexander and starring Ray Stevenson as Frank Castle.
This week, we're talking about arguably the last major film of Roy Scheider's career, in which he briefly appears as Frank Castle's father in 2004's THE PUNISHER! We talk Thomas Jane, compare the film to the 1989 version, and have a lot of thoughts about this period of pre-MCU comic book adaptations!
Stewart, Rastislav and Ken are back to review Clint Eastwood's 2021 neo-western Cry Macho. This film had a lengthy development journey; the late N. Richard Nash originally intended this as a screenplay, but retooled it into a novel published in 1975. There were several attempts to bring it to the screen with potential leading men such as Eastwood, Robert Mitchum, Roy Scheider and even Arnold Schwarzenegger! It was finally realized with Eastwood pulling double duty in the lead role and in the director's chair.Mike Milo is a retired rodeo and ranch hand who was fired by his old boss and ranch owner for what appears as Mike ‘being too old'. A year later he is approached by his old boss to journey into Mexico to retrieve the ranch owners son from his delinquent mother and bring him back to the US. Along the way they meet some interesting people and create a bond with each other and the boys rooster named ‘Macho'.Stewart enjoyed the easygoing wholesomeness of this film, but Rastislav and Ken felt the story and character development were half-baked in comparison to other Eastwood films such as Unforgiven and Gran Torino. They all appreciated the cinematography, music and production design.There were other bright spots including some of the incidental characters (to Rastislav's amusement) and the song “Find a New Home” written by the film's composer Mark Mancina and performed by Will Bannister.Written by Nick Schenk and N. Richard Nash (based on Nash's novel) and directed by Clint Eastwood. Starring Eastwood as Mike, Eduardo Minett as Rafo, Dwight Yoakam as Howard, Natalia Traven as Marta and Fernanda Urrejola as Leta.Film Rating: PG This is a public episode.

This week, Roy Scheider pops up for one scene in the direct-to-video sequel to DRACULA 2000, it's DRACULA II: ASCENSION!

This week, Roy Scheider gets an unlikely co-star: Trash TV legend Jerry Springer! Scheider plays the governor of Florida in a world where high-profile court cases get turned into AMERICAN IDOL-style TV shows, where the viewers at home get to vote whether the defendant is innocent or guilty. Think THE RUNNING MAN meets NETWORK, but... not quite as good as either of those. It's time for CITIZEN VERDICT!

Katht and Mark take a deep dive into JAWS, 1975 American thriller film directed by Steven Spielberg. Based on the 1974 novel by Peter Benchley, it stars Roy Scheider as police chief Martin Brody, who, with the help of a marine biologist (Richard Dreyfuss) and a professional shark hunter (Robert Shaw), hunts a man-eating great white shark that attacks beachgoers at a New England summer resort town.

Hang onto your slipcases, because Blake Howard and the legendary host of INCREMENT VICE - Travis Woods - break the balls of the Criterion 4K release of what he argues is perhaps the greatest movie of the 1970s, and therefore one of the greatest movies ever, William Friedkin's SORCERER.SorcererA hallucinatory journey into the heart of darkness, William Friedkin's pulse-pounding reimagining of the suspense classic The Wages of Fear was dismissed upon its release, only to be recognised decades later as one of the New Hollywood's boldest auteur statements. In a remote Latin American village, four desperate fugitives—a New Jersey gangster (Roy Scheider), a Mexican assassin (Francisco Rabal), an unscrupulous Parisian businessman (Bruno Cremer), and an Arab terrorist (Amidou)—take on a doomed mission: transporting two trucks full of highly explosive nitroglycerin through the treacherous jungle. Aided by Tangerine Dream's otherworldly synth score, Friedkin turns each bump in the road into a tour de force of cold-sweat tension—conjuring a hauntingly nihilistic vision of a world ruled by chance and fate.4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack approved by director William Friedkin, and alternate original theatrical 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrackOne 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and two Blu-rays with the film and special featuresFriedkin Uncut (2018), a documentary by Francesco Zippel featuring interviews with Friedkin, screenwriter Walon Green, filmmakers Wes Anderson and Francis Ford Coppola, and othersNew conversation between filmmaker James Gray and film critic Sean FennesseyConversation from 2015 between Friedkin and filmmaker Nicolas Winding RefnArchival audio interviews with Green and editor Bud Smith, from the collection of Giulia D'Agnolo Vallan, author of William Friedkin (2003)Behind-the-scenes footageTrailerEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingPLUS: An essay by film critic Justin ChangNew cover by Nessim HigsonTravis Woods (Host of INCREMENT VICE)Travis Woods is a Contributing Editor at Bright Wall/Dark Room, as well as a writer for The New Beverly Cinema and Cinephilia & Beyond.No Way To Managua: Bridging the Forces of Fate and Identity in William Friedkin's SorcererSupport: JOIN THE ONE HEAT MINUTE PATREON FOR AS LITTLE AS $1 A MONTHFollow the hosts:Blake Howard - Twitter & One Heat Minute Website Alexei Toliopoulos - Twitter & The Last Video StoreSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/one-heat-minute-productions/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
