Podcast appearances and mentions of Sean Connery

Solo puede quedar uno, pero cuatro décadas después, la obra cumbre de Russell Mulcahy sigue viva. En esta nueva entrega principal de Criterio Cero, celebramos el 40 aniversario de Los Inmortales (Highlander, 1986) regresando a nuestros propios orígenes. Años después de aquel breve repaso a toda la franquicia en nuestra primera temporada, nos marcamos nuestro propio remake: aparcamos las secuelas para desenvainar la katana y analizar, con todo el detalle que merecía, la película original que definió a una generación. En este episodio: La dirección videoclipera y revolucionaria de Russell Mulcahy: transiciones imposibles, estética ochentera y lluvia constante. El carisma de Christopher Lambert frente a la imponente y desatada presencia del Kurgan de Clancy Brown. Sean Connery como el mentor definitivo: lecciones de esgrima, acento escocés fingiendo ser español y química pura. La inmortal banda sonora de Queen y Michael Kamen, el alma emocional de la historia. Curiosidades del rodaje, coreografías de espada y el legado de un clásico de culto irrepetible. Acompañan en este duelo a muerte Ale Oñate, Álvaro Gil, Fede Alcántara y Salva Vargas. Afilad el acero y dadle al play. Este programa cuenta con la producción ejecutiva de nuestr@s mecenas, l@s grandes, l@s únicos Kamy, Lobo Columbus, Enfermera en Mordor, Javier Ramírez, Shinyoru, Lestat, Kal-el__80, Cohaggen, Elena Gómez, José Ángel Sanz, Rudy Ayose, Ed Salas, Mario López, Sergio, Cristina AR, Bichodiablo, Javi, Iñaki Pinto, Alejandro Martínez Ribes, AgVe, David Torrent Durán, Fran Dacon, Olgafies, Ch4m0n1x, Ian Pérez, Fmayo. ¿Quieres ayudarnos a seguir mejorando y creciendo?

Episode 465: The Crew's figuring out what things do react well to bullets while watching John McTiernan's The Hunt for Red October. This 90's sub film was a box-office hit and start of the Jack Ryan franchise, but Sean Connery steals the film and Jack Ryan (played only once by Alec Baldwin) ends up being the least interesting supporting character.

Reel Comic Heroes 002 - Dr No Audio CommentaryOriginally published: 8/30/2015This is the one that started it all. Join us, Citizens, as we dive into the world of oo7. Sean Connery stars as Ian Fleming's James Bond and is joined by Ursula Andress as Honey Rider in Dr. No.  eMail: ⁠reelcomicheroes@gmail.com⁠Facebook.com/ReelComicHeroesInstagram @reelComicHeroesDiscuss the episode over on the Facebook group: ⁠The Reel Comic Heroes League of Citizens⁠Follow @ReelComicHeroes on ⁠Letterboxd⁠Join us for our next movie review - From Russia with Love

In the first of a special series of episodes, we're delighted to welcome everyone's favourite music video director, Vaughan Arnell, to Robbie Williams Rewind!Described by Robbie Williams's own website as “a collaborator almost as central to Robbie's story as Guy Chambers”, Vaughan has directed some of the most iconic music videos of Robbie's career. His extraordinary CV also includes videos for the Spice Girls, George Michael, Terence Trent D'Arby, Jamiroquai, One Direction and many more.In this episode, Vaughan takes us right back to the beginning, recalling the first time he worked with Robbie when, alongside Anthea Benton, he directed Take That's ‘Back For Good'. He shares his first impressions of Robbie, as well as some valuable lessons learnt from spending a music video shoot working with a lot of water!Vaughan then took the helm for ‘Angels', immortalising Robbie in stunning black and white on the beach at Saunton Sands, before filming him amongst netball-playing girls in London's Paternoster Square. Vaughan reveals what happened the night before the Devon shoot, when he and Rob were very nearly refused dinner at their hotel, and remembers the extraordinary reaction Robbie received in London while filming the kissing scene.Following the success of ‘Angels', Vaughan directed ‘Let Me Entertain You', bringing Robbie's vision of becoming a member of KISS spectacularly to life — complete with leotard, make-up, a full rock 'n' roll band, pole dancers and groupies.It was on the set of ‘Let Me Entertain You' that Robbie first played Vaughan his new song ‘Millennium' and announced that he wanted to be James Bond in the video. Vaughan helped turn that idea into reality in glorious Sean Connery style at Pinewood Studios — where he and Robbie even received a rather unexpected visitor while standing beside 007's Aston Martin! The video went on to win Best British Video at the 1999 BRIT Awards.And then came perhaps Robbie's most iconic video of all: ‘Rock DJ'. Voted the third greatest pop video of all time by the public in a 4Music poll in 2010, and winner of Best British Video at the 2001 BRIT Awards, its unforgettable concept became a defining moment in Robbie's career. Vaughan tells us how the video was brought to life, including the unexpected challenge of discovering that some of his roller-skating models… couldn't actually roller-skate!From rain-soaked Take That to Angels on the beach, Robbie as James Bond and the extraordinary creation of ‘Rock DJ', this is a fascinating journey through some of the most memorable music videos in British pop history.We hope you're as excited as we are to hear Vaughan's stories on Robbie Williams Rewind!======**About Robbie Williams Rewind**Join husband and wife Matt and Lucy, as they rewind through legendary pop star Robbie Williams' solo career.  Each episode, they have a guest fan to help us relive Robbie's incredible music and tours.Visit: robbiewilliamsrewind.com to discover more episodes, track listings & photos!Follow: @rewindrobbie on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube,  X & TikTok.

Fox 5 Las Vegas morning anchor Jason Feinberg sits down with Green Room Radio for an unfiltered conversation spanning two decades of broadcast television, celebrity encounters at E! Entertainment, and the realities of dating in Las Vegas. The three-time Emmy winner reveals how Ryan Seacrest cost him a full-time job, what really happens inside the Playboy Mansion, and why Steve Martin sent him a handwritten apology letter.Feinberg traces his unlikely path from a radio sales internship at KRQ in Tucson to anchoring four hours of live television every morning, detailing stops across 11 TV markets including Palm Springs, Birmingham, Midland-Odessa, and finally Las Vegas in 2006. His red carpet stories from E! Television include encounters with Sean Connery, Cameron Diaz, Shania Twain, Paul Walker, and Matthew Broderick — some charming, some awkward, all told with the candor of someone who has interviewed more celebrities than he can count.The conversation shifts into the mechanics of modern news reporting, including the two-source verification standard at Fox 5, the station's partnership with TMZ for breaking celebrity news, and whether social media content creators are pressuring traditional newsrooms. Feinberg shares the emotional weight of covering a murder victim's family in Alabama and the uncomfortable position of reporting on a friend's DUI arrest. Shane Sparks, Lil Rach, and Jen Garcia steer the discussion into dating culture, zodiac compatibility, the Vegas social scene, and whether the NFL manipulates outcomes for sportsbooks.Feinberg also addresses artificial intelligence replacing news anchors, the WNBA controversy surrounding Caitlin Clark, and why he believes radio faces extinction before television does. After 20 years at the same station, he remains one of the longest-tenured on-air personalities in Las Vegas local news.

You'll hear about a dangerous stunt that nearly went very wrong. And you'll discover small wardrobe choices that connect this movie to Bond's very first outing.

Whether you grew up watching this movie or you're discovering it for the first time, there's something new to catch here. Casual fans will be surprised. Die-hard Bond collectors will still learn something too. Grab your headphones, settle in, and get ready to see DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER in a whole new light. This episode blends trivia, humor, and sharp observation for a fun deep dive any classic movie lover will enjoy. Episode Highlights        A real dream from producer Cubby Broccoli inspired this movie's villain.        A dangerous on-set stunt nearly turned into a real-life scare.           A subtle wardrobe choice quietly links this movie to Bond's very first mission.        A tiny broken prop becomes a major clue near the movie's climax.  

This week on Born to Watch, we head into Prohibition-era Chicago for The Untouchables 1987 Review, revisiting Brian De Palma's stylish gangster classic starring Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, Robert De Niro and Andy Garcia. It's cops, Capone, Tommy guns, questionable accents, immaculate suits and enough testosterone to make this one of the great 1980s sausage fests. More importantly, this special episode is dedicated to our great mate Chupperz, who requested the film. Chupperz, this one is for you.Released in 1987, The Untouchables takes us into the battle between federal agent Eliot Ness and Chicago crime boss Al Capone. Kevin Costner plays Ness as the ultimate straight-laced good guy, determined to bring Capone down legally, at least until Chicago starts teaching him that playing by the rules might not be enough.Enter Sean Connery as Jimmy Malone.Connery won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the role, and the boys spend plenty of time discussing whether he is also the real star of the movie. Malone brings the experience, attitude, and gravitas Ness needs, along with one of the best approaches to law enforcement ever put on screen. If they pull a knife, you might want to start thinking about bringing something slightly more substantial.Then there's Andy Garcia as George Stone, young, ridiculously cool, deadly accurate and sporting enough back hair to qualify as an additional cast member. Garcia doesn't need many lines to make an impression. He simply turns up, looks cool and shoots people with an accuracy that would make most action heroes jealous.And then we get Bobby De Niro.Robert De Niro goes full method as Al Capone, putting on the weight and delivering a wonderfully smug, intimidating performance. The problem? Whitey wants more of him. A lot more. The discussion turns to whether The Untouchables missed an opportunity by keeping Capone relatively limited, instead of giving De Niro more screen time and letting the film explore both sides of the battle.There's also plenty of love for Brian De Palma's direction. This movie is packed with memorable filmmaking, from brutal moments of violence to beautifully constructed suspense. The famous Union Station sequence remains the standout, slowly tightening the tension before everything explodes. Even if the boys have a few questions about that pram, the woman carrying it, the strangely busy midnight railway station and why nobody thought to give her a hand.The episode also digs into Ennio Morricone's brilliant score, one of the elements that immediately gives The Untouchables its identity. The music is bold, instantly recognisable and a massive part of why the movie still feels so cinematic decades later.Of course, this is Born to Watch, so respectful film analysis only lasts so long.The boys question continuity problems, Sean Connery's Scottish take on an Irish accent, Frank Nitti's questionable escape plan, Capone's all-in-one grooming experience, Costner's white-knight energy, and whether a piece of paper listing bribed jurors would really be enough to send a courtroom completely sideways.There's also the usual trip through The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Snorbs Report, Film School for F-Wits, quotables, trivia and the random tangents that somehow turn a discussion about a Brian De Palma gangster movie into conversations that have absolutely no right being there.But beneath all the piss-taking is genuine appreciation for a movie that still looks fantastic. The costumes, locations, production design and old-school filmmaking give The Untouchables a scale and atmosphere that remains impressive nearly four decades later.Is Costner charismatic enough to carry it? Is Connery actually the MVP? Should De Niro have been given far more screen time? Is the Union Station shootout still one of the great action sequences of the 1980s?And most importantly, where does The Untouchables eventually land in the sacred halls of the Born to Watch Rank Bank?You'll have to listen to find out.JOIN THE CONVERSATIONThink The Untouchables is an untouchable 1980s classic? Let us know your favourite scene, character and quote. And if you've got a movie you think deserves the full Born to Watch treatment, send it our way. Just remember, as Chupperz discovered, getting your movie selected also means giving the boys permission to absolutely tear it apart.Born to Watch, the Movie Review Podcast where we don't take the movies, or ourselves, too seriously.#TheUntouchables #TheUntouchables1987 #BornToWatch #MovieReviewPodcast #KevinCostner #SeanConnery #RobertDeNiro #AndyGarcia #BrianDePalma #80sMovies

Full episodes and much more available on Patreon.com/slopquest The boys open the show with impressions of Sean Connery being racist. This leads to garrison Keillor impressions. There’s some medi-evac talk. Then they talk about how bad they would both be as spies. Then they talk about why fighter pilots need two people in the cockpit: to operate the cd player and George Formen grills. Ryan insists that scientists don’t know how wings work. Then they come up with a curriculum for fighter pilot school. Andy blows Ryan’s mind with the idea of a “provisional license” and is finally proven right on a fact. Ryan reveals that he would be a bad father because he wouldn’t let his kid touch his Porsche posters with syrup all over their hands. Ryan then invents a shower bidet that’s just a slightly smaller shower for your ass. Andy falls in love with Sword and Buckler while Ryan makes fun of his “tiny little shield”. Ryan, Andy and Google AI get into a heated argument about Bang Bus. This leads to an argument over the legality of blasting fuck noises on giant speakers throughout a neighborhood. This leads to a crash out where Ryan tells google Ai that Andy has an iq of 82. This crescendos with Andy absolutely losing his shit on Ryan and screaming at him.

Shauna and Olivia are joined by producer, essayist, and screenwriter Daniel de Boulay for this episode. Daniel has worked as an Acquisitions Executive at Sony Pictures for several years and is an alum of the Academy Awards Gold program. He is also an accomplished music producer and composer and is currently working on an essay about James Bond for the website The Splice. Daniel tells the Junkies about the film acquisitions process, what he's working on currently, and how open mic night at comedy clubs is its own kind of therapy. He talks about how he became an essayist and discusses his essay on James Bond (both what his editor will and won't allow him to write about.) How has the character of James Bond evolved from the pages of Ian Fleming's novels to the portrayal by actors like Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Daniel Craig, and what will the character be like in the future as a product of Amazon? Visit Daniel de Boulay's website, danieldeboulay.com and find him on Threads: @deboulay.mxf. You can watch the Pop Culture Junkie Podcast on YouTube!

Hey, Scuttlebutt listeners. Thank you for joining us and your continued support. This week, we bring you another installment of Semper Cinema with our review of the Marine Corps classic, The Wind and the Lion. I reference it as a Marine Corps classic because, as every Gen X Marine can attest, clips from the movie have been used as an attention-grabber in just about every class, period of instruction, and formal school. The Wind and the Lion stars Sean Connery, Candice Bergen, and Brian Keith. It was released in 1975 and is loosely based on the Perdicaris Affair of 1904. To help us break down the film is returning guest, author, podcaster, history nerd, and movie aficionado, LtCol Josh Bates (Ret.). We talk about the conflict between the film's narrative arc and the historical accuracy of the event it attempts to portray, the cast performances, the film's relevance to modern-day audiences, and what Marines can take away from it. Josh has great insights, and it was a lot of fun to dive into this movie with him. Enjoy! The post #256: Semper Cinema – The Wind and the Lion with Josh Bates first appeared on Marine Corps Association.

The title may be a little misleading, but this episode celebrates the three times Saturday Night Live was hosted by actors who played James Bond…three episodes featuring only two Bonds. Nick begins with Pierce Brosnan’s hilarious 2001 appearance, complete with behind-the-scenes stories, his memorable monologue featuring a surprise guest, a sharp West Wing parody, and a terrific sketch with Will Ferrell as an absolutely terrifying boss. Then it’s on to Daniel Craig’s two turns as host in 2012 and 2020, featuring unforgettable sketches about some very questionable Bond Girls, an awkward construction site full of terrible catcallers, and a friendly game night that quickly goes off the rails. Along the way, Nick shares more behind-the-scenes stories and wraps things up with a special montage of Sean Connery’s greatest moments from Celebrity Jeopardy. Bond. James Bond. Saturday. Night.

That means everything from miscarriage-of-justice anger to escape-movie comfort food, brutal borstal drama, wizard prisons, sitcom prisons and, naturally, George Clooney being offensively cool in Out of Sight.Along the way we discuss:In the Name of the Father and the fury of the Guildford Four injusticeThe Shawshank Redemption, new fish, Red, Andy Dufresne and the power of endless TV rewatchabilityThe Green Mile as another Stephen King prison classicBirdman of Alcatraz, Escape from Alcatraz and The Rockwhy Pete is missed whenever a Sean Connery impression is requiredBrubaker, with Robert Redford discovering prison corruption from the insidethe glorious stupidity of Prison Break and its tattooed escape-plan premiseScum, Midnight Express, Azkaban and The Great EscapeFolsom Prison Blues, Jailhouse Rock, I Fought the Law and John Lennon's Attica StatePorridge, HMP Slade and Fletcher trying to survive the system by wisecrackingEscape from Sobibor and the power of stories about people walking out through horrorOut of Sight, Glades Correctional Institution and the possibly illegal hotness of George ClooneyThen we review Sing Sing, directed by Greg Kwedar and starring Colman Domingo as John “Divine G” Whitfield. Inspired by the real Rehabilitation Through the Arts programme at Sing Sing Correctional Facility, the film follows a group of incarcerated men who use theatre to build community, process emotion and make something together in a place designed to strip people of freedom.The film opens with Divine G performing on stage. For a moment, it could be Broadway. Then the prison reality returns: standing to attention, routines, walls, control. That contrast becomes the film's central power. Inside the rehearsal room, the men are not reduced to their crimes or their sentences. They are actors, writers, collaborators, comedians and friends.A big part of the film's authenticity comes from the cast. Alongside professional actors like Domingo and Paul Raci, many performers are real RTA alumni and formerly incarcerated men playing versions of themselves. Sidey and Dan both pick up on how much that matters. The film feels lived-in because many of the faces on screen have lived some version of this world.The main dramatic spark comes when Clarence “Divine Eye” Maclin joins the theatre group. He is guarded, tough and suspicious of vulnerability, but he is also the person who suggests the troupe should make a comedy instead of another serious drama. That choice leads to Breakin' the Mummy's Code, a real RTA production full of time travel, ancient Egypt, Hamlet and absolute chaos.Sidey had not heard of Sing Sing before this week and might not have watched it without the nomination, but he is very glad he did. Dan is just as positive. The dads admire the film's warmth, pace and humanity, and the way it avoids becoming either a grim prison misery parade or a simplistic “art fixes everything” story.It is moving, funny, generous and grounded — a prison film about performance, friendship, grief, justice and purpose.Strong recommend from both dads.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Scott Spiezio is on Celebrity Jobber with Jeff Zito this week. What type of work would Scott be doing if he were never a professional baseball player? If you didn't know, Scott is well known for his time with the Anaheim Angels, when he hit a three-run home run in Game Six of the 2002 World Series against the San Francisco Giants. Many celebrities will tell you that if not for that one lucky break or meeting, they would have been a Coffin polisher, like Sean Connery, or working in a slaughterhouse like Ozzy Osbourne. In other words, they may have been just a jobber. Thanks for listening. Please rate, review, and subscribe to the Celebrity Jobber with Jeff Zito wherever you pod.

He's Not Canon, But He's Bond: Revisiting Never Say Never AgainWelcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Show. Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell welcome special guest Pete Wright of Trustory.fm to dig into Never Say Never Again (1983), the unofficial Bond outing that dragged Sean Connery back into the tux via one very petty lawsuit.The trio wrestles with this film's odd status: no John Barry theme, no Aston Martin, yet a leading man everyone insists is somehow the definitive 007 anyway. That push-pull between “unofficial” and “essential” drives the talk, especially once conversation turns to how this Connery stacks up against every other Bond.From there it's conversation fuel: a laser watch treated like scripture, a shark chase that may have inspired an Austin Powers bit, and a supporting cast the hosts can't stop gushing over, including a memorable early film role. Very-1983 touches keep things loose.It lands somewhere warm and a little chaotic, fitting for a movie that sits in a contested corner of a franchise everyone loves arguing about. Nothing here spoils the plot, so newcomers and completists can listen freely.LinksTruStory 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 keep just one gadget from this movie for yourself, which would it be? ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.

Long before Sean Connery ordered his first martini, spy movies already had rules. This episode uncovers the Hitchcock blueprint James Bond secretly followed for decades. Hosts Dan and Tom trace espionage cinema back to the 1930s, when Alfred Hitchcock quietly invented the modern spy movie. Movies like The 39 Steps and Foreign Correspondent introduced ideas Ian Fleming would later borrow. Suspense built from uncertainty. Ordinary people caught in extraordinary plots. Villains who looked nothing like villains. Fleming studied these movie techniques closely. He even admired Hitchcock enough to suggest him as director for Thunderball. This episode connects the dots between Hitchcock's early spy movies and the world of 007. You will hear how Notorious shaped Bond's approach to romance and danger. You will learn how Sabotage taught filmmakers to build suspense from what audiences already know. And you will discover why Fleming's Bond became something Hitchcock's heroes never could. This is not just movie trivia. It is the hidden history behind one of cinema's most iconic characters. Ready to see Bond differently? Press play and find out how much of 007 started decades before Fleming ever picked up a pen.

Matt joins me to chat about the Non EON Produced Bond film from 1983 that saw the return of Sean Connery as 007. We're talking about Never Say Never Again.

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, we complete our accidental trilogy of “third things.” After covering Close Encounters of the Third Kind on the midweek show, we turn to Army of Darkness, Sam Raimi's third Evil Dead film, and use that as an excuse to dig into the noble, messy and often suspicious art of the threequel.There is no formal intro this week — time has apparently been attacked by Deadites — so we open with a catch-up on what everyone has been watching. Reegs has been busy with Backrooms, Obsession, Disclosure Day and Apple TV's Cape Fear, which gets a recommendation so long as you know going in that it is extremely ridiculous. Sidey has finally finished The Pit, finding the second season weaker than the first but still worth the time, and has also watched Backrooms and started The Mandalorian. Dan has finished series five of Slow Horses, which he continues to push as an absolute treat, and has also seen The Odyssey at the cinema, where three hours apparently went by surprisingly quickly.That leads us into the usual wandering preamble: 4DX screenings with shaking seats, water and wind; panoramic side-screen cinema formats; the Sphere in Vegas; Sidey somehow still not having made it to IMAX; Spider-Man: Brand New Day and big cinema opening weekends; Tom Holland and Jon Bernthal on Hot Ones; and the general horror of people getting overconfident with hot sauce before reality arrives in liquid form.The Top 5 this week is third films in a franchise, which gives us one of those lists where genuinely great films sit shoulder to shoulder with absolute nonsense. Dan opens strongly with The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, a film that swept the Oscars so hard it practically brought its own broom. Sidey goes for Toy Story 3, remembering Lotso, Spanish Buzz, the daycare escape, the furnace sequence and the emotional finality of Andy giving up his toys. Reegs makes a spirited defence of The Matrix Revolutions, arguing that its uneasy truce ending and refusal to give everyone a simple victory has aged better than its reputation suggests.From there, we move through Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, with Sean Connery, River Phoenix and the Holy Grail; The Bourne Ultimatum, which Sidey remembers as peak Jason Bourne closure and kinetic shaky-cam action; Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, praised by Reegs for Rocket's unexpectedly emotional backstory; The Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult, because Frank Drebin remains Frank Drebin; and Die Hard with a Vengeance, which gives Sidey an excuse to talk about Zeus, Simon Says, Jeremy Irons and New York puzzle chaos.There are plenty of other third-film detours too, including RoboCop 3, Austin Powers in Goldmember, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Alien 3, John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum, Back to the Future Part III, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, the Cornetto trilogy, Avengers: Infinity War, Blade: Trinity, Karate Kid Part III and Ocean's 13. Sidey bends the rules by choosing the third episode of Twin Peaks, “Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer,” while Dan lands on Before Midnight, the third film in Richard Linklater's Before trilogy.Eventually, we arrive in 1300 AD for Army of Darkness itself. Dan has not seen it, but has correctly gathered that this is not really the same kind of horror film as The Evil Dead. Reegs, who has seen it many times, explains the tonal journey of the series: the first film as bleak, grimy horror; Evil Dead II as a genuine horror-comedy masterpiece; and Army of Darkness as the point where Ash becomes the full cartoon version of himself — part action hero, part idiot, part Bruce Campbell chin-delivery system.We talk about Sam Raimi's direction, Bill Pope's cinematography before The Matrix, Danny Elfman's contribution to the score, and the way Raimi's visual energy clearly echoes forward into later filmmakers such as Edgar Wright. The plot is gloriously simple and gloriously stupid: Ash is dragged through time after Evil Dead II, lands in the middle of a medieval conflict between Lord Arthur and Henry the Red, gets thrown into a pit, fights Deadites, reclaims his chainsaw hand, introduces everyone to the boomstick, and immediately becomes insufferable once the locals start treating him as their prophesied saviour.The film then sends Ash off to retrieve the Necronomicon, with one very clear instruction: say the words “Klaatu barada nikto” before taking the book. Naturally, Ash being Ash, he half-remembers, fudges it and unleashes the titular army of darkness. Along the way we get the windmill sequence, tiny mirror Ashes, Three Stooges slapstick, bad Ash splitting out of good Ash, Sheila falling for exactly the worst man available, and a castle siege finale full of skeletons, homemade weapons, a modified car and Ray Harryhausen-style chaos.We also get into the two endings: the darker UK/director's cut version, where Ash takes too many drops and wakes up in a ruined future, and the more crowd-pleasing US S-Mart ending, where he returns to work, tells the story and gets one last heroic Deadite showdown. Reegs prefers the bleaker ending because it feels funnier and more in keeping with Ash's ability to mess up almost everything.The verdict is affectionate, even if slightly qualified. Reegs still thinks Evil Dead II is the one to watch if you only watch one Evil Dead film, and he does not think Army of Darkness is great in quite the same way. But it is funny, quotable, inventive and packed with cult moments: the boomstick, S-Mart, “primitive screwheads,” bad magic words, skeleton armies and Bruce Campbell at maximum Ash. Sidey thinks Dan would probably enjoy it, describing it as something like The Princess Bride with Ray Harryhausen effects and comedy horror nonsense thrown in.So the final recommendation is simple: if you only watch one, Reegs says watch Evil Dead II. If you ask Sidey, just watch them all.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us. We'll read out any texts we receive on the show.

Braga, King, and Ski keep Spielberg month going with Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Harrison Ford and Sean Connery join forces to take down Nazis in their quest to find The Holy Grail. It fully explores Indy's lore, had banger one liners, and had some big continuity errors. Is it any good? Listen!

A Martin Short documentary introduced me to a new word — tummler — and I haven't stopped thinking about it since.It's a Yiddish word commonly used during the Catskills-era for the person whose actual job was turning a hotel of strangers into a temporary community.Not the performer on stage. The one actually out working the room — at breakfast, the pool, the lobby — making sure nobody's left standing alone.This week I'm making the case that a huge number of the women in our lives are doing this work constantly, for free, and calling it “being nice” instead of what it is: a real, underrated skill.We get into what it looks like, whether it's dying out or just migrating into group chats, and why you should text the tummler in your life and tell her you appreciate her.Also this week: a quick check-in on my July whimsy movie project. Darby O'Gill and the Little People is a glorious practical-effects mess (Sean Connery's Irish accent, less glorious). And A Fish Called Wanda — my first time watching, four decades late — reminded me that Jamie Lee Curtis is stunning, and her wardrobe, whew, I'm still envious of those dresses today. Well, maybe not the bright florals. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.radiantbadass.com

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a 2003 steampunk superhero flick that pulls characters from the first volume of Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's comic series - though honestly, the plot goes off in its own direction and barely resembles the source material. Stephen Norrington (of Blade fame) directed it from a screenplay by comic book and sometime-screenplay writer James Dale Robinson, and the cast includes Sean Connery, Peta Wilson, Naseeruddin Shah, Tony Curran, Stuart Townsend, Shane West, Jason Flemyng, and Richard Roxburgh. It's notable for being Connery's last role in a theatrically released live-action movie before he retired in 2006 (he passed away in 2020). Trevor Jones handled the score.

Did America ever manage to create its own James Bond? This episode traces Hollywood's long hunt for an American James Bond, with historian Alan J. Porter. Long before Sean Connery picked up a Walther PPK, an American actor played Bond first. His name was Barry Nelson, and he showed up on live TV, not the movie screen. We explore how that happened, and why almost nobody remembers it today. Alan Porter wrote James Bond: The History of the Illustrated 007. He also hosts On Her Majesty's Secret Service Podcast. He joins us to unpack the strange story behind Casino Royale '54. We also dig into Hollywood's decades-long attempt to build its own 007. From Derek Flint to Jason Bourne to Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible, American studios keep trying to build a rival for Bond. Does any character actually come close? We compare their style, charisma, and mythology to the real thing. Alan shares two surprising figures nicknamed the American James Bond. One was a real Cold War-era CIA agent. The other is a modern TV action hero. Plus, we preview Alan's upcoming book, Too Many Bonds: The Making of Casino Royale '67. We also talk about his work with the Ian Fleming Foundation. So did America ever truly crack the code on its own 007? Press play and find out.

In 1964 Sean Connery, fresh off of the first 2 James bond films made 3 films, including Goldfinger.But before the 3rd Bond film shocked the world he made 2 soap opera mysteries, Marnie with Alfred Hitchcok, and the movie my guest Lady V and I discuss today on Scene Missing A Woman Of Straw With Sir Ralph Richardson and Gina Lolabrigida It's an interesting film with Connery as Ralph's scheming nephew who wants to kill his uncle and bed his new much younger wife Gina.V also gives her thoughts on Christopher Nolan's The Odyessy 

How did Dr. No transform Sean Connery from a self-described rough diamond into the most sophisticated action hero in cinema?In the first episode of Dressing James Bond, London bespoke tailor Roberto Revilla examines the costumes, tailoring and carefully chosen details that established James Bond's style in 1962 and created a blueprint the series is still following more than sixty years later.Beginning with Connery's iconic entrance at the casino in his midnight-blue dinner suit, Roberto explores the influence of director Terence Young, the tailoring associated with Anthony Sinclair's Conduit Cut and the complicated history behind the shirts, suits and suppliers credited with creating Bond's wardrobe.Along the way, we examine the grey flannel suit that was completely wrong for the Jamaican climate, the lightweight Glen check and mohair suits that worked far better, Bond's navy doeskin blazer, Turnbull & Asser cocktail cuffs, grenadine ties, black Derby shoes and the powder-blue polo shirt and matching trousers worn on Crab Key.We also look beyond Bond himself to explore Dr. No's Nehru-style clothing, the way costume is used to take control away from Bond inside the villain's lair and the collaborative story behind Ursula Andress's famous Honey Ryder bikini.Most importantly, Roberto brings everything back into the real world and asks what men can still learn from Dr. No without dressing as though they're heading to a James Bond fancy-dress convention.Is Connery's midnight-blue dinner suit still the greatest first appearance in film-style history? And if you could take one piece from Bond's Dr. No wardrobe, which would you choose?Follow Tailoring Talk Magazine so you don't miss episode two, when Dressing James Bond continues with From Russia with Love.Read the accompanying article at robertorevillalondon.com.

VX gas. Alcatraz. This week: The Rock (1996) — Nicolas Cage is bringing the chemical warfare, Sean Connery is escaping the inescapable, and we've got Matthew and Dirk from the Accidental Legends podcast joining us to break down the ultimate 90s action masterpiece.

The novelist Graham Greene ranks at number 6 on Tim Shipman's infamous Best Spy Writers list — and yet we haven't given him enough airtime on the podcast. Time to put that right. Graham Greene didn't just write about spies — spying was the family business. His uncle founded Naval Intelligence. His sister recruited him into SIS. And Greene himself walked out of the Service the day before D-Day. Why? The answer may involve his boss and drinking companion: Kim Philby. Guest host Matt Hurst debriefs Professor Kevin Ruane — Greene scholar and Director of the Graham Greene International Festival — on the novelist's secret double life. In this episode: The Greene family spy business: an uncle in Naval Intelligence, a sister in SIS, a brother running black ops in Malaya, and another spying for three countries at once (badly) Why Greene quit SIS on the eve of D-Day — and the Philby theory "Recreational espionage": how Greene's letters reveal decades of meetings with "the old firm" before trips to Vienna, Cuba, Poland and Vietnam The Quiet American: the 1955 novel that predicted the Vietnam War, and why journalists like David Halberstam and Neil Sheehan carried it in their knapsacks Was Greene spying in Vietnam? The "Catholic solution" and the hunt for a third force The 1958 film Greene called a travesty — and his fan letter to Sean Connery for a remake that never happened Greene vs le Carré: the endorsement that made le Carré's name, and the letter that said "you're not my friend" Why Greene would love Slow Horses This is the first of what we hope will be many episodes exploring the great spy novelists — subscribe to Spybrary so you don't miss what's coming. The Graham Greene International Festival runs 24-27 September in Berkhamsted, UK — 30 minutes from London Euston. Spy highlights include Ben Brown's play A Splinter of Ice, Robert Verkaik on The Writer and the Traitor, and le Carré biographer Adam Sisman on Greene and le Carré.
