RMR 0295: Special Guest, Bob LeMent, of Static Radio, joins your hosts, Dustin Melbardis and Chad Robinson for the Retro Movie Roundtable as they revisit Capricorn One (1977) [PG] Genre: Adventure, Drama, Action, Conspiracy Thriller Starring: Elliott Gould, James Brolin, Brenda Vaccaro, Sam Waterston, O.J. Simpson, Hal Holbrook, Karen Black, Telly Savalas, David Huddleston, David Doyle, Lee Bryant, Denise Nicholas, Robert Walden, James Sikking, Alan Fudge, James Karen, Virginia Kaiser, Nancy Malone, Hank Stohl, Norman Bartold Directed by: Peter Hyams Recorded on 2024-11-19
At the height of World War II, transporting the mail to GIs took a back seat to moving supplies to the front. Soon, millions of letters and packages were piling up with no one to sort them. Commanders reluctantly gave the job to a battalion of Black female soldiers, convinced the task would be too much for them. Despite facing racism and sexism - and grueling working conditions - the women of the Six Triple Eight accomplished their mission, re-establishing an important connection between the homefront and the battlefront. With an ensemble cast featuring Kerry Washington, Susan Sarandon, Sam Waterston, and Oprah Winfrey, The Six Triple Eight is inspired by the real story of the first and only Women's Army Corps unit of color to serve overseas in the Second World War. Given an extraordinary task and united in their determination, these unsung heroes delivered hope and shattered barriers, raising morale on both sides of the Atlantic. In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews writer and director Tyler Perry. SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't watched The Six Triple Eight yet, make sure to add it to your watch-list before listening on. Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts.
Fitzwilly is a 1967 film starring Dick Van Dyke and Barbara Feldon. It's about a scheming butler whose motives are akin to Robin Hood, and the movie is set during the Christmas-to-New Years period, so we figured, why not? Will McKinley joins us to talk about this oft-overlooked film.

Veteran theater and film actor James Sutorius has performed for the most prestigious regional and repertory theater companies including The Old Globe, La Jolla Playhouse, Center Theatre Group, South Coast Repertory, and Pasadena Playhouse. He's also performed at Lincoln Center, Yale Repertory, Long Wharf Theatre, Seattle Repertory, and many more. In 2007, he won two San Diego Theatre Critics Awards for his performance as George in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and for his multiple supporting roles in John Strand's play "Lincolnesque." James made his Broadway debut in 1973 in "The Changing Room." In his very first entrance as a member of a rugby team, he had to walk downstage and strip off all his clothes! Instead of finding the experience terrifying, he actually found it liberating. And he played Laertes opposite Sam Waterston's Hamlet at the Vivian Beaumont Theater, alongside a cast of rising stars including Jane Alexander, Mandy Patinkin, George Hearn and John Heard. Most recently James was seen on Broadway in Aaron Sorkin's play "The Farnsworth Invention" that was directed by Des McAnuff and produced by Steven Spielberg. James was the voice for Ragu Spaghetti Sauce for 17 years, spawning the national catchphrase "Now, THAT'S Italian!" He continues to pitch other products for Coca Cola and Wrangler Jeans. He also lends his distinctive voice to audio books and short story anthologies on tape.On TV, James' break came when he starred as investigative reporter Mike Andros in The Andros Targets. He's also appeared on such well-known TV series as Dynasty, Cannon, Kojak, St. Elsewhere, Family Ties, 21 Jump Street, Murder, She Wrote, L.A. Law, The X Files, Judging Amy, and many others. And he was a regular on Bob Crane's short-lived sitcom, The Bob Crane Show. Additionally, he's appeared in such notable TV movies as: A Death in Canaan, A Question of Love, Skokie, Space, and On Wings of Eagles. In feature films, James can be seen in Dancing as Fast as I Can starring Jill Clayburgh and Windy City with John Shea and Kate Capshaw.
Joe from Films at First Sight and No Film Left Behind joins Caitlin to cover 1994's Serial Mom, the monstrous motherhood classic from John Waters. 2024 marks Serial Mom's 30th anniversary, and we are thrilled to revisit it. We talk about our favorite jokes, our favorite kills, and just how John-Waters-y this movie is. Tangents include: a mini review of Trap, movies we wish we could rewatch for the first time, 2024 horror, black and white movies, dream houses, prank calls, ghost activities, and Joe's pronunciation of water.
Roland Joffe is not a director who's been beloved by critics over the years, but most seem to agree that his magnum opus is the Oscar-winning The Killing Fields. Sam Waterston plays an American journalist in war-torn Cambodia in the aftermath of the Vietnam war, when Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge went on a run of violence---especially against their fellow Cambodians---that was chilling. Haing S. Ngor won the Supporting Actor Oscar as Waterston's interpreter and compatriot who goes through horrors...and manages to make it out alive in this real-life tale of fear, friendship and politics. The Killing Fields is a terrific achievement. It just has to deal with the fact that other films have done similar things in the 40 years since this came out.

On this week's episode of Unclear and Present Danger, Jamelle and John watched Shadow Conspiracy, the 1997 political thriller directed by George P. Cosmatos and starring Charlie Sheen, Linda Hamilton, Donald Sutherland and Sam Waterston.In Shadow Conspiracy, a young White House aide uncovers a plot to assassinate the president, making him a target of the conspirators. What follows is a race to evade the assassin, expose those responsible, and save constitutional government from a shadowy group of deep state operators. If this sounds generic, that's because it is! The movie feels like it was written by ChatGPT. Despite the total absence of anything original, Jamelle and John do find much to discuss in the film, including the ways in which it is rooted in the anti-political ethos of the 1990s.The tagline for Shadow Conspiracy was “Life, liberty and the pursuit of absolute power.”You can find Shadow Conspiracy available to rent or buy on Amazon or Apple TV+. Episodes come out every two weeks so we'll see you then with an episode on Absolute Power, the 1997 political thriller directed by — and starring — Clint Eastwood.And don't forget our Patreon, where we watch the films of the Cold War and try to unpack them as political and historical documents!

It's been 50 years since the release of the 1974 film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, THE GREAT GATSBY. Highlighting the 50th anniversary of the 1974 version of THE GREAT GATSBY is another opportunity to talk with author and professor of English Emily Bernard about this 1920s novel adapted for film and the themes that continue to resonate with our own times. Our conversation with Emily about the film adaptation of Nella Larsen's 1929 novel PASSING in episode 2 of the podcast, remains one of our most popular listens. Directed by Jack Clayton, and featuring Robert Redford as Jay Gatsby, Mia Farrow as Daisy Buchanan, and Sam Waterston as Nick Carraway, the film is a window into the roaring 1920s or the "Jazz Age," as Fitzgerald is credited for coining the phrase. The story is also a mirror on American social constructs for wealth, class, and illusion, as well as the destructive power to recapture the past. ----- Notes: "Negro" is used in its proper historical context in this conversation. *Spoiler alert* for persons who've never seen any film or television adaptation of F.

Well yeah if this film happens to come out the same year as Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind....two BEHEMETHS from this era directed by master filmmakers/household names George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg respectively. Whereas this was directed by Peter Hyams....who actually built up a nice filmography himself over the next ten years including Running Scared, Outland, and 2010: The Year We Make Contact. And this being his breakout success which he also wrote, it has ONE hell of a doozy of a plot....Three astronauts (James Brolin, Sam Waterston, O.J. Simpson) are about to embark on a TRULY historic adventure, THE first manned mission to the planet of Mars! Except they're not actually going to Mars....they're supposed to stay on Earth and ONLY they are to know this. Hmmm....it's a massive space program conspiracy lead by the late, great Hal Holbrook who is orchestrating it from NASA. Fortunately there is ONE brave reporter who is out to uncover the truth and he's played by Elliott Gould. :) And of course don't underestimate the crazy aerial hijinks of a crazy crop-duster pilot played by the late, great Telly Savalas too while you're you're at it. :) Admit to yourself that it sounds intriguing.

For this week's episode of Unclear and Present Danger, Jamelle and John watched “The Enemy Within,” a 1994 remake of John Frankenheimer's “Seven Days in May,” starring Forest Whitaker and Jason Robards. Like the original film, “The Enemy Within” concerns a military plot to depose the president and take control of the U.S. government. Like the original film, our hero is an Army advisor who would rather defend the Constitution than his superiors. And like the original film, the story is a race against the clock as the president and his allies try to stop their adversary, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, from executing his plan.“The Enemy Within” stars Forest Whitaker as Colonel “Mac” Casey, Sam Waterston as President William Foster, Dana Delany as his chief of staff Betsy Corcoran, and Jason Robards as General R. Pendleton Lloyd.The tagline for “The Enemy Within” is “You never know who your enemies are.”You can stream the movie on HBO Max or rent it on iTunes and Amazon. Connor Lynch produced this episode.

Jesse L. Martin finally has his own show, and it's about time. As you might guess, it's a procedural show -- that's what he cut his teeth on. From 1999 to 2008, he starred as Det. Ed Green on "Law & Order." Altogether, he was the fifth longest serving cast member behind S. Epatha Merkerson, Sam Waterston, Jerry Orbach, and Steven Hill. This time, Martin is the star and plays Dr. Alec Mercer. Here's what his new show, "The Irrational," focuses on in his words: "'The Irrational' follows a behavioral psychologist by the name of Alec Mercer, played by myself, Jesse L. Martin. It's just standard procedural with nothing standard about it. You basically follow this guy through his personal life and his professional life, and he has the bonus of being very tuned in on human behavior and the deficit of being very tuned in on human behavior. So you can imagine how much that would affect his personal life, certainly benefits his professional life, but personal life gets a little funny, and therein lies the drama." Alec's crime solving methods do add some fun psychological wrinkles to this procedural formula. The show premieres on NBC in primetime. Check it out. And again, congratulations to Jesse L. Martin. He has always represented us very well. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This podcast goes out to all the Parrot heads out there. Son of a Son of a Sailor is the eighth studio album by Jimmy Buffett, and is the follow-up to his breakout album “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes.” This is Buffett's highest charting album of the 70's, peaking at number 10 in the U.S. Jimmy Buffett was born on Christmas Day, 1946, in Pascagoula, Mississippi. He lived in Mobile and Fairhope, Alabama growing up, and began playing guitar at Auburn. He recorded a country album and went to work at Billboard Magazine in Nashville briefly after college, then moved to Key West to serve as the first mate on the Petticoat III yacht. He would also develop what would become his genre of music while in Key West amongst the sea going vessels.Buffett discovered the profit in touring early, and his focus would turn to live shows as well as other business ventures. Jimmy Buffett is supposedly worth around $550 million today, making him one of the richest musicians in the world.If you're wondering where the term “Parrot Head” comes from, Buffett made a comment in a 1985 concert in Cincinnati about the fans wearing Hawaiian shirts and parrot hats who returned to his concerts again and again. A member of the Coral Reefer Band coined the term "Parrot Head" as a nod to the Dead Heads who followed the Grateful Dead on tour and the name stuck.Bruce brings this Caribbean-infused music this week. Son of a Son of a SailorThis title track opens the album, and was inspired by Buffett's grandfather, James Delaney Buffett. Jimmy Buffett saw a picture of his grandfather standing on the docks in Nova Scotia where his grandfather grew up. He settled as an adult in Mobile, Alabama, and hadn't returned to Nova Scotia until he was 84. The picture showed him looking at an old ailing schooner, and the lyrics reflect looking back on a sailing life and family.MañanaSupposedly this song is about things Buffett did in a week he spent living on his boat in the British Virgin Islands. Mañana means “tomorrow” in Spanish, and can be a term for putting things off indefinitely.Livingston Saturday NightThis is a song about going for a night on the town. It was used in a movie called “Rancho Deluxe,” released in 1975 starring Jeff Bridges and Sam Waterston playing cattle rustlers in Livingston Montana. It also appeared in the 1978 movie "FM."Cheeseburger in ParadiseHere's the big hit from the album. It reached number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100, and is the lead song from Buffett's greatest hits album. The lyrics describe a guy trying to eat healthy, but who can't resist the temptation of the cheeseburger. The song itself was inspired by an event where Buffett was caught out in the Caribbean on a boat with a broken icebox, where he had to live for several days off canned food and peanut butter. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Theme to the motion picture “Which Way Is Up?” by StargardThis comedy starring Richard Pryor was a remake of an Italian comedy from 1972 called “The Seduction of Mimi.” STAFF PICKS:Psycho Killer by The Talking Heads Wayne's staff pick is straight from the CBGB club in Now York City, and is the first "hit" from the Punk/Alternative/New Wave band. While it didn't make it into the top 40, it did crack the top 100. The lyrics represent the thoughts of a serial killer who has already killed and probably will not stop.What's Your Name by Lynyrd SkynyrdRob features a song written by Skynyrd guitarist Gary Rossington inspired by a time when the band was drinking at a hotel bar, got kicked out, and went to a hotel room instead while trying to pick up a groupie. The incident did not happen in Boise, however. Lynyrd Skynyrd had been tragically affected by a plane crash by the time this song was released.Serpentine Fire by Earth, Wind & FireLynch brings us some 70's funk and horns. The name "serpentine fire" comes from a yoga pose. The song hit number 1 on the R&B charts and number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. Earth, Wind & Fire is known for hits upbeat, positive funk.Lovely Day by Bill WithersBruce redeems another great song from Big Pharma. Before Astra Zeneca used this to advertise their drug Farxiga, it was a hit from Bill Withers' 1977 album "Menagerie." Withers wrote this song with Skip Scarborough, and it went to number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100, and number 6 on the Billboard R&B Chart. Withers holds a note for 18 seconds, the longest held note for any top 40 singe.
