Michael Mackie swears there's real magic in living smack-dab in the middle of the map. As an entertainment reporter in Kansas City, he's learned that if you hang around long enough, the famous folks eventually come to you. To this day, he's not entirely sure how he landed interviews with Jennifer Lopez, Samuel L. Jackson, Cameron Diaz, or John Travolta. In You Have 4 Minutes, Michael pulls back the curtain on the wild world of celebrity interviews—why "The Bionic Woman" herself, Lindsay Wagner, left him starstruck, and why Andrew Dice Clay… well, didn't. Beyond the red carpets and sound bites, he opens up about the tougher chapters of his life: the stroke that blindsided him at 40, his battle with alcoholism, and yes—an entire year without refined sugar. Honest, funny, and full of heart, this is Michael's story of asking good questions, surviving hard things, and finding joy in unexpected places—right in the middle of the map.

We start with a game-changing classic. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover star in Lethal Weapon. Second, we explore an underappreciated gem. Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson throw jokes and bullets in The Long Kiss Goodnight. Finally, Shane Black makes his directorial debut in the film that helped revive Robert Downey, Jr.'s career in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

In dieser Folge werfen wir einen wilden Kino-Mix auf den Tisch — von knallharten Straßenrealitäten bis zu Spionage-Thrill, psychoakustischem Horror und metaphysischem Mind-Game!Babo – Die Haftbefehl-Story (2025) — Deutsche Doku über den berüchtigten Rapper Haftbefehl. Wir diskutieren, ob dieses unverblümte Porträt zwischen Erfolg, Absturz und Identität mehr als nur ein Biopic ist — oder ob die Dokumentation uns mit Trauma-Romantisierung zurücklässt.Black Bag (2025) — Spionage-Thriller unter der Regie von Steven Soderbergh mit Cate Blanchett und Michael Fassbender: Geheimdienste, Verrat und moralische Grauzone — wir fragen: Wird „Black Bag“ zum intelligenten Agentenfilm für Erwachsene, oder driftet er in konventionellen Mainstream-Thrill ab? Spannung vs. Anspruch — alles drin.1408 (2007) — Klassiker mit John Cusack und Samuel L. Jackson, ein psychologischer Horrortrip im Spukhotel — wir checken: Wie gut hält der Psycho-Horror heute noch? Funktioniert der Druck, die Paranoia, das beklemmende Setting im Jahr 2025 noch? Und wird 1408 überschätzt oder zurecht verehrt?iHostage (2025) — niederländischer Thriller, inspiriert von wahren Ereignissen: Ein Bewaffneter stürmt einen Apple-Store mitten in Amsterdam, nimmt Geiseln und fordert ein sechs-stelliges Lösegeld in Kryptowährung. Der Film verfolgt das Drama aus verschiedenen Perspektiven — Täter, Geiseln und Polizei.The Materialists (2025) — Konzeptfilm irgendwo zwischen Philosophie & Drama: Wir schauen, ob „The Materialists“ den Spagat schafft zwischen intellektuellem Anspruch und erzählerischer Zugänglichkeit. Wird das philosophische Kino elegant ins Moderne übersetzt — oder versinkt es in der immergleichen Rom-Com?Hausaufgabe für nächste Woche: "After the Hunt" (Amazon Prime) #NapalmAmMorgen

This coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in The Ghosts series at my Payhip store: GHOSTS2025 The coupon code is valid through December 1, 2025. So if you need a new ebook this fall, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 278 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is November 21st, 2025, and today I am sharing my reviews of the movies and streaming shows I saw in Fall 2025. We also have a Coupon of the Week and an update my current writing, audiobook, and publishing projects. So let's start off with Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 25% off all the ebooks in The Ghosts series at my Payhip store, and that is GHOSTS2025. And as always, we'll have the link to my Payhip store and the coupon code in the show notes for this episode. This coupon code is valid through December 1, 2025, so if you need a new ebook for this fall, we have got you covered. Now for my current writing and publishing projects: I'm very pleased to report that Blade of Shadows, the second book in my Blades of Ruin epic fantasy series, is now out. You can get it at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Google Play, Apple Books, Smashwords, and my Payhip store. By the time this episode goes live, all those stores should be available and you can get the book at any one of them and I hope you will read and enjoy it. I'm also 15,000 words into what will be my next main project Wizard-Assassin, the fifth book in the Half-Elven Thief series, and if all goes well, I want that to be out before Christmas. I'm also working on the outline for what will be the third book in the Blades of Ruin series, Blade of Storms, and that will hopefully, if all goes well, be the first book I publish in 2026. In audiobook news, as I mentioned last week, the audiobook of Blade of Flames is done and I believe as of this recording, you can get at my Payhip store, Google Play, Kobo, and I think Spotify. It's not up on Audible or Apple yet, but that should be soon, if all goes well. That is excellently narrated by Brad Wills. Hollis McCarthy is still working on Cloak of Embers. I believe main recording is done for that and it just has to be edited and proofed, so hopefully we'll get both audiobooks to you before the end of the year. So that is where I'm at with my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. 00:02:08 Main Topic of the Week: Autumn 2025 Movie Review Roundup Now on to this week's main project, the Autumn 2025 Movie Review Roundup. I watched a lot of classic horror movies this time around. The old Universal black and white monster movies from the '30s and '40s turned up on Prime for Halloween and I hadn't seen them since I was a kid, so I watched a bunch of them in October and November, which seemed an appropriate thing to do for Halloween. They mostly held up as well as I remembered from when I was a kid, which was a nice surprise. As ever, the grades I give these movies are totally subjective and based on nothing more than my own opinions and thoughts. With that, let's take a look at the movies from least favorite to most favorite. First up is The Other Guys, which came out in 2010 and this is a parody of the buddy cop/ cowboy cop movie along with a heavy critique of the reckless and corrupt culture of late 2000s Wall Street. "Dumb funny" movies I've noticed tend to fall on either side of the "dumb but actually funny" or "dumb and not funny" line. And this one definitely landed on "dumb but actually funny". Danson and Highsmith, played by The Rock and Samuel L. Jackson, are two maverick popular detectives who never do paperwork. Their paperwork is always done by Allen Gamble, who's played by Will Ferrell and Terry Hoitz, played by Mark Wahlberg. Gamble is a mild-mannered forensic accountant, while Hoitz desperately wants to be as cool as either Danson or Highsmith, but since he accidentally shot Yankees player Derek Jeter (in a recurring gag), he's a pariah within the New York Police Department. However, Danon and Highsmith's plot armor suddenly run out and they accidentally kill themselves in a darkly hilarious scene that made me laugh so much I hurt a little. Hoitz wants to step into their shoes, but Gamble has stumbled onto potentially dangerous case and soon Hoitz and Gamble have to overcome their difficulties and unravel a complicated financial crime. This was pretty funny and I enjoyed it. Amusingly in real life, someone like Gamble would be massively respected in whatever law enforcement agency he works for, since someone who prepares ironclad paperwork and correct documentation that stands up in court is an invaluable asset in law enforcement work. Overall Grade: B Next up is Fantastic Four: First Steps, which came out in 2025. I like this though, to be honest, I liked Thunderbolts and Superman 2025 better. I think my difficulty is I never really understood The Fantastic Four as a concept and why they're appealing. Maybe the Fantastic Four are one of those things you just have to imprint on when you're a kid to really enjoy or maybe at my age, the sort of retro futurism of the Four, the idea that science, technology, and rational thought will solve all our problems does seem a bit naive after the last 65 years of history or so. Additionally, the idea of a naked silver space alien riding a surfboard does seem kind of ridiculous. Anyway, the movie glides over the origin story of Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm and gets right into it. To their surprise, Reed and Sue find out that Sue is pregnant, which seemed unlikely due to their superpower induced genetic mutations. Shortly after that, the Silver Surfer arrives and announces that Earth will be devoured by Galactus. The Four travel in their spaceship to confront Galactus and realize that he's a foe far beyond their power, but Galactus offers them a bargain. If Reed and Sue give him their son, he will leave Earth in peace. They refuse and so it's up to the Four to figure out a way to save Earth and Reed and Sue's son. Pretty solid superhero movie all told, but it is amusing how in every version of the character, Reed Richards is allegedly the smartest man on Earth but still can't keep his mouth shut to save his life. Overall Grade: B The next movie is Superman, which came out in 1978. After seeing the 2025 version of Superman, I decided to watch the old one from the '70s. It's kind of a classic because it was one of the progenitors of the modern superhero film. Interestingly, it was one of the most expensive films ever made at that time, costing about $55 million in '70s-era dollars, which are much less inflated than today. A rough back of the envelope calculation would put 55 million in the '70s worth at about $272 million today, give or take. Anyway, this was a big gamble, but it paid off for the producers since they got $300 million back, which would be like around $1.4 billion in 2025 money. Anyway, the movie tells the origin story of Superman, how his father Jor-El knows that Krypton is doomed, so he sends Kal-El to Earth. Kal-El is raised as Clark Kent by his adoptive Kansas parents and uses his powers to become Superman- defender of truth, justice, and the American way. Superman must balance his growing feelings for ace reporter Lois Lane with his need for a secret identity and the necessity of stopping Lex Luthor's dangerous schemes. Christopher Reeve was an excellent Superman and the special effects were impressive by the standards of 1978, but I think the weakest part of the movie were the villains. Lex Luthor just seemed comedic and not at all that threatening. Unexpected fun fact: Mario Puzio, author of The Godfather, wrote the screenplay. Overall Grade: B Next up is Superman II, which came out in 1980. This is a direct sequel to the previous movie. When Superman stops terrorists from detonating a nuclear bomb by throwing it into space, the blast releases the evil Kryptonian General Zod and his minions from their prison and they decide to conquer Earth. Meanwhile, Superman is falling deeper in love with the Lois Lane and unknowing of the threat from Zod, decides to renounce his powers to live with Lois as an ordinary man. I think this had the same strengths and weaknesses as the first movie. Christopher Reeve was an excellent Superman. The special effects were impressive by the standards of the 1980s, but the villains remained kind of comedic goofballs. Additionally, and while this will sound harsh, this version of Lois Lane was kind of dumb and her main function in the plot was to generate problems for Superman via her questionable decisions. Like at the end, Superman has to wipe her memory because she can't keep his secret identity to herself. If this version of Lois Lane lived today, she'd be oversharing everything she ever thought or heard on TikTok. The 2025 movie version of Lois, by contrast, bullies Mr. Terrific into lending her his flying saucer so she can rescue Superman when he's in trouble and is instrumental in destroying Lex Luthor's public image and triggering his downfall. 1970s Louis would've just had a meltdown and made things worse until Superman could get around to rescuing her. Overall, I would say the 1978 movie was too goofy, the Zac Snyder Superman movies were too grimdark, but the 2025 Superman hit the right balance between goofy and serious. Overall Grade: B Next up is Dracula, which came out in 1931, and this was one of the earliest horror movies ever made and also one of the earliest movies ever produced with sound. It is a very compressed adaptation of the stage version of Dracula. Imagine the theatrical stage version of Dracula, but then imagine that the movie was only 70 minutes long, so you have to cut a lot to fit the story into those 70 minutes. So if you haven't read the book, Dracula the movie from 1931 will not make a lot of sense. It's almost like the "Cliff's Notes Fast Run" version of Dracula. That said, Bela Lugosi's famous performance as Dracula really carries the movie. Like Boris Karloff in Frankenstein and The Mummy (which we'll talk about shortly), Bela Lugosi really captures the uncanny valley aspect of Dracula because the count isn't human anymore and has all these little tics of a creature that isn't human but only pretending to be one. Edward Van Sloan's performance as Dr. Van Helsing is likewise good and helped define the character in the public eye. So worth watching as a historical artifact, but I think some of the other Universal monster movies (which we'll discuss shortly) are much stronger. Overall Grade: B Next up is The Horror of Dracula, which came out in 1958. This is one of the first of the Hammer Horror movies from the '50s, starring Peter Cushing as Dr. Van Helsing and Christopher Lee as Count Dracula. It's also apparently the first vampire movie ever made in color. Like the 1931 version of Dracula, it's a condensed version of the story, though frankly, I think it hangs together a little better. Van Helsing is a bit more of an action hero in this one, since in the end he engages Dracula in fisticuffs. The movie is essentially carried by the charisma of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee and worth watching as a good example of a classic '50s horror movie. Overall Grade: B Next up is The Wolf Man, which came out in 1941. This is another one of the classic Universal horror movies. This one features Lon Cheney Jr. as Larry Talbot, the younger son of Sir John Talbot. Larry's older brother died in a hunting accident, so Larry comes home to reconcile with his father and take up his duties as the family heir. Larry is kind of an amiable Average Joe and is immediately smitten with the prettiest girl in the village, but when he takes her out for a walk, they're attacked by a werewolf, who bites Larry. Larry and everyone else in the village do not believe in werewolves, but they're about to have their minds changed the hard way. The transformation sequences where Larry turns into the Wolfman were cutting edge of the time, though poor Lon Chaney Jr had to stay motionless for hours as they gradually glued yak hair to him. I think Claude Rains had the best performance in the movie as Sir John and he's almost the co-protagonist. Overall Grade: B Next up is Jurassic World: Rebirth, which came out in 2025, which I thought was a perfectly straightforward but nonetheless enjoyable adventure film. After all the many disasters caused by various genetic engineering experiments in the previous movies, dinosaurs mostly live in relatively compatible ecosystems and tropical zones near the equator. No one's looking to create a theme park with dinosaurs or create bioengineered dinosaurs as military assets any longer. However, the dinosaurs are still valuable for research and a pharmaceutical company is developing a revolutionary drug for treating cardiac disease. They just need some dinosaur blood from three of the largest species to finish it, and so the company hires a team of mercenaries to retrieve the blood. We have the usual Jurassic Park style story tropes: the savvy mercenary leader, the scientist protesting the ethics of it all, the sinister corporate executive, the troubled family getting sucked into the chaos. And of course, it all goes wrong and there are lots and lots of dinosaurs running around. It's all been done before of course, but this was done well and was entertaining. Overall Grade: B+ Next up is The Thursday Murder Club, which came out in 2025, and this is a cozy mystery set in a very high-end retirement home. Retired nurse Joyce moves into Coopers Chase, the aforementioned high end retirement home. Looking to make new friends, she falls in with a former MI6 agent named Liz, a retired trade unionist named Ron, and psychiatrist Ibrahim, who have what they call The Thursday Murder Club, where they look into cold cases and attempt to solve them. However, things are not all sunshine and light at Coopers Chase as the two owners of the building have fallen out. When one of them is murdered, The Thursday Murder Club has to solve a real murder before Coopers Chase is bulldozed to make high-end apartments. A good cozy mystery with high caliber acting talent. Both Pierce Brosnan and Jonathan Price are in the movie and regrettably do not share a scene together, because that would've been hilarious since they were both in the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies in the '90s with Brosnan as Bond and Price as the Bond villain for the movie. Overall Grade: B+ Next up is The Creature From the Black Lagoon, which came out in 1954 and is one of the last of the black and white classic horror movies since in the '50s, color film was just around the corner. When a scientist finds the unusual half fish, half human fossil on a riverbank in Brazil, he decides to organize an expedition upriver to see if he can find the rest of the fossil. The trail leads his expedition to the mysterious Black Lagoon, which all the locals avoid because of its bad reputation, but a living member of the species that produce the fossils lurking the lagoon while it normally doesn't welcome visitors, it does like the one female member of the expedition and decides to claim her for its own. The creature was good monster and the underwater water sequences were impressive by the standards of the 1950s. Overall Grade: A- Next up is The Invisible Man, which came out in 1933, and this is another of the classic Universal black and white horror movies. Jack Griffin is a scientist who discovered a chemical formula for invisibility. Unfortunately, one of the drugs in his formula causes homicidal insanity, so he becomes a megalomaniac who wants to use his invisibility to rule the world. This causes Griffin to overlook the numerous weaknesses of his invisibility, which allow the police to hunt him down. The Invisible Man's special effects were state of the art at the time and definitely hold up nearly a hundred years later. It's worth watching as another classic of the genre. Claude Rains plays Griffin, and as with The Wolf Man, his performance as Griffin descends into homicidal insanity is one of the strengths of the movie. Overall Grade: A- Next up is The Mummy, which came out in 1932, and this is another of the original Universal black and white horror movies. Boris Karloff plays the Mummy, who is the ancient Egyptian priest Imhotep, who was mummified alive for the crime of desiring the Pharaoh's daughter Ankh-es-en-Amon. After 3,000 years, Imhotep is accidentally brought back to life when an archeologist reads a magical spell and Imhotep sets out immediately to find the reincarnation of his beloved and transform her into a mummy as well so they can live together forever as undead. Edward Van Sloan plays Dr. Mueller, who is basically Edward Van Sloan's Van Helsing from Dracula if Van Helsing specialized in mummy hunting rather than vampire hunting. This version of the Mummy acts more like a Dungeons and Dragons lich instead of the now classic image of a shambling mummy in dragging bandages. That said, Boris Karloff is an excellent physical actor. As he does with Frankenstein, he brings Imhotep to life. His performance captures the essence of a creature that hasn't been human for a very long time, is trying to pretend to be human, and isn't quite getting there. Of course, the plot was reused for the 1999 version of The Mummy with Brendan Fraser. That was excellent and this is as well. Overall Grade: A- Next up is The Wedding Singer, which came out in 1998, and this is basically the Adam Sandler version of a Hallmark movie. Adam Sandler plays Robbie, a formerly famous musician whose career has lapsed and has become a wedding singer and a venue singer. He befriends the new waitress Julia at the venue, played by Drew Barrymore. The day after that, Robbie's abandoned at the altar by his fiancée, which is understandably devastating. Meanwhile, Julia's fiancé Glenn proposes to her and Robbie agrees to help her with the wedding planning since he's an expert in the area and knows all the local vendors. However, in the process, Robbie and Julia fall in love, but are in denial about the fact, a situation made more tense when Robbie realizes Glenn is cheating on Julia and intends to continue to do so after the wedding. So it's basically a Hallmark movie filtered through the comedic sensibilities of Adam Sandler. It was very funny and Steve Buscemi always does great side characters in Adam Sandler movies. Overall Grade: A Next up is Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, which came out in 2025. This movie was sort of a self-indulgent victory lap, but it was earned. The writers of the sitcom Community used to joke that they wanted "six seasons and a movie" and Downton Abbey got "six seasons and three movies". Anyway, this movie is about handing off things to the next generation. Lord Grantham is reluctant to fully retire as his daughter goes through a scandal related to her divorce. The next generation of servants take over as the previous ones ease into retirement. What's interesting is both the nobles and the servants are fully aware that they're sort of LARPing a historical relic by this point because by 1930, grand country houses like Downton were increasingly rare in the UK since World War I wiped out most of them and crippling post-war taxes and economic disruption finished off many more. Anyway, if you like Downton Abbey, you like this movie. Overall Grade: A Next up is Argo, which came out in 2012, a very tense thriller about the Iranian hostage crisis in 1979. During that particular crisis, six Americans escaped the embassy and hid out at the Canadian Ambassador's house in Tehran. For obvious reasons, the Canadian ambassador wanted them out as quickly as possible, so the CIA and the State Department needed to cook up a plan to get the six out while the rest of the government tried to figure out what to do about the larger group of hostages. Finally, the government comes with "Argo." A CIA operative will create a fake film crew, a fake film company, and smuggle the six out of Tehran as part of the production. The movie was very tense and very well constructed, even if you know the outcome in advance if you know a little bit of history. Ben Affleck directed and starred, and this was in my opinion one of his best performances. It did take some liberties with historical accuracy, but nonetheless, a very tense political thriller/heist movie with some moments of very dark comedy. Overall Grade: A Next up is The Naked Gun, which came out in 2025, and this is a pitch perfect parody of the gritty cop movie with a lot of absurdist humor, which works well because Liam Neeson brings his grim action persona to the movie and it works really well with the comedy. Neeson plays Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr., the son of the original Frank Drebin from The Naked Gun movies back in the '80s. After stopping a bank robbery, Drebin finds himself investigating the suicide of an engineer for the sinister tech mogul Richard Cane. Naturally, the suicide isn't what it appears and when the engineer's mysterious but seductive sister asks for Drebin's help, he pushes deeper into the case. Richard Cane was a hilarious villain because the writers couldn't decide which tech billionaire to parody with him, so they kind of parodied all the tech billionaires at once, and I kid you not, the original Frank Drebin makes an appearance as a magical owl. It was hilarious. Overall Grade: A Now for my two favorite things I saw in Autumn 2025. The first is the combination of Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein, which came out in 1931 and 1935. These are two separate movies, but Frankenstein leads directly to Bride of Frankenstein, so I'm going to treat them as one movie. Honestly, I think they're two halves of the same story the way that Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame would be two halves of the same story 90 years later, so I'll review them as one. Frankenstein by itself on its own will get a B. Colin Clive's performance is Dr. Henry Frankenstein was great, and Boris Karloff gives the Creature a suitable air of menace and uncanny valley. You really feel like he's something that's been brought to life but isn't quite right and still extremely dangerous. The movie does have a very pat ending that implies everyone will live happily ever after, with Dr. Frankenstein's father giving a toast to his son. But Bride of Frankenstein takes everything from the first movie and improves on it. It's one of those sequels that actually makes the preceding movie better. In Bride, Henry is recovering from his ordeal and swears off his experiments of trying to create artificial humans, but the Creature survived the fire at the windmill at the end of the last movie and is seeking for a new purpose. Meanwhile, Henry receives a visit from his previous mentor, the sinister Dr. Pretorius. Like Henry, Pretorius succeeded in creating artificial life and now he wants to work with Henry to perfect their work, but Henry refuses, horrified by the consequences of his previous experiments. Pretorius, undaunted, makes an alliance with the Creature, who then kidnaps Henry's wife. This will let Pretorius force Henry to work on their ultimate work together-a bride for the Creature. Bride of Frankenstein is a lot tighter than Frankenstein. It was surprising to see how rapidly filmmaking techniques evolved over just four years. Pretorius is an excellent villain, more evil wizard than mad scientist, and the scene where he calmly and effortlessly persuades the Creature to his side was excellent. One amusing note, Bride was framed as Mary Shelley telling the second half of the story to her friends, and then the actress playing Mary Shelley, Elsa Lancaster, also played the Bride. So that was a funny bit of meta humor. Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein combined is one of my two favorite movies of Fall 2025. Overall Grade: A+ And now for my second favorite movie of Autumn 2025, which as it turns out is also Frankenstein, but Guillermo del Toro's version that came out in 2025. And honestly, I think Guillermo del Toro's version of Frankenstein is the best version put to screen so far and even does the rarest of all feats, it improves a little on the original novel. Oscar Isaac plays Victor Frankenstein as a brilliant, driven scientist with something of a sociopathic edge. In other words, he's a man who's utterly inadequate to the task when his experiment succeeds and he actually creates an artificial human that have assembled dead body parts. Jacob Elordi does a good job as the Creature, playing him is essentially a good hearted man who's driven to violence and despair by the cruelty and rejection of the world. The recurring question of the Frankenstein mythos is whether or not Victor Frankenstein is the real monster. In this version, he definitely is, though he gets a chance to repent of his evil by the end. Honestly, everything about this was good. The performances, the cinematography, everything. How good was it? It was so good that I will waive my usual one grade penalty for unnecessary nudity since there were a few brief scenes of it. Overall Grade: A+ So that was the Autumn 2025 Movie Roundup. A lot of good movies this time around. While some movies of course were better than others, I didn't see anything I actively disliked, which is always nice. So that's it for this week. Thanks for listening to The Pulp Writer Show.

There was a time when hyper-violent, sexually charged OVAs ruled the Japanese home-video market—and few creators embodied that era more than Yasuomi Umetsu, the director behind Kite and Mezzo Forte. Kite even spawned an American live-action remake starring Samuel L. Jackson (which… let's be honest, barely anyone saw).Now, Umetsu is back. His latest work just hit U.S. theaters last week, and we're breaking down exactly what we thought of it.
The villain isn't a stand in for the hero's shadow. The villain is a warning to the hero if the hero doesn't learn to integrate their shadow. The Incredibles is storytelling gold and a very clear example of the role of the villain and hero plus their relationship to the hero's shadow. Of course, every good superhero movie needs a hero's monologue and The Incredibles delivers.

In this fascinating episode, Elisabeth speaks with Jo Katsaras, a world-renowned Costume Designer whose visionary work has graced some of Hollywood's beloved films and series.Born in Cyprus, Jo moved to South Africa at the age of five — a cultural fusion that would later define her unique artistic style. Growing up in vibrant 1970s Johannesburg, Jo's creative journey began early. She spent her childhood summers in Cyprus, cutting fabric scraps from her aunt's sewing projects to make dresses for her dolls. By the time she was a teenager, she was already cutting patterns around her friends, driven by an instinctive flair for design.After studying at the National School of Arts in Johannesburg, Jo briefly considered architecture but decided instead to explore the world, a decision that ultimately shaped her creative destiny. At her father's insistence, she pursued a qualification in fashion, completing a three-year diploma in just one year thanks to her extraordinary talent.Jo's career began in the fashion industry as a Senior Designer, but her passion for storytelling through clothing soon drew her to the world of film. Her debut as a Costume Designer came with the South African box office hit There's a Zulu on My Stoep (Yankee Zulu internationally), and from there, her rise was nothing short of meteoric.She went on to design for acclaimed international productions including:
Em Canton, no Mississipi, dois brancos espancam e es**pram uma menina negra de dez anos. Eles são presos, mas quando estão sendo levados ao tribunal para terem o valor da sua fiança decretada o pai da garota (Samuel L. Jackson) decide fazer justiça com as próprias mãos e mata os dois na frente de diversas testemunhas, além de acidentalmente ferir seriamente um policial. Ele é preso rapidamente, mas a cidade se torna um barril de pólvora e, além do mais, a defesa tem de se defrontar com um juiz que não permite que no julgamento se mencione a razão que fez o pai cometer o duplo homicídio, pois o julgamento é de assassinato e não de estupro.PIX: canalfilmesegames@gmail.comSiga o Filmes e Games:Instagram: filmesegames Facebook: filmesegames Twitter: filmesegamesSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5KfJKthPodcast: https://anchor.fm/fgcastIntro - 0:00Ai Tái tchu kiu - 6:33O que é "Tempo de Matar" - 7:33Notas dos agregadores - 8:35José Barona, vencedor da FGcup - 9:07Tirando o bode da sala - 12:43Notas do Filmes e Games - 49:50Bilheteria - 52:18Momento Locadora - 56:16Revelação do FGcast #401 - 1:33:20Dicas do FGcast #402 - 1:45:28
Pour ce rôle, Samuel L. Jackson avait passé un premier casting. Alors quand il est rappelé pour la deuxième audition, il s'y rend confiant, pensant que c'est une formalité. Sauf qu'en déboulant au casting, il y a un autre acteur dans la salle d'attente qui lui aussi a été convoqué. Il a donc un concurrent...

INTRO:I'm Hank, a nineteen year podcasting veteran, filmmaker, and YouTuber, and this is my review of Disney's Tron: Ares.This is a spoiler-filled review of the movie so if that's not your cup of tea this review won't be for you. Note: I saw this movie in 3D and I have never seen Tron: Legacy. I'm neither a Tron fan nor do I know much about the lore.BUDGET:$180-$220 million for production and another $100-ish million for marketing. We're looking at around $300 million dollars when it's all said and done. Three weeks in and we're at about roughly $125 million. OUCH! Profitability is way out of reach.SETTINGS:The world of Tron: Ares is pristine! The saturated colors jump off the screen even in the often dark settings. I found the visuals of this movie to actually match the inflated budget. Moreover, even the regular settings were shot with depth and attention to detail that is simply missing in most modern movies.CHARACTERS:I'm not going to reflect on all the characters, but I'll talk about the main cast.Jared Leto plays the one note Ares computer program that comes to life via the permanence code. I've heard a lot about how bland the Ares character is and I thought to myself how would I direct an actor to convey lines as a computer program made real? Probably just as stilted as his delivery. Could you have made the character be the one “special” character who delivers lines in a human way to set him apart from the others? I'm sure you could, but the way he delivered the lines, while bland, is probably the most logical course. I did like how he questioned what was happening, but those nuanced lines seem lost on many moviegoers. Greta Lee plays Eve Kim the CEO of ENCOM who is trying to find Kevin Flynn's "permanence code" to use for humanitarian purposes. While the character type has been done to death I did find myself having a soft spot for her based on her arc being tied to the death of her sister Tess. Her purpose driven story made sense but has been done ad nauseum. Jodie Turner-Smith as Athena seemed to finally be a role that worked for her. She's basically a 3D printed Terminator and I liked that they didn't stray from her mission and try to make her likeable.Evan Peters as Julian Dillinger was where the wheels started to come off of this movie. This tech billionaire trope is even worse than the Eve Kim checkbox character.Gillian Anderson's Elisabeth Dillinger was a waste in my opinion. She should have played the antagonist and been desperate to cement her legacy and then let things go off the rails from there. I'd of yeeted Evan Peters from the film faster than my ex can make a box of Girl Scout cookies disappear.Jeff Bridges (Kevin Flynn) is the white Samuel L. Jackson. He has devolved to a caricature. Arturo Castro as Seth Flores is simply miscast. That character has to be much younger in my opinion. Instead of a 40-year old, I'm casting someone in their early to mid 20's. HITS:The overall visuals are astounding! There's simply too much eye candy to ignore. From the suits, to the literal hacking where programs fight each other, I was blown away by the look and style of the film.I found the 3D printing insertion into the story to be both timely and cool. The effects for laser printing things in the real world were especially awesome.The 29 minute time limit for Ares and the others coming through to the real world was an idea I really liked. It reminded me of the recording limits back in the early 2010's where cameras that could record for 30 minutes or more were taxed at a higher rate than cameras that recorded for less than 30 minutes. It could be a nerdy deep cut

Just over a year after the runaway success of his previous effort, The Sixth Sense, Oscar-nominated writer/director M. Night Shyamalan decided to follow it up with this genuinely unique thriller which had decent reviews and solid box office but was considered a bit of a disappointment mainly because the story was not at all what many audiences expected. However over time, it developed enough of a following that the filmmaker evetually decided to make a proper sequel. This is the strange tale of David Dunn (Bruce Willis), a mild-mannered security officer who has just survived a horrific train crash. No one really understands why or how he was the ONLY survivor of an incident which resulted in the deaths of every one else on board, except......one eccentric comic book art collected/store owner named Elijah Price (Samuel) who might have a theory. Their lives become intertwined and what results is a genuinely original tale of good and evil.

Aujourdʹhui dans Travelling, un western spaghetti pas vraiment spaghetti vu quʹil est le fait dʹun réalisateur américain, jʹai nommé Quentin Tarantino. Mais lʹhomme est amoureux des westerns à lʹitalienne, un genre particulier, quʹil remet au goût du jour en 2012 avec Django Unchained. Un western cinéphile qui multiplie les références au genre, où la violence sʹinscrit en lettres de sang sur toutes les images, où lʹhumour déferle, où lʹon parle de vengeance, de chasse à lʹhomme, mais surtout dʹesclavage à lʹaube de la guerre civile américaine. Lʹhistoire est celle dʹun chasseur de prime allemand, le Docteur King Schultz, qui sʹassocie à un esclave afro-américain, Django, le temps dʹun hiver, lʹaffranchit, devient son ami, et tous deux se mettent ensuite en quête de la femme de Django, achetée par un propriétaire dʹune plantation dans le Mississipi. Quentin Tarantino reste fidèle à ses principes cinématographiques, stylisant lʹultra-violence, jouant des codes, multipliant les références, sʹamusant à glisser ici et là des anachronismes, le tout pour pouvoir regarder en face un pan terrible de lʹhistoire de lʹAmérique. Django Unchained dénonce le principe de lʹesclavage et le racisme. Toute les formes de barbarisme y passent dans un maelström talentueux où lʹinhumanité et la bêtise sont dénoncées. Avec la vengeance comme moteur, cette espèce de road-movie western-spaghetti est une formidable catharsis, porté par des acteurs de talent, Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson, Leonardo DiCaprio notamment. Django Unchained est récompensé de deux Oscars, celui du meilleur scénario original pour Quentin Tarantino et celui du meilleur acteur dans un second rôle pour Christoph Waltz. A sortie, le film rencontre un énorme succès public. Mais certains, comme le réalisateur Spike Lee, dénonce le traitement de lʹesclavage sous forme dʹun western spaghetti, dʹautres jugent choquant et offensant lʹutilisation du terme nigger, nègre, qui revient tout le temps dans le film et certains conservateurs parlent de sectarisme anti-blanc. Mais nous allons vous raconter tout ça. Aujourdʹhui, dans Travelling, cʹest Django Unchained qui déchaine les propos. Nous avons des archives, des anecdotes, des extraits et évidemment la BO du film. On ne passe pas à côté dʹun BO dʹun Tarantino. Il ne nous reste plus que le Dr. Schultz délivre Django et nous pouvons commencer.

Our twice-missed classics season (which is quickly shaping up to be the unintentional 'hot' season) continues with a certified Spike Lee joint.Summer may have just ended in real life, but let's roll it back to the hottest days of the year.
"Double-Shafted September" concludes with our look at Shaft, the second reboot of Shaft, following Shaft. Yeah, ok, this is pretty confusing without the years, isn't it? Just to be clear, this is the 2019 version, another attempt to kick-start a version of the franchise with Samuel L. Jackson as John Shaft, Jr. But this time, he's not alone, as the actual, ostensible main character is actually Jr's son, John "JJ" Shaft III, played by The Boys' Jessie T. Usher. JJ is a new kind of Shaft, a nerdy, millennial tech-expert working for the FBI. But when he decides to conduct a personal investigation into the death of a close friend, JJ is forced to team up with his absentee, old-fashioned, private eye father. If you think this sounds like a goofy "buddy cop" premise, you're not wrong, as the 2019 Shaft attempts to take the series in a more comedy-based direction. Is it successful as a comedy? Is it successful as a Shaft movie? Is it even successful as a sequel to the previous Shaft? We discuss all this, and more, as we once again get double-shafted.

Hooooooo, boy. Time for some early 90's race relations in a surprisingly funny comedy starring Nic Cage and Samuel L Jackson. Cage Dancer Freeman joins us to review one of just five movies by E.

The Stephen King celebration continues! This month, The Filmlosophers—Hosts Eddie and Spencer, and Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy—take on another of the King of Horror's lesser-celebrated works: his 2016 film adaptation, "Cell". The crew will dissect this unique take on a technological apocalypse, exploring how the film attempts to translate King's commentary on our phone-obsessed world to the big screen. They'll break down the performances, the production, and what makes this film a "fascinating" footnote in the King cinematic universe. Is it a misunderstood gem or a cautionary tale of a missed opportunity? Adding a truly odd twist to the episode, Spencer and Amy will recount a bizarre outing to a local historic theater where they joined a surprisingly lively (and rowdy) showing of the vampiric cult classic, "New Moon". They'll share stories of the strange audience participation and ponder the bizarre phenomenon of a film's second life as a communal, albeit ironic, experience. Join The Filmlosophers for a discussion that's part King deep dive and part nostalgic, comedic look at a theatrical event unlike any other.

Dive into the wild, unfiltered energy of a livestream from Gephart's Beer Culture in NYC, where bar owner Matt, comedian Chris Ferretti, and larger-than-life locals Terrell and Daisy (aka Ducati Barbie) trade crude jokes, personal stories, and cosmic conspiracies. From gripes about street paving dust to debates over a Phillies game ball-snatching controversy, the crew veers into tales of kleptomaniac mothers, Rochester ghetto parties, and psychedelic visions of the Big Bang. Terrell's Samuel L. Jackson-style roasts and Daisy's freestyle dance moves collide with discussions of “3i Atlas,” a mysterious alien object, and the Hofbrau Dunkle beer of the week. This raw, hilarious, and slightly unhinged podcast captures the heart of NYC barroom banter, blending local chaos, family dysfunction, and extraterrestrial speculation in a whirlwind of laughter and profanity.
This episode's focal point is a film that could have been picked by any of the three hosts of this show. Alas it was Govier who selected this third installment in a popular action series.

Are you ready to be shafted? No? Well, how about...double-shafted?? Cause we're kicking off "Double-Shafted September," a two-episode series dedicated to both attempts to relaunch the iconic Blaxploitation franchise that started with 1971's Shaft. First up, we're looking at 2000's Shaft (yep, same name), directed by John Singleton, and starring Hollywood's biggest badass M'Fer, Samuel L. Jackson. In this updated version, Jackson plays John Shaft, the nephew of Richard Roundtree's original John Shaft, this time an NYC detective working to bring the wealthy perpetrator of a heinous race-crime (Christian Bale) to justice. But standing in his way is a vindictive local gangster (Jeffrey Wright)...and a troubled behind-the-scenes production which frustrated many involved with making the movie. Is this Shaft as sexy and cool as the original? Was Samuel L. Jackson the right man to inherit the role? And can a supporting performance be both problematic and still arguably the best thing about the movie? We discuss all this, and more!

“This gun says you live, this gun says you die.” Join Ian & Liam for our 295th episode as we step into Tarantino's world of money drops, double-crosses, and smooth soul soundtracks with Jackie Brown (1997). Kev? He's running a cash pickup at the mall but got distracted by an Orange Julius. Megs? She's busy cutting a deal with Ordell Robbie that may or may not involve a new handbag. But don't worry—we're not flying solo. We're joined by BFF of the BFE: Shai Bergerfroind, who slipped us a cassette tape of Delfonics tunes and insisted this was the Tarantino film to talk about. This week we discuss: How Jackie Brown might be Tarantino's most mature film—and why it doesn't get the same love as Pulp Fiction. Pam Grier's powerhouse performance: is this one of the greatest star comebacks in cinema history? Robert De Niro as the quietest ex-con ever—and how a single scene changes everything. Samuel L. Jackson's Ordell: terrifying or hilarious, or both at once? Is this the most “realistic” Tarantino film? And does that make it better or just slower? Ian and Liam debate whether this film is about survival, romance, or just getting by. Shai drops in to explain why the soundtrack is the real star of the film (and why he's been humming Delfonics all week). Which scenes had us holding our breath—and which ones could've been trimmed. Why Max Cherry might be Tarantino's most underrated character—and how Robert Forster's quiet dignity steals the show. And finally, whether Jackie Brown is the Best Film Ever—or just the coolest hangout movie you forgot you loved. Become a Patron of this podcast and support the BFE at https://www.patreon.com/BFE.

Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us. This season we're watching a bunch of M Night Shyamalan movies. This episode we watched Unbreakable and next time we'll be back with Signs. Unbreakable is a movie I had basically never heard of, so that's fun. In a million years I couldn't have told you that M Night immediately followed up on the success of The Sixth Sense with another Bruce Willis movie. And it's a superhero movie. I think you could fairly call it the first modern superhero movie but I've got nothing to back that up with. I can tell you it really feels like a prototype for all the pre-iron man superhero movies of the 00s. Bruce Willis plays David Dunn, a security guard failing as a husband and a father who has to come to terms with the fact that he has superpowers, under the guidance of Samuel L Jackson's mysterious and wealthy character Elijah Price. Featuring Keith Carberry (@KeithJCarberry, @KeithJCarberry), Sylvi Bullet (@SYLVIBULLET), Ali Acampora (@Ali-online) and Arthur Martinez-Tebbel (@amtebbel) Produced by Keith Carberry Music by Jack de Quidt (available at notquitereal.bandcamp.com) Cover Art by by Annie Johnston-Glick (@dancynrew) anniejg.com To find the screenshots for this episode, check out this post on our patreon, friendsatthetable.cash This episode was made with support from listeners like you!
