Podcast appearances and mentions of Shane Black

Today, Shane Black is back, returning to Script Apart four years since his last appearance on the show! His new film Play Dirty is a heist movie that in some ways he's been waiting his whole life to make. Fans of his will know that Shane often centres stories around flawed male characters who are informed by the pulpy novels he grew up reading. After decades creating his own spins on the literary tough guys in those books – such as Riggs in Lethal Weapon and Harry Lockhart in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang – this new film goes straight to the source, directly adapting one of the novelists who inspired him at an early age: Donald E. Westlake, or Richard Stark as he was sometimes known. Westlake wrote 28 books in total about a career criminal named Parker – a cold, calculating loner who lives by a code: thou shalt not double-cross. Unless of course, he's double-crossed first… In this spoiler conversation, Shane tells Al about what Parker means to him as a lonely bookworm adolescent, and how he threaded the needle between this quiet character and the quippy dialogue both he and star Mark Wahlberg specialise in when it came to telling his own Parker story. We get into how he constructs his action scenes, how his writing has and hasn't changed as a result of CGI – and why there was only one outcome possible in this story for a certain character who doesn't make it to the end credits.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

Directed and co-written by Shane Black, Play Dirty is the heist action thriller film based on the “Parker” book series by Donald E. Westlake - out now on Prime Video. An expert thief rolls out the biggest heist of his life. Parker (Mark Wahlberg), along with Grofield (LaKeith Stanfield), Zen (Rosa Salazar), and a skilled crew, stumble onto a score that pits them against the New York mob. We break down all things from the Bond-like opening credits, to the unique score by Alan Silvestri, and of course Shane Black's signature Christmas setting.

A group of 12-year-olds form a Universal Monsters fan club called Monster Squad, and have to attempt to save their hometown from Count Dracula and his monsters when they show up for real.The Monster Squad (1987) is a cult classic horror-comedy that blends childhood adventure with iconic monster mayhem. Directed by Fred Dekker and co-written with Shane Black, it's a nostalgic tribute to Universal's classic monsters with a Goonies-style twist.

CINEMATIC VIOLENCE WILL BE CELEBRATED IN A WAY THAT MAY DISTURB SOME LISTENERS.    Finally, Squib Season (Season 15 of TGTPTU) returns to massive gunplay! This week the hosts repel into the 1980's sci-fi quasi-horror bro-action all-muscle (except maybe Shane Black and/or Elpidia Carrillo) high-octane totally-bitchin' jungle of some unnamed Latin American country to encounter PREDATOR (1987).  Director John McTiernan's follow-up to his 1986 freshman feature film (maybe named “Nomads” who knows? Pierce Brosnan and perhaps supportive family members, maybe the film's producers, and apparently the up-and-coming action star Arnold Schwarzenegger had heard of and/or watched the moody low-budget flick), Predator would launch the moviemaker into the firmament and keep him in Hollywood's heavens following up this constrained-budget film with every film dad's favorite Christmas movie and then their favorite Russian seamen film (before making Medicine Man and Last Action Hero and falling to earth).  If you don't know the plot, why spoil it and who the heck are you anyway and why are you reading the show notes to a movie podcast? Seriously, let us know: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.com. (Unless you're AI, in which case, thanks for helping edit this episode!).  This ep, dive deep into the production (teasers: James Cameron on a plane inspired the alien's design + the Predator's vision not shot on thermographic cameras + stunt-simian monkey + JCVD + Montezuma's revenge + mods were made to the M134 Minigun to make Old Painless work on film) with hosts Ken and Thomas, shallowly with host Ryan, and enjoy some good ol' action fun along with guest host Jack. And if you love butchered quotes and impersonations, this is the ep for you.  Now, Ken, get to the choppa-block and edit this episode, you one ugly motherf--ker.

Shane Black is back ! Avec PLAY DIRTY (autrefois le titre de sa version originale de L'ARME FATALE 2), il adapte - à sa manière - le personnage de Parker, créé par Donald Westlake dans les années 60, et déjà interprété sous divers noms par Lee Marvin, Robert Duvall et Mel Gibson. C'est désormais au tour de Mark Wahlberg - dit Marky Mark - de l'interpréter aux côtés de LaKeith Stanfield dans le rôle de Grofield (et non Grover, Grosmith ou Grochat si on écoute Stéphane dans cet épisode !).

Er det muligt at drukne i sin egen fan-service?I denne episode af Betacritic har Jacob Ege Hinchely besøg af komiker Sofie Skriver, og sammen tager de fat på to aktuelle filmpremierer. Først handler det om Den Sidste Viking, en ny dansk komedie instrueret af Anders Thomas Jensen (Blinkende Lygter, Adams Æbler). Filmen markerer instruktørens tilbagevenden til sin velkendte stil med sort humor, faste ensemble-skuespillere og absurde situationer. Mens nogle elementer vækker nostalgi, bliver både humorens gentagelser og fan-servicen sat under lup. Sofie roser Sofie Gråbøl (Forbrydelsen, Den Eneste Ene) for sin præstation, mens Jacob stiller sig mere kritisk over for både humor og Mads Mikkelsens (Druk, Casino Royale) rolle.Herefter dykker de ned i actionkomedien Play Dirty, instrueret af Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, The Nice Guys). Filmen har Mark Wahlberg (The Departed, Ted) i hovedrollen og Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele, The Super Mario Bros. Movie) på rollelisten. Selvom filmen forsøger at genoplive den hårdtslående one-liner-stil, som Shane Black er kendt for, oplever både Sofie og Jacob den som flad og forglemmelig. De diskuterer, hvorfor den mangler den gnist, der gjorde hans tidligere film så ikoniske, og hvordan castingen påvirker filmens gennemslagskraft.Til sidst deler de deres seneste anbefalinger fra film- og serieverdenen.Tusind tak fordi du lytter med

“Play Dirty” ist einer dieser Filme, die von Anfang an wirken, als wüssten sie nicht, weshalb sie existieren. Man sieht Geld, Aufwand und ein paar große Namen, aber nichts davon führt irgendwohin. Alles wirkt routiniert, glatt und gleichzeitig leer. Shane Black, der früher das Talent hatte, Action und Ironie zu verbinden, scheint hier vor allem sich selbst zu imitieren. Die Szenen folgen einander, ohne dass man das Gefühl hat, irgendetwas würde auf dem Spiel stehen.Mark Wahlberg spielt die Hauptfigur Parker mit der Energie eines Mannes, der schon weiß, dass das alles keine Bedeutung hat. Er ist da, spricht, läuft und kämpft, aber es bleibt nichts. Die Coolness wirkt aufgesetzt, die Härte wirkt müde, und selbst in den Momenten, die spannend sein sollen, bleibt der Film seltsam leblos.Die Geschichte will ein Heist-Thriller sein, irgendwo zwischen moralischem Dilemma und Hochglanz-Action, aber sie hat keine Richtung. Man merkt die Bemühung, clever zu sein, doch es fehlt der Kern. Alles wirkt wie zusammengestückelt, als hätte man Szenen aus besseren Filmen genommen und lose verbunden. Visuell ist “Play Dirty” perfekt ausgeleuchtet und makellos gefilmt, aber genau darin liegt das Problem. Nichts hat Kante. Nach Mut sucht man vergebens.Dieser Amazon-Film ist kein Desaster, er ist schlimmer. Ein Film, der völlig gleichgültig wirkt. Man schaut ihn, vergisst ihn und fragt sich, ob er überhaupt jemals wirklich stattgefunden hat. Get full access to Ronny Rüsch - Filmkritiker at hausmeisterronny.substack.com/subscribe

Welkom bij Nerd Culture #228, de Gamekings podcast waar film, series en popcultuur elkaar weer vol raken. Deze week duiken we in het meganieuws dat Superman en Spider-Man eindelijk samenkomen in een officiële Marvel/DC crossover – een historisch moment voor comicfans. Daarnaast bespreken we Shane Blacks opvallende uitspraak dat Robert Downey Jr. met zijn rol als Doctor Doom het superheldengenre gaat redden.Verder checken we nieuwe trailers van Frankenstein, Psycho Killer en Battle Royale, praten we over de toekomst van Avatar, The Mummy 4, en het krankzinnige budget van Indiana Jones. Natuurlijk ontbreken onze kijkervaringen met The Librarian, Peacemaker en Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man niet.Superman x Spider-Man crossover luidt nieuw tijdperk inMarvel en DC slaan opnieuw de handen ineen — en dit keer met een crossover waar fans al vijftig jaar op wachten. In 2026 brengen de uitgevers Superman/Spider-Man en Spider-Man/Superman uit, een historisch duo van nieuwe verhalen en heruitgaven die een nieuw tijdperk voor superheldencomics moeten inluiden. De samenwerking markeert het 50-jarig jubileum van het originele Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man uit 1976 en combineert nostalgie met een frisse creatieve koers.Het project begint in januari met twee facsimile-edities van de klassieke team-ups, gevolgd door gloednieuwe delen in maart en april. Hoewel de creatieve teams nog niet zijn onthuld, belooft deze samenwerking iconische momenten en verrassende cameo's van andere helden uit beide universa. In de podcast bespreken we wat deze comeback betekent voor de toekomst van Marvel en DC — en of dit het begin is van een gedeeld superheldenmultiversum dat fans al decennia hopen te zien.Shane Black gelooft dat Robert Downey Jr. de superheldenfilms gaat reddenVolgens Iron Man 3-regisseur Shane Black is Robert Downey Jr. precies wat het superheldengenre nodig heeft. In een interview over zijn nieuwe film Play Dirty vertelt Black dat Downey's terugkeer als Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday de hele comicbookfilmindustrie nieuw leven kan inblazen. “Hij gaat het in zijn eentje reanimeren,” zegt de regisseur. “Het klinkt misschien cynisch, maar het gaat werken.”Downey's terugkeer, dit keer niet als Tony Stark maar als Marvel's iconische schurk, was een van de grootste verrassingen van de afgelopen jaren. Na Endgame leek het MCU stuurloos, met wisselende kwaliteit en dalende box office-cijfers. Marvel heeft dus alles te winnen met deze casting. In de podcast bespreken we waarom juist Downey's charisma en vakmanschap dit genre weer op de kaart kunnen zetten — en of Avengers: Doomsday de grote comeback wordt waar Marvel zo naar snakt.Timestamps:00:00:00 – Nerd Culture #22800:00:42 – Stelling van de Week00:03:20 – The Librarian 200:12:00 – Films uit de jaren 200000:15:28 – Marvel Zombies00:20:50 – Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man00:22:00 – Over de serie00:26:00 – Peacemaker Seizoen 200:28:00 – Over een Fortnite emote00:29:15 – Frankenstein Trailer00:31:50 – Frankenstein Art00:34:30 – Magic: The Gathering Teaser00:38:00 – Avatar 300:40:55 – Indiana Jones kost $400 miljoen00:43:40 – Nicolas Cage terug in National Treasure 300:48:00 – Avengers: Doomsday00:50:30 – Shane Black over Robert Downey Jr.00:52:35 – The Mummy 400:55:39 – Superman breekt records00:56:40 – Marvel x DC Comic Crossover00:59:35 – The Simpsons Movie Sequel01:00:00 – Edge of Tomorrow 201:03:00 – Battle Royale Trailer01:05:40 – Einde

We'll spin around and wag our tails for a treat -- we're kinda shameless that way here at Breakfast All Day. October begins with reviews of three very different films: GOOD BOY, a lean and clever horror movie told from a dog's perspective. Indy, who's director and co-writer Ben Leonberg's own retriever, is actually the best boy. And in case you're worried: He's OK at the end. In theaters. PLAY DIRTY, a listless action comedy from director and co-writer Shane Black, who's had a much better track record with this kind of movie in the past ("Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," "The Nice Guys"). Mark Wahlberg and LaKeith Stanfield lead an ensemble cast. Streaming on Prime Video, but you should avoid it. ARE WE GOOD?, an intimate documentary that looks at the life and career of comedian and "WTF Podcast" host Marc Maron. In particular, it focuses on how he's working through grief after the death of his girlfriend, filmmaker Lynn Shelton. We liked this. In theaters. Next week is nuts, with about eight movies coming out that have awards potential, or at least year-end buzz. So keep your ears open, and we'll help guide you through this busy time. Thanks for being here. Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/

I've been saying this for quite some time now; Rosa Salazar is an epic force in this industry. Not only is she brimming with undeniable screen presence, but she's also amassed a filmography packed with uniquely ambitious projects.After getting her start with American Horror Story and Parenthood, Salazar jumped into two of the most popular young adult film franchises of the 2010s with supporting roles in The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials and Insurgent. Those projects teed her up nicely to headline her very own studio action film, Alita: Battle Angel. In the series realm, Salazar also starred in two especially unforgettable streaming shows, the Prime Video animated series Undone, and Netflix's Brand New Cherry Flavor. The combination of all of those titles and then some highlights Salazar's endless range, and having such range came in handy big time on her latest project, Prime Video's Play Dirty.The Shane Black-directed action comedy is based on the “Parker” book series by Donald E. Westlake. Mark Wahlberg steps in as Parker, a skilled thief who assembles a team to pull off a seemingly impossible heist. That team includes Salazar's Zen, an invaluable member of the crew, but also one you're going to want to keep an eye on.While on Collider Ladies Night, Salazar deemed the project a no-brainer to take on for two reasons. One, Shane Black. The other? “Everything I've done in my career led me to this.” Hear all about it in this interview! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of the No Film School Podcast, host GG Hawkins sits down with legendary screenwriter and director Shane Black, known for iconic films like Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout, The Nice Guys, and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. The two dive deep into Black's creative process, his latest project Play Dirty (an adaptation of Donald Westlake's Parker novels), and how his filmmaking journey and sobriety have shaped his vision. From staying true to source material while adding his unique voice, to building character-driven action scenes and navigating Hollywood with integrity and purpose, Shane shares invaluable insights for filmmakers at every stage. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guest Shane Black discuss... What drew Shane to the Parker novels and how he approached adapting them The balance between honoring Westlake's tone and injecting Shane's signature wit How to structure complex stories while preserving ambiguity and character depth Creating blue-collar, competent anti-heroes as a more grounded alternative to spy thrillers The role of pre-visualization, animatics, and spontaneity on set How Shane leads a creative and collaborative environment with his cast and crew The power of post-production and the art of shaping the final story in the edit Building creative stamina and the importance of structure in a writer's day Advice for filmmakers entering a fear-based industry with confidence and authenticity The impact of sobriety and self-awareness on creativity and leadership Memorable Quotes: "Parker is a lot of things. Sentimental is not one of them." "You're comparing your insides with their outside. So they look great... So are they." "You don't die from a feeling.” "Be so good they can't ignore you."

Respectable. That may be the best thing one can say about the new Dwayne Johnson movie "The Smashing Machine." In this art house sports drama from writer-director Benny Safdie, The Rock plays troubled mixed martial arts fighter Mark Kerr who battles drugs and insecurity as well as his opponents in the ring. Emily Blunt is his impatient, moderately supportive girlfriend. The performances of real-life MMA fighters Ryan Bader, Bas Rutten and former heavyweight champion boxer Oleksander Usyk bring additional authenticity. The stars are fine, but in an attempt to avoid cliches, the movie also avoids dramatic momentum. This low-key, matter-of-fact approach prevents "The Smashing Machine" from scoring a knockout. A true story from California's devastating 2018 Camp Fire is the basis of the Apple TV+ thriller, "The Lost Bus." Matthew McConaughey stars as a troubled school bus driver who attempts to navigate the overwhelming blaze and save the lives of two dozen kids and a teacher, played by America Ferrera. Director Paul Greengrass, best known for the Jason Bourne films, knows how to build tension. With “The Lost Bus,” he's created a realistic and involving nail-biter. In the tongue-in-cheek Amazon Prime crime thriller "Play Dirty," Mark Wahlberg plays Parker, the gifted professional thief from Richard Stark's novel series. What may have worked on the page seems overblown and ludicrous on screen under the direction of action filmmaker Shane Black. After a racetrack heist goes bad, Parker recruits a band of thieves to steal some priceless antiquities and exact revenge on the woman who ruined his previous caper. A good cast is wasted in a bloody, noisy, profane and utterly preposterous crime opus.

Play Dirty is a 2025 action thriller film co-written and directed by Shane Black. It is based on the "Parker" book series by Donald E. Westlake, under the pen name 'Richard Stark'. The film stars Mark Wahlberg as the lead character Parker and LaKeith Stanfield as Grofield, another recurring Stark character, along with Rosa Salazar, Keegan-Michael Key, Chukwudi Iwuji, Nat Wolff, and Thomas Jane, and Tony Shalhoub.Hosted by Ausha.

The underworld is crowded with thieves, but Parker has always stood apart. Created by Donald Westlake in the early 1960s, the character has been portrayed on screen by actors including Lee Marvin, Mel Gibson, and Jason Statham. He's a blunt-force professional who isn't Bond, isn't Batman, but something rougher, hungrier, and coded by his own ruthless blue-collar sense of order. With "Play Dirty," filmmaker Shane Black takes his own crack at Parker, bringing the character to Prime Video on October 1 and casting Mark Wahlberg in the role. The film follows Parker, a ruthless thief, and his expert crew who stumble onto the heist of a lifetime that pits them against the New York mob. The film also stars LaKeith Stanfield, Rosa Salazar, Keegan-Michael Key, Nat Wolff, and more. This version doesn't come with gadgets or acrobatics. Black describes a Parker who thinks fast, hits harder, and feels closer to the blue-collar world than to the spy fantasy. It's the kind of material that lets him indulge his taste for pulp grit, sly humor, and the holiday backdrop he's made famous. But it also opens the door to some bigger questions: what draws audiences to men this uncompromising? How do you make crime fun without sanding off the edges? And what happens when you cast Wahlberg instead of Robert Downey Jr.?READ MORE: ‘All Of You': Brett Goldstein On Love, The Science of Soulmates, ‘Shrinking' Surprises, & ‘Ted Lasso' [The Discourse Podcast]Writer/Director Shane Black joins The Discourse to talk about the journey of bringing his Parker film to the screen, which started all the way back during the making of Black's first film, “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” in 2005. When asked what itch hadn't been scratched by earlier adaptations, Black pointed to Parker's uniqueness. “Each one represents the era in which it was produced. 'Point Blank' with Lee Marvin is a very specific film for that time period. And each actor who's played Parker from there on, like Robert Duvall, Jason Statham, and Mel Gibson in "Payback." There has been a history of incarnations of this powerful, relentless character. But he's not James Bond, which is why I liked him. He's sort of blue collar. It's almost like an American entrepreneur's story. But he happens to be a really awful, bad person and a criminal anti-hero.”

Shane Black (writer/director, Play Dirty, The Nice Guys, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang; writer, Lethal Weapon,The Last Boy Scout) returns to discuss his connection to Donald Westlake, the writer on whose work Play Dirty is based, what he and his co-writers each bring to a script, how he pushes through imposter syndrome, respectful but playful actors, how production is just "shopping for ingredients," and lots more.Listen to the last time Shane visited the podcast in 2016 on Apple podcasts or wherever you get your pods.The Thrilling Adventure Hour celebrates its 20th anniversary with shows in NY and London!Come see Paul F.

En attendant la sortie imminente de PLAY DIRTY de Shane Black (qui reprend le personnage de Parker, créé par Donald Westlake dans le roman LE CHASSEUR), Stéphane Moïssakis et Rafik Djoumi se penchent sur LE POINT DE NON-RETOUR, toute première adaptation réalisée par un jeune John Boorman, qui signe ici son premier film américain en dirigeant Lee Marvin dans le rôle de... Walker !Ce ne sera pas la seule trahison de cette adaptation libre, qui donne néanmoins lieu à un film formidablement expérimental, tour à tour badass et existentialiste ! À noter qu'à chaque fois que cette bourrique de Stéphane cite "John Saxon", il faut bien entendu entendre "John Vernon".Retrouvez toutes nos émissions sur http://www.capturemag.frPour nous soutenir, il y a deux adresses :PATREON : https://www.patreon.com/capturemagTIPEEE : https://www.tipeee.com/capture-magLISEZ CAPTURE MAG !Toutes nos revues sont disponibles dans les librairies, les magasins de produits culturels et sites marchands.Akileos : https://bit.ly/AkilsCMCapture Mag est sur LETTERBOXD : https://letterboxd.com/CaptureMag/En MP3 sur Acast : https://bit.ly/3v6ee7sSur SPOTIFY : https://spoti.fi/3PJYnF3Sur DEEZER : https://bit.ly/2wtDauUSur APPLE podcasts : https://apple.co/2UW3AyO#JohnBoorman #LeeMarvin #PointBlank Hébergé par Acast.

Filmmaker Christopher Jason Bell (Miss Me Yet, Attention Shoppers) joins us to discuss Last Action Hero, a meta action comedy featuring too many ideas, a healthy serving of great jokes, and a fascinating reckoning for its star Arnold Schwarzenegger as he was aging into the second act of his movie star career. We begin with a conversation about the action hero vehicle, its dominance in the 1980s, and its turn to self-reference and parody in the early 1990s. Then, we explore Last Action Hero's bizarre combination of action movie tropes and lighter cartoon comedy logic that makes its satirical targets more difficult to identify. After, we address the ways the film incidentally exonerates itself from some of the more ideologically thorny tendencies of police films by embracing fantasy and drawing attention to its artifice. Finally, we spend some time discussing Chris's latest brilliant and beautiful film Failed State, how its component parts all came together, and what it means to be a filmmaker in our moment of constant crises and social alienation.Follow Christopher Jason Bell on TwitterWatch Chris's films on Means.tv Watch the trailer for Failed StateGet access to all of our premium episodes and bonus content by becoming a Hit Factory Patron for just $5/month.....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish

Matt and Eric drive the crazy bus into Shane Black's THE PREDATOR, from 2018 - a wild messy misfire that tries to do a few new things with the Predator saga but winds up kinda/sorta being stinky poo poo. 

Welcome to a new sub-series of the podcast devoted to screenplays for movies that never got made. There are tons of famous screenplays from Oliver Stone's first draft of Conan to Del Toro's At the Mountains of Madness. For each episode in this series, we will read and review a script that never got made.In this episode, I am joined by author Anthony Trevino and Musician/Filmmaker Issa Diao to discuss The Unproduced Shadow Company by Shane Black and Fred Dekker which was supposed to be John Carpenter's follow-up to They Live in 1988. This cult classic script that was cross between Platoon and Night of the Living Dead is something of a legend. We break it down.

To wet your whistle, we're giving you our episode on LETHAL WEAPON 2 today, for free.This week on 48 HOURS OF BUDDY MOVIES, we tackle one of the defining entries in the genre — LETHAL WEAPON 2! For Liam, this one's personal: a formative film that helped shape his love of buddy movies and action cinema. We unpack the evolution of Riggs and Murtaugh's partnership, from antagonistic sparks in the first film to full-blown brotherhood here, and how that emotional core elevates the surrounding mayhem. We dig into Richard Donner's slick direction, Joel Silver's architectural in-jokes, the reverberating echoes of Shane Black's voice in the heavily re-written script, and the film's perfect cocktail of gunfights, jokes, and toilet-based suspense. Plus: the politics of apartheid-era villains, the joys of Joe Pesci's scene-stealing turn, and how this sequel helped codify the rhythms and tropes of the modern buddy action movie. A foundational text — and a very special episode! You won't be “immune” to the vibes of this one!Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbFE2P3tASIAt the time of release, LETHAL WEAPON 2 is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV/iTunes, YouTube and Fandango and on physical media through selected outlets.Click here to subscribe to our Patreon feed: 48 HOURS OF BUDDY MOVIES!www.patreon.com/48hoursofbuddymoviesCREDITS"Miami Nights - Extended Theme" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/police2.wav by guitarguy1985 – https://freesound.org/s/70938/ – License: Creative Commons 0 Hosted on Acast.
