that he doesand one of those characters that you really have a kind of complex relationship with in terms of how you feel about you can go from being like oh my gosh I feel so bad for this person Ihave sympathy based on situations in their past to feeling like oh my gosh this person is unjustified in their actions, and I absolutely hate this character.He does it in a way where you really get some of those subtle nuances coming out in his performance, and I just think it's a top-tier performance.[15:12] Yeah, and he had to be really subtle, too, like you said. Especially he had to use facial expressions, but really subtle facial expressions.His tone of voice had to be a certain way.Especially in the earlier seasons, he had to play it a lot more stoic. Yeah.And as the series progressed, he was a little more animated.But especially at the beginning of the series, there was almost like this enigma.I mean, that was probably part of the point. But this enigma, and Jon Hamm had to play it like that. So there wasn't really a lot of time for slapstick comedy in his performance, right?And so what makes him a really compelling SNL host is that he came from that dramatic background with Mad Men that really got Jon Hamm on the scene.And I'm wondering, because as an SNL viewer, Jamie, I mean, how fun is it to feel surprised by a host? because I feel a lot of people were surprised by Jon Hamm.So as an SNL viewer, how fun is that when you see a host and they surprise you?Like to me, it's one of the things that makes following the show so rewarding.[16:22] Agreed. Yeah, I think it's one of the best things, right?Like it's there are times when you go into a host and you know what to expect.And that's great. And that's solid.But I feel like those like really special moments come when you go in, you're not sure what to expect.Or maybe you see a host known for one genre and you're not sure are they going to be able to deliver on the comedy side and I feel like with with John John Hamm in particular like hewas somebody who was known dramatic actor at that point and maybe a question of how will this go how will he hack it in in a true kind of live sketch comedy atmosphere and.[17:02] And that is one of the most fun things about this show.I always have to learn my lesson time and time again, that a lot of times the really good dramatic actors are some of the best SNL hosts.For sure. Like, yeah, I can totally see an alternate universe where Jon Hamm was a comedic actor.I mean, maybe his looks might be a little bit of a detriment.I feel like figuring out the right way to, like, cast him in comedic roles.Roles but i mean i think it it happened that mad men became a very successful tv show and that's how people were introduced to him but in an alternate universe maybe a comedic rolewould have been his breakout and then we would have been surprised to see him do a show like mad men 10 years into his career and be like oh my gosh this hilarious guy is also anincredible actor so it's just kind of funny how it how it works out yeah i agree with you the tape it could have been been total reverse we found out over the years that John really enjoyscomedy I mean he's been he had a role in Bridesmaids that was really funny like while he was playing Don Draper he was he was uh Kristen Wiig's uh jerk boyfriend yeah in Bridesmaidshe's been on comedy podcasts he's really good at comedy improv that's like something that John's expressed over the years and.[18:18] About how he really enjoys comedy. He almost just sort of, the Don Draper thing is almost like the thing that took off.But you're right. He could have very easily taken off as a comedic actor.For sure. You see a spark in him, I feel like, whenever he does any sort of comedic role.And I think people have maybe started to see that side of him a little bit more so over the last decade or so.He's done various guest spots, 30 Rock, Curb Your Enthusiasm.[18:45] Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.Like he's had these roles where not necessarily the star of a comedy show, but able to shine in that type of role.And you just you see that other side of him right away. Oh, my gosh.This is a guy who no question can do comedy.He's great at it. Yeah. People like Tina Fey, SNL Hall of Famer Tina Fey are giving their stamp of approval with Jon Hamm.You mentioned 30 Rock, Unbreakable, Kimmy Schmidt. uh yeah he's getting like the the approval of people who really know their stuff with comedy so snl was maybe his first the firsttime that people got to see john ham's comedic chops so so that's why the uh john ham and snl that that's an interesting part of his story as an actor so we'll get to it gonna kind of like lookat some of his he hosted three times so we'll kind of look Look at his hosting gigs.His first one, season 34, episode 6.That was October 25, 2008.So it was maybe the second season, I feel like, of Mad Men that was kicking up. So musical guest Coldplay.And Jamie, this, I really, I'll say up top, when I saw this episode, I really enjoyed it.So I feel like there's a lot of stuff that we can.[20:08] Go over and choose from like what stood out to you uh you could make a specific sketch but like what stood out to you uh first and foremost from this episode yeah so what'sinteresting to me about this episode is just kind of the context in which it's taking place first so you have john ham coming in not necessarily the giant name john ham that we know nowright like madman i think took a little bit of time to kind of have the critical acclaimed bill and to have everyone and know it the way that they know it now.So he's coming in a little bit more of an unknown than he is today.[20:42] He's talked a little bit about this episode in terms of just like his own nerves and like excitement to host, but also being nervous, like going out, doing that monologue.He was telling a story at one point about how he almost missed his cue to actually go out and like almost had to be like pushed out.And I mean, once once the episode kicks off, I feel like he's he's a pro and like the professional Jon Hamm who does everything brilliantly comes out.But yeah, it's just it's a little bit crazy to me in a good way how he pivoted from apparently being so nervous to doing everything he needs to do to just deliver on the sketches in thisepisode.Yeah, there was a little bit of nervous energy, which is to be expected when you're hosting SNL. But it's kind of funny to see somebody like Jon Hamm, especially somebody who playedDon Draper, to be a little bit rattled by an experience.So I love seeing the human side of somebody like Jon Hamm. Not everyone has discovered our show yet.So tonight, in hopes of boosting our ratings, I'd like to tell you what you'll see if you tune in.[21:51] Mad Men is a measured period piece set in the early 1960s that explores the social mores of advertising executives who, well, who like to dance with the stars.It's a cutthroat elimination celebrity dance-off show, and it's on AMC, 10 p.m. on Sundays. days.The show stars me, everyone from CSI, all of the Phillies and the Rays.He's almost like this good looking robot actor in some ways.So it's fun to see the human side of it. And he was in a lot of...[22:32] Pretty classic sketches from that season, all in one episode. This was from SNL.SNL fans really enjoyed this episode.Is there a particular sketch that you think we should start by talking about?Yeah, so I feel like I have to start with Trick or Treat, and maybe it's a cop-out going a little bit chronologically, but I think it's interesting because we were talking about how he comesout, was maybe a little bit nervous, his first time hosting a gig, you can maybe start to see a little bit of that.But I feel like with this sketch, and so this is the Jeff Montgomery, it's a classic Halloween sketch.Folks have probably seen it, but you have Will Forte in the kind of creepy, is he a pedophile? Is he not?Kind of interplay with John Hamm.[23:22] John Hamm just crushes this.And I mean, obviously, he's more of the straight man in this, but such an important part and you were talking earlier about his like facial reactions during mad men and just how he bringsthat you see that in this sketch and a i'm super impressed that he didn't just break a million times in this sketch because it is so hilarious and b not only did he not break i feel like he bringsthat kind of professionalism into this in a way that just makes the whole thing work so yeah i'm curious what you think about this one i feel like this This is a top tier sketch for a lot ofpeople.Oh, no, this is a classic one. And it's a very much like it's a Will Forte showcase.And it really plays in Will Forte's really twisted, dark, weird sense of humor sometimes.But you're absolutely right about Jon Hammond, his acting ability.And I think a sketch like this, this is where being a very good actor can really help elevate a sketch.Because you're right. He had to play the facial expressions just right. He had to go from...[24:28] Being annoyed by Jeff Montgomery to kind of feeling bad that he was annoyed to then start to catch on about what the game was.Let's just let's just be clear on something here is is sex offender your Halloween costume or are you fulfilling a legal obligation to declare yourself a sex offender?Bob lighten up it's Halloween![24:48] Besides this is a tradition you know I do this every time i move to a new town are you jeff montgomery a sex offender am i jeff montgomery a registered sex offender on halloweenyes what about not on halloween yes even when it's not halloween i'm still jeff montgomery a sex offender look you're missing the point he had to play that just right so you're he's kind ofthe voice of us you're just kind of sitting there going like Like, is he going to ask these questions?And Jon Hamm, he's not a dumb neighbor.He's a neighbor that's picking up on this. So this is such good acting.I feel like Jamie, and this is what I was talking about as far as like these dramatic, quote unquote, dramatic actors or people who we know as dramatic actors.This is where the really good actors can elevate sketches. And I shouldn't be surprised, but this is yet another example of that.Yep, absolutely. Yeah, I feel like this is a sketch where the material was great so it would have been fun if it was a little more chaotic or he was breaking or all this stuff.There's a place for that. But I love that this sketch just comes across as super professional, well-delivered, well-executed comedy and I think that played a big role in how folks received itand just the...[26:12] The place that I think it has in SNL history and thinking about like the Halloween compilations and everything, this is is always right up there.And I think one of one of the best, maybe even the best Halloween sketch.Definitely, definitely at the top for me. Yeah, for me, too.It's up there. And I feel like this episode for Jon had like an interesting trajectory. It almost felt like they sort of ramped him up as far as what he led or how much of the sketch was aboutJon Hamm leading.So it seems like at the beginning of the night that this, because this was the lead-off sketch. This sketch happened right after the monologue.[26:49] And it was, like I said, like a Will Forte showcase. And Jon played a specific role in this.And then they had him playing Don Draper in the next sketch.Sketch the two a-holes which was really funny that's of course a Jason and Kristen vehicle he played a he had a very brief appearance as John F.Kennedy in another sketch but you can kind of I think watching this episode they're kind of ramping John up a little bit he played Don Draper a second time but this this one was a littletwist on it so Don Draper's guide to picking up women Jamie is a pre-tape it's one that that did stand out to me I know it was very very beloved amongst SNL fans.He's playing Don Draper again, but this time it was more fun and comedic.It was a twist on Don Draper.When asked about your past, give vague, open-ended answers.[27:43] So Don, tell me about your family. Any brothers and sisters?There was a man with bright, shiny shoes.I saw him dancing.Until the accident.[27:59] How mysterious. Yeah, I love this one.I think this is a fun just ode to Mad Men fans or just something that they will extra appreciate and, I mean, hopefully has a little bit broader appeal as well.I think some of the jokes work regardless, but I think especially for folks who know the character of Don Draper, there's a little bit more to the laughs on this one.So I love how he's basically kind of going through all of the different steps to, as it says, his guide to picking up women um all of the things that are just kind of a little bit ridiculous abouthis character or memorable so things like when in doubt remain absolutely silent which again on mad men you see that he is just this kind of stoic person especially in the early seasonsand just the women and the affairs come from every every angle and just like the reaction that like every woman has around him.Another one of the steps being like, have a great name. You have the context of like the ridiculous name coming out. But yeah, this was just a fun.[29:09] Fun way to kind of give a little bit of love to the Mad Men fans while also I think putting in something that anyone can appreciate.Oh, you're absolutely right. And I was in I was in the camp of not being a Mad Men fan when I first saw this.But I knew I mean, there are once you watch Mad Men, there are Mad Men specific things that are funny.But when I first saw this, I wasn't real familiar with Mad Men.So to me, this this sketch really just like it did convey just a good looking guy who doesn't have to say anything to pick up women essentially and so there's that joke as well so you're rightlike it's for mad men fans but it was for people like me at the time who was not a mad men fan so this this was that's good writing and and good acting uh by john and we'll see like that'sjust a common thread throughout all his sketches like he's just such a good actor he's just such a presence on screen he's has like total command of the material agreed agreed yeah This isa fun one.The next one. So we kind of are going chronologically well because this is such a fun episode.It is. And this next one possibly is the highlight for me of the night.I think with Vincent Price's Halloween special.So John plays James Mason, who was an old British actor. He was in the Stanley Kubrick movie Lolita.And I had to look up Jamie James Mason interview because I wanted to compare.And John was pretty spot-on.[30:38] No spaceman costume, James? No, didn't even open the box. Too old-fashioned.The suit was too old-fashioned?No, I had two old fashions and I couldn't open the box. I've been drunk since 11 a.m., Price. Please, James, family show.Understood. Say, where are the hordes? Cheesy, crazy, James![31:00] He had the cadence down. He had a good British accent. like this was a really this is like it's probably a deep cut impression but John Hamm's James Mason impression was reallygood playing opposite of course Vincent Price Bill Hader's character and then Kristen Wiig was playing Gloria Swanson from Sunset Boulevard this is set in the late 50s so what did youthink of John actually playing doing an impression like playing a character and not himself or Don Draper yeah I love that like the episode starts to like pivot in this direction right of justlike allowing him to do even more I feel like second half of the episode it's like all bets are off we'll let this guy just be be totally wacky and going beyond the the Don Draper sketches thatwe kind of had to start off so yeah I think this one is really just like a fun ensemble sketch for me right you have Fred as Liberace you have kind of Bill kind of coming it being like raisedI don't know if it's a platform or what but like starting off the sketch with like a little little bit of a gag, just kind of being frustrated that that device is not working as expected.[32:09] You have a little bit of everything, and then you have the impressions.I was not familiar with James Mason, so I had heard from folks that he did a great job with this impression, but it wasn't one that when I first saw it, I was like, oh, it's that guy orwhatever.But for me, even without that, just the line delivery and that drunken cloud over his performance in the best possible way just made it super fun.And he has a lot of great lines.The, hey, where are the whores? Just kind of like coming in.He absolutely was having fun. And it's fun to see somebody like Jon Hamm.He was playing in the SNL of the time.Because this was already a fun, this Vincent Price Halloween special.[32:55] It was either a recurring sketch at this point, or it ended up being a recurring sketch.But this was part of something that a lot of people liked about this part, this era of SNL. So it's fun to see John play with like a recurring sketch.[33:10] But it's always really neat to me, too, to see a host really pull off an impression because we expect our cast members to do that because they're on the show.This is what they do. But to have a host come in and have an impression and really pull it off.And that's what you see from a lot of the greats. Like Alec Baldwin has a handful of impressions that he was really good at.Not Trump, but stuff like Tony Bennett, stuff like that. That, like, Alec Baldwin had his forte of impressions. It looks like Jon Hamm.He probably, I wonder if Jon Hamm randomly told them, like, I can do a James Mason.So what I read about this, and someone might need to fact check me on it, but that he was supposed to be Dean Martin, I think, but then it got changed at the last minute.I don't know the why. I think it was, like, Lauren saying to change it, and he suggested that he can do James Mason.What's his name mason james mason um so i feel like that there it sounds like was an element of him suggesting it um and he does it i mean it's it's great yeah i think this might have beenhis best performance of the night for me just because of like the degree of difficulty for a host to do something like this uh the the next sketch i think is probably the most memorable interms of just the snl community at large yeah from this episode and we had a lot of this around around that time we saw like a play on the host name.So we saw like Peter Skarsgård, Sarsgård is a famous one.[34:39] So playing off the host name and creating a product and it's such a dumb idea, but it does work for me. And especially the delivery.So we have Jamie, Jonhams, Jonham, what a product.Tonight I'm here to talk to you about a product that doesn't need any glitz or gloss.It's a product that speaks for itself and I'm proud to endorse it.John Hamm's John Hamm. And you can eat in the bathroom.[35:07] Let's face it, we live in a fast-paced world. But if you're as busy as I am, every day you have to make a decision.Am I going to eat lunch or am I going to go to the bathroom?Now you never have to make that choice again.This is probably, across the three episodes that we're going to talk about, this is probably my favorite in terms of like you just may makes me laugh the most when i watch it right like idon't know what that says about my brand of humor but i something about just the toilet paper rolls of ham and like his commitment as he's eating this probably disgusting prop ham hamright um but yeah i just thought this was silly well executed fun um it's not super long it's not like he has this crazy amount of stuff that he's saying or doing but the line delivery of evenjust like when he's like now that's good ham just the way he says some of these things i I feel like brings the laughs.And when we talk about Jon Hamm and Hall of Fame and just his legacy as a host, I feel like his ability to take great material and elevate it is what I look for in those elite caliber hosts.[36:28] And this is one that I think actually showcases that really well.You're so right. He speaks with such gravitas.And that's what this sketch means. and I love that I'm a sucker for that when when it's really dumb material but it's presented in such a grand way with again with such gravitas like it's justlike that funny dry delivery of something so stupid I love too that they even called out the name thing he said I bet you I bet you're thinking that I'm only endorsing this because my name'sJon Hamm and this is Jon Hamm Then he had to explain how his name's spelled and it's not spelled that way and all that. So I love like taking.[37:10] Taking that idea for the sketch and really like putting it under a microscope and saying no i know i know that i'm up here because it's john ham and my name is john ham but here'sthe deal i'm not i believe in this product so he had to really deliver that like really straight like this is so, fantastic and this is another example like so this is toward the end of the night andwe're seeing like him get more responsibility in sketches as the night goes on i think there there really is like this upward trend of how much responsibility they're going to give Jon Hammthis episode.Yep. No, I, I love, I love that kind of flow with this episode.Like you, by the end of this episode, you really see like this, this guy can do comedy and like, you're not even that surprised by it anymore because he's just such a natural and he's justkilling it left and right.So yeah, I, I really liked the progression of this episode.Yeah. And speaking of gravitas, the last sketch, It's actually like a three-part runner, but they're back-to-back-to-back. Pat Finger.Hi, I'm Pat Finger, and I'm running for city council right here in beautiful Butts, New York.You know, I grew up here in Butts, so I'm very familiar with the sights, the sounds, and the smells of Butts Valley.In other words, I'm deeply concerned with what's going on inside Butts.I promise to improve our bridges and roads with a special focus on repairing potholes.I vow I will do everything in my power to plug up each and every butt's hole.[38:39] If there's one thing I know, it's this. To get these things done, you're going to need a finger and butts.[38:47] Cast your vote and put a finger in butts. Paid for by the committee to elect Pat Finger for city council.Would you vote for Pat Finger, Jamie? I mean, those ads were so convincing that I don't know how.The name change might confuse me a little bit, right?Like, it might get to me. But, no, this, I mean, we were talking a little bit about just, like, silly, dumb humor.And so we're, I feel like, doubling down on that with this one to end the night. But it's fun, right?I mean, it's basically a bunch of, like, finger and butt jokes for however long this goes on.Um but i i love that again he keeps a straight face pretty well like he's literally just giving the most childish lines and innuendos throughout and the fact that it's john ham makes it thatmuch funnier that this kind of larger than life guy type of personality is doing this kind of sketch sketch really makes it work.[39:48] Yeah, I love childish things that are said with such commitment and gravitas.John Hamm, more than most, pulls that off so well.He's running for mayor in a town called Butts. His name's Pat Finger.Of course, you can see where some of the jokes might go.He changed his name because I love the progression, the escalation of these sketches.So it was three consecutive commercials for Pat Finger, who is running for and i love that that he realizes why people weren't taking him or the ad seriously so he kind of like became self-aware and of course you know he changed his name to his mother's maiden name which was a cajun name uh deldo so yeah so that's just sort of like the cherry on top of of all the childishuh wordplay that john just sells so well like i'm a sucker for this probably Probably because of his delivery.Like, Johns is such a good actor. He made this type of material work.[40:46] No, absolutely. I feel like it was a perfect matchup of the right person to be doing this, this type of sketch.So yeah, this, this was a fun way to end it.So this type of so you're if you're watching this type of episode, as it's as it's going on, like your reaction after it ends as an SNL fan, are you just sitting there going like, dang, like, thatwas impressive.Like, what's your reaction after this type of episode, especially from a first time host?Yeah i mean i think for for me it's again if you had any doubts that this guy if you had seen mad men a few times or kind of starting to hear about this john ham guy doing some greatacting over on amc i feel like any of those doubts at this point are gone and you're like okay this guy is the real deal he is i mean a legitimate great actor but also just fun and willing to todo a bunch of of silly stuff.I think we see some of the silly stuff even elevate in the next few episodes, which we'll talk about.But I feel like by the time this is over, you're like, okay, this guy just talked about finger and butts for three minutes.[41:56] He's he's in like, we like this guy, we can have fun with him.He can come back. He's in.And he made an impression on the cast in this episode.Amy Poehler, I don't know if you've read her book called Yes, Please. I haven't. I haven't read it yet, but it's on my stack that I need to read.Okay, I'm going to spoil just a little bit for you. Yes, that's all right.I can handle it. So she had a funny story in her book about Jon Hamm's episode and about him in particular.So in her book, Yes, Please, she said that during Jon Hamm's first hosting stint here, she was pregnant and she was very close to her due date.And she called her doctor's office to check in with them. and the receptionist was crying and told Amy that the doctor had passed away the night before.[42:40] So this was on the set of a pre-tape that they were filming.I think it was the How to Pick Up Women pre-tape because I know Amy was in that one.And Amy started hysterically crying in front of everybody.So John went over to Amy, put his hand on her shoulder and said, in picture John Hamm's voice, he says, this is a really important show for me.I'm going to need you to get your shit together.[43:04] He told Amy that. Amy said she laughed so hard that she probably peed herself.And I know that that's something that John did to make her feel better and to kind of lighten the tension a little bit. And it was absolutely perfect.So if I didn't already think that he was funny just in real life and good on his feet, that Amy Poehler story about John saying that to her at that exact moment, it's like left no doubt in mymind.I don't know if you've ever heard Amy tell that, but I love that story. No, that's amazing.And again, you hear that story in his voice, which just makes it even better.Yeah so he yeah he left an impression on amy poehler left the left an impression on the show itself because this was season 34 that he did he had his first hosting gig season 35 it doesn'ttake him long to come back it's just a little over a year later season 35 episode 13 this was january of 2010 musical guest michael buble and that's important that michael buble was amusical guests tonight so we have Jon Hamm returning yeah second season in a row they must have really liked him so.[44:15] Yeah, this, his monologue, Jamie, he joked about playing variations of Don Draper in different acting gigs prior to Mad Men.So he's talking about Don Draper again in a monologue, not taking himself too seriously again.[44:29] It's always been a dream of mine to host SNL, and that dream came true last year when I did it.So honestly, this time it's really just for the paycheck. check i love that and i think with each progressive episode you just get the sense that he's feeling more and more at home and i feellike it seems like he had great relationships with the cast i don't know exactly the order of that if he had some connections with this era of cast first or if they developed as he was on theshow um but it definitely it feels like he was kind of intertwined with this era the like hater wig like that whole group of people he just fits in so flawlessly with this cast and i think thisepisode kind of his second episode hosting is where you really kind of start to see that it wasn't just kind of a one-off he did a great job and in his first time but he really kind of starts tofeel like part of the fabric of this era in a way that's that's kind of cool yeah i bet when the cast was told that john ham was going to come back they were probably like that's a great ideawe loved working with him last season so i bet a lot of them were really happy to have him back i have an important question for you jamie are you a fan of the movie the lost boys.[45:46] Not specifically oh man can i give a confession i don't know if i've seen it i don't know if i've seen it you know okay this is a safe space it's okay the movie came out in 1987 ohthat's where i was born oh my gosh i need to get on that yeah it's a good one the cory's cory hame cory fellman, they're both in that jason patrick's in that um also another person who's inthat is a gentleman He's a saxophone player named Tim Capello is in that.He plays a shirtless sax player in The Lost Boys.So he was the inspiration. I am sure, I'm 98% sure that he was the inspiration for Sergio.[46:32] So talk to me about this goofy digital short Sergio, Jamie.So much fun. um so basically have the guy who's getting cursed Sergio just keeps appearing in in being played by Jon Hamm in the most ridiculous ways just instantly silly right like wewere talking about the build up from the last episode of like putting Jon Hamm in these increasingly like stretch roles for for For him, this is just all in on let's have him play this characterwho is just hilarious.He's shirtless, right? Shirtless, shiny, kind of the hair, everything going.The absolute best part of this

When Ridley Scott calls, Janty Yates answers. 2021 brought not one, but two Scott projects - The Last Duel and House of Gucci - and Yates was by his side on both. With The Last Duel, we are transported back into medieval France to meet Marguerite de Carrouges (Jodie Comer), Jacques Le Gris (Adam Driver) and Sir Jean de Carrouges (Matt Damon) as they fight for the truth. As for House of Gucci, we meet Patrizia Reggiani (Lady Gaga) in the late 1970s as she begins her relationship with Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver). Yates' costumes are standouts and she is receiving some of the best reviews of her career.  Yates is no stranger to the awards attention. In 2001, she was the winner of Academy Award for Best Costume Design for Gladiator. She was also nominated for a Satellite Awards (where she is 4x nominee), a Saturn Award (where she is a 3x nominee) and a BAFTA. In addition to these accolades, she is also a 2x Costume Designers Guild Awards nominee (The Martian and De-Lovely).  Yates has been racking up nominations left and right for critics prizes for both of her films of this year, including a Hollywood Critics Association nomination and a Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards nomination.  Their collaboration continues with Kitbag, starring Joaquin Phoenix as Napoleon Bonaparte. Jodie Comer was originally cast as Joséphine Bonaparte but had to drop out due to COVID-influenced scheduling conflicts. This audio interview runs 25m 19s.

Breaking Bad is an American neo-Western crime drama television series created and produced by Vince Gilligan. The show aired on AMC from January 20, 2008, to September 29, 2013, consisting of five seasons for a total of 62 episodes. It was set and filmed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and tells the story of Walter White (Bryan Cranston), an underpaid and dispirited high school chemistry teacher who is struggling with a recent diagnosis of stage-three lung cancer. White turns to a life of crime, partnering with his former student Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), by producing and distributing crystallized methamphetamine to secure his family's financial future before he dies, while navigating the dangers of the criminal underworld. The title is a Southern colloquialism meaning to turn to a life of crime.[8] Gilligan characterized the series as showing Walter's transformation from a soft-spoken Mr. Chips into Scarface. Among the show's co-stars are Anna Gunn and RJ Mitte as Walter's wife Skyler and son Walter, Jr., and Betsy Brandt and Dean Norris as Skyler's sister Marie Schrader and her husband Hank, a DEA agent. Others include Bob Odenkirk as White's and Pinkman's sleazy lawyer Saul Goodman, Jonathan Banks as private investigator and fixer Mike Ehrmantraut, and Giancarlo Esposito as drug kingpin Gus Fring. The final season introduces Jesse Plemons as the criminally ambitious Todd Alquist, and Laura Fraser as Lydia Rodarte-Quayle, a clumsy business executive secretly managing Walter's global meth sales for her company. Breaking Bad's first season received generally positive reviews, while the rest of its run received universal acclaim, which would make critics laud it as one of the greatest television series of all time.[9] It had moderate viewership in its first three seasons, but the fourth and fifth seasons saw a significant rise in viewership when it was made available on Netflix just before the fourth season premiere. By the time that the series finale aired, it was among the most-watched cable shows on American television. The show received numerous awards, including 16 Primetime Emmy Awards, eight Satellite Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, two Peabody Awards, two Critics' Choice Awards, and four Television Critics Association Awards. Cranston won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series four times, while Aaron Paul won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series three times; Anna Gunn won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series twice. In 2013, Breaking Bad entered the Guinness World Records as the most critically acclaimed show of all time.[10] Better Call Saul, a prequel series featuring Odenkirk, Banks, and Esposito reprising their Breaking Bad roles, debuted on AMC on February 8, 2015, and has been renewed for a final sixth season. The sequel film El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie starring Aaron Paul was released on Netflix and in theaters on October 11, 2019.[11]

Rob and Dave discuss Doctor 13, Jodie Whittaker. Featuring listener emails and a special audio from The Rev. As always, you can write to us: hello@theDWshow.net - Jodie Whittaker graduated from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 2005 with a gold medal in Acting. Since then she has worked continually in Film, Television and Theatre. Her TV credits include the critically acclaimed ITV drama Broadchurch (for which she was nominated for Best Actress for the RTS Television Awards), Emmy award-winning Black Mirror, Sky 1's The Smoke, BBC's Cranford, in which she starred opposite Judi Dench and Imelda Staunton, The Night Watch (BBC), The Accused (BBC), and Tess of the D'Urbervilles (BBC). Jodie has recently finished shooting Journeyman, written and directed by Paddy Considine, as is the lead in the new BBC drama series Trust Me. Her other film credits include Venus, (which earned her nominations for Best Newcomer at the British Independent Film Awards; Best British Newcomer at the Critics' Circle Awards and Best Actress In A Motion Picture at the Satellite Awards); Attack The Block, One Day, Black Sea, Good Vibrations, St.Trinian's, Get Santa and most recently Adult Life Skills, which she Executive Produced as well as starred in which received a number of BIFA nominations. Jodie made her professional theatrical debut at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in The Storm. Other theatre credits include playing the title role in Antigone at the Royal National Theatre, Bash at the Trafalgar Studios, Awake And Sing and Enemies at the Almeida, both directed by the then Artistic Director Michael Attenborough. - 1. What does it feel like to be the Thirteenth Doctor? It's very nerve-racking, as it's been so secret! 2. Why did you want the role? To be asked to play the ultimate character, to get to play pretend in the truest form: this is why I wanted to be an actor in the first place. To be able to play someone who is literally reinvented on screen, with all the freedoms that brings - what an unbelievable opportunity. And added to that, to be the first woman in that role. 3. Has it been hard to keep the secret? Yes. Very hard! I've told a lot of lies! I've embroiled myself in a whole world of lies which is going to come back at me when this is announced! 4. Who was the first person you told when you got the role? My husband. Because I was allowed to! 5. Did you have a codename and if so what was it? In my home, and with my agent, it was The Clooney. Because to me and my husband, George is an iconic guy. And we thought, what's a really famous iconic name? It was just fitting. 6. What does it feel like to be the first woman Doctor? It feels completely overwhelming; as a feminist, as a woman, as an actor, as a human, as someone who wants to continually push themselves and challenge themselves, and not be boxed in by what you're told you can and can't be. It feels incredible. 7. What do you want to tell the fans? I want to tell the fans not to be scared by my gender. Because this is a really exciting time, and Doctor Who represents everything that's exciting about change. The fans have lived through so many changes, and this is only a new, different one, not a fearful one. 8. What are you most excited about? I'm most excited about becoming part of a family I didn't even know existed. I was born in 1982 - it's been around longer than me, and it's a family I couldn't ever have dreamed I'd be part of. 9. How did Chris sell you the part? We had a strange chat earlier this year where he tricked me into thinking we were talking about Broadchurch. And I started to quiz him about his new job in Wales, and asked him if I could be a baddie! And he quickly diverted the conversation to suggest I should consider auditioning to be the 13th Clooney. It was the most incredible chat because I asked every question under the sun, and I said I'd take a few weeks to decide whether I was going to audition. He got a phone call within 24 hours. He would've got a phone call sooner, but my husband was away and there was a time difference! 10. Did he persuade you? No. There was no persuasion needed. If you need to be persuaded to do this part, you're not right for this part, and the part isn't right for you. I also think, for anyone taking this on, you have to want to fight for it, which I certainly had to do. I know there will have been some phenomenal actors who threw their hats in the ring. 11. What are you going to wear? I don't know yet. 12. Is that your costume in the filmed sequence which introduced you as the new Doctor? No. 13. Have any of the other Doctors given you advice? Well they can't because they haven't known until now, but I'm certainly expecting a couple of calls - I've got a couple of mates in there. I'm mates with a companion [Arthur Darvill], I'm mates with a trio of Doctors. I know Matt Smith, Chris Eccleston and obviously David Tennant. Oh! And let's throw in David Bradley! Four Doctors! So I'm hoping I get some calls of advice. - The BBC today announced to the world that Jodie Whittaker will be the new Doctor Who. The identity of the new Doctor was revealed exclusively on BBC One and on social media around the world after the Men's Wimbledon Final on Sunday 16 July. She will be the Thirteenth Time Lord and take over from Peter Capaldi, who leaves the global hit show at Christmas. New head writer and executive producer Chris Chibnall, who takes over from Steven Moffat on the next series, made the decision to cast the first ever woman in the iconic role. Jodie Whittaker says: “I'm beyond excited to begin this epic journey with Chris and with every Whovian on this planet. It's more than an honour to play the Doctor. It means remembering everyone I used to be, while stepping forward to embrace everything the Doctor stands for: hope. I can't wait.” Chris Chibnall, New Head Writer and Executive Producer, says : “After months of lists, conversations, auditions, recalls, and a lot of secret-keeping, we're excited to welcome Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor. "I always knew I wanted the Thirteenth Doctor to be a woman and we're thrilled to have secured our number one choice. Her audition for The Doctor simply blew us all away. Jodie is an in-demand, funny, inspiring, super-smart force of nature and will bring loads of wit, strength and warmth to the role. The Thirteenth Doctor is on her way.” Peter Capaldi says: “Anyone who has seen Jodie Whittaker's work will know that she is a wonderful actress of great individuality and charm. She has above all the huge heart to play this most special part. She's going to be a fantastic Doctor.” Charlotte Moore, BBC Director of BBC Content, says: “Making history is what Doctor Who is all about and Chris Chibnall's bold new take on the next Time Lord is exactly that. The nation is going to fall in love with Jodie Whittaker - and have lots of fun too!” Piers Wenger, Controller BBC Drama, says : "Jodie is not just a talented actor but she has a bold and brilliant vision for her Doctor. She aced it in her audition both technically and with the powerful female life force she brings to the role. She is destined to be an utterly iconic Doctor." Matt Strevens, Executive Producer, says : "I'm so thrilled that Jodie Whittaker said yes to playing the Doctor. I've been a fan for years and always hoped to work with her. She is an actor of great emotional range and inhabits every role with complete passion and conviction. Just thinking about what she will bring to the Doctor makes me as excited as a kid at Christmas. It's going to be a lot of fun."

Movie Addict Headquarters pays tribute to James Horner, the composer of such memorable movie scores as Titanic, A Beautiful Mind, Avatar, Braveheart, Field of Dreams and The Spiderwick Chronicles. Noted film critics Richard Jack Smith and A.J. Hakari join in this celebration of Horner’s impressive contributions to the cinema. Smith is the soundtrack reviewer for ReelTalk Movie Reviews, and Hakari contributes movie reviews to various sites including his own popular blog CineSlice.   Sadly, Horner died in a plane crash on June 22nd at age 61. He left behind a remarkable reputation as one of the greatest film composers of all time. He boasts 125 composing credits on the Internet Movie Data Base (IMDb). His score for Titanic earned him an Oscar, and his popular My Heart Will Go On also won an Academy Award as Best Original Song the same year. Plus, Horner received many additional Oscar nominations during his illustrious career. Here’s a list of his other Academy Award nominated film scores: Avatar, House of Sand and Fog, ABeautiful Mind, Apollo 13, Braveheart, Field of Dreams, An American Tail, and Aliens. Horner also won two Golden Globe Awards, three Satellite Awards, three Saturn Awards, and has been nominated for three British Academy Film Awards.
