It's time for another very open-ended conversation between Kyle and Nerdist video producer Adam Murray. This time out, it's about '80s sci-fi/action movies, specifically the "Big Four," those of course The Terminator, Aliens, RoboCop, and Predator. Why are they so good? What do they all have in common? Why do aliens and robots with anti-corporate themes hold our attention for 40 years?

Once upon a Time in Cinema Der Filmpodcast 

Folge #203: KneecapFantasy Filmfest-Fieber, 90er-Klassiker und Gälischer Hip-Hop! Timo ist voller Eindrücke vom Fantasy Filmfest, das er vorab besucht hat, und verrät, welche Filme man sich auf keinen Fall entgehen lassen sollte. Besonders "Night Call" hat es ihm angetan, und "Companion" überrascht mit einer ungewöhnlichen Handy-Policy. Zeljko, der sich auf sein eigenes Fantasy Filmfest-Erlebnis freut, berichtet von seinen Serien-Eskapaden mit "Die Discounter" und einem erneuten Eintauchen in den Klassiker "Good Will Hunting", der ihn wieder einmal zu Tränen rührte. Sie diskutieren über die Zeitlosigkeit des Films, Robin Williams' Performance und die Freundschaft zwischen Matt Damon und Ben Affleck. Timo entführt die Zuhörer in die Sci-Fi-Action der 90er Jahre mit "Starship Troopers", bevor sie sich der Apple-Serie "Disclaimer" zuwenden, die mit ihrem komplexen Mystery-Thriller-Plot und einer herausragenden Cate Blanchett fesselt. Doch das Highlight der Woche ist ohne Zweifel "Kneecap", ein irischer Film, der die Geschichte einer gälischen Hip-Hop-Band erzählt und dabei Comedy, Drama und Dokumentation auf einzigartige Weise verbindet. Timo und Zeljko sind begeistert von der Energie der Band, der Authentizität der Geschichte und dem politischen Kommentar des Films. Sie diskutieren über die gälische Sprache, die Bedeutung von Identität und die Faszination für den unkonventionellen Stil des Films. Eine Episode, die von Festival-Highlights über 90er-Nostalgie bis hin zu irischem Hip-Hop reicht und dabei mit viel Humor und Leidenschaft die Kinowelt feiert.

Hymnson Chan talks his extensive stunt work, improvising with Larry David on "Curb Your Enthusiasm", and the time he threw himself in a wall during an audition! About Hymnson: Born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Hymnson Chan's journey began in a city known for its rugged beauty and diverse culture. However, his formative years were spent in Quincy, Massachusetts, just outside of Boston, where he navigated the challenges of growing up in a predominantly Irish-Catholic neighborhood. Raised by immigrant parents from Hong Kong, Hymnson inherited a rich tapestry of resilience and determination. Despite facing discrimination and hardship, Hymnson's parents instilled in him the values of empathy, humility, and faith, which he carried on into adulthood.  Today, Hymnson is recognized as one of Hollywood's most sought-after stunt performers. His remarkable skills have been showcased in blockbuster hits, including Bullet Train, as well as Marvel's Avengers: Endgame, where his stunt work won him a SAG Award. No stranger to being on camera, Chan has been recognized for several appearances on the small screen, including I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson, Grey's Anatomy, Kidding, Shameless, Key & Peele, and Jane The Virgin, to name a few. He also recurred in Syfy's Underlings. Most recently, Chan had the pleasure of starring alongside Larry David as his latest nemesis on the final season of HBO's hit series Curb Your Enthusiasm. Beyond his work in front of the camera, Chan is a talented screenwriter and storyteller. He recently won the WeScreenplay TV Pilot Competition with his grounded Sci-Fi-Action pilot, “DAI LO,” inspired by his mother's immigrant experience and his own journey as a first-generation AAPI. His writing often delves into themes of identity, family, and social issues, aiming to empower marginalized communities and challenge stereotypes. In a world divided by differences, Chan hopes his work continues to break barriers, leaving a legacy of kindness, resilience, and boundless creativity behind.  Outside his work in Hollywood, Chan actively supports charitable organizations such as Best Friends Animal Society, No-Kill Los Angeles (NKLA), Angel City Pitbulls, and the Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment (CAPE). He believes in using his platform to amplify voices and create opportunities for underrepresented groups in the industry, a testament to his unwavering commitment to making a positive change. In his free time, Chan enjoys playing escape rooms with his wife, collecting sneakers, and cheering for Boston sports teams. He finds joy in exploring different cultures through travel and food, always seeking to broaden his horizons and connect with others on a deeper level. Learn more about your ad choices.

Die Netflix-Serie „Parasyte: The Grey“ basiert auf dem berühmten Manga „Parasyte“ von Hitoshi Iwaaki. Ursprünglich in den späten 1980ern veröffentlicht, erzählt der Manga die Geschichte von Shinichi Izumi, einem Schüler, der eines Nachts von einem mysteriösen Parasiten befallen wird. Dieser Parasit versucht, in sein Gehirn einzudringen, endet jedoch in seiner Hand und zwingt beide, künftig eine symbiotische Koexistenz zu führen. Wenn nur die anderen Parasiten nicht wären, deren einziges Ziel es zu sein scheint, Menschen zu fressen. Die Netflix-Serie, eine koreanische Adaption, versucht sich an einer Neuinterpretation dieser Prämisse. Während die Originalerzählung tief in die moralischen und existenziellen Dilemmata eintaucht, die aus dieser ungewöhnlichen Partnerschaft entstehen, hat Netflix eine andere Richtung eingeschlagen. Die Serie beginnt ähnlich, entwickelt sich jedoch schnell in eine Story, die komplett von der Manga-Vorlage abweicht. In dieser Folge vom Filmmagazin diskutieren wir, wie die Serie Elemente von Horror und Sci-Fi-Action nutzt, um die Zuschauer zu fesseln, aber möglicherweise die komplexeren philosophischen Fragen des Originals vernachlässigt. Die Darstellung der Parasiten und ihre Interaktion mit den Menschen bleibt ein zentrales Element jedoch wird die Charakterentwicklung, die im Manga besonders ausgeprägt ist, nicht ganz so tiefgehend behandelt. Es bleibt die Frage, ob diese Adaption die Essenz des Mangas (bzw. der Anime-Adaption, die sich meist an die Vorlage hält) dennoch einfangen kann.

First there was Alien (1979), and it was meet and good. From its cells sprang forth a new species. Ridley Scott and Sigourney Weaver created a character as intriguing and formidable as the alien foe encountered on LV426. James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd saw the greatness in “Ripley” so much so that despite hemming and hawing of studio execs they were determined to center their epic Sci Fi/Action major motion picture on a woman as the hero. There is a truth in “Aliens” that supersedes all arguments in our current political retrograde. Women are strong, capable, intelligent, and brave. Women have proven themselves.

In today's show, Kenny and Del review the 1997 Sci-Fi Action film Face/Off, celebrating its 25th anniversary today.   On the Independence Day weekend of 1990, five days after the second Die Hard came out, Mike Werb and Michael Colleary set out to write the “next Die Hard.”  Something Hollywood was always clamoring for since the release of the 1988 genre-re-defining action film.  The two Mikes went through many drafts and directors before settling on the version we know today directed by the legendary John Woo. The film is an outrageous over-the-top, risk-taking venture where the Mikes and Woo set out to conceive a one-of-a-kind action film that had both a psychological and emotional element attached to its narrative.  Considered a cult classic, Face/Off was Distributed by Paramount, Directed by John Woo, and stars John Travolta and Nicholas Cage.  So, join us as we review Face/Off! Thanks for listening, and feel free to hit us up on any of our social media platforms!     https://linktr.ee/BiAPodcastKenny's Letterbox'd be found here:  https://letterboxd.com/knnthp3/Theme song "Loli'ana" written and performed by award-winning musician Kamuela Kahoano.   Listen to more of Kamuela's music on iTunes and https://kamuelamusic.com/.  Also, "Loli'ana" performed live at The Ko'olau Banquet Hall can be seen here https://youtu.be/YDJ1NNJgEiA  Thanks for listening!  Don't forget our next bi-weekly Pod, and keep an eye out for our specials, series, request line, and news episodes!  And please subscribe and review!

Avish Parashar: All right now we're going to spend five minutes discussing the tropes cliches and commonalities that you find in this genre of movie so i'm gonna start my five minute timer. Avish Parashar: and go all right mikey why don't you start us off when you think of this kind of movie what are some of the things that come to mind. Michael Worth: Well, the first thing is, is that it's almost always an urban environment okay so you're gonna be doing that because you want that kind of like. Michael Worth: i'm always gonna see like shadow run squalor right there's definitely an element of society that's kind of in its final stage of decay right so decaying society. Michael Worth: And there's a huge gap between the squalor and the rich in this that just kind of. Avish Parashar: that's kind of the big thing it's like and almost every one of these movies. Avish Parashar: A there's a very, very low income disparity is a very small group of very rich very powerful people a mega powers in this is almost always is always like corporations and they're always evil right Google. Avish Parashar: sheets with the government and the police are like kind of owned or sponsored because a lot of these like robocop go into satire and political commentary about like. Avish Parashar: Where you know capitalism run a muck could lead, so they always are running man is very much kind of like that right, like the society at least like a running man. Michael Worth: And demolition man. Avish Parashar: demolition man is a really. Avish Parashar: good example here I think that's gonna be one of the sample ones, when I finish this podcast episodes robocop and demolition man. Michael Worth: yeah yeah those those are great with that it's it's funny and run everything. Michael Worth: And they are evil in terms of like ends justify the means complete narcissism you know just whatever so how is our hero now here's the trope. Michael Worth: there's almost always a hero that comes out of this but they're almost always engineered by some facet of this society they don't just like stand up like. Michael Worth: They look like i'm sly and demolition man when he was carbon froze and then he was thought out to by society it's not healing trained harder something he was like. Avish Parashar: He is not just a normal. Avish Parashar: it's not just like you know it's like a modern day police procedural where it's like Oh, you know, Martin riggs is really good because, like a normal guy yet so it's a it's guys from a different time this guy was almost killed so we turned him into a half robot or assign more. Michael Worth: Engine yard yeah yeah. Avish Parashar: JESSICA Alba and dark angel is like genetically engineered so yeah there's. Avish Parashar: enhance or there's given like a special equipment and Armor right like like all those TV shows we talked about so right yeah but there's like an enhanced it's an enhanced Cuban who is usually I think almost always a cop like it's almost always is or was a police officer yeah. copper military. Michael Worth: will do that, and I think we should play that in this in this improvised movie or much I think we should play the idea of the enhanced human that's what a lot of fun for like our games and stuff like that. Avish Parashar: yeah and they could be. Avish Parashar: They almost always work or at least start out working for the police or for the government like it's it's not like knight rider right where it's like a shadowy figure dangerous quest. Michael Worth: looks like had a good yeah. Avish Parashar: yeah like this, like all right, you know you are a police officer, but you're super COP no. Michael Worth: No, right now, at this point in the game, the first thing they do, if you want to get a little granular with the movie and the tropes. Michael Worth: there's always going to be, and it could be jumping ahead but that's okay there's always going to be a moment where you get to see all the cool. Michael Worth: or a chunk of the cool abilities this guy has or girl, you know, like you get see the enhanced speed or like in robot cups of thing his his special gun is targeting computer in judge dredd you could see him with with the what's it called the war master or the the the bicycle. Michael Worth: The psycho he has and he's like super cool gun that has like 30 different types of ammo so that definitely happens because you want to showcase at this guy or girl is is above and beyond the kind of normal people. Avish Parashar: yeah and that's a lot of times that's like in the earlier part of the movie when they're kind of first rolling out going through the fodder you the cannon fodder like random thieves and narrow wells. Michael Worth: yeah just grinding through the. Avish Parashar: Meat grinder of this, you know. Avish Parashar: Now, so the bad guy is often someone who don't people don't know is a bad guy like. Avish Parashar: You know, like a corporate head or something, but you know they're implicitly or secretly doing something really bad. Avish Parashar: oftentimes they've got some kind of usually the bad guys Plaid has some sense of like exploiting. Avish Parashar: The lower class even more like you know we're gonna blow up this entire section of the city, so I can build my condominiums or i'm gonna harvest human organs to sell to make these other things are. Michael Worth: yeah in many ways he's kind of like the old. Michael Worth: silent film like land Baron. Michael Worth: You don't need where it's like. Michael Worth: That yeah I think publicly they're always on the up and up it's always like oh it's Senator so and so he's sponsoring all this, you know environmental rehabilitation and his company has been feeding blah blah blah what he's really doing is he's got this down. Michael Worth: This nefarious plan that you know, and this is where the third part comes in the trope is always the hero uncovers this nested plan. Avish Parashar: yeah and. Michael Worth: And one of two things happening concurrently the bad guy start building an antihero thing. Avish Parashar: yeah that's what I was gonna say I. Michael Worth: will add rather than. Avish Parashar: What I was gonna say that while i'm not sure what your other ones me but yeah usually it's like there is a counter point to the there's The anti here like again, like the other robot yeah oh we've got our technology to and we've made 9000 or whatever right. Michael Worth: And then the final wrap up with the final kind of big trope of this is at one point, the hero goes rogue from society and has to make society safe on his own merits there's a cool like mode, where he was. Michael Worth: born of society trained by society originally was protecting society and then has to go outside society in order to fix society. Avish Parashar: yeah or like has to kind of go against his programming or training like like robocop has to like you know, be a cop, again, instead of just a robot like has kind of tapping the human side. Avish Parashar: that's a big piece of a lot of times the person when their hands, they lose their humanity and then part of the journey. Avish Parashar: From a character's re tapping into it and real quick just there's usually side characters like a cop partner or a victim they rescue earlier who becomes like an ally. Michael Worth: Exactly and let's all say they're almost always jacked like. Michael Worth: yeah i've seen biceps the size of my head it's not one of these movies. Avish Parashar: Right all right excellent so that was one more five minutes that brings us to the end of our genre tropes discussion. Avish Parashar: I real quick hey i'll tell you what if you go and visit the blog post for this and fish and Mike calm. Avish Parashar: Go to this episode and if we missed a trope or a genre that either we didn't talk about now that comes up in the episode you're able to comment on the episodes on our blog so go ahead and let us know hey you guys most important tropes oh yeah. Avish Parashar: Perfect on these things were perfect and other things damn it, but nothing. Transcription of the “Creating the Outline” Segment (Unedited and Un-Cleaned up) Avish Parashar: Alright, so that brings us to segment two. Avish Parashar: Creating the outline. Avish Parashar: All right now we're going to spend about five minutes, creating a rough high level outline that we're going to. Avish Parashar: Follow now, this being improv comedy and short form improv comedy we may veer from the outline but we're going to come up with a rough outline right now and we're going to use a for act structure. Avish Parashar: Basically it's a three act structure, but we take Act two is split into two parts, it just flows, a little better for this format alright so first question we normally start with a prologue or movie trailer just I feel like a probably use a movie trailer versus a prologue. Michael Worth: let's go with that yeah. Avish Parashar: I mean the other thing we could do is. Avish Parashar: Like a prologue, but a lot of these future dystopian movies have like the opening voiceover crawl where it's like a 2022 a catastrophic earthquake is blah blah blah or. Avish Parashar: No money 75 corporation, you know governments collapsing corporations takeover. Michael Worth: yeah yeah yeah. Avish Parashar: Why don't we do that with an improv game, like a like a storytelling or one word type game so. Avish Parashar: we'll come back and. Michael Worth: switch or something like that yeah. Avish Parashar: yeah let's do like a let's do like an opening Vo crawl. Michael Worth: crawl and that's our that's our trailer slash prologue. Avish Parashar: yeah I like that. Michael Worth: idea too so Vo crawl. Avish Parashar: Alright, so for. Avish Parashar: Act one alright so in act one This is where we're going to we're going to meet the hero now one thing we didn't talk about trope wise is we almost always see the hero before they're enhanced you know right before they get shot before they get frozen before they get modified yeah. Avish Parashar: So, I guess, we want to see the hero kind of an order in ordinary life. Michael Worth: yeah and but here's the thing, this is the one of the things the Homer, especially in the 90s, is this thing's pretty brisk so we don't want it to be like Oh, the here walk around getting groceries it's likely hero in media recce. Avish Parashar: yeah here. Avish Parashar: In action, action, like in kop action. Michael Worth: Right and and the whole point is that they're competent before they get buffed up before they get tipped up they're not like it's not like the 90 pound weakling it gets transformed. Avish Parashar: Like Captain America. Michael Worth: Captain America no hard, but nobody. Michael Worth: These guys are already pretty pretty competent. Avish Parashar: yeah so we've seen an order live in action as a police officer. Avish Parashar: Will usually meet one of the allies, whether it's a partner or potential romantic interest with someone we meet here and will often meet the villain here to like and comment ordinary. Avish Parashar: yeah sometimes the villain betrays the hero like before they become enhanced like so the ads that kind of person element to yep yep. Michael Worth: So when you meet the villain it's usually in a description Cinematic description of the state of society, where the Members remember the villain is usually have held at the pillar of the Community. Avish Parashar: yeah. Michael Worth: So it's like you meet the villain but it's like dinner with the OSHA was depleted, this company is able to give you portable oxygen or whatever you know so that kind of thing. Avish Parashar: yeah there's like some kind of propaganda ad type thing and then usually then act one ends with the transformation, whether it's because they got shot up and need to be rebuilt, or whatever, so it ends with like the the turn and the enhancement. Michael Worth: yep, this is the crossing the threshold because that's the that's the threshold crossing he's going from human to you know i'm vintage human or whatever. Michael Worth: yeah so apt to is usually a showcasing heroes new abilities. Avish Parashar: yeah there's where we see what they can do yeah with your random criminals it's not like. Michael Worth: yeah low level criminals. Avish Parashar: Right yeah oh girls, and I would say that we often will see the villain here. Avish Parashar: kind of furthering their plan and sometimes the ally will will come across it like the ally, has an agency here. Avish Parashar: You know, like the partner copies investigating something you know all the superheroes off becoming and testing the powers, the ally COPs like oh hey look this CEOs starting to learn the CEOs like evil right right. Michael Worth: Here are the two yeah this put your the here or ally uncovers layers of deception. Michael Worth: starts to see villains plan. Michael Worth: Okay, so showcasing here's new abilities low level criminals villainous forward and plans either here or ally uncovers layers of deception starts to see the villains plan cool. Michael Worth: You know, by the way this is like a hero's journey, one on one so here's tests and trials right it's like you know. Avish Parashar: Learning and developing on. Avish Parashar: And then act too so. Avish Parashar: I would say yeah back to turn this is when he's going to shift from reactive to proactive, so I said, the end of Act two is when the hero kinda learns I think oftentimes he won't find out to the end of act three that the bad guys the bad guy i'm. Michael Worth: Right, he knows, right here. Avish Parashar: So he, like uncovers the plot the plot is to like destroy the slums of the city he'll uncover that plot, but he wanted to say, know who's behind it. Michael Worth: Right, but at the end of actors, when he decides to be like now i'm going to start actively to foil in this plot. Avish Parashar: Right without knowing that it's you know he's been going to be betrayed by so yeah I guess as actor, he is in trying to stop the plot yep. Michael Worth: hero not resources detectives whatever it is not researchers, but if. Avish Parashar: that's the case. Michael Worth: investigate that's the word, thank you. Avish Parashar: As English. Michael Worth: investigates. Avish Parashar: investigates the plot and then usually this will culminate with him learning what you need to know, but then a learning the pillar of the Community is a bad guy and meeting slash fighting slash losing to the anti robot. Michael Worth: I just wrote villains starts building antihero tech hero confronts. Michael Worth: villain flunkies. Avish Parashar: yeah he learns the bad guys we're. Michael Worth: yeah and loses to anti tech. Michael Worth: um this is that that's heroes darkest hour. Michael Worth: oftentimes here the Allies wounded. Michael Worth: and take and take it out of the game. Avish Parashar: We I was in the I could be wounded here or the ally could be the one who saves after the hero gets beaten by the. Michael Worth: Law. Michael Worth: let's go with that let's go the Li saves them that's pretty cool I like. Avish Parashar: The beginning of back for like the ally saves the hero on. Avish Parashar: rehab This is where the hero will ideally learn like maybe they're going to tap back into their humanity or. Michael Worth: Their past or something. Avish Parashar: Like that kind of going around society, you know, instead of yep. Michael Worth: And so now there's two things about this. Michael Worth: At this point in time to hear was usually pariahs either they're either they're the propaganda sister persona non grata. Michael Worth: or the police has been bought out, and so they have to be because, when the hero has to decide through accessing his humanity or whatever to go it alone and so that's the big heroes mobile he said i'm going to do it myself, so the hero. Michael Worth: I decide. Michael Worth: To go solo. Avish Parashar: yeah there's gotta yeah the solo slash only here on the Allies like yeah the, the system has abandoned him right and oftentimes it's been he's moved on to make a strong political stand oftentimes at the very end. Avish Parashar: Then, like the system will get back on the system will realize it was wrong and yeah you know, like the whole police force that have been to him at the beginning of X for. Avish Parashar: At the very end and he's defeated the bad guy he's defeated the bad monster, and then you know he's confronting the CEO villain who's got the upper hand but then, like all the COPs show up or like no like now we're good yeah. Michael Worth: yeah or liking Superman for the quest for peace. Avish Parashar: In a bed. Michael Worth: in a bad way cannot hear that man it's in the podcast out. Avish Parashar: Basically that's all it has happened and act, I mean a lot of it can happen, a lot of ways loss that's basically it's you got saved by the ally rehabs. Avish Parashar: has to go kind of road. Avish Parashar: You know fights the bad robot monster and then. Michael Worth: Yes, up yeah society steps up to to help him at the end, but not like he needed it it's more like society's changed he's been the agent the agent of. Avish Parashar: Well that's why you have the two right like he uses his powers and smarts to beat the robot um but then like. Avish Parashar: You know society kind of helps him beat the CEO like because yeah he needs like society on his side, otherwise he just going to be the bad guy like he's going to be the criminal over. Avish Parashar: yeah alright so awesome that is a solid outline, which we will stick roughly to. Michael Worth: which will probably nor completely.

It's a chase movie, a sci-fi action romp, with some martial arts thrown in for fun. But is it actually any good? What did Nizzbit think on his first ever watch? Thanks go out to Audie Norman (@OddlyNormalOne) for the album art. Outro music “In Pursuit” provided by Purple-Planet.net

What Liam O'Donnell has achieved with Skylines (2020) is just about every film student's dream... Starting out as a completely independent film venture, based heavily on the locations they happened to have access to, the film series has grown into a treasured collection of science fiction action movies. All three films are available on either Netflix, Amazon or iTunes and star huge names such as Lindsey Morgan, Rhona Mitra, James Cosmo and Alexander Siddig.The trilogy's director Liam O'Donnell shares his filmmaking secrets with presenter and actress, Aiysha Jebali as they discuss everything from writing the treatments to post production spending and everything else in-between.These films certainly pack a punch with phenomenal stunt artists from The Raid (2011), James Bond: Skyfall (2012) and Captain Marvel (2019), alongside actors like Daniel Bernhardt and Cha-Lee Yoon being willing and more than capable of doing their own action sequences too.Logline: "When a virus threatens to turn the now earth-dwelling friendly alien hybrids against humans, Captain Rose Corley must lead a team of elite mercenaries on a mission to the alien world in order to save what's left of humanity."_____________________________________________________________________________________Film Forums Podcast focuses on the people of film and how they have put their work in the public eye with success.

You'll get the lowdown on why he isn't on the show this week, along with some stories about male strippers and his Blood Bucket Challenge for Scares That Care.   Next, Jesse takes a few minutes to talk about the newest Nic Cage movie (surprised?), Rage, and Jeff sticks up for the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie by laying out the reasons why it's actually not as bad as the Internet might have you believe... No childhoods were raped during this discussion.   Then, it's on to a full review about Guardians of the Galaxy. Jesse and Jeff tell you why you should see it, give their full reactions, and discuss how excited they are for James Gunn (and how much of a boner Jesse has for Bradley Cooper).   As always, you can expect inappropriate humor, wild tangents, and all sorts of genre film talk...   If streaming isn't your thing, you may Download the MP3 Directly here or Subscribe Via iTunes.   iTunes listeners: Please take a moment to leave us a rating/review, and we will share it on an upcoming podcast!   The Dead Air Horror & Genre Podcast is brought to you by GenreWatch,The Liberal Dead, and Doc Terror. Be sure to visit the sites for more great content!   Looking to order any of the titles we discussed on this show?
