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. To hear Brendan discuss movies and other topics regularly, subscribe to the WTF bonus feed, "The Full Maron," for access to The Friday Show and other bonus material.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Terrance Malick and the Examined Life (2024), by Martin Woessner;  Films of the 1970s (2017), by Jurgen Muller; Hollywood's Last Golden Age: Politics, Society, and the Seventies Film in America (2012), by Jonathan Kirshner; How the Sex, Drugs, and Rock-n-Roll Generation Saved Hollywood (1998), by Peter Biskind; Picture Shows: The Life and Films of Peter Bogdonavich (1992), by Andrew Yule; “Jane Fonda on Klute,” July 18, 2019, The Criterion Collection;  TCM.com; IMDBPro.com; IBDB.com; Wikipedia.com; Movies Mentioned:  Smile (1975), starring Bruce Dern, Barbara Feldon, Michael Kidd, Nicholas Pryor, Annette O'Toole, Joan Prather, Melanie Griffith, Geoffrey Lewis, Maria O'Brien, Colleen Camp, Eric Shea, Denise Nickerson, and Titos Vandsis; Klute (1971), starring Jane Fonda, Donald Sutherland, Roy Scheider, Dorothy Tristan, Charles Cioffi, Jean Stapleton, Rita Gam, and Vivian Nathan; Badlands (1973), starring Martin Sheen, Sissy Spacek, Warren Oates, Garry Littlejohn, Alan Vint, and John Womack; The Sting (1973), starring Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Robert Saw, Robert Earl Jones, Charles Durning, Ray Walston, Charles Dierkop, Harold Gould, Sally Kellerman, and Eileen Brennan; The Last Picture Show (1971), starring Timothy Bottoms, Cybill Shepherd, Jeff Bridges, Ellen Burstyn, Ben Johnson, Cloris Leachman, Eileen Brennan, Clu Gulager, Sam Bottoms, Sharon Taggart, Randy Quad, and Bill Thurman; A Little Romance (1979), staring Laurence Olivier, Diane Lane, Thelonious Bernard, Arthur Hill, Sally Kellerman, Broderick Crawford, David Dukes, Andrew Duncan, and Claudette Sutherland; --------------------------------- http://www.airwavemedia.com Please contact sales@advertisecast.com if you would like to advertise on our podcast.

To mark the film's 40th anniversary, we revisit Peter Hyams' 2010 – a brave follow-up to a literal monolith in science fiction film history. In what was then called a 'belated' rather than a 'legacy' sequel, the film adapts Arthur C. Clarke's novel and features a stellar cast of Roy Scheider, Helen Mirren, John Lithgow, Bob Balaban and, returning from 2001: A Space Odyssey, Keir Dullea and Douglas Rain as Dave Bowman and HAL 9000. Yes, it's full of stars. But it is a worthy follow-up that stands on its own? Or is it a pale imitation and a footnote? Find out! Follow us on Tiktok, Facebook, Instagram and Bluesky.

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.

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?
