Podcasts about russia house

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!

"To achieve success in the election, Donald Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations. And as a responsible person, he will be obliged to fulfill them." These chilling words, delivered by Nikolai Patrushev—Putin's likely successor and former head of the FSB—confirm what our three-year investigation has uncovered: a sophisticated Russian influence operation with Elon Musk at its center, designed to deliver both the presidency and America's future to Vladimir Putin.The Web of Influence Our investigation reveals three interconnected operations:  1 The Platform Play: Musk's $44 billion acquisition of Twitter (now X) wasn't just a business deal—it was a strategic takeover of America's digital town square. By 2024, algorithm changes amplified extremist content while Russian propaganda flowed freely.  2 The Money Trail: Russian oligarch families facilitated the X purchase, creating a direct line between the Kremlin and America's most influential social platform.  3 The Policy Puppet: Musk's daily presence at Mar-a-Lago isn't coincidental. He's orchestrating a $2 trillion "shock therapy" economic plan that economists warn could devastate the American economy—exactly as similar measures did in Argentina. Eight years ago, I wrote "The Russia House," detailing Russian influence in Trump's first administration. Many called it impossible. Now, Putin's top security official openly declares that the President-elect has "obligations that must be fulfilled." This isn't just another story about Russian interference. It's about the systematic dismantling of American democracy through economic warfare, information manipulation, and direct control of government operations. When I wrote The Russia House eight years ago, it was a warning. Tonight's story is different. This isn't about what might happen—it's about what is happening right now, in plain sight, and what will happen if these plans are allowed to proceed.

President Joe Biden will arrive at the G7 summit in Italy armed with over 300 new sanctions aimed at further isolating and financially weakening Russia. The measures are “guided by G7 commitments to intensify the pressure on Russia,” according to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and they mark the latest attempt to limit the Kremlin's revenues and hamper Moscow's ability to source materials for its war in Ukraine.U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has expressed his frustration about Hamas submitting “numerous changes” to a U.S.-backed proposal for a cease-fire and the release of hostages in Gaza—a development that casts further doubt on the prospects of quickly securing a deal the United States hopes will bring “an enduring end” to the war. Mr. Blinken did not go into specific details about the changes, but continued to cast exclusive blame for the stalling of the deal—and the prolonging of the suffering of the people of Gaza—on the Hamas terrorist group, and not on Israel.The House of Representatives is expected to vote on a resolution holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over audio files of President Biden's interview in his classified documents case, a move that comes just weeks after the White House blocked the release of the recording to lawmakers. The contempt action represents House Republicans' latest and strongest rebuke of the Justice Department and of Mr. Garland's leadership.

Our look at Spy films takes a more serious turn with this look at a pair of movies based on John LeCarre novels. We start with The Spy Who Came In From the Cold (1965), directed by Martin Ritt and starring Richard Burton and Claire Bloom. It's a tale of a spy who chooses one more mission instead of coming in after a Cold War mission goes wrong. In Part 2, we'll move on to The Russia House, from 1990. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wordsandmovies/support

In Part 2 of our episode, we look at 1990s The Russia House, starring Sean Connery and Michelle Pfeiffer. This film, directed by Fred Schepisi, features Connery as a British Intelligence agent (wait...what?) who's looking for the author of a sensitive Soviet manuscript whose contents, if true, could mean a great deal to the Intelligence Community. COMING ATTRACTIONS: Next time, we stick with LeCarre novels rendered on film, with Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011), and A Most Wanted Man (2014), Join us, won't you? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wordsandmovies/support

In the second half of our episode, we're reviewing the Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker parody Top Secret! starring Val Kilmer playing an Elvis/Beach Boys pop star who is invited to perform in East Germany as a means of distraction from a plot to destroy NATO submarines. Typical of most ZAZ films, it's chock full of weird sight gags, bent cliches and multi-layered jokes that don't distract (much) from the main story's ability to make progress and give you an outcome you didn't realize you were invested in. COMING ATTRACTIONS: We stick with the spy genre for a while, but on a less-comedic note as we visit several movies based on John LeCarre novels. In our next episode we start with The Spy Who Came in From the Cold (1965) and from there we visit The Russia House (1990).

In the late 1980s, Hollywood reflected the real world thaw in the Cold War by depicting the idea of two Russias: the cold bureaucratic state run by grey men intent on propping up a crumbling regime, and the beautiful, little known country of real, everyday Russians who live rich and full lives despite it all. Our three films this week show the two Russias in different ways and in different stages of the 1980s Cold War. White Nights, the story of a Russian ballet dancer who defected to America and is forced to return, came out in December 1985. The Hunt for Red October, based on a 1984 Tom Clancy novel, was released in March 1990, a few months after the world changed. The Russia House, based on John le Carre's 1989 novel came out Christmas Day, 1990, exactly one year before the Soviet Union closed up shop for good.

Skalę klęski ukraińskiej wyprawy Władimira Putina – poza jej militarnym i geopolitycznym aspektem – pokazuje wystawa rosyjskich zbrodni, w którą przekształcono tzw. Russia House, pawilon, w którym Kreml od lat budował przyjazne relacje ze światem polityki i wielkiego biznesu podczas wielkich dorocznych konferencji w Davos. Na wystawie tej wielcy tego świata mogą zobaczyć 4600 zdjęć zniszczeń i zamordowanych cywilów, zdjęcia masowych grobów oraz mapę domniemanych zbrodni wojennych, w których sprawie władze ukraińskie prowadzą już ponad 10 tys. śledztw. W cotygodniowym podcaście "O świecie w Onecie" Michał Broniatowski i Adam Jasser rozmawiają też o niebywałej mobilizacji świata w obronie Ukrainy, która w swojej części materialnej sięga już niemal 100 mld euro i w której bardzo mocno uczestniczy Polska.

Sean Connery returns to the spy game, but since this is written by Tom Stoppard, directed by Fred Schepisi, and based on the novel by John le Carré, you know that this will bear as much relation to a Bond film as chess does to Chutes and Ladders. Also starring Michelle Pfeiffer, John Mahoney, James Fox, J.T. Walsh, and Roy Scheider.

Shay and Allie REUNITE to talk about Michelle's.... interesting "Old Man Phase". We discuss THE RUSSIA HOUSE (1990), FRANKIE AND JOHNNY (1991), LOVE FIELD (1992), THE AGE OF INNOCENCE (1993), and WOLF (1994).

Cerise and Vicky crack open some New York Times Number One Best Seller airport novels and talk about how the movies based on them are...completely fine. Full of amazing performances and often mediocre pacing. But we didn't talk about any YA? 9:30 - Tom Clancy's Without Remorse (2021, Stefano Sollima)Cerise and Vicky are pleasantly surprised that this movie is only half as fashy as Tom Clancy's name is wont to imply, and give a big welcome to the show to Michael B Jordan. 31:25 - The Caine Mutiny (1954, Edward Dmytryk) Vicky reads the entire film as a narrative about gay desire and closets, Cerise defends the righteousness of mutineers, and both of them think this movie should've trimmed its runtime. 50:00 - Valley of the Dolls (1967, Mark Robson) Cerise adores Patty Duke's scenery chewing, Vicky is too distressed by the misogyny to even enjoy it, but both start to think about checking out the book 1:09:30 - The Dead Zone (1983, David Cronenberg) Cerise and Vicky freak out with joy at the first good movie they got to watch in two weeks. Do you guys remember good movies? They almost forgot. 1:26:50 - The Russia House (1990, Fred Schepisi) Is this John Le Carre adaptation unfairly forgotten? Yes! Is it a must watch? Oh, no, no.
