We finally get to 1974 science fiction film written, produced, and directed by John Boorman – ZARDOZ! I've been putting off podcasting about this one for years because I wanted to take the time to do it right. When it was released the general reception of the film was overwhelmingly negative with critics claiming it to be deeply confusing but in the ensuing decades it has undergone a major reappraisal to become a beloved cult classic. Critics and audiences have always been sharply divided between viewing it as a profound, avant-garde masterpiece or an incredibly pretentious, muddled mess. What do we think of this ambitious work? Oh, there are so many thoughts! Randy Fox joins me to dig deeply into the layers of subtle and very unsubtly meanings floating around in ZARDOZ. Some areas of conversation prove to be shallow (Sean Connery's costume) but others show that the film is capable of creating discussions that pose serious questions about the human condition and the societies we build. Certainly, Boorman saw the divide between rich and poor with clear eyes although his solutions seem fairly murky. As you might expect the film is shot-through with ideas and situations that seem possible only in the 1970's with the hippie overhang of the 60's being slowly crushed by the inevitable conservative snap-back. But time has shown that the universal concepts the film plays with linger long after the film ends. Packed with images no one had ever conceived before or since, the film must be experienced at least once to determine if it will resonate with your mind. And I need to stop searching for my own private Vortex – with or without Charlotte Rampling! Although I could use a giant floating head for my work commute.   We would love to hear your Second Level thoughts on ZARDOZ or any other film we've covered on the show.

This week, 3 Guys in a Flick are reporting for duty with Goldfinger, the 1964 Bond classic where Sean Connery fully locks into 007 mode and the franchise formula turns to solid gold. From Shirley Bassey's unforgettable theme song to the Aston Martin DB5, Oddjob's deadly hat, Goldfinger's over-the-top villainy, and the legendary Fort Knox finale, the guys break down why this film became the blueprint for generations of Bond movies. They discuss the film's massive blockbuster impact, Guy Hamilton's influence on the Bond/Q dynamic, standout performances from Connery, Gert Frobe, Honor Blackman, and Harold Sakata, and whether the movie still earns its golden reputation today. Expect spoilers, trivia, gadgets, gold paint, questionable villain decisions, pacing debates, and plenty of shaken-not-stirred banter as Don, John, and Ken take aim at one of the most iconic entries in the James Bond franchise.

The Top 100 Project

It's as if 007 went to prison for decades, was let out by government guys played by John Spencer & William Forsythe and then he had to help a nerdy Nicolas Cage save hostages on a deserted island. Well, hold up, that IS the plot of The Rock! Michael Bay's action movie is deeper than you might expect, with Ed Harris playing a superstar Marine general who becomes a terrorist…with sympathetic complexity. Cage is the out-of-his-element expert on chemical weapons who teams with Sean Connery's Bond-like ex-spy who once escaped from Alcatraz. The flick is a Bay/Bruckheimer/Simpson collab so it's gaudy, loud, tart-tongued and very exciting. Those 2 Mexican stand-offs are phenomenal scenes. There's death and destruction in The Rock, sure, yet it's just fun. So, yesh, cut Agent Goodspeed some slack as he battles the guy threatening to launch deadly gas while mourning his men (and "his wife") in this 744th episode. Well, Actually: Mason uses SF Information to find his daughter...he doesn't just magically remember a phone number he never had. Also, the funny line about bailing on lemons is in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, not I Love You, Man. Also also, it DOES seem like Tony Todd's character knocks over a rock on purpose to start a massacre in the shower scene...and also at least SOME of Hummel's marines are killed when that "all enemies…foreign, sir, and domestic" melee is over.

Nobody Gets Off This Staircase: Krissy, Nathan, and Pete Take On The UntouchablesWelcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies. Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell are joined by special guest Pete Wright—podcast impresario and pod boss at TruStory FM—to dig into Brian De Palma's The Untouchables (1987), where the real question isn't whether Al Capone goes down, but how far a straight-arrow fed is willing to bend to make it happen.The central tension here is a juicy one: Kevin Costner's deliberately bland Elliot Ness surrounded by Sean Connery's full-voltage Obi-Wan energy and Andy Garcia's silk-jacketed handsomeness. Is Costner's wooden earnestness a character choice or just… Costner being Costner? The gang has feelings. Meanwhile, Pete makes a compelling case that David Mamet is at his very best when someone else is in the director's chair—and that De Palma's camera (hello, split diopter) transforms stilted period dialogue into something genuinely cinematic.What keeps the conversation sparking is the sheer audacity of the filmmaking: an improvised staircase sequence that became the movie's most iconic scene, Armani-clad gangsters that make everyone want to buy overcoats for a city they don't live in, and a baby carriage that shows up twice in two consecutive episodes of the pod. The episode stays premise-level throughout, so you can jump in clean and still feel every gut punch.TruStory FM | Membership (early, ad-free access + bonus content): Join | Socials: Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | Learn more about the hosts: Neighborhood Comedy Theatre | Squishy StudiosIf you could only pick one scene from this movie to show someone who'd never seen it, which one would you choose—and why? ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.

Dana and Tom with 5x Club Member, Jesse Sertle (Fellow group member of CineMadison) discuss The Rock (1996) for its 30th anniversary: directed by Michael Bay, written by David Weisberg, Douglas S. Cook, and Mark Rosner, cinematography by John Schwartzman, editing by Richard Francis-Bruce, music by Nick Glennie-Smith and Hans Zimmer, starring Sean Connery, Ed Harris, and Nicolas Cage.Plot Summary: In The Rock, a rogue U.S. general (Ed Harris) seizes Alcatraz Island and threatens San Francisco with stolen chemical weapons, forcing an unlikely duo—a bookish FBI chemist (Nicolas Cage) and a vanished‑from‑the‑grid ex‑spy (Sean Connery) —into the island's fog‑shrouded fortress. As they infiltrate the abandoned prison's tunnels and rusted battlements, the mission becomes a tense clash of wills and philosophies, where loyalty, guilt, and the weight of past secrets press in as heavily as the Pacific mist. The Rock turns into a high‑stakes pressure cooker, inviting you into a world where every corridor hums with danger and every choice feels like it could tip the balance.Guest:Jesse Sertle (5x Club Member)Fellow group member of CineMadisonPreviously on Rounders (1998), Easy Rider (1969), and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019), Star Wars (1977)@jsertle on IGChapters:00:00 Introduction, Cast, and Background for The Rock03:00 Welcome Back, Jesse Sertle06:04 Tom's Difficulty with Michael Bay08:55 Relationship(s) with The Rock14:07 Michael Bay19:28 Nicolas Cage23:24 Sean Connery25:23 How to Enjoy Any Michael Bay Movie26:25 Plot Summary for The Rock27:23 What is The Rock About?28:41 Did You Know?32:39 First Break33:22 What's Happening with Jesse Sertle?34:03 Best Performance(s)39:51 Best Scene(s)47:22 Second Break48:14 Best/Funniest Lines51:24 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy57:09 The Stanley Rubric - Impact/Significance01:01:45 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty01:05:02 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness01:11:53 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability01:16:10 The Stanley Rubric - Audience Score and Final Total01:17:49 Remaining Questions for The Rock01:20:19 Thank You to Jesse and Remaining Thoughts01:23:33 CreditsYou can also find this episode in full video on YouTube.You can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky, Threads, YouTube, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast).For more on the episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/the-rock-1996-ft-jesse-sertleFor the entire rankings list so far, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/greatest-movie-of-all-time-listKeywords:The Rock, Michael Bay, Nicolas Cage, Sean Connery, Ed Harris, 90s action movies, film critique, behind the scenes, movie analysis, film analysis, movie review, 90s cinema, rewatchability, film legacyRonny Duncan Studios

Take pleasure in the gut-wrenching excitement of a 90s action milestone! This week on The Dana Buckler Show, we are heading straight to Alcatraz to break down Michael Bay's 1996 definitive high-concept thriller, The Rock.Coming off the success of Bad Boys, Michael Bay was handed the keys to a massive blockbuster budget, a killer premise, and an absolutely legendary cast. The result? A beautifully shot, fast-paced, explosion-filled masterpiece that stands as a high-water mark for the golden era of 90s action cinema and Hollywood summer blockbusters.In this cinema retrospective, film historian Dana Buckler dives deep into: The Powerhouse Trio: The incredible, lightning-in-a-bottle chemistry between Nicolas Cage's frantic, vinyl-loving FBI chemical weapons expert Stanley Goodspeed and Sean Connery's sophisticated, badass British operative John Patrick Mason. The Sympathetic Villain: Ed Harris's brilliant, nuanced performance as General Hummel—an antagonist with legitimate, tragic motives that elevate the stakes way beyond a standard hostage situation. The Pinnacle of 90s Action: From the iconic, destructive Ferrari car chase through the streets of San Francisco to the brutal shower room standoff, we break down why the practical effects and set pieces in this film still hold up today. The Uncredited Script Doctors: How Hollywood legends like Quentin Tarantino, Aaron Sorkin, and Jonathan Hensleigh secretly helped polish the razor-sharp dialogue. Whether you're a long-time fan who can quote "Your best! Losers always whine about their best" line-for-line, or you're revisiting this classic Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer production era for the first time, grab your green smoke and join us for the ultimate film review.Welcome to The Rock!Join our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/danabucklershowJoin my Patreon for early access to all episodes, plus a new exclusive podcast, go to Patreon.com/howisthismovieSubscribe to the podcast on your favorite podcast platform by going to https://linktr.ee/DanaBucklerShowJoin our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/danabucklershowJoin Our Patreon for early access to all episodes, plus a new exclusive podcast, go to Patreon.com/howisthismovie #TheRock #TheDanaBuckler Show #90sAction #NicolasCage #SeanConnery #MichaelBay #FilmPodcast #MovieHistory #CinemaRetrospective #ActionMovies #90sCinema #FilmBuff

Hammer Horror delivered one of its finest 1970s films with Blood from the Mummy's Tomb, despite a notoriously cursed production. This 1971 British release is the studio's fourth and final Mummy film, loosely adapted by Christopher Wicking from Bram Stoker's 1903 novel The Jewel of Seven Stars. Crucially, it remains the only entry in the franchise where a physical mummy never actually appears.The trouble began early when a gap in the studio schedule forced the film into premature production. Wicking wanted to keep Stoker's original book title, but James Carreras refused, leading to a brainstorming session that birthed Blood from the Mummy's Tomb – a title Wicking never expected them to use. Wicking also clashed with producer Howard Brandy and was barred from the set, forcing him to work with director Seth Holt secretly in the evenings. Brandy later claimed the script was unshootable and heavily rewritten by Holt. Brandy also wanted to cast Amy Grant, but Sir James Carreras insisted on Valerie Leon.Tragedy struck five weeks into the six-week shoot when Seth Holt suffered a fatal heart attack on set, collapsing into the arms of actor Aubrey Morris. Michael Carreras tried to recruit Don Sharp to finish the film, but Sharp was committed to a project in Israel. Michael Carreras ultimately directed the final week himself, later noting that Holt's footage did not cut together well, forcing them to salvage what they could.Valerie Leon shines in the dual roles of Margaret Fuchs and Queen Tera. Beyond her famous Hai Karate aftershave adverts and seven Carry On appearances – including Carry On Christmas: Carry On Stuffing – Leon delivered a critically praised performance but clashed with the studio. She was deeply upset when producers denied her time off to attend Holt's funeral, and her refusal to perform a nude scene required a body double. Hammer never hired her again. Her career later included roles alongside two different James Bonds, Roger Moore and Sean Connery.The supporting cast features incredible British character talent. James Villiers plays Corbeck, George Coulouris plays Berigan, and Aubrey Morris features as Doctor Putnum. Morris was described by Jeremy Brett to Noël Coward as the finest small-part player in London, boasting roles in The Wicker Man, A Clockwork Orange, and as the bubble-bathing B-Ark captain in The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Rosalie Crutchley plays Helen Dickerson. James Cossins brings his trademark blustering authority to the role of an abusive psychiatric nurse, and a young Anthony Head makes an uncredited appearance.Andrew Keir plays Julian Fuchs, stepping in after Peter Cushing completed just one day of filming before leaving due to his wife's emphysema diagnosis. Keir's presence links back to our Quatermass and the Pit reviews, Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D., and Cleopatra alongside Richard Burton. The film is elevated by a brilliant electronic score by Tristram Ogilvie Cary, the pioneer who founded EMS, created the VCS 3 synthesiser, and composed the music for the first Doctor Who Dalek serial.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

Remember The Untouchables from 1987 starring Kevin Costner & Sean Connery? We remember it being the bee's knees. A real hotsy-totsy gangster picture where every problem could be solved with a quick quip & a Tommy Gun. Every scene is packed with tough mugs, and enough lead flying around Chicago to start a scrap metal shortage. We remember Robert De Niro's Al Capone being one scary palooka, and our good guys trying to clean up the town one wise guy at a time. But is this Prohibition-era classic still the cat's pajamas, or has it gone the way of bathtub gin and twenty-cent cigars?

This time he celebrates The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, the infamous 2003 box office flop based on the Alan Moore graphic novel and starring Sean Connery. Tom breaks down why he loves it, why it failed, why it maybe didn't deserve to, and how so many of Moore's other works have ended up as rough movie adaptations. Then, with May just getting started, Nick puts Esmeralda Leon through a themed quiz all about the month. They cover everything from May Day traditions and the official flowers of May to Amelia Earhart and more. It's gonna be May. [Ep 451]
