Buckle up for one helluva journey as Wit returns to the show and we chat about William Friedkin's stonecold masterpiece Sorcerer.

Julian, Madeline, and Emilio are joined by Brendan McDonald, the producer of 'WTF with Marc Maron,' to finish off their cycle of New York City movies with a "Close-Up" on the works of legendary cinematographer Owen Roizman. A versatile visual talent ready for whatever came his way, Roizman burst out of the gate with William Friedkin's crime drama "The French Connection" (1971), in which he unforgettably and frantically photographed a plethora of New York locales. This showcase of his skills made him the perfect choice to shoot "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three" (1974), the Joseph Sargent-directed, subway-set thriller infused with workplace humor that indelibly captures a timeless spirit of New York. But Roizman's aptitude also extended beyond the grimy streets and subway tunnels, and rose up to the broadcasting towers of Midtown Manhattan in "Network" (1976), the darkly prescient media satire written by Paddy Chayefsky and directed by Sidney Lumet. Blending their eyes for detail with their lived experience as New Yorkers, the group get into how Roizman's visual sense cemented the iconic status of these films, and why they stand the test of time even as they were made just a few years apart from one another.

In this episode, Stuart and Jacob dive into the gritty underworld of the "French Connection" franchise, comparing the original 1971 classic with its 1975 sequel and the lesser-known 1986 made-for-TV pilot movie, "Popeye Doyle." They explore the evolution of the Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle, portrayed by Gene Hackman, and how his journey shifts from a hard-nosed detective in New York to a fish-out-of-water in France. Is this characterization even right for Hackman? And what of Roy Scheider's character keeping him grounded? What of Hershey's chocolate? But ultimately, what makes the original film a landmark in neo-noir cinema, and how does the sequel falter in its execution? Or do they even care for either of these movies to begin with? And then there's "Popeye Doyle," a film (can we even call it a film?) that raises more questions than it answers.Also featured in this episode are thoughts on Gene Hackman's diverse career and sad passing, a quiz about his iconic roles, Stuart's thoughts on the recent "Sinners", and a debate on the merits of director's cuts.

Things come full circle this week as we hearken back to an earlier era of The Complete Works - if you liked CON AIR, boy do we have a movie for you! Not only is a shameless ripoff of CON AIR, but it's implied that it takes place... in the same universe??? Roy Scheider stars alongside Dorian Harewood, Ray Wise, Clint Howard, and a little girl named after a JAWS character in 1998's direct-to-video action movie EVASIVE ACTION!
This week on Shoot the Hostage, Dan and Sarah brave the wasteland of cinema history to grapple with the undisputed heavy artillery of our big old floppy flop season, Tank Girl (1995). Be warned, as is tradition, we swear and spoil. Sarah chose this one and frankly, it feels like some kind of revenge after Battlefield Earth. Released in 1995 this film doesn't just qualify as a flop, it lives in the flop house and pays rent with lint and disappointment. It somehow made more than Empire Records and Police Academy 7, which, let's be honest, is our primary metric for success. Based on the very British, very anarchic comic book series and directed by Rachel Talalay, this 1990s comic book movie should have been a slam dunk, or at least a solid ground rule double. We get into the nitty-gritty of why this felt like such missed potential. Here's what you can expect from this week's episode: Discussions on Lori Petty as Tank Girl (aka Rebecca) and who else lobbied for the role The uncredited, sophisticated (yet visually questionable) work of Stan Winston Studios on the Rippers The surprisingly great soundtrack curated by Courtney Love Dream casting for a potential reboot Ramblings that connect this film to The Warriors, Scott Pilgrim... and, bizarrely, Roy Scheider in seaQuest DSV. Why this comic book movie adaptation ultimately crashed and burned at the box office If you're searching for podcasts about movie flops or maybe just a podcast reviewing box office bombs, retro comic book films, or trying to understand why a film featuring a kick-ass female lead and directed by Rachel Talalay failed so spectacularly, this is the episode for you. Or maybe you just need someone to talk about the fact they made a kangaroo penis for a movie? Look no further!

This week, Sarah and MJ tackle a film that takes broad and abstract inspiration from Jaws: Basic Instinct. They wax poetic about erotic thrillers, Jerry Goldsmith, and their favorite topic, replacing one of the lead actors with Roy Scheider.

Schauspielerin, Sängerin und Tänzerin Nini Stadlmann über ein Leben auf den Bühnen Deutschlands und Österreich - fernab des Alltags.

In der aktuellen Folge vom Filmmagazin widmen wir uns dem Paranoia-Thriller „Marathon Man“ von John Schlesinger aus dem Jahr 1976. Der Film mit Dustin Hoffman, Laurence Olivier und Roy Scheider gilt als Klassiker des New Hollywood und verbindet politische Verschwörung, NS-Vergangenheit und persönliche Traumata zu einem düsteren Katz-und-Maus-Spiel. Doch kann der Film auch heute noch begeistern? Wir diskutieren, warum die Story erst spät an Fahrt aufnimmt, wieso der Thriller trotz einiger Längen seine Wirkung entfaltet – und was die ikonische Zahnarzt-Folterszene mit dem Kinopublikum der 70er gemacht hat. Außerdem geht es um Misstrauen gegenüber staatlichen Institutionen, reale Bezüge zur McCarthy-Ära und die Frage, ob der Film seiner Zeit systemkritischer war, als es auf den ersten Blick scheint.
This week, Roy Scheider has been elected to a second term as the president of the United States, this time in the 1997 Dolph Lundgren vehicle THE PEACEKEEPER! It's a film that boldly asks the question, "What if DIE HARD took place in a missile silo?"

Michael Madsen plays a former stuntman who gets broken out of jail by Keith David and then gets involved in a plot to kidnap the President of the United States - who is, of course, played by Roy Scheider.
We now enter the direct-to-video action thriller phase of Roy Scheider's career, and we begin with the first of two movies he made starring Gary Busey in 1997! Scheider is the villain of the movie, a landmine baron who kidnaps Gary Busey's daughter - it's time for PLATO'S RUN!
A dysfunctional family reunites for the holidays and past secrets finally get revealed. It's time to talk about Roy Scheider alongside Julianne Moore, Blythe Danner, Hope Davis, Noah Wyle and more in 1997's Sundance dramedy, THE MYTH OF FINGERPRINTS!

Such as this light week that has Peter Sobczynski and Erik Childress starting off with a stone-cold classic thriller from Criterion upgraded to 4K.

This week, Roy Scheider appears as a mob boss alongside Gary Oldman, Juliette Lewis, Lena Olin, Annabella Sciorra, and more in a movie that was so despised that Jon Bon Jovi wrote a song for it and then refused to let the producers use it - it's time for ROMEO IS BLEEDING!
This week, Roy Scheider plays a small but pivotal supporting role in David Cronenberg's cult classic, NAKED LUNCH! Adapted from the novel by William S. Burroughs, Scheider stars alongside Peter Weller, Judy Davis, Ian Holm, and more in what may be the strangest and one of the last great movie of his career.
A standard college melodrama makes a hard-right turn into an anti-abortion screed in a move that's almost as bizarre as Kirk Cameron's horrible Southern accent. We welcome back Alana Phelan to the show with a movie she really loved as a kid, but viewing it as an adult, a few things suddenly stand out. Starring Kirk Cameron, Jamie Gertz, Roy Scheider, and Tim Quill. Written and directed by Douglass Day Stewart. Content warning: this episode discusses rape, abortion, and general sexual topics.

Jaws is a 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 summer resort town. Murray Hamilton plays the mayor, and Lorraine Gary portrays Brody's wife. The screenplay is credited to Benchley, who wrote the first drafts, and actor-writer Carl Gottlieb, who rewrote the script during principal photography.
This week, we've got another early 90's Cold War thriller, and this time it's a John Le Carré adaptation starring Sean Connery and Michelle Pfieffer in the lead roles - Roy Scheider appears alongside them in THE RUSSIA HOUSE!
All of the nearly three hundred episodes we've done so far have been enthusiastic celebrations of artists whose work we admire so greatly that we had to invent a podcast to talk about it. But in this very strange episode, we talk about a film so awful in so many ways that we are baffled by how it came from the same man who directed four unquestionable masterpieces in a row. The Rainmaker (1997) is–and we mean this without irony–a fascinating film that does everything that films like The Conversation and The Godfather Part II avoid. It works on paper: there's Coppola, of course, but also a bestseller as its source material, Matt Damon, Claire Danes, Mickey Roarke, Danny DeVito, Jon Voight, Danny Glover, and (inexplicably) Roy Scheider. But even Sheriff Brody can't kill this beast. Rather than offer a litany of complaints, we talk about the concept of a “shadow movie”: the movie that could have been, the one lurking beneath the film we actually see. This is the only episode in which we don't follow our usual three-part structure, because we didn't know if we'd be releasing this one. But we think that we can learn more about films from even one as terrible as this. If you're interested in the source for Coppola's film, you can find the novel here. Incredible bumper music by John Deley.

EPISODE 71 - “STEVE & NAN's FAVORITE CLASSIC FILMS OF THE 1970s” - 1/20/2024 The 1970s was a decade that saw the rise of the auteur. Filmmakers like Scorsese, Coppola, Cassavetes, Altman, Lumet, and DePalma hit their stride and brought to the screen their specific vision and stylized films. It was a very experimental era where boundaries were pushed and once-taboo topics were explored. It became a creative high point and gave us some iconic movies. This week, Steve And Nan take look at some of their favorite films of the 1970s.

Bob Fosse's autobiographical musical about how he makes art until he dies is all about a guy who's doing too much and can't cope, yet he's compelled to never stop working. Name an addiction and he's got it. Yet his 8 1/2-esque story---with Roy Scheider playing a heightened version of his director---is a potent one, with all its flashy editing, production design and terrific choreography. We weren't huge fans of the songs in All That Jazz, but these actors sure can dance, especially Ann Reinking (whose name is pronounced "Rine-king"). So...5, 6, 7, 8...put on some black clothes and do your heart-killing morning routine every day as the 627th edition of Have You Ever Seen pieces through All That Jazz.

Scheider season travels to the one that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism: SPACE! This episode features Adam Moffett of The Bond We Share talking about 2010: The Year We Make Contact. We discuss its validity as a legacy sequel, whether it works as a companion to 2001, how great the cast is, and Roy Scheider's intensely likeable energy.
When the whole 2001 aftermath has Roy Scheider assuaging his guilt with a wrench, an unexpected offer to join a Russian mission to the Discovery is too tempting for him to pass up. But when he finally gets to space and war breaks out on earth, the two crews have to work together in pursuit of an unambiguously happy ending. Where does Helen Mirren fall on the scale of Russian accents? What's the creepiest thing you could hear on a huge mostly empty spaceship? Which department has very specific messaging on their inspirational poster? It's the episode that appreciates a bit of cold-war bullshit.Support the production of Greatest TrekGet a thing at podshop.biz!Sign up for our mailing list!Greatest Trek is produced by Wynde PriddySocial media is managed by Rob Adler and Bill TilleyMusic by Adam RaguseaFriends of DeSoto for: Labor | Democracy | JusticeDiscuss the show using the hashtag #GreatestTrek and find us on social media:YouTube | Facebook | X | Instagram | TikTok | Mastodon | Bluesky | ThreadsAnd check out these online communities run by FODs: Reddit | USS Hood Discord | Facebook group | Wikia | FriendsOfDeSoto.social
